Intel's new IoT Platform

[Guest]

 Intel Corporation today announced a new Intel® IoT Platform reference architecture and new hardware and software products as part of its effort to build out one of the most comprehensive offerings for the Internet of Things (IoT) marketplace. The platform includes two reference architectures and a portfolio of products from Intel and its ecosystem to address the IoT opportunity. The products include new Intel® Quark™ processors for IoT, free and simple operating systems with a comprehensive cloud suite from Wind River, and analytics capabilities, all designed to build and secure smart and connected solutions from things to the cloud.

 

The new Intel IoT Platform reference architecture for smart and connected things is focused on enabling the broad Intel ecosystem to simply develop, secure and integrate smart things. The platform provides a  blueprint for delivering innovations to market faster by reducing complexity and defining how smart devices will securely connect and share trusted data to the cloud. The first company to announce IoT solutions based on the new Intel IoT Platform is SAP*, which will develop its IoT enterprise end-to-end solutions utilizing the Intel platform along with its SAP HANA Cloud Platform*.

 

Intel’s addition of Intel Quark processors for IoT provides low-power silicon for intelligent things. The Intel® Quark™ SE SoC  and the  Intel® Quark™ microcontroller D1000 and D2000 feature powerful processing in an energy-conscious envelope. The new products are in an ideal package for IoT, offering extended temperature for demanding environments and have long life reliability for peace of mind. The Intel Quark SE SoC for IoT offers an integrated sensor hub as well as pattern matching technology to deliver real-time insights from complex sensor data at the very edge of IoT.

 

The value of IoT is truly realized when new insights are revealed from the massive volume of data generated by smart and connected things. A key ingredient to the new Intel IoT Platform is the Trusted Analytics Platform (TAP), which helps make data actionable and can be integrated in an end-to-end IoT solution. Designed for developers and data scientists, TAP is the ideal platform for a range of industries such as healthcare, retail and industrial. It integrates with the Intel IoT Platform reference architecture for data management, protocol abstraction, workload distribution and compute.

 

Levi Strauss & Co. can now use TAP to gain near real-time inventory insights that help improve accuracy in data collection to deliver an enhanced in-store experience to shoppers. Honeywell is using TAP in its connected worker solution for industrial safety to improve real-time decision-making.

The new IoT platform of Intel will surely strike companies and data analysts as an opportunity to make the processes they have quicker and more efficient 

These products will be the small objects we know now and transforming them into "smarter" products that value the consumer and retailer

I'm interested in seeing what companies are looking forward to seeing the new platform laid out by Intel

It may be good for certain applications, but they never mentioned the power consumption. So I expect it to be fairly high.

As a reference: To runn of a coin cell you have to maintain <30mW for 24/7 and ~100mW peak. Get a low power microcontroller, a BTLE modul and a sensor and you wil see you can run this at <20mW.

Nit sute how they are doing with x86 in this region.

I've heard the Windows 10 IOT platform is buggy as all hell. That's why the MS Band 2 doesn't use it.

Heumm. no. That is not the reason.

The CPU in the Microsoft Band 2 is too slow for Windows 10 IoT, and doesn't meat the required CPU technology to run it.

 

Also the article has nothing to do with Windows 10 IoT.

IoT refers to embedded system that has access to the web, and do things. Hence the name Internet of Things.

Wait WTF. I never realized the requirements were that high.

 

Requires 1.4GHz dual core 64 bit arm cpu

 

60GB of Storage (I'm completely lost on this one!)

You need 8GB of storage capacity drive for Windows 10 IoT (that is if you want free space after install)
