NXP adds UWB and BLE to SmartThings

UWB and BLE solutions have been combined to deliver spatial awareness to the new Samsung Galaxy SmartTag+, providing an enhanced experience to the Samsung SmartThings Find service.

SmartThings Find is an innovative service within the SmartThings application, available on some Galaxy devices1 – including the Galaxy S21+ and S21 Ultra – featuring detection capabilities that help users find the things that matter most, near or far.

It can locate Samsung Galaxy devices2 and any personal items – such as a backpack, wallet, or keys – with a Galaxy SmartTag attached through an intuitive tracking interface.

And now, with the addition of Galaxy SmartTag+ utilizing Trimension UWB and BLE, users can take advantage of augmented reality technology to visually guide them towards their missing item using their smartphone’s camera.
