Software Services: Expertise, Know-How & Connections - Your Complete Software Partner

Avnet Silica goes beyond distributing the building blocks for your next project. We offer comprehensive software services backed by a team of embedded software and system engineering experts across the EMEA region. Our team isn't just about moving boxes; they possess the deep technical know-how to provide software-centric project support, training, consulting, and full-fledged software engineering support. This expertise extends beyond individual components, as our engineers are specialists in system-level evaluation and architectural consulting, ensuring your project is built on a solid foundation from the start.

Our aim is to start engaging with you by discussing the application or system you would like to create and then dive deeper by:

• Analyzing the data flow (bandwidth, latency)
• Discussing the implications on software (drivers, licenses, longevity)
• Discussing production, system live cycles and update processes
• Analyzing safety and security implications and work on an appropriate security concept that fits this analysis right (security should NEVER be an afterthought)

Key Embedded Software and Microsoft Licensing 

Embedded / IoT system stands for a computing system or device with an image, designed for a dedicated task. It’s not marketed or usable as a general purpose personal computing device (such as a personal computer), a multi-function server or a commercially viable substitute for one of these systems. Typically, embedded and IoT computing refers to any system performing a fixed function or used with a specific embedded software application. These are systems that the end user mostly cannot modify. Customers have to sign a Microsoft Embedded OEM agreement to use embedded licenses for their products. The embedded channel is a closed channel, meaning sub-distribution of embedded licenses is prohibited and the customer (OEM) has to bundle the licenses with hardware to an embedded system.
