* | ** BMW announced it will offer voice connectivity on new vehicles [http://www.autotrader.com/car-news/bmw-teams-up-with-amazons-alexa-for-vehicle-connectivity-257878 using Amazon's Alexa service]. The new feature will be available though the upgraded BMW Connected smartphone app later this month. A BMW owner will be able to perform checks, such as vehicle battery charge and fuel levels, and use commands, like "lock doors," through the Amazon Echo device to control their vehicles. The Alexa integration will also send navigation directions to the car and alert drivers when it's time to leave for a planned trip. While this is big news for BMW, Hyundai'snew Genesis luxury division was the first to offer access to car functions using Alexa voice commands. | ||

DT says its platform aims to play the role of interpreter and distributor, collecting data from connected evices and routing it through gateways to the customer's preferred platform for processing. It will support several different IoT services including Microsoft’s Azure platform, Cisco’s Fog Computing service, and Huawei’s cloud platform. | |||
** Cisco has teamed with Salesforce to [https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/news/cisco-works-salesforce-cloud-iot/2016/09/ jointly develop and market] cloud and IoT products. For cloud, the two will integrate Cisco Spark and WebEx into Salesforce's Sales Cloud and Service Cloud. With the integration, joint customers will be able to communicxate using Cisco's chat, video and voice applications without leaving Salesforce. The companies will also integrate Cisco Jasper and the Salesforce IoT Cloud to provide businesses with a more comprehensive view of their IoT services. | |||
** Arrayent, which provides a consumer IoT platform, [http://finance.yahoo.com/news/arrayent-becomes-first-consumer-iot-150000912.html announced] that it has received EU-US Privacy Shield certification with the US Department of Commerce. The certification verifies that Arrayent's IoT platform manages data in a way that is compliant with the new Privacy Shield EU data transfer privacy framework.
