Intel has introduced a new Internet of Things (IoT) platform reference architecture with processors and free cloud services.
The products include new Intel Quark processors for IoT, free operating systems with a cloud suite from Wind River, and analytics capabilities.
The new reference architecture reduces complexity and demonstrates how smart devices will connect and share trusted data to the cloud, the company said.
Intel’s Quark processors for IoT offer low-power silicon for intelligent things. The Intel Quark SE SoC and Intel Quark microcontroller D1000 and D2000 provide extended temperature for resource-heavy environments with long life reliability.
Users get real-time insights from complex sensor data through SoC’s sensor hub and pattern matching technology.
The cloud suite from Wind River accelerates development of apps, with the developers able to start building apps within 10 minutes.
It features free cloud-connected multi-architecture operating systems, Wind River Rocket and Wind River Pulsar Linux, and a cloud suite of SaaS products.
Intel IoT group senior vice-president Doug Davis said: "Intel is making it easier for our customers to scale from things to cloud with new Intel Quark processors for IoT and Wind River’s free cloud-connected OS for microcontrollers."
The company’s Trusted Analytics Platform integrates with the Intel IoT Platform reference architecture for data management, protocol abstraction, workload distribution and compute. It works in a range of industries including health care, retail and industrial.
