The coming of the "Internet of Things" heralds a huge growth in new services aimed at enhancing our lives through the ever greater coupling of the physical, social and digital worlds. In what will undoubtedly be a highly competitive market, it will be essential for developers to understand the best technology building blocks available to them and make the right technology choices to ensure both technical and commercial success.
With MIPI Alliance’s focus on delivering specifications for mobile devices that enable state-of-the-art embedded electronic designs that are low complexity, low power and highly efficient, MIPI has a wide portfolio of specifications that are highly relevant and beneficial for use within IoT devices.
This presentation will explain the advantages of using MIPI specifications within IoT devices and provide an overview of the MIPI specifications that are most relevant to the IoT market, explaining the use and applicability of each specification within an IoT context. We'll also explore a variety of IoT vertical industries, highlighting how MIPI specifications can enhance the design of many different types of IoT devices within each vertical sector.
