Main Title - 201903S2 Avnet Azure Sphere module

The fastest way to make secure IoT devices

Mixed Media - 201903S2

With more and more IoT devices coming onto the market, the security of these devices is a big concern. The Avnet Azure Sphere MT3260 Modules offer the fastest and easiest ways to make IoT endpoint devices highly secure, so developers can move rapidly from prototype to production.

These production-ready, certified modules support Microsoft’s Azure Sphere end-to-end solution for highly secure, WiFi connected microcontroller devices. Two versions are available. Cost-optimised systems can use the on-board chip antenna module while applications needing higher performance antennas can use an external UFL antenna module supporting two external antennas. As both modules are pin and footprint compatible, migrating designs and enhancing end-products are easy. It’s also faster to design the implementation of Sphere-based solutions as all the necessary support and RF front-end circuitry are integrated onto the 33mm x 22mm module. Developers can even save on certification costs and testing time by leveraging the modules wireless certifications for their end-product.
