On June 2, Canonical had the great pleasure of announcing that they would join forces with Intel, one of the world’s biggest hardware manufacturers, to collaborate on Intel’s IoT (Internet of Things) gateways and Canonical’s Snappy Ubuntu Core operating system for IoT devices.

The IoT gateway device developed by Intel and powered by Ubuntu Snappy will come with built-in support for Snap Stores, which offer a unique model that allows multiple apps to be deployed on Intel’s Internet of Things gateway, transforming it into a platform for multiple sectors, including energy management, media, lighting, health, and security.
