Recently, according to foreign media TechCrunch, Intel intends to bid $100 million to $150 million to acquire sports monitoring equipment company Basis, thus fully entering the field of wearable devices.
So, if the rumors are true, does it mean that Intel intends to fully enter the field of motion monitoring equipment? First of all, what is certain is that in the case of the smartphone and tablet market becoming saturated, the technology giants will focus on the field of wearable devices. Intel also needs to make a difference to make it clear that it does not fall behind. Post-human position.
In addition to the apple rain iWatch and Google smart watches, Samsung, LG, Motorola, Sony and other companies have already launched or will soon launch smart watches or sports monitoring products. Don't forget Qualcomm, Intel's biggest competitor in the mobile processor space, has launched the Toq smart watch. For tech giants,
According to Intel's product structure, perhaps it will not launch the actual hardware brand soon, but through the acquisition of Basis, the trend of wearable devices can be grasped more quickly and accurately. Obviously, with the decline in PC product sales and the success of Intel processors in the mobile product arena, starting from wearable devices is also the best development strategy at this stage.
Purpose of acquiring Basis: sensor
Although Basis has a relatively small market share compared to Fitbit and Jawbone products, its products contain more interesting sensors. In addition to the necessary accelerometers, BasisB1 can even track heart rate, skin temperature and sweating. A combination of data to achieve more accurate heat consumption data, which is perhaps what Intel values.
At the CES 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, Intel exhibited two interesting prototypes, one for wearable devices that monitor the baby's vital signs, and the other for heart rate monitoring earplugs, the key core technologies of both devices are clearly It is related to the sensor. Therefore, Intel needs to acquire more advanced sensor technology and practical application experience through acquisition behavior to create a new industry standard, just like the Core platform of the PC industry.
As of the deadline, Intel officials declined to comment on the acquisition rumors, and Basis did not respond.
