Taiwan Pavilion, centered on the theme "Innovative Smart Taiwan," welcomes visitors to MWC Shanghai 2016 taking place at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from June 29 to July 1.Taiwan ICT industry is transitioning from hardware manufacturing to value-oriented software services. To introduce achievements in driving the development of Taiwan ICT industry, Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) gathers businesses and organizations including Far Eastone Telecommunications, Z-Com, Melten, ADTC, VAS Creative, Linker Networks, iStaging and ARPlanet Digital Technology to jointly host exhibitions at the Taiwan Pavilion at MWC Shanghai.Taiwan Pavilion will feature exhibitions that demonstrate the Taiwan ICT supply chain's capabilities, encompassing complete small cell network infrastructure, management platforms for IoT applications and smart city services offered through collaborations by telecom service providers and local governments as well as the combination of system services and innovative applications in fields including smart living, education and entertainment, smart commerce and smart healthcare. The Taiwan Pavilion showcases enriched smart service experiences and advancements that drive valuable technological developments around the world.With the expansion of Big Data technologies and the IoT trend, worldwide industries are actively working on building smart cities with sustainable growth. As a result, smart city applications not only are focused on certain corners of the city but also are extending to the management of the entire city. This has also given rise to more and more demanding requirements on network architecture security and management. At Taiwan Pavilion, Taiwan's leading network communication equipment provider Z-Com will showcase 1.4 and 1.8GHz small cell base stations, in-vehicle LTE-Fi and smart antenna AP solutions meant to satisfy the special wireless network bandwidth needs for control and production operations by business organizations and government units that public safety, city management, emergency response, energy, transportation, healthcare and fire safety.

It is hoped the event will introduce more business and partnership opportunities for companies in Asia and the rest of the world as well as promote the sharing of smart city concept and vision.

The Internet of Things (IoT) inspired numerous application concepts, but very few were put into effective practice. The main culprit of this is due to the vast amount of different protocol standards scattered across the industry, creating communication barriers that greatly delay the development of IoT. Only by adopting an attitude towards open innovation can the protocol barriers be overcome.Early IoT applications were developed in silos. Businesses across different industries worked towards their own interest and goals; even businesses within the same industry operated within their own circle with their own preference of the type of industrial protocols and architecture to employ for IoT solutions. The lack of a horizontal collaboration platform gave rise to obstacles against technology exchange.Alex Perng, General Manager of NEXCOM's IoT Business Unit, points out that to push growth of IoT application development, developers need to collaborate with other field experts and proceed collectively, rather than individually. The ability to overcome industry barriers and share disparate resources horizontally from different sectors such as energy, petrochemical, transportation, lighting and building management, will enable the birth of more application possibilities.In order to unify disparate systems and communication standards, a complete system overhaul is required. But without a collaboration platform where hands-on experience and knowledge can be stored, copied and shared among different field experts, a great amount of effort is needed for the redesign. This creates higher barriers to entry for IoT application development. As such, many potential innovations have been buried away. In addition, since most current devices have yet to provide the connectivity envisioned by IoT, the development of IoT applications has been slow to come.Cross-Platform and Cross-Protocol Technology in IoT: Not Exactly Rocket SciencePerng believes that the key to clearing the obstacle for IoT application development is open innovation. Open innovation provides a pool of technology platforms, hardware components and software tools readily at disposal, allowing developers to quickly gather the resources required to bring their creative designs into fruition with the least amount of effort. More importantly, these resource tools are based on a unified standard as opposed to being industry-specific, and therefore are not bound to any proprietary protocol. Developers can rest assured that their products will not become orphaned.Fortunately, a few disruptive technology trends beneficial to the open innovation are on the rise, and the first of which is cross-platform IoT technology.As mentioned previously, due to the silo mentality and exclusive nature of early industry development, many industry-specific technologies were introduced. As a result, to overcome integration barriers and synchronize the different technologies across different fields, extra programming, such as using C, Java, PHP and SQL, was required. However, this was often a time-consuming process. In contrast, new open source tools such as Node-RED allow developers to develop applications in a browser with simple drag-and-drop actions and flowchart-like visuals. Additional programming is no longer needed to connect edge devices with cloud service platforms, effectively bridging the last mile connection of IoT applications.As cross-platform and cross-protocol technology gradually replace early proprietary solutions, not only this will accelerate cross-industry knowledge exchange, but also bring in new technology and perspective from different industries, instigating a new wave of disruptive innovation.Unified Standard and Open Source Tools: Creative Fuels to InnovationsThe second trend is the technological breakthrough of open platforms. Currently, there are hundred thousands of network protocols contending for the position as the mainstream IoT protocol. Any protocol incompatibility will prevent cross-industry knowledge exchange. As a result, protocol integration is inevitable. Furthermore, through open source code and emerging open innovation communities like GitHub, Intel Developer Zone and even NEXCOM's All IoT Cloud (www.alliotcloud.com), developers can quickly acquire IoT-relevant tools and resources, interact and exchange knowledge with experts across different fields, and leverage collective wisdom to overcome any IoT development obstacle previously encountered.Another trend worth noting is the IoT progression to a unified standard. An example of this is the formation of the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF). The OCF has created a unified and open standard to provide innovators and entrepreneurs infinite business opportunities, and to attract more people to join the ranks of IoT application development. In addition, with a unified standard and open source tools being made publicly available, the open innovation platform can enable more makers, system integrators and startups alike to swiftly enter the world of IoT.Take NEXCOM's All IoT Cloud for example, which is based on the creative ideas of open innovation. It aims to serve as an online IoT marketplace that provides various kinds of open source tools free to download, offering participants an easy way to acquire the needed tool kits for development, and ultimately becoming a B2B and O2O marketplace for IoT supply chain.To fast track IoT application development, developers need to collaborate with other field experts and proceed collectively rather than individually.

According to a Gartner report, the global communication market growth rate increased from 0.5% in 2013 to 2.9% in 2015 but is expected to gradually decline from 2016 to 2018. As such, how to discover a new "blue ocean" market, boost competiveness and lead industrial transformation and upgrade has become a new challenge for the Taiwan industry.The booming worldwide IoT trend has been driving the global communication industry to transition from hardware oriented development toward integrated systems combining hardware and software advancements. By 2020 the global IoT market value is expected to reach 30 times the present network industry value, resulting in US$1.9 trillion in economic value added. The world will see 30 to 50 billion connected devices or components, including a wide range of mobile devices and tablets as well as appliances, lamps and even robots.To help domestic businesses capture worldwide opportunities, with support from the Industrial Development Bureau under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Institute for Information Industry (III) and the Committee of Communications Industry Development under the Ministry of Economic Affairs jointly hosted the event, " Driving a Global Standard for IoT Interoperability," on May 31, featuring representatives from the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) who shared views on issues related to IoT standards and platforms with Taiwan-based vendors. One-on-one discussion sessions were also arranged between OCF representatives and Taiwan-based vendors to promote international collaboration and expand global business opportunities.A number of international organizations have been established to promote IoT standards, including Allseen led by Qualcomm, OIC headed by Intel, Thread guided by Google and Homekit introduced by Apple. Allseen was founded the earliest in 2013 and also had the most members. However, this year its founding members Qualcomm and Microsoft have simultaneously joining OIC, which has also changed its objectives and been renamed as Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF). Now OCF has a member base comparable to that of Allseen and is also the international IoT standards organization with the most Taiwan-based members.The Taiwan industry has been playing a critical role in the global IoT market thanks to its strong hardware manufacturing capabilities. At the event, representatives from OCF members including Intel, Microsoft, VIA and Allion elucidated the OCF core technology, Iotivity, by introducing platform architectures, tools and modules, product certifications and supply chain partnerships. In addition, through platform demonstrations, it was hoped more Taiwan vendors would participate in the collaboration to jointly pioneer a universal IoT standard. In the opening of the event, Dr. Hsien-Tang Ko, Director General of the Industry Development Augmentation Division (IDAD), III – one of the hosts of the event and also a main force driving cooperation between Taiwan-based businesses and international industrial organizations in recent years – pointed out the development of IoT in Taiwan has to be in line with international standards so that the industry can continue to grow and Taiwan's smart IoT R&D capabilities can maximize benefits.It should be noted this is the first OCF public event in Taiwan since its inauguration and also its first co-hosted official event in Asia. The fact that Dr. Matthew Perry, a member of the OCF board, made a special trip to participate in the event indicates OCF's determination to ally with Taiwan-based vendors and incorporate additional technical specs to expand itself to become the most dominant IoT standard in the world. Of course, Taiwan-based vendors have to get well prepared in order to grab a share of the booming yet highly competitive IoT market.Dr. Hsien-Tang Ko, director general of the industry development augmentation division, III, gives a welcome speech.Dr. Matthew Perry, an OCF board member, expresses OCF's intent to partner with Taiwan-based vendors to jointly lead a universal IoT standard.III poses for a picture with OCF representatives: (from left to right) David Tung from Allion, Dr. Shao-Wen Yang from Intel Lab, Lewis Kim from OCF, Dr. Hsien-Tang Ko from III, Dr. Matthew Perry from OCF, Dave Brenner from Intel, Richard Brown from VIA Technologies and Martin Hsu from Intel (China).

The USB Type-C specification was published by USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) in August 2014, and less than 18 months later, sleek new products have arrived on the market including smartphones, slim notebook PCs, tablets and more. This new cable and connector scheme is generating significant buzz and excitement from the expansive, global consumer market and is expected to make its way into high-volume shipments of mobile devices, laptops, 2-in-1 notebooks and other multimedia devices.USB-IF is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement and adoption of Universal Serial Bus (USB) technology. There are currently more than 800 member companies involved, 49 percent of which are from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. DigiTimes had the opportunity to interview USB-IF's President and Chief Operating Officer (COO), Mr. Jeff Ravencraft, as well as USB-IF's Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Mr. Rahman Ismail, to discuss the overall development of USB technology. DigiTimes also had the opportunity to view member demonstrations of USB technology at the USB Community pavilion booth at Computex 2016.USB Type-C cables and connectors fulfill the strong demands to upgrade video, audio, data transfer and power charging featuresTo address the demand of digital video, audio, data transfer and power charging requirements, USB-IF saw the need for a new, robust cable and connector. And so, this new specification was prepared by a panel of international experts and contributed on four main advantages:First, there is the performance jump. The USB Type-C cable is capable of supplying fast data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. There are two types of data transfer speeds: one up to 5 Gbps known as "SuperSpeed USB" and the other up to 10 Gbps called "SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps." The performance level is designed to scale upwards of 20Gpbs or 40Gbps in the future, but as Mr. Ravencraft highlighted, the 5Gbps speed is already more than enough to fulfill consumer demands for current multimedia applications.The second, is the single USB Type-C connector designed to connect all USB devices. The physical dimension of the USB-C connector is 8.4 mm x 2.6 mm, slightly bigger than the previous micro-USB connector. It is more robust and designed to handle at least 10,000 receptacle uses within its lifetime. Many of the newer platforms and devices are reaching a point where existing USB receptacles and plugs are inhibiting innovation, especially given the relatively large size and internal volume constraints of the USB Type-A and USB Type-B standard connectors. As a result, the USB Type-C slim and sleek connector was tailored to fit the thinner form factors and platforms used in mobile device product designs.The USB Type-C cable and connector is also reversible in nature. The pins are arranged in a mirrored configuration, with six different pairs in a full-featured cable assembly. There are four extra pins that serve functions of new USB features. The two sets of USB 2.0 differential pairs in the connector only connect to a single differential pair in standard USB 2.0 or full featured USB Type-C cables.The third advantage is the battery charging features. The USB Type-C connector introduces two new native charging options, but is also compatible with legacy charging options. USB Power Delivery (PD) is supported, but optional. With combined USB PD chipsets, it could supply up to 100W of continuous power flow, enough to power a refrigerator according to Mr. Ravencraft.The forth benefit is USB Type-C Alternate Modes. USB Type-C Alt Modes enable the multi-purposing of designated pins in the connector for alternate protocols such as DisplayPort, MHL, Thunderbolt or SATA. The beauty of Alt Modes is that it enables a USB Type-C host or device to support optional display or power charging capabilities. This benefits consumers and systems designers, as it only requires a single connector, thereby reducing costs and increasing system functionality.Ultra-high bandwidth video capabilities can be reached using USB Type-C Alt Modes. This is a great benefit for end users using a single USB Type-C to HDMI, DVI or VGA adapter or dock to connect their mobile devices to other displays.USB-IF promoting authentication to clear up the confuse of USB Type-CAlthough the reversible USB Type-C connectors and faster SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps technology are providing ease of use and performance benefits for consumers, there is confusion regarding what capabilities are included in each cable. For instance, some system makers have developed USB Type-C connectors using the USB 2.0 specification with slower data transfer speeds. Moreover, there are some OEMs producing non-compliant cables that do not follow the design instructions outlined in the USB Type-C Specification. As a result, they pose a risk to the functionality and interoperability of USB products.To address these issues, USB-IF has an active campaign to educate end users to "look for the logo" and to only purchase compliant products from trusted sources. Further, USB-IF released the USB Type-C Authentication Specification using a cryptographic-based authentication protocol for USB Type-C chargers and devices. Using this protocol, host systems can confirm the authenticity of a USB device, including capabilities and certification status. This verification process occurs simultaneously when a USB Type-C cable is plugged in the port and before compromising power or data can be transferred. This new authentication protocol empowers host systems to protect against non-compliant USB devices and to mitigate risks from maliciously embedded hardware or software in USB devices attempting to exploit a USB connection. According to Mr. Ravencraft, it will take about 8 to 12 months to see authentication taking place, but it is a big move for the USB technology ecosystem.USB-IF and IEC expanding cooperation to support USB Type-C connector in European market for power delivery and device charging applicationsUSB Power Delivery was developed with the vision of delivering universal power charging for consumers, as well as reducing electronic waste by offering a standardized alternative to proprietary chargers. Mr. Ravencraft mentioned this was another big move for USB-IF and the technology industry. Collectively working with the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC), USB-IF intends to expand international standards cooperation to include the USB Type-C specifications. This will be considered for inclusion in the newly approved IEC International Standard IEC 62680 series. This approach for ongoing standardization work is driven by the ultimate IEC's goals of increasing external power supply reusability, supporting consumer convenience, maintaining product reliability and safety. In addition, widespread adoption of the resulting international standards will help to reduce the poorly designed or manufactured aftermarket substitutes which may affect the operation of electronic devices in compliance with regulatory requirements."It is no surprise that Taiwan is the home of so many electronic device manufacturers and advanced technology providers, especially consider that 22 percent of USB-IF members are from this region," Mr. Ravencraft highlighted. "We truly appreciate all of the support and contributions that our Taiwanese members and technical experts have made to the development of USB applications over the years. It is exciting to see to see the growth and continued adoption of USB Type-C technology spawning in this region and we look forward to what future product generations bring."Jeff Ravencraft, USB-IF president and COO, and Rahman Ismail, USB-IF CTO at Computex 2016USB-IF promoting USB authentication that including Hi-Speed USB, SuperSpeed USB and SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps logos

Enterprise organizations aren't just talking about the possibilities of the Internet of Things (IoT) anymore, many now see it as core to their strategy. With the potential to streamline and deliver greater time and cost savings to a broad range of enterprise tasks, opportunities for IoT adoption are flourishing. It's encouraging to see so many industry-leading manufacturers, service providers, software and systems developers getting down to the hard work of making the vision IoT investments succeed.Things that were thought impossible in the past have become possible with the emergence of new services and products. In the 90's we saw the emergence of the Internet which redefined the way people consume and contributed, while in the 2000's, we see how a simplified user experience creates wonders in making consumption easier. In the next decade, we will see how a network of devices will further transform our everyday lives and make it smarter by establishing an intelligent web of processes, objects, information and people.Connected vehicles has been the most visible and familiar example of IoT technology. Indeed, the auto industry is on the verge of a revolution, and the driving force is the Internet.IoT as an essential ingredient of everyday lifeMediaTek, New Business Development and IoT, Vice President, JC HsuThe Internet has become an integral part of everyday life precisely because it has been an open-to-all land of opportunity everyone encounters on a daily basis. IoT is a difficult concept for many people to wrap their minds around. Essentially, IoT consists of technologically advanced objects that have the ability to transmit information, and potentially even sense, monitor and react to human behavior.As a pioneering maker, MediaTek is determined to be a creative, developer-centric ecosystem supporting device creation center, and to provide application development and services. With its rapidly growing MediaTek Labs, ecosystem and Linkit community, it also intends to change the future of wearable technology. Most discussions of IoT revolve around how it will impact our lives over the coming decades. But few realize how much of an impact IoT already has on our daily lives. Transportation, health and exercise, home and business are four ways IoT already affects our lives and MediaTek is up to the challenge with devices capable of supporting multiple standards, new security systems and build an eco-system business model.MediaTek is also helping businesses optimize in a number of ways. Some stores are already using signals from shoppers' smartphones to track their behavior in-store, pairing up with online data to get the most in-depth customer profile possible. Retailers with apps can then use the data to deliver coupons and special promotional material to the customer's phone at the perfect time and place.THINK Cognitive IoTMarvell Semiconductor, Inc.

And yet, not all updates are equal, of course; some are going to be critical systems that need to be fixed to satisfy a recall or Security threats and countermeasures in OTA update, where as others are less important and can be postponed or ignored by owners. The platform gives OEMs a way to deploy those updates, which can be forced out to a fleet, pushed out silently, or pulled in by owners at the time of their choosing. There's also some fine-grained control that can restrict OTA updates to Wi-Fi (as opposed to LTE) or which require a vehicle to be parked before updating, and so on.Obviously, Security is an issue here, something Mr. Wu said it must be addressed holistically by OEMs, but he pointed out that being able to push out revised software that fixes bugs or exploits rapidly would be a much better option than the lengthy process of taking one's car to a dealer.It might be some time before the entire automotive world has adopted this approach to OTA updates, but you only need to look at how happy their customers are with the practice to see that it's a no-brainer.Let's get on with IoT Platform, The GOOD, the BAD and the UNLIKELYAyla Networks Inc., Global Sales & Service, Vice President, Michel J. MaesoWith global connectivity, personal mobile and digital society sustainable world, IoT will dwarf all other stages of the internet. The economic impact of IoT will be huge according to McKinsey, estimated potential economic impact of the Internet of Things in 2025, range from $3.9-11 trillion annually.Why? Products are Changing...The value of data outshines the value of productIn the IoT, selling a product is a catalyst for data transaction, not an end in itself. For example, an appliance manufacturer could make a fortune selling data about the contents of people's refrigerators to CPG brands. This would enable manufacturers to change their commercial model, perhaps offering a subscription or service fee model; or even offering free use of the appliance in return for data access.IoT is Changing everything for everyone both OEMs and consumers.We are moving towards a world where literally everything you can imagine will be connected. While this opens the door to many opportunities for the consumer and businesses, it also comes with its own risks and challenges such as privacy and security. Regardless, Ayla Networks believe this is going to be a very exciting time and IoT is going to change everything ,impacting everyone and every business around the world within the next few years.Ayla Networks believe Flexibility Focus-It will allow companies to make smarter products. It used to be that we only expected our phones to be able to make phone calls. Today, most consumers expect a lot more from the device they carry in their pocket.Enable smarter business operations and smarter decisions. A big part of the Internet of Things isn't so much about smart devices, but about sensors. One of the example is The Dimplex CONNEX devices allows a user to manage their Dimplex CONNEX smart heaters using their mobile devices.Keep watch: Cloud SurveillanceThroughTek, Sales and Business Development, Manager, Kenny WuThe Internet of Things opens up a whole new array of possible attack vectors that compromise your security. We have not at all figured out how we will store and process the data we are collecting, who owns it, and who has access to it. Together with weak security and an overreaching state, the Internet of Things can easily become our worst dystopian nightmare.Cloud-based computing has touched just about every industry and it will continue to reshape the security and surveillance sector as well. Security can now be offered as a service that is managed remotely, Secure remote access to security systems will increase in use, including by end users who want the convenience and real-time benefits of being able to monitor property and events without having to be physically present. Security as a service: the cloud emerges and more cameras mean big data also the growing concern for cyber security threats.Established in 2008, ThroughTek, a leading IoT total solution provider for cloud connection platform.

Also, maths challenges with a digital owl. voice call/ sketch messaging/ voice messaging/ call log. Some of them also handle activity tracking or GPS, but all of them provide something extra that will keep everyone happy.Available in a range of colours of course, the main appeal here is that the smartwatch features a built-in Eco-system for watch with fun understand kids better effects, unlimited stories/ add friend/ toy control firness center/ pet coach/ step count/ pedo guide/ hero fight etc to choose from.Overall, Smartwatch for children integrates safety, communications and fitness.All about humanoid robotsGeStream Technology Inc, CEO, Changho-YuPeople all around the world adore humanoid robot, designed to someday assist people in their daily lives.Gestream Technology lnc is the 1st humanoid robot designer, manufacturer and educator in Taiwan, dedicates to provide innovative robots that are affordable and easy to use. It's BeRobot also sets Guiness World Record with World's smallest robotStill, even those who've had the pleasure of meeting humanoid robot and seeing it in action (walking up steps, running, hopping, serving treats to guests) might not know the full story about how the robot came about... So how can humanoid robots be used ?First, Robot as an interface to computing systems, providing people with all the services we get from mobile phone or personal advisors such as Amazon Echo while connecting with people on emotional level so called Industrial Robot with Interaction Control.Second, Robot as a sensor array on wheels. Major difference between robots and mobile phones is that Robots can move. This enables robots to move all the sensors installed on them (image, voice, temp, ... ) and investigate things from different angels. It opens a new set of use cases from answering questions like "NAO, where did I put my reading glasses?" sending the robot to search them at home. Another example is a robot that follows a person with light dementia and, if needed, remind him or her to take pills or lock the door when leaving the house. Obviously, this is with Mobile or Remote ControlHow do you think Robots will change our future?

We are enjoying all the benefits from different mobile technologies and innovative solutions. Advances in 5G connectivity, virtual reality (VR) and Internet of Things (IoT) are changing the way telecoms, electronics brands, manufacturing vendors, IC design houses and semiconductor firms think about mobility, while opening up new opportunities in design, applications and usage scenarios.Computex Taipei has long been one of the most important electronics exhibition events worldwide for ICT professionals and related executives. It is also the best showcase for industry players and product manufacturers to demonstrate their innovative strengths. On June 1, 2016, Digitimes hosted Computex 2016 Mobile Technology Forum, featuring professionals and executives from various sectors.Acer's BeingWareMaverick Shih, president of Acer's BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) and Smart Products Business, gave a presentation at Computex 2016 Mobile Technology Forum on "BeingWare creates new value for mobile industry." BeingWare is a brand new concept that Acer introduced at the beginning of 2016. The vision of BeingWare is to create vertical business models leveraging intelligent connected devices. Acer used to be a hardware-centric company in the market. Through BeingWare, Acer is looking to adopt flexible product strategies to bring the best user experience on all device categories. In the past it would have been difficult to apply one user experience across such a wide range of devices and contexts. Integration with services empowers BeingWare applications to provide user-centric services and.BeingWare, in short, is combining hardware, software and services all together. Shih illustrated such integration with several projects. A biking computer product called Xplova X5 is aiming to fulfill cycling community requirements for sharing biking routes information, real-time tracking information, and video recording. Another product concept called Grandpad is an application for seniors to reconnect with family members and friends. This product enables built-in LTE connection for making phone call, sending email, sharing photos and video clips for the entire family members.For IoT solutions, there is the CloudProfessor education computer which runs on Windows 10 and enables Scratch. And BeingWare is set to explore the world of VR with the signing of a letter of intent between Starbreeze AB and Acer to form a joint venture to bring head mounted displays to the professional- and location-based entertainment marketVIA USB-C total soultionsDavid Hsu, VIA Labs associate VP of product marketing, talked about "USB-C Second Wave: Converting Applications into Revenues." He said the first wave of USB-C was from 2015, strongly supported by Apple, Google, and Microsoft in the launches of MacBook, Pixel and Lumia 950XL. For USB-C, VIA has released three types of configuration: (1) High-end mode using Intel thunderbolt 3.0 controller with 20Gbps per lane and 40Gbps in maximum by 2 lanes, requiring external Power Delivery USB controller; (2) mainstream mode, USB 3.1 gen1 & gen2 for data transmission, requiring external Power Delivery USB controller; and (3)entry-level mode using on-board or discrete USB3.0/3.1 host and no support PD.The chipset lineups provide several turnkey solutions including:"Host with USB-C" for motherboards or add-on card solutions; "Hub with USB-C" for standalone hub or docking stations; "SATA with USB-C" for USB external hard drives; and "DP-ALT mode" for video dongle or multimedia docking station. These turnkeys cover almost 85% design-in projects for USB-C electronics devices in the market.But as Hsu pointed out, starting the race early is important, but only the results matter. The USB-C trend is starting slow because mobile devices have yet to implement USB 3.1 or USB-PD features and end users are confused about USB-C products. So Hsu introduced the concept of second-wave USB-C. He said more solutions aim at the right applications through VIA's new chipsets. He concluded that the USB-C market will rely on launching the right products at the right time.DTS's immersive audio solutions for VR and IoTDTS technology is widely adopted. Vincent Ting, DTS APAC sales director, indicated in his talk, "DTS Immersive Audio, VR and the Internet of Things," that DTS has been working hard to tackle VR and transform 2D sound into an immersive, 3D audio experience. DTS have now developed the immersive audio solutions based on object-oriented audio formats. Unlike traditional audio mixing, which associates a sound with a particular speaker on a 2D plane, object-oriented audio technology treats each sound as an individual object. When the sound is treated as an object, it gives a lot of freedom for sound designers to use it in TV games, movies and other multimedia contents. Where is the sound object located? What direction should the sound move along the sound field and at what speed? Those kinds of questions are going make the contents more real and become a really big deal for home theater and VR's future.DTS technology, Ting cited, calculates each combination of speakers working together to reproduce that sound in the room. Another feature unique to DTS is its ability to customize the listening experience. If users watching a movie have difficulty understanding the dialogue, DTS will allow them to adjust just that element of the soundtrack, so that they can hear it more clearly.For IoT solutions, Ting introduced a remote speaker with LED lighting solutions. This unique device is a dedicated design for fulfilling the home safety requirements.Macronix eyeing LTE for IoTMirian Kuao, Macronix senior marketing manager, in her talk, "Innovative Wireless Connectivity to the IoT World," noted that 2G communication services are becoming history. For example, in North America, AT&T will shut down its 2G service on December 31, 2016. The telecom service providers in Australia, Singapore and Canada all have similar schedules for terminating 2G services.Narrow-Band IoT (NB-IoT) or LTE for IoT is an important technology being standardized by 3GPP using a narrowband radio technology specially designed for IoT applications and devices. Special features of this standard include: indoor coverage, low cost, long battery life and support for large numbers of devices. This technology can be deployed in GSM and LTE spectrum. This LTE for IoT technology is suitable for sensor devices that will be deployed at smart factories or automation production lines. She said M2M cellular module shipments will increase from 90 million units in 2015 to 250 million units in 2020, at a CAGR of 22%.Another big trend can be found in the automotive market in Europe. The fast increase in demand for telematics applications provides big opportunities for the industrial ecosystems.All M2M modules require memory components. Macronix has a full memory product lineup covering different kind of NVMs (non-volatile memory).SDL's new concept for customer serviceSDL, founded in 1992, provides language translation and global content management. Its customers include 79 of the top 100 global brands. Jinghua Sun, SDL business development manager in Shanghai, introduced stalked about mobile device and the new trend of customer services.He indicated 85% of customers will build relationships without having to talk to people through call centers or regular phone calls by 2020. Customers do not want to wait for responses on the phone, so the product design needs to take into consideration how to enable digital self-service.There are different content formats, such as print-out user's guides, and electronic files such as pdf. And there are smartphone apps and even VR in the future. To deal with these so many different kinds of content formats, SDL has introduced Content Management System (CMS) to accommodate these challenges. CMS, Sun said, is just like a good librarian who manages the library collections.The contents also need to be reusable and scalable to fit different media in the market. For the purpose, there is the SDL Knowledge Center. This tool is based on DIAT format (a XML like format) to do the structured content management.Peraso promoting WiGig 802.11adPeraso Technologies, a fables IC design company focused on WiGig, is one of the few companies in the world, along with Intel and Qualcomm, that recently celebrated two milestones: It launched its WiGig W110 chipset into volume production, and it struck an agreement with IgniteNet to supply Peraso WiGig infrastructure components for the core 60 GHz functionality in its MetroLinq line of outdoor wireless products.Brad Lynch, VP of Product Development, talked about "Using WiGig 802.11ad in Mobile and Consumer Electronics Applications." WiGig was originally developed by the WiGig Alliance, but it was consolidated into the Wi-Fi Alliance in 2013. WiGig products (802.11ad) operate in the 60 GHz spectrum band and deliver data transmitting speed of 8 Gigabit per second, low power consumption and low latency without frequency interference.Lynch noted the market is just at its beginning stage. Peraso's 60 GHz band USB dongle products and other products from Intel and Qualcomm have just been released. But shipments to the market will expand fast in 2017. The company works to offer products that can support a larger number of customers.Peraso is also aiming at the market for peripherals, such as VR/AR goggles. Lynch said that the company is looking to create a WiGig ecosystem.ITRI showcasing 5G technologiesThere were two sessions presented by Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI): "Next Generation Mobile Communications System" by Ching-Tarng Hsieh, and "Status of 5G technologies development" by Chun-Hsiang Chi.In 2010, 4G LTE started to deploy and provide services. There were 354 LTE networks in 119 countries and 25 LTE-A networks in 19 countries as of November 2014. Along with LTE have come such applications as cloud services and Big Data analytics. Taiwan's ICT ecosystems covering audio/video digital contents, industrial design houses, retail brands, OEMs/ODMs, semiconductor fabs and fables IC design houses have developed strategies to tap the 4G market.LTE provides faster data services, and voice services are primarily riding on 2G/3G networks. VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is not yet popular, and technology such as Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) provides an interim solution for handing over VoLTE to 2G/3G networks, which is challenging VoLTE market position. As multiple carriers have to share LTE's limited bandwidth, there are other solutions such as LTE-A, LTE Broadcast, LTE/Wi-Fi Interworking and LTE over unlicensed bands.IoT connectivity needs to address many issues, such as improvement to indoor coverage, massive numbers of low throughput devices, low delay sensitivity, ultra low device cost, low device power consumption and optimized network architecture. These provide opportunities for NarrowBand IoT (NB-IoT).5G is about enabling new services and devices, connecting new industries, and empowering new user experience. 5G is a process of both evolution and revolution requiring multiple technologies and global efforts. Taiwan's 5G R&D focus includes mmWave technology, SDN/NFV, and Small Cells.The current development at ITRI for 5G communication standards, according to Chi, is heading in three directions: mmWave, massive MIMO technologies and small cell stations. The 5G standards will have to wait until 2020 before being finalized.Computex 2016 Mobile Technology Forum arranged by Digitimes
