Trends in Batteries, Compute, and Connectivity

Illustration: © IoT For AllFor any successful technology, the evolution process is the same: costs decrease, performance increases, and the ability to innovate compounds. At MistyWest we believe that advances in cellphones, electrical vehicles, and 5G will lead to a revolution in embedded vision. In the next 10 years, embedded systems will use 10 times less power to do 10 times more computing, while battery capacity may increase by three times.  The development of dedicated deep learning processors will also be a significant factor. New wireless technologies like NB-IoT (part of 5G) may decrease the cost and power consumption by a similar factor.  There are already early examples of this revolution in the form of Etacompute, a camera system with one-year battery life, and the Veo sports camera that autonomously tracks a soccer ball to follow the action. The following article will…
