Intel sets up network equipment Department to expand the Internet of Things

"Sadie Network News" November 7, according to foreign media reports, Intel has set up a new network equipment department, hoping to share the feast brought by the Internet of things. The so-called IoT refers to all kinds of electronic devices connected to the Internet, to form a larger networking system. Now the Internet of things has become one of the latest development trends in the technology industry. The rise of the Internet of things will greatly promote the growth of new electronic products and software demand. Intel hopes to have a piece of the emerging internet of things through the newly established business unit. Intel attaches great importance to this new department called the "IoT Solutions Group" (Internet of Things FX group) because it does not want to miss out on future technology trends, so the general manager of the Department, Dougdaves (Doug Davis) will report directly to CEO Blainco (Brian Krzanich). Davis said in Tuesday: "He wants to give a higher degree of attention to the business, and he will help us grow the business and pay enough attention to it." "Intel leads the PC chip industry but is too slow to expand on mobile markets such as smartphones and tablets," he said. He has been working at Intel for 30 years and has made the development of mobile chips the company's top priority since he became chief executive. In September this year, the division announced that Intel was developing a new series of ultra-low and ultra-low power microchips, mainly for wearable devices such as smart watches and smart wrist bands, which could also be used in biomedical applications in the future. The new business unit brings together Intel's existing chip business and Wind River subsidiaries specializing in commercial and industrial equipment, which mainly sell software for commercial and industrial equipment. "We're going to combine two already well developed businesses, and we want to accelerate the pace of development," Davis said. This will be the core of the corporate networking strategy. ”
