Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), a leading global technology
distributor, today introduced the Avnet BCM4343W IoT Starter Kit
powered by the Broadcom® WICED™ SDK with included cloud
connectivity support to Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT. The kit
enables designers to quickly prototype and develop cloud-connected
devices and then rapidly move to production with a pre-certified
wireless SoC module. Technical experts from Avnet and Broadcom
Corporation are demonstrating the new kit on AWS IoT cloud services
at the AWS re:Invent conference, Oct. 6-9, 2015, Venetian Hotel in
Las Vegas. Avnet has also created a short video to give engineers a

priced at $49.95.
The starter kit features an Arduino™ compatible baseboard
containing a Broadcom WICED Wi-Fi+BLE+MCU module that combines an
advanced Broadcom 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth®/Bluetooth
Smart 4.1 SoC with an STM32F411 ARM® Cortex™ M4 MCU supporting
512KB Flash, 128KB SRAM and 8Mb Serial Flash. Application
development is supported through Broadcom’s WICED Software
Development Kit (SDK), which includes connection to AWS services
through an intuitive integrated development environment. The kit
simplifies cloud connectivity for designers in a variety of IoT
market segments, including industrial automation, building
automation and smart home appliances.
“Avnet has worked closely with Broadcom to create a compelling
solution for designers interested in adding IoT connectivity to
their products enabled by AWS IoT,” said Jim Beneke, vice president
of global technical marketing for Avnet Electronics Marketing.

WICED SDK with a flexible hardware platform that can be moved
directly to production with the certified module, Avnet has created
a platform that provides a seamless path to production for IoT
developers,” said Andrew Hunter, director, worldwide sales at
