Ruckus Wireless Makes Big Move to Small Cells

Unveils SmartCell(TM) a New Line of Small Cell Service Provider Products that Ease Access, Backhaul, and Core Capacity Pressures While Delivering Reliable Wireless Services in High-Density Areas

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/-- MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS -- Ruckus Wireless(TM) today announced SmartCell, the first heterogeneous small cell wireless edge system that lets operators easily inject wireless capacity, increase coverage and enable new edge services while relieving radio access, backhaul and core infrastructure bottlenecks created by the deluge of data traffic hitting their networks.

The fast uptake of mobile data services, driven by smartphones, laptops, and tablets, has accelerated data-traffic growth to the point where macro cellular networks are no longer sufficient to meet subscriber demand in many high-density settings. While the introduction of Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology in the macro cellular network will provide partial relief, traffic volumes will continue to grow faster than operators can economically add capacity.

Ruckus SmartCell is the first in a new category of small cell systems designed to solve these problems by combining a multi-radio, multi-function access point, the SmartCell 8800, with the industry's first small cell HetNet edge services platform, the SmartCell 200 gateway. The Ruckus SmartCell system lets operators easily enhance and extend their macro networks with smaller cellular networks that are an inseparable part of the mobile network infrastructure and built as part of an end-to-end solution.

With SmartCell, mobile operators can gain a capacity boost from LTE small cells, cutting costs and complexity by co-locating and combining them with Wi-Fi access points, sharing site-lease agreements and backhaul. The integration of Wi-Fi and LTE small cells within the cellular core also helps operators optimize network utilization across the radio access network, providing a further improvement in performance, and creating a seamless experience for their subscribers.

The Case for Small Cells

Small cells represent a new architectural approach, enabling mobile operators to bring wireless capacity closer to subscribers, both indoors and outdoors, helping to relieve the growing pains caused by more devices, more users and more concurrent wireless connections. In-Stat estimates that by 2015, worldwide shipments of small cell equipment will reach $14 billion with outdoor metrocell shipments realizing a compound annual growth rate of 248% over the next five years.

According to Peter Rysavy, president of Rysavy Research, "Small cells increase network capacity by reducing the number of subscribers per coverage area. Such small cells, however, can be problematic to deploy due to challenges such as providing backhaul. Any solution that helps overcome such challenges will ultimately benefit both operators and subscribers."

"The telecom industry is going through major reconstruction as operators evaluate new network strategies to tackle the impact that the mobile Internet is having on their infrastructures," said Selina Lo, president and CEO of Ruckus Wireless.

"It's not about whether operators should deploy Wi-Fi or cellular within smaller cells, they need to do both. By putting small cells closer to the subscriber, operators can lower the cost of transporting each bit while boosting wireless capacity. Users will access the network at much higher data rates and be able to get on and off the network more quickly - utilizing less network capacity from a spectrum and time perspective. Our SmartCell is the first system of its kind designed with this in mind," said Lo.

Optimized Site Acquisition and No Touch Integration with the Mobile Core

One of the primary problems operators face with small cell deployments is the costly and time-consuming process of site acquisition. By combining Wi-Fi, cellular and backhaul within a single, small form factor device, the SmartCell 8800 is an ideal solution for rapid deployment in dense urban environments where flexible power, mounting and backhaul options are crucial to realizing network coverage objec­tives.

The Ruckus SmartCell system also integrates seamlessly with existing mobile operator 3GPP and LTE macro infrastructures with no disruption using standard 3G and 4G core interfaces. Regardless of the access method (cellular or Wi-Fi) the SmartCell 200 gateway makes full use of existing core systems such as authentication, billing and service provisioning interfaces to deliver a radio access-agnostic and -transparent experience for subscribers.

Cost-Effective Wi-Fi Backhaul for Small Cell Traffic

With the introduction of a large number of small cells, new challenges emerge for backhauling traffic from potentially tens of thousands of locations - often making conventional point-to-point microwave, bonded copper, and fiber-based backhaul solutions impractical or uneconomical.

Ruckus SmartCell uses advanced self-organizing network (SON) principles to create resilient, high-speed Wi-Fi mesh backbone links between small cells. Proven in large-scale carrier deployments, Ruckus Smart Mesh technology offers a cost-effective, reliable and flexible alternative to conventional approaches.

Adaptive directional antennas (BeamFlex(TM)) and predictive channel management (ChannelFly(TM)) combined with Smart Mesh deliver reliable backhaul for licensed cellular and unlicensed Wi-Fi traffic in both line of sight and non-line of site environments.

No-Hassle Clientless Authentication and Connectivity

To improve the user experience, operators want to eliminate the hassle of installing special software on subscriber phones for authentication as well as simplifying the Wi-Fi connection process. Current I-WLAN integration requires client handsets to support technologies such as IPSec and IKEv2 for authentication. However very few of today's smart mobile devices support this.

To simplify the authentication experience, the Ruckus SmartCell system employs a clientless approach using EAP methods with IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication. This eliminates installing any software on client devices. Clients simply connect to the wireless network using the preferred EAP method with underlying secure AES encryption. The network then handles the 802.1x authentication process and integrates into the mobile packet core in a secure and manageable manner.

Bringing a 3G-like user experience to Wi-Fi authentication and roaming, the Ruckus SmartCell system makes use of the new 802.11u protocol within the Wi-Fi alliance HotSpot 2.0 framework. With it, subscribers no longer must manually select Wi-Fi networks and enter security keys and credentials.  802.11u-capable devices query the network before authentication to determine the security method (e.g., EAP type), the credential type to use and if the Wi-Fi service is run by one of the operator's roaming partners.

SmartCell Unleashed

Specifically designed for service providers, SmartCell is a new line of small cell products that include:

    --  the SmartCell 8800, first multi-radio outdoor access node developed to
        integrate 3G/4G, Wi-Fi and backhaul into a single, lightweight,
        small-form factor and,
    --  the SmartCell 200, the first massively scalable small cell HetNet edge
        gateway capable of supporting hundreds of thousands of Ruckus or
        non-Ruckus APs and millions of clients as well as providing
        standards-based 3GPP integration into existing and future mobile core
        infrastructures.
Introducing SmartCell 200: The Ultimate Wireless Edge Services Platform

Situated at the edge of operators' mobile networks, the SmartCell 200 represents the first in a new category of scalable and versatile edge service platforms that eliminate the difficulties operators are experiencing with building and managing large-scale small cell networks and integrating them into their mobile core.

Formerly known as the Ruckus Wireless Service Gateway (WSG), the SmartCell 200 is a highly integrated solution offering a huge collection of functions that transform the WSG into the first multi-function HetNet small cell gateway. This gives operators quicker, easier and more flexible deployment models that are much more economical relative to competitive solutions which require many different devices. In addition, the SmartCell topology allows operators to linearly scale their core capacity with growth, adding more SmartCell 200s to their network as client traffic rises and the network expands.

The SmartCell 200 integrates a unique collection of internally developed capabilities as well as technologies from the acquisition of two "best of breed" companies: IntelliNet and ComAbility. IntelliNet brings a number of advanced functions including I-WLAN-based PDG/TTG, femtocell gateway, as well as standard interfaces into the mobile core. ComAbility enables Ruckus to integrate subscriber and policy management and other carrier business services.

Within a 2U form factor, the Ruckus SmartCell 200 supports carrier Wi-Fi and small cell access and 3G/4G offload services not heretofore found in any single platform. These include packet data and tunnel termination gateway (PDG/TTG) functionality, wireless LAN management of Ruckus and multi-vendor APs, small cell gateway services, subscriber and policy management, and carrier class element management. The SmartCell 200 is designed to be a services platform for enabling value-added edge services such as location-based and content services, edge caching, deep packet inspection and advanced quality of service implementations.

To support existing Wi-Fi access points already deployed within operator environments, the SmartCell 200 functions as a vendor-agnostic Wi-Fi data gateway, giving operators a single interaction and enforcement point for subscriber management, policy enforcement and Wi-Fi billing services.

The SmartCell 200 provides true mobile data offload functionality across both the control and data planes. It supports multiple offload architecture options, including the standard 3GPP I-WLAN approach based on IPsec and IKEv2, as well as an innovative approach to PDG/TTG functionality based on 802.1x, GRE, and GTP (v1 and v2) as well as PMIP support.

Flexible deployment and data forwarding options include the use of PDG to locally break out non-essential traffic from the core to offload unnecessary processing as well as TTG functionality to transparently tunnel all traffic and signaling back to the 3GPP core.

The SmartCell 200 allows operators to use untrusted Wi-Fi networks (via I-WLAN) as well as trusted Wi-Fi networks to offload mobile data. The SmartCell 200 provides for transparent and secure authentication of both SIM-based and non SIM-based devices through a variety of client authentication methods including 802.1x EAP-SIM/AKA/TLS/TTLS, MAC address, and WISPr-based captive portal.

In carrier trials now, the SmartCell 200 Gateway can be clustered to provide unmatched linear scalability and resiliency, processing up to 20Gbps of throughput and managing up to 10,000 Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi access points for every 2U rack space.

Inject Capacity Today, Position for Tomorrow with the Ruckus SmartCell 8800

A completely new class of outdoor wireless product that integrates licensed and unlicensed band radio access technology, the Ruckus SmartCell 8800 was specifically developed to meet the capacity, density and siting challenges operators face in deploying heterogeneous networks within urban environments.

The SmartCell 8800 uniquely provides dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi along with an optional add-on module for Ruckus or third-party 3G/4G radios that share integrated power and backhaul. This gives operators the flexibility to deploy Wi-Fi with Smart Mesh backhaul today and upgrade to Wi-Fi with LTE when and where desired without any mounting or backhaul changes.

Integrated within the small, low-profile and lightweight form factor, patented Ruckus BeamFlex adaptive antenna technol­ogy enables the SmartCell 8800 to deliver longer range Wi-Fi and cellular signals, provide better signal penetration, maintain resilient mesh connections, and adapt to interference and changing environmental conditions.

The SmartCell 8800 is centrally provisioned and managed by the Ruckus SmartCell 200 gateway. Advanced carrier services include support for 802.11u, integrated GPS auto-location, smart meshing, predictive channel assignment and always-on WLAN spectrum monitoring. The SmartCell 8800 is available for trials immediately with general availability expected in the second half of this year.

SpareOne Debuts World's Only Cell Phone That Runs on a Single AA Battery, Maintains Charge Up To 15 Years

BARCELONA, Spain, February 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

   
              Ideal for emergencies, international travel, and when power is not
     accessible, SpareOne has immediately become the world's most usable cell phone.

    SpareOne(TM), the world's only cellular phone that runs on a single AA battery, made
its European debut today at the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona.

    SpareOne provides up to 10 hours of talk time and 15 years (yes, years) of talk-ready
stored power using a single AA battery (based on Energizer(R) Ultimate Lithium AA battery,
included with phone.) Because AA batteries are the most widely used batteries in the
world, SpareOne has immediately become the world's most usable cell phone, even in the
absence of electricity.

    SpareOne's slim, lightweight, minimalist design makes it ideal for slipping into
purses, briefcases, backpacks, and auto glove boxes - anywhere it might be needed when
power fails or a primary cell phone runs out of juice. Equipped with an emergency call
button (such as 911 or 112), SpareOne can access emergency services with or without a SIM
card and transmit the phone's current location.

    SpareOne includes helpful functions such as the ability to pre-program important phone
numbers and auto text reply. Users may swap the SIM cards from their primary cell phones
that have lost power, and continue to send and receive calls using their existing phone
numbers. SpareOne also comes with a micro SIM adapter to work with iPhone SIM cards.

    Created by XPAL Power, the battery technology company behind leading portable power
brands PowerSkin(R) and Energizer(R) Energi to Go(R), SpareOne is a dual-band GSM cell
phone with patented technology enabling it to be powered using any AA battery (Alkaline,
NiMH or Lithium).

    "In addition to providing a vital lifeline during emergencies, SpareOne is a perfect
back-up phone that you never have to worry about keeping charged," said Alan Cymberknoh,
SpareOne Project Director at XPAL Power.

    SpareOne, will be available mid-March to ship worldwide. Pre-orders currently are
being accepted at http://www.SpareOnePhone.com. Different GSM versions of the phone for
the Americas and Europe/Asia/Africa/Oceania will be available.

    SpareOne's myriad of uses include:

    Emergencies: With a built-in torchlight and the ability to automatically transmit its
location, SpareOne is a reliable tool for urgent response (911) during a crisis or natural
disaster, when AA batteries may be the only power source available.

    Families: SpareOne provides peace of mind to families. Its nine customizable,
easy-to-set speed dial buttons keep open lines of communication with children, seniors and
other loved ones.

    Travel: Tourism/travel/airline companies may customize SpareOne for their customers,
programming it with minutes that travelers can use to make calls at local rates, and
pre-programming the phones with one-button numbers to taxis, restaurants, airlines, and
local concierge services.

    Outdoor Enthusiasts: SpareOne is an ideal safety companion for people who enjoy
outdoor activities such as yachting, skiing, hunting and fishing. Wherever there is cell
phone coverage, SpareOne maintains its ability to make and receive calls and to be located
in an emergency, with or without electrical power.

    Rural/Developing World: Because SpareOne uses the most common battery (AA) for power,
it serves as a reliable communications tool in remote or rural areas where power is not
readily or consistently available.

    Special events & corporate branding: SpareOne will offer customized phone designs and
colors for corporate branding and messaging.

corporation with sales and marketing offices in Irvine, CA. The TennRich factory in

Sennheiser Improves Mobile Travel Line(R): Successful High-End Wireless Headsets Get X-factor

BARCELONA, Spain, February 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    From ShowStoppers @ MWC 2012: Possibly one of the world's best wireless Bluetooth(R)
headsets just got even better. Sennheiser's award-winning Mobile Music wireless series now
have the X-factor. The new MM 450-X and M 550-X combines the latest Apt-X(R)technology for
superb sound with a long list of premium features that make the headsets a blast to
listen, talk and travel with.

    Why settle for less than the best, when you're on the move? Sennheiser now adds
X-factor to its two new flagships in Sennheiser's wireless Travel Line(R) series, the
over-the-ear MM 550-X and the on-ear MM 450-X. The latest apt-X(R) technology has made
wireless conversations and listening to music even better. By compressing sound at a four
times higher rate, apt-X(R) delivers a fuller and wider audio spectrum.

    The MM 550-X and 450-X are packed with premium features that make the headsets the
number one choice for every audiophile who doesn't want to deal with background noise, but
still wants to stay connected on the move. Featuring the NoiseGard(TM) 2.0 active noise
cancelling technology the headsets cancel out 90% of the background noise and deliver
calls in crystal-clear quality. And the praised TalkThrough function delivers clear
conversation with only a press of a button activating the external microphone. There is no
need to remove the headset.

    In spite of all the advanced technology both headsets are lightweight and foldable
making them the perfect travelling companion.

    Another great step towards the perfect sound

    "You'll love these two new darlings whether you're on the move or not. With all the
premium features and the latest apt-X technology, we've certainly taken another great step
in our never-ending chase for the perfect sound," says Product Manager Christian Ern from
Sennheiser Communications.

    Both headsets support most of the apt-X mobile devices as well as Mac OS X Lion. If
the mobile device or the computer doesn't support apt-X the headsets will automatically
switch to regular Bluetooth(R) audio quality. All headsets have a cable included, which
also comes in handy when travelling by plane.

    Besides high-end sound quality, the top model, MM 550-X, offers surround sound via the
SRS WOW HD(TM) technology that creates a wider, taller sound, with greater clarity and a
stronger bass.

    The headsets will be available worldwide from March 2012.

    Like the rest of Sennheiser's products the headsets are built to last, which is why
they come with Sennheiser's special two year international warranty.

    About Sennheiser Communications

    Sennheiser Communications A/S is a joint venture between the electro acoustics
specialist Sennheiser Electronic GmbH & Co. KG and the hearing healthcare specialist
William Demant Holding Group. The company manufactures wireless and wired headsets for
mobile phones, Call Centres, Offices and Unified Communications, as well as PC and Mac

HiDrive Free: New Apps for Your Free Online Storage

BARCELONA, Spain, February 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

   
                         - Updates for iOS, Android and Windows Phone

    ShowStoppers @ MWC 2012 -- The Mobile World Congress is the launch pad for the new
Apps for HiDrive Free - the free online storage: smartphone and tablet users with iOS,
Android and Windows Phone can look forward to a number of new features. The two most
important new features include a super-fast slideshow of images, and improved exchange of
files with other Apps and the operating system, so that it's much easier to manage your
files. The Apps are available for free in each respective marketplace. To activate a free
5 GB online storage account, click over to http://www.free-hidrive.com or simply
activate a new account through the App.

    Current Digicam or photos on your mobile can be several megabytes in size, sometimes
too big when you need to just quickly show one or two photos. With this in mind, the
HiDrive Apps automatically format a small preview, so that it's easy to scroll through
picture galleries as they were stored on the smartphone. The original files of the photos
remain unchanged.

    In iOS, you can save files to HiDrive from other Apps, or open files out of HiDrive
with other Apps - ideal for making quick corrections to your documents. You can also
upload photos directly from the camera. With Android, the whole gallery can be uploaded in
the background, so even the newest photographs are always saved. In Windows Phone, you can
save pictures in the Picture Hub.

    Online storage is the ideal complement to any smartphone. Not only is it easy to
extend the limited memory of the smartphone, online storage is also the best place to
safely store your backups. Furthermore, files which are too big to send by email, can be
shared as an individual download - also a feature of the App.

    "With HiDrive Free, users benefit from plenty of storage space to save important
documents, holiday pictures or music files. In short, everything of value that should not
get lost. And the best thing is - it's free," said Damian Schmidt, Chief Executive Officer
of STRATO. "Normally, data is bound to the medium on which it is stored. But anyone who
uses HiDrive Free for storing files can access them anytime and anywhere - at home, at
work, or on the move via smartphone or tablet."

    HiDrive Free can also be mounted on to a user's computer like a local drive and
supports Microsoft Windows(R), Mac and Linux. HiDrive Free employs strict safety measures:
data is stored in a certified and secure data center in Germany which is governed by
German data privacy law - one of the strictest in the world in terms of data protection.

    HiDrive Free is available worldwide in English, Spanish, and German; Portuguese
launches in March 2012. Signing up for an account is easy and free of advertising, even in
the free package: New users simply visit http://www.free-hidrive.com and enter basic
information including email address, username and password. Starting in March, users can
earn extra file space for free by inviting friends. If users want even more storage space,
additional sharing features, and ways to access their HiDrive account, premium packages
are also available, ranging from 100 up to 500 GB of storage space. HiDrive 100 costs 9,90
Euro/month* and HiDrive 500 is priced at 29,90 Euro/month*. Premium packages offer users
more sharing options including file upload via email or web form and additional protocols
like SMB/CIFS and rsync for professional use.

Audience Redefines the Voice Experience of Feature Phones

New earSmart eS110 Advanced Voice Processor Enables the Best-Sounding Voice Experience on Low Cost Feature Phones.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Feature phone users can now enjoy the same voice quality as high end smartphones, thanks to new technology introduced today by Audience®, the leader in intelligent voice and audio processing solutions for mobile devices.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120227/LA59699)

The earSmart(TM) eS110 is the first single-microphone Advanced Voice processor, for feature phones, to enable clear voice calls by suppressing some of the most challenging "non-stationary" noise sources, like a busy street or a crowded bar. The earSmart eS110 processor also enables devices to be used in both handset and speakerphone mode, while still delivering crisp, clean calls.

Based on the science of human hearing, earSmart eS110 Advanced Voice processors instinctively distinguish and process sound, enhancing voice and filtering out noise, from both ends of your call.

"Although smartphones get most of the press, they still comprise less than a third of worldwide cell-phone shipments," said Linley Gwennap, principal analyst of The Linley Group. "The eS110 addresses the other two-thirds of the market, bringing an improved audio experience to phones even when manufacturing cost must be kept to a minimum."

"Advanced voice processing is perhaps the most impactful technology a device manufacturer can add to a low cost feature phone to improve the quality of voice calls," said Peter Santos, president and chief executive officer of Audience. "The eS110 is a remarkable achievement in this regard, delivering the ability to have clear conversations, in almost every environment, on a wider range of mobile devices."

Designed for feature phones and entry-level smartphones on Narrowband networks, the earSmart eS110 features a high performance, low-power Audio DSP core that enables:

    --  Stationary and non-stationary noise suppression - from both ends of a
        mobile call and in both handset and speakerphone mode;
    --  HiFi Voice - a wideband HD voice listening experience for mobile users
        connected to 2G and 3G mobile Narrowband networks;
    --  Acoustic Echo Cancellation - eliminates echoes and enables full-duplex
        conversations while in speakerphone mode
    --  Ease of Integration - the earSmart eS110 voice processor is offered in a
        compact 3.5mm x 3.5mm, BGA package that easily fits any handset design
        and allows device manufacturers to design once and use across multiple
        single microphone devices.
The earSmart eS110 will sample to device manufacturers in March and is expected to appear in mobile devices by the end of the year. For more information on earSmart Advanced Voice processors from Audience, please go http://www.earSmart.com

MediaTek's Full Line of 3G Platforms Aims to Address Mid to Entry-Level Smartphone Market

HSINCHU, Taiwan, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- MediaTek Inc., a leading fabless semiconductor company for wireless communications and digital multimedia solutions today announced the availability of the MT6515, its next generation TD smartphone solution for China sub-RMB 1000 (approx. $160 USD) smartphone market. The MT6515 TD smartphone platform solution integrates a powerful 1GHz ARM CortexTM-A9 processor, 3D hardware, and runs the latest "Ice-Cream Sandwich" Android 4.0 release. MediaTek's latest foray into the 3G smartphone market enables high system performance with low power consumption and high cost-performance ratio that raises the bar for what consumers will come to expect from a TD-SCDMA smartphone experience. 

According to a recent report released by the market research firm, Strategy Analytics, in the 3rd quarter of 2011, China overtook the US as the world's biggest smartphone market. Sub-RMB 1000 smartphones were one the fastest growing segments of this market, due in large part to multiple purchases of these models by China's three major operators in response to consumer needs. As a result, China has seen a sharp rise in smartphone sales starting in the beginning of 2011. MediaTek, with its years of experience serving the industry, attention to continuous innovation, and recent investments in the arena of 3G technologies, has been perfectly poised to meet the growing needs of this new market. With its cost effective, yet high performance smartphone platforms, MediaTek, along with industry partners (i.e. mobile device manufactures and operators), has emerged as a leader in the recent explosion of popularity of mid and entry-level smartphones.

As a member of China's TD Industry Alliance (TDiA), MediaTek has invested heavily in the R&D of TD chipsets following the initial release of the TD-SCDMA standard. MediaTek's signature high integration, yet low power consumption platforms have been introduced into TD operators' handset customization strategies, and MediaTek currently offers a TD mobile device platform series uniquely customized to meet the needs of the Chinese market. As such, it is little surprise that among the mobile devices included in China Mobile's multiple terminal procurement lists, one finds a variety of end user products that run on MediaTek-driven TD platforms.

Today, MediaTek announced the availability of the MT6515, its next generation TD smartphone platform for the sub-RMB 1000 smartphone market. The platform offers a powerful 1GHz ARM CortexTM-A9 processor, 3D hardware, and runs the latest "Ice-Cream Sandwich" Android 4.0 release. Multi-media applications and Internet speed have also been optimized. Additionally, the MT6515 TD-SCDMA offers a complete China Mobile 3G package, thus helping increase the speed in which manufacturers can get their products to end-users.

In the field of WCDMA and 3rd generation wireless standards, MediaTek has continued to build upon its proven track record of offering complete mobile device solutions. Worthy of note is the MT6573, MediaTek's 3.75G smartphone platform released last year. This platform powered the Lenovo A60, China Unicom's top selling handset in the sub?RMB 1000 smartphone category, and an important factor in the uptick of popularity in phones within this market segment.

Building on the success of the MT6573, MediaTek has released the MT6575, which is designed to run on the latest Android driven platforms. The MT6575 offers a 1GHz ARM® CortexTM-A9 processer and runs the latest "Ice-Cream Sandwich" Android 4.0 release. The platform supports dual-SIM solutions, and its web performance, power consumption rates, and multimedia features all meet or exceed industry-leading benchmarks, thus guaranteeing that the MT6575 will deliver a significant uplift in the smoothness of user experience. The MT6575 is currently being incorporated into the latest smartphone offerings by many of MediaTek's leading customers and the first smartphone models based on this new platform will hit the market at the end of this month. 

"Using innovative products to help our customers accurately reflect the needs of the market has always been one of MediaTek's greatest strengths, and we have continued with this tradition of excellence as we expand into the growing smartphone market. MediaTek's innovative chipset technology, with our proven reference design and complete software solution models, will ensure that our customers find a place in the growing mid and entry-level smartphone market of tomorrow where, along with power and functionality, cost effectiveness has become a must-have feature," said Ching-Jiang Hsieh, President of MediaTek.

Exent's GameTanium Mobile(TM) Launches on Android Tablets

Company's Vision of Anytime, Anywhere Game Play One Step Closer to Consumers Worldwide

NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- @ MWC 2012 - Exent's vision of enabling anytime, anywhere game play took another step forward today as the company unveiled the first and only all-you-can-play subscription service for tablets offering unlimited game play of dozens of the hottest games on Android, including Fruit Ninja, Baseball Superstars®, and T-Racer HD.  With this launch, Exent's GameTanium(TM) service will now extend across all of the leading consumer electronics platforms - PCs, smartphones, TVs and tablets.

Coming off a 2011 holiday season that witnessed consumers purchasing tablets at a torrid pace, the recent exponential growth in sales promises to spur the consumption of games, which numerous studies indicate are the number one activity on tablet devices.  GameTanium Mobile capitalizes on this new demand by providing consumers an easy one-stop shop for filling up their tablets with only the latest and best graphically rich games available on the market.  With mobile game play continuing its dramatic growth curve, GameTanium now offers operators the ability to leverage Exent's world leading Games on Demand service on the two mobile platforms their consumers want most.

TechMag Protects Its Servers With VASCO's Strong Authentication

Generation of dynamic passwords ensures secure access to the distributor's workstations, LAN and corporate database

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. and ZURICH, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (Nasdaq: VDSI) (http://www.vasco.com), a leading software security company specializing in authentication products, announces today that TechMag (http://www.techmag.com.br), distributor of VASCO's solutions in Brazil, has rolled out VASCO's DIGIPASS technology to secure its infrastructure. To protect access to its local network and also to its database through strong authentication, TechMag chose to merge the use of two products of VASCO's extensive product line: DIGIPASS GO 3 and DIGIPASS for Mobile 3.0, VASCO's authentication solution for mobile platforms.

"Our commercial department employees use these devices to log on to Windows from their workstations, to access our local network, our VPN (virtual private network) and the business-critical information available in our database. The implementation of DIGIPASS into our corporate environment added an additional security layer by replacing fragile static passwords with dynamic one-time passwords (OTPs)," explains Daniela Gianconi, director of TechMag.

DIGIPASS GO 3 generates a single-use secure password at the touch of a button. For each new operation, the device generates a new password, preventing its interception by fraudsters and increasing the system security exponentially.

DIGIPASS for Mobile 3.0 is a software solution that delivers strong authentication using a mobile device. The technology leverages existing mobile platforms and eliminates the need of using additional hardware or software by end-users. It is independent of chip and is installed directly on the phone, eliminating the limitations of telephone provider coverage.

The deployment process, which went smoothly and was conducted in just one afternoon, avoided investments in end-user training. "The Brazilian corporate market is still not fully aware of the need to protect and control access to internal data. Proof is the widespread use of static passwords which are much more vulnerable and feed the growing number of attacks and information theft within organizations," says Daniela Gianconi.

According to the Center of Studies, Response and Treatment of Security Incidents in Brazil (CERT.br), notifications related to fraud attempts in 2011 showed an increase of 3% over the second quarter and an increase of 35% compared the same period in 2010. Since then attacks on web servers grew 85% over the previous quarter and more than doubled over the same period last year.

Besides ensuring that its corporate network and its database can be accessed only by authorized persons, the director of TechMag mentions another benefit provided by the solution: it can be expanded in modular fashion and grows with the company's needs. "We currently have a universe of 15 users, but this quarter we will expand the use of authentication devices also to our management system (ERP) and DIGIPASS will be then used by all our employees," concludes Daniela Gianconi.

"We are very pleased that one of our leading distributors in Brazil has incorporated VASCO's authentication technology to secure access to its corporate network, VPN and workstations," said Jan Valcke, President and COO of VASCO Data Security. "It is a vote of confidence that VASCO offers best-of-breed authentication solutions for network and data protection."

About TechMag

TechMag is specialized in selling security solutions, biometrics, data capture and auto attendant. With an integrated network of more than 220 dealers and 1,200 software houses throughout Brazil, the distributor has among its clients companies such as Bancob, BonusCred, Etna, Fleury Laboratories, Grupo Algar, GV, intermediate, Porto Seguro, Orizon, Tecban, Unimed, Unibanco and Vivara.

CEM4Mobile Releases Real-time Analytics for Service Monitoring

    CEM4Mobile Solutions, the provider of innovative Customer Experience Management (CEM)
solutions and services for Mobile Operators and Service Providers, today announced the
release of Real-time Analytics for Service Monitoring. The product extension, enables the
analysis and reporting of Quality of Experience (QoE) in real-time for selected services
and user-segments in the operator's network.

    The CEM4Mobile product extension can be utilized to measure end-to-end quality of
experience (QoE)such as longer than normal connection or response times, device,
application and service related errors or delays for specific user-segments or selected
services. Exploding data usage has made real-time analytics and service monitoring
business critical because Network Management systems are unable to measure end-to-end
transactions and detect low QoE. The real-time element can support instant alerts to
reflect performance changes throughout the day enabling operators to make better business
decisions faster with premium services and important user segments. Equally the extension
can be used for automatically reacting to QoE alerts within the time span of a customer
transaction through integration with a Policy Control system.

    The use cases with real-time analytics are plenty, and will provide real tools to
shift the focus onto service-user interactions rather than only looking back at QoE
degradation that has already occurred.Real-time analytics used as complementary to
traditional Customer Experience Management reporting will add a new dimension to proactive
analysis, customer retention and churn prevention.

    CEM4Mobile as a solution

    CEM4Mobile for Mobile Operators is a mobile Analytics and Customer Experience
Management (CEM) solution particularly designed to fill Mobile Operators need to
understand end-user wireless device usage, optimise their customer dialogue and maximise
the number of satisfied, loyal customers and brand advocates.

    The measurement and analysis focus is on interaction, experience and engagement, which
directly impacts subscriber retention, profitability and lifetime value.The analysis
extends to usage patterns, service ranking, market trends and particularly how different
device, contract, content and user demographic combinations impact the behaviour.

    In network centric tracking, CEM4Mobile analyzes content services accessed from
end-user devices through the cellular network. Typically, at least the following services
are captured into CEM4Mobile Analytics:

   
    - Browsing services: web/mobile sites, search engines, social networks
    - Mobile application stores: Apple store, Android Market, Nokia, Samsung Apps,
      Windows marketplace
    - Email, Webmail
    - Instant Messaging
    - Audio/Video streaming
    - Live games
    - Etc.

    Actual network traffic capturing covers IP protocols related to these services, for
example GTP, HTTP(S), WSP, TCP, UDP and many more. In addition to the network centric data
collection solution supports direct data collection from browsing sites, applications and
end-users (Voice-of-Customer).

    By default, the system automatically detects the major global services such as Google
services, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Skype, eBay and Application Stores.

    The new release will be available for full-scale commercial deployments in the third
quarter of 2012.
