Samsung outlines its 2020 vision ● By Sean Hannam
KOREAN electronics giant Samsung is working hard to make all its products IoT (Internet of Things) ready by 2020.
Speaking at this year’s CES in Las Vegas, Samsung’s president and head of its consumer electronics division and Samsung Research, Hyunsuk (HS) Kim said: “At Samsung, we believe IoT should be as easy as flipping a switch. With the new products and services announced today, we’re making IoT easier and more seamless.
“We’re committed to accelerating IoT adoption for everyone and making all Samsung connected devices intelligent by 2020. These advancements will help consumers realise the benefits of a seamless and simple connected life.”
Samsung said its IoT philosophy is built on open innovation – making it accessible to more people. It believes that today’s fragmented and complex IoT ecosystem is a barrier to adoption.
For IoT to be approachable and accessible, it requires scale and open innovation, said Samsung. Thanks to a robust portfolio of products including TVs, appliances and smartphones, and its leadership in delivering 5G connectivity, Samsung said it is well positioned to deliver an open IoT ecosystem via its SmartThings connected home platform.
The company is working with partners such as the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) to set common industry standards. OCF is said to be the largest IoT standardisation body in the world. Samsung’s ARTIK
