Radio IC Supports Both ZigBee and Thread
IHS - Electronics 360 - spotlights GreenPeak's new dual ZigBee - Thread radio chip. Lee Ratliff, principal analyst at IHS covering connectivity and IoT, says that the development of IoT has been hindered by the inherent fragmentation of applications and their standards. Ratliff says that billions of devices capable of Internet connection will be deployed in the next decade and that multiple protocols will co-exist in markets such as the smart home. Equipment manufacturers must have a plan for multi-protocol environments. He says that chip vendors that can support multiple communications protocols will allow customers to keep their options open.

Will Billions of IoT Devices Become Billions of Security Vulnerabilities?
Will Billions of IoT Devices Become Billions of Security Vulnerabilities? Conventional approaches to IT security will leave the Internet of Things (IoT) vulnerable to devastating attacks, according to Alan Grau, president of Icon Labs. The firm produces security products and an accompanying framework for manufacturers of embedded and IoT devices. “Security must be built into the device itself,” Grau told Design News in a recent interview. Designing such protection “provides a critical security layer -- the devices are no longer dependent upon the corporate firewall as their sole layer of security. In addition, the security can be customized to the needs of the device.”
