Azure IoT Certified Device Catalog

Microsoft launched an Azure IoT Certified Device Catalog, which helps partners work with customers in deploying IoT solutions to choose the best devices.

This catalog extends the Microsoft Azure Certified IoT program, which certifies that devices are tested and verified to work with Azure IoT. The program tells customers how devices connect to the internet, which sensors they work with, and the industry protocols they are capable of processing.

The program has certified 175 devices from 100 partners – ranging from prototypes to commercial.

"This is helpful for customers who want to find specific devices to meet all their needs," Sam George, director of IoT at Microsoft, told CRN. "The catalog also provides searching capabilities."
