Ayla and IoT

Here is an article that talks about a company Ayla - The Internet of Things - Ayla. It is an interesting business model:

- Chipmakers like Broadcom, STMicroelectronics build chipsets for IoT Decices.

- Ayla makes device drivers for the chipsets: "Ayla’s software handles all the tough networking stuff, the difficult job of getting the “things” to talk to each other".

- Ayla's customers, large manufacturers, will just need to configure these devices and can subsequently manages them, once bought by customers, using Ayla's cloud-based platform.

- What kind of IoT devices will come out of these? Whatever Ayla's customers want to build: personalized weather stations, doggy bowls, whatever

- End customers of these IoT devices, like you and I, will connect and manage these devices using our smartphones.
