STMicroelectronics will exhibit at MWC Shanghai 2024 (Booth N1.D85) on June 26-28.

At MWC Shanghai 2024, ST will collaborate with its ecosystem partners to present industry-leading solutions. Visitors will be immersed in the transformative power of connectivity with more than 30 demonstrations, all designed to showcase ST’s commitment to technological excellence and especially the future of connected experiences. These will be featured across nine major application zones:
• Smart Charging
• Secure & Connectivity
• IMU Attitude Detection
• Smart Personal Electronics
• Time-of-Flight & Smart Cameras
• Air Quality Monitoring based on FlightSense™
• Bluetooth Connectivity & Low Power MCU
• Edge AI & GUI
• ST60 mmW Contactless Connector

According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a staggering 2.6 billion people are still unconnected, 1.4 billion of whom are unbanked, mainly in emerging countries. This disconnect not only excludes them from the digital revolution, but also hinders economic development.

At MWC Shanghai, STMicroelectronics and KaiOS will showcase a solution designed for informal transportation drivers. Utilizing the ST54L chip, this innovative solution combines an NFC controller with an integrated secure element (SE) IC to transform a simple “KaiOS-equipped smart feature phone” into a powerful tool for informal drivers, enabling the KaiOS “smart feature phone” to provide secure contactless ticketing, replacing cash transactions with contactless ones.

ST and Mobile Physics will present a solution for air quality and smoke detection with ST’s VL53L8 direct Time-of-Flight sensor. The comprehensive system includes the VL53L8 hardware, along with tailored firmware and software, plus pioneering air quality algorithms developed by Mobile Physics. The VL53L8 is capable of measuring PM2.5 concentrations within 10% or 10µg/m³ of the reference sensor. Designed for seamless integration, this system is ideal for mobile phones, personal electronics, and a wide array of IoT products.
