Intelligent Connected Devices Cultivate New Services
The world of intelligent connected devices and sensors is quickly evolving and rapidly expanding. John Gantz of IDC forecasts 15 billion devices will be communicating over the network by the year 2015, and woven into the fabric of our lives and businesses. Some of these devices will recognize us and adapt to our requirements for comfort, safety, streamlined commerce, entertainment, education, resource conservation, operational efficiency, and personal well-being.
There will be adaptive and ‘smart’ environments, from office buildings to retail stores, that will enable innovative usage models and vastly enhanced user experiences. Central to this transition are the connected services facilitated by the sharing of information from M2M (machine-to-machine) technology. Consequently, embedded devices will require much more interoperability and capability, prompting device manufacturers to select open computing platforms with power-efficient performance.

A favorable combination of market conditions, environmental awareness, government regulation, and general society demands are stimulating the demand for intelligent services that improve lifestyle and business efficiency.

Intel is driving this change with significant investment in compute and connectivity technologies. At the center of intelligent devices are intelligent microprocessors that provide the right performance, energy efficiency, and flexibility to run your applications today and in the future. Not only will Intel architecture drive a robust and flexible infrastructure it will also allow you to design innovative connected devices and services for the next-generation smart world.

Intel Corp., provides products, solutions, and support to the vast M2M industry, creating a fast and trusted path to differentiated products and a time-to-market advantage that can make you even more competitive.

Intel Corporation Innovation. Transforming the way we live, work, and play.
