Intel is announcing the opening of an “IoT Ignition Labs” in Moscow. With a focus on Smart building, Smart City, and Retail, the Moscow lab “offers tools, technology and engineering know-how to those in the industry keen to take IoT projects into commercial deployment.”
The US corporation is simultaneously announcing IoT labs in Ireland and the UAE, augmenting those already open for business in the UK, Germany, Sweden, Israel, and Turkey.
These labs provide Intel’s partners, developers and integrators with advanced technological solutions. Companies may get acquainted with proofs of concepts and use cases, receive advice on new product roll-out, and integrate Intel’s ecosystem.
Among the Moscow IoT Lab’s first partners is RTSoft, which is developing a transport monitoring system adapted to environments with limited Internet access. The solution executes preliminary analysis of collected data and transmits only relevant information in order to reduce Internet traffic.
Another partner is Synesis, a developer of video data analytics and object recognition solutions. In the field of retail, these solutions generate quantitative and behavioral data on consumers.
“I am delighted to see Moscow join the Ignition Lab community in EMEA. We have seen examples already of IoT innovation that has been developed locally scale into other regions,” stated Louise Summerton, Intel Corporation EMEA IoT Ecosystem Sales Director.
“The Ignition labs are a great space for partners to collaborate and drive real solution creation. Having multiple locations across the lab network enables rapid scale into new markets, helping to accelerate deployment of innovative solutions,” said Rod O’Shea, Intel Internet of Things EMEA Director.
