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.

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
•
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
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.
