Hello, my IoT friends. This is the IoT Evolution World Week in Review, and here in New England it looks like we’re coming out of Second Winter (Thanks, April). Hope you’ve been enjoying spring across the rest of the Northern Hemisphere. For all you Southern Hemisphere readers, I’m sorry. It’s only getting more wintery by the day. We’ll get to the news in just a bit, but first a quick reminder about the IoT Evolution Expo in Las Vegas, July 11 to 14. If you want to get in on it as a sponsor or exhibitor, now’s the time, so hook up with Matt Gleeson, our Biz Dev maestro.
And now, the news:
Intel has been powering the IoT for years now, and the company isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. In two announcements this week, the processor giant dropped a purchase of YOGITECH, a semiconductor safety and standards company, and, through its Wind River subsidiary (itself yet another recent acquisition), Arynga, a developer of over-the-air (OTA) technology.
ORBCOMM, a global provider of IoT solutions, has announced a deal with Brown Integrated Logistics to implement its solar-powered asset tracking solution in Brown’s dry van trailers. The solution provides wireless connectivity through proprietary hardware and a web-based reporting platform.
In guest posts this week, Prat Moghe, founder and CEO, Cazena, gave us 10 recommendations for keeping Big Data safe in the cloud and David Friedman, CEO and co-founder, Ayla Networks spun us a tale of the future of the IoT, and how it has to learn from its past.
This week on the IoT Time Podcast, I used out 20th episode to get all pep talk on you, wax a bit philosophical about the potential of the IoT, and issue a call to action to the industry. Also, I show my true nerd colors with both Star Trek and Terminator references.
There’s plenty more to read, listen to and watch, so visit us on IoT Evolution World for all the IoT news, my friends. Keep the IoT Evolution Expo in Fort Lauderdale in your calendar. Also, please get in touch with us when you have stories. As always, if you have questions, comments, input or abuse, please send it to our editorial director, Ken Briodagh at [email protected] or on Twitter @KenBriodagh. Stay warm, my friends.
