The Accelerator as the First Internet of Things Ecosystem

Episode 52

It’s a symbiotic relationship – the big corporation, in search for that innovative edge, and the small startup, in search for support to get their ideas off the ground. Both have what the other needs – desperately. Coming together they form one type of ecosystem. To be players, all IoT companies – big and small – must be part of one or more ecosystems.

Trending Cows and Selecting Embedded IoT Chipsets

Jane A — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:00:50 +0000

MCU architectures come in so many flavors that there will be a peripheral set to match any sensor you choose. Real decision making at the embedded chipset level is driven by the application. You choose hardware based on its capability to support software. The characteristics of your chipset’s memory, computing power and comms will come from answering a 101 questions, all answered by your IoT application’s requirements.

Watch this video (or read the transcript) to get expert advice from James Stansberry, his best practices and today’s trends in IoT embedded chipsets

A Ubiquity of Wireless Connections and Options

Jane A — Thu, 28 May 2015 07:30:45 +0000

In addition to the technical considerations and price, compare the development support system in place for each manufacturer when shopping for your embedded wireless solution. How mature is the software development kit (SDK) and hardware platform? How broad is the ecosystem of development partners and is there an online forum or will you get 1:1 attention?

Watch this video (or read the transcript) to hear Brian Bedrosian explain best practices and trends in the embedded wireless market and the ecosystem needed to be successful

The AllSeen Alliance – Not Homebound for Long

Jane A — Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:15:21 +0000

Episode 13

The AllSeen Alliance gets a lot of press but it’s still mostly misunderstood. For most its name is synonymous with home IoT but that’s only the first step in a broader vision that encompasses consumer, commercial, industrial and infrastructure IoT. It’s currently focused on home automation because that’s the current focus of its members. But this will change over time.

The IIC – Because the Industrial Internet is Bigger than Any One Company

Jane A — Tue, 24 Mar 2015 12:35:21 +0000

Episode 12

No one company is big enough to provide an end-to-end industrial Internet of Things solution. Realizing this, ATT, Cisco, GE, IBM and Intel came together to found the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC). The end game however is not technology, but business – to understand what is needed to put together solutions that not only work well, but sell well.
Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) with Lynne Canavan, Stephen Mellor and Brian Dalgetty as we discuss the IIC

It Takes a Village… and the Right Business Model

Bruce Sinclair — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 09:48:59 +0000

GE considers the opportunity of extracting value from industrial Internet data so great that it has changed big parts of its business to take advantage of it. At the heart of this transformation are business models more directly aligned with their customers’ business objectives and a new, more inclusive partnership approach to delivering value.

Watch this video (or read the transcript) to hear Dave Bartlett describe why an IoT platform and ecosystem are required to provide the collaborative framework needed to enable multiple companies to jointly provide the outcomes that customers find most valuable

From Embedded Operating Systems to Software Ecosystems

Bruce Sinclair — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 16:30:23 +0000

Episode 6

In broad strokes, the software required for an IoT deployment can be grouped into four classes: embedded software for sensors and gateways, networking or the IoT platform (communication, rules and sometimes interpretation) data management & analytics and of course the IoT application.

Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) with Zach Shelby as we discuss the first class, embedded software for sensors or more specifically sensor operating systems and the inevitable evolution of these disparate classes into an IoT software ecosystem
