A Joint Study of SunPartner Technologies with Vector Watch Shows Technology that Would Greatly Extend the Current 30-day Battery Life of Vector's Smart Watches
AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France and SHENZEN, China, February 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
At Mobile World Congress 2016, Vector Watch, the smart watch which revolutionized the
wearable industry with its 30-days battery life, and SunPartner Technologies, creator of
Wysips(R) invisible solar power for connected devices, announce the conclusion of a joint
study that would greatly extend the battery life of Vector's smart watches.

The study showed by integrating Wysips(R) Reflect, a transparent photovoltaic module,
into the screens of Vector's Smart Watches, would lead to a battery life to unprecedented
performance in the smart watch market, with no impact on Vector's design.

Vector, the London-based company made headlines with its smart watches that offer
30-days battery life on a single charge without compromising design or features. This
patented technology is a significant competitive advantage in the wearable sector.
Wysips(R) Reflect, seamlessly integrated in the watch dial, uses the most appropriate
photovoltaic materials to produce electricity by harnessing ambient light (natural or
artificial). The energy is then stored in a rechargeable battery. It substantially extends
the battery life of Vector's Smart Watch and independently powers watch features with zero
impact on the design.
KEY POINTS: Â
Wysips(R)Reflect
Wysips(R) Reflect is unique because its design is adaptable: it comes in multiple forms
and can be laminated on a variety of surfaces (reflective screens, watch casings and watch
dials). It is optimized depending on the object and the client's needs. Ultra-thin (less
than or equal to 0.5 mm), transparent (up to 85%, preserving visual and functional
qualities), adaptable to screens and surfaces up to 6 inches and powerful (up to 3
milliwatts peak per cm2), Wysips(R) Reflect enables smart watches to preserve their
aesthetic identity and have a battery life approaching that of traditional watches.
Vector Watch Â
Available in two collections, the flagship round Luna design and Meridian with a
rectangular case, the Vector watch collection has all the characteristics of fine
watchmaking: battery life with refinement and technology. These smartwatches, which are
compatible with Android, iOS and Windows phones, works with all notifications, monitors
physical activity (number of steps, calories, sleep), are water resistant (to 50 meters)
and have an always-on, monochrome screen that displays the time without pressing a button.
New updates include Music, Evernote and Nest apps, doubled by streams for Facebook and
Twitter. The new app launch and social stream development coincides with Vector's
progression towards creating an open community for third party app developers using the
Vector SDK and API.

AT&T Unpacks First Galaxy S Devices with Integrated DIRECTV App, Latest Smartwatch with NumberSync
DALLAS, Feb. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- We're taking two of the most anticipated phones of the year and making them even better for DIRECTV subscribers. We are expanding our industry leading selection of Samsung devices with the addition of the Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, and Gear S2 classic. Each of these products will give you the most complete mobile video experience in the market.
The latest devices from Samsung deliver a high quality camera, refined design, water resistance, enhanced performance, and connectivity to a wide range of experiences. All 3 devices will be available for pre-order at http://www.att.com and in AT&T retail stores starting Feb. 23. The Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, and Gear S2 classic will be available in stores starting on Mar. 11.
DIRECTV Integration
The Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, and Gear S2 classic are the first devices from AT&T to offer a new, more integrated DIRECTV experience. As a DIRECTV subscriber, you can watch live TV and your favorite movies with the DIRECTV app on your smartphone(1). With new features like Quick Remote, your phone and smartwatch act as a remote control when you're watching TV at home. You can pause, rewind, and fast forward a show or movie with just a tap of your finger. Using the DIRECTV app is even easier with Samsung's S-Voice which lets you launch the service by speaking into your Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, or Gear S2 classic.
Pricing
Pricing for the 32GB version of Galaxy S7 starts at $23.17 per month for well qualified customers on AT&T Next 24(2), while the Galaxy S7 edge with 32GB starts at $26.50 per month for well qualified customers on AT&T Next 24. Both phones will be available in Black Onyx and Gold Platinum. The Galaxy S7 edge will also be available in Silver Titanium.
The Gear S2 classic is available for $17.50 on an AT&T Installment Plan(3), and is available with a black leather wristband and stainless steel watch face.
Features
The Gear S2 classic comes with NumberSync(SM) out of the box. NumberSync lets you send and receive texts, as well as make and receive calls, from your smartwatch using the same mobile number as your smartphone.(4) With NumberSync your friends, family and colleagues only need to know your mobile phone number.
The Galaxy S7 has a 5.1 inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display encased in a premium metal and glass body. The Galaxy S7 edge's screen measures 5.5 inches with the curved display expanding on to the left and right edges of the phone. The larger edge panel on Galaxy S7 edge gives you more space for apps. The new Task Edge screen offers one-tap access to applications, functions, and news. Both devices are dust and water resistant, so they can withstand some of the mishaps that comes with your busy schedule.(5)
Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge feature a 12 megapixel dual-pixel rear-facing camera. The first camera of its kind on a Samsung smartphone, this makes it easy to capture pictures and video when you're somewhere with low lighting.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 features a 3000mAh battery, while the Galaxy S7 edge comes with a 3600 mAh battery to help power(6) you through the day.(7) Both versions of the Galaxy S7 come with embedded wireless charging technology compatible with virtually all wireless charging pads (charging pads sold separately).

LG Debuts The G5, Its First Ever Modular Smartphone

LG Debuts The G5, Its First Ever Modular Smartphone
LG's Reveals Newest Idea at Mobile World Congress 2016 Complete With Friends
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) today unveiled its highly anticipated LG G5 smartphone, a brand new design with not only a sleek, metal uni-body featuring a Slide-out Battery but a Modular Type design that gives a greater smartphone experience. Complete with LG Friends, a collection of companion devices, the G5 can be transformed into a digital camera, Hi-Fi player and more.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160220/335499
With its a sleek, aluminum body and a Slide-out Battery that lets you easily swap out a depleted battery for a fully charged one in seconds, the LG G5 surpasses the visual experience of its predecessor, the LG G4.
First, the G5's 135-degree wide angle lens lets you choose between standard or wide angle lens to get more in the shot. Second, the Always-on Display makes notifications just a glance away with the time, date and more available anytime without waking the G5. Third, 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.
And the G5's insulative antenna is invisibly integrated into the body without disrupting the seamless look of the metal uni-body. LG designers took the metal body concept one step further by adding a Shiny Cut edge for added contrast and a more comfortable grip.
LG's First Modular Type Smartphone
LG's innovative Modular Type design gives the LG G5 the ability to transform into a digital camera, Hi-Fi player and more all while keeping its traditional removable battery in a full metal uni-body design for the first time ever.
LG CAM Plus
The LG CAM Plus is a versatile camera module that can be attached through the battery slot to deliver a comfortable grip and convenient control of a standalone camera. The LG CAM Plus provides physical buttons for power, shutter, record, zoom, LED indicator and comfortable grip. It also offers intuitive auto focus and exposure lock, features usually found on standalone digital cameras. When attached to the LG G5, it provides an additional battery capacity of 1,200mAh to allow for longer shooting times for more fun and enjoyment.
LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY
The LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY is an innovative portable Hi-Fi DAC audio player developed in collaboration with B&O PLAY to meet the needs of those who seek to enjoy top-notch sounds that have traditionally only been available through high-end audio devices. LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY stands out for its simple yet elegant Scandinavian design as well as premium sound technology. In addition to the 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC upsampling technology first introduced on the LG V10, LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY also supports 32-bit 384KHz high-definition audio playback. LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY can be used either as a module with the LG G5 or as a separate Hi-Fi DAC by connecting to any smartphone or PC.
Extreme Wide Angle Lens and Advanced UX
Reflecting LG's longstanding reputation as a leader in smartphone cameras, the LG G5 has two cameras on the rear: one with a standard 78-degree lens and another with a 135-degree wide angle lens, the widest available in any smartphone. The 135-degree lens on the LG G5 offers a viewing angle that is approximately 1.7 times wider than those of existing smartphone cameras and 15 degrees wider than the human eye's field of view. The wide angle lens makes it easier for users to capture more landscape, taller buildings or larger groups without having to position oneself further from the subject.
The LG G5 features a collection of powerful photo effects including Pop-out Picture, Film Effect and Auto Shot. Pop-out Picture combines images taken by the standard and wide angle lens to create a picture-in-a-frame effect. Film Effect can apply nine different film emulators to an image while Auto Shot is an enhanced camera UX which automatically captures the perfect selfie shot when a face is recognized.
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 onto the main display to show the time and date 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.
Diverse Range of Companion Devices
With the G5, LG is introducing a paradigm-shifting smartphone ecosystem -- the LG Playground. With this, LG aims to strengthen the ties with its partners and introduce various devices and supporting programs to fully maximize the LG Playground.
As part of the ecosystem, LG is introducing a wide range of companion devices, aptly called LG Friends, to deliver fun while providing a new mobile experience far beyond traditional smartphone boundaries.
LG 360 VR
The LG 360 VR is a VR goggle that can be connected with the G5 via a dedicated cable and works exclusively with the G5 to simulate a 130-inch TV viewed from two meters away. It has a stylish design that is foldable so that users can easily carry and watch VR content anytime, anywhere. Unlike other VR devices that require a smartphone to be inserted into the device, the LG 360 VR weighs only 118g (4.16 ounces) and is just one-third as heavy as competing VR goggles while delivering a resolution of 639 ppi. The device is compatible with 360-degree images and videos captured with LG 360 CAM as well as all Google Cardboard content.
LG 360 CAM
The LG 360 CAM is a compact 360-degree angle camera equipped with two 13MP 200-degree wide angle cameras, 1,200mAh battery and 4GB internal memory, which can be supplemented by a microSD card. The LG 360 CAM can be easily connected to the LG G5 allowing users to create 360-degree content. The LG 360 CAM provides 2K video and 5.1 surround channel recording on three microphones to help users effortlessly create high-quality 360-degree contents. Thanks to the partnership with Google, images taken with the 360 CAM can be uploaded to Google Street View and YouTube360, adding the fun of sharing creative contents with others. The images will also be available to view on the LG 360 VR or other smartphones and devices that are capable of 360-degree content.
LG Rolling Bot
The LG Rolling Bot is a companion device that rolls like a ball while capturing images and videos with its embedded 8MP camera. Not just a toy, the LG Rolling Bot can be used as a monitoring system for the home, a pet care companion as well as a remote controller for compatible home appliances. With an IP camera connectable via Wi-Fi, users can remotely monitor the interior of their homes with the LG G5 via live streaming.
LG Tone Platinum(TM
)The LG TONE Platinum(TM) (model HBS-1100), the latest in the LG TONE Series, is a Bluetooth headset that has earned the Harman Kardon(®) Platinum grade for its superior sound quality. With a Balanced Armature design for minimum distortion, LG Tone Platinum(TM) delivers exceptionally sharp and clean sound. What's more, it is the world's first Bluetooth headset equipped with aptX(TM) HDcodec, delivering lossless 24-bit audio for sound that is unrivaled in a wireless device.
H3 by B&O PLAY
H3 by B&O PLAY is a set of high-end earphones that is compatible with the high-quality sound of the LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY. Designed for audiophiles as well as anyone who considers audio performance a top-priority in a smartphone, H3 by B&O PLAY works with all Android smartphones.
LG Smart Controller
The LG Smart Controller allows users to easily control certain drones. With the LG Smart Controller, users can check the video stream from the drone through the LG G5 in real time and control the unmanned aircraft with the LG Smart Controller joystick.
LG Friends Manager
Only available in the LG G5, Friends Manager is the hub application that allows the G5 to connect with LG Friends with minimal fuss and effort. LG Friends Manager automatically detects nearby LG Friends and connects quickly and easily in three simple steps, eliminating much of the hassle of pairing devices.
More Performance, More Efficiency
The LG G5 offers many other innovations designed to revolutionize today's mobile lifestyle, such as:
Qualcomm(®) Snapdragon(TM) 820 Processor
The LG G5 is equipped with the powerful yet energy-efficient Snapdragon 820 processor which offers advanced features such as 64-bit performance, Adreno 530 graphics and lower-power Qualcomm(®) Hexagon(TM) DSP.

The processor is also optimized for VR, generating quality pixels and life-like colors to deliver the ultimate VR experience to G5 users.
aptX(TM) HD: 24-bit Hi-Fi Wireless Audio
The LG G5 is equipped with aptX HD, an enhanced codec that supports 24-bit sound over Bluetooth, delivering rich and clear sound over wireless connections without any loss. When paired with the LG TONE Platinum, users can experience superb quality Hi-Fi audio that sounds amazingly close to the original source.
Qualcomm(®) Quick Charge(TM) 3.0

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.
"The new LG G5 will encourage owners to rediscover the true joy of a mobile life," said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "The G5 and LG Friends are the result of many experts inside LG asking themselves if it was still possible to be innovative and unique in the smartphone space. I think once customers spend a little time with the LG G5, their answer will be a resounding yes."

LG's Reveals Newest Idea at Mobile World Congress 2016 Complete With Friends
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) today unveiled its highly anticipated LG G5 smartphone, a brand new design with not only a sleek, metal uni-body featuring a Slide-out Battery but a Modular Type design that gives a greater smartphone experience. Complete with LG Friends, a collection of companion devices, the G5 can be transformed into a digital camera, Hi-Fi player and more.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160220/335499
With its a sleek, aluminum body and a Slide-out Battery that lets you easily swap out a depleted battery for a fully charged one in seconds, the LG G5 surpasses the visual experience of its predecessor, the LG G4.
First, the G5's 135-degree wide angle lens lets you choose between standard or wide angle lens to get more in the shot. Second, the Always-on Display makes notifications just a glance away with the time, date and more available anytime without waking the G5. Third, 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.
And the G5's insulative antenna is invisibly integrated into the body without disrupting the seamless look of the metal uni-body. LG designers took the metal body concept one step further by adding a Shiny Cut edge for added contrast and a more comfortable grip.
LG's First Modular Type Smartphone
LG's innovative Modular Type design gives the LG G5 the ability to transform into a digital camera, Hi-Fi player and more all while keeping its traditional removable battery in a full metal uni-body design for the first time ever.
LG CAM Plus
The LG CAM Plus is a versatile camera module that can be attached through the battery slot to deliver a comfortable grip and convenient control of a standalone camera. The LG CAM Plus provides physical buttons for power, shutter, record, zoom, LED indicator and comfortable grip. It also offers intuitive auto focus and exposure lock, features usually found on standalone digital cameras. When attached to the LG G5, it provides an additional battery capacity of 1,200mAh to allow for longer shooting times for more fun and enjoyment.
LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY
The LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY is an innovative portable Hi-Fi DAC audio player developed in collaboration with B&O PLAY to meet the needs of those who seek to enjoy top-notch sounds that have traditionally only been available through high-end audio devices. LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY stands out for its simple yet elegant Scandinavian design as well as premium sound technology. In addition to the 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC upsampling technology first introduced on the LG V10, LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY also supports 32-bit 384KHz high-definition audio playback. LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY can be used either as a module with the LG G5 or as a separate Hi-Fi DAC by connecting to any smartphone or PC.
Extreme Wide Angle Lens and Advanced UX
Reflecting LG's longstanding reputation as a leader in smartphone cameras, the LG G5 has two cameras on the rear: one with a standard 78-degree lens and another with a 135-degree wide angle lens, the widest available in any smartphone. The 135-degree lens on the LG G5 offers a viewing angle that is approximately 1.7 times wider than those of existing smartphone cameras and 15 degrees wider than the human eye's field of view. The wide angle lens makes it easier for users to capture more landscape, taller buildings or larger groups without having to position oneself further from the subject.
The LG G5 features a collection of powerful photo effects including Pop-out Picture, Film Effect and Auto Shot. Pop-out Picture combines images taken by the standard and wide angle lens to create a picture-in-a-frame effect. Film Effect can apply nine different film emulators to an image while Auto Shot is an enhanced camera UX which automatically captures the perfect selfie shot when a face is recognized.
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 onto the main display to show the time and date 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.
Diverse Range of Companion Devices
With the G5, LG is introducing a paradigm-shifting smartphone ecosystem -- the LG Playground. With this, LG aims to strengthen the ties with its partners and introduce various devices and supporting programs to fully maximize the LG Playground.
As part of the ecosystem, LG is introducing a wide range of companion devices, aptly called LG Friends, to deliver fun while providing a new mobile experience far beyond traditional smartphone boundaries.

The LG 360 VR is a VR goggle that can be connected with the G5 via a dedicated cable and works exclusively with the G5 to simulate a 130-inch TV viewed from two meters away. It has a stylish design that is foldable so that users can easily carry and watch VR content anytime, anywhere. Unlike other VR devices that require a smartphone to be inserted into the device, the LG 360 VR weighs only 118g (4.16 ounces) and is just one-third as heavy as competing VR goggles while delivering a resolution of 639 ppi. The device is compatible with 360-degree images and videos captured with LG 360 CAM as well as all Google Cardboard content.
LG 360 CAM
The LG 360 CAM is a compact 360-degree angle camera equipped with two 13MP 200-degree wide angle cameras, 1,200mAh battery and 4GB internal memory, which can be supplemented by a microSD card. The LG 360 CAM can be easily connected to the LG G5 allowing users to create 360-degree content. The LG 360 CAM provides 2K video and 5.1 surround channel recording on three microphones to help users effortlessly create high-quality 360-degree contents. Thanks to the partnership with Google, images taken with the 360 CAM can be uploaded to Google Street View and YouTube360, adding the fun of sharing creative contents with others. The images will also be available to view on the LG 360 VR or other smartphones and devices that are capable of 360-degree content.
LG Rolling Bot
The LG Rolling Bot is a companion device that rolls like a ball while capturing images and videos with its embedded 8MP camera. Not just a toy, the LG Rolling Bot can be used as a monitoring system for the home, a pet care companion as well as a remote controller for compatible home appliances.

Using LTE connectivity, T2C offers not only navigation service, but also music and vehicle management/inspection services to enhance driving experience. The company plans to evolve T2C into a device that creates an office environment within a vehicle and supports communication with other vehicles.
5G Enabling Technologies
At MWC 2016, SK Telecom and Nokia will demonstrate 20 Gpbs transmission speed over the air - which meets the performance requirement of 5G set by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) - for the first time in the world. Following its display of a disaster-response robot last year, SK Telecom will showcase diverse use cases over the 5G network.
Also, SK Telecom will demonstrate a 3D hologram image to realize realistic communications, which will become widespread in the 5G era. The company will also unveil the first 5G device prototype that will support communication between vehicles, the core enabler of autonomous vehicles. Moreover, it will demonstrate Virtual Reality (VR) games, which involve transmission of massive amount data - over its 5G network.
SK Telecom plans to lead the upcoming 5G era by working closely with diverse partners across the globe and suggesting how the 5G network will be used as the enabling infrastructure of all future technologies.

Reflecting its strong determination of transforming itself as a platform company based on its unrivalled competitiveness in telecommunications, SK Telecom has set this year's theme as "Dive into the Platform," and will be showcasing a wide variety of innovative technologies and services in the areas of Life Enhancement Platform, Media Platform and IoT Platform, along with industry-leading 5G enabling technologies.
Life Enhancement Platform
SK Telecom is promoting the development of its Life Enhancement Platform to add innovative value to all areas of people's daily lives. The company will introduce products and services, including wearable kids phone 'T Kids Phone,' pet care services namely 'T Pet,' 'Petfit,' 'BallReady,' and 'Friendsbot,' integrated call platform 'T Phone,' and laser pico projector 'UO Smart Beam Laser 2'.
In particular, SK Telecom will unveil the prototype of Smart Beam Laser 2 for the first time at MWC 2016. Applied with advanced laser light source technology, the device provides a brightness of 200 ANSI Lumens, two times brighter than its predecessor and powerful enough to be used both indoors and outdoors. Also, other units like high-quality speaker and external battery can be simply added to the device like blocks.
The company will also display T Phone, and open key APIs/technologies of the platform to enable global mobile carriers and platform companies to create a wide variety of new value-added services based on T Phone.
Media Platform
SK Telecom will showcase a number of solutions that can be applied to many areas of the media from amateur individual broadcasting to professional broadcasting stations.
For instance, '8K UHD Super Encoder,' developed for professional broadcasting facilities, is capable of compressing ultra-high definition video (four times clearer than 4K UHD) within a much shorter period of time and seamlessly transmitting it to IPTV or smartphones. SK Telecom expects the solution to become a core technology for reducing network overload in the near future when 8K UHD TV and UHD mobile devices become available in the market.
Introduced for the first time at this year's MWC, 'Mobile Social Broadcasting Platform' supports live broadcast of UHD video over LTE network. It perfectly supports communication between a producer and a viewer by reducing latency to less than seconds, and provides a feature that allows the producer to deliver advertisement, multimedia content and messages during programs. The company plans to apply it to diverse video platforms within this year.
'Cloud Streaming' is a solution that uses virtualization technologies to allow even legacy/low-end set top boxes to offer advanced user interfaces and services. The solution is drawing interest from Europe and Latin America where the spread of IPTV is taking place at a sluggish pace due to initial investment costs in set top boxes.
IoT Platform
SK Telecom is setting a milestone in the IoT era by exhibiting an end-to-end IoT ecosystem encompassing IoT platform, network and solution.
At MWC 2016, SK Telecom will showcase ThingPlug, an open IoT platform based on international standards. Launched in June, 2015, ThingPlug offers a one-stop development environment as well as diverse application-enabling features for developers.
To date, SK Telecom has developed diverse IoT networks such as Narrow-Band IoT (NB-IoT), which utilizes the existing LTE network, and Low Power Wide Area (LPWA), an exclusive network for IoT. The company will demonstrate a bicycle monitoring service that operates over the LPWA network. As opposed to the existing bicycle monitoring services that use IoT devices attached with 3G modules, thus resulting in high line cost and battery power issues, SK Telecom's service that works over the LPWA network effectively prevents bicycle theft by enabling low-power tracking of bicycle locations. At present, public institutions in Korea that operate a large number of bicycles are showing great interest in this service.
Moreover, SK Telecom will introduce its name IoT services/solutions such as Smart Home and connected car service 'T2C (Tablet to Car)', co-developed with Renault Samsung Motors. The company, which has already launched 25 different Smart Home-compatible home appliances in Korea, will introduce devices optimized for Europe and North America - including wallpad, robot vacuum cleaner, humidifier and air purifier - to promote export of these products.
SK Telecom will introduce its tablet navigator T2C. It serves as a personal tablet when removed from the holder and works as a smart infotainment system when connected to the car. Using LTE connectivity, T2C offers not only navigation service, but also music and vehicle management/inspection services to enhance driving experience. The company plans to evolve T2C into a device that creates an office environment within a vehicle and supports communication with other vehicles.
5G Enabling Technologies
At MWC 2016, SK Telecom and Nokia will demonstrate 20 Gpbs transmission speed over the air - which meets the performance requirement of 5G set by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) - for the first time in the world. Following its display of a disaster-response robot last year, SK Telecom will showcase diverse use cases over the 5G network.
Also, SK Telecom will demonstrate a 3D hologram image to realize realistic communications, which will become widespread in the 5G era. The company will also unveil the first 5G device prototype that will support communication between vehicles, the core enabler of autonomous vehicles. Moreover, it will demonstrate Virtual Reality (VR) games, which involve transmission of massive amount data - over its 5G network.
SK Telecom plans to lead the upcoming 5G era by working closely with diverse partners across the globe and suggesting how the 5G network will be used as the enabling infrastructure of all future technologies.

CENX, Ixia, Mitel, and VMware Champion Mobile Service Assurance for Virtual Evolved Packet Core
Poster: SySAdmin
Posted on February 19, 2016 at 3:14:01 PM
CENX, Ixia, Mitel, and VMware Champion Mobile Service Assurance for Virtual Evolved Packet Core
OTTAWA, Canada, February 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
CENX [http://cenx.com ], the global leader of orchestrated service management and
assurance solutions for physical and virtualized networks, today announced it has
successfully interoperated with Ixia, Mitel, and VMware to demonstrate comprehensive
real-time assurance of mobile data services for virtual Evolved Packet Core (vEPC). Using
CENX's Exanova Service Intelligence
[http://cenx.com/products/exanova-service-intelligence-for-sdn-nfv ], mobile service
providers can rapidly realize high quality of experience (QoE) for VoLTE, VoWiFi, and data
enterprise and consumer subscribers, over large-scale, hybrid networks including vEPC. The
demonstration will be shown at Mobile World Congress 2016. Â
Market demand for reliable Internet of Things (IoT), dynamically scalable connectivity,
and cloud services is driving service providers to expand differentiated service
offerings, and leverage the agility, elasticity and cost-efficiency of NFV infrastructure
(NFVI). Real-time, continuous monitoring and analytics of millions of network events is
crucial to provide operations with actionable, automated intelligence to deliver high
enterprise and consumer service QoE across multi-vendor, hybrid networks.
The CENX, Ixia, Mitel, and VMware demonstration showcases optimized real-time service
assurance, within the context of Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO):
- CENX's Exanova Service Intelligence
[http://cenx.com/products/exanova-service-intelligence-for-sdn-nfv ] provides
end-to-end visualization, performance monitoring, and analysis of the real-time state
of services across all segments of the multi-vendor network path, pinpointing fault
root cause and impact on subscriber QoE;
- Ixia's IxLoad[TM] Wireless [http://www.ixiacom.com/products/ixload-wireless ]
delivers full-featured application testing of wireless networks and components,
emulating real-world subscriber traffic from LTE and WiFi Offload base stations to
mobile core at scale, for fast-tracking new network services with proven quality;
- Mitel's vEPC virtual functions provide the feature-rich, high-performance evolved
Packet Data Gateway [http://mitel.ca/products/mobile/evolved-packet-data-gateway ]
(ePDG) and Packet Gateway [http://mitel.ca/products/mobile/packet-gateway-pgw ] (PGW)
platforms for secure connections over untrusted non-3GPP WiFi or 3GPP-compliant LTE
access networks;
- VMware vCloud(R) NFV [http://www.vmware.com/industry/telco/overview.html ](TM)
enables CSPs to deploy a unified, multi-vendor and multi-function NFV platform that
supports any application at all stages of cloud evolution. The vCloud NFV platform
includes production-proven NFVI Solutions, openness in cloud management through
VMware Integrated OpenStack [http://www.vmware.com/products/openstack ] and Service
Assurance with Day 2 and Ongoing Operations.
"Mobile and NFV technologies continue to innovate at a tremendous pace, and we're
excited to be collaborating with industry leaders, Ixia, Mitel, and VMware, to bring
comprehensive solutions to market," said Jay McMullan, Senior Vice President of Sales and
Marketing, CENX. "With Exanova Service Intelligence's real-time visualization and detailed
KPI analytics, operators can quickly navigate their network, isolate faults, and trigger
automated workflows for proactive service assurance. This ensures high subscriber
satisfaction, driving top line revenues, and also makes the most of infrastructure
investment, netting bottom line gains."
"Ixia is excited to be working with CENX, Mitel, and VMware to enable virtual Evolved
Packet Core verification and validation," said Ixia's Scott Westlake, Vice President of
Business Development. "As carriers accelerate their transition to NFV, it's critical that
Lifecycle Service Orchestration solutions provide scalable and realistic performance,
resilience and security testing to deliver high quality services."
"Mitel has been an early adopter of NFV and understands well both the tremendous
flexibility and the potential complexity of fully virtualized network solutions," said
Terry McCabe, CTO of Mitel's Mobile Division. "Working with CENX, Ixia, and VMware gives
us a sophisticated set of management and analytics capabilities to operate our 4G LTE
network solutions with an intelligence that matches the subscriber services that we
enable."
"Working with our broad ecosystem of NFV partners, VMware is driving the next
evolution in business transformation for global service providers," said David Wright,
vice president of operations, Telco NFV Group, VMware. "Through this type of collaboration
with CENX, Ixia, and Mitel, we will collectively give service providers the confidence to
quickly move from proof of concept to production NFV to accelerate time-to-market and
overall service assurance for new and differentiated offerings."

Next Group Holdings Announces Plans to Extend its Reach in the Mobile HD Video Market
MIAMI, February 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Next Group Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: PLKD) announced today that it plans to aggressively
extend its market reach and subscriber base in the mobile HD video space throughout the
remainder of 2016, through its subsidiary NxtGn, Inc.
NxtGn plans to launch its AVYDA Powered by Telarix mobile application for iOS devices
in April 2016. The AVYDA cloud platform will allow from two people to thousands of people
located all over the earth to simultaneously join video rooms to connect with friends,
family members, celebrities, live entertainment events, doctors, classrooms, and more.
With a heavy focus on user experience, the application will be simple to use: just click
on an access link or notification to connect. The platform allows carrier service
providers to monetize HD video communication, changing the landscape of how subscribers
communicate with one another.
"We are very happy to see that 5 years of research and development, and relationship
building, are about to make our unique new HD video platform a reality for millions of
people around the world," said Michael De Prado, PLKD's President.
Mr. De Prado continued, "as our sister company NxtGn, Inc. begins to roll out several
exciting new products and services, the Next CALA Rewards program will offer Next CALA
subscribers the ability to use NxtGn's proprietary HD Personal Telepresence products to
participate in health care consultations, distance learning, and exclusive live
entertainment events. I am proud that Next CALA Rewards will soon allow our subscribers to
use HD telepresence services that until recently were within reach only of Fortune 500
companies and very high net worth individuals. I believe these synergies will give both
Avyda and our Next CALA Prepaid Visa cards sustainable competitive advantages in the
marketplace."

keys. But no longer. In a ground-breaking move for the automotive industry, Volvo Cars
plans to become the world's first car manufacturer to offer cars without keys from 2017.

http://www.multivu.com/players/uk/7761852-volvo-phone-as-key
Volvo customers will be offered an application for their mobile phones to replace the
physical key with a digital key. The innovative Bluetooth-enabled digital key technology,
will offer Volvo customers far more flexibility, enabling them to benefit from entirely
new ways to use and share cars.
The new Volvo app enables the digital key on the customer's mobile phone to do
everything a physical key currently does, such as locking or unlocking the doors or the
boot and allowing the engine to be started.
This new technology will also offer customers the possibility to receive more than one
digital key on their app allowing them to access different Volvo cars in different
locations - according to their changing mobility needs.
Using the app people could potentially book and pay for a rental car anywhere in the
world and have the digital car key delivered to their phone immediately. On arrival a
customer could simply locate the rental car via GPS, unlock it and drive away, avoiding
those frustrating queues at airport or train station car rental desks.
Volvo Cars' digital key means that sharing a car will become both simple and
convenient. Volvo owners will be able to send their digital key to other people via their
mobile phones so that they can also use the car, this may be family members, friends or
co-workers in a company.
"At Volvo we are not interested in technology for the sake of technology. New
technology has to make our customers' lives easier and save them time. Mobility needs are
evolving and so are our customers' expectation to access cars in an uncomplicated way,"
said Henrik Green, Vice President Product Strategy & Vehicle Line Management at Volvo
Cars. "Our innovative digital key technology has the potential to completely change how a
Volvo can be accessed and shared. Instead of sitting idle in a parking lot the entire day,
cars could be used more often and efficiently by whoever the owner wishes."
Volvo will pilot this technology in spring 2016 via its car sharing firm Sunfleet,
stationed at Gothenburg airport, Sweden. A limited number of commercially available cars
will be equipped with the new digital key technology in 2017.
"There are obviously many permutations when it comes to how this shared key technology
can be used," added Martin Rosenqvist, New Car Director, Special Products at Volvo Cars.
"We look forward to seeing how else this technology might be used in the future and we
welcome any and all ideas."
Volvo is a pioneer with new digital key solutions. In 2015 the Swedish premium
carmaker launched the world's first commercial offer to have online shopping delivered
directly to the car, by providing a one-time digital key to a delivery company. Now the
digital key technology will also be made available for customers.
Physical keys will continue to be offered for people who want them.
Volvo's innovative keyless car technology will be shown for the first time at the
Mobile World Congress 2016 (22-25 February) in Barcelona at the Ericsson booth.

SK Telecom Unveils Innovative Media Technologies at MWC 2016
Poster: SySAdmin
Posted on February 18, 2016 at 7:14:01 PM
SK Telecom Unveils Innovative Media Technologies at MWC 2016
-- Introduces for the first time 'Mobile Social Broadcasting Platform' that supports low latency live streaming of video taken with a smartphone
-- Enters into overseas markets with 'Cloud Streaming,' a solution that enables even legacy set-top boxes to provide the latest UI
-- Uncovers '8K UHD Super Encoder,' a powerful technology that performs real-time compression of 8K UHD video
SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SK Telecom (NYSE:SKM) today announced that it will display next-generation media platform and technologies, including 'Mobile Social Broadcasting Platform,' 'Cloud Streaming,' and '8K UHD Super Encoder' at the Mobile World Congress 2016 being held at Barcelona, Spain.
Sharing its state-of-the-art next-generation media technologies with companies around the globe, SK Telecom projects that a new era will soon open where any individual with a smartphone (and no expensive equipment) can perform a live UHD broadcast.
- Mobile Social Broadcasting Platform
'Mobile Social Broadcasting Platform' is an optimized platform for one-person broadcasting, which involves 1) taking a video with a smartphone, 2) live stream the video through an app or Multi-Channel Networks (MCN), and 3)chat or share multimedia content with viewers.
Through the application of high-speed mobile streaming technology, Mobile Social Broadcasting Platform dramatically reduces latency to less than three seconds even for extremely large video.
Based on its strength of instantaneous interaction between content producer and viewers, the platform can be well utilized for live sports broadcast, disaster report and election broadcast. It also offers features that allow the producer to send advertisement to viewers and interact with them through chatting or multimedia file sharing.
Going forward, SK Telecom will enable the platform to be applied to major broadcasting networks as well. To this end, the company is developing a technology that can connect video sent from the platform to the broadcast transmission system of a major broadcasting station. It aims to enable live broadcasting anywhere, anytime, over 5G or LTE networks.
SK Telecom plans to introduce its Mobile Social Broadcasting app within this year and will also collaborate with various media platforms including Multi-Channel Networks.
- Cloud Streaming
Cloud Streaming is a solution that uses virtualization technologies to provide the latest User Interface (UI) to television even through legacy/low-end set-top box. With the solution, UI is processed at the cloud, allowing only the results to be shown on the viewer's television, unlike the conventional way where the whole process relies on the performance of CPU and RAM of the set-top box.
The solution, provided by SK Telecom's subsidiary Entrix (http://entrixco.com/about_en.html), enables service providers to save a significant amount of cost for investment in IPTV/CableTV and subscriber acquisition as they no longer have to periodically replace users' old set-top boxes with upgraded ones in order to provide new services. Users can experience greater convenience as they can always enjoy the latest UI through set-top boxes already installed in their homes.
SK Telecom expects to advance into overseas market with Cloud Streaming this year. In particular, cable TV and IPTV service providers in Europe, China, Japan, and South East Asia are showing high interest in the solution. Already, Cyber Cloud, a media solution provider to Chinese pay-TV operators and provides cloud game solutions to 15 million set-top boxes in total, has acquired exclusive rights to the use of Cloud Streaming solution in China in January 2016.
- 8K UHD Super Encoder 8K
Introduced for the first time at MWC 2016, '8K UHD Super Encoder' is a technology that compresses 8K UHD (resolution of 7680X4320 pixels, four times clearer than 4K UHD) content seamlessly delivers the content from the server to IPTV or smartphones. SK Telecom will demonstrate the technology with Samsung Electronics' 110-inch SUHD TV.
Transmission of 8K UHD content without video compression requires tens of Gbps of throughput. However, 8K UHD Super Encoder enables users to send 8K UHD content smoothly over networks that support 100Mbps to 1Gbps throughput by providing a maximum compression ratio of 200 to 1.
SK Telecom expects 8K UHD Super Encoder to become a core technology that reduces network overload in the near future when 8K UHD TV and UHD mobile devices become available in the market. The company has participated in the standardization of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), which is the source technology for 8K UHD Super Encoder, and has become a licensor in the HEVC Patent pool.
8K UHD Super Encoder is received as an essential technology that can drive the spread of Virtual Reality (VR). Since VR devices are required to provide 360-degree images, VR content that offer full HD quality are usually 4K-8K UHD. SK Telecom expects that real-time VR broadcasting and VR streaming games utilizing 8K UHD Live/Super Encoder will become popular in the future.
"The media market is increasingly becoming segmented - from amateur one-person media to professional broadcasting - while expanding in size. At MWC 2016, SK Telecom will introduce innovative media technologies to lead the global media platform industry," said Park Jin-hyo, Senior Vice President and Head of Network Technology R&D Center of SK Telecom.

-- Introduces for the first time 'Mobile Social Broadcasting Platform' that supports low latency live streaming of video taken with a smartphone
-- Enters into overseas markets with 'Cloud Streaming,' a solution that enables even legacy set-top boxes to provide the latest UI
-- Uncovers '8K UHD Super Encoder,' a powerful technology that performs real-time compression of 8K UHD video
SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SK Telecom (NYSE:SKM) today announced that it will display next-generation media platform and technologies, including 'Mobile Social Broadcasting Platform,' 'Cloud Streaming,' and '8K UHD Super Encoder' at the Mobile World Congress 2016 being held at Barcelona, Spain.
Sharing its state-of-the-art next-generation media technologies with companies around the globe, SK Telecom projects that a new era will soon open where any individual with a smartphone (and no expensive equipment) can perform a live UHD broadcast.
- Mobile Social Broadcasting Platform
'Mobile Social Broadcasting Platform' is an optimized platform for one-person broadcasting, which involves 1) taking a video with a smartphone, 2) live stream the video through an app or Multi-Channel Networks (MCN), and 3)chat or share multimedia content with viewers.
Through the application of high-speed mobile streaming technology, Mobile Social Broadcasting Platform dramatically reduces latency to less than three seconds even for extremely large video.
Based on its strength of instantaneous interaction between content producer and viewers, the platform can be well utilized for live sports broadcast, disaster report and election broadcast. It also offers features that allow the producer to send advertisement to viewers and interact with them through chatting or multimedia file sharing.
Going forward, SK Telecom will enable the platform to be applied to major broadcasting networks as well. To this end, the company is developing a technology that can connect video sent from the platform to the broadcast transmission system of a major broadcasting station. It aims to enable live broadcasting anywhere, anytime, over 5G or LTE networks.
SK Telecom plans to introduce its Mobile Social Broadcasting app within this year and will also collaborate with various media platforms including Multi-Channel Networks.
- Cloud Streaming
Cloud Streaming is a solution that uses virtualization technologies to provide the latest User Interface (UI) to television even through legacy/low-end set-top box. With the solution, UI is processed at the cloud, allowing only the results to be shown on the viewer's television, unlike the conventional way where the whole process relies on the performance of CPU and RAM of the set-top box.
The solution, provided by SK Telecom's subsidiary Entrix (http://entrixco.com/about_en.html), enables service providers to save a significant amount of cost for investment in IPTV/CableTV and subscriber acquisition as they no longer have to periodically replace users' old set-top boxes with upgraded ones in order to provide new services. Users can experience greater convenience as they can always enjoy the latest UI through set-top boxes already installed in their homes.
SK Telecom expects to advance into overseas market with Cloud Streaming this year. In particular, cable TV and IPTV service providers in Europe, China, Japan, and South East Asia are showing high interest in the solution. Already, Cyber Cloud, a media solution provider to Chinese pay-TV operators and provides cloud game solutions to 15 million set-top boxes in total, has acquired exclusive rights to the use of Cloud Streaming solution in China in January 2016.
- 8K UHD Super Encoder 8K
Introduced for the first time at MWC 2016, '8K UHD Super Encoder' is a technology that compresses 8K UHD (resolution of 7680X4320 pixels, four times clearer than 4K UHD) content seamlessly delivers the content from the server to IPTV or smartphones. SK Telecom will demonstrate the technology with Samsung Electronics' 110-inch SUHD TV.
Transmission of 8K UHD content without video compression requires tens of Gbps of throughput. However, 8K UHD Super Encoder enables users to send 8K UHD content smoothly over networks that support 100Mbps to 1Gbps throughput by providing a maximum compression ratio of 200 to 1.
SK Telecom expects 8K UHD Super Encoder to become a core technology that reduces network overload in the near future when 8K UHD TV and UHD mobile devices become available in the market. The company has participated in the standardization of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), which is the source technology for 8K UHD Super Encoder, and has become a licensor in the HEVC Patent pool.
8K UHD Super Encoder is received as an essential technology that can drive the spread of Virtual Reality (VR). Since VR devices are required to provide 360-degree images, VR content that offer full HD quality are usually 4K-8K UHD. SK Telecom expects that real-time VR broadcasting and VR streaming games utilizing 8K UHD Live/Super Encoder will become popular in the future.
"The media market is increasingly becoming segmented - from amateur one-person media to professional broadcasting - while expanding in size. At MWC 2016, SK Telecom will introduce innovative media technologies to lead the global media platform industry," said Park Jin-hyo, Senior Vice President and Head of Network Technology R&D Center of SK Telecom.

Vuber Technologies Presents "The Nova" - The World's Most Advanced Cannabis Vaporizer
"If Apple designed a vaporizer, this would be it"
SEATTLE, Feb. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuber Technologies (http://www.vubervaporizers.com), the developers of the world's best personal vaporizers, announced the introduction of "The Nova" - an innovative and feature-packed unit that raises the bar for quality and performance.
The Nova features a unique, ergonomic design and ceramic core that allows for enjoyment of dry herb as well as oils, wax and concentrates. The sleek unit also has a temperature indicator and battery percentage LED.
The first thing you notice when you receive the Nova is the clean package design. Apple aficionados may think they are opening the next-generation iPhone...such is the quality of the materials.
Vuber Technologies Founder and President, Brandon Gallagher, said that the first shipment of the Nova has already sold out. "Interest has been so high that we pre-sold our entire first run," Gallagher stated. "However, we have ramped up production to meet the market demand, and are now taking orders for the next manufacturing cycle."
Vuber Technologies has quickly grown to become the premier brand in every state in which the company operates. The company's product line also includes the Atlas Solo - a remarkable two-in-one concentrate unit that features a stainless steel atomizer housing a single ceramic core wrapped in a titanium coil; and the Comet Atomizer - an ideal unit for viscous oil concentrates that comes with standard 510 threading.
"We work hard to give consumers the best possible vaping experience," Gallagher commented. "The Vuber Nova uses our latest technologies and design, and was created for consumers that want the best, but also appreciate a great value."

Gourmia Adds Ultra-Convenient All-in-One Multi-Cooker to Sous Vide Product Line
Easy-to-Use Unit Goes Beyond Standard Sous Vide Water Oven Functionality by Adding Full Range of Preprogrammed Cooking Functions; Product Adds an Exciting New Dimension that Enhances the Brand's 'Serious About Sous Vide' Full Line Concept
NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Gourmia(TM), a designer and manufacturer of innovative countertop kitchen appliances, will introduce an all-in-one Multi-Cooker with Sous Vide Oven (model GMC6500) at the upcoming International Home + Housewares Show 2016 in Chicago. Sleekly designed and simple to use, the 6.5-quart unit offers the perfect mix of cooking modes to carry a cook from breakfast to lunch to dinner and beyond. As part of its 'Serious About Sous Vide' full line solutions concept, Gourmia will also display its second generation sous vide pod immersion circulator, and two sous vide water ovens at the show.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160217/334536
"Gourmia is all about enabling consumers to eat better, fresher, and healthier without having to spend hours in the kitchen prepping, cooking, and cleaning up," remarked Sam Ash, chief marketing officer for Gourmia. "Sous vide style cooking is one of the hottest trends right now, and Gourmia is proud to offer a full product line to retailers looking to make the most of it. Our 'Serious About Sous Vide' turnkey concept represents a full line with models for every type of consumer and retail channel. It includes immersion pods with and without WiFi, traditional water ovens and even a combination sous vide water oven with multi-cooker. Our goal? To make it as easy as possible for our retail partners to do as much sous vide business as possible. With Gourmia's combination of features, performance and value, cooking sous vide style doesn't come any easier."
Even a novice cook will feel like a professional chef with the Gourmia GMC6500 Multi-Cooker. It features an easy-to-use LCD display with 10 one-touch pre-programmed cook modes and a custom setting mode - bake, sauté, roast, steam, stew, rice, yogurt, slow cook (low, high), keep warm, and of course, sous vide. The stainless steel exterior and removable aluminum non-stick pot are a dishwasher's best friend. A tough tempered glass lid withstands the heat as well as everyday wear and tear.
The Sous Vide Oven uses Gourmia's proven technology to ensure precision temperatures and produce consistently uniform results with both exterior and interior providing the signature taste and texture that has driven the sous vide trend. Its precise, low-temperature method of cooking ensures essential vitamins, nutrients, and ingredients are maintained while the "sealed pouch" process virtually eliminates the loss of natural flavors and aromas.

Second Generation Sous Vide Pod
The Gourmia second generation sous vide pod immersion circulator builds on the best-selling original model with additional and improved features. In response to customer feedback this re-engineered pod will have a timer, as well as a "degree by degree" temperature setting option. Gourmia's portable sous vide pod easily clips to any container to create a sous vide water oven and deliver delicious results every time.

About Master of Orion
Master of Orion is a modern rebirth of the critically acclaimed sci-fi strategy game. The forerunner of the influential "4X" style, Master of Orion builds on the iconic eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate, gameplay that the original game pioneered. This reimagined title stays true to its legacy, delivering on the promise of deep strategy, hard fought battles, diplomacy, and exploration--all with a healthy dash of humor.
Players can expect a fresh perspective on the original 10 races, each offering different styles of play. Within thousands of ever-changing galaxies, hundreds of unique technologies, and dozens of ships waiting to be tested, no two games will ever be the same.

Cat® S60 Announced As World's First Smartphone With Integrated Thermal Camera
READING, England, February 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
FLIR's Lepton Thermal Microcamera Module Embedded into Cat Phone's Rugged SmartphoneÂ
Cat(R) phones [http://www.catphones.com/en-us ] today announced the launch of its new
flagship product, the Cat S60; the world's first smartphone with an integrated thermal
camera, and the world's most waterproof smartphone. The device will be unveiled at Mobile
World Congress 2016, in Barcelona.
The Cat S60 includes an embedded thermal camera from FLIR, the global leader in
thermal imaging technology, allowing Cat phone users to be the first in the world to use
their smartphones for a multitude of use cases, including: detecting heat loss around
windows and doors; spotting moisture and missing insulation; identifying over-heating
electrical appliances and circuitry; and seeing in complete darkness.
The thermal camera visualizes heat that is invisible to the naked eye, highlighting
temperature contrasts. It can pick up heat and measure surface temperatures from a
distance of up to 50 to 100 feet, and see through obscurants such as smoke, enabling a
huge range of use cases for building professionals, utility workers, outdoor sports
enthusiasts, and emergency first responders to name but a few.
The Cat S60 is also waterproof to depths of up to 5 meters for one hour, allowing it
to be used as an underwater camera, pushing the boundaries of mobile technology, and how
and where it's used.
"To stand out from the crowd in today's smartphone market requires true innovation and
we are proud to partner with FLIR to announce what is truly a world's first," said Peter
Stephens, CEO Bullitt Group, global mobile device licensee for Caterpillar. "The Cat S60
represents a milestone for smartphones. We are excited for thermal technology to be in the
hands of Cat phones customers and to discover the myriad of daily time and efficiency use
cases it will present for them."
"We are delighted to work on the latest Cat phone with Bullitt Group, to integrate our
thermal camera into their proven, industrialized smartphone to create a truly innovative
and groundbreaking mobile product," said Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR. "The CAT
S60 presents mobile users around the world with new capabilities - a 'sixth sense'
experience that only thermal imaging can offer."
The Cat S60 is also an extremely tough and robust, world class rugged smartphone. It
exceeds military spec, is built to withstand drops onto concrete from up to 1.8 meters,
and it's dustproof as well as waterproof. Its versatile, super-bright display can be
viewed in bright sunlight, and the touchscreen can be controlled with wet fingers or while
wearing gloves. It is also protected by the latest Corning(R) Gorilla(R) Glass 4.
Cat S60 key features:Â
- Strengthened Die Cast Frame
- Drop proof to 1.8m, MIL Spec 810G
- Super bright display (typical 540 nits), Gorilla Glass 4
- 4.7" HD capacitive multi-touch with auto wet finger & glove support
- Optimised battery performance (3800mAh)
- High quality audio experience (>105dB)
- Underwater 13MP main camera with dual flash, 5MP front-facing camera
- 4G LTE
- Snapdragon 617 octa-core processor
- 32GB ROM, 3GB RAM
- Android(TM) Marshmallow
- Dedicated FLIR thermal camera app with MSX technology; still image, panorama, and
video capture; changeable heat palettes; temperature spot meter; and min, max, and
average temperature data
