Tuya Smart at CES 2022: IoT Security Products in Spotlight as COVID-19 Spurs Global Demand for IoT

Leave a comment

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2022 — As a leader in the IoT sector, global IoT development platform service provider Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA) is also showcasing a number of brand-new security-related products and solutions at CES 2022. These offerings aim not only help developers launch products with high efficiency, but also reduce their worries about product safety.

Two years on from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, CES 2022 is coming back to Las Vegas in person, enabled by heightened safety measures adopted by the event organizers. In the face of the continued pandemic, technology firms, industry experts and journalists are all coming together both online and offline to a different tech landscape, forever changed by COVID-19.

One of the major impacts of the pandemic on IoT and smart devices has been the rise of global network security issues, that have been further amplified by consumer needs and behaviors during the pandemic. According to a 2021 report from IoT Analytics, the number of connected IoT devices are expected to hit 12.3 billion active endpoints globally by the end of 2021 and grow to over 27 billion IoT connections by 2025. Coupled with increased remote work after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers are more exposed than ever to online attacks. According to Akamai’s annual state of the internet security report, remote work and increased connectivity contributed to a spike in cyber-attacks, while web application attacks tripled in 2021, from what was already a record year in 2020.

At this year’s CES, network security has become a topic of concern for all major players in the industry. Among the issues, IoT security has risen a key focus for many manufacturers, developers and suppliers to exhibit their forward-looking vision and R&D capabilities, as there are particular challenges for IoT that differ from those of traditional network security. Throughout CES, posters and videos promoting network security solutions can abound and security-related hardware products are in pride of place at many booths.


At Tuya Smart’s CES booth, the company’s new IoT security module WBR3N, exhibited in physical form and available for virtual tour online, has drawn the attention of many journalists and industry professionals. This industry-leading security module is the first IoT module of its kind with a built-in secure element (SE) to hold a Common Criteria (CC) EAL6+ certificate.

Commanding comprehensively robust security guarantee, the module realizes mutual certificate authentication and device activation authentication between the device and the cloud, in addition to the Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) security certificate and device certification information that is built into the Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) block during the production process. In terms of communication, WBR3N uses TLS1.2 two-way strong verified communication based on security authentication, which represents the highest level of communication security in the industry.

In terms of security protection of device data, WBR3N uses built-in independent SE to execute the data encryption and decryption process, therefore fully safeguarding data security. At the same time, the module provides SE-based independent physical security storage, and has a built-in root of trust (RoT), through which storage is performed. The core codes also enjoy protection by the built-in SE, while OTA ensures process safety through a secure communication process and firmware verification.

Overall, WBR3N comes with multiple logical and physical protection layers such as metal shielding, end-to-end encryption, memory encryption, and tampering detection, able to effectively fend off various advanced attack methods such as power analysis and fault attack.

Aside from enhanced hardware security capabilities, Tuya Smart has also announced the release of Tuya Sage, an IoT security operation platform, at CES 2022. The solution is designed to help developers identify and eliminate potential security risks of the IoT system, and ensure security and compliance during system operations.

Shared security responsibility is the fundamental principle of IoT security. Shared security means that cloud providers are responsible for protecting cloud security, while developers are responsible for the security of the applications, data, and resources that use and access the cloud. In practice, many developers lack a holistic sense of the security and compliance status of global smart terminals, a challenge that industry experts are looking for solutions to address.

With Tuya Sage, developers have an oversight of all protected devices, including their basic security information and risk status. Once a device encounters an attack, the developer can complete the risk interception in just one click. Through real-time threat intelligence, Tuya Sage is able to identify local vulnerabilities in smart terminals in a timely and effective manner, allowing developers to fully understand the security and privacy compliance status of the terminal, as well as whether there is any non-compliant user data flow so that it can be rapidly addressed.

In recent years, Tuya Smart has spared no effort in advancing platform and technology-related security and compliance, and proactively conducting third-party data security certifications to meet the varying security needs of customers around the globe. This unique ability to meet the varying security needs of customers around the world puts Tuya Smart in a unique position as a leading global IoT development platform service provider.


According to the public information, Tuya Smart has obtained a number of third-party data security certifications, including BSI’s ISO27001 standard for information security system, ISO27017 standard for cloud security management system, ISO27701 standard for cloud platform privacy and security, and the CSA STAR cloud security certification. In terms of regional compliance, Tuya Smart has passed Ernst & Young’s SOC 2 Audit as well as TrustArc’s GDPR and CCPA’s regional compliance validation. The company is also a recipient and member of TrustArc’s Enterprise Privacy Certificate (EPC).

When it comes to product safety standards, Tuya Smart has passed TÜV SÜD’s EU ETSI standard for cybersecurity in IoT, as well as the ioXt Alliance’s hardware safety certification in 2021. The company has also been partnering with Rapid7, wizlynx group, ScienceSoft, UnderDefense and Kaspersky to vigorously carrying out tests of platform service security.

In the long list, names like TrustArc and Ernst & Young are regarded as the most credible third-party organizations in validating or auditing security and compliance. With the proactive approach to certification and security cooperation, it is safe to say that Tuya Smart is a firm that attaches the greatest importance to safety and compliance.

At this year’s CES, manufacturers, developers and suppliers are all eager to present fresh electronics. But as consumers look to new electronics to bring into their homes, one of the features they will increasingly look for is trust and security assurance. It cannot be ignored that security is the guardian and foundation for all software and hardware products. This year the new offerings from Tuya Smart are a solid contribution to security for the IoT industry.

SK Telecom Showcases Green ICT at CES 2022

Leave a comment

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 2, 2022 — SK Telecom (NYSE: SKM, hereinafter referred to as "SKT") today announced that it will participate in CES 2022, which will be held in Las Vegas from January 5 to 8, 2022, to showcase green ICT in the era of Net Zero. 

SKT Showcases Green ICT at CES 2022
SKT Showcases Green ICT at CES 2022

SKT will operate a joint exhibition booth with SK Inc., SK Innovation, SK hynix, SK E&S and SK Ecoplant under the theme of ‘SK’s 2030 Net Zero Pledge’ and offer a chance for visitors to experience its innovative green technologies. 

  • Environmentally friendly AI and telecommunications network technologies

AI and telecommunications networks stand at the core of ICT innovation. However, they are also pointed out as a cause of environmental pollution due to the large amount of power they consume. Against this backdrop, SKT is accelerating an ICT revolution through the development and application of low-power high-efficiency semiconductors and energy-saving telecommunications network technologies. 

At CES 2022, SKT will be showcasing its self-developed AI chip named SAPEON. SAPEON is optimally designed to process artificial intelligence tasks faster, using less power by efficiently processing large amounts of data in parallel.

With the rapid spread of AI services in people’s daily lives and industries, the amount of data that needs to be processed is growing exponentially. However, the existing AI data centers that use Graphics Processing Units (GPU) for inference are receiving criticism for consuming a great amount of energy. SAPEON is an environmentally-friendly solution as it uses 20% less power than GPU, while supporting 1.5 times faster deep learning computation. 

SKT will also introduce Single RAN, a technology that reduces the amount of power usage by approximately 53% through integrated operation of 3G and LTE network equipment. The company either replaced the outdated 3G and LTE equipment with new equipment applied with Single RAN or upgraded the software of its existing LTE equipment with Single RAN to operate as both 3G and LTE equipment.

By successfully applying Single RAN to all applicable base stations and repeaters installed in 78 cities in Korea including Seoul in 2020, SKT earned around 10,000 tons of carbon credits. 

  • ICT solutions for reducing carbon generation in daily lives 

At CES 2022, SKT will invite visitors to experience its metaverse service, multi-use cup project and other ICT services that can help reduce CO2 emissions such as optimal route navigation service. 

The company will introduce its metaverse platform Ifland as a new promising path towards a low carbon society. Ifland allows users to take carbon generating activities such as conferences, presentations and business trips to the virtual world. 

It provides a wide variety of virtual spaces including conference halls, outdoor stages and rooftops, and enables users to enjoy rich communication by sharing documents (PDF) and video files (MP4). It can accommodate up to 130 users simultaneously, which makes it an ideal place for large-scale events. 

Ifland has been providing users with a new and environmentally friendly experience by migrating diverse offline events to the virtual world ranging from the D-100 event for 2021 Seoul UN Peacekeeping Ministerial and K-pop concerts. 

SKT will also present the Habit Cup Project that promotes the use of multi-use cups to reduce plastic waste. Coffee shops participating in the project are serving beverages in multi-use cups named ‘Habit Cups’ that can be later returned via smart kiosks capable of identifying and accepting only Habit Cups through the use of SKT’s vision AI technology. Returned cups are collected everyday to be cleaned and sanitized, and then delivered back to cafes. 

At present, SKT is carrying out a trial project joined by around 20 cafes located in central areas of Seoul, where there is a large floating population. The company expects to eliminate the use of 1.2 million disposable cups during the three-month project period. It is also implementing a trial project in Jeju Island, and expects to reduce the use of 630,000 disposable cups per year. 

Korea’s No.1 mobility platform T Map will also be on display. By providing an optimal route, T Map contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving fuel. The service also helps save social costs by decreasing the risk of traffic accidents through enhanced safety features like sudden brake alert. 

"At CES 2022, we will be showcasing cutting-edge technologies that can drive the green ICT revolution, along with innovative services that hold the power to reduce carbon generation in our daily lives," said SKT. "Through multifaceted efforts, SKT will become a solid leader in the era of Net Zero."

FIBBR unveils Quantum fiber-optic HDMI cable

Leave a comment

New fiber-optic cable offers blazing 8K speed at previously unheard-of consumer-friendly prices.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2, 2022 — FIBBR (pronounced "fiber"), a world-leading manufacturer of high-end audio and video cables, has expanded its product line up with the new Quantum fiber-optic HDMI cable. The new cable supports data bitrates up to 48 gigabits per second, the highest speed of the new HDMI 2.1 standard. That’s fast enough to fully convey 8K/60Hz or 4K/120Hz video and advanced audio along a single, slender cable. 

FIBBR unveils Quantum fiber-optic HDMI cable
FIBBR unveils Quantum fiber-optic HDMI cable

Fiber-optic cables offer many benefits over their copper counterparts, especially in long cable runs. At such high bitrates, copper cables longer than 10 feet or so can really struggle to get the data from point A to point B. But fiber-optic cables are immune to this problem; they can extend to just about any length with no loss of signal whatsoever. In addition, they are invulnerable to electrical interference, with no need for fancy, bulky shielding. 

How do they work? The transmitting end converts electrical signals into pulses of light, which travel along the fiber-optic cable and are converted back into electrical signals at the receiving end. This "light into copper" process is bound to become the standard means of conveying 8K video reliably between devices. 

The only problem with fiber-optic HDMI cables has been their high cost—until now. FIBBR Quantum smashes the price barrier, allowing far more consumers to join the fiber revolution. A 2-meter/6.56-foot length carries a price tag of only $21, while a humongous 20-meter/65.6-foot cable is only $60. That’s a small fraction of what most fiber-optic HDMI cables cost. 

FIBBR Quantum is fully compatible with all the requirements of HDMI 2.1. It’s an entry-level product that nevertheless promises to bring stunning 8K performance to the masses at down-to-earth prices. 

About FIBBR: 

Founded in 2015, FIBBR is the global high-end audio and video signal-connection brand of EverPro Technologies Co., Ltd. The company offers a wide range of data-transmission products for many different interfaces, and its cables are sold all over the world. FIBBR has established official cooperation with well-known brands such as Huawei, BenQ, Pioneer, Sony, and others, providing technological innovation in the audio-visual market.

Leave a comment

HANGZHOU, China and SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Dec. 29, 2021 — Geely Holding Group’s (Geely) premium electric brand, Zeekr, will collaborate with Waymo on the development of a new pure electric vehicle for deployment in the Waymo One autonomous ride-hailing fleet in the United States.

The Program Explained / The plan. 

The new purpose-built mobility vehicle is being designed and developed at Zeekr’s R&D facility, CEVT (China Europe Vehicle Technology Centre) in Gothenburg, Sweden which has a proven track record in developing class leading vehicles for the wider Geely Holding Group. Under this collaboration, Zeekr will be designing and developing the future vehicle on a new proprietary and open-source mobility architecture. Waymo will take delivery of the vehicles in the United States and will then integrate its fully autonomous Waymo Driver into the vehicle platform.

The new vehicle will be designed to be rider-centric from the outset, setting a new benchmark for autonomous vehicles. The new Zeekr vehicle has been designed for autonomous use-cases and will come with a fully configurable cabin, both with and without driver controls, that can be tailored towards rider requirements for the Waymo One unmanned ride-hailing fleet in the US.

Zeekr was founded in early 2021 as a global technology-mobility brand with design and engineering resources in Sweden. The first model from Zeekr, the 001, was introduced in April 2021 with deliveries starting in October of the same year.
