Arrow to sell Vodafone IoT services

Electronics components and technology distributor Arrow Electronics said it has made new agreement with Vodafone, a global market leader for cellular network services and managed internet of things (IoT) connectivity. Arrow will market Vodafone's IoT services as part of its eVolve IoT offering.

"Vodafone's solutions and services expand and enhance Arrow's go-to-market strategy in the fast-growing market segments within IoT. Our extensive IoT technology solutions stack and professional services are now complemented with differentiated network services from a global leader".

An example of this is the availability of 2G low data rate SIM connectivity for M2M applications.

"Vodafone's solutions and services expand and enhance Arrow's go-to-market strategy in the fast-growing market segments within IoT. Our extensive IoT technology solutions stack and professional services are now complemented with differentiated network services from a global leader," said Aiden Mitchell, vice president of IoT Solutions at Arrow.

Vodafone Director of IoT Ivo Rook added, "The ecosystem around IoT is going to be critical to the long term success of the technology. I believe that this kind of relationship with Arrow will lead to ongoing success for both organizations and the market more widely."
