What’s Holding Back The IoT
By Ernest Worthman - 09 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 2

There is a new generation of heterogeneous devices and component modules being developed for the IoT. This, in turn, could create an exploding market within certain sectors of the hardware industry. Exact size predictions for this market vary greatly, but all of the firms making these predictions agree on one thing—it's going to be very big. A new report by Yole Developpement pegs the mar... » read more

Security Risks Grow Worse

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss security issues for connected devices with Marc Canel, vice president of security at [getentity id="22186" comment="ARM"]; Paul Kocher, president and chief scientist for the Cryptography Research division of [getentity id="22671" e_name="Rambus"]; Michael Poitner, global segment marketing manager at [getentity id="22499" e_name="NXP"]; Felix Baum, h... » read more

Short-Range, Low-Power Sensors
By Ernest Worthman - 09 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 1

Over the last 10 years the world has done a remarkably good job of connecting the global wireless world. This is partly because of visionaries, partly because of marketers, and partly just because we can, but mostly because of convenience. We now never need be to be off the wide-area interconnected highway. The last decade has radically changed the way we live. The smartphone and its cousin, th... » read more

The Next Level Of Chip Security
By Ernest Worthman - 09 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

As we move to that magic year, 2020, which is commonly being recognized as the year when the IoT is supposed to be in full bloom, the security issues just keep coming. The rate of cyber exploits continue to ramp up daily. Yet there seems to be just as much complacency about the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] as there is about the Internet of today. It seems we are becoming desensi... » read more

Smarter Cars, But How Smart?
By Ernest Worthman - 09 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

With the emergence of the Internet of Things, smart cars are beginning to garner more attention — the kind that comes with real R&D dollars, market development plans and cost analyses for future commercialization. Smart cars are different than connected cars, which are simply smartphones on wheels. Until now, the focus on intelligence in automobiles has largely been on driver assist and in... » read more

More Things Are Critical Systems
By Ed Sperling - 10 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

Defining a critical system used to be pretty obvious. It was something that could affect the health and safety of people, such as the chip inside a pacemaker or insulin pump, a car's braking system or an airplane's guidance system. But as more devices are connected together, that definition is changing and expanding. More devices are now considered critical, such as a connected baby monitor ... » read more

IoT Turns To Dust
By Ernest Worthman - 10 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

The current thinking for the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] is that a single or bi-directional interface will be attached to just about everything. It will be an amalgamation of hardware and software that will sense whatever we want, assess it anyway we want, and send it anywhere we want—or where someone else wants. "There has probably never been a more exciting time to work ... » read more

Rethinking Big Data
By Ernest Worthman - 10 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

You have to marvel at the sheer genius of what modern day, edge-of-the envelope marketing schemes can accomplish. For example, terms such as the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"], (also referred to as the Cloud of Things, or the Internet of Everything, or even Internet of Interconnect) have become sexy, interesting, exciting camouflage layers over the rather dull M2M industry. The... » read more

LP Spread-Spectrum Sensors
By Ernest Worthman - 10 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

It is pretty much an accepted fact that the common denominator of the IoT will be intelligent sensors. Virtually everything and everyone will be “sensed.” These sensors will collect an immense amount of data, and that data will have to be funneled for analysis at some point. Much of this will occur in real time, but some of it can be stored and forwarded, or collected on demand. Tethered... » read more

Move Over AI, Here Comes AmI
By Ernest Worthman - 10 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

Artificial Intelligence has received lots of attention, but a new term called Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is emerging as a cornerstone of the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"]. The term is a relatively unknown, but not all that new. AmI dates back 16 years—just a few years after the Internet saw its first widespread commercial adoption—when the concept first emerged as a collec... » read more
