Samsung to collaborate with IBM in developing enterprise solutions

Samsung Electronics Co. will collaborate with International Business Machines (IBM) Corp. to provide enterprises with new 5G, edge computing, and hybrid cloud solutions.

The said solutions would allow businesses to better manage their operations and embrace the fourth industrial revolution.

The planned collaboration will combine IBM's network management, hybrid cloud, edge computing offerings and network expertise, industry solutions driven by artificial intelligence, and Red Hat's open architecture, with Samsung's Galaxy 5G mobile devices and advanced end-to-end enterprise network solutions.

Both companies will also explore how manufacturers can utilize private 5G or 4G networks and 5G mobile devices with Industrial IoT solutions.

According to KC Choi, EVP and Head of Global Mobile B2B Team at Samsung Electronics, they would work with IBM to discover how their devices, mobile IoT, and network solutions can provide frontline workers with access to better data and more actionable insights.

The two firms also intend to collaborate with global mobile operators to harness the power of 5G into public and private networks.

Earlier this year, Samsung and IBM announced a project with the Singapore Infocomm Media Development Authority, and telecom provider M1 to showcase Smart Factory advancements, including 5G-enabled AI analytics and AR capabilities.
