Thématique de la présentation :
La ville connectée, la maison connectée, les infrastructures connectées sont autant de challenges techniques ou les technologies électroniques à base de silicium peuvent apporter des solutions. Il est clair que ce marché encore naissant est difficile à appréhender surtout pour les vendeurs de silicium qui se trouvent assez loin dans la chaine de valeur. Néanmoins l’apport des technologies électroniques est déterminant dans la mise au point de nouveau type de capteurs, de technologies de communication robustes, de traitement des données performants tout ceci dans des budgets de consommation énergétique très contraints. La longue expérience de ST dans le développement de solutions performantes mais néanmoins économes en énergie est un élément important pour la fourniture de solutions efficaces compatibles avec les nouveaux besoins de ces marchés emergeants.
