Micro-Mobility Market Potential Widens
By Jeff Dorsch - 13 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

The mobility market is beginning to splinter into more segments as advanced technology gets applied to devices such as e-bikes, e-scooters, and even tiny e-vehicles with three or four wheels. This doesn't mean that existing pieces of the mobility market are falling off. The automotive electronics market is booming as carmakers race to build more assisted and ultimately autonomous features in... » read more

Week in Review: IoT, Security, Auto
By Jeff Dorsch - 08 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

Internet of Things McKinsey & Company identified 10 top trends in the Internet of Things. They include: IoT is a business opportunity, not just a tech opportunity; disciplined execution across multiple use cases is the path to value; and IoT is gradually enabling more subscription business models, but consumers are resistant. Louis Columbus of IQMS provides some IoT data points and id... » read more

IoT Merging Into Data-Driven Design
By Ed Sperling and Kevin Fogarty - 10 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things is becoming more difficult to define and utilize for an effective business strategy. While an increasing number devices send data to the cloud or some local server, so much data is being generated and moved around that new strategies are being developed to rethink what needs to be processed where. Back in 2013, when the IoT concept really began taking off, connectivity... » read more

AI’s Long-Term Impact
By Jeff Dorsch - 12 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence technology will have a significant impact on the world’s economy in the months and years ahead, the McKinsey Global Institute forecasts in a new report. Certain companies and some countries will greatly benefit in the new era of AI, leaving others behind, the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Co. predicts. The key takeaway points of the report: ... » read more

Security Holes In Machine Learning And AI
By Ed Sperling - 09 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

Machine learning and AI developers are starting to examine the integrity of training data, which in some cases will be used to train millions or even billions of devices. But this is the beginning of what will become a mammoth effort, because today no one is quite sure how that training data can be corrupted, or what to do about it if it is corrupted. Machine learning, deep learning and arti... » read more

Toward IIoT Security Standards
By Kevin Fogarty - 07 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Security is a high priority within Industrial IoT projects, but it is advancing like the rest of the industry—inconsistently, with big gaps between the leaders and everyone else. That isn't unique to one or two industrial segments. It applies to all of them, and even to slices within particularly industries. "There is some confusion about security because it's not just the IT issues," s... » read more

Challenges At The Edge
By Kevin Fogarty - 03 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

By Kevin Fogarty and Ed Sperling Edge computing is inching toward the mainstream as the tech industry begins grappling with the fact that far too much data will be generated by sensors to send everything back to the cloud for processing. The initial idea behind the IoT/IIoT, as well as other connected devices, was that simple sensors would relay raw data to the cloud for processing throug... » read more

Mesh Networking Grows For ICs
By Kevin Fogarty - 04 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Mesh networks were invented to create rich interaction among groups of almost-unrelated peers, but now they are showing up in everything from advanced chip packages to IoT networks. The flexibility of a many-to-many peer-connection model made the mesh approach a favorite for two-dimensional network-on-a-chip topologies, to the point where they began to supplant data-bus connections during th... » read more

IIoT Security Threat Rising
By Kevin Fogarty - 14 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

The rapid growth of the Industrial Internet of Things is raising questions about just how secure these systems are today, how to improve security, and who exactly should be responsible for that. These issues are interlaced with a shift in where a growing volume of data gets processed, the cost and speed of moving large amounts of data, and the increasing frequency and cost of attacks. "Di... » read more

Imperfect Silicon, Near-Perfect Security
By Kevin Fogarty - 07 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

Some chipmakers, under pressure to add security to rapidly growing numbers of IoT devices, have rediscovered a "fingerprinting" technique used primarily as an anti-counterfeiting measure. [getkc id="227" kc_name="Physically unclonable functions"] (PUFs) are used to assign a unique identification number based on inconsistencies in the speed with which current causes a series of logic gates to... » read more
