Cellebrite Unveils New Tablet Mobile Content Transfer and Backup Solution for Operators and Retailers

Cellebrite Touch(TM) Device Provides Fast, Easy Synchronization of Mobile Content at the Point-of-Sale

ORLANDO, Fla., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cellebrite, providing the tools, technology and talent to optimize mobile device-driven data, today announced the general availability of Cellebrite Touch, the latest addition to its Universal Memory Exchanger family of mobile data synchronization and backup solutions, in the United States.  The Cellebrite Touch is a tablet device for mobile phone operators, retailers and service centers that allows them to instantaneously transfer a customer's mobile content to a new phone, increasing individual sales value with the installation of mobile applications or content at the point of purchase.

For mobile operators and retailers, the explosion of mobile content has opened up new opportunities to drive revenue by offering subscribers new features and applications during the purchase or upgrade of a phone or service.  Yet companies continue to seek out the most effective ways to offer content at the point-of-sale while still providing an optimal customer service experience.

The Cellebrite Touch device is designed and manufactured specifically to enable customer service representatives to transfer content or offer new applications and services to users from anywhere in the store.  The device provides phone-to-phone transfer of all content, including contacts, messages, photos, videos and audio files, and supports more than 3,000 phone makes and models.  Additional features include:

    --  A 7-inch touchscreen for fast and easy operation, with full, built-in
        Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities
    --  Backup and restore of content onto a USB device, SD card, remote server
        or third-party application
    --  Opportunity to install mobile applications and content as a special
        purchase incentive or to increase sale value or data usage at the
        point-of-sale
    --  Multiple applications built into the device, such as firmware flashing,
        which allows faults to be repaired on site and reduces the need to
        return phones to the vendor

Cellebrite's latest mobile content transfer and backup solution is already in use at multiple tier-one operators and retail locations across the United States.  The company's UME-36 PRO for more than a decade has been the de facto standard in point-of-sale mobile content transfer and backup, with almost 90 percent market-share and more than 85,000 devices installed worldwide.

"As mobile operators and retailers continuously look to increase their value to subscribers, the in-store customer experience is the perfect place to start," said Adi Ofrat, CEO, Cellebrite US.  "The Cellebrite Touch is a natural evolution of our business, as it offers operators and retailers the ability to enhance the mobile content transfer and backup services they've been offering for years through our UME solutions.  Just as the tablet PC is changing the personal computing landscape, our tablet solution will change the point-of-sale mobile content transfer and backup experiences for operators and users alike."

The Cellebrite Touch will be on display at the CTIA Wireless 2011 Conference, March 22-24, 2011, in Orlando, Fla., booth # 3283.  To schedule a demo, please contact Mark Van Hook, Articulate Communications, mvanhook@articulatecomms.com, 212.255.0080 ext. 33.  Click here to learn more about Cellebrite's full range of mobile content transfer and backup solutions for operators and retailers.

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED(TM) Hotspot Program to Ease Subscriber Connectivity in Service Provider Wi-Fi® Hotspots

AUSTIN, Texas, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- An initiative to transform the user experience in hotspots is underway in the Wi-Fi Alliance®. Service providers and device manufacturers in the organization have formalized a set of industry market requirements that will lay the foundation for a new Wi-Fi CERTIFIED testing program that addresses authentication and provision of service for public Wi-Fi networks.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20070516/SFW029LOGO)

"Ensuring end users can easily access hotspot networks from various providers is a win for subscribers, service providers and device makers alike," said Kelly Davis-Felner, marketing director of the Wi-Fi Alliance. "We envision an automated, cellular-like experience for Wi-Fi users around the world in security-protected service provider hotspots."

"As a member of the Wi-Fi Alliance, France Telecom-Orange has actively contributed to the development of Wi-Fi hotspot certification, which is set to significantly improve user experience by facilitating connectivity in hotspots," said Rida Zouaoui, head of access networks standardisation of France Telecom-Orange. "By developing carrier-grade certification, this new generation of hotspots will allow Orange to provide Wi-Fi services that are both reliable and user-friendly. In addition, SIM-based authentication will enhance security and accessibility to Orange Wi-Fi hotspots, especially when roaming."

The Wi-Fi Alliance hotspot program will also facilitate the seamless handoff of cellular traffic from data-hungry smartphones, tablets and other portable electronics to Wi-Fi, helping service providers manage demands on constrained licensed spectrum. Data volume over cellular networks is forecast to nearly double from 2011 to 2012, reaching 4.56 million terabytes(1). In an effort to address this trend, many service providers have recently announced expanded Wi-Fi hotspot deployment plans. As a result, the number of hotspots worldwide is expected to more than double by 2014, from the current estimate of 750,000.

"We are proud to participate in the Wi-Fi Alliance hotspot certification initiative", says Andrew Bocking, VP, Handheld Software Product Management, Research In Motion. "The program will provide users with a simpler and more standardized way to discover, subscribe and securely connect to hotspots around the world, than is possible today."

The key benefits of the hotspot program include:

    --  Network Discovery and Selection: Devices discover and automatically
        choose networks based upon user preferences, operator policies and
        network optimization
    --  Streamlined Network Access: In many cases, devices will be automatically
        granted access to the network based upon credential mechanisms, such as
        SIM cards, which are widely used in cellular devices today
    --  Immediate Account Provisioning:  The process of establishing a new user
        account at the point of access will be streamlined, eliminating user
        steps and driving a common provisioning methodology across vendors
    --  WPA2(TM) Security: Over-the-air transmissions are encrypted using the
        latest-generation security technology

"Wi-Fi's performance and ubiquity make it a compelling solution for data offload, and service providers are leveraging Wi-Fi as an important part of their strategies," said Philip Solis, research director for mobile devices at ABI Research. "Having an industry-wide solution for provision and authentication enables service providers to take those strategies even further. It enables the development of roaming agreements and ready access to Wi-Fi for subscribers of numerous service providers."

"Cisco is dedicated to supporting open standards across all of our innovative Wi-Fi technologies," said Ray Smets, vice president and general manager, Wireless Networking business unit, Cisco. "By supporting the Wi-Fi Alliance certification, service providers can more easily optimize their networks by offloading data traffic to Wi-Fi and help deliver a better mobile experience to their end customers."

The planned launch of the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED hotspot certification program is targeted for the first half of 2012. To learn more about Wi-Fi Alliance and see a list of member companies, visit http://www.wi-fi.org.

The Wi-Fi Alliance is a global non-profit industry association of hundreds of leading companies devoted to the proliferation of Wi-Fi technology across devices and market segments. With technology development, market building, and regulatory programs, the Wi-Fi Alliance has enabled widespread adoption of Wi-Fi worldwide.

NopSec Releases Two New Modules - Part of NopSec's Growing Vulnerability Risk Management (VRM) Software-as-a-Service Solution

NEW YORK, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the successful New York City IT security consultancy, NopSec, Inc., announced the addition of two new modules to its branded Vulnerability Risk Management Solution - VRM - that enables enterprises to effectively manage IT security vulnerabilities above and beyond those related to network infrastructure. The addition of the Web Application Assessment module and the Internal Assessment module offer VRM users even more vulnerability detection power in the areas of Web applications and internal network assets.

NopSec VRM Web Application Assessment module identifies security vulnerabilities and mis-configurations in the organization's Web application infrastructure, thus protecting important and confidential business and customer information. The module packs powerful "spidering" and state-of-the-art vulnerability detection as its most important features. It is also able to cover all WASC Threat Classification v2.0 attack and weakness categories. Unlike other scanners, the Web Application Assessment module takes into account the dynamic nature of Web applications and can detect changes encountered while traveling through the paths of a Web application's complexity. Users get an informative and interactive Chart Dashboard, and visual renderings of the affected and vulnerable Web application's pages. In addition, the HTML and PDF reports and an interactive Trouble Ticketing System are part of the framework's integrated features.

NopSec VRM Internal Network Assessment module allows organizations to perform security assessments inside the organization through an easy-to-install hardware or virtual scanning appliance. The scanning appliance connects back to the NopSec VRM customer instance in the cloud, thus allowing to "remote-control" the scan happening in the internal network. It allows users to perform vulnerability assessments on the internal network assets and on the internal Web application QA environments. The engine combines extensive vulnerability checks updated on a daily basis and produces concise, straightforward, "false positive"-free reports on the organization's vulnerabilities.

About NopSec, Inc.

NopSec, Inc. is a New York City-based, privately held company founded by seasoned IT security professionals. The company's customers span a wide range of sectors, including finance, banking, law, entertainment, e-commerce and media.

Aviat Networks and Symmetricom Advance IEEE 1588v2 Synchronization Over Microwave Backhaul

Aviat Networks Joins Symmetricom's SyncWorld Ecosystem Program to Support Standards-Based Synchronization Technology

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVNW), a leader in wireless transmission solutions, today announced it is among the first companies to join the Symmetricom®, Inc. SyncWorld(TM) Ecosystem Program for delivering tested solutions for mobile backhaul synchronization over packet microwave networks. Collaborating with Symmetricom strengthens Aviat Networks' solution portfolio for IP network migration by adding IEEE 1588v2 synchronization capability, which enables the smooth introduction of 4G/LTE. This solution capability is in addition to Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), which was added to Aviat's Eclipse platform in late 2010.

Maintaining accurate timing and synchronization in mobile networks is critical for successful call "hand off" when mobile users are traveling between cell sites and to ensure overall voice quality and performance is maintained. As mobile operators migrate their backhaul networks to Ethernet to efficiently handle the vast amounts of growing data and video traffic, a reliable method of maintaining synchronization over packet network is required. Precision Time Protocol, standardized as IEEE 1588v2, has become the de facto standard for packet timing.

Aviat Networks and Symmetricom jointly completed extensive performance and interoperability tests to verify the performance of 1588v2 timing over various complex microwave backhaul network configurations under real-world deployment scenarios, including a 10-hop microwave backhaul network supporting Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM). The successful result provides assurance to mobile operators currently deploying or planning to deploy IEEE 1588v2 timing over packet microwave.

"As networks migrate to Ethernet backhaul for LTE deployments, Symmetricom is committed to developing industry-leading carrier grade timing and synchronization solutions that ensure a smoother transition to packet based services," says Manish Gupta, vice president of marketing at Symmetricom. "We're delighted to have Aviat Networks join the SyncWorld Ecosystem Program and look forward to further collaboration."

Symmetricom announced today the launch of its SyncWorld(TM) Ecosystem Program to support precise timing and synchronization requirements for 4G/LTE deployments that ensure seamless integration for service provider networks. The SyncWorld(TM) Ecosystem Program represents all elements of the mobile value chain from embedded to network equipment manufacturers.

"Our relationship with Symmetricom enriches the solution options available to our customers globally, allowing Aviat Networks to combine a mix of superior wireless and timing technologies with professional support services and end-to-end management to deliver a cost-effective and versatile backhaul solution," says Shaun McFall, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Aviat Networks.

Aviat Networks will present its Eclipse Packet Node high-speed wireless solution in the Symmetricom booth (#1461) at the International CTIA Wireless 2011 show, in Orlando, Florida, March 22-24.

About Aviat Networks

Aviat Networks, Inc. is a leader in wireless transmission solutions. We apply innovation and IP networking expertise toward building a carrier class foundation for future mobile broadband networks.

TRAFFIQ DataTree Landscape Connects Advertisers With Optimal Targeting Partners

Quick Reference Guide of Data Providers Simplifies Targeting Choices for TRAFFIQ Demand Side Customers

NEW YORK, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TRAFFIQ(R), the digital media platform, today announced the release of its DataTree Landscape, a comprehensive guide for advertisers in search of the right targeting data for their digital display campaigns. The interactive chart outlines the integrated data relationships available in the TRAFFIQ platform, organized by their ability to target based on specific audience needs.

The landscape acts as a guide for TRAFFIQ clients to determine what 3rd party data partners to use, and how to apply that segmentation data through the TRAFFIQ platform.  Included in the landscape are top data players such as Tumri, Aperture, Proximic, OwnerIQ, eXelate, AdAdvisor powered by TARGUSinfo, Lotame, Media6Degrees, and Peer39.  Each data provider is listed according to what types of targeting the client might be looking for, whether it be demographic, behavioral, contextual, semantic, or a more specific targeting type.

"Advertisers who are interested in buying audiences don't necessarily care where the data comes from, as long as it is right," said John Yang, TRAFFIQ Trading Desk Director. "We are constantly searching out the best providers, based on their ability to meet or exceed campaign goals, and make them available through the platform. We feel that we have aggregated all of the best data partners already, so our agency partners can focus on driving results," added Chris O'Hara, TRAFFIQ's head of business development.

TRAFFIQ's registered demand side customers can apply the segmentation data they discover in the DataTree Landscape through the TRAFFIQ Trading Desk, or through select media partners in the TRAFFIQ marketplace, and have real time reporting access within their TRAFFIQ campaign dashboard.

"The DataTree Landscape provides agencies with an easy-to-use data guide that will help agencies better leverage targeting data for instant audience building, significant reach and real-time performance feedback," said Paul McLenaghan, Vice President of AdAdvisor, TARGUSinfo.

"Peer39 is proud to be in good company among other industry leaders on the DataTree.  We look forward to a continuous partnership with TRAFFIQ and streamlining the digital media landscape with them by helping agencies better serve ads in the most effective environment," said Andy Ellenthal, CEO of Peer39.

Sermo, Inc. Enters Strategic Partnership to Transform How Physicians Coordinate Care for Their Patients

Collaboration with Janssen Global Services, LLC marks Sermo's entry into mobile and consumer realms to tackle major healthcare challenge

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sermo, Inc., the world's largest on-line physician community, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Janssen Global Services, LLC to develop and deliver new mobile and web services that allow physicians to move their patients more easily and efficiently through the healthcare system. Both companies recognize a key ingredient missing in healthcare transformation is a physician's ability to refer a patient for care, while ensuring continuity in that care. Both physicians and patients complain care today is compromised by lack of connectivity and follow-up.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110321/MM68825LOGO )

Since launching over five years ago, Sermo has grown into the largest on-line physician community counting one in five US physicians as members. The Sermo community increasingly recognized the challenge of coordinating care among providers and that removing barriers had the potential to greatly improve healthcare while controlling costs.  At the same time, smartphone penetration among Sermo's users had eclipsed 50%. So, in early 2010, Sermo began work on a solution that would better link physicians and patients.

Sermo, working in close collaboration with physicians across the country, has identified key opportunities that would help empower teams of physicians to coordinate the best possible care for their patients while "closing the loop" for all care team members.  The intersection of physicians, consumers, and mobile devices represents a critical point of leverage in the effort to improve the healthcare system.

"Our research shows there is tremendous frustration among doctors and patients about the lack of solutions to coordinate care, and new technologies appear to be compounding, rather than solving, the problem," said Daniel Palestrant MD, CEO and Chairman of Sermo. "EMR and EHR have become so contentious among physicians, because they create barriers and introduce complexity into the patient relationship, rather than remove them."  Dr. Palestrant continues, "For years we have been under tremendous pressure from our community to offer a mobile application, but we have resisted because we wanted to have a truly transformative impact on the point of care.  Our community has validated that our approach achieves that goal."

In a recent survey of 600 physicians conducted by Sermo clear gaps were identified in how care is currently coordinated in the healthcare system, with a majority of respondents recognizing a significant portion of their referrals never result in a scheduled appointment. Another survey conducted jointly by Sermo and athenahealthcare, a provider of web-based practice management solutions, showed physicians are becoming less likely to agree that EMRs and EHRs improve efficiency (from 47% in 2010 to 42% in 2011).  The results, part of the companies' annual Physician Sentiment Index (PSI), also revealed growing skepticism among physicians that EMRs and EHRs reduce medical errors (from 71% in 2010 to 64% in 2011) and decrease costs (from 41% in 2010 to 37% in 2011). Furthermore, physicians consistently say the goal of new products should be to return to a more patient-centric approach to healthcare, one which prioritizes patient needs above those of policy makers and administrators.

The first set of services from the partnership is expected to roll out to physicians this spring, with consumer-oriented services scheduled for later in the year.

About Sermo

Sermo is the largest online physician community, where over 120,000 physicians collaborate to improve patient care. Sermo provides access to its community for clients that need fast, actionable insights.

MyEdu Introduces Program to Help Tennessee Colleges Increase Graduation Rates

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MyEdu - an established academic platform for college students - announced a partnership program designed to help Tennessee universities and community colleges increase their on-time graduation rate.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110222/DA51782LOGO)

Tennessee is shifting state funding for higher education institutions that graduate more students - a performance-based funding model(1) - instead of automatically granting money to larger universities - an enrollment based model.

MyEdu specifically designed their partnership program to give Tennessee schools a free option to help with on-time graduation rates, degree completion, block scheduling and managing transfer-credits.

"Performance-based funding only works when institutions have the tools to assist in meeting college completion goals," said Karen Holst, VP of Corporate Marketing for MyEdu, "The free services MyEdu provides to partner campuses will help institutions meet their goals without draining their budget."

The following applications are included in the partnership program to increase academic success:

    Degree Planner: Interactive tool to understand required courses for
     degree completion
    Credit Manager: Track college courses to see how credits transfer from
     one Tennessee institution to another
    Degree Timeline:  Semester-by-semester plan to spread out difficult
     courses for balanced course workload
    Course Fit: Analyze course data, reviews and professor grading patterns
     for best-fitting class selection

More about MyEdu:

MyEdu.com, founded in 2008, is a leading provider of academic information and applications for students, parents and advisors. MyEdu houses the largest warehouse of course, professor, degree and college information in the United States. The use of MyEdu's applications has proven to cut college costs by up to 20% by reducing the amount of time it takes to earn a degree. MyEdu has also helped more than 2 million students graduate from college. To learn more, visit: http://www.myedu.com

(1) Performance based funding model: Tennessee institutions will be rewarded money based on degree completion, time to degree, transfer rates, the number of degrees awarded, or the number of low-income and minority graduates. Traditionally colleges and universities receive funding based on enrollment. One hundred percent of performance-based funding eventually will be tied to course completion and other performance indicators instead of to course enrollment. Because this is the first instance of large-scale performance-based funding, results are not yet known.

Cricket Enters into 4G Roaming Agreement with LightSquared

SAN DIEGO and RESTON, Va., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Leap Wireless International, Inc. (Nasdaq: LEAP), a leading provider of innovative and value-driven wireless communications services, and LightSquared(TM), the nation's first wholesale-only integrated wireless broadband and satellite network company, today announced that they have entered into a long-term 4G roaming agreement. The new arrangement will allow Cricket, Leap's operating subsidiary, to supplement the LTE coverage that Cricket plans to deploy across its own networks over the next few years with LTE roaming services from LightSquared.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101220/MM20546LOGO-a)

"Our business progress demonstrates how data services are increasingly important to our customers, as evidenced by our customers' significant uptake of smartphones and data-focused, higher-ARPU service plans," said Doug Hutcheson, Leap's President and CEO.  "We intend to deploy our own LTE networks beginning this year to complement the existing nationwide 3G services we currently offer to customers.  This new roaming arrangement will allow us to offer customers an even-greater 4G service area as LightSquared expands its own network.  We believe that the broad coverage resulting from this business agreement will enhance our ability to offer compelling products and services and allow us to strengthen our retail relationships and distribution capabilities.  It will also give us flexibility to access additional 4G capacity where needed as data-centric devices become more popular and require more and more bandwidth."

"Leap is a fantastic company and we're excited to do business with them," said Sanjiv Ahuja, chairman and CEO of LightSquared.  "Cricket customers' appetite for wireless data is growing exponentially and in ways no one could have envisioned even a few years ago. By providing a wholesale-only nationwide 4G LTE network complemented by satellite coverage, LightSquared will help Leap meet its customers' demand for universal, affordable broadband connectivity.  We are fully committed to delivering our roaming services on time and with the quality, speed, coverage and capacity required to support Leap's business needs."

Financial and other terms of the roaming agreement were not disclosed.

NICE Introduces New Version of Security Situation Management Solution With Greater Openness and Interoperability

New Version of NICE Situator Also Offers Enhanced Visualization and Workflow, and Pre-Configured Packages for Addressing Growing Compliance Requirements and the Specific Needs of Various Vertical Industries

RA'ANANA, Israel, March 22, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --     NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), the worldwide leader of intent-based
solutions that extract insight to impact business performance, reduce
financial risk and ensure safety and security, today announced enhancements
to its open security situation management solution, NICE Situator. The new
release of NICE Situator offers greater openness and interoperability, and
enhanced situation visualization and workflow. NICE will debut the new
version of NICE Situator in booth 7109 at the 2011 ISC West Conference, April
5-8, 2011 at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas.

    NICE Situator, which was recently named the leading PSIM (Physical
Security Information Management) software solution by independent analyst
firm IMS Research, now provides a number of important enhancements. These
include capabilities for precise, real-time tracking of relevant assets
(whether vehicles, aircraft, ships, radar targets, sensors, or a host of
other resources). These capabilities are ready-made and vertical-market
specific. They also address specific compliance requirements and standards,
such as those of NERC CIP, the North American Electric Reliability Council's
regulations for protecting critical infrastructure, and those of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) National Incident Management System
(NIMS). Customers can leverage pre-configured industry-compliant
visualization packages or easily customize their own visualization icons and
logic.

    "We are happy to introduce these new capabilities in NICE Situator," said
Davidi Vortman, General Manager, Security Management Solutions, NICE. "With
more than two hundred gateways to leading security and safety solutions, NICE
Situator offers a very high level of openness, and introduces previously
unavailable situation management capabilities to leading organizations in the
transportation, utility, banking and public safety sectors worldwide.
Extending NICE Situator's openness outside the organization through external
business process integration was the next logical step. With the new NICE
Situator version, organizations can leverage a wealth of external information
sources for decision support when responding to situations or threats."

    "For example, in an airport emergency landing, external data fed into
NICE Situator, such as the aircraft's size or type, number of passengers, or
any hazardous materials on board, might dictate a specific response
scenario," Vortman continued.

    NICE Situator provides adaptive workflows that guide operator actions
based on standard operating procedures and internal situation triggers. The
new version also provides the ability to leverage external correlation
engines, enterprise systems, databases and web services for enhanced workflow
and informed decision-making. NICE Situator can query these external systems
and based on that input, dynamically proceed down another path in the
response plan.

    "Having worked with NICE to implement NICE Situator, I can tell you we
are very impressed with the solution's capabilities, and in particular the
direction that the company has taken with its newest release of NICE
Situator," said Mark Moscinski, Sr. Vice President for SDI, a national
systems integrator specializing in mission-critical systems and
infrastructure. "When it comes to Situation Management solutions, NICE is
setting the benchmark for openness, interoperability, visualization and
workflow."

    The new version of NICE Situator provides an off-the-shelf approach to
integrating a broad number of external correlation engines or third party
data sources into an organization's workflow, by avoiding the need for custom
development. These sources could include background checks, watch lists,
threat levels, weather service data, maintenance records, etc.
Interoperability is also improved by enabling a faster, more accurate
approach for sharing information that may reside in different agencies or
departments, and which may be used for decision-making and response that can
be audited post-incident.

    The NICE Security Offering addresses the needs of governments and
enterprises with intent-based solutions for fighting crime and terror, by
anticipating, managing and mitigating safety, security and operational risks.
The offering enables capturing, analysis and correlation of data from
multiple sensors and systems, including audio, video, radio, geo-location and
web, providing a framework for fusing data silos into a single, holistic
operational view. NICE Security solutions empower organizations to act
effectively in real time to prevent, manage and investigate incidents,
ensuring fast resolution and debriefing, and continuous security
improvements. NICE Security solutions are deployed worldwide in
transportation systems, critical infrastructures, city centers and enterprise
campuses.

solutions that capture and analyze interactions and transactions, realize

Moofwd Convergence Platform Makes Mashups Key to Enterprise Mobility

New enterprise app development platform from Moofwd mashes-up systems, services and the cloud to build apps that run anywhere

ORLANDO, Fla. and PRINCETON, N.J., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprise mobile application foundry, Moofwd (http://www.moofwd.com), today unveiled the Moofwd Convergence Platform, an application development platform designed to intelligently integrate specific elements of an organization's various internal systems with cloud-based external resources to produce function-based mobile applications that run on any smartphone platform or via the Web. 

Specifically created to leverage enterprises' existing IT investments and devices, the Moofwd Convergence Platform offers a cross platform approach to application development that makes it easy for enterprises to mobilize their business processes while taking advantage of the internal IT investments that are already working well for them. Empowering IT departments to move forward new mobile initiatives, the Moofwd approach delivers maximum results and minimal expense.

"With Moofwd, the mobilization of any enterprise business process is no longer a daunting task for IT departments," said Sachin Ahuja, CEO and chief architect of Moofwd.  "Applications developed on the Moofwd Convergence Platform run natively on all leading smartphone and tablet operating systems and devices, resolving device and information system fragmentation at the source. Moofwd gives IT departments a cost-effective way to implement mobile initiatives organization-wide - we turn IT managers into IT heroes." 

Today's mobile market is highly fragmented, with a wide array of device types and operating systems. The IT picture within enterprises is equally fragmented with companies using a multitude of different systems from different vendors, many of which operate in a silo, unable to share information with one another.  When these two levels of fragmentation combine, the effort to mobilize a company's business processes can become very complex.  The Moofwd Convergence Platform resolves both device and information system fragmentation, producing apps that run natively on all leading smartphone and tablet devices.

The Moofwd Convergence Platform makes it possible for all of a company's disparate systems to talk to one another resulting in custom apps that deliver the exact information that is needed in a cross platform application. This improved flow of information and its direct delivery to the people that need it most means that the "whole," or the functionality of the app, can be far greater than the sum of its parts, or the disparate systems operating in silos. The Moofwd Convergence platform easily mashes up leading social networks, news feeds, blogs and other public APIs with database servers, ERPs and even mainframe or legacy systems. Built from the ground up with large enterprises in mind, the Moofwd Convergence Platform also makes light work for developers, eliminating the need to learn another development environment.

As proof of concept of the Moofwd Convergence Platform in action, the Moofwd CodeFarm, an internal program to drive innovation in mobile app development, incubates new mobile app ideas within Moofwd on a continual basis. The best ideas, all built on the Moofwd Convergence Platform, are then productized and spun off. Coders interested in joining the Moofwd CodeFarm should contact Moofwd directly at codefarm@moofwd.com.

Moofwd is showcasing its innovative Moofwd Convergence Platform at CTIA in the Telecom Council Innovation Showcase, space 4290-GG, located within the Emerging Technology Zone on the show floor. For more information on the Moofwd Convergence Platform visit http://www.moofwd.com.

About Moofwd

Moofwd, an enterprise mobile application foundry, offers organizations a simple way to extract new value and utility from their existing IT systems through the creation of cross-platform mobile and Web-based apps.  By mashing-up internal systems with cloud based services the Moofwd Convergence Platform intelligently combines elements from a company's multiple internal services and data sources together with external services and resources to mobilize business operations. Further driving mobile app innovation, the Moofwd CodeFarm incubates new mobile app ideas internally, productizing and spinning off the best ideas as proofs of concept of the Moofwd Convergence Platform.

Top Eco and Performance Design Award Goes to New Samsung Notebook PC

STOCKHOLM and HOUSTON, March 22, 2011/PRNewswire/ --     The TCO Certified usability and eco-label for ICT products today awarded
the prestigious TCO Certified Edge designation to the new Samsung Notebook
Series 9 for outstanding achievement in outdoor readability. A first in
notebook design, the Samsung Notebook Series 9 delivers superior brightness,
which is essential for outdoor readability, while not compromising any key
performance or environmental features. The TCO Certified Edge is awarded
exclusively to leading-edge ICT products that push the boundaries of
environmental and user-centered design.

     (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20110322/441402 )

    CEO of TCO Development, Soren Enholm congratulated Samsung on the award:
"This achievement by Samsung is a leading example of what the TCO Certified
Edge program sets out to reward: high-performance and eco-design that goes
beyond the mainstream. By combining the two without compromise, Samsung has
shown that it is possible to deliver an exceptional user experience while
also maintaining its commitment to green design."

    Announced at CES in January, the Samsung Notebook Series 9 promises to
deliver unparalleled display quality. Outdoor readability has always been a
challenge for mobile notebook users, as strong light in outdoor environments
typically overpowers the maximum luminance produced by the screen, which
makes the display difficult to read. With its significantly higher luminance,
the Samsung Notebook Series 9 can better counteract the ambient light levels
typically experienced in bright outdoor environments, therefore making it a
great choice for outdoor use.

    "It is a great honor to get TCO Certified Edge and build a leadership in
mobile PC industry with our Notebook Series 9," said Kyuho Uhm, senior vice
president of the IT Solutions Business at Samsung Electronics. "The
notebook's SuperBright Plus display is two times brighter than conventional
displays, as well as its vibrant color reproduction (16 million colors) and
Super Contrast ratio (1,300:1), make it one of the most beautiful notebook
displays on the market. We are creating the best in display and offering our
customers a complete and comprehensive notebook that meets all of their needs
within one premium device."

    About TCO Certified

    TCO Certified is a third party certification for high performance ICT
products that are also designed for minimal environmental impact: PCs,
displays, projectors, phone headsets. Energy efficiency, reduction of
hazardous substances, CSR and usability are key elements of all TCO Certified
products. Since 1992, TCO Certified has made it easy to choose technology
designed for both usability and the environment.

Whole Lotta Love for the Mobile Web - Debuting All New Opera Mini 6 and Opera Mobile 11

OSLO, Norway, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Can't get no satisfaction from the mobile Web? Then you will fall head over heels for the new Opera Mini and Opera Mobile browsers launched today, now also available to cherish on tablets. Opera's mobile browsers are the world's most popular, the weapon of choice for 100 million people worldwide, used on more than 3000 devices. If you still haven't found what you are looking for, there is an Opera out there available for you. Download to your phone from: m.opera.com and don't stop til you get enough.

What's new, pussycat?

    --  Smooth operator: Improved scrolling, panning and zooming make the Opera
        Mini and Opera Mobile browsers the sweetest thing to hit mobile devices
        since the Opera Mini 5 browser.
    --  Pinch-to-zoom: Feel free to twist and shout now that Opera's features
        include true pinch-to-zoom on devices that support pinch.
    --  Sharing: When you find something, let it be ... shared. The new versions
        feature a share button, so you can easily post, Tweet
        (twiddly-diddly-deet), or just shout it out loud on Facebook, vKontakte
        or My Opera.
    --  Now also optimized for tablets: Is it any wonder? Opera for tablets
        brings smooth browsing to your tablet PC with a brand new interface that
        is sure to rock you like a hurricane.

What we say

"If you've lost that loving feeling for the Web on your phone or tablet, don't let it bring you down. Just try one of our browsers," said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. "The sun always shines on TV, but the Opera browser shines on more than 3000 devices."

Who are you? The difference between the Opera Mini and Opera Mobile browsers

    --  The Opera Mini browser uses Opera's servers to shake, rattle and roll
        webpages down to a tenth of their original size before sending them to
        your phone. Because the data transferred is smaller, pages arrive faster
        than the speed of sound. On a pay-as-you-go plan, the Opera Mini browser
        dramatically cuts the price you pay, because the data you use is greatly
        reduced. The Opera Mini browser makes any device Internet savvy.
    --  The Opera Mobile browser gives you the whole of the moon on smartphones
        and tablets. The strange magic of HTML5? Check. Full, high fidelity web
        browsing? Check. Sharing the same Opera Presto browser engine found in
        Opera's desktop browser, the Opera Mobile browser is the premier option
        for fast, powerful browsing when on unlimited Internet data plans or
        Wi-Fi.

Availability

    --  The Opera Mini 6 browser brings the fireworks to J2ME, Android,
        BlackBerry and Symbian/S60 phones.
    --  The Opera Mobile 11 browser sings hallelujah on the Android, Symbian,
        Windows 7 desktop and MeeGo platforms.

What you waiting for? Walk this way with your mobile device: m.opera.com.

muvee Device Solutions Group Releases 3D Video Editing Technology for Android

Skips application for the PC; Becomes first to release 3D video editing technology for Android in the compressed domain

ORLANDO, Fla., March 22, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- CTIA App Pod #2895A -- muvee Device Solutions Group [DSG], the pioneer and leader in video editing applications for mobile devices, today announced the release of 3D video editing to accompany a suite of HD editing tools for Google's Android operating systems announced last month at Mobile World Congress.

muvee recently released CODEN (Compressed Domain Editing Engine), a technology stack that bypasses the need to decompress video before making basic edits. To add to this, muvee has now added enhancements to make this also work for 3D HD videos which could mean up to 2x the amount of video.  Now HD 720p video files in 3D can be edited while in a compressed state with the muvee application. 

"Consumers who shoot and share video on their mobile phones expect instant gratification," said Terence Swee, CEO, muvee.  "However, editing video has traditionally been a computationally expensive operation, given the large resolution and complex compression used.  By going the way of 3D, this problem doubles.  Using smart technologies like CODEN enable users to be able to quickly edit their 3D videos on device, bypassing the need to transfer to a PC."

muvee's announcement follows that of handset maker LG which recently released the LG Optimus 3D smartphone and tablet with user-friendly 3D capture and upload features.

"LG has been the first to announce the availability to record 3D-HD video on consumer mobile phones," Swee said.  "We believe this trend will continue in tandem with 3D TVs continuing their relentless march toward widespread adoption in the living room.  Making the CODEN stack usable for 3D video is valuable to the industry's efforts to promote user generated 3D content."

muvee's technology uses novel software techniques to accomplish all of the four basic video editing functions in a fraction of the time usually needed, and also requiring much less heap memory space on the phone.  This translates to a superior user experience and product differentiation without an increase in manufacturing costs to include more main memory and faster CPUs.  With muvee's new technology, now every camcorder phone is able to achieve this. Devices with dual-lens cameras for 3D video and image capture will be able to utilize muvee's 3D editing tool.

The HD video editing toolkit is now available for both feature phone and smartphone handset manufacturers and operators. For more information please visit http://devices.muvee.com/. Each of the four operations can be used to build separate applications or be licensed separately. They are also ready to be shipped as a complete video editing application immediately.

muvee Device Solutions Group was established in 2004 with the release of the world's first video editing application on Symbian mobile phones for Nokia (NYSE: NOK). In 2006, DSG delivered the world's first digital camera video editing application, Pictmotion for Nikon (TYO: 7731).

New 16 Channel Video Multiplexer With Real Time Refresh From CCTV Camera Pros

CCTV Camera Pros launches the new VM-16RT CCTV Video Multiplexer that is capable of real time video refresh on all 16 channels.

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla., March 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CCTV Camera Pros announces the availability of the new VM-16RT video multiplexer with real-time video refresh. The VM-16RT, also known as a CCTV video mux, can be used as a stand-alone processor to control the layout and configuration of screen output to a single monitor for up to 16 security cameras or other analog video devices.

This device can also be used as a video preprocessor for surveillance VCR recorders. The VM-16RT has two BNC video outputs and is compatible with both NTSC and PAL video formats. It is easy to switch video screen modes using the infrared wireless remote control that is included.

The VM-16RT multiplexer supports the following video display modes: 16 camera/channel grid, 9 camera/channel grid, 8 camera/channel grid, quad screen (4 camera view), split screen (dual camera view), single screen view (one camera), sequence rotation (where the screen scrolls between the cameras configured for a set amount of time that is also configurable), picture in picture mode (main channel and PIP channel is easily selected using the remote control), and dual PIP. The VM-16RT includes a power supply for the device and wireless remote control.

Commenting on the VM-16RT, CCTV Camera Pros managing partner Mike Haldas says, "CCTV Camera Pros is excited to offer the new VM-16RT. The VM-16RT provides an exceptional value by offering a real-time 16 channel processor at a price lower than most non-real time units on the market. CCTV Camera Pros sales engineers continue to find handy uses for video multiplexers in modern surveillance systems that have complex video display requirements that go beyond what a typical surveillance DVRs supports. We also find that some customers are using cameras only for live viewing, where no video recording is involved in the application. In addition to this, there is still a lot of VCR surveillance recorders deployed that need a replacement multiplexer when an existing one goes bad."

The VM-16RT is currently available from CCTV Camera Pros for $499.99. Please visit this page for more information about the VM-16RT and other CCTV video processors from CCTV Camera Pros: http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Video-Multiplexers-s/76.htm.
