Engineering and expertise in smart connected product design

What is a smart connected product ?

A smart connected product is an electronical device, like an embedded system, that exchanges data with one or more devices (M2M). A relevant example of smart connected product is the smart watch : it connects to your smartphone and both systems exchange data with one another, e.g. heart rate or gyroscope (watch), notifications or applications (smartphone). Smart connected products can also be used for industrial purposes, for instance to manage real-time water consumption.

Smart connected products can exchange data using short-distance transmission (Bluetooth, ZigBee, BLE), via a local network (Wifi) or via the internet (SigFox, LoRa, Box, GSM, 3G, 4G). It is then referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT).
