Rutronik, Fujitsu Plan European Wireless Push

Rutronik has expanded its product portfolio to include wireless components from Fujitsu Components Europe.

Effective immediately, Rutronik will distribute GPS, WLAN and Bluetooth as well as combination modules with Bluetooth and WLAN support throughout Europe. They are available in SMD technology and plug-in design and are complemented by an external antenna. The deal extends Rutronik and Fujitsu’s earlier partnership covering electromechanical components, semiconductors and PC components.

 

Rutronik will distribute the entire expanded product range throughout Europe. It will be offering designers access to its Wireless Competence Centre with the combined knowledge of its field application engineers, product managers, line managers and business development managers.

 

"The wireless modules from Fujitsu represent the ideal enhancement to our product range," explains Bernd Hantsche (pictured), product area manager of the Wireless Competence Centre at Rutronik. "Fujitsu not only offers sophisticated wireless products, they also promote an interesting portfolio as well as years of experience in this sector. In addition, our customers can take advantage of our experience from the interaction of wireless technologies with microcontrollers and other components."

 

"The concept and the success of the Wireless Competence Centre in combination with the excellent technical and commercial customer support, which we experienced time and time again over the course of our current partnership with Rutronik, convinced us entirely," Dennis van Doorn, account manager wireless products at Fujitsu, explains. “For this reason, the next logical step was to continue working together with Rutronik in the wireless segment.”
