Samsung launches remote access for smart TVs to connect anywhere, anytime

Samsung has just announced the launch of a global remote access function for its smart TVs, allowing users to connect to smart TVs at any time, whether they use a computer or a mobile phone.

More practical is the natural screen projection of the remote device to the smart TV. With this function, the user can cast a screen to a small screen to use the display.

Consumer-oriented functions are mainly used for remote screencasting, as long as connected users can connect smart TVs to control content at any time.

Of course, Samsung will not only develop relatively simple remote projection technology, but Samsung will also cooperate with VMware Horizon to implement browser-based cloud office.

Smart TV is equivalent to a large display, Samsung plans to let users in different locations use VMware Horizon for office collaboration and so on.

Users can remotely access smart TVs anywhere on the world and process documents on smart TVs, which is more than just amplifying the screen content.

Samsung currently only indicates that subsequent users can easily install applications on multiple devices and corresponding cloud service products through smart TV screens.

As for the specific functions, it may not be known until Samsung officially launches the function in 2019. It is not clear which models of TVs are supported.

Samsung said it has integrated its proprietary KNOX security technology into remote capabilities around security issues related to wireless connectivity and cloud services.

Samsung provides secure access to smart TVs through periodic KNOX firmware updates, which are used to avoid security issues such as information disclosure.

KNOX Secure Access Technology has received the Common Criteria security certification, which is the only security solution in the TV industry to receive this certification.
