U-blox leverages Digi-Key for US distribution
Digi-Key will offer the latest GNSS and 3D Dead Reckoning position modules from u-blox, as well as LTE, HSPA, CDMA, and GSM modules. In addition, Digi-Key will promote u-blox’s advanced Bluetooth low energy and Wi-Fi modules, along with evaluation kits and blueprints.
Applications supported include transportation/telematics, industrial monitoring, energy and smart grid, healthcare, home and building automation, smart city and many more. The u-blox products support a wide temperature range, with most of them supporting up to 85°C.
“We are delighted to have Digi-Key as our new and only distributor for the US,” explained Nikolaos Papadopoulos, President of u-blox America. “We wanted to offer engineers, universities, and makers with a Digi-Key account the ability to bundle the purchase of our products with other components they are sourcing from Digi-Key. This will allow customers to more efficiently develop prototypes and get to market faster.”
