6/8/04 | SECTOR WATCH | Embedded Systems: Smarter, Faster, Smaller & Everywhere!
What's Powering the Growth of the Embedded Systems Market?

An embedded system is a microprocessor - a tiny brain that lives inside many electronic devices - a small layer of complex technology will make every day life a little simpler. They will enable multiple electronic devices (from refrigerators to cars) to be connected to the Internet using wireless protocols.

Over 5 billion embedded systems have been shipped and scattered in various devices worldwide. With more chips being placed in more products, the growth of this market is staggering. Says Richard Newton, dean of the college of engineering at the University of California at Berkeley, 'Embedded systems will ultimately displace desktop computers for everything except very specific applications.

In this Sector Watch, produced by IBDNetwork and hosted by Rafe Needleman, we will provide a unique forum for the innovators and enablers to tell us about how they are faring in this growing market.
