Digitally Networked Clinic Information Systems: Rethinking Patient Entertainment

NEUSS, Germany, February 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Modern medicine would be inconceivable without computer technology. Indeed, medical
technology and information technology are becoming more inextricably linked by the day.
This trend however poses considerable challenges for both technical and medical personnel.
Patient entertainment systems can play an important role in meeting these challenges,
provided they are designed not only to provide classic entertainment, but also to
facilitate bedside access by clinic staff to existing and future clinical information
systems.

(Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160225/337435 )

    Enabling medical staff to directly access patients' health records during ward rounds
or medical treatment at the bedside ensures that no information is missed. This in turn
greatly reduces the potential for misunderstanding and miscommunication. But, while
building such as system may sound simple in theory, it is in practice a complex
undertaking. Existing IT landscapes in clinics are after all highly heterogeneous, based
on a variety of different databases and programming languages. Integrating a system like
that described above is therefore no simple feat, requiring close collaboration between
the relevant manufacturers and health care providers.

    Facilitating better information exchange 

    "By synchronizing structures, optimizing processes and creating interfaces with
clinical information systems, the value and the potential benefits of a patient
entertainment system increase considerably," explains the management of ClinicAll
International, a manufacturer of infotainment systems for hospitals based in the German
town of Neuss. "We recognized early on that the true value of a patient entertainment
system lies in its ability to integrate with other clinic information systems, and in the
consequent enabling of clinic staff to access the HIS, EMR and other patient information
systems already in place. This led to our decision in early 2015 to found and promote a
"Technology Alliance for People and Medicine" together with other market leaders from the
manufacturing and clinic management fields. The Alliance's general objective is to foster
clinic-wide accessibility to digital information with the primary aim of improving
internal processes and eradicating digital fault-lines within clinics' process
structures."

    The Technology Alliance currently comprises B.Braun Melsungen AG, Intel Deutschland
GmbH, Lohmann & Birkner Health Care Consulting GmbH, Microsoft Deutschland GmbH, ClinicAll
Deutschland GmbH and Rhön Klinikum AG with its University Hospital Giessen and Marburg. It
presented the first fruits of its work to a wide audience of trade and industry
representatives at the 2015 MEDICA trade fair.

    The challenges faced by health care providers 

    With more and more patients expecting bedside entertainment during their hospital or
clinic stays, the demand among health care providers for affordable classic patient
entertainment systems that medical staff can operate easily is set to increase. Indeed,
hospitals and clinics will increasingly compete for patients on the basis of whether they
can offer easy, user-friendly access to television, radio, Internet, video and patient
information services. However, patient entertainment systems on their own, while certainly
a means of generating additional turnover, will not fulfil clinic and hospital needs in
the long-term. In the future, the role of interactive data exchange at the Point of Care
is set to take on particular importance. This state of affairs calls on providers of
patient entertainment systems to facilitate data exchange via EDI standards, to focus on
user-friendliness, and to also offer mobile/ portable IT solutions that interface with
classic hospital IT, medical technology, and wearables. Many clinics and hospitals,
however, due to their old buildings and outdated infrastructures, will find that creating
the technical conditions necessary for such patient entertainment systems is financially
unfeasible.

    Connecting with HIS and other EPA systems 

    The advantages of connecting patient entertainment systems with HIS and EPA systems
are clearly evident. Implementing this interconnection is often highly complicated,
however. The difficulties here are in part down to the lack of foresight shown by the
companies who first manufactured patient entertainment systems, as the corresponding
software architecture is unable to accommodate integration with a clinical information
system. TÜV Media Online's editorial team asked Neuss-based patient entertainment
manufacturer ClinicAll International for its view on the integration of HIS systems into
bedside patient entertainment systems. The management board's initial statement was a
sober one:

    "We don't currently know of any cases in Germany where a patient entertainment
provider has successfully integrated its system with a clinic's HIS/EMR systems." But the
ClinicAll board went on to explain, "This topic is one of the most important points on our
strategic agenda, however, and is therefore at the forefront of our system development
work. We know that integrating a HIS system with a patient entertainment system on the
basis of HL7 is possible, having accomplished this at a clinic in Golnik, Slovenia.
Together with the company SRC Infonet, which provides this clinic with its HIS system, we
were able to fulfil the clinic management's specifications and successfully integrate the
HIS into our ClinicAll system.

    Now, the clinic's medical staff has bedside access to the HIS system and can thus view
patient files and enter new data into the system from here."

    Experts in Germany agree that the coming years will see a pronounced development drive
in the field of interactive information processing for clinic staff and patients. Clinics
and hospitals will after all have no choice but to act on the social and technological
changes taking place.

    This situation necessitates closer collaboration between HIS providers and patient
entertainment providers on the German market with a view to devising effective integration
solutions. Because, while such integration is technically feasible, little has so far been
done about actually exploiting this feasibility.

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- (HIMSS 2016, Booth #7599) -- Ricoh Americas Corporation today announced the release of its Asset Lifecycle Management for Healthcare offering, a solution that helps hospitals simplify the management of print and other IT managed devices, while helping identify compliance risks. This new solution leverages Information-as-a-Service offerings from Symphion, Inc. designed for Print, IT and Compliance. By utilizing Asset Lifecycle Management for Healthcare's automated scanning, device discovery, and predictive analytics, IT management can make more informed decisions  that can help reduce device, labor and other IT costs, while at the same time manage the risks of ever evolving infrastructure.

"At its core, the healthcare industry serves to protect the most vulnerable from harm," said Ron Nielson, Vice President, Healthcare, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "For Ricoh this means protecting patients' private information and helping to ensure that our customers have security safeguards in place to meet HIPAA and HITECH regulations. With our Asset Lifecycle Management for Healthcare, hospitals are now equipped with enterprise-wide, constantly updated information about their hardware and software assets to make quick and accurate decisions to keep their technology in good health."

Hospitals are challenged with improving efficiencies and reducing costs while striving to comply with federal mandates associated with HIPAA compliance and meaningful use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs). The ability to seamlessly capture, transform and manage patient and business data across departments with secure IT ecosystems can improve care coordination and clinical processes, driving business efficiencies, profitability and meaningful use. In fact, a recent IDC study commissioned by Ricoh showed that capturing, transforming and managing data has a positive impact on hospitals' revenue (66.7%) and profitability (58.6%). Ricoh's Asset Lifecycle Management for Healthcare improves hospitals' information mobility by enabling their IT departments to identify critical asset information and make faster, more informed IT, compliance and print-related decisions.

Ricoh's Asset Lifecycle Management for Healthcare benefits hospitals with new capabilities, including:

    --  Software toolset and agentless asset scanning that identifies and
        reports on hardware and software issues on a hospital's network,
        reducing time required to manually track and confirm information and
        improving transparency for decision-makers.
    --  A dedicated "concierge team" of experts who deliver the expertise,
        services and support for the term of the service as an extension of the
        provider's team, through regular systematic analyzed reporting,  on
        demand reporting and automated monitoring and alerts that allow
        providers to adapt to challenges, as they arise, and ongoing needs.
    --  A systematic, enterprise-wide assessment process that collects and
        analyzes information about print assets and service, IT inventories,
        configurations and operations and vulnerabilities in a Windows fleet to
        help reduce system downtime that could potentially impact patients'
        quality of care.
    --  A comprehensive, three-pillar approach comprising IT, compliance and
        print information to help ensure nothing in these key areas falls
        through the cracks.
    --  Streamlined and automated reporting on software titles to help ensure
        only software that is needed and being used is ordered or gets a license
        extension, which can help reduce compliance risk and overall IT spending
        for the hospital.
    --  Reporting on and management of print devices and analysis of print
        costs, usage and uptime trends to help optimize print processes and
        reduce costs.
    --  Automatic capture of network asset information to reduce manual tasks.
Ricoh Asset Lifecycle Management for Healthcare will be on display in the Ricoh booth (#7599) at HIMSS 2016. Ricoh will showcase technologies that address challenges hospitals face in creating a secure, compliant environment that enables connected care while remaining administratively efficient.

YodelUP - World's first on-glove wearable for communication and music launches on Kickstarter

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Introducing YodelUP - a revolutionary wearable device for skiers and snowboarders to control music and instantly talk to a group of friends just like a walkie-talkie. Forget calling, texting, using Apps (WhatsApp, Snapchat, Periscope) or whatever you currently do to communicate on the slopes; YodelUP harnesses push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) technology to bring you the next-big-thing in mountain communication!

Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160223/336647

Communicate live on the mountain with your group of friends, whether you're on the chairlift, carving down the hill or getting some serious air-time. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a pro, YodelUP takes your experience on the slopes to the next level by keeping friends and family members connected-allowing you to share more moments, have more fun and stay safe.

"No one likes taking their gloves off while skiing or riding. Yet, we all need to call a friend to meet up on the mountain, and those of us who like to rock out to music while riding would want to skip a track or adjust the volume," says Founder Darius Sahebjavaher, "YodelTECH has a solution, and it doesn't require you to give up your favourite gear for pricy helmets and gloves with built-in controls."

YodelTECH has collaborated with Zello, the #1 walkie-talkie App maker with 50+ million downloads, to bring you a streamlined communication experience. Just download the App, add your friends and you're ready for instant walkie-talkie style communication when you press the "YODEL" button. And of course, you can still pick up phone calls just like any hand-free device. "Communication on the slopes has never been easier."

YodelUP on-glove wearable fits over any winter glove, so you can control your phone while still wearing your favourite gear. "YodelUP has extra-large buttons with special tactile features that you can distinctly feel with gloves or mittens on - this enables you to intuitively control your music without having to look at the device," says co-founder Ramin Sahebjavaher. Connect YodelUP to your smartphone via Bluetooth (compatible with iOS and Android) and control your music (play/pause, next/previous track and adjust volume) without ever taking your phone out of your pocket.

Your favorite music and friends, everything you love at your fingertips. Be the first to receive a YodelUP by backing the Kickstarter campaign. More info at http://www.yodelup.com/kickstarter.

IT Organizations and Software Vendors Can Now Expand Their Own Systems' Functionality by Integrating Mobile App Management and Security Using Apperian's Open API

Apperian Extends Open API Platform to Improve Reach of Existing Enterprise Systems and Enhance Deployment Options for Mobile App Developers

BOSTON, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Apperian® Inc., the mobile application management (MAM®) and security company, today announced any combination of its platform's capabilities can now be accessed by, and integrated into, existing IT infrastructure or processes through its comprehensive set of APIs. The Apperian API Platform enables systems, including traditional MDM or EMM systems, corporate portals, custom-built mobile app stores and mobile app ISVs, to extend their own functionality by leveraging Apperian's best-in-class mobile application management and security capabilities.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150218/176449LOGO

"While demand for our full platform continues to grow, there are many enterprise mobility projects pushing the boundaries of their current systems," said Brian Day, President and CEO at Apperian. "By exposing our platform's functionality via APIs, existing systems and enterprise workflows can leverage our unique features to securely deploy and manage mobile apps in enterprise and extended enterprise settings. In a market filled with proprietary and cumbersome approaches that make it difficult to securely reach every targeted user, we wanted to maximize openness so organizations can truly reach the potential that mobility can deliver in work settings."

As the volume and importance of mobile apps being used in the enterprise increases, and the target audiences broaden, many IT systems and first generation enterprise mobility management platforms are struggling to securely deploy apps to 100% of users who need them.

Tony Rizzo, Entrepreneur in Residence at Blue Hill Research, states in the 'Enterprise Mobile App Stores and Mobile Application Management' report,"the Open Platform API provides the necessary means for the Apperian platform to be integrated with other existing enterprise IT systems and applications as well as with major third-party ISVs." Further, "the three companies that we spoke with [for the writing of the report] all view this as a key value proposition for the use of Apperian - it significantly streamlines the overall deployment process, provides great flexibility in evaluating the effectiveness and updating of all mobile policies, markedly speeds up time to highly secure deployment, and above all, considerably reduces overall costs."

Integrating with the Apperian API Platform exposes functionality covering the complete mobile app lifecycle, including capabilities such as app onboarding, app inspection, security and management policies, app signing, app distribution, private-branded enterprise app stores and app analytics to:

    --  Improve the reach and security of traditional enterprise mobility
        management products - Traditional EMM products require that devices be
        placed under management with MDM profiles in order to distribute
        policy-enabled apps. By integrating with Apperian, traditional EMM
        products and mobility management teams can now distribute policy-enabled
        apps without requiring device control, enabling organizations to
        overcome limitations and reach 100% of target users.
    --  Provide greater flexibility for mobile application developers - Both
        in-house and contracted app developers can publish new or modified apps
        directly into the Apperian platform via APIs. This reduces manual steps,
        minimizes the risk of distributing incorrect versions of apps and
        facilitates the management of app signing credentials. It also enables
        developers to easily apply a comprehensive library of security and
        management policies. Many leading mobile app development platforms
        already integrate with Apperian, including IBM Worklight, Appcelerator,
        Mobiquity, Xamarin, iFactr, AnyPresence and ViziApps.
    --  Increase effectiveness of enterprise Dev Ops - Enterprise Dev Ops
        professionals and IT mobile administrators can automate the process of
        securing, managing and delivering mobile apps to end users with a
        variety of policies accessed through Apperian's API and direct
        integration with continuous automation build servers, such as Jenkins,
        eliminating many manual tasks associated with traditional mobility
        management tools.
Apperian APIs are offered as part of the Apperian MAM® Platform and are open to use by all current customers and partners. To learn more about how to integrate Apperian's advanced capabilities with existing systems, workflows and apps, please visit: https://www.apperian.com/product/apperian-api/

About Apperian
Apperian is the leading enterprise-class mobile application management (MAM®) and security platform for the delivery of critical apps to 100% of users across an organization. Apperian provides fine-grained security and dynamic policy controls at the individual app level for deployments where mobile device management approaches are not possible or desired, such as BYOD, contract workers and other unmanaged devices.

Apperian's easy to use interface offers a private, branded consumer-like enterprise app store that greatly increases mobile app adoption and a comprehensive app management back-end for administrators to easily protect and manage their business apps and data. The company has helped IT and line of business professionals secure and deliver more than 2 million enterprise apps to organizations such as Maxim Integrated Products, NVIDIA, Nationwide, New Balance, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Apperian is headquartered in Boston with teams throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. For more information please visit http://bit.ly/ApperianLearnMore or follow the company on Twitter at @Apperian and LinkedIn at Apperian, Inc.

TCL Communication and KnowRoaming Announce the Smart Roaming Solution

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TCL Communication and KnowRoaming are announcing the development of the "Smart Roaming" Soft SIM solution, allowing users to benefit from a handset-integrated, low-cost roaming solution while traveling abroad.

Thanks to KnowRoaming's entirely virtualized SIM technology, users' smartphones can automatically connect to data services when in foreign countries. Users can access KnowRoaming's low rates and be in total control of their expenses through the app. In the future, this technology will be natively integrated into select TCL Communication's handsets starting with the Chinese market, before launching in other global markets where the company's mobility division operates under the ALCATEL brand.

"We are very enthusiastic to enter into the commercial phase of our partnership with KnowRoaming on the Smart Roaming solution. We believe this is both an opportunity for TCL Communication to further develop its Internet and Service positioning and revenues and for KnowRoaming to scale its business on our worldwide customer base. It is a perfect example of a win-win partnership with a startup enabled by our startup acceleration program," said Francois Chambon, TCL Communication's Innovation Labs Director.

Thanks to KnowRoaming's technology, end users can seamlessly access low-cost roaming when traveling with smartphones made by TCL Communication. For global travelers this means no more chasing Wi-Fi networks, buying expensive carrier packages, or swapping SIM cards.

This successful collaboration was made possible thanks to TCL Communication's startup acceleration program in North America, the ALCATEL Innovation Accelerator. KnowRoaming was selected for this program in March 2015, and has been working with TCL Communication's teams on a final product offering since. This program, also launched in Europe, aims to transform business opportunities into valuable partnerships between innovative startups and the TCL Communication.

"We're excited to partner with TCL Communication, a dynamic, innovative industry leader," said Gregory Gundelfinger, KnowRoaming CEO. "With the integration of our Soft SIM Platform - right into the handset--users can stay connected while they travel in a way they never could before. This is the future of global roaming."

Both KnowRoaming and TCL Communication are exhibitors at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where their latest products and innovations, including this one, will be showcased. TCL Communication's acceleration program and its European startups will be represented at the same time at the 4YFN (4 year from now) startup event, also organized by the GSMA.

Just download the App, add your friends and you're ready for instant walkie-talkie style communication when you press the "YODEL" button. And of course, you can still pick up phone calls just like any hand-free device. "Communication on the slopes has never been easier."

YodelUP on-glove wearable fits over any winter glove, so you can control your phone while still wearing your favourite gear. "YodelUP has extra-large buttons with special tactile features that you can distinctly feel with gloves or mittens on - this enables you to intuitively control your music without having to look at the device," says co-founder Ramin Sahebjavaher. Connect YodelUP to your smartphone via Bluetooth (compatible with iOS and Android) and control your music (play/pause, next/previous track and adjust volume) without ever taking your phone out of your pocket.

Your favorite music and friends, everything you love at your fingertips. Be the first to receive a YodelUP by backing the Kickstarter campaign. More info at http://www.yodelup.com/kickstarter.

The VIZIO D-Series collection gives consumers brilliant picture quality thanks to Full-Array LED backlighting technology on most models, allowing for advanced control of LEDs resulting in  superior light uniformity and picture performance as compared to edge-lit TVs.  Up to 16 Active LED Zones dynamically adjust to match the light and dark portions of on-screen content, culminating in deeper black levels and added contrast. Clear Action(TM) 240 offers enhanced motion clarity with 120Hz effective refresh rate achieved with backlight scanning, and powerful image processing so sports and fast-action scenes are seen with stunningly sharp detail.

German and European market. These platforms have already become a huge success in North
America and now represent a multi-billion dollar market, where over 56 million people play
fantasy sports games such as American football or basketball, spending an average of
USD 465 per year according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association - an enormous market
worth around USD 26 billion a year that is still growing rapidly. This successful type of
online gaming is still virtually unknown in Germany and Europe. Stryking Entertainment
aims to change this and become the trend-setter and market leader for fantasy sports in
Germany. In order to accomplish this, the company will soon launch a completely new
fantasy football platform, making this fascinating skill game appealing to the mass market
in Germany for the very first time.  

    Every German is a football expert. Ever since winning the World Cup, Germany has
become a nation of millions of football coaches who know exactly what blunders their
favourite teams' managers have made. Stryking has set its sights on precisely this target
group with the new fantasy football game Bundesliga-Stars.com, which has been live since
the beginning of the year, providing a real Bundesliga feeling with authentic players and
club logos thanks to an official German Football League (DFL) licence. Each player is
given a virtual budget to assemble the best possible team. Each week their team's results
are matched with the actual players' game results and Bundesliga statistics. Players
receive points for this and they can compete with their friends or compare their league
table positions or overall rankings. This requires skill, experience and great knowledge
of football.

    The next few months will see the continual development of the game into a so-called
'Daily Fantasy Platform', where players participate in special challenges every matchday
to win prizes, no longer needing to compete throughout the entire season in order to have
any chance of lifting the trophy. This is precisely the model that has become extremely
successful in the US, seeing massive growth in recent years. With Gameplay Media's
participation, the platform is to be developed into a 'Daily Fantasy Sports' platform.

    Engaged in the field for years as a pioneer in the digital economy and as one of the
market-leading media agencies for gaming in Germany, Gameplay Media quickly recognised the
enormous potential of these online games. The company headed up by CEO and industry giant
Jochen Martinez is investing not only a six-figure sum but also its valuable know-how into
the development of Stryking Entertainment's fantasy sports platform. They plan to support
the company with online and mobile marketing, and with the acquisition of new investors
and users, amongst other things. 'Fantasy sports will be the next big thing in Europe. As
a pioneer of the digital world, the US has started a trend which will very soon splash
over to Europe and Germany. In Stryking we have found the perfect partner to help shape
the future market', says the pleased founder and current CEO of Gameplay Media, Jochen
Martinez. The industry expert has worked in the gaming industry since 1998 and has held
positions at Universal, Atari and Greentube.

    Stryking CEO Dirk Weyel, himself no stranger to the industry, having successfully
founded and sold the online games provider Frogster Interactive, is convinced: "This
gaming concept is very exciting for the huge community of football fans in Germany, so
we're expecting massive growth and are already working on developing this concept further
for the international market."

Toppan Printing develops next-generation EUV photomask for leading-edge semiconductors

TOKYO, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. (Toppan), the world's premier photomask manufacturer, announced today that it has developed a next-generation EUV photomask for leading-edge semiconductors.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160224/336760LOGO

The new photomask minimizes the unwanted reflection of light to peripheral sections during EUV exposure, a next-generation semiconductor manufacturing technology. Testing using EUV exposure machinery manufactured by ASML has verified that this new EUV photomask can reduce dimension variability on silicon substrates by two-thirds. As a result, it enables improvements in quality and yield for semiconductor patterns. Practical application of the technology will enable further miniaturization of semiconductors and the manufacture of processors that are smaller, faster, and require less power than current models.   

This development marks the first time anywhere in the world that a structure to suppress the unwanted reflection of light to peripheral sections has been created on the surface of an EUV photomask, and the areas around the pattern have been miniaturized. Toppan developed the conventional EUV photomask that has become the industry standard in 2012 and has successfully developed the new next-generation mask based on further miniaturization. Through ongoing R&D activities, Toppan intends to continue contributing to the evolution of semiconductor manufacturing technology.

Sample shipments to semiconductor manufacturers will begin in fiscal 2016, with the start of full-scale mass production slated for fiscal 2017. Based on this technology, Toppan is aiming to establish the industry standard for next-generation EUV photomasks.

A presentation on the new technology will be made at the SPIE Advanced Lithography 2016 international conference, held at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California, U.S.A. from February 22 to 25, 2016. More details can be found on the website http://www.photomask.com/news.

About Toppan Printing's Photomask Business 
Toppan Printing is the world's premier photomask manufacturer. The company supports the global semiconductor industry, from the initial launch of the semiconductor manufacturing process through commercial production, by providing state-of-the-art photomask technology. Toppan is the only global photomask manufacturer providing the highest quality products in a timely manner to customers across Japan, the United States, Europe and Asia.

Huawei Unveils Safe City Solution Experience Center at 2016 Mobile World Congress

Leading New ICT, Making Cities Safer

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Together with its industry partners, Huawei unveiled its Safe City Solution Experience Center at Mobile World Congress 2016, held in Barcelona, Spain, from February 22 to 25. Under the theme "Leading New ICT, Making Cities Safer", the experience center showcases leading new Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), including the Internet of Things (IoT), Mobile Broadband, Video and Big Data, which are reshaping traditional urban safety management. The center also includes Safe City Solutions that enable cities to build multidimensional and intelligent security systems featuring awareness, visualization, and collaboration, helping governments improve crisis prevention and emergency handling capabilities while reducing crime rates.

Leading New ICT Enables Visualized and Collaborative Safe City Solution

With the increased frequency of serious public safety incidents, building a safe city has become a priority for city administrators. Safe city development has shifted from an incubation period focused on video surveillance deployment to a rapid growth stage embracing comprehensive public safety management. To help cities become safer, Huawei launched an agile and innovative Safe City Solution leveraging new ICT to enable "visualization" and "collaboration", two elements that Huawei believes will be critical to building safe cities.

At MWC 2016, Huawei partnered with Hexagon to demonstrate the industry's first Visualized Converged Command Solution. Huawei's command solution supports the visualization of accident scenes and emergency handling resources (e.g. police force and emergency supplies) to allow unified commands based on a geographical information system (GIS) map. In addition, the solution enables collaborative management across different departments through cross-terminal seamless interconnection of video, audio, and data. To better support the solution, Huawei also provides an industry-leading cross-regional, multi-level video sharing cloud platform. Leveraging distributed cache technology, the platform is capable of responding to vital evidence discovered in seconds and supporting up to ten thousand users watching videos simultaneously.

The broadband trunking system is another key component of building a Safe City. Huawei eLTE Broadband Trunking Solution adopts one single eLTE network with a base station which supports up to 27-channel video uploads and distribution to enable professional trunking and real-time video dispatching. The solution also allows mobile incident management on multiple platforms anytime and anywhere.

Huawei Safe City Solutions have been widely deployed across the globe. For example, Huawei helped Kenya improve public safety by establishing safe city systems consisting of a Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, broadband trunking eLTE, video surveillance, and intelligent analysis (license plate recognition and traffic violation detection). According to Kenya's annual police report, the crime rate in the regions covered by the system declined by 46 percent in 2015 compared to the previous year. In particular, the solution played a vital role in ensuring the safety of Pope Francis during his visit to Kenya on November 26, 2015.

Industry Cooperation to Build Open and Win-Win Safe City Ecosystem

Huawei is committed to working with leading industry partners to build an open, win-win Safe City ecosystem. As a one-stop ICT infrastructure provider, Huawei partnered with Hexagon, a global leader in Safe City application software with a leading global market share of Intergraph and CAD systems, to provide users with a comprehensive Safe City Solution.

The Safe City ecosystem is being driven by Huawei and a wide range of partners, including consulting firms (BGS and Accenture), system integrators (Safaricom, Tyco, and NCS), and software vendors (Hexagon, Milestone, SAP, iOmniscient, Promad, and AgentVi). To date, Huawei Safe City Solutions have served more than 400 million people in over 100 cities across over 30 countries.

Truphone Announces Truphone FastSIM™ & IoT/M2M Platform

Truphone launches M2M cloud based management platform to enable its FastSIM for IoT

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Truphone today announces its Truphone FastSIM™ and Internet of Things Connectivity Management Platform.

Truphone's patented fast-switching SIM allows a phone or machine to rapidly respond in cross-country mobility scenarios or localize quickly when it is switched on in a new country. The Truphone FastSIM operates with a cloud based management service, enabling an "install once, deploy anywhere" approach.

Powermat's mobile engagement platform designed to drive repeat business

Businesses use market-leading wireless charging technology to engage customers across multiple touch points

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Powermat Technologies today announced its market-leading wireless charging platform can help businesses of all sizes improve customer engagement and increase sales by providing them with the personalized marketing tools necessary to drive repeat business.  Cloud connected charging spots make Powermat truly unique in the industry, as it's currently the only wireless charging platform on the market to offer businesses the opportunity to engage with customers across multiple touch points--before they're in the store, while they're in it, and after.

"Customers have deep connections with their phones, and an expectation of instant communication or immediate access to information has created a real fear of running out of battery," said Thorsten Heins, Chief Executive Officer of Powermat Technologies. "Powermat's mobile engagement solution alleviates this fear by offering a phone charging service that not only provides customers with power, but also provides businesses with the ability to attract, engage and service customers in a much more meaningful way."

Helping businesses become optimized for mobile, Powermat's engagement platform is a marketing tool through which businesses can send customized offers, tailored content and special rewards to customers in order to generate repeat business and increased revenue. Best of all, brick-and-mortar businesses can better understand their customers.

Once customers download the Powermat Mobile App, required to enable charging at participating  Powermat locations, businesses can use customizable, geo-targeted push-notifications to send information to a customer on-site, or to share offers and content when a customer is nearby. When customers lay their smartphone on a Powermat Charging Spot, businesses can then send them contextual messages such as special offers, surveys and in-store deals that help generate customer loyalty and even drive a second purchase.  Finally, businesses can bring customers back in store by running gratitude campaigns that, through push notifications, entice customers with loyalty points, rewards and other exciting promotions.   

Since Powermat's mobile engagement platform is built on a cloud infrastructure with portals for each client, venues can also easily customize offers to match their customers' specific needs. Businesses have the tools to analyze users of the service and marketing metrics. Additionally, venues can build campaign calendars and time their campaigns to a specific time of day and/or location, depending on peak periods at their store and/or the type of customer they're trying to attract.

"E-commerce retailers have a rich knowledge of consumer preferences and buying habits due to the digital nature of their business, but traditional brick and mortar operators need and want help catching up," said Carlo Chiarello, Chief Product Officer of Powermat Technologies. "Our engagement platform gives businesses the customizable marketing tools they need to learn more about their customers and serve them better."

Powermat technology helps businesses drive reoccurring revenue, and generate a solid return on investment on any wireless charging installation. In a recent online consumer survey conducted by Powermat, 4 out of 5 respondents said they'd frequent a venue with wireless charging at least once more per week. In addition, 86 percent said they'd spend more time at a store, and 56 percent said they'd spend more money while there.

As pioneers in the wireless charging industry, Powermat has attained a great deal of mass market installation experience over the past decade. Whether a business owner is opening a new location or retrofitting a store, Powermat has created a scalable process that's seamless, and extremely efficient with almost no impact on daily operations.

About Powermat Technologies
Our vision is to help create a world where people never again need worry about running out of power. By equipping venues with a wireless charging infrastructure, Powermat's platform allows businesses to increase relevant engagement with customers sending contextual information, alerts, offers and promotions through the Powermat app before, during and after on-site consumer interactions.

OSSIC 3D Audio Surpasses Kickstarter Goal For Headphone Launch, Raising Over $100K In Less Than 3 Hours

LA JOLLA, Calif., Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier today, San Diego based OSSIC Corporation launched the OSSIC X 3D Audio Headphones on Kickstarter to an astounding reception, raising just over $100K in the first few hours of launch. The project is on track to break $350,000 before the end of the day.

The OSSIC X is the world's first 3D audio headphone that instantly calibrates to the listener, increasing the sense of auditory space, and acoustically recreating the way the everyday world is heard. By pairing advanced 3D audio algorithms with head-tracking and individual anatomy calibration, OSSIC X headphones deliver incredibly accurate 3D sound.

With traditional headphone technology, the listeners' anatomy (HRTF) is not taken into account. This makes for an incredibly small listening experience, where sound remains close to the head rather than all around. OSSIC X solves this by calibrating to the individual's anatomy, therefore enabling personalized audio playback that sounds just as it does in real life.

Early supporters of the OSSIC Kickstarter can expect to receive discounts between 30%-40% off the expected retail price of $399, as well as be some of the first to get their hands on the headphones when they are released later in the year.

With the Kickstarter launch, OSSIC introduced a partnership with industry-leaders, THX Ltd. The companies will work together to ensure that the OSSIC X headphones will meet the highest standard for audio reproduction. "We're looking forward to working with OSSIC to certify their revolutionary new headphones," said THX CEO, Ty Ahmad-Taylor. "We believe that these headphones will provide the most immersive experience in the gaming and VR space. We can't wait."

With the partnership, OSSIC and THX are poised to bring the most amazing sound experiences to listeners across a variety of both current and emerging audio platforms. "THX has such an amazing audio legacy," said OSSIC CEO, Jason Riggs. "We're excited to work together to build the future of immersive audio."

About OSSIC:

OSSIC was formed in August 2014 with a mission to develop innovative 3D audio technologies that recreate the way we hear sound everyday. Their initial product, the OSSIC X headphones, use individual anatomy calibration to create the next level of accuracy and immersion with 3D Audio. The OSSIC X launched on Kickstarter on February 23, 2016 and raised over $100,000 in 2.5 hours.

LG Expands Enterprise Capabilities With New LG G5 Modular Smartphone

First LG Device to Support 'Android for Work' Also Brings Suite of Enterprise Mobility Applications to Today's Mobile Workforce

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of unveiling the LG G5 at Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona, LG Electronics today announced an enterprise offering of its newest flagship smartphone. Continuing its leadership in enterprise security in the corporate workplace, LG G5 will be ready out-of-the-box not only with its standard LG Gate but now adding Android for Work - the first LG device to do so - allowing corporate IT decision-makers and enterprise mobility managers the ability to control and protect data for the mobile workforce better than before.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160223/336496

Android for Work balances IT's need for security with a personal users need for convenience and simplicity. Support for Android for Work has been added to LG G5 affording users the ability to segregate work apps from personal apps and secure them in a separate container. Furthermore, the Android Play Store for Work also features business specific applications putting Android's power and flexibility to work on the go with best-in-class productivity.

Encased in a sleek, aluminum uni-body design and Slide-out Battery to easily swap out a depleted battery for a fully charged one in seconds, the LG G5 surpasses its predecessor. Designed with the 3D Arc Glass featured in the smartphone's 5.3-inch display creates a gentle curve and a smooth colorful metal surface through an advanced microdizing process which takes anodized aluminum to a whole new level. Furthermore, the insulated antenna is invisibly integrated into the body without disrupting the seamless look of the aluminum uni-body. LG designers took the metal body concept one step further by adding a Shiny Cut edge for added contrast and better "hand-feel".

Always On Display forEnhanced Convenience
The 5.3-inch Quad HD IPS Quantum display on the LG G5 offers an Always On feature, the first on a main smartphone display. The concept of the Always On Display was first introduced in the LG V10 as the Second Screen and now that feature has evolved on to the main display to show the time, date and battery status continuously even when the G5 is in sleep mode. This means that you can always see the time at a glance, even during important meetings or when your hands are full.

To minimize power consumption, LG redesigned the display driver IC memory and power management function so that the display's backlight only illuminates one small part of the overall display. Thanks to this technology, the Always On Display requires only 0.8 percent of the battery's full capacity per hour to operate. With consumers turning on their smartphones up to 150 times a day mostly to just check the time, the G5's Always On Display will make a notable difference in the life of the battery over the course of the day.

Another advanced display feature in the LG G5 is Daylight Mode, which gives the G5 exceptional outdoor visibility beyond that of current auto brightness technology. Daylight Mode detects surrounding light conditions and instantaneously increases or decreases the brightness of the display, up to 850 nits. Even before your eyes have adjusted to the different lighting conditions, the G5 will be ready.

Improved Security Features
LG G5 comes equipped with a fingerprint sensor that confirms a user's identity, ensuring that business content remains secure and private. LG G5 supports LG GATE for Enhanced Enterprise Security Features and Manageability Functions including:

    --  Enhanced Exchange Active Sync (EAS): enforces simple security polices
        and secure corporate data to provide wireless email and PIM sync.
    --  FIP 140-2 Validated: Government-grade security module for enhanced
        protection for government accounts that require the highest-level of
        security.
    --  Multi-Headed VPN Client Software: allows employees to remotely access
        corporate VPNs securely while on the go.
    --  Expanded Mobile Device Management Support: Affords corporate IT managers
        and decision-makers the ability to control and protect data and
        configuration settings for LG devices with major MDM vendors such as
        Mobile Iron, SOTI, SAP, AirWatch and Fiberlink.
    --  Pending Government Certifications include: DISA STIG; NIAP MDF PP v2.0;
        CSfC.
More Performance, More Efficiency
The LG G5 offers many other innovations designed to revolutionize today's mobile work force, such as:

Qualcomm(®) Snapdragon(TM) 820 Processor
The LG G5 is equipped with the powerful yet energy-efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor that offers advanced features such as 64-bit performance, Adreno 530 graphics and lower-power Hexagon DSP as well as Qualcomm Spectra(TM) 14-bit dual image signal processors (ISPs) designed to deliver high resolution DSLR-quality images and additional power savings. The Snapdragon 820 processor also has an integrated X12 LTE modem that supports Category 12 download speeds of up to 600 Mbps and LTE Category 13 uplink speeds of up to 150 Mbps.

Qualcomm(®) Quick Charge(TM) 3.0
The LG G5 offers Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 for incredibly fast charging. By employing an intelligent algorithm, Quick Charge 3.0 is 27 percent faster and 45 percent more efficient than the previous generation.

Low Power Location Estimation (LPLE) Technology
The LG G5 has excellent battery life, thanks to the Low Power Location Estimation technology. This solution enhances the battery efficiency by as much as 41.9 percent by improving the power consumption related to location-based apps.
