Qualcomm Introduces Next-Generation Fast Charging Technology with Quick Charge 3.0
-- Latest evolution of quick charging technology is anticipated to be available with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and in mobile devices next year --
HONG KONG, Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., has introduced its next-generation of fast charging technology with Qualcomm(®) Quick Charge((TM)) 3.0 technology. Quick Charge 3.0 is the third generation of this technology and is the first of its kind to employ Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage (INOV), a new algorithm developed by Qualcomm Technologies, designed to allow portable devices the ability to determine what power level to request at any point in time for optimum power transfer, while maximizing efficiency. With Quick Charge 3.0 you can charge a typical phone from zero to 80 percent in about 35 minutes compared to conventional mobile devices without Quick Charge that may typically require almost an hour and a half.
With, INOV and other advancements, Quick Charge 3.0 is designed to be up to 38 percent more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0, while also implementing additional steps to help protect battery cycle life. Additionally, when used with Qualcomm Technologies' latest, advanced parallel charging configurations, Quick Charge 3.0 can:
-- Help improve fast charging up to 27% or reduces power dissipation by up
to 45% when compared to Quick Charge 2.0.
-- Charge up to 2x faster than Quick Charge 1.0
Available now, Quick Charge 3.0 will be featured as an option on select Qualcomm(®) Snapdragon((TM)) processors, including Snapdragon 820, 620, 618, 617 and 430, and is anticipated to appear in mobile devices launched next year. Qualcomm Snapdragon processors are products of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
"We are significantly enhancing the capabilities and benefits offered by Quick Charge 3.0 to bring robust fast charging technology to all," said Alex Katouzian, senior vice president, product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "Quick Charge 3.0 addresses a primary consumer challenge with today's mobile devices in helping users restore battery life quickly and efficiently, and does so through leading technology and a robust ecosystem including leading device and accessory OEMs."
Additional improvements offered by Quick Charge 3.0 include enhanced flexibility over Quick Charge 2.0, notably in terms of charging options. While Quick Charge 2.0 offers four charging voltages at 5V, 9V, 12V and 20V, Quick Charge 3.0 provides flexibility with 200mV increments from 3.6V to 20V. This allows the phone to request just enough voltage to reach the desired charge current, resulting in minimized losses, increased efficiency, and improved thermal performance.
"LG Electronics featured Quick Charge 2.0 in our recent smartphone designs and the reaction from the public was very positive," said Dr. Sang G. Kim, AVP, LG Electronics. "At its core, LG strives to design devices that deliver an unbeatable user-experience. Qualcomm Technologies' solution is well aligned with that philosophy and fast charging has quickly become one of the more popular device features. Qualcomm Technologies' solution is also generations ahead of others and we look forward to offering Quick Charge 3.0 to our customers to give them a full charge faster and with increased efficiency."
Quick Charge 3.0 also maintains forward and backward compatibility with previous versions of Quick Charge as well as with connectors, including USB Type-C, as well as the same ultra-fast charging speed, cable independence offering OEMs several options, and UL certification to help meet quality and safety standards.
Quick Charge 3.0 is implemented with minimal changes to current designs, offering OEMs a low cost option for fast battery charging. Operators and OEMs benefit from the established Quick Charge ecosystem with over 20 OEMs already supporting Quick Charge 2.0, and over 90 available accessories. The fast charging technology is mandated by several operators with active support from other operators and retailers.

OnTime Networks Launches new Cloudberry CM-4004F0-ITAP-AERO Series 4 Port Airborne Managed Gigabit Ethernet Inline Tap (ITAP)
DALLAS, Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- OnTime Networks, a global leader for rugged, time synchronized Ethernet solutions for the Aerospace and Defense Industry, announced today the expansion of its airborne-grade Gigabit Ethernet product portfolio with the new Cloudberry CM-4004F0-ITAP AERO Series.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150914/266349
The OnTime Networks Cloudberry CM-4004F0-ITAP-AERO is an airborne rugged non-intrusive four port inline Gigabit Ethernet network tap with filtering capabilities, providing a way to access data flowing across Onboard Network Systems (ONS) between two points.
Markus Schmitz, Managing Director of OnTime Networks in the U.S., stated, "We are excited about adding the new Cloudberry CM-4004F0-ITAP-AERO airborne rugged inline Gigabit Ethernet network tap to our product portfolio and the new capabilities it offers to the industry." Schmitz continued, "As ONS carry critical data, it is essential that airborne network tap devices offer a back-up (failure) mode in case of power loss or unit failure, to ensure connectivity between the two ONS nodes. This has been achieved with a bypass relay function and the introduction of a smart Build-In test (BIT) logic to monitor the boot process and continuous operation. The unit is optimized for Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP) constraints and is able to withstand extreme temperatures, shock, vibration, humidity, dust, sand, water, and electronic interference."
Pal-Jorgen Kylleso, CTO of OnTime Networks further commented, "Unlike a network switch with mirroring capability, the CM-4004 is a true in-line network tap which eliminates the risk of dropping packets due to congestion on the mirroring ports. Network taps have been available for the commercial and industrial market for years, but there have been few, if any, truly rugged alternatives available."
About CM-4004F0-ITAP-AERO Series
The OnTime Networks Cloudberry CM-4004F0-ITAP-AERO is an airborne rugged non-intrusive four port inline Gigabit Ethernet network tap with filtering capabilities, providing a way to access data flowing across Onboard Network Systems (ONS) between two points. The CM-4004F0-ITAP-AERO has four ports: J1, J2 and the two monitor ports J3 and J4 of which one can be used for management. The Tap mirrors uplink and downlink data to the monitoring ports. The device further provides filtering capabilities, in order to selectively pass data, based on VLAN ID to the monitoring ports for monitoring, analysis, processing and recording purposes.
The very small design with less than two pounds in weight, a 10 Watts typical power consumption and MIL circular connectors, makes the unit well suited for low size/weight applications where electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is important. The unit is designed to meet the environmental requirements of RTCA/DO-160 and MIL-STD 810G as well as the EMI/EMC requirements (Conducted & Radiated Emissions & Susceptibility) of MIL-STD 461F, MIL-STD-704F and 1275E. The extended temperature operation from -40 to +71C, resistance to high shock/vibration, humidity, altitude, and dust/water ingress makes the CM-4004F0-ITAP-AERO ideal for aerospace and defense application.
The CM-4004F0-ITAP-AERO inline tap is transparent for monitoring critical links and provides network data flow also in case of:
-- No power on the CM-4000 network tap
-- Any malfunctions on the CM-4000 network tap
This is achieved by incorporating an advanced relay subsystem between the pair of network ports, enabling transmission of network communications signals during power loss or unit failure. There will be a short transition period when the link goes down and is re-established. During this short period there will be loss of data.
The CM-4004F0-ITAP-AERO series offer management based on HTTP. The tap is designed for aircraft environments with a wide operating temperature range.
The CM-4004F0-AERO series is configured with five connectors: power input (J5) and 4 x 10/100/1000BASE-TX Ethernet ports (J1-J4). Ruggedized military approved connectors are used for both the Ethernet ports and the power connector.

Currently, games on PS4(TM) HK store are mainly produced locally or with international references. With the increasing importance of Chinese players, SONY is trying to promote Chinese-style games on PS4(TM) store. However, because of the high cost and long period in research and development, so very few Chinese game studios are willing to take the high risks. Therefore, each release of PS4(TM) title is the fruit of many people's years of hard work, and the release of "Knights of Valor" sets an example.
The "Knights of Valor"PS4(TM) is a horizontal version ACT game produced by the original production group of IGS and launched by Shanghai Perfect World Network Technology Co.,Ltd. With 3 years of refinement, it remains the original mode of leveling up by fighting and the original setting of multiple players, but replaces the monopolist 2D graphic with brand new experiences, such as 3D character images, multiple-player mode, and gorgeous trick moves and operative skills.
As one of the most classic games, "Knights of Valor" must have left a mark on a great many people's lives. Although at that time, the game graphic was of low quality and the gameplay was limited, players were enthusiastic to play through whole afternoons with only one coin each time. Now that the "Knights of Valor"PS4(TM) supports multiple-player mode (4 players at most), players can team with their friends on this new platform to recall the good old days.
To celebrate the release of "Knights of Valor" on HK PS4(TM) store, Shanghai Perfect World Network Technology Co.,Ltd will promote 9 big events, including signing in, free trials and level-up competition, with particpants in with the chance of winning an iPhone 6S, PlayStation 4 and many other prizes.

BEIJING, Sept. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The arcade-game-based HK game culture has witnessed revolutions throughout the years, from the purchase rush of expensive consoles and games at the end of the last century to the common scene of boys playing with handheld game consoles and cellphones on subways nowadays. But even today, consoles still have a bunch of hardcore fans in the highly-free HK market. To pay a tribute to these loyal players, the International Game System (IGS) will bring "Knights of Valor" to PS4(TM) store on the game's 15(th) anniversary, when HK will be able to have the first taste on 15th September.

Currently, games on PS4(TM) HK store are mainly produced locally or with international references. With the increasing importance of Chinese players, SONY is trying to promote Chinese-style games on PS4(TM) store. However, because of the high cost and long period in research and development, so very few Chinese game studios are willing to take the high risks. Therefore, each release of PS4(TM) title is the fruit of many people's years of hard work, and the release of "Knights of Valor" sets an example.

Scientific Games continues to provide innovative electronic table game solutions ("ETS") for every type of casino floor through its Shuffle Master brand. Several of these e-table innovations will be prominently featured, including Tablemaster Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, and Fusion Auto Roulette.
Headlining the ETS segment this year will be a new game available: Tablemaster Fusion - Playboy Bonus Blackjack. This one-of-a-kind blackjack game features the first-ever licensed brand ETS product that incorporates a community "slot-like" bonus round and highlights the beauty of four Playboy Playmate dealers. The Tablemaster Fusion line uses a high-definition, 75-inch 4K display for the attractive virtual dealers as well as 22-inch widescreen player terminals with touchscreen betting, enhanced graphics, and multiple side bets.
Also taking center stage will be the cutting-edge Fusion Hybrid, which features connections to up to four live-dealer games and user-friendly, 22-inch widescreen electronic betting terminals. For a dynamic gaming experience and increased revenue potential, players can switch between and concurrently play baccarat, roulette, and sic bo from the same terminal with the convenient touch of a button. Also, the Company will also display community blackjack on the Fusion Hybrid, where all players are dealt the same first two starting cards but subsequently each player can independently make unique playing and betting decisions on each hand.
Fusion Auto Roulette, which brings traditional roulette to a fully configurable, live-action, electronic layout, will also be shown. A beautiful, color display board offers the latest statistics on table happenings, and a camera displays the live ball drop on-screen. The game includes an array of terminal- and wheel-lighting options, allowing players to customize a unique experience that captures the essence of each casino area.
SG Interactive on Display
At G2E 2015, SG Interactive will showcase its industry leading suite of digital gaming solutions for both online and land-based casinos, anchored by renowned slot and table content.
Highlighted will be SG Universe, a suite of products that enables land-based casinos to deepen their relationships with players through incremental engagement both on and off the casino floor, keeping their brand top-of-mind between casino visits while generating excitement for increased casino visits. SG Universe's award-winning platforms include Mobile Concierge, VenueBetand Play4FunNetwork.
With Mobile Concierge, players can engage with a casino's brand and amenities, including the ability to view loyalty rewards, receive personalized messages, and book hotel rooms, spa treatments and more. With the VenueBet platform, players can engage with slots and table games, as well as more casual and skill-based content, from their smartphone or tablet within pre-determined areas of a casino property, turning players' mobile devices into incremental gaming positions on the casino floor. The Play4Fun Network is a proven social casino platform that drives player engagement with multiple forms of content from across the Company's breadth of studios. SG Universe integrates into a casino's CMS allowing for a single, 360-degree view of the player and the ability to deliver a powerful, personalized, branded experience based on a player's activity both on and off the casino floor.
SG Interactive continues to provide the deepest and broadest portfolio of player-favorite wagering content to online casinos globally through its Bally, Barcrest, Shuffle Master and Williams game development studios. Remote Game Server content features numerous licensed brands already popular with many players including the Hasbro classic MONOPOLY(TM), with new launches joining recent hits such as MONOPOLY Big Event(TM) and Super MONOPOLY Money(TM), as well as the legendary KISS(TM) and the whimsical THE WIZARD OF OZ(TM). Now HTML5 games are launching simultaneously for web and mobile and with features like free spins, wilds and scatters; players can continue to expect an exciting ride from the SG Interactive portfolio.
Lottery Comes to G2E
Additionally, Scientific Games will have its breakthrough lottery retail technology on display at G2E with the PlayCentral HD, an interactive self-service kiosk for lottery instant and draw games, and high-frequency draw games where allowed by law. PlayCentral HD takes the self-service retail experience to a new level with a 42-inch LCD touchscreen display with a 3-D graphical user interface that offers unique interactive capabilities. PlayCentral HD puts the player in command of the game options and the information they want to access, while offering features like cash and debit card payment, ticket checking and validation, age verification, integrated advertising display and - for the first time in lottery self-service - a "shopping cart" experience similar to internet retailers.
A central focus of the Company's lottery exhibit will be the Play Central EX self-service betting terminal. This reliable, easy-to-navigate, eye-catching kiosk delivers an extensive, configurable betting program in real time offering unlimited sports, events and markets. It can be used as an end-to-end sports betting solution or as an integral part of the omni-channel, Scientific Games unified sports betting system to deliver pre-game and in-play excitement.
New for lottery play, Scientific Games combines its intriguing LinkedPlay holographic instant game concept with three popular WMS slot brands to create all new instant games. Players scratch off the play areas of Jackpot Party, Gold Fish and Zeus II instant games to reveal familiar symbols from these popular slots games. The Company is the first to use holographic play symbols under an instant game scratch-off coating, adding a dynamic and exciting play experience for both instant and casino players as they scratch to win big.
Scientific Games currently leads the industry in mobile and web solutions for lotteries. The Company delivered more distinct mobile and web-based projects to lottery organizations than all competitors combined, managing diverse regulatory environments, player sophistication, third-party system integrations and multiple languages. At the core of Scientific Games' interactive focus are bonusing and rewards solutions. More than 600 solutions have been delivered to more than 40 lotteries around the world, ranging from single game second-chance promotions to full-line loyalty and bonusing programs. Scientific Games has also delivered iLottery solutions to more than 13 World Lottery Association members, beginning with Lotto Bayern (Germany) in 2001 and most recently with North Dakota Lottery (U.S.) in 2014. Where permitted by law, the Company's mobile and web iLottery solution is an exceptional opportunity for channel extension. Central to all of the Company's interactive solutions is its lottery mobile app that is currently deployed with nine U.S. lotteries with two more soon to be released. Scientific Games embraces "mobile first" and our many deployments are a testimony to this in action.

HOMTOM Produces Smartphones With Long Battery Life That Can Last for 7 days
SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As we grow increasingly dependent on our smartphones, Low Battery becomes a big nuisance.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150910/265331
Fortunately, the HOMTOM is the first Smartphone brand from China with a full range of long lasting batteries and will solve this big problem.
HOMTOM is releasing two phones in October, HOMTOM HT6 and HT5. The most prominent features are the huge battery life and rapid charging technology. HT6 carries a battery of 6250 mAh and HT5 with a 4250 mAh battery.
The HT6 has a very impressive power performance. With the 6250 mAh large battery, the HT6 can last for 7 days based on average use, 3 days of heavy use, and up to 72 hours of talking time. When the battery is at only 5%, HT6 can stand by for another 65 hours. Charging this smartphone is incredibly fast. "MediaTek Pump Express," the fast charging technology, can power up the phone to 75% within 30 minutes. It reduces necessary charging time. At the same time, HT6 supports the current output function, to charge your other mobile devices. What's more stunning is that the design of HT6 follows the modern trend, appearing with a 5.5 inch screen and only 9.9mm ultra-slim body.
HT6 is both functional and elegant. It is the perfect choice for your business trip, long-term travel, and outdoor adventures.
HOMTOM's slogan is "More power, lasting longer." "The original concept of HOMTOM, was to create the first smartphone brand with large batteries and a long standby time," said Mr. Xie, the CEO of DG HOMTOM Group Co., Limited. HOMTOM has strong research and development as well as manufacturing teams. Each year the company is estimated to spend 2 million dollars for research and development. There are more than 500 employees and 10 thousand square meters of production base.
The core value of HOMTOM is to produce high quality smartphones with long battery life to serve their worldwide customers. Let's look forward to those amazing phones coming to the market.
HOMTOM HT6 and HT5

Fortunately, the HOMTOM is the first Smartphone brand from China with a full range of long lasting batteries and will solve this big problem.
HOMTOM is releasing two phones in October, HOMTOM HT6 and HT5. The most prominent features are the huge battery life and rapid charging technology. HT6 carries a battery of 6250 mAh and HT5 with a 4250 mAh battery.
The HT6 has a very impressive power performance. With the 6250 mAh large battery, the HT6 can last for 7 days based on average use, 3 days of heavy use, and up to 72 hours of talking time. When the battery is at only 5%, HT6 can stand by for another 65 hours. Charging this smartphone is incredibly fast. "MediaTek Pump Express," the fast charging technology, can power up the phone to 75% within 30 minutes. It reduces necessary charging time. At the same time, HT6 supports the current output function, to charge your other mobile devices. What's more stunning is that the design of HT6 follows the modern trend, appearing with a 5.5 inch screen and only 9.9mm ultra-slim body.
HT6 is both functional and elegant. It is the perfect choice for your business trip, long-term travel, and outdoor adventures.
HOMTOM's slogan is "More power, lasting longer." "The original concept of HOMTOM, was to create the first smartphone brand with large batteries and a long standby time," said Mr. Xie, the CEO of DG HOMTOM Group Co., Limited. HOMTOM has strong research and development as well as manufacturing teams. Each year the company is estimated to spend 2 million dollars for research and development. There are more than 500 employees and 10 thousand square meters of production base.
The core value of HOMTOM is to produce high quality smartphones with long battery life to serve their worldwide customers. Let's look forward to those amazing phones coming to the market.
HOMTOM HT6 and HT5

Ricoh expands production print portfolio to help printers capture more business

Ricoh expands production print portfolio to help printers capture more business
New capabilities deliver needed information with more automation, added productivity and advanced finishing options
CHICAGO, Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- GRAPH EXPO 15, Booth #1231 -- Ricoh Americas Corporation today unveiled new additions to its award-winning production print portfolio, aimed at helping printers increase their profitability. The RICOH Pro 8100e series of monochrome production printers, along with the Ricoh Peripheral Interface Port (RPIP), bring new capabilities to automate commercial, data center and corporate production tasks more efficiently while enabling more options for in-line finishing. As clients' needs continue to become more time sensitive and require the flexibility of printing on larger sizes with thicker stocks, these additions help printers deliver the information their customers want affordably and effectively.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140718/128670
The RICOH Pro 8100e series features both multifunction RICOH Pro 8100se series models and printer-only RICOH Pro 8100e series models with speeds up to 135 pages per minute. These models enable printers to churn through high-volume jobs quickly and deliver critical information to the right audience at the right time. With the RPIP, users now have the ability to expand their in-line finishing options, increasing the speed and flexibility of their operation. RPIP aids printers in reducing manual touch points and wait times between printing and finishing, which can lead to fewer errors, faster turnaround times and, by extension, more business.
"Whether we're speaking with commercial printers or corporations with in-plant operations, we often hear the same requests: 'We need to do more in less time,'" said John Fulena, Vice President, Production Printing Business Group, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "Helping our customers grow profitability is directly tied to addressing this need. With the additions of the RICOH Pro 8100e and RICOH Pro 8100se models and RPIP, we're confident commercial printers of all sizes can do just that. And we're not stopping there; we'll continue to expand our portfolio to help our customers meet their clients' demands time and time again."
With the RICOH Pro 8100e series, printers can:
-- Print longer runs with fewer interruptions: With the ability to print up
to one million impressions per month, these models offer nine paper
trays with capacity for up to 12,650 sheets to handle even the largest
jobs;
-- Automate more jobs with RPIP: With a comprehensive list of in-line
finishing options, including compatibility with CP Bourg, Duplo and
Watkiss, printers can now confidently deliver professional-grade
booklets, reporters, brochures and more. Jobs are also less reliant on
manual tasks as automatic stapling, hole-punching, saddle-stitching,
de-curling and cover insertion are now fully automated;
-- Reduce energy consumption: In addition to the RICOH Pro 8100e series'
ENERGY STAR® rating, its standard duplex scanning helps to maximize
efficiency. It also qualifies as a Gold level for EPEAT® (Electronic
Product Environmental Assessment Tool), based on the IEEE 1680
International Standards;
-- Meet more deadlines: With the ability to integrate with RICOH
TotalFlow® Prep, Print Manager, Path and BatchBuilder, printers can
streamline the output and workflow processes, helping to keep both
individual jobs and overall revenue flowing;
-- Share messages with more types of media: With the RICOH Pro 8100e
series, printers can print on stocks up to 350 g/m and can transition to
textured, coated or specialty stocks automatically without slowing down
job flow. MICR capabilities are also available for check printing,
helping to expedite processing and reduce costs.

Intersil Delivers First Encapsulated 80A Digital Power Module
ISL8273M provides highest power density POL solution for advanced FPGAs, processors and memory
MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a leading provider of innovative power management and precision analog solutions today announced the industry's first 80A fully encapsulated digital DC/DC PMBus power module that provides point-of-load (POL) conversions for advanced FPGAs, DSPs, ASICs, processors and memory. The ISL8273M is a complete step-down regulated power supply that delivers up to 80A output current and operates from industry standard 5V or 12V input power rails. Multi-phase current sharing of up to four ISL8273M power modules enables power supply designers to create a 320A solution with output voltages as low as 0.6V. Housed in a compact 18mm x 23mm module, the ISL8273M delivers the industry's highest power density and performance for increasingly space-constrained data center equipment and wireless communications infrastructure systems.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150909/264951
The ISL8273M digital power module leverages a patented ChargeMode(TM) control architecture that delivers best-in-class efficiencies, with up to 94% peak efficiency and better than 90% efficiency on most conversions. It also provides a single clock cycle fast transient response to output current load steps common in FPGAs and DSPs processing power bursts. The ISL8273M's compensation-free design keeps the device stable regardless of output capacitor changes due to temperature, variation or aging while eliminating the need for an external discrete compensation network.
The 80A ISL8273M further distances itself from competitive digital power modules by delivering 2x higher output current. Its proprietary High Density Array (HDA) package offers unmatched electrical and thermal performance through a single-layer conductive package substrate that reduces lead inductance and dissipates heat primarily through the system board. The ISL8273M is built on Intersil's proven, fourth generation digital controller technology and is pin-for-pin compatible with the 50A ISL8272M. It expands Intersil's existing 6A - 50A digital power module family, giving customers an easy migration path to higher current rails. These fully encapsulated power modules are compatible with all industry pick and place equipment for full manufacturing automation.

"The 80A ISL8273M gives our customers the power density they need, along with excellent thermal and electrical performance, on-the-fly power supply optimization, and real-time system monitoring and control."
Through a PMBus-compliant interface, the ISL8273M module's digital control technology provides precise sequencing, full telemetry and system monitoring. The ISL8273M can also start up and operate in pin-strap mode using six external resistors for setting default configurations such as V(out), soft-start, under-voltage, switching frequency and current sharing. This allows designers to power up the modules during the development phase without using PMBus or requiring any programming.
Key Features and Specifications
-- 80A digital switch mode power supply with current sharing, multi-phase
and multi-modules support for up to 320A power rails
-- Wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 14V and programmable V(out) from

The chip uses intelligent firmware to extend battery life while also maintaining accuracy in speed, distance and position for an enhanced user experience.
"Broadcom is extending its navigation leadership into the IoT ecosystem by helping customers deliver a premium location experience without compromising battery life or requiring a costly, power-hungry host processor," said Prasan Pai, Broadcom Senior Director, Wireless Connectivity. "With more consumers demanding GNSS in a wider variety of applications, we see a tremendous opportunity to expand our reach into new devices with market-leading GNSS technology."
By absorbing location computations on-chip, Broadcom not only reduces power consumption but can also dramatically lower costs for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) by replacing the device MCU and reducing board space. Additionally, firmware inside the BCM47748 automatically adapts to user activity and context, whether biking, walking or running, to provide precise location results to the user, enabling performance that is not sacrificed for power savings.
Key Features:
-- PVT computed on-chip
-- Integrated GNSS receiver with concurrent support for GPS and GLONASS,
combined with accelerometer inputs to produce stable, accurate and low
power speed and distance
-- Context engine and adaptive firmware to enable low power consumption for
every activity and context without compromising accuracy
-- Ability to produce GNSS fixes with only 5mA current consumption in
certain scenarios
-- MCU host interfaces include SPI, UART or I2C
-- Sensor interfaces include I2C master, SPI master, I2S, ADC and GPIO
-- Large on-chip memory for enhanced PVT accuracy and customer applications
-- Embedded processor with self-boot capability
-- Geofencing and lifelogging capabilities
-- 70 ball WLBGA package with 0.4mm ball pitch
Broadcom's Stephen Mole will be presenting on the topic of achieving low power consumption in wearables at the Institute of Navigation (ION) GNSS+ 2015 conference, taking place September 14-18, 2015 at the Tampa Convention Center in Florida. Stephen will present during the A5 session, Applications using Consumer GNSS, on Friday, September 18 at 9:40 a.m. in Room 23.

Thuraya Doubles the Choice With New SatSleeve+ and SatSleeve Hotspot
DUBAI, UAE, September 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
It's your world, your phone, your call Â
Leading Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) operator Thuraya Telecommunications today
unveiled a new generation of SatSleeve models, offering greater choice, improved quality
and a new hotspot option.Â
To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:
http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7620051-thuraya-choice-satsleeve-hotspot
When SatSleeve was launched in 2013 it pioneered the "bring your own device" (BYOD)
concept in the satellite industry. Now Thuraya goes further with two new models, and has
identified a clear consumer target market for the range, running alongside core government,
 media, energy, and NGO sectors. SatSleeve+ and SatSleeve Hotspot will appeal
to travellers, adventurers and outdoor sportspeople, or simply to consumers who want the
assurance that their smartphone will connect even when terrestrial networks are
unavailable or damaged.
Thuraya will market SatSleeve+ and SatSleeve Hotspot through
existing distribution partners; innovative agreements it has developed with MNOs in key
markets; and new channels generated through online retailer Expansys.Â
Thuraya's Chief Executive Officer, Samer Halawi, said: "Thuraya continues to innovate,
improve its range and widen its appeal. SatSleeve+ and SatSleeve Hotspot offer double the
choice, and demonstrate triple innovation: the models themselves are new; the way we're
selling them online across Europe is groundbreaking; and agreements with new MNOs in
key geographies will bring us into direct contact with important customer
markets. Thuraya's purpose is to save and improve lives, and these products will allow
more people to be connected when and where they need it."Â
SatSleeve+ features a new voice routing system that improves on the sound quality, and
can be used with a wider range of smartphone models than before. It comes with a
universal smartphone adaptor, broadening its appeal to a larger number of smartphone
owners than was previously possible. The adaptor also allows users to switch
between handsets, so owners of more than one smartphone do not need to buyadditional kit.Â
SatSleeve Hotspot's stand creates a portable satellite Wi-Fi hotspot, giving people
satellite connectivity without physically docking their smartphone to a unit, and freedom
to move indoors. A SatSleeve Hotspot user can leave the stand outside, stay indoors or in
their vehicle, and use their smartphone in satellite mode inside. The SatSleeve Hotspot is
the smallest, lightest, and most capable in the industry.
Both models let you make calls, use messaging applications, update your social network,
 send and receive email and SMS, and access apps. They also come with an additional safety
feature -Â a programmable SOS button that works even if your smartphone isn't connected.
This convenient function lets customers call a predefined number of their choice.
Thuraya SatSleeve+ and SatSleeve Hotspot offer fast, simple connectivity on the move,
in remote areas normally beyond the reach of smartphones, or in urban areas where
terrestrial networks have become unavailable or unreliable. Connection is easy, gaining
access to Thuraya's vast coverage area spanning Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia
and Australia. SatSleeve+ and SatSleeve Hotspot work either with a Thuraya SIM card or
with a GSM SIM card from more than 360 Thuraya roaming partners worldwide.
Thuraya continues to add new partners and extending existing partnerships as it takes
the new SatSleeve models to market. Halawi said: "MNOs around the world can offer their
customers a first-of-a-kind service that delivers constant 100% geographical coverage.
This sets the MNO apart from their competitors, and generates a higher average revenue per
user (ARPU). Retailers can for the first time offer an exciting product that complements
their smartphone offerings."

Exegy Adds Fixed Income Data with BrokerTec Feed Handler
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Exegy Inc., a leading provider of managed services and technology for market data normalization and distribution, has announced today the availability of a feed handler for the BrokerTec ITCH electronic fixed income feed that provides real-time pricing for U.S. and Canadian treasury bonds and notes. The feed handler is available for Exegy's lineup of hardware-accelerated appliances and embedded software ticker plant products. BrokerTec is the most recent addition to their portfolio of over 200 feed handlers for direct and consolidated feeds for global equities, commodities, derivatives, currencies, and fixed income markets.
Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150911/265753LOGO
"Our entrance into electronic fixed income market data is just another indicator of the tectonic shifts underway in the marketplace," says chief executive officer James O'Donnell. "The center of gravity for treasury debt trading is shifting from traditional dealers to electronic market makers who represent a core constituency of our customer base. We are responding to the needs of existing customers and we expect to win new business as our abilities to service the needs of electronic fixed income traders expand," adds O'Donnell. The BrokerTec feed handler is already in production usage on Exegy Ticker Plant and Market Data System hardware-accelerated appliances.
The release of the BrokerTec ITCH feed handler is the first major milestone in Exegy's roadmap for supporting electronic fixed income markets. "We plan to respond to emerging opportunities in the electronic fixed income markets in much the same way that we have in the electronic currency markets, where we now support over thirty different ECNs and banks," says chief technology officer David Taylor. When developing interfaces for additional market data feeds, Exegy places a premium on consistency and ease of use. "Our careful stewardship of our normalized data model allows our customers to easily apply existing market making and trading applications to new markets and new asset classes. This consistency and portability, combined with our performance and managed services, have made our offerings very attractive for large enterprises engaged in multi-asset trading," adds Taylor.

Kerry Logistics Deploys the Award-winning Robotic Fulfillment Solution to Meet e-Commerce Demands

Kerry Logistics Deploys the Award-winning Robotic Fulfillment Solution to Meet e-Commerce Demands
HONG KONG, Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Kerry Logistics Network Limited ("Kerry Logistics"; Stock Code 636.HK), a leading logistics service provider in Asia, has introduced six fully automated and programmed robotic butlers at its flagship facility PC(3) in Hong Kong to meet the ever-growing consumer demands in online shopping. Kerry Logistics is one of the first 3PLs in Asia to adopt robotic butlers in its operations to enhance fulfillment efficiency and accuracy.
Today, speed-to-market order fulfillment is the key to success in the retail industry. The process of picking products is at the heart of e-commerce operations where high volumes of small and irregular orders predominate. Kerry Logistics' robotic butlers are being deployed in the order fulfillment centre where sales orders taken from retailers or e-commerce marketplaces are being processed.
Real time sales orders are transmitted to the robotic butlers via Kerry Logistics' proprietary warehouse management system ("WMS"). Designated shelves are then picked and delivered to the pick station. The system indicates the right items to be picked for shipments using a simple lighting system in which every item is tracked via barcodes.
Currently, the robotic butlers operate 24/7 and can pick 280 items per hour compared to 50 items in the normal course and the pick rate is four times faster. This solution is ideal for retail brands which sell a wide variety of consumer products with potentially expanding e-commerce business.
At the 2015 HKTDC International ICT Expo which took place in April, Kerry Omni Channel Fulfillment solution received the "Best Smart Hong Kong (Internet of Things Application) - Certificate of Merit" at the 2015 Hong Kong ICT Awards steered by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer and organised by a number of industry associations and professional bodies. The solution seamlessly incorporates robotic butlers, WMS, Pick-to-Light and Android-based EPOD to provide comprehensive order fulfillment for modern B2B2C and B2C businesses. It has been proven to successfully enhance and strengthen the overall efficiency of supply chain management and logistics operations.
The introduction of the robotic fulfillment solution is part of Kerry Logistics' core values to create real value for its clients through innovative solutions and continuous improvement. As Kerry Logistics' business grows and volumes increase, the ability to efficiently manage capacity becomes paramount and automation will play a crucial role in enhancing the overall supply chain efficiency and delivering exceptional customer satisfaction.
About Kerry Logistics Network Limited (Stock Code 636.HK)

Its core competence is providing highly customised solutions to multinational corporations and international brands to enhance their supply chain efficiency, reduce overall costs and improve response time to market.

SMIT presents the CI Plus v1.4 CAM
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SMIT, the global-leading operation platform provider for secure distribution of paid content, presents the CI Plus v1.4 CAM at our booth F86, Hall 1 during IBC 2015.
As a significant update of CI+ specification, CI Plus v1.4 adds the facility to route IP-delivered content over the TS Interface to CAM. This enables the decryption of protected content delivered over IP to a network interface on the Host while using a DRM client in the CAM. This provides a way to use a single CAM to receive and decrypt both broadcast and broadband services for the service providers and operators.
The SMIT CI Plus v1.4 CAM adds new features such as the ability to route high-bandwidth IP streams through the CAM and the ability to control those IP streams. Other new features include the extensions to the CI Plus browser, the handling of multiple encrypted streams (multi stream), and the ability to manage broadcast and broadband services on one channel list. These new features enable the delivery of high-value IP content straight to the TV- set without a set-top box.
SMIT's CI Plus v1.4 CAM prototype will be ready in Q4 2015.
About SMIT:
SMIT provides devices that enable secure digital content delivery for the pay TV industry, allowing authorized subscribers access to protected content on any device, any place, anytime.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland, September 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
iWedia, a leading provider of software solutions for TV devices to service operators
and Consumer Electronics manufacturers, today announced that it has integrated its
Linux-based Teatro-3.0 Set-Top Box (STB) software solution for IP-connected zappers on top
of the next-gen hybrid STB of TELE System Communications.

The announcement was made at IBC 2015, which is being held in Amsterdam from Friday,
September 11th through to Tuesday, September 15th. iWedia exhibits at the show (hall 5,
booth B40) where it will demonstrate the integrated solution.
The next-gen HEVC hybrid (DVB + IP) STB of TELE System is based on the MStar K5 family
of system-on-chip. It supports a range of front-end options (S2/C/T2), a smartcard reader
(two as an option), as well as HDMI, RCA, S/PDIF, USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Teatro-3.0, a STB software solution for IP-connected zappers, is based on Linux with a
User Interface built in HTML/CSS which uses specific JavaScript APIs allowing access to
digital pay-TV functions. The solution features DLNA (player and renderer), access to
"walled garden" Web and OTT video services (CE-HTML portals, HbbTV applications), as well
as Personal Video Recorder and Time Shift Buffer.
Teatro-3.0 is pre-integrated with main security solutions (DRM and CA systems) as well
as with major services delivery platforms.
"Teatro-3.0 is ideally suited at entry level hybrid STB," said Sunghoon Kim, VP Sales
at iWedia. "However, it does not compromise on connectivity features as it gives full
support to both home networking - through DLNA, and Web and OTT video services - through
HbbTV," he added. "There is thus a perfect fit between this solution and the next-gen HEVC
hybrid box designed by TELE System and we are delighted to have performed this
integration."
"Integrating our next-gen cost efficient HEVC hybrid STB with iWedia Teatro-3.0
software brings a strong value proposition to the market," says Stefano Piovesan, Sales
and Marketing Manager at TELE System. "Combining an iWedia software solution plus their
integration services capabilities with our latest HEVC hybrid STB design definitely
enhances the Time-To-Market for our pay-TV operator customers."
