Broadcom将其WICED无线连接技术扩展到物联网领域
Dean Takahashi, Dec. 08, 2015 –
Broadcom said today it is introducing its most advanced WICED wireless chip technology for the Internet of Things.
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the idea of making everyday objects "smarter" and connected to the Internet. Gartner estimates that IoT product and service suppliers will generate incremental revenue exceeding $300 billion in 2020. And Broadcom is one of the chip makers that wants to be the key supplier for IoT chips.
Through WICED (wireless Internet connectivity for embedded devices), Broadcom is putting wireless and processing technology into a low-cost module that can fit into a wide variety of IoT products, from smart kitchen thermometers to automated heating devices. Today, the company is adding its enhanced low-power (ELP) multi-protocol Bluetooth/802.15.4 wireless systems into the WICED portfolio.
