Siklu Announces Affordable 60GHz Radio for Interference-Free Connectivity on the Street
Carrier-grade performance from the new EtherHaul-500 makes it ideal for upgrading congested 5GHz networks
FAIR LAWN, N. J., June 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Siklu, the leader in millimeter wave wireless solutions, announces an affordable V-band radio for providing interference-free connectivity on the street. Operating in the 60GHz band, the new EtherHaul-500 provides predictable and reliable performance, perfect for upgrading congested 5GHz networks.
http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20160620/8521604039
The 60GHz band is characterized by abundant license-free spectrum, minimal reflections and narrow beam-width that enable dense link deployment. This makes solutions operating in 60GHz ideal for upgrading 5GHz networks, where spectrum is increasingly scarce. The 60GHz band also provides predictable performance, as it experiences no beam interference. This is an advantage for mission critical environments, such as transmitting data from HD/4K video surveillance cameras and other safe city sensors.

Digi Connect Sensor Expands Sensor-Based Remote Monitoring Capabilities Without Adding Infrastructure
MINNETONKA, Minn., June 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Digi International®, (NASDAQ: DGII, http://www.digi.com), a leading global provider of machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and services, today introduced Digi Connect Sensor, a battery-powered, enterprise-ready, cellular gateway solution for wireless connectivity at locations with either no power or low power. In offering a plug-and-play solution, Connect Sensor allows for remote sensor monitoring to be deployed in environments previously considered too harsh, remote or not economically viable. With versatility and flexibility to accommodate off-the-shelf sensors, such as flow, level, pressure and environmental conditions, the newly announced cellular gateway solution will help make sensor use ubiquitous.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160614/379374
Because it provides remote monitoring without the need for additional infrastructure, power supplies or third-party applications, Digi Connect Sensor is ideal for energy, water, industrial and government installations that need to expand monitoring capabilities due to oversight requirements, or to increase operational efficiencies, as well as implement Industry 4.0 or Smart City initiatives.
Featuring integration with Digi Device Cloud, Connect Sensor allows individual companies, systems integrators and IoT solution providers to easily offer vastly expanded monitoring capabilities and deliver new levels of visibility. With cellular connectivity at each sensor and low cellular data usage rates, Connect Sensor also eliminates the need to configure local wireless networks and makes it cost effective for data backhaul.
Connect Sensor also works with Digi's Connect Wizard, a first-of-its-kind mobile application for this type of battery-powered gateway. The application uses a Bluetooth connection to provide local installers, technicians or drivers with instant feedback on sensor values via Android and iOS smartphones or tablets. This provides local personnel with immediate status on possible actions and replaces the need for outdated LCD displays.
Endress+Hauser, a leading supplier of industrial measurement and automation equipment, recently selected Digi Connect Sensor for its inventory management solutions to offer a complete solution for connectivity of industrial sensors in remote locations. (See "Endress+Hauser Selects Digi International as Cellular Gateway Solution for Field Instrumentation Sensor Products")
Providing an optimal combination of incorporating low-cost sensors capable of multiple uses, data transport via global cellular networks and power available wherever it is needed, Digi Connect Sensor key features include:
-- Flexible power source options: Features a long-lasting, non-rechargeable
battery with two to three-year average life, sleep mode to conserve
power between sensor readings and the option to power from an external
source using the internal battery as backup power. As a result, users
have the flexibility to make the device self-powered, or take advantage
of existing power supplies, including solar.
-- Cellular choice: For global connectivity, Connect Sensor is available in
3G HSPA+ with 2G fallback. North American users can also choose an LTE
CAT 1 version.
-- Supports LTE CAT 1: With support for LTE CAT 1, the band specifically
created for IoT and M2M communications, Connect Sensor devices are
highly efficient, require less power and are optimized for data
transfer.
-- Sensor variety and flexibility: Multiple I/O options and simultaneous
connections offer solution flexibility to address multiple sensor-based
environments. Connect Sensor can work with virtually any 4/20mA, Analog
Out, Digital Out or Pulsed Output sensor, and can power multiple
external sensors, eliminating the need for external supplies or
batteries.
-- Enterprise-grade security: Security may be implemented at the device,
transport and platform level.
-- Appropriate for harsh environments: Features weather-proof NEMA 4
enclosure to protect sensors from the elements, as well as ATEX Group 2
and UL Class 1 Division 2 ratings.
-- Increased awareness and customized reporting: Integration with Digi
Device Cloud provides visibility and centralized management for all
Connect Sensor devices; Device Cloud also serves as the platform for
sensor data collection.
-- Increased levels of customization: Configurable read/report intervals
and customizable alarms provide alerts when sensor value is above or
below threshold levels.
"There's an insatiable appetite for data along with an increased need to extend operational visibility," said Joel Young, chief technology officer, Digi International. "With Connect Sensor we've created a practical, self-powered, remote monitoring solution that takes advantage of existing cellular data transport networks. Enterprises can now place sensors in locations where it simply wasn't previously possible in order to obtain valuable feedback and better manage their operations in remote or harsh environments that lack power."
Digi will be exhibiting at booth #1439 at the Sensors Expo and Conference, taking place June 21 - 23, 2016 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, Calif. During the conference, Digi will be demonstrating the Connect Sensor as well as the Digi Connect Wizard mobile application.
The Digi Connect Sensor has immediate availability. Please visit http://www.digi.com/connectsensor for additional details.

Game-based Arabic Lessons Brought to Syrian Refugees in Jordan by Libraries Without Borders and eduTechnoz

Game-based Arabic Lessons Brought to Syrian Refugees in Jordan by Libraries Without Borders and eduTechnoz
DOHA, Qatar, June 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
The World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), the leading global initiative driving innovation and collaboration in education, has recently facilitated collaboration between Libraries Without Borders and eduTechnoz - two organisations supported by the WISE Accelerator, which is aimed at education start-ups and projects scaling up their services - which resulted in a collaboration that helps Syrian children in Jordan benefit from Arabic lessons.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160617/380724 )
Libraries Without Borders developed the Ideas Box, a portable multi-media toolkit facilitating and strengthening access to non-formal education for vulnerable communities such as refugees. eduTechnoz offers game-based educational online resources for children to learn Arabic. The two organisations joined forces to provide technologically innovative materials for Syrian children in Jordan to learn Arabic and gain literacy skills.
Two Ideas Boxes with eduTechnoz resources have been deployed in Jordan: one in Azraq refugee camp and one in a community center in Hashmi Shimali, Amman. Since the end of March 2016, children aged 6-10 can access eduTechnoz educational content, monitor progress and collect badges through the Ideas Box.
Long-term emergencies, such as the Syrian civil war, put the education of entire generations in danger, diminishing human capital that is crucial to rebuilding a war-torn country. In addition, children who experience violence and uncertainty at a young age must be given the means to obtain a sense of normality and happiness in their lives. For these reasons, innovative, game-based education caters to both the educational and emotional needs of refugee children.
eduTechnoz and Libraries Without Borders decided to work together after their representatives met within the framework of the WISE Accelerator, a program offering opportunities for innovative education projects to scale-up and extend their services and in which both organisations participated.
Giving children, especially those living in refugee camps or war zones, an opportunity to learn Arabic has been a priority for eduTechnoz, but the organisation has faced challenges in providing proper tablets and reliable Internet connection. Partnering with Libraries Without Borders was a unique chance to bring children tangible education opportunities and to better serve disadvantaged and vulnerable children in Jordanian refugee camps and eventually elsewhere in the region. This partnership allowed combining innovative Arab learning pedagogy of eduTechnoz with access to the latest technologies available on the education market provided by Ideas Box.
The WISE Accelerator facilitated this networking opportunity that resulted in a project generating a meaningful impact for the most vulnerable children in need of help in the refugee camps.
"This partnership would not be possible if it was not for the Accelerator program organized by WISE. Thanks to such an opportunity, eduTechnoz and Libraries Without borders found a way to combine their expertise and learn from each other through building a collaboration that will support Syrian refugee children's educational experience," said Ms Diana Al-Dajani, the founder and CEO of eduTechnoz.
"Quality contents are key if the Ideas Box is to reach its goal: improve access to education for vulnerable people. The partnership between Libraries Without Borders and eduTechnoz means more relevance and efficiency in supporting Syrian refugee children," said Mr Jérémy Lachal, Libraries Without Borders general director.

The nontraditional memory module or standard flash product areas represent strategic market segments that can offer a new and solid increased revenue and profitability along with a well positioned customer base with potential tremendous growth. Those are the areas of market opportunities, especially with the embedded platform application solution providers, that will help shield them from the ever growing encroachment of their current customer base by DRAM manufacturers that will without hesitation sell directly to the third party manufacturer's customer."

Those are the areas of market opportunities, especially with the embedded platform application solution providers, that will help shield them from the ever growing encroachment of their current customer base by DRAM manufacturers that will without hesitation sell directly to the third party manufacturer's customer."
About CMTL
CMTL was established in 1996, as a independent third party test lab to ensure memory module compatibility and functionality on computer platforms. To date CMTL has completed over 25,000 Advanced Testing Process memory product functionality and compatibility tests.

CTL® Announces New and Improved Education Chromebook NL61
The latest addition to CTL's NL6 Education Chromebook family packs more power, storage, increased battery life and an enhanced rugged design with a list price of $239
BEAVERTON, Ore., June 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CTL(®) has announced their new CTL Rugged Education Chromebook NL61 today. The NL61 is the latest addition to a line of CTL NL6 Chromebooks that CTL first introduced in 2014. Over the years, CTL has updated the original model to meet the changing demands of the digital classroom. With each update, CTL has been able to add more power, longer battery life and a more rugged design.

The earlier model, the NL6B, includes a 180-degree hinge that enables the Chromebook to lie flat. This design feature will also be included in the NL61 as well as the convenient carry handle and 360-degree rotating camera. However, the NL61 will boast a more powerful processor than its predecessor, allowing it to get a whopping 14 hours of battery life.
"CTL products are evolving to meet the changing technology needs of educators and students. The NL61 still has the features that users loved about the NL6B. But now we've increased the power, extended the battery life and enhanced the rugged design," said CTL President, Erik Stromquist.
CTL NL61 Rugged Convertible Chromebook Features and Benefits
-- 11.6 non-glare panel
-- Intel N3160 Quad Core Processor (Intel Braswell)
-- 4 GB DDR 1600
-- 32GB Storage
-- Intel 3265 AC Wireless (AC 2x2)
-- 2 USB 3.0

Touch Screen Version and X-Panel(TM) Protective Cover Available
Looking ahead, CTL plans to roll out the NL61T, a touch screen version of the NL61, by the end of the year.

Posted on June 17, 2016 at 9:07:02 AM
EC Technology Launches Aluminum High Speed USB 3.0 Multi-In-1 Card Reader
SHENZHEN, China, June 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- EC Technology, a supplier of high quality consumer electronic products, is releasing its high-performance aluminum high-speed USB 3.0 multi-in-1 card reader. The card reader has a USB 3.0 interface with a transmission speed of up to 5Gbps, which halves reading and transmitting time.
While the new card reader may appear the same, EC Technology's designers have made a number of upgrades to improve their original best-selling design, including:
-- 3-category card slots: Designed with three card slots, this memory card
reader can read and transfer data for three types of card, Micro SD, SD
and CF, simultaneously, removing the need to repeatedly plug in and
unplug cards.
-- Solid aluminum body with rounded corners complements desktop or laptop
computers. Ultra-miniature (3.3 x 1.8 x 1.1in) and lightweight (3.9oz),
free yourself from cable-chaos and put your workspace back in order -
all without taking up too much space.
-- 20cm built-in cable realizes anti-jamming capability and ensures more
stable transfer. Can be conveniently placed at the PC host, or on a desk
beside a laptop or tablet.
-- Stylish design: a 20cm USB data cable, easy for both laptop and PC
users. Aluminum alloy cover makes it durable and wear-resistant.
-- Supports three main category cards and more than 25 popular memory card
formats.
Esther Ng, CEO of EC Technology remarked upon the release, "We are delighted that this card reader is a best seller. The engineers and staff at EC Technology have taken one step further to make the product more user-friendly. We considered all ideas from our customers to improve the original design.

NComputing Announces MX100 3 User Thin Client Kit for Less Than 1/3 the Cost of a PC-based Solution

NComputing Announces MX100 3 User Thin Client Kit for Less Than 1/3 the Cost of a PC-based Solution
CHENNAI, June 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
NComputing, the leader in desktop virtualization for education and small to medium
size enterprises (SME) in Asia, today announced the launch of MX100, its new hybrid 3-user
thin client kit delivering a rich user experience at an affordable price. MX100 combines
the best features of the company's widely popular M-series and X-series which have over
2.5 million seats installation in Asia alone. MX100 rewrites new affordability standards
in shared computing by slashing as much as 65% in acquisition cost, 80% in maintenance
cost and 90% in energy cost when compared to an all PC-based solution.
Designed based on input from existing customers, MX100 is available in two models -
MX100 Direct (MX100D) and MX100 Standard (MX100S). A single MX100 kit includes 3 access
devices and multiple kits can be connected to a host computer. Available immediately
worldwide from NComputing's authorized distributors, MX100will be sold in India through
company's National Distributor, Redington India and their 800+ channel partners across the
country. Each access device of MX100 is competitively priced in India.
While their underlying architecture is identical, the MX100D and MX100S differ in the
way they connect to the host computer. The MX100D (Direct model) connects through a PCI
express card which is bundled with the kit. The power of the host computer is shared with
multiple users without the need of a switch or any 3rd party hardware or software. "It is
an enhanced version of NComputing's popular X-series. The MX100D is designed based on
input collected from thousands of customers over the last two years and provides a great
out-of-the-box experience. There are significant enhancements to the number of supported
users on a single host, and greater distance connectivity providing expanded deployment
options," according to Manjunath Revanasiddappa, Product Manager of MX-series at
NComputing.
The MX100S (standard model) is an improved version of NComputing's M-series which has
a strong installed base of over 350,000 in Asia. The MX100S has numerous enhancements over
the M-series such as enhanced multimedia performance, superior graphics and support for
gigabit networks, while keeping the purchase price low. According to Manish Sharma, Vice
President of NComputing for Asia-Pacific, "The response of our customers on performance of
MX100 has been very positive. As 45 access devices of MX100S model can be served by one
central host computer using NComputing vSpace desktop virtualization software, customers
achieve a high utilization. Up to 70% saving in total cost of ownership can be achieved
compared to an all PC-based setup."
The announcement has delighted NComputing's distributors across Asia: From Ingram
Micro in Singapore and Synnex in Thailand to Redington in India. Mr Anand Chakravarthy,
President, Redington (India) Ltd shared, "We have been very impressed with the pilot
projects of MX100. NComputing has certainly reached a new height in delivering quality
performance at affordable price. We plan to position MX100D in education and Tier 2 and 3
cities while MX100S would be ideal for government tenders, SME and enterprises."
With over 2.5 million units deployed across Asia which includes 1.5 million in India,
NComputing has been widely successful in both channel sales and government-led education
tenders. In Asia, NComputing is being used in government schools of Philippines, Cambodia,
Nepal and Japan. In India, the company has been endorsed by several state governments to
provide affordable computing to millions of students, especially in the rural and remote
areas. It is estimated that computer labs of over 60,000 government schools in India use
NComputing's technology. Among other customers are recognized universities and large
organizations like Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) which use over 31,000
devices across the nation.
About NComputing Â
NComputing is a leader in client virtualization solutions with over 5 million
installed base world-wide. Removing the barriers through a unique formula of simplicity,
performance and value, NComputing's integrated solutions serve global enterprise and
mid-market companies in key verticals such as education, manufacturing and government. To

About vSpace Â
vSpace is a fully integrated end-to-end desktop and application virtualization
platform that works with NComputing technology. It delivers the features and performance
equal to, or better than a dedicated PC user endpoint device. vSpace is the ideal choice
for organizations looking to take full advantage of the benefits of Desktop Virtualization,
but do not have large budgets or IT staff to deal with the typically high cost and
complexity associated with acquiring, deploying and maintaining a desktop virtualization
solution, making it a perfect fit for the SME and education.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- D-Link today announced the addition of a new HD 180-Degree Wi-Fi Camera (DCS-8200LH), the latest in the mydlink Connected Home Series. The HD 180-Degree Wi-Fi Camera offers a plethora of advanced features like the 180-degree ultra-wide angle lens, 720p HD video quality and a microSD card slot for local recording, making it a perfect solution for home security.

Apsalar Launches Uninstall Attribution for iOS
First iOS uninstall measurement solution from a mobile attribution provider gives advertisers critical insights on user quality and longevity
SAN FRANCISCO, June 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Apsalar, the app ROI platform that helps mobile-first marketers drive extraordinary growth, today announced that it has added iOS Uninstall Attribution to its industry-leading mobile app attribution and data management platform. The new capability, available at no additional cost to customers, reveals the uninstall rate for app downloads driven by different channels, vendors, campaigns, creative executions, geographies and user cohorts during any time period the marketer chooses.
Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20151116/287839LOGO
Apsalar is the first mobile attribution solution to offer uninstall measurement for iOS. Earlier this year, Apsalar was the first mobile attribution provider to launch Android Uninstall Measurement.
Uninstall attribution is of tremendous value to marketers as they explore ways to plan and optimize marketing programs for stronger ROI. Specifically:
1. Vendor Allocations: Clients can leverage uninstall rate comparisons by
media provider to collaborate with these partners to improve the quality
of users attracted by campaigns.
2. Campaign Testing and Decisions: By measuring the uninstall rates driven
by different campaigns, they can determine the best advertising
approaches for driving long-term users.
3. Regional Allocations: Brands can use variances in uninstall rates by
region to make wiser decisions on where to spend expansion dollars.
4. Cohort Comparisons: By comparing the relative uninstall rates of
different user segments, they can make smarter decisions about future
acquisition and remarketing campaigns.
Said Michael Oiknine, Apsalar Cofounder and CEO, "Apsalar has led in uninstall measurement, first with Android and now with iOS, because marketers need unbiased insights on whether they are attracting enough of the right users and traffic to their iPad and iPhone apps. This launch is a win-win for customers and media partners because iOS Uninstall Attribution can be leveraged to help improve marketing program ROI."

NComputing Sets New Benchmark for Affordable Computing With the Launch of MX100 Series

NComputing Sets New Benchmark for Affordable Computing With the Launch of MX100 Series
SAN MATEO, California, June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
The Hybrid 3-user Thin Client kit Delivers Rich User Experience for Less Than 1/3 Cost
of PC Based SolutionÂ
Today NComputing, the fastest growing client virtualization company in the world,
announces the launch of MX100 series, a new hybrid 3-user thin client kit delivering a
rich user experience at an affordable price. MX100 combines the best features of
NComputing's widely popular M-series and X-series and is specifically designed for the
Education and SMB workgroup computing environment. MX100 sets a new precedent in
affordability standards within the shared computing market, providing customers with
savings as much as 65% in purchase cost, 80% in maintenance cost and 90% in energy
consumption when compared to an all PC-based solution.
The MX100 kit is designed based on feedback from existing customers, and is available
in two models - MX100 Direct Connect Edition (MX100D) and MX100 Standard Edition (MX100S).
Both kits include 3 access devices. Multiple kits can be connected to a single host
computer. While the underlying architecture is identical, the MX100D and MX100S kits
differ in how they connect to the host computer.
The MX100D uses PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) technology through the connected PCI Express
card included in the kit. This allows support of up to 9 users for a single room
deployment scenario, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter, network switch or
3rd party hardware or software.
The MX100S supports up to 45 users connected through a standard Local Area Network,
enabling the access devices to be located anywhere on the LAN.
"NComputing continues to stay committed in providing the most affordable, powerful and
easy-to-use thin client solution. The MX100 series offers customers the choice of
deploying either in Direct Connect Mode or Standard Network Mode, providing a flexible
desktop virtualization solution. With enhanced multimedia performance, superior graphics,
support for gigabit networks, and support for the latest Windows and vSpace platforms,
MX100 provides great performance capability while delivering the lowest total cost per
seat in our lineup, with a 70 percent saving in total cost of ownership compared to an all
PC-based setup", says Young Song, CEO of NComputing.
Key Features of the NComputing MX-series, two kit configurations include:Â
- MX100D (Direct Connect Edition) kit - MX100 devices directly connect to a host

SAN MATEO, California, June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
The Hybrid 3-user Thin Client kit Delivers Rich User Experience for Less Than 1/3 Cost
of PC Based SolutionÂ
Today NComputing, the fastest growing client virtualization company in the world,
announces the launch of MX100 series, a new hybrid 3-user thin client kit delivering a
rich user experience at an affordable price. MX100 combines the best features of
NComputing's widely popular M-series and X-series and is specifically designed for the
Education and SMB workgroup computing environment. MX100 sets a new precedent in

differ in how they connect to the host computer.
The MX100D uses PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) technology through the connected PCI Express
card included in the kit. This allows support of up to 9 users for a single room
deployment scenario, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter, network switch or
3rd party hardware or software.
The MX100S supports up to 45 users connected through a standard Local Area Network,
enabling the access devices to be located anywhere on the LAN.
"NComputing continues to stay committed in providing the most affordable, powerful and
easy-to-use thin client solution. The MX100 series offers customers the choice of
deploying either in Direct Connect Mode or Standard Network Mode, providing a flexible
desktop virtualization solution. With enhanced multimedia performance, superior graphics,
support for gigabit networks, and support for the latest Windows and vSpace platforms,
MX100 provides great performance capability while delivering the lowest total cost per
seat in our lineup, with a 70 percent saving in total cost of ownership compared to an all
PC-based setup", says Young Song, CEO of NComputing.
Key Features of the NComputing MX-series, two kit configurations include:Â
- MX100D (Direct Connect Edition) kit - MX100 devices directly connect to a host
computer running vSpace Server via the provided PCI Express card for connectivity and
power
- Can be used where there is limited or no Local Area Network
- 3-9 users can share a single host computer
- vSpace Server software delivers full screen Windows desktops to each user
- MX100S (Standard Edition) kit - MX100 devices connect to a host computer running
vSpace Server over a Local Area Network (LAN)
- Interfaces to the host computer running vSpace Server through a standard Local
Area Network
- Scales to support up to 45 users from a single, suitably configured host computer
running vSpace Server software

Local Motors Debuts "Olli," the First Self-driving Vehicle to Tap the Power of IBM Watson
Local Motors transforms the passenger experience with IBM Watson Internet of Things technology; On roads now in Washington, DC and soon in Miami-Dade County and Las Vegas
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Local Motors, the leading vehicle technology integrator and creator of the world's first 3D-printed cars, today introduced the first self-driving vehicle to integrate the advanced cognitive computing capabilities of IBM (NYSE: IBM) Watson.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160615/379891
The vehicle, dubbed 'Olli,' was unveiled during the Grand Opening of a new Local Motors facility in National Harbor, MD this morning, and transported Local Motors CEO and co-founder John B. Rogers, Jr. along with vehicle designer Edgar Sarmiento from the Local Motors co-creation community into the new facility. The electric vehicle, which can carry up to 12 people, is equipped with some of the world's most advanced vehicle technology, including IBM Watson Internet of Things (IoT) for Automotive, to improve the passenger experience and allow natural interaction with the vehicle.
Starting today, Olli will be used on public roads locally in DC, and late in 2016 in Miami-Dade County and Las Vegas.
"Olli offers a smart, safe and sustainable transportation solution that is long overdue," Rogers said. "Olli with Watson acts as our entry into the world of self-driving vehicles, something we've been quietly working on with our co-creative community for the past year. We are now ready to accelerate the adoption of this technology and apply it to nearly every vehicle in our current portfolio and those in the very near future. I'm thrilled to see what our open community will do with the latest in advanced vehicle technology."
Olli is the first vehicle to utilize the cloud-based cognitive computing capability of IBM Watson IoT to analyze and learn from high volumes of transportation data, produced by more than 30 sensors embedded throughout the vehicle. Using the Local Motors open vehicle development process, sensors will be added and adjusted continuously as passenger needs and local preferences are identified. Furthermore, the platform leverages four Watson developer APIs -- Speech to Text, Natural Language Classifier, Entity Extraction and Text to Speech -- to enable seamless interactions between the vehicle and passengers.
Passengers will be able to interact conversationally with Olli while traveling from point A to point B, discussing topics about how the vehicle works, where they are going, and why Olli is making specific driving decisions. Watson empowers Olli to understand and respond to passengers' questions as they enter the vehicle, including about destinations ("Olli, can you take me downtown?") or specific vehicle functions ("how does this feature work?" or even "are we there yet?"). Passengers can also ask for recommendations on local destinations such as popular restaurants or historical sites based on analysis of personal preferences. These interactions with Olli are designed to create more pleasant, comfortable, intuitive and interactive experiences for riders as they journey in autonomous vehicles.
"Cognitive computing provides incredible opportunities to create unparalleled, customized experiences for customers, taking advantage of the massive amounts of streaming data from all devices connected to the Internet of Things, including an automobile's myriad sensors and systems," said Harriet Green, General Manager, IBM Watson Internet of Things, Commerce & Education. "IBM is excited to work with Local Motors to infuse IBM Watson IoT cognitive computing capabilities into Olli, exploring the art of what's possible in a world of self-driving vehicles and providing a unique, personalized experience for every passenger while helping to revolutionize the future of transportation for years to come."
Though officially introduced today, there is already immediate interest in putting Olli to use on public roads. Miami-Dade County is exploring a pilot program in which several autonomous vehicles would be used to transport people around Miami.
"Improving the sustainability of local transportation networks as part of a wider goal to create more vibrant, livable, sustainable cities within Miami-Dade County, and improve the quality of life for residents is our top priority," said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez. "We must do more to improve transit and mobility in our community and the deployment of autonomous vehicles is a big step in the right direction."
As part of Olli's debut, Local Motors officially opened its new National Harbor facility in Maryland today to serve as a public place where co-creation can flourish and vehicle technologies can rapidly advance. The company's 3D-printed cars are on display, along with a large-scale 3D printer and an interactive co-creative experience that showcases what the future of the nation's capital might look like. STEM-centered programming is also being developed for the facility so that the public can learn more about 3D printing, sustainability, autonomous technology and get involved with Local Motors engineers and the company's co-creation community.
"National Harbor has a history of attracting unique and experiential shopping, dining and entertainment destinations, so we are an ideal launch pad for Local Motors," said Jon Peterson, Principal of Peterson Companies, the developer of National Harbor. "We are excited to welcome Local Motors and play a part in the revolution of the transportation industry."
The very first Olli will remain in National Harbor this summer, and the public will be able to interact with it during select times over the next several months. The development of the cognitive rider experience in Olli is a collaboration between Local Motors and IBM Watson IoT's AutoLAB, an industry-specific incubation engine for co-creation of cognitive mobility applications. Production of additional Ollies is taking place at Local Motors headquarters near Phoenix.

Cloud Storage Capability Now Available For Samsung SmartCam Portfolio
New SmartCloud Offering Includes Expanded Storage, Motion Detection Capabilities for Samsung SmartCam HD Plus
NEW YORK, June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- To expand video management for the Samsung SmartCam HD Plus and deliver unmatched security to customers, Hanwha Techwin America (formerly Samsung Techwin America) today launched the SmartCloud, a cloud storage service powered by video analytics. The service provides a viable alternative to the 128 GB of local video storage that the SmartCam HD Plus currently offers.
"In studying customer feedback to improve our offerings, we found an overwhelmingly high demand for cloud services," said Richard Simone, Hanwha Techwin America VP of Sales and Marketing. "By releasing the SmartCloud, we're introducing an unparalleled level of cloud capabilities that meets consumers' expectations and provides the optimal home monitoring experience."
With the SmartCloud, video footage is securely and privately stored in the cloud, offering users the strongest level of protection against any home invasion. Whether a camera is stolen or damaged, the video will be preserved and users will be equipped to review the footage history from any unforeseen events.
The SmartCloud also delivers improved motion detection accuracy in any setting, leveraging enhanced algorithms to better analyze lights and shadows to filter out irrelevant activity from footage that could trigger false alarms. It can disregard rain, snow and shadows seen through a window, resulting in improved video accuracy for challenging outdoor environments compared to the SmartCam HD Plus' standard features.
This offering also represents the latest progression in activity recognition. While most home video monitoring services overwhelm users with alerts regarding slight changes in the vicinity, the SmartCloud's Zone feature can accurately distinguish between motion that is of interest to consumers and meaningless noise. With this tool, there are also no limits to the number of zones, within a camera's field of view, that a user can individually monitor.
"In the home surveillance marketplace, we know customizability and affordability is critical to customer satisfaction," said Simone. "With the SmartCloud Zone feature and storage options, we're equipping users with the tools to accurately monitor activity around their properties and peacefully safeguard that footage in the cloud."
Users will also have the option to continuously record video 24/7 for extra safety, depending on the SmartCloud service plan they select:
-- Starter Â- For $4.99 a month or $49.99 per year, users can access up to
five days of event recording.
-- Essential - For $7.99 a month or $79.99 per year, users can continuously
record and store up to seven days of video.
-- Elite - For $19.99 a month or $199.99 per year, users can continuously
record and store up to 21 days of video.
The SmartCloud also leverages bank-level security to ensure that users can safely view and manage their videos, even on open wireless networks. With the enhanced restrictions, footage will be encrypted while in transmission to the cloud and streamed securely on computers, iOS and Android devices via SSL encryption.
Customers can subscribe to the SmartCloud at http://www.mysmartcamcloud.com to gain access to these latest capabilities and start a free 15-day, risk-free trial.

It can disregard rain, snow and shadows seen through a window, resulting in improved video accuracy for challenging outdoor environments compared to the SmartCam HD Plus' standard features.
This offering also represents the latest progression in activity recognition. While most home video monitoring services overwhelm users with alerts regarding slight changes in the vicinity, the SmartCloud's Zone feature can accurately distinguish between motion that is of interest to consumers and meaningless noise. With this tool, there are also no limits to the number of zones, within a camera's field of view, that a user can individually monitor.
"In the home surveillance marketplace, we know customizability and affordability is critical to customer satisfaction," said Simone. "With the SmartCloud Zone feature and storage options, we're equipping users with the tools to accurately monitor activity around their properties and peacefully safeguard that footage in the cloud."
Users will also have the option to continuously record video 24/7 for extra safety, depending on the SmartCloud service plan they select:
-- Starter Â- For $4.99 a month or $49.99 per year, users can access up to
five days of event recording.
-- Essential - For $7.99 a month or $79.99 per year, users can continuously
record and store up to seven days of video.
-- Elite - For $19.99 a month or $199.99 per year, users can continuously
record and store up to 21 days of video.
The SmartCloud also leverages bank-level security to ensure that users can safely view and manage their videos, even on open wireless networks. With the enhanced restrictions, footage will be encrypted while in transmission to the cloud and streamed securely on computers, iOS and Android devices via SSL encryption.
Customers can subscribe to the SmartCloud at http://www.mysmartcamcloud.com to gain access to these latest capabilities and start a free 15-day, risk-free trial.

Curious Provisions Announces Release of 2016 Summer Line
Premium Materials, High Quality Audio Components Raise the Bar in Portable HiFi
SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Curious Provisions, the Santa Monica-based portable vintage suitcase-boombox company, today announced the company's 2016 Summer Line. Curious Provisions' flagship products, known as Thumpers, are handcrafted at the firm's workshop using vintage suitcases and state-of-the-art audio components. "Our newest line has been a long time in the making, but it's been worth it to make sure everything comes out perfectly," said Russell Fry, CEO and Owner. "We're pushing the limits of what's possible in portable audio. They're louder, even higher-fidelity, and look as incredible as ever."
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160615/379999
Three months in the making, the 2016 Summer Line of Thumpers includes portable vintage suitcase-boomboxes in three sizes: 14 Mighty, 2 Maestro, and 19 Virtuoso Thumpers in a variety of colors and styles. Every unit features 12 hours of playback as well as auxiliary connections and Bluetooth(TM) wireless connectivity. "We wanted to push the limits of what a Thumper could look and sound like," Fry continued. "You can literally start a party with just one of these babies, and to top it off, they look like they're from some alternate timeline that never happened--think 'steampunk meets trap music.' We've been using premium materials to take things to the next level, including rare authentic snakeskin and alligator cases, speakers with custom trim, acoustically painted to match."
Fine-tuned to exacting specifications, and meticulously pieced together one-at-a-time, Curious Provisions Thumpers have to be heard (and seen) in person to be believed. "That's one of the biggest uphill battles we have as a company," said Fry. "Our Thumpers sound so incredible even at full volume, but that high fidelity and loudness simply doesn't come through online. Everything clicks when someone sees and hears one in person. One listen, one glimpse - you're a believer."
The limited edition "King" Performance Thumper speaks volumes about their passion for quality and innovation. Featuring two amplifiers and an audio mixer, King allows a band to simply set up anywhere, plug in, and perform in no time flat. "Nothing turns heads like a Thumper," Fry added. "We feel that musicians can leverage their sound and performance by utilizing a Thumper to up the 'wow' factor."
The company has already had a string of successes in getting its products into the hands of such media fixtures as Shaquille O'Neal and Bruno Mars among others.

Bantasy Changes the Game in Daily Fantasy Sports with Free, Legal Betting
MIAMI, June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Bantasy, Inc today is pleased to announce the release of Bantasy 1.0.7 for iOS and Android, a free and entertaining Daily Fantasy Sports Game unlike any other. Players can never lose a dime because Bantasy is not gambling. While FanDuel, DraftKings and other ventures are struggling to obey the law, and putting their users at risk, Bantasy stays above it all. You don't use real money. Enjoy the thrill of daily competition with quick results, while playing like a high roller!

At Bantasy, we believe there's a direct correlation between creativity and passion. If you create a contest, it's a part of you, and you'll do everything you can to win it. But creativity is a fickle mistress, so you can always choose from other contests and still beat the pants off of those guys. Of course, all contests are free to create or enter. The more daily contests you enter, the higher your chances of winning are. Download the free app on the Apple App Store or Google Play and start playing immediately, without having to transfer any funds.
What's better than 50 grand? Getting to spend it all at once! It's a level playing field until you select the line-up for your dream team, and $50,000 is your spending cap to fill all the position slots. This is the kick-off to your strategy, and you'll choose from among your favorite players. Complete this step, and you're ready to enter your first contest. Be sure to make any last minute changes to your player roster before the game begins.
So you like things your way, do you? Well, so do we! In every daily contest created by your peers, there's plenty of action and excitement, but creating your own contest adds a new dimension of thrill, and you can share it with your friends. Even take turns with your friends creating your own contests, and compare weekly winnings among yourselves.
Free to Sign Up? Free to Play? What's the Catch? Short answer: There is no catch. Long answer: If you believe that time is money, we're certainly not charging you for it. In fact, time is what we're saving you with our easy-to-navigate platform, real-time coverage, quick results turnaround, and device accessibility options. All you need to play Bantasy are good skills, a good strategy and an appetite for fun and competition. Sign up is free, and you win Bantasy Chips, not real money.

Say Goodbye To Monthly Rental Fees - Consumers Can Now Own Their Own Linksys Cable Modem
Linksys Announces Three New DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modems
PLAYA VISTA, Calif., June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Linksys®, a leader in networking solutions for the home and business today announced three new cable modems - two available today and another coming later this summer. Shipping today - these two new high speed cable modems, the CM3008 8X4 and the CM3024 24X8 are DOCSIS 3.0 certified, include Intel Puma chipsets and are compatible with major cable service providers including Charter®, Comcast Xfinity(TM), Cox® and Time Warner Cable®. The CM30016 is a 16X4 DOCSIS 3.0 certified cable modem and will be available later this summer. The CM3008 is ideal for subscribers that purchase cable broadband plans up to 100 Mbps, the CM3016 is for subscriptions up to 250Mpbs and the CM3024 is for subscriptions over 250Mbps.

"Consumers can save up to $120 a year if they purchase their own cable modem instead of paying monthly rental fees," said Brian Nickell, cable modem product manager at Linksys. "With rental fees being on average $10 a month, consumers can have our CM3008 paid off in as little as six months and have the latest high performance modem that matches the broadband plan they have subscribed to."
According to an IDC InfoBrief, sponsored by Linksys, titled Revisiting the Cable Modem, Where the Internet meets the Home, IDC surveyed more than one thousand U.S. participants with an active cable modem subscription to understand the behaviors of cable modem and gateway use in the home. The research project found that the majority of people want more ways to save money on their cable bill:
-- Two-thirds of people who got their cable modem from the cable company
are paying monthly rental fees of about $10 per month. Only one in five
purchased their cable modem from a retailer, and three-quarters of them
did it to avoid the monthly fee.
There is still a lot of confusion when it comes to modems. Cable broadband service providers are rolling out more premium cable services, and requirements for the hardware and these new services are critical for providing customers the internet speeds they are paying for. Consumers are not sure what to purchase or if what they have matches the services they are paying for, thus providing slower speeds and frustrating experiences.
-- Nearly half of cable broadband subscribers don't know the speed of their
broadband subscription service.
Cable Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer internet packages by speeds. Users can purchase speeds ranging from 25 Mbps all the way up to 1 Gbps. Each of these services requires different modems to support the speed consumers are subscribing to. The chart below provides an overview of Modems and their features that support an internet service package by speed. If users don't know which service package they have, they can check out their internet service bill or call their service provider.

Now Available from RS Components, Compact Dual- and Quad-Channel Hi-Speed USB Interface Chips from FTDI
New USB interface ICs provide engineers with greater I/O options and address issue of limited board space
HONG KONG, June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE:ECM), the global distributor for engineers, today announced availability of a duo of compact dual- and quad-channel hi-speed USB interface ICs with accompanying hardware from FTDI Chip. These devices are new versions of FTDI's well-known FT2232H and FT4232H ICs, which are designed to provide engineers with a large range of I/O options and tackle common problems caused by limited board space.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20150818/8521505364LOGO
The devices provide a high-quality solution for many applications including upgrading peripheral legacy systems to integrate USB or modernising equipment in the field. They are also ideally suited for use in USB instrumentation, smart card readers, industrial control systems, barcode readers, USB flash-drive readers and writers, and interfaces for portable electronics goods such as MP3 players and digital cameras.
The devices are configurable hi-speed USB 2.0 ICs that support 480Mbit/s operation and now come in 56-pin VQFN packages that complement the 64-pin LQFP package format. This makes them easier to place and route on circuit boards, in addition to saving board real estate in designs with significant space constraints. The devices are also available in mini modules (FT2232H-56Q and FT4232H-56Q), which are small dual-inline PCBs with integrated micro-USB connectors to provide easy interfacing with external infrastructure.
The FT2232H and FT4232H are designed to be as flexible as possible: incorporating two and four UARTs, respectively, both channels on the FT2232H and two of the four on the FT4232H can be configured independently via a wide variety of industry-standard serial interfaces. The use of a multi-protocol synchronous serial engine (MPSSE) allows emulation of JTAG, SPI, I2C, bit-bang and other synchronous serial modes.
The highly integrated FT2232H/FT4232H range offers a wide range of features including a 1.8V LDO voltage regulator and an integrated POR and clock multiplier PLL that operates over the 12 to 480MHz frequency range. The baud rate generator also provides data transfer at both standard and non-standard speeds. Meeting the needs of a wider selection of design implementations, the operating temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius also provides the necessary ruggedness for industrial deployment.
As the chips integrate the USB protocol, they do not require production of USB specific firmware, resulting in reduced development time. The devices are supported by a wide selection of USB drivers designed for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.
The FT2232H and FT4232H USB 2.0 interface ICs from FDTI Chip are available to order now from RS components across EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.

SYDNEY, June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE:ECM), the global distributor for engineers, today announced availability of a duo of compact dual- and quad-channel hi-speed USB interface ICs with accompanying hardware from FTDI Chip. These devices are new versions of FTDI's well-known FT2232H and FT4232H ICs, which are designed to provide engineers with a large range of I/O options and tackle common problems caused by limited board space.

The devices provide a high-quality solution for many applications including upgrading peripheral legacy systems to integrate USB or modernising equipment in the field. They are also ideally suited for use in USB instrumentation, smart card readers, industrial control systems, barcode readers, USB flash-drive readers and writers, and interfaces for portable electronics goods such as MP3 players and digital cameras.
The devices are configurable hi-speed USB 2.0 ICs that support 480Mbit/s operation and now come in 56-pin VQFN packages that complement the 64-pin LQFP package format. This makes them easier to place and route on circuit boards, in addition to saving board real estate in designs with significant space constraints. The devices are also available in mini modules (FT2232H-56Q and FT4232H-56Q), which are small dual-inline PCBs with integrated micro-USB connectors to provide easy interfacing with external infrastructure.
The FT2232H and FT4232H are designed to be as flexible as possible: incorporating two and four UARTs, respectively, both channels on the FT2232H and two of the four on the FT4232H can be configured independently via a wide variety of industry-standard serial interfaces. The use of a multi-protocol synchronous serial engine (MPSSE) allows emulation of JTAG, SPI, I2C, bit-bang and other synchronous serial modes.
The highly integrated FT2232H/FT4232H range offers a wide range of features including a 1.8V LDO voltage regulator and an integrated POR and clock multiplier PLL that operates over the 12 to 480MHz frequency range. The baud rate generator also provides data transfer at both standard and non-standard speeds. Meeting the needs of a wider selection of design implementations, the operating temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius also provides the necessary ruggedness for industrial deployment.
As the chips integrate the USB protocol, they do not require production of USB specific firmware, resulting in reduced development time. The devices are supported by a wide selection of USB drivers designed for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.
The FT2232H and FT4232H USB 2.0 interface ICs from FDTI Chip are available to order now from RS components across EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.
