Helicomm, a leading wireless networking solutions provider, and Digi-Key Corporation, one of the world's fastest growing distributors of electronic components, today announced the signing of a distribution agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Digi-Key will operate as Helicomm's distributor for its complete line of Zig-Bee compliant wireless products.
This distribution partnership complements Helicomm's existing distributor relationships and allows Helicomm to make its standard-based, wireless networking solutions accessible to customers via Digi-Key's vast distribution channel and real-time online ordering and support services.
Digi-Key's inventory of Helicomm ZigBee-compliant products includes a broad range of IP-link embedded modules, M2M terminals and EZ-Net development kits, which enable customers to meet cost and performance goals with shorter development time and lower cost. Helicomm's products will be offered in Digi-Key's print catalog and online at www.digikey.com.
"We are pleased to add Helicomm to our line card," said Mark Larson, Digi-Key president and COO, "and anticipate its line of versatile products will be of consequential interest and appeal to Digi-Key's broad customer base."
"Digi-Key as a distribution partner will help us reach more customers seeking ZigBee wireless monitoring and control solutions," said Helicomm President Jack Sun. "Digi-Key's strong customer sales and support services and fast and efficient delivery infrastructure will enhance our ability to serve customers."
