Samsung Electronics Launches Matter Functionality, Ushering a New Era of Interoperability

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 09:00:28 +0000

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the availability of Matter functionality, allowing for seamless device control via the SmartThings app[1]. SmartThings hubs will receive an over-the-air update and the SmartThings Android app can be updated to provide capability to control all Matter-compatible devices. Through this update, SmartThings users can control their Matter compatible devices[2] from a single application, instead of using multiple apps from different device manufacturers.

As a pioneer in the smart home industry, Samsung has been a key contributor to the development of Matter from the very beginning and was one of the first companies to receive Matter certification. Earlier this year, Samsung revealed TVs and Family Hub refrigerators[3] that were selected to be updated to support Matter Controller functionality, simplifying experiences with both Samsung and third-party devices. In May 2022, SmartThings announced its Partner Early Access Program[4], the next step toward a Matter-compatible ecosystem, which granted select partners a head start in testing the Matter-supporting SmartThings hub and mobile software.

Today marks the most significant milestone yet toward mass smart home adoption.”

SmartThings supports a feature called multi-admin, which allows users to control their Matter compatible devices from multiple platforms and apps. Earlier this year, Samsung and Google announced an expanded partnership to take multi-admin support to the next level, improving interoperability and offering better user experiences. SmartThings’ open platform offers one of the largest integrated ecosystems, and Matter-certified products will be rolled out across brands including Google Nest, Eve Systems, Nanoleaf, Yale, and more.

SmartThings’ Matter Controller support will begin with the second and third generations of the SmartThings Hub, as well as the Aeotec Smart Home Hub. All hubs will continue to support Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Local Area Network devices, including Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and will be upgraded over-the-network to enable support for Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Thread-based Matter devices.[5]

“We are committed to maintaining support for existing protocols while also helping the industry transition to a future built on Matter,” said Mark Tekippe, Vice President of Product at SmartThings and Connectivity Standards Alliance Board Member. “SmartThings has always provided customers with flexible connectivity options including Zigbee and Z-Wave. Adding support for Matter and Thread helps to ensure SmartThings remains a versatile ecosystem for consumers looking to build or expand their smart homes.”

Australian businesses to set roadmap for 5G adoption

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 19:49:00 +0000

Samsung Electronics Australia, in partnership with Tech Research Asia (TRA), has today announced the launch of 5G for Business in Australia, a research report and whitepaper designed to explore how the advent of 5G networks, devices and services can support the goals of Australian businesses. The report also explores perceptions, awareness and levels of understanding that Australian business hold in relation to the availability and advent of 5G mobile technology.

5G for Business in Australia research methodology delved into the views of more than 800 technology decision makers from a cross-section of industries to help shape a view of how businesses are considering the implications of 5G and their readiness to adopt.

The report revealed that almost a quarter (24%) of businesses in Australia intend to adopt 5G services for business in the coming 18 months, with almost 80% of Australian businesses set to adopt 5G related mobility services within the next three years. These findings set the tone for the potential roadmap of adoption of 5G by Australian businesses.

Danny Mandrides, Head of Enterprise and Government, IT and Mobile, Samsung Electronics Australia said: “There is no doubt that 5G is both a trigger and an engine that will transform the way Australians live and work, but also how businesses operate in an increasingly mobile driven economy. Now more than ever before Australian businesses are telling us that they demand the bandwidth, stability, and opportunities that 5G will bring.

“At Samsung, we want to help ensure our customers and partners develop the best possible approach to adopting the latest in network and device services and this includes building our respective understanding for how innovations in 5G can help break barriers and solve real challenges for Australian organisations,” Mandrides added.

The report also explores the potential concerns and barriers that organisations are considering in relation to 5G, as well as the perceived benefits of the greater 5G connectivity, network availability, and device capability that it will offer workforces.

Key findings have also revealed a keen interest in the potential applications of 5G mobile devices, as well as Fixed Wireless Access (FWA). Approximately 37% of Australian businesses are taking a “Considered” approach to 5G adoption, while 24% are being either “Aggressive” (at 12%) or “Opportunistic” (at 12%) in terms of rapid or early adoption of 5G respectively. 18% of participants said that their adoption plans would be “Gradual” and in line with network deployments while 16% stated that they have no specific strategy until 5G is “Ubiquitous”. Just 4% of respondents classified their approach to 5G in a “Deliberation” stage where they are needing to determine the actual benefits and availability of 5G.

Tim Dillon, Founder and Director at TRA said: “Australian businesses are at the global forefront in terms of their position to be leaders in exploring new territories and capabilities associated with 5G powered products and services. We will see rapid change in the coming years for how people bolster their business operations and strategy with 5G powered services.

“There is naturally a degree of intrigue, interest, excitement, and keenness from businesses to understand how they should be thinking about what the future may bring, which is why it’s critical they build their understanding of 5G and develop a plan that can be actioned to deliver solid outcomes and avoid potential pitfalls or redundant investments,” Dillon added.

Australian businesses recognised that the benefit of 5G extends beyond speed, including other major capabilities such as edge computing, multi-device connectivity, low network latency and network slicing. Organisations see 5G enhancing their current and future operations in areas including customer engagement, data access and management, supporting cloud services consumption and facilitation of intelligent workplaces.

“It’s incredibly important for Samsung to ensure that we understand the needs of Australian business and where our 5G enabled products, solutions, and partnerships can provide value and enrich their operations in next stage of our mobile economy,” Mandrides added.

5G for Business in Australia includes a 5G readiness checklist designed to help businesses better understand the key factors involved in making decisions related to the next stage in network connectivity. The checklist considers the role and impact of devices, network deployment, existing and planned digital strategies, workplace environments, compliance and other key elements that businesses may wish to take into account.

Australian businesses recognise the need for 5G services

68% of Australian businesses feel that their operations are constrained by current network performance, and 60% of businesses feel there is a need for 5G services to meet business needs above current 4G connectivity.

While early 5G solutions implemented by businesses will focus on bandwidth-centric approaches, the report has indicated that they will seek to quickly develop and integrate higher value-added solutions such as slicing and edge computing. These solutions present the opportunity to implement IoT, AI-supported decision-making tools, predictive analytics and real-time data.

Despite the strong rates of expected adoption, the report identified that 1 in 2 (50%) of Australian businesses feel they require additional information to understand exactly why 5G is a better solution than current 4G. Businesses are also anticipating some challenges during the adoption of 5G services, specifically around pricing, device availability and network coverage.

In addition to research and insights, Samsung has announced that it is already collaborating with a number of Australian organisations in relation to trial mobility programs that involve 5G.

5G is already impacting Australian business through collaboration with Samsung:

Improved customer service and engagement in the consumer banking sector: A major Australian bank is trialling 5G branch connectivity linked to smartphones and Samsung’s DeX solution, ensuring seamless connectivity and information access for its mobile customer service and banking employees.

Data management, information access, health and safety/asset protection for government and emergency services: An Australian AI company that has created 5G connected drones to undertake aerial surveillance of areas under bush fire threat equipped with AI to identify issues and assets on the ground in real-time to assist emergency service and fire crews.

Intelligent workstyles, costs reductions and efficiencies in the manufacturing sector: A production site connecting multiple device sensors combined with AI analytics to a smart device dashboard app that provides real-time information on manufacturing performance and quality to reduce defects and materials costs.

How Australian businesses can be 5G ready

Every organisation is different and will take a unique approach to adoption. The 5G for Business in Australia report advises businesses to consider several factors to inform its approach to the adoption of 5G technology.

Businesses should:

1. Understand network deployment and handset availability

2. Determine unique device needs

3. Understand the service provider’s 5G strategy

4. Consider how 5G compliments the company’s overall digital strategy

5. Determine all possible business cases

6. Understand how future data needs may change

Telstra unveils landmark 5G upgrade offer with Samsung

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 18:37:17 +0000

Telstra customers will be able to upgrade to the 5G future thanks to a landmark partnership with Samsung, following the unveiling of its first 5G-enabled smartphone – the Galaxy S10 5G.

Telstra Consumer Segment Executive Kevin Teoh joined Samsung executives today at Unpacked, which showcased three new 4GX-capable smartphones – the Galaxy S10e, S10 and S10+ – to be released on 08 March and the Galaxy S10 5G, which will come later in the year.

Under the partnership, the Galaxy S10 5G will be available first through Telstra when the smartphone is launched in Australia. In a further win for customers, anyone who purchases a Samsung S10+ through Telstra will be able to upgrade to the 5G-capable Galaxy S10 5G at no extra cost when it is released.

“Telstra has been a global leader in the testing, development and rollout of 5G in Australia and now our customers will be among the first in the world to experience it with Samsung,” Mr Teoh said.

“This delivers the best of both mobile worlds for our customers. Getting their hands on a smartphone by one of the world’s biggest brands, powered by our world leading 4GX technology, and then being able to upgrade to the next generation in mobile technology later in the year is an exciting opportunity that we are looking forward to sharing with them.

“5G-enabled devices are the next step towards customers experiencing the potential of this revolutionary technology with faster downloads, high resolution video streaming with less buffering and better mobile gaming on the go on their new 5G device just the start of its capabilities.

“5G’s ultrafast speeds and lower latency will throw open new digital doors for businesses in particular, so this upgrade offer will also be available to our small and medium business customers. The partnership will also enable a number of strong value offers on Samsung handsets, for small and medium business fleet customers.”

“Under the partnership, the Galaxy S10 5G will be available through Telstra before any other Australian mobile operator when it is released in the first half of 2019.

“With more than 200 Telstra 5G-enabled mobile sites online across the nation and growing, our customers taking up this offer will be at the forefront of this revolutionary technology as well as enjoying the multiple cameras, wireless power sharing, stunning display, sonic fingerprint security and other exciting features on these new Samsung smartphones.”

Customers will also experience the fastest 4G speeds available via our 4GX coverage whenever they are outside of the 5G footprint.

Samsung Vice President, Mobile Division, Garry McGregor said the partnership with Telstra would open up new possibilities to Australian customers.

“Telstra and Samsung have already accomplished a number of Australian firsts together. We achieved the first smartphone 1 Gigabit per second (1Gbps) download on a commercial mobile network on the S9 series last year and we look forward to achieving even more milestones together soon,” Mr McGregor said.

“The arrival of 5G will be a true game-changer for the mobile industry. Samsung is extremely proud to be working closely with Telstra so our Australian customers can be among the first in the world to experience 5G.”

The partnerships are yet another demonstration of Telstra’s 5G leadership, adding to a growing list of national and global firsts including:

Unveiling the world’s first connection of a 5G mid-band commercial device
