Dialog Semiconductor Launches IoT Program for Smart Buildings, Cities

Dialog Semiconductor’s new SmartServer IoT partner program gives system integrators and OEM solutions providers access to the chip company’s IoT edge server and open software suite, including integration tools and application programming interfaces, certified training and support, it said Tuesday. The goal is to accelerate secure, scalable integration of IoT edge devices and networks with cloud platforms and operational technologies found in smart factories, buildings and cities. To gain the benefit of artificial intelligence-based data at the edge and in the cloud, data from legacy operational systems needs to interoperate with edge and cloud computing technologies, said Mark Tyndall, general manager of Dialog’s IoT business group. SmartServer IoT creates a “data fabric” that connects systems, he said.
