Now Available in the Netherlands, Russia,Dubaiand at Airports Around the World

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 13, 2016 /CNW/ - Lumigon announces the launch of the T3 smartphone, integrating minimalistic Scandinavian design with durable steel exterior and innovative features such as a night vision camera and the innovative BackTouch technology, so far never seen before in mobile phones.

"We wanted to create a new smartphone that reflects our design philosophy," says Lumigon CEO Lars Gravesen. "The glass and steel used in the T3 are extremely durable, but that doesn't mean sacrificing the look and feel of the phone. In fact, it provides a great balance between design, premium materials, innovation and technology."

In addition to the classic versions, the T3 is also available in a gold edition with four different models, to fulfil the needs of customers who like it a little more extraordinary.

Innovative design, inside and out

The exterior of T3 is crafted from molybdenum 316 stainless steel, whose strength and high resistance is known from the boat industry. This durability is further enhanced with scratch and damage resistant glass. Both the front and back of the phone are of Corning® Gorilla® Glass to help ensure the 4.8" HD Super AMOLED Diamond display is not spoiled by screen cracks. These robust materials were carefully selected and precisely crafted to create a dust and water-resistant phone that can withstand daily use, while retaining the sleek design of an exclusive product.

These details extend to the interior, which is powered by an ultra-fast 2.2 GHz 64 bit 8-core processor with 3 GB RAM running Android(TM) 6.0, making this smartphone run smooth and fast. Lars Gravesen continues, "In a world with such huge demands for data, we wanted to give our customers enough capacity that will make users hardly run out of space, thus we decided to launch the T3 with 128 GB internal memory as standard."

Being a truly versatile device, the T3 also features a 4G Dual Nano SIM slot allowing the use of two SIM cards simultaneously. These can be hot-swapped without shutting down the phone, allowing for exceptional agility on the go.

Perfect picture- day and night

The T3 comes with three cameras and provides high quality photography regardless of time of day or lighting conditions. The 4K HD camera takes ultra-sharp photos while the advanced Phase Detection Autofocus find its focus point instantly. The 2K HD front camera with innovative FrontFlash allows for perfect selfies even in dark environments. The mirror in combination with the FrontFlash turns this phone to a gadget that the ladies will find very handy when fixing their makeup on the go.

The T3 is the first smartphone in the world to have a 2K HD Night Vision camera that can capture photos and videos even in total darkness.

BackTouch

The innovative BackTouch technology enables to scroll content on the display from the back of the phone and is very convenient when taking selfies as the user just needs to tap on the BackTouch. This brand new feature introduces easy one-handed navigation and improved swiping and scrolling capabilities.

Secured

T3 has cutting-edge security and interface features. The 360° ceramic fingerprint reader provides added security along with Lumigon's unique Vault feature that lets the user store private and confidential information on the phone. The data within the Vault is secure and encrypted with AES 256-bit algorithm.

Make it Your Way

T3 is provided in three classic colours, black, white and orange as well as the exclusive series, like the elegant 24-karat gold in four different models. Users can then show their individual looks, while those who want to experience the next level of luxury can leave their mark with a personal engraving.

Mr Gravesen says, "The T3 was created for users who want something different and want to stand out from the crowd."

"To me," he continues, "Danish design reflects craftsmanship, simplicity and real-life functionality, taking high-quality materials and combining them with innovative features to create a clean premium product. That was the design mindset that brought us to the creation of the T3 smartphone."

Availability

The T3 is available for purchase at the Lumigon web shop and at selected dealers worldwide at a price starting from EUR 645/DKK 4799 for the stainless steel versions with 128 GB internal memory. The sales box also includes a stainless steel designer headset created from quality materials and with precision in every detail.

Superhuman Hearing, Virtual Reality And Livestreaming Highlight Turtle Beach's 2016 Holiday Lineup

Turtle Beach Delivers a True Competitive Advantage to Gamers by Adding Superhuman Hearing to Additional Products, and Driving Audio Innovation into VR and Livestreaming Markets

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Holiday 2016 portfolio from Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR), a leading audio technology company for over 40 years, sees the company adding its exclusive Superhuman Hearing(TM) audio setting to additional key products, as well as entering two burgeoning new markets in Virtual Reality (VR) and Livestreaming.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161013/428266

"Holiday 2016 is here and Turtle Beach has our strongest and most expansive holiday product portfolio ever," said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. "We continue to develop and deliver innovative products that provide gamers with cutting-edge features and fantastic gaming experiences with high-quality audio. This year we've added Superhuman Hearing to more Turtle Beach headsets so more players can immerse themselves in their games and gain a true competitive advantage through better audio, and now we're also elevating the audio experience for gamers stepping into VR, as well as those looking to take their livestreaming to the next level."

In late September, Turtle Beach launched the all-new STEALTH 520 and STEALTH 420X+ gaming headsets for PlayStation(®)4 and Xbox One (respectively), each one a significant feature upgrade to their prior best-selling STEALTH 500P and STEALTH 420X models. Headlining the STEALH 520 and STEALTH 420X+'s new features is Turtle Beach's exclusive Superhuman Hearing audio setting which gives players the competitive advantage by allowing them to hear soft sounds like enemy footsteps sneaking-up from behind, or a nearby enemy reloading their weapon around a corner just before an ambush, or a vehicle off in the distance bringing in reinforcements. Superhuman Hearing can also be found in other Turtle Beach gaming headsets, including the ELITE PRO TOURNAMENT GAMING HEADSET and ELITE PRO TACTICAL AUDIO CONTROLLER (T.A.C.), and the PX24 which is one of the best-selling gaming headsets for PS4(TM).

Beyond arming gamers with Superhuman Hearing so they can hear everything and defeat everyone, Holiday 2016 also has Turtle Beach leading the charge into two new categories - VR and Livestreaming.

In early October Turtle Beach launched the STEALTH 350VR as the first gaming headset specifically designed to be used with the latest VR devices, including PlayStation(®)VR, PS4 Pro and PS4, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive(TM). Audio is half the VR experience, and Turtle Beach's STEALTH 350VR headset takes VR gaming audio from good to amazing with features including large 50mm over-ear speakers, 30+ hour battery-powered amplification, accurate 3D surround sound reproduction, Variable Bass Boost, and a lightweight, ergonomic "built for VR" design that provides extra clearance for VR headbands and cables. There's no other VR gaming headset that competes with the features, functionality and price of Turtle Beach's STEALTH 350VR, so if VR is something you're looking at for the holidays, be sure to get the complete VR experience by having amazing audio.

Last but not least is livestreaming. The past few years have seen livestreaming take a massive foothold in gaming, where content creators are actively livestreaming everything from competitive matches for their fans to enjoy to video walkthroughs and tutorials on Twitch and YouTube. This Sunday, October 23, 2016, Turtle Beach will launch the all-new STREAM MIC - a first-of-its-kind professional desktop microphone created for gamers streaming from their consoles. With the STREAM MIC, players can now livestream gameplay directly from their Xbox One, as well as from PS4 Pro and PS4, PC and Mac thanks to universal plug-and-play compatibility.

Available at USD $399 and CAD $549 (Suggested Retail Price)

Along with a Large and Diverse Lineup of Games and VR Experiences

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Interactive Entertainment America (SIEA) today launched PlayStation®VR (PS VR), a virtual reality system for the PlayStation®4 (PS4(TM)) system that takes gaming to the next level of immersion and transports players into the virtual worlds of their games.  Concurrent with the global launch, PS VR is now available in the United States and Canada at a suggested retail price of USD $399 and CAD $549 respectively.  PS VR, which is compatible with the more than 40 million PS4 systems already inside consumers' homes, arrives with a lineup of 30 games, including exclusive titles such as Rez Infinite (Monstars & Enhance Games), Batman(TM): Arkham VR (RockSteady and Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment), DRIVECLUB VR and RIGS Mechanized Combat League (SIE Worldwide Studios).  In total, PS VR will have a library of approximately 50 games by the end of the year.*(1)

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20020701/SFM066LOGO

"I am beyond excited that today we are finally able to bring PlayStation VR and the brand new gaming experiences enabled by this new medium into the homes of PS4 fans," said Shawn Layden, President of SIEA and Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios.  "We believe PS VR has the power to make VR gaming a reality for the mainstream, and the impact that PS VR will have on the future of both games and entertainment will be transformative.  I cannot wait for gamers to experience it for themselves."

PS VR delivers a sense of presence, where players feel as though they are physically inside the virtual world of a game.  PS VR leverages state-of-the-art technologies, such as 360 degree head tracking, wide field of view, high refresh rates, and SIE's own binaural 3D audio technology, to heighten the emotions gamers experience as they play and make them believe they've been transported to another world.  By using peripherals such as PlayStation®Move Motion Controller, DUALSHOCK®4 Wireless Controller and the upcoming PS VR Aim Controller, players can explore virtual environments and intuitively interact with characters as if they are actually present in the world of a game.

PS VR integrates a "Social Screen" feature that allows users who are not wearing the VR headset to see on the TV what the PS VR player is seeing in the headset, or to play alongside the VR player in supporting games.  Games such as THE PLAYROOM VR (SIE WWS), which will be available as a free download to all PS VR owners, take advantage of this feature and demonstrate how PS VR can create unique multiplayer experiences when shared with friends and family.

PS VR will launch with a large and diverse lineup of first- and third-party games including EVE: Valkyrie (CCP Games), Thumper (Drool), 100ft Robot Golf (No Goblin), Job Simulator (Owlchemy Games), Superhypercube (Polytron), Battlezone (Rebellion), Eagle Flight (Ubisoft), Here They Lie(TM), PlayStation®VR WORLDS and Until Dawn(TM): Rush of Blood (SIE WWS).

With more than 230 developers and publishers(*2) working on PS VR titles, the system's games portfolio will continue to expand after launch with highly anticipated games including RESIDENT EVIL® 7 biohazard (Capcom Co., Ltd), ROBINSON: THE JOURNEY(TM) (Crytek), Star Wars(TM) Battlefront(TM) Rogue One: X-wing VR Mission (Electronic Arts Inc.)(*3), Star Trek: Bridge Crew (Ubisoft) and Farpoint (SIE WWS).

Intermedia Increases Profitability for Partners with the Addition of White Labeling for Private Cloud Deployments

Enables the channel to scale with Intermedia's fully managed, white-labeled private cloud deployments and Office in the Cloud(TM) suite

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/-- Intermedia, a leading cloud business applications provider, today adds Private Cloud deployments to its white-label partner model. Now, Intermedia's more than 6,000 active partners can offer each customer the most appropriate cloud deployment model - public or private - while maintaining complete control of their valued relationships.

"There's no 'one configuration fits all' approach to the cloud. We bring the skills and the know-how partners need to be successful with designing and executing cloud deployments," said Irina Shamkova, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Intermedia. "We've always provided multi-tenant public cloud deployments, and now we are expanding our private cloud investments because of the opportunity it presents to our partners and customers. Private Cloud is a rapidly growing market and a huge opportunity for MSPs. By letting partners sell Private Cloud under their own brand and pricing, we are helping them differentiate from other providers as prospects look to customize and scale their cloud-based workloads."

How Intermedia helps partners sell Private Cloud
According to IDC, the hosted private cloud market, which amounted to $8.9 billion in 2014, is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 35.4 percent to reach $40.6 billion in 2019(1).

Private Cloud demonstrates an abundant opportunity for the channel. However, resource constraints can hold MSPs back from offering them. While many businesses outsource the cloud deployment completely to the MSP, but with Intermedia that's not the case. Under Intermedia's Private Label model, MSPs keep control over their customer relationships, while letting Intermedia's experts help close the deal, in addition to handling customer deployment and management. In other words, Intermedia helps partners focus on scaling their cloud businesses by handling the customer onboarding and migration process for them.

Driving greater account volume with the Private Label Reseller (PLR) model
Private Cloud joins other core Intermedia applications under the Private Label model such as Exchange email and SecuriSync(®) backup and file sharing. Now partners have the flexibility to offer each customer the most appropriate cloud environment and applications, without worrying about staffing limitations. Customers can also easily migrate from a multi-tenant to a single-tenant cloud deployment as needs change.

About Intermedia's cloud environments
Intermedia offers two managed cloud options to best meet customer needs. In a managed Public Cloud, companies share a multi-tenant enterprise-grade deployment. In a managed Private Cloud, companies receive a single-tenant enterprise-grade deployment on Intermedia's infrastructure or on AWS, with increased flexibility to customize according to specific IT needs. As part of Intermedia's Worry-Free Experience(TM), both fully managed options include:

    --  A 99.999 percent SLA for less than 26 seconds of downtime per month
    --  Expert migration and onboarding at no added cost
    --  24/7 support
    --  Integration with a full suite of business cloud applications
    --  Centralized management of users, devices and services through the
        HostPilot(®) control panel
Intermedia's Private Cloud takes customization and configuration capabilities to the next level. Designed by Intermedia's team of cloud experts, this dedicated cloud environment offers enterprises the flexibility to integrate business applications with custom applications, specialized security, mobile device management, along with data replication across multiple datacenters for disaster recovery, and an assigned support resource.

Come visit Intermedia at IT Nation (booth #911) November 9-12, 2016 in Orlando, Florida to learn more about how Intermedia designs, develops and monitors cloud environments. Not attending the show? Contact Intermedia to get started on reselling Intermedia's business applications suite across multiple cloud venues today.

About Intermedia
Intermedia is a one-stop shop for cloud business applications. Its Office in the Cloud(TM) suite integrates the essential IT applications that companies need to do business, including email, voice, file backup and sharing, conferencing, instant messaging, identity and access management, mobility, security and archiving - all delivered by a single provider.

Think of Office in the Cloud as your "Business Cloud Platform." Intermedia's applications are integrated into its HostPilot(®) control panel. There's just one login, one password, one bill and one source of support, which creates significant cross-service efficiencies for both users and IT administrators. Intermedia offers enterprise-grade security, a 99.999% uptime service level agreement and 24/7 phone support with typical hold times of less than 60 seconds.

Intermedia's over 700 employees serve over 1,000,000 users across more than 75,000 businesses and 6,000 active partners, including VARs, MSPs, key distributors and telecoms. Its award-winning Partner Program lets partners sell under their own brand with control over billing, pricing and other elements of their customer relationships.

Linksys Launches First Entry Level AC1750 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router Ideal For Homes With Lots Of Connected Devices

Next Gen AC1750 Wi-Fi with MU-MIMO and Seamless Roaming Allows Multiple Devices to Stream 4K and HD Video Simultaneously

PLAYA VISTA, Calif., Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Linksys®, the first to sell 100 million routers globally and a leader in networking solutions for the home and business, today announced the availability of its Linksys Max-Stream(TM) AC1750 MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router (EA7300). The new Linksys AC1750 MU-MIMO router leverages 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology, which helps ensure uninterrupted Wi-Fi connectivity to multiple devices in the home and functions as if multiple devices have their own dedicated router. Ideal for homes with multiple users each with their own streaming devices, MU-MIMO functionality helps make Wi-Fi networks more efficient when delivering high bandwidth 4K streams to multiple devices at the same time.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161012/428242

Powered by a dual-core processor and delivering speeds up to 1.7 Gbps*, the AC1750 is also equipped with seamless roaming.  When paired with a Max-Stream range extender, such as the Linksys Max-Stream(TM) AC1900 Range Extender (RE7000), this technology enables client devices to roam around the home always connected to the optimal access point, either router or range extender, seamlessly without having to manually connect or lose connection. Seamless roaming works much the same way devices work in an office environment where users can move room to room, floor to floor, always staying connected to the office Wi-Fi connection. Another advantage of seamless roaming is a single network name (also known as SSID) for the entire network, making it easier to always stay connected to the best Wi-Fi signal.

"Linksys has introduced the largest range of Wi-Fi products that support 802.11 Wave 2 MU-MIMO technology," said Justin Doucette, director product management, Linksys. "Our latest MU-MIMO enabled product is the AC1750 Max-Stream router and includes Linksys' unique seamless roaming technology that creates a whole home Wi-Fi experience by providing multiple access points with a single network name and single password.  The AC1750 Max-Stream router is an affordable entry point into next gen AC Wi-Fi with the option to expand to seamless roaming with a Max-Stream range extender."

The EA7300 features:

    --  Next-Gen AC Wi-Fi - 802.11ac Wave 2 with MU-MIMO Technology for
        uninterrupted Wi-Fi connections to multiple devices at the same time
    --  Dual-band AC1750 Wireless speeds up to 1300 Mbps 5 GHz + 450 Mbps
        2.4GHz, which is a combined speed up to 1.7 Gbps*
    --  Seamless Roaming**:  To enable Seamless Roaming, pair a Max-Stream
        Router with a Max-Stream Range Extender (RE7000). The intuitive
        technology lets users move freely in and outside their home without
        dropping a Wi-Fi signal.
    --  Four Gigabit LAN Ethernet ports and One Gigabit WAN for wired speeds up
        to 10x faster than fast Ethernet
    --  Dual-Core CPU
    --  One USB 3.0 port for connecting printers, storage and more
    --  Three external and adjustable antennas for maximum coverage
    --  Manage and monitor your network and easily control your Wi-Fi router
        remotely on a smart phone with the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi app
        --  Get real-time info about your Wi-Fi network.
        --  Give your guests what they want--access to your Wi-Fi.
        --  Control your kids' Wi-Fi usage.
        --  See all the devices connected to your Wi-Fi network.
    --  Advanced WPA/WPA2 encryption and SPI firewall helps keep the network
        safe
The Linksys AC1750 MU-MIMO router will help address buffering issues customers are having today and into the future with 4K content. Check out the MU-MIMO video on the Linksys YouTube page found here.

Linksys Launches Next Generation WRT Router With MU-MIMO And Tri-Stream 160 Technology

The One and Only WRT Router is the Fastest Dual-Band Wireless Router on the Market offering Best-in-Class Wireless-AC and Open Source Support

PLAYA VISTA, Calif., Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Linksys® today announced the next generation of its one and only WRT(TM) router -- the WRT3200ACM.  The new Linksys AC3200 WRT Gigabit MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router features Tri-Stream 160 technology creating the fastest Dual Band router available* and MU-MIMO technology for simultaneous Wi-Fi connections to multiple devices at the same time. It is open-source ready with OpenWrt® or DD-WRT® for complete flexibility and customization of networking functions or for optimizing the router for specific use cases, such as privacy, VoIP, and small office applications. The newly updated Linksys Smart Wi-Fi app allows users to manage and monitor their home or office Wi-Fi via the cloud from their mobile device, anytime, anywhere.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161012/428240

"We just made the WRT even more powerful, and equipped it with even more features as well as kept true to our word with Open Source support," said Vince La Duca, Linksys product manager. "Linksys WRT is all about making the best router in its class by using all enterprise-grade components and materials while delivering the fastest wireless experience.  Our WRT3200ACM now includes MU-MIMO providing the latest AC wave 2 spec, adds DFS certification to use clear Wi-Fi channels for less interference, as well as support for Tri-Stream 160 technology. We have also increased the processor clock speed to 1.8 GHz, added up to 512MB DDR3 flash memory and kept the eSATA and USB ports WRT enthusiasts continue to appreciate."

MU-MIMO
Linksys offers the largest portfolio of working MU-MIMO solutions including routers and range extenders.  The new WRT3200ACM extends the MU-MIMO lineup in a high performance, feature rich solution ideal for homes or small business.  MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple Output) is the next generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, which helps improve overall performance and efficiency of a Wi-Fi network while providing dedicated bandwidth to MU-MIMO capable client devices as if they have their own dedicated router. With MU-MIMO, the whole household and small office can enjoy 4K and HD TV streaming or other high bandwidth applications to multiple devices all at the same time.

Tri-Stream 160
Almost all of today's current home routers max out at 80 MHz channel width; however, the new WRT3200ACM is Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) certified to allow operation at 160 MHz channel width in the 5 GHz band.  For example, an AC1900 router uses three streams at 80 MHz channel width. Each stream tops out at 433 Mbps, resulting in a total of 1.3 Gbps.  The WRT3200ACM uses three streams at 160 MHz channel width to drive data at 867 Mbps per stream, providing up to 2.6 Gbps - which is up to 2X faster*.

Tri-Stream 160 on the WRT3200ACM supports 3 streams at 160MHz each - 867Mbps x 3 = 2.6 Gbps

AC1900 class such as WRT1900ACS uses 3 streams at 80 MHz each - 433Mbps x 3 = 1.3 Gbps

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
DFS Certification is a Federal Communication Commission (FCC) mandate for radio systems operating in the U-NII-2/U-NII-2 extended 5 GHz band to be able to avoid other radio transmissions considered mission critical, such as military, terminal Doppler weather, or airport radars.  DFS certification allows operation at 160MHz channel width and also increases the available channels at 80MHz so the WRT3200ACM can operate in the clearest, uncongested Wi-Fi airspace that other routers aren't allowed. With less congestion or interference, data is able to move faster and more efficient resulting in better overall performance.

Open Source Ready
The WRT3200ACM is open-source ready for complete flexibility and customization of networking functions or for optimizing the router for specific use cases such as gaming, security, advanced users/IT administrators or for commercial applications:

Gamers:

    --  Replace the full-featured factory firmware with a stripped down firmware
        so the router's power is solely directed to moving network traffic
        instead of running other services like parental control or cloud
        services.
    --  Optimize advanced routing settings for low latency
Enhanced browsing privacy/security:

    --  Build virtual private networks (VPN) for secure data transfers
    --  Access TOR Networks for anonymous browsing
    --  Completely strip ad tracking
    --  Employ network intrusion detection
Networking Professionals

    --  Create a web server
    --  Capture and analyze network traffic
    --  Do Voice over IP calling (VoIP calls)
    --  Perform advanced network traffic management
Commercial applications:

    --  Create a Hot Spot (Captive portal) for internet cafes or other retail
        environments to provide customers with Wi-Fi
    --  Smaller regional internet service providers looking for custom firmware
        solutions for CPE routers
    --  Use the WRT as a Linux-based development platform
Linksys, Marvell and the OpenWrt project have been collaborating to provide full open source support for the WRT3200ACM in OpenWrt's stable and development branches. OpenWrt is a modular system, where users can select and install additional features on top of pre-compiled firmware images from the open source community. This modularity allows networking-savvy users to fully customize the feature set of their router to better suit their particular needs. Some of the recent highlights in OpenWrt include full support for IPv6 networks, better support for multi-core systems in the network stack and enhanced support for 3G/4G modems.

Information on pre-built images based on OpenWrt's "Chaos Calmer" 15.05 branch are available immediately for the WRT3200ACM on the OpenWrt wiki page: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt_ac_series

Axon Announces Global Transcription Services Platform for Law Enforcement

Premiere Partner, SpeakWrite, Offers On-Demand Audio/Video Transcription with Automatic Evidence.com Integration

SEATTLE, Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon, a business unit of TASER International (NASDAQ: TASR) and the global leader in body-worn cameras, today announced the launch of an on-demand transcription services platform for its Evidence.com digital evidence management system. Its premiere partner, SpeakWrite, will offer users the ability to order transcriptions of any video or audio stored on Evidence.com, including body camera video, in-car video, interview room video and audio, mobile recordings, and more. Transcriptions are rendered on a pay-as-you go basis by US-based typists within about 24 hours of request. Once completed, transcripts are automatically stored in Evidence.com as accompanying metadata for easy access and sharing without jeopardizing the chain of custody.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160610/378189LOGO

Since its inception, Evidence.com has continually evolved to pave the way for smarter, more efficient police work. By offering a platform for human transcription services to "plug-in" to the Axon network, we're taking the next step in offering extended analytics to help improve case management. The new partnership with SpeakWrite aims to further that evolution by sharply reducing the amount of administrative work officers must sift through in a given shift and enabling them to devote more attention to crucial tasks. The days of agencies downloading video and submitting it separately to a third party transcription service are over. As Evidence.com continues to evolve, Axon will seek out additional partnerships in order to offer more sophisticated media processing tools to aid the capture to court process for its customers.

"Our goal for the coming years is to reduce officer paperwork by 80%," said TASER CEO and co-founder Rick Smith. "The best way to accomplish this goal is to focus on improved efficiency in the workflow by gaining intelligent insights into the multimedia stored within an agencies' digital evidence. On-demand transcription helps to make report-writing virtually automatic, while improving the quality of the data stored in Evidence.com. We believe this will empower police officers and prosecutors to work more efficiently and spend more time focusing on what matters," concluded Smith.

"SpeakWrite has been providing accurate and secure transcription services for public safety agencies for nearly a decade, and in that time we've developed a keen eye for the unique needs of law enforcement," said SpeakWrite CEO and founder Richard Jackson. "That's why we make our services available 24/7/365, and that's why we're thrilled to partner with TASER, another company with a long track record of meeting officers' needs. Together, we can enhance users' experiences of both of our respective services and bring about a more intelligent way of managing evidence."

To date, more than 100,000 licenses have been booked on the Axon network worldwide. The Axon network seamlessly integrates devices and apps to enable powerful capabilities for building safer communities. The Axon network includes:

    --  Smart Devices - Body cameras and in-car video that leverage technology
        such as Bluetooth® wireless technology and Wi-Fi® to better track and
        manage data
    --  Mobile Apps - Evidence management for iOS and Android devices with Axon
        View and Axon Capture
    --  Unified and Integrated Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) - One
        platform that removes siloed DEMS through cloud computing, integrations
        across media points, and open file standards that do not require
        proprietary file formats or media players
    --  Forensic Suite Tools - Forensic analysis via Axon Five and Axon Detect
        and proprietary video format conversion via Axon Convert
    --  Connected Ecosystem - From capture to courtroom, securely share and
        track digital evidence across public safety stakeholders
    --  Digital Verification and Audit Logs - Record every interaction with any
        piece of digital evidence including capture, ingest, retrieve, manage,
        and share
    --  Advanced Security - Industry-leading people, practices, and products
        that comply with CJIS at both the infrastructure and application layers
        and ISO/IEC 27001

COPENHAGEN, October 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

      Now Available in the Netherlands, Russia, Dubai and at Airports Around the World 

    Lumigon announces the launch of the T3 smartphone, integrating minimalistic
Scandinavian design with durable steel exterior and innovative features such as a night

    "We wanted to create a new smartphone that reflects our design philosophy," says
Lumigon CEO Lars Gravesen. "The glass and steel used in the T3 are extremely durable, but
that doesn't mean sacrificing the look and feel of the phone. In fact, it provides a great
balance between design, premium materials, innovation and technology."

    In addition to the classic versions, the T3 is also available in a gold edition with
four different models, to fulfil the needs of customers who like it a little more
extraordinary.

    Innovative design, inside and out 

    The exterior of T3 is crafted from molybdenum 316 stainless steel, whose strength and
high resistance is known from the boat industry. This durability is further enhanced with
scratch and damage resistant glass. Both the front and back of the phone are of Corning(R)
Gorilla(R) Glass to help ensure the 4.8" HD Super AMOLED Diamond display is not spoiled by
screen cracks. These robust materials were carefully selected and precisely crafted to
create a dust and water-resistant phone that can withstand daily use, while retaining the
sleek design of an exclusive product.

    These details extend to the interior, which is powered by an ultra-fast 2.2 GHz 64 bit
8-core processor with 3 GB RAM running Android(TM) 6.0, making this smartphone run smooth
and fast. Lars Gravesen continues, "In a world with such huge demands for data, we wanted
to give our customers enough capacity that will make users hardly run out of space, thus
we decided to launch the T3 with 128 GB internal memory as standard."

    Being a truly versatile device, the T3 also features a 4G Dual Nano SIM slot allowing
the use of two SIM cards simultaneously. These can be hot-swapped without shutting down
the phone, allowing for exceptional agility on the go.

    Perfect picture - day and night  

    The T3 comes with three cameras and provides high quality photography regardless of
time of day or lighting conditions. The 4K HD camera takes ultra-sharp photos while the
advanced Phase Detection Autofocus find its focus point instantly. The 2K HD front camera
with innovative FrontFlash allows for perfect selfies even in dark environments. The
mirror in combination with the FrontFlash turns this phone to a gadget that the ladies
will find very handy when fixing their makeup on the go.

    The T3 is the first smartphone in the world to have a 2K HD Night Vision camera that
can capture photos and videos even in total darkness.

    BackTouch 

    The innovative BackTouch technology enables to scroll content on the display from the
back of the phone and is very convenient when taking selfies as the user just needs to tap
on the BackTouch. This brand new feature introduces easy one-handed navigation and
improved swiping and scrolling capabilities.

    Secured 

    T3 has cutting-edge security and interface features. The 360degree(s) ceramic
fingerprint reader provides added security along with Lumigon's unique Vault feature that
lets the user store private and confidential information on the phone. The data within the
Vault is secure and encrypted with AES 256-bit algorithm.

    Make it Your Way 

    T3 is provided in three classic colours, black, white and orange as well as the
exclusive series, like the elegant 24-karat gold in four different models. Users can then
show their individual looks, while those who want to experience the next level of luxury
can leave their mark with a personal engraving.

    Mr Gravesen says, "The T3 was created for users who want something different and want
to stand out from the crowd."

    "To me," he continues, "Danish design reflects craftsmanship, simplicity and real-life
functionality, taking high-quality materials and combining them with innovative features
to create a clean premium product. That was the design mindset that brought us to the
creation of the T3 smartphone."

    Availability 

    The T3 is available for purchase at the Lumigon web shop and at selected dealers
worldwide at a price starting from EUR 645/DKK 4799 for the stainless steel versions with
128 GB internal memory. The sales box also includes a stainless steel designer headset

Chinese UAV Maker Areox to Release A Next Generation Handheld Video Stabilizer

The PIRO Smart Gimbal Delivers Stability that was Previously only Available to Professionals

HONG KONG, Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- From the widespread popularity of selfie sticks to the emergence of handheld camera gimbals, the global handheld device market is going through another transformation. With the increasing popularity of live webcasts in 2016, videos are becoming increasingly important as a new means of social communication, making image stabilization technology-based handheld camera gimbals increasingly a must among consumers.

Shenzhen Areox Technologies Co., Ltd. (http://www.areox.cn) plans to release a high quality handheld camera stabilizer, the PIRO Smart Gimbal, at this year's Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition).

Areox is a Chinese high-tech company principally engaged in research and development as well as the production of electric multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and related parts, with a focus on technological innovation. Bringing together the R&D strength of professional developers of aviation products located in China as well as outside the country, and supported by heavy investment in its own R&D, the company has successfully applied for several utility patents. In addition, the company has made breakthroughs in several areas, including flight-control and optical image processing systems.

After launching several generations of products, Areox's continues to improve in terms of technical prowess. In the past, handheld video stabilizers were strictly a tool in the province of professional photographers. With the rise of internet journalists and video bloggers, however, the capabilities of one's video recording equipment are of increasing importance. Consumer demands have become similar to those of professionals, in terms of what is expected when it comes to stability, as well as in terms of where the market for cameras is heading. It is in this context that expectations in terms of more user-friendly handheld stabilization devices have decidedly grown, and the PIRO Smart Gimbal is the answer to that expectation.

Can the PIRO Smart Gimbal, which will be launched in Hong Kong on October 15 and maintains the same high quality that is expected of all Areox products, be the next head turner in the market? Will it stand out among the many new products expected to come on stream at the same time? Finding out the answer to that question will be well worth the wait.

Apacer Makes a Foray into DDR4 Wide Temperature Memory Module Market

Industrial-grade components reinforced with underfill redefine specifications

TAIPEI, Taiwan, Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Actively expanding its industrial memory products, the world-leading industrial memory brand Apacer Technology, with the full support of its strategic partner Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, has launched its first DDR4 wide temperature memory module series. Using industrial-grade chips, the memory module series provides a rugged solution for industrial equipments operating under extreme temperatures for long hours. Enhanced with underfill and industrial-grade wide temperature components, Apacer DDR4 wide temperature memory module series is cold-resistant, heat-resistant and highly reliable. In combination with its vibration and thermal shock resistance, the scope of applications for wide temperature memory products is expanded, meeting the requirements of industrial products operating in harsh environments.

All industrial-grade components further reinforce stability under low/high temperature environments

In order to maintain highly stable operating performance in harsh environments, Apacer DDR4 memory module series not only uses original Samsung industrial-grade wide temperature chips, its passive components are also upgraded to full industrial grade. The wide temperature memory series adopts industrial-grade capacitors and resistors. Capacitors with maximum thermal resistance of 125°C ensures more stable supply voltage in a high-temperature environment, while industrial-grade precision resistors have lower tolerance (±1%) and more matching specifications, significantly increasing circuit stability and durability. Furthermore, to prevent instability of signal transmission in harsh environments, DDR4 wide temperature memory module utilizes 30µ thicker golden finger plating for its PCB.

Underfill technique improves product reliability

Underfill technique is used under the BGA to reinforce the product's resistance against vibration and thermal shock. When subject to greater temperature changes, the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the silicon chip and the PCB substrate often causes relative shifts during thermal shock test, resulting in solder points falling off or fracturing. Underfill technique effectively strengthens the solder points between solder balls and circuit board, reducing thermal stress damage, increasing product reliability and thus increasing product lifespan. 

Apacer's new wide temperature DDR4 SODIMM for industrial use has a maximum capacity of 16GB and supports frequencies of up to 2133/2400MHz. Using high-quality DDR4 wide temperature chips and industrial-grade components, reinforced with underfill technique, it can adapt to extreme operating temperatures, providing impeccable durability for the system. Passing thermal shock test, which exposes a product to alternating extremes of high and low temperatures, it has been proven to operate within the temperature range of -40°C and 85°C, making it an applicable solution for industrial equipments, such as military, vehicular, outdoor and rugged computers.

"We wanted to create a new smartphone that reflects our design philosophy," says Lumigon CEO Lars Gravesen. "The glass and steel used in the T3 are extremely durable, but that doesn't mean sacrificing the look and feel of the phone. In fact, it provides a great balance between design, premium materials, innovation and technology."

In addition to the classic versions, the T3 is also available in a gold edition with four different models, to fulfil the needs of customers who like it a little more extraordinary.

Innovative design, inside and out

The exterior of T3 is crafted from molybdenum 316 stainless steel, whose strength and high resistance is known from the boat industry. This durability is further enhanced with scratch and damage resistant glass. Both the front and back of the phone are of Corning® Gorilla® Glass to help ensure the 4.8" HD Super AMOLED Diamond display is not spoiled by screen cracks. These robust materials were carefully selected and precisely crafted to create a dust and water-resistant phone that can withstand daily use, while retaining the sleek design of an exclusive product.

These details extend to the interior, which is powered by an ultra-fast 2.2 GHz 64 bit 8-core processor with 3 GB RAM running Android(TM) 6.0, making this smartphone run smooth and fast. Lars Gravesen continues, "In a world with such huge demands for data, we wanted to give our customers enough capacity that will make users hardly run out of space, thus we decided to launch the T3 with 128 GB internal memory as standard."

Being a truly versatile device, the T3 also features a 4G Dual Nano SIM slot allowing the use of two SIM cards simultaneously. These can be hot-swapped without shutting down the phone, allowing for exceptional agility on the go.

Perfect picture- day and night

The T3 comes with three cameras and provides high quality photography regardless of time of day or lighting conditions. The 4K HD camera takes ultra-sharp photos while the advanced Phase Detection Autofocus find its focus point instantly. The 2K HD front camera with innovative FrontFlash allows for perfect selfies even in dark environments. The mirror in combination with the FrontFlash turns this phone to a gadget that the ladies will find very handy when fixing their makeup on the go.

The T3 is the first smartphone in the world to have a 2K HD Night Vision camera that can capture photos and videos even in total darkness.

BackTouch

The innovative BackTouch technology enables to scroll content on the display from the back of the phone and is very convenient when taking selfies as the user just needs to tap on the BackTouch. This brand new feature introduces easy one-handed navigation and improved swiping and scrolling capabilities.

Secured

T3 has cutting-edge security and interface features. The 360° ceramic fingerprint reader provides added security along with Lumigon's unique Vault feature that lets the user store private and confidential information on the phone. The data within the Vault is secure and encrypted with AES 256-bit algorithm.

Make it Your Way

T3 is provided in three classic colours, black, white and orange as well as the exclusive series, like the elegant 24-karat gold in four different models. Users can then show their individual looks, while those who want to experience the next level of luxury can leave their mark with a personal engraving.

Mr Gravesen says, "The T3 was created for users who want something different and want to stand out from the crowd."

"To me," he continues, "Danish design reflects craftsmanship, simplicity and real-life functionality, taking high-quality materials and combining them with innovative features to create a clean premium product. That was the design mindset that brought us to the creation of the T3 smartphone."

Availability

The T3 is available for purchase at the Lumigon web shop and at selected dealers worldwide at a price starting from EUR 645/DKK 4799 for the stainless steel versions with 128 GB internal memory.

Simplified MiFID-II Compliance with Endace DAG Provenance

Endace's new Provenance capability enables financial traders to easily and reliably watermark captured trade data with timing data required for MIFID-II compliance

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Endace, a world leader in high-speed network monitoring and recording technology, today announced the launch of Provenance(TM), a new feature available for its high-speed DAG(TM) Data Capture cards. Provenance enables recorded network traffic to be enriched with information about the state of the environment at the time the traffic was recorded -- including detailed real-time information about timing sources and accuracy.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160523/371135LOGO

Under upcoming MiFID-II regulations, traders must not only record all trade data, but also ensure trade events are accurately time-stamped to within microseconds of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) along with information about the reliability of the timing source. Being able to perpetually describe the accuracy of time stamps means continually monitoring and recording timing accuracy as trade data is captured. Provenance provides a way for traders to capture contextual information at the source, helping them to comply with regulations easily.

Provenance "watermarks" traffic every second as it is captured, enriching it with information--such as what timing source was used, how clocks were synchronized (using PTP, 1PPS or IRIG-B) and what the clock synchronization accuracy was at the time of capture. This allows traders to prove exactly what the status and accuracy of clocks and time stamps were at the time trade data was captured.

Currently, more than 150 fields of Provenance data such as Hostname, Linkname and Optical Power Level can be included. This makes it simple for traders to accurately determine the origin of capture files and provides a clear evidential trail that can be easily examined in packet analysis tools, such as Wireshark.

Endace is a long-standing supporter of the STAC Benchmark Council, a community of financial institutions and vendors collaborating to develop technology benchmark standards for the financial industry. Endace CTO, Dr. Stephen Donnelly attended STAC's MiFID-II Workshop in London in June. Following the workshop, Endace accelerated plans to introduce Provenance to help traders meet MiFID-II's strict timing requirements.

"Provenance is broader than just timing, it allows a wide range of enriched, 'smart data' to be embedded into network traffic as it's recorded. We see applications across a range of areas including network security," Dr Donnelly said. "But we saw an immediate application for Provenance to deliver a simple, effective way to enable traders to meet their obligations under MiFID-II and related regulations. So we accelerated plans to introduce Provenance to give traders time to test and implement it ahead of MiFID-II".

Endace has introduced Provenance support in a firmware upgrade available immediately for its two port 1/10 GbE DAG10X2-S and DAG10X2-P cards and four port 1/10/40GbE DAG 10X4-P card. Provenance is a key feature which will be rolled out across all Endace products, and will be introduced in EndaceProbe Network Recorders in the new 6.3 release of OSm scheduled to ship early in 2017.

About Endace
For more than 15 years, Endace has provided high-speed, network recording and visibility solutions to monitor and protect some of the world's largest, most complex networks. Customers include global banks, telcos and service providers, media and broadcast companies, health organizations, retailers, e-commerce and web giants, governments and large enterprises. Customers choose Endace technology because it can monitor and capture network traffic with 100% accuracy regardless of network speeds or loads. It can scale to meet the needs of the fastest networks and is built on an open architecture that enables integration with a wide variety of custom, open source and commercial solutions.

The mission of GDU has always been to solve the biggest problems users face with typical drones - portability, power and modularity. While some manufacturers have followed us on creating foldable drones to solve the portability issue, only GDU has the power and modular design necessary to add additional components and carry third party cameras."

The Advanced Byrd provides for 29 minutes of flight time, with a guaranteed 1000-meter video downlink system included in the shipped model (no additional downlink technology needed) and also offers a more advanced OFDM system, compared to WiFi transmission in the Standard model. Price of the Advanced Byrd model will be $849.00. The much anticipated Premium model will also be shipping soon. Interested individuals can find dealer information here: http://www.gdu-tech.com/#/store/dealer.

Advanced Byrd Stats:

    --  Only drone with interchangeable gimbal/camera configurations (not stuck

Utility Introduces Revolutionary Crime Scene Documentation Technology at IACP 2016

Never-Before-Seen Product Takes Mission-Critical Intelligence and Situational Awareness to New Heights

DECATUR, Ga., Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Utility, Inc. announced today that it will now offer the industry's first digital crime scene imaging system, the Smart Scene 360(TM). This new product represents the next generation in the evolution of body camera technology, and it is intended to provide a higher level of situational awareness while enhancing mission critical intelligence. Smart Scene 360(TM) --along with Utility's full suite of products, including BodyWorn(TM)--will be on display throughout the 123(rd) International Chiefs of Police Annual Conference and Exposition (IACP) in San Diego, California from October 15 - 18, 2016 at the BodyWorn(TM) by Utility booth (#1939). Utility will have a virtual reality room at IACP so that attendees can personally experience Smart Scene 360(TM).

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160427/360545LOGO

"We believe that Smart Scene 360(TM) will forever change the way evidence is captured by Police Departments," said Robert McKeeman, CEO of Utility. "Our core values focus on letting policy makers meet the public's demand for a 21(st)-century Police Department, and providing technology that makes sure those policies are automatically carried out in the most effective way possible every time. That is why we are so excited to unveil this new, exciting technology at IACP. The future begins now, and we look forward to supporting law enforcement agencies as they move into this new age."

This new technology will enable Law Enforcement officials, District Attorneys, and Courts to view crime scenes in 3D virtual reality long after an incident occurs. Smart Scene 360(TM) is a feature of the AVaiL Video Management solution and is included at no additional cost.

Smart Scene 360(TM) uses a 360(° )digital imaging app, Smart Shot 360(TM), to create a digital model of a crime scene.  Smart Shot 360(TM) is part of the software running on the Police Officer's standard BodyWorn(TM) camera, and is available immediately.  No additional hardware or software is required. 

Officers will now be able to review and search a crime scene remotely at any time from any location. By utilizing the BodyWorn(TM) camera's instant video playback feature, an Officer can examine the 360(° )view of the scene directly on the BodyWorn camera. Officers can also use Virtual Reality headsets to re-experience the crime scene.  Like BodyWorn(TM), all Smart Scene 360(TM) video content is automatically uploaded as it is recorded to secure Amazon Web Services cloud storage.  Smart Scene 360(TM) video can then be viewed through Utility's AVaiL Web(TM) video management system.   

"Each year, IACP brings out the best of what the law enforcement technology industry has to offer. Our products epitomize 21st-century solutions and provide future-proof technology not offered by our hardware-centric competitors," said Chris Lindenau, Vice President of Business Development and Chief Revenue Officer. "In addition to introducing Smart Scene 360(TM), we will also announce an enhanced software architecture that integrates video recorded from multiple platforms with BodyWorn(TM)--including unmanned aerial vehicles. We believe these new products further demonstrate our mission of expanding the technological horizons of what a body camera company can achieve."

This is the third consecutive year that Utility has unveiled new products at IACP. In 2014, Utility, Inc. introduced BodyWorn(TM), the only police body camera with policy-based automatic recording triggers.  Experience has shown the Police Officers in high stress situations often forget to turn on manually-operated body cameras, which damages Community Trust in Police Accountability and Transparency. In 2015, the Rocket IoT(TM) In-Car Video Recording system was fully integrated with BodyWorn(TM) cameras.  Vehicle front and back seat video content can be played on a side-by-side synchronized view basis with BodyWorn(TM) video--providing incident views from multiple angles and locations.  The Rocket IoT(TM) has been enhanced to support dual SIM cards and patented automatic switching to the best 3G and 4G-LTE cell carrier, based upon vehicle location, heading, and speed.  Up to four HD, PoE video cameras can be attached to the Rocket IoT(TM), along with vehicle diagnostics and IoT Sensors in and around the vehicle. Policy-Based Recording and IoT sensor events automatically start and stop video recording according to Department policy reliably and with no human bias.

Utility and its full suite of smart products, will be on display at booth #1939. For more information, visit http://www.Bodyworn.com. Information about Utility's automatic video redaction technology can be found at http://www.smartredaction.com/.

About BodyWorn(TM)
BodyWorn(TM) incorporates real-time communications for the best situational awareness possible during the most critical times.  Unlike Generation 1 body cameras, BodyWorn(TM) has automatic recording triggers based upon department policies, officer down emergency reporting, live video streaming, and secure automatic wireless video upload to cloud storage. BodyWorn(TM) video, audio and metadata can be accessed through its cloud-based digital evidence management solution AVaiL Web(TM).  All of Utility's recording solutions, including Rocket IoT(TM) in-car video system, leverage Amazon Web Services cloud processing and storage.

Loki Products, Inc. Announces Kickstarter Campaign Launch

Smart WiFi Meat Thermometer Generating Buzz

KIRKLAND, Wash., Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Loki Products, Inc. today announced the launch of its Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for Loki, The Smart WiFi Meat Thermometer. Already nearing the production phase, the product is expected to be available through retail channels in the 1(st) Quarter of 2017. 

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161012/427774

Loki's appearance last week at the Smart Kitchen Summit in Seattle generated strong interest among industry leaders. "We were thrilled by the reaction to Loki at the Summit," said James Hammer, Loki Product's CEO. "It's great momentum for the start of our Kickstarter campaign."

The smart WiFi meat thermometer, Loki, delivers temperature and cooking notifications to the free Loki app on any iOS or Android mobile device, at home or around town. The app predicts cooking time and actively tracks the time remaining to completion. The notification system provides for perfect cooking precision without hovering to check progress. 

A number of rewards are available to backers of Loki's Kickstarter campaign, including Loki starting at $89 (40% off retail). "We chose crowdfunding for Loki because we see it as an ideal opportunity for gauging interest, and building the best version of this product by getting direct consumer feedback," said Hammer.

Loki is the first of a planned series of complementary devices, and is the twelfth consumer electronics product successfully brought to market by the same development team behind Loki Products, Inc. 

About Loki Products, Inc.

Based in the Seattle area, Loki Products, Inc. is a family owned and operated company born out of large traditional Wednesday night gatherings around the dinner table to share a delicious meal. We are a family of engineers, marketers, creatives, and amateur chefs who love food. Our conversations naturally turned to brainstorming an easier way to monitor the progress of our favorite meats. We wanted to spend more time visiting with each other, instead of babysitting the oven, smoker, or grill. The result is Loki, The Smart WiFi Meat Thermometer.   

Loki Products is the newest member of our family's successful wireless communication and device ventures. All of our designs are developed 100% in-house. We are a fully integrated company who takes "back of the napkin" concepts and develops every step from design through production to retail fulfillment delivering high quality technology solutions for today's lifestyle.

Nuheara Sells Out 2016 Allotment of IQbuds(TM); Opens Online Store for 2017 Orders

Nuheara will commence shipping IQbuds(TM) to crowdfunding backers and launch retailers before the end of 2016; New pre-orders placed through the online store are expected to ship first Quarter 2017.

PERTH, Australia, and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuheara Inc., the maker of IQbuds(TM), truly intelligent wireless earbuds that allow people to hear what they want to hear, today announced the company has sold out of its allocated units for sale in 2016 and are on schedule to commence shipping late December.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161011/427553

With commitments of nearly 4,000 units from 3,500 backers in 82 countries from its Indiegogo campaign and forward orders from select retailers in the USA and Australia, Nuheara today launches its online store to accept pre-orders for availability for the first quarter 2017.

Nuheara's intelligent IQbuds(TM) are a cross between an assistive listening device, noise cancelling headset and Bluetooth earpiece in two completely wireless earbuds, allowing people to augment their hearing experience. Nuheara has named this 'blended hearing,' which is achieved using their proprietary software called SINC(TM) (Super Intelligent Noise Cancellation). SINC(TM) allows you to dynamically control how you hear the world around you for a more personalized hearing experience.

The hearables sector is gaining a lot of attention of late with new wireless earbuds coming on to the market. Nuheara IQbuds(TM) deliver a significantly more enhanced consumer experience than just listening to music or making calls. "Our vision from the outset has been to take really sophisticated hearing technology, miniaturize it into two beautifully designed, truly wireless earbuds and enable users to connect to and dynamically blend their physical and digital worlds," said David Cannington, EVP and co-founder of Nuheara. "The result is that IQbuds(TM) are so much smarter than all other hearables on the market today."

Nuheara IQbuds(TM) features include:

    --  Advanced Speech Amplification - enhance your ability to hear speech in
        crowded restaurants, pubs, parties, networking events, conferences.
        Never miss another word again.
    --  Dynamic Noise Control - selectively tune in or out the world around you
        with Nuheara's Super Intelligent Noise Cancellation (SINC(TM))
        technology.
    --  Blended Physical and Digital Worlds - create the best blend of your
        digital audio streams and the sounds around you for situational
        awareness.
    --  High Fidelity Audio - seamlessly stream all your favorite music and
        audio content with high quality stereo sound and no wires, anywhere,
        ever.
    --  Hands Free Phone Calls - accept and manage your phone calls with a
        simple tap touch on the IQbuds(TM).
    --  Comfortable, Secure Fit - sweat-proof, water resistant and designed for
        comfort, IQbuds(TM) are perfect for all day use.
    --  Customizable iOS and Android App - Apple iOS and Android compatible,
        Nuheara's easy-to-use app allows you to personalize augmented hearing
        and remember your hearing profiles.
"If you are going to make a hearable today, it needs to be more than just a 'nice-to-have' - it needs to be super intelligent and actually improve the human condition," said Justin Miller, CEO and co-founder of Nuheara. "Our augmented hearing is improving people's lives in a real way, in their everyday experiences. Whether it allows you to better hear a baby's cry for help, layers a co-worker's voice above streamed music, enhances conversations in noisy restaurants or allows a bicycle courier to hear a truck backing into their space, an improved life is at the core of every IQbud we build here at Nuheara."

"It's an exciting time in the hearables sector," said Nick Hunn, CTO at WiFore Consulting, and who coined the term 'hearables' in 2014.  "Early products did not always live up to expectations.  Apple's entry should dispel consumer concerns about quality, but they are only offering audio streaming.  If companies like Nuheara deliver on their production and technology innovation promises, we should see rapid and dynamic growth in the market."

Starting today, consumers can pre-order IQbuds(TM) for US$299.  Nuheara IQbuds(TM) will start shipping and be available for purchase at retail locations in the USA in the first quarter of 2017.

Fujitsu Enables High Performance, All-Flash Storage for the Mass Market with the Launch of its New ETERNUS AF Storage

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

News facts:

    --  Now enterprises can use the reliability, flexibility and ultra-low
        response times of flash technology to help transform their business
        operations at more affordable entry costs
    --  New Fujitsu ETERNUS AF models combine the benefits of high-performance,
        all-flash storage with a proven set of enterprise-class capabilities
        found typically in premium storage systems - features like Automated
        QoS, transparent failover, and data reduction capabilities
Fujitsu is changing the dynamics of primary storage in enterprise computing environments with the introduction of its next-generation all-flash storage systems. The new ETERNUS® AF all-flash models are the fastest-ever Fujitsu storage systems, bringing the benefits of all-flash technology to both core applications as well as new applications that are driving business transformation for customers.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140618/119400

The new ETERNUS AF family makes flash storage more attractive than ever, thanks to competitive pricing and lower total cost of ownership for all-flash systems combined with the storage performance capabilities that are needed for mixed workloads including databases, VDI, analytics, and big data.

Alex Lam, Vice President of Enterprise Business Strategy in North America for Fujitsu Technology and Business of America, Inc. comments: "With the ETERNUS AF, we are showing the market how ultra-fast, all-flash storage can be made available to the mass market, not only at extremely affordable price points in relation to traditional HDD storage, but also with a proven suite of enterprise-grade storage services that customers expect from premium storage platforms. As the economics of all-flash storage continue to be more attractive over time due to Moore's Law, we're enabling customers to create faster, more responsive IT environments to support the next wave of digital business and IT services, and doing so on a proven, enterprise-grade storage platform - Fujitsu ETERNUS."

ETERNUS AF storage systems enable customers to transform their data centers with super-fast, easily expandable storage solutions that potentially deliver huge reductions in overheads. IT teams also benefit from significantly simplified operations: Automated Quality of Service features dramatically reduce administration and maintenance requirements, freeing up system engineers from repetitive, mundane tasks.

ETERNUS AF also ensures non-stop business operations, providing enterprises with greater peace of mind. Mirroring of business-critical data eliminates risk of data loss, while in the event of a system failure, the transparent failover feature instantly switches to a secondary system. Fujitsu has also ensured that traditional ETERNUS DX disk storage systems work seamlessly together with ETERNUS AF. As they venture in the world of all-flash systems, organizations can combine the two systems, leveraging the benefits of flash storage while continuing to extract value from existing data center infrastructure.

Customers choosing ETERNUS AF also benefit from cost-savings - firstly thanks to built-in data deduplication and compression technologies which ensure that the Fujitsu ETERNUS AF system automatically optimizes data volume, helping reduce SSD capacity requirements by an average factor of five. This is achieved through inline deduplication that identifies and discards duplicates, then compresses data by removing all redundant information. In addition, all-flash systems take up less space in a data center and consume less energy for power and cooling, in comparison to traditional disk arrays.

Fujitsu will be offering two all-flash model lines. The top-of-the-range ETERNUS AF650 boasts up to 1,843 TB of effective storage capacity (368 TB of raw capacity) in a 6U form factor with up to 256 GB of system memory.  For customers looking for a smaller entry, all-flash system, the Fujitsu AF250 offers up to 460 TB of effective storage capacity (92 TB of raw capacity) in a 2U form factor with up to 64 GB of system memory.

Pricing and availability
FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS AF systems are available now for ordering, with product shipments to start in late October. Pricing varies based on size of configuration and regional pricing.

(1) Calculations are based on an estimated data deduplication and compression ratio of 5:1.

Conexant AudioSmart Provides Superior Far-Field Speech Recognition Performance on First Smart Speaker for Korean Market

SK Telecom works with Conexant to produce first smart speaker capable of natural language processing of Korean language; Enables device to hear users accurately from a distance and in noise

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --Conexant Systems, Inc., a leading provider of audio and voice technology solutions that enable a more natural user experience, today announced that SK Telecom, Korea's largest mobile carrier, is implementing AudioSmart(TM) far-field voice solutions to help the new NUGU(TM) smart speaker hear users' requests accurately from a considerable distance away from the device. Conexant provides advanced voice processing technologies that help NUGU voice services offer the highest voice recognition accuracy rate in Korea. Conexant AudioSmart technology enables highly accurate voice control in smart home applications, robots, IoT devices, and more.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160928/412722LOGO

"When developing the NUGU personal digital assistant, our engineers focused heavily on ensuring it would provide an optimal voice-enabled user experience," said Myung Soon Park, Senior Vice President, Future Technology R&D Center at SK Telecom. "When choosing a technology partner to help us achieve the level of speech recognition accuracy we wanted, Conexant was an obvious choice. Their technology allows our NUGU personal digital assistant to overcome distance and noise related challenges and offer ideal near- and far-field speech recognition performance, as well as enables users to interrupt and interact with the device when it's playing media."

Enabling speech recognition and voice control from a distance in smart platforms requires overcoming substantial challenges related to echo cancellation, background noise, microphone speaker position and more. Conexant solutions are able to separate voice commands from background noise so that the speech recognition engine hears the user's command as clearly as possible, which in turn provides a far more accurate voice-enabled experience, even in noisy, real-world conditions, up to several meters away from the target device. The Conexant Far-Field Voice Input Processor solution for voice interactive devices is an industry first. This family of processors leverages Conexant AudioSmart(TM) far-field voice processing algorithms, enabling OEMs to deliver products, like NUGU, that offer a voice-enabled user experience.

"As the voice-enabled revolution continues to shift the way people interact with devices of all types, reliance on speech enhancement technologies that help devices hear user commands more accurately will continue to grow," said Saleel Awsare, President of Conexant. "Conexant has been a leading provider of voice processing solutions that improve speech recognition accuracy and enable advanced voice capabilities for years. We are pleased to be working with SKT to bolster the speech recognition performance of their NUGU smart speaker."
