30 IoT industry trends chip vendors also come to seize IoT

Not only hardware and software vendors, but even chip giants and cloud technology companies have seized the IoT market through mergers and acquisitions; Amazon AWS launched the Internet of Things cloud service; cross-industry new IoT front line to build a common Internet of Things standard; countries compete to develop 5G, Create the backbone of the billion-level Internet of Things application.

Internet of Things Industry Trend 1

After Cisco acquired the cloud Internet of Things company Jasper in March this year, it immediately set up the Internet of Things department and even further established the new IoT business group to promote the Cisco Global Internet of Things business.

The Internet of Things wave has been burning for 2 years, and the huge market opportunities that have been detonated have not only allowed large-scale technology or network manufacturers to invest in it. For example, Google and Amazon have greatly accelerated their layout last year, and they have also urged traditional hardware companies to adjust their existing products. Strategy and start embracing the Internet of Things. IBM first fired the first shot. In March last year, it first re-established the IoT R&D department with a $3 billion. Later, it also led the head of the IBM high-end server product line, which was responsible for promoting the Internet of Things business. Two months later, another PC manufacturer, Dell, followed up with the establishment of the Internet of Things department and also launched the first IoT gateway product, which officially incorporated the Internet of Things into its own product line.

Coincidentally, Cisco also established the Internet of Things cloud department in March this year, and even further established a new business group for the Internet of Things, together with Networking, Cloud Services & Platforms, Security, and listed as the future of Cisco. The four core strategies for IT business development. In addition to Cisco, Japanese Electronics Hitachi subsequently announced the establishment of the HitachiInsight Group business group in its Hitachi Data Systems subsidiary, which will be responsible for driving Hitachi's global IoT business in the future. From Cisco to Hitachi's big move to the Internet of Things, even at the expense of turning the Internet of Things into one of the company's most important key core businesses, it also reflects the traditional hardware manufacturers, not just the Internet of Things as a product. It has even begun to see it as an important key to driving the company's future operations.

In addition to the old hardware giants who began to embrace the Internet of Things, large chip suppliers that had been struggling in the IoT market earlier, have recently begun to accelerate the deployment of emerging IoT industries by adopting mergers and acquisitions. Qualcomm bought the British Bluetooth chip maker CSR for $2.4 billion last August to strengthen the link between connected cars and wearable hardware. Mobile chip giant ARM acquired Apical in embedded computer vision in May this year. And technology-based technology companies to speed up the market for IoT applications such as connected vehicles and robots.

As for NXP, which was originally a major supplier of automotive chips, it acquired the Freescale, a car chip manufacturer, for $10 billion last year, and jumped into a giant in the automotive semiconductor industry. In May of this year, NXP launched their first self-driving car computing platform, BlueBox, to actively expand the territory of the self-driving car market. Even recently, semiconductor chip giant Intel has also acquired its self-driving software vendor Itseez from Russia in order to continue to strengthen its competitiveness in the unmanned car market. In addition, it also acquired another Italian Internet of Things Solair in May this year. Hope to strengthen Intel's product lineup in the Industrial IoT through their cloud IoT data analytics technology.

However, in addition to competition among manufacturers, more and more cross-border or peer alliances have emerged in the past two years, especially in the application of self-driving cars. For example, BMW and Toyota Motor Corporation have cooperated with Microsoft to develop connected cars. Service, while Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd. is looking for Cisco to jointly develop connected car technology.

As for, Ford is working with IBM to build a smart mobile experimental platform to find out more efficient ways to drive cars through data analysis. Even Google recently joined hands with Chrysler to build a self-driving car. The system of Chrysler cars on the road.

Google

Home IoT launches lightweight OS

In May 2015, Google released the lightweight version of the Internet of Things OS Brillo built on Android, which only retains the underlying Android core, reduces unnecessary hardware configuration, and supports ARM, Intel x86 and MIPS hardware. Home IoT hardware can communicate with each other. After releasing the developer preview and Weave API at the end of last year, early this year, there were smart products with Brillo, such as ASUS smart plugs, home gateways, etc. This year's I/O conference introduced Google Home, a home smart product from Brillo.

Intel

Chip giant also released the entire IoT platform architecture

Semiconductor chip giant Intel vowed to build an IoT ecosystem that can take advantage of IoT hardware, networks and the cloud, so at the end of last year, they released a new IoT platform reference architecture that provides enterprises with an Internet of Things experiment, development and business. New deployments to help streamline the development of IoT hardware, and a trustworthy analytics platform that combines multiple open source big data analytics tools such as Hadoop and Spark. The platform also offers three Quark chips designed by Intel for the Internet of Things, as well as Wind River's IoT cloud operating system and cloud suite.

Microsoft

Industrial-grade IoT gateways support Windows 10

Microsoft officially launched the official version of the Windows 10 IoT Core in August last year, which developers can download and install on Raspberry Pi 2, Raspberry Pi 3 and Arduino for free to develop Windows 10 IoT applications. At the Build 2016 Developer Conference in April, Microsoft introduced a higher-end 64-bit Pro version for the Windows 10 IoT Core, and also announced a technical collaboration with Dell to enable the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Edition to begin supporting industrial products. Networked gateways are installed and used, such as gateway products such as the Dell Edge Gateway 5100, which means that the Windows 10 Internet of Things has begun to enter the market for industrial IoT devices.
