Ethertronics' New EtherModule 1.0(TM) Plug-and-Play Solution for M2M Applications Enables Maximum Performance and Reliability in Challenging RF Environments

An Industry First, EtherModule 1.0 Leverages Company's Expertise in Active Antenna Systems Technologies with its Newly Released EtherChip 1.0(TM) Tunable Capacitor

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ethertronics, a leading technology company enabling innovative antenna and RF system solutions to deliver the best connected experience, today unveiled EtherModule 1.0(TM). Ideal for M2M and other wireless devices, EtherModule 1.0 is a turnkey, plug-and-play, active antenna system module combining Ethertronics' advanced antenna architecture and EtherChip 1.0(TM) tunable capacitor on a printed circuit board, for easy integration by wireless product designers. An industry first, EtherModule 1.0 is the latest innovation coming from the collaboration of Ethertronics' three divisions: antennas, systems and chips.

EtherModule 1.0 has a typical dynamic range of 20dB to deliver maximum performance across a wide range of frequencies and use cases. Given the combination of closed loop functionality with a proprietary algorithm integrated in conjunction with a microprocessor, the module is capable of dynamically sensing and optimizing the antenna system, without external control signals from the device. This approach provides tuning capability; seamlessly adjusting the characteristics of the antenna to its dynamic requirements - including frequency shift, hand, head and environmental effects, or more bandwidth. The result is a true turnkey plug-and-play antenna system that can be integrated into M2M devices, minimizing the need for additional engineering design and getting products to market faster.

EtherModule 1.0 also leverages the company's recently launched EtherChip 1.0 tunable capacitor utilizing Air InteRFace Digital Conditioning(TM) technology. The first in a series of building blocks for RF front-end module chips to provide more "smarts" to antenna and RF systems, the EtherChip 1.0 silicon chip enables characteristics of the antenna and RF performance to be adapted to the environment experienced by the antenna.

"There are a number of universal pain points for wireless product designers - from being able to deliver high performance in ever-shrinking form factors, to needing to quickly deliver new products to market, while remaining competitive and relevant. EtherModule 1.0 integrates Ethertronics' innovative active antenna, RF systems and chip technology into a turnkey plug-and-play module to provide maximum performance and reliability to M2M wireless devices," said Laurent Desclos, president and CEO at Ethertronics. "By combining expertise from our three divisions - antennas, systems and chips -we are able to provide designers with a way to differentiate their products and stand-out in a competitive market."

Measuring 35x15x10 mm, EtherModule 1.0 is able to cover one frequency or a wide range of frequencies depending on the needs - from 100 MHz to 3 GHz - including 2G, 3G and 4G cellular as well as Bluetooth, ISM, WiFi and ZigBee. Its compact size and ability to cover a wide range of frequencies make it ideal for a variety of applications, including M2M, tablets and other wireless devices. Ethertronics has already proven this technology in several M2M applications including medical. For example, a set of four advanced closed loop functions were combined in one medical device; providing accurate medication dispensing and inventories to help hospitals reduce inventory costs and improve patient care and staff efficiency. EtherModule 1.0 is a smaller scale version;  leveraging Ethertronics' expertise in active antenna systems to enable integration in any M2M device.

Ethertronics' EtherModule 1.0 removes a level of complexity for wireless product designers since they simply need to integrate the plug-and-play module into their wireless device, connect the RF and supply DC power.

PR Newswire's Business Technology Round-up, 13th November 2012

LONDON, November 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    LG receives innovation awards, Lantronix launches iOS print system and Equitable Life
goes mobile

    Electronics giant LG has been greatly honoured at the recent 2013 International CES
Innovations Awards
[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lg-electronics-honored-with-10-ces-2013-innovations-awards-for-smart-technologies-178998201.html ]
this week, after being awarded no less
than 10 prizes across a number of highly contested categories. Most significantly, the
company was given the accolade for creating the television industry's best video display
for its mammoth 84in Ultra High Definition LED TV, a product that boasts more than 8
million pixels, making it capable of handling the much-awaited "4K" content before it is
even on the market.

    LG also received the award for best wireless handset, beating off tough competition
from the likes of Samsung and HTC to claim the prize for the LG Optimus G. Speaking after
the prestigious event, LG CEO Wayne Park expressed his delight at the company's
performance, adding that "innovation and design are the foundation of our company."

    Lantronix, a global leader in M2M communication services, has announced the launch of
its new xPrintServer software
[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lantronix-launches-new-xprintserver---office-edition-delivering-ipad-and-iphone-printing-solution-for-business-users-178988271.html ]
,
delivering powerful printer connectivity capabilities to offices equipped with a whole
range of iOS devices, including iPads and iPods.

    The new software will give office staff the ability to connect with virtually any
printer on their network, making it easier for professionals using their own or company
issued Apple mobile devices to print their work without first transferring it to a desktop
machine. The real beauty of the software is the lack of need for a separate application
for iOS devices, with software automatically allowing an iPad to connect to an office
printer with ease. According to a senior analyst with Lantronix, the software "boasts the
same simplicity as its predecessor, whilst providing more robust enterprise features for
IT managers."

    Equitable Life has embraced the mobile world this week, after releasing a new
smartphone application for its Canadian customers, allowing them to make claims on their
health
[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/equitable-life-adds-a-health-and-dental-claim-mobile-app-for-android-178974371.html ]
and dental plans from the palm of their hand.

    The EZClaim app will be available for iOS and BlackBerry users, with Equitable Life
amongst the first companies in the world to utilise this new claims platform. Allowing
customers to make a claim using their mobile was seen as a natural progression by the
company's management team, who recognised the growing uptake of smart devices and reacted
by attempting to "provide as many claims submissions options as there is demand for."

Extreme Networks Announces Super Scale 100 & 40 Gigabit Ethernet modules for BlackDiamond X8 switch to power Data Centers and support of new SDN Applications

New 40 & 100GbE modules raise the bar on scale; company supports partner Big Switch Networks' Big Tap and BVS apps

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced new 100GbE and 40 GbE modules for its Open Fabric switch, the BlackDiamond(®) X8. High density 'XL' 100GbE and 40 GbE switch modules offer industry leading scale, supporting up to a million routes, Virtual Machines (VMs) and flow entries in the network.  Extreme Networks also announced support of Big Switch Networks Software Defined Networking (SDN) applications providing progressive and centralized methods to achieve network monitoring and virtualize networks. 

Extreme Networks 100/40GbE XL modules help to scale the network for a variety of highly virtualized multi-tenant cloud data centers, Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) and data center core deployments. The capability to scale to a million route entries, addresses and flows, and to logically segment Multi-tenant networks with L2 broadcast domains are critical elements in building next-generation data center networks.

Extreme Networks, with its open and modular ExtremeXOS® operating system, continues delivering on its SDN roadmap with support of two SDN applications: Big Switch Networks' Big Tap®, providing traffic monitoring and dynamic network visibility with flow filtering. And for virtualized data center networks, Big Switch Networks' BVS (Big Virtual Switch) application virtualizes the network by provisioning the physical network into multiple logical networks across the stack, from Layer 2 to 7.

Extreme Networks new 4 port 100GbE and 12 port 40GbE modules offer high performance and options for virtualized data centers where density, power efficiency and performance are mission critical.  The modules support 100GbE & 40GbE with non-blocking, wire-speed performance of Layer 2/3 services,  Layer 2/3 ACLs and flow flexibility with support of 100G-SR (100m) and 100G-OR (10Km) optics, a boost in scale of tables supported via an upgraded TCAM, and fault tolerance and redundancy with N+1 power support.   

"Infonetics expects strong growth of 40GbE today and 100GbE in the future with revenue combining to be $1.4B in 2016, as cloud and virtualized data center networks continue the trend of hosting rich services, storage and video," said Sam Barnett, directing analyst for Infonetics. "As vendors such as Extreme Networks offer increased scale and higher density for 40/100GbE with their data center switches, it increases the flexibility for virtualized network designs and the performance and capacity available to enterprise/SP data centers, cloud hosting companies and Internet Exchanges."

The company is showcasing these new modules, along with SDN applications from Big Switch networks, at its booth, #1000, at the Super Computing conference, SC/12, in Salt Lake City from Nov 12-15(th).  The BlackDiamond X8 is a high capacity modular Ethernet switch for data centers that was just honored with CRN's Tech Innovator of the Year award and has received Network Computing UK's  'Data Center Product of the Year' for 2012.

"The ECIX next generation Internet exchange network requires innovations on multiple levels," said Stefan Wahl, CEO of Peering GmbH and Managing Director of ECIX. "The options provided by Extreme Networks fit perfectly to our needs as the innovative designs of the BlackDiamond X8 and the Summit X670 switches combine to allow for superb scalability without costly modifications of the data center infrastructure.  High port density and availability of 40Gbe and 100 GbE, as well as the reserves per slot provided by the high performance switch engines and the option to use MPLS in the network reduces costs and the use of space at our locations. Our customers benefit directly from these advantages. The installed Extreme Network systems are the basis for the expansion of the ECIX services and open a path into the future without making compromises today."

These developments follow Extreme Networks performance leadership in the November 2011 Lippis Report evaluation of its modular data center switch.  The BlackDiamond X8 Open Fabric switch offered the highest tested10GbE and 40GbE port density to seamlessly support up to 768 wire-speed 10GbE connected servers in 1/3 of a 42 RU rack or 2,304 servers in a full rack.

Availability & Pricing:
Customer trials of the 12-port 40 and 4 port 100GbE XL modules begin in CY'13.  NTE list pricing includes: 40GbE 12 port XL module at US $6,000.00 per port; 100GbE 4 port XL module at US $35,000 per port.

EMC Announces Syncplicity Integration with SlideShark

Cloud-Focused Integration Enables Mobile Workforce to Deliver Full Fidelity Presentations from iPads and iPhones with Engagement Analytics

HOPKINTON, Mass., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

News Summary:

    --  Integration enables sales and marketing teams to seamlessly access all
        of their presentations for instant and accurate viewing on iOS devices
    --  Teams stay on the same page by ensuring their users have the most
        current versions of presentations available on all of their devices
    --  Extends remote-wipe policies from Syncplicity to SlideShark to protect
        sensitive information from loss or theft of mobile devices
Full Story:

EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today announced an integration of EMC(®) Syncplicity(®) with the SlideShark app from Brainshark, Inc., the leader in online and mobile presentations. The integration pairs the cloud-based, easy-to-use Syncplicity file sync, share and collaboration solution with Brainshark's award-winning app for viewing and sharing PowerPoint presentations with an iPad or iPhone - enabling mobile teams to have access to all of their presentations in the cloud and be able to present them professionally and reliably from iOS devices.

The integration provides a powerful combination for companies seeking to empower their distributed - and increasingly mobile - workforces, including sales and marketing teams, with up-to-date and high impact presentations.  With Syncplicity, users have access to their own personal presentations as well as presentations published across their teams, both inside and outside the corporate firewall, without any additional step required. Syncplicity eliminates version control challenges, ensuring that they have access to the latest version of presentations on all of their mobile devices.

Then, using SlideShark, users have access to a unified view of all of their PowerPoint files managed by Syncplicity to display them on the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch - with fonts, animations, graphics and colors intact. Users can control and navigate content, as well as connect to TVs and projectors to deliver truly powerful presentations. And with SlideShark's ability to track engagement, sales and marketing teams can truly close the loop by assessing usage, even with copies of the presentation distributed to prospects.

When deployed in conjunction with the recently announced Syncplicity Connector for EMC(®) Documentum(®), sales and marketing teams in highly regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, life sciences, financial services and energy can distribute presentations that require extensive approval processes and audit trails and know that changes will not be made in the field. SlideShark is compliant with Syncplicity's remote wipe capabilities, a highly demanded feature for information protection within the enterprise in case of lost devices and employee off-boarding.

Key Features

    --  SlideShark users will have cloud-to-cloud connectivity with Syncplicity
        managed files for hyper performance, thereby eliminating upload delays
        for mobile users.
    --  SlideShark users can browse and access all of the PowerPoint
        presentations within their Syncplicity account directly from their iOS
        devices.
    --  Syncplicity's remote-wipe capabilities extend to a user's SlideShark
        account, providing control to delete specific content in case of a lost,
        stolen or compromised device.
    --  SlideShark administrators and users who share files with others have the
        ability to track usage of shared presentations.
Innovative Cloud-to-Cloud Policy Enforcement

Syncplicity offers a rich set of security, centralized policy and administration capabilities that IT needs to maintain control and transparency over content that is synced to a user's device and shared inside and outside the organization.  Built for enterprise-grade integrations, Syncplicity's developer API not only supports sharing of content between cloud applications but also enables integrated apps to understand and act on policies and administrator actions.

The Syncplicity and SlideShark integration enables users or IT administrators to "remote wipe" content within Syncplicity - causing corresponding content in a user's SlideShark account to be automatically deleted without impacting the rest of the user's business or personal content in SlideShark. If a device is lost or stolen, or if a user leaves the company, content initially distributed by Syncplicity into a user's business SlideShark account can be deleted even if IT has lost access to the user or device. This cloud-to-cloud policy enforcement is critical for enabling secure content sharing between cloud apps and supporting BYOD in a business context.

Executive Quotes:

Joe Gustafson, CEO, Brainshark

"Skyrocketing mobile usage, easy access to cloud-based files, and SlideShark's mobile presentation capabilities are a game-changing combination - one that's empowering sales teams and business executives alike to reimagine the business meeting. Together with Syncplicity, we're pleased to provide mobile professionals with the ability to use their iOS devices to instantly access content in the cloud, prepare for meetings, and dynamically present and share important information."

Jeetu Patel, Syncplicity General Manager, Information Intelligence Group, EMC

"Professionals are increasingly going mobile, and sales and marketing professionals are leading the way. Syncplicity gives these mobile professionals access to all of their work on all their devices with no extra steps. With the SlideShark integration, users can now display and control presentations with full animation and fidelity on their iPads and iPhones. Syncplicity was built from the ground-up to satisfy the user and give IT the security, policy controls and admin tools they require to protect the business while transforming the way people work. This integration extends that commitment."

SANTA ANA, Calif., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rokform®,a leading manufacturer of functional and creative cases and accessories, today announces the availability of the new RokBed Fuzion+ case for iPhone 4/4S.

NETGEAR Debuts More Powerful Version Of Popular VDSL Application Firewall

ProSecure UTM25S firewall provides SMBs with interface options and greater scalability for advanced security features

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NETGEAR® (NASDAQGM: NTGR) (http://www.netgear.com), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, today introduced the NETGEAR ProSecure® UTM25S Unified Threat Management Firewall. As the newest addition to the NETGEAR UTM S series of firewalls, the ProSecure UTM25S provides two modular slots that fit optional interface cards, enabling IT administrators to custom-tailor the firewall to their specific connectivity requirements. In addition, like other members of the ProSecure UTM family of security appliances, the UTM25S integrates with NETGEAR ReadyNAS® network-attached storage systems, giving businesses almost unlimited activity log and quarantine capacity for forensic, regulatory and legal requirements.

As the second entry in the NETGEAR ProSecure UTM S product line, the UTM25S -- like its predecessor, the UTM9S, the best-selling appliance in the ProSecure line -- delivers comprehensive Internet security as well as high-speed Internet access through a choice of WAN connections-built-in Ethernet ports, an optional VDSL modem module, or a qualified 3G USB dongle. It also offers a wireless-N access point module and is a best-in-class UTM firewall gateway recommended to support up to 25 users. Targeted at small and medium businesses and remote/branch offices looking to make the move from a standard firewall to a UTM application firewall solution, the ProSecure UTM25S significantly extends the security of a network without the normally associated vendor complexity or costs.

"The ProSecure UTM25S is a huge asset to our clients in terms of deployment, maintenance and securing their interests from the wide range of malware scams inundating the Web today," said Eric Gorman, owner of Integrated Enterprise Solutions, Inc. an Information Technology services company based in New York.  "We are extremely pleased at the protection it gives our clients against these advanced attacks, while offering extensive management capabilities and an affordable price point that fits within our clients' budget."

In general, traditional all-in-one solutions claiming to provide enterprise-grade security protection have incorporated batch-based methods to scan incoming high-latency data, which can slow Web browsing to a crawl. To address this, many of these solutions attempted to overcome this challenge by scanning only a select few malware file types, or by avoiding Web scanning altogether, which opened up networks to malware-based attacks. NETGEAR ProSecure UTM S solutions address this issue with the patented Stream Scanning platform, which analyzes data streams as they enter the network.

"Because of the always increasing amount of latency-sensitive Web traffic, combining enterprise-grade security into a traditional all-in-one firewall platform has proven a daunting challenge," said Peter Newton, senior director of product management for the Commercial Business Unit of NETGEAR. "We developed the UTM25S as a direct result of customer feedback. It fills a strategic gap for customers that require all of the features of our UTM9S appliance, but have a higher volume of Internet traffic to manage."

Joining the existing 9S SKU in the UTM S series of appliances, the UTM25S expands on the numerous protections that the UTM series offers, to better ensure network health and productivity. Key features provided by the UTM25S include an application control/application firewall, anti-malware from email, anti-malware from web browsing, and spam and content filtering. It offers an SPI firewall and VPN tunnels using either IPSec or SSL. The UTM25S also features multi-WAN capability for load balancing and failover connectivity, with options including Ethernet, DSL, or 3G -- even 4G/LTE when paired with a NETGEAR Mobile Broadband Router (MBR1515 or MBR1517).

Pricing and Availability
The NETGEAR ProSecure UTM25S is available now with a 30-day free trial through a broad variety of NETGEAR PowerShift partners and reseller and DMR channels such as CDW and PC Connection. It has a U.S. list price starting at $1,000, including a one-year subscription to web and email protection subscription services without any "per-user" licensing. It offers 24/7 technical support and a lifetime warranty.

More Information
The NETGEAR ProSecure UTM series uses patented Stream Scanning Technology, which analyzes data streams as they enter the network against a full malware signature library - offering maximum protection with minimum latency. NETGEAR ProSecure UTM appliances have won top ratings in reviews from SC Magazine, PC Pro and IT Pro, and significantly outperformed UTMs from Fortinet, SonicWALL, Cisco, WatchGuard and ZyXEL in third-party testing.

Panda Security Launches Panda Cloud Partner Center 2.2

-Latest version of the partner console is specifically designed to manage all of Panda Security's Cloud solutions

-Panda Cloud Partner Center 2.2 enables simple customer lifecycle management from trial, to purchase to renewal

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Panda Security, the Cloud Security Company, today announced the release of its new 2.2 version of Panda Cloud Partner Center, an integrated solution for centrally managing computer security, which combines endpoint (servers, PCs and laptops) and email protection (for Exchange Server and cloud-based email). Panda Cloud Partner Center simplifies channel management through a central, Web-based console accessible from anywhere on the Internet.

Originally launched in May 2011, the partner center allows channel partners and service providers to grow their business by selling security software simply and with maximum vendor autonomy. With over a hundred new partners signing up with Panda Cloud Partner Center every month, the console lets service providers manage and monitor customers' lifecycle easier and take advantage of new business opportunities through better insight into license extension and cross-selling opportunities.     

The new console includes a wide array of solutions and enables simpler customer management and support. In addition, it provides partners with an always up-to-date pool of Panda Cloud Office Protection, Panda Cloud Systems Management, and now Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced licenses, enabling them to manage trial versions, full versions and renewals. They will also enjoy greater margins and discounts thanks to volume license purchasing, and will save time and money without costly onsite visits or management infrastructure overhead costs.

Partners will also benefit from exclusive special offers designed to increase customer loyalty and increase Partners revenue through upgrades and upsells. These offers will be of particular interest to Panda Cloud Office Protection customers who wish to also protect their Exchange Server enabling them to do so by upgrading to Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced. The entire process is managed simply in a question of clicks from the Panda Cloud Partner Center console and all technical aspects are managed automatically and transparently to the Partner and end user.

This way, customers who choose to renew their Panda Cloud Office Protection licenses before their current subscription expires, will have the chance to have their licenses upgraded to Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced. This will increase renewals and generate new revenue. Partners will also be able to view upcoming renewal information, managing them in advance and improving customer satisfaction.

Panda Cloud Partner Center simplifies access to information through custom reports and a full history of all license transactions (assignment and renewals). In addition, it generates automatic notifications about available licenses and licenses close to expiration, both through the console and via email. This simplifies IT security control, management, monitoring and maintenance tasks, while eliminating the need for onsite visits with its remote management capabilities.   

Channel partners who want to sign up and benefit from the advantages offered by the new Panda Cloud Partner Center only have to contact the Panda Security sales team or visit http://www.pandasecurity.com/enterprise/solutions/cloud-partner-center/ for more information.

AVG's CEO and Chief Policy Officer Author New Book Wide Open Privacy: Strategies for the Digital Life

AMSTERDAM and SAN FRANCISCO, November 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Groundbreaking book shows consumers how to play offense with their online identity,
reputation, and personal brand

    AVG Technologies (NYSE: AVG), the provider of Internet and mobile security to 143
million active users, announces that its CEO JR Smith and Chief Policy Officer Siobhan
MacDermott have authored the book Wide Open Privacy: Strategies for the Digital Life
[http://www.amazon.com/Wide-Open-Privacy-Strategies-Digital/dp/0985460733 ] - published by
IT- Harvest Press 2012. The book, which reveals how consumers can take proactive control
of their online identity, reputation and personal brand, is available starting today
online at Amazon [http://www.amazon.com/Wide-Open-Privacy-Strategies-Digital/dp/0985460733
] and in bookstores across the country.

    "Digital privacy has become one of the defining issues of our age," said Smith. "Given
today's cluttered, volatile and wiki-speed information environment, we all face daunting
challenges in managing our everyday lives online. AVG has a history of disrupting the
status quo in the interest of protecting consumers; we had the first freemium security
products and the industry's first active Do-Not-Track feature
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg2I2i4M-rA ]. Reflecting a significant evolution in
today's critical questions of privacy and security, Wide Open Privacy moves consumers from
mere protection to positive personal strategies to enrich the online experience across all
the connected devices of our world."

    Neither "idiot's guide" nor academic treatise, Wide Open Privacy responds to urgent
consumer demand for better and easier tools to understand and navigate the powerful but
potentially treacherous seas of e-commerce, online banking, social media, and cloud
content sharing.

    "None of us can afford to put our online fate in the hands of government or big
business. Neither can guard our most valuable personal information," said MacDermott. "We
need to take control of our digital destinies. Wide Open Privacy offers clear strategies
and tech-savvy tactics for consumers to achieve the necessary control and to live safer,
more productive lives online. These days, individuals need the knowledge that helps them
manage their identity and reputation in the digital world. Policy makers and corporations
need to empower consumers with policies that acknowledge their right to make their own
decisions when it comes to their online reputations, privacy and peace of mind. Until
governments and companies deliver that acknowledgment, Internet users need to play
offense-hard. Our book helps them step up."

    "Privacy is a shared responsibility. There is a role for laws and regulations; there
is a role for self-regulation; and there is a role for consumers to exercise control. As
the public policy debate continues about how best to protect personal data, Wide Open
Privacy shows how consumers can exercise control of their digital identities effectively,"
said Christopher Wolf, Founder and Co-Chair, Future of Privacy Forum and Global Director,
Hogan Lovells Privacy and Information Management Practice. "Smith and MacDermott have
provided an extremely important contribution to the privacy framework discussion. This is
essential reading for tech-using consumers."

    "Wide Open Privacy shows how Internet users can take back control of their digital
identities," said Justin Brookman, Director of the Center for Democracy & Technology
Project on Consumer Privacy. "Smith and MacDermott offer a compelling, and sober, analysis
of the many threats to privacy in the modern age, but they don't view privacy as a lost
cause. Instead, with a mix of policy analysis and useful tips, they advocate for a
user-centric approach to personal data, equally relevant to consumers and business."

iMedicor And Galaxy Health Network Ally To Form Nation's Largest Social Health Information Exchange Network

Strategic Alliance To Provide Secure, Interoperable Communications To Over 400,000 Physicians

NANUET, N.Y., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- iMedicor (OTCQB: VMCI) today announced it had entered into an agreement with Galaxy Health Network, one of the nation's largest PPO/MCO healthcare networks, to provide the advantages of iMedicor's Social Health Information Exchange (iMedicor SocialHIE) to Galaxy's vast healthcare provider network comprising more than 400,000 physicians, 2700 medical centers and 47,000 ancillary care facilities.

iMedicor SocialHIE, which features secure messaging services within a social/professional networking architecture, will offer Galaxy and its entire provider network "the most advanced Interoperable technology platform to facilitate the successful migration of health records and communications from a paper-to-digital environment in accordance with Federal standards."

The iMedicor SocialHIE/Galaxy platform is scheduled to launch in January 2013. The first phase of implementation will create a free communications network between Galaxy and its provider network. An upgrade to a full service subscription of iMedicor SocialHIE for the low monthly fee of $35 per provider will include the ability to create a practice, build a community and become interoperable on a point-to-multipoint basis. A second upgrade, available for an additional $35.00/month per provider, will offer a NHIN Direct secure email account, with unlimited use, enabling secure communication inside or outside of the iMedicor SocialHIE.

iMedicor SocialHIE allows for authentication of the subscribing physician and the creation of a practice, whereby permissions are granted to staff workers to replicate the dynamic of a live medical/hospital environment. Once a practice is easily created within the network, a community can be built or invited into the practice. The community can be extended to specialists, general practitioners, hospital departments, imaging centers, labs, insurance companies, clearinghouses or any healthcare facility or individual. Full service subscriptions will be required for participants to utilize iMedicor SocialHIE's practice creation, community development, and unlimited access to a HIPAA-compliant network that provides Interoperable point-to-multipoint communication between any Electronic Health Record (EHR) System, Practice Management System or Hospital Information System, regardless of the format used by the individual end point.

iMedicor SocialHIE also includes workgroups, specialty specific blogs, message boards, and the largest catalog of certified continuing medical education programs by some of the top medical schools, medical societies and other credible producers.

"This strategic alliance marks the culmination of over 10 years of our addressing the secure communication needs of the healthcare community," said Fred Zolla, iMedicor's CEO. "With the accelerated adoption of Electronic Health Records over the past 16 months, there is a critical need today for an easy-to-use communications system that is capable of transporting those records in a secure environment. iMedicor's powerful SocialHIE platform has solved that problem, and Galaxy is now providing the vehicle for making the solution available to the majority of the U.S. healthcare market."

"We are excited about the prospect of providing such a valuable service to our network providers," said P.J. Shane, President, Galaxy Heath Network. "This alliance with iMedicor will not only strengthen internal communications with our network providers, but also serve to provide accurate information regarding Interoperability and put us in a position to create the largest social community in the country for Healthcare. We are proud to be the catalyst to make this happen."

LG Television Launches World's First 3-D Global Media Platform; 3doo Achieves "Premium App" Placement on Newest LG Televisions, Projects Worldwide LG Availability in December

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- 3doo Inc., the first global platform to distribute content entirely in 3-D, today announced that LG Electronics, the world's second largest television manufacturer, is pre-installing the 3doo platform in its newest line of LG Cinema 3-D televisions sold in Germany, with worldwide LG availability projected in early December.

LG has further agreed to pre-install the 3doo platform on its "Premium App" section of its Cinema 3D TV, which delivers to viewers "the total-immersion brilliance of Full HD 3D picture quality, battery-free 3D glasses, 2D to 3D conversion, our Magic Remote and a virtually frameless Cinema Screen design," according to LG, which has shipped millions of 3-D televisions worldwide.

"LG's decision to launch 3doo on its newest 3-D televisions to deliver high-quality 3-D content to millions more television viewers is yet another significant step forward in our company's growth model," stated Michael Stougiannos, CEO of 3doo Inc. "With the push of just one button, 3doo will quickly and easily connect millions of LG television consumers, first in Germany and soon around the world, to ever-expanding and eye-popping 3-D content."

"With our industry-leading Cinema 3D Smart TV lineup, LG has set standards with regards to 3D user experience, Smart TV navigation and content availability," stated Caroline Funk, Head of Smart TV of LG Electronics Germany. "By pre-installing the 3doo platform in the 'Premium App' section of our latest TVs, we enable our customers to experience a truly amazing 3D marketplace leveraging all advantages of our award-winning 3D technology."

The LG installation of the 3doo platform follows on the heels of Panasonic's installation earlier in 2012 of the 3doo platform on its newest line of VIERA 3-D televisions in the United States, Europe and Canada, alongside Panasonic's other premium entertainment services such as YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and Hulu.

3doo also announced that its global reach on Panasonic's 3-D televisions has just been expanded to include major Asian and Middle Eastern consumer markets such as Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, as well as major Latin American markets such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Panama.

Using 3doo, consumers enjoy a growing library of free 3-D videos and will shortly also enjoy 3-D Live events and paid on-demand 3-D content. 3doo is the only platform that brings together content providers, electronic manufacturers, movie studios, television stations, and advertisers and connects them with the rapidly expanding mass market of the 3-D end users around the world.

3doo targets all owners of 3-D Smart-TVs, 3-D smart phones, tablets and mobile devices of all relevant brands worldwide.  Through signed contracts with major television manufacturers such as LG and Panasonic, 3doo aims to reach a potential customer base of 67 million 3-D TV units worldwide in 2012, and more than 350 million by 2015, based on recent Display Search data.

"The home entertainment industry has responded to the success of 3-D movies with a flood of 3-D products, but still confronts major problems such as the lack of sufficient available 3-D content; the need of 3-D content producers to access the necessary distribution infrastructure; and the inability of end users to access quality 3-D content," stated Stougiannos. 

He added that 3doo is currently in negotiations with other leading global television and mobile device manufacturers as well as established content providers to vastly expand its user base across all major markets worldwide.

3doo also plans to introduce 3-D commercials directly into user living rooms worldwide, creating a new sector for the global advertising industry. 3doo is also creating the digital space for "my3doo" 3-D social networking, to allow users to share their content and social networking activities in 3-D worldwide. A beta version of "my3doo" is currently available to Panasonic's VIERA television consumers.

3doo's internal access and usage numbers have doubled from September 2012 to October 2012 in categories such as banner ad impressions, total film viewings, total households and total gross contacts.

Producers interested in marketing their 3-D videos to LG and Panasonic 3-D TVs around the globe can sign up immediately - at no charge - at http://www.3doo.com.

Bodog Nation to Launch Recruitment Service in Asia

LONDON, November 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Bodog88.com, the Bodog brand's Asian facing business, has, in the last 12 months,
launched its own Live Dealer studio, expanded from 150 to 850 employees and also inked its
first B2B deals in both casino and poker software. Based and licenced in Manila,
Philippines, Bodog88 is one of a number of online gaming brands who have offices in this
increasingly important city for the industry. Other companies also in Manila include;
SportingBet, William Hill, Playtech, Unibet, Betsson and Ladbrokes.

    Bodog Nation, headed by ex-Pentasia consultant, Jade Forlani will now also have its
Head Quarters in Manila. Jade explains why:

    "The growth of both opportunity and talent over here is phenomenal and it made sense
for us to move our head office here as this was where we were doing most our recruiting.
Only a few months ago the biggest part of the job was selling Manila as a destination. We
will still focus heavily on showcasing this great city but as competitors also begin to
discover it we felt we needed to up our game and be in a position to offer the best
packages possible as well as offering real local knowledge which, as I am now a resident,
I feel in a much better position to do."

    Calvin Ayre, founder of the Bodog brand, added: "It's been a long time since I can
remember any city having such a buzz around it in this industry, especially one that's
embracing its position as an iGaming centre, similar to the way the UK did a while back.
Manila has always had a lot to offer in terms of nightlife and fun but now has fantastic
career opportunities to make it become a truly cosmopolitan city."

Webroot® Launches Mobile Security Solution for Businesses

Provides the Only Cloud-Based Single Pane of Glass for Managing both Mobile and Desktop Security in a Business Environment

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Webroot®, a leader in delivering Internet security as a service, today announced the launch of Webroot® SecureAnywhere(TM) Business - Mobile Protection, the only endpoint security solution to use a single, web-based administration console to secure mobile devices and PCs within a corporate environment . The newest member of this integrated Webroot SecureAnywhere Business platform of endpoint security solutions was developed specifically for small to medium businesses (SMB) that are looking for a mobile security solution that is easily deployable and manageable to answer to their security and protection needs.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121016/LA94090LOGO)

Only Webroot uses a single cloud-based console to solve the distinct problem of managing the security of employee devices - something that more than 57 percent of recent survey respondents reported as a significant issue with the rise of Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) in the enterprise. This web-based console also provides a view into an organization's desktop computers protected by Webroot SecureAnywhere Business - Endpoint Protection within the same view, a unique differentiator.

SecureAnywhere Business - Mobile Protection offers cloud-based security, over-the-air deployment and support for the most popular mobile platforms in the market - iOS and Android.  In addition, the solution delivers superior protection of corporate data against malware, lost devices and malicious websites and apps.

"We developed this product specifically with the SMB market in mind, to provide a security option for smaller organizations that might not need a full mobile device management solution," said Mike Malloy, executive vice president of Webroot Products and Strategy. "The goal was always to ensure that IT administrators could support a broad range of devices from the same console - making the addition incredibly easy for our current customers and the switch incredibly logical for our future ones."

Along with simplified management, Webroot SecureAnywhere Business - Mobile Protection provides market-leading security capabilities to provide robust data protection against the unique threats to the mobile environment. Webroot provides advanced antimalware detection powered by the Webroot Intelligence Network. This scans all applications, files and SD cards in addition to providing multi-layered, real-time protection to alert users of potential threats and unsecured device settings. Lost device protection capabilities also provide administrators the ability to lock/unlock, wipe, locate and trigger a "scream" to help users find, recover or immobilize a lost device.

In addition to the many benefits already associated with SecureAnywhere Business -- Endpoint Protection, the mobile solution also includes:

Unified Management

    --  Unified management from a single console for mobile devices and
        endpoints (PCs)
    --  Cloud-based (SaaS) management and protection
    --  Single point of support for Android and iOS devices as well as PCs
Market-Leading Protection

    --  Advanced antimalware detection powered by Webroot Intelligence Network
    --  Lost device protection
    --  Secure web browsing - automatically blocks malicious or phishing
        websites a user tries to access from their mobile device
    --  Call/SMS blocking - blocks unwanted calls or SMS messages in addition to
        blocking SMS messages that contain malicious URLs
    --  Application inspector - scans apps and notifies the user of those that
        access sensitive data they shouldn't, track device location, send email
        or SMS messages, drain the battery, or cost money
Efficient Performance

    --  Lightweight client, fast scans
    --  Minimizes battery, bandwidth and memory consumption
    --  Provides view of battery status and power usage by each application
    --  Monitors applications that are accessing the network
    --  Integrated Open Webroot technical support
Cloud-Based Security

    --  No servers or on-premise infrastructure required, reducing capital
        expenditure and administrative costs
    --  Infinitely scalable, unlimited number of devices can be managed from one
        account
    --  Fast implementation and free feature upgrades included
Availability

SecureAnywhere Business - Mobile Protection, which supports both the iOS and Android platforms, is available now for a FREE 30-day, no obligation trial that takes only minutes to set-up and deploy.

About the Research

Between July 30, 2012 and August 1, 2012, Webroot commissioned a study of endpoint and mobile security decision-makers in companies with 10 or more employees in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. Research Now provided respondents from their online panel of IT and business executives. A total of 741 people responded to an online survey hosted by Qualtrics. The margin of error for the study is +/- 3.6 percentage points at the 95 percent level of confidence.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MobileBits Corporation (OTCBB: MBIT), provider of SAMY(SM), the fast growing mobile marketing and loyalty network, announced today it will offer support for Apple Passbook in the SAMY Mobile Marketing Management platform to provide any merchant, retailer or brand with or without an app, the ability to quickly and easily create and publish branded mobile campaigns, promotions, coupons and digital loyalty synchronization to Passbook.

SAMY brand customers can push mobile marketing content originating through their existing SAMY account to help expand network reach to more iPhones.

At the core of the SAMY network is its Mobile Marketing Management Platform, a robust foundation that provides integration options to connect with multiple user touch points, the latest being Apple's Passbook.  Every deal, offer, reward or loyalty card created in the SAMY Mobile Management Platform can be automatically synchronized to Passbook with just the check of a box.  We believe that businesses will benefit from iPhone consumers that choose Passbook as their mobile wallet, without having to build or maintain a separate management platform to manage their content for Passbook.

Seven 2013 Cybersecurity Predictions from Websense Security Labs

Malicious mobile apps, government-sponsored attacks and sandbox avoidance expected

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- From mass compromises of Wordpress to a spear-phishing attack on the White House, there is no doubt cybercriminals gained confidence and momentum in 2012. To help organizations prepare for next year, the Websense(®) Security Labs(TM) today announced seven predictions for the 2013 threat landscape. The full report can be found here, which includes in-depth articles on mobile security, email security and Java exploits. Highlights include:

1.    Mobile devices will be the new target for cross-platform threats.

The top three mobile platforms cybercriminals will target are Windows 8, Android and iOS. Web-based cross platform exploits will make it easier. In 2013, threats to Microsoft mobile devices will see the highest rate of growth. Cybercriminals are similar to legitimate application developers in that they focus on the most profitable platforms. As development barriers are removed, mobile threats will be able to leverage a huge library of shared code. Attacks will also continue to increasingly use social engineering lures to capture user credentials on mobile devices. 

2.    Cybercriminals will use bypass methods to avoid traditional sandbox detection.

More organizations are utilizing virtual machine defenses to test for malware and threats. As a result, attackers are taking new steps to avoid detection by recognizing virtual machine environments. Some potential methods will attempt to identify a security sandbox, just as past attacks targeted specific AV engines and turned them off. These advanced attacks will remain hidden until they are sure they aren't in a virtual security environment.

3.    Legitimate mobile app stores will host more malware in 2013.

Malicious apps will increasingly slip through validation processes. They will continue to pose risks to organizations enabling bring your own device (BYOD) policies. In addition, jail-broken/rooted devices and non-sanctioned app stores will pose significant risk to enterprises as more allow BYOD.

4.    Government-sponsored attacks will increase as new players enter.

Expect more governments to enter the cyber-warfare arena. In the wake of several publicized cyber-warfare events, there are a number of contributing factors that will drive more countries toward these strategies and tactics. While the effort to become another nuclear superpower may be insurmountable, almost any country can draft the talent and resources to craft cyber-weapons. Countries and individual cybercriminals all have access to the blueprints for previous state-sponsored attacks like Stuxnet, Flame and Shamoon.

5.    Expect hacktivists to move to the next level as simplistic opportunities dwindle.

Driven by highly publicized hacktivist events in recent years, organizations have deployed increasingly better detection and prevention policies, solutions and strategies. Hacktivists will move to the next level by increasing their sophistication.

6.    Malicious emails are making a comeback.

Timed and targeted spear-phishing email attacks, along with an increase in malicious email attachments, are providing new opportunities for cybercrime. Malicious email will make a comeback. Domain generation algorithms will also bypass current security to increase the effectiveness of targeted attacks.

7.    Cybercriminals will follow the crowds to legitimate content management systems and web platforms.

Vulnerabilities in Wordpress have frequently been exploited with mass compromises. As other content management systems (CMS) and service platforms increase in popularity, the bad guys will routinely test the integrity of these systems. Attacks will continue to exploit legitimate web platforms, requiring CMS administrators to pay greater attention to updates, patches, and other security measures. Cybercriminals compromise these platforms to host their malware, infect users and invade organizations to steal data.

Quotes

"The past year illustrated how quickly the threat landscape continues to evolve, with attacks and exploits redefining the concepts of crime, business espionage and warfare. The risk to organizations continues to be amplified by the frailty of human curiosity. It's now expanding across diverse mobile platforms, evolving content management systems and an ever-increasing population of online users.

2013 will absolutely reinforce the fact that traditional security measures are no longer effective in thwarting advanced cyberattacks. Organizations and security providers need to evolve toward more proactive real-time defenses that stop advanced threats and data theft."

-Charles Renert, vice president of Websense Security Labs, Websense.

Activision kicked-off the celebration overnight as eager fans lined-up at midnight across an unprecedented 16,000 retailers around the globe from Sydney to Dubai to Paris to Los Angeles to get their hands on Activision and their award-winning studio Treyarch's innovative new release.  Anticipation for the title has reached a fever pitch and is expected to be the "biggest game launch of all time," as GameStop Tony Bartel recently noted. 

"From the very beginning, our goal with Call of Duty: Black Ops II was to deliver a new high watermark for the franchise.  And thanks to the hard work and creative brilliance of our team at Treyarch, I think that's exactly what we've done," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI).  "In addition to an amazing and innovative game, we're also proud and humbled to see the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops II creating yet another legitimate, pop cultural phenomenon.  To our millions of fans worldwide, who have driven everything from pre-orders to YouTube views, to midnight lines outside of stores worldwide to new levels, we just want to say, thank you. You are the best fan base in the world, and the unprecedented thrill ride that is Call of Duty: Black Ops II is all for you."

"From day one, we've pushed ourselves to make the best gaming experience of our lives and I am so incredibly proud with what this team has created with Call of Duty:Black Ops II," said Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia.  "Our vision has been to deliver the complete package - something for every type of player.  Beginning with the single player campaign, Treyarch introduces things that you've never seen in the Call of Duty franchise before, like branching storylines, non-linear missions and customizing player load outs; or multiplayer, where we've re-written the rules with an all-new 'Pick 10' Create-A-Class, Score Streaks, and entire suite of eSports competitive features like CODcasting, Live Streaming and League Play that further makes Call of Duty a spectator sport; all the way to our biggest Zombies experience yet, which has three modes of play by itself - it's been an absolutely amazing experience developing Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and now we can't wait to play it with our fans."

Delivering an epic scale that rivals Hollywood blockbusters, Call of Duty: Black Ops II also features a heavyweight musical lineup with contributions from Academy Award® winning composer Trent Reznor (theme), BAFTA nominee Jack Wall (score), and tracks from musical acts Avenged Sevenfold and an original collaboration by Skrillex and Alvin Risk.  Theplot-twisting, generation-spanning story, co-written by David S. Goyer, screenwriter for The Dark Knight and the upcoming Man of Steel, picks up where Call of Duty: Black Ops' Cold War era taleleft off, in its explosively cinematic single player campaign taking gamers to the year 2025, against the most sinister villain in Call of Duty lore.  Armed with branching storylines and non-linear missions known as Strike Force levels, which provides players a sandbox style gameplay experience, Call of Duty: Black Ops II affords players the opportunity to actually affect the outcome of the game, and for the first time in series history deliver multiple endings to this epic saga.  "Collaborating with David Goyer has been an incredible experience.  From the beginning, we had a shared vision to rewrite the rules of storytelling in the Call of Duty franchise and deliver a truly innovative experience for players," said Call of Duty: Black Ops II Director and Co-Writer, Dave Anthony.

Tapping into the heartbeat of millions, Call of Duty: Black Ops II multiplayer modedelivers a true package of innovations, including the all-new "Pick-10" Create-a-Class system that revolutionizes the traditional slot-driven system by allowing fans to gear up for battle by customizing an unprecedented number of combinations to best suit their play-style.   Further leveling the playing field for more gamers, the new Score Streaks system rewards all-types of players for helping their team win from capturing flags, securing objectives, defending teammates and more. 

Without a doubt, the most prolific multiplayer additions to Call of Duty: Black Ops II are the ones lining up to bring Call of Duty online gaming and eSports to the masses. Accessible to players of all skill levels, Call of Duty: Black Ops II multiplayer introduces League Play, a skill-based matchmaking system that makes competition fun at any skill level. Multiplayer also now seamlessly integrates a play-by-play "CODcasting" commentary system that allows fans to create their own eSports commentaries on games. And in a historic first for console gaming, Call of Duty: Black Ops II alsofeatures live streaming of League Play games on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, without the need for any additional hardware.  With the live streaming feature, players now have the ability to broadcast their Call of Duty: Black Ops II games to the masses in real-time on YouTube, so anyone in the world can enjoy watching the action. Call of Duty Elite takes the live streaming experience even further, enablingviewers to see the player card of the user that is streaming.  Viewers can dig deeper on Call of Duty Elite to see class loadouts, recent match data, as well as career stats across supported Call of Duty games on the Call of Duty Elite service.  Live streams of Call of Duty: Black Ops II are viewable via web browsers, mobile and tablets through Call of Duty Elite as well as individual YouTube user channels.  A verified YouTube account is required to live stream.  A valid Call of Duty Elite registration is necessary to view the streams and related information inside Call of Duty Elite.  Call of Duty: Black Ops II player live streams will be subject to limitations and restrictions. 

The complete package also delivers the fan-favorite Zombies game created by Treyarch.  The beloved and terrifying cooperative game mode pits players against an unrelenting horde of the undead. The Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies offering is the biggest to date, featuring three different modes to survive the zombie apocalypse.
