Huawei has announced LiteOS, its operating system for connected objects and more generally the Internet of Things (IoT). This OS is lightweight as it weighs only 10 KB!
Huawei hopes to be omnipresent in the battle of connected objects. We remember the tracker activity announced in February compatible with LTE-M (4.5 G) .This is where a network technology to increase the range of the antennas (while reducing throughput) while lowering consumption of customer equipment. Huawei hopes to push this standard network and market compatible products in the future. To accompany these future products, Huawei has just lifted the veil on LiteOS, its operating system for the Internet of Things (IoT).
For now, the manufacturer has been fairly stingy with details, even if still we know that LiteOS weighs only 10 KB! A ridiculously small compared to 400MB Android Wear. But of course, the two are diametrically opposed since OS LiteOS contains virtually no functionality. The treatments are performed on a remote server and LiteOS merely to transit the data over the network. So LiteOS needs no configuration, is able to detect compatible networks and the devices communicate with. We imagine very well LiteOS on type devices connected toothbrush, whose sole purpose is to exchange data to a hub and then analyze on a smartphone or computer.
LiteOS be open for all developers to help create a large ecosystem. Moreover, it seems that Huawei has not the will to use this OS for its products, but to offer it to its partners. In addition to the OS, Huawei will provide a comprehensive architecture, built around servers and hubs: Agile and Agile Controller IoT Gateways.
Through this ecosystem, Huawei hopes to find a place of choice and predicted the creation of 100 billion devices connected by 2025. Of these, 22% would be wearable objects as connected watches, 18% would be dedicated at home (vacuum cleaner, television, etc.) and the rest would be used at industrial level (cities, connected cars, etc.).
