‘Appcessory’ measures air quality
1 min read
Korean based SK Telecom has launched Air Cube, a portable monitoring device that measures air quality and suggests appropriate actions at emergencies via a designated application on user's smartphone.
Air Cube comes in two models: Air Cube C measures the level of fine dust particles and carbon dioxide; while Air Cube T measures fine dust level and the discomfort index, constructed from temperature and humidity data. Air quality is measured every 15s and the results are shown in five levels, where five is the worst. When the air quality reaches or exceeds level four, the device sounds an alarm.
Measuring 52 x 52 x 52mm and weighing 80g, Air Cube can be connected to users' smartphones using a Bluetooth 4.0 or better connection.
"Air Cube is expected to satisfy consumers' desire for a more pleasant and healthy life," said Park Chul-soon, head of SK's convergence business office. "We will continue to make efforts to enhance customer value by developing diverse smart 'appcessories' that can be connected to smartphones."
