You know Android is the king of smartphone when you get numbers like this – a report online shared that the OS from Google is currently holding about 86.2% of the world smartphone market share for the first half of 2016. Trailing way behind is iOS with under 12%.  

Huawei recently announced it's Agile Network 3.0 Architecture at the Huawei Network congress 2015. As part of this architecture, Huawei introduced the Agile Internet of Things (IoT) solution which consists of the Agile IoT gateway, Agile Controller and LiteOS which is a lightweight IoT operating system (OS). This LiteOS is only 10KB in size (1MB = 1000KB) and offers basic OS functions like configuration, auto-discovery and auto-networking. Designed for smart homes, wearables, connected vehicles and more, LiteOS will be be opened to all developers soon but there are no specific Malaysia release dates, pricing details or information on which devices may be using it. Here's what they had to say about it:

“Huawei believes that standardizing ICT infrastructure will foster the development of Internet applications, including IoT applications. To address this, Huawei is launching our IoT OS, LiteOS. Mr. William Xu, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, Huawei

“Over the last three years, Huawei has been involved in a number of in-depth technological collaborations with our global industry partners in IoT. We have developed a series of IoT solutions that have already been applied to buildings, electricity meters, vehicles, gymnasiums, factories, retail outlets, and street lights. In line with our approach to provide BDII, Huawei will continue to work with more partners to launch solutions based on our Agile Network architecture for different vertical industries.” Liu Shaowei, President, Switch and Enterprise Communication Product Line, Huawei
