World Congress 2016. The Galaxy A devices were already launched in December 2015 and are being rolled out worldwide. Trailblazer for mobile payment Embedded Secure Elements are becoming a mainstream security solution for NFC (Near Field Communication) applications. According to IHS estimates the number of smartphones shipped with embedded NFC secure Elements is projected to increase from 427 million today to 1,620 million in 2020 (NFC Report 2015). Consumers’ ease-of-use and trust in secured mobile services is expected to significantly increase the acceptance of mobile payment. Follow the Snyder family Smartphones and wearables are part of our everyday lives. On the occasion of the Mobile World Congress, Infineon has followed a day in the life of the fictitious Snyder family – also visiting Barcelona. During the day, the family’s smart helpers are repeatedly put to use. It is in this way the reader also discovers the contribution Infineon makes with its products in the areas of security, high frequency, sensors, power management and mobile infrastructure. With this, we make life easier, safer and greener.

Antenova announces two flexible antennas: Bentoni and Asper for positioning applications with GNSS and 2.4-2.5GHz Antenova Ltd, manufacturer of antennas and RF antenna modules for M2M and the Internet of Things, is adding two new positioning antennas, Bentoni and Asper, to its range of flexible FPC antennas. Bentoni is a positioning antenna for all of the global public satellite constellations: GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and GALILEO. It is designed to be used in trackers, portable devices, network components, drones and wearable electronics. Asper is a dual antenna with two separate antenna systems in a single form factor. It combines a 1559 – 1609 MHz antenna with a 2.4 – 2.5 GHz antenna in the same part for positioning applications with wireless connectivity as well. This antenna is suitable for sports cameras, trackers, dash cams, portable devices, network devices and wearable electronics. Both antennas offer high performance and maintain good isolation in situ within a device. Bentoni and Asper are the latest flexible FPC antennas in Antenova’s flexiiANT product range. They are supplied with an I-PEX MHF connector and a 1.13 mm RF cable in a choice of three lengths. They can be folded to save space in operation within a device. Antenova’s antenna design team aims to create antennas that a product designer can integrate with the other circuits in a design in a convenient way, rather than designing a product to fit around the antenna. The aim of these antenna

Infineon Security and RF

Components support Samsung Galaxy S7 and

Galaxy A smartphone series Where smartphone manufacturers differentiate their offers in a highly competitive market through either security or performance, Samsung chooses both. The world market leader builds its new Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy A devices with security and RF (radio frequency) components from Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY). Smartphone owners benefit from low noise amplifiers (LNA) to antenna tuners and RF switches enhancing the data rate and reducing power consumption. At the same time, embedded Secure Element (eSE) chips protect security-critical functionalities of the mobile device. They enable secured transfer of sensitive payment credentials for contactless payment, convenient biometric authentication of the user and new applications such as mobile ticketing. The Samsung Galaxy S7 is Samsung’s latest premium smartphone introduced at Mobile
