InTechnology Wins Irwin Mitchell's Telephony Contract

HARROGATE, England, March 20, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Law firm reduces telecoms spend moving from ISDN to SIP Trunks with trusted Cloud
provider

    National law firm, Irwin Mitchell, has turned to InTechnology to help bring
significant savings to its telephone calls and lines expenditure and strengthen its
network resilience.

    With a workforce of over 2,000 people, the scale of Irwin Mitchell's operations meant
that its telephony costs were a significant overhead. InTechnology identified that the
firm could make considerable savings by migrating its calls and lines over to them and
switching from ISDN to SIP trunks.

    Jerry Fisher, senior network specialist at Irwin Mitchell, said: "We were keen to find
a company that, in addition to cost savings, could provide us with the extra resilience
and backup we needed to ensure the smooth running of day-to-day operations within a
leading national law firm.

    "To complement our existing network, InTechnology provided us with additional WAN
services designed to increase network stability and resilience across the organisation.
This brings excellent peace of mind when you're maintaining IT and telecommunications
services for over 2,000 people across the business.

    "InTechnology provided us with advanced telephony solutions at an excellent price that
no other providers were able to match. These solutions, combined with the introduction of
SIP trunks, resulted in some excellent savings, allowing us to drive down costs within the
firm and moves us a step closer to delivering VoIP across the business."

    The law firm has nine offices across the country so InTechnology designed a phased
roll-out in order to minimise disruption. The first phase saw the implementation of a
backup WAN to support and strengthen Irwin Mitchell's existing infrastructure through 8 x
100mps MPLS fibre circuits. The second and third phases of the programme saw the
full-scale migration of the firm's Wholesale Line Rental (WLR) and Carrier Preselect (CPS)
over to InTechnology which has significantly reduced its telephony expenditure.

    Using the network connections implemented in the first phase of the programme,
InTechnology offered 1,000 SIP channels to replace the existing ISDN channels.

    Roy Farrow, divisional product director at InTechnology, said: "As a trusted partner,
InTechnology always works closely with its customers to ensure they get a solution
tailored to their needs which results in them being able to get the most out of their
technology systems. <SIP Trunking [http://www.intechnology.co.uk/MainPage.aspx?IDB ]>
offers a host of capabilities above and beyond ISDN30, and as demonstrated with Irwin
Mitchell, there are considerable cost savings to be had. We are delighted to have provided
a solution that has delivered a host of benefits above and beyond their original
expectations."

    About InTechnology:

    InTechnology (http://www.intechnology.co.uk) is one of the UK's leading service

Reality Mobile® Unveils RealityVision® 3.2

New Release Enables Real-Time Peer-To-Peer Video Sharing for Android and Apple iOS Users

RealityVision 3.2 delivers an enhanced operating platform for mobile device users, thanks to patented processes and advanced peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. With this groundbreaking product, a mobile user can proactively share video in real-time with other authorized mobile users, without any action required on the remote user's part.

HERNDON, Va., March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reality Mobile®, a Virginia-based technology company delivering enterprise-class real-time mobile video collaboration solutions, today announced the availability of RealityVision® 3.2.

The product delivers game-changing capabilities to Android and iOS users, by allowing them to share video feeds they are watching or transmitting with other authorized users, along with associated mapping information and other contextual data. "As more users migrate to mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, iPads and iPhones," notes David Kramer, President and CEO of Reality Mobile, "our patented technologies extend their ability to share rich media and other information in real-time."

With the new release, a RealityVision user viewing a video stream (including RealityVision screencasts) can cause it to be shared with other mobile users and viewed in real-time. The user sharing the feed can designate the starting point for any shared video and, if the stream contains location information or text tags, the recipients will be able to view that information as well. The technology also allows the user to view a live stream from a remote source without the remote user needing to take any action.

Users of supported Android smartphones and tablets and iPhones will be able to utilize a new "Share" function within the application to directly "Send Video" while transmitting or watching a single video feed. The user will be able to select other authorized users and send notifications regarding the shared video, add context to the shared feed and then immediately share. Leveraging the RealityVision Automation Gateway, the sharing function can be initiated through pre-defined business rules.

iPad users will have similar capabilities, and will be able to simultaneously visualize multiple video sources and share directly from that view. They will also have an enhanced user experience as the first features of a "light" version of the RealityVision management console are migrated to a tablet. All live RealityVision user locations and activities will now be viewable from the main and side maps of the iPad.

For more on RealityVision's expanded P2P capabilities, including an enhanced Command History interface, please visit http://www.realitymobile.com/product/what's-new-realityvision.

"We designed and built the RealityVision platform to optimize mobile video collaboration by incorporating many different visual sources," explains Brian Geoghegan, Executive Vice President & Chief Product Officer of Reality Mobile. "At the same time, the product allows each enterprise to easily tailor the sources it wants to share with authorized users." All sharing occurs securely within the RealityVision network and not via SMS, email or social networks.

RealityVision 3.2 is available immediately to all customers with active Annual Maintenance and Support contracts. Potential users are also invited to visit the Reality Mobile web site to learn more about RealityVision, schedule a webinar and see first-hand a demonstration of RealityVision's features, benefits and patented technology.

Setting New Standards... With the All New FFT Secure Point(TM)

MELBOURNE, March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Future Fibre Technologies will launch its new 2 zone fiber optic perimeter intrusion detection system at the ISC West show in Las Vegas next week. It is easy to install and delivers a cost-effective yet flexible solution for smaller sites without compromising on performance.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120320/HK73108 )

In response to the needs of the short perimeter market, the performance features of FFT Secure Point(TM) set new standards, taking zoned fiber optic perimeter detection technology ahead of conventional 2 channel PIDS systems of the past. 

FFT Secure Point(TM)  is ideal for the perimeter protection of utility substations, solar farms, storage yards, pumping stations and block valve sites to name a few.

Developed to exceed the performance of traditional 2 channel fiber optic zoned PIDS systems, the key features of FFT Secure Point(TM) include:

    --  Improved sensitivity - achieved by using interferometric detection
        techniques rather than less sensitive 'speckle pattern' detection
        technology.  This enables FFT Secure Point(TM) to be used on almost all
        fence types and styles including chain link, welded mesh and palisade
        with the same high levels of detection and effectiveness
    --  Low cost, low power, and a small form factor, with 2 independent zones
        per controller.  Each zone can be up to 500 meters or 1,600 feet long
    --  Employs FFT's advanced signal processing and intelligent algorithms to
        minimize environmental nuisance alarms
    --  Designed for easy out-of-the box installation and setup by laptop with
        the free wizard configuration software
    --  Powerful interfacing options - TCP/IP, USB, as well as traditional Form
        C contacts
    --  Optional splice free installation of fiber optic cables
    --  Simple replacement for existing fiber optic intrusion detection systems
    --  Peace of mind with FFT's global 24 month Manufacturer's Warranty
    --  Flexible installation options - can be configured with individual
        controllers housed in NEMA 4 enclosures in the field, or rack-mounted in
        a secure control room up to 10km (6 miles) from the perimeter, linked by
        an insensitive fiber optic lead-in cable
FFT Secure Point(TM) is the latest product to be added to the FFT family of fiber optics, delivering end-to-end PIDS solutions from the smallest to the largest sites across the world.

As is standard for all FFT products, FFT Secure Point(TM) incorporates advanced signal processing to control nuisance alarms; an optional FFT CAMS(TM) graphical user interface including intuitive multilingual screens with true client/server configuration and powerful interfacing to security management systems; plus FFT's global network of offices to provide outstanding levels of after sales support to installations in more than 50 countries.

To see FFT Secure Point(TM) in action, discuss your specific needs or learn how Secure Point can solve your perimeter security problems, please visit the friendly FFT team at ISC West, Booth 15119, or contact your nearest FFT office.  http://www.fftsecurity.com

Odyssey Debuts New Metal-X Putters

Putter Line Features Newest Insert Technology With Dual-layered, Textured Insert

CARLSBAD, Calif., March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced the April 13 retail availability of the new Odyssey® Metal-X(TM) line of insert putters, representing the latest in the brand's storied history of game-changing innovations surrounding the most important club in the bag. With a lightweight aluminum face in front of a urethane backer layer, Metal-X putters provide golfers the crisp feedback of a metal striking surface with the benefits of a softer feel for optimal touch. Aesthetically pleasing with a sleek midnight black finish, the putters also offer a textured face that delivers a truer, more consistent roll.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/callawaygolf/46344/

"The idea for the new Metal-X putters came from working with several Tour players who liked the look and performance of our putters, but wanted the feel of a more metallic face," said Austie Rollinson, Principal Designer for Odyssey Putters. "We took their feedback and decided to create an aluminum face with a urethane backing layer in order to maintain a lightweight face that helps us optimize the weight distribution in our designs."

However, in an effort to improve feel and performance, Rollinson added another key feature. The lightweight aluminum outer layer on the Metal-X putters has a face pattern unlike any other putter in golf, with oval depressions that create a mechanical lock with the ball's dimples at impact. This mechanical lock creates more friction, which delivers a lower launch with optimized topspin for reduced skidding and the truest roll in the game through steady ball deceleration. The urethane inner layer provides soft touch and saves weight to optimize performance. Together, the two layers combine for crisp responsiveness and sound.

"The texture on the face does two things -- it reduces surface contact and increases edge contact between the face and the ball. Reducing the surface contact during impact helps us create a solid, yet soft, sound at impact. That sound equates to feel, so it's a great feeling insert," Rollinson explained. "I came up with the oval design on the aluminum insert to also create a lot of edges, which increases the friction between the face and the ball and helps create a very smooth and consistent roll."

Taking specific feedback from Tour players, Rollinson incorporated a midnight black finish to increase durability and reduce glare on sunny days. First introduced on professional tours in early February, Metal-X putters have already been put in play by numerous players, including PGA Tour pros J.B. Holmes and Danny Lee. In fact, in the very first week of its availability on the European Tour, 13 players put various Metal-X models in play.

"Feedback from Metal-X's first few weeks on the world's tours has been phenomenal," said Chris Koske, Global Director of the Odyssey Business. "Every tour professional we have spoken to has told us not only how good the insert feels, but also about how the ball seems to hug the green."

Each Metal-X putter comes standard with a Lamkin® 3GEN® Pistol Grip, made of Lamkin's proprietary 3GEN material, which is their softest synthetic rubber compound and reduces vibration without dulling the feel of the putt. The material allows golfers to keep their forearms relaxed, apply very light grip pressure, and minimize hand tension for smooth, consistent strokes.

The Metal-X putters will be available on April 13 in a wide variety of models. Core models (#1, #6, #7, #8, #9, and Rossie) will be available for a new product introduction retail price of $149; 2-Ball and D.A.R.T. models will be available for a new product introduction retail price of $179; and Belly and Long Metal-X putters will be available for a new product retail price of $189. (The D.A.R.T. and #7 Metal-X models will be available in both Belly and Long putters, while the #1 will be available in a Belly model.)

KineticD Rolls Out Free Data Seeding for Easy Deployment of KineticCloud Backup

Providing SMBs with the Tools for Fast, Easy Initial Backup with KineticSeed

TORONTO, March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- KineticD(TM), known for its cloud backup and data recovery services for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), today announced KineticSeed, providing SMBs with the ability to backup large amounts of data from a USB or external drive and send it securely to KineticD's SSAE 16 certified datacenter for instant protection.

Initially backing up hundreds of gigabytes of data to the Cloud can take hours or even days, a daunting prospect for companies contemplating a move to online backup. KineticD is offering a solution with KineticSeed, a new service for KineticCloud(TM) Backup customers.

With KineticSeed customers are now able to remotely backup an unlimited number of servers agentlessly via the network to a USB or external drive. Additionally, KineticSeed is encrypted with Blowfish 448 bank-grade encryption, eliminating the risk of data being compromised during shipping. After KineticD receives and uploads the data, only incremental backup blocks will be sent over the Internet, providing customers with clean, fast and easy ongoing backups to the Cloud. The same technology can also be used for data recovery in the event of an emergency or disaster.

Foresight Computers & Networking, Inc., a provider of network, server support and integration services, recently completed an initial install for one of its clients. The install required several hundred gigabytes of data from various sources be backed up to the cloud, including a Windows fileserver, Linux based Samba server and an MS SQL server. Using KineticSeed, Foresight was able to create a seed data set over just a few days. The initial data set was over 600GB, however, after applying the de-duplication and compression features of KineticCloud Backup, the final seed consumed only 220GB on disk. To transfer this data via the Internet would have taken several weeks, crippling the business by causing congestion on the live Internet connection.

For a limited time, KineticD is offering this service with no minimum data commitment or data limit and free of charge to its KineticCloud for Server customers and partners.

Tim Beyea - President, Foresight Computers & Networking, Inc.:

"We are excited to partner with KineticD for our cloud-based backup services. As a provider of services to various government and private entities across the Deep South, it is imperative that our clients be prepared for anything. This offering gives us the perfect product for our clients who need to know that their data is safe, secure and accessible from anywhere should the need arise. Due to the architecture of KineticSeed, it is suitable for backups of all sizes and can dovetail into most environments seamlessly."

Jamie Brenzel - CEO, KineticD:

"We are excited to empower our customers and channel partners with the ability to backup their servers in an efficient, safe and timely manner. When our customers told us they wanted an alternative to ease the pain of the initial backup process, we listened. This new component of KineticCloud Backup for Servers is another example of how we strive to provide our customers with the best cloud backup and recovery experience possible."

NICE Integrates Interaction Management and Fizzback Solutions to Enhance Customer Experience

The combined direct and indirect Voice of the Customer solution enables companies to gain insight into the root cause of specific customer feedback by correlating voice interactions with real-time feedback survey results

RA'ANANA, Israel, March 20, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    NICE (NASDAQ: NICE), announced today that it has integrated its NICE Interaction
Management platform with its NICE Fizzback real-time customer feedback
[http://www.nice.com/smartcenter-suite/real-time-customer-feedback ] solution. The combined
offering automatically generates requests for customer feedback at the end of an
interaction and correlates individual customer feedback results with related interaction
data. By consolidating this information into a single view, enterprises can gain deep and
valuable insight into the root cause of specific customer dissatisfaction as well as the
different aspects of the customer experience [http://www.nice.com/customer-experience ].

    NICE Interaction Management customers can now automatically trigger post-call surveys,
without the need for integration to their Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.
In addition, when a customer responds to the post-call NICE Fizzback survey, call center
managers will be able to simply click and access the actual voice interaction from NICE
Interaction Management. By gaining a more holistic picture of the interaction,
organizations can quickly respond to individual customer needs as well as discover new
best practices, improve operational processes and proactively reduce churn.

    More than 150 million interaction-related customer feedbacks have been collected with
NICE Fizzback. Its unique approach generates game-changing response rates of up to 50%,
which is significantly higher than industry norms at under 10%, as it motivates consumers
to provide relevant feedback at the moment of interaction. Additionally, consumers provide
feedback about their experience rather than only about what was asked in a survey. NICE
Fizzback, integrated with NICE Interaction Management will enable organizations to better
understand their customers' perceptions, while improving customer experience at the
various enterprise touch points.

    "Integrating NICE Interaction Management with NICE Fizzback demonstrates our
commitment to providing our customers with one cohesive, powerful solution. Existing NICE
Interaction Management customers will immediately realize a greater combined value when
selecting NICE Fizzback as their real-time direct feedback solution," said Udi Ziv,
President of the NICE Enterprise Group. "The ability to easily correlate customer feedback
with the interaction is an important step for organizations that want to drive their
business by Voice of the Customer [http://www.nice.com/voice-of-the-customer-solutions ]."

    NICE's Enterprise Offering enables organizations to impact every customer interaction
with targeted solutions for enhancing the customer experience, increasing service-to-sales
revenue, streamlining operational efficiency, and complying to policies and regulations.
Driven by real-time, cross-channel analytics [http://www.nice.com/cross-channel-analytics
] - including speech analytics [http://www.nice.com/speech-analytics ], text analytics,
feedback analytics, web, and social media analytics - and coupled with real-time
decisioning and guidance, NICE Enterprise solutions are implemented by contact centers of
all sizes, branch networks, retail stores, trading floors, and back office operations.

    About NICE

    NICE (NASDAQ: NICE) is the worldwide leader of intent-based solutions that capture and
analyze interactions and transactions, realize intent, and extract and leverage insights
to deliver impact in real time. Driven by cross-channel and multi-sensor analytics, NICE

Akamai Introduces Open Source Mobile Test Agent

Mobitest Intended to Improve Awareness and Availability of Mobile Performance Benchmarking

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai® Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the leading cloud platform for delivering secure, high-performing user experiences to any device, anywhere, today announced availability of Mobitest as an open source end-user testing agent designed to benchmark performance of mobile web sites.  The Mobitest tool was developed by Blaze Software Inc., a provider of front-end optimization (FEO) technology that was acquired by Akamai in February 2012.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100225/AKAMAILOGO )

Mobitest is a unique technology able to measure page load times on many of today's most popular mobile devices.  It offers detailed performance information, ranging from total page load times to individual request headers and timings.  It is also designed to capture screenshots during page load, and show a video visualizing the page load as it happened.

"The mobile web is growing quickly, and with it the importance of mobile web performance," said Guy Podjarny, chief product architect, Akamai. "Challenges such as underpowered devices and high latency networks are further multiplied by a highly fragmented mobile landscape which changes at an incredible pace. To make the mobile web fast, we, as a web performance community, need to work together to provide online business owners with the right knowledge and tools they need and provide a quality experience on any device, anywhere."

The availability of Mobitest as both a free hosted service at http://www.akamai.com/mobitest, and as an open source test client provides the means to evaluate and deliver improved performance to a wide variety of mobile audiences.  It allows organizations to better understand how long it takes to load their mobile web page on a real device over a real mobile network.  Akamai has made the source code available through an open source license to run testing agents on iOS, Android and Blackberry devices, enabling users to measure on their own devices and within their internal networks, in addition to the free community service.     

"Measuring mobile web performance on real devices gives the most accurate results, but it's a challenge to have multiple devices and to maintain consistent test conditions.  Mobitest solves these challenges.  It provides visibility into mobile performance in an easy-to-use tool," offered Steve Souders, author of High Performance Web Sites and web performance expert.  "It's great to see Akamai open source the Mobitest code so that everyone can benefit from what's been built and help take Mobitest to the next level."

Over 365,000 Historic Books Made Available Online With Autonomy

Revolutionary Online Research Platform Goes Live

CAMBRIDGE, England, March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Autonomy, an HP Company, today announced that Mimas, a world-class academic data centre based at the University of Manchester which provides researchers in the UK with key information assets, has launched a new pioneering search and discovery platform on behalf of JISC Collections - JISC Historic Books, powered by Autonomy IDOL (Intelligent Data Operating Layer).

Part of the JISC eCollections service, this new platform gives the UK academic community access to vast amounts of digitized content across a wide range of disciplines. This revolutionizes research in the UK by suggesting relevant content automatically and in real time, and opens up a world of resources to students and researchers.

"Autonomy's ability to infinitely scale is absolutely central to the project," said Vic Lyte, Head of Technology Services at Mimas. "It is easy for us to add new content as and when needed, and IDOL automatically works its magic by understanding concepts within the data and serving it up to the appropriate users according to what they are looking for. This represents a massive advance for the research community, showing, for the first time in this sector, how meaning based technology can be used to unlock some of our country's most valuable assets - its literature."

JISC Historic Books contains the full text or page images of over 300,000 books published in Britain before 1800. The service, developed for JISC Collections and the British Library, draws content from two of the best-known and longest-established early book collections, Early English Books Online (EEBO) and Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO). This is combined with the British Library Nineteenth Century Collection, offering digitized versions of more than 65,000 original editions from the nineteenth century, covering philosophy, history, poetry and literature. The collection extends to over 25 million pages of rare and previously inaccessible content.

"The new platform brings together digitized collections of historic books which are otherwise distributed on different publisher platforms or not otherwise available," explained Lorraine Estelle, CEO of JISC Collections. "It provides UK academic researchers and students with a single sign-on and interface to a vast corpus of primary source material."

"We're delighted that JISC Historic Books, and our partnership with JISC, JISC Collections and Mimas, enable Higher Education users to explore and research many thousands of texts - whether they're classics or the hitherto more obscure end of the spectrum," says Caroline Brazier, the British Library's Director of Scholarship and Collections. "Shelves and shelves of books, that could previously only be read in our St Pancras Reading Rooms, by one reader at a time, are now simultaneously and instantly available to thousands of JISC eCollections members' users."

"Autonomy is delighted to be part of this innovative project, helping to ensure that 25 Terabytes of invaluable digital libraries are now made available to the academic community in a truly meaningful way," said Nigel Hutchinson, VP Autonomy Power Solutions, EMEA. "Autonomy's unique ability to understand meaning in information is transforming the way researchers and users access and interact with content, opening the possibility to solve some of the great academic questions."

JISC Journal Archives, also part of the JISC eCollections service, uses IDOL to provide meaning based discovery across more than 3.75 million articles from the archives of over 600 journals of major publishers and societies, such as Taylor & Francis, Royal Society of Chemistry, Oxford University Press, ProQuest, Institute of Physics, Institution of Civil Engineers, Brill, and Cambridge University Press.

Researchers are now able to benefit from cross-search and access to a range of national repositories, search results that are clustered according to conceptual themes, and guided navigation of search results. IDOL also offers the possibility to develop capabilities for customized recommendations based on users' search histories, and at-a-glance overviews of topics relevant to fellow researchers.

Initiative Will Enable Automatic Authentication of Mobile Devices on Wi-Fi Networks

LONDON, March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TheGSMA and the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) today announced they are working together to simplify connectivity to Wi-Fi hotspots from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. The joint initiative is developing technical and commercial frameworks for Wi-Fi roaming, which will bring together the benefits of mobile technology and Wi-Fi networks for the first time, creating a far simpler consumer experience.

"The proliferation of smartphones and tablets around the world, as well as consumers' huge appetite for data means innovative solutions need to be explored to make using the Internet as convenient and as accessible as possible," said Dan Warren, Senior Director of Technology at the GSMA. "Through combining the proven capabilities of Mobile Broadband and Wi-Fi technologies, users will have the freedom to move between networks with ease."

Wi-Fi is increasingly emerging as a feature on smartphones and tablets, but today there is no consistency in the way these devices attach to Wi-Fi networks. This process includes device configuration, the use of access keys and the various mechanisms for acquiring and paying for connectivity. Wi-Fi roaming will allow mobile devices to seamlessly connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot using the SIM card for authentication, as well as enable mobile operators to uniquely and securely identify users whether they are on a mobile or Wi-Fi network.

Wi-Fi roaming will be based on the WBA's 'Next Generation Hotspot' programme and the Wi-Fi Alliance's 'Passpoint certification' technology. It will also build on the GSMA's successful roaming principles that have propelled the mobile industry to more than six billion mobile connections worldwide, a number that is expected to more than double within the next ten years.

"The combination of Wi-Fi and mobile technologies extends the power of broadband for consumers," said Shrikant Shenwai, CEO, WBA. "The work by the WBA and the GSMA will expedite the availability of a new generation of Internet access for the benefit of consumers everywhere. Key to this is Wi-Fi being able to replicate the success of mobile technology and allow users to roam seamlessly between different networks."

To date, the Wi-Fi roaming initiative has identified and agreed to the basis for a common approach to authenticating mobile devices on Wi-Fi hotspots, automatically and securely. It will now work towards aligning guidelines on security, billing, data offload, device implementation and network selection to create a consistent solution for GSMA and WBA members. This work will build on the GSMA's GPRS Roaming Exchange (GRX) and the WBA's Wireless Roaming Intermediary Exchange (WRIX) roaming models, which combined, will enable billions of consumers around the world to enjoy straightforward Internet connectivity.

Spread Bet on the Go With the iPhone Trading App from City Index

LONDON, March 20, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    City Index spread betting account [http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting ] holders
can benefit from their award-winning City Trading(TM) iPhone(TM) app, which provides them
with the opportunity to trade wherever they are, whenever they want.

    The City Trading app from City Index is available to spread betting and CFD trading
account holders across iPhone, Android and Blackberry devices.

    Mobile Trading

    In February 2011, it was reported that approximately 15 per cent of trades being
placed through City Index were done through the mobile trading platform
[http://www.cityindex.co.uk/trading-platform ].

    Joshua Raymond, Chief Market Strategist at City Index, commented that mobile trading
is 'undoubtedly the future of spread betting'; a view which is reinforced by their
clients' heightened trading activity via their mobile devices.

    Traders using the mobile trading platform can access the full range of spread bet
markets [http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting/spread-bet-markets.aspx ] and order
types available through its online trading platform.

    Whilst the attraction of trading through a mobile platform focuses on the heightened
access to price movements; this, like the margin feature on which spread bettors trade, is
somewhat a double-edged sword.

    Risk

    In the same way that the low margin feature offered to traders choosing to spread bet
can act as a double-edged sword, so can the easy-access feature of the mobile trading
platform.

    Considering your trading strategy [http://www.cityindex.co.uk/learn-to-trade ]; focus
is placed around how you trade, your expectations and your level of control. This strategy
must be applied whether trading through your standard platform, or via your mobile phone.

    A risk that can come of mobile trading is the desire to trade on impulse. With
constant exposure to price movements, it can be tempting to place a trade without first
researching and analysing that market which could lead to potential losses.

    iPhone Trading App

    The City Trading app was an industry first when it launched in 2009; it offers City
Index [http://www.cityindex.co.uk/trading-platform/iphone-trading-platform.aspx ] spread
betting and CFD trading account holders access to the full trading platform whenever they
want, wherever they are; direct from their iPhone.

    Key features of the iPhone trading app are:

   
    - Instantly check the latest prices and market movements
    - Trade on the go; whenever, wherever
    - Access the comprehensive charting package
    - Benefit from integrated global investment news, direct from Dow Jones
    - Monitor your favourite markets with Watch Lists
    - Access the full range of order types
    - Enjoy the bespoke charting package created solely for City Trading(TM)
    - Have an overview of your account, including running P&L, cash balance, etc.
    - Customise the home screen tabs to suit your trading needs

    Summary

    Financial spread betting with City Index [http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting ]
could offer you a range of benefits to give you the edge in the spread betting and CFD
trading marketplace.

    About City Index:

    Today more and more individual traders are discovering the benefits of derivatives,
and many of them are discovering them through a City Index trading platform.

    As a group, we transact in excess of 1.5 million trades every month in over 50
countries. We provide access to a wide range of instruments including margined foreign
exchange, CFDs and, in the UK, financial spread betting accounts
[http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting ].

    We constantly look to improve the performance of our platforms and expand our range of
services. The result is our customers benefit from innovative trading tools with
transparent pricing, competitive spreads, and a high standard of customer support. Visit

New Tools to Analyze Local Business Visibility on Search Sites via Universal Business Listing

UBL shows businesses how to optimize their online search profiles by unleashing the Power of Presence

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Business Listing (http://www.UBL.org), the central collection and distribution point for business profiles online, today announced the release of a new set of tools for businesses to analyze their location-based search visibility.

The tools include a free online tool at UBL.org to pre-check the presence of business listings on key search engines and directories, in advance of UBL's full profile syndication.

The second tool, the Local Search Listing Audit, provides an enterprise-grade analysis across a broad array of search publishers for companies with hundreds or thousands of locations. This report provides a PDF summary scoring the visibility, as well as a full spreadsheet data download of the detailed findings, highlighting any variations or errors in name, address, phone number and URL.

This improved tool covers more search sites, has more analysis and allows interactive agencies to view results inside the UBL listing dashboard.

The company also has released a new Visibility Report, as part of its syndication packages, which shows the growth of online references or citations for each listing over time, notably from a Google viewpoint. One national hotel brand used this new tool to track their citations after submission via UBL and found over 200% improvement in the amount of references to their listings on Google.

"These new and expanded tools are important to help businesses understand the reality of their visibility today," said Doyal Bryant, UBL's CEO. "Many do not realize the amount of errors and variations, before they start the clean-up process with UBL."

He said the tools were already heavily used by agencies and UBL resellers in their own sales process to show the value of listing packages to customers.

Bryant said analysis and syndication went hand in hand for Local Search Optimization, and showed proof of the value of the business listing process.

More details of the tools can be found at http://www.ubl.org/reporting . UBL is a service of Charlotte, NC-based Name Dynamics, Inc (NDIX.PK).

Qualcomm Atheros Launches New Time Division Multiple Access Software and Ethernet-over-Coax Return-Path Solution for Set-Top Boxes

-- Qualcomm Atheros Provides Comprehensive End-to-End, Ethernet-based Access and Home Networking Solutions --

BEIJING, March 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Qualcomm Atheros Inc., the networking and connectivity subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), announced today the optimized new time division multiple access (TDMA) software for Ethernet-over-Coax (EoC) applications and Qualcomm Atheros' first entry-level EoC solution, the QCA6411 chipset, that together provide comprehensive, end-to-end broadband access solutions for Chinese multi-system operators (MSOs). The QCA6411 chipset provides an EoC-based solution for return-path in two-way set-top boxes (STBs) for cable television (CATV). The optimized TDMA software, developed for HomePlug AV and P1901-based EoC solutions, offers a host of new features that are critical to operators, including support for end-to-end network management and bandwidth allocation. These two offerings are firsts for the HomePlug AV/IEEE 1901-based EoC technology.

"CATV is an important channel to Qualcomm Atheros. This comprehensive solution launched today is tailor-made for China and will help local CATV operators provide more interactive content and value-added services with better performance to end users," said Dr. Jason Zheng, senior vice president and general manager, infrastructure business unit, Qualcomm Atheros. "With our strong local research and development and technical support teams, we are able to work closely with our customers to offer top-notch, in-time support whenever needed. Going forward, we are committed to continued development of solutions that address the unique requirements of the China CATV industry."

The TDMA software provides an upgrade path for current HomePlug AV and IEEE 1901-based EoC solutions to ensure carrier-grade capability to support many services such as Internet Protocol television (IPTV) and Voice-over-IP (VoIP). Compared to the existing carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) mode, the new software will enable the HomePlug AV and IEEE1901-based EoC networks to offer better manageability and scalability. Dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) improves the performance of the solution through guaranteed bandwidth, controlled latency and jitter elimination. Guaranteed delivery of the management message ensures that the EoC network is more reliable for users. As one of the cable access standards recommended by the China State Administration for Radio, Film and Television (SARFT), HomePlug AV/IEEE 1901-based EoC solutions are widely adopted because of their high throughput, cost efficiency and immunity to noise impairments.

The QCA6411 chipset is a cost-effective solution for STB return-path applications. The QCA6411 replaces the current narrowband return-path solutions in two-way set-top boxes with a cost-effective HomePlug AV/IEEE 1901-based EoC solution, providing much higher bandwidth, performance and manageability.

"Qualcomm Atheros is a leading provider of access technology whose products we've been using for some time," said Qianrong Wan, chief technology officer, Oriental Cable Network, Shanghai. "We are thrilled to see this optimized solution because it will significantly improve our user experience and greatly help us reach our goal to realize the two-way network reform of the China Next Generation Broadcasting (NGB) initiative. We look forward to working with Qualcomm Atheros more in the future."

"We are working with Qualcomm Atheros and employing the QCA6411 in our STB platforms. By leveraging the centralized management platform of Huawei passive optical networking (PON) and EoC, we can deliver an IEEE 1901-based return-path solution for video-on-demand services. We believe that with the upgrade of the IEEE 1901 with TDMA, we will realize a fully manageable, end-to-end Ethernet access solution spanning both optical and coaxial segments," said Mr. Yufa Han, vice president of access network products, Huawei Technology.

The new TDMA software and samples of the QCA6411 chipset will be available to customers in the third quarter of 2012.

Howard Baker Forum Announces New Website

WASHINGTON, March 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Howard Baker Forum announced today the launch of a new website HPC for Energy: Advancing Energy Technologies Through High Performance Computing. The site, http://www.hpc4energy.org, is a clearinghouse and one-stop shop for energy technology businesses interested in leveraging high-performance computing (HPC) and the expertise of the national laboratories to advance the commercialization of their new products.

The website will feature success stories by leaders in energy technology and describe successful partnerships between private industry and national laboratories. The site's mission is to bring business leaders, research institutions, and computing professionals together to discover the impact of high-performance computing on entrepreneurship and innovation.

HPC for Energy is an extension of the on-going program entitled the National Roadmap for Advancing Energy Technologies launched in May 2011 in Washington, D.C., at a national summit hosted by the Howard Baker Forum, the Bipartisan Policy Center, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The U.S. Chamber's Institute for 21st Century Energy, the Council on Competitiveness, the American Energy Innovation Council, the National Venture Capital Association, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Science Coalition co-sponsored the event. These partners produced an actionable, national roadmap for advancing energy technologies through the application of HPC modeling and simulation.

The National Roadmap for Advancing Energy Technologies calls for a series of events around the country to identify challenges and opportunities facing domestic energy companies, a pilot energy incubator program conducted by the national laboratory, and an interactive website to communicate the opportunities to leverage America's HPC assets.

Senator Howard Baker, Chairman of the Howard Baker Forum, observed, "In an increasingly competitive world, the United States must encourage innovation to maintain and, in some cases, reclaim our technological lead in the world economy. One way to accomplish this goal is for the private sector to leverage the extraordinary assets, especially high-performance computing, that reside in our national laboratories. The HPC for Energy website provides a valuable gateway for the private sector to do so." 

"The launch of HPC for Energy is a critical step on the road to competitiveness, innovation and the advance of energy technologies," says Dr. Tomas Diaz de la Rubia, Deputy Director for Science and Technology at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. "The new website will serve as a vital portal for entrepreneurs, startups and technology companies large and small seeking to take advantage of the extraordinary computing and modeling capabilities of our national laboratories making our nation more innovative and more competitive."

For more information, visit http://www.hpc4energy.org and follow @hpc4energy on Twitter for regular updates.

HPC for Energy is a project of the National Roadmap for Advancing Energy Technologies, an ongoing program of the Howard Baker Forum in partnership with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The Roadmap provides a platform for energy technologists, computational experts, industry executives and public officials to foster greater public-private partnerships for advancing energy technologies and innovation in the United States.
