Arm Releases IoT Predictions for 2019

The end of the year brings predictions galore, and Arm has jumped on this bandwagon with its view on what it thinks will happen in the internet of things (IoT) in 2019. It also carried out a consumer survey to find out what end users think about IoT, machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and 5G.Here are Arm's IoT predictions:Intelligent home goes mainstream. There’ll be more availability of IoT home products available to consumers from mainstream household brands, expanding past leading consumer brands and whitegoods to encompass mainstream lighting, irrigation, heating/cooling, and other household names — bringing increased automation and efficiency to everyday tasks.Personalized delivery. Delivery options will start to see increasing flexibility. The combination of smartphones with GPS positioning data and the increased deployment of low-cost sensors to provide visibility and tracking of assets could allow delivery to customers anywhere, not just at specified hardcoded locations like a home or office.Better health-care service. Deployment of sensors and better connectivity in hospitals will mean that hospital personnel will have real-time visibility into the location of their equipment and orders, bringing a better quality of service to patients and reducing the time to find critical medical equipment.Smart cities look to improve revenue streams and citizen engagement. Drivers for smart cities will mature from just cost reductions (e.g., LED lights or better waste management) to better citizen engagement and more revenue streams (e.g., red-light violation detection, Wi-Fi hotspot, 5G services, smart towers, crime detection/analysis, information broadcast) with the help of advanced technologies like computer vision and ML.Smart buildings use more tech for efficiencies. Smart buildings will increasingly move toward space optimization, object detection for safety/security, wayfinding, and asset tracking with the help of advanced technologies like locationing, computer vision, and ML.In addition to the predictions, an Arm-sponsored global survey of 2,000 consumers (by research firm Northstar) found the following consumer insight on their perspectives on 2018 technology trends and 2019 consumer expectations.The last 12 months have seen a general increase in technology adoption. A global average of 66% of the respondents claimed that technology had become “more a part of my life” in 2018, and only 3% said that it was “less important” than a year ago.The rapidly rising quantity and quality of smart technology products is likely to drive a credit card spree this holiday. More than half of the respondents (54%) expect to spend more on tech-based gifts. Almost one in five (18%) said that they would spend “a lot more than last year,” and 36% are looking to spend “a bit more.”The public also foresees AI spreading rapidly in the next 12 months. Ninety-two percent of the respondents expect AI to be more widespread than it is currently.The main reason to “love” (26%) or “like” (37%) smart technology in cities is “convenience.” Twenty percent of the respondents appreciate what it is doing for their city experience. Many (15%) also cited “quality of life,” with one in 10 (11%) stating that they feel that a smart technology upgrade is the “modern/progressive” thing to do.Opinion is split over whether companies are taking improvements in data security and privacy seriously. Though less than 10% feel that companies are making no effort at all, the majority (70%) of respondents want to see this effort increase in the future.

Gartner Identifies Top 10 Strategic IoT Technologies and Trends, AI Ranks NO.1

Gartner, Inc. highlighted the top strategic Internet of Things (IoT) technology trends that will drive digital business innovation from 2018 through 2023.“The IoT will continue to deliver new opportunities for digital business innovation for the next decade, many of which will be enabled by new or improved technologies,” said Nick Jones, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner. “CIOs who master innovative IoT trends have the opportunity to lead digital innovation in their business.”In addition, CIOs should ensure they have the necessary skills and partners to support key emerging IoT trends and technologies, as, by 2023, the average CIO will be responsible for more than three times as many endpoints as this year.To help CIOs lead their businesses, discover IoT opportunities and make IoT projects a success, Gartner shortlisted the 10 most strategic IoT technologies and trends that will enable new revenue streams and business models, as well as new experiences and relationships:Trend No. 1: Artificial Intelligence (AI)Gartner forecasts that 14.2 billion connected things will be in use in 2019, and that the total will reach 25 billion by 2021, producing immense volume of data. “Data is the fuel that powers the IoT and the organization’s ability to derive meaning from it will define their long term success,” said Mr. Jones. “AI will be applied to a wide range of IoT information, including video, still images, speech, network traffic activity and sensor data.”The technology landscape for AI is complex and will remain so through 2023, with many IT vendors investing heavily in AI, variants of AI coexisting, and new AI-based tolls and services emerging. Despite this complexity, it will be possible to achieve good results with AI in a wide range of IoT situations. As a result, CIOs must build an organization with the tools and skills to exploit AI in their IoT strategy.Trend No. 2: Social, Legal and Ethical IoTAs the IoT matures and becomes more widely deployed, a wide range of social, legal and ethical issues will grow in importance. These include ownership of data and the deductions made from it; algorithmic bias; privacy; and compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation.“Successful deployment of an IoT solution demands that it’s not just technically effective but also socially acceptable,” said Mr. Jones. “CIOs must, therefore, educate themselves and their staff in this area, and consider forming groups, such as ethics councils, to review corporate strategy. CIOs should also consider having key algorithms and AI systems reviewed by external consultancies to identify potential bias.”Trend No. 3: Infonomics and Data BrokingLast year’s Gartner survey of IoT projects showed 35 percent of respondents were selling or planning to sell data collected by their products and services. The theory of infonomics takes this monetization of data further by seeing it as a strategic business asset to be recorded in the company accounts. By 2023, the buying and selling of IoT data will become an essential part of many IoT systems. CIOs must educate their organizations on the risks and opportunities related to data broking in order to set the IT policies required in this area and to advise other parts of the organization.Trend No. 4: The Shift from Intelligent Edge to Intelligent MeshThe shift from centralized and cloud to edge architectures is well under way in the IoT space. However, this is not the end point because the neat set of layers associated with edge architecture will evolve to a more unstructured architecture comprising of a wide range of “things” and services connected in a dynamic mesh. These mesh architectures will enable more flexible, intelligent and responsive IoT systems — although often at the cost of additional complexities. CIOs must prepare for mesh architectures’ impact on IT infrastructure, skills and sourcing.Trend No. 5: IoT GovernanceAs the IoT continues to expand, the need for a governance framework that ensures appropriate behavior in the creation, storage, use and deletion of information related to IoT projects will become increasingly important. Governance ranges from simple technical tasks such as device audits and firmware updates to more complex issues such as the control of devices and the usage of the information they generate. CIOs must take on the role of educating their organizations on governance issues and in some cases invest in staff and technologies to tackle governance.Trend No. 6: Sensor InnovationThe sensor market will evolve continuously through 2023. New sensors will enable a wider range of situations and events to be detected, current sensors will fall in price to become more affordable or will be packaged in new ways to support new applications, and new algorithms will emerge to deduce more information from current sensor technologies. CIOs should ensure their teams are monitoring sensor innovations to identify those that might assist new opportunities and business innovation.Trend No. 7: Trusted Hardware and Operating SystemGartner surveys invariably show that security is the most significant area of technical concern for organizations deploying IoT systems. This is because organizations often don’t have control over the source and nature of the software and hardware being utilised in IoT initiatives. “However, by 2023, we expect to see the deployment of hardware and software combinations that together create more trustworthy and secure IoT systems,” said Mr. Jones. “We advise CIOs to collaborate with chief information security officers to ensure the right staff are involved in reviewing any decisions that involve purchasing IoT devices and embedded operating systems.”Trend 8: Novel IoT User ExperiencesThe IoT user experience (UX) covers a wide range of technologies and design techniques. It will be driven by four factors: new sensors, new algorithms, new experience architectures and context, and socially aware experiences. With an increasing number of interactions occurring with things that don’t have screens and keyboards, organizations’ UX designers will be required to use new technologies and adopt new perspectives if they want to create a superior UX that reduces friction, locks in users, and encourages usage and retention.Trend No. 9: Silicon Chip Innovation“Currently, most IoT endpoint devices use conventional processor chips, with low-power ARM architectures being particularly popular. However, traditional instruction sets and memory architectures aren’t well-suited to all the tasks that endpoints need to perform,” said Mr. Jones. “For example, the performance of deep neural networks (DNNs) is often limited by memory bandwidth, rather than processing power.”By 2023, it’s expected that new special-purpose chips will reduce the power consumption required to run a DNN, enabling new edge architectures and embedded DNN functions in low-power IoT endpoints. This will support new capabilities such as data analytics integrated with sensors, and speech recognition included in low cost battery-powered devices. CIOs are advised to take note of this trend as silicon chips enabling functions such as embedded AI will in turn enable organizations to create highly innovative products and services.Trend No. 10: New Wireless Networking Technologies for IoTIoT networking involves balancing a set of competing requirements, such as endpoint cost, power consumption, bandwidth, latency, connection density, operating cost, quality of service, and range. No single networking technology optimizes all of these and new IoT networking technologies will provide CIOs with additional choice and flexibility. In particular they should explore 5G, the forthcoming generation of low earth orbit satellites, and backscatter networks.

Intel, Arm to Collaborate on IoT

Intel and Arm announced a strategic partnership that aims to eliminate a major barrier to IoT deployment, reducing the complexity associated with the onboarding process for IoT devices and enabling customers to choose their onboarding systems without being locked into a single device architecture or single cloud provider’s provisioning method.The companies said that the partnership aims to extend the capability of Intel’s Secure Device Onboard onboarding service to include Arm devices. The collaboration will also enable Arm’s Pelion IoT Platform to onboard and manage x86 platforms in addition to Arm-based IoT devices and gateways, they said.Collaboration between the two most prevalent semiconductor architectures could be an important step toward reducing bottlenecks to the wide-scale deployment of IoT — lack of interoperability, standards, and common technologies.“Arm and Intel have a lot to gain by working together on IoT, and it’s good to see as the two of them hold many of the keys to widespread adoption,” said Patrick Moorhead, president and principal analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy, in an email exchange with EE Times.“Intel and Arm are simplifying one of IoT’s most complex and challenging barriers with regard to streamlining the manufacturing and security deployment workflows for IoT,” said Michela Menting, a director at ABI Research, in a public statement.Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research, said in an email exchange with EE Times that the collaboration appears to be more of an effort from Arm than Intel, arising from companies that Arm has acquired, which McGregor said he assumes were working with Intel or on Intel platforms previously.“In any case, this is good for developers looking to leverage different platforms and good for Arm to include the widest array of potential products,” he said.In a posting on Intel’s website, Lorie Wigle, a vice president of Intel’s software and services group and general manager of IoT security at Intel, said that lofty predictions about the impact of IoT — including Gartner’s assertion that there will be 1 trillion connected devices by 2035 — won’t come to pass without industry collaboration on more open and scalable methods to securely provision devices and data to the cloud.“For IoT to scale to a trillion devices in less than two decades, [the onboarding process for IoT devices] must be faster, safer, and more flexible,” wrote Wigle.“IoT requires a strong ecosystem of companies working together to deliver value, and one size does not fit all,” wrote Dipesh Patel, president of Arm’s IoT Services Group, in a separate posting on Arm’s website.

NXP’s Security-by-Design IoT Enters Google Cloud

NXP Semiconductors is bringing to edge devices for Google IoT Cloud the same level of security used in banking.The Dutch semiconductor vendor is unveiled Monday “a solution for secure, scalable connections of devices using NXP’s A71CH to Google IoT Cloud.”NXP calls its A71CH “a trust anchor,” because NXP pre-injects private device credentials into the A71CH for autonomous cloud onboarding and authentication, while public keys are delivered to the customer via a NXP web interface.By implementing its trust provisioning service “at the chip level,” Philippe Dubois, senior director and general manager of IoT security solutions at NXP, told EE Times, “Keys are never exposed to any party during the lifetime of a device.” This allows “offloading the cost of ownership and complexity of key management from OEMs,” according to NXP.‘Security by design’ made easy“Security by design” is a familiar mantra, but for a first-time IoT system designer, what does it exactly mean? What would it take to implement the rigorous security that appears to be demanded of IoT devices in recent days?This pressure applies, for example, to the development of connected industrial devices, sensor networks, IP cameras, smart home devices, home gateways and smart cities.Asked about traditional steps to bring security to IoT devices, Dubois laid out several paths.First, a manual provisioning process is often used in small deployment. For example, there is the “provisioning of devices with credentials done one by one,” he noted. However, this is not optimal, because “it’s not secure (manipulating key in plaintext) and lends itself to errors (human error),” said Dubois. Especially, “it is difficult to scale when more devices are needed… impossible for deployment of millions of devices.”A second option is an “in-house provisioning system” for large deployment.Dubois explained: “Some OEMs invest on a costly manufacturing line for secure provisioning, to ensure keys are kept safe, and credentials are injected in a trusted environment, in a facility with security features like tightly controlled access, careful personnel screening, and secure IT systems that protect against cyberattacks and theft of credentials. This is what is called PKI infrastructure.”For small and medium deployment, the cost vs. revenue balance makes this unprofitable, according to Dubois. PKI infrastructure “has a very high cost and is limited only to large deployment," he said. China factorThird, presumably, one could provision via contract manufacturer (CM). This is an option for a majority of OEMs. Dubois explained that some OEMs choose to provision devices at their CM. But in this case, the OEM has no “grantee” on the trust of his credentials. It’s because “keys may be stolen at CM and communicated to malicious parties, or infrastructure at CM may be weak, especially when the CM is in regions like China,” he added.Dubois noted that this system poses major inconveniences. For example, if an OEM is linked to a CM through the provisioning system, there’s little flexibility to move to another CM. It’s because this change would require the OEM to invest in a new connection to a new CM provisioning system.“NXP Secure Trust Provisioning service, implemented at the chip level,” makes sense, according to Dubois. “With the A71CH, designers can safely connect to IoT clouds and services without writing security code or exposing keys for applications,” he noted.Competitive landscapeAre there other chip vendors offering similar solutions with pre-injected credentials?Dubois told us that Microchip has one. However, NXP’s A71CH, “allows high customization for regions with different requirement,” he stressed. “That’s what differentiates us.”Aside from the collaboration with Google IoT Cloud which NXP has announced Monday, NXP’s A71CH already supports Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud, and IBM Watson IoT.Dubois added, “NXP also focuses on the China market.” It has “developed in parallel a purpose-built solution security solution for service providers there including Baidu and Alibaba.” Hence, NXP’s claim for scalability.He claimed in a statement, “Our solution aims to solve scalability and complexity issues commonly associated with securing and managing edge devices. We’re happy to see Google Cloud embrace and encourage security in next-generation devices.”NXP explained that injection of device credentials can be made at NXP secure manufacturing facilities or through NXP approved programming partners.
