Samsung Electronics unveiled its Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for businesses for the first time. 

On March 16 (local time), the company revealed the solutions of IoT at CeBIT 2015 in Hannover, Germany, and announced that it would launch a B2B business. 

At the exhibition Samsung Electronics showcased about 90 solutions, including six different B2B solutions that range across retail, education, healthcare, transportation, hospitality, and finance, and another solution for 50 cooperative companies. Also, various mobile health solutions using smartphones and tablets were displayed. 

A mobile fitness coaching solution for heart disease patients received a lot of attention. The solution provides users with remote healthcare services in which small sensors measure and analyze the health condition of users who are exercising, such as heart rate and blood pressure, and send information to medical teams.

Also, Samsung Electronics disclosed security solutions for WiFi, including safety access points, designed to enable government, medical, and financial services to use wireless connections quickly and safety. 

Hong Won-pyo, president and chief marketing officer of Samsung Electronics, said, “As more and more businesses adopt the IoT, we have a great opportunity to enhance customer value with increased productivity and profit. In order to accelerate IoT adoption in businesses, it is urgent to overcome the challenges of platform compatibility, data analysis, and security.”

In order to address this problem, Samsung Electronics is introducing the highly compatible platform of the Smart Things and pushing ahead with various projects focusing on the health and smart building sectors to accumulate know-hows of data analysis.
