Alpha Micro Components (www.alphamicro.net), the independent franchised distributor of electronic components, has announced that it has signed a new Industrial Communication (iCom) agreement with Advantech, the global leader in Industrial Computing Platforms and eAutomation solutions. This agreement will see Alpha Micro focus on Advantech’s range of market leading industrial wireless and industrial Ethernet switches.

The multi-award winning Advantech Co., Ltd. was founded in Taiwan in 1983 by three former Hewlett-Packard engineers. Due to rapid natural growth, the organisation has offices located throughout the world, employs over 4,000 people and has achieved a turnover exceeding 650m USD for 2010.

One of Advantech’s greatest resources is its commitment to innovation. Advantech has engineered its industrial wireless applications to support the IEEE802.11b/g/n standards long before any of its competitors. With Advantech’s iCom product range Alpha Micro will be focusing on Industrial Ethernet Solutions within the industrial control, factory automation, power & energy and intelligent transportation markets.

Maxine Hewitt, Marketing Director for Alpha Micro Components, commented: “This is a very exciting development for Alpha Micro which greatly expands the industrial communications solutions we have available for our customers. Advantech has established itself as the leading developer of industrial wireless and Ethernet switches. Its products have been developed with the robustness required for the harshest industrial environments and with the cost-effectiveness demanded in the current economic climate. We expect our clients to be very impressed with the quality and reliability of the Advantech components.”

Andy Courtney, Northern European Sales Manager for Advantech, commented: “As Alpha Micro is one of the leading electronics components distributors in the UK, we are very glad to begin working with them. The combination of their in-house design expertise, which is viewed by customers as a significant added-value service, and their vast experience in the M2M and industrial wireless markets, should help to ensure a very successful partnership.”
