Verizon Wireless 'COW' Offers Enhanced Coverage, Capacity for Penn State Football Fans

Cell on Wheels "Beefs" Up Network As Demand Grows for Calls, Email, Messaging, Web and Video During Games

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Sept. 2 -- Verizon Wireless has installed a temporary cell site--called a COW, or Cell On Wheels--near Penn State University's Beaver Stadium to provide additional network coverage and calling capacity just in time for football season. This service enhancement means that more customers can use the Verizon Wireless network concurrently to make calls or use data applications such as text, picture and video messaging during home football games.

"Penn State University's Beaver Stadium is the second-largest college stadium in the nation with a capacity for more than 107,000 fans, and home game attendance records are consistently being broken," said Mark Frazier-president, Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia Region, Verizon Wireless. "Our COW enables us to meet the increase in call and data volume during this football season and to continue to offer our customers the reliable network service they've come to expect."

The COW is a fully functional, generator-powered cell site, which has the same call capacity as a freestanding cell site. This network improvement is part of Verizon Wireless' continual effort to expand coverage, improve capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in Pennsylvania and throughout the country. These enhancements increase value to consumers who are increasingly relying on wireless devices to manage their busy lives and stay connected at home or on-the-go.

Since 2000, the company has invested more than $1.1 billion into its Pennsylvania network, including $185 million in 2009.  Nationally, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $60 billion since its inception to increase wireless voice and data coverage and add new services.

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable and largest wireless voice and 3G data network, serving more than 92 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 79,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ)(NASDAQ: VZ) and Vodafone (NASDAQ:VOD).

KingsIsle Entertainment Celebrates Two Incredible Years of Wizard101

PLANO, Texas, Sept. 2 -- Since its launch in September 2008, KingsIsle Entertainment's flagship game Wizard101 has become one of the most popular online destinations for family entertainment. Over the last two years Wizard101 has received critical acclaim as one of the best massively-multiplayer games on the market. Millions of players have discovered the mysteries of the Spiral, explored hundreds of hours of epic storyline, and joined to create a vibrant player community.

  (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100526/KINGSISLELOGO)

"When we launched Wizard101 two years ago, the team knew we had something very special on our hands," said Elie Akilian, chairman and CEO of KingsIsle Entertainment. "However, we believe that the success we've seen, while extraordinary, is just the beginning. The number of talented professionals working to bring great new content and capabilities to Wizard101 continues to grow. For everyone who loves and plays this game, it will just keep getting better."

In early Fall, the next chapter in the Wizard101 story will begin with the introduction of the world of Celestia, the game's largest and most ambitious expansion to date. In Celestia, Wizards will achieve new heights of power as they progress to level 60, discover extraordinary new spells, venture beneath the ocean and learn the deepest secrets of long-forgotten magic.

To promote the launch of the new world, later this month KingsIsle will launch a quest featuring one of the hottest teen icons on the planet. The quest, which will introduce players to new underwater environments and preview features of the upcoming Celestia expansion, will be available to all players in the game.

"Wizard101 raced past the 10-million player mark in June and continues to grow every day," said J. Todd Coleman, vice president and creative director of Wizard101. "This is an amazing time for KingsIsle, as Wizard101 seems to have hit a tipping point. With the upcoming launch of Celestia, the future looks incredibly exciting."

In Wizard101, kids and families enter the magical world of Wizard City as student Wizards setting out to hone their skills, cast spells and summon powerful creatures to fight evil forces. The characters and worlds of Wizard101 are influenced by literature, history and pop culture, giving the game a depth and quality appreciated by families and players of all ages.

Wizard101 can be downloaded at http://www.Wizard101.com.

New, Interactive Website CommonSpace Launched to Connect Philadelphia Friends to Social Fun, Seeks Consumer Input

Geographic Technology Discovers Local Treasures, Promotes Sustainability, Community-building and Environmental Responsibility http://commonspace.us

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2 -- On Thursday, September 2, 2010 a consortium of Philadelphia-based partners announced a new, beta interactive platform that encourages community-building and sustainability by exploring local, social fun in Philadelphia: http://commonspace.us/.  CommonSpace, a pilot program, is seeking consumer feedback for development from now until October 15, 2010 and encourages consumers to help "build" the system by testing CommonSpace and providing feedback at the site. The application's goal is to make it easy for users to find hidden treasures in local neighborhoods while connecting with friends through environmentally friendly transportation methods. To give feedback, users are encouraged to visit http://commonspace.us/ and click on the "Feedback" tab or take the online survey.

Borrowing from the urban planning concept of a "walkshed," the area that is accessible to pedestrians within a given time period, CommonSpace, which is currently exclusive to Philadelphia, enables users to calculate their personal "transit-shed" and find local activities and events within that area, while encouraging walking, biking and public transit.

The step-by-step application enables users to enter their location, their mode of transportation, the length of time they are willing to travel and preferred entertainment like restaurants, shows, cultural events or shopping.  By adding additional users at different starting locations, their modes of transportation and their travel times and entertainment interests, the application automatically calculates the common space for all people in a given group.  The application then displays an interactive map showing the social activities available in the users' common space.  Users can then add the destinations of their choice to a plan, which they can share with others via a hyperlink, or use to generate a Google Maps walking, biking or public transit route.

As an increasing number of communities promote more healthy lifestyles and sustainable environments, web tools like CommonSpace demonstrate how geographic technologies can help people make the most of the amenities around them.  CommonSpace assists to make communities healthier, as well as more socially and environmentally responsible.

"The application enables users to make social plans and have fun, but we also see CommonSpace as a new generation of applications that leverage publicly available geographic data in new ways to promote more accessible communities and help city dwellers discover local treasures that they might not otherwise have been aware of," said Robert Cheetham, Azavea's President and CEO.

The platform is built on a combination of OpenStreetMap data and transit data from SEPTA, the Philadelphia regional transit agency.  Azavea, an award-winning geospatial analysis (GIS) software company that designed CommonSpace, also used an experimental, next-generation version of its DecisionTree technology, code-named Trellis, in order to distribute the geographic data processing across many servers and enable the web site to respond quickly and support large numbers of visitors.  Once a user selects a starting address and mode of transit, tens of thousands of possible routes are mapped behind-the-scenes using transit and street data.  The results are generated on-the-fly and appear on a Google Maps base map.

CommonSpace may expand the application to more locations, incorporate additional data that impacts walkability, or create a smart-phone version. Current data providers include the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe Festival; Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance's Phillyfunguide.com; Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation's Uwishunu.com; Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia; and Yelp.com.  CommonSpace relies on data providers to make the site useful and relevant. The project will continue to seek unique local attractions and venues such as Philly Beer Week and neighborhood festivals to incorporate into the offerings, as well as solicit feedback and input from Philadelphians using the site to guide its future.

The website is the result of a partnership with the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia, NPower Pennsylvania, Azavea and the William Penn Foundation.

"We are excited about CommonSpace because it will help shoppers find new local businesses in their own backyards and plan their trips in a more sustainable way," said Leanne Krueger-Braneky, the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia's Executive Director.

About Azavea:  Azavea is an award-winning geospatial analysis (GIS) software development firm specializing in the creation of location-based web and mobile solutions, as well as geospatial analysis services to enhance decision-making. Azavea is committed to working on projects with a strong social value component in order to promote the emergence of more dynamic, vibrant, and sustainable communities. Each of Azavea's projects, products and pro bono engagements showcases this commitment. Azavea is a certified B Corporation. For more information, visit http://www.azavea.com

Leave the Car, Take the Concierge with You: Mercedes-Benz Launches New Version of mbrace Mobile Application

Mercedes Continues to Innovate with New Convenience and Location-Based Services

MONTVALE, N.J., Sept. 2 -- As consumers increasingly turn to mobile devices to manage their lives from wherever they are, Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) has introduced an upgraded version of its mbrace telematics platform that connects the in-car navigation system in its vehicles with drivers' iPhones. Developed by its partner Hughes Telematics, Inc. (HTI), the new mbrace Mobile Application version 2.0 allows Mercedes-Benz customers to take their mbrace services with them when they leave their vehicles.  Mercedes-Benz is the first manufacturer to extend connected services in this way.

  (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100806/NY47302LOGO )

The mbrace Mobile Application version 2.0 builds on the automotive industry's first fully integrated smartphone application which was launched by Mercedes-Benz and HTI in November 2009. That application allows customers to use their phones to unlock their vehicles, locate their vehicles in crowded parking lots, and find nearby or preferred dealers among other services. Version 2.0 includes all of those features and also allows customers to seamlessly access Mercedes-Benz Concierge services while away from the vehicle. The concierge can access the caller's location information to deliver relevant entertainment recommendations, restaurant locations, directions, traffic updates and more. Requested destination information can then be sent directly from the concierge to an in-vehicle navigation system.

The new application also allows users to save multiple accounts in the log-in screen and assign nicknames, making it simple and quick to access multiple mbrace accounts from one device.

"Version 2.0 of the mbrace Mobile Application takes the convenience and connectivity of mbrace further than ever before, allowing customers to access connected services anywhere, anytime," said Sascha Simon, who heads up advanced product planning for MBUSA.  "Imagine you're away from your car talking on your iPhone to Mercedes-Benz Concierge. The agent can provide you with a great restaurant suggestion and simultaneously send the destination both to your iPhone and into your car.  That's what makes the system so great: the flexible architecture allows us to continually add new features as mobile technology evolves, keeping us on the cutting edge of innovation and connected services for our customers. This latest mobile application is a perfect example of that, and we will continue to add more features and connectivity on an ongoing basis."

In addition to the new mobile concierge service, Roadside Assistance on the iPhone also has been enhanced with the mbrace Mobile Application version 2.0 so that when a call is initiated, the customer's location information is transmitted to the Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance Center, allowing for more efficient and accurate service in the time of need.  In instances when the vehicle may not be accessible, may not have power, or is in an unknown location, the mobile application allows Mercedes-Benz to help their customers by pinpointing exactly where to send assistance.

As the first automaker to offer a mobile application truly integrated with the vehicle, MBUSA continues to be an industry leader in bringing new connected technology to market. For customers on-the-go, the mbrace Mobile Application provides simple and seamless connectivity to the ever-expanding set of Mercedes-Benz mbrace services.

"Mercedes-Benz mbrace was designed as a platform for continuous innovation," said Erik Goldman, president, HTI.  "The release of mbrace Mobile Application version 2.0 extends new services beyond the vehicle, giving Mercedes-Benz customers the freedom to seamlessly enjoy personalized service even when they're not in the driver's seat.  We look forward to working with Mercedes to continue expansion of the mbrace Mobile Application service and feature set, enabling enhanced connectivity and interaction between the mobile device and vehicle."

NAVTEQ First to Give Navigation a 'Human Touch'

NAVTEQ Natural Guidance(TM) enables navigation directions everyone can relate to

BERLIN, Sept. 2 -- NAVTEQ, the leading global provider of maps, traffic and location data enabling navigation, location-based services and mobile advertising around the world today launched a new product that promises to materially change the way navigation systems and applications interact with end users. NAVTEQ Natural Guidance(TM) breaks new ground by enabling guidance the way humans provide directions to each other--through the use of descriptive reference cues.

Launched at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, NAVTEQ Natural Guidance leapfrogs today's linear navigation instructions--e.g. 'turn right in 50 meters on Kurfuerstendamm--by guiding the way humans instruct each other, through descriptions of orientation points such as distinctive points of interest and landmarks--e.g. 'turn right after the yellow shop" or 'turn right at the traffic signal.'  Research shows consumers desire more intuitive and practical directions because it is easier to follow and allows the user to keep their eyes on the road. NAVTEQ Natural Guidance enables applications to use recognizable and easily understandable points of reference close to the decision point to highlight the next maneuver.

"Natural Guidance provides the kind of directions we crave as humans," said Tiffany Treacy, NAVTEQ senior vice president of product management. "It challenges the man-machine status quo of how navigation systems have worked for years by finally enabling the kind of guidance that sounds like it's coming from a friend who is riding along with you.  This is a revolutionary first step toward more natural and ultimately more personalized experiences."

Over the past 25 years, NAVTEQ has continually strived to create content specific to navigation that elevates the user experience.  Only as an expert and innovative leader in the navigation industry, was NAVTEQ able to create a product that translates user experiences into data and data models that allow applications to generate humanized guidance.  NAVTEQ Natural Guidance also employs a variety of importance criteria to help optimize when and how the guidance is presented to consumers.  Reference cues can look very different--or be partially or fully obscured--depending on such factors as: which direction the user is approaching, the size of the reference object (a cathedral vs. a corner pub), or whether it is winter or summer (when trees might block the visibility).

NAVTEQ Natural Guidance is currently available for Berlin, Chicago, National Capital Region of Delhi, London, Los Angeles, New York, Munich and Paris with aggressive expansion plans to add more cities throughout Europe, North America and Asia Pacific by the end of 2011.

NAVTEQ will showcase NAVTEQ Natural Guidance at both a NAVTEQ sponsored press event, where key findings from NAVTEQ's proprietary research will be shared, as well as at the IFA Showstoppers Event on 2nd September.

Intergraph® Unveils Support for Gas Distribution Integrity Management Programs

Intergraph's geospatially-powered applications enable gas companies to maintain pipeline safety and security and comply with U.S. government regulations

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Sept. 2 -- Intergraph®, a leader in geospatially-powered technology for utilities infrastructure and operations management, has launched a new solution for distribution integrity management programs (DIMP) to help gas distribution companies maintain safe, secure infrastructure and meet new U.S. government requirements.

  (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081211/DECLOGO )

Gas distribution companies must develop and implement formal DIMP plans by August 2011 as required by the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). Intergraph's seamless framework of industry-tailored field automation, infrastructure management and Web portal technologies supported by in-depth consulting expertise enables gas distribution companies to monitor, maintain and report on distribution integrity as required under the new PHMSA regulations.

"With so many factors affecting gas pipeline integrity, from corrosion, natural forces, excavation, material or equipment failure to incorrect operations, it is critical for gas companies to obtain detailed intelligence on all of their assets and possible threats to ensure reliability and to keep employees, customers and the general public safe," said Jay Stinson, vice president of Utilities & Communications at Intergraph. "Through a comprehensive range of industry-specific technologies and experience, Intergraph can ease the information gathering and reporting process for any gas distribution company in the country, regardless of the systems it is currently using, as well as improve management and maintenance efficiency."

Intergraph gas solutions streamline network management and operations to boost the reliability, integrity, safety, efficiency and security of networks and data. Using Intergraph field automation and mobile workforce management solutions, gas distributors can streamline the field data collection and inspection processes to more efficiently monitor the network and assess threats. Intergraph utilities technology also enables field personnel to maintain seamless communication and easy information exchange with the back office.

Intergraph infrastructure management technology can also play a key role in establishing and maintaining effective DIMP procedures. Intergraph's open, scalable gas infrastructure management system simplifies and reduces the costs associated with the storage, maintenance and management of geospatial asset records and makes the information readily available for a variety of applications. Out of the box, the system contains a data model that fully supports the management of a gas distribution network and contains the attributes necessary to support DIMP data collection and analysis.

Alongside field automation and infrastructure management technology, the Intergraph Enterprise Web Portal provides simple, real-time access to disparate data from a wide variety of sources through a standard Web browser. The spatially-enabled visualization, analysis and reporting application combines GIS, mapping and location-specific data to provide organizations with a comprehensive view of their networks for more informed decision making and detailed, accurate reporting in support of core business objectives such as DIMP.

Further information on the Intergraph DIMP solution can be found at: http://www.intergraph.com/sgi/downloads.aspx?assetid=144.

NAVTEQ Traffic.com Helps Millions of Labor Day Weekend Drivers Avoid Jams

Free Services Provide Information on Shortest Routes, Accidents and Construction

CHICAGO, Sept. 2 -- NAVTEQ, the leading global provider of maps, traffic and location data enabling navigation, location-based services and mobile advertising around the world, will help on-the-go drivers with access to NAVTEQ Traffic.com® content available through the web and mobile phones, making it faster and easier to obtain traffic-dodging tips for the Labor Day holiday weekend.

NAVTEQ Traffic.com delivers detailed information about road construction, traffic speeds and incidents such as accidents at http://www.traffic.com, and also enables wireless transmission directly to cell phones, allowing drivers to make better routing and re-routing decisions.

With millions of drivers on the road, you are unlikely to get through Labor Day weekend without any traffic delays, particularly if you are visiting one of the more popular destinations in your area. That doesn't mean, however, that you have to suffer through endless traffic jams. Here's how to avoid the worst of it:

Go early or stay late.

There's less traffic early in the morning or late at night, particularly on the Fridays and Monday's of holiday weekends. Just be sure you are well rested before driving late at night.

Travel on the off days.

The worst holiday traffic is on the Friday and Monday evenings. If possible, take a day off and shift your weekend up, or back, a day

Think safety before speed.

The most certain way to slow down your Labor Day trip is to get in an accident. Don't try to make up for lost time by driving recklessly, and don't drive after drinking. Last year, 40% of all Labor Day weekend accidents were caused by drunk drivers*.

  Be traffic savvy with NAVTEQ Traffic.com.
  --  Hit traffic on the road? Access http://mobi.traffic.com/, free of
      charge, from your mobile phone. It will show you where the traffic is,
      and how to work around it.  It's the mobile web version of NAVTEQ's
      real-time traffic alert system with coverage in 52 US city areas. You
      pick your city from a drop down and then choose a highway from a paged
      list or click "Hotspots" to see the 10 most congested roads in your
      metro. NAVTEQ Traffic.com uses a nifty and intuitive thermometer
      graphic called the JamFactor® to show the relative congestion on each
      road. You can drill down into a particular highway and see average and
      slowest speed, delay in minutes and incident reports.
  --  Save 1-866-MY-TRAFC (1-866-698-7232) to a phone favorites list before
      leaving home. This free hotline provides speed dial access to NAVTEQ
      Traffic.com--ideal for avoiding heavy traffic, construction, and
      accidents on your long weekend trip.
  --  Send a SMS text message to get real-time traffic information for city
      hotspots. Simply text your CITY CODE, (NY, CHIC, PHL, LA, etc.) to
      TRAFC (87232). City codes can be found at
      http://bhelp.traffic.com/city-codes-used-for-sms.
  --  You can use the "Check Your Drive Time" feature at http://www.traffic.com.
      Just type in where you are and where you want to go, and it will show
      you the fastest route based on real-time traffic data.  You can even
      set up an alternate route, in advance, using the interactive traffic
      map.

Yota Deploys Most Significant 4G Network to Date

LONDON, September 2, 2010--

    - Russian Wireless Broadband Company Yota Builds New Citywide Network in
Kazan in Just Two Months

    - Pilot Scheme Launched With Showcase of Next Generation Wireless
Internet Services

    Yota, the wireless broadband company from Russia, has deployed its latest
fourth generation (4G) network in Kazan, capital city of the Republic of
Tatarstan - having installed the citywide network in just two months.

    The network trial was launched with a number of live demonstrations
proving wireless broadband speeds of up to 100mps (megabytes per second - in
a lab environment) and a suite of next generation wireless services such as
live 3D-video conferencing and full HD video streaming. Yota has invested $20
million in building the Kazan network, which covers the city's whole
population of over one million people with 147 base stations. Kazan is
Russia's third city and host to the Universiade (the world university games)
in 2013.

    In his address at the launch ceremony Yota CEO, Dennis Sverdlov, said:
"Today not only marks a success for Yota, but serves as a milestone in the
delivery of next generation wireless services that will transform the way
people live and do business".

    Sverdlov added "Yota is already expanding fast and deploying the latest
4G networks across a number of emerging markets worldwide. These particular
markets are not hindered by the complexities of upgrading existing
technologies, and don't have any legacy of 3G premiums. As a result we will
soon see these countries leapfrog the more developed Western economies when
it comes to wireless broadband services".

    Yota has invested $500m to date in the development of its latest
generation 4G network covering seven cities in Russia and Nicaragua with more
coming soon.

    Sverdlov joined Nikolay Nikiforov, the Deputy Prime Minister of the
Republic of Tatarstan and the Minister of Information and Communications of
the Republic of Tatarstan to demonstrate to the media and public how the
latest 4G technologies can change everyday life. Examples included:

   
    - Integrated emergency services - integration of emergency security and
      healthcare services to enable improved monitoring and management and
      optimise response times

    - The future of education - live wireless streamed 3D lessons with lesson
      plans and multimedia content to improve educational opportunities for
      remote communities

    - Improved healthcare services - remote access to patients' medical
      records for healthcare professionals on the move allowing improved
      emergency response; virtual appointments via video call for patients in
      remote communities

    - Public transport - live streamed video monitoring of the public
      transport network for improved security

    - Full HD streaming - wireless streaming of full HD (1080p) video

    - Speed tests up to 100mbps in a lab environment (with only one device
      running per sector)

    Yota symbolizes a new generation in Russian innovation that stands to
reshape the telecommunications market worldwide. Since commercial launch only
14 months ago, Yota already has almost 600,000 customers and recently
reported 2010 half-year results of $66m. Yota runs successful operations in
Russia and Nicaragua and will soon launch its services across Belarus and
Peru.

    Notes to editors

    About Yota - http://www.yota.ru

new customers every day and plans to expand its network to cover more than 25
million people by the end of 2010.

in five Russian cities in 2010 with Moscow and Saint-Petersburg following in

Jentla Launches First Global Accreditation Program for Joomla

Open-Source software products launch global standardisation model

BRISBANE, Australia, Sept. 2 -- Jentla, the online platform based on Joomla open source, has started works on the first global Software Development Accreditation program to acknowledge the maturity of Joomla and the Jentla suite.

Developers will be able to gain the Jentla Certified endorsement, based on Joomla, the widely accepted open-source content management system (CMS). Accreditation to the Jentla Software Certification program provides developers and end-user organisations around the world with standardised product and service quality assurance.

Both Jentla and Joomla have gained widespread international adoption by public and private sector organisations. The Jentla web platform, an enterprise layer based on Joomla, provides a strong, flexible engine for building agile multi-site web properties, such as video, e-commerce, internet and intranets through its Jentla N, Jentla E, and Jentla V products.

To qualify for the Jentla Software Certification, developers will install and run the certification testing tool within their Joomla site. The freely downloadable tool will detect all Joomla extensions and run it's code quality and security tests automatically.

Jentla has dedicated five software developers to administer the certification process. Andrew Eddie, Joomla Founder and Joomla Production Leadership Team member is designing and documenting the certification tests and Jentla is building the certification process. The code quality and security tests will be available in September and further enhancements in late October.

"Joomla and Jentla have deep roots in Queensland that demonstrate tangibly that Aussie products can achieve global uptake in a very short period of time," said Andrew Eddie. "This is an absolute milestone for Jentla, and sends a great message out to the market about the maturity and adoption of Joomla, and the Jentla suite of products."

"Open source products have really come of age, due in part to technology maturation, and in part to the economic downturn which accelerated the adoption of affordable open source products. These trends combined have fuelled the success of Jentla over the past year, we've doubled in size and won significant global deals," said Damian Hickey, CEO and Founder of Jentla. "Consequently, we launched the Jentla Software Certification program to award official merit to Joomla extension developers and create the level of quality assurance our larger customers expect from their web CMS."

For more information about the Jentla Software Certification program see http://www.jentla.com/products certification.html

About Jentla

Established in 2005, Jentla provides an open-source based internet services platform and works with international publishing, education, health, government and media companies.

Global Qi Standard Powers Up Wireless Charging

First Qi products are certified in 100 million units annual growth market

HONG KONG, Sept. 2 -- The Wireless Power Consortium (the Consortium) today launched the Qi 1.0 standard which enables consumer electronic brands and device manufacturers to bring interoperable wireless inductive charging devices to market. The Consortium also announced today the first products certified with Qi.

  (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090817/NY62082LOGO )
  (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090817/NY62082LOGO )

Qi ensures interoperability between Qi devices from different companies to power and charge on any Qi charging station. The Consortium views interoperability as a key growth driver for the wireless charging market. Qi interoperability reduces the risk of market fragmentation with incompatible products, scaling up the market for wireless battery charging from 100,000 units to 100,000,000 units annually.

By bringing simplicity and convenience to users, Qi triggers a projected 70-fold expansion of the wireless charging market by 2014.* Qi empowers mobile phone manufacturers to integrate wireless power receivers, the semiconductor industry to incorporate the functionality into their chip sets, and infrastructure providers to build chargers in homes, offices, automobiles, hotels and furniture.

"Qi can now be integrated into products. All ingredients for growing the market are now on the table," said Menno Treffers, Chairman of the Wireless Power Consortium. "It took us only 18 months to develop the Qi standard, and less than one month to see the first products certified. Qi is now the industry's choice for wireless power."

The more than 55 members of the Wireless Power Consortium include industry leaders in mobile phones, consumer electronics, batteries, semiconductors, components and wireless power technology. As part of its roadmap, the Consortium now starts work on a wireless power standard for medium power devices including netbooks, laptops, tablet computers, and power tools.

"Wireless charging has great potential to make charging easier for consumers," said Petri Vuori, Director, Mobile Solutions R&D, Nokia. "For full user benefit, a standard ensuring cross-compatibility between different manufacturers' products is required. Qi low power standard specification release 1.0 is a significant milestone into this direction. Nokia continues to support open standards approach by supporting development of Qi."

"We believe that a universal standard is the future of charging and unquestionably beneficial to both consumers and manufacturers. By leading the way with one of the first Qi products - the Energizer® Inductive Charger - we are committed to bringing consumers this next generation technology that makes charging devices easier by eliminating cords and clutter," said Jim Olsen, VP of Marketing, Energizer. "Our new charger is a natural extension of an innovative product portfolio that brings more freedom for people to live and work using power that's reliable and convenient. It is launching this fall, along with a Qi sleeve for the iPhone 3GS/3G and a Qi door for the Blackberry® Curve(TM) 8900, so consumers can enjoy the convenience of Qi now, while looking forward to when Qi is built right into their devices."

"Sanyo has developed battery packs with wireless power system without making any change in designs and aspects of existing mobile devices, and developed transmitters equipped with user-friendly free-positioning function which enables mobile devices to be charged no matter where they are placed on the pad," said Shoichi Toya, general manager of charging system division, SANYO Electric Co., Ltd.

"The release of the Qi standard is an important step to foster and to accelerate the market adoption of this new, exciting feature which will further simplify the usage of mobile devices in our daily life," said Joel Huloux, Head of Standards & Industry Alliances at ST-Ericsson. "ST-Ericsson supports Qi in its ongoing product and platform development and plans to launch first devices to the market next year."

"Leggett & Platt is the infrastructure provider of the primary, or charging side, of the wireless power system to the OEM's of the office, residential, hospitality, commercial vehicles and automotive markets," said LeRoy Johnson, Senior Director of Emerging Technologies for Leggett & Platt. "The release of the Qi 1.0 standard brings the use of consumer electronics to a new level of convenience and real time use to these markets. We have product already tooled and ready for launch after our Qi compliance testing is completed."

"With the standardization of the transmit/receive function for wireless charging systems, National Semiconductor and our partner, Sanyo Electric, can move forward and develop customized, Qi compliant battery power designs for contactless handset charging systems," said Keith Sanders, Director for National Semiconductor's Mobile Devices Power Business Unit. "This first step undertaken by the Wireless Power Consortium provides systems manufacturers and OEMs with a specification that will ensure compatibility between all Qi certified products, ensuring consumer confidence in the interoperability of their devices."

"Duracell talks to consumers to learn more about their needs, and they've told us that the convenience and efficiency of wireless power transfer has the potential to simplify their lives," said Dan McCarthy, Duracell Brand Franchise Leader. "Duracell is dedicated to helping people live life without limits, and being able to charge key devices wirelessly is a freedom consumers want to enjoy. Working with the members of the Wireless Power Consortium is one way Duracell is collaborating with the industry to build wireless solutions that will help shape this new category."

"Qi breaks through to that magical 'SIMPLE' in powering and charging electronics worldwide," said Camille Tang, President, ConvenientPower. "ConvenientPower's first wave of Qi products will be in the market September 2010 and is a milestone in ConvenientPower's drive to create a new global ecosystem of products and services through innovative technology leadership."

"Fulton Innovation has been working with wireless power for more than a decade through our eCoupled technology and we're proud to have played a significant role in helping develop version 1.0 of the Qi standard," said Dave Baarman, Director Advanced Technologies for Fulton Innovation. "Full interoperability between low-power device manufacturers and infrastructure OEMs worldwide is now a reality.  We look forward to continuing our work with fellow WPC members in developing the next generation of universal wireless power solutions."

"As an interoperable standard, Qi will have profound impact on the user experience of wireless power," said Patrick Heyer, Manager of TI's Charge Management Product Line. "This will enable the consumers to conveniently charge or power their electronic devices wherever they go, without having to worry about various power cords and adaptors. Texas Instruments is committed to support the standard by offering leading edge solutions to the OEMs."

"Global industry standards facilitate interoperability and often create mass market appeal for new products. USB, GSM, DVB and WiFi are examples of such successful universal standards. As the standard for wireless charging, Qi stimulates the growth of affordable products in the same way and is the most easy to use and versatile solution for our customers," said Eddy Odijk, Vice President Standardization at Philips.

TechNet Statement on FCC Extension of Open Internet Proceeding

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 -- TechNet, the bipartisan political network of CEOs that promotes the growth of the innovation economy, today released the following statement from President and CEO Rey Ramsey regarding the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) announcement of a 30 day comment period extension regarding the issue of open internet discussions:

"In just a few short years, the Internet's growth has been truly astonishing.  In the United States today there are more than 2 billion daily Internet searches -  20 times more than just ten years ago; roughly 250 billion daily emails vs. 12 billion then; and 10 billion iTunes downloads today and 150 million Facebook users compared to zero ten years ago.  All told, the average American spends roughly 18 hours a week online.

"The Internet has transformed the way we work, play, communicate, learn and so much more.  It has helped people from Iran, China and beyond share their stories of oppression and pleas for assistance across the world. And it has brought us closer together. In fact, according to Harvard Business School, nearly one in five of all marriages today in the U.S. are the result of a bride and groom meeting online.

"As Americans -- the people who created and invested in this incredibly dynamic system - it is vitally important that we get the policies right when it comes to ensuring the Internet continues to flourish.  The most integral of those policies is preserving an open Internet (also known as "network neutrality") that ensures continued innovation, freedom of expression, commerce and investment.

"In recent months, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), industry stakeholders, academics, public advocacy groups and individuals have participated in the ongoing debate about how to protect an open Internet.  Many different parties have characterized these talks in a variety of different ways but we believe there has been important progress made in an incredibly complex series of issues.  We commend the parties for their dedication to this process because there has been much progress in achieving agreement about the need for an open Internet that does not block, discriminate or prioritize content and applications and is reasonably and transparently managed.  But there is still more work to be done - especially in the context of how to manage the relationship between these open Internet principles and other services offered in the last mile or over mobile wireless devices.

"The FCC has now announced that the agency is seeking further public comment on issues related to 'specialized' services and mobile broadband.  They have set a 30-day comment period in this important matter.

"We believe this extension of time shows both wisdom and humility. There is no quick and easy answer to these complex challenges and there should not be a rush to a conclusion before a strong consensus is reached.  This extension also recognizes the important reality that in both the short- and long-term, technologies change and that some level of evolutionary flexible rulemaking is required.

"Again, this pause for a deep breath is needed to get this framework done right. This infrastructure will define our nation's future.  At stake in this debate are valued consumer protections, innovation, investment, and future growth opportunity.

"TechNet supports the growth and vitality of a safe, secure and open Internet, and smart public policies that deliver consumer access to Internet content and services via next generation broadband deployment.

"Now let's all take a deep breath, roll up our sleeves and get this right."

About TechNet:

TechNet is the national, bipartisan network of CEOs that promotes the growth of technology industries and the economy by building long-term relationships between technology leaders and policymakers and by advocating a targeted policy agenda. TechNet's members represent more than one million employees in the fields of information technology, clean energy, biotechnology, e-commerce and finance.
