Samsung has introduced its partner companies to four latest Internet of Things technologies owned by local universities at the 2016 Advanced IoT Technology Conference at Samsung Electronics Relationship Academy in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province to help them make their next-generation technologies more competitive. This is a partnership program between Samsung through which it showcases technologies owned by Korean universities and government-funded research institutions to its partner companies that can then secure technical competitiveness by adopting these advanced technologies before their rivals.
The Advanced IoT Technology Conference was previously held once every year but Samsung is now planning to host it four times in a year to provide its partner companies with more practical help. It is also planning to hold conferences to introduce advanced technologies in additional promising technology sectors by the end of 2016. This year's Advanced IoT Technology Conference was attended by 120 executives and employees from Samsung's 67 partner companies and their research and development divisions. Showcased technologies included a low-power voice recognition sensor for IoT devices, IoT sensor control technology, wireless sensor network building technology as well as an asset management system to manage the life span of IoT assets.
