system’s multi-tenant, hierarchical SaaS platform continues to facilitate device provisioning and management. SensiEDGE and Arrow have been collaborating since September 2017, with SensiBLE becoming the first product available through the tie- up. SensiEDGE also signed up to Arrow’s recently introduced SoM programme, which includes layers for community boards, embedded vision and embedded processors. The programme is designed to help developers get their products to a production-ready state as quickly as possible, and is facilitated by providing a choice of building blocks that can accelerate development. Security assured Practicality and security are at the heart of Arrow Connect and SensiBLE. In fact, the latter is cyber protected by a hardware link layer of AES-128 encryption and decryption. Power can be supplied directly using a standard 3V coin-cell battery, a pair of AAA batteries or any other power source from 2 to 7V. All of this serves to simplify proof-of- concept for applications that include

AWS excels in areas such as the multiple features offered to customers. For example, IoT-specific services such as AWS Greengrass and AWS IoT Core help users to collect and send data to the cloud, make it easy to load and analyse that information, and provide the ability to manage devices so that engineers can focus on developing applications which fit requirements. Microsoft Azure describes itself as an open, flexible, enterprise-grade cloud computing platform. Integrated tools, DevOps and an online marketplace support users in building anything from simple mobile apps to Internet- scale solutions. Swift as an arrow Whichever platform is preferred, for those looking to simplify cloud solutions for customers, Arrow Connect is rapidly becoming the go-to resource. Arrow Connect is a universal ingestion layer that permits developers to connect any device over any protocol to any cloud. As a result, the plumbing of data from edge to cloud has never been easier. The solution offers security, scale, flexibility, open APIs and extensibility as core principles, ultimately ensuring that products can be brought to market faster. Arrow Connect device SDKs help developers to leverage the full capabilities of the platform on any device, and can run on multiple public cloud platforms and serve as a complete development platform. Alternatively, Arrow Connect can seamlessly integrate with Microsoft Azure, IBM or AWS, while another option is integration with the developer’s own custom data ingestion to build a solution while the

Voice to Text, activity recognition, wearable sensors, or environmental applications, for example. Explosive growth Ultimately SensiEDGE helps developers and start-ups to build proof-of-concept and launch to the market with ready modules available off-the-shelf. Indeed, although fully customisable, many customers are able to use SensiBLE in their end device as-supplied, which is very convenient as the market expects to see continued, robust growth for IoT solutions in 2018 and beyond. By 2025, an estimated 70 billion connected devices, including lights, smart meters, thermostats and wearable electronics, will be in service. Indeed, a recent report by McKinsey estimated these devices will be responsible for contributing an estimated $11 trillion to the global economy, while Gartner predicts IoT technology will be embedded in 95% of new electronic product designs by 2020. Clearly, easy-to-use IoT SOM starter kits are set to become a vital part of the industry, so be sure to choose wisely.
