BEIJING: China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, the world's biggest telecommunications equipment maker, became the latest tech giant to present its own take on the 'Internet of Things' (IoT), centred on an operating system designed to allow household and business appliances to communicate with each other online.
At an event in Beijing, Huawei executives showcased its "Agile IoT" architecture, including an operating system called LiteOS to control basic devices. This marks the firm's most significant push into a sector that has lured heavyweights from Google Inc to Intel Corp and IBM into pushing their own standards and communication protocols.
