• Nasdaq-listed technology innovator, Qualcomm, will form a tripartite alliance with Bkav and Excelpoint to create a complete ecosystem for AIoT applications
• AIoT is the next transformational technology trend via the combination of two powerful technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and the internet of things (IoT) infrastructure
• According to a report by ResearchAndMarkets.com, the global AIoT market will reach US$83.6 billion by 2027, growing at 39.1% compounded growth rate per annum
• Enabling New Business Opportunities and Innovations within the AIoT Technology Spectrum

Singapore-based Excelpoint Systems (Pte) Ltd. (Excelpoint), a leading regional B-to-B business platform providing quality electronics components with integrated R&D capabilities, and Bkav Hardware Solution (BHS), a member of Vietnam-based Bkav Corporation (Bkav) that is a technology group that specialises in cyber security, software, e-government, smartphone manufacturing and smart electronic devices, Smart City and AI camera, are pleased to announce the signing of a strategic collaboration to develop and commercialise an Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) platform built on Qualcomm chipsets and technology ecosystem.

AIoT is the combination of two powerful technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and the internet of things (IoT) infrastructure, where such AIoT devices and applications can analyse data and make decisions and act on that data without involvement by humans, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness.

In the near future, it is anticipated that AIoT integration within businesses and industries (such as Smart Cities, Smart Homes, Industrial 4.0, Smart Retail Chains, Autonomous Vehicles, among others) will ultimately lead to more sophisticated and valuable inter-business and cross-industry solutions.

According to a report by ResearchAndMarkets.com, the global AIoT market will reach US$83.6 billion by 2027, growing at 39.1% compounded growth rate per annum.

Tripartite alliance between Qualcomm, Excelpoint and Bkav to develop and commericalise AIoT platform that facilitates the creation of new AIoT devices and innovations

While there is increasing proliferation of AIoT devices and applications, there are limited commercially-ready AIoT platforms and development kits as there are not many technology companies that can produce AIoT devices and applications across this specialised technological value chain, from hardware to software development.

With the tripartite alliance between Qualcomm, Excelpoint, and Bkav to create a complete ecosystem for AIoT applications, it can enable businesses and communities to seamlessly adopt and integrate AIoT technology with optimal costs and time efficiency, thereby creating new business opportunities and innovations within the AIoT technology spectrum.
