Samsung will power IoT with Windows 10

The IoT partnership was revealed at CES Las Vegas by Samsung’s president of its business solutions unit, WP Hong. He outlined Samsung’s “IoTivity” strategy as chip maker, device maker and service provider but not the platform maker. “Platform is integral to Samsung’s IoT strategy,” said Terry Myerson, VP of Microsoft’s Windows devices. Windows 10 IoT Core, is Microsoft’s version of Windows 10 specifically geared toward IoT devices. Until this announcement it only ran on non-Samsung devices. Now it has Intel, Samsung and Qualcomm – arguably the three largest chip makers - on board.
