Qualcomm pitches itself as the go-to player for IoT

The stars of smartphones want to become legends in the Internet of Things, a world that could become much bigger than cellular but will require more than handset experience for a winning run.
Just days after Samsung unveiled its Artik hardware-software modules for IoT devices, Qualcomm introduced its own IoT systems on Thursday and put a stake in the ground.
Both companies say what they've learned building the guts of mobile phones translates pretty well into some categories of IoT. But like Intel and others, each is using the breadth of its technology to argue it's fit to take on the IoT challenge.
