Intel Corporation has reportedly revealed the company's expanding portfolio of computing and communications assets for the smallest of devices to the most complex mobile networks. The product portfolio is designed to compete in today’s mobile ecosystem and shape the next era of computing, the Internet of Things (IoT).
At an Intel news conference, Intel Corporation President Renee James introduced two Intel Atom processors, an LTE-Advanced communications platform, and announced multiyear agreements with Lenovo, ASUS and Foxconn to expand the availability of Intel-based mobile devices. With the explosion of mobile and connected devices in the IoT, she also highlighted how Intel is re-architecting the network infrastructure to reduce costs and make it easier for service providers to deliver improved customer experiences and new services by extracting business value from the vast amounts of data.
“The continued growth of the mobile ecosystem depends on solving tough computing challenges -- unlocking data’s potential while securely and reliably connecting billions of devices with leading edge computing and communications technologies. Today, we are announcing leading communications products as well as new computing platforms. As a result, Intel is well-positioned to shape the future of mobile computing and the Internet of Things,” said James.
In an effort to bring the benefits of a standards-based approach to communications networks consistent with Intel’s work in data centers and the cloud, James announced expanded relationships with Alcatel-Lucent and Cisco to accelerate network function virtualization (NFV) and software defined network (SDN) technologies. By working to optimize these technologies on IA, service providers will be offered a faster and more flexible network that enables them to quickly scale new services.
James also highlighted numerous Intel-based trials with global operators, including China Mobile, SK Telecom and Telefonica that are demonstrating the benefits of NFV and SDN for enabling personalized and contextually aware services, improving asset utilization, and simplifying installations and upgrades.
