TI ZigBee® wireless network processor first to offer ZigBee Smart Energy, ZigBee Home Automation and ZigBee Light Link standards for a single end-device
Seamless user experience between the three ZigBee standards for smart grid infrastructure, home appliances and connected lighting networks
DALLAS, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN), leading the industry with the most complete wireless connectivity portfolio for embedded applications, today announced that the CC2538 is the industry's first ZigBee(®) wireless network processor to offer the three most popular ZigBee standards for one end-device (ZigBee Smart Energy(TM), ZigBee Home Automation(TM) and ZigBee Light Link(TM)). Now a single end-equipment can support these three standards, offering a seamless user experience with fast switching between each standard making it seem like concurrent operation. In turn, manufacturers of smart meters, home appliances, home gateways and connected lighting products are able to deliver better quality of service.
The CC2538 ZigBee network processor and Z-Stack(TM) 2.5 with ZigBee and ZigBee PRO support offer the broadest feature set, which can be tailored for specific end-device(s). With a CC2538-enabled device, consumers can more easily network within their homes as well as monitor and interface to the smart grid to save money and energy. The CC2538 features a robust IEEE 802.15.4 radio and a powerful ARM(®) Cortex(TM)-M3 microcontroller system. All security operations are handled by dedicated accelerators, leaving enough processing power and memory to handle multiple ZigBee standards concurrently.
"The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) requires ZigBee devices that can easily network with deployed ZigBee-enabled end-products for smart grid infrastructure, home automation and connected lighting networks. By delivering a ZigBee wireless network processor that supports the three most popular ZigBee standards, we are raising the bar for functionality and efficiency and enabling manufacturers' products to interoperate with the existing ZigBee devices on the market," said Oyvind Birkenes, general manager, Wireless Connectivity Solutions, TI.
Availability
A CC2538 development platform is sampling to early adopters through the low power RF developer network now. Volume production and sale through authorized distributors is expected in 1Q 2013.
The CC2538 will be demonstrated at electronica 2012 in Messe Munchen, Munich, Germany, in the TI booth 420 in Hall A4. For more information on the CC2538, contact TI at smartenergy@list.ti.com.

Multi-Platfrom App Toolkit Vendor, 5app, Provides Guidance for CTOs Looking to Reduce Costs for the Rapid Development of Enterprise Apps
LONDON, November 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
5app - http://www.fiveapp.com - the app toolkit vendor, has today released expert
guidance for CTOs looking to commission a mobile enterprise app
[http://www.fiveapp.com/business/enterprise-app ] for their business, but who struggle to
understand the extortionate price tags often associated with the development process.
Organisations are increasingly looking at cost-effective ways in which to interact with a
mobile workforce and 5app advises CTOs to be vigilant when deciding how to go about the
rapid development [http://www.fiveapp.com/business/rapid-development ] of multi-platform
apps [http://www.fiveapp.com/business/multi-platform-app ] or risk facing large
development fees.
Dr Tim King, Chief Technology Officer at 5app, explains, "Whilst there are no hard and
fast rules when it comes to developing an enterprise app, there are four key areas that
impact directly on the cost of developing a robust and reliable multi-platform app. By
being made aware of potential cost-saving processes, CTOs can avoid unnecessary
expenditure, especially when it comes to deploying across multiple mobile platforms and
operating systems."
For CTOs looking to exploit the enterprise app development market and invest in the
rapid development of an app, four key areas to carefully consider are:
1) Determine your target devices right at the start, covering both OS and
screen resolutions. Don't start on iPhone and then work round to the others as costs
can double or triple.
2) Consider a single source in HTML, CSS and Javascript and use a framework that
supports this.
3) Consider the communication requirements. For example. Ajax doesn't work well
with mobile data connections because they are unreliable.
4) Ensure that your chosen framework provides high-quality debugging to get the
job done faster.

DALLAS, Pa., Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Net Agency, Inc.

The acquisition will shift DNA from a formerly search-centric firm, to a robust search and digital marketing agency. DNA will gain Plaid Skirt Marketing's digital marketing expertise, particularly in product branding and social media, while expanding Plaid Skirt Marketing's digital platform.
A key element in the acquisition is the appointment of Plaid Skirt Marketing's president Skip Graham as DNA's chief strategy officer.

Suspect Detection Systems Sells Cogito Technology to Private Security Firm in Major World Nation
NEW YORK, November 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Suspect Detection Systems Inc., (OTCBB: SDSS), a developer of counter terror and crime
prevention technology, announced today that the company has sold multiple units of the
Cogito automated interrogation system to a private sector security firm in one of the
world's largest nations.
The sale was completed in the same nation in which Cogito technology is currently
being certified for use by federal law enforcement. The marketing and distribution company
responsible for introducing Cogito to the private sector security industry is not the same
defense contractor working to certify Cogito for use by law enforcement agencies.
According to the representing agent responsible for commercial private sector sales,
the purchasing firm has significant clients including the nation's largest energy company.
Cogito will be used to interrogate employees including management in ongoing efforts to
prevent and solve cases of industrial espionage.
Suspect Detection Systems has already received the first payment for the Cogito Units.
"The sale proves once again that Cogito can be used to identify individuals with the
distinct intent to cause, whether those individuals are known criminals or trusted staff
members," said Gil Boosidan, CEO of Suspect Detection Systems Inc. "I am hopeful that the
usage of Cogito technology by a major private sector security firm can aid in the full
certification of Cogito technology for national security as well."
About Suspect Detection Systems
Suspect Detection Systems Inc., through its subsidiary Suspect Detection Systems Ltd.,
is a developer of proprietary counter terrorism and crime prevention technology designed
to identify threats in real-time, and prevent incidents before they are carried out. The
technology detects the hidden "hostile intent" of assailants - before they commit their
intended acts - with a high degree of accuracy. The system can also be used after a crime
is committed to quickly identify criminals from among a general population pool, including
suspects.

The sale was completed in the same nation in which Cogito technology is currently
being certified for use by federal law enforcement. The marketing and distribution company
responsible for introducing Cogito to the private sector security industry is not the same
defense contractor working to certify Cogito for use by law enforcement agencies.
According to the representing agent responsible for commercial private sector sales,
the purchasing firm has significant clients including the nation's largest energy company.
Cogito will be used to interrogate employees including management in ongoing efforts to
prevent and solve cases of industrial espionage.
Suspect Detection Systems has already received the first payment for the Cogito Units.
"The sale proves once again that Cogito can be used to identify individuals with the
distinct intent to cause, whether those individuals are known criminals or trusted staff
members," said Gil Boosidan, CEO of Suspect Detection Systems Inc. "I am hopeful that the
usage of Cogito technology by a major private sector security firm can aid in the full
certification of Cogito technology for national security as well."

Two All-New Redesigned Slingbox® Models Now Available In Canada
Slingbox 500 and Slingbox 350 Deliver Unprecedented Full 1080p HD-Quality Streaming of TV Content Anywhere
Slingbox 500 Sets New Standard with Integrated Wi-Fi, HDMI and Provides New Platform for Delivery of Personal Content to the TV
TORONTO, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Slingbox 500 and Slingbox 350, the newest retail products to allow consumers to watch their TV anywhere, will be available today in leading Canadian retailers including Best Buy, Future Shop and London Drugs.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121010/MM90043-c)
Both Slingbox models are completely redesigned and deliver best-in-class, up to full 1080p HD-quality, live streaming of your favorite TV shows, sporting events, recorded programming and premium content to smartphones, tablets, laptops and connected devices. In addition, the Slingbox 500 introduces new features, including Wi-Fi and HDMI, as well as a platform for delivering personal content to the TV, a first for any Slingbox product.
The latest portable devices and high-speed wireless networks give consumers access to video content wherever they go. Now the Slingbox 500 and Slingbox 350 raise the bar by delivering a superior HD quality video experience, making it easy for them to watch and control their home TV -- virtually anywhere.
"Slingbox is still the best way to extend the entire living room TV experience anywhere," said Sling Media's Senior Vice President and General Manager, Raghu Tarra. "We've redesigned our Slingbox products from the ground up, adding features and enhancements that make them easier to set up and use while creating the highest performing products on the market. With these new product introductions, Sling Media continues to evolve and disrupt the category we created."
With the proliferation of TV streaming services, consumers are finding new ways to watch TV but are confused by the many options in this highly fragmented market. Only Slingbox delivers your entire living room TV experience regardless of where you are without requiring additional subscription fees. Sports fans can watch their hometown teams' live games from another room in the house on a tablet, or in another country as the action happens. Frequent travelers can keep up with their favorite shows or local news. Busy parents can catch up on recorded shows while waiting for their kids to finish practice or while enjoying what little downtime they have throughout the day. Slingbox makes it easy for consumers to watch their favorite shows on the go, using the portable devices they already own and love.
How They Work
The Slingbox 500 features built-in Wi-Fi and integrated IR emitters for controlling a set-top box. It has HDMI and component, as well as composite, inputs/outputs. This makes set-up anywhere in the home clean, simple and straightforward.
The Slingbox 500 is the foundation of a growing set of features for Slingbox customers. The hardware platform not only has the ability to placeshift content, making a live content stream available anywhere, but can also receive content and display it on the TV. The first example of this is SlingProjector®. SlingProjector makes it easy for anyone to wirelessly display their personal media, such as photos, from their smartphone onto the big screen. Look to Sling Media to provide Slingbox 500 customers with other exciting ways to display content on their television screens in the coming months.
The Slingbox 350 offers Sling Media's highest quality, proven "TV Anywhere" technology at a cost-effective price. The Slingbox 350 features 1080p, HD-quality streaming on compatible devices, making it a value leader. The sleek, industrial design combined with integrated IR emitters makes it a compact, unique and easy-to-use addition to any home entertainment center.
In conjunction with the introduction of these two new Slingbox products, Sling Media is also rolling out new SlingPlayer® software clients across its desktop and mobile platforms. In addition, SlingPlayer software for iOS, Android and Windows Phone is now on sale for $14.99, a savings of 50 percent, as part of a special launch offer.

OmniVision Announces Cost-Effective 5-Megapixel CameraChip(TM) Sensor for Video Centric Applications
OV5656 Leverages Improved OmniBSI+(TM) Pixel to Deliver Full-Resolution High-Speed Photography at 30 Frames Per Second
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced the OV5656, a high performance, cost-effective 5-megapixel CameraChip sensor for growing smartphone, tablet and digital video camera (DVC) markets. The OV5656 utilizes OmniVision's improved and cost-competitive OmniBSI+ pixel architecture to deliver full-resolution, high-speed photography at 30 frames per second (FPS) and high definition (HD) video, making it an attractive solution for a wide range of video-centric applications.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121105/SF05751)
"Industry reports are predicting an annual demand of more than 450 million 5-megapixel image sensors over the next three years, and the OV5656's high performance and competitive cost structure make it a highly desirable camera solution for OEMs across multiple markets," said Vinoo Margasahayam, senior product marketing manager at OmniVision. "Compared to the previous-generation OV5650, the OV5656 delivers several performance improvements, including full resolution, high-speed 5-megapixel photography at 30 FPS, a 28 percent improvement in full-well capacity and significantly improved dynamic range in a smaller die size."
The 1/3.2-inch OV5656 utilizes advanced 1.75-micron OmniBSI+ pixel architecture. The sensor's integrated scaler allows it to record 1080p HD video at 30 FPS with electronic image stabilization (EIS) while maintaining full field-of-view (FOV).

Ruckus Delivers Smarter Wi-Fi Solutions to Help Service Providers Manage High-Density Wi-Fi Crowds
New Market Requirement Emerging to Support Thousands of Simultaneous Wi-Fi Users in Stadiums, Arenas, Auditoriums, Airports and Other High-Density Locations
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- WBA Wi-Fi Global Congress -- Ruckus Wireless(TM) today introduced new advanced Smart Wi-Fi products, technologies, professional services and training packages that address the growing challenges faced by service providers to support thousands of simultaneous Wi-Fi users within high-capacity venues and locations.
The new Ruckus high-density Smart Wi-Fi solutions, which include one of the first ultra high-capacity outdoor Smart Wi-Fi access points (APs), the ZoneFlex(TM) 7782-N, a remarkably compact and lightweight system, combines specialized smart sector antenna technology that narrowly focuses Wi-Fi signals within a 30-degree beamwidth with advanced software capabilities that optimize capacity and minimize interference through predictive channel selection (ChannelFly).
Planning for Wi-Fi coverage in high-density environments with the goal to deliver consistent performance to thousands of simultaneous users is quite different from planning coverage for low- to medium-density environments where the goal is to deliver ubiquitous signal coverage with the fewest number of APs.
As more Wi-Fi-capable devices enter the market, the average number of clients in any given area of a network increases dramatically. In the case of extremely dense venues such as stadiums or exhibit halls, these very dense populations introduce significant stress on the network and require specific design considerations such as the density and placement of Wi-Fi APs, the number of clients needing to connect, radio frequency (RF) noise and dealing with co-channel interference.
Towerstream, one of the nation's leading high-speed wireless broadband providers offering wireless access and backhaul services in 11 major markets in the United States, is known for dealing with very high-density Wi-Fi deployments and is among the first customers to deploy the new ZoneFlex 7782-N access point.
"For Towerstream, being able to explicitly focus RF energy in a specific direction and automate channel selection is essential to providing Wi-Fi connectivity within high-density metro deployments where APs are mounted in close proximity to each other," said Arthur Giftakis, VP of engineering for Towerstream.
"There's no single silver bullet to solve these high-density problems. Ruckus has taken a more holistic approach to the high-density problem, by combining a number of essential hardware and software technologies into a carrier-class solution that is highly scalable and delivers the highest Wi-Fi performance we've seen within some of the most contentious Wi-Fi environments on earth."
High-capacity Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi technology has also been deployed in a number of high-profile, high-density venues including the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina. The TWC Arena was recently host to the Democratic National Convention, which drew a crowd of 24,000 delegates, many armed with multiple mobile devices including laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
"The key to high-density Wi-Fi is to focus and limit signals within a given area so contention to the medium can be controlled," said Giftakis. "Directional antennas limit co-channel interference which is a gating item in most high-density deployments. Doing this lets us deliver much higher speeds and a better overall experience to users. We are seeing 50 to 60Mbps of performance being delivered to newer smartphones within New York City. Now that's impressive."
Introducing the ZoneFlex 7782-N
One of the world's first ultra high-capacity outdoor Smart Wi-Fi APs, the ZoneFlex(TM) 7782-N is capable of supporting over 500 concurrent clients. The ZoneFlex 7782-N integrates a custom-designed, internal sectorized antenna array, based on patented Ruckus BeamFlex adaptive antenna technology that focuses Wi-Fi signals within a 30-degree narrow beam. This enables more consistent performance, reliable connectivity, extended coverage and unmatched multimedia support within the most challenging radio frequency (RF) environments.
Working with the smart sector antenna is a suite of software capabilities, airtime fairness, band steering and predictive channel selection software (ChannelFly) that automatically work to provide better utilization of the Wi-Fi spectrum. In addition, the ZoneFlex 7782-N is one of the first outdoor APs to integrate a GPS receiver that automatically populates each AP with GPS coordinates allowing service providers to begin providing location-based Wi-Fi services.
Please Change the Channel
The new Ruckus high-density solution makes use of innovative ChannelFly(TM) technology specifically developed to address the growing need to deliver more reliable Wi-Fi performance within noisy and crowded RF environments caused by the invasion of smart, Wi-Fi-only devices onto enterprise and service provider networks. A statistical adaptive channel selection technique, ChannelFly applies similar principles to automatically determine the best radio operating frequency (RF channel) to be used that will yield the highest client throughput.
Location, Location, Location
The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7782-N uniquely integrates a GPS receiver that automatically determines its location and populates the AP with its GPS coordinates. This information can now be used by service providers to determine what clients are within a given service area in order to optimize service delivery and provide specific content and services to users in a distinct area. It also enables providers to more quickly troubleshoot and optimize their Wi-Fi infrastructure within a given area.
Product Details
Offered within a small, lightweight (5lbs/2.4Kg) and ultra low-profile form factor, the ZoneFlex 7782-N is an 802.11n dual-band concurrent (2.4/5GHz) AP with an integrated smart sectorized, high-gain antenna array. It is ideal for delivering high-capacity client access or as a powerful point-to-point wireless bridge. Rated for harsh environmental conditions (IP-67), the ZoneFlex 7782-N offers unique features not found in other outdoor Wi-Fi APs such as:
-- Stronger Wi-Fi signals up to 7 dB of signal-to-interference-plus-noise
(SINR) above the antenna gain through the combination of patented
adaptive antenna technology and chip-based transmit beamforming (TxBF),
-- Blocking unwanted noise and RF interference mitigation,
-- Polarization diversity that automatically changes the orientation of
Wi-Fi signals as the orientation of client devices change to ensure
reliable and consistent connectivity,
-- An internal 30-degree smart antenna that focuses RF energy across a
limited area to maximize client performance and minimize co-channel
interference,
-- Integrated support for AC power for locations such as light poles,
-- Built-in GPS receiver to enable location-based services and support for
IEEE 1588 P2P timing required for small cell networks,
-- Predictive channel selection (ChannelFly) to increase client throughput
up to 50 percent and reduce interference by selecting the best RF
channel on which to operate,
-- Power over Ethernet output up to 25 watts to support the direct
connection of devices such as metro Pico cell base stations, and
-- Integrated spectrum analysis (future).
The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7782-N can be centrally managed by the Ruckus ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller or the SmartCell(TM) Gateway 200 (SCG 200) as part of a unified indoor/outdoor wireless LAN. It can also be deployed as a standalone AP and managed individually, or through the FlexMaster remote Wi-Fi management system. Available by the end of this year, the ZoneFlex 7782-N has an MSRP of $2,999 (USD).

"As a value-added distributor for Enterasys, Arrow is excited about the new wireless solution. We see it as further proof that Enterasys is a global leader in wireless solutions. In addition to distributing the entire Enterasys product line, Arrow also has Enterasys Wi-Fi installed at our four offices throughout the United Kingdom. The ease of use and density of Enterasys wireless makes it a very compelling solution in our overall portfolio."
- Steve Pearce, managing director for the UK region for the enterprise computing solutions segment of Arrow Electronics
"With Wi-Fi increasingly becoming the primary access network in many organizations, enterprises want their mobile networks to rival the reliability and quality of experience of a wired Ethernet connection. A Wi-Fi solution meeting these challenges today must provide a unified wired/wireless view into network management, along with robust support for BYOD. Enterasys' IdentiFi announcement brings all of the required pieces together, enabling solutions that can scale to meet the needs of any organization."
- Craig Mathias, a Principal with the wireless and mobile advisory firm Farpoint Group

Revinate Goes Global with Increased Language Support and Regional Offices to Answer Growing Worldwide Demand for Online Reputation and Social Media Management
Revinate Adds 12 of the World's Most Common Languages to Upgraded Platform; New Release Supports Growing International Customer Base Featuring Top Global Brands in 120 Countries
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Revinate, the new standard for guest satisfaction for the hospitality industry, announced today that its online reputation management platform analyzes social media content in virtually any language and is now available with 12 additional interface languages to support its rapidly growing global customer base. With customers in 120 countries, Revinate's new product release will be supported by the company's growing international presence, with offices opening in Amsterdam, Sydney and Hong Kong.

As the leader in online reputation management for the hospitality industry, Revinate is expanding to meet demand for localized versions of its product by customers worldwide. Revinate's interface is now available in Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai and Turkish, providing multi-lingual capabilities for customers servicing global clientele in all regions of the world. Additionally, Revinate aggregates and analyzes guest feedback in virtually any language, and can automatically translate user-generated content so that hoteliers can listen to guests no matter where they come from.
"Truly understanding the needs of our customers and being able to improve guest satisfaction is the top priority in our business," said Chetan Patel, Vice President, Strategic Marketing & E-commerce, ONYX Hospitality Group. "With the new multi-lingual support combined with Revinate's regional offices in Asia and Europe, we can more effectively extend the power of the Revinate platform to our properties around the globe. The result will be a new level of customer engagement that wasn't previously possible, allowing us to better deliver on our pledge of top-notch customer service."
New language options are an important product upgrade not only for Revinate's larger customers, including global management groups, international hotel chains and resorts, but also for independent and boutique hotels in any region of the world.
"Listening to customer feedback and innovating based on their needs is as important to Revinate as it is to their hospitality businesses," said Jay Ashton, co-founder and CEO, Revinate. "Our customers, which include many of the world's top global brands, have asked us to bring the power of Revinate to more properties around the world, and we're answering that demand. Today, we can help hotels and hospitality companies manage their reputations and better engage with their guests worldwide."
With more than 15,000 properties worldwide, this global product release is just the latest milestone for Revinate in a very successful 2012. In July, the company announced that it received $14.5 million in financing from Benchmark Capital and Formation 8 to fuel further growth.
About Revinate
With online guest-generated travel reviews increasing in both number and importance, hotel owners and operators have a simple choice: either ignore the explosion of social media and hope for the best or proactively track and manage what is being said online in a way that deepens customer relationships, strengthens brands and boosts revenue. If you opt for the latter, then Revinate's user-friendly software platform, custom-designed for the unique needs of the hospitality industry, is an irreplaceable tool. Revinate's powerful technology monitors all of the important social media venues - including Twitter, Facebook and TripAdvisor - and provides instant alerts whenever your property or brand is mentioned.

Enterasys Provides Secure BYOD Solution for Sinclair Community College

Enterasys Provides Secure BYOD Solution for Sinclair Community College
Enterasys identiFi(TM) WLAN and Mobile IAM Offers Total Security and Seamless Mobility for Nearly 30,000 Users
ANDOVER, Mass., Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterasys Networks, a Siemens Enterprise Communications Company, announced today that Sinclair Community College, located in Dayton, Ohio, has deployed identiFi(TM), the new Enterasys WLAN solution, to support its BYOD and wireless networking initiatives. Responsible for supporting the Wi-Fi needs of 24,000 students and 4,000 faculty and staff, Sinclair Community College selected the Mobile IAM solution from Enterasys as its comprehensive BYOD capabilities provide total security, full IT control and a predictable network experience for all users.
An early adopter of BYOD, Sinclair Community College developed an in-house secure LAN solution using open and standard products. Although this solution helped launch its BYOD program, it lacked the necessary granular controls and automation necessary to keep pace with the college's escalating networking demands. With 20 buildings in downtown Dayton and five remote locations, Sinclair Community College needed a tool that could quickly adjust and distribute policies to all of its locations. The Enterasys Mobile IAM policy automation and provisioning capabilities enable a single policy approach for the college's wired, wireless and VPN deployments that simplifies management and eliminates potential security holes.
"Sinclair Community College has been ahead of the BYOD curve and we wanted to get better. The Mobile IAM solution from Enterasys had a lot of capabilities that we weren't able to do on our own, plus a road map that showed they put a lot of forethought into the BYOD space," said Scott McCollum, CIO of Sinclair Community College. "We used to have other vendor's products - as well as Enterasys - to manage our BYOD program, but now our entire networking infrastructure is based on the Enterasys OneFabric architecture."
Mobile IAM can automatically discover and track over 50 attributes per user and device on the network. The IT team at Sinclair Community College leverages this rich store of information to provide intelligent network management and policy enforcement that simplifies managing the college's BYOD program. As a result, IT support staff can more easily identify and troubleshoot connectivity issues, preventing problems from being escalated to a network engineer.
"We don't want our students or faculty to worry about whether or not the network is working, and thanks to Enterasys, their focus remains on their studies," said Darnell Brown, Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Sinclair Community College. "Plus, the Enterasys network allows us to be more flexible so we can say 'yes' more often to network access requests, allowing us to create options for our students and faculty to complete their work."
The college has also heavily invested in virtualization, from both a server and desktop standpoint. With over 600 software applications streaming to student and faculty desktops, Sinclair Community College has hundreds of virtual machines running through Enterasys S-Series data center switches, and also plans to deploy Data Center Manager to manage their virtualized environment. This virtualization gives the college much needed flexibility, with no need to worry about where the classes will be taught; the necessary applications are dynamically delivered as needed, even to mobile devices.
Enterasys partnered with Chi Corporation to ensure the college's IT staff was trained on the benefits of the new OneFabric network, delivering a system with exceptional performance while remaining easy to manage.
"With expertise across data center, storage and access edge, Chi Corporation is in the unique position of being able to support Sinclair Community College's entire IT needs," said John Thome, Jr., vice president, Chi Corporation. "We were able to get them quickly up to speed on the simplicity and manageability benefits of the Enterasys identiFi solution to ensure a seamless networking experience for mobile students and faculty."
An Enterasys customer for over 12 years, Sinclair Community College attributes its long-term satisfaction to Enterasys' best-in-class customer service and networking products that meet the market's needs.
"One of the reasons we have been an Enterasys customer for so long is they allow us to be more efficient and in control of the network, rather than running around and putting out fires," said McCollum. "The number of devices we are required to support on our network is growing astronomically, but the stability of Enterasys equipment has allowed us to stay current with these growing demands. We trust Enterasys to help us continue this trend in supporting a successful BYOD environment."

Synaptics Drives Windows 8 Adoption with TouchPad(TM), Touchscreen and Custom Gesture Interface Solutions
Synaptics Provides The Broadest Portfolio of Touch Solutions Designed To Optimize The Win8 and WinRT User Experience
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Synaptics Inc. (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions, today announced full support for Windows 8-driven Ultrabooks, notebook PCs, tablets and convertible configurations, as well as external TouchPads for desktop and All-in-One PCs. As a co-engineering partner with Microsoft, Synaptics is uniquely qualified to support the rich and immersive user experience in high-performance, thin and light notebook and PC designs that will drive the success of Windows 8.
Synaptics Gesture Suite(TM) (SGS) Windows 8 provides users with a powerful and intuitive way to be more productive and interactive with their Windows 8 and Windows RT notebook systems. SGS Windows 8 was developed with Synaptics' highly knowledgeable usability team who analyzed the most common user workflows, from entertainment activities such as viewing photos and listening to music, to productivity activities such as accessing emails and presentations. The result is an intelligent, usability-optimized model in the form of a customizable TouchPad driver and control panel that makes it easy for consumers to understand the growing portfolio of gestures available on Synaptics interface solutions.
For over 20 years, Synaptics' TouchPad family has led the PC industry in interface performance, with demonstrated leadership in pointing accuracy and OS navigation. Synaptics has leveraged this experience to help maximize the user experience improvements that Windows 8 provides by supporting the recommended larger 4.85" (105 x 65mm) diagonal TouchPads and ClickPads.
Synaptics' ForcePad(TM), the ultimate TouchPad, adds an added dimension of control through the application of pressure sensing. ForcePad is a multi-finger, variable force detection, capacitive TouchPad that offers a large "modern touchpad" gesture area that is up to 40 percent thinner than today's ClickPads, making it ideal for the fast and fluid Windows 8 touch experience.
With regards to growing interest in notebook and tablet-based touchscreens, Synaptics' ClearPad(TM) Series 7 family of premier solutions leverage the heritage of the ClearPad family, and are designed to meet the demanding Windows 8 and Windows RT touchscreen requirements with support for up to 17" screen sizes.
"The introduction of Windows 8 presents a new paradigm shift in personal computing, one that puts multi-touch capability front and center, and underscores just how pervasive touchscreen technology has become in our everyday lives," said Mark Vena, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Synaptics' PC Division. "This is an exciting time for touch technology, and Synaptics looks forward to continuing its long-standing legacy and innovation in developing the industry's broadest, most sophisticated portfolio of touchscreen, TouchPad and ultra-thin keyboard solutions."

Kenshoo will use the funding to support ongoing double and triple digit annual growth
rates within its search marketing and social media business units as well as further
penetrate key geographic markets. The financing will also help Kenshoo more aggressively
create new opportunities for brands and agencies to address the entire purchase funnel
while driving revenue across channels and devices.
"The Kenshoo team is second to none and clearly on a path to building a large market
in a rapidly growing industry," said Tom Banahan, managing director of Tenaya Capital.
"Kenshoo's superior technology, focus on scale, and commitment to profitability made it a
clear choice for Tenaya to form a partnership and lead this round of financing."
"Tenaya has had amazing success with such leaders as Kayak and Zappos and we're
humbled to have them as partners," said Yoav Izhar-Prato, co-founder and chief executive
officer of Kenshoo. "The Tenaya team shares our core values around integrity and tenacity
so it was a natural cultural fit. We look forward to tapping their resources and expertise
to bring even more value for our clients, employees, and shareholders."
Kenshoo has a long track record with delivering first-to-market innovations in search
marketing including seamless website tracking
[http://www.kenshoo.com/Revolutionary_tracking_option ], transparent portfolio bid
optimization [http://www.kenshoo.com/Next_generation_portfolio_bid_management ], back-end
inventory synchronization [http://www.kenshoo.com/RealTime_Campaigns ], local
mass-management [http://www.kenshoo.com/Kenshoo_Local_Announcement ] and a cross-channel
desktop editor [http://www.kenshoo.com/Kenshoo_Editor_PR ]. The agile development pace has
continued in 2012, with Kenshoo being the first search marketing technology platform to

"Kenshoo has always been motivated by creating unique solutions to marketing problems
that others found too hard to tackle," added Izhar-Prato. "With nearly half of the Fortune
50 and all 10 top global ad agency networks using Kenshoo, our clients have always pushed
us to deliver scalable technology that keeps them on the cutting edge. We will continue to
push the boundaries of math and automation to deliver long-term success for our clients."
Industry projections forecast continued growth going forward for Kenshoo's addressable

"Kenshoo is an indispensable, independent control system for any marketer who wants to
be certain that every cent of an advertising budget is wisely used to reach customers via

Now through November 30(th) movie-lovers can log onto the Sony Movie Channel Facebook page (http://www.Facebook.com/SonyMovieChannel), "Like" the page and experience the Movember Moustache Movie Madness app. For the next 30 days fans can vote on their favorite movie moustaches by choosing from a showcase of some of Hollywood's best-known movies with mo's (moustache). Some of the famous star mo's include Burt Reynolds, Tom Selleck, Marlon Brando and Robin Williams.
For every vote cast through the app, Sony Movie Channel will donate $1 to the Movember campaign up to a maximum of $5,000. Viewers may cast up to one vote a day throughout the month.

AMEYO Boosts Campaign Management Through the New Improved Analyze IT
GURGAON, India, November 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Analyze IT for AMEYO Monitors Campaign Management and Enhances Supervision
Capabilities to Benefit Contact Centers and Enterprises
Agent and Campaign Management [http://www.drishti-soft.com/solution.php ] are pivotal
to operations in contact centers [http://www.drishti-soft.com/contact_center.php ] and
enterprises. After resounding success of the previous installment, Analyze IT is laced
with more capabilities suited for enhancing Customer Interaction Management (CIM). With
the dynamics of business changing, AMEYO takes on a more comprehensive approach towards
supervision. The important upgrades that the feature consists of are enhancing the
usability of supervisor screen and interpretation of large sets of information. The other
factor that it revolves around is the ease of use and time management of real estate.

The feature enables the user to monitor all campaigns which are represented in a
single window interface. The detail includes all agents, login informations and other
vital stats of multiple processes. The user may also get desired multiple layouts for
queue performance, resource distribution, and customized charts that can be made for
individual campaigns. Working on real time data, this feature can save and regurgitate
data on the processes to be mapped. Its multiple tab approach allows end users to access
different reports in the same window and also conduct a comparative analysis of the same.
Speaking about the solution, Vipul Bahuguna, Senior Manager, R&D,Drishti-Soft informs,
"Before upgrading Analyze IT we kept the whole supervision perspective in mind, and wanted
to come up with a tool which allows us to monitor each campaign separately. Usually, the
supervisors monitor one campaign at a time and switch between disparate campaign tabs
which makes the procedure meticulous. Here we have each campaign tab that can can also be
detached from the main window and multiple campaigns can be monitored simultaneously on
multi-display systems. Also, since blended campaigns are now more widely used, so a
consolidated screen allowing for monitoring of multiple campaigns is the need of the
hour."
Most scalable solutions attempt intelligently predict the growth pattern and modify
according to the process flows of an organisation. AMEYO attempts to address issues of
technology in contact centers and enterprises of today and tomorrow. Speaking on Analyze
IT from the customer interaction prism, Sachin Bhatia, VP - Business Development,
Drishti-Soft says, "Most contact centers and enterprises come to us stating the need of
real estate management through effective supervision tools. We looked at the issue as a
mounting threat to multiple campaign management as well, hence the need of more features
in Analyze IT was justified as it treated this challenge specifically, in turn enabling
AMEYO to be a complete Customer Interaction Management (CIM) solution."
About AMEYO:
AMEYO is the flagship solution from Drishti for complete CIM. It has been designed to
add value to the businesses and pave way for a structured growth. AMEYO customers enjoy
significant increase in efficiency levels, reduction in operational costs, flexibility,
consistent user experience and a demonstrable ROI.
About Drishti:
Drishti offers communications solutions that empower more than enterprises and contact
centers to dynamically manage business processes, interactions, workforce and service
levels on emerging Unified Communications (IP Telephony, Unified Messaging, Conferencing,
Presence Management, and Application Collaboration), SOA (Service Oriented Architecture),

Design changes originating in the office can also be sent to the Trimble Site Tablet so field crews are rapidly updated with current information. All of this is accomplished without personnel leaving the site or their desk, dramatically increasing productivity and reducing costs.
Using the Windows(®) 7 Professional operating system, the Trimble Site Tablet also allows users to work with the same documents and software programs they would in the office, including Business Center - HCE software powered by Trimble.
Rugged Inside and Out
The Trimble Site Tablet is rugged and built to withstand the daily abuse of construction work, but it does not add extra weight to achieve its toughness. It meets stringent MIL-STD-810G military standards for drops, vibration and humidity; and with an IP65 rating, it is protected against dust and water. The full-color, seven-inch screen uses a Gorilla(®) Glass display that is scratch and impact resistant.
New Direct Sunlight Readable Touchscreen Display
The display also features a new dual-technology system created specifically to enhance sunlight readability for outside work. No matter how bright or direct the glare on the jobsite, the Trimble Site Tablet is clear and easy-to-read. A multi-touch capacitive touchscreen allows users to type, pan, and zoom with fingers, a stylus or capacitive gloves.

Trimble Site Controller Software Redesign Enhances User Experience for Measuring, Staking and Design on the Construction Jobsite
Trimble Unveils Updated, Easy-to-use Interface for Trimble SCS900 Site Controller Software Version 3.0
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) introduced today version 3.0 of its industry-leading SCS900 Site Controller Software for measurement, stakeout, quality control and progress monitoring on the heavy civil construction jobsite. Version 3.0 introduces a completely redesigned user experience including a clean, simple and updated user interface designed for maximum readability and usability, and workflow simplification improvements that increase productivity.
The announcement was made at Trimble Dimensions 2012.
Enhancements Accelerate Productivity
Trimble® SCS900 Site Controller Software combines simplicity and efficiency to reduce the time required to access even the most complex functionality. Whether users are measuring, staking or performing advanced in-field design calculations, it will never take more than three screen taps to access any feature in SCS900.
Clear, consistent navigation makes tasks more intuitive, while an improved layout with large, graphical icons makes functions easy to recognize. Simplified views show all options on one screen to provide faster access to relevant content, and an enhanced, intuitive guidance system helps the user find stake points quickly and precisely.
Efficiency gains begin as the software launches in map view, so users see where they are on the site immediately, and view cut and fill information instantly, without any setup. They can pan and navigate across the map by simply dragging a finger or a stylus across the screen. To rapidly switch between measuring and staking, users just tap and hold any point or line to stake it out. In addition, they can customize the information bars to effortlessly access and view critical information right from the map view and change languages on the fly without restarting the software.
Designed for the Construction Site
The visual elements of the user interface have been significantly modified and redesigned to make it much easier to view the software in bright sunlight, and large interface elements are more accessible for operations with gloved hands. Designed for the construction site, the new interface is visually appealing and user-friendly, reflective of current usability standards, and incorporates user research from the field.

New iPhone and Android Apps Allow Professionals to Collect and Sync Data between Field and Office
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) introduced today the Terrain Navigator Pro app for iPhone and Android, which serves a professional market, including search and rescue teams, law enforcement, foresters, surveyors, the oil and gas industry, and land managers. This mobile app allows professionals to collect markers, tracks and geo-stamp photos in the field, and then sync all the GPS data into the Terrain Navigator Pro (TNP) office software.
The announcement was made at Trimble Dimensions 2012.
"The TNP app provides a simple solution for professionals to collect and seamlessly transmit data from the field to the office using a smartphone instead of a consumer GPS device," said Kevin Toohill, general manager of MyTopo, a Trimble Company. "This mobile app is ideal for entry-level GIS applications not previously addressed by Trimble products. These users may not require high-precision for every field project and they can migrate to our professional-level data collectors at any time."
Using the GPS built into smartphones, professionals can collect field data in areas without a cellular or data signal. As soon as professionals return to a WiFi® or data connection like a 3G network, they can share information in real-time with the office. In addition, topographic, aerial and street maps can be downloaded onto the phone for offline use and data display. Other app features include: compass and geo-information such as latitude/longitude, elevation and direction.
"The ability to share field collected data real-time with colleagues using Terrain Navigator Pro software can help facilitate accurate, on-the-spot, decision-making between field and office colleagues, reducing workflow and increasing efficiency for the entire team," said Toohill.
About Terrain Navigator Pro
The TNP software provides access to an easily catalogued collection of USGS/US Forest Service topographic maps, including 1:24,000 (7.5 minute series), 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 scale as well as seamless, 1-meter resolution color aerial photos dating back to 2003, and up to the most recent National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) aerial imagery available. The software supports GIS and CAD export and import, and provides access to advanced mapping tools, including: range rings by time and distance, area fills and line-of-sight height offsets, geo-pins, geo-tips, Public Land Survey System (PLSS), advanced address search, up-to-date street data, and more.
How to Buy
Terrain Navigator Pro office software is $299 per state. The new mobile app is a free download and only accessible to TNP users with a licensed copy of the 9.2 software. For more information about TNP apps and map software, go to: http://www.mytopo.com/tnp.

Powered by Trimble RTX technology, Trimble xFill, a feature integrated into the Trimble R10 GNSS Receiver, enables a new and innovative technique in RTK surveying. It seamlessly 'fills in' for RTK or VRS corrections for up to five minutes in the event of a temporary connection outage with the primary correction source. Minimizing downtime, Trimble xFill enables higher productivity for field survey crews, allowing them to continue working until radio or cellular connectivity is restored.
"The expanded coverage of satellite-delivered Trimble RTX technology further extends our commitment to providing different ways of realizing high accuracy positioning solutions," said Patricia Boothe, general manager of Trimble's Positioning Services Division. "The power of RTX is proven. Trimble RTX is the backbone of Trimble's latest positioning innovations including the Trimble CenterPoint RTX service for farmers, the Trimble Pivot RTX App and Trimble Pivot RTX-PP App infrastructure solutions and now, the Trimble xFill feature for surveyors."
"The geographic expansion of Trimble RTX technology, enabling Trimble xFill, brings a unique advantage to surveyors throughout the world," said Anders Rhodin, general manager of Trimble's Survey Division. "The next generation capabilities of the Trimble R10 and its xFill feature are unmatched in the industry today and enable surveyors to continue to work, even in the toughest GNSS environments, more productively."
No Additional Hardware Required for the Trimble R10 GNSS Receiver
Available in the new Trimble R10, the Trimble xFill feature allows satellite corrections to be delivered directly to the receiver with no need for additional equipment such as radios and antennas. With its built-in capability, the Trimble R10 automatically tracks these corrections and will use them when needed. Trimble xFill across the expanded satellite coverage area is expected to be available by late November 2012.
