Arduino is excited to announce a strategic new partnership with RS/OKdo, a prominent leader in the distribution of industrial and electronic equipment.This collaboration marks a significant step forward in bringing Arduino’s technology closer to China’s thriving maker community and enterprise sector, offering enhanced local support and access to original Arduino boards and resources.Empowering a growing community in China With over 300,000 active members in China’s Arduino community, one of our top priorities is to deliver an even better experience.
This partnership with RS/OKdo means users will enjoy more local language content, technical support, competitive pricing, and most importantly, easier access to official Arduino products.Official Arduino boards, certified for China As part of this initiative, a range of classic and most popular Arduino boards has been specifically manufactured for the Chinese market.These boards are exactly the same as Arduino’s global versions of the same products, produced in Italy to Arduino’s highest standards, tested rigorously for quality and performance.
Each product , although certified exclusively for the Chinese market, matches the same technical specifications and high-quality benchmarks as those sold worldwide.The boards are available only through RS/OKdo and Arduino/OKdo’s authorized sub-distributors.They have unique Arduino MPNs but with a _CN suffix: Arduino UNO R4 Wifi (ABX00087_CN) Arduino UNO R4 Minima (ABX00080_CN) Arduino UNO R3 (A000066_CN) Arduino Nano ESP32 with (ABX00083_CN) and without (ABX00092_CN) headers Arduino Nano R3 (A000005_CN) Arduino Mega 2560 (A000067_CN) Arduino DUE (A000062_CN) Expanding local support for enterprise transformation In addition to supporting makers, RS/OKdo will provide enhanced technical support to enterprise customers, empowering companies to transform their business operations with Arduino Pro solutions.
This deeper level of assistance will help bridge the gap between local businesses and advanced IoT and industrial automation tools.A stronger connection to China’s maker community Fabio Violante, CEO of Arduino, commented: “.” David Shen, Vice President – Asia Pacific of RS/OKdo added, Join us on this journey! Our partnership with RS/OKdo is a commitment to fostering innovation and expanding access to Arduino’s world-class technology in China.Whether you’re an individual maker or a company ready to transform with IoT, Arduino and RS/OKdo are here to support your journey.
Keep an eye out for official Arduino boards at RS/OKdo, and get ready to create, innovate, and inspire!
