https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160321/346482LOGO

This state-of-the-art attraction, designed exclusively for Carowinds, is based off the Plants vs. Zombies(TM) Garden Warfare franchise - a hilarious and over-the-top videogame series that includes the critically-acclaimed Plants vs. Zombies(TM) Garden Warfare 2, now available in stores and for digital download on Xbox One, the all in one games system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Origin(TM) for PC.

The fate of the world hangs in the balance in Plants vs. Zombies(TM) Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena, as the evil genius Dr. Zomboss (the leader of the zombie horde) makes his newest attempt to collect all of the world's brains.

Players will mount up on one of the 68 motion-based seats, which rock forward and backward nearly eight degrees in each direction, all the while shooting from a hand-held laser device at a 14'6" x 26' screen. 3-D glasses provide an enhanced reality and added effects for players. The stakes are high as the respective teams attempt to overtake their foes. Plants vs. Zombies(TM) Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena is located in the newly renovated Action Theater in the County Fair section of the park.

"We're thrilled to partner with Carowinds, and can't wait for people to dive into this innovative digital experience."

Huawei Announces New Breakthrough in All-Optical Cross-Connect Field

ANAHEIM, Calif., March 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, has today announced that it is releasing ultra-large port non-blocking wavelength adding/dropping technology (also known as ADWSS) and corresponding optical node architecture.

The announcement was made at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC) 2016, the largest such global conference and exposition. Huawei also showcased an 8-degree ADWSS prototype that supports wavelength adding and dropping on 128 ports, implementing the free optical cross-connection of 640 wavelengths on these ports. This is a new technical breakthrough in the all-optical cross-connect field and achieves dramatic progress in developing all-optical cross-connections on transport networks.

With the rapid increase in data traffic and the development of software-defined networking (SDN) technology, flexible grooming of optical-layer node services is now crucial. At the moment, many independent optical modules are required to construct colorless, directionless, and contentionless optical nodes. For example, at least 8 multicast switch (MCS) modules, 64 optical amplifier (OA) modules, and 128 fiber connections are required for an 8-degree node, which are expensive, have low integrity, and poor flexibility and maintainability.

The Huawei 8-degree ADWSS prototype adopts a leading optical switching engine and innovative two-dimensional optical processing technology. One module implements the functions of eight independent sub-systems and supports non-blocking adding and dropping of 640 wavelengths on 128 ports, requiring no OA or internal fiber connection and featuring high flexibility. In addition, the supported port number can be easily increased to 256, 512, or even higher. The brand-new optical nodes, constructed based on the ADWSS prototype, have high integrity and flexibility, greatly reducing cost and improving maintainability.

This technology is important for the evolution of transport networks to all-optical networks. Huawei continues to strive to make technical breakthroughs in the all-optical cross-connect field. It has also released the wavelength-based multidimensional all-optical cross-connect technology, Petabit Photonic Cross-Connect (PPXC) prototype, and all-optical cross-connect network architecture that can be applied to all topologies to support the application of optical cross-connect technology, assisting customers to efficiently handle challenges presented by the future growth in digital information.

About Huawei
Huawei is a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider. Our aim is to enrich life and improve efficiency through a better connected world, acting as a responsible corporate citizen, innovative enabler for the information society, and collaborative contributor to the industry. Driven by customer-centric innovation and open partnerships, Huawei has established an end-to-end ICT solutions portfolio that gives customers competitive advantages in telecom and enterprise networks, devices and cloud computing.

LG's Expanded 2016 Monitor Lineup Hits U.S. Stores

New 21:9 UltraWide and 4K Monitors, Designed for Professional and Personal Applications, Now Available at Retail

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., March 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA announced today that LG's full line of 2016 UltraWide® and 4K monitors - including the flagship 34UC98 Curved UltraWide and 27UD88 4K* monitors, which were previewed at CES® 2016 - are now available in the United States at retail stores nationwide.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160322/347102

LG's 34UC98, priced at $1199.99, and 27UD88, priced at $699.99, are both suited for creative professionals, tech and entertainment enthusiasts alike. Both models marry superior picture quality with the latest in connectivity, professional features and stunning design, to offer a high-end user experience that is unmatched in its category.

"LG's monitor line-up delivers a more immersive experience than ever before, maximizing screen real estate with almost-disappearing bezels and unparalleled resolution," said David VanderWaal, vice president of marketing, LG Electronics USA. "These new monitors show how LG strives for continuous innovation to exceed customers' expectations by creating products that provide breathtaking aesthetics and unparalleled user experience."

Immersive Picture Quality
The LG 34UC98, with a 21:9 aspect ratio that significantly expands overall screen real estate for power users, features Quad HD resolution (3440 x 1440 pixels), allowing movies, games and sports to come to life on the wider screen. The 34UC98's Quad HD resolution surpasses the resolution of a Full HD 21:9 monitor by more than 1.8 times and a Full HD 16:9 monitor by more than 2.4 times. Meanwhile, the 27UD88 delivers the sharpest detail, thanks to its 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), perfect for photographers and other creative professionals who require the utmost detail available. Both models include LG's proprietary picture enhancing IPS display technology for users to enjoy accurate color reproduction with limited washout, even at wide viewing angles - virtually 180 degrees.

The 34UC98 includes Thunderbolt(TM) 2 - an indispensable feature for users who work with large video and image files - which can transfer roughly 10-gigabits-per-second throughput in both directions and allows multiple devices to be daisy chained together. This helps digital imaging professionals enjoy the monitor's advanced processing power, which simultaneously supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices.

Professional Features for Maximum Productivity

LG's Dual Controller feature allows two compatible portable devices such as a computer, camera, phone or Blu-ray player to be connected to the monitor and both can be viewed on the same screen and controlled with one keyboard and mouse, simultaneously.

Special features include the True Color Finder color calibration software that ensures color accuracy for source material, which is a must for photographers and graphic design professionals. Through LG-provided OnScreen Control software, preset display settings such as Dark Room Mode, Game Mode, Black Stabilizer and Dynamic Action Sync, are available for users to enjoy multiple settings for different uses and viewing environments. The 34UC98 also features MAXX AUDIO® and is equipped with an updated 7Wx2 stereo speaker system guaranteed to deliver peak audio performance across all frequencies.

In addition to stunning picture quality, seamless connectivity and professional features, LG is introducing a number of impressive design elements in its 2016 monitor lineup. The 27UD88 sports LG's brand-new CINEMA Screen and provides a 53 percent thinner bezel than previous models and nearly borderless visual experience for the utmost in immersive viewing. The 34UC98's gently curved screen offers a unique aesthetic and helps the display deliver a more immersive experience.

Microchip Announces Two New Digitally Enhanced Power Analog Controllers Designed for Next Generation LED Lighting Applications

MCP19116 and MCP19117 enables intelligent, configurable, and accurate LED lighting

BANGKOK, March 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --Microchip Technology Inc [NASDAQ: MCHP], a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, has announced two new digitally enhanced power analog controllers designed for LED lighting applications. The MCP19116 and MCP19117 increase accuracy for LED lighting and allow users to carefully control LED light output levels without sacrificing color or light quality for reliable long-life applications.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20160318/8521601544

Efficiency and longevity have consistently been drivers in LED adoption. However, light quality remains one of the most important system considerations. Color, brightness, and controllability are the key to a successful lighting product. By combining the power and performance of an analog-based controller with the flexibility of a digital interface, the MCP19116/7 is an intelligent pulse width modulation (PWM) controller with a fully integrated PIC(®) MCU core that can deliver cost savings while still providing the highest standards in reliability, efficiency, and light quality. The digital interface also allows for communication and configuration, allowing a subsystem to report status or be remotely controlled. This functionality is necessary for adding lighting to many applications, especially high-reliability automotive and remotely accessible internet of things (IoT) devices.

"The MCP19116/7 is designed to create excellent LED lighting applications, and can do so better than any other LED drive IC on the market," said Keith Pazul, senior manager of Microchip's Analog Power and Interface Division. "Many companies claim they have tight current regulation accuracy in their controllers, when in reality they ignore various sources of error from other components in the system. These devices are highly accurate across all operating conditions and adjustable on the fly using the integrated PIC MCU core. This is truly a best in class solution."

The LED lighting industry continues to grow in market share and reach. A report from Big Market Research from 2015 indicated strong market growth for LED lighting, anticipating the industry to grow 45 percent per year through 2020. The market is also expected to reach over $63 billion in 2020. These predictions are consistent throughout industry analysts.

"LED is here to stay," echoed Pazul. "Microchip has made a diverse investment in technologies to control and drive future generations of LED lighting products. We are proud to be a premier supplier of lighting solutions to a wide variety of applications and end markets."

For more information about MCP19116 and MCP19117, download the data sheet at: http://www.microchip.com/MCP19117-032216b.

Development support

Microchip's MCP19117 Flyback Evaluation Board (ADM00663), which has also been announced, is available now. This evaluation board is offered with a flyback design supporting constant current loads up to 50V, perfect for driving a medium voltage LED string. Also available for the MCP19116 and MCP19117 is Microchip's full suite of development tool support including MPLAB(®) X Integrated Development Environment (IDE). A MPLAB X plugin specific to the digitally enhanced power analog controllers is available.

Availability

The MCP19116 is available now for sample and volume production in 4x4 QFN packages in 10,000-unit quantities. The MCP19117 is available now for sample and volume production in 5x5 QFN packages in 10,000-unit quantities.

Breakthrough Handheld Technology from Welch Allyn Makes Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Simple and Affordable for Primary Care Settings

Early Detection Can Prevent 95% of Vision Loss Cases

CHICAGO, March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults because it often goes undetected. With early detection and treatment, as much as 95 percent of vision loss cases can be prevented(1).

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160322/346934

The new Welch Allyn® RetinaVue(TM) 100 Imager works in conjunction with the RetinaVue(TM) Network to make diabetic retinopathy screening in primary care settings truly practical for the first time. By quickly and comfortably screening patients as part of their routine primary care visit, it has been shown that RetinaVue can double patient compliance for potentially vision-saving annual diabetic retinal exams (DREs) in 12 months((2)).

"Diabetes is an epidemic; there are 44 million people living with diabetes in North America today, and by 2040 there will be 60 million((3)). It's simply tragic that a large percentage of patients with diabetes aren't being screened for diabetic retinopathy when it's one of the most preventable causes of blindness among adults," said Alton Shader, president of Welch Allyn. "RetinaVue has the potential to change lives by helping to identify diabetic retinopathy in those individuals who had not previously been screened for the disease, enhancing the potential to save the sight of thousands, if not millions, of people with diabetes."

Welch Allyn, a leading medical diagnostic device company that is a division of Hill-Rom (NYSE: HRC), makes this possible by shattering the price barrier for high-quality fundus imaging. The RetinaVue 100 Imager costs two-thirds less than full-size fundus cameras, yet the imager is designed such that any healthcare professional in a primary care practice can capture and transmit high-quality fundus images with minimal training. The solution utilizes proprietary touchless auto-focus/image-capture technology and integrated image-quality assessment algorithms.

RetinaVue is a complete turnkey solution that consists of a portfolio of partner camera technologies, the newly introduced RetinaVue 100 Imager, the HIPAA compliant RetinaVue Network, and a nationwide team of board certified retinal specialists that review the fundus images and return a diagnostic report and referral/screening plan the same day--usually in 90 minutes.

RetinaVue is part of the Welch Allyn VISION FOR ALL(TM) initiative that is committed to delivering simple and affordable screening solutions in primary care settings to help eradicate some of the leading causes of preventable blindness.

VIZIO Debuts Next Generation Streaming Ecosystem on All-New VIZIO SmartCast(TM) P-Series(TM) Ultra HD HDR Home Theater Display(TM)

VIZIO SmartCast Collection Features Intuitive App that Allows Users to Browse Content Across Multiple Sources

IRVINE, Calif., March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- VIZIO, Inc. announced today the launch of VIZIO SmartCast, its next generation smart entertainment ecosystem which will span displays, sound bars and standalone speakers. VIZIO SmartCast debuts on the all-new P-Series Ultra HD HDR Home Theater Display collection, the first Ultra HD and High Dynamic Range offerings to fully integrate Google Cast technology. The displays are controlled by the VIZIO SmartCast app that comes preinstalled on the included 6" 1080p Android((TM) )Tablet Remote. P-Series marries its intuitive smart features with unmatched picture quality technologies that were first brought to market on the VIZIO Reference Series. Available now, the collection starts at an MSRP of $999.99 for the 50" class size. 

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160321/346302

The VIZIO SmartCast app turns every mobile device screen into a remote control and represents a paradigm shift in content discovery. Instead of jumping between apps, VIZIO SmartCast allows users to search and browse content first by genre across multiple apps at once, then select the app or source to play the content. The app also simplifies on-screen navigation. Rather than struggling to see and adjust settings or navigate apps from across the room, VIZIO SmartCast users gain access to all menus and playback controls through the app. With the VIZIO SmartCast app available for download on iOS and Android devices, consumers will never have to deal with a lost remote again.

"The VIZIO SmartCast app, pre-installed on the P-Series Tablet Remote, finally brings home entertainment into the mobile era with advanced navigation, search and control of content sources," said Matt McRae, Chief Technology Officer, VIZIO. "We're excited to debut the P-Series collection, which not only sets a new benchmark with picture quality technologies like High Dynamic Range and Ultra Color Spectrum(TM), but is also the world's first display to fully integrate the Google Cast protocol."

The VIZIO SmartCast P-Series Ultra HD HDR Home Theater Display boasts the same advanced picture quality technologies first released on the 2015 VIZIO 120" and 65" Reference Series. Ultra HD featuring High Dynamic Range with Dolby Vision content support transforms the entertainment experience with dramatic imaging, incredible brightness, contrast and color that brings content to life. New release titles such as In the Heart of the Sea and Point Break continue to roll out through video-on-demand services like VUDU, which currently has more than 30 Warner Bros. titles available in the Dolby Vision format.

"We're excited to see VIZIO cascade Dolby Vision into their P-Series collection, delivering a premium imaging experience to a broader range of consumers," said Giles Baker, SVP, Broadcast Business Group, Dolby Laboratories. "Viewers are now just a few taps away from the vibrant color and stunning contrast that Dolby Vision brings to Hollywood content."

In addition to High Dynamic Range, Ultra Color Spectrum provides a wider color gamut enabling impeccable accuracy in every hue and tone, allowing more realistic colors than ever before. The P-Series also features powerful Full-Array LED backlighting with up to 128 Active LED Zones(®) which dynamically adjust to on-screen content for deeper, richer black levels and more accurate contrast(1).

Each VIZIO SmartCast P-Series Ultra HD HDR Home Theater Display includes a 6" Android Tablet Remote with a convenient wireless charging dock, putting consumers in control of their entertainment. The tablet remote comes pre-installed with the VIZIO SmartCast app and features Full HD 1080p resolution, Android Lollipop OS, a powerful V8 octa-core processor, integrated stereo speakers and 16GB of storage, making it a great standalone tablet as well. Consumers can enjoy games and other apps, available for download from the Google Play store(2), on the device.

With Google Cast built in to every VIZIO SmartCast device, consumers can access thousands of mobile apps they already know and love. By simply tapping the Cast button, consumers can easily watch content go from their mobile screen to any VIZIO SmartCast or Cast-enabled device on their home WiFi network. And with casting over WiFi, users can still multi-task on the P-Series included tablet remote or their own mobile device without interrupting what is casting on the display. 

VIZIO SmartCast makes its debut on the P-Series Ultra HD HDR Home Theater Display with additional collections and products to follow. P-Series is available now with more information and retailers available at VIZIO.com.

Casio Offers The Perfect Entertainment Additions For New Homes This Spring

From LampFree® Projectors to Electronic Musical Instruments, Casio Amps Up the Home Entertainment Experience

DOVER, N.J., March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring is here and home buyers are flooding the market in search of that perfect house that they can call their own. Whether consumers are looking to invest in a big house or a small apartment, Casio America, Inc.'s portfolio of electronic musical instruments and LampFree(® )projectors are excellent options to consider when looking for ways to customize a new home and create an amplified entertainment experience.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160223/336539LOGO

"Casio knows that potential homeowners are increasingly interested in built-in and added-on technologies for their home to enhance the overall entertainment experience," said Yuji Sasajima, CEO of Casio America, Inc. "With this in mind, Casio strives to provide high-quality products for budget-friendly home upgrades. Casio's SLIM projectors and line of digital pianos are the perfect home entertainment additions as they offer features for every person in the family."

Amplifying the Home Theater Experience
Whether consumers prefer to be on the edge of their seats during intense sports games or desire a true movie theater experience in the comfort of their own home, Casio offers homeowners and movie-buffs alike a first-class upgrade to their home theater with its SLIM series of projectors. Weighing in at just five pounds, Casio's SLIM projectors are only 1.7 inches thick, require little-to-no setup time and provide projection at maximum brightness in as few as five seconds allowing for a truly immersive experience. The SLIM series of LampFree projectors also features Casio's proprietary LASER & LED HYBRID Light Source, which combines a laser, a fluorescent element, and LEDs to eliminate the use of mercury and generate high brightness. Casio's SLIM projectors offer an estimated 20,000 hours lifespan with minimal brightness degradation and continuous operation, which far outshines that of conventional projectors that require mercury lamp replacements. Each model is fitted with a fully connectable interface, including three types of video and audio inputs, as well as HDMI, RGB and RS-232C terminals.

Bringing the Power of Music Home
A fresh coat of paint can certainly add to the ambiance in a new home, but a beautifully crafted piano can boost the aesthetics of any space by serving as the perfect accent piece, as well as an entertainment hub for family and guests alike. Casio's new groundbreaking digital pianos - the CELVIANO Grand Hybrid GP-500BP and GP-300 - are designed to combine the advantages of digital technology with the traditional sound and feel of acoustic pianos to deliver an experience like that of a grand piano in a compact design.

Casio's new AiR Sound Source flawlessly recreates the complex sound of an acoustic piano in every aspect, including sympathetic string resonance, damper resonance, and key-off response. The CELVIANO Grand Hybrid pianos also feature a new Natural Grand Hammer Action Keyboard, delivering an authentic grand piano hammer movement. Both the GP-500BP and GP-300 feature a Grand Acoustic System that represents the sound of a grand piano as it emanates from above and below the soundboard. The multi-channel amplification system creates an immersive sound field like that of a 9-foot concert grand for both the player and audience, allowing consumers to create unforgettable memories.

inWatch Signs Strategic Partnership with Qualcomm and Borqs for Smartwatch Standardization at Baselworld

China's Premier Smartwatch Brand, inWatch, Now Enabling All Traditional Watchmakers To Go Smart Rapidly with Wear4G Platform and SnapDragon Wear 2100 Processor

BASEL, Switzerland, March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In a launch ceremony officiated by Baselworld's China Pavilion on March 20, 2016 at the world's most famous show for the watch industry with over 150,000 attendees, Baselworld 2016; Qualcomm, inWatch, and Borqs announced a strategic partnership easing the barriers of entry for traditional watch brands and manufacturers to integrate next-gen smart capabilities into their watches.

The initiative is being led by inWatch, a four year old startup, but already a veteran in the wearables industry with almost a million users in China.  inWatch has been making waves as of late with their partnerships with Tencent, Swarovski,  and Alibaba. "Smartwatches aren't just about hardware.  It's a highly complicated supply chain involving hardware, software, and data service.  For a traditional watch to go smart would normally take a year if they could even piece together the resources.  Now with SnapDragon Wear 2100 and inWatch's Wear4G solution, we can offer turnkey solutions to market within even a fiscal quarter," said Neo Wang, CEO of inWatch.

Qualcomm's SnapDragon Wear 2100, freshly announced in only February 2016, boasts exciting new features for the wearable sector.  Presenting the features on site was Pankaj Kedia, Sr. Director for Qualcomm. The Snapdragon 2100 processor is 30 percent smaller than Qualcomm's previous-generation wearable processors, enabling thinner, sleeker product designs. An integrated, ultra-low power sensor hub supports richer algorithms with greater accuracy, providing a cohesive picture of users and their environments. And, the processor uses 25 percent less power, extending the wearable's battery life and offering manufacturers more freedom to innovate in features and design.

Borqs is excited that as an inWatch partner, it can enable new possibilities for OEMs to accelerate the deployment of innovative wearable devices. The SnapDragon and inWatch Wear4G platform consists of a full suite of processors, software, support tools and reference designs from Borqs to allow mobile, fashion, and sports customers to bring a diverse range of full-featured wearables to the market quickly.  Representing Borqs was George Thangadurai, President of Borqs U.S.

"Our event is called 'A Watch Revolution,' and we mean it.  The inWatch Wear4G platform is the new standard in the watch industry and the watch brands we all love will soon be launching new smart features with it," said Sam Force, President of inWatch USA.  Working with Qualcomm and Borqs, inWatch marked the official opening of the smart wearable device 4G era in Baselworld, Switzerland. 

About inWatch:
inWatch (                                 ) is the premier smartwatch brand in China with a remarkable 12.1% marketshare with almost a million users.  It has over 100 employees with offices in Shenzhen, Beijing and Seattle.  In Swiss Handelszeitung newspaper's Daily List of "2015 Most Innovative Companies List in Wearables," inWatch was the only Chinese company to make it to the top 8 and ranked even above FitBit.  BD Contact: Jason.lau@inwatch.cn

Borqs International Holding Company (      ) is a high-tech company providing end-to-end service platform solutions for operators, terminal manufacturers, and chip manufacturers in the global mobile internet industry.

Microsemi DIGI-G4's Encryption Engine to Lead Secured Optical Connectivity to the Cloud

DIGI-G4's CrypOTN Architecture Awarded FIPS 197 Certification

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today announced its DIGI-G4, the company's latest DIGI Optical Transport Network (OTN) processor enabling the transition to 400G OTN switching solutions, has been certified to the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 197. NIST's FIPS 197 is considered the global industry standard for secure data encryption in metro and datacenter interconnect optical transport infrastructure, serving the telecommunications, financial, healthcare and government markets.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20110909/MM66070LOGO

With DIGI-G4's integrated OTN encryption engine certification with NIST Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-256, Microsemi is enabling optical layer encryption at 100G into networks worldwide. Used in conjunction with Microsemi's SmartFusion((TM))2 system-on-chip (SoC) field programmable gate array (FPGA) as its root of trust, DIGI-G4 delivers the necessary components of a highly secure encryption-enabled line cards needed for packet optical transport equipment.

"The mass migration of data to the cloud is driving the industry to respond with a security solution for the optical layer interconnecting datacenters and enterprises worldwide. We responded by integrating the encryption engine into our DIGI-G4 platform in order to deliver the lowest latency wire-speed encryption offering, regardless of client or traffic type," said Babak Samimi, vice president and business unit manager of Microsemi's communications business unit. "By taking the lead in securing FIPS 197 certification, the ecosystem can leverage our effort and focus on accelerating time to market for the new class of security enabled optical platforms."

According to market research firm IHS, security is the top concern customers raise when deciding to use off-premises cloud services. In addition, the Ponemon Institute estimates the total annualized cost of cybercrime can reach as high as $65 million per organization. Of the 252 companies surveyed, physical layers and data layers combined represent approximately 40 percent of information technology security budget spending.

"AES encryption is the de facto standard for securing data in enterprise, datacenter, telecom, financial, healthcare and government markets," said Clifford Grossner, Ph.D., senior research director of data center, cloud and SDN at IHS and author of its aforementioned research report. "Optical layer encryption is emerging as a key requirement for network operators in the cloud era, and Microsemi's FIPS 197 achievement with DIGI-G4 will enable it to address this market requirement."

DIGI-G4's integrated FIPS 197 certified, low latency, multi-rate, service-agnostic OTN encryption engine allows cloud and communications service providers to ensure the security of data 'in-flight' without compromising network and service performance. The device supports sub-180ns end-to-end optical layer encryption and enables flexible encrypted service models, including the industry's first sub-wavelength OTN encryption solution, which makes encrypted services compatible with the OTN switched networks that are fast becoming the backbone of optical networks worldwide.

The combination of Microsemi's DIGI-G4 and highly secure, low power SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA provide significant security capabilities for customers. SmartFusion2's integrated secure host central processing unit (CPU) supports Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-based authentication architectures and provides the secure key storage required to set up and manage end-to-end encrypted optical links. SmartFusion2 also delivers secure boot functionality for existing non-secure host CPUs as well as differential power analysis (DPA) countermeasures, protecting against the threat of side-channel attacks. These capabilities are enabling new classes of low-power, high-capacity transport platforms optimized specifically for the hyperscale data center WAN interconnect market.

Key differentiating features of DIGI-G4's OTN encryption engine:

    --  Ultralow latency (sub-180nsec)
    --  Industry's first sub-wavelength OTN encryption solution to secure the
        cloud
    --  Multi-service, wire-speed and rate agnostic encryption out performs
        protocol specific alternatives
Key differentiating features of SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA as the root of trust companion to DIGI-G4:

    --  Proven DPA counter measure protection
    --  True random number generator
    --  Physically unclonable function (PUF) for key storage
    --  PCIe Gen2 endpoints for seamless connectivity to host CPUs

Syracuse University students have found the app to be a valuable tool. From a recent article in the Syracuse University online news:

Austin Rhoads, Class of '17, who is majoring in information management and technology, agrees. "The class search is my favorite feature. It is convenient as I begin to search for classes for next semester and doing it through the PC is bulky. One other feature that I really like is the map. Many new students have no idea where a specific building is, let alone where to find out how to get there."

Justin Baumann, Class of '16, a political science major said, "As a student who is constantly moving between different buildings on campus, the convenience of easily checking my phone for my class schedule, or looking up an email address on the directory, is incredibly useful. This is just the beginning of an important tool that SU students will use for years to come."

GreyHeller and Syracuse University began working together on this application in September, 2014.
