Samsung’s ambition for the IoT chip market. In the coming 2016, the effective range of smart Bluetooth technology will increase 4 times, while the speed will also increase 1 times, can bring faster data transmission, Bluetooth will connect all smart home devices together, covering the entire building Or within the home, including industrial automation, location-based services and smart technology facilities will also use more Bluetooth technology, and consumers may experience what is truly seamless Internet of Things services.

In general, although smart hardware has emerged from its infancy, it is still in the early stages of development. Serious ecological debris and lack of security standards have become the core issues in the development of smart homes. However, the smart home industry continues to develop and the problems are also being perfected and solved in the course of development. As technology and markets continue to mature, 2016 smart hardware may give us more surprises, but at the CES on January 5, 2016 At the exhibition, more companies will join the smart home camp and perform at the CES2016 international stage. Smart homes may be blown out and smart homes are still hot at CES2016. In short, the smart home market has great potential.
