Samsung, the leading maker of Android mobile devices, is looking to make its mark in the Internet of Things. As part of that effort, the
Korean company purchased IoT startup SmartThings last year and announced
earlier this year that it is investing $100 million in IoT development,
noted by eWeek.
This week, Samsung took
another step on its IoT journey by unveiling at IoT World 2015 its
family of ARTIK platforms to help developers build IoT apps.
"Our goals in building ARTIK
were to minimize fragmentation and enable faster adoption of IoT….ARTIK
provides an end-to-end solution for making interconnected applications,
from low-power wearables to high-end smart homes," explained the ARTIK team.
The ARTIK platform come in three sizes--ARTIK 1, 12mm x 12mm; ARTIK 5, 29mm x 25mm; and ARTIK 10, 29mm x 39mm.
The larger the size, the greater number of features and increasing performance levels there are.
ARTIK 1 has a dual-core
processor, 1 MB of one-chip memory and 4 MB of flash memory, Bluetooth
low energy connectivity, a secure element, and a 9-axis motion sensor;
ARTIK 5 has a dual-core ARM-A7 processor, 512 MB LPDDR 3 memory and 4GB
eMMC memory, WiFi/BT/BLE + ZigBee/Thread (802.11 b/g/n)
connectivity, and secure element; ARTIK 10 sports an ARM-based Octa Core
processor, 2GB of LPDDR3 memory and 16GB eMMC memory, WiFi/BT/BLE +
ZigBee/Thread (802.11 b/g/n) connectivity, and a secure element.
