The Internet of Things has recently shown signs of a major outbreak, and according to survey data, by 2015, the core technology industry of the Internet of Things will reach 200 billion yuan, and related industries can reach 500 billion yuan. As a manufacturer who has been deeply cultivated in the industry for a long time, what is Freescale's strategy to share a piece of this 100 billion cake? In order to create the future world of this Internet of Everything, what products and solutions does Freescale have?
In the concept of the early physical network, it only covers the field of M2M, which is Machine to Machine. In recent years, its application has expanded to many fields, such as the interconnection of Machine to infrastructure, the interconnection of Machine to environment, and the interconnection of Machine to Human Health. This is where Freescale has focused on the past few years and has provided sensors, gateways and processors for connectivity.
We know that the Internet of Everything needs a front-end to collect data. This is the basis of the whole system. The sensor is the best choice for this front-end. What is Freescale's contribution as a well-known sensor manufacturer?
According to Freescale, the company has a complete line of MEMS motion sensors, offering a wide range of MEMS 3-axis accelerometers with digital interfaces, 3-axis magnetometers, 3-axis gyroscopes and a combination of sensors. Scal also has digital MEMS air pressure and height sensors, universal capacitive proximity and touch sensors, and radar proximity front-end detection devices. These devices enable a wide variety of sensing tests to receive environmental data.
For example, the high-performance ultra-low-power MMA8491 3-axis digital accelerometer can detect the movement and vibration of any spatial position of the IoT wireless terminal node to prevent theft and tampering, and the required power consumption is only nA. Level, which can meet the requirements of long-term monitoring without replacing the battery.
In addition to traditional sensors, Freescale offers intelligent sensor platform devices that embed 32-bit microprocessors for intelligent user-programmed data processing, free and open to users at Freescale. The Intelligent Sensor Platform Framework (ISF) software is based on writing your own code to implement unique applications.
With these high-performance front-end data collection, the next step is to process the collected data. Therefore, how to perform these processes efficiently and safely becomes the focus of the manufacturer, and each family has different processing methods.
Freescale believes that edge nodes, gateways, and most of the devices in this architecture use different technologies, tools, and development environments. They have different requirements and resources for network interconnection security, and even programming languages ​​are different. The main problems and challenges faced in the development of IoT products. The solution is a unified development platform. Java is one of the possible implementation methods that can be used throughout the system to unify all aspects of the Internet of Things.
Based on Freescale KineTIs microcontrollers, i.MX application processors or QorIQ communication processors, the all-in-one platform runs Oracle's Java software and integrates ARM's Sensinode software with standards based on 6LoWPAN, CoAP and OMA Lightweight M2M Technology that securely connects a large number of low-power edge node devices. The multiple technologies of Freescale, ARM, and Oracle work together to provide a secure end-to-end IoT gateway platform that accelerates and simplifies the deployment of many innovative IoT services.
Although companies such as Freescale have invested a lot in the Internet of Things, the improvement of technology meets more detailed requirements and is the guarantee for the further development of the Internet of Things. What technologies do Freescale think need to be improved in the Internet of Things?
Whether it's sensors, wireless interconnects, or controllers and their associated power consumption, there's room for improvement—towards smaller (size), lower (power), and stronger (performance). More importantly, through the “integrated box†platform, more end customers have the ability to develop “products†more quickly than “projects†to meet the needs of the end market. Especially in the field of sensors, the integration, intelligence, programmability and low power consumption enhancements are the direction for the future of the Internet of Things.
The era of the Internet of Everything is coming, are you ready?
