Arrow Electronics, a leading company in the distribution of electronic components and computer solutions, has announced a distribution agreement with Semtech, a prominent provider in the field of semiconductors, IoT systems, and cloud connectivity services. This agreement allows Arrow to market the full range of Semtech products in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa).
Semtech’s product range includes LoRa® wireless transceivers for IoT end-nodes, as well as integrated circuits (ICs) for sensing, signal integrity, power management, and circuit protection.
In 2023, Semtech acquired Sierra Wireless, which was already a franchised provider for Arrow, thus incorporating a portfolio of cellular IoT devices to complement their LoRa wireless products. This acquisition resulted in a new IoT system provider from the cloud to the chip, and the agreement announced today extends Arrow’s achievements with Sierra Wireless to a new mission to expand the entire Semtech portfolio.
“We can immediately begin expanding our business with Semtech, leveraging the strong foundation we have already established,” commented Matthias Hutter, Vice President of supplier product management and marketing in EMEA for Arrow Electronics. “We look forward to enhancing our position by leveraging the broad Semtech portfolio, benefiting in particular from the additional flexibility to develop the opportunities we see in the growing IoT space.”
“Arrow has had a successful track record in our key strategic markets and offers an impressive array of services for customers of all sizes and types that help bring forth advanced products and achieve lasting success,” said Colin Chew, Vice President of business management in EMEA for Semtech.
The new agreement builds on the synergy between Semtech’s technologies and Arrow’s associated product and service range, which helps customers create, connect, and manage IoT devices. In addition to engineering support, Arrow has connected with cellular operators, cloud providers, and installation providers to help customers quickly deploy IoT devices and start working with the data right away. The framework helps rapidly implement applications for asset tracking, environmental monitoring, business analytics, healthcare, manufacturing process improvement, and many other uses.
