Credit Sesame Launches the Industry's First Interactive Visual Mortgage Comparison Tool

Mortgage Value Map analyzes the financial impact of top loan options, quickly and visually enabling consumers to better understand their options

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, CreditSesame.com, the popular personal finance and credit education resource site, announced the launch of its interactive mortgage comparison and visualization tool designed to help consumers quickly and easily identify their best loan options visually.

Comparing mortgage loans can be an overwhelming task. With multivariable options at play--such as mortgage types, rates, APRs, closing costs, points, fees and different amortization schedules--it is often difficult to answer simple questions--e.g., which loan could cost you the least, or which loan may save you the most money in refinance.  Credit Sesame's Mortgage Value Map is a sophisticated tool that simplifies the complex task of comparing mortgage loan options and, for the first time, clearly displays how various loan options from top national mortgage providers compare and could impact your finances.

"If we had this map before the mortgage crisis, many people would have been able to make smarter decisions and evaluate the potential risk and rewards of their choices much more clearly," said Credit Sesame founder and CEO, Adrian Nazari.

Whether looking to refinance or purchase a new home, the Credit Sesame interactive mortgage comparison map lets you instantly analyze today's mortgage rates and visually compare top loan offers.  Users benefit from having access to custom rate quotes from top national lenders and visual analytics to evaluate which options may cost you the least, or save you the most money over the life of the loan.

Credit Sesame's visual mortgage comparison tool lets you...

    --  Anonymously shop products, rates and fees brought to you by national
        lenders in real time
    --  Quickly analyze the multivariable options (mortgage type, rate, APR,
        monthly payment, closing costs and fees) that impact the total cost of
        your loan
    --  Rank and compare loans using your preferences and unbiased financial
        analysis
    --  Save time and money and stay in the know at a glance as the market
        changes
Credit Sesame's patent-pending mortgage analytics was developed by Stanford University scientists and vetted by members of the top 10 banks.  The mortgage visualization tool is the latest innovation from Credit Sesame, whose mission is to make the complicated world of personal finance simple for consumers.  The company gives consumers free access to bank-level analytics to give them an edge on leveraging their credit and loans to make smarter decisions in their financial lives.

Siemens Healthcare Unveils Two Cloud-based Solutions to Optimize Image Management and Radiology Workflow

Cloud-based vendor-neutral archive, enabled by a first of its kind alliance with Dell, can help customers manage rapidly expanding image archives and achieve sustainable growth.

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Siemens Healthcare (NYSE: SI), has announced two new solutions for image management and radiology workflow that will be hosted from the Siemens Healthcare Cloud Computing Center (HCCC), in Malvern, Pa. In a first of its kind strategic alliance with Dell, Round Rock, Texas, Siemens will deliver a cloud-based vendor-agnostic Image Sharing & Archiving (ISA(1)) solution. The ISA offering will be primarily hosted out of Siemens HCCC, using Dell's clinical data management software. Additionally, Siemens and Dell will securely federate their respective healthcare clouds, providing customers an additional form of redundancy for this key clinical content. The solution will help healthcare providers reduce the ongoing capital expenditure of maintaining on-site image archives. Additionally, Siemens is announcing a new implementation approach for its proven syngo Workflow radiology information system (RIS), which can be completely hosted from Siemens HCCC.(2) These solutions will be presented in Siemens booth #2423 at the Healthcare Information & Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2012 Annual Conference and Exposition at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, from February 20-24.

With Siemens ISA, healthcare organizations can reduce ongoing capital expenditure that is typically incurred from the maintenance of local, on-site image archiving hardware. Modern imaging modalities generate tremendous volumes of data that can quickly outpace the growth rate of on-site storage. ISA provides the scalability to dynamically change in accordance with a facility's needs, and peace of mind with an efficient disaster recovery strategy. Additionally, the ISA solution stores imaging content in a vendor-neutral format, enabling imaging department administrators to realize a simpler data migration plan when switching to a different picture archiving and communications system (PACS) solution. Finally, the offering enables hospitals to share imaging data across specialties and departments in the enterprise - putting the images in the hands of referring physicians faster. Customers who choose the ISA solution can begin using their vendor neutral archive within three to six months of signing.

"Imaging departments face significant cost pressures and, as a result, administration must look for ways to optimize productivity while, at the same time, lower the cost of maintaining imaging archives. By turning to Siemens and Dell for these solutions, administrators can switch from being system 'maintainers' to system 'optimizers,'" said Kurt Reiff, vice president, business management, SYNGO Americas. "Helping our customers improve their value-add in the healthcare chain, achieve greater flexibility, and drive sustainable growth, are all goals of Siemens Agenda 2013 initiative, which exemplifies our commitment to help customers address the challenges of today's market."

The ISA solution is able to address the increased demand that is placed on all medical imaging specialties. As procedure volume grows in other disciplines such as cardiology, pathology and endoscopy, Siemens and Dell will provide this standards-based service to meet their needs today and tomorrow. The Siemens HCCC has been in operation more than 40 years and offers a safe, secure data center environment. The Siemens HCCC processes more than 200 million transactions per day and hosts more than 500,000 end-user devices. Dell's Unified Clinical Archive solution is also built on a long pedigree of secure, private, healthcare cloud delivery. Dell manages more than 68 million clinical studies, more than 4.7 billion diagnostic imaging objects, and supports more than 800 clinical sites in one of the world's largest cloud-based clinical archives.

"Siemens and Dell bring years of cloud computing experience to help customers solve their data management and archiving challenges while facilitating collaboration across specialties, departments and geographic boundaries," said James Coffin, PhD, Vice President and General Manager, Dell Healthcare and Life Sciences. "It's critical that every diagnostic image for a patient is available to multiple clinicians at the point of care. With this first-of-its-kind alliance, we are providing solutions that facilitate easy data retrieval and secure data sharing while simplifying IT management and maintenance for the long term."

RIS in the cloud
At HIMSS 2012, Siemens will also unveil a new approach to delivering and maintaining its syngo Workflow RIS. Siemens will again turn to its private, medical-grade HCCC and its Managed Services IT Solutions and Consulting business to help customers better predict costs and reduce capital expenditures associated with maintaining a RIS. As such, private cloud solution for syngo Workflow provides a more predictable cost environment -- particularly for hospitals already hosting other elements of their health information technology solution through the HCCC.

Because Siemens is maintaining all RIS functionality in the HCCC, the company will also be able to utilize the solutions to provide valuable national benchmark metrics accumulated from syngo Workflow users. This assessment will be provided annually to customers. These business analytics could help customers better understand how their organization is currently using syngo Workflow, identifying ways to make improvements through an examination of the current software configuration.

"Radiology practices already invest in software that helps them mine their own data to look at key performance indicators -- to judge their output -- but oftentimes the lens is solely focused on the practice, with only a vague national benchmark for comparison, and no clear strategy for ways to optimize the workflow solution that is currently in use," said Reiff. "Siemens has the opportunity to provide customers with a direct comparison, using completely de-identified information that demonstrates how they track today versus practices that are using nearly the same configuration. We can also present them with a clear strategy to achieve even stronger results."

(1)  Image Sharing & Archiving is only available in the United States.

(2)  The private cloud deployment for syngo Workflow requires VA31A Service Pack 1 (SP1). This offering is only available to U.S. based customers. syngo Workflow private cloud solution is only available in the United States.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020701/SFM066LOGO)

"Today marks a historic day for the PlayStation brand and our fans," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment America.  "PlayStation Vita is the most powerful and connected portable gaming system ever created.  For the first time ever, consumers will find compelling PS3(TM) console-like gameplay experiences on-the-go from the most popular PlayStation franchises as well as titles unique to PS Vita, while staying connected with their favorite entertainment and social networking applications through 3G and Wi-Fi support."

PS Vita is available at major retailers for $249.99 (MSRP) for the Wi-Fi model and $299.99 (MSRP) for the 3G/Wi-Fi model. Both models will include six Augmented Reality (AR) Play Cards along with a voucher to download three augmented reality games from PlayStation®Network.

AT&T is the exclusive U.S. wireless carrier for PS Vita and customers have the option to activate 3G data plans directly from their PS Vita.  AT&T is offering three data plans, a $14.99 plan featuring 250MB of data, a $30 plan with 3GB and a $50 plan with 5GB.  All three plans will be session-based, and will not require a long term contract, which benefits consumers by providing them with flexibility. The high speeds and broad coverage of AT&T's mobile broadband network means that PS Vita owners will remain connected to their content and interact with the world around them, including their friends and other PS Vita owners. The 3G/Wi-Fi model allows users to game at the speed of their mobile lifestyle, including asynchronous/turn-based multiplayer gameplay, digital gifting, instantly updated rankings and leaderboards, immediate access to the latest downloadable add-on content*, and real-time access to trophies, friends, web browsing, and apps such as 'near'.  PS Vita customers with an AT&T data plan will also have free access at more than 29,000 AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots nationwide.

        music, and photos between your PS Vita and their PS3 or a PC or a Mac.

        sharing by checking in at geographic locations.
    --  The Party application will enable cross game chat which allows PS Vita
        users to communicate with up to eight friends through text or voice
        chat, regardless of what games they're playing.  They can bookmark their
        favorite parties to reconnect later with friends and or join existing
        parties to see what other users are talking about.
    --  Remote Play gives consumers the ability to access content stored on
        their PS3 such as personal photos, music, and videos.  In the future, PS
        Vita owners can look forward to utilizing the remote play feature as a
        way to control compatible software game titles as well.
    --  With cross-platform gameplay and compatible software titles, players can
        start a game on their PS3, pause the game, and then resume the game
        right where they left off using their PS Vita.  Consumers can also join
        multiplayer games on their PS Vita and play against friends on their PS3
        consoles.

The ClearPad 2200 uses advanced filtering and noise mitigation algorithms that interface with a wider range of noisy components, such as chargers and displays, while being flexible enough to support various sensor and sensor-on-lens stack-ups.  ClearPad 2200's advanced touch controller improves tracking accuracy and finger separation, and provides robust environmental and electrical noise immunity for an unmatched user experience.  ClearPad 2200 leverages Synaptics Design Studio(TM)4 (DS4), the ClearPad development solution embedded with patented SignalClarity(TM) Technology.  Synaptics DS4 offers the most advanced and comprehensive touch system tools in the market and accelerates the ClearPad development cycle. It empowers customers to design, evaluate and optimize the touch experience and performance, while streamlining the implementation of their custom ClearPad sensor solution.

Aprimo Enhances Campaign Management With Strategic Data From Third-Party Databases

Marketers can now create turn-key segmentations for better decisions and improved targeting

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aprimo®, a global leader in cloud-based integrated marketing software, today announced a powerful new Campaign Management feature for Aprimo® Relationship Manager. The new Extended Data Source (xDS) allows users to pull information from other databases into a Teradata Database, and then easily integrate it into their marketing campaigns. Using a simple drag-and-drop interface, marketers can now instantly utilize data from service desks, inbound and outbound call centers and other transactional systems that use third-party databases.  xDS extends the information that can be leveraged to power campaigns, providing turn-key segmentation, and enabling better marketing decisions.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110711/CL32782LOGO )

"Aprimo is committed to continuing to enhance our Campaign Management solutions and xDS is another step on the journey to help our customers leverage strategic data to create effective integrated marketing campaigns," said Gonzalo Hidalgo, Aprimo's Vice President of Product Strategy. "Let's say marketing wants to include information from the call center in event-based upsell campaigns. In the past they would have had to work through IT to obtain this data and integrate it. With xDS, they can now import, access and analyze the data and decide how to segment the campaign at the click of a button, saving time and ultimately making the campaign more nimble and successful."

A key advantage of xDS is that it empowers marketers to integrate multiple data streams into their campaigns without having to call on IT each time--enabling turn-key segmentation by incorporating all the information stored in the database into campaigns without any additional configurations. Once a customer has used the pre-packaged system to create an xDS asset, he or she can add to, copy, modify or reuse that data in any number of future campaigns. xDS allows marketers to leverage the horsepower of Teradata to drive decision management for their campaigns--across all their data sets.

The xDS enhancement will be unveiled at next week's Aprimo 2012 Marketing Summit (#AMS12), in Las Vegas, where customers will have the opportunity to learn more about Campaign Management and other Aprimo Integrated Marketing Management solutions.

Panda Security and Microsoft Join Forces to Develop Cloud-based Antivirus Security Services on Windows Azure

New beta version of Panda Cloud Office Protection 6.0 hosted in cloud-based Windows Azure

ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Panda Security, The Cloud Security Company, and Microsoft have signed a collaboration agreement to develop cloud-based antivirus security services on Windows Azure. Panda Cloud Office Protection 6.0 is a cloud-based security service for PCs, servers and corporate laptops managed remotely from anywhere through its Web-based console. A new version will be hosted in Windows Azure, a cloud platform designed to host, scale and manage Web applications. Windows Azure uses a set of privacy and security controls that ensure maximum protection of its hosted data and applications. The free beta of Panda Cloud Office Protection is now available for download at http://www.pandasecurity.com/promotions/betatest/pcop.

Panda Security is migrating its new solution to Windows Azure to enable management of an even larger number of computers, effectively deploying the service to new countries and preventing service downtime. Windows Azure has provided an adequate work environment and let the company maintain most of the technologies used in the original platform.

The main benefits offered by Windows Azure to Panda Security are:

    --  Greatly reduces the time required to deploy a new product version
    --  Reduces operating and maintenance costs by up to 30 percent
    --  Improves certification and quality assurance processes, as it enables
        technicians to carry out tests in an environment equal to the production
        environment
    --  Improves user-perceived application performance
The major components of the Windows Azure platform are the following:

    --  Windows Azure is a development, service hosting and service management
        environment that provides developers with on-demand compute and storage
        to host, scale and manage Web applications on the Internet through
        Microsoft data centers.
    --  Microsoft SQL Azure is a cloud-based relational database service built
        on SQL Server 2008 technologies.
"The agreement with Microsoft has increased our management capabilities. It has provided us with virtually unlimited IT infrastructure and enhanced our dynamic adjustment capabilities," said Pedro Bustamante, Senior Research Advisor at Panda Security.

New Secure64 Product Simplifies, Centralizes DNS Management

Secure64 DNS Manager Configures, Manages and Monitors an Organization's DNS Servers from a Single Application

DENVER, Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Secure64 Software Corporation has expanded its award-winning suite of secure, high-performance Domain Name Server (DNS) solutions with Secure64 DNS Manager, the company's first server management software product designed to help communication service providers (CSPs) configure, manage and monitor their DNS servers in a centralized way.

"Secure64 DNS Manager fills an important need for service providers that want to reduce the costs and headaches related to DNS servers, particularly for organizations that have numerous DNS servers spread out across multiple geographic areas. Secure64 DNS Manager centralizes DNS management into a simple-to-use tool that enables network engineers to upgrade software, configure servers, monitor performance and access real-time reporting all from a single place," said Steve Goodbarn, CEO of Secure64. "It does all of that while lowering operational costs and eliminating common human errors that occur with DNS management."

Secure64 DNS Manager lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) on caching infrastructure by reducing the amount of time required to keep server and configurations up-to-date, and by decreasing the possibility of human errors, such as forgetting to update a server or uploading the wrong configuration. In addition to lowering TCO, Secure64 DNS Manager allows customers to control their servers and secure their data inside their own network, avoiding the risks inherent in an outsourced alternative.

Secure64 DNS Manager enables CSPs to:

    --  Update and roll back software versions globally from a central location
    --  Revise configurations and easily track/control server updates
    --  Monitor critical operating parameters in real-time
    --  Gain instant visibility into query activity for capacity and usage
        trending
    --  Manage global DNS infrastructure via a simple, browser-based graphical
        user interface
Secure64 DNS Manager, in its first release, is available to enhance the use of Secure64's popular and award-winning caching software appliance, Secure64 DNS Cache. Secure64 DNS Cache is a caching software appliance that provides the highest level of security, Denial of Service (DDoS) resistance, and performance for communication and cloud service providers. Secure64 provides carriers with easy to use "genetic diversity" in their DNS by running on a different architecture than all other DNS servers. Over 80 percent of the world's DNS servers rely on the same open source DNS, creating the potential for a global Internet meltdown in the event of a sophisticated attack or virus. Secure64 DNS Cache was recently named Best New Application of 2011 at the annual Mission-Critical Innovations Awards in Vienna Austria.

Secure64 DNS Manager is available immediately from Secure64. For more information, visit http://www.secure64.com.

About Secure64 Software Corporation

Headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, Secure64 is a software developer providing the most secure DNS products available to its customers in the government and communications industry. Secure64's patented technology provides mission-critical security and reliability with high throughput and low latency. It has been shown to be immune to compromise from rootkits and malware and resistant to denial of service and other network attacks. The company offers a suite of trusted and secure DNS software appliances for caching, signing and authoritative use. Secure64's products are sold and serviced worldwide through Hewlett-Packard and their reseller network and directly by Secure64. For more information, visit http://www.secure64.com.

Bitdefender Integrates with VMware vShield 5 Endpoint

Security for Virtualized Environments provides new approach to address growing market demand

BUCHAREST, Romania, Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitdefender, an award-winning provider of innovative security solutions, announced today theintegration of VMware vShield 5 Endpoint and Security for Virtualized Environments.  The combined technologies give customers de-duplication capabilities of antimalware functions, using a series of proprietary cache mechanisms, which greatly improves consolidation ratios in VMware environments.   

Until now, organizations have been forced to take traditional security approaches to protecting virtual environments, which created high operating costs and significant performance bottlenecks. The new approach to security saves resources and maximizes consolidation ratios in virtualized datacenters without sacrificing security.

"We congratulate Bitdefender for meeting all VMware requirements for complete integration with VMware vShield 5 Endpoint(TM) security technologies," said Parag Patel, Vice President, Global Strategic Alliances, VMware. "The combined virtualization and security expertise of VMware and Bitdefender will deliver on-going value to our customers by offloading key antimalware functions to a security virtual machine for improved performance."

"Given the complexity and growth of virtualized environments, traditional endpoint security approaches are highly inefficient, lacking in scalability and quickly proving to be ineffective," said Bogdan Dumitru, CTO, Bitdefender. "Working with industry leaders in virtualization, our security solutions leverage technologies like VMware vShield to optimize performance and ensure that enterprises protect their valuable data, while reducing financial and operational burdens associated with other security approaches."

With Security for Virtualized Environments by Bitdefender, VMware customers have significant advantages such as centralized scanning and management capabilities in a single-instance or agentless security model.  In addition, the combined VMware and Bitdefender technologies extend protection offered to guest VMs, by adding memory and process scanning using the lightweight in-guest Bitdefender Silent Agent with patent-pending caching technologies, saving crucial resources of any physical hosts. Unlike other solutions, Security for Virtualized Environments by Bitdefender also simultaneously protects virtualized Windows, Linux and Solaris systems - both servers and desktops.

About Bitdefender
Bitdefender consistently creates number-one-ranked and award-winning security solutions. Since 2001, Bitdefender has continuously raised the bar in security. From individuals to the largest enterprises, Bitdefender innovations foster confidence, and the freedom to conduct business, by defending data and brand integrity. Today, Bitdefender technology secures the digital experience of around 400 million home and corporate users across the globe.

GHX Launches Connect 2 Customers, Enabling Healthcare Suppliers to Manage Consigned Inventory from Any Mobile Device

Suppliers leverage Web-based solution to improve efficiency, reduce loss and waste, and facilitate regulatory compliance for consigned products

LOUISVILLE, Colo., Feb. 22, 2012  /PRNewswire/ -- Healthcare suppliers now have greater flexibility in managing high-dollar consigned inventory using GHX Connect 2 Customers, a Web-based solution that suppliers can access from any mobile device to automate order and inventory management. Connect 2 Customers streamlines processes and provides real-time visibility into the consignment product sales cycle, enabling suppliers to increase sales force productivity, help optimize field inventory, enhance customer satisfaction and improve financial performance. Connect 2 Customers complements the recent announcement by GHX that the company is expanding into the implantable device market.

For healthcare suppliers, managing consigned inventory at provider sites and in the possession of field sales representatives is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. Much of the consigned order process requires manual tasks, such as submitting orders via phone and fax, manually counting inventory and engaging with customer service to help ensure products are available for clinicians when they need them.

Lack of visibility into consigned products in the field increases costs and decreases revenue by as much as 5 percent of a supplier's total sales revenue due to labor, excess and lost inventory, expired products and un-invoiced purchase orders, which in turn can jeopardize both customer relationships and patient safety. Suppliers also run the risk of non-compliance with government regulations when unable to quickly locate products in the field in the event of a recall.

With GHX Connect 2 Customers, a supplier can manage its consignment sales and inventory business processes electronically via a Web-based solution that integrates with its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and is accessed through a certified browser regardless of the hardware employed (e.g. smart phone, tablet computer, laptop computer). The real-time access and visibility into product ordering and inventory management provided by the GHX Connect 2 Customers platform help enable suppliers to streamline operations, reduce waste, better meet customer needs and comply with regulations.

GHX Connect 2 Customers is the latest generation of GHX Mobile Solutions, building upon the company's comprehensive set of applications for order, inventory and field account management. Existing GHX customers can leverage their connectivity with the GHX exchange to provide field representatives with critical data on customer order and invoice status through the GHX Connect 2 Customers platform. Connect 2 Customers enables supplier sales representatives to efficiently:

    --  Track and manage field inventory such as consignment, loaner, samples
        and trunk stock
    --  Schedule, perform, track and manage field inventory audits
    --  Manage and submit field orders electronically
    --  Manage surgery schedules to support patient procedures
    --  Request products and kits for upcoming cases to meet customer needs
    --  Manage customer account data, contacts, product contract pricing, call
        notes and other account information
"Healthcare is becoming increasingly mobile with suppliers and providers using handheld devices to enhance efficiency in business operations and across areas of care," said Derek Smith, executive vice president, Marketing and Product Management, GHX. "The GHX Connect 2 Customers solution combines our cloud-based infrastructure with handheld devices sales teams are already using to provide suppliers with immediate access to critical information they can use to increase their business performance, reduce inventory loss and better meet the needs of providers and the customers they serve."

About GHX

Global Healthcare Exchange, LLC (GHX), a healthcare technology and services company, helps reduce the cost of doing business in healthcare by enabling better supply chain management. GHX makes it easier for hospitals, other healthcare providers and the suppliers that do business with them to drive cost and inefficiency out of their processes. Working with GHX, the healthcare organizations that make up the GHX Global Network are on track to save $5 billion by 2014--savings that can be invested in such things as hiring more nurses, providing care to uninsured children or developing new medical products.

LandAirSea Announces Price-cuts On Two Of Its Most Popular Passive GPS Trackers

New Pricing on GPS Tracking Key and Tracking Key Pro

CHICAGO, Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LandAirSea Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer and developer of GPS tracking devices since 1994, has announced that they have cut prices on their most popular passive GPS tracking devices.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/54787-landairsea-new-pricing-on-gps-tracking-key-and-tracking-key-pro

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120222/MM56577)

Effective as of February 1, 2012, the price of the GPS Tracking Key and Tracking Key Pro has been permanently reduced. The price of the GPS Tracking Key has been reduced to $179.00 from $229.00 and the GPS Tracking Key Pro has been reduced to $249.00 from $299.00.

About the GPS Tracking Key Platform

The classic GPS Tracking Key is LandAirSea System's best-selling passive GPS tracker. This ultra-compact and portable GPS data logger has the ability to determine the precise GPS location within 2.5 meters of the device, and records detailed travel activities every second.

The information gathered by the GPS tracker includes travel path, rates of speed and the amount of time stopped at any given location. The tracking data can be viewed by retrieving the device and connecting it to a PC with the installed Past-Track software, or online through Google Earth. Detailed driving reports and animated historical playback can also be generated with the installed software.

Here are some of the features offered by the GPS Tracking Key:

    --  Battery life: up to 2 weeks of active driving time
    --  Powered by 2 AAA batteries
    --  Stores up to 140 hours of data
    --  Strong magnet mount
    --  High strength magnet mount and is water resistant
    --  Auto-Sleep mode puts device into sleep mode if the vehicle is not in
        motion
    --  One year warranty
    --  No monthly fees
    --  Works internationally
The next generation GPS Tracking Key Pro has all the features offered by the Tracking Key, but with a convenient on/off switch to help conserve battery life when not in use. It also offers up to four weeks of active driving time, twice the time offered by the original Tracking Key, as well as the ability to function with virtually unlimited power through an optional hardwire kit.

By 2008, sales from the GPS Tracking Key catapulted LandAirSea to the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing companies in the United States, ranking #3 in the Computer & Electronics category and #341 overall in 2008. The GPS Tracking Key Pro was also featured in the February 2011 issue of Car & Driver Magazine as a premier passive GPS tracker, receiving an 8 out of 10 rating from the editors who reviewed the product.

To date, LandAirSea Systems has sold over 75,000 GPS Tracking Key and Tracking Key Pro units since 2006.

LandAirSea's Real-Time GPS Tracking System

Along with its passive GPS trackers, LandAirSea Systems has recently launched its flagship real-time GPS tracking system, the SilverCloud.

The SilverCloud system has been designed to provide a high level of accuracy and reliability. The user-friendly online mapping interface, powered by Google Maps, along with the innovative technological features offered by the SilverCloud platform, such as the ShareSpot option, makes it an ideal choice for fleet management services, law enforcement agencies and even concerned parents with teenage drivers.

LandAirSea Systems also offers the Plus Protection Plan, which extends the warranty to two years on a GPS tracking device purchased from LandAirSea Systems. The Plus Protection Plan not only covers manufacturer defects, it also covers:

    --  Accidental/incidental damages involving cosmetic repairs or water damage
    --  Internal hardware malfunctions
    --  If necessary, a complete replacement of the device
    --  And lost or stolen devices
All of the GPS tracking systems from LandAirSea have been designed and manufactured with precision, simplicity and durability. Offering portability and covert placement when necessary, the SilverCloud, GPS Tracking Key and Tracking Key Pro can be utilized for various application requirements such as fleet management, law enforcement and personal vehicle tracking.

For more information on the complete line of passive and real-time GPS tracking devices offered by LandAirSea Systems, or to purchase a GPS Tracking Keys or Tracking Key Pro, visit their website or email them at sales@landairsea.com.

Quantance CEO to Present Game-Changing Envelope Tracking Power Supply Technology at MIPI® Alliance Booth during Mobile World Congress

February 29 Presentation to Focus on Innovative New Product That Dramatically Enhances 4G/LTE Performance for Baseband/Transceiver Chipset Providers and Device Manufacturers

SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantance Inc., manufacturer of ultra-fast, 4G/LTE envelope tracking (ET) power supplies, today announced that its CEO and Co-Founder Vikas Vinayak will be a presenter at the MIPI Alliance forum during the Mobile World Congress on Wednesday, February 29, 2012, from 13:00-14:00 CET. The MIPI Alliance booth is located at App Planet (Hall7) - 7H10.

Vinayak will discuss Quantance's latest product, the Q845 ET power supply, which was announced last month. Featuring Quantance's qBoost(TM) technology, the Q845 provides the power amplifier (PA) efficiency benefits required for all the latest mobile device designs. It also offers an innovative, highly efficient, instantaneous boosting capability that significantly increases 3G and 4G/LTE PA peak transmit power, which dramatically improves the high-speed data performance in tablets, smartphones, mobile hot spots, data cards and other high-speed mobile devices.

The Q845 - a small, single-chip product - is the third-generation implementation of the company's qBoost(TM) technology, which provides the response time equivalent of a 400MHz switcher for ET systems and is over 100 times faster than any other mobile ET power supply solution available today. This ultra-fast performance, along with a more streamlined architecture and a tiny chip footprint, sets a new industry standard for size, cost and integration simplicity.

Quantance is an active participant and contributing member within the MIPI Alliance to help drive the formal standardization of ET specifications for the interface to the power supply, including both the ET analog interface (the "ET Subgroup," which MIPI announced November, 2011) and digital control interface ("RFFE V1.10," which MIPI announced January, 2012).  The Q845 plans compatibility with upcoming standards-based ET control and envelope interfaces, which will enable the Q845 to be openly and seamlessly integrated into any 4G/LTE baseband and transceiver chipset platform targeted for use in mobile high-speed data devices.

The need for effective ET solutions in chipset reference designs has grown dramatically in the past year, in direct relation to the explosive growth in high-speed data and the mass-market deployment of LTE devices.  ET solutions provide the 4G/LTE PA efficiency and transmit power improvements critical to ensure LTE performance, and many chipset providers are already planning to integrate ET solutions in their latest platforms.

About Quantance
Quantance, a venture-backed semiconductor startup based in Silicon Valley, was founded to build the industry's fastest power supplies. Investors include TD Fund, Granite Ventures, InterWest Partners and DoCoMo Capital. For more information, please visit http://www.quantance.com.

CeBIT 2012: Test Gigabit Ethernet, ADSL, VDSL and SHDSL Now With Just one Device

LUEDENSCHEID, Germany, February 22, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    CeBIT 2012

    06.-10.03.2012

    Hall 13, booth D58

    The new ARGUS 165 xDSL + GigE combi tester from intec is the first test device that
can simultaneously test all important broadband interfaces using copper and fiber

    Luedenscheid, March 2012 - with the ARGUS 165, intec will present the latest
generation of combi testers at this year's CeBIT: The xDSL + GigE combi tester not only
combines all standard broadband interfaces (ADSL, VDSL, SHDSL) with comprehensive Triple
Play test functions - it also has a fixed 1000Base-T (RJ45) and two variable copper or
fiber GigE interfaces using SFP slots. Triple Play or performance tests can, for example,
be carried out directly on GPON modems or GigE switches. All interfaces and functions are
integrated in a compact universal device in order to ensure fast start-up and switching
times - and all without having to change modules.

    In combination with the abovementioned xDSL interfaces, the ARGUS 165 offers the
option of being able to use two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces simultaneously (Dual GigE). It
is therefore not necessary to use another device for end-to-end tests. Using a loop
function and a traffic generator, the user can analyze the capacity of Ethernet cables or
devices at full performance (1 Gbit/s). Ethernet cabling tests and throughput tests in
accordance with RFC 2544 will be also possible in this way.

    For HTTP and FTP downloads the interfaces can even reach speeds of up to 200 Mbit/s.

    With its Triple Play test functions, the ARGUS 165 can also test VoIP, IPTV and data
services via xDSL and Gigabit Ethernet. IP tests can also be performed via the new more
powerful IPv6 protocol. Using the line monitor and the optional Active Probe II,
high-ohmic measurements are even possible without interference on an existing DSL
connection.

    In addition to the ARGUS 165, intec will also be presenting further current models
from the ARGUS range, such as the ARGUS 145 plus. The handheld tester and analyzer
combines the following interfaces: VDSL2 (all profiles), ADSL (Annex A, B, J, L, M) as
well as SHDSL (2-, 4-, 8-wire), ISDN PRI/E1/BRI S/T/U and POTS and many other new
functions and is now also available with a Gigabit Ethernet interface, if desired.

    The intec experts will be available at CeBIT (hall 13, booth D58) to demonstrate
devices and answer questions.

    About intec Gesellschaft fuer Informationstechnik mbH

    With more than 20 years of experience, intec GmbH is one of the leading suppliers of
xDSL, ISDN and IP measurement technology in Europe. With the ARGUS range, intec is
offering a convenient setup and troubleshooting solution for xDSL and ISDN connections.
Developed specifically for the needs of people using international network operators,

measuring devices have already been sold. Companies such as Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone,
