The cloud is becoming ever more sophisticated with deep learning to process the world around us - images, documents, sounds, speech, gestures, faces and expressions. But the cloud cannot see or hear, it can only process what is sent to it. To take advantage of the cloud and its sophisticated processing, smart edge devices are needed - devices that can take in images and sounds, grasp the context, and determine when to engage the powerful processing in the cloud. That is where QBit technology comes in. QBit Semiconductor designs system-on-chip (SOC) integrated circuits for smart imaging devices and other smart edge devices. Formed in 2016 by a team of former Qualcomm imaging engineers, QBit is based in Taipei, Taiwan with a design center in Littleton, Massachusetts, located outside Boston. QBit is a New Kinpo Group subsidiary company.
