At the Intel Developer Conference this week, we announced the latest version of our IoT Device Management Platform, Helix Device Cloud. To mark the occasion, several groups created real-life use case demonstrations of Device Cloud in action. The wide range of examples allowed viewers to really relate it to their own IoT development and envision how they could best leverage Device Cloud to take advantage of the potential value made possible by bet...

In the enterprise networking space, the IoT is gradually becoming mainstream. According to IT industry body NASSCOM, the global IoT business is expected to touch $300bn by 2020. And according to Grand View Research, the global enterprise networking market is expected to reach $64.6bn in revenue by 2024. With this transformation, it is interesting to note how the future of connected enterprise would be like.

Wind River understands the appeal but also the pain-points of enabling open source software for your devices. We are here to help.

We are very pleased to introduce the latest version of Wind River Helix Device Cloud, which further solidifies Wind River and Intel leadership in the IoT. By Santhosh Nair.

Last year, at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek reported their security research on a Jeep Cherokee. They were able to remotely break into the system and take control of steering, brakes and other safety critical systems on the vehicle, as well as systems not normally considered safety critical such as the infotainment unit. By Tim Radzykewycz.

  Imagine you’re driving a two-ton SUV that’s travelling 70mph on the highway when suddenly, beyond your control, the air-conditioner fan starts blasting, the radio blares, windshield wipers whoosh back-and-forth and then the engine shuts down just as you approach a steep incline.

In the brave new world that the Internet of things (IoT) is shaping, Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) are quickly converging. Up until now, IT was seen as defining a restricted range of technologies pertaining to information processing, mainly generating and communicating data. OT was the domain of machinery, mainly physical equipment that was doing the heavy lifting on the factory floor.

A couple of weekends ago I took my mountain bike to a nearby park. Along the way, I noticed a larger than usual number of people young and old walking with their phones held out in front of them, smiling and focused on their screens. People playing Pokémon Go. By Mychal McCabe.

If you’re working on the deployment of virtual CPE solutions, you’ll want to check out the recently-published whitepaper Wind River and Intel Join Forces on Reference Design for Virtual Business Customer Premises Equipment. The paper describes the reference platform developed by Wind River in collaboration with members of the Intel Network Builders and Wind River Titanium Cloud ecosystems.

An industrial system can consist of hundreds of sensors, motors and controllers. When the physical infrastructure connecting them together is an Ethernet network, it takes special handling to make sure that sensor data and control commands reach their destinations in the network within a hard time limit, often within 1 or 2µs.

As more and more IoT services are being pushed to the edge of the network or onto smaller devices, the need of flexible, connected platforms is on the rise. Exciting open source technologies are brought forth to fill in the gap between embedded and enterprise platforms to service IoT needs and containerisation is an up-and-coming area for all manufacturers and service providers.

The automotive industry was born ­- and thrived - in the industrial age. Now automakers are poised to become leaders in the digital age as they build increasingly intelligent, connected vehicles for running ADAS, dynamic cockpit information systems and, ultimately, autonomous vehicles capabilities.

Recently I heard someone from Google talk about the next-gen Google Assistant, which promises to evolve search in new and incredible ways. The speaker talked about being able to stand in front of a public statue and simply say to your phone “Who made this?”, then your phone will be able to capture the contextual data of your location.

The Arynga software product line has been added to Wind River’s automotive portfolio. Arynga provides over-the-air (OTA) update software for automotive solutions, including both software-over-the-air (SOTA) and firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) update technologies. Arynga’s software and development team are now part of Wind River.

Helionix represents the latest technological evolution from the European helicopter manufacturer offering an unrivaled pilot assistance and intuitive human machine interface. The avionics system, which includes the certified H175 and H145 civilian rotorcrafts, significantly improves helicopter ma...

Wind River has announced that networking equipment manufacturer Raisecom is making the move to Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) by using Wind River Titanium Server to develop virtualised small cell gateways. As their entry into NFV, Raisecom is virtualising small cell gateway functions. Carriers employ small cells to offload mobile network data and use radio frequency more efficiently, helping them to extend service coverage and increase ne...

Wind River has introduced a new platform, Wind River Titanium Server CPE, that can speed the deployment of early Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) use cases such as virtualised customer premises equipment (vCPE). In addition, enhancements to the Titanium Server portfolio (Titanium Server and Titanium Server CPE) accelerate performance, improve scalability, and simplify commissioning. The Titanium Server portfolio comprises commercial NFV inf...

Wind River is collaborating with IBM to accelerate IoT deployments for industrial customers with new 'edge-to-cloud' recipes designed to simplify and accelerate the development of smart connected devices. The recipes guide customers on how to integrate services from IBM Watson IoT Cloud Platform with products from the Wind River Helix portfolio.

Wind River has introduced a breakthrough automotive software platform for the command center of the connected car, Wind River Helix Cockpit. Cockpit was designed from the ground up to meet the intersecting needs of the automotive and IoT landscapes.

Wind River is teaming with Ricardo to deliver solutions for autonomous driving. Wind River will be showcasing its automotive solutions at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) and holding a press conference unveiling its latest innovations on January 12th at 4:25 p.m. in the Concourse at the Cobo Center in Detroit.
