Distributor Avnet has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Broadcom to cover EMEA.
Under the new agreement, Avnet will serve as the exclusive broadline distributor for Broadcom in the Americas and EMEA regions and will also continue its franchise in Asia.
It gives Avnet access to Broadcom's range of analogue and digital semiconductor connectivity solutions, primarily in wired infrastructure, wireless communications, enterprise storage and industrial markets.
"As the technology industry continues to globalise, the ability to serve customers and suppliers wherever they do business is critical," said Lynn Torrel, senior vice president, semiconductor business development, worldwide.
"What Avnet can also bring them is the scale and scope their customers need to get to market faster - it provides true differentiation."
