Samsung: Samsung is making another attempt to take on Apple AirTag, here’s how – Times of India
Back in 2021, Samsung launched the Galaxy SmartTag to compete with the likes of Tile and Apple AirTag. Somehow the Galaxy SmartTag never created that much of a buzz, even when it had all the tech that needed to locate lost items. Samsung now is upping the ante in the ultra-wideband space — the tech used in AirTag and other trackers — by launching its first dedicated chipset.
Samsung has announced its first ultra-wideband (UWB) chipset, the Exynos Connect U100. Samsung claims that with single-digit centimetre accuracy, the new UWB solution is optimised for use in mobile, automotive and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, offering precise distance and location information.
Smart trackers and more: Using UWB processor
Ultra-wide band is a short-range wireless communication technology that operates over a broad frequency spectrum, allowing for fast data transfers at low power. Apple gives it with iPhones and other devices. Samsung has it with Galaxy S and Fold series of devices. UWB is also used in smart keys, smart homes and smart factories.
Samsung says that its latest processor “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 processor has radio frequency (RF), baseband, embedded Flash (eFlash) memory and power management IP into a single chip, making it ideal for use in compact devices — like smart trackers.
The South Korean electronics firm further claims that the U100 can maximiSe the battery life of mobile and automotive solutions as well as IoT devices like smart tracking tags that run on batteries with limited power capacity. For reliable communication, the U100 is also equipped with a scrambled timestamp sequence (STS) function and a secure hardware encryption engine to prevent external hacking.
Samsung also unveiled ‘Exynos Connect’, a new brand that consolidates its short-range wireless communication solutions, such as UWB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
