If endless design possibilities are what drive excitement for the Internet of Things (IoT), they are also what pose the greatest challenge for manufacturers. From choosing and connecting the right set of system-level hardware, assets or sensors to the cloud, IoT projects are incredibly complex and time-consuming. To help jumpstart IoT projects with confidence, manufacturers prefer to select certified devices and platforms that are tested for readiness, compatibility and usability.
ON Semiconductor has announced it has joined the Microsoft Azure Certified for Internet of Things (IoT) with the certification of its IoT Development Kit (IDK), ensuring customers get IoT solutions up and running quickly with hardware and software that has been pre-tested and verified to work with Microsoft Azure IoT services. Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT allows businesses to reach customers where they are, working with an ecosystem of devices and platforms, allowing for faster time to production.
The IoT Development Kit is a configurable node-to-cloud rapid prototyping platform that offers a wide selection of options for connectivity, sensing and control. Designed using ON Semiconductor’s wide portfolio of energy efficient solutions, the IDK enables rapid development and deployment of IoT applications including Industrial IoT, smart building, and smart home.
By adding Microsoft Azure Certification to this platform, we are validating our ability to jumpstart customers’ IoT projects with pre-tested edge device and cloud service combinations. Decreasing the usual customization and work required for compatibility ensures ON Semiconductor helps customers get started quickly on their IoT solution.
“Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT extends our promise to bring IoT to business scale, starting with interoperable solutions from leading technology companies around the world,” said Jerry Lee, Director of Marketing for Azure Internet of Things, Microsoft Corp. “With trusted offerings and verified partners, Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT accelerates the deployment of IoT even further.”
