NXP and Google Cloud Use New Cloud IoT Core to Extend Reach and Performance of Android Things
May 16 2017 - 12:00PM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI) today announced that its
Android Things platform supports the new Google Cloud IoT Core, a
fully managed service that allows users to easily and securely
connect and manage devices at a global scale. The Cloud IoT Core
includes various Google services that unlock the value of real-time
IoT data for smart city initiatives and deployments.
“Cloud IoT Core was designed to simplify digital transformation
by helping customers leverage Google Cloud’s data analytics and
machine learning capabilities and act on insights, in real time,
from operational data that was previously inaccessible,” said Adam
Massey, Director, Strategic Technology Partners at Google Cloud.
“By working with industry leaders like NXP, we are expanding the
surface of innovation to help more customers realize the value of
connected devices for their businesses.”
Developed in early partnership with Google, the NXP Android
Things platform features an i.MX applications processor to enable
cost-effective, feature-rich functionality to a broad group of
developers, makers and OEMs. The platform was designed to enable
rapid development of affordable, connected, Android-based IoT
devices. Now with Google Cloud IoT Core, enterprise and city
developers can utilize NXP’s platform to help create a smart,
interconnected system of devices that are securely managed and
provisioned through the Google Cloud in a city-wide deployment.
“Driving smart experiences at a large scale requires an
ecosystem of advanced end node devices that seamlessly and securely
connect with one another,” said Geoff Lees, senior vice president
and general manager of the microcontroller business line at NXP.
“Supporting the new Google Cloud IoT Core empowers developers to
create devices with more reach, security, awareness, and capability
that is demanded by the IoT market.”
The Google Cloud IoT Core includes services such as Pub/Sub,
Dataflow, Bigtable, BigQuery, and Data Studio to provide a complete
solution for collecting, processing, analyzing, and visualizing IoT
data in real time to support improved operational efficiency. Key
features of the new Cloud IoT Core solution:
- End-to-end security - Enable end-to-end security using
certificate-based authentication and TLS; devices running Android
Things or ones supporting the Cloud IoT Core security requirements
can deliver full stack security.
- Out-of-box data Insights - Use downstream analytic systems by
integrating with Google Big Data Analytics and ML services.
- Serverless infrastructure: Scale instantly without limits using
horizontal scaling on Google’s serverless platform.
- Role-level data control - Apply IAM roles to devices to control
access to devices and data.
- Automatic device deployment - Use REST APIs to automatically
manage the registration, deployment and operation of devices at
scale.
NXP Android Things Platform
