ADLINK Technology Announces First Industrial-Grade "Smart Panel" Products

New concept integrates touch-screen LCD with main board to simplify development of panel-based applications

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ADLINK Technology, Inc., a leading manufacturing of industrial computing products, announced the availability of the revolutionary new Smart Panel series of products designed to provide a new "all-in-one" concept to panel computing applications, such as factory automation equipment, transportation systems, multimedia navigation devices, advertising systems, interactive kiosks, and medical care systems. The Smart Panel series of products provides users an embedded human-machine (HMI) where cloud computing is used for the Things of the Internet in both public and private cloud services to enable access to information and services from any location as needed.

Smart Panel products comprise highly-integrated, ultrathin, and flexible designs ready for development. Benefits of this series of products include a quicker time-to-market of your end products, reduced development risks and costs, and simplified material management. This is the first series of products in the marketplace to integrate the CPU, networking capability, and a display into a single panel device. The Smart Panel incorporates the main board and is designed for minimal size and thickness, which gives greater flexibility to the case design of the target application. The Smart Panel completely integrates three key components of a system design: a high-brightness LCD panel, a touch screen, and a main board. This allows designers to focus on the I/O board design needed for their application. Use of the Smart Panel not only reduces design risks, but also cuts system development time by at least half.

The 8 in. model Smart Panel offers a screen brightness of up to 800 cd/m2 (compared to 250 - 300 cd/m2 commonly found in the LCD panels available in the marketplace) to ensure a clear image both indoors and outside under direct sunlight. The high-resolution, full-color interface makes it much easier for users to use the device to gather data and display images, reports, and text for viewing through simple operations. The integrated touch-screen feature is provided in response to recent market trends and also eliminates the need for system integrators to worry about cleanliness requirements between the LCD panel and touch screen if they were to apply their own. The high-brightness Smart Panel provides resistive or capacitive touch-panel options for greatest flexibility with different system designs. All of these features are provided in a modular design of less than 2 cm to further extend the flexibility offered to designers for their industrial-grade panel computers.

Most tablet computers already include the LCD and CPU panel in the case, for which physically larger designs are unavoidable. For some embedded systems, a new case design is necessary. For these applications, the ultrathin Smart Panel allows greater flexibility in system and case designs so that developers are able to easily provide customized solutions and platforms for high-quality devices with minimal resources. ADLINK also provides system customization services to enable our customers to provide a completely customized panel computing system quickly, through co-design and co-development opportunities. ADLINK can also provide standard cases based on application requirements, allowing means for quicker assembly of the Smart Panel and I/O control module into the case.

Current Smart Panel products are offered in x86 and ARM architectures with displays ranging from 5" to 21.5" for a variety of applications. The high-definition display (1920 x 1080) options include aspect ratios of 4:3 and 16:9. Optional Wi-Fi is offered to enable remote monitoring for effective control of factory production status, materials management, and troubleshooting. Enhanced data collection features can be realized through designing the HMI into automated MES and ERP systems. The information can be exported as an Excel spreadsheet where a user can directly view the content remotely. The market response has been enthusiastic and the interest has been extremely high. The industrial-grade high-brightness Smart Panel will be the key to revolutionizing the development of many applications across several industries.

The expansion adds to 15 AT&T 4G LTE markets launched in 2011: Athens, Ga.; Atlanta; Baltimore; Boston; Charlotte; Chicago; Dallas-Fort Worth; Houston; Indianapolis; Kansas City; Las Vegas; Oklahoma City; San Antonio; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Washington, D.C.

"We're building a 4G LTE network that's blazing fast, and we offer dual layers of 4G technologies to provide customers with a more consistent speed experience," said Stankey. "Our network, together with our unsurpassed 4G device portfolio and innovative applications, will give our customers an industry-leading mobile broadband experience." 

AT&T is the only U.S. carrier providing 4G using both HSPA+ and LTE technologies. HSPA+, when combined with enhanced backhaul, provides customers with access to 4G speeds -- meaning AT&T customers get a faster and more consistent 4G experience on their compatible devices, even when outside of a 4G LTE area. Customers of other carriers that have transitioned to 4G LTE without further speed upgrades to their existing networks are likely to see a jarring drop-off in speeds when they move out of LTE coverage.

Another benefit of AT&T's network strategy is that only AT&T's network lets your iPhone 4S download three times faster.

AT&T's mobile broadband service currently covers 284 million people and more than 90 percent of the population, including the top 100 U.S. markets.

AT&T expects its 4G LTE deployment to be largely complete by the end of 2013.

AT&T customers can choose from a growing lineup of 4G LTE-compatible devices, including HTC Vivid, Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, and LG Nitro HD smartphones and HTC Jetstream and Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 tablets.

Limited 4G LTE availability in select markets. 4G speeds delivered by LTE, or HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul, where available. Deployment ongoing. Compatible device and data plan required. LTE is a trademark of ETSI. Learn more at att.com/network.

3X claim based on national average iPhone 4S data speeds on AT&T's network vs. other U.S. networks.

ASCII Provides Turnkey e-newsletter Service for IT Providers to Strengthen Communication with Their Customers

BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The ASCII Group, Inc. (ASCII), the nation's oldest and most established community of solution providers, is now providing IT companies with an e-newsletter service that incorporates hand-selected articles laid out in a professionally designed template. This service provides new content on a monthly basis and the IT company can personalize and brand the newsletter.

ASCII developed this service because many IT providers still lack the marketing resources to fully extend their brand and message into the market. In a recent membership poll, roughly 72% of IT companies believed that the lack of marketing resources was an obstacle to their success in growing their business.

"Like many of my peers, time is a huge obstacle but the ASCII service just takes that element out of the equation," says Frank Ballatore, owner of The New England Computer Group in Danbury, CT. "The newsletter content is proven and the system provides all the reporting I need."

"We continue to help our partner community move forward and marketing is a key area we are focusing on based on member input," stated Jerry Koutavas, President of The ASCII Group. "This new marketing service goes hand in hand with our automated social media service, and much of the reporting we already receive on social media postings helps us select the types of articles that should be incorporated in the monthly newsletter service. As a result we take the guess work out of selecting articles that their customers will find interesting."

In celebration of entering its 29th year of business, the ASCII Group is providing this service without any additional cost to its membership community.   

About The ASCII Group
Since 1984, The ASCII Group has helped solution providers focus more of their time on building their business, not administrating it. The ASCII Group creates programs and services to improve business performance in sales and marketing, vendor management and overall operations. In addition, the member community shares information on satisfaction of products, business strategy and opportunities unique to the industry and the ASCII community.

Wireless Power Consortium and Testronic Labs Announce Qi Interoperability Testing Center

Center Will Ensure Seamless Interoperability for Expanding Number of Qi-Compatible Products

DIEPENBEEK, Belgium, Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Wireless Power Consortium and Testronic Labs, the global leader in quality assurance and localization services for film and television, games, websites, hardware, and software, have announced that Testronic has been selected by the WPC as the Qi (pronounced "chee") interoperability testing center. The interoperability testing center keeps a library of all Qi-certified products and performs functional interoperability tests with these products on behalf of the WPC.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110927/CG76018LOGO)

Qi, the global standard for wireless charging, allows devices to be charged just by placing them on any Qi charging surface without connecting cords or wires. Qi offers simplicity, convenience, and flexibility by ensuring wireless charging interoperability between any Qi-enabled device and any Qi charger, regardless of manufacturer or brand.

The Qi logo promises that a wireless charger with the Qi logo will power all mobile devices with the Qi logo. To safeguard that promise, the Wireless Power Consortium performs two tests on all Qi products. The first test is a compliance test performed by a Qi authorized testing center. The second test, which Testronic labs will now perform, ensures interoperability with all Qi products.

"With the growing number of Qi products, it's essential to verify that all wireless chargers work correctly with all mobile devices," said WPC Chairman Menno Treffers. "Testronic's library of Qi products makes it easy to verify that a new product works correctly with all previously certified products."

"We see the implementation of Qi as one of the most impactful developments for the users of mobile devices, such as cell phones, tablets, and other devices that are part of all of our personal and professional lives," said Testronic Labs CTO Johan Craeybeckx. "Testronic is thrilled to support this new standard with our deep expertise in testing and quality control."

AT&T Expands Mobile Broadband Wireless Capacity for Vermont Ski and Snowboarding Enthusiasts

Additional Carriers Expected to Improve Performance of Mobile Broadband Data and Voice Connectivity

KILLINGTON, Vt., Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for the winter sports season, snow lovers visiting several popular Vermont mountains and ski resorts are expected to experience improved mobile broadband coverage and voice performance as a result of continued investment and innovation by AT&T*. The company announced today that it has completed a key initiative in its ongoing efforts to enhance the wireless capacity and performance of its mobile broadband network throughout the popular ski season towns of Killington, Stowe, Bolton, Ludlow and Wilmington.

The network enhancement adds new layers of frequency, also known as "carriers," to eight cell sites throughout Vermont ski country to more efficiently manage available spectrum and increase mobile broadband capacity. The expansion helps manage ever-growing demand for mobile broadband services by allocating more network resources for AT&T's mobile broadband network.           

"Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience, whether they're making calls to their snowboarding pals, surfing the web for the latest powder conditions, or texting photos taken from the ski lifts," said Steve Krom, vice president and general manager for AT&T New England. "As part of the Vermont community, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide an enhanced customer experience to residents and winter tourists alike, and our investment in the local wireless network is just one way we're accomplishing that."

"Access to the latest mobile broadband technology is important for our area," said Vermont Senator Kevin Mullin. "Today's announcement is good news for our local businesses and citizens, as well as the many visitors that will come to enjoy the winter season at Killington."

Today's announcement builds on the momentum established during AT&T's recent wireless investments in Vermont.  In 2011, AT&T added three new cell sites in Vermont, deployed enhanced backhaul connections to enable 4G speeds**, added capacity - or layers of frequency - to more than 110 cell sites and expanded its mobile broadband network by enhancing more than 75 cell sites.

AT&T's mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the best international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, providing access to voice service in more than 225 countries and data service in more than 200 countries.

AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** with more than 29,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to nearly 190,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.

For more information about AT&T's coverage in Vermont or anywhere in the United States, consumers can visit the AT&T Coverage Viewer.

OpenPeak Unveils SANCTION(TM) Cloud Mobile Device Management at CES

Gain Control of Mobile Devices in the Workplace with the Cloud-Based MDM System; Provision, Manage Devices with Built-in Policy and Security Controls

BOCA RATON, Fla., Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CES, Las Vegas --  Mobile device and application management (MDM) platform provider OpenPeak Inc. today unveiled its new cloud-based SANCTION(TM) device management system. SANCTION is part of a comprehensive platform that enables enterprises and service providers to provision, secure, locate, audit and fully manage users' mobile devices using the OpenPeak ADAM(TM) Administrator web portal.

Making its debut at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), SANCTION is now available for deployment as a stand-alone MDM solution and is compatible with multiple device platforms. Together with OpenPeak's SECTOR(TM) profile management application and OPENSHOP fully managed application shop, OpenPeak ADAM delivers all five of Gartner's "Elements of MDM" set forth in its 2011 Magic Quadrant for Mobile Device Management Software, including:

    --  Physical device management with complete user management, provisioning
        and support, including the ability to examine/update firmware, reassign
        devices, enable/disable features such as data roaming or on-board
        hardware (e.g. camera, speaker or microphone), as well as push audio or
        text notifications and even provide remote support when needed.
    --  Policy-based management with configurable rules- and event-based control
        of on-device operations, such as disallowing the use of specific
        applications or workspaces during certain times, locking a device that
        moves outside a specific geographic region, or disabling a camera if the
        device is on a specific Wi-Fi SSID.
    --  Security management with the ability to force the use of VPN for secure
        network connectivity when on an unauthorized Wi-Fi network; remotely
        push certificates, VPN configurations and Wi-Fi SSID configurations;
        reset passwords, define password policies, and even lock or fully wipe a
        device in the event it becomes lost, stolen or taken out of service.
    --  Business intelligence and service reporting with a policy-driven
        reporting engine that provides device and application-based feedback,
        including installed apps, app and data usage, call history, network
        connectivity, energy consumption and more.
    --  Software distribution through the OPENSHOP secure enterprise in-house
        application store that offers ability to remotely deploy, remove,
        install or update approved apps, and block or delete blacklisted apps.
"The proliferation of mobile devices has created quite a challenge for every size company," said OpenPeak CEO Dan Gittleman. "The question is, how do you balance the benefits of the technology with the security risks and the management strain these devices place on already-taxed IT departments? Our new end-to-end system makes it easy, eliminating the need to stitch together various stand-alone components in an attempt to achieve the necessary visibility and control."

In addition to its complete integration with OpenPeak's multi-tiered and OS-agnostic ADAM Administrator portal and white-label OPENSHOP products, SANCTION can also work in conjunction with existing legacy systems to augment MDM components already in place.

Coordinated and led by the NCSA,Data Privacy Day is an international celebration that promotes privacy awareness and education across the United States, Canada, Council of Europe member countries, and a host of other countries across the globe. The annual international awareness initiative focuses on educating people about the importance of protecting the privacy of personal information and promotes individual control over private data. Since 2008, Data Privacy Day has continued to thrive through the support and participation of major international corporations and new organizations are joining the list of participating organizations for 2012 every day.

Momentum for Data Privacy Day continues to grow with the release of the Data Privacy Day 2012 website available at: http://www.staysafeonline.org/dpd.  The site includes information about Data Privacy Day events taking place in January and early February and offers educational materials and resources for young people, educators, parents, consumers, and businesses about the importance of protecting the privacy of personal information online and in mobile contexts. Also available are tip sheets, posters (coming soon), and information about how to deal with privacy issues. Organizations are welcome to download and use any of these materials to host their own Data Privacy Day events. Companies and organizations can express their support by becoming champions through the website at http://www.staysafeonline.org/dpd/get-involved/become-champion.

Leading up to Data Privacy Day 2012, its sponsors and NCSA will host and participate in various events, initiatives and trainings around the world designed to raise awareness about privacy issues. One such event includes a forum hosted by NCSA, Intel and Comcast on January 26, 2012, at the George Washington University Law School in Washington, DC. The event will focus on the intersection between privacy and security and include a discussion by key policy and thought leaders regarding what can be done to ensure better Internet privacy protections across the U.S. and worldwide. In San Jose, California, Microsoft will host an event at the Churchill Club on January 24th that explores "The Collection of Online Consumer Data: The Good, The Bad and the Unknown." Information about these events and others will be made available at: http://www.staysafeonline.org/dpd/2012-events.

"NCSA is pleased to extend our list of partners in this international awareness effort, and we look forward to working with Intel, eBay Inc., Microsoft, Intuit, Comcast and NQ Mobile. NCSA's mission is driven by our public-private partnerships, and these innovative companies will provide a strong foundation for Data Privacy Day 2012 and a platform to share our message and educate people around the world on how to protect their digital footprint and information," said Michael Kaiser, executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance. "This year, we encourage all digital citizens to take an active role in learning safe practices and behaviors. We encourage people to follow the basic advice from the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. campaign and protect their personal information. It is our collective and shared responsibility to help make the Internet a safer environment in which people have the ability to protect the privacy of their personal information, and it starts with three simple steps: STOP. THINK. CONNECT."

As a founding sponsor, Intel has played an integral role in Data Privacy Day under the leadership of NCSA Board member David Hoffman. "It's important to reflect on how technology impacts our lives and the benefits we get from the processing of personal information.  To get these benefits we also need to understand the risks from such processing," said Hoffman, director of security policy and global privacy officer at Intel.  "Since its inception, Data Privacy Day has raised awareness on privacy issues in an increasingly digital world, and we hope this year's efforts will create better understanding of the implications of the use of technology."

Microsoft has also been an integral force in helping Data Privacy Day thrive. "Microsoft has a longstanding commitment to privacy," said Jacqueline Beauchere, NCSA Board secretary and director of trustworthy computing for Microsoft Corporation. "Data Privacy Day provides an important platform for industry to come together to raise awareness among consumers, business and government. The growing support for Data Privacy Day shows an industry commitment to ensuring that privacy issues remain a top priority. We look forward to all of the activity surrounding Data Privacy Day and reaching new audiences through additional partnerships."

eBay Inc. has recently joined Intel as an official sponsor of Data Privacy Day.  Additionally, the newest partners for Data Privacy Day include Comcast, Intuit, and NQ Mobile. "We look forward to supporting Data Privacy Day 2012 and are excited about promoting the importance of data privacy at both the domestic and international levels with a platform that engages audiences and provides helpful information that users can employ year-round," said Gerard Lewis, chief privacy officer of Comcast and Suzanne Rodway, chief privacy officer of NBCUniversal.

To help spread awareness of the privacy risks associated with smartphones, NQ Mobile will share important insights about data privacy gained from its recent survey of American consumers and extensive research on mobile threats. "At NQ Mobile, our core mission is to help consumers understand the importance of protecting their private data stored on mobile smartphones," said Dr. Henry Lin, the company's founder, CEO and chairman. "The products we make play a critical part, but nothing is more vital than what users themselves can do to ensure that their private data remains safe and secure. We look forward to helping educate consumers on how to protect their personal and financial information as part of Data Privacy Day."

Data Privacy Day began in Europe in 2007 and continues to be celebrated in more than 30 countries as Data Protection Day.  The United States and Canada joined the celebration in 2008. Since 2009, the U.S. Senate has recognized January 28th as National Data Privacy Day in the United States.  In 2009, the National Association of Attorneys General recognized Data Privacy Day, and numerous state governors recognize Data Privacy Day annually.  Over the past four years, Data Privacy Day has grown significantly and has been celebrated by at least one entity in the following areas: India, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Australia, the Philippines, and Hong Kong.

Enterprise Migrations From Microsoft Exchange Server to Microsoft Office 365 Now Made Smart, Fast and Simple With Binary Tree's E2E Complete 3.0

NEWARK, N.J., Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Binary Tree, a leading provider of software solutions for migrating to Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint, announced today the availability of E2E Complete 3.0 which adds support for migrating from on-premises Exchange Server environments to the Microsoft Office 365 cloud.  E2E Complete 3.0 is a full-featured solution for any Exchange-to-Exchange migration scenario.  In addition to supporting migrations to Microsoft Office 365, it also supports cross-forest (inter-organization) Exchange migrations, including the migration of Public Folders, as well as intra-organization Exchange upgrades.

"For migrations from legacy Exchange to Exchange 2010 and Office 365, we have standardized on E2E Complete software from Binary Tree," stated Ken Young, Microsoft Practice Director at Logicalis.  "Logicalis has performed dozens of migrations to Microsoft Exchange 2010, including Office 365 and the utilization of E2E Complete has allowed us to reduce migration project timelines, increase migration accuracy and reduce project costs.  The E2E Complete software has placed Logicalis many steps ahead of our competition and allows us to perform the migration effort for our customers at a lower cost than they can perform it themselves."

Here are just a few examples of the key advantages that E2E Complete offers over the legacy Exchange migration tools.

    --  E2E Complete installs in about an hour.  E2E Complete can be installed,
        configured and ready to use in about an hour, which is significantly
        faster than the legacy tools.  Plus, E2E Complete automatically compiles
        almost 100 mailbox and active directory attributes which makes it much
        easier to organize and schedule a migration.

    --  E2E Complete migrates mailboxes up to 10 times faster.  E2E Complete
        uses PowerShell to migrate data up to 10 times faster than the legacy
        tools.  Plus, E2E Complete doesn't force Outlook users that operate in
        cached mode (offline mode) to rebuild their local mail files after the
        migration like the legacy tools do.
    --  E2E Complete automates the communications, management and reporting
        processes.  E2E Complete enables administrators to automate end-users
        notifications and offer a self-service portal so that end-users can
        manage the date they will be migrated.  E2E Complete also provides a
        centralized scheduling and management console via a web interface to
        efficiently manage and report on every aspect of the migration project.
Recently named the "Best Exchange/Unified Communications Product" in the 2011 Best of Connections Awards, B. K. Winstead, a Senior Associate Editor at Windows IT Pro stated that "moving a Microsoft Exchange Server organization is a nightmare for many admins, but a tool like Binary Tree E2E Complete can help soothe those bad dreams."

Broadcom Launches First Gigabit Speed 802.11ac Chips - Opens 2012 CES with 5th Generation (5G) Wi-Fi Breakthrough

5G WiFi Offers Consumers the World's Fastest, Most Reliable Wireless Coverage for HD-Quality Video and Near Instantaneous Data Synch

Innovation Attracts Support from Industry Leaders - Comcast, Lenovo, Motorola, NETGEAR and Others

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CES -

News Highlights:

    --  Broadcom introduces first family of IEEE 802.11ac chips based on the 5th
        generation of Wi-Fi (5G WiFi)
    --  5G WiFi improves wireless range in the home, allowing consumers to watch
        HD-quality video from more devices, in more places
    --  The increased speed of 5G WiFi allows consumers to load web content on a
        mobile device faster, synch large video or music files quickly, all
        while extending battery life
    --  5G WiFi addresses the growing need for a more robust and efficient
        wireless network
Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today introduced its first family of 802.11ac (5G WiFi) chips designed for a broad range of product segments. The new IEEE 802.11ac chips are three times faster and up to six times more power efficient than equivalent 802.11n solutions. Visit Experience Broadcom @ CES for more news, blogs and multi-media from CES and http://www.5GWiFi.org for more information on consumer advantages of 802.11ac.

5G WiFi is the next generation Wi-Fi standard required for today's mobile and video era. Based on 802.11ac, 5G WiFi is a major evolutionary step from the existing 802.11a/b/g/n networks. Broadcom's 5G WiFi dramatically improves the wireless range in the home, allowing consumers to watch HD-quality video from more devices, in more places, simultaneously. The increased speed enables consumers to download web content from a mobile device faster and quickly synch large files, such as videos, in a fraction of the time it would take on a similar 802.11n device. Since 5G WiFi transfers the same volume of data at a much faster rate, devices enter low-power mode faster, which results in significant power consumption advantages.

Digital-content consumption is on a steep incline, with video content expected to reach approximately 90 percent of global consumer traffic, according to Cisco's 2011 Visual Networking Index Forecast. At the same time, Internet traffic is shifting rapidly from wired to wireless networks. The increased reliance on wireless networks, the explosion of video consumption and the growing number of wireless devices being used are all putting tremendous stress on legacy 802.11a/b/g/n networks. As a result, consumers are prone to experience deteriorated performance, choppy videos and slower load times.

By creating more reliable whole-home coverage, Broadcom's 5G WiFi technology overcomes the digital content and wireless device challenge. Broadcom's family of 5G WiFi solutions includes the BCM4360, BCM4352, BCM43526 and BCM43516.

Product Highlights:

    --  All 5G WiFi solutions from Broadcom support the following features:
        --  80 MHz channel bandwidth that is 2 times wider than current 802.11n
            solutions
        --  256-QAM, a higher modulation scheme that increases data transfer
            efficiency
        --  Transmit and receive beamforming
        --  Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) Codes
        --  Space-Time Block Codes (STBC)
    --  BCM4360 supports the PCIe interface and implements 3-stream 802.11ac
        specifications, and reaches speeds up to 1.3 Gbps.
    --  BCM4352 and BCM43526 implement 2-stream 802.11ac specification to reach
        up to 867 Mbps. BCM4352 supports PCIe interface; BCM43526 supports the
        USB interface.
    --  BCM43516 supports USB and reaches speeds of up to 433 Mbps with its
        single stream 802.11ac implementation.
    --  Chips with the PCIe interface are ideal for access points, routers,
        DSL/cable gateways and PC products; chips that use USB are ideal for
        consumer electronics devices including televisions, set-top boxes and
        Blu-Ray players.
    --  Broadcom's new 5G WiFi chips deliver better coverage and longer battery
        life in a small form factor that is interoperable and compatible with
        existing technologies.
        --  Beamforming helps steer content in the direction of the intended
            receiver, increasing reliability and extending range; this is well
            complemented by STBC and LDPC code support.
        --  By transferring the same volume of data at a much faster rate,
            devices go into a low-power mode faster than existing 802.11n
            solutions.
        --  Designed on 40nm manufacturing process, the new chips are smaller
            and more power efficient, giving customers more design freedom.
        --  Broadcom's 5G WiFi solutions work with all legacy 802.11 standards
            and complement other wireless technologies - like Wi-Fi Direct,
            Bluetooth and NFC.

Broadcom is sampling 5G WiFi solutions to its early access partners including retail and PC OEMs, service providers and carriers, and will be demonstrating 5G WiFi capabilities at CES.

802.11ac has generated broad support across the consumer-electronics industry. Companies and partners across the ecosystem recognize that 802.11ac is the future of Wi-Fi and are committed to its development, integration and distribution.

"Marvell and Google have teamed up to change home entertainment forever - transforming the TV into the command center for our connected lifestyle.  Marvell and Google are fundamentally changing the relationship between the producers and consumers of content - from Hollywood to Madison Avenue to publishing and major news networks - creating a dynamic, two-way experience featuring real-time global news, social network, entertainment and information," said Weili Dai, Co-founder of Marvell. "I believe this is a major breakthrough movement and it's just the beginning of our bigger vision. The same forces that are revolutionizing today's television experience will transform numerous vertical applications for small businesses and large enterprises, enhancing the way we all work, connect with each other and collaborate globally."

"The Google and Marvell teams have been working closely together to bring our combined software and chipset technologies to market to grow the Google TV ecosystem of manufacturers and devices. Marvell-powered Google TV solutions will enable powerful products to be brought to market at attractive prices," said Mario Queiroz, VP, Product Management Google TV.

For consumers, today's digital home offers an endless choice of devices and content. For OEMs and service providers, it's an all-out sprint to create offerings that perform noticeably better than competitors and at mass-market prices. The Connected TV Marketing Association (CTVMA) estimates 123 million connected TVs will be sold worldwide in 2014. Those consumers will expect access to the services they love - Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, Picasa and many more - in a lightning-fast, crystal-clear and resource-friendly package.

Powerful, energy-efficient, ultra-scalable and immensely affordable, the ARMADA 1500 contains Marvell's highest-performing ARM v6/7-compatible PJ4B SMP super-scalar dual-core CPU. The chip is designed to enable PC-like processing power to support Web browsing with support for Flash(TM) and other key technologies - with the aid of more than 6000 Dhrystone MIPS of computing horsepower, FPU v3.0, 512KB of L2 cache and WMMX2. The Foresight Platform is energy efficient and has advanced cell-phone like power management.

The ARMADA 1500 also contains Marvell's award-winning Qdeo video processing for state-of-the-art HD and 3D video, including scaling, noise reduction, de-interlacing, low bit-rate internet video enhancement and FRC and color/contrast enhancement. The chip offers VMeta(TM), a multi-format video decoder/encoder/transcoder that can decode up to two simultaneous 1080p streams as well as a host of other video formats and containers. These features make the Foresight Platform ideal for Google TV, which requires tremendous processing power for its numerous applications at a cost effective price point.
