Samsung announce ARTIK Internet of Things platform

Samsung ARTIKTM is a new platform for development of enterprise and consumer applications for Intenet of Things (IoT). ARTIK will be open platform and will come with three different modules (production ready), advanced software, dev boards, drivers and more. This will be Samsung’s official entry into IoT area.

“We are providing the industry’s most advanced, open and secure platform for developing IoT products”, said Young Sohn, president and chief strategy officer, Samsung Electronics. “By leveraging Samsung’s high-volume manufacturing, advanced silicon process and packaging technologies, and extensive ecosystem, ARTIK allows developers to rapidly turn great ideas into market leading IoT products and applications.”

ARTIK 1 modules is the smallest of the three, with 12mm x 12mm sizeand has built in Bluetooth connectivity, 9 axis sensor and is designed for low power small form factor IoT applications. ARTIK 5 is a bit more powerful and has a 1GHz dual core processor, onboard RAM and flash storage. ARTIK 10 is the biggest of the three and has an 8 core processor for high performance IoT devices. ARTIK 10 supports FullHD video decoding/encoding, 5.1 audio. There is 2GB of built in RAM and 16GB of flash storage. Also, there is built in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee connectivity.

 “Industry requirements for IoT devices vary in terms of battery life, computational horse power and form factor,” said Sohn. “With this family of ARTIK offerings, Samsung is directly addressing the needs of the widest range of customers, uses and applications.”

Samsung ARTIK features

• Security and Privacy: The ARTIK platform offers a best-in-class, end-to-end security solution. At the hardware level, ARTIK contains am embedded secure element that goes beyond software-based encryption solutions alone. At the application level, ARTIK is equipped with a machine learning based anomaly detection system. This allows the user to identify abnormalities and unusual behavior in order to address possible hacking or intrusion activity.
• IoT Software Stack: Samsung’s ARTIK platform comes with an extensive IoT software stack and tools needed to accelerate product development. Developers can go directly to application framework development, instead of spending time building low-level software libraries.
• Local Storage and Computational Capability: ARTIK supports unique local storage and computational capabilities that in most current IoT environments are generally only addressable by large-scale cloud servers. Depending on user requirements, data can be managed locally or in the cloud in encrypted or unencrypted formats.
• Low-Power Architecture: The ARTIK platform offers best-in-class power consumption to enable longer battery life for battery operated IoT devices like wearables. The platform includes a tiered architecture that allows applications and tasks to run at the right power- optimized performance and memory utilization.
• Small Form Factor: All ARTIK modules offer the smallest form factor in their class. Certain ARTIK modules use Samsung’s next generation ePoP (embedded Package-on-Package) technology. Samsung Electromechanics, a global leader in component manufacturing, played a key role in developing advanced packaging technology for ARTIK.
• Connectivity: Depending on the configuration, the ARTIK family offers all major connectivity protocols including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (including BLE) and ZigBee.
