this thread will not be a very popular one.
many things Come and go but connectivity mostly goes is how I think of it... but
I have gone through the updated slide decks...

Roadmap has the potential of PP4... with this snip of info
•
Expand SAM with New Architecture
•
Focus on Technology Synergy with Sensor Processing
Consider that there are many protocals that allow sensors to talk to one another...
say thread, or something like that....

So QUIK has a LOT of history in connectivity and there may yet be a happy day for their toiling of the past decade or so?

Does QUIK know much of thread?
ArcticLink 3 S1 Wearables Turnkey Catalog CSSP Solution Highlights
- Supported Contexts: Walking, Running, Cycling, In-Vehicle, On-Person, Not-on-Person
- Supported Gestures: Tap-to-Wake, Rotate-Wrist-to-Wake
- Supported User Function: Pedometer, including separate step counts for running and walking
- Operating System Support: Android 4.4 (KitKat) and Thread X Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)
don't spend much time of this as it will be a while, but it is an adjacent possible for QUIK now, if they have GOOD ecosystem partners they will work with QUIK on their roadmaps to decide what
they need to include and what they can use QUIK to implement for them? QUIK may well implement some connectivity that is a niche to small for ubiquity, but still important for the full TAM for a player.
I won't spend hrs finding what that might be, just that it does exist.

Also note Thread's claims...
BATTERY FRIENDLY DESIGN
Better for consumers and the
environment.
Designed from the ground up to have extremely low power consumption. Devices efficiently communicate to deliver a great user experience, yet still run for years on the smallest of batteries.
- Extensive support for sleepy nodes allows for years of operation, even on a single AA battery
- Based on the power efficient IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHY
- Short messaging conserves bandwidth and power
- Streamlined routing protocol reduces network overhead and latency
- Designed to run on readily available, low power wireless system-on-chips
Thread would be a nice bit to have on the EOS IoT sensor nodes like Telit is doing?
So expect that somewhere down the line we read of the new Polar Pro and the role QUIK has been shaping for it for the IoT on the connectivity of sensors?
THey have been working on this for some time now, like the in location alliance we may have some known names that we are shaping this for?

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
NEWSLETTER
Q3 2015
I'm very excited to announce that the Thread 1.0 specification, which was released to members in July, is now approved and unencumbered by royalties from Thread Group members. This is huge step forward for Thread, and I'm personally excited to see fantastic components and products shipping with Thread next year.
Recent membership growth has been very positive, with OSRAM joining the board swelling our ranks to over 220 members!
The team working on the Thread 1.0 Test Harness and Cert program are getting very close to shipping the Beta version of the Test Harness to members, another great milestone for the Group. See our news release here. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the members and staff who've put in a huge effort to make this happen.
I look forward to meeting with many of you at the next Thread All Member Meeting in Evian, France this week on November 18th and 19th. If you can't make it to Evian, Thread will have a booth during CES in Las Vegas, Jan 6-9 in the Sands Expo (Booth number #70560) We'll be showing off some exciting demos of products and components that are running Thread (many still pre-certified) Feel free to come by the booth and say hello!
Regards,
Chris Boross,
President Thread Group
Thread is in the IoT future and use this as a mental model of where QUIKs new PolarPro will fall in. Thread, or some other competing sort of effort.

THe rich coral reef is teeming, but everybody kn0ws everybody. THread is connectivity IP and Dr Saxe has been speaking of the IoT a lot this past yr.
Do I think QUIK knows about all this stuff?
Absolutely, not only does Dr. Saxe represent us at such meetings, he has ears and listens to the conversations in the sensor coffee house so that the roadmap can be spot on.
Anyway don't be surprised if we read of QUIK using some Thread IP with the EOS down the line?
Disclaimer; there are other ways to accomplish this same thing and I don't want to explore exhaustively every one of them- this was a mental model of exploration for me of
the slide on QUIKs Dec presentaion regarding a future new architecture for Polar Pro and what IP might go on it....
I think we will be happy as things unfold and won't have to hold our breath waiting for this evolution to occur.
THe 2 companies I have read on just these past months that are worth some very real coins in this coral reef?
Sensory Inc... their 20 yrs of keeping aucio on the device has paid off in spades for them.
Valencel- nice IP for the extension of wearables into health and wellness.
Do they stay independent? Will track along.
Onward to 2016, and for most QUIK will be that dark horse.
Not for me as I have been watching closely and can see how much swifter
it has become with the EOS
biggest gleaning from my reading?
That Dr Saxe and Sensory see some learning IP staying on the device! I just learned that
and its is just huge for the roadmap and margin....huge. The NNLE=the neural network learning engine of great ubiquity. ( a fictional mental model now)

Food for thought...
the adjacent possible has a LOT of connectivity and we can just glimpse it with this THread stuff.
QUIK is NOT majoring in minor things- the Eos tells us that.
Connectivity does NOT have to be boring.
QUIK is making the Polar Pro with a new architecture that will be tailor made to MESH
for the IoT. THey won't talk about it as it is much like the S1, ie a different sorf of approach
and no one needs to know just now.
Just a mental model and we can see how it turns out....

Immediate opportunities for the highly anticipated IoT market are not in consumer applications, but in industrial IoT and security it demands.
A couple of weeks ago, I attended a panel discussion led by Vic Kulkarni, vice president and general manager, ANSYS, Inc. at the ANSYS IoT Executive Symposium in Santa Clara. Its purpose was to explore how to cope with managing a Trillion IoT devices (according to IDC) in the not too distant future.
On hand to discuss possible solutions were six panelists from ARM, Intel, STMicroelectronics, Stanford University, General Electric, and Quicklogic.
I came away with two distinct impressions.
Our own Bob W. was there and made his report....
One was that while we hear a lot about IoT in consumer applications like refrigerator or toaster oven connected to Internet etc., the immediate and bigger opportunity seems to be in industrial and commercial applications.
The second was that security will be a key factor in the growth of IoT in various vertical markets. From the security point of view, we can only say to what extent a system will be secure as nothing connected online will be fool proof against a smart and determined hacker.
Jesse DeMesa, Software CTO at GE sees the Internet of Things being deployed in energy, transportation and medicine. His vision is of the convergence of the physical and analytical worlds made possible by sensors tied to cloud computing.
GE alone has tens of thousands wind turbines, locomotives, and jet engines, as well as hundreds of medical image scanners. Each can contain hundreds of sensing devices monitoring critical operational functions and reporting this information to the cloud.
Deriving value from this deluge of data the Internet of Things is producing is the challenge to established and newly emerging companies.
Susan Athey, Stanford University Professor, questioned whether the market would develop through a vertical model—one large company developing a complete solution that others emulated—similar to what Apple did with the smartphone. Or would it develop as massive general-purpose platforms similar to what Google is doing with Android and other initiatives.
On the matter of securing the Internet of Things, Lorie Wigle, vice president, IoT Security Solutions at Intel McAfee made the case for security from the individual IoT sensor all the way to the cloud. This would involve ensuring device integrity and being able to determine device identity. It would include providing data protection from device to cloud, while maintaining network security from device to cloud. In addition, it would also demand private and public cloud integrity and security, with hardware being employed to assure integrity and identity.
Dipesh Patel, executive vice president at ARM declared that you can’t do Big Data unless you trust Little Data. Thus, ARM sees an opportunity to create value by enabling trust and security in IoT devices. Securing the CPU core requires a secure data store to contain crypto keys to gate access to the CPU.
While new database architectures like Hadoop are emerging for big data analytics, an important requirement is that the collected data is useful and trustworthy. This demands the sensors to be more intelligent to differentiate useful data.
Another discussion was about standardization of end-point device operating systems so that these connected devices can interoperate smoothly.
Maybe this is where a PolarPro 4 can live?
I came away with the notion that it’s not a matter of if the Internet of Things will achieve the trillion-unit volume everyone keeps citing but when. The technology and business drivers of IoT are relentless and the competitive pressure is making adoption of the Internet of Things irresistible.
-- Ravi Thummarukudy is CEO of Mobiveil, Inc.
Use this to be sure that QUIK knows how to make a Polar Pro that has the right connectivity for the IoT?
How can it be different than others like Silicon labs or Microchip?
Not sure really, but I do trust them to move into the adjacent possible, perhpas they will simply piggy back on Eos top tier devices that we don't know about to xpand their use...as a remote control for the IoT?
Nice work if you can get it.

I owned QUIK when we did the mothballed CX and read too much bout security hash algos.
I still know the distilled truths from that digressive reading.
If you really want good security, do it in hardware, not software.
It is compute intense-hash algos are very complex and power hungry.
Use the Telit module that uses QUIK for smart bldgs as a mental model that QUIK IS moving into the IoT...QUIK is there and NOT INVN, or many would expect that slot to go to SIlicon Labs.....QUIK is in the IoT even as I write this.
