SAN JOSE, Calif., March 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cypress
Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY), the leader in wireless
connectivity solutions for the Internet of Things, today announced
that Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (SSNLF) has selected its
Wi-Fi® connectivity solution for the Samsung ARTIK™
Internet of Things platform. Cypress' low-power CYW43907 802.11n
Wi-Fi system-on-chip (SoC) is now in production in Samsung's ARTIK
050 module providing secure IoT connections in smart home
appliances and industrial electronics devices. The SoC solution
delivers robust Wi-Fi connectivity and applications processing to
the ARTIK 050, and the SoC's unique architecture helps enable the
module's best-in-class power management that maximizes battery
life. More information on Cypress' 802.11n Wi-Fi solutions is

"Designers looking to integrate Internet connectivity to their
products want strong, stable Wi-Fi, and that is why we selected the
Cypress CYW43907 SoC to be the centerpiece of our ARTIK IoT
platform," said James Stansberry,
Senior Vice President of IoT Business Team at Samsung Strategy and
Innovation Center (SSIC). "The SoC's dual-band 802.11n connectivity
and processing capabilities provide our ARTIK 050 modules with
excellent performance and power consumption, which helps us enable
a strong end-user experience for our customers' products."
"Cypress has built a leadership position in IoT connectivity by
partnering with our top-tier customers and suppliers to quickly
turn winning ideas into the connected products the market is
looking for," said Michael Hogan,
Vice President of the IoT Business Unit at Cypress. "Samsung's
ARTIK IoT platform brings drop-in, secure Cloud applications to a
wide array of smart home appliances and industrial electronics
applications, making it an excellent showcase for our robust Wi-Fi
solutions."
Samsung ARTIK is an end-to-end, integrated IoT Platform that
transforms the process of developing, launching and managing
connected products. The ARTIK 050 module is specifically built to
provide secure IoT connectivity for products across vertical
markets, including smart home, smart lighting, smart building,
manufacturing, and health and wellness. The Cypress CYW43907 SoC
integrates dual-band IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi with a 320-MHz
ARM® Cortex®-R4 RISC processor and 2 MB of
SRAM to run applications and manage IoT protocols. The SoC's power
management unit simplifies power topologies and optimizing energy
consumption. The CYW43907 solution is supported on Cypress'
Wireless Internet Connectivity for Embedded Devices
(WICED®) Software Development Kit (SDK), which provides
code examples, tools and development support.
About Cypress' WICED IoT Development Platform
The
Cypress WICED Studio IoT development platform features an
integrated and interoperable wireless software development kit
(SDK). The SDK includes rigorously tested Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
protocol stacks, as well as simplified application programming
interfaces that free developers from needing to learn complex
wireless technologies. In line with the IoT trend toward dual-mode
connectivity, the SDK supports Cypress' Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
combination solutions and its Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy
devices. The SDK enables cloud connectivity in minutes with its
robust libraries that uniquely integrate popular cloud services
such as Amazon Web Services, IBM Bluemix, Alibaba Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, along with
services from private cloud partners.
Cypress' WICED Studio connectivity suite is microcontroller
(MCU)-agnostic and provides ready support for a variety of
third-party MCUs to address the needs of complex IoT applications.
The platform also enables cost efficient solutions for simple IoT
applications by integrating MCU functionality into the connectivity
device. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth protocol stacks can run
transparently on a host MCU or in embedded mode, allowing for
flexible platform architectures with common firmware. More
