NXP Secure UWB deployed in Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra Bringing the First UWB-Enabled Android Device to Market
11 Agosto 2020 - 11:00AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced that NXP’s
Secure Ultra-Wideband (UWB) fine-ranging solution, embedded SIM
(eSIM) as well as Near Field Communication (NFC) and Secure Element
(eSE) unit are deployed in Samsung’s new Galaxy Note20 Ultra1. NXP
innovations bring a variety of future capabilities and applications
to mobile devices as they become the smart hub of daily digital
life.
Propelling today’s on-the-go lifestyle with secure mobile
solutions, NXP tethers consortia and ecosystem collaborations to
ironclad industry alignment around UWB. NXP and Samsung are two of
the founding members of the FiRa Consortium, which was established
in 2019 to foster interoperability in the development and
widespread adoption of UWB.
“For the first time in a Galaxy device, Samsung is integrating
NXP’s UWB technology into our latest Galaxy Note20 Ultra to make
sharing photos, videos and files easier,” said Inkang Song, Vice
President and Head of Technology Strategy Group of IT & Mobile
Communications Division at Samsung Electronics. “We are excited to
introduce future UWB functionality in our Galaxy devices that will
help locate items more accurately with AR technology and unlock
your home as a digital key that will make life easier for
consumers.”
UWB technology delivers unprecedented accuracy in both
line-of-site (LoS) and strong localization in non-line-of-sight
(nLoS) scenarios, such as crowded, multipath signal environments
with numerous walls, people, and other obstacles. It also uses
angle-of-arrival (AoA) technology to indicate the direction of a
signal for added precision, and to locate and identify other
devices or objects at centimeter level. With that, Samsung’s
utilization of UWB in its latest Galaxy Note20 Ultra brings users
powerful tools to help maximize their time and simplify their daily
routines.
“NXP offers a comprehensive suite of UWB chipsets that span
best-in-class security, automotive, IoT and mobile architectures
for real-time, precise, localization capabilities across market
applications; this has never been more important with mobile
devices driving the digitization of identities so people can
interact contactless with the world around them,” said Rafael
Sotomayor, Executive Vice President and GM, Connectivity and
Security at NXP. “In addition to UWB, eSIM is also a new use case
enabled in our mobile wallet that provides connectivity options
beyond traditional SIM.”
A robust solution for the future of mobility
- Completely hands-free access control: The
unparalleled precision sensing of NXP’s Secure UWB technology
includes outstanding localization that will make it possible for
mobile devices to communicate with connected doors, points of
entry, and cars for completely hands-free access control.
- Simplified integration: Building on NXP’s NFC
connectivity, mobile ecosystem expertise and proven security
architecture found in many of today’s popular mobile
payment-enabled devices, UWB can be part of a system that quickly
and securely initializes communication. With NFC onboard, devices
can continue to perform contactless transactions even when they ran
out of battery.
- The next generation in connectivity: Unlike
traditional SIM cards that must be removed and replaced in new
devices, NXP’s GSMA-compliant eSIM solution is integrated
permanently into a device, making remote SIM provisioning radically
easier and providing over-the-air SIM updates. The external SIM
slot plus eSIM allow end users to have two or more phone numbers on
a single device. The eSIM functionality comes with all Samsung
Galaxy Note20 Ultra devices, excluding China, Japan, and
Korea.
