MediaTek formed alliance with Microsoft to attack the Internet of Things | MT3620 chip Q3 asked the market

IC Design Leading MediaTek Layout IoT has achieved major breakthrough. Alliance Microsoft has introduced the industry's first system-on-a-chip MT3620 with Microsoft Azure Sphere solution, providing pre-built security and networking capabilities for microcontroller (MCU)-type IoT products. , Following the cooperation of Amazon, Google and other international companies, MediaTek has made a breakthrough in the field of IoT deployment. Currently, the chip has been submitted to sample customers, and is expected to be equipped with MediaTek chip products in the third quarter of this year.

MediaTek pointed out that the MT3620 is a joint effort of MediaTek and Microsoft to develop chips for the Microsoft Azure Sphere operating system. Wi-Fi networking control is built into the processor chip and loaded with Microsoft's latest security protocol. The MT3620 chip will follow suit. The sale of Microsoft's Azure Sphere solution enables many IoT device developers to easily connect to the MCU IoT devices they have built, and to ensure security under the Microsoft-provided security architecture.

Deputy CEO of MediaTek and General Manager of Smart Devices Group, said that the cooperation with Microsoft has a long history. The two parties cooperated in the development of special-purpose chips in response to various networking needs. Together with Microsoft, security and trust were brought into the slave terminal. The overall IoT application of chips to cloud services. Device manufacturers can use MediaTek chips and Microsoft operating platforms to create a variety of networking devices and sales, and consumers can properly manage these products.

Since more than 9 billion IoT devices with built-in MCUs enter the market every year, the cost of networking is drastically reduced, and billions of devices will be able to connect and control each other through the MCU. From home appliances, health monitoring devices to children Toys and industrial equipment are all part of the continuous growth of the Internet of Things. The more network nodes there are, the more possible intrusions will increase. This means that companies and individuals must trust their devices, data, and the cloud is safe. The advantages of these convenient networking devices.

According to Galen Hunt, Microsoft’s general manager of Azure Sphere, computer computing is becoming more powerful and ubiquitous in the cloud or in the terminal. Azure Sphere brings together Microsoft’s expertise in cloud computing, software, and silicon, providing chip-launch to cloud-based security solutions. Solution. Working closely with MediaTek on chip design, the company announced that it will launch the first chip, the Azure Sphere-qualified MT3620, to enter the market. The two parties will jointly provide a solid foundation for the next generation of smarter and more secure Internet of Things products and solutions.
