Link Labs and Arrow Strike a Deal to Better the IoT

Link Labs, a maker of low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) technologies for the IoT, and Arrow Electronics, a provider of products, services, and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions, have signed an agreement to make the IoT easier to access and utilize.

Their agreement will provide global distribution of Link Labs’ product line of LoRa-based radio products. Link Labs manufactures a broad line of radio end node modules and gateways and public network base stations based on Semtech’s LoRa technology, a two-way wireless solution that complements M2M cellular infrastructure. It also provides a low-cost way to connect battery operated and mobile devices to the network infrastructure.  

Link Labs also produces public network equipment supporting the LoRaWAN standard promoted by the LoRa Alliance and the private network Symphony Link. It features a low and high power end node module, repeaters to fill in coverage gaps, an eight-channel gateway for indoor and outdoor versions and a 24-channel public network base station. This platform includes a cloud-based server called Conductor for managing customer data and a growing library of APIs for end application development.

“We are excited to announce this distribution agreement with Arrow. They have the global reach and exceptional IoT marketing capabilities to make it easier for new customers around the world to learn about and get access to our products” said Bryan M. Eagle III, VP, Business Development and Marketing, Link Labs.

The agreement between Link Labs and Arrow Electronics will bring the IoT one step closer to cutting edge technology.

“Arrow Electronics is pleased to add Link Labs to our growing line card of edge-to-enterprise IoT offerings,” said Aiden Mitchell, VP, semiconductor marketing, Arrow.
