Raj Talluri, senior vice president of product management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., said: "Designing a home hub backed by artificial intelligence is a complex undertaking that requires OEMs to integrate the software and hardware elements of connectivity, computing and security in a fraction of the time. By supporting the voice interface and connecting multiple ecosystems and cloud integrations, our home hub platform with Android Things integrates the technologies needed to support a wide range of IoT devices. Qualcomm Technologies has the unique advantage of supporting OEMs and can even Achieve the Most Challenging Design We're excited to bring these new platforms to IoT customers and help them build affordable and innovative AI devices. "
Different Qualcomm Home Hub Platform The first Qualcomm home hub for Android Things based on the Qualcomm SDA212 SoC, designed to support home appliances and appliances with digital assistants and audio capabilities such as refrigerators, ovens and washing machines, is integrated in one platform A unique combination of processing power, connectivity, voice user interface, and state-of-the-art audio technology enables OEMs to provide consumers with a full range of features and highly intuitive devices that include echo cancellation, noise suppression and voice in-stream capabilities, Supports voice user interface in noisy or noisy environments, even when the user is away from the device.
For Android Things, the richer feature-rich version of the Qualcomm home hub platform adds edge computing based on the Qualcomm SDA624 SoC while introducing multimedia, video for Android Things devices such as smart displays, home surveillance cameras, smart thermostats, and security panels Camera and touch screen, etc. With this version of the product, home hub devices can support advanced tasks including video conferencing, remote video surveillance, movie and video streaming, and more.
Both platforms feature Qualcomm Technologies' QCA9379 chipset for robust Wi-Fi® 802.11ac 2x2 MU-MIMO and Bluetooth® connectivity.
Designed to Accelerate the Development and Popularization of Artificial Intelligence Home Endpoints To further accelerate the rapid and economical development of artificial intelligence home hubs and devices, Qualcomm Technologies is working with resellers to design and make available based on both the SDA212 and SDA624 Qualcomm Home Hub platforms Certified system-level modules, reference designs, and development boards available to OEMs of any size that can source these platforms and leverage the Android Things software to create products that deliver consistent and familiar user experience while adding custom Android Package Kits (APK) for a differentiated user experience Software and security updates can be pushed to a fully equipped device through the Google Cloud to help OEMs quickly and efficiently add new features, fix vulnerabilities worldwide, Perform security updates, while reducing product lifecycle maintenance costs.
In addition to the convenience of Google Assistant, Qualcomm Home Hub-based Android Platform-based devices leverage other Google Cloud services to deliver useful content and entertainment to consumers. Google Cast for Audio allows consumers to easily transfer music while TensorFlow supports machines Learn Apps. Streaming with Google Cast for video streaming with SDA624, video conferencing with Google Duo, and Google Maps provide the latest traffic updates while away from home.
Availability and CES Showcase Qualcomm Home Hubs with Android Things, System-on-Modules, Reference Designs and Boards are expected to be available through Intrinsyc Technologies Corporation in the first quarter of 2018. System-level modules based on the SDA624 will also be available Lite-technology market.
During CES 2018 in Las Vegas, January 9-12, Qualcomm Technologies will showcase products based on the Home Hub platform at Central Hall Booth 10948.
