There are a multitude of companies and proposed network solutions. Digi-Key are committed to helping its customers navigate the plethora of choices and find the best solutions for their applications or use cases.
In an effort to accelerate IoT adoption by its customers, Digi-Key offers the latest and greatest IoT-relevant products and services in its Internet of Things (IoT) Resource Center. IoT products span many different categories, including hardware, software and cloud and connectivity services. Digi-Key are working hard to bring together and bundle these products and services in meaningful ways that integrate into more complete solutions.
Integrated solutions for Health & Safety
- Corporate property monitoring
- IT server room status
The COVID-19 crisis has brought several IoT solutions to the forefront. The overarching goal of these tools is to assist in preventing the spread of the virus, which can be transmitted by air as well as by touch or on surfaces. The EPA has reported that Americans are spending 90% of their time in buildings ‘where the concentrations of some pollutants are often two to five times higher than typical outdoor concentrations’. IoT solutions can mitigate some of these risks by monitoring and controlling key transmission modalities.
