With more widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT)—including for industrial, medical and other applications—it is clear that smaller form factors and the need for speed and efficiency will continue to provide challenges to product developers and designers.
Interface specifications from the MIPI Alliance have been engineered and refined through mobile’s 3G and 4G eras specifically to meet these sorts of challenges of the unfolding 5G world.
Take MIPI I3C, for example.
MIPI I3C was launched in 2017 to streamline sensor integration in the small, space-constrained form factors of IoT devices, as well as smartphones, wearables and other mobile-connected products.
