sMedio(TM) Delivers Windows 8 WiFi and NFC Enabled Syncing and Streaming as Part of Their New, Data Mobilization and Cloud Services Strategy.

New products the first in a series, as company maps compelling cloud vision for local / remote wireless data mobility and access solutions around the "multi-device, cloud integrated" connected home.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and TOKYO, Oct. 25 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- sMedio(TM), a leading developer and provider of wireless data management, mobility, and playback solutions, today announced the launch of the first products in a series of planned products, services and technologies around their new data mobilization and cloud services strategy. Together, sMedio's Personal Cloud Solutions will create a comprehensive, cross-platform cloud ecosystem for wireless data management, mobility and access both locally on the home network and remotely through the cloud.

New Windows 8 Anchored Data Access and Mobility Solutions
The new products for Windows 8 and Android ICS will be sMedioTrueLink+(TM) for wireless media transfer and streaming on a local network, and sMedioTrueSync(TM) for wireless or wired data mobility (sync, migrate) between Windows 8 and PCs running legacy Windows OSs. These products represent the core client-side platforms of a robust multi-device local network based ecosystem that is fully compatible with WiFi, DLNA, NFC and other industry standard connectivity modes.

"We are very excited to launch TrueLink+ and TrueSync, as the core foundation of our 'personal cloud' ecosystem," said sMedio VP product, George Tang. "According to our research, with the average consumer using at least three to as many as five computing devices regularly, the need has never been greater for easy - agnostic - device connectivity and seamless - ubiquitous - data management, mobility and anywhere access."

"Our strategy is simple," continued Tang," create a generally open and agnostic architecture that is ultra-compatible, and hyper-connective for a seamless data experience between all a user's personal devices and cloud services - Their "Personal Cloud". So, whether it is streaming their music library across devices on a home network, or updating contacts from a phone to a PC with an NFC touch, or accessing local network based data from anywhere anytime - outside the network, a user's data is easily accessible and manageable between all their devices, from anywhere."

Integrated Cloud Services Strategy
The company also mapped a strategy for extending its local network solutions with a series of integrated cloud services which will create a robust cloud service offering of both premium content services, as well as data management and access services, all integrated within sMedio client-side local network application architecture. The result will be a complete local network plus cloud integrated experience for all of a user's connected devices, data and cloud services.

"Our approach of integrating proprietary cloud services and popular 3(rd) party cloud services alongside (and within) our client software enables us to provide a breadth of best in class cloud solutions most applicable to the user and that are seamlessly accessible at the point of need within the user's personal cloud data experience", Tang stated.. "And we can offer this integrated client - cloud solution without the hurdles and blockage of today's walled garden solutions", he concluded."
