Boeing Opens Collaborative Autonomous Systems Laboratory in Missouri

Researchers will develop and validate systems that enable teamwork between autonomous vehicles

ST. CHARLES, Mo., June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] today opened a new research laboratory to test hardware and software that will make a new generation of autonomous air, sea and land vehicles work together more effectively as a team or unit.

The lab will serve as the company's leading location for collaborative autonomous technology development with academic institutions and research partners, including government agencies and other companies.

Boeing leaders were joined by St. Charles Mayor Sally Faith, St. Charles County Executive Steve Ehlmann and employees for a ribbon-cutting and demonstrations of the lab capabilities.

"Collaborative technology is at the forefront of innovation for taking advanced vehicles that already carry out dull, dirty or dangerous work, such as assisting in search and rescue, firefighting and military missions, and making them even more effective," said Nancy Pendleton, leader of the Boeing Research & Technology Missouri research center. "This lab provides us an outstanding environment to experiment and innovate with a variety of autonomous vehicles and the systems and sensors that drive them, from small unmanned aerial vehicles to unmanned undersea vehicles."

The 8,100-square-foot (753 square-meters) Collaborative Autonomous Systems Laboratory is dedicated to the development, maturation and validation of autonomous and multi-vehicle collaboration technologies.

The cornerstone of the lab is an 80,000-cubic-foot motion capture system that allows the facility to simultaneously operate multiple unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles. The indoor flying test range contains a high-resolution blended projection system for the development and testing of vision-based technologies, such as image processing algorithms or detection of moving objects in scenery. The projection system can work in concert with the motion capture system and high-fidelity simulations to support live-virtual testing in realistic simulated scenarios. The facility also includes an enclosed, vented area that enables an around-the-clock reliable test environment and access to Global Positioning System and other signals used for ground testing and static engine runs of small UAVs.

"Autonomy is revolutionizing our world and this lab will be an important part of our mission to deliver solutions across air, land and sea for global customers," said Kory Mathews, vice president of Autonomous Systems, a division of Boeing Military Aircraft also headquartered in St. Louis.   

The CASL is part of the Boeing Research & Technology-Missouri (BR&T-Missouri) research center. Other BR&T-Missouri research labs and capabilities include the Non-Destructive Test Lab, the Human Systems Integration Center and a Polymer Synthesis Lab. More than 700 engineers, technicians and staff at BR&T-Missouri develop a variety of technologies that involve systems, digital aviation and support, rate-independent production and next-generation materials.

BR&T is the company's advanced research and development organization, providing technologies that enable the development of future aerospace solutions while improving the cycle time, cost, quality and performance of existing Boeing products and services. BR&T has 11 research centers around the world in Australia, Brazil, China, Europe, India, Russia and the United States, including Alabama, California, Missouri, South Carolina and Washington.

Brave Diggers, new iOS/Android title from R2Games launching globally.

SHENZHEN, China, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Global games publisher R2Games has just unveiled the latest addition to their mobile library: Brave Diggers.

Brave Diggers is not a simple game to define. This brand new title sets itself apart with elements from classic RPGs, idle progress games, and classical era retro games, resulting in a fresh and unique experience expertly tailored to the mobile market.

The focus of the game is to explore a vast fantasy world whilst collecting gear, companions, treasures, EXP, and other unique items along the way. Each stage has particular challenges and enemies that must be defeated in order to progress. At any time, players can mine for resources that will allow them to improve their characters and gear, so combat is not the only way to progress. Additionally, Brave Diggers has parody references and jokes about all kinds of pop-culture and manga characters in spades. Though the game rewards active participation, players are given the liberty to play at their own pace, yet not fall behind. This is due to characters constantly gaining EXP and gold, even when the device is off.

Brave Diggers will be available for download for free from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store on June 30th, 2016.

Huawei Launches End-to-End NB-IoT Solution at Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2016

Solution to be Commercialized on a Large Scale by End-2016

SHANGHAI, June 30, 2016 /CNW/ -- At today's Internet of Things (IoT) Summit during Mobile World Congress Shanghai (MWC Shanghai) 2016, Huawei launched its end-to-end Narrow-band IoT (NB-IoT) Solution to help global operators expand their IoT services into new markets. Huawei is committed to providing comprehensive technologies and business support services for the upcoming large-scale commercialization of IoT, and enabling telecom operators' to turn IoT into a basic service in the future.

The end-to-end NB-IoT Solution includes: Smart Device Solution enabled by Huawei LiteOS and NB-IoT Chipset; eNodeB base stations that can smoothly evolve to NB-IoT; the IoT Packet Core that supports flexible deployment of Core in a Box and network functions virtualization (NFV); and a cloud-based IoT Connection Management Platform with big data capabilities. This solution is designed to meet operators' requirements for IoT services with low-power and wide-area (LPWA) coverage. Developed based on 3GPP standards, the solution underpins flexible networking under various industry and use scenarios. In addition, the solution's devices and platform can be made easily accessible to NB-IoT device and application partners, which makes it possible to rapidly achieve business innovation and scenario-based customization.

The NB-IoT Solution will be available in September 2016. Huawei plans to conduct a large commercial trial in the fourth quarter of this year and release the solution for large-scale commercial use in late December.

"The number of cellular IoT connections worldwide will grow seven-fold over the next three to four years. NB-IoT will be a key driver for this trend - it will also be one of the key untapped markets for operators," said Jiang Wangcheng, Vice President of the Marketing & Solutions Department under Huawei's Products and Solutions division. "In 2015, Huawei launched the '1+2+1' IoT ICT Strategy. As commercial deployment draws near, our end-to-end NB-IoT Solution will be part of our core IoT strategy and drive the commercialization of IoT applications. Apart from that, we are also building up a robust ecosystem where we aim to explore new business areas together with our carrier customers and partners. At Huawei, we are very confident and fully ready to enter a new era of IoT commercialization."

As part of Huawei's "1+2+1" IoT ICT Strategy, the end-to-end NB-IoT Solution creates multiple benefits for operators' IoT services.

    --  Ensures rapid full network coverage of NB-IoT: The solution focuses on
        operators' IoT infrastructure. Its SingleRAN architecture will allow
        operators to evolve their networks, reduce network costs, extend NB-IoT
        connections worldwide, and increase market share. With an NFV-based
        cloud architecture, the IoT Packet Core supports the flexible deployment
        of physical network elements. This flexibility enables shorter
        time-to-market, lower operation and maintenance workloads, and lower
        energy consumption, all of which are crucial to delivering IoT services.
    --  Enables industry-specific smart NB-IoT devices: Huawei LiteOS provides
        protocol stacks with low-power consumption that can be directly invoked
        by developers. Huawei LiteOS can also work with the NB-IoT chips and IoT
        platforms of Huawei and third parties to shorten the time-to-market of
        smart NB-IoT devices.
    --  Opens up and enables industry-specific applications to maximize the
        value of connectivity: With IoT agent, the cloud-based IoT Connection
        Management Platform enables open connection management, open big data
        capabilities, and open innovation for industry-specific applications.
        These functions can support faster adoption of NB-IoT across industries,
        and maximize the value of connectivity for operators and industry
        customers.
In addition to pursuing technological innovation and developing leading solutions, Huawei has proactively built a strong NB-IoT ecosystem as part of its goal to drive a thriving IoT industry. So far, Huawei has helped operators build NB-IoT open labs to accelerate the development of smart NB-IoT devices and applications. In the third quarter of 2016, Huawei will launch SoftRadio, a software suite that allows developers to access NB-IoT labs via the Internet for remote innovation and commissioning. Huawei will also release an IoT open lab whitepaper to provide detailed guidance and support for developers to access and use the open labs.

Huawei has also made significant progress in IoT business development. Before the NB-IoT standards have been finalized, Huawei has worked with global partners to conduct pre-standard service and application testing to better meet customer needs, catalyze industry innovation, and optimize technical solutions. Just within the first half of 2016, Huawei has completed multiple joint projects with customers. For example, Huawei has worked with Etisalat to test smart parking services and applications; joined forces with South East Water (Australia) and Australian operators (VHA and Optus) to initiate a testing on an NB-IoT smart water management system; and signed a strategic partnership agreement with China Telecom and Shenzhen Water Group to make smart water management a reality.

At the IoT Summit, Jiang Wangcheng delivered a keynote speech themed 'Building Open NB-IoT Solution and Ecosystem'. During the MWC Shanghai, Huawei's IoT exhibition booth will demonstrate the end-to-end NB-IoT Solution, including its technical details, use scenarios, and commercialization plan.

Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2016 takes place at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC), China, from June 29th to July 1st. Huawei will showcase its latest products and solutions at the main booth in Hall N1 A40 and "Innovation City" booth in Hall N3 A40.

MEDION Brings Trend-setting Consumer Electronics Products to European Consumers with DHL's New Multimodal Service

Inaugural shipment from Taiwan to Lodz spanned 10,000 km in 21 days -- at up to half the time of sea freight and a third of the cost of air freight

TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DHL Global Forwarding, the leading international provider of air, sea and road freight services, today announced the successful on-time completion of German consumer electronics manufacturer MEDION's first multimodal rail delivery from Taiwan to Europe. MEDION, a Lenovo company, has been the first to trial DHL's new multimodal service via Xiamen, China which cuts its shipping time and costs by up to half and two-thirds respectively compared to its previous ocean and air freight options.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20150811/8521505246LOGO

A leading manufacturer of consumer electronic products such as smartphones, laptops, personal computers and video cameras in Germany, MEDION offers innovative, functional and high-quality products direct to consumers as well as through some of the world's largest international retailers. MEDION's products are distributed across Europe, Scandinavia, UK, US, Canada and Asia.

"The success of our business lies in being able to provide consumers direct and timely access to our products and also managing and controlling the entire value chain for our retail partners," said a spokesperson of MEDION AG. "With DHL's expertise in shipping for the consumer electronics sector, our products are delivered on time in a cost-efficient way -- an important element as we continue to grow and sustain our market share throughout Europe and other regions."

An extension of DHL's multimodal network, the company's new service for MEDION saw their electronics goods and components transported from Taichung, Taiwan to Xiamen via sea; before embarking on a rail journey through Chengdu, China to Lodz, Poland. From there, shipments are routed to MEDION's main operations in Germany.

"Our multimodal solutions offer MEDION additional freight options and complement the existing DHL air, ocean and road freight services that they are already using. The successful inaugural shipment shows the service's capabilities in supporting MEDION in its Europe-wide growth strategy," said Steve Huang, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding China. "As 'Belt and Road' comes into force, we expect rail to undergo a renaissance for European and Chinese enterprises, particularly those working with electronics and manufacturing hubs along our routes like Taichung and Xiamen."

"Fast, efficient trade routes are critical for businesses looking to take advantage of both China and Europe's consumer markets and production capabilities," said Charles Kaufmann, CEO, North Asia and Head of Value Added Services, DHL Global Forwarding Asia Pacific. "Early adopters to multimodal services like MEDION gain not only greater efficiency, but a competitive edge in speed-to-market and responsiveness to demand that less nimble enterprises will find it hard to catch up with."

The new multimodal service sees DHL build on its existing multimodal network which connects Taiwan, Japan and China to continental Europe via Russia and Central Asia. DHL's multimodal routes are closely mapped to China's "Belt and Road" initiative with the Silk Road Economic Belt and Maritime Silk Road.

Verizon and Samsung unveil 4G LTE Network Extender for homes and businesses

New device uses 4G LTE small cell technology to enhance voice and data coverage for small business locations and residences

BASKING RIDGE and RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J., June 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon and the Networks Division of Samsung Electronics America, Inc. today unveiled a new 4G LTE Network Extender designed to enhance wireless voice communications and deliver robust data coverage for residential and business locations.

The new solution works like a miniature 4G LTE cell tower in homes or business environments within a 7,500 square foot area, providing HD Voice coverage and fast 4G LTE data speeds for up to seven devices with an eighth channel reserved for 911 calls. Additionally, the 4G LTE Network Extender is designed for self-installation, and uses Samsung's self-optimizing network technology to automatically learn its surroundings and adjust its coverage to improve user experience. The 4G LTE Network Extender also ensures seamless transition to Verizon's 4G LTE network if sufficient coverage overlap exists.

Ixonos and Maxicaster Pilot Mobile TV Onboard Viking Line´s Tallinn Route - Making Viking Line XPRS the First Ship on the Baltic Sea Providing Mobile TV to Passengers

HELSINKI, June 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Viking Line wants to cherish the unforgettable sports summer filled with Rio Olympics
and UEFA Euro2016 

    Viking Line's TV pilot is integrated with the existing mobile passenger application to
provide integrated digital user experience. The new mobile video streaming capability for
Viking Line App has been designed and delivered in close collaboration with Ixonos,
specialized in user experience design and Maxicaster, a video technology provider. The
Viking Line App, launched originally a year ago, is a joint platform for online shopping,
onboard communications, onboard social media activity and data transfer between ships and
the land organization.

    The passengers of Viking XPRS can watch e.g. UEFA Euro2016 games and Rio Olympics in
High Definition. The channels available in the video streaming pilot include also premium
channels such as CNN, Cartoon Network and Boomerang, so also families travelling with kids
can also enjoy live TV and childrens content while travelling on the Helsinki-Tallinn
route.

    "The mobile app we launched last September has been one of the first onboard
applications in theworld and has made Viking Line the pioneer in utilizing digitalization
in passenger traffic. Our app has been well received, and this summer we want to delight
our Tallinn route passengers with live TV - watchable in their own smartphones or tablets.
For sports lovers Rio Olympics and UEFA Euro2016 are major highlights of the year. There
will be games that most of the people do not want to miss. Bringing TV to everyones'
mobile device also serves frequent route travellers," says Gustaf Eklund, Head of Customer
Business Development.

    Viking Line sees digitalization as a possibility to improve customer experience, build
loyalty, enhance business efficiency and find new revenue models. The Viking Line App
operates in the boat's internal network which ensures its service ability even while
Internet connection is limited. In addition to the new  video streaming service, customers
can plan their trip, design their own cruise programme, browse tax free products as well
as make shopping lists. The app includes social media feature that allows guests to
exchange messages onboard with their fellow travelers using their mobile devices and also
to connect with likeminded people. The solution keeps the passengers aware on what's
happening right now onboard and makes it easy for them to get most out of their time
on-board.

    "This solution is a perfect example of a bigger global trend called In-Venue concepts
where we see digital touchpoints merging with physical world to produce holistic and
omnichannel service experiences. Today more and more venue and transportation operators
are also looking at digital content as an enabler for new business and customer
experience. For example Norwegian airline has brought live-TV to flights six months ago
and Virgin Trains in UK just released their video infotainment system last week. The ship
itself is a challenging environment for digitalization due to limited connectivity. With
Maxicaster satellite services and unique competences on video streaming we have been able
to design a functional, user friendly and reliable solution to work onboard out in the
sea. It is great to work together with Viking Line and Maxicaster teams in the process of
creating unique user experiences of the new era - being the first on the Baltic Sea," says
Mikko Sjöblom, Business Development Director, Ixonos.

    The new 4 month TV pilot on Viking Line XPRS begins on June 29, 2016 - a perfect
timing to delight all summer sports fans and families travelling with kids. UEFA Euro2016
takes place in France during June 10 - July 10 and the Olympics will be held on August 5 -
August 21 in Rio.

    The application is available for free download to iOS and Android smartphones from
AppStore and GooglePlay.

Le MAX 2 Outshines With the New CDLA Technology

MUMBAI, June 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    LeEco reportedly conducted a very successful first flash sale of its second
generations Superphones Le 2 and Le Max2 yesterday, creating yet another impressive
record. The company reported that it secured an online sales record of Rs. 78 crore by
achieving sales orders of over 61,000 units. These numbers reiterate the point that
LeEco's Superphones popularity has been soaring in an unprecedented rate.

    Talking specifically about Le Max2, the Superphone is certainly a class apart when
compared to its peers, and has a definitive edge given its unequaled content ecosystem
proposition, world's first CDLA standard and best-of-breed features. Given this, LeEco's
Le Max2 leads over other flagships and is a clear winner in the smartphone sweepstakes in
India. The unprecedented user response witnessed on the first flash sale of the
Superphones is a testimony to this.

    Here's what makes Le Max2 the most valuable and 24*7 companion for people who are
young at heart! 

    It is a known fact that music cuts across age, gender and geographies and users look
forward to having a supreme experience while consuming music on their smartphones. With
the introduction of CDLA Standard, that enables end-to-end lossless digital music
transmission, LeEco has drastically improved the audio output. This means that music
lovers will now get an enhanced audio experience on their favourite Le Max2 which is
unparalleled. LeEco is the only player globally to have replaced the 3.5mm headphone port
with the world's first CDLA Type-C interface, leading an audio revolution that has
otherwise remained stagnant for decades. CDLA technology is all set to redefine the smart
phone audio technology world by breaking the traditional mobile music experience to
achieve pure digital lossless audio transmission.

    Le Max2 also perfectly responds to the gradual shift in consumer preference of
consuming content on smartphones on the go, rather than on television screens. The
Superphone that comes bundled with one year LeEco Membership is the ideal partner for
people who need entertainment on the go.

    When it comes to entertainment, Le Max2 users will be spoilt for choices. With Le Max2,
users will get access to more than 1.9 million songs with lossless audio, 50+ Big Ticket
International Live Concerts, exclusive live Streaming of major entertainment events &
music concerts worldwide along with 7500+ hours of world class entertainment. LeEco will
also give users a chance to tune into top international live concerts - Live and Offline -
in Lossless Audio. And there's still a lot more. Access to a content library of 2000+
movies and 3000+ hours of curated shows, 150+ live TV channels. Surely, the content
membership alone makes Le Max2 a must-buy. 

    Le Max2 is also a delight for camera lovers and for people who like to capture all
their favourite moments on their smartphones. The Le Max2 sports a
powerful 21-megapixel rear camera of aperture f/2.0, and supports PDAF, optical image
stabilization (OIS) and 4K video recording capabilities. The rear camera on Le Max2 shoots
pictures with great clarity thanks to improved components or technologies like 6P lens,
PDAF, Closed Loop, OIS, HDR and Dual-tone flash and so on. For selfies and video calling,
the Superphone feature an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. On the other hand, OnePlus 3,
settles with a 16-megapixel rear camera and has a selfie shooter of 8-megapixel and offers
features like OIS, phase detection autofocus and single LED flash. Le Max2 has an edge
when it comes to its superior camera quality.

    The Le Max2 comes with a 5.7-inch display running at a resolution of 2560cross1440
pixels. At the heart of the smartphone is Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 820 (MSM8996)
processor paired with 4/6 GB RAM and 32/64 GB on board memory. This Superphone comes
equipped with a 3100mAh battery with the world's leading quick charging technology and
connectivity options such as Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, HSPA+ and 4G/ LTE among others. The
OnePlus 3 has a 5.5-inch screen that offers a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
This also makes Le Max2 a clear winner when it comes to display.

    For people who missed June 28th flash sale, another opportunity is round the corner.
LeEco's 2nd flash sale for Le 2 and Le Max2 will start on July 5th, and the registrations
for them are already underway. Let's see what LeEco has in store for its users in terms of
deals and offers in the upcoming flash sale!

Popular Online Learning Game PaGamO Now Available as Android App

Used by 230,000 Worldwide, PaGamO Is a Proven Educational Performance Booster

TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan, June 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- BoniO Inc., makers of the award-winning online learning game PaGamO, today announced the launch of their Android app version of the popular online game. Just in time for summer, PaGamO now fits in users' pockets, making it perfect for entertaining children during family vacation car trips and for learning on the go for people of all ages, making PaGamO the ultimate portable learning tool.

PaGamO is a unique learning game that allows users to study virtually any subject while competing in a game based on the principles of classic board games like Risk and Settlers of Catan. The game encourages players to build their own kingdom of knowledge, wealth and land by answering questions and solving quizzes. While the game offers academic Common Core-aligned content to hone math and spelling skills, it also offers game missions that allow users to brush up on general knowledge, from science to history to pop culture and news. As a special Independence Day treat, on July 4, PaGamO quizzes will test patriotic knowledge.

Because of the game's innovative design, the learning opportunities with PaGamO go far beyond a typical quiz app. Users engage deeply with the game as they gain more territories by correctly answering questions. In this way, the game harnesses users' competitive drive, motivating them to continue expanding their knowledge. With a game ranking that sparks competition between users and a variety of rewards for advancing in the game, users learn that knowledge and learning have value beyond the four walls of a classroom.

"What's really unique and fun about PaGamO is that you can truly learn about anything in the game," PaGamO founder Professor Benson Yeh explains. "Of course, you can learn academic subjects on different levels, but you can also answer questions on current events or outer space. This unique feature makes the game as fun and useful for a six-year-old as it is for a 16-year-old or 60-year-old. Children, parents and grandparents alike -- we all love to play!"

In addition to inspiring players to expand their territories and knowledge, PaGamO is proven to actually improve players' learning results and self-confidence. Used by thousands of teachers around the globe and counting over 230,000 users already, PaGamO has proven that its benefits exceed those of an ordinary quiz app. In fact, close to 90% of students using PaGamO report that they are able to perform more challenging tasks when practicing content in PaGamO, and 88% of students say they receive educational benefits through playing.

Officially launched in the U.S. market just three months ago as a browser game, PaGamO has grown by leaps and bounds and is now available on smartphones and tablets via the Android app. As Professor Yeh notes, summer is the perfect time for school children to use the app, consolidating their learning advances between school years. Please visit Google Play to download the app. Learn more about PaGamO at http://app.pagamo.org/

Today, VTech® Communications Inc. announced the addition of six new monitors to its award-winning baby monitor line, designed to meet the unique needs of any family. Knowing that parents want everything from fully capable cameras with large displays and automatic night vision to simple audio monitors that blend into the design of a nursery, VTech offers reliable, affordable systems for any household.

Because the company's modern and fun owl-shaped baby monitor was so well-received, VTech has introduced new animal-shaped video and audio baby monitors. In addition, it is expanding the number of products with features such as open/closed sensors, two-way, talk-back intercoms, temperature monitoring and DECT 6.0 digital technology to increase range and help prevent eavesdropping.

"Every family has different needs, so we have taken care to design a spectrum of versatile baby monitors that lets parents choose what is best for their household," said Matt Ramage, senior vice president, sales and product management, VTech. "Our line of monitors is flexible, reliable, modern and fun, providing real value and peace of mind to families and parents."

The increased array of features of VTech's ever-expanding family of Safe&Sound® monitors allow parents to think beyond their current needs and toward the future. VTech's products can be used as children grow and become more independent, and additional monitors can be added to the system to keep track of multiple children in different rooms.

VTech's 2016 baby monitor line includes six new products with rich features at competitive prices:

    --  VTech Safe&Sound Bear Full-Color Video Monitor (VM346) -- This monitor
        features a camera shaped like a teddy bear, giving a cozy, welcoming
        look to any nursery. Full-color video and automatic night vision on a
        large, 4.3-inch LCD screen ensure parents always have the most vivid
        image of their child. When little ones need comforting, parents can use
        the two-way, talk-back intercom without entering their child's room, in
        addition to the monitor's built-in lullaby and soothing sounds. The
        monitor can expand up to four cameras, allowing parents to keep an eye
        on children in multiple rooms at the same time. Digital transmission
        ensures all videos are private and secure, while cutting down on
        background noise.
    --  VTech Safe&Sound Bear 2 Camera Full-Color Video Monitor (VM341-216) --
        This baby monitor comes with a teddy bear-shaped camera and an
        additional standard camera that can be placed in a second location. Both
        cameras feature automatic night vision and full-color video that display
        on a large 4.3-inch LCD screen so parents can see every smile and sigh.
        The two-way, talk-back intercom, in addition to built-in lullaby and
        soothing sounds, lets them comfort their child without entering the
        room. The VM341-216 comes with two cameras, but parents can add up to
        two more to keep an eye on more than one child or room at a time. Thanks
        to digital transmission, they can rest assured their video is private
        and secure.
    --  VTech Safe&Sound Video Monitor with Wide-Angle Lens and Standard Lens
        and VTech Safe&Sound 2 Camera Video Monitor with Wide-Angle Lens and
        Standard Lens (VM342/VM342-2) -- Equipped with a changeable camera lens,
        including a wide-angle view that allows parents to see the entire room,
        the VM342 allows parents to monitor their baby on a full-color, 4.3-inch
        screen. Parents can also soothe their little one without entering the
        room because the monitor comes equipped with lullabies and a two-way,
        talk-back intercom. The camera's automatic night vision allows them to
        see even after bedtime. The VM342-2 comes with two cameras out of the
        box, and the monitors accept up to four cameras so parents can keep an
        eye on more than one child or room at a time.
    --  VTech Safe&Sound Audio Baby Monitor with Open/Closed Sensor (DM271-102)
        -- Parents can keep close tabs on their baby as they go about their day
        with the open/closed sensor, which can be placed on door, cabinet or
        anywhere else they don't want their little adventurer to go. In
        addition, a built-in temperature sensor will let parents know if their
        baby's room gets unexpectedly hot or cold. The unit also comes equipped
        with a glow-on-ceiling night light that projects the moon and stars onto
        the ceiling, and the ability to play a gentle lullaby to help baby get
        some shut eye. The monitor also features a two-way, talk-back intercom
        and up to 1,000 feet of range, so parents can stay connected from any
        room in the house as they go about their day.
    --  VTech Safe&Sound DECT 6.0 Digital Audio Baby Monitor (DM225) -- The
        adorable owl shape of this DECT 6.0 audio monitor adds a fun look to a
        baby's room, while the built-in night light around the owl's eyes
        provides a gentle glow. This model has up to 1,000 feet of range so
        parents can clip on the parent unit and move about their house, or even
        the yard, with confidence they are still getting a signal. Plus, they
        can rest assured their monitor is protected against interference and
        eavesdropping thanks to DECT 6.0 technology.
