<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The IoT trend has a strong relationship with the MCU market, as the small nodes used for connectivity, sensor hubs to collect and store data are primarily based on MCU platforms.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The MCU market related to IoT was worth $1.7bn in 2014 and expected to reach $2.8bn in 2019.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Also the industry’s challenge is to quantify this new opportunity, since IoT is a conceptual trend, not a device, application or even a new feature.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Four versions of basic techniques were tried, all using a touch screen phone as an interface to enter a password, which the phone will send to the IoT device:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Holding the phone’s screen against the IoT device and transferring the parameters to a photo cell by flashing the phone screen.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Use of a USB cable for parameters transfer between the phone and IoT device</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Using a 3.5mm audio jack cable between the phone's headphone socket and the IoT device</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Using the phone to create a temporary ad-hoc Wi-Fi network which the IoT joins automatically.</span></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">IBM has announced an expansion of its IoT platform called IBM IoT Foundation through a collaboration with ARM mbed-enabled devices connecting to cloud and analytics services.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This fusion of IBM with ARM will allow data from devices such as industrial appliances, weather sensors and wearable monitoring devices to be gathered, analyzed and acted upon accordingly.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">IBM also announced the first in a series of IBM Cloud-based, industry-specific IoT services with IoT for Electronics. The service will enable electronics manufacturers to gather data from the deployed sensors that can be combined with other data for real-time analysis.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">IoT Foundation helps to makes it simple to derive value from Internet of Things (IoT) devices.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It includes:</span></div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Analytics tools capable of dealing with large quantities of fast-moving data.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Access to IBM Bluemix, IBM’s Platform-as-a-Service, that is capable of handling the immense flow of data and provide anytime access for decision makers.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Security systems capable of helping organizations protect IoT data as rigorously as they do their own confidential financial, IP and strategy information.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The integration between IBM and ARM will allow devices powered by ARM mbed-enabled chips to automatically register with the IBM IoT Foundation platform and connect with services of IBM Analytics. This unifies the ARM mbed IoT Device Platform and the IBM IoT Foundation at the point where information gathered from the sensors in any connected device is transferred to the cloud for analysis.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The IoT technology enables the delivery of actionable events to control equipment or provide users with alerts or other information. For example, the triggering of an alarm message on a washing machine to ask the owner to confirm a breakdown engineer appointment if a fault is detected.</span></div>
