EHang Launches First-Ever Autonomous Aerial Vehicle "EHang 184" at CES

EHang Launches First-Ever Autonomous Aerial Vehicle "EHang 184" at CES
Groundbreaking Vehicle Marks a New Chapter in Transportation; Initial Design Showcased at CES
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- EHang, a Chinese unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) company, unveiled today at CES the EHang 184, the world's first electric, personal Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV) that will achieve humanity's long-standing dream of easy, everyday flight for short-to-medium distances. Developed independently by EHang, the fully ready-to-fly AAV is a manned drone capable of automatically carrying a passenger through the air, simply by entering a destination into its accompanying smartphone app. Due to the 184's fully automated navigation, made possible by EHang's 24/7, real-time flight command center, passengers have no need for a pilot's license - they simply sit back and let the drone take over from there. This first realization of automated flight signifies a major turning point not only for the transportation industry, but also for a huge swath of other fields such as shipping, medical care and retail.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160106/319792
"It's been a lifetime goal of mine to make flight faster, easier and more convenient than ever. The 184 provides a viable solution to the many challenges the transportation industry faces in a safe and energy efficient way," said Eang CEO Huazhi Hu. "I truly believe that EHang will make a global impact across dozens of industries beyond personal travel. The 184 is evocative of a future we've always dreamed of and is primed to alter the very fundamentals of the way we get around."
The EHang 184, which was named for 'one' passenger, 'eight' propellers, and 'four' arms, is the next wave of innovation from EHang. Having already released a successful consumer product with their Ghost Drone line, EHang is now creating another disruptive and innovative technology to propel us towards the future of solo human transport. Significant features include:
Absolute Safety by Design: Automated flight eliminates the most dangerous part of standard modes of transportation: human error.
-- The EHang 184 has built in reinforcements for all flight systems, so
that in the unlikely event that a component does fail, multiple backups
are already in place to seamlessly take over.
-- EHang's independently developed Fail-Safe System ensures that if any
components malfunction, or if there's damage while the AAV is in-flight
(i.e. from a bird), the aircraft will immediately begin taking the
necessary precautions to ensure safety. The 184's Fail-Safe System
automatically evaluates the damage and determines whether the AAV will
need to land to ensure its passenger's safety.
-- The EHang 184 AAV flight control systems have multiple sets of sensors
that provide the drone a constant stream of real-time data.
-- The 184's communication system was also designed with a safety
guarantee: every system is encrypted, and each AAV comes with an
independent key.
-- In the event of an emergency, passengers can elect to halt flight and
simply hover in the air with just one click.
Automation: The 184 uses multiple independent flight control systems to automatically navigate passengers from point A to point B. These systems combine real-time data collected from sensors throughout the flight and automatically plot the fastest and safest route to carry passengers to their destinations.
Remedy for Aging Transportation Industry: The EHang 184 AAV takes off and lands vertically, subsequently eliminating the need for runways. Its foldable design solves the logistical and spatial issues that have constrained airplanes and other modes of air-travel from expanding into daily use. Mass-adoption of the 184 has the potential to streamline congested traffic and dramatically reduce the kinds of accidents associated with any human-operated vehicle.
The Power of Electricity: The 184 is 100 percent electric and doesn't depend on fossil fuels, reducing our reliance on substances that can be environmentally damaging.
Sync-flight Management Platform: EHang is also building an advanced low-altitude flight command center which will be in constant contact with all of its flying vehicles. While the 184 is able to fly during thunderstorms and other extreme weather conditions, the command center can prohibit the AAV from taking off as a precaution.
Drone Specs and Passenger Experience
-- Standing 1.5 meters tall and weighing 200 kilograms (440 pounds), the
EHang 184 AAV has a load capacity of 100 kilograms (220 pounds), with
the maximum output of 106W powered by eight motors. It's designed to
have the capability to carry a single passenger for 23 minutes' duration
flight at sea level at average cruising speed of 100 km/h.
-- The EHang 184 AAV body consists of a cabin for single passenger with a
gull-wing door, a trunk and the power system composed of four arms and
eight propellers on the bottom. The four arms, when folded, allow the
AAV to occupy the same size parking space as consumer cars.
-- Inside the cabin is placed a single seat, with a design similar to an F1
racing car seat. In front of the seat is a tablet console, through which
passengers can easily input commands. Additionally, the cabin's built-in
air conditioner automatically adjusts the in-cabin temperature. Complete
with 4G Wi-Fi Internet, EHang 184 provides passengers with comfortable
and enjoyable riding experiences.
This first glimpse of the EHang 184 offers just a small sense of its massive potential, even beyond transporting passengers. It promises limitless possibilities and will undoubtedly impact the way we all travel in profound ways.

Rediscover the Sea! Meet FiFish, the First Ever Consumer Market Oriented Smart ROV by Taihuoniao D3IN Labs
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Taihuoniao Shenzhen D3IN Future Labs, a subsidiary of China's leading smart hardware incubating platform Taihuoniao, announced the launch of FiFish Atlantis, the world's very first Smart ROV (Remotely Operated underwater Vehicle) for the mass consumer market, at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The ROVs (Remotely Operated underwater Vehicle) can be divided into two categories by which market it's designed for. FiFish Atlantis by Taihuoniao is designed for the consumer market, while some others are for industrial use. Designed and developed in Taihuoniao Shenzhen D3IN Future Labs during the past 10 months, it's equipped with innovative technologies independently developed by Taihuoniao, including the Underwater Propulsion System, the Underwater Video and Illumination System, the Underwater Remote Control & Communication System, and the Real-time Display System, in addition to a zero buoyancy-cable and various sensors for navigation, sonar and depth detection.
A major potential use of FiFish Atlantis is to take videos underwater and send back high-definition videos in real-time. When equipped with professional cameras, it can be used to gather images for Virtual Reality or Augment Reality applications. The FiFish serial products can also work as an underwater operation platform for industrial use when equipped with robotic arms or ocean environment detection system, etc.
"As the first consumer market oriented ROV in the world, FiFish Atlantis can steadily bear water pressure. Its maximum water depth for normal usage is up to -100 meters, and can navigate to any direction freely. Its waterproof capability is among the best we've ever seen. FiFish Atlantis is composed of multiple modules, enabling it to extend its functions almost infinitely when equipped with accessories that have the same level of water pressure resistance. What's more, its battery can last two hours at a full charge -- far more than average level of 30-40 minutes -- which is long enough for daily use," said Zhang Chong, head of Taihuoniao Shenzhen D3IN Future Labs.
Zhang Pingping, head of the FiFish Atlantis project, reveals that the machine uses the "HiGo" design language, which emphasizes interaction and emotional design. The ROV has a slim body full of details. As small as an A4-sized paper, it's very easy to carry. Whether you're swimming or surfing the water, FiFish Atlantis can work together with you like a living companion; when FiFish Atlantis goes underwater, it can be controlled either by underwater joysticks or via a remote control above the water. Thanks to its intuitive design, many users can operate it almost instantly without learning.
"With this ROV, we open the door of the wonderful underwater world," says Wu Wenlong, an experienced scuba diving fan. "When I go down under water, I can say goodbye to those heavy and messy recording machines, and I don't have to let my friends take a video of me with a GoPro. FiFish Atlantis can dive down together with me and record without my interference. In the near future, my buddies can even wear a VR helmet or a pair of VR glasses to experience what I saw under water."
"71% of the earth's surface is covered by water, but only less than 5% has been discovered by human beings. The underwater world is mysterious compared with the land and even the sky," Lei Haibo, founder of Taihuoniao said. "Taihuoniao will develop more ROV products following the launch of FiFish Atlantis. It's time for ordinary people to rediscover the sea."
March to the sea: The next miracle after drones will be created by ROVs
The Remotely Operated underwater Vehicles (ROVs) are developed to replace human for underwater work. Human can only reach to a limited depth below the water surface, usually around -300 meters.
The ROVs are becoming more and more important on human's journey under the sea. As the ocean research deepens, analysts predict that ROVs will become a market the size of hundreds of billions RMB.
Let us rethink the history made by drones. Drones are under spotlight at this year's CES. The global market cap of drones in 2014 has reached $64 billion and will be $115 billion (Est.) by 2023.
The skies are more and more noisy, while the water below us remains quiet. The underwater cameras and their related products are lack of innovation due to technical and designing obstacles. Professional underwater devices are priced at hundreds or thousands of dollars. It's just like the portable aircraft market before drones went popular.
One of China's well-respected ship and aircraft carrier experts who participated in the development of FiFish Atlantis expected it to start a new era when more and more people will be inspired to discover the underwater world, and push forward ocean activities for all mankind.
The FiFish Atlantis ROV is being displayed at Taihuoniao's booth in 71570 Sands Expo, during the 2016 CES in Las Vegas. The company plans to start a crowd-funding campaign in Summer 2016. Meanwhile, the latest development of FiFish Atlantis can be found on Taihuoniao's website http://www.taihuoniao.com.

In Brief: The Move to Hi-Res Audio
While many listeners may believe that high-resolution audio came along with the introduction of the Compact Disc in 1982, constraints on the disc's storage space always prevented CD audio (standardized at 44.1 kHz/16-bit) from fully and completely reproducing the original recorded sound. The advent and subsequent popularity of MP3s only made this problem more pronounced - the necessary compression of these files causes audio information to be lost, thus greatly reducing the audio quality. But with lossless audio file formats, faster Internet speeds, and storage space increasingly easy to come by (and in ever-smaller packages), the push is on to create audio equipment capable of capturing and reproducing true Hi-Res Audio, generally considered to be 96kHz/24-bit or better. The Hi-Res Audio logo certifies that a product meets the Hi-Res Audio standards. Per these standards, headphones must have transducer frequency performance of at least 40 kHz. As a producer of these types of audiophile headphones since 1972, Audio-Technica is well-positioned to provide audio solutions that meet the demands of Hi-Res Audio media formats, allowing for the full reproduction of their extended sonic characteristics.

The Hi-Res Audio logo certifies that a product meets the Hi-Res Audio standards. Per these standards, headphones must have transducer frequency performance of at least 40 kHz. As a producer of these types of audiophile headphones since 1972, Audio-Technica is well-positioned to provide audio solutions that meet the demands of Hi-Res Audio media formats, allowing for the full reproduction of their extended sonic characteristics.

Haier Vastly Improves Wine Preservation with the Introduction of Solid-State Cooling Technology
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Haier, a global leader in consumer electronics and appliances, will demonstrate a wine cellar using a new alternative cooling system at CES 2016 (Central Hall Booth #12814). Haier has developed the next step in wine cooling systems by using a solid-state chip, coupled with H20/C02 heat exchange technology. When compared with current cooling compressors, this electronic chip weighs 25 times less and is 100 times smaller.
"To maintain its quality, wine requires precise storage conditions with optimal environment needs to preserve taste that can be affected by subtle vibrations or temperature changes," said Paul Riley, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Haier America. "This advanced compressor-less cooling technology commercialized by Haier creates the ideal storage conditions for your wine."
"As a technology company, Phononic is excited to partner with Haier to innovate disruptive solid-state cooling solutions," said Tony Atti, CEO, Phononic. "Haier has created an award-winning wine cellar that perfectly preserves wine and we believe this is just the beginning of a cold storage revolution for the home."
No Vibration
To maintain its quality, wine requires particular storage conditions as any vibrations can disorder its molecular structure. When in standard mode, with solid-state cooling, the WS40GDA uses advanced solid state cooling components and a heat exchange system with no moving parts, creating a completely still wine storage environment.
Precise Temperature Control
Consistent temperature and humidity are indispensable factors for the ideal storage of wine. Temperature affects taste and lifespan while humidity variations can cause the wine to oxidize or change odor. Haier's solid state wine cellar uses dual power control electronics realizing temperature fluctuations less than +0.5°F"and consistent humidity.
Low Noise
Contemporary cooling and refrigeration products use a compressor, with a typical noise level of 38 - 42 dB. The use of Haier's solid-state cooling approach removes the need for a compressor, meaning the appliance creates no noise when in standard mode and is nearly silent even when operating in excess of a 90°F ambient environment.
Sustainability
Haier's solid state wine chiller uses H2O/CO2 refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 1, as compared to >1700 for compressor-based systems. Furthermore the heat exchange capacity is 8X higher than ordinary systems reducing energy consumption to meet the California Energy Standard.

This specifically designed combination of high-quality music and intelligent in-ear coaching, made possible by advanced sensor readings, enables the award-winning Jabra Sports Range to offer a unique solution in the sports audio market and empower users all over the world to transform their lives.
As part of GN Store Nord (GN) group, Jabra is uniquely able to create hearable solutions that combine intelligence, sensors and great sound quality. GN uses world-leading expertise in the human ear, sound, wireless technologies, software and miniaturization to deliver medical grade audio solutions under the ReSound brand and professional and consumer grade solutions under the Jabra brand. This unique combination of medical, professional and consumer expertise in one business gives Jabra unprecedented advantages in hearables and intelligent audio.
Jabra is investing in the future of intelligent and interactive audio with its Intelligent Headset Developer Edition, the next generation of headsets. This revolutionary new sound experience adapts to location, head movement, and application. Integrated advanced sensors empower the '3D experience', using GPS, gyroscope, compass and accelerometers to provide head-tracking that instantly and intuitively enable the user's requirements depending on what they are looking at or doing.
The 3D audio experience is identical to the way humans hear sound, allowing the listener to hear where sounds are coming from. The headsets themselves are also set to drive innovation, as they are already available for mobile app developers to use the intelligence provided by sensor data to create some of the most interactive apps possible.
The headsets are available for developers at present, and are fully certified with free downloadable software development kits. The potential benefits are already being recognised. Microsoft and UK Guide Dogs have selected the Jabra Intelligent Headset for a life-changing application. The new research collaboration will enable people living with sight loss to achieve more independence in their day-to-day lives.
"Intelligent audio is an important underlying technology for the Cities Unlocked project and we're interested in Jabra's capabilities in this area. We look forward to exploring this further in future phases of the project." - Jarnail Chudge, Microsoft.
Using intelligence from sensors places applications at the heart of future audio innovation. Jabra has already successfully capitalised on the intelligence delivered by sensors in audio devices. Apps are crucial to how this intelligence is used to ensure the mobile and audio experience continues to adapt to changing lifestyles. For example, the Jabra Sport Life app used with the Jabra Sport range, and the Intelligent Headset Developer Edition that is set to be at the heart of mobile app development.
Rene Svendsen-Tune, CEO at Jabra comments: "The future of audio is about adding intelligence. It's about applying innovation to more aspects of sound than were thought possible before. In the future, sound innovation will be about how you listen, where you listen and why. Sound technology will be at the heart of people's lives, in more interactive and intuitive ways, and new layers of intelligence will enable that to happen!"
Jabra's vision of incorporating sensors, intelligence, innovation and apps at the heart of the user experience means it will continue to deliver intelligent audio solutions for consumers today and tomorrow.

Live ATSC 3.0 Broadcast During CES 2016 Delivers 4K UHD HDR To Next-Gen LG OLED 4K TVs

Live ATSC 3.0 Broadcast During CES 2016 Delivers 4K UHD HDR To Next-Gen LG OLED 4K TVs
LG Technology in Majority of Transmission System Standard Enables Landmark Broadcast, Ushering in New TV Era
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- With its first live over-the-air broadcast of 4K Ultra HD TV with high dynamic range (HDR) using the new ATSC 3.0 Candidate Standard, digital television pioneer LG Electronics (LG) is ushering in the era of next-generation television broadcasting at CES((R)) 2016.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160106/319690
The landmark broadcast, from Las Vegas station KHMP-TV's transmitter on Nevada's Black Mountain, is delivering pristine 4K HDR content, received for the first time on LG's new ATSC 3.0-enabled receivers at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The signal has stunning detail with four times the resolution of today's HDTV and offers the lifelike realism of HDR's enhanced contrast, brightness and shadow detail.
KHMP Channel 18, owned and operated by DNV Spectrum Holdings, a broadcast group that also owns other stations in the United States, is broadcasting in Las Vegas using the ATSC 3.0 Physical Layer Candidate Standard under an experimental broadcast license from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. Core technologies developed by LG are included in the majority of the Physical Layer Candidate Standard.
The transmission field trial during CES exemplifies the very robust transmission and high bandwidth for 4K made possible for the first time using the ATSC 3.0 next-generation standard developed by the Advanced Television Systems Committee.
"We are proud that LG technology is behind the majority of the elements of the Physical Layer transmission system," said Dr. Skott Ahn, president and chief technology officer, LG Electronics. "ATSC 3.0 is a collaborative effort among many broadcast technology experts, and LG technology is part of at least 10 of the 15 building blocks of the new Candidate Standard."
Among the many LG contributions to ATSC 3.0, the company's technologies are included in the Physical Layer Candidate Standard's scrambler, forward error correction, bit-interleaver, mapper, MIMO, time-interleaver, OFDM framer, frequency-interleaver, pilot and tone reserve, and guard interval.
"Thanks in large part to LG's technology at the heart of the Physical Layer Candidate Standard, this robust system will bring a new level of flexibility for broadcasters and exciting new services for viewers. ATSC 3.0 promises to usher in the new Golden Age of broadcast television," Ahn added.
Expected to redefine TV broadcasting for decades to come, the ATSC 3.0 next-generation broadcast standard provides higher capacity to deliver 4K UHD services, robust reception on mobile devices and improved spectrum efficiency. The increased payload capacity of the physical layer combined with HEVC encoding will allow broadcasters many more options when planning their broadcast service offerings.
"LG is leading the way in development and commercialization of ATSC 3.0 in the U.S. and in Korea," said Ahn, who explained that this week's Las Vegas broadcast comes on the heels of other broadcast field trials conducted in the United States and South Korea over the past 18 months by LG Electronics, its U.S. R&D Lab Zenith, and leading broadcast equipment provider GatesAir.
Those real-world field tests in Seoul, Cleveland, Ohio, and Madison, Wisconsin, represented key mileposts in LG's pioneering developments of core technologies behind the new ATSC 3.0 Standard, he said. "The Las Vegas CES broadcast, with the approved ATSC Candidate Standard transmission system, again shows how we are partnering with broadcasters around the world to drive adoption of next-generation broadcasting technology."
Development of ATSC 3.0 technologies represents the latest collaboration among LG, Zenith and GatesAir, co-inventors of the transmission system behind the ATSC A/153 Mobile Digital TV Standard, adopted by the industry in 2009. Zenith invented the core transmission system at the heart of today's ATSC A/53 Digital Television Standard, approved by the Federal Communications Commission in 1996.

Hush launches and begins shipping the World's First Smart Earplugs

Hush launches and begins shipping the World's First Smart Earplugs
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- from ShowStoppers @ CES 2016 -- Today, Hush Technology, Inc. announced the launching of its first product, the world's first smart earplugs, at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Hush(TM) will begin shipments of the long awaited Kickstarter orders this month. The product was initially funded 6 times its original $100,000 goal on Kickstarter, raising almost $600,000 in the span of 40 days back in December 2015.
Hush Smart Earplugs help people sleep in noisy environments, whether it's a snoring spouse, loud neighbors, or whatever else might disturb sleep. By combining a sound machine into earplugs, Hush drowns out disturbing noises and lulls users asleep with soothing sounds such as white noise, waterfall, and rain. In order to still hear notifications that are needed such as an alarm clock or an emergency phone call, Hush connects wirelessly to smartphones through Bluetooth(®) so users can select through the Hush app what notifications they allow to disturb them.
"To bring a simple idea birthed out of a student's struggle to fall asleep in his noisy college apartment into a real consumer product has been an incredibly exhilarating experience," said Daniel Lee, CEO of Hush. "The best part is that the real excitement is just about to begin as releasing this first shipment will improve the lives of thousands of people around the world. We are providing a clean easy-to-use solution to noise, a fundamental deterrent to the core human need for sleep, so to begin to hear testimonies of how we've changed lives by doing so will be enormously fulfilling."

Casio Spotlights Innovation and Creativity at CES 2016
New Smart Outdoor Watch, Expressive Grand Hybrid Piano and More will be on Display at Casio's Booth
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio America, Inc. is excited to announce that it will exhibit an extended portfolio including the new Smart Outdoor Watch, the Grand Hybrid Piano, cameras, projectors, and more during the consumer electronics industry's largest tradeshow - CES 2016. The products will be on display at Casio's booth in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center (#11006) from January 6-9, 2016.
"We are extremely excited to showcase a variety of new products at CES 2016 that demonstrate Casio's long-standing commitment to creating innovative consumer electronics," said Shigenori Itoh, CEO of Casio America, Inc. "Our newest introduction, the Smart Outdoor Watch WSD-F10, embodies that commitment by combining comfort and style with cutting-edge technology to deliver a watch that is smart in features and functionality. It is an exciting time at Casio and we encourage everyone to experience these new products for themselves."
Timepieces
The booth's main exhibit will showcase Casio's full portfolio of men's timepieces, including the popular G-SHOCK collection, as well as the company's new Smart Outdoor Watch, the WSD-F10. Officially unveiled at Casio's CES press conference, the WSD-F10 is the company's first official entry into the smart watch category, and features a dual-layered LCD comprised of a color and monochrome touch display. The new watch utilizes the Android Wear platform and comes equipped with a wide range of useful apps and features that are perfect for a tech-savvy outdoor enthusiast. Users can check direction, altitude, atmospheric pressure, sunrise and sunset times, tide graphs and activity graphs, and more. They can also tap into apps such as email alert, weather, maps, voice search and more to help them stay connected while navigating the outdoors.
In addition to the new smart watch, Casio's G-SHOCK MTGG1000D will also be on display. This timepiece is the third model in the MT-G series and is now equipped with GPS Hybrid capabilities. Timekeeping is captured using a GPS Atomic Solar Hybrid feature capable of receiving both Multi-Band 6 radio waves and GPS satellite signals to automatically update time anywhere in the world. Other key features include Triple G Resist, Smart Access Crown and Tough Solar Technology.
Electronic Musical Instruments
Casio's newest digital pianos, the award-winning CELVIANO Grand Hybrid GP-500BP and GP-300, are the perfect combination of innovation and tradition. Named a CES 2016 Innovation Award Honoree for its groundbreaking design and engineering in cutting edge technology, Casio's CELVIANO Grand Hybrid truly delivers an experience like that of a grand piano. The GP-500BP and GP-300 are equipped with Casio's new AiR Grand Sound Source, which recreates every sound and aspect of an acoustic piano, including sympathetic string resonance, damper resonance and key-off response. Additionally, both models feature a Natural Grand Hammer Action Keyboard, which delivers an authentic grand piano hammer movement for a flawless feel and sound. Other key features include 60 pre-set songs, 10 user songs, hall simulator, and 256-note polyphony.
LampFree(®) Projectors
This year, Casio expanded its EcoLite((TM)) series of LampFree(®) projectors with the XJ-V2, which offers all of the functions of its predecessor, the XJ-V1, but for an attractive base price lower than before. Casio's SSI light source - which uses both a laser and a LED - in the XJ-V2 has a lifespan of up to 20,000 hours, eliminating the need for lamp replacements, and offering electricity consumption that is approximately half that of a mercury lamp projector. Additionally, the XJ-V2 reaches its maximum brightness of 3000 lumens in as little as five seconds from the time the power is switched on. The projector can immediately be turned off and then used again right away when powered back on without the need for a cool-down period.

New Sanitizers for Smart Phones and Tablets Can Reduce The Spread Of Super Bugs In Under 30 Seconds
Healthcare technology company, Seal Shield LLC, announces the SKY(TM) family of UVC Sanitizers, designed to kill bacteria and viruses on hard to clean consumer electronics.
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CES -- Seal Shield LLC (Jacksonville, FL), today will demonstrate the SKY(TM) family of UV Sanitizers at the CES- Consumer Electronics Show, Sands Booth #73213. The SKY(TM) is the world's first UV Sanitizer to kill more than 99.95% of pathogens in less than 30 seconds. Designed for use in hospitals to protect patients and practitioners from dangerous cross contamination infections, the Sky is also the perfect solution for mobile retailers and IT / MIS professionals who service and support mobile devices of unknown or dubious origins.

"Mobile device hygiene is imperative in today's pathogen rich environments. SKY(TM) was designed to be easy to use, and it can safely disinfect virtually any mobile device in under 30 seconds," states Seal Shield CEO, Brad Whitchurch.
The SKY(TM) UVC sanitizers use high intensity, 254 nanometer UVC light, at close proximity of less than 60 thousandths of an inch, to thoroughly disinfect a tablet or smart phone and achieve up to a 6 log reduction in pathogens such as MRSE, VRE, MDR-gram negative, Norovirus and Cdiff.
The Seal Shield SKY(TM) is currently available in 2 models. The SKY(TM) 6Xi features a horizontal orientation, ideal for desktop applications. The SKY(TM) 7Xi features vertical orientation and can be wall mounted or placed on a mobile cart. The SKY(TM) sanitizers are the latest additions to Seal Shield's family of UV infection prevention devices which include the ElectroClave(TM) and MoonBean(TM) UV sanitizers.

DJI Introduces Phantom 3 4K and Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition

Posted on January 6, 2016 at 11:14:01 AM
DJI Introduces Phantom 3 4K and Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition
New drones meet consumer and professional demand for enhanced features and style
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the world leader in creative aerial technology, announced at CES the enhancement of its two flagship drone series, unveiling the Phantom 3 4K and the Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition.
The newest model in DJI's Phantom 3 flagship series combines the best from previous Phantom models and the most-popular features of more advanced models at a highly competitive price. The Phantom 3 4K's introduction is the result of strong consumer demand for top-resolution cameras and ultrasonic sensors, which enable flight indoors and in areas with a weak GPS signal.
The Phantom 3 4K - as its name suggests - comes with an integrated, gimbal-stabilized 4K camera and has remote-control buttons for playback, video recording and camera shutter. Instead of DJI's Lightbridge video-transmission system, the Phantom 3 4K uses built-in WiFi to transmit the video downlink and on-screen data. The drone's WiFi video downlink is effective up to a distance of 1.2 km and will stay aloft for 25 minutes on a full battery charge.
"The Phantom 3 4K fills an important gap in our Phantom portfolio. It offers a high-quality camera and smart navigation system for a lower price than our professional models. This is possible, as we have replaced the DJI Lightbridge system with a built-in WiFi link," said Paul Pan, DJI's Senior Product Manager.
In celebration of DJI's 10th Anniversary, the promotional price of the DJI Phantom 3 4K edition is US$799. This promotion also extends to the Phantom 3 Advanced model now priced at US$799 and the Phantom 3 Standard at US$499. The above offers will be available starting Jan 6, 2016. Price may be subject to change.
DJI also responded to calls from flight professionals for a stylistic change in its Inspire 1 Pro. The Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition comes with a black controller, battery and a shell with a high-quality matte finish. It comes equipped with DJI's best-in-class Micro Four Thirds camera, the Zenmuse X5. The original Inspire 1 Pro, with a white shell, battery case and controller, will continue to be sold alongside the new model.
"One of the most-frequent questions we get from professional drone operators is 'when will DJI come out with a black Inspire?' The answer is 'now,'" said Ferdinand Wolf, Manager of DJI Studios Europe. "In addition to top quality and durability, the styling and appearance of equipment are important to professionals."
The price for the Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition is expected to be around USD4,799.

New drones meet consumer and professional demand for enhanced features and style
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the world leader in creative aerial technology, announced at CES the enhancement of its two flagship drone series, unveiling the Phantom 3 4K and the Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition.
The newest model in DJI's Phantom 3 flagship series combines the best from previous Phantom models and the most-popular features of more advanced models at a highly competitive price. The Phantom 3 4K's introduction is the result of strong consumer demand for top-resolution cameras and ultrasonic sensors, which enable flight indoors and in areas with a weak GPS signal.
The Phantom 3 4K - as its name suggests - comes with an integrated, gimbal-stabilized 4K camera and has remote-control buttons for playback, video recording and camera shutter. Instead of DJI's Lightbridge video-transmission system, the Phantom 3 4K uses built-in WiFi to transmit the video downlink and on-screen data. The drone's WiFi video downlink is effective up to a distance of 1.2 km and will stay aloft for 25 minutes on a full battery charge.
"The Phantom 3 4K fills an important gap in our Phantom portfolio. It offers a high-quality camera and smart navigation system for a lower price than our professional models. This is possible, as we have replaced the DJI Lightbridge system with a built-in WiFi link," said Paul Pan, DJI's Senior Product Manager.
In celebration of DJI's 10th Anniversary, the promotional price of the DJI Phantom 3 4K edition is US$799. This promotion also extends to the Phantom 3 Advanced model now priced at US$799 and the Phantom 3 Standard at US$499. The above offers will be available starting Jan 6, 2016. Price may be subject to change.
DJI also responded to calls from flight professionals for a stylistic change in its Inspire 1 Pro. The Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition comes with a black controller, battery and a shell with a high-quality matte finish. It comes equipped with DJI's best-in-class Micro Four Thirds camera, the Zenmuse X5. The original Inspire 1 Pro, with a white shell, battery case and controller, will continue to be sold alongside the new model.
"One of the most-frequent questions we get from professional drone operators is 'when will DJI come out with a black Inspire?' The answer is 'now,'" said Ferdinand Wolf, Manager of DJI Studios Europe. "In addition to top quality and durability, the styling and appearance of equipment are important to professionals."
The price for the Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition is expected to be around USD4,799.

Portable power: Car charger utilizing Covestro polycarbonate keeps devices juiced up ... even when the drive is done
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- When on the road and your mobile device is running on empty, a car charger is an invaluable accessory. To solve the frustration of reaching a destination with only a partial charge, mobile hardware company Nomad has taken the standard car charger one step further with the Nomad Roadtrip. The Roadtrip is an innovative car charger with a built-in portable battery for on-the-go use.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160106/319685
When designing for the modern nomad, materials must be sleek, tough and lightweight. To meet these essential requirements, Nomad chose Makrolon(®) 2207 polycarbonate from Covestro LLC for the device's protective outer shell.
"Materials selection is important to us, and we find Makrolon(®) 2207 polycarbonate has the right attributes for our needs," said Brian Hahn, chief of product, Nomad. "The polycarbonate is easy to work with, highly consistent and provides a strong, high-impact shell for Roadtrip that withstands daily use. Several of our products use the material and we've found it holds up well for our applications."
Roadtrip charges a mobile device via the car's standard 12V power outlet and features a 3,000mAh backup battery inside that provides power on the go. Roadtrip uses pass-through charging, in which the plugged-in device is charged first, followed by the internal battery. It has two charging ports, a standard USB Type-A port and a USB Type-C port for charging the latest gadgets.
"For active mobile users, light weight and durability are key characteristics for portable chargers," said Joel Matsco, industry segment manager, Covestro LLC. "By developing a protective outer layer for the Roadtrip with Makrolon(®) polycarbonate, Nomad offers consumers an elegant solution that fits their on-the-go lifestyles without weighing them down."
Makrolon(®) 2207 polycarbonate is a high-flow thermoplastic material suitable for thin-wall molding. This polycarbonate grade has easy-release properties and is an excellent choice for applications that need a durable, heat-stable material.
"We are thrilled that Nomad has maintained confidence in our materials and we are pleased to continue our relationship with a company that is designing innovative products for today's mobile world," said Jeffrey Kozody, field market development, Covestro LLC.
Makrolon(®) 2207 polycarbonate is utilized in other Nomad products including the NomadClip, NomadKey and NomadPlus.

See What Develops at CES 2016 with Iconic Lifestyle Brand Polaroid
Polaroid to Exhibit a Number of Fun, Innovative and Affordable Products at their Booth in Central Hall #13514
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Polaroid is introducing a host of new innovative products in their booth at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, helping make the latest technology, from instant print cameras to 3D printers and drones, accessible to consumers globally. Polaroid invites attendees to experience these products first hand at booth 13514 in Las Vegas, January 6 - 9.
"Polaroid has become more than a household name - it has become one of the most recognizable and trusted lifestyle brands in the world," said Scott W. Hardy, President and CEO of Polaroid. "This year's CES marks the debut of an array of exciting new products, from instant print cameras and smartphones to 3D printers and drones. All of these products embody the Polaroid core values of instant sharing, fun, ease-of-use and accessibility, offering consumers a truly unique line of products and services that are distinctly Polaroid."
Capturing and Sharing All of Life's Moments
Polaroid is introducing the next generation of instant print cameras, the Polaroid Snap+, at CES this year, bringing an exciting update to the wildly popular Polaroid Snap. The second generation camera incorporates a wide range of updated features including a 3.5-inch touchscreen, a 13 megapixel CMOS, and 1080p full HD video recording capability. Perhaps the most exciting addition to the Polaroid Snap+ is remote connectivity via Bluetooth to the Polaroid print app. This will allow the camera to connect to and print images from other devices such as smartphones and tablets. Live demonstrations of the Polaroid line of instant print products and Polaroid Cube family of lifestyle action cameras will take place in the booth throughout the show.
Live demos will also be conducted by renowned, award-winning professional photographer Marc Serota, founder of the newly launched Polaroid University. Polaroid University is a comprehensive online photography education program, with a large focus on smartphone photography, taught by professional photographers. The structure of the program allows students of all skill levels to learn photography and improve their skills at their own pace. At the show, Serota and the rest of the Polaroid University team will conduct tutorials including a live portrait photoshoot and professional photographer tips for using the Polaroid Cube lifestyle action camera and Polaroid Snap instant print camera.
Today's Innovative Technology, at an Accessible Price
This year's show also marks the debut of several new and innovative product lines from the Polaroid brand. Launching at the show is the Polaroid ModelSmart 250S 3D printer, making the brand the first global household name to enter the 3D printing market. Available to consumers across Europe, the Polaroid ModelSmart 250S 3D printer offers everyone access to the magic of 3D printing in their own home.
To celebrate the debut of the product, the brand is launching the 'How Polaroid Are You?' pixel challenge. 3D puzzles of the iconic Polaroid Pixel have been created using the Polaroid ModelSmart 250S. Each day in the booth there will be two competitions; the 'Newbie' & 'Veteran' with both being a 'fastest first' to become 'So Polaroid'' with the latter being done while blindfolded. Competitions will be held daily at 2PM, and winners will receive fantastic Polaroid prizes.
Debuting at the show is also the first line of Polaroid drones, available exclusively in Europe. All drones feature a camera with HD options available, as well as WiFi-enabled models to stream video to a smartphone or tablet. Also launching at CES is the first line up of Polaroid 4K UHD LED connected TVs. Thanks to an exciting new smart TV partnership, the new Polaroid 4K connected TV line will provide consumers with an affordable option to stream their favorite content in stunning ultra-high definition.
Polaroid Goes Mobile
Polaroid is also introducing several new smartphone lines at CES 2016. New additions include two new unlocked smartphone models for the US market, the Polaroid Power and Polaroid Snap. Unlocked smartphones allow users to avoid binding contracts, commitments and cost-prohibitive barriers and provide the ability to select any participating network or plan. The new additions to the Polaroid unlocked smartphone line provide consumers with competitive features and sleek, modern designs, all at an affordable price point. New smartphone models for the European and Mexican markets will also be on display.
Polaroid Behind the Wheel
At CES 2015, Polaroid launched their first line of easy-to-use in-car dashcams. This year, the Wi-Fi-enabled Polaroid PD-W63C will be joining the collection. The camera's Wi-Fi capabilities offer easy control through an Android or iOS app, while allowing for instant sharing of videos with friends and family or in the case of an incident. Along with the line of dashcams, also on display will be the Polaroid PCB-A56J backup camera system, comprised of a weather-proof camera and a 4.3" full-color mounted LCD monitor to offer drivers a greater sense of security while their vehicle is shifted into reverse.

CompTIA Rings in the New Year with New CompTIA A+® Certification Exams
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- CompTIA, the information technology (IT) industry trade association and the leading provider of vendor-neutral skills certifications for the world's IT workforce, said today it has launched new exams for its flagship certification, CompTIA A+.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20130107/DC38135LOGO
The new CompTIA A+ 900 series exams, available worldwide, reflect the evolving realities of today's IT infrastructure and the expanding responsibilities of the IT professionals tasked with managing and maintaining IT applications, devices, networks and systems.
"Today's IT technicians support a broader variety of computing devices and operating systems than ever before," says Todd Thibodeaux, president and CEO, CompTIA.
"An IT technician has to be knowledgeable working with tablets, smartphones, laptops and desktops running iOS, Android, Windows and OS X connected to secure local networks and the cloud all at the same time," Thibodeaux says. "The updated CompTIA A+ exams reflect this reality."
The CompTIA A+ 900 series exams feature new cutting-edge content in areas critical to IT operations, including security, networking, operating systems, IT operations, troubleshooting and technical support.
"The IT support professional is the front line in the fight against security breaches, as they're likely the first ones who have to identify that something out of the ordinary is going on," notes Dr. James Stanger, senior director, products, CompTIA.
Eight of the nine exam domains in the CompTIA A+ 900 series exams touch on security topics, requiring candidates to have a deeper mastery of security concepts. Candidates are tested on their ability to apply security concepts, including supporting and securing access to data by properly using authentication, access control and encryption.
Infrastructure and networks are also more complex, with IT professionals supporting on premise equipment, cloud applications and combinations of the two, according to Stanger.
The new exams cover the basics of cloud computing, virtualization, desktop imaging and deployment.
Candidates must demonstrate an ability to apply core concepts and protocols such as IPv4, IPv6, DHCP and subnet mask to set up and support wired and wireless networks. They're also tested on working with mobile, server and traditional operating systems from Android and iOS to Windows and Linux.
"Troubleshooting also takes a greater role in the new exams," Stanger says. "The demand on technical support and the expectations of users requires them to have a broader knowledgebase and to solve problems quickly and accurately."
Certification candidates are tested on their ability to follow and use decision trees for diagnosing, resolving and documenting common hardware and software issues across a variety of devices; and applying principles of customer service to help resolve IT issues.
The previous versions of the CompTIA A+ exams (220-801 and 220-802) are available through the end of June 2016. Individuals currently studying for these exams are encouraged to continue their preparation and test on the 800 series exams.
CompTIA A+ is globally recognized and carries ISO/ANSI accreditation status. More than one million IT professionals in countries around the world have earned the CompTIA A+ credential since it was introduced in 1993.

SubPac Brings A New Physical Dimension In Audio To Enhance Your Virtual Reality & Gaming Experience
New SubPac S2 and M2 Personal Tactile Audio Systems Deliver High Fidelity Audio to The Body, Providing A Whole New Level of Immersion, Engagement and Emotion to Your Entertainment Experience
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SubPac to showcase the SubPac S2 (Seatback Personal Tactile Audio System) and the SubPac M2 (Wearable Personal Tactile Audio System) at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show. Today's consumer is more technologically advanced than ever before and expects innovative, breakthrough tech. SubPac's personal tactile audio systems offer the end user an immersive listening experience that is new to the market by adding the physical dimension of sound. The SubPac delivers a unique audio experience in a visceral way that makes you feel your surroundings in the virtual world.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160106/319619
Starting off as a Kickstarter campaign, the first SubPac was developed in 2013 with the SubPac S2 following a year later. Originally intended as a reference tool for music producers and sound designers, the goal was to develop a high fidelity tactile experience. Then in 2015, SubPac designed the M2 wearable model. The technology is in active use by some of the world's biggest producers, performers, mixers and composers in production studios and nightclubs around the world.
Since then, the application of SubPac's Personal Tactile Audio System is continuing to expand, with its adaptation into a variety of industries. Examples include the installation of the SubPac technology in the 2015 Peugeot 'Fractal' concept car, featured at the Frankfurt Automotive Show.
Recently, SubPac has been enhancing the VR space with its ability to be connected as a plug and play system. Surrounded by a virtual world experience, SubPac can now help people experience the virtual environment by feeling the environment around them through sound. Whether it's the blast of the Death Star, the growl of a Formula One race car engine as it roars towards the finish line, or the entrancing song of a blue whale in VR, SubPac allows sound to touch your senses in a way that's personal, immersive and unforgettable.
"There is no VR without physical immersion," says SubPac CEO John Alexiou. "Our high-fidelity solution, SubPac, is already being used by thousands of audio professionals in leading studios around the world. The possibilities of immersive experiences in VR are limitless and we are truly excited to play a meaningful role in how it is shaped. "
Virtual Reality and Gaming is the next logical step for SubPac, allowing content creators the opportunity to develop an emotion and feeling throughout the body using tactile audio, which until now was limited to just a headset. As a result, SubPac has been integrated into several of biggest movie-based VR experiences. One example is the partnership between Universal Pictures, Samsung and SubPac, the "Jurassic World: Apatosaurus" is a two-and-a-half minute experience where viewers are immersed in a completely authentic 360-degree, fully immersive view of the Apatosaurus environment. "Jurassic World: Apatosaurus" was engineered with the SubPac in mind. The technology transfers the low frequencies that users love directly to their body to create a completely engaging and emotional experience.

Since then, the application of SubPac's Personal Tactile Audio System is continuing to expand, with its adaptation into a variety of industries. Examples include the installation of the SubPac technology in the 2015 Peugeot 'Fractal' concept car, featured at the Frankfurt Automotive Show.
Recently, SubPac has been enhancing the VR space with its ability to be connected as a plug and play system. Surrounded by a virtual world experience, SubPac can now help people experience the virtual environment by feeling the environment around them through sound. Whether it's the blast of the Death Star, the growl of a Formula One race car engine as it roars towards the finish line, or the entrancing song of a blue whale in VR, SubPac allows sound to touch your senses in a way that's personal, immersive and unforgettable.
"There is no VR without physical immersion," says SubPac CEO John Alexiou. "Our high-fidelity solution, SubPac, is already being used by thousands of audio professionals in leading studios around the world. The possibilities of immersive experiences in VR are limitless and we are truly excited to play a meaningful role in how it is shaped. "
Virtual Reality and Gaming is the next logical step for SubPac, allowing content creators the opportunity to develop an emotion and feeling throughout the body using tactile audio, which until now was limited to just a headset. As a result, SubPac has been integrated into several of biggest movie-based VR experiences. One example is the partnership between Universal Pictures, Samsung and SubPac, the "Jurassic World: Apatosaurus" is a two-and-a-half minute experience where viewers are immersed in a completely authentic 360-degree, fully immersive view of the Apatosaurus environment. "Jurassic World: Apatosaurus" was engineered with the SubPac in mind. The technology transfers the low frequencies that users love directly to their body to create a completely engaging and emotional experience.

Celeno Debuts Its ControlAIR Wi-Fi Management Software to Ensure Exceptional Performance in the Home of Tomorrow
Technology allows robust multi-Gbps Wi-Fi service in the home by efficiently deploying multiple smart Wi-Fi access points and extenders
LAS VEGAS, January 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Celeno Communications [http://www.celeno.com ], a leading provider of high-performance
Wi-Fi chips and software for demanding home networking applications, today announced the
availability of their advanced enterprise-grade ControlAIR(TM) multi-AP Wi-Fi controller
for the home network. The industry-first technology enables "zero-touch" provisioning and
self-optimizing Wi-Fi throughput in the home across multiple smart Wi-Fi access points,
repeaters, extenders, IoT hubs and gateways. The result is a dramatically improved user
experience with a smarter distribution of Wi-Fi capacity throughout the home. Targeting
service providers and OEMs, Celeno is integrating its ControlAIR software suite with RDK-B
industry-standard Gateway software framework.
Traditionally, service providers and consumers deployed a single Wi-Fi Access Point in
the home to provide internet access wirelessly. With the increase in broadband speeds, the
overload on access points (with 10s of connected Wi-Fi devices in a typical home) and the
laws of physics which dictate a degraded Wi-Fi signal quality the larger the house, Wi-Fi
has become the "last mile" bottleneck. To deliver a true Gbps bi-directional Wi-Fi home
network enabling 4K and HD video streaming, video uploads, file shares, cloud storage and
more to every device in the home, a new approach has to be taken.
"With ControlAIR, we haven't just improved the Wi-Fi experience for consumers and
providers, we've actually solved one of the biggest industry-wide problems of our time and
changed the conventional wisdom of the industry," said Gilad Rozen, Founder and CEO of
Celeno. "We believe that the best solution to allow for Gbps wireless networks in the home
is to deploy managed multi-access point home networks rather than invest in endlessly
beefing up single access points. Celeno developed ControlAIR to optimize performance and
connectivity across such a multi-AP home network to bring Gbps Wi-Fi to consumer devices
efficiently and cost effectively."Â
ControlAIR is the industry's only effective software solution to increase throughput
using multiple access points in the home by adding smart cluster connectivity and dynamic
Radio Resource Management (RRM) addressing the move towards a "Small cells" Wi-Fi network
or "Sprinklers" architecture for the wireless home of tomorrow. The ControlAIR software
allows for wireless home networks that offer vastly improved coverage, expanded capacity
and speeds that consistently exceed one Gigabit per second. ControlAIR also allows
increased power efficiency and less induced interference on adjacent networks.
The ControlAIR software includes the following modules:
1. Connectivity management - self-optimizes the effective throughput to each Wi-Fi
client device in the home by dynamically steering it to the right access point and even
radio band. In addition the module balances loads between the various access points.
Working in real time it even allows in-home with minimal effect on the connectivity and
user experience.
2. Radio Resource Management (RRM) - With the unlicensed spectrum becoming more
congested with the introduction of 802.11ac Wi-Fi, managing this scarce resource
intelligently becomes a necessity. ControlAIR software is dynamically changing the radio
parameters of each Access Point in the home to best utilize the available spectrum and
ensure perfect co-existence.
3. Configuration management - "zero touch" provisioning of all access points in the
home with correct security credentials, Wi-Fi Channels, Wi-Fi SSID names, etc. to ensure
seamless operation and roaming of clients in the home.
The ControlAIR software agents are embedded in the Wi-Fi Access Point devices in the
home and are also available for use with RDK-B and OpenWRT industry-standard gateway and
router software frameworks. The solution's open architecture has been validated with a
variety of Wi-Fi radio silicon solutions from leading vendors. ControlAIR software first
version will be ready for integration with OEM's devices in the first quarter of 2016.
ControlAIR will be showcased at CES 2016 in Las Vegas in the Celeno's suite at the
Venetian.

LG Electronics Expands U.S. IoT Portfolio With All-In-One Smart Security Device
Unique LG Smart Security Solution Combines LG Smart Technology, ADT Professional Monitoring and Video Hosting
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics today announced a new all-in-one home monitoring solution: LG Smart Security combining home monitoring and automation, providing the perfect solution for consumers looking for peace of mind via 24/7 professional monitoring and the convenience of a central hub to control other smart devices. For users looking for augmented security with simple set up and a no-long term contract, LG Smart Security is the first consumer product secured by ADT Canopy - the new Security-as-a-Service offering from leading provider of security and automation solutions ADT - allowing users to add a 24/7 professional security monitoring option. LG Smart Security will be available in the U.S. market in early 2016.

"LG's strength in innovative technology, paired with ADT's leadership in the home security space, now offers consumers a truly unique all-in-one solution," said David VanderWaal, vice president of marketing, LG Electronics USA. "LG Smart Security Secured by ADT Canopy further expands the LG connected home product portfolio and will serve the growing segment of consumers demanding best-in-class professional security monitoring, coupled with a stylish product design and no installation necessary."
The LG Smart Security device incorporates the latest technology to offer best-in-class functionality and protection. Equipped with a 5-megapixel camera that captures 1080p picture and features digital zoom capability, users will see super-sharp, full HD video that comes with zooming capabilities. With an ability to provide a 152 degrees field of view, the lens is one of the widest-view lenses in the home security market that can monitor virtually entire rooms without any warped, fisheye distortion.
LG's compact plug-and-play device offers users the flexibility to add ADT Canopy security monitoring for additional protection and peace of mind knowing there is a response team ready to tack action in the event of an emergency. Customers can subscribe to ADT Canopy for LG Smart Security on a month-to-month basis, with a no-long term contract. ADT Canopy professional security monitoring service starts at $19.99 per month.
"The launch of LG Smart Security is really the result of taking the experience and knowledge of LG as a world-class leader in the consumer electronics space, and pairing that with ADT as the leader in home security and automation, to create a truly unique product," said Naren Gursahaney, CEO of ADT. "LG aligns with our long-term vision as ADT continues to innovate the smart security space and bring professionally monitored security to the IoT category. As the first product supported by ADT Canopy, we believe that LG Smart Security showcases the new category of professional security that we are pioneering."
LG Smart Security weighs less than a pound at just five inches in height. Its stylish shape and sleek black color give the device a premium look and its strong polished-polycarbonate finish withstands scratches. Discreet in design to subtly blend into any room, the LG Smart Security can still make its presence known with a built-in siren that is capable of reaching 100 decibels.
The LG Smart Security incorporates software to match its hardware. It is aware of the natural movements that occur within a home, so it doesn't send unnecessary notifications. When it does detect something out of the ordinary, the device alerts users by notification and email with Smart Detection Alerts.
LG's compact plug-and-play device offers users the flexibility to monitor home conditions remotely with its Home Health Monitoring feature. Users can check on preferred temperature and humidity settings from their phone or tablet with the ADT Canopy mobile app and can have the confidence that LG Smart Security will send a warning text if levels change drastically.
The product is also equipped with home automation hub functionality, meaning that users do not need any additional security devices to help monitor their safety. Building on LG and ADT's advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) space, the device can also serve as a central hub for the Smart Home, enabling users to connect seamlessly to peripheral devices and control them through one centralized mobile app. With just a touch of a button, users can automate a home by connecting all smart devices, such as door sensors, lights, locks and thermostats, on their smartphones.
The advanced software supports many smart home wireless formats including Wi-Fi, BLE, Z-wave and Zigbee. And the mobile app lets users watch secure live streaming video or optional DVR-style video storage, so they can know what's going on at home anytime, anywhere.
LG is the first company to bring two globally recognized brands together to offer security services that protect users like never before. The LG Smart Security product will be introduced in the U.S. market in early 2016, and will be on display in LG's booth (LVCC Central Hall, #8204) at CES 2016 from Jan. 6-9 in Las Vegas.
