According to foreign media reports, Apple and Google have a smartphone operating system market, Qualcomm is the dominant player in the mobile phone baseband chip market, and Amazon is the king of online retail. But the Internet of Things field is completely different. There are no established standards in the emerging Internet of Things field, let alone the question of who is the king.
Brain behind the Internet of Things
Semiconductor company Broadcom has just released a software development kit and device WICED for $20 (including RMB 123), which includes five sensors for testing IoT devices. WICED configures Broadcom's BCM20737 chip, and Broadcom hopes that BCM20737 will become an indispensable part of the Internet of Things. WICED integrates electronic compasses, barometers and altimeters, humidity and temperature sensors, motion-sensitive gyroscopes and accelerometers.
Broadcom's BCM20737 chip supports Apple's iBeacon indoor location tracking technology, A4WP wireless charging technology, and has its own on-chip encryption and decryption security technology. The Broadcom BCM20737 has two of the most important features of the Internet of Things: small size and low price.
However, Intel has also made significant progress in the field of Internet of Things. In the second quarter of this year, the revenue of the Internet of Things business was 539 million US dollars (about 3.312 billion yuan), surpassing the mobile business of 51 million US dollars (about 313 million yuan). . The Quark processor and the Edison board are an important part of the Intel IoT program.
Intel leverages its chip technology advantages to implement smart city projects in San Jose. Earlier this year, Intel and other companies jointly established the Industrial Internet Consorium (IU) to develop the Internet of Things network and security standards.
To avoid being marginalized in the Internet of Things, IBM recently announced a new processor called TrueNorth. A developer at TrueNorth said, "TrueNorth may become the brain of the Internet of Things and will change the user's mobile experience." The US Department of Defense's Advanced Planning and Research Bureau has invested $53 million (about 326 million yuan) in the TrueNorth project. IBM hopes that TrueNorth will be a driving force for the development of the Internet of Things, but the commercialization of TrueNorth may take several years.
Although IBM, Broadcom and Intel are rapidly turning to the Internet of Things, NVIDIA, Qualcomm and other vendors have not stagnated, and there is still plenty of room for growth in the IoT space, making new leaders emerge.
Connect everything
One of the biggest leaders in machine-to-machine communication is Sierra Wireless. Tesla's Model S car uses Sierra Wireless' 3G connectivity module to connect to AT&T's mobile network. Nespresso's coffee machines, Sprint's mobile hotspots, mobile payment devices, and energy monitoring systems all use Sierra Wireless' 3G connectivity modules. Despite its notorious reputation, Sierra Wireless accounts for approximately 34% of the global embedded handset M2M (machine-machine) business.
The Internet of Things does not only include embedded chips, sensors and connectivity modules. General Electric is one of the so-called industrial Internet's biggest supporters, and has a great influence in the Internet of Things industry.
GE's Predix software monitors networked "objects," such as aircraft engines, wind turbines, and medical equipment, to ensure that equipment operates properly and efficiently. Predix software provides access to sensors and connectivity modules, enabling companies to monitor the operation of their equipment, collect data, and even “notify†possible problems before the problem occurs.
General Electric said that if the Internet of Things can save aircraft 1% of aviation fuel, it can save 15 billion US dollars (about 92.2 billion yuan) per year. If the efficiency of the medical system is increased by 1%, it will save 63 billion US dollars (about 387.1 billion yuan).
General Electric is not the only technology giant to focus on the Internet of Things. Cisco provides cloud data storage, smart city management, and IoT software management services for the oil and gas, mining, power and transportation industries. In addition to its own projects, Cisco has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Internet of Things startups.
Cisco is also a member of Intel's and General Electric-led Industrial IoT Alliance and predicts that 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020.
Open field
The companies mentioned above are just a few representatives of the larger IoT industry. Apple and Google are pushing the development of the Internet of Things in their way, mainly home automation. However, there is still more room for growth in the Internet of Things field, which can be used by more companies. Standardization will help promote the popularity of the Internet of Things. At present, the fragmentation of the Internet of Things is very serious and not safe enough. With the development of the Internet of Things, the newly joined companies will “improve the Internet of Things†and further promote its development.
