Samsung Electronics is unveiling its GAIA security solution for Tizen-based smart TVs at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that kicks off on Jan. 5 in Las Vegas. The combination of Tizen OS with the solution is expected to take the form of the most advanced security feature in each of the three fields of service, software and hardware.
Samsung Electronics is planning to provide a Tizen-based IoT feature for all of its smart TVs to be released from this year. In addition, it is to apply Tizen to a variety of consumer electronics, including refrigerators, washing machines and TV sets. The company is regarding this year as a critical period for IoT-based connectivity between smart home components.
Tizen is predicted to be in wide use on smartphones, too. Last year, Samsung Electronics released Tizen phones such as the Samsung Z1 and the Samsung Z3, along with the Samsung Gear S2 as a wearable device, to examine the market response. The handsets have been especially popular with consumers in India and Bangladesh preferring a low price and localized content.
This year, the company is going to expand the Tizen ecosystem by releasing those phones and new phones in more countries. High-end Tizen phones are expected to be added to the lineup as well, so that consumers can choose from more with the product awareness on the rise and sales networks expanding in emerging markets.
In the third quarter of last year, Tizen beat Blackberry and took fourth place in terms of global smartphone OS market share. Strategy Analytics recently said that it will be able to climb to the third in or before 2020, surpassing Microsoft Windows and following Android and iOS, if the current pace continues.
