Supplement: Distribution Say ADIOS to restrictive supply chain deals
T
o support customer choice, Anglia Components Plc has launched a new limited company, ADIOS Electronics Ltd. However, unlike a traditional broker model where parts are sourced to customer requirement, ADIOS will hold inventory on popular products. John Bowman, marketing director, said: “There is a trend among certain large semiconductor manufacturers to reduce their distribution network. This, of course, reduces their operating costs and increases their profitability, whilst giving them an unhealthy leverage and restricting customer choice. For over fifty years, Anglia has been guided by customer demand; the ADIOS investment over the last 12 months comes as a response to a real need from our customers.
ADIOS creates a new distribution model
that strategically merges the reliability of traditional distribution – such as robust inventory management, quality control and high service levels – with the agility and reach of a broker. At the same time, ADIOS unlocks access to a broader supplier base without the restrictions imposed by franchised lines, enabling competitive pricing and faster sourcing across global markets. By combining these strengths, ADIOS aims to legitimise the traditional broker model and deliver a compelling value proposition: the assurance and professionalism of a distributor, with the flexibility and cost-efficiency of a broker. ADIOS is offering semiconductors from key brands such as Analog Devices Inc. (ADI), Maxim and Linear Technology. ADIOS is AS9120 accredited.
Bowman concluded: “We are taking a
stand against suppliers that operate restrictive sales channels. We are firmly committed to giving customers the choice of where to buy semiconductors, and we believe that with the creation of ADIOS, completely separate from Anglia, we will be able to deliver on our
promise to give customers what they need.” Customers can view available inventory on the ADIOS website:
www.adios-electronics.com Mouser eBook explores the future of satellite communications M ouser Electronics, in
collaboration with Qorvo and other specialists in RF and space-grade technologies,
has released a new eBook titled “Engineering the Future of Satellite Communications.” This free resource delivers timely insights for engineers designing next-generation satellite systems for applications ranging from broadband connectivity to remote sensing and secure communications.
The eBook explores how advancements in RF components, power management and packaging are shaping satellite communications in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and Geostationary Orbit (GEO). Featuring
in-depth commentary from technical experts across the industry and space systems command, the publication helps design engineers navigate key challenges such as size, weight and power (SWaP) optimisation, signal integrity at high frequencies, and long-term reliability in harsh space environments.
“The satellite landscape is evolving rapidly, with more complexity and performance demands than ever,” said Ryan Jennings, director of SATCOM and systems engineering, Qorvo. “This eBook gives engineers a roadmap of emerging technologies and proven techniques to help accelerate design cycles and system performance.”
Key takeaways for readers include:
Technologies to enhance signal chain
efficiency across Ku-, Ka- and V-bands
How GaN and GaAs technologies can enable
higher output power and bandwidth
Advanced packaging and thermal
management design considerations for space reliability
