Smarter World

Edge computing and edge processing are key to the future of Smart Home, but realizing the full potential of the opportunity means optimizing a range of technologies and garnering support across a remarkably broad ecosystem. In this episode of the Smarter World Podcast, guest host Jonathan Collins, research director for Smart Home and Smart Health Coverage at ABI Research, discusses the topic with Tom Pannell, senior marketing director at NXP and Karl Jonsson, senior director of product management for smart home at Belkin.

As network operators prepare the infrastructure for 5G, adding the capacity needed for multi-gig speeds, ultra-low latency, and much higher spectrum efficiency, there are a number of tradeoffs to consider in terms of cost, complexity, and time. In this episode of the Smarter World Podcast, guest host Teena Maddox, Associate Managing Editor with Tech Republic, discusses the topic with Tareq Bustami, SVP and GM of Network Edge Processing at NXP and Garima Garg, Director of Technology Strategy at Verizon Wireless.

For more than a year now, the coronavirus has changed our daily lives. In HoverGames Challenge 2, “Help Drones, Help Others During Pandemics”, NXP asked contestants to come up with innovative ways for drones to help people in need, improve crisis management or even directly prevent the spread of disease. In this episode, Nitin Dahad, editor at EE Times and Embedded.com, discusses the NXP HoverGames challenge to a challenge based interactive coding competition and its recently announced winners. He's joined by Iain Galloway, Program Manager for Drones and Rovers at NXP, Ramon Roche, Program Manager at Dronecode Foundation, Ian McElhenny and Adam Berlier of Team SCAREcrow, the winners of HoverGames 2.

Convenience is just one benefit of edge computing. Beyond that, it can help us build a better society, one that’s more socially responsible by reducing energy consumption, keeping us safer, protecting our data privacy, and improving productivity. In this episode of the Smarter World Podcast, Nitin Dahad, editor atembedded.comand EE Times, discusses the topic with NXP’s Gowri Chindalore, head of edge strategy, and Amanda McGregor, head of product innovation for applications processors.

In this episode of the Smarter World Podcast, host Nitin Dahad, editor at embedded.com and EE Times, discusses the semiconductor technology known as gallium nitride with Paul Hart, Executive Vice President and General Manager of radio power for NXP Semiconductors.

The pace of edge computing is advancing so fast that today’s “breakthrough” will be eclipsed a short time later by another breakthrough. While we see traces of early IoT concepts in devices we use every day, innovations in edge computing are rapidly transforming how we interact in the world around us, from our next-generation wearables and smart home assistants to advanced industrial robots and automated vehicles. In this episode, Nitin Dahad, technology journalist and editor at EE Times and Embedded.com discusses industrial and IoT edge computing trends with Ron Martino, senior vice president and general manager of the Edge Processing business at NXPSemiconductors.
