(Telecompaper) Samsung Electronics announced a new platform for developing consumer and industrial applications of the Internet of Things, called Artik. The Artik line will include integrated production-ready modules, software, development boards, drivers, tools, security features and cloud connectivity. At an event in San Francisco, Samsung showed the first three Artik modules. Artik 1, which Samsung claims is the smallest IoT module on the market at 12x12mm, combines Bluetooth/BLE connectivity and a nine-axis sensor. It is specifically designed for low-power, small form- factor IoT applications. Artik 5 is aimed at home hubs, drones and high-end wearables. It incorporates a 1GHz dual-core processor and on-board DRAM and flash memory. Artik 10 delivers more advanced capabilities and higher performance with an eight-core processor, full 1080p video decoding/encoding, 5.1 audio and 2GB DRAM along with 16GB flash memory. The Artik 10 includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE and ZigBee connectivity and is designed for use with home servers and media applications and in industrial settings.
