																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. recently unveiled the new Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G, the latest editions of its popular Galaxy A series, bringing powerful mobile AI (artificial intelligence) innovations and enriched Awesome Intelligence to more users around the world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Designed to make everyday experiences simpler, smarter, and more intuitive, the new Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G reflect Samsung’s ongoing commitment to democratising artificial intelligence. By expanding AI capabilities across more accessible devices, Samsung continues to empower users to do more with the technology in their hands, from capturing meaningful moments to enhancing everyday productivity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As part of celebrating the launch locally, Samsung South Africa is turning the spotlight on one of the devices’ standout features: the powerful camera, with which you’ll never miss the shot<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>. In collaboration with one of Mzansi’s leading film production companies, Samsung has produced a dynamic new film that captures how South Africans are using AI-powered photography to tell their stories in fresh, expressive ways.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-25502 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ZAS26076136_Galaxy-A57-soccer-Landscape-Without-logo-796x563.jpg" alt="" width="796" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Directed by rising creative talent Lindo Langa, the film explores the beauty of everyday moments through a uniquely cinematic lens. It opens on striking frozen tableaus, moments suspended in time just before they are captured. As the scenes come to life, the pace accelerates into vivid motion, revealing the energy, creativity and authenticity of South African youth culture. The film features a cast of content creators from the Galaxy A series family, including Dee Koala (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/dee_koala/?hl=en">@deekoala021</a>), Sine Madondo (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/sine_madondo/?hl=en">@sine._madondo</a>), Coachella Randy (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/coachella.randy/?hl=en">@coachella.randy</a>) and Jaedin Rhodes (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jaedi_nrhodes/?hl=en">@jaedinrhodes10</a>), each doing what they do best to demonstrate the impressive capabilities of the devices’ AI-powered cameras<span>.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-25501 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ZAS26076136_Galaxy-A57-Party-Scene-landscape-Without-logo-796x563.jpg" alt="" width="796" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The AI Camera behind the Galaxy A57 and A37 really is a powerful tool that empowers me to bring the world I imagine into reality. The idea of Awesome being for everyone is exemplified through the film&#8217;s sense of unification behind the various devices we see through the story. Everyone in the piece is either a real person in the context of their scenes or an influencer expressing a truth of their life, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 and A37 sit comfortably in their hands as they express these truths. Awesome is indeed for everyone in this film because the Awesomeness that binds us is the device in all our hands,” said Lindo Langa.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The film serves as both a celebration of innovation and a tribute to the diverse, creative spirit of South Africa, demonstrating how technology can amplify real stories and everyday expression.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G showcase how AI-powered camera technology can transform everyday moments into compelling visual stories, giving users the tools to capture life as it unfolds, or as they imagine it.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25485 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ZAS26076138_AC_Winter_KV-newsroom.jpg" alt="" width="1240" height="1646" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ZAS26076138_AC_Winter_KV-newsroom.jpg 1240w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ZAS26076138_AC_Winter_KV-newsroom-424x563.jpg 424w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ZAS26076138_AC_Winter_KV-newsroom-768x1019.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ZAS26076138_AC_Winter_KV-newsroom-771x1024.jpg 771w" sizes="(max-width: 1240px) 100vw, 1240px" /></p>
<p>As winter approaches, Samsung presents its new seasonal campaign, <strong>“Stay Warm Your Way”, showcasing the</strong><strong> innovative range of artificially intelligent air conditioning systems.</strong> The campaign introduces a smarter, more personalised approach to home heating, powered by Samsung Air Conditioning technology.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Winter comfort is personal, adaptable, and intuitive. Samsung’s <em>Stay Warm Your Way</em> campaign reflects a broader shift from conventional heating methods to artificially intelligent<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> air conditioning systems that respond to individual preferences and lifestyles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether it’s maintaining the optimal evening temperature or warming up a space before you arrive home, Samsung’s approach puts control in the hands of the user, while reducing the need for constant manual adjustments. Samsung continues to push the boundaries of what smart home technology can do, and at the heart of this campaign is the brand’s commitment to creating seamless, intelligent experiences that simplify everyday life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From learning your habits, adapting, and optimising use, Samsung’s air conditioners are designed to do more than just regulate temperature. Through Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered features, users can enjoy automatic temperature adjustments based on usage patterns, ensuring consistent comfort without the guesswork. Integrated with smart home ecosystems and accessible via SmartThings<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> App, these systems allow users to control their environment remotely, bringing convenience and control into perfect harmony.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Fast Heating, you can heat rooms rapidly, and when it’s activated, warm air is distributed across an entire room. The Fast Heating mode’s unique design means that the room reaches the desired temperature faster than other conventional models<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> .</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s AI-driven climate control features take the effort out of staying comfortable. By analysing user habits and environmental conditions, the system automatically fine-tunes settings to maintain the ideal temperature.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The result is a home that feels just right, without constant adjustments, helping users save time while enjoying a more tailored experience. Additionally, the energy-efficient<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> design supports more mindful electricity usage, an increasingly important factor for modern households.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With more people spending time at home, comfort, convenience, and efficiency have become essential. From quiet operation to sleek design and intelligent controls, Samsung air conditioners fit seamlessly into contemporary homes, delivering comfort that adapts to every moment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[1]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Requires the use of SmartThings App and a Samsung account.</span></p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[2]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> The SmartThings App is available on Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required.</span></p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref3" name="_ftn3"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[3]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Based on internal testing of the AR18AX4ZAWK model using Fast Mode compared with the conventional AQ12EASER model, measuring the time taken to increase the room temperature from 9°C to 20°C.</span></p>

									<description><![CDATA[JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – June 2026 – Samsung recently signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) and officially launched the Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC)]]></description>
																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – June 2026 –</strong></span><span> Samsung recently signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) and officially launched the Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) programme at the Durban University of Technology; in an effort to establish a strategic partnership that is able to equip the next generation with future-ready technology skills to enhance student employability.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The MOA signing ceremony and the official launch of the SIC programme took place recently at Coastlands Musgrave Hotel and in attendance were some key dignitaries and partners that included Samsung&#8217;s Public Affairs team; </span>Nhlakanipho Nkontwana – the head of department (HOD) for the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA); as well as Prof Pfano Mashau – the director of Durban University of Technology (DUT) Business School along with the <span>members of the institution’s leadership team.</span></p>
<p><span> </span><img class="size-medium wp-image-25475 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/TSH_7063-1-844x563.jpg" alt="" width="844" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Recent data from Statistics South Africa has shown that youth unemployment in South Africa stands at over 46% among people aged 15 to 34. Yet, the technology sector is struggling to find talent. Also, </span>a comprehensive 2024/2025 research report titled: <em>“<u><a href="https://www.thecollectivex.org/revealed-the-digital-jobs-south-africa-needs-most-right-now/">Decoding ICT Demand”, conducted by The Collective X</a></u></em> &#8211;<span> has revealed that over 118,000 digital and ICT jobs in South Africa remain unfilled, including thousands of entry-level roles suitable for young professionals starting their careers and this, is a clear indication of a skills gap in the country.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>The SIC programme, hosted within the DUT Business School, aims to upskill 60 young people in fourth industrial revolution (4IR) technologies by providing training in high-demand fields, including coding and programming (C&amp;P) in Python, as well as artificial intelligence (AI). Importantly, this programme will now also enable DUT students to move beyond job seeking and become entrepreneurs in technology &#8211; capable of developing AI-driven projects and solving real-world problems. </span></p>
<p><span> </span><span><img class="size-medium wp-image-25476 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/TSH_7133-1-844x563.jpg" alt="" width="844" height="563" /></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Speaking at the signing ceremony, </span>Lefa Makgato, CSR Manager for Samsung South Africa<span> outlined how over the next three years, Samsung will be investing a significant amount annually to support this initiative, ensuring that the SIC programme is not just a training programme but an investment in South Africa&#8217;s digital future. For Samsung, this strategic collaboration with both DUT and the KZN government is rooted in a shared belief that education, technology and teamwork are key to building a more inclusive society.”</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>She also emphasised the need for this SIC programme to bridge the divide between academic learning and industry requirements, ensuring graduates possess the practical skills needed to secure jobs in the tech sector. Ultimately, by fostering, digital literacy and job creation &#8211; the collaboration between these strategic partners as well as Samsung’s objectives &#8211; align with the country’s National Development Plan (NDP) 2030. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The DUT curriculum which fits perfectly with the objectives of the SIC programme &#8211; also aims to teach students important soft skills that include communication, critical thinking, problem solving and the ability to collaborate with others. This SIC programme is not only equipping students with vital skills that are required in work environments, but also those that will help them solve real world challenges. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>And, according to DUT &#8211; with the advent of 4IR, society has become more connected than ever, thereby increasing the need for graduates with varied skills to drive technological innovations that address societal and industrial challenges. DUT’s inspiring launch has therefore managed to bring together industry and academia to unlock opportunities, accelerate digital skills and shape the next generation of leaders.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-25477 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/TSH_7125-1-844x563.jpg" alt="" width="844" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/TSH_7125-1-844x563.jpg 844w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/TSH_7125-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/TSH_7125-1.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Prof Pfano Mashau (DUT) emphasized: “As DUT, we know that our role in this collaboration is to ensure that our curriculum equips our young people with skills that will help them to become employable. We are therefore very grateful to Samsung for this partnership that is allowing us to contribute to the skills development of our young people in KZN. We hope that at the end of this SIC programme, our unemployed graduates will use the in-demand skills they acquire from this initiative &#8211; to start their own businesses as well as empower themselves even further.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This newly formed Public–Private Partnership (PPP) is now acting as a catalyst for youth empowerment – highlighting how successful collaborations such as the one between DUT, government and the private sector can help address youth unemployment and skills shortages in the country.</p>
<p>The partners along with their government counterparts believe that this SIC programme is not only nurturing technology skills, but it is also developing a generation of technological innovators and problem solvers. The beneficiaries from this programme carry a great responsibility as they are not merely beneficiaries, but also pioneers that will shape how technology serves communities; now into the future.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-25478 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/TSH_7207-1-844x563.jpg" alt="" width="844" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nhlakanipho Nkontwana &#8211; HOD for the KwaZulu-Natal EDTEA explained: “The launch was more than a ceremony, it represented a moment to re-imagine education in an era defined by rapid technological advancement, particularly the rise of AI. These days, he added, AI is allowing us the opportunity to not only equip students with qualifications, but also with adaptable future building competencies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Importantly, partnerships such as the one we are celebrating between Samsung Africa and DUT Business School are essential in achieving the country’s educational goals. This collaboration is both timely and strategic &#8211; it brings together academic excellence and industry expertise; creating a bridge between theory and practices as well as a link between lecture halls and the real world. Through this partnership, students will not only gain exposure to cutting-edge technologies but also develop the practical skills required to navigate and shape the digital economy, ” concluded Nkontwana.</p>

Iconic red fabric clothing — a symbol of uncompromising style — takes centre stage as it meets the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, showcasing how Samsung’s advanced washing technology delivers exceptional care for even the delicate fabrics.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Combo<sup><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a></sup> is equipped with AI Wash &amp; Dry+<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>, which recognises fabric types for smaller laundry loads and optimises laundry performance accordingly. By detecting the characteristics of each load, it adjusts water level, spin speed, and the duration of the wash and dry cycles to deliver optimal cleaning results and ensure that garments receive the precise level of care needed during each wash cycle.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alongside the digital campaign, Samsung launched a large-scale digital out-of-home (DOOH) activation at Piccadilly Circus in London, one of the world’s most prominent advertising landmarks. The campaign will also extend to DOOH advertising across multiple global regions including Korea, where consumers will be able to experience the campaign through DOOH displays in high-traffic areas of Seoul like the Myeongdong and Gangnam Station.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>EVP and Head of the Sales &amp; Marketing Team for the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics expressed that the collaboration with ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ is a celebration of the intersection between fashion and technology. Just as the film sets new standards for style, Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Combo sets a new benchmark for intelligent fabric care.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 20th Century Studios’ &#8220;The Devil Wears Prada 2&#8221; is in cinemas now.</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><sup><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1">[1]</a></sup> The campaign is valid for global regions excluding the United States and Canada.</p>
<p><sup><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2">[2]</a></sup> Availability and functions may vary by model, region, and country. (Applicable model: WD90H***H***)</p>
<p><sup><a href="#_ftnref3" name="_ftn3">[3]</a></sup> Fabric sensing uses an AI algorithm to sense 5 fabric types (Cotton, Delicates, Towels. Denim, Outdoor) for loads up to 3kg. A turbidity sensor operates for all weights.  Mixed fabrics may reduce detection accuracy. Actual results may vary depending on individual use. To prevent wear, wash and dry like fabrics together.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Living spaces are an extension of personal taste and identity, and <span>Samsung</span> is defining the role of the television in that space. Samsung’s latest range of The Frame and OLED TVs invites consumers to see their screens not just as entertainment hubs, but as design statements that elevate the home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25268 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-1024x469.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="469" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-1024x469.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-1000x458.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-768x351.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Where Art Meets Innovation &#8211; The Frame</strong></h3>
<p>At the heart of Samsung’s TV design philosophy, one can find The Frame TV &#8211; a television that is more than what meets the eye. Designed to resemble a framed piece of art, The Frame transforms into a curated gallery display when not in use, where users can show anything from timeless masterpieces to personal photography.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With its customisable bezels and slim, wall-flush mounting, The Frame blends effortlessly into various décor styles, whether minimalist, contemporary, or eclectic. The Frame fits into its surroundings with quiet confidence while still delivering brilliant 4K picture quality powered by Samsung Vision AI<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25269 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-1024x469.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="469" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-1024x469.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-1000x458.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-768x351.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Minimalism at its Best &#8211; OLED Elegance</strong></h3>
<p>For those drawn to sleek sophistication, Samsung’s OLED TVs offer a different kind of design magic. Near-bezel-less edges and refined finishes allow these displays to blend easily into a room.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Powered by innovative OLED technology, Samsung TVs deliver remarkable contrast, vivid colour, and immersive depth, all housed within a design that complements rather than competes with the space. The result is a viewing experience that feels both cinematic and effortlessly integrated into modern living spaces.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether it’s a carefully curated living room, a bold entertainment space, or a serene bedroom retreat, Samsung’s TV range is crafted to enhance both function and form. These TVs help you add texture, tone, and personality to a room.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[1]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Samsung Vision AI features are available on 2025 Neo QLED, OLED, QLED (excluding Q6F model) and The Frame as of Q1 2025. Supported models may vary depending on the feature.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced that it has maintained its No. 1 position in the global commercial display market in 2025, marking 17 consecutive years at the top with a 35.2% share by unit sales, according to research firm Omdia.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since achieving the global No. 1 position in the commercial display market for the first time in 2009, Samsung has continuously strengthened its leadership in the B2B display sector. In 2025, the company reached an all‑time high in annual sales when it shipped more than 2.5 million units.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This sustained performance reflects Samsung’s focus on next-generation signage that combines advanced display hardware with cloud and AI-based solutions in retail, corporate, education and hospitality environments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s B2B display portfolio is built on its commitment to product innovation. Newly launched this year, Samsung Spatial Signage displays striking 3D content in a slim 52mm profile. It has already been recognised with a <a href="https://news.samsung.com/za/samsung-makes-enterprise-debut-at-ces-2026-with-spatial-signage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CES 2026 Innovation Award</a> in the Enterprise Technology category and an iF Design Award 2026. Going forward, Samsung plans to expand the lineup to include additional sizes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s <strong>Colour E‑Paper</strong> lineup delivers ultra‑low power signage as an alternative to traditional paper posters. The <a href="https://news.samsung.com/za/samsung-showcases-colour-e-paper-and-ai-signage-solutions-at-ise-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>13-inch Colour E-Paper</strong></a> is a commercial display which to applies a bio-resin derived from phytoplankton in its housing.<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span>[i]</span></a> The display’s housing consists of 45% recycled plastic and 10% phytoplankton-based bio-resin, allowing the manufacturing process to reduce carbon emissions by more than 40% compared to conventional petroleum-based plastic materials. <a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> Samsung plans to go expand the use of this material across its E‑Paper lineup.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The portfolio also features extra-large format displays designed for high-impact business environments—ranging from the 105-inch QPDX-5K, 115-inch QHFX models to the upcoming 130-inch Micro RGB signage (QPHX model).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alongside hardware, Samsung expects to maintain its industry‑leading market position by connecting devices and solutions to provide customers with consistent, integrated experiences. This includes the <strong>Samsung VXT</strong> platform for remote device management and content operations as well as the new <strong>AI Studio</strong> app, which enables easy, signage‑ready video creation from a single product image. <a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung recognises the growing importance of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) solutions in the business-to-business (B2B) sector, now extending beyond comfort to support operational efficiency, sustainability goals and employee productivity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a global developer in innovation, Samsung is able to deliver its latest solutions that enhance efficiency and transform various industries in the B2B space. Samsung’s Innovative B2B HVAC solutions are able to integrate advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) for energy efficiency and design aesthetics like WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>. The company’s systems, such as the <span>DVM S2 (Digital Variable Multi)<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> , VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow)<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> and EHS TDM Plus (Air to Water Heating)<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> are improving comfort in commercial spaces by prioritising sustainability and ensuring high-performance.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the Building and Construction B2B sector for instance, Samsung&#8217;s Smart Air Conditioning (SAC) and HVAC solutions, powered by the <strong>Building Internet of Things</strong> (b.IoT) &#8211; is redefining the comfort in your business while also optimising energy efficiency and smart management of commercial spaces. Specifically, <strong>Samsung&#8217;s</strong> AI-based building management solution, b.IoT that is designed to assist you in maximising energy savings and operational efficiency – seeks to create sustainable, smart buildings for a variety of businesses. Samsung HVAC solutions are driven by five key pillars &#8211; designed for both residential and commercial applications; prioritising comfort, sustainability and intelligent automation. These include:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Pillar 1: Advanced Technology for Optimal Comfort</strong></h3>
<p>SAC solutions will provide your business with specific temperature control, offering optimal comfort<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a> in different environments. Its advanced inverter technology will make the reduction of energy consumption in your business possible – thereby contributing to lowering your operational costs. These advanced HVAC solutions are tailored to meet your business’ unique needs &#8211; from offices to large-scale commercial facilities.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Pillar 2: Seamless Integration with b.IoT</strong></h3>
<p>With the innovative b.IoT Platform – you can now look forward to a robust IoT platform that connects and manages HVAC systems in real-time. And, with Samsung’s advanced remote monitoring and control features<strong>, </strong>as a business, you will now be able to monitor and control your air conditioning systems remotely<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> while also providing consistent performance. In addition, Samsung’s HVAC solutions use AI to predict maintenance needs which in turn reduce downtime and may extend your system’s lifespan.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Pillar 3: Advanced Air Purification </strong></h3>
<p><span> Air quality is just as important as temperature. Many Samsung aircons come with Tri-Care Filters<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a> or PM1.0 filtration<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><sup>[8]</sup></span></a>, which trap dust, allergens, bacteria and even viruses<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span><sup>[9]</sup></span></a>. This is a valuable feature for homes with children, pets or allergy-prone residents. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Pillar 4: Commitment to Sustainability</strong></h3>
<p>Driven by its 2022 <strong><em>&#8220;New Environmental Strategy&#8221;<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span><sup>[10]</sup></span></a></em></strong>– Samsung has been seeking to ensure enterprise-wide, net-zero direct and indirect carbon emissions by 2050<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><sup>[11]</sup></a>. The company has established a commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of its B2B HVAC solutions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s SAC-HVAC systems are specifically designed with sustainability in mind, using eco-friendly refrigerants and energy-efficient technologies. By minimising energy consumption and emissions, Samsung’s HVAC solutions may reduce carbon footprint and may also help the variety of businesses it serves to achieve their own sustainability goals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Pillar 5: Trusted Partner for B2B Solutions-Reliability</strong></h3>
<p>With decades of experience in the HVAC industry, Samsung is a trusted partner for businesses worldwide. And with the company’s customer-centric approach, Samsung has focused on delivering solutions that meet the needs of its clients. Samsung is also able to offer comprehensive, end-to-end support &#8211; from installation to maintenance – designed to <strong>accommodate its customers’ requirements.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The attributes in these HVAC solutions combine advanced technology, seamless integration and a commitment to sustainability, allowing Samsung the opportunity to empower businesses to create smarter and more efficient spaces.</p>
