Arrow Electronics expands RF connectivity with Sunway Communication
Following the signing of an agreement by Arrow Electronics with Sunway Communication, a developer and manufacturer of components and modules for RF connectivity applications, the distributor will offer and support the Sunway portfolio throughout the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Arrow is now able to supply Sunway’s full product range, including its ultra -wideband (UWB) products, including modules and development kits based on NXP Semiconductors’ Trimension UWB portfolio. These devices enable the development of applications including device tracking, real-time locating systems and access control for consumer and industrial settings. The devices use time of flight and angle of arrival measurements to determine relative positions in three dimensions.
Founded in 2006, Sunway has filed over 2,000 patents and introduced wireless connectivity products including antennas, RF modules, wireless charging modules, EMC/EMI solutions, transmission lines, cables and connectors.
“Arrow’s extensive engineering and sales infrastructure is perfectly suited to support new customers in the adoption of our expanding standard product portfolio, as well as for customised products,” said Robert Berg, vice president, Sunway Communication.
“NXP Trimension represents one of the broadest UWB portfolios available with tailored sensing solutions for vehicles, smartphones and IoT devices. Sunway Communication’s modules and antennas make it easy to integrate our solutions into the increasing amount of IoT devices,” says Peter Pirc, senior marketing manager for UWB Mobile & IoT Solutions, NXP Semiconductors. “
