     TE Connectivity, a global connectivity and sensor provider, announced the acquisition of Linx Technologies, a leading RF component provider in the Internet of Things. This strategic acquisition will further strengthen TE's product portfolio and competitiveness in the Internet of Things sector.

     "I am pleased to welcome the Linx Technologies team to TE, by combining TE's breadth, manufacturing scale and distribution channels for wireless connectivity with Linx Technologies' market-leading RF portfolio and deep understanding of iot customer behavior, Can significantly increase the value we bring to our customers. This acquisition is an important milestone in our strategic vision to expand in the high growth edge access and Internet of Things markets." -- Sudhakar Sabada, Senior Vice President and General Manager, TE Data and Terminal Equipment Group
