eWBM Announces the Mass Production, MS500/MS300, Low Power SoC for New Era IoT Security

SEOUL, South Korea, July 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- eWBM Co., Ltd., a leading developer of embedded security and image processing SoCs, announced the mass production of the "MS500" and "MS300", micro-controllers with strong embedded hardware security features for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Security is one of the most critical problems for IoT application since most IoT applications are operating with limited software­ based security capabilities or no security at all. "Security (or lack there of) has been the number one issue preventing IoT applications from becoming widespread," said Stephen Oh, CEO of eWBM Co., Ltd. "We are very confident that we can provide the right solution to address existing IoT security concerns with our MS300/MS500 micro-controllers."

To address IoT's existing security vulnerability, the MS500/MS300 provides security features such as secure boot, secure storage, low power encryption engines, real-time integrity monitoring capability, side-­channel attack protection, and secure RTOS support, which were previously only available for high­-level CPUs and application processors. MS500/MS300 is based on ARM's Cortex­-M0 running up to 100MHz. This provides a versatile programming environment supported by many existing tools. The MS500/MS300 also provides high speed on­-the-­fly encryption/decryption capabilities using host and slave SDIO3.0 peripherals, a feature not available in small and lightweight IoT devices. With the MS300/MS500, high performance IoT products can be developed to ensure security without the need for a separate security coprocessor. 

"The rapidly growing IoT market requires products such as eWBM's MS500 and MS300 micro-controllers to help address security vulnerabilities," said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP and prototyping at Synopsys. "Integrating Synopsys' DesignWare® True Random Number Generator, Public Key Accelerator and Security Protocol Accelerator IP enables the MS500 and MS300 micro-controllers to perform the required functions for highly secure IoT systems."

eWBM Co., Ltd obtained official FIDO alliance certification (FIDO Certified(TM )) in April of 2016 under interoperability testing as the first South Korean SOC company using MS1000 platform. The company is also currently developing security biometric authentication solutions including fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, and vein recognition with various biometric companies preparing for the age of FinTech. In addition, eWBM Co., Ltd. is a fast-growing Korean fabless semiconductor company delivering cutting-edge technologies for both internet of things (IoT) security as well as innovative single-sensor based 3D depth image processing, which will be in mass production from Q4 of 2016.

Silicon Deployment of Sensory's Low Power Sound Detector for Always-Listening Voice Control Heats Up

The Low Power Sound Detector (LPSD) component of Sensory's TrulyHandsfree technology is gaining significant traction among chip providers, being widely deployed as hardware within new chip designs

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sensory Inc., a Silicon Valley company focused on improving the user experience and security of consumer electronics through state-of-the-art embedded voice and vision technologies, today announced that deployment of its Low Power Sound Detector (LPSD) hardware component of the company's TrulyHandsfree technology is gaining steady traction among leading chip manufacturers. Finding its way into a variety of chip designs from DSPs, digital microphones and sensor fusion hubs, Sensory's LPSD hardware block is currently shipping in product designs from DSP Group, Knowles and QuickLogic, with more chip partners to be announced. LPSD allows chip manufactures whose products are suited for enabling an always-listening speech recognition system on CE devices to greatly reduce the power requirements of their components, as well as the power demand of the entire speech recognition audio chain.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150512/215646LOGO

Ideal for always-on keyword trigger solutions that enable "Alexa," "Hey Cortana," "Hey Siri," or "Okay Google" hands-free voice control on devices, Sensory's LPSD was designed to only wake the audio chain for a keyword trigger when potential speech is sensed. The solution conserves power usage by allowing the remaining audio chain of a device to be switched off until needed for speech processing.

"Sensory has been the industry's pioneer of low-power speech recognition technologies for more than 20 years and while our line of speech recognition solutions have always been extremely power efficient, we created our Low Power Sound Detector technology for those looking to integrate always-listening voice trigger technology into ultra-low-power devices," said Todd Mozer, founder and CEO of Sensory.

LPSD was developed as a supplemental solution designed to enable low-power devices to operate Sensory's TrulyHandsfree(TM) and other always-on, always-listening speech recognition technologies with minimal draw on the battery.

A hardware implementation of LPSD reduces the overall system power for always-listening keyword trigger technology by 50 percent. Depending on the mix of speech to silence, Sensory's LPSD reduces processing requirements and lowers average power consumption (including digital microphone and decimation logic) of an always-on implementation to under 1mA, which has long been a target for use in wearables and battery operated consumer electronics (some cases require as little as 400uA).

"Sensory is the industry leader in voice processing systems for mobile applications," said Brian Faith, CEO at QuickLogic Corporation.  "Integration of Sensory's TrulyHandsfree and LPSD hardware with the QuickLogic EOS S3 multi-core sensor processing SoC provides unprecedented always-on speech recognition capability, and will facilitate a new generation of voice-driven applications capable of running on a fraction of the power consumption of competing technologies."

MEIZU MX6, World's First Smartphone Featuring Sony Exmore RX IMX 386 Camera, Launched Today

BEIJING, July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading consumer electronics company and smartphone manufacturer MEIZU announced the launch of its latest MX series product, MEIZU MX6, at a product release conference in Beijing today.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160719/390940

The latest product in the MX series, MX6 comes with a number of tech upgrades from previous products and offers the following unique features:

    --  Powerful camera with Sony Exmore RS IMX386 CMOS, customized 6-element
        lens, f/2.0 aperture, 0.2s focus speed and face auto-exposure algorithm
    --  TDDI solution and Full In-cell screen
    --  All metal body and cambered antenna
The MX6 introduces the Sony Exmore RSIMX 386 in its rear camera. With the single pixel size up to 1.25 µm and a customized 6-element lens, the image quality is greatly improved and the interference from the lens flare is significantly reduced. The high-density phase detection pixel embedded in the sensor brings enhanced focus accuracy and speed, while the front camera utilizes a combination of the 5-megapixel OV5695 sensor, FotoNation 2.0 smart beauty technology and face auto-exposure enhancement algorithm.

MEIZU also adopts touch and display driver integration (TDDI) technology in the MX6 for the first time. Instead of using two ICs for touch and display driving respectively, TDDI technology integrates touch and display driving in one chip. This technology reduces the power consumption during operation and produces a better display effect. Another advantage of the MX6's full in-cell screen is that it integrates dual-touch sensing in its LCD screen to further optimize the touch component and significantly improve the touch performance.

An aviation aluminum magnesium alloy, which is light but durable, is selected as the body material for MX6 and over a hundred precise processes are needed to render the perfect body design. Among these processes are CNC cutting and engraving, PBT nano-molding, 360-degree high-precision grinding, 3D sand blasting, and colored anodizing. The MX6 also inherits MEIZU's unique cambered antenna design, with the well-designed curve of the antenna echoing the edges and angles of the body and reflecting the simple and elegant beauty of geometry.

Other features include a MediaTek flagship processor, Helio X20, the world's first mobile processor with a 10-core Tri-cluster structure. The Tri-cluster structure of the Helio X20 enables dynamic switching among modules based on different task demands.

The MX6 is also equipped with a T880 GPU which increases the unit performance by 80% and energy efficiency by 40% compared to previous T760. It also supports the latest OpenGL® ES 3.1 / DirectX® 11.2 standard. The handset is also backed by a 3060mA (typ.) battery and features mCharge 2.1 technology which offers 25% charge in 10 minutes and full charge in 75 minutes.

"MEIZU added the MX series to its product line back in 2011 to provide more options for consumers who value smartphone features," said Li Nan, MEIZU's Vice President. "A variety of MEIZU's well received features, such as the all-metal body, front fingerprint sensor, ultra-thin bezel, and breathing home button, were first implemented in MX series products and the MX6 is yet another way for us to connect with our customers. We believe it will be a great product in all aspects and we look forward to its becoming popular in the market."

The new MEIZU MX6 is available in silver, gray, gold and rose gold at USD 300(RMB 1,999) (4GB+32GB).

About MEIZU

Founded in 2003, MEIZU has become one of the most influential smartphone makers and mobile Internet brands in China. Its user loyalty was second only to Apple in 2015, according to The Study of Mobile Phone Purchase Decision form Sina Tech.

Based on user preference, MEIZU develops a series of smartphones and optimizes the Flyme operation system customized from Android. The company now carries three smartphone lines, the PRO, MX and m series, and has released almost 20 models. According to statistics from IC Insights, MEIZU is the world's 11(th) largest mobile phone manufacturer in terms of unit sales.

Nunulo VR Launches on Kickstarter, Bringing Better and More Comfortable Virtual Reality Experience to Users Regardless of Visual Acuity

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Nunulo VR solves the problem of motion sickness and eye strain that is common among the first generation of virtual reality headsets. The cardboard frame houses two precision-engineered lenses that users can adjust to accommodate their unique visual parameters. Even users who wear glasses can see images in clear focus, thanks to the Nunulo VR.

More information about NOONBiT, the company behind this innovative device, is available at http://www.nunulo.com.

"I've noticed that most VR head mount devices on the market today are created in a manner that does not consider distinct eye conditions," says Founder and CEO James Kim, who has leveraged a background in optometry to bring a fresh perspective to the VR user experience. "This can lead to the deterioration of the eyes of users as well as headaches, dizziness and nausea. We've designed the Nunulo VR to be adjustable to each user's specific visual circumstances, which will minimize eye strain so that users can enjoy virtual reality content more comfortably."

Shortcomings of Current VR Technology

While the VR revolution is still in its early stages, early adopters have already reported problems ranging from dizziness and nausea to headaches and eye fatigue. These symptoms are the result of several factors, and can surface after only 10 or 15 minutes of use. For one thing, most VR lenses are made of a non-coated acrylic material, which is hard on the eyes. In addition, lenses tend to fog up and amplify the strain and hindrance to the visual field. It's even possible that the current lineup of popular VR devices could cause eyesight deterioration over the long term.

Unfortunately, the first generation of VR headsets have been designed as one-size-fits-all devices that can't be adjusted. But when it comes to vision, one size does not fit all. That fact was the chief inspiration behind Kim's invention of the Nunulo VR device. 

The Nunulo VR Solution

The Nunulo VR has been engineered to give users a far better experience, as well as open up the world of virtual reality to those who have been excluded by other devices. The science is straightforward; the human eye has two key mechanisms for perceiving images, convergence and focus. Nunulo VR supports both of these mechanisms, all but significantly reduces chances of experiencing motion sickness.

The Nunulo VR's breakthrough is its adjustable lenses. Users can move the lenses from side to side to fit the distance between their pupils, and then rotate the lenses to bring images into sharp focus. The result is a crystal-clear, immersive and fun VR experience. The lens frame will also accommodate new types of lenses currently in development. Nunulo VR supports all smartphones with screen sizes ranging from 4 to 6 inches.

Today, Nunulo VR is a consumer-ready product. Those who have tested the device report great experiences. Several of these testimonials can be seen on the Kickstarter page. To achieve large-scale production and get Nunulo VR to the masses, NOONBiT is asking for the community's support through Kickstarter (http://kck.st/2a5e1bH).

-- InRow DX cuts energy by 50 percent over first generation technology.

-- Delivers industry leading energy efficiency for high capacity loads.

-- Features lowered energy costs as the most efficient system of its class, enhanced controls, and a new user interface.

ANDOVER, Mass., July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, today introduced the second generation of the InRow DX (direct expansion) 600mm as the latest addition to the InRow product line, expanding Schneider Electric's vast cooling portfolio to meet the evolving cooling needs of an ever-changing data center environment. Providing the high density cooling data center managers need to maintain critical facility temperatures, the InRow DX features lowered energy costs, enhanced controls, and a new user interface as the most efficient system of its class.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160719/390925

This second generation release significantly improves cooling efficiency by reducing power consumption while also increasing capacity. Capable of high-density cooling up to 42kW with a 4000 SCFM max airflow in a small 600mm-wide footprint, Schneider Electric's InRow DX solution provides the highest partial-load energy savings in the industry, cutting energy consumption by 50 percent over first generation technology. This savings is enabled by the use of new brushless variable speed scroll compressors and EC fans, making the new InRow DX 600mm the most efficient system of its class.

Pay as you Grow

The InRow DX design closely couples cooling with the IT heat load, preventing hot air recirculation, while improving cooling predictability and allowing for a pay as you grow environment. Available in self-contained, fluid-cooled, and air-cooled configurations with or without humidity control, these products meet the diverse requirements for closet, server room, and data center cooling.

Active Flow Control

The addition of Active Flow Control, which measures air pressure inside the containment system and automatically adjusts fan speed to match the exact airflow of the IT equipment, increases precision and efficiency. With an improved user-friendly design, the InRow DX also features an intuitive 4.3-inch color touch screen display and network card, to provide fast, easy access to data and increased visibility into cooling system performance.

"Data center managers face numerous obstacles on the path towards efficiency, including growing performance needs resulting in higher density systems, tightening energy regulations and pressure to reduce OpEx," said Anne-Marie Gignac, VP, Cooling Business, Schneider Electric. "The latest generation of InRow direct expansion cooling puts efficiency and cost savings at the forefront for users, delivering the greatest partial-load energy savings available in a small but powerful system."

The InRow DX 600mm is now available for purchase worldwide. For more information on Schneider Electric's InRow product line, please visit the Schneider Electric InRow Direct Expansion web page.

Canon U.S.A. Expands Their 4K Projector Lineup With The Robust And Versatile REALiS 4K501ST Pro AV LCOS Projector

REALiS 4K501ST Projector's Impressive Combination of Outstanding Image Quality, Advanced Features and Enhanced Connectivity makes it Ideal for a Wide Range of Markets and Applications

MELVILLE, N.Y., July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today unveiled the REALiS 4K501ST Pro AV LCOS Projector which incorporates all of the same features as Canon's current award-winning REALiS 4K500ST, as well as an enhanced video interface that offers two HDMI version 2.0 inputs with HDCP 2.2 support. Other features include native 4K resolution of 4096 x 2400, up to 5000 lumens(1) and Canon's LCOS Technology with AISYS-enhancement for brilliant, high-brightness and detailed image reproduction. The REALiS 4K501ST also offers a Genuine Canon 4K lens and a robust collection of advanced image adjustment and professional install setting features, including Marginal Focus which helps ensure content projected on the peripheral portions of domed surfaces remains in focus. At only 39.6 pounds, this model also offers one of the most compact and lightweight form factors of a high brightness 4K projector.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160119/323578LOGO

The REALiS 4K501ST projector's compact size, capability to reproduce 4K content at 60Hz via a single HDMI cable(2), and its impressive combination of outstanding image quality and advanced features make this product accessible to a wide range of markets from museums and galleries to higher education, and specialized applications like immersive simulation and training which require amazing image quality but may have limited spacing. 

"4K projection display is becoming ever more popular and by offering enhanced connectivity, Canon will be able to reach new markets interested in 4K projection technology," said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and chief operating officer, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "This projector's highly detailed 4K resolution, LCOS Technology, advanced Canon optical and image processing technologies, and versatile performance help empower users to bring content to life."

Native 4K Resolution 
At 4096 x 2400, the REALiS 4K501ST projector's native 4K resolution is made up of more than 9.8 million pixels - higher than the Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) standard for 4K cinema (4096 x 2160) and more than QFHD (3840 x 2160), the resolution standard for 4K TV. This higher resolution can be a critical factor for those applications like simulation and training and design and engineering, which may require larger vertical display areas.

Genuine Canon 4K Lens
The 4K501ST projector comes equipped with a specially designed Genuine Canon 4K short focus wide zoom lens and throw ratio of 1.0 - 1.3:1, allowing it to project a 10-foot wide image from an approximate distance of only 10 feet. This projection lens possesses advanced spherical focus capabilities derived from Canon's renowned L-Series EF camera lenses which is distinguished by a bold red ring around the outer barrel. The lens delivers superb performance due to such sophisticated Canon optical technologies as ultra-low dispersion (UD) glass, aspherical lens elements and super spectra multi lens coatings. The lens also includes a Marginal Focus feature which helps ensure content projected on the peripheral portions of domed surfaces remains in focus.

LCOS Technology with AISYS-enhancement
The 4K501ST is the newest member of the REALiS Projector series which all feature Canon's LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) Technology with AISYS-enhancement. This advanced technology, which is achieved by Canon's proprietary AISYS (Aspectual Illumination System) Optical Engine maximizing the performance of three LCOS panels, is renowned for delivering virtually seamless images with outstanding color reproduction, and low-latency playback for improved display of video content. This unique engine is critical in helping to ensure the 4K501ST projector delivers an ideal combination of both brightness (up to 5000 lumens) and contrast ratio (up to 3000:1), while also helping the projector maintain a small form factor - a very important issue for applications with limited spacing, and those that may require an upgrade of an existing lower resolution unit of similar size.

The 4K501ST projector is also able to deliver a virtually consistent level of brightness throughout its zoom range thanks to the combination of the AISYS Optical Engine and the advanced optical technologies found within the projector's Genuine Canon 4K lens.

Image Processing
The REALiS 4K501ST projector also integrates powerful dual image processing engines that execute such complex tasks as smooth reproduction of uncompressed 4K video at up to 60 fps, and two upscaling technologies, BiCubic and Canon's proprietary Sharp Trace which detects contours of an image in a diagonal direction and performs interpolation, to help optimize 2K video and other non-native 4K resolution content.

Advanced image adjustments and system settings on the REALiS 4K501ST also include the following optional features:

    --  Dynamic Gamma: analyzes individual areas of an image for specific,
        independent contrast adjustment so light and dark areas do not appear
        over- or underexposed.
    --  Memory Color Correction: enhances skin tones and other color features
        for rich, vivid results that look striking to the human eye.
    --  Motion Blur Reduction: offers three different modes (Strong, Low and
        Off) for improved visibility when video content movement is fast(3).
The Canon REALiS 4K501ST projector also offers six different pre-set image modes, as well as three customizable image modes, to help optimize quality based on content type and projection environment. The projector's special DICOM® Simulation Mode can be ideal for displaying monochrome digital X-rays, CAT scans, and MRIs with superb grayscale gradation. This mode, which offers both clear and blue base color temperature presets, simulates the results of devices compliant with the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Part 14 standard(4).

Ease of Installation and Maintenance
The small form factor and weight (39.6 pounds) of the Canon REALiS 4K501ST projector allows this model to be installed in a wide range of applications and environments. Motorized Lens Shift, Zoom and Focus, 360-degree Vertical Installation(5), 4-Point Keystone Correction and a variety of other advanced professional calibration settings provide further installation versatility, including:

    --  Built-in Edge Blending: enables the projection of one seamless, large
        image from multiple projectors without the need of special software.
    --  Advanced Registration: allows independent position adjustment of the
        three primary colors (RGB) with high accuracy (0.1 Pixel) ultimately
        helping to reduce blurred colors or lines often projected at the edge of
        an image.
Versatile Connectivity

Generous industry-standard connectivity on the Canon REALiS 4K501ST projector includes two HDMI (version 2.0) and four DVI inputs supporting single, stripe and cross configurations for 4K, 2K or HD video playback. This model also supports PJLink(TM) which makes it possible to control and monitor the projector over a network, making it easier than ever to observe lamp hours, usage and more. For even more control, the REALiS 4K501ST projector is a Crestron Connected® device and support AMX® Device Discovery.

Price and Availability
The Canon REALiS 4K501ST Pro AV LCOS Projector has a suggested list price of $58,990 and is scheduled to be available through authorized Canon dealers by October(*). The Canon REALiS 4K501ST is backed by the Canon Projector and Lamp Limited Warranty, and the Company's award-winning Professional Service & Support which includes a Three-Year Advanced Warranty Exchange Service Program and a Service Loaner Program.

VOXXHirschmann Introduces EVO, the Next Generation in Automotive Rear Seat Vehicle Infotainment, Bringing the In-Home TV Entertainment Experience to Your Car

General Motors Among Growing List of Automotive Manufacturers Committed to Deploying EVO Technology in Upcoming Vehicle Models

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX), a leading manufacturer and distributor of Automotive and Consumer technologies for the global markets, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, VOXXHirschmann, will officially launch its next generation Evolution Series ("EVO") Rear Seat Vehicle Infotainment ("RSI") solution with an initial OEM contract award by General Motors ("GM") for forthcoming model 2018, 2019 and 2020 vehicles. This is the first delivery on three contract awards for the new EVO system which is currently undergoing extensive evaluations by multiple domestic and international automotive manufacturers. Contract award details were not disclosed.

Commenting on today's announcement, Pat Lavelle, President and CEO of VOXX International Corporation stated, "With EVO, we are redefining rear seat vehicle infotainment, moving far beyond DVD-based systems intended to entertain our children, to a truly mobile, wireless infotainment hub for global vehicles.

We look forward to working with GM and our other OEM partners to bring the vision of the Connected Car to life."

The EVO product line represents the evolution of rear seat vehicle infotainment, replacing legacy DVD-based players, allowing users to create and securely log into their own wireless in-car rear-seat infotainment networks and share and stream media content across all occupants of the vehicle regardless of whether the content is stored and viewed on the EVO system or stored and viewed on a passenger's mobile device. The EVO system accepts content from SD card and HDMI/USB-based devices, supports Miracast and DLNA functionality, and features the EVO Slingplayer, providing consumers with a live TV experience in the car through VOXXHirschmann's exclusive partnership with Sling Media. Through the embedded EVO Slingplayer, Slingbox users can connect through an in-car Wi-Fi hotspot and watch the same cable/satellite television package they have in their home including on-demand and previously recorded DVR content.

The EVO family of products feature:

    --  Larger (8", 10.1" and up), high resolution screens designed for
        Headrest, Seatback, Center Console and Overhead installations
    --  Digital Bluetooth connection to the vehicle's infotainment system for
        high-quality audio playback
    --  Traditional "D-Pad" mini remote and mobile smart device app control
        system facilitating control from a smartphone or directly from the
        vehicle's center stack
    --  Enhanced, intuitive user interface
    --  Portable device charging
    --  Smart device connectivity & content sharing
    --  Simplified vehicle integration with the ability to add EVO to a vehicle
        independent of its existing CAN network
    --  Flexible architecture designed for feature expansion and updating to
        meet the changing mobile environment
    --  Distributed content playback which allows all screens and smart devices
        to view the same movie simultaneously
Michael Schroeder, Senior Vice President, Sales and Business Development with VOXXHirschmann added, "EVO reflects our ongoing commitment to develop reliable and cost-effective solutions for OEMs that deliver the advanced technology consumers demand with simple to integrate designs and features. We have a longstanding history with GM and commend them for their ongoing commitment to deliver the most innovative solutions to their customers."

Mr. Schroeder continued, "VOXXHirschmann, through the combination of our OEM resources is a market leader in antennas, tuners, remote start and vehicle access systems, and has been a leader in rear-seat entertainment since the market's inception.

Zebra Technologies' New Enterprise-Class Access Points Boost Wireless Network Performance and Actionable Insights

Zebra AP8432 and AP8533 offer greater network support for mobile devices, location-aware customer engagement and the ability to connect with any third-party Internet of Things network

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a global leader in providing solutions and services that give enterprises real-time visibility into their operations, today introduced two new access points (APs) offering greater network performance, stronger customer engagement and Internet of Things (IoT) support for organizations in industries including retail, hospitality, healthcare, transportation and logistics, and manufacturing. By embedding dedicated sensors that collect data across the entire expanse of the network, the new enterprise-class AP8432 and AP8533 access points offer "visibility that's visionary," delivering actionable insights and secure connections in a cost-effective way.

KEY FACTS

    --  With 802.11ac Wave 2 APs from Zebra, enterprises can deliver a
        dramatically higher density network with the sensors needed to measure,
        monitor and secure each connection.
    --  The AP8432 and AP8533 includes Zebra's Triple Sensor Technology which
        can automatically ward off RF interference and security risks, push
        relevant contextual offers and services to consumers and provide
        strategic-shaping analytics.
    --  Zebra's Triple Sensor Technology is comprised of three integrated
        powerful sensors - a dedicated network sensor, Bluetooth(®) sensor and
        RF spectrum sensor - that can optimize security, customer engagement and
        network performance. Unlike other sensors that can only scan part-time,
        the dedicated, dual-band 802.11ac sensor continuously scans for rogue
        devices.
    --  The AP8432 features built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE-out), enabling it
        to connect to IP video cameras, wireless temperature sensors or any
        other third-party IoT network.
    --  Both the AP8432 and AP8533 are integrated with Zebra's WiNG5 intelligent
        distributed architecture, and future support for Zebra's Azara Cloud
        networking solution will offer unparalleled scalability and ease of
        deployment.
    --  Zebra support services are available to ensure every phase of the WLAN
        lifecycle is optimized from planning and implementation to
        post-deployment.

New Compact MXK-F219 From Zhone Technologies Reaches New Heights With Size-to-Performance Ratio Compared to Previous Models

OAKLAND, Calif., July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE) has introduced the MXK-F219, an aggregation platform that supports fiber-based triple play services in a compact chassis that is 86 percent smaller than previous MXK-F models. The MXK-F219 is designed to support up to 160 Gigabits per second (Gbps) of network interface capacity.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160718/390656

"We introduced the MXK-F219 to our series of aggregation platforms as part of a commitment to design equipment that will work for next generation services," said Eric Presworsky, chief technology officer for Zhone Technologies. "This advanced platform is versatile and can be used for enterprise environments and service provider applications alike, to optimize networks for future advancements."

Designed on the same architecture as the first two MXK-F14xx chassis introduced in October 2015, the MXK-F219 platform is built for advanced optical networks and designed to support bandwidth-hungry services but in a smaller footprint. MXK-F14xx models measure 14 rack units (RU), whereas the MXK-F219 measures 2 RU. The MXK-F219 has redundant pluggable AC power supplies so there is no need for the additional rectifier equipment that is required for larger MXK-F platforms, further reducing the required rack space making it an ideal solution for enterprise environments. The new platform also supports the same services as the MXK-F14xx chassis, including Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPON), Active Ethernet, XG(S)PON and NGPON2 services.

The MXK-F219 supports two line cards and mounts in a 19-inch rack, offering customers a more cost-effective, lower-density solution than previous MXK-F models. The model can support up to 128-splits per Optical Line Terminal (OLT) port, and more than 4,000 Optical Network Terminals (ONT). Additionally, in FiberLAN applications, one MXK-F219 chassis can support up to 16,000 Ethernet ports.

Multi-Channel Appeal of Scientific Games Jackpot Party and Gold Fish Brands Building Fan Base, Driving Lottery Instant Games Sales

Popularity of Lottery, Interactive and Casino Game Experiences Demonstrates Cross-Over Appeal and Unique Availability of Company's Entertainment Content

LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA, July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games Corporation ("Scientific Games" or the "Company") today announced that two of the Company's popular casino games brands are proving their multi-channel appeal since debuting as lottery games earlier this year. Jackpot Party®, a Scientific Games brand featured in slots and interactive gaming products, debuted as a lottery game on a $5 instant game created for the New York Lottery in February. The new Jackpot Party instant game has established a strong following with New York players. The company's multi-channel Gold Fish® brand is also showing its cross-channel appeal after debuting on a $2 Ohio Lottery instant game in March. After eight weeks, the Gold Fish instant game performed better than all other $2 Ohio Lottery instant games offered in the last fiscal year.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160718/390620

With a top prize of $500,000 to $1 million, the all-new New York Lottery Jackpot Party instant game offers players unique entertainment experiences across the lottery, interactive and casino game experiences. The lottery instant game features a bonus game on the back of the ticket with five more chances to win cash prizes instantly. Players can scan a QR code on the ticket with their mobile phone to go directly to the Jackpot Party second-chance promotion on the New York Lottery Sweepstakes website. They can also download and play the exciting Jackpot Party mobile/social game from the site. To participate in the promotion, players enter codes from their non-winning Jackpot Party instant games for a chance to win a Grand Prize VIP trip to New York City for an exclusive Jackpot Party event where they can win up to $25,000 cash. Other prizes include Jackpot Party instant game prize packs, New York Lottery gift cards, and Jackpot Party free-play vouchers redeemable at New York racinos.

Gardner Gurney, Director of the New York Lottery, said, "We are always searchng for ways to work collectively with the video gaming facilities within New York and Jackpot Party has offered us this opportunity. As a game offered at some of the video gaming venues in New York, this game was perfect for crossing over to our lottery portfolio. Just as video gaming customers expect bonusing opportunities, the back of the Jackpot Party instant game offers lottery players similar bonus opportunities to win. New York players have been receptive to the instant game, we see Jackpot Party as a brand with omni-channel appeal."

The Ohio Lottery's Gold Fish instant game connects the lottery retail experience to a highly-engaging, interactive second-chance game with social sharing components. Players enter non-winning tickets online for the chance to win $20,000 prizes. The interactive game takes players on an under-the-sea adventure with the opportunity to win instant cash prizes of $25 and $50, as well as virtual coins, fish food, gear and decor. Players advance through various levels of challenges and achievements in the animated game by "feeding" their virtual pet gold fish and creating a healthy undersea environment. Social log-in and leaderboards allow players to compete and post their scores and wins, deepening the game experience.

Dennis Berg, Director of the Ohio Lottery, said, "The Gold Fish brand is a popular VLT game in our Ohio racinos, so it was a natural cross-over to a lottery instant game. The Gold Fish instant game is performing well in our $2 game category."

Michael Lightman, Senior Vice President, Lottery Interactive at Scientific Games, said, "This is really the beginning of some fantastic cross-over brand innovation developed by Scientific Games since the integration of Bally(TM) and WMS® content following our mergers. Our player motivation-based segmentation study across lottery and gaming consumers in Europe and the U.S. showed us that 74 percent of casino slot machine players also play lottery instant games. Incorporating our popular casino brands into lottery products introduces lottery to other gaming enthusiasts while the innovative game attributes designed into these new games will help deepen engagement with existing players ."

The Company provides games, technology and services to more than 1,500 lottery and casino customers globally.
