On July 17th, MediaTek announced that it has partnered with Microsoft to provide the industry's first system-on-chip (SoC) supporting the Microsoft Azure Sphere IoT operating system - the MT3620, providing built-in security and networking capabilities. MCU-type IoT products that promote IoT innovation and security. Microsoft Azure Sphere is an operating system designed to develop highly secure MCU-related devices that enable companies to deploy a wide range of cloud-based devices. Security mechanism. It is reported that MediaTek has sent samples to the main cooperative customers. The terminal products will be available in the third quarter of 2018. MediaTek MT3620 is a chip jointly developed by MediaTek and Microsoft for the Microsoft Azure Sphere Internet of Things operating system. Wi-Fi networking control is built into the processor chip and loaded with Microsoft's latest security protocol. The MediaTek MT3620 chip will be sold with the Microsoft Azure Sphere total solution, allowing many IoT device developers to easily connect The MCU IoT device it built, and ensure the security of the device under the security framework provided by Microsoft. MediaTek Deputy General Manager of Technology and General Manager of intelligent equipment business group Zhan Jie said: 'Lianfa Technology has a long history of cooperating with Microsoft. We are cooperating to develop special-purpose chips to meet various networking needs. MediaTek has leading position in chip design and In close cooperation with Microsoft, and more importantly, we agree with Microsoft's vision and work together to bring security and trust into the overall IoT application from the terminal chip to the cloud. Device manufacturers can use MediaTek chips and Microsoft operating platforms to create a variety of A variety of connected devices are sold and the consumers can manage these products properly. 'The cost of networking has dropped dramatically, meaning that billions of devices will be able to connect to each other and be controlled by MCUs. From home appliances, Health monitoring equipment to children's toys and industrial equipment are all part of the continuous growth of the Internet of Things. The more connected nodes there are, the more likely to be invaded. This means that businesses and individuals must believe their devices, data, and cloud. It is indeed safe and secure to take advantage of these convenient networking devices. As a result, MediaTek and Microsoft have joined hands to promote the market. Moved from stand-alone MCU devices to secure cloud-connected MCU devices and applications. Galen Hunt, general manager of Microsoft Azure Sphere, said: 'Computer computing is becoming more powerful and ubiquitous in the cloud or in the terminal. We will see the next decade One billion devices connected to the network. Azure Sphere brings together Microsoft's expertise in cloud computing, software and silicon, providing unique security solutions from the chip to the cloud. MediaTek and Microsoft work closely together on chip design, and we're happy to be together Announced that the first MT37020 chip with Azure Sphere certification will enter the market. Microsoft and MediaTek will jointly provide a solid foundation for the next generation of smarter and more secure IoT products and solutions. 'More than 9 billion built-in systems are built every year. MCU's IoT devices are entering the market, so industry leaders like Microsoft and MediaTek must work together to ensure the highest level of built-in security, regardless of expensive or low-cost networking equipment. Through Azure Sphere , Microsoft is building a new ecosystem of multiple chip suppliers, ODMs and OEMs. Participating partners understand the opportunities and risks that come with the increasing number of IoT products and applications, and thus work together to confirm the establishment and maintenance of safety standards.
