The general availability indicates Azure Sphere has been thoroughly tested in the preview stage and is now ready for scale-up in production and deployment. This is a milestone not only for Microsoft but also for all players in the IoT sectors, as Azure Sphere will deliver active security by default for IoT applications by companies and organizations large and small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the many secure IoT applications, Azure Sphere has been used in <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2020\/02\/24\/microsoft-azure-sphere-launches-in-general-availability\/\">Microsoft&#8217;s own datacenter as well as in the equipment of Starbucks stores globally<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it&#8217;s universally acknowledged to developers that making a proof-of-concept is an important step in building an IoT solution. In this case, development boards and sensors will come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1754\" height=\"1239\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.seeedstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Azure-Sphere-Series.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Azure-Sphere-Series.jpg 1754w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Azure-Sphere-Series-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Azure-Sphere-Series-1030x728.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Azure-Sphere-Series-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Azure-Sphere-Series-1536x1085.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Azure-Sphere-Series-1024x723.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1754px) 100vw, 1754px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the hatch of Azure Sphere in April 2018, Seeed has been cooperating with Microsoft to provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=Azure+Sphere\">a series of Azure Sphere products<\/a>, including development boards (US, EU &amp; JP version) based on MT3620, the chip developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediatek.com\/products\/azureSphere\/mt3620\">MediaTek<\/a>; Mini Dev Board based on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theai-link.com\/\">Ai Link<\/a>\u2019s WiFi module as well as extension boards that link Azure Sphere to a wide array of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/category\/Grove-c-1003.html\">300+ Grove Sensors and actuators<\/a>, and more.
