Will People Pay More?
By Ed Sperling - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

Smart devices can do many things. Some of them are useful, some are questionable, and some are just plain ridiculous. But the real issue for semiconductor and system companies isn't whether people will use them. It's whether they will work long enough and well enough to warrant the extra cost. The reality is that very few people use all of the features in any device, or even within a single ... » read more

Inside Mesh Networks
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

Mesh networks could revolutionize communications in the future. Independent of the Internet we know today, wireless mesh networks (WMN) allow both ad-hoc and fixed wireless “nodes” to form a communications net that can become a very powerful information sharing hub. The idea is that all devices, both user-controlled and autonomous, would be open to act as relay points for the transmissio... » read more

Things You Can Control While Sleeping
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

Because the IoE is just a rather vague and fluid concept right now, it is easy for just about anyone to define all or part of it in almost any fashion they desire. But some things do have a basis. For example, if you take a look at the consumer trends, as has been the case for years, you can glimpse what is happening in various segments throughout the IoE and, to some degree, where they are hea... » read more

Counting By The Billions
By Ed Sperling - 29 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 1

The semiconductor industry has been on cruise control since the advent of the personal computer. By 2002, a total of 1 billion PCs had been shipped, according to Gartner, and by 2008 that number had doubled. But that was nothing compared with the smartphone. In 2014 alone, Gartner reported sales of 1.2 billion smartphones. Both of those markets will remain healthy for years to come. Despite... » read more

Bigger Standards Required
By Ed Sperling - 15 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

One of the great benefits of standards in the semiconductor world is that they make it easier to move forward and speed up technologies and markets—but not always. They are revered by semiconductor companies, despite the fact that they sometimes outlive their usefulness and need to be folded into other standards, and they are recognized as the best way to get things done across a complex, far... » read more

Security In 2.5D
By Ed Sperling - 12 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 2

The long-anticipated move to 2.5D and fan-outs is raising some familiar questions about security. Will multiple chips combined in an advanced package be as secure as SoCs where everything is integrated on the same die? The answer isn't a simple yes or no. Put in perspective, all chips are vulnerable to [getkc id="253" kc_name="side channel attacks"], hacking of memory—a risk that increases... » read more

The Next Killer Apps
By Ed Sperling - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 1

The search is on for the next killer applications that will turn connected devices into the next smart phone or PC. Billions of dollars are being poured into startups and established companies, creating a spectrum of new ideas they're trying to bring to market. Whether those investments pay off with a single application, or whether they lead to new ideas that fuse together multiple markets, ... » read more

The Quantum IoE
By Ernest Worthman - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

The principle of quantum communication (QC) is that it can transfer a quantum state between locations. The significance of that cannot be overstated. This is what we can look to for the delivery of the super-secure communications networks of the future. This kind of secure communications is made to order for the IoE (and, of course, many other platforms). No matter how simple or complex the ... » read more

The Rise Of Dynamic Networks
By Ernest Worthman - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

The Internet of the future, and particularly the [getkc id="260" comment="Internet of Everything"], will be interlaced with millions if not billions of intelligent, dynamic, self-organizing networks. These networks will be full of elements that are capable of autonomic self-registration across these multitudes of networks. It is one thing to put up a security perimeter when you know who the... » read more

Security Made Easier
By Ernest Worthman - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance was formed in July 2012 to address the lack of interoperability among strong authentication devices as well as the problems users face with creating and remembering multiple usernames and passwords. The FIDO Alliance’s mission is to change the landscape of authentication by eliminating the reliance on passwords. This is accomplished by developing speci... » read more
