Arrow Unveils IoT Lab, Joins Intel for Edge-Computing Effort
Read MoreHide Full Article
Arrow Electronics, Inc. (ARW - Free Report) recently joined forces with Colorado Smart Cities Alliance to unveil Colorado Open Lab for Internet of Things (IoT) engineering.
The company also announced that it is teaming up with Intel (INTC - Free Report) to launch Ambient Science, an IEEE global edge-computing standard, which is going to be showcased at Colorado Open Lab. The lab will serve as the proving ground for the new infrastructure.
Colorado Open Lab is Arrow’s latest addition to the string of open labs that it is launching globally. The company’s first open lab was in Hong Kong, which successfully brought in significant collaborations in consumer as well as industrial IoT.
The lab will showcase customer development activities and collaborate for innovations to fast track development of OEM IoT devices and artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced applications. Reportedly, showcases include smart street lighting, smart parking, smart buildings, environment and resource conservation, energy resilience, infrastructure and asset management, and intelligent transportation, among others.
Colorado Open Lab will showcase and test the Ambient Science edge-compute infrastructure, which serves many applications in smart cities, smart buildings and industrial IoT. Edge computing is a way of optimizing cloud computing systems.
How Arrow is Poised to Benefit
Per Frost and Sullivan, the Smart Cities market is estimated at $2 trillion by 2025. Moreover, per Markets and Markets, the Edge Compute market is estimated to be worth $6.72 billion by 2022.
Fast growth in IoT, big data, AI and blockchain are major trends that are influencing IT spending, which bodes well for Arrow, given the nature of its offerings.
Per Gartner, this spending will reach $3.85 trillion in 2019, representing year-over-year growth of 2.8% from the current-year level. All these encourage us about the company’s near-term prospects.
We note that Arrow has secured significant market share (12.52% in 2018 per CSIMarket.com) through its broad portfolio of products and services, and continued efforts to maximize consumer satisfaction.
The company’s diverse product range includes UC in the Cloud solutions and remote infrastructure-management (Live Virtual Help Desk) services — a platform that is particularly designed for aggregating, merchandising and delivering cloud-related services to system integrators, autonomous software dealers, and IT service providers from all over the world.
According to International Data Corporation (IDC), spending on public cloud services and infrastructure will reach $277 billion by 2021.
We believe the company’s expertise in understanding market dynamics and strong product portfolio will continue to aid growth.
Long-term earnings growth for Vishay and Radware are pegged at 9.2% and 19%, respectively.
Today's Stocks From Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6% and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
