Arrow Electronics Teams up with 10 Global Technology Suppliers to Help Thai Businesses Adopt Integrated IoT Solutions

 

According to a survey conducted by Asia IoT Business
Platform in 2017, companies in Thailand were most likely (89%) to explore
and/or implement IoT solutions. This was followed by Malaysia (86%), Indonesia
(83%), the Philippines (80%) and Vietnam (79%)[1].
Thailand’s IoT spending is forecast to increase by 1600% by 2020[2].
