Based on Bluetooth technology, WLAN and IEEE802.15.4 (ZigBee), connectBlue provides ready-to-use products and modules as well as custom design solutions in both hardware and software.
Explaining the background to the announcement, Mats Andersson, Arrow Nordic subsystems marketing and engineering director, says: 'connectBlue has a close relationship with NXP, as does Arrow'.
'This new agreement means that our customers will be able to develop wireless-enabled products using connectBlue modules based on NXP semiconductors knowing that, should they move into high volume production, they can migrate to discrete NXP semiconductor solutions with Arrow'.
'Similarly, customers who are intending to develop using discrete ICs will have the ability to prototype using connectBlue modules'.
'In either case, software investment will be preserved, reducing development expense and time to market'.
Martin Engdahl, Sales Director, connectBlue, adds: 'Arrow's extensive technical sales resources have been further strengthened recently by the creation of a dedicated subsystems team in the Nordic region and we look forward to a successful relationship with them'.
