For instance, Samsung has been paving the way for 5G for many years, leveraging its deep expertise in networks, chips and hardware solutions. Combined with HARMAN\u2019S automotive knowledge, we are positioned to be one of the first companies prepared to integrate 5G into the connected car. That\u2019s why one of the first initiatives we <a href=\"http:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/harman-and-samsung-unveil-the-future-of-connectivity-and-autonomous-driving-at-ces-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">launched<\/a>\u00a0as partners was a Strategic Business Unit dedicated to developing key technologies for safer, smarter, connected cars.<\/p>\n<p>Safety, of course, is a top priority for us as we work towards a tech-forward but consumer-friendly and secure product offering. For example, at CES this year, we debuted the industry\u2019s first 5G-ready telematics platform\u00a0that allows cars to communicate directly with objects outside the vehicle such as traffic lights and other cars.The platform works effectively because of Samsung\u2019s 5G solution working hand in hand with HARMAN\u2019s expertise in making automotive grade systems and our industry-leading Over-The-Air (OTA) and cyber security solutions.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20127\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14124509\/Telematics.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20127\" class=\"wp-image-20127 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14124509\/Telematics-600x338.gif\" alt=\"5G-ready telematics platform Samsung Harman\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14124509\/Telematics-600x338.gif 600w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14124509\/Telematics-949x534.gif 949w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-20127\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">5G-ready telematics platform<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Also at CES, we launched the <a href=\"http:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsungs-digital-cockpit-future-connected-car-ces2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">connected cockpit dashboard <\/a>which converts the traditional dash of a car into a customizable, seamless instrument panel providing infotainment and IoT services across multiple displays. HARMAN\u2019s engineering streamlines the disparate operating systems within a car, and coupled with Samsung\u2019s consumer tech and sleek product design, we\u2019ve created a beautiful, functional and scalable experience for drivers and passengers.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, at Mobile World Congress, Samsung and HARMAN announced that we will build and provide complete, secure, end-to-end solutions using the Samsung ARTIK Smart IoT platform for areas such as manufacturing, healthcare, smart cities, smart homes and smart buildings. We also recently have announced an engineering partnership with <a href=\"http:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/powered-bixby-smartthings-samsung-unveils-intelligent-connected-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Samsung SmartThings<\/a>, the industry leader for consumer IoT technology and the easiest way for people to turn any traditional home into a smart home with interoperating sensors, smart devices and a native mobile application. With the help of HARMAN\u2019s Connected Services software development team, based in Mountain View, California, this will accelerate SmartThings product and app development. In HARMAN\u2019s Professional Solutions business, headquartered in Northridge, California, we are bringing the best of video and audio together for the ultimate cinematic experience. And in consumer electronics, we are bundling HARMAN\u2019s AKG offerings with Samsung\u2019s mobile devices. Indeed, we have a unique opportunity to bring Harman\u2019s best in class audio expertise and Samsung\u2019s leading edge video capabilities together to leave the competition behind in all segments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14125009\/1aApuU0ixPZqebNrbQCJKXQ.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20008 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14125009\/1aApuU0ixPZqebNrbQCJKXQ-600x302.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14125009\/1aApuU0ixPZqebNrbQCJKXQ-600x302.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14125009\/1aApuU0ixPZqebNrbQCJKXQ-950x479.jpeg 950w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14125009\/1aApuU0ixPZqebNrbQCJKXQ.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While we\u2019re accelerating our own product development, we\u2019re also helping lead the industry through our partnership with <u>5GAA<\/u>, a global consortium that unites carriers, chip manufacturers, automakers and suppliers into one collaborative cohort.
