NXP Trimension™ Ultra-Wideband Technology Powers Xiaomi MIX4 Smartphone to Deliver New “Point to Connect” Smart Home Solution
27 September 2021 - 11:00AM
NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced that its
Trimension Ultra-Wideband (UWB) solution powers new “Point to
connect” capabilities in Xiaomi’s latest flagship phone, the Xiaomi
MIX4. UWB delivers new levels of smart home convenience through the
rapid and accurate connection of the smartphone to select devices
in the Xiaomi smart home ecosystem, such as Xiaomi Sound Smart
speakers and TVs, and opens the door for expanded use cases across
the IoT.
NXP’s Trimension technology enables the secure
ranging and precision sensing for a new dimension of spatial
context. This precision is the key to delivering a range of smart
connected use cases such as secure hands free access, indoor
navigation, hands free payment, and item tracking. The breadth of
UWB possibilities extends across mobile,
automotive, Internet-of-Things (IoT) and the industrial
space and is rooted in NXP’s expertise and standardization efforts
in bodies such as the FiRa Consortium and the Car Connectivity
Consortium.
Xiaomi’s “Point to connect” simplifies the connectivity of
select devices in its smart home ecosystem. Thanks to UWB’s high
accuracy and directional capabilities, the MIX4 smartphone can
point to compatible Xiaomi devices and display operation control
cards on the phone screen to achieve instant connection and
ultimate operating convenience. This creates ultimate control of
the smart home environment, like a universal remote control with an
intuitive interface.
"The Xiaomi MIX 4 and its new “Point to connect” UWB Technology
showcases our vision to deliver rich experiences in the smart home
and beyond," said Zhang Lei, Vice President of Mi Smartphone and
General Manager of Hardware R&D. "The ability to point your
smartphone and connect seamlessly to a home device is a desirable
feature that offers a new level of convenience, and this is just
the beginning. We are pleased to collaborate with NXP in the area
of UWB to expand the benefits of connectivity in the home and to
provide the ultra-precise localization required for the
next-generation use cases that delight our customers."
"NXP's Trimension UWB portfolio and its rich ecosystem empower
our customers to create a wide range of innovative location-based
user experiences and services that rely on secure ranging," said
Rafael Sotomayor, Executive Vice President and General Manager of
Connectivity and Security for NXP Semiconductors. "The
groundbreaking MIX4 and its associated home device ecosystem
demonstrate Xiaomi’s ability to expand the boundaries of the smart
home and pave the way for expanded UWB use cases.”
