Modern day use cases for “IoT-like” applications date back to the earliest days of manned space flight for monitoring astronaut vital signs and shuttle telemetry - mission critical data points transmitted across a dedicated network. Beyond dedicated and specialised networks, technology once leveraging PSTN has now converged on the global IP network.

At the Intel Developer Conference this week, we announced the latest version of our IoT Device Management Platform, Helix Device Cloud. To mark the occasion, several groups created real-life use case demonstrations of Device Cloud in action. The wide range of examples allowed viewers to really relate it to their own IoT development and envision how they could best leverage Device Cloud to take advantage of the potential value made possible by bet...

In the last few years, fitness tracking technology has been increasingly popular, with a range of devices available to help you become healthier, improve your fitness performance and ultimately live longer. These devices use non-invasive, easy to use sensors that connect directly to your smartphone or computer, giving you instant results to track your progress.

In the enterprise networking space, the IoT is gradually becoming mainstream. According to IT industry body NASSCOM, the global IoT business is expected to touch $300bn by 2020. And according to Grand View Research, the global enterprise networking market is expected to reach $64.6bn in revenue by 2024. With this transformation, it is interesting to note how the future of connected enterprise would be like.

Machine learning is useful in our everyday lives, in applications from smartphone assistants to image recognition and translation, but it could also help deal with some of the world’s most challenging physical problems such as energy consumption. While much has been done to stem the growth of energy use, large commercial and industrial systems like data centres consume a lot of energy and there is much more that can be done, especially give...

With two high profile acquisitions seemingly coming to a conclusion during this month, we might well be looking at an increase in M&A activity. Was a strong Dollar responsible for Avnet’s offer for Farnell outbidding the Swiss company Datwyler? Why has no one from ARM come forward to welcome the news that a company strapped for cash has paid over the odds for one of the principal jewels in Europe’s technology crown? Only those clo...

We are very pleased to introduce the latest version of Wind River Helix Device Cloud, which further solidifies Wind River and Intel leadership in the IoT. By Santhosh Nair.

  Connectivity technologies have advanced rapidly and led to the beginnings of the IoT, with billions of smart, connected sensors, actuators and systems all rigged up to enable the real‑time data processing and analytics that let you to take better control of what’s around you.

Last year, at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek reported their security research on a Jeep Cherokee. They were able to remotely break into the system and take control of steering, brakes and other safety critical systems on the vehicle, as well as systems not normally considered safety critical such as the infotainment unit. By Tim Radzykewycz.

The best engineers and manufacturers are always looking for ways to improve their services in the dynamic business. Many search for secure applications that can successfully increase efficiency and reduce costs. As a solution, they depend on cloud technology. There are countless advantages of using the cloud for both sectors, such as global access that enforces transparency and enhances collaboration.
