| IoT Solutions | | | Jacobs ion?
Jacobs' vendor agnostic architecture was designed and implemented with the goal of an open Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) solution. ion? adapts and applies technology that enables our customers to gain efficiencies and savings, through connecting our client's sites then collecting and displaying data in a unified interface. This provides custom insights to our clients, empowering them to ensure safety and respond quickly. The Jacobs ion? solution has been operationally deployed for over a decade and enables innovative approaches for data accuracy, data timeliness, and safety ― greatly improving information flow and productivity. | There is the potential for 50 billion connected devices by 2020. Google Cloud Platform gives you the tools to scale connections, gather and make sense of data, and provide the reliable customer experiences that hardware devices require. With the potential for so many devices, companies need a network infrastructure that can sustain potentially millions of concurrent connections across a global user base. Google's Backbone Network has thousands of miles of fiber optic cables, uses advanced software-defined networking and has edge caching services to deliver fast, consistent and scalable performance. Many small devices are still capable of producing very large volumes of data. It is only through the insight of sufficiently powerful data analysis tools that these trickles of device data are turned into floods of valuable information. Google Cloud Platform is building a state-of-the-art suite of big data tools. | In this connected world, the proliferation of Intelligent Devices has created a market for entirely new solutions based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. With the ever-increasing amount of data that is inherent in an IoT world, the key to gaining real business value is effective communication among all elements of the architecture. Oracle’s IoT platform delivers an integrated, secure, comprehensive platform for the entire IoT architecture across all vertical markets. Its IoT solution allows companies to gain new data-driven insights and drive actions from IoT data, enabling their businesses to deliver innovative new services faster than their competitors, with less risk. | The Internet of Things (IoT) is already changing the way consumers are able to control their surroundings. From thermostats and lighting to remote access and home automation, many are already managing comfort, running diagnostics, and receiving alerts about their homes and businesses from devices that can interact seamlessly with mobile clients, cloud services and other IoT devices.
Marvell’s EZ-Connect platform is helping to rapidly bringing innovative devices to the fast growing market. Built on Marvell’s silicon, coupled with industry standards certifications and leading Kinoma software, it is widely considered the most complete, industry-leading connectivity portfolio, capable of enabling more efficient time-to-market IoT designs with hardware and software solutions. Global customers currently are building, creating and implementing with Marvell’s EZ-Connect platform for several markets including home automation, Wearables, automotive and industrial. | Whilst still in its infancy, the Internet of Things (IoT) is in part evolving by using Bluetooth Smart as an underpinning technology. Bluetooth Smart is rapidly being adopted for short-range wireless connectivity between compact, coin cell-powered accessories using RF sensors and smartphone ‘hubs’ supporting associated software applications. The ARM mbed initiative is a collaborative industry project that plans to nurture the IoT. The initiative delivers tools and fundamental open-source hardware and software building blocks for the rapid development of ARM-based devices.
The collaboration between Nordic Semiconductor and ARM has resulted in Nordic’s nRF51822 System-on-Chip (SoC) which combines a Bluetooth v4.1-compliant 2.4GHz multiprotocol radio with an ARM Cortex-M0 CPU core on a single chip optimized for ultra-low power operation. The nRF51822 Series offers developers the ideal platform for designing the wirelessly-connected sensors that will help turn the IoT from a technological concept into reality as the mechanisms to transfer IP data from sensor nodes begin to appear. | | |
