Samsung has announced the launch of an Internet of Things (IoT) solution – the the Exynos i T100 – which enhances the security and reliability of devices designed for short-range communications.
It said in a press release the new Samsung IoT security solution Exynos i T100 was based on a power-efficient 28-nanometer (nm) process technology, and was optimised to be used with short-range IoT devices that automate and control environments within homes or businesses. These include a vast array of applications for such devices like smart lighting, home security and monitoring, temperature control, fire and gas detectors, and fitness wearables.
“Low-power short-range IoT solutions that connect various products in our homes or buildings can make our lives easier and safer,” said Ben Hur, Senior Vice President of System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics, in a statement. “The Exynos i T100, engineered with multiple communication protocols along with strong security capabilities, will help further extend IoT services in areas where they could benefit our everyday lives.”
The Samsung IoT security solution Exynos i T100 supports popular short-range communication protocols, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0 and Zigbee 3.0, and also integrates the processor with memory in a small single-chip package, all to enhance flexibility in the product development process of device manufacturers.
The Exynos i T100 comes with a separate Security Sub-System (SSS) hardware block for data encryption and a Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) that creates a unique identity for each chipset.
