They also demoed their new Microsoft Azure Sphere, a new security service designed to create secure IoT connected microcontroller-powered devices. Avnet, a Microsoft partner, is the first company to distribute it.

The company also provided a look at their smart solutions, a showcase of design, cloud and digital tools featuring technology from Intel, Microsoft, Infineon, Renesas, Digikey, ST, Laird, Microchip, NXP, Trusted Objects, Dell and AT&T along with AT&T IoT Starter Kit 2.0, which provides users with a comprehensive 1-stop environment for developing and producing sensor-to-cloud services and software and eUICC/Idemia, an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card designed to assist companies in on-boarding new network carriers by enabling them to remotely program and manage SIM cards. Idemia is the platform that is used to do it all.
