By Alexandru Voica , May. 26, 2016 –
MIPS CPUs power a lot of IoT devices; and thanks to the introduction of development kits such as the Creator Ci40 IoT-in-a-box concept, we are likely to see a whole new range of projects appearing soon.
In this article, I focus on two consumer electronics products that represent the present and two dev boards that will power the future.
Zubie + In-Car Wi-Fi and LTE hotspot
The premise behind Zubie's in-car hotspot is simple: get a connected car without buying a new one.
The In-Car Wi-Fi device allows users to connect their cars to Verizon's LTE network by using a MIPS-powered Sequans 4G chipset and then distribute the signal inside the vehicle through a Wi-Fi connection. In addition, users can monitor the car's location anytime and anywhere, check-in with your friends and family while keeping your hands-free, prevent and diagnose unexpected problems before you get stranded.
