Our Internet of Things Group operating segment offers platforms for customers to design products for the retail, transportation,
industrial, and buildings and home market segments. In addition, the Internet of Things Group (IOTG) focuses on establishing an
end-to-end secure and manageable architecture that captures actionable information for consumers. In 2014, we shipped our first
Intel Quark SoC 32-bit microprocessor. We also launched the Intel
®
Edison development platform, which is designed to empower
the next generation of wearables, robotics, and other small devices connecting, creating, and consuming data.
Our Mobile and Communications Group operating segment offers products that incorporate hardware, software, and
connectivity for tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices. In addition, our Mobile and Communications Group (MCG)
focuses on a broad range of wireless connectivity options by combining Intel
®
WiFi technology with our 2G and 3G technologies,
and creating a path to accelerate industry adoption of 4G LTE. In 2014, we began selling our second-generation LTE solution,
featuring CAT6 and carrier aggregation. In addition, MCG developed the first Intel Atom SoC application processor integrated with
leading global 3G modem, code-named “SoFIA.” SoFIA is designed for the entry and value mobile devices market segment.
Our software and services operating segments seek to create differentiated user experiences on Intel
®
-based platforms. We
differentiate by combining Intel platform features and enhanced software and services. Our three primary initiatives are:
enabling platforms that can be used across multiple operating systems, applications, and services across all Intel products;
optimizing features and performance by enabling the software ecosystem to quickly take advantage of new platform features
and capabilities; and
enable a more secure online experience by using software, services, and hardware to deliver comprehensive solutions, such
as our McAfee LiveSafe* service, which provides a comprehensive security suite that offers consumer protection across a
range of devices such as PCs, tablets, and smartphones.
