After missing out on smartphones and tablets Intel refuses to be left behind in Internet of Things (IoT), forming the IoT Solutions Group to push IoT implementations across the industry.
The newly-formed divisions unites the Intelligent Systems Group with the Wind River subsidiary, bringing together the intelligent systems hardware, software, services and platform elements under a single organisation led by VP Doug Davis.
"[CEO Brian Crzanich] is saying, "I want a higher level of focus on this to help us grow it and put the level of attention on it that it deserves,"" Davis tells Reuters. "We're pulling together a couple of pieces that are already doing well and we want to accelerate those efforts."
Intel recently outlined its IoT ambitions with a pair of product lines-- the ultra low-power Quark X1000 SoC series and the 64-bit Atom E3800 family, designed for use in "smart" devices and intelligent gateway solutions acting as interfaces between legacy devices and the cloud.
