NXP and Amazon Web Services Launch Cooperation in IoT
July 27 2017 - 9:00AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI) today announced it is working
with Amazon Web Services (AWS), to successfully complete the
integration of Amazon Greengrass on its Layerscape Intelligent
Gateway platform. Amazon Greengrass is a software that extends AWS
Cloud capabilities to local devices, making it possible for them to
collect and analyze data closer to the source of information, while
also securely communicating with each other on local networks. This
integration provides efficient security support for edge computing
and Internet-of-Things (IoT) cloud interactions, enabling agile
business delivery and world-class secure IoT access for homes,
companies and other business environments. In the future, the two
companies will explore further areas of cooperation in edge
computing and cloud platforms, ranging from product R&D,
business development and market promotion, all aiming to ensure IoT
data security through collaborative innovation.
The NXP Intelligent Gateway Platform uses the
company’s QorIQ Layerscape processor architecture. In addition to
advanced edge computing power and security performance, the
processor family can seamlessly extend AWS Cloud capabilities to
the device side, processing data collected by Internet users in
local real-time, enabling it to be simultaneously managed, analyzed
and stored permanently in the cloud. Layerscape series processors
use industry-leading small size, low power consumption and high
performance 64-bit ARMv8 architecture. The product line includes
single-core, dual-core, quad-core, and eight-core System-on-a-Chips
(SoCs). This series of processors also integrates a powerful
network, security, storage and TSN hardware acceleration engine and
programmable application interface. With its superior combination
of high-performance and low-power usage, Layerscape processors have
become the preferred platform for SDN/NFV edge computing nodes, as
well as enterprise, industrial and home-grade intelligent gateway
devices.
“NXP is committed to driving the development of the IoT industry
through innovation and cooperation,” said Qu Dajian, Asia Pacific
Marketing Director of NXP Semiconductors Digital Network Division.
“The integration of NXP's Layerscape and Amazon AWS not only
effectively improves edge computing and cloud platform operations,
but also addresses common security concerns that arise in the rapid
development of IoT. NXP is very pleased to cooperate with Amazon,
and we are looking forward to working together to promote the
healthy development of the IoT and help build a smart, connected
world.”
Amazon Greengrass is designed to help customers build and
implement seamless switching between the edge and AWS Cloud,
helping customers experience lower latency and greater ease of use
at minimal cost. NXP not only covers the largest spectrum of
industrial customers and Internet service provider ecosystems, but
also has years of R&D investment and experience in intelligent
hardware systems. For all these reasons, NXP teams with AWS in the
field of edge computing, cloud services and security links.
Gateway equipment plays an increasingly important role in
current and future IoT networks. It provides the basic services of
traditional network protocols, but also allows for intelligent
management of local equipment, localized computing storage, and
end-to-end network security connections, providing low cost, highly
efficient and high-quality delivery management for a range of
services. As the world’s leading provider of secure connectivity
and infrastructure solutions, NXP’s Layerscape Intelligent Gateway
is widely used in smart home, smart city, industrial IoT and
artificial intelligence applications. In the future, NXP will
expand its IoT industry partner base, to jointly collaborate in the
future development of China’s IoT.
