Digi-Key Electronics has partnered with Seeed Studio and Machinechat to launch what it is calling the industry’s first private LoRaWAN-in-a-Box solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT).

“Digi-Key is proud to be the exclusive global source for these turnkey, industry-first LoRaWAN solutions,” said Robbie Paul, director of IoT business solutions at Digi-Key. “Wireless connectivity technologies like LoRaWAN are leading the way for mass adoption of IoT, and we are excited to inspire developers and systems integrators around the world with many new possibilities available to them with these solutions.”

Digi-Key is the exclusive distributor of the industry’s first-ever private LoRaWAN-in-a-Box solutions from Machinechat and Seeed Studio.
