Press Releases

DUISBURG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- mimoOn, a pioneer in LTE software implementation for programmable radio platforms, announced that it will be demonstrating LTE for pico base stations at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona next week. mimoOn will showcase its advanced LTE PHY implementation running on TI's DSPs, February 15-18, 2010, in the mimoOn booth 2B17 at MWC.

mimoOn's mi!PicoPHY(TM) base station software has been integrated on TI's TMS320TCI648x highly flexible, scalable processors targeting LTE products. The fully featured PHY software is certified based on the latest versions of the 3GPP standards. It is modular and written in ANSI-C language, which allows flexibility and scalability with advanced algorithms such as high-performance channel estimators and MIMO detectors. In addition, the mi!PicoPHY(TM) is designed for low memory and power consumption which are critical design requirements for small form factor base stations. TI's C648x series of DSPs offer equipment manufacturers the advantages of design and code reuse, since the processors can be scaled to meet both the intensive processing demands of macro base stations, as well as the cost constraints of the residential femtocell.

According to Thomas Kaiser, CEO of mimoOn, "As we enter 2010, we're observing numerous trials globally and increasing numbers of base station shipments for LTE. mimoOn's offering with TI allows customers to benefit from advanced signal processing, industry leading processors, and market scalability all in the same package."

"The pre-integration of the mimoOn's mi!PicoPHY(TM) LTE software onto TI's field proven wireless base station processors allows customers to get to market quickly and reliably in the rapidly evolving Pico LTE space," said Kathy Brown, business manager, wireless base station infrastructure business, Texas Instruments.

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- This week Ignite! Learning unveils a patent-pending digital content solution for their award winning multi-media curriculum called "the Torch," aimed at providing administrators and teachers an affordable, easy-to-use tool to drive state-standards success. The Torch will be showcased at the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) Convention on February 10th through February 12th.

"The game-changing element of the Torch is its configurability to state and grade-level priorities across Math, Science, & Social Studies for all 50 states plus Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia. Districts and whole states can purchase an affordable teacher-centric instructional solution credibly targeting special education inclusion, content and skills mastery, or high-stakes assessment preparation based on their own set priorities," explains Spike Blevins, Executive Vice President of Sales.

Spike further explains "Our state customized, standards-driven interface combined with academically scripted digital content ensures that the coverage and comprehension guidelines for all grade-level standards are met, giving administrator's confidence that classroom instruction is both motivational and on-target. This is the only 21st century compliment to the textbook you'll see capable of harnessing the full power of interactive whiteboard and student response systems with engaging standards-based multi-media lessons that are compatible with the basal programs. We're offering the Torch to teachers for classroom instruction but will follow soon with customized low-cost solutions for students take-home use as schools increasingly move to classroom-only textbook sets."

The Torch, a patented portable device by Ignite! Learning, delivers premium digital content and assessments for today's 21st century classroom configured entirely by grade-level, subject and state. The device, as small as a Wii(TM) controller, allows administrators to select customized curriculum for purchase and immediate use. Ignite!'s "plug and play" platform is fully functional on both Mac and PC, requires no installation, and is ideal for interactive whiteboard equipped schools, also working with a simple projector/computer setup in any classroom. Teachers build and save state-standards based lessons; while administrators, through usage-tracking features, can assess how investments in digital content are being leveraged for academic progress. Assessment components embedded directly into the media result in teachers querying standards-based rubrics, creating lessons fully integrated with topic quizzes, print materials, enrichment activities, and together with student response system technology, ensure real-time student participation. Ignite!'s Torch carries a "motivation or your money back" guarantee.

Ignite! Learning has participated in many district success stories around the county, with one recent example coming out of Clint ISD in El Paso, Texas. In 2006, Barbie Flores, District Instructional Facilitator for Clint ISD, knew she needed to take serious action to help improve students' test scores after learning their overall passing rate for science was a dismal 39% and just 1% for LEP students. She decided to develop a hands-on lab largely supported by the Ignite! Science curriculum, and after one year Mrs. Flores saw participating students achieve a 59% overall passing rate, 20% for LEP students! After such overwhelmingly positive results, Mrs. Flores decided to partner with Ignite! again to develop a similar lab program for math in 2009. "It is exciting to see a product come around that not only engages students, but supports teachers and makes their job easier," says Mrs. Flores, "all the while making them more effective."

Visitors to the TCEA conference can stop by booth number 535 to see the Torch in action, meet the Ignite! team, and learn more about how your district can achieve state-standards success.

Plantnode Enterprise provides support for corporations wanting to establish company-wide standards for measuring manufacturing productivity. This new platform brings actionable operational intelligence to the broader regional, divisional and corporate audiences.

Plantnode Enterprise collects real-time data across multiple lines, plants and geographies, enabling standardization and comparison of efficiencies from job to job, plant to plant or employee to employee. Data can be rolled up or drilled down by machine type, individual plant or geographical region, or it can be viewed corporate-wide.

"Now management teams can look at their performance based on uniform, truthful data so they can compare apples to apples and make more informed business decisions," says Martin Ambrose, president and CEO, Shoplogix. "Plantnode Enterprise also gives managers an opportunity to identify improvements and best practices in one plant that can then be implemented across an organization."

Global packaging leader, Greif, is deploying the technology company-wide in 90 plants across 30 countries. "Our current method of driving improvement didn't provide visibility into all losses of efficiency, but Plantnode Enterprise provides an unbiased way to measure effectiveness and capacity planning across our network of plants." "says Travis Groff, vice president of OpEx Worldwide, Greif. "We want to take our operational efficiency to the next level. Using Shoplogix we have already seen improvement in our initial plants where OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) has increased by 10-15 percent and downtime has been reduced by 8-12 percent."

Plantnode Enterprise provides several powerful new features, including customizable Executive Dashboards and hundreds of role-based reports that can be set up and shared with colleagues through the "Favourites Sharing" functionality. Reports can be automatically pushed to Blackberry or iPhone devices providing easy access to important information for busy executives. Plantnode Enterprise delivers rapid time to value, yielding intelligence to improve operations within weeks and enabling ROI (return on investment) within three to six months. "In these difficult economic times, accurate information can help manufacturers make the right decisions," says Ambrose. "We're dedicated to helping our customers stay competitive."
