Dell'Oro Group Forecasts Record 2012 10 Gigabit Ethernet Results Driven by Intel's Romley Server Refresh
40 Gigabit Ethernet Expected to Exceed $200 Million
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent market research report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, indicates that 10 Gigabit Ethernet revenue is expected to exceed one-third of overall market revenue in L2-L3 switching during 2012. The report attributes the growth to continued data center deployments utilizing 10 Gigabit Ethernet in Top-of-Rack and Blade switches.
"We believe we are still in the early stages of server access from 1 Gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. We expect the first significant ramp of this migration to start in the second half of 2012 and continue through 2013. We expect server vendors will ramp Intel's Romely chipset quickly in the second half of 2012. Most new high-end servers will, for the most part, be 10 Gigabit Ethernet going forward," said Alan Weckel, Senior Director of Dell'Oro Group. "We believe we will see a mix of connectivity options ranging from blade servers, SFP+ direct attach and 10G Base-T during 2012. We also expect vendors will most likely specialize in a particular area within the data center, or have a large portfolio of products to address customer requirements, as vendors migrate servers from 1 Gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet in significant volumes and look towards 40 Gigabit Ethernet to connect these switches to the core," stated Weckel.
The report also shows that Fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet had the strongest revenue growth during the quarter. Vendors such as Alcatel-Lucent, Avaya, Brocade, Cisco, Extreme, Dell, HP, IBM, and Juniper all have current Ethernet Switch offerings in this segment.

Soitec Announces Adoption of Fully Depleted Technology for Advanced Mobile Platforms
ST-Ericsson selects FD technology for upcoming NovaThor(TM) high performance, low power application processors
BERNIN, France, March 12, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Soitec (Euronext), a world leader in generating and manufacturing revolutionary
semiconductor materials for the electronics and energy industries, announced today that
ST-Ericsson, a leader in wireless platforms and semiconductors, has selected planar fully
depleted silicon on insulator (FD-SOI) technology for use in future mobile platforms.
Soitec's innovative substrates - with an extremely thin top layer which predefines
critical characteristics of the transistor - provide the foundation upon which fully
depleted transistors are built.
"Next-generation mobile consumer devices will need to deliver an even better user
experience and higher performance without sacrificing battery life," said Louis Tannyeres,
chief chip architect, ST-Ericsson. "Together with innovations in overall platform system
design, advances in process technology are key to delivering next-level performance and
higher power efficiency. The results of our work with STMicroelectronics on FD-SOI have
demonstrated that this technology is able to deliver these benefits in a cost-effective
manner, while allowing us to differentiate our solutions."
FD-SOI wafers from Soitec enable enhanced performance for NovaThor(TM) at much lower
battery usage - as much as 35 percent lower power consumption at maximum performance. For
consumers, this can translate into devices that provide four additional hours of
high-speed Web browsing or as much as a day of additional battery life.
"FD provides a low-risk option for semiconductor companies such as ST-Ericsson that
are seeking to take advantage of the benefits of a fully depleted transistor architecture
while leveraging existing design and manufacturing capabilities," said Paul Boudre, chief
operating officer of Soitec. "This announcement represents the industry's first step
toward fully depleted planar CMOS technology, years ahead of when alternative processes
will be available from foundries. We are positioned to provide the volume of qualified
wafer manufacturing required to enable the industry to speed the adoption of planar fully
depleted technology into mainstream mobile applications."
"STMicroelectronics and its partners Leti, Soitec and IBM have invested several years
of development in FD-SOI technology, and ST has recently demonstrated the strong
differentiation of this technology versus conventional bulk CMOS, both for
high-performance and low-power features on several IPs at 28nm and below," said Joel
Hartmann, STMicroelectronics assistant general manager, Technology R&D. "This combination
makes FD-SOI particularly suitable for wireless and tablet applications where it
essentially provides the fully depleted transistor benefits of FinFETs on a planar
conventional technology, while allowing advanced back bias techniques, which are not
available with FinFETs. We are delighted that it could be adopted by ST-Ericsson for their
next generation of products."
As innovative form factors push semiconductor manufacturers to move beyond 28nm
process nodes, it is becoming clear that traditional bulk CMOS process technology cannot
balance these attributes effectively. FD wafers enable a planar, fully depleted transistor
architecture - a breakthrough technology that empowers semiconductor companies to bypass
the bulk CMOS roadblock, enabling the efficient design of next-generation, lower power
processors for smartphones and mobile computing devices. This architecture is essential in
implementing transistor technology that solves - with less process complexity - the
scaling, leakage and variability issues that are associated with shrinking CMOS technology
starting at 28nm.
About Fully Depleted Value
FD wafers comprise an extremely thin layer of silicon over a buried oxide (BOx) layer.
This gives unique properties to the transistors built in this layer. These wafers are
ideally suited to mobile and consumer multimedia applications, enabling power savings of
up to 40 percent, compared to traditional bulk CMOS, at the same performance level.
Similarly, peak performance of processors built on fully depleted wafers can experience up
to 60 percent increase, depending on design optimizations. Exceptional performance is
maintained at very low power supply (sub-0.7V) so that ultra-low power operation of mobile
devices in many use cases can be envisaged.
Additionally, fully depleted wafers are processed with standard fab tools sharing many
process steps with a conventional, low-power bulk CMOS process. They also save 10 percent
of the steps required to fabricate the chips leading to a very competitive cost of
finished chip.

Jiff Inc. Unveils Circle of Health, the Industry's First Private HIPAA-Compliant Healthcare Social Network and Digital Health Apps Platform
Free network will enable consumers and physicians to share information and access collection of digital health apps in a secure private HIPAA-compliant environment
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jiff Inc. today unveiled the industry's first private HIPAA-compliant healthcare social network and digital health apps platform, called Circle of Health. Jiff will give consumers the unprecedented ability to create their own Circle of Health in a private, secure, HIPAA-compliant environment that is entirely consumer-centric. The closed beta version of Jiff will be available for public access during the South by Southwest Interactive Festival.
"To date, healthcare has been communicated only on paper and through phone calls and office visits. This is a $2.7 trillion industry without an effective way for physicians and patients to communicate and effectively keep track of the patient's progress between office visits. Circle of Health changes that," said Derek Newell, CEO of Jiff. "Circle of Health will allow consumers, their loved ones and their care providers to share critical health information and easily monitor and manage their health through digital health applications that seamlessly integrate with each other."
Jiff is a consumer-centered healthcare social network and digital health apps platform that allows users to build personalized communities of care comprised of family, friends, doctors, hospice professionals, midwives, home health providers, health coaches and anyone else with whom they want to connect and collaborate. In this private, secure, HIPAA-compliant network, they can share medical documents, videos and information useful to managing health and wellness. Jiff is free, and patients own and control all of their data. Creating a Circle of Health is simple; consumers simply go toJiff and add three to 15 others who they would like to be in their network. Those people then accept or reject the invitation. Users can also set up networks for others, such as parents or friends. Jiff carries no advertisements.
"This closed beta launch of Jiff marks a major milestone in Jiff's development of a comprehensive platform that will host a broad array of digital health apps for consumers," Newell said. "Patients, healthcare providers, insurance companies and others have all grappled with the enormity of healthcare data and information, and the deluge is only expected to worsen. Jiff offers a solution for managing all that data in a personalized way."
As part of the Jiff network, Jiff is building a broad collection of digital health applications that users can also access. Jiff's first application, the JiffPad, allows patients to record the knowledge communicated in a doctor's visit in short videos called JiffTalks and share them instantly with their Circle of Health on Jiff. Following the end of the closed beta, consumers may register for the open beta on Jiff.
About Jiff Inc.
Jiff Inc. provides the first private HIPAA-compliant healthcare social network and digital health apps platform. Jiff's platform allows consumers and healthcare professionals to build personalized and private communities of care in a HIPAA-compliant environment that connects people to their healthcare in a way not possible before Jiff. Founded in 2010 in Palo Alto, California, Jiff has assembled a world-class team of healthcare and consumer internet leaders to deploy a suite of elegant, effective and easy to use digital health tools that will redefine consumer and healthcare professionals' expectations for what can and should be done to improve healthcare.
The first application announced on the Jiff platform, the JiffPad, is an iPad educational platform that makes doctor- patient communications more effective and memorable by transforming conversations and images into videos that patients can reference and share from the privacy of their own homes. JiffPad won the Morgenthaler Ventures' 2011 DC2VC Start-up showcase and was honored as a finalist at the prestigious TechCrunch Disrupt conference.

More customers can look forward to ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y., March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* plans to roll out 4G LTE in Staten Island soon, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology and faster mobile Internet speeds. The expansion into Staten Island will bring 4G LTE to all five boroughs.
Staten Island customers will see several benefits from AT&T 4G LTE, including:
-- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet
speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Customers will be able to stream,

Gamesys: New Swedish Jackpotjoy Celebrate Their First Progressive Winner!
LONDON, March 12, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Just a few weeks after launching, Jackpotjoy's brand new Swedish site celebrated its
first progressive jackpot winner [http://se.jackpotjoy.com ] last weekend when Karolina R
won a staggering GBP86,932 with a GBP1 wager playing Deal or No Deal...
Not happy with just being the UK's most popular online bingo
[http://www.jackpotjoy.com ] and online slots site, Jackpotjoy is currently expanding into
the European market with their first port of call being Sweden, whose new Jackpotjoy.se
site opened at the beginning of March.
"One of the advantages of coming into the market with a mature product is that you
come armed with a range of big progressive jackpots," explains Michael Saunders, Head of
Jackpotjoy.
For those who don't know, a progressive jackpot is one that's fed by a portion of
every wager taken on a specific game. The jackpot will continue to climb until someone
wins it. New sites often struggle as their progressives won't have had the time to grow,
but this isn't a problem for Jackpotjoy.se who celebrated their first big winner over the
weekend.
Karolina R was one of the first ten people to register on the new site, and had been a
member for less than a week when she won a full GBP86,932 playing Jackpotjoy's famous Deal
or No Deal Slot game.
During a brief chat with her, Karolina confirmed she's a student who'll be paying off
her student loan with some of the money as well as buying a new bike and saving the rest -
sensible girl!
Alongside the Deal or No Deal Jackpot, players in Sweden can play for Jackpotjoy's
exclusive Tiki Temple progressive jackpot which currently stands at over GBP750,000kr or
Diamond Bonanza which is offering over GBP230,000kr.
All these games, alongside loads more, are currently available to play in English or
Swedish with Jackpotjoy.
GAMESYS
The Gamesys Group was founded in April 2001 by Noel Hayden and a small team of
developers. Since then their flagship site, Jackpotjoy.com, has become the UKs leading
online gaming destination giving away over GBP4,000,000 every day and producing 10 winners
every second.
FreeWave to Showcase Latest Wireless Data Radio Offerings and Share Ways to Overcome Pipeline Integrity Challenges at NACE Corrosion 2012
Industry expert Craig Held to speak on Exploring New Options for Cathodic Protection Remote Monitoring
SALT LAKE CITY, March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NACE CORROSION 2012 (Booth #2300) -- FreeWave Technologies, (http://www.freewave.com), manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, will showcase its latest technologies for cathodic protection at the NACE Corrosion 2012 Conference and Exposition (http://events.nace.org/conferences/c2012/index_overview.asp). Besides demonstrating its latest products for cathodic protection applications in oil and gas, water/wastewater industries, among other marketplaces, industry expert, Craig Held, will be speaking on new options for cathodic protection remote monitoring.
"Protection of our pipeline and waterway infrastructure is vital to the overall safety, day-to-day commerce and operation of our country," explained Craig Held, general manager, international at FreeWave Technologies. "Mitigating problems before they happen can avert disasters from occurring and ensure safety and protection of our critical infrastructure that we all rely upon each and every day."
FreeWave will be showing a number of its latest product offerings, including its popular FGR2 Family of Radios, HTplus, IO-E, Battery Powered Waterproof Unit (BPWU) and the GX-CP, its newest cathodic protection wireless radio at 2.4 GHz frequency.
-- FGR2 Family of Radios: The FreeWave FGR2 is the next generation of the
FGR serial family. The FGR2 is a cost effective solution that allows
customers to incorporate wireless communications into a wide variety of
applications. Products in the FGR2 family include the FGR2-CE, FGR2-CU,
FGR2-IO-IOE, FGR2-CP and FGR2-PE.The FGR2-PE is unique because it offers
industrial serial and Ethernet wireless connectivity using license-free
spread spectrum for data communication over long distances. The
future-proof combination of two serial ports and two switched Ethernet
ports give customers the ability to transition from serial to Ethernet
data communications without having to replace their existing wireless
communications infrastructure.
-- HTplus: The HTplus is a leap forward for customers who need an
industrial grade high-speed Ethernet radio that operates in harsh
environments and noisy RF conditions. Designed to have the same high
level of quality that FreeWave's products are known for, the HTplus is a
rugged and reliable solution that performs in situations where other
products fail.
-- IO-E: The IO Expansion Module offers a scalable solution to meet the
demands of customers' automation requirements. The IO Expansion Module
may either be stacked on an applicable IO radio or serve as expandable
remote IO modules through a serial connection. Regardless of the
configuration, up to 16 modules may be stacked on the radio or base
module. The IO Expansion Module is Class 1 Division 2 UL approved and
adds significant flexibility to an existing Modbus IO network.
-- BPWU: The BPWU offers more than a two-year battery life making it
perfect for difficult-to-access locations with pipe-to-soil measurement
intervals that are measured in weeks not days. The waterproof and
submersible capabilities of the unit enable installation where water is
present, further enhancing corrosion monitoring in water/wastewater
applications.
-- GX-CP: The GX-CP system offers the potential to monitor rectifier
operations, pipe-to-soil potentials, as well as supply supplemental
analog inputs to allow for pipeline scrubbing, compressor functionality
and other operational parameters. The GX-CP comes in 2.4 GHz frequency.
In addition, Held will be presenting a paper entitled "Exploring New Options for Cathodic Protection Remote Monitoring" on Monday, March 12 at 2:30 p.m. in the Salt Palace Convention Center, Room 155 F. Held will examine key considerations for implementing an automated remote monitoring solution. To help operators make the right cathodic protection choice, he will review the most effective security offerings, discuss seamless integration of multiple pipe-to-soils with IO Expansion technologies and highlight the A/C signal interference detection.

Better Search for Small Screens. ICAP Patent Brokerage Announces for Auction a Patented Technique for More Efficient Search on Mobile Devices with Smaller Displays
LOS ANGELES, March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ICAP Patent Brokerage, a division of ICAP plc and the world's largest intellectual property brokerage firm and organizer of ICAP Ocean Tomo Auctions, is offering for auction a patented technique for more efficient search on mobile devices with smaller displays from AccelKey LLC. The lot will be included in the 15th ICAP Ocean Tomo IP Auction on March 29, 2012, at Terranea Resort near Los Angeles, California.
Mobile devices (e.g., mobile phones, PDAs, tablets, etc.) often have a small screen with a limited viewing area and a small keyboard with a limited number of keys. This makes it difficult for a user to perform quick searches and selections within a list such as an address book or song listing. Some devices have a hidden keyboard that has to be slid out or opened requiring additional time to access the keyboard. Virtual keyboards are sometimes displayed on touch screens, however such keyboards may be small and difficult to use or may even require a stylus for operation.
Key Characteristics & Benefits
This patent portfolio addresses market limitations by disclosing a technique for selecting an entry from a list of choices on an electronic device.
-- Various banks (or groups of characters) with a specific set of
characters are displayed on a device to the user and upon a particular
selection, the set of characters in the bank is appended to a prefix and
is used to determine a current result list containing entries matching
the prefix.
-- For example, the match may be found in the first name, middle name, or
last name of a contact in a list of names in a phonebook.
-- The current result list is then displayed to the user with those entries
that match the prefix being highlighted.
-- The user can then scroll through the reduced list of entries and make a
specific selection.
-- This technique enables the user to select an entry using minimal input
from a display that can fit in a small area.
Market Potential
This IP is important for manufacturers of mobile devices (e.g., mobile phones, PDAs, tablets, etc.) and those who develop software applications for these devices.

Carnegie Mellon CyLab Researchers Develop New Smartphone App To Protect Consumers From Cybercriminals and Unsafe Communications
PITTSBURGH, March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnegie Mellon University CyLab researchers have developed a new smartphone app that leverages the growing proliferation of these devices to establish a secure basis for Internet communications.
"With SafeSlinger, users can gain control over their exchanged information through end-to-end encryption, preventing intermediate servers or service providers from reading their messages or other sensitive stored data in their smartphones," said Adrian Perrig, technical director of Carnegie Mellon CyLab and a professor of electrical and computer engineering at CMU.
Perrig along with Michael W. Farb, a CyLab research programmer, Jon McCune, a CyLab research systems scientist, and CMU students Gurtej Singh Chandok and Manish Burman developed SafeSlinger to help mobile phone users safely and privately retrieve information from trusted sources.
"SafeSlinger provides you with the confidence that the person you are communicating with is actually the person they have represented themselves to be," Farb said. "Perhaps the most impressive feature is that SafeSlinger provides secure communications and file transfer even if the servers involved are tainted with malware."
As more and more consumers access the Internet from an ever-expanding pool of mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, Web-based threats continue to become more frequent and increasingly sophisticated.
"We increasingly lose control over our data. But SafeSlinger's user-centric security design includes an advanced protocol, which incorporates elements of several cryptographic schemes and factors in the prevention of numerous types of attacks," said Perrig, a 2006 winner of the Sloan Research Fellowship for securing sensor networks and a 2004 recipient of a Career Award from the National Science Foundation for work on secure and resilient sensor network communication infrastructure.
