Intel to progress IoT to wide-scale deployment

This is the view of Rod O’Shea, Intel’s director for EMEA and IoT who discussed the burgeoning technology paradigm with Clean Energy Pipeline. 

IoT, which involves the interconnection of devices in the cloud, is a crucial consideration in the energy sector, where the more precise our knowledge of energy flows is, the better our ability to control our energy usage.

‘One of the things Intel is working on in IoT is working through the hype around [it],’ said O’Shea. ‘IoT is currently top of the hype curve. We are making sure that this leads to real things being deployed.’

Intel has invested significantly in customer engagement and innovation, particularly in the field of IoT. The company set up an IoT Ignition Lab in the UK in mid-2014 to support the development of IoT projects in the field of smart cities.

As a provider of advanced integrated circuit and digital technology products for the computing and communications industries, the firm is well placed to leverage its knowledge and experience to help kickstart innovation in the IoT space.
