Building these 20+ billion devices will necessarily generate upside revenue. We think that these devices will have to be secured, extremely low-power… and low-cost. IoT has to be secured because hackers should absolutely not be allowed to meddle in the system. Low-cost to allow an adoption rate as fast as predicted and low-power as the user will not accept to change or charge the battery every day, or even every week (except maybe for wearable). In fact, the development of IoT systems could lead to revolutionary change in H/W and S/W design practice, similar to mobile phone explosion pushing to design incredibly more power efficient SoC in the 2000’s.

In more than 30 years of semiconductors, we have seen many technology-induced disruptions in our ecosystem, be it healthcare, consumer, mobile, aerospace, or any other field for that matter. To name a few are portable healthcare devices at much lower prices, video conferencing over internet that reduced the need of physical travel, smartphones that have made many businesses much efficient, and so on. One thing is for sure, all these developments have happened because of newer and newer semiconductor technologies being infused in the equipment that are core to these applications.
