Communication Technologies: Building the right connection
‘Communications’ is a pretty broad term. It takes a specialist to understand the nuances of the different appliances and industry standards related to each layer of the communications stack. You’ll appreciate peer-to-peer collaboration when you work with the Avnet team. As we learn about your strategy, we bring the right experts to the table whose hand’s-on experience lines up with your objectives.
We’ll show various techniques to reach your goal. In some cases this means different types of components to use in your board design or in others we present build versus buy server options. Our experts have developed communications products using a wide range of technologies, including:
- RF interconnects
- Ethernet
- Optical
- Networking interfaces
- Storage appliances and high speed memories
- Processors running video acceleration software
Our design team brings the pieces together to achieve optimal performance using minimal bandwidth. We also work directly with the product developers and applications engineers at the suppliers whose products are part of your solution. As an authorized source for every product we represent, our team gets early access to new releases and is first in line for getting questions answered.
Creating differentiation in a world of standards
No matter what layer of the communications infrastructure stack you’re targeting, you’ll need to tie in to a set of industry standards. Our team participates in the various standards committees that drive voice, video, data and broadcast globally. We’ll guide you through the specific design and regulatory requirements needed to operate your application.
We’ll also share resources to supplement your design and create a complete experience for your customers. For example, we’ll show you how to leverage touch technology with your display to deliver a fully interactive visual solution, or help you connect to your cloud or data center for video analytics.
Partnering with Avnet means you get a team, working together seamlessly, able to support every element of your communications application.
