Wearables, smart homes, smart cities and industry 4.0 are driving wide range of applications fueling today's Internet of Things (IoT) market growth.

Fusion of IoT, AI & 5G will expedite the evolution of the connected devices to smart devices and unleash the power of data.

Fast growing IoT devices lead to exponential growth of data that will be processed through intelligent AI model to make devices smarter and enrich user experience. Combined with 5G infrastructure that enables massive M2M networking, low latency communication and fast connection, wide range of (AI+IoT) applications can be realized.

The increasing IoT applications also create scenarios that edge devices and sensors will be operated on batteries, where battery life may influence the usefulness and proliferation of AIoT devices. Innovative Ultra-low Power (ULP) technology is essential to extend battery life while supporting enhanced performance.
