What this episode covers

Nitin Dahad, Editor-in-Chief of Embedded.com, interviews Lars Riga, CTO of NXP Semiconductors, Fred Rivard, CEO of Micro Edge, and Sumit Chauhan, COO of Cerebrum X, to discuss embedded trends in a connected world. Riga explains the shift to a world that anticipates and automates, emphasizing hardware security and digital twins for smart homes and vehicles. Rivard describes how Micro Edge uses software containerization (Macroid) to decouple software from hardware, enabling faster time-to-market and subscription-based services. Chauhan details Cerebrum X’s approach to data monetization in automotive, focusing on synthetic sensors and crash scenario analysis using high-frequency data from cabin, vehicle health, and road streams.

    What is Hybrid Connectivity for IoT? | Monogoto's Maor Efrati | Internet of Things Podcast

    Maor Efrati, co-founder and CTO of Monogoto, explains hybrid connectivity as a software-defined approach that allows a single device to switch between cellular, Wi-Fi, private 5G, and satellite networks based on coverage and cost needs. He highlights how edge AI reduces bandwidth requirements by streaming metadata instead of raw video, making low-power networks viable for high-value use cases like connected cars and robots. Efrati also discusses the shift toward built-in security and SIM virtualization, noting that market education remains a significant hurdle for customers unfamiliar with these integrated capabilities.
