ARM and Thundersoft Open First IoT Ecosystem Accelerator in China
07 September 2015 - 4:00PM
Business Wire
ARM has partnered with Thundersoft, a world leader in smart
device platforms, to establish the ARM Innovation Ecosystem
Accelerator. The collaboration creates an Internet of Things (IoT)
one-stop shop for startups and established OEMs, providing
integrated hardware and software expertise as well as resources
from the ARM® ecosystem. The Beijing facility is the first of four
planned and is aimed at further advancing China’s IoT industry.
The first office in Zhongguancun, Beijing, will offer an ARM
mbed™ IoT Device Platform innovation lab and an ARM Cortex®-based
IoT system on chip (SoC) design lab alongside joint facilities with
ecosystem partners. The accelerator will provide workshops,
training, and design services for mbed OS and Cortex
processor-based development platforms. System integration services
aligned to the needs of the local design environment will also be
available to further facilitate and speed up the path from
prototype to production.
“China is the largest IoT market in the world and there is a
compelling growth opportunity for local companies if we address
today’s fragmented technology landscape,” said Allen Wu, president
of Greater China, ARM. “ARM is once again collaborating with a key
partner to make the strongest commitment to China and the IoT
industry. We are providing the ability for any company, big or
small, to access integrated resources and expertise to simplify
product development and accelerate time-to-market. The ARM
Innovation Ecosystem Accelerator is a powerful and open platform
containing the resources of the world’s biggest technology
ecosystem that will enable local companies to innovate, grow and
succeed in the smart and connected world.”
“IoT is a new market full of opportunities in China, and most
innovation will come from startups,” said Hongfei Zhao, chairman,
Thundersoft. “The challenges that startups are facing include the
lack of complete product experience, resources, and ecosystem
support. Our joint efforts with ARM can provide not only software
and hardware components, but also system-level product development
services and the support of the entire ARM ecosystem. We can
address the pain points of IoT applications/services developed by
startups and OEMs to save cost and time, and increase their chances
of success in the market.”
“The ARM Innovation Ecosystem Accelerator integrates the leading
technologies and resources from the ARM ecosystem,” said Lu Shan,
director general, CSIP. “This will enable us to innovate and
develop a diverse range of smart products and services. With that,
it will empower China’s IoT industry development. CSIP and ARM
share a common vision in terms of encouraging industry
collaboration and development. Given the strong support from
government, we believe there will be more and more innovation and
services realized on the ARM platform, supporting fast growth for
the Chinese IoT industry.”
“At Horizon we have a great vision for artificial
intelligence-based (AI) products full of unique creative ideas,”
said Dr. Kai Yu, founder and CEO, Horizon Robotics. “However,
moving from prototype to mass production requires additional
external engineering expertise and technical support. The ARM
Innovation Ecosystem Accelerator is an ideal one-stop shop
providing AI-capable chips, software and hardware systems, and
access to a unique platform supported by industry leading
companies. This will allow us to speed up our development of
solutions based on artificial intelligence algorithms and go to
mass production at our desired pace.”
