Blackberry building data-collecting system

BLACKBERRY said Wednesday it was building a system to make sense of the maelstrom of information from the “Internet of Things” that ranges from cars to appliances and watches.

A series of initiatives codenamed Project Ion are being woven to create a platform in the Internet “cloud” that businesses can use to collect data from smart devices of all kinds and derive insights in real time.

“As connectivity costs continue to fall and connected technologies become pervasive, a new market is emerging — the Internet of Things,” BlackBerry CEO John Chen said.

The Internet of Things refers to the trend of sensors or computer chips along with online capabilities being built into once “dumb” devices ranging from watches to thermostats or household appliances.
