Polar introduces Polar Loop 2 activity tracker

Polar caters accurate activity tracking based on five intensity levels

MONTREAL, July 29, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Polar, the maker of the popular Polar Loop has today introduced Polar Loop 2 activity tracker. The Loop 2 builds on the well-liked Polar features, design, waterproofness, and the possibility to expand to heart rate-based training. Moreover, the Loop 2 introduces vibration alerts, smart notifications, and new colors and soft materials.

Polar Loop 2 resembles the sleek and award-winning design of its predecessor, the Polar Loop, with the same illuminating display consisting of 85 individually placed LED lights. The Loop 2 will be available in the familiar Smoky Black color made of TPU and in new colors Powder White and Sorbet Pink made of soft and flexible silicon. The wristband is customizable in size, secured with a high-quality stainless steel buckle. Designed to be worn 24/7, not only does it track the user's daily activity, workouts and sleep, it gently vibrates reminding the user to move if they have been sitting for too long. The Loop 2 even displays and vibrates for incoming calls and messages as well as calendar alerts. The Loop 2 can be paired up with Polar H7 Bluetooth® Smart heart rate sensor for live, accurate heart rate.

People leading a hectic life balancing work, family, exercising and social life can benefit greatly from the support and guidance provided by Polar Loop 2. By filling in their personal information such as age, gender and weight and choice of activity level, the user will be presented with an individual daily activity goal ensuring the most accurate activity tracking. The smart Loop 2 carefully detects daily activity, separating into five activity intensity levels: resting, sitting, low, medium and high. It also measures steps, distance, calories and sleep with highly accurate and individualized algorithms based on thorough research conducted by Polar.

Daily activity and training details can be synched to Polar Flow mobile app (iOS and Android) through Bluetooth® Smart for a quick glance at the user's activity status. The Polar Flow web service will cater a more detailed analysis and a comprehensive window to the user's fitness.

Tapping into Polar Coach adds even more value to the experience: should the user be training with a coach or a personal trainer, he or she can benefit from this free online tool to conveniently connect and share workout information. Third party connectivities with MyFitnessPal, Apple Health and Google Fit generate even more added value to Polar users.

Tarja Määttä, Segment Manager at Polar said: "In developing the Polat Loop 2 we held on to the well-liked features such as design, waterproofness and support for heart rate-based training. We carefully listened to our customers, and many of the improvements are based on this feedback, including added vibration alerts for a gentle wake-up and inactivity alerts. Smart notifications have been well received in other Polar wearables, and now they will keep the Loop 2 users in the know as well. In addition to all this, we have introduced the desirable color options Sorbet Pink and the unique and trendy Powder White. The soft materials guarantee the bracelet is perfect to be worn day and night."

Polar Loop 2 will be available in retail stores and online in the United States and Canada in Powder White and Sorbet Pink in July and in Smoky Black in September for the suggested retail price of $149.99 CAD. The Loop 2 is expected to be available globally in Powder White and Sorbet Pink in September and in Smoky Black in November 2015.

Upgrade of Model G1050 Offers Rich I/O and Connectivity As Well As Extensive Data Collection Capabilities; Perfect for POS and mPOS Environments and Other Highly Portable Uses

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Arbor Solution has added to its expanding lineup of tablets for the rapidly growing mobile market with the introduction of its Gladius G1052C 10.4" fully rugged tablet. Powered by an Intel® Celeron® N2930 quad-core processor, which is in the Intel Bay Trail line up, the G1052C is an upgrade of model G1050, offering both performance and specification improvements. This latest version provides improved CPU performance, outstanding graphic processing, and ultra-low power consumption.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150728/248169

"With a variety of data collection and identification technology modules made available and perfected on the previous vintage platform, our new G1052C tablet is perfect for many mobile and portable applications, especially POS and mPOS," remarked Brian Yurkiw, Arbor Solution vice president. "Other features making it particularly beneficial to this market are an integrated 1D/2D barcode scanner, an ISO 15693/14443A/14443B RFID/NFC reader, magnetic stripe reader (MSR), and a rear facing 5-megapixel auto-focus camera. The G1052C's multiple wireless communications, which include WiFi, Bluetooth(TM), WLAN, WWAN and GPS, facilitate real-time data transfer and processing, critical factors in POS and mPOS usages. In addition, we offer a desk dock for the G1052C that is focused specifically on POS applications."

Built Fully Rugged

Mobile applications often times can be punishing on a sophisticated piece of equipment. The fully rugged Gladius G1052C meets MIL-STD-810G military standards, offers IP54 ingress protection, and has an impressive four-foot drop resistance. Solid-rubber bumpers provide maximum impact protection for any use, whether in a sales kiosk, at a swap meet, during a trade show, or in a warehouse. Thanks to its hot-swappable external battery pack and long 8-hour battery life, the G1052C is in for the long haul, supporting a user so they never miss a sale or data entry. The unit may be operated in temperatures ranging from -4°F to 113°F, meaning it can be used outdoors in the middle of winter or during the sultry dog days of summer, and everything in between.

Ease of Use

Aiding its off-site/mobile capabilities is its sturdy, fanless, lightweight design, as well as a 23-key physical keypad, that includes four programmable function buttons for rapid manual data entry. A 10.4'' AFFS+ TFT active matrix display - with 1024 x 768 XGA resolution - offers a better visual experience. Model G1052CS is a sunlight-viewable version, for optimum outdoor usage. A 10-point projected capacitive touchscreen with exceptionally thin Corning® Gorilla Glass enables more sensitivity and more accurate touch response.

For POS applications there is a specific POS cradle with three USB 2.0 ports; two RS-232 ports; one each: Ethernet 10/100/1000 RJ-45 without WOL, DC-in Jack, RJ11 (cash drawer, 24V / 12V by switch), VGA port, and an optional SmartCard reader. It is also compatible with RAM mounts, delivering multi-angle adjustments.

Other POS-Type Uses

Other POS-type situations where the Arbor Solution Gladius G1052C tablet makes an ideal handheld device for gathering information are membership management in signing up new members and customer-relationship management, and the gaming industry for dealer ID management, data collection, and cash-flow management.

Other Features

    --  Intel® Quad Core Celeron® N2930 processor for high-computing

MBX Brings NVMe SSDs & Xeon® D Solutions to Server Appliance Design

Integrator Poised to Incorporate Next-Gen Components in New Customer Platforms

LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Server appliance contract manufacturer MBX Systems announced today that it is equipped to engineer new customer platforms with next-generation NVMe-based solid state storage and Intel(®) Xeon(®) D processor-based System-on-a-Chip products. The company has close relationships with component vendors, ensuring prompt access to new products, and has been actively testing the newest components for several months.

The technologies will accelerate performance, decrease power consumption, reduce hardware footprint and provide other benefits to ISVs and OEMs involved in network security, storage, video surveillance and other industry sectors that utilize server appliances to simplify deployment of enterprise software.

Next-Gen Solid State Storage

The expected fall availability of newest NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) flash controllers will enable the use of solid state drives supporting the NVMe storage interface standard, allowing hardware appliances to achieve data transfer speeds reported to be up to six times faster than 6 Gbps SAS/SATA SSDs. Eliminating the need for host bus adapters by connecting storage to CPUs via a PCIe link will also reduce latency and power consumption.

MBX has been building hardware platforms with SSD caching or tiering since shortly after these technologies became available. For business recovery solutions provider Unitrends, for example, MBX engineered a full line of backup appliances with category-first use of tiered flash storage that yielded 300% faster backups, 125% faster restores, 200% faster local archiving, and a 300% RPO improvement that multiplies the amount of data that can be protected every day.

Next-Gen Processor/SoC Products

The small form factor and architecture of Intel's new high-performance, low-power Xeon D processor-based SoC lineup provide a variety of opportunities to improve appliance design. Both the size of the mini-ITX board and the 128 GB memory support, for example, enable the Xeon D to be utilized for applications requiring a compact footprint or in clustered environments with multiple smaller appliances dedicated to different computing tasks.

The core design also supports exceptionally wide threading for such a small processor platform, making it ideal for high efficiency, high bandwidth appliance applications, while the Xeon D's fully integrated SoC minimizes the risk of isolated failures. That includes integrated 10GB Ethernet, again providing more functionality on a single chip as well as further shrinking the appliance footprint.  Intel's 4- and 8-core Xeon D processors are available immediately, with higher-performance 16-core SKUs to come.

MBX will be exhibiting at Booth #1242 in the Black Hat USA 2015 expo running August 5-6 in Las Vegas.

About MBX Systems

MBX Systems is a leading designer and manufacturer of application-optimized server appliances and cloud-ready solutions for ISVs and service providers worldwide. MBX delivers turnkey hardware systems that are 100% customized to the customer's specifications by in-house platform engineers, while also offering value-added services such as branding, software imaging, regulatory/compliance, global logistics and warranty support to relieve customers of all hardware responsibilities.

Epson Sponsors "Between Worlds" Exhibition at Leica Gallery in Los Angeles

Black-and-White Exhibit Printed on 64-Inch Epson Stylus Pro 11880

LONG BEACH, Calif., July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Epson today announced it is sponsoring the "Between Worlds" project, the latest series of Waterscapes released from renowned artist and photographer Henthorne. Partnering with Earthscape artist Andres Amador, Henthorne captured images where earth, sea and sky unite. The black-and-white exhibit was printed entirely on the Epson Stylus(®) Pro 11880 64-inch photo printer and is now open through Aug. 31 at the Leica Gallery in West Hollywood, Calif.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150728/248200

"Henthorne has a unique ability to capture water, clouds and shoreline images that lure the viewer in," said Lucie Milanes, director of marketing strategy and communications, Epson America, Inc. "Combining the distinctive talent of Henthorne's photography and Amador's sand artistry with Epson large-format printing helped to create an experience that the human eye is unable to capture on its own."

The "Between Worlds" exhibition showcases a four month long project on the wild cliffs of northern California that captures the collaboration of Henthorne's black-and-white epic exposure waterscapes combined with the earthscapes of artist Andres Amador. Balancing between minimalism and abstraction, the series captures a new intersection of ocean and earth - blending it, and in some instances, nearly obscuring it.

"In photography, the primary artistic process includes capturing and editing a photo, but it's the last step in the equation, the final printed output, that makes all the difference. When a photograph is printed it transforms an image into a piece of inspirational artwork," said Henthorne. "Printing up to 64-inches wide on the Epson Stylus Photo 11880 was critical for me to provide more depth to my work and make my photographic art engaging for the audience. Ultimately, Epson allowed me to bring my true artistic vision to life, to a place where the ephemeral meets the ethereal."

The "Between Worlds" exhibition is open Monday - Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from Noon to 5 p.m. through Aug. 31. For more information, visit the Leica Gallery website.

ChinaCache Unveils MPlus -- Wireless Communication Speed Optimization App

BEIJING, July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ChinaCache, China's leading Internet content delivery service and total solution provider, successfully launched MPlus, the industry's first Internet acceleration product.

This is a product that provides optimization specifically for wireless communications network traffic and can be applied to e-commerce, finance, information technology, social media and other mobile Internet sectors in order to tackle the problems of slow refresh rates and poor user experience at peak times or under complex network environment for Apps.

With over 17 years of extensive platform collaboration with carriers, ChinaCache continues to lead in the mobile Internet era. The development of MPlus, as a user-friendly App product can help a company to not only quickly win a user's heart, but also keep its competitive edge against similar companies for greater development room and more business opportunities.

Staying Relevat

Apps can only continue to enjoy use by meeting the user's expectations for functions, speed and quality. An App will be inevitably favored by users if it can provide high speed access and a smooth experience instead of having complications and lag time.

ChinaCache's MPlus makes a technology breakthrough in wireless transmission optimization. Through technological approaches of smart caching, terminal identification, dynamic data reduction, application protocol optimization and transmission protocol optimization, it enhances the transmission efficiency of mobile networks by 60%, transmitting dynamically high-quality data content in the shortest possible time. In addition, through the integration of a carrier's rear-end flow resources, MPlus takes another technological approach by combining the flow cell and mobile products together in order to form a customizable comprehensive traffic package, so as to enhance the performance and efficiency.

The brand new comprehensive traffic solution and leading-edge feature for the end-user wireless traffic cost reduction provided by MPlus turn out to be the perfect combination of physical acceleration and marketing power. MPlus has won the "Best Innovative Product Award" from "IT Times." It has also been applied by several well-known Internet companies, such as photo social media software Nice, In, and outpatient medical service platform "Good doctors online."

Experience the quality

Nice, with its "brand name filter" as the main selling point, has gained millions of users only a few months after being launched online. With a massive number of photos being shared by users, image refresh rate has become a big issue for Nice. ChinaCache took advantage of its professional network acceleration experience and applied MPlus to increase performance at Nice. By tapping into their extensive resources and high-quality network nodes, they optimized the deployment of mobile network environment and content adaptation for Nice, so that hijacking phenomenon within the mobile network was reduced for Nice's mobile terminals, while the image response time and thumbnail image table refresh rate were significantly improved.

In, another photo social media software, shares the similar issues with Nice. During the period of rapid increase of number of users, In uses MPlus to allow users to quickly open high-definition photos even in a cellular network environment to further enhance the user experience and their satisfaction, thus cementing their leading role in the sector of photo social media software.

The past two years saw the online medical service has crowded with many competitors. The acceleration service provided by ChinaCache MPlus allows "Good doctors online" users to safely and quickly consult with doctors, make appointments and follow up after hospital discharge.

MPlus will continue to evolve based on user needs.

Speck Releases Its Slimmest, 360° Military-grade Protective Folio Case

CandyShell Wrap features a dual-layer flip cover for all-around defense

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Speck, the creator of award-winning slim protective cases for smartphones, tablets and laptops, today announced CandyShell Wrap, a durable folio case featuring patented dual-layer design that wraps the iPhone in 360 degrees of protection. CandyShell Wrap is a design milestone for Speck, who engineered the all-around, dual-layer construction so that it exceeds military-grade protection standards, but only adds a total of .24 inches in thickness to the phone.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150724/241144

As smartphone screens get bigger, so does the risk of damage from drops, bumps, and scratches. CandyShell Wrap was created for the growing number of smartphone users opting for a case that incorporates a protective cover for the screen. It extends Speck's patented CandyShell design to a new, full coverage, 360° protective case using an innovative flip cover.

"This is the first time we've applied our military-grade protection technology to a folio for a phone," said Bryan Hynecek, Speck VP of design. "That means that the dual-layer design you trust to protect the rest of your iPhone now wraps around the screen, so it's safe knocking around down at the bottom of a bag or in a pocket with keys and pens."

CandyShell Wrap was cleverly designed to solve the problems with many folio cases on the market today. Some of its thoughtful details include:

    --  Dual-layer protective flip cover shields phone screen from scratches,
        bumps, and drops for 360° defense.
    --  A rubber hinge allows for easy one-handed use, and doesn't cover up the
        camera when it's folded back.
    --  A locking latch keeps the cover on tightly so hard or sharp items can't
        get in between the cover and glass and cause damage.
    --  Calls remain connected when the cover is closed so you can talk freely
        or use the speaker without opening the case.
    --  Complete, all-around protection means no edges are left exposed, a
        raised bezel protects the screen from impact, and rubberized covers
        shield the volume and power buttons.
CandyShell Wrap is available today at http://www.speckproducts.com at $49.95 for iPhone 6 and $59.95 for iPhone 6 Plus.

We're Speck
Speck is an award-winning leader of mighty slim protective cases for the world's top smartphones, tablets, and laptops. From iPad cases and iPhone cases to Samsung Galaxy cases and everything in between, we design cases that are slim, good looking and most importantly, the most effective protection possible.

Get set for the world debut of cross-platform gameplay between World of Tanks on Xbox One and Xbox 360

EMERYVILLE, Calif., July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The wait is over and the battle lines are drawn as Wargaming announces World of Tanks is now available globally on Xbox One. Custom built for the platform, World of Tanks on Xbox One fully harnesses the power of the console and brings a world first to gamers with cross-platform play between the Xbox One and Xbox 360 versions of the game. With the addition of stunning enhanced graphics and a new Player versus Environment (PVE) mode, the new generation of tank warfare has at last arrived.

World of Tanks on Xbox One delivers an amazing first-to-market function for console tankers with never before seen cross-platform multiplayer tank battles on Xbox. Furthermore, with a single Xbox Live account sign-in between the two platforms all tech tree progress and in-game research is preserved, no matter which Xbox console a player is using to access the fight.

"Across all platforms, World of Tanks has one of the most dedicated online communities of players and we are expanding that community as we break new ground with this revolutionary cross-platform play functionality on consoles," stated Denny Thorley, SVP of product development, Wargaming. "With this technological innovation we are able to bridge the battle between Xbox One and Xbox 360 tankers, and we're excited to offer players their first-ever opportunity to play across the two, together and seamlessly."

World of Tanks cross-platform gameplay delivers another innovation with voice chat between platforms and shared achievements through a single Xbox Live account. The game also ramps up the combat with enhanced graphics and lingering battle damage thanks to the heightened Havok damage physics.

The all-new "Proving Grounds" PVE mode debuts, providing the perfect entry point for new tankers and an excellent practice arena for existing tankers. Finally, players will be able to share every glorious victory via the full slate of social and streaming support offered on the Xbox One platform.

Find Your Perfect Moto Match with the All-New Moto G, Moto X Play and Moto X Style

CHICAGO, July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It might not be something we like to admit, but we're all in serious relationships with our phones.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150728/247192

We trust them with our most personal questions, photos, stories and secrets. They never leave our sides. Most of us have slept with our phone(1). And nearly 1 in 5 people would be more willing to give up seeing their significant other, showering or sleeping than having to go without their smartphone for a weekend(1). Now that's devotion.

But let's face it, most of the time, these relationships are one-sided. Our phones simply aren't as devoted to us as we are to them. They desert us with a dead battery when we need them the most, embarrass us during important meetings, and pester us while we're driving, demanding we take our eyes off the road to pay attention to them. And needless to say, most of the time, our phones rarely match our personal style. No wonder less than half of people say they are happy with their phone.

At Motorola, we believe everyone deserves the choice of a better mobile relationship. One that is personal, fulfilling, stands the test of time and fits your budget.

Your phone should know you by the sound of your voice, but also realize when you want to be left alone. It should offer a customized look that perfectly complements your individual style. It should keep you safe with easy-to-access, hands-free control. It should grow with you, learning your preferences and habits, getting better over time. And it certainly should be with you for the long haul: durable, water-repellent, and backed up with lifetime customer service.

Today we are announcing the next generations of our most popular phones -- Moto G and Moto X -- giving you the mobile relationship you never knew existed. The new phones feature best in class cameras, meaningful software experiences and personalization options - all at exceptional prices.

The new Moto G: The phone that's always there for you.
The new Moto G is ready to weather any storm with you, literally, thanks to IPX7-rated protection and Corning Gorilla Glass, so you're safe from accidental drops into water(2) as well as unsightly scrapes and scratches on your display. With an all-day battery(3), it won't ever bail on you when you need it most and it's ready to capture new memories with a flick of the wrist with a 13 megapixel camera. Personalize Moto G with Motorola Shells available in a variety of colors. And now, Moto G can complement your personal style even more with customization options on Moto Maker(4), our online design studio where you can pick the colors, memory and accents to make your phone as unique as you are. New in 2015, we're expanding Moto Maker into Brazil, where Moto G was the best-selling device for a year.

The new Moto X family: Finally, phones that love you back.
Announcing two editions to offer you even more choice:

Moto XPlay With up to 48-hours of battery life and a water-repellent design, Moto X Play will love you back day and night, rain or shine. Stay connected on your commute, at work, at play and whenever you need it most--and still have enough battery to get you into the next day. Take brilliant photos and stunning videos with its 21 megapixel camera, and show them off on the edge-to-edge 5.5-inch HD display. And living up to its name, get all the power you need for gaming, streaming and multi-tasking at the speed of life with a Qualcomm® Snapdragon(TM) processor.

Moto X Style Looking for a phone that doesn't compromise, offers powerful performance, and looks gorgeous all at the same time? Then the bold new Moto X Style is for you. We certainly wouldn't call it "Style" if it didn't complement yours, offering more customization options than any other phone on the market. Make yours a true reflection of you by choosing from a variety of vibrant colors or authentic materials including new Saffiano leather and real wood with unique grains. Immerse yourself in entertainment with an expansive 5.7-inch edge-to-edge display that's enhanced by rich stereo sound. And when your battery needs a boost, the world's fastest charging smartphone(5) will get 10 hours of power in just 15 minutes of charging with TurboPower. With all three of these new smartphones, we've used some of the most advanced camera technologies available, so Moto X Style now boasts one of the best cameras in the industry. You can take crystal-clear photos and video with the 21-megapixel camera or look your best in selfies or video chats with the 5-megapixel front-facing camera featuring a wide angle lens and selfie flash.

In the US, it will be available as a Pure Edition because you are getting an end-to-end Moto experience that hasn't been possible until now. With universal banding, you can now use the same phone on any US carrier. Plus, buying directly from Motorola means you get a cleaner version of Android, without clutter and bloatware.

How to buy & pricing that fits
This is our biggest Moto G launch yet, with availability in more than 60 countries throughout North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific starting today. Check your local websites for pricing, but one thing is certain, we've made sure that every Moto phone is offered at an amazingly competitive price and delivers premium value.

Moto X Play will be available starting in August in various countries across Europe, Latin America and Canada (sorry, it won't be available in the US, but we'll have more choices for you all later this year). Moto X Style will be available in countries across Europe, Latin America and North America starting in September. We'll share news for Asia Pacific, including more on China and India, later this year.

Gigamon Enhances GigaVUE-OS Software Platform

Latest Release of Visibility Software Adds New Security, Session Intelligence, Inline Bypass and Advanced Capabilities for Mobile Carriers

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gigamon Inc. (NYSE: GIMO), the leader in traffic visibility solutions, today announced the availability of version 4.4 of its market-leading visibility software, GigaVUE-OS®.  This release is at the heart of Gigamon's Unified Visibility Fabric and GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform offerings and offers a range of new security, session intelligence, inline bypass and advanced carrier-specific capabilities.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150209/174350LOGO

"Networks have become the most critical of business and IT assets, and now more than ever, having strong security and pervasive visibility into all network traffic is paramount," said Ananda Rajagopal, Vice President of Product Line Management at Gigamon. "These new GigaVUE-OS capabilities enable customers to deploy GigaSECURE, the industry's first Security Delivery Platform, which provides pervasive visibility of network traffic, users, applications and suspicious activity, and simultaneously delivers it to multiple security devices without impacting network availability."

New Session Intelligence: Application Session Filtering (ASF),
Application Session Filtering is a new, patent-pending GigaSMART(®) application that comprises a key pillar of the GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform. ASF provides a powerful filtering engine that identifies applications based on signatures appearing within packets that form the application flow of network traffic. Once positively identified, ASF extracts the entire session corresponding to the matched application flow from the initial packet to the last packet of the flow, even if the match occurs well after the first packet. This allows an administrator to forward specific "traffic of interest" to security appliances thereby optimizing their operational efficiency and improving overall performance.

The capability is especially useful in extracting entire sessions of interest corresponding to Web applications (such as YouTube, Netflix), business applications (such as database SQL traffic, Outlook emails with attachments) and many others. The ability to filter entire sessions of such traffic significantly enhances the productivity of security appliances.

New Security Features: Enhanced SSL Decryption
As part of continuing expansion of the popular GigaSMART SSL Decryption application released last year, the latest version of software adds support for TLS 1.2, SHA256 and increases the number of supported keys up to 4,000. With SSL traffic accounting for up to a third of all traffic in many networks, and network attacks via SSL expected to grow significantly, decryption of SSL traffic is becoming increasingly important to connected security devices to function more effectively. In addition, the capability to service chain SSL decryption with Application Session Filtering allows security appliances to gain advanced visibility into encrypted sessions flowing throughout the network.

New Security Features: Inline Bypass Advancements
Another key pillar of the Security Delivery Platform is the inline bypass capability that provides the flexibility needed to deploy security functions either inline or out-of-band. GigaVUE-OS 4.4 introduces the ability to perform asymmetric hashing of inline security tool groups. This capability is especially useful for those security tools interested in tracking conversations, such as those from a specific endpoint or conversations to a specific target destination, etc.

Empowering Carriers: New White-Listing and GTP Correlation Capabilities for Intelligent Subscriber Awareness
GigaVUE-OS 4.4 extends the scale of white-listing with support for up to 500,000 subscribers per white list per GigaSMART engine. Mobile carriers can create custom whitelists of specific subscribers using their IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) that can be used to identify security threats to a specific subscriber, attach value-added services to a specific subscriber, or conduct real-time analytics for a premium subscriber at scale. Stateful filtering on new EPC interfaces used in an LTE core network as well as traffic corresponding to GTP versions allows mobile providers to implement both intelligent subscriber awareness and advanced filtering to keep up with the growth in mobile traffic.

Availability
GigaVUE OS 4.4 is available now from authorized Gigamon channel partners worldwide.

About Gigamon
Gigamon provides an intelligent Visibility Fabric(TM) architecture for enterprises, data centers and service providers around the globe. Gigamon's technology empowers infrastructure architects, managers and operators with pervasive and dynamic intelligent visibility of traffic across both physical and virtual environments without affecting the performance or stability of the production network.

Announcing the Cat® S40 Refined Rugged Smartphone

READING, England, July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

     4G Android Lollipop Handset Combines Great Looks with Exceptional Rugged Credentials

                                   and Strong Specs  

    Cat phones [http://www.catphones.com ] today announced the Cat(R) S40 rugged
smartphone, a tough, durable device that looks as good as it performs. Designed to appeal
to the growing rugged smartphone market, which saw over 10m units sold globally in 2014,
the S40 is the toughest smartphone in the Cat phones portfolio to date.

         (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150728/246995 )

    A survey of smartphone users that now use a rugged phone, organised by Cat phones,
revealed that 80% had damaged a handset in the last five years. Half had cracked or
shattered the display, and just less than half had damaged a phone by accidentally
dropping or immersing it in water. And about a third had components, covers or other parts
of their devices break off, typically when dropped.*

    Separately, focus groups with professional tradesmen and outdoor workers, emphasised
that damaging handsets in demanding work environments is a common problem. More than half
of those spoken to had cracked or broken their phone screen, for example. The perceived
lack of attractive, rugged alternatives was a key reason for unsuitable devices being used
even though many of those questioned had damaged their phones multiple times.**

    The new Cat S40 has been designed to address these problems and appeal to the 85
million people working in construction globally, by combing superior rugged protection and
smartphone performance while retaining the looks of a stylish must-have handset.

    Stand-out features of the S40 include: 

       
        - Drop tested up to 1.8 meters onto concrete
        - IP68 and exceeds Mil-Spec 810G - Water, Dust and Shock Proof
        - Super Bright Display capable of being read in direct sunlight
        - Large Capacity Battery
        - Corning(R) Gorilla(R) Glass 4
        - Glove-On Working Technology
        - Wet-Finger Tracking Technology
        - Waterproof warning sensors lets user know when the phone isn't waterproof (and shows
          animation of how to correct this)
        - Dedicated app store featuring the latest apps relevant to outdoor working and
          lifestyles (as well as full access to Google Play)
        - Launches with its own range of Cat branded rugged accessories

    "Too many people are being let down and left out-of-pocket by damaged smartphones due
to them being used in work environments they were not built for," says Oliver Schulte, CEO
of Bullitt Mobile. "We recognised the need to use our expertise to launch a stylish,
rugged smartphone that offers protection alongside style and performance. With the refined
rugged design of the S40 we're offering a device that looks great, runs the latest version
of Android and offers the levels of protection our customers need."

    Retailing at 429 EUROS / 399.99 GBP the S40 will be launched in 60+ countries from Aug
1st, more information available at http://www.catphones.com

Corous360 Launches PLAYe -- Game Changing Platform for Hobbies and Entertainment

SINGAPORE, July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    --  PLAYe -- a 3-in-1 online-mobile-offline (OMO) platform that redefines
        the Asian play experience through curated content, on-demand concierge
        and interactive experiential centres
    --  PLAYe to ride on booming US$43.1 billion games and collectibles market
        in Asia-Pacific[1] to target one million premium users and US$200
        million sales by 2016
    --  PLAYe to be an integral part of Corous360's e-commerce Vertical Domain
        Cloud
Corous360 Pte. Ltd. ("Corous360"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Catalist-listed firm, DeClout Limited ("DeClout", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), has today unveiled "PLAYe" -- its new 3-in-1 online-mobile-offline (OMO) platform that will transform the way games and collectibles will be marketed, distributed and consumed in Singapore and the region.

PLAYe is a single, intuitive platform combining the best ways for consumers to enjoy their games and hobbies --  all in one place, 24/7!

Among its many key features, PLAYe serves as a digital personal assistant to the consumer showing the latest range of collectibles and gadgets and offering information on the newest games and products at the push of a button. PLAYe also allows the consumer to engage with fellow enthusiasts and experience that toy or game before purchasing.

PLAYe aims to combine one of the largest and most diverse collections of entertainment brands in Asia with specially curated content to engage fans across different platforms -- on PC, tablet or mobile as well as physical games stores which will be transformed into experiential centres to satisfy the touch-and-feel demands of hard-core enthusiasts.

"We all love fun and entertainment and the new PLAYe platform puts an incredible experience at every fan's fingertips," said Mr Kelvin Tay, Corous360's CEO.

"The many ways people like to enjoy their games or hobbies have come together in one mobile application (app) -- a revolutionary and secure service that is real-time and accessible online, mobile and offline -- in an exciting way for fans to connect with each other, enjoy curated content and to get that dream toy or game that they treasure without hassle or frustration."

Aside from benefiting the consumers, PLAYe is also good news for game retailers as it offers a new business model for products to be created and distributed. Through an alliance with strategic retailers, traditional retail stores can sign on partnerships with Corous360 to expand their sales through PLAYe's innovative platform.

Mr Jacky Choo, CEO of Epicsoft Asia Pte. Ltd. ("Epicsoft Asia"), a 51% owned subsidiary of Corous360, said: "We have invested much time and resources to develop PLAYe. As veterans in the games and collectibles industry, we are able to come up with a platform that offers both the technology and the human touch to create a unique experience to customers and add value to the community."

PLAYe will serve as an integrated e-commerce value chain that allows seamless transactions online, offline and mobile. At a later stage, the platform will grow to serve other forms of lifestyle entertainment needs.

For a start, Corous360 will be targeting one million premium consumers -- fans who spend between USD$100 and $1000 per annum on games and merchandises -- through its exclusive upcoming alliance of 100 retail stores across Asia over the next three years. PLAYe will first be rolled out in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan by the end of 2016. It will then be rolled out in phases across Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia.

Mr Choo added: "PLAYe will be a game changer for the industry as it will bring new value through a seamless eco-system that will connect retailers and users through a dedicated consumer-centric vertical. Through this integrated seamless and cost-effective platform, retailers will be able to enlarge their offerings and sales trajectories to a wider customer base."

"They can also see what is in the pipeline and make more accurate forecast of consumer demand, hence improving the efficiency of their businesses as well as the experiences of their customers who will never have to worry about delivery issues or items going out of stock anymore. PLAYe also helps retailers with customer retention."

The launch of PLAYe is in line with Corous360's overall strategy to be the leading e-commerce player in Southeast Asia.

"This new platform represents a new frontier for Corous360 as we strategically shift towards niche verticals to provide value-added solutions in the e-commerce space that will bring about new revenue streams and capabilities for the Group," said Mr Tay.

The launch of the PLAYe platform will kick off at the Funz Centre store at Orchard Central, which will be a showcase of the experiential centres that will be set up in Singapore. Funz Centre, a homegrown games and collectibles specialist with six outlets in Singapore, is a partner of Epicsoft Asia. Part of the Funz Centre chain of stores in Singapore will serve as experiential stores and convenient collection points -- an integral extension of the entire PLAYe ecosystem.

Ramos Officially Launches Its First Smartphone Onemos MOS1

SHENZHEN, China, July 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fearless, beyond the infinite -- at the 2015 Ramos Smartphone New Product Launch Event held in Beijing on July 13, 2015, Ramos officially launched its first smartphone, the Onemos MOS1. The smartphone maker announced at the conference that the product would become available simultaneously online and offline in early August. The phone will be available in three colors: champagne gold, moonlight silver and metal gray. Apart from the MOS1, Ramos also revealed that it would soon follow up with another new product, the MOS1Max.

The Smartphone, jointly launched with BYD, adopts the original five-edged crystal metal frame, a structure based on a process requiring 208 complex procedures including CNC, nano-molding, anodizing, sand blasting, among many other steps, to form a five-edged intermediate frame with tolerances not exceeding 0.01 mm, with a circle holding a square and a square hold a circle, in order to achieve the perfect feel when held in one's hand.

The front and back of the Onemos MOS1 are both made with double 2.5D curved glass, the Corning Gorilla Glass 3, a material generally reserved for flagship products. The fusion of the metal intermediate frame and the double 2.5D glass was achieved without the need for any plastic intermediary. The buttons on the Onemos MOS1 were designed so that the pressure needed to tap the button on the Onemos MOS1 is 2.4 Newtons, the ideal feel for user-friendliness. The phone come with a 1.9mm ultra-narrow gold frame and 6.6mm ultra-thin metal intermediate frame.

The Onemos MOS1 is configured with a 5.5-inch 1080P GFF AHVA genuine color screen, at 401 ppi - a level of definition at which the human retina no longer notices the pixels. A Qualcomm 64bit true 8-core high-performance, low-consumption processor ensures high speed and smooth operation. The device is equipped with 32GB ultra-high capacity storage, 2GB RAM and works with both TD-LTE and FDD-LTE double 4G systems. 

The Onemos MOS1 comes with a BYD 3050mAh super safe battery. By optimizing the power management algorithm, the battery life of the complete device is 20 percent longer than an ordinary battery of equivalent weight. The Qualcomm QC2.0 quick charging technology assures at least 15% of the full recharge is restored within 10 minutes. As for the photographic functions, the MOS1 is equipped with a rear 13 million-pixel stack-type lens and front-facing 5 million-pixel real-time lopicca camera with an F/2.0 super aperture capable of instant focus within 3 seconds.   

The MOUI 1.0 that comes with the phone, based on the Android 5.0 system yet with further optimization, features the concept of "zero pre-installation", meaning that the phone is not pre-installed with any third-party software that is, for most users, of no use and just an encumbrance, respecting users' right of choice. More than 3,000 details have been optimized which serves to keep the functionality simple and the handset easy to use while enhancing the aesthetics.

Ramos seeks partners in Southeast Asia, Europe and South America.

The MOUI 1.0 that comes with the phone, based on the Android 5.0 system yet with further optimization, features the concept of "zero pre-installation", meaning that the phone is not pre-installed with any third-party software that is, for most users, of no use and just an encumbrance, respecting users' right of choice. More than 3,000 details have been optimized which serves to keep the functionality simple and the handset easy to use while enhancing the aesthetics.

Videotron enters Gigabit/s territory!

After being the first to offer most Quebec consumers VERY high-speed Internet access, Videotron is now providing 1 Gbps access in a Montréal pilot project

MONTRÉAL, July 27, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Having already made Fibre Hybrid 120 and Fibre Hybrid 200 Internet access services available to nearly 2.9 million households and businesses, Videotron is pushing the envelope still further by enabling households and businesses in the Greater Montréal area to reach and even exceed 1 Gigabit/s.

The move to offer customers the fastest possible speeds confirms Videotron's status as the industry leader.

"It is with great pride that we announce today that we have passed another milestone in the history of Videotron Internet service," said Manon Brouillette, President and CEO of Videotron. "We have always been a trailblazer in this area. Over the past 10 years, we have introduced a series of high-speed Internet access services, each faster than the last, in order to meet consumers' steadily expanding needs."

The ultra-fast speeds of the future - now!
Testing of the new service, which supports speeds of 1,000 Mbps or more under certain conditions, began in Montréal-area homes and businesses several months ago.

The pilot project's results thus far confirm once again the reliability and robustness of Videotron's hybrid network and its ability to deliver ever more advanced services to our customers, another example of the infinite developmental potential of Videotron's network.

The service now being tested is supported by DOCSIS 3.0 technology, the use of new modems and optimized network architecture.

DOCSIS 3.1, which should be available in 2016, will allow still faster speeds. This new network upgrade will equip Videotron to effectively meet spiralling daily Internet use by consumers, fuelled by the proliferation of Internet-connected devices and the explosive growth of television streaming services, which are changing home entertainment habits. And much more is just around the corner, including home automation and the Internet of Things.

"Reaching the gigabit per second threshold in this technological test makes the potential of our state-of-the-art network that much more palpable," added Manon Brouillette. "We are planning to introduce the new service commercially and details of the roll-out will be announced at a later date."

VERY high-speed Fibre Hybrid access available across most of Videotron's service area
Videotron, the only player to offer download speeds of up to 200 Mbps in most of its service area, is already taking the Internet experience to the next level and constantly anticipating its customers' growing needs.

At these speeds, all members of the family can use the Internet to the max at the same time, taking advantage of the best in entertainment, accessing all manner of HD content, and communicating with friends and family via photos, videos and video calls.

Videotron (http://www.videotron.com), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quebecor Media Inc., is an integrated communications company engaged in cable television, interactive multimedia development, Internet access, cable telephone and mobile telephone services. Videotron is a leader in new technologies with its illico interactive television service and its broadband network, which supports high-speed cable Internet access, analog and digital cable television, and other services. As of March 31, 2015, Videotron was serving 1,770,600 cable television customers, including 1,555,500 Digital TV subscribers. Videotron is also the Québec leader in high-speed Internet access, with 1,543,100 subscribers to its cable service as of March 31, 2015.

As of the same date, Videotron had 662,100 subscriber connections to its mobile telephone service and was providing cable telephone service to 1,344,600 Québec households and organizations. For the tenth consecutive year, Videotron was ranked as Québec's most respected telecommunications company, based on a Léger survey.

2045Tech Launches Floome in the U.S., The Smartphone Breathalyzer That Doubles As a Drinking Companion

Pre-orders begin today at Floome.com with free shipping; full retail availability begins August 7

NEW YORK, July 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Italian start-up 2045Tech S.r.l. announced today U.S. pricing and availability for Floome, a portable smartphone breathalyzer that keeps users in check while they are out having fun.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150724/242254

Floome is easy to use, making it simple for users to "just blow." Compatible with iOS, Android and Windows smartphones, the accompanying Floome app - available in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Windows Marketplace, respectively - offers a simple and intuitive user interface that delivers estimates and solutions regarding the user's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) in a matter of seconds. The app also features a tutorial video to correctly guide new users in setting up and using Floome.

Design and Performance

Floome is a high-precision smartphone breathalyzer that combines form and function. Compact and light with an exquisite, sleek Italian design for the modern-day mobile user, Floome utilizes the same sensor as found in breathalyzers used by law enforcement officers, as well as a new proprietary vortex technology. This technology measures a user's BAC to deliver precise estimates directly to their smartphone*.

Floome provides users with an estimated time of recovery based on the individual's profile and current BAC results, and is completely customized based on the user's unique profile to results with greater precision and accuracy. Floome also makes for convenient, easy, on-the-go use since it requires no battery recharge or replacement.

Stay Safe While Being Social

If you drink, Floome - this smartphone breathalyzer enhances the user's social experiences by enabling them to be smarter, safer and always connected. With a drinking companion in tow such as Floome, there will always be an alternative to get users home safe and sound. If no designated driver is available, it no longer means one cannot be found quickly and easily. Floome users can send their BAC and map location to friends, or call a taxi with a simple swipe.

Floome provides convenient information on nearby restaurants to satisfy a midnight craving or lower one's BAC before heading home. It also keeps users' health in check by documenting alcohol intake using the Diary function to capture users' weekly activities.

"We designed Floome to help people have fun yet drink responsibly," said Fabio Penzo, CEO of 2045Tech. "Our mission at 2045Tech is to develop products that help consumers improve their lives through technology, and Floome does just that, one blow at a time."

Floome is currently available in two colors: red and black, and retails for $99. Pre-orders begin today at http://www.floome.com with free shipping, and full retail availability will begin starting August 7.

Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses Prescription Safety Eyewear Now Available

Safety Standard Expands Industrial Opportunities for M100 Smart Glasses

ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), a leading supplier of Video Eyewear and Smart Glasses products in the consumer, enterprise, and entertainment markets, is pleased to announce that Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses are now available for the first time in a prescription capable safety glass format.  Industry leader Rochester Optical has officially launched its ANSI (American National Standards Institute) rated safety glasses for the Vuzix® M100. The safety glasses with side shields successfully met ANSI/ISEA (International Safety Equipment Association) Z87.1-2010 standards and are available to innovative companies utilizing Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses in the workplace. Rochester Optical is the first and only optical manufacturer to offer prescription safety glasses for Vuzix M100 currently.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150727/245619

"This safety standard is excellent news for the ongoing development and global sales of Vuzix," noted Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix. "Our devices are used throughout industry and having glasses that not only allow for prescription lenses, but also have the Z87.1-2010 rating gives us an even stronger case for use in challenging enterprise environments."

Patrick Ho, CEO of Rochester Optical commented, "We are delighted to be working with and supporting Vuzix. Securing the rating is part of our ongoing program to help leading manufacturers solve their safety eyeglasses and industrial smart eyewear problems. Our objective is to help remove any barriers to smart glasses adoption by leading the way with robust safety standards and excellent quality. This is another ground-breaking step forward."

The availability of Z87.1-2010 certified eyeglasses for the M100 smart glasses will allow companies conducting pilots to roll out programs to more users and ultimately into broader adoption without compromising worker safety.

Employees view the smart glasses display frequently and for long durations. Therefore, in addition to safety, visual acuity, comfort and fashion are critical. Rochester Optical's Smart GOLD(TM) Lenses minimize eyestrain and eye fatigue, allowing Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses to be worn comfortably for extended periods of time. Smart GOLD((TM)) Lenses compensate for the unique visual demands of smart glasses. Whereas normal prescription lenses are not optimized for devices using a Heads Up Display (HUD) such as the Vuzix M100, Smart GOLD Lenses provide specific adjustments - unique to a user's eyes - for the upper corners of a lens where a HUD is located. This greater visual clarity may help minimize eyestrain and eye fatigue for smart glass wearers. By creating an additional, optimized optical center where the HUD is viewed and compensating to balance binocular vision, Smart GOLD eliminates prismatic effects and off axis aberrations, providing continuous, comfortable visual acuity.
