    The Huawei P9 is the first smartphone from Huawei in collaboration with global iconic
camera brand Leica AG. Setting a new benchmark in smartphone camera technology, the dual
lens camera captures more light and better clarity, resulting in brilliant colour and
striking black and white images in true Leica style.

    The Huawei P9 fuses cool, sleek design and precise detail with state-of-the art
technology to change the way we see the world. It continues Huawei's legacy of premium
mobile devices that have set the industry standard for elegance and performance.

appear in a new TV commercial shot in Shanghai and New Zealand by famed director Baillie
Walsh from the RSA, which will air in the UK later this month. Where both stars are
normally the subjects of the camera's gaze, here we see them putting the Huawei P9's
amazing camera technology to the test to capture, share and compete for the best shot.

photography, and we see it as the next step in a visual revolution, which we are sure our

capture and enjoy photography, we are excited to work with a like-minded partner, such as
Huawei, equally committed to a cultural, visual future. Huawei's passion for pushing the
boundaries of innovation, matched with our proven expertise in camera and lens engineering,
has made for a beautiful collaboration in the creation of the P9."

    Henry Cavill comments: "I have a genuine passion for technology, so I'm excited by the
opportunities created by the P9 dual lens. I'm impressed by the partnership of Huawei and
Leica in their engineering of a true high performance smartphone camera. They've done this
and managed to package it into a fantastic device as well."

    Scarlett Johansson comments: "The art of photography really resonates with me. It was
exciting to see Huawei is partnering with world's iconic camera brand Leica to create the
amazing device.  I was delighted to work with Huawei on this project, as I love the way it
invites us to feed our curiosity and share new perspectives."

support the launch of Huawei P9 including Mary McCartney; National Geographic photographer,
David Guttenfelder; Reuben Krabbe, from extreme sports community, Banff; Zhu Yinghao,

Huawei P9 Goes On Sale in UK

LONDON, May 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

         Available to purchase from EE, O2, Three, Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse  

    Today, Huawei Consumer Business Group announces that the Huawei P9, co-engineered with
Leica Camera, is now on sale across all major UK channels, available to purchase from EE,
O2, Three, Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse, setting a new standard in smartphone
photography.  

(Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160506/364549LOGO )

    The Huawei P9 is the first smartphone co-engineered with the iconic global brand,
Leica Camera AG. The P9's dual-lens camera takes smartphone photography to the next level,
allowing people to capture both vivid colours and striking black and white images.

    Reinventing smartphone photography 

    Key to the P9's superlative imaging capabilities is a dual lens camera design, which
has been subject to the industry's most stringent quality screening requirements. The RGB
camera on the P9 specialises in capturing colour, while the monochrome camera is
outstanding at acquiring picture detail.

    The two rear cameras of the P9 work in tandem to enable users to create images of
superior detail, depth and colour. The P9 truly excels in low-light conditions, as the
dual-camera design guarantees that more light and detail can be captured.  

    Each picture taken by the P9 carries the unique emotional resonance and timelessness
that are the hallmarks of Leica, as users may choose between three film modes: Standard,
Vivid Colours and Smooth Colours, depending on their personal preferences. With meticulous
calibration of the P9's camera parameters, each film mode faithfully renders the authentic
colour and style of Leica. By selecting the monochrome mode, P9 users can shoot with their
devices as a true monochrome camera to capture powerful and evocative black and white
images of superior quality.

    Deploying Huawei's Hybrid Focus technology, the P9 captures images with superior speed,
accuracy and stability. The P9 supports camera focusing based on three methodologies -
laser, depth calculation and contrast - and automatically selects the one that yields the
best result in any given environment.  

    The wide-aperture photography feature on the P9 allows users to experiment with
innovative visual effects to create unique images and content. The P9 makes it easy to
adjust the camera aperture to create bokeh and other depth-of-field effects, while keeping
the main object in sharp focus.

    James Jie, Managing Director of UK&I, Huawei Consumer Business Group, comments: "This
is the first Huawei device to be ranged across all of the major UK sales channels and we
look forward to seeing great take up from consumers. With the P9, in collaboration with
Leica, we are looking to firmly establish the Huawei brand within the high-end, premium
sector in the UK. We have challenged the norm with this device, reinventing smartphone
photography, and we see it as the next step in a visual revolution, which we are sure our
customers will value."

    Oliver Kaltner, CEO, Leica Camera AG, commented: "Leica and Huawei share an
uncompromising commitment to imaging excellence, and our partnership will put outstanding
photography into the hands of more consumers around the world. We are deepening our
collaboration to give users a more optimal smartphone photography experience."

    Premium build and design 

    The P9 is a masterpiece of state-of the-art industrial design, with the same
minimalist design DNA as earlier products in Huawei's acclaimed premium flagship P-series.
Each P9 device is a perfect construct of superior-grade 2.5D glass and an aerospace-class
aluminium, with diamond-cut edges rounded out by carefully balanced curvatures.

    The P9 sets new industry standards in industrial design, with the use of techniques
including brushed hairlines and metal polishing at micron-level precision to create a
translucent metal surface.

    Power and performance 

    The P9 is equipped with the power, connectivity and speed that today's high-end
smartphone user expects from Huawei. With a 5.2-inch 1080p display, the P9 is powered by
the new Kirin 955 2.5GHz 64-bit ARM-based processor for leading-class mobile performance.
The 3,000mAh high-density battery offers P9 users outstanding mobility and battery life.

    The P9 also protects users' privacy with Huawei's world-leading biometric fingerprint
recognition technology. The enhanced fingerprint sensor allows users to personalise and
safeguard their devices by significantly lowering the possibility of fraudulent or
accidental device access, while also ensuring users can quickly and securely access their
smartphone.

Global Debut Release of Idealens II All-in-one VR Headset

SEATTLE, May 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- At 19:00, May 5, 2016, the VR industry witnessed the official unveiling of its newest major product, the Idealens II in Seattle.

Along with the product release, Idealens made public the multiple key technologies employed by the device, and gained wide acclaim from the VR professionals who attended the event.

The World's First All-in-one VR Headset with a Rear Battery Pack

The hardware components of the Idealens II, such as the modules for computing, display, tracking, and battery are all integrated into a compact body, so that the headset operates completely independently, without the need to connect to any kind of console or wires, thus eliminating the rigid limitations on the places for use by PC grade VR devices. But, the experience offered by the VR headset is comparable to that of the PC grade devices.

However, the advantage of portability of all-in-one headsets proposes rigorous requirements for wearing. Unlike other VR products, while bearing all hardware, all-in-one headsets need to meet the complex demands of mobility from the users, therefore there are greater requirements for wearable optimization, which is a very important technical issue. Idealens has presented an innovative solution in the II headset.

The all-in-one wearable solution of Idealens II has employed a rear battery pack for weight balance, the first of its category globally, allowing the weight of the helmet's main body to be reduced to 320g for more balanced distribution of weight, therefore greatly reducing the burden on the neck.

With a mounting way featuring a steel structure with a spring mechanism, the wearing system of Idealens II fits comfortably on the head without the need of adjustment. Even when the user performs sudden physical movements, the device will not become loose.

Idealens II also provides some thoughtful features to the users, such as the multiple wearing modes, including game mode and cinema mode, allowing users to freely experience various application scenarios. Glasses wearers do not need to remove their glasses, or they may adjust the pupil distance to use the device directly, offering the most convenient wearable solution for the users in practical application situations.

Cutting-edge Updates of Optical Technologies for the VR FOV Comparable to the Human Eyes

For the rise of all-in-one VR headsets, the drive of hardware technology is the key. Currently, chip makers, such as Intel, Qualcomm and AMD all seek to optimize the flagship chips for VR devices. The application of AMOLED screens has provided substantial support for persistence control, while the key technical mission for VR manufactures is to provide good performance of optics, positioning and tracking, and wearability.

The first issue to be solved is the FOV (field of view) of VR devices. Currently, the mainstream products of the industry offer an FOV range between 96 and 110 degrees. But the FOV of Idealens II has reached to 120 degrees, which is the maximum value among various VR devices currently available on the market.

On this basis, Idealens II is supplied with two AMOLED screens, with a refresh rate of 90Hz, significantly reducing persistence for display. Thanks to the base algorithm developed by the Idealens team, the device is supplied with the advanced technologies of low lapse and the ATW (Asynchronous Time Warp), which can effectively reduce dizziness during use due to display delay. The overall delay can be controlled within 17ms and with top-speed response, users can experience a smoother, more realistic virtual world.

Idealens II will also launch a new position tracking accessory which is under international patent protection and of a lower cost and reaches a higher precision level of 1mm. The tracking accessory also supports the function of motion capture of multiple players which responds to movements in the virtual world and allows users to move, walk, jump and wield virtual weapons.

The release of Idealens II all-in-one VR headset not only welcomes a major product into the global VR line-up, but also enables the industry to truly enter the VR mobility era in terms of technology.

The features of the device, such as the 120-degree FOV, 17ms delay, precise and wide range position tracking, and comfortable and convenient wearing method, all enable the experience of the mobile VR device to reach or even exceed that of the PC-attached products, making it the new benchmark for the entire VR industry.

Global Debut Release in Seattle for the New Idealens All-in-one VR Headset

SEATTLE, May 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In the technical community in 2016, the sector with the most novelties is probably virtual reality (VR). After the product releases by the three tech giants, namely, Oculus, HTC and Sony, at 19:00, May 5, 2016, Pacific Time, Idealens II, another important all-in-one VR headset, was officially launched in Seattle to the global market.

This release was presided over by Brent Jentzsch, Business Development Director of Idealens. The company invited many elite experts of the VR industry to witness the maiden show of Idealens II. Among the guests who attended the event, many were dignitaries of the VR industry, such as Todd Hooper, CEO of VREAL and founder of the Seattle VR Salon; Taylor Freeman, CEO of UploadVR; Pete Moss, Chief Software Engineer of Unity Technologies; Ivan Blaustein, Director of Product Integration of VRstudios; and Kyle Riesenbeck, Senior Technical Expert of Studio/216.The guests showed up at the scene of the event and experienced the all-in-one VR headset of Idealens II at the first time.

During the event, Idealens II perfectly demonstrated the "charms of mobility" as an all-in-one VR headset. When the user puts it on, they may move boundlessly and freely, without being tethered by the host and wires. There are no limitations for them to use different scenes, where they may step into another virtual world when they stand up, walk, sit, or lie down. Even the dignitaries who attended the event showed great interest in Idealens II.

After their experience, the guests and pros spoke highly of its performance. They believed that it was an extraordinary breakthrough for Idealens II to be comparable with the experience offered by the top-level PC grade VR machines given the device's achievement of overcoming the environmental limitations for use.

Technological advantages are a main reason for the Idealens II all-in-one VR to gain good recognition from the professionals. Though a cool exterior and a smart and compact body the device has, the hardware strength cannot be downplayed. Through a vivid speech, Brent Jentzsch unveiled the advanced technologies adopted by Idealens II one by one.

Among the technical features, the most attractive one is its unique innovations on exterior design and wearable technology. Unlike PC grade VR devices, it is an important technical challenge for the all-in-one devices to meet the requirements for use in mobility conditions, while the wearable solution demonstrated by Idealens II is a very excellent one in this regard.

According to Brent Jentzsch, Idealens II is the first across the globe to have employed a solution of rear battery pack for balance weight for the all-in-one VR headset. With a weight of 320g for the main body and a mounting way featuring a steel structure with a spring mechanism, the Idealens II provides excellent comfort for wearing, and the device provides the most reasonable design for wearable solution in the industry.

According to user feedback, Idealens II is the best VR product in terms of comfort among all its VR counterparts. The users do not need any manual adjustment, and they can enter the breathtaking virtual world instantly. Considering different uses, Idealens II provides multiple methods for wearing, such as game mode and cinema mode.

Comparatively, professionals from the United States are more concerned with the optical performance of Idealens II. This area has always been the expertise of Idealens. The FOV (field of view) of Idealens II has reached 120 degrees, which is the maximum value among those of all types of VR devices currently available on the market.

Supporting the 120-degree FOV are two AMOLED screens of low persistence, with a refresh rate at 90Hz. Thanks to the base algorithm development competence accumulated perennially by the Idealens team, the device is supplied with the advanced technologies of low lapse and the ATW (Asynchronous Time Warp), which can effectively reduce the dizziness during use due to display delay. The overall delay can be controlled within 17ms. With top-speed response, you may experience a virtual world with greater smoothness and immersion.

The professionals interviewed at the site after using the device all said that Idealens II provided great immersion. One of the experts remarked, "The super-wide field of view and splendid image quality instantly took me into an unknown world, in which I felt as if I were personally on the scene. After I removed the glasses, I was in a trance for a few seconds as I had returned to the world of reality. It was truly amazing!"

Actually, before the release of Idealens II, the first generation of Idealens all-in-one VR headset had earned an extraordinary reputation in the industry at important global exhibitions. After GDC 2016, experts such as Robert Pleasant, American tech-columnist, and editors from 4Gamer.net, Japan's largest gaming website, praised the Idealens all-in-one headset publicly.

At CIMC, which ended recently, senior executives from Google, Twitter and Amazon spoke highly of the product as well. For this time, the release of the Idealens II all-in-one VR headset marked a comprehensive upgrade in terms of exterior, performance, and response experience compared to the device of last generation. It was not unexpected that the device could reap a favorable reputation in the industry.

New Wireless Fence Provides Pet Parents with an Affordable, Convenient Solution for Safely Containing Pets Outdoors

PetSafe® Free to Roam Wireless Fence(TM) system offers economical alternative to traditional fencing

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- PetSafe(®) brand is offering pet parents an affordable, effective way to allow their pets to play safely in their yard with its new Free to Roam Wireless Fence(TM) system.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7827751-petsafe-free-to-roam-wireless-fence/

Traditional above-ground fences cost thousands of dollars and may not be an option for people living in rental properties. The PetSafe Free to Roam Wireless Fence provides a convenient solution for a fraction of the cost of traditional fencing.

The PetSafe Free to Roam Wireless Fence covers a circular area of up to half an acre or 180 feet in diameter. The boundaries can be adjusted from 5-90 feet in all directions of the indoor transmitter. Since the system is completely wireless, there are no unsightly cables to bury - simply plug the transmitter into a standard outlet.

"Our new Free to Roam Wireless Fence system is made with pets and owners in mind," said Marcus Wolf, category manager for PetSafe Containment and Avoidance products. "A wireless fence gives pet parents peace of mind to let their dogs safely enjoy their yard. It makes it easy and fun for pets and their parents to enjoy fresh air and exercise."

Designed for pets five pounds or larger, the PetSafe Free to Roam Wireless Fence uses a waterproof receiver collar with five adjustable levels of correction, as well as a tone-only mode for training. When the pet approaches the fence's boundaries, he'll hear a warning tone and if he continues, he'll receive a safe - but surprising - static correction from the collar. Additional collars are also available for multiple pet homes.

The PetSafe Free to Roam Wireless Fence is also a great solution for families who like to travel with their pets. The portable unit can be used anywhere a standard outlet is available, such as RVs, cabins or vacation homes.

The PetSafe Free to Roam Wireless Fence comes with easy installation and training instructions and is available for purchase on PetSafe.net.

iQIYI Announces Establishment of the world's Largest Chinese-language VR Platform

BEIJING, May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- iQIYI, one of the largest internet and mobile video service providers in China, announced today the launch of a virtual reality set and the introduction of a VR partner incentive scheme with an aim to establish the world's largest Chinese-language VR platform.

The leading video-streaming company based in Beijing rolled out its plan to tap the virtual reality sector during the first day of the 2016 iQIYI World Conference, which is held in the capital city on May 5(th) and 6(th).

"In recent years, the investment in VR hardware development has made significant gains, but this cutting-edge technology still remains a futuristic concept to ordinary people in the absence of a VR content platform," said Gong Yu, founder and CEO of iQIYI.

"iQIYI's expertise in online video and games will serve us as a springboard to build up an open and complete industry chain that covers VR production, distribution and interaction."

At the conference, iQIYI launched the iVR+ set, which consists of two apps designed for all-in-one VR devices, namely iVR Panorama Cinema and iVR Game Room, as well as a new VR feature in the iQIYI app. The iVR+ set is able to cover all the head-mounted VR devices currently available.

To help nurture the market for Chinese made VR productions, iQIYI also announced a VR Partner Incentive Program, in which the company will work with VR video and game developers to make 10 copyrighted online films and dramas and 100 copyrighted games into VR productions.

As part of the scheme, iQIYI, the largest open-ended VR platform in China, will provide marketing, production and operation assistance to more than 300 of its partners in VR content and device manufacturing sectors.

iQIYI expects that the VR services jointly developed by iQIYI and its partners will reach more than 10 million users in China over the next 12 months.

At the event, iQIYI said it has reached an agreement with Wuxi Soulpower Culture Media Co., Ltd., one of the finest 3D production companies in China, to produce a VR fantasy film, Iron fists of the Despicable. Wuxi Soulpower is behind the 2015 blockbuster film Mojin: The Lost Legend.

"Over the past six years, iQIYI has built itself into the number one player in China's video streaming industry, which gives us a solid foundation when venturing into VR market," said iQIYI senior vice president Duan Youqiao.

"China has the full potential to grow into the world's biggest VR content supply and consumption market. And we believe that day will come soon with our joined efforts."

In recent years, iQIYI has built itself from a leading video streaming company in China into a comprehensive portal for online entertainment services. Its businesses have extended from online films, drama, and variety shows to mobile games, e-commerce, literature social media services and so on.

Currently, iQIYI is the largest video streaming player in China in terms of the number of users. As of March this year, 350 million PC users access to iQIYI and 275 million people use iQIYI's mobile app, according to iResearch.

Paperlit Unveils Paperlit Live to Boost Newsstand App Engagement

MILAN, May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

      New feature enables publishers to include exclusive, live content alongside their

                               digital edition kiosk app 

    Paperlit [http://paperlit.com ], the digital publishing solution for magazine
publishers and brands, announced today that "Paperlit Live", a new feature enabling
publishers to add exclusive content to their branded newsstand app, will be unveiled at
the upcoming FIPP London taking place in London, England, May 10-11, 2016 at booth #18

    Companies using Paperlit to create branded newsstand apps to distribute publications,
like magazines, catalogues, sales collateral or marketing guides, can now add live feeds
to share content from their website or blog, or exclusive content for app users only.

    "In addition to selling digital editions, publishers want to connect with mobile
audiences on a regular basis and share content when it matters most," said Paperlit CEO &
President, Luca Filigheddu. "With Paperlit Live, publishers can publish news feeds
side-by-side their digital magazine kiosk, creating a fully connected, one-stop mobile
experience for their readers."

    Live feeds also helps publishers attract more users, convert those users into paid
subscribers via in-app purchase and increase app profitability.

    "We have seen smaller publishers and brands struggle to increase usage of digital
edition apps beyond their weekly or monthly publishing schedule," noted Filigheddu. "When
publishers share fresh content daily, hourly or on the minute, app visits increase and
publishers are in-turn able to nurture users towards paying to read digital publications."

    Paperlit Live is the latest feature the company has unveiled to strengthen Paperlit's
competitive position and expand appeal outside the publishing industry to brands. Paperlit
also offers subscription management configuration, in-app advertising, push notification,

Chibi Maruko Chan Dream Stage is developed and published by Animoca Brands in partnership with Nippon Animation, under a revenue share agreement providing Animoca Brands with rights to the Chibi Maruko Chan characters, further expanding the Company's brand portfolio.

This collaboration has produced the first official worldwide mobile game for the highly popular Chibi Maruko Chan brand. The new mobile puzzle game is free to download and play, with optional paid content.

Chibi Maruko Chan Dream Stage features Chibi Maruko Chan and other characters from the hugely popular Chibi Maruko Chan anime, first broadcast in 1990 and aired continuously since then. The anime achieved record ratings in Japan and was distributed to dozens of countries around the world.

Chibi Maruko Chan tells the everyday adventures of the sweetly obnoxious title character Maruko, a nine year-old girl growing up in 1970s Japan. First published in 1986 as a manga, the thoughtfulness and nostalgia of the source material have rendered it highly popular across Asia, making it one of the top selling shojo manga of all time (shojo refers to manga aimed at a teenage female readership).

The award-winning manga has been adapted into two anime series, three live action TV series, three motion pictures, and numerous console video games.

Players of Chibi Maruko Chan Dream Stage will help Maruko realise her ambition of becoming a TV star by stringing together combinations of orbs in fast-paced puzzle tile gameplay. High combos and scores will unlock new characters, bonuses, collections, and powerups.

Featuring distinctive artwork based on the anime series, Chibi Maruko Chan Dream Stage includes voice acting by the seiyuu (character voices) who perform as Maruko in the Japanese, Taiwanese, and Hong Kong versions of the anime TV series.

Animoca Brands and Nippon Animation are collaborating on online and offline promotions for the game on the occasion of the Chibi Maruko Chan manga's 30th anniversary.

Robby Yung, CEO of Animoca Brands, commented: "We're honoured to bring to market the first official mobile game for Chibi Maruko Chan, a beloved and best-selling manga and anime series. The popularity of the brand is significant across Asia, which is the largest and fastest growing mobile gaming market, and we expect Chibi Maruko Chan Dream Stage to be popular with young and old alike throughout the region."

Bud's Universal Banking Platform, the Future of Internet Banking?

LONDON, May 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Launching July 1st, Bud aims to link people to the world of financial technology - or
fintech for short - which could mean big things for people's wallets.  

    Tech startup Bud is launching a website and mobile app that hopes to cause a
revolution in how everyone interacts with their money. Working with major UK banks and
leading fintech products, Bud has positioned itself to be a financial product which helps
everyone. Bud is a personal money portal focussed on helping people find and use multiple

know these services are available to them, at Bud we wanted to create a place where people
could understand and use these brilliant new technologies. We make this easy for the user
via text commands such as "send money abroad" or simple yes/no questions." This new take
on product listing will likely make the fintech market more accessible for people who are
put off by the large number of choices available to them. Ed continues: "there are use
cases for all of these companies, the trick is match-making people's problem with a
solution and giving them a unified experience."

    Bud's focus is on collaboration between financial product owners. Their marketplace is
built on the concept of customer sharing to create a better overall experience. Luke

Meet sqgl, the new app that lets you send postcards the digital way

A team of Harvard Business School students launch app to create and send personalized physical postcards.

BOSTON, May 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For years, postcards were the preferred way to share adventures and experiences with friends and family. But in today's digital world, the tedious process of finding, stamping, and mailing postcards has been replaced by emails, texts, and social media platforms. A new app out of Harvard Business School, sqgl, aims to recapture the magic of traditional postcards by leveraging modern technology.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160503/363380

The app can be downloaded on the app store, and more information about the company can be found on their website.

The team at sqgl created a mobile app that allows you to use your phone's camera and pictures to send personalized, physical postcards to your loved ones. Notably, the app eliminates the traditional frictions of finding postcards, writing down addresses, buying stamps, and hunting down a post office by automating and operationalizing the physical development and sending of the postcard. The app includes a number of tech-savvy features, such as automated SMS messaging if you're missing a contact's address, options to personalize your card with emoticons and a touch-generated signature (or a namesake "squiggle"), and Apple Pay compatibility. The app also includes an option for customized watermarks on the final postcard, a nod to potential partnership opportunities with hotels, hostels, and restaurants.

"We are all passionate about travel and adventure, and love to share our experiences with friends and family. There's something nostalgic and personal about a traditional postcard, but it's just such a hassle to send one," says Bonnie Cao, one of sqgl's co-founders. "We wanted to create an easy-to-use, modern-day solution, so we created sqgl."

In 2015, 839 million postcards were sent via first-class mail. However, the sqgl team isn't only targeting existing postcard customers. "We want to reintroduce the postcard to millennial users," says Ollie Wilson, another co-founder. "We think there's a market for consumers like ourselves who appreciate the gesture of a physical card, but don't want to go through all the steps to send one."

A single postcard from sqgl costs $2.99 to send domestically, and $3.99 to send internationally. Postcards are printed and sent within a single business day of a completed order. For more information, please reach out to info@sqgl.cards.

of LTE modules for IoT devices, including Altair's FourGee-1160 as the engine behind its
M14A2A - LTE-Only CAT-1 module.

    Altair's IoT cellular roadmap including CAT-1, and CAT-M1/M2, will fundamentally
disrupt the competitive dynamics between cellular IoT and proprietary LPWA technologies,
enabling the offering of price/power competitive solutions to a growing IoT customer base.

    "AT&T's IoT strategy is consistent with where we see things going, so we want to be
there to support them, whether it's with broadband, CAT-1 or, soon enough, CAT-M," said
Eran Eshed, Co-founder and VP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing for Altair.

    The Altair chipset enables cost- and feature-optimized modules and devices that
support advanced features such as VoLTE and LWM2M device management. The FourGee-1160 also
integrates a power-optimized MCU subsystem with enhanced security, facilitating end device
applications running on the LTE baseband chip without the need for an external MCU.

    "Businesses depend on IoT solutions for gathering near real-time information on assets
around the world," said Cameron Coursey, vice president, product development, Internet of
Things Solutions, AT&T. "This LTE chipset provides a low-cost solution, opening up the
market to more customers and devices. We're excited to see innovative companies such as
Altair lead the ecosystem in this important direction."
