The Internet of things has been gradually into the life of modern, analysts estimate that the number of connection device at the end of 2015 will reach 5 billion units, up 30% over 2014. By 2020, the number of estimated to reach 40 billion units, far more than the population of the earth.
At the heart of the IoT is made to everything possible connection technology. And after 2015, and in the future, what are the notable trend emerging wired technology?
Use 802.11 a/AD wi-fi Internet and streaming content
The first is through the two new wireless technology to provide Internet and streaming function - 5 GHZ frequency ac 802.11 with 60 GHZ frequency band 802.11 AD.
As consumers streaming content more and more, so the stability of the wireless Internet connection becomes more important. 802.11 ac wi-fi technology provides many new attachment function that cannot be done two years ago, and is equivalent to the transmission rate of Ethernet, the multimedia content from mobile phones to digital television, fast synchronization information and media content, and reduce the signal attenuation probability and break line, in order to improve the wi-fi use experience and expand transmission distance.
If collocation 2 x2 multiple input and output (MIMO) transmission function, 802.11 ac wi-fi function will become more powerful. 2 x2 MIMO can through the two antennas at the same time receive or send two data streaming, not only can double transfer rate, can shorten the download time. Efficiency makes smartphones and laptops and tablet computer connection technology, which is used to do.
802.11 the AD on the indoor communication have excellent performance. 802.11 the magic of the AD is 60 GHZ frequencies, it USES the broad transmission rate can reach 7 gigabit per second. 802.11 AD wi-fi can provide 12 feet of transmission range, very suitable for indoor end-to-end applications, such as mobile devices and wireless communication between the television.
Through the combination of ac 802.11 and 802.11 AD three mode solution, according to the distance and applied to select the best connection technology, consumers can at a very fast speed of surfing the Internet and streaming data, obtained fluent experience at any time.
Using GNSS search and navigation with the sensor central technology
Wearable devices have a wide variety of changes, motion tracking, bracelets and watches, but can only collect useful information devices to be meaningful. Because the data accuracy is very important, such as running mileage or burning calories, so if only rely on GPS or GNSS receiver to calculate the running path or speed, the results might be mistakes.
This year we will see, the integration of a variety of technology application, to make more accurate data tracking and management. Through the sensor central, GNSS, Bluetooth Smart and wi-fi technology, today's wearable device can provide more accurate information, at the same time not too thirst for power.
Through a variety of technical materials can help determine the runner was obtained in treadmills used indoor or outdoor, device can also be dynamic management of these technologies, to save electricity, the optimal user experience.
Using magnetic resonance charging charging at any time
Mentions only transmit data using wireless technology, if only half done. Today's American families per charge device number is as high as 10, wires, dense. Wireless charging can let users do not need to use wire can help power equipment charging, never get rid of the bondage of the wire. Although wireless charging technology is already a long time, until it from the first generation of induction to the resonance of the second generation of technical evolution evolved into the mainstream, because now users can charge the battery at the same time help several device.
Resonant type wireless charging technology only a transmitting antenna to support multiple receivers, and through the use of Bluetooth Smart technology communication wireless power control system, and can transmit power through the non-metallic surface. So even if again small, headphones or wearable devices, for example, can be flexibly with pad to communicate with each other.
Think about the implications for retailers and consumers will have what? The household furniture, coffee shops, airports, restaurants to the cinema, wireless charging stations will sprang up, let the consumer get the real 'with filling the box' experience.
Using NFC payment and matching device
Close communication (NFC) technology can make two device matching by touching or sharing information. This technology not only significant influence on the development of action to pay, and in other consumer applications rapidly gaining favour, because it can match the IoT technology, provide a more personalized experience, especially the application of automation and networking in the family car.
The growth momentum of IoT is to all device inside the room into the concept of an ecosystem. NFC touch the attachment function can simplify the setting of the smart phones and other devices processes, including TV, portable speakers or car system. Users no longer can use through the setting of heavy and complicated process.
According to the latest analysis report, more and more consumers feel the benefits of action to pay, plus the enterprise widely used NFC wireless card reader, so many mobile devices have a built-in NFC technology, and as a standard.
Using Wave 2 wi-fi and Bluetooth Smart control
In the era of IoT, control with the application of a dime a dozen, and 802.11 ac Wave 2 wi-fi and Bluetooth Smart will be an important technology of the behind the scenes. From industrial automation to household energy and medical application of these technologies will greatly improve the efficiency of management.
802.11 ac Wave 2 promoted wi-fi technology performance standards, made a number of wi-fi devices wired at the same time, so a router or gateway can support more devices at the same time, in response to different data and video transmission requirements. Ultra-low power of Bluetooth Smart device can through to the same gateway connection to the Internet, the transmission of information security to the cloud.
After analyzing these data, will be collated into useful and the information data that can be put into action, let the device or activities of the management to achieve higher efficiency. Through the analysis data continues to improve operations, will be able to play a surprising benefits.
