Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
“With the addition of these new
products, we can bring the benefits of Intel processors to new
applications, devices and customers who develop products used in
unconstrained thermal environments with low-power in mind,” said Doug
Davis, vice president, Digital Enterprise Group and general manager,
Embedded and Communications Group, Intel.
“Meeting the needs of embedded environments and new market
segments will play a large role in delivering the connectivity and
functionality necessary as the number of devices connecting to the
embedded Internet is expected to grow to an estimated 15 billion
devices by 2015,” Davis added, citing a January report by IDC’s John
Gantz titled “The Embedded Internet: Methodology and Findings.”
Intel’s
30-year-old embedded computing division focuses on machines, devices
and equipment that have computing and Internet capabilities but are not
traditional PCs, laptops or servers.
“Intel
is well known for innovation and we’re excited to see them introducing
new low-power consumption Intel Atom processors targeted for in-vehicle
systems,” said Greg Baribault, director of product management for the
Automotive Business Unit at Microsoft.
“Intel Atom processors and the Microsoft Auto software platform will
provide scalability for the new era of advanced in-vehicle solutions.”
In addition to in-car applications, the Intel Atom Z5xx processor
series also targets an emerging category of Internet-based
communications devices Intel calls “media phones” which provide communications services over IP and easy,
one-touch access to lifestyle applications such as e-mail, text
messaging, weather information, YouTube, horoscopes and digital photo
albums.
To
help accelerate this emerging device category, Intel today introduced
an Intel Media Phone Reference Design designed to facilitate
development of hardware solutions to market. The hardware development
platform includes schematics and validated software stacks.
