Samsung addressing the growing trend of quantified health with an all-in-one advanced system logic chip for the health-oriented wearables market, the Bio-Processor Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, today announced that it is addressing the growing trend of quantified health with an all-in-one advanced system logic chip for the health-oriented wearables market, the Bio-Processor. The Samsung Bio-Processor, now in mass production, is specifically designed to allow accelerated development of innovative wearable products for consumers who are increasingly monitoring their health and fitness on a daily basis. “With improvements in smart, fitness devices and an increase in consumer health consciousness, more and more people are looking for ways to monitor various personal bio-data, or fitness data, to constantly manage their health” said Ben K. Hur, Vice President of marketing, System LSI business at Samsung Electronics. Samsung Bio-Processor: Small in size; Big on Versatility Samsung Addresses a Growing Mobile Health Market with Industry’s First Smart Bio-Processor • Under this agreement Alcatel-Lucent will deploy its 7950 XRS nationwide across Italy, with the 5620 SAM providing end-to-end network management across the IP and optical network layers, allowing TIM to meet its customers’ demands for high-quality, fast and efficient data services into the future. • Alcatel-Lucent will also deploy its Network Services IP and optical transport network. The network will be implemented by end of 2016. TIM will also use Alcatel-Lucent’s Carrier SDN-based Network Services Platform which will allow it to cost- efficiently define new services and activate them in real- time. This reduces TIM’s costs and improves network operations while offering its subscribers a high-quality, on-demand service experience. Key Facts

Platform. The NSP is a Carrier SDN technology developed specifically for application in the Carrier Wide Area Network (WAN) that combines network-aware service automation with service-aware network-automation so that service providers can reduce network complexity and gain the insight and control needed to deliver on- demand network services quickly, profitably and at scale. • Alcatel-Lucent’s 7950 XRS portfolio delivers class-leading scale, efficiency and versatility to address a wide range of networking requirements. More than 50 customers have chosen to deploy the 7950 XRS to-date. • In June, Alcatel-Lucent announced it would deploy its 100G agile optical networking technology using the 1830 Photonic Service Switch in TIM’s core and metro networks. Samsung’s Bio-Processor is the industry’s first all-in- one health solution chip. By integrating not only Analog Front Ends (AFE), but also microcontroller unit (MCU), power management integrated circuit (PMIC), digital signal processor (DSP), and eFlash memory, it is able to process the bio-signals it measures without the need of external processing parts. Even with its integrated design, the Bio-Processor is particularly innovative thanks to its incredibly small size. When compared to the total area of the discrete parts, the Bio-Processor is only about one fourth of the total combined size, which is ideal for small wearable devices, offering a bounty of options when designing new devices.
