Building the IoT: Samsung AI, device analytics, embedded Cat M1

1. Samsung plans to add voice-activated artificial intelligence to wearables and home appliances. The world's largest smartphone maker is also a major manufacturer of TV sets, washing machines, dishwashers and vacuum cleaners, as well as of course its Gear line of smart watches. Samsung is also the maker of the ill-fated Note 7 phablet, the subject of one of the largest consumer device recalls in history. The Korean conglomerate is trying to move mindshare away from that disaster and on to its next product launch, the Galaxy S8, which Samsung says will include a digital assistant that will respond to voice commands. If that sounds familiar, it's because Samsung is the owner of an AI company run by some of the creators of Siri. The unit is called Viv Labs, and Samsung apparently wants it to bring artificial intelligence and speech recognition to a wide range of connected devices.

2. Devices, not networks, are the root of many problems users experience with mobile applications, and this trend will accelerate as the number of connected devices multiplies. Savvy software developers are addressing this problem with user application analytics technology. Nyansa, a Palo Alto company started by veterans of Google, Meraki, Aruba and Ruckus Wireless, said today that it's extending its cloud-based network analytics to give users more insight at the device level.

"What we really focus on is the client side of things, the access network, because that's where a big percentage of the problems are today," said Nyansa CTO and co-founder Anand Srinivas. "What's needed is a solution that measures and correlates real users' application-layer performance at the exact same time as their wireless and network performance. What's also needed are machine learning algorithms run on this data that surface exactly what's going on without a network engineer having to manually interpret mountains of raw, out of context data." Nyansa's Voyance+ service captures an application-specific view of the user experience and analyzes that in the context of data characterizing Wi-Fi access, the local area network, the user device and the Internet link.
