The trusted hardware for IoT

With its built-in community and security features, Microsoft Azure Sphere has become the trusted application platform for Internet-connected devices. And Microsoft has in turn entrusted Avnet to distribute Azure Sphere. This is due in no small part to our hardware expertise and overall Iot capabilities.

Avnet’s chips are therefore Azure Sphere-certified, building in Microsoft security technology with a dependable hardware root of trust. Boasting built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, the MediaTek 3620 is a cross-over class of microcontrollers that offers the best of both worlds: the power and versatility of an Arm Cortex-A7 processor and the low overhead and real-time guarantees of a Cortex M-class processor. True end-to-end security is also achieved with the added layers of protection and continuous security updates of the Azure Sphere OS as well as the vigilant monitoring of emergent threats by Azure Sphere Security Service and Microsoft security experts. As a result, companies are able to scale their IoT deployments with absolute confidence.
