Many older tech companies that helped create the PC industry in the 1980s and 1990s have fared poorly more recently as smartphones and tablets redefined computing.&#xa0;
Now, they may have what amounts to a second chance with the internet's next evolutionary phase,&#xa0;the Internet of Things or IoT. The IoT will bring the web to many formerly unconnected home appliances, business devices, and even cities (e.g., smart parking meters).&#xa0;
We project that by 2019, there will be more than twice as many installed IoT devices as smartphones, tablets, and PCs combined.&#xa0;Furthermore, we estimate that the IoT market will generate roughly $600 billion in 2019 for companies that provide IoT products and services.&#xa0;
<a href="https://intelligence.businessinsider.com/why-the-internet-of-things-is-a-unique-opportunity-for-established-tech-players-2015-1">In new research from BI Intelligence</a>, we discuss why legacy tech companies - established chip makers, IT-consulting firms, and networking equipment manufacturers - are actually well positioned to take a major share of the Internet of Things market, and fend off startups.&#xa0;

Legacy Tech Companies Are Actually Well-Positioned To Win Against Startups In 'The Internet of Things' Market

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">YouTube/Qualcomm</div></div></div>Dr. Venkata "Murthy" Renduchintala, the former co-president of Qualcomm's main chip unit, <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20151120005868/en/Intel-Appoints-Dr.-Venkata-%E2%80%98Murthy%E2%80%99-Renduchintala-President">just left the company to join rival chipmaker Intel</a>.At Intel, Renduchintala will be the president of the Client and Internet of Things (IoT) Businesses and Systems Architecture Group, a newly created unit that combines a lot of units: Platform Engineering, Client Computing, IoT, Software and Services, and Design &amp; Technology Solutions groups.It's worth noting the Client Computing Group, which includes both the PC and mobile chips, and is Intel's largest revenue generator, is also looped under this group.Intel has historically made most of its money by providing chips for PCs, but with the shrinking PC market, it's been struggling to grow that part of the business. Instead, it's been focusing on data center chips and IoT chips to drive growth.The announcement <a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/qualcomm-names-cristiano-amon-president-of-qct-300181818.html">was made just a day after</a> Qualcomm promoted the other co-president Cristiano Amon as its executive VP, while making Renduchintala's departure official for the first time.According to Qualcomm, the move wasn't a sudden departure at all. In a statement sent to Business Insider, it said Renduchintala was given a few months to consider his next move. Here's what Qualcomm said:"A few months ago we made the decision to move away from a co-president leadership structure for QCT. Cristiano Amon was the clear choice as President of the chipset business. We made the decision to enhance the operation of QCT by having a single decision maker who has an exceptional track record of executing and has the confidence of the team and our customers. We are confident in Cristiano's leadership as we capitalize on the opportunities ahead. Murthy was offered another role within Qualcomm, but he chose to leave the company instead."Still, the announcement drew some question marks, considering Renduchintala's contribution to Qualcomm over tha last 20 years. He's considered to be one of the biggest names in the industry, having led Qualcomm's CDMA Technologies unit, but Qualcomm didn't have any mention of his work in yesterday's press release, only saying, "Murthy Renduchintala, who has served as QCT co-president for the past three years, will be leaving Qualcomm." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-headphones-tricks-features-2015-11">14 things you didn't know your iPhone headphones could do</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="o2OGM3czpWcydnvhjbkDBd6feXPuExiD" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

Intel just hired a Qualcomm bigwig to help expand its ailing PC business

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Kobby Dagan/ShutterstockAfter months of turmoil, Qualcomm is trying to refocus its attention on growing its product lines.</div></div></div><ul><li>Qualcomm makes the chips that power nearly every smartphone, but lately its name has been associated with a series of scandals - including a hostile take over attempt by its competitor Broadcom, which President Trump stopped with <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-order-regarding-proposed-takeover-qualcomm-incorporated-broadcom-limited/">a presidential order</a>. </li><li>Now the company has to prove to shareholders and the world that it can overcome its corporate challenges and focus on growing as a company.</li><li>In a conversation with Business Insider, Qualcomm President Cristiano Amon shared the company's plans to diversify its products away from just smartphones and mobile technologies.</li><li>Qualcomm plans to do this by doubling down on products that benefit from cellular technology, like automotive infotainment systems and virtual reality headsets.</li></ul><a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/qcom-stock">Qualcomm</a> makes the processors that power almost every smartphone, but it thinks it can be so much more. Its ambitions to grow beyond its bread-and-butter mobile business, however, have hit several challenges along the way - some of them coming from the White House.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">QualcommQualcomm President Cristiano Amon has a plan to grow Qualcomm.</div></div></div>It's been nearly 21 months since Qualcomm, the $85 billion San Diego-based semi-conductor company, <a href="https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2016/10/27/qualcomm-acquire-nxp">announced plans</a> to acquire its Dutch competitor NXP for $47 billion. In the meantime, the US entered <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-china-trade-war-tariffs-go-into-effect-soybeans-tech-2018-7?r=UK&amp;IR=T">a costly trade war</a> with China which has put Qualcomm's strategic acquisition in a non-stragegic position as a pawn in the game of global diplomacy. After getting the thumbs up from eight different global anti-trust regulators, the acquisition has stalled pending China's approval. The company continued to face even bigger battles in 2018. It fended off a hostile take over by competitor Broadcom; faced an on-going patent infringement court battle with Apple; and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/qualcomm-starting-layoffs-after-failed-broadcom-acquisition-2018-4">laid off a chunk of its staff</a> in an effort to reduce its expenses by $1 billion.Now, the company needs to prove to shareholders - and the world - that it can overcome all these hurdles, holdups, and hiccups. That's why it's doubling down on its product strategy, as it works to reestablish itself as a major player in the chip market, with or without NXP."It's been close to two years that we've been waiting the NXP acquisition, and a lot has happened in two years," Cristiano R. Amon, president of Qualcomm, told Business Insider. "We had built a diversified business already. NXP accelerates that strategy. It does not bring a new strategy, it just makes it bigger and faster."<h2>Mobile could shrink to half of Qualcomm's revenue</h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">SamsungMore than 80% of Qualcomm's product revenue comes from smartphone sales, but that could change if all goes according to plan.</div></div></div>Qualcomm made its name selling the semi-conductors that made smartphones possible. But its current product strategy is to go beyond mobile phones and expand its business in adjacent fields such as connected automotive, laptops with cellular internet connection, wifi networks, and virtual reality headsets."Think of us as everything wireless," said Amon, who described Qualcomm's focus as "high-performance, low-power computing." Amon wants to see Qualcomm's revenues reach a point where half comes from mobile devices and half from other kinds of gadgetry. But it has a long ways to go. Qualcomm brought in $16.5 billion in product revenue in its 2017 fiscal year. Of that, just $3 billion, or 18%, came from business segments other than mobile. Still, non-mobile revenues are fast growing; 2017 figures were up 25% from 2016 and 75% from 2015.While Qualcomm continues to develop its smartphone processors, mobile growth has also slowed in recent quarters due to the saturation of 4G cellular technology. But Amon expects that things will pick up once 5G devices are released in the Android ecosystem in the first half of 2019.By 2020, Amon expect 5G smartphones will be mainstream, which means good things for Qualcomm's bottom line, as manufacturers come back to the company for cutting-edge new wireless chipsets. "As we expect users to get addicted to the speeds, to unlimited data rates," Amon said, "we expect that the industry could go back to growing double digit rates by 2020."<h2>Virtual reality goggles are the next big use-case</h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Facebook Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor is in every new VR device, including the Oculus Go. </div></div></div>Qualcomm's next big market is virtual reality and augmented reality, which the company combines under the banner of "XR," or "extended reality. ""Today every single VR device is Snapdragon based," Amon said. Indeed, Facebook's Oculus Go, Google's Daydream and the HTC Vive Pro all run Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors. In May, Qualcomm announced a new XR chipset called the Snapdragon XR1. It includes everything you need to power a VR headset, including the WiFi antenna. But it doesn't have a cellular modem. At least, not yet.In future versions of these chips, that could change. Amon expects to see a boom in VR and AR once 5G is more widely available, and the headsets become less bulky and more elegant for users to carry around. He thinks small chips that use less energy will allow these devices to eventually look like your everyday eyeglasses. People may find themselves wearing cellular-connected augmented reality glasses that give people everything from news alerts to info about how much gas is in the tank while driving a car, he says. <h2>Eventually, everything will be connected </h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">LGThe LG Watch Urbane is one of 80% of Android smartwatches that use Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips within.</div></div></div>Outside of the mobile universe, Qualcomm envisions a world of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that connect to the internet as quickly and reliably as a cellphone. The move to 5G, combined with the push towards unlimited data, open up new doors for connected devices to have always-on internet connections the same way smartphones do. Already, Qualcomm has seen some success in the wearables market, where 80% of Android smartwatches use Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear chips, including the LG Watch Urbane. Down the road, particularly if the NXP acquisition goes through, Amon said that Qualcomm could grow its presence in the industrial IoT space, powering automated machinery and other large devices. "5G will bring the capability to have mission critical services - you never had in wireless the ability to support industrial grade internet, and you can use this now within enterprises and manufacturing sites, and create a whole new industry for cellular beyond smartphones," Amon said.. Two other growth areas for Qualcomm are networking, which is a unit that focuses on bringing high-quality WiFi connections to homes and offices, and connected laptops that are constantly on cellular networks just like smartphones.Its first laptop processor was released in June 2017. A year later, 25 telecom operators around the world started providing connectivity to these chips, including T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&amp;T and Deutsche Telekom.The latest edition of that chip, the Snapdragon 850, <a href="https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2018/06/04/qualcomm-announces-snapdragon-850-mobile-compute-platform-windows-10-pcs">was announced</a> in June. This chip will make its debut in a Samsung-made Windows 10 machine, though details of that particular computer are still yet to be revealed. <h2>Connected cars are already a 'success story' </h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesIn April, Qualcomm CEO Steve&#xa0;Mollenkopf revealed a $4 billion backlog in orders from automates and suppliers who intend to use Qualcomm chips.</div></div></div>One area of growth that Qualcomm already considers a success is its work with automotive partners. In April, CEO Steve Mollenkopf revealed on an earnings call that Qualcomm has a $4 billion backlog in orders from automakers and suppliers who have committed to using its processors in their designs. That's up $1 billion from January, when Qualcomm revealed $3 billion in back orders. "This is the one that has been a pretty big success story," Amon said. "We engage with of the top global 25 brands in the automotive market. We've engaged with over 15 now to design the dashboard and the infotainment. That has been a very successful new market entry."Qualcomm's 15-year-old auto portfolio includes chips for telematics - tools like in-car emergency assistance or GPS tracking in case a car gets stolen. It also sells processors to connect cars to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. But in the last four years, the company has increased its focus on car infotainment systems. As of January, infotainment sales accounted for $1 billion, or one-third, of the company's automotive backlog. And if the NXP deal goes through, Qualcomm will gain an even a greater foothold in the space. NXP has a large presence in non-connective automotive semiconductors that back features like car control and safety features, which Amon said could be combined with existing Qualcomm products. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/why-american-men-suck-soccer-world-cup-2018-6">Here's why the US Men's team sucks at soccer</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>
