Mouser signs global agreement to distribute Samsung Artik
Mouser Electronics and Samsung have signed a global distribution agreement to distribute the Samsung Artik Smart Internet of Things (IoT) platform.
The agreement is to distribute the Samsung Artik family of modules, development kits, and accessories. The Smart IoT platform is designed to help developers capitalise on easy-to-use, open and enterprise-grade application programming interfaces (APIs), SDKs, and tools to quickly bring wearable, smart, and IoT projects to market.
Jeff Newell, senior vice president of products at Mouser said: “Mouser is excited to add the Samsung Artik products to our IoT linecard. With our shared focus on prototyping within the design cycle, Mouser and Samsung can better fulfill demand for this technology around the world.”
“We are pleased that Mouser has joined our growing list of global distributors to help speed customers in their IoT development and time to market. Mouser’s focus on delivering the newest technologies with best-in-class service, is a win for designers as demand for IoT applications continues to grow,” said John Kalkman, vice president of worldwide Samsung Artik Platform Sales, Samsung Electronics.
The SAMSUNG ARTIK Smart IoT platform, ais vailable now from Mouser Electronics, to build and deploy secure, interoperable IoT products and services. The tiny, low-power, lightweight ARTIK 0 family consists of the Artik 020 and Artik 030 and is optimised for single-function IoT devices, such as door locks, lights, and sensors. The Artik 020 module integrates all of the necessary elements required for a Bluetooth low energy application, while the Artik 030 module enables rapid development of wireless mesh networking solutions using ZigBee or Thread protocols.
The Artik 5 family includes the Artik 520 and Artik 530 modules. The Artik 520 is an integrated system-on-module (SoM) that uses a dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ZigBee for secure point-to-point authentication and data transfer in home automation and home hub devices. The Artik 530 offers many of the same features as the Artik 520 module, but at a lower cost boosts performance with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and support for Bluetooth 4.2 and Thread connectivity.
For building high-end IoT gateways or multimedia applications, or for large amounts of local processing, the Artik 710 module offers an eight-core, 64-bit ARM Cortex A-53 processor and built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Thread communication.
The Samsung Artik modules are supported by development kits as well as accessory boards for some modules — including a camera, liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, and sensor board, also available from Mouser.
