Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) January 08, 2014 -- Weaved, a worldwide technology leader in Internet-of-Everything (IoE) web-based connectivity services announced their partnerships today with Gemtek, a world-leading provider of wireless broadband solutions, and Tatung, a global leader in OEM/ODM services, to collaborate on HeadStart Kits for connected-device developers. HeadStart is the first and only complete hardware and software design kit that enables the next wave of IoE devices to market in record time and with minimal upfront development costs. HeadStart kits are also expected to provide the ideal connected device platform to address the grassroots effort by millions of developers worldwide to prototype innovative new connected devices and unique applications.

Everyday projects are being launched to bring a new class of connected-devices to market for consumers and businesses alike. Early success stories like Wi-Fi cameras (home video surveillance), thermostats (home energy management), or smart plugs and lighting products have proven the market for connected-devices is robust and growing faster than any other hardware product category. The market research firm ABI Research’s (UK) latest data on the Internet-of-Everything (IoE) shows that there are more than 10 billion wirelessly connected devices in the market today; with over 30 billion devices expected by 2020.

In addition, developer targeted products like open, small form-factor computer platforms, and 3D printers, have proven that millions of developers worldwide, small and large, are willing to purchase an affordable, standardized hardware platform with embedded software to rapidly prototype unique solutions for their own needs.

Ryo Koyama, CEO of Weaved, explained “The mass adoption of mobile computing, has put ‘remote controls’ in the hands of consumers, which in turn is driving the demand for smarter devices, which in turn is spurring dozens of successful crowd sourced IOE campaigns. Unfortunately, many of these projects stall in the step from prototype to volume production. In the same way that Amazon transformed the web 2.0 industry by having a ready for market platform, we expect the Headstart kits to impact the IOE market with complete ready for market services, software and hardware. Developers can innovate with the assurance that a billion dollar ODM is just a phone call away for volume production.”

Dr. Alan Pan, Chief Strategy Officer for the Consumer Business Group of Tatung stated, “Tatung has successfully re-engineered its business process of ODM/OEM. We aim at building an infrastructure to seamlessly integrate all phases of product design, engineering/testing, and production for customers who are looking for quick time-to-market based on our pre-tested hardware. This change is necessary in order to serve the uprising community-supported, product innovation business opportunities.” Dr. Pan further commented, “Weaved is a leader in fostering an application development platform that can well align with our selection of hardware. We are pleased to partner with Weaved in accomplishing this goal. ”    

Chih-Hsu Yen, BU General Manager at Gemtek Taiwan added “Many connected device projects fail for lack of mass-production worthy hardware. At Gemtek we are experts in wireless broadband hardware design, mandatory global compliance testing, packaging, and volume manufacturing with the reliability consumer’s demand. Gemtek is partnering with Weaved to create a complete bundle of hardware and software resources for IoE device developers”

The HeadStart Kit contains all the essential pieces to quickly build a connected device controlled over the Internet from a Smartphone App, mobile device, or browser. In addition, existing devices can easily become “connected” and controlled over the Internet by integrating and embedding the HeadStart Kit into their existing design.
