The IoT is evolving, from a sprawl of raw data sources into focused instances of processed information. Putting intelligence at the edge is creating demand for even more performance using less power and with lower latency. Understanding this, designers and manufacturers are developing and delivering the solutions needed to support doing more with less. Ultra-low power solutions are enabling battery-less designs to be deployed all around the network, each one producing valuable and actionable intelligence.
There are already billions of always-on devices constantly generating and transmitting data over a wider network of networks, feeding cloud-based servers and contributing to Big Data. Power efficiency is relevant at every juncture but the potential to reduce dependency on power is now a reality at the very edge.
