important to address both of these
issues.
A supplier with a strong IoT ecosystem
will offer customers a comprehensive
and broad portfolio of components,
ranging from microcontrollers to RF
hardware. Designers can rest assured
that the supplier is providing a suite of
components that were designed in-house
and will be interoperable.
Even if the ecosystem does not offer all
the components that a designer needs, a
supplier that has ample experience and
relationships with others in the industry
can help ensure design success. This
guidance can manifest itself in the form
of helping customers choose components
and expedite the certification process.
All things considered, a strong IoT
ecosystem translates into ease of design,
ease of testing, and ultimately a faster
time to market for fleet telematics
systems.
With a strong IoT ecosystem, TE
Connectivity helps customers by:
• Leveraging established partnerships
with leading cellular module
manufacturers to ensure external
antenna solutions are compatible with
their modules.
• Aiding customers in acquiring wireless
certifications.
• Offering a diverse and comprehensive
portfolio of IoT solutions to minimize
design complexity and sourcing
challenges.
