Apical and NGCodec Announce H.265/HEVC Encoder with Region Of Interest Optimization via Object Tracking

Combining Apical's Assertive Vision processor and NGCodec's H.265/HEVC Encoder in an integrated circuit enables significant enhancement of video quality and bandwidth efficiency

MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, Barcelona, February 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Apical(TM) and NGCodec(TM) announce new capabilities of the Apical Assertive Vision
Processor and the NGCodec H.265/HEVC encoder that allow the two IP components to be
seamlessly integrated into an SoC or ASIC design. At the Mobile World Congress, Apical and
NGCodec will have a demonstration of this technology, which achieves much higher perceived
video quality combined with a lower bitrate. It achieves this by detecting visually
important regions of a video such as peoples' bodies, using the Apical Assertive Vision
processor, and encoding them with a higher quality relative to the rest of the video using
the Region of Interest capabilities of the NGCodec HEVC encoder.

    It is now possible to link the Apical and NGCodec IP in an integrated circuit with no
extra hardware or any software overhead on the host processor, enabling smartphones to
address the challenges of delivering high-quality 4K UHD video while optimizing storage
and transmission bandwidth demands and at the same time minimizing power and application
processor load.

    Apical's Assertive Vision silicon IP is a radically new detection, classification and
tracking engine capable of accurate analysis of any number of people and other objects in
real time up to 4K at 60 frames per second. It is part of Apical's Assertive technology
family, which is enabling next-generation camera and display features through modelling
the human visual system.

    The NGCodec H.265/HEVC video encoder silicon IP supports 10-bit 4K encoding at 60
frames per second. The design is focused on extremely low power consumption and low
latency for next generation smartphone applications.

    "Consumer expectations for next-generation smartphone video capture make substantial
demands on the camera and the encoder, meaning that both have to get a good deal smarter
than they are today. Combining NGCodec's efficient HEVC encoder and our Assertive Vision
engine enables visually important parts of the scene to be preserved with the highest
quality while at the same time optimizing overall bit rate ", said Michael Tusch, CEO of
Apical.

    "As Smartphones adopt 4K, the need to constrain the file size becomes increasingly
important," said Oliver Gunasekara, CEO, NGCodec. "The ability to detect objects and
intelligently compress video based on understanding what is visually important in each
scene becomes essential."

    "Thanks to innovative products like Apical's Assertive Vision processor, it's becoming
feasible to incorporate sophisticated embedded vision into virtually any type of
electronic system," said Jeff Bier, Founder of the Embedded Vision Alliance. "By
harnessing embedded vision, designers can make their systems more intelligent and
efficient, as illustrated by the combination of Apical's processing engine and NGCodec's
compression engine - which together, use the power of embedded vision to achieve better
video compression."

    An example H.265/HEVC bitstream, which has been compressed by NGCodec Encoder, using
the Regions Of Interest generated by Apical Assertive Vision can be downloaded from
http://www.NGCodec.com/bitstreams

Zensorium Unveils Tinke for Android

- Innovative sensory device for managing personal fitness and wellness is now available for Android smartphones -

SINGAPORE, Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to popular demand, Tinke( http://zensorium.com/tinke ) (pronounced tink), the innovative sensory device for smartphones that helps users manage personal fitness and wellness with the touch of a finger, is now available for use on Android, the world's most widely-used smartphone platform. After successfully launching in 2013 for use with iOS devices, Tinke has seen massive success and consumer demand, with global sales to more than 30 countries.

(Photo: http://photos.prnasia.com/prnh/20140210/8521400667 )

(Logo: http://photos.prnasia.com/prnh/20140210/8521400667LOGO )

"Our goal is simple: to empower individuals to be mindful of fitness and wellness and lead healthier lives," said Juliana Chua, Principal of Zensorium's Business Innovation Group. "We're excited that Tinke can engage with more people now that it's available for use with Android devices."

Tinke uses optical sensing technologies to quantify fitness and relaxation levels for easy understanding and comparison. By placing a fingertip on the sensing platform, Tinke measures and quantifies four key health parameters within seconds: heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen levels and heart rate variability.

The first three parameters, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen level, establish a close relationship for measuring cardio-respiratory fitness. The fourth parameter, heart rate variability, caters to the assessment of an individual's autonomic nervous system, detecting levels of stress for wellness management. Today more than ever, stress is an overlooked aspect of health, but if kept in check, it can reduce the onset of many physical and mental health issues. By understanding the functions of their bodies better, Tinke users can take steps towards improving their fitness and wellness.

The result of over three years of R&D, the simplification and compactness of Tinke's design is made possible by overcoming the challenges of signal processing and architecture design. Tinke for Android connects via Bluetooth and is powered by a Lithium-ion polymer batter that requires charging approximately once per month.

Tinke's social media integration features allow users to easily share measurements and results online across the Tinke network or Facebook. By sharing their data through the Tinke network, users can update friends of their progress and inform healthcare providers of their latest results. With Tinke's global comparisons feature, users can also see where they rank against others in the Tinke network around the world.

Pricing and Availability: Tinke for Android is available in over 30 countries at US$129 in grey and orange.

About Zensorium: Headquartered in Singapore, Zensorium( http://zensorium.com ) is committed to empowering individuals in elevating their quality of life through the use of innovative sensing devices. Their flagship product, Tinke, is an optical sensor that monitors fitness and wellness with the touch of a finger.

In January 2014, at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) Innovations Design and Engineering Awards in Las Vegas (USA), Zensorium was named a finalist in the Mobile Apps Showdown and was an honoree in the Health and Fitness category at the CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards.

Keeping your Bitcoin Wallet in Chameleon encryption device's safety-net

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LucidPort Technology presents the strongest security feature to Bitcoin users. With an increase in popularity and usage of Bitcoin Wallets, Bitcoin private keys can be vulnerable as users often "leave" the Bitcoins in their hard drive without any additional layer of security protection. Using hardware-based encryption (AES-256), Chameleon creates an encrypted drive using the free space on a computer's disk and encrypts your Bitcoin private key. You can also simply encrypt the Bitcoin Private Key file and save it anywhere you desire without risking your Bitcoins. If the computer is stolen or lost, without the presence of the associated Chameleon Key, no encrypted file can be accessed.

After a quick initial setup, plug in the Chameleon USB device to access the encrypted drive, copy files to it, then unplug to secure your data. Chameleon also protects individual files or folders in unencrypted partitions. Individually encrypted files can be stored securely anywhere in your computer or on external storage devices. They can be safely transferred over the internet in email attachments, stored on flash keys and other portable media, or uploaded to cloud storage. They can be decrypted only with the original Chameleon, or an identical Chameleon duplicate.

Chameleon Pro, designed for organizational and corporate markets, adds control over groups of Chameleon devices:
* Master / User device management
* User revocation and data migration
* User policy control

A Master Chameleon device controls a collection of User Chameleon devices. A Master Chameleon can open files encrypted by any of its Users, but the Users cannot open each other's files. Users can be duplicated, recovered, and revoked by the Master.

GearSource Mexico will be based from Showco's Mexico City headquarters and will employ a number of account executives who will work to gather listings and to sell product as well. "Our system was developed over 12 years now, to be not only the best marketplace for professional gear, but as a business that could operate from anywhere, and grow into additional markets within and outside the USA," says Fairbairn.

The goal for GearSource Mexico is to quickly become the market leader in used gear following the company's success in its other core markets. Enrique Lask, Director of Showco says, "We are very excited to consolidate our used equipment market with GearSource, a professional company who brings innovative ideas, cutting edge technology, more than a decade of experience and worldwide access."

Showco was founded in 2004 and is now a leader in the supply of audio, lighting and LED screens in the MI and professional entertainment markets with a network of more than 100 dealers throughout Mexico.

GearSource® was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Marcel Fairbairn and has grown to become the leading marketplace globally for used gear. The company has its headquarters in the USA with offices also in Europe and, now, Mexico.

CoinTerra(TM) Announces the GSX I(TM) PCIe Bitcoin Mining Card

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

CoinTerra( http://cointerra.com ), the market leader in ASIC Bitcoin mining solutions today revealed the GSX I, an affordable PCI Express mining card that sets new standards in both performance and price for enthusiasts, hobbyists and system builders.

Building on the phenomenal success of the TerraMiner(TM), the highest performance Bitcoin miner ever released, CoinTerra has now announced their second product with the introduction of the GSX I PCIe Card Bitcoin miner.

"Having delivered the TerraMiner, the most powerful Bitcoin miner ever released, we decided to turn our attention to designing an affordable solution for the folks who kick-started the mining revolution – enthusiasts and hobbyists looking for an affordable path to ASIC-based Bitcoin mining. At just $1,599 and delivering over 400 gigahash per second, the GSX I combines a low cost of entry with exceptional performance," said Ravi Iyengar, CEO - CoinTerra, Inc.

At the heart of the GSX I is CoinTerra's proven GoldStrike(TM) I ASIC processor mated to CoolIT's DCLC(TM) direct contact liquid cooling unit with a 120mm exhaust fan. The GSX I package is designed to fit a wide assortment of PC mid-tower and full-tower cases, enabling the seamless integration of a dedicated high-performance Bitcoin mining processor into a standard PC form factor.

The GSX I is controlled by the same software as the TerraMiner, running on the host PC and connected via the card's USB ports. This architecture allows for maximum flexibility, including the exciting possibility of building expandable mining solutions with non-PC controllers.

"An additional benefit of this design is that an entirely standalone system comprised of multiple GSX I cards could be driven by an off-the-shelf controller, such as the BeagleBone Black found inside the TerraMiner. We would be thrilled to see the community explore this kind of solution," said Jim O'Connor, VP Engineering – CoinTerra, Inc.

With its high performance, an attractive price of $1,599, and a flexible, expandable design built on tried-and-tested industry leading technology, CoinTerra is once again poised to revolutionize the hardware Bitcoin mining space with the GSX I.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), and Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) today announced TRANSFORMERS(TM): RISE OF THE DARK SPARK(TM), a video game complement to Paramount Pictures' upcoming film, TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION, set to release this June. This third-person action adventure video game goes beyond the movie by uniting the universe of director Michael Bay's TRANSFORMERS movies with the ever-popular Cybertron universe. Players will choose from over 40 playable characters from the two different universes as they battle to secure the Dark Spark. TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE DARK SPARK will be releasing on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, Sony's PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Nintendo's Wii U(TM) system and the Nintendo 3DS(TM) handheld system and Windows PC.

"This year marks 30 incredible years of TRANSFORMERS.  This game tells another chapter in the TRANSFORMERS story that all fans will love."

Serving as a follow-up to both the upcoming TRANSFORMERS live-action film and Activision's TRANSFORMERS: WAR FORCYBERTRON and TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON titles, TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE DARK SPARK jumps worlds and factions as it weaves the tale of the hunt for an ancient relic as powerful as the Matrix of Leadership - the Dark Spark. Players will be able to switch between the heroes of the noble AUTOBOTS and the nefarious DECEPTICONS throughout the single-player campaign. Similar to High Moon Studios' CYBERTRON entries in the highly regarded series, gameplay features nimble, fast-paced running-and-gunning combat paired with traversal and vehicle action across open battlefields for large-scale, dynamic conflicts.

Players will also see the return of the fan-favorite multiplayer mode, Escalation, which delivers wave-based, survival-style gameplay for up to four players online cooperatively. It features new, upgradeable defense systems, recognizable adversaries from the lore, and an expanded roster of playable characters from past and present. Additionally, an exciting new leveling system transforms single-player and multiplayer into one unified, persistent character development path. Experience earned in any part of the game unlocks potent awards and tactical loadout choices - including new characters, stronger weapons, special abilities and consumable bonuses - for use throughout the entire game.

Lighting Technology Meets Beauty With Ledzworld's New AR-111 Ultra Dimmable LED Lamp

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ledzworld, the innovator behind the top brands in commercial LED lighting, announced today it has added a sleek and sophisticated ultra-dimmable AR-111 LED lamp to its product line--the world's first true retrofit sized premium 850 lumen, single light source AR-111 LED lamp. The company's AR-111 Platinum Ultra Dimmable LED lamp offers manufacturers, installers and designers a relentlessly tested, cost-competitive, efficient, and impeccably designed replacement for outdated halogen bulbs.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140217/NY65080)

"A large number of current luminaires on the market with integrated LED light engines look bulky, but Ledzworld's unique AR-111 Platinum Ultra Dimmable LED has the appearance and characteristics of a sophisticated track-luminaire while efficiently delivering 850 lumens," said Jan Kemeling, Founder and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Ledzworld. "The aesthetic appearance makes the lamp ideal for spaces owners aim to impress guests in--hotels, lounges, restaurants, museums, hospitals as well as a variety of other applications."

The 16W AR-111 Platinum Ultra Dimmable LED is a premium single-source LED lamp with a CRI of 80 and is also available with a CRI of >90. The lamp features Ledzworld's unique Chameleon Driver--a technological breakthrough that adjusts itself to make a perfect electrical fit with a wide variety of the possible combinations of commonly used drivers and dimmers. The Chameleon Driver first detects the transformer type, then analyzes its waveform, and finally adjusts itself to create the perfect electrical fit with that particular transformer.

"This innovative Chamelion Driver makes our AR-111 Platinum LED lamp a true 'plug and play' solution that can be trusted with no surprises or disappointments," added Kemeling.

The Chameleon Driver contains the company's innovative cooling technology labeled as Controlled Thermo Regulation (CTR). The CTR provides an intelligent temperature-control monitoring system and acts as a watchdog--continuously measuring the ambient temperature inside the driver compartment using a built-in thermal sensor embedded into the Chameleon Driver chipset. When the lamps are overheating due to usage inside fixtures without sufficient airflow, the driver regulates the temperature by slightly dimming the lamps to guarantee that they will always operate reliably in a large variety of fixture designs.

The diamond-cut optics of Ledzworld's AR-111 Platinum Ultra Dimmable LED lamps are designed with the company's Reduced Glare Optical Technology (RGOT). Utilizing RGOT, the AR-111 Platinum Ultra Dimmable LED delivers a 25 degree or optional 40 degree beam angle.

Available in three color temperatures (2700K, 3000K, 4000K), the AR-111 Platinum LED has a patented removable outer ring that allows for flexibility in matching the lamp with the application or fixture color. The lamp comes with the company's three year, continuous usage warranty.

Designers Fyodor Golan Combine Nokia Smartphones to Make a Super Smart Skirt That Changes Around You

LONDON, February 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Nokia has partnered with exciting design duo, Fyodor Golan, for London Fashion Week,
to create the world's first interactive skirt made up of Nokia Lumia 1520 smartphones.

    (Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140214/670895 )

    (Photo:

    (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140214/670895-c )

    The innovative skirt was designed by the Fashion Fringe winners and created by Kin and
uses static pictures captured by the phone, or live feeds on the 80 screens that adorn it
- allowing it to change around the wearer and their day.

    Images on the screens change colour as the skirt moves, creating a shimmer effect
simulating the realistic tactile character of actual fabric. This is achieved through a
purpose built app that utilises global positioning, to ensure the shimmer happens in line
with the models movement. It is believed that this is the first time a skirt of this kind
has been created.

    Annie Kearney, Nokia Brand Lab, said: "This unique project is about exploring the
possibilities of smart technology and fashion coming together, as well as supporting new
talent to create something special using the beautifully designed Nokia Lumia 1520."

    To build the skirt, Kin worked interactively with a combination of software such as
Python and C#. Initial drawings were sketched along side Fyodor Golan. The sketches were
then developed using engineering tools and rapid prototyping tools such as 3D printing and
laser cutting to evolve the initial design.

    Of their new collection and working with Nokia, Fyodor said: "This A/W 14 season we
toyed with tradition against technology. We believe that you can create almost anything
that isn't influenced by gravity. The colour changes as the skirt moves and the idea of
making the screens react to the word around it via photographs and video is something that
we do not think has been done before."

    Speaking of their experience creating this skirt, Matt Wade from Kin said: "This is
exciting new territory that pushes the boundaries of what is possible in fashion,
designing and programming."

    Nokia have a long history of working within fashion, bringing David Bailey and Bruce
Weber together to shoot together for the first time in history using the 41 megapixel
Nokia Lumia 1020. Smartphones play an increasingly integral role within fashion, and more
specifically on the font row of global fashion week shows, with designs online before they
hit the end of the runway. The leading functionality, design and imaging capabilities of
the Nokia Lumia 1020 and Lumia 1520 make them the perfect tool for the fashion world.

Anite launches enhanced emulation capacity for LTE-A testing

FLEET, England, February 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Unrivalled multi-link emulation capacity in a single Propsim F32 box enables up to
150% CAPEX saving

    Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology, today launched a
major multi-link emulation enhancement to its Propsim channel emulator platform,
significantly increasing the performance testing capacity of LTE-Advanced multi-mode
chipsets, devices and base stations and enabling users to save up to 150% in test tools
CAPEX compared to investing in multi-box solutions.

    The enhanced multi-link emulation capacity in a single Propsim F32 box eliminates the
need to synchronise several emulator boxes - this speeds up the development and
verification of new devices and base stations. With this new platform release, users are
able to create larger test scenarios in a lab environment, with twice as many devices and
base stations as any other solution available on the market. LTE-A device testing with
large lab setups enable users to conduct more realistic performance testing, accurately
testing the end user experience in the live network.

    Propsim F32 enables comprehensive testing of new LTE-Advanced features such as Carrier
Aggregation, ICIC and eICIC (enhanced Inter Cell Interference Coordination) using
real-world like scenarios for each user independently. With enhanced emulation capacity,
Propsim F32 now supports performance testing of four LTE devices and four LTE base station
cells, or up to ten LTE devices connected to two base stations when conducting Carrier
Aggregation or handover testing.

    'Users benefit from huge productivity gains thanks to our latest Propsim innovation,
which offers twice the testing capacity of any other available solution', says Paul
Beaver, Products Director at Anite. He continues: 'The unique multi-link emulation
capacity coupled with leading LTE test scenario creation tools makes Propsim an unrivalled
testing solution for LTE-A Carrier Aggregation and HetNet performance testing.'

    The multi-link emulation capacity enhancement is available as a simple software
upgrade for customers with an Anite maintenance contract. The platform enhancement
increases the emulation capacity of Virtual Drive Testing

ROHM Semiconductor's Operational Amplifiers for Sensor Signal Amplification

Enables improved signal processing accuracy at lower supply voltages

KYOTO, Japan and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ROHM Semiconductor (TSE : 6963) today introduced the development of the BD5291G and the BD5291FVE low voltage, low offset operational amplifiers (opamp) designed to amplify signals from motion sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140213/LA64663-INFO)

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121018/LA95513LOGO)

Recent years have seen a growing number of devices, such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and portable gaming systems, that incorporate sensors to detect acceleration, angular velocity, and other parameters. Sensors are often embedded in applications that convert physical changes to small electrical signals. To make use of these small signals, however, they must be amplified using sensor signal amplifiers, which are positioned downstream of the sensor and require sensitive analog technology to ensure high-accuracy amplification.

Both the BD5291G and BD5291FVE utilize ROHM's industry-leading analog technology, enabling input/output full-swing operation at only 1.7V (vs. 1.8V with comparable devices). In addition, high common-mode rejection ratio results in a small-signal processing accuracy 18 times better than what can be achieved with ordinary low voltage operational amplifiers, making them ideal for sensor signal amplification.

Key Features

1. Low voltage input/output full-swing operation
Low-voltage (1.7V) input / output full-swing operation provides sufficient margin against supply voltage fluctuations. This makes them well-suited for applications with low supply-voltage requirements.

2?High accuracy signal amplification
Low input offset voltage combined with high common-mode rejection ratio (70dB min vs. 45dB min with conventional products) makes it possible to amplify small signals (i.e. from sensors) with greater accuracy.

    Pricing:                                    US$0.16 (BD5291FVE-GTR)

    (3000pcs)                                   US$0.27 (BD5291G-GTL)

    Availability:                               Samples Now

    Delivery:                                   14 weeks ARO
Applications

    --  Smartphones
    --  Tablet PCs
    --  Portable CD/DVD players
    --  Handheld gaming equipment and other devices utilizing motion sensors
    --  Microphone amps
    --  Active filters
    --  Buffer amps

Credence ID Launches Innovative Tri-Biometric Mobile Enrollment and Verification Device

Trident's Android(TM)-based fully integrated design provides Fast Biometric Captures in any Lighting Condition.

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Credence ID, LLC., a San Francisco Bay Area company, today announced the production availability of the Trident(®), the new handheld tri-biometric device which integrates simultaneous dual iris capture, a PIV-certified FAP 45 fingerprint sensor and a face camera, all fully integrated and running on a quad-core Android(TM) host.  The product is designed to meet the needs of large biometric enabled civil, military and law enforcement programs that demand mobility and reliable capture in all possible lighting conditions along with the openness of Android which allows fast and easy application development.   At less than 3 pounds (1360 grams), Trident can provide operators with the ability execute matches both onboard the device or over multiple communications networks including cellular or WIFI.  GPS for automatic geo-location and Bluetooth for connecting peripherals are also standard features of Trident.

Integrators and solution providers can now expedite biometric application development for their customers using the Android OS and Credence SDK, giving them much faster development cycles and GUIs with the look and feel smart-device users have come to expect from their handheld devices.   The SDK also includes source code to many common functions allowing partners to quickly get applications up and running for their customers.

"The biometrics market has been waiting for a device like Trident.  Until now, iris and fingerprint capture in an integrated device was difficult in bright sunlight conditions.  Windows-based devices originally developed for the military are comparatively difficult to use in outdoor conditions and application development for our customers was cumbersome and expensive.   Today's users expect a handheld device to be as easy to use and approachable as their smart phone.  It's fantastic to have all this in an open source device that costs about one-third of other equipment currently on the market," says Ken Nosker, CEO of Fulcrum Biometrics, an authorized distributor and partner of Credence ID.

"While Credence is a relatively new company, the executive and engineering teams within the organization have been in the biometrics industry for many years.  Trident represents the summation of all the lessons we've learned in the areas of mobility and biometric technologies.  It is the ultimate combination of face, finger and iris biometrics on a state of the art mobile platform. Programs such as voter ID, benefits distribution, border crossing, mobile banking and refugee management are just a few of the areas that will benefit from having an inexpensive, mobile and easy to use device, "said Bruce Hanson, President and CEO of Credence ID.

New AT&T Store In Addison Features An Innovative Design That Mirrors Customers' Mobile Lifestyle

New store design focuses on customer experience

ADDISON, Texas, Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T's new store design focused on the customer's mobile lifestyle is now a reality in North Texas. The new store at 5100 Belt Line Road in Addison transforms the entire shopping experience.   The new store concept is the result of more than two years of exploration and research all centered on one design goal - to create a more interactive and inviting store environment.

Customers in Addison and the Dallas-Fort Worth area will be among the first to experience the new store concept that is reinventing the retail business. This store is the latest example of the investment already made in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. AT&T invested nearly $3 billion in its Dallas-Fort Worth area wireless and wireline networks from 2010 to 2012 and more than $7 billion in Texas wireless and wireline networks during the same time. This new location will serve the growing number of consumers relying on their wireless devices to manage their busy lives.

"We are committed to bringing job opportunities and new goods and services to Addison consumers and this is the kind of investment that we want to celebrate as we continue to grow our local economy," said Todd Meier, mayor of Addison. "Any time we can celebrate the opening of a new store, especially one with a cutting-edge new retail concept in Addison, it's a great day."

Many of the new store design and merchandising elements were first seen in AT&T's award-winning flagship brand store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and are now coming to other company-owned retail stores.

"As Addison businesses and consumers rely more and more on mobile technology to stay in touch, announcements like this become even more important to our economic growth. We will continue to support policies that attract this sort of investment and advancement," said Lisa Hermes, CEO & president, Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce. "We've worked hard to build a business climate in Addison that works for businesses and creates job opportunities."

"Customers visiting our Addison store will discover an interactive shopping experience built around their mobile lifestyle," said Hardmon Williams, Vice-President/General Manager, AT&T-North Texas.  "Our goal is to be America's premier retailer by providing an exceptional experience in every interaction, and we've been working hard to exceed customer expectations by taking our stores and network to a new level here in North Texas."

Flexible Design
Everything about the store is designed for ultimate flexibility.  It brings to life AT&T's mission, brand vision, and personality while encouraging self-discovery and satisfying curiosity.

The store layout will highlight AT&T's products and services, devices and accessories across three unique "zones" - the Connected Experience Zone, the Community Zone, and the Explore Zone.

The new Connected Experience Zone features "lifestyle vignettes" that offer customers a glimpse of how products can be used in customers' everyday lives. These lifestyle pavilions will highlight categories such as music, home security, entertainment and more.

Next is the Community Zone, featuring "community tables" that let customers shop and play in an open and interactive space.  This space has apps, accessories and devices on display to show customers how they can work together.

Finally, customers can check out the Explore Zone with "explore walls" that showcase AT&T's diverse device line-up and accessories complemented by digital monitors with product information.

Enhanced service experience
What you won't see in these new stores is almost as important as what you will see. Customers will no longer see the traditional retail "cash-register" counters. Instead, they'll find round cafe-style "learning tables" that allow for side-by-side interactions with the AT&T retail consultant to ask questions or learn about a product or service. All retail consultants carry a tablet supported by a new mobile point-of-sale system that allows them to help customers anywhere in the store.

Customers also won't see the printed product brochures common in many stores. With digital signage, e-brochures and interactive video monitors, they can have the information literally at their finger tips while giving AT&T the flexibility of updating messaging faster and more efficiently.

Store information
Hours for the new Addison store are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 6 p.m. AT&T has more than 200 retail locations in Texas.
