Read MoreHide Full Article

Arrow Electronics (ARW - Free Report) recently unveiled its first professional services automation (PSA) certified platform for Internet of Things (IoT) developers. The platform – PSoC (programmable system on a chip) 64 IoT Security Workshop Development Kit – will simplify and accelerate the development of secure IoT devices meeting the accepted cyber-protection standards.

Kit Will Accelerate IoT Projects

Created in conjunction with Infineon Technologies, the development kit is aligned with the accepted industry and government standards and regulations for electronic security, thereby helping the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) ensure compliance with the emerging IoT legislation.

Arrow’s newly launched PSA certified kit includes Arrow PSoC 6 IoT Sensor Shield, Infineon PSoC 64 Secure AWS IoT Pioneer Kit and Shield2Go kits. The kit is operational on Amazon’s (AMZN - Free Report) Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) cloud and comes with certified functional application programming interfaces (APIs) and an integrated dashboard for monitoring and visualization.

Built with a sensor-to-cloud security feature, the development kit is a pre-tested and validated reference design that will ensure the end-to-end security of IoT devices. Apart from simplifying the programming, deployment and management of IoT devices, the platform eases secure connectivity to Amazon’s AWS cloud services for an edge.

The kit helps OEMs quickly start their IoT projects.

Huge Opportunity in IoT Space

The latest product launch will broaden Arrow’s capabilities in the ever-growing IoT space. Given the rising number of connected products in our everyday lives, IoT is poised to grow strongly.

Per a recent report by Mordor Intelligence, the IoT market is expected to reach approximately $1.39 trillion in 2026 from $761.4 billion in 2020, representing a CAGR of 10.5%. The recently introduced PSA certified development kit provides Arrow with some key capabilities to cater to this huge opportunity.
