Samsung’s new Exynos i S111 IoT chip can communicate over long distances with very little power
Samsung’s new Exynos i S111 IoT chip can communicate over long distances with very little power Being a dominant force in the semiconductor market, Samsung sees a huge potential in the IoT space. The company has been launching many IoT-specific solutions to cater to a wide range of customers and use cases. The newest in these launches is the Exynos i S111 NB-IoT chip that can communicate over long distances with very little power. IoT devices in confined spaces rely on connectivity standards like Bluetooth and ZigBee for transferring data. They work well for short-range scenarios but are not fit for long-range IoT connectivity, which is where the NB (Narrowband)-IoT comes into the picture. NB-IoT is a low-power 3GPP connectivity standard for transferring small amounts of data reliably, securely and power efficiently over long distances. As an NB-IoT solution, Samsung’s Exynos i S111 chip combines wide coverage, low-power, accurate location info, and security to make it su...
