The Internet of Things has dominated the top stories on the Embedded Blog during August. While some of the data is conflicting, from 2.5bn wireless sensors by 2021 (2.5bn wireless IoT sensors to ship by 2021), the main interest was in the higher figures for 27bn just a few years later. This will generate 2Zbytes of data a year, which will put a tremendous strain on data centre infrastructure. Hence the situation that a lot of that data is going to waste and new ways to use that data automatically (such as AI - Startup aims to bring artificial intelligence to IoT nodes...) are increasingly important.
The ways of providing and protecting that data, from new LTE-M and LTE-NB cellular modules and ways to encrypt the data are also proving essential reading. The encryption side is booming with new co-processors emerging from a number of providers as well as new ways to provide two factor authentication.
The top five stories in August were:
