As the Internet of Things jumps into the mainstream of the market, there are five trends worth tracking in this area, including networking, security, and machine learning...
Companies in many vertical areas are now fully aware of the potential benefits of the Internet of Things (IoT), although most are still thinking about how to do it, when to start it, and where to deploy the IoT solution; And the wisdom of platforms like Amazon's Alexa, consumers are taking action,
According to forecasts, there will be more than 1.4 billion connected devices in the smart home market by 2021; this number was 224 million in 2016. And in 2017, the top five IoT trends that engineers can't ignore are:
1. LPWA jumps into the mainstream
Low-power wireless access (LPWA) technology, which operates on licensed spectrum, will officially enter the market in 2017, opening a door for applications requiring low cost and long battery life, and The mobile communication network is reliably and securely integrated and can be tracked by operators. This year we will see service providers deploying the first commercial NB-IoT and LTE Cat M1 networks; those LPWA technologies will be at the heart of the service provider's IoT program.
2. Operator expansion and developer cooperation
As network operators try to promote the use of IoT platforms and infrastructure, expanding the relationship with developers will be an important focus as operators want to better understand the potential of new IoT scenarios across a wide range of industries; One of the benefits of a R&D project is the ability to bring innovation to the operator's business.
3. Security becomes a priority
As the network of widely distributed, heterogeneous networked devices becomes more visible, the security of data, networks and devices is gradually becoming the focus; this year we will see more IoT devices being hacked and IoT networks. Cases of exposure to weakness, whether through low-end consumer devices or more complex IoT products. System vendors and leading service providers have come together to address these issues and gaps, and security will become a more important selling point, especially for those who want to provide end-to-end IoT solutions.
4. Understanding of "machine learning"
The value of IoT data will be realized in more ways in 2017, and we will see data being processed and analyzed at the edge of the IoT network, and therefore the need to pass large amounts of data back to the core network before triggering actions or alerts is minimal. From this year onwards, the use of IoT data streams and machine learning engines will be integrated across the various scenarios of elevator management to smart homes.
5. IoT drives new service business model
Early adopters are exploring how to leverage IoT data and analytics to support new, transformed business models; this will impact the entire vertical landscape, especially as infrastructure requires a large upfront investment and the infrastructure needs ongoing maintenance and operations. Case. Companies will begin to take advantage of IoT's capabilities to enable customers to purchase everything from lighting to elevators through long-term managed service models without having to pay for the infrastructure.

TO-220 Transistor Outline Package is a type of in-line package often used in high-power transistors and small and medium-sized integrated circuits.
It not only plays the role of mounting, fixing, sealing, protecting the chip and enhancing the electrothermal performance, but also connects to the pins of the package shell with wires through the contacts on the chip, and these pins pass through the wires on the printed circuit board. Connect with other devices to realize the connection between the internal chip and the external circuit.Because the chip must be isolated from the outside world to prevent impurities in the air from corroding the chip circuit and causing electrical performance degradation. On the other hand, the packaged chip is also easier to install and transport.
TO-220 package is a kind of in-line package that is often used for fast recovery diodes. TO-220AC represents a single tube with only two pins and only one chip inside.
The diodes are packaged in TO-220AC and can be used in switch mode power supplies (SMPS), power factor correction (PFC), engine drives, photovoltaic inverters, uninterruptible power supplies, wind engines, train traction systems, electric vehicles and other fields.
