Editor's Notes

  • #5 Key Points: “devices” means more than mobile phones There are currently more connected devices than people on the planet Windows Embedded powers a number of electronics you interface with throughout the day When you think devices, understandably most people think about their phone. The connectivity and computing power in a smartphone enables you to carry the equivalent of a number of other devices in your pocket: camera, gps, dvd player, cd player, radio, game console . . . But thinking of “devices” as just mobile phones and tablets is short sighted. In our everyday lives we are surrounded by sensors and computing devices that are connected to the Internet: From devices that can tweet when a potted plant needs water to the FitBit or Nike Fuel sensor you wear to monitor your own activities, to the smart lightbulbs and interactive T-shirts to medical devices that help save lives daily. When you’re in a sports arena, chances are most of the signs you see are powered by Windows Embeded. The number of devices connected to the Internet exceeded the number of people on earth in 2008. It is estimated that by 2020 that number will hit 50 Billion. Landlines were passed by mobiles in 2002 (peaking at 1.3B). By 2009, 4.7B mobile subscribers. (Meeker/ International Telecomunications Union 2012) 400M mobile phones in China. 25M only read books on their phone. Smartphones are considered “mission-critical” tools that 70% won’t leave home without (Interactive Advertising Bureau, July 2012) By 2016, 70% of tablets used for work will be purchased by the employees themselves (Forrester, February 2012). Source: During 2008, the number of things connected to the internet exceeded the number of people on earth. By 2020 there will be 50 Billion.

  • #10 So let’s look at how data moves through this scenario and the places it can be gathered, accessed, and acted upon. [***CLICK***] [1] was the original embedded device that collects & stores data [***CLICK***] [2] connectivity allowed the embedded device to extend to enterprise back-end [***CLICK***] [3 & 4] leverage device & business data to create intelligence to derive business insights [***CLICK***] [5] operational changes drives device management updates, creating interdependent system The “value” of this system is much greater than the value of the device alone, to extend the intelligent system between enterprise back-end and devices
