Intel opens IoT innovation lab in Swindon

Intel has opened its fourth innovation centre for the Internet of Things (IoT). Located in Swindon at the same place as its EMEA sales and marketing HQ, the new centre will be available for companies to view, test and evaluate Intel's IoT solutions.

Specifically, Intel says it will be working to address solutions needed for smart buildings, the retail sector and transport. The space may also be used for educational workshops with local schools to learn hardware and software development. "This ignition lab will provide our customers a place to build and test end to end IoT solutions that will transform our businesses and everyday lives," said Rod O'Shea, EMEA IoT marketing director at Intel. "We pride ourselves in bringing innovative solutions to market and these labs are a testimony to our commitment to this space."
