Samsung has officially launched its first ultra-wideband (UWB) chipset, the Exynos Connect U100. The all-new UWB solution is basically optimized for use in mobile, automotive and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, offering precise distance and location information.
Apart from the U100, the South Korean tech giant also launched ‘Exynos Connect’, a new brand that consolidates its short-range wireless communication solutions, such as UWB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
“Our Exynos Connect U100 combines sophisticated ranging and positioning capabilities with strong security to enable hyper-connectivity between people and everyday objects, fueling a range of new applications in positioning and location tracking,” said Joonsuk Kim, Executive Vice President of the Connectivity Development Team at Samsung Electronics. “Building on our technology leadership in communications technologies, we are committed to driving innovation in short-range communication solutions to transform the way we connect and relate to the world around us.”
Samsung’s Exynos Connect U100 provides an accuracy of single-digit centimeters and under five degrees. This makes it especially useful when tracking location in challenging indoor environments where GPS is unavailable as well as for AR and VR applications that require exact and real-time tracking of moving people.
The U100 integrates radio frequency (RF), baseband, embedded Flash (eFlash) memory and power management IP into a single chip, making it ideal for use in compact devices. It also helpful on the digital key standard Car Connectivity Consortium Digital Key Release 3.0.
Meanwhile, for reliable and better communication, the U100 is also equipped with a scrambled timestamp sequence (STS) function. According to the official information, the latest Samsung Exynos Connect U100 has also been certified by the FiRa Consortium.
