Samsung, a global leading provider of consumer electronics and digital media technologies, stole the show at the January CES 2010. Many of the entities that attended the event were in awe of the company’s impressive collection of new TVs, e-readers, and 3D innovations. Samsung showed that it definitely has a lot in store for the consumer market. However, it also unveiled a portfolio of products that small businesses can put to use as well.

4G and Multimedia Integration

Two of the most powerful forces in the telecommunications industry, Samsung and Verizon Wireless have teamed up to deliver products that offer richer user experiences through the use of Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G technology. At the CES event, Samsung exhibited a variety of innovative products that included digital cameras, digital picture frames and Mobile Internet Devices, each of which connects through the LTE multimedia ecosystem. Ideal for companies looking to engage their audience through the power of rich media, the Samsung LTE Media Frame is a perfect example of how the company is leveraging this ecosystem in consumer electronics, as well as social networks, online galleries, and other platforms. When connected to the ecosystem, users can easily upload their multimedia content on the web over the LTE network. The presence of 4G wireless connectivity means that live video streaming from a mobile device such as an iPhone, to the LTE Frame is also a possibility.

3D-Capable Networking TVs

LCDs, LEDs, and Plasmas comprised the lineup of TVs on display at CES. Loaded with TVs that ranged from 19 to 65-inch models, Samsung certainly came prepared. Each model showcased is complete with AllShare, the company’s proprietary technology that enables business users to boost productivity with the ability to connect a TV to devices such as laptops, desktops, digital cameras, mobile phones and more. Additionally, the high-end versions of these television sets have built-in 3D capabilities. Some models are even capable of processing 2D content in 3D, which means that viewers can watch virtually anything in 3D.

Revolutionary Apps

They also introduced Samsung Apps, the world’s first HDTV-based app store. With Samsung Apps, businesses and individual users will be able to purchase and download applications for select Samsung Blu-Ray players, home theater systems, and HDTVs. Thanks to a flexible API, developers and content owners can create their own applications that function seamlessly across multiple devices, ensuring a more consistent and enjoyable consumer experience. At the CES, Samsung revealed dozens of new apps to show how users will soon be able to enhance the interactivity of other electronics, just as they would their mobile phones.

Their news roster of electronics aims to enrich the consumer experience, while keeping the networking small business in mind. Businesses that are heavily reliant on internet communications and multimedia technologies should be able to find considerable value in these products. For organizations that are still confined to traditional methods, the new lineup could be a sign that is it time to fully embrace the digital era of business.
