Arrow’s Connectivity Services Offers Global
Distributor’s Bulk Data Rates to Customers Provisioning IoT
Projects
Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW) launched a new
data-connectivity billing service to help reduce the complexity
around building and maintaining internet of things (IoT) projects.
Arrow customers can now provision everything required to design a
smart, connected solution—from hardware to software to
connectivity—all from one central location and on one, single
bill.
With Arrow’s Connectivity Services, customers can purchase data
connectivity (cellular, LPWAN, etc.) directly from Arrow, along
with all of their other IoT needs, from sensors to software. This
is another step Arrow is taking to reduce the complexity of the IoT
product-development cycle and help customers get to market quickly
and cost effectively.
“Arrow is uniquely positioned to remove pain points from the
complicated IoT-development cycle,” said Aiden Mitchell, vice
president of global IoT solutions at Arrow. “Value-added
offerings like Arrow’s Connectivity Services help our customers
monitor, manage and support IoT connected assets and devices, even
when deployed globally.”
Arrow customers currently have access to AT&T and Vodafone
through Arrow’s Connectivity Services, and Arrow plans to extend
the service to additional carriers, globally, moving forward.
Additionally, Arrow customers have access to a complete development
ecosystem, including test SIMs, to help jumpstart their product
development. Arrow collaborated with CSG Systems International to
build Arrow’s Connectivity Services platform.
“Arrow’s Connectivity Services allows our team to focus on its
core strengths of developing and deploying innovative business
solutions that our clients have come to rely on and expect from
McKinley,” said Kevin Rusin, chief financial officer at McKinley
Corporations. “In addition to all the technology components
from sensor to cloud, Arrow continues to build out value-added
service offers like this that removes the burden of managing
multiple relationships and helps us streamline our operations
leading to cost savings and faster time to market.”
Arrow made the announcement today at Mobile World Congress
Americas where the global technology-solutions provider is
exhibiting its comprehensive “sensor-to-sunset” IoT offerings.
Arrow serves as an IoT solutions aggregator, helping customers that
are creating connected and intelligent solutions accelerate their
time to market. With a complete technology stack—from sensor to
cloud, along with expert professional and managed services, Arrow
helps over 125,000 customers around the world—large enterprises and
small startups alike—design and build products, scale efficiently
