MWC2013:Altar introduces Single Mode LTE NVidia Tegra 3 tablet reference platform.

Altair Semiconductor (http://www.altair-semi.com), the world's leading developer of high-performance, single-mode LTE chipsets, today announced that its chipset has been pre-integrated on the NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 tablet reference platform. The platform has been made available to Altair and NVIDIA customers as a reference for the development of single-mode LTE tablets, offering manufacturers a mature, high-performance and cost-effective solution.

Altair's Verizon-Certified FourGee-3100/6202 chipset offers single-mode LTE connectivity on both FDD and TDD variants across all 3GPP bands globally.

"As the industry continues its unabated move towards wide-scale adoption of 4G only devices, manufacturers are on the lookout for innovative LTE solutions to differentiate their product offering," said Eran Eshed, Co-Founder and VP of Marketing at Altair Semiconductor. "We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with NVIDIA and to bringing the 4G user experience to consumers around the world."

The explosion of data-centric devices such as mobile hotspots, Wi-Fi routers, USB dongles and M2M applications, combined with the massive expansion of 4G global coverage to the point of 3G parity, is driving strong carrier adoption of LTE powered devices which do not include 3G functionality. The combination of 3G's high cost, driven by extra silicon and heavy IP royalty toll, with narrow-band user experience, provides strong motivation to carriers and consumers alike to adopt LTE-only devices.

"By teaming Tegra 3 with Altair's LTE chipset, we can offer customers one of the most advanced solutions for LTE mobile devices," said Glenn Schuster, Director of Technical Marketing at NVIDIA. "We're looking forward to bringing more differentiated, LTE-enabled products to market."

Altair's chipsets can be found in approximately 50 end-user devices - ranging from USB dongles to smartphones - built by its more than 20 customers across North America, Europe, China, India and Taiwan - making it one of the only TDD/FDD LTE chipset manufacturers in the world with commercially available products. Altair's comprehensive product portfolio includes baseband processors, multi-band RF transceivers for both FDD and TDD bands, and a range of reference hardware and product level protocol stack software.

MWC 2013: Streetline Named Best Mobile Innovation for 'Smart Cities' for Parker.

MWC 2013: Streetline Named Best Mobile Innovation for 'Smart Cities' for Parker.

Streetline, Inc., a leading global provider of smart parking solutions for cities, universities, and private operators, today announced that the company's real-time parking guidance app Parker™ by Streetline was named 2013 Best Mobile Innovation for 'Smart Cities.' Winners of the 2013 Global Mobile Awards were announced today at the Mobile World Congress being held this week in Barcelona: http://www.mobileworldcongress.com/

Parker by Streetline makes finding and paying for parking easy. With the app, consumers can quickly view available parking options based on pricing, location, and/or real-time availability. When driving, the app is hands free for easy operation; it features voice guidance to provide an audible cue when available parking is nearby, and drivers may also place their smartphones on a car dashmount just as they would with a GPS system. 

Real-time availability is provided via the company's patented smart parking platform that detects the presence of a car through a network of ultra-low power wireless sensors, as well as other sensing devices.

Telefonica and Streetline announced in last November that they will be jointly marketing and selling telematics-enabled smart parking services that allow cities to optimize parking management, while delivering higher quality of life to their citizens by reducing car traffic. Streetline will provide smart parking services, applications, and technical support, while Telefonica will contribute with its m2m platforms, financial services, commercial network, including pre- and post-sales support, and customer care. Everything will be deployed over the best in class global networks of Telefonica.

The Global Mobile Awards, which recognize excellence and innovation within the mobile communications industry, were presented today at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. To select the winners for the 2013 awards, more than 160 independent analysts, journalists, academics and subject matter experts throughout the world participated in the judging process.

"Over 30 locations worldwide are using sensor-enabled data through Parker by Streetline to guide drivers to open parking spaces and reduce negative societal impacts from circling the block in search of a spot, including traffic and emissions," said Zia Yusuf, president & CEO of Streetline. "We would like to thank the Global Mobile Award judges for this recognition. It is a tremendous honor to receive this prestigious award."

Parking Reinvented

Streetline's patented smart parking platform detects the presence of a car through a network of ultra-low power wireless sensors located in individual parking spaces. Data from these sensors, or from counting equipment installed in parking garages and lots, is then made available in real time via various cloud-based applications, such as Parker™, the leading mobile app for consumers, and – soon – in-car navigation systems. Earlier this year, Streetline introduced ParkerMap™, an embeddable widget that allows merchants, universities, cities, and parking providers to easily showcase nearby parking options via any website.

In addition to real-time data, Streetline also integrates garage data for over 23,000 locations.

MWC2013: Huawei Reveals the World’s Fastest 4G LTE Smartphone.

HUAWEI Ascend P2 breaks all records with its 150 Mbps download speed.

Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today introduced the HUAWEI Ascend P2, the world’s fastest smartphone, at the 2013 Mobile World Congress (MWC).

The Ascend P2 features a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor and LTE Cat 4 providing an

ultrafast web experience with download speeds of up to 150 Mbps. Continuing the

fashion legacy of the Ascend P-series, it is only 8.4mm slim with an infinity edge 4.7-inch

IPS HD in-cell touch display with second-generation Corning® Gorilla® Glass, and will be

available in black and white.

“Ascend P2 is the perfect combination of elegance and power, and further proof that

there’s no need to compromise when desiring a perfect smartphone. It is evidence of the

outstanding smartphone experiences and great technology that we are committed to

bringing to consumers globally,” said Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business

Group.

The HUAWEI Ascend P2 will be on sale in France through Orange in June 2013.

“We’re pleased to be working with Huawei again to enable our customers to have easier

and faster access to all their favorite content,” said Yves Maitre, Senior Vice President,

Mobile Multimedia & Devices, Orange. “We are impressed by the design and look forward

to putting the Ascend P2 into the hands of consumers as soon as possible.”

“The technological capabilities of the HUAWEI Ascend P2 will enable our customers to

have the fastest access to all their content, with speeds up to 150 Mbps on our brand

new 4G network,” said Florence Paour, Device Marketing Director, Orange France.

The HUAWEI Ascend P2 runs on the Android 4.1 operating system, with Huawei’s own

Emotion UI 1.5. Powered by a 2420 mAh battery and 1.5 GHz quad-core processor, the

Ascend P2 downloads HD movies in minutes, and loads online videos, web pages, songs

or e-Books in seconds. Huawei’s proprietary ‘swift sharing’ supports uploads and

downloads two to three times faster than other smartphones in a Wi-Fi environment.

With its NFC module*, Ascend P2 enables e-payments and can act as an electronic ticket.

Huawei's unique Quick Power Control (QPC) and Automated Discontinuous Reception

(ADRX) power-saving technologies, reduces power consumption by 30% and charging

time by more than 25% compared to other smartphones.

Continuing the fashion focus of Huawei’s Ascend P smartphones, HUAWEI Ascend P2

evokes the image of an infinity pool with its seamless, elegant design and curvy contours.

Using in-cell technology, its LCD 4.7-inch IPS HD touchscreen is an impressive 8.4mm

slim. Its ‘magic touch’ feature provides enhanced screen responsiveness even with

gloves, and instant keyword translation and Wikipedia searches can now be done on a

single window with ‘smart reading’. The screen also calibrates its brightness

automatically under any light conditions, allowing users to perform any function, under

any light.

The HUAWEI Ascend P2 provides optimal photo and video features including a 13 MP BSI

rear-facing camera with HDR, and a 1.3 MP front-facing camera to support self-portrait

and video shooting. A dedicated camera key on the side of the phone also allows instant

access to picture taking, click once for the camera to be activated and another time to

take the shot. With Huawei’s advanced camera algorithm, high-definition images can be

captured even in backlit conditions. Auto adjustment modes further enable Ascend P2 to

produce photos that rival professional cameras.

The Huawei Emotion UI*, available on the Ascend P2 is easy to use and customize. The

UniHome function combines home panels with the main menu, while Huawei’s patent pending

functions you need in a single, customizable widget. Emotion UI is also pre-installed with

a smartphone housekeeper function to support real-time data traffic tracking, automatic

blacklisting and blocking, periodical system cleaning, and spontaneous exiting of idle

programs and cache cleanup, in addition to anti-virus, energy saving, privacy protection,

software management, and more.

The Ascend P2 will also be available globally around the second quarter of 2013.

*This function is available in selected markets only.

January Edition: Open webOS: Enyo 2.2 will support Blackberry 10 and Windows 8.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.



January Edition: Open webOS: Enyo 2.2  will support Blackberry 10 and Windows 8.

The latest information of webOS Open Project:

New features for developers, the return of Virtualbox emulator, meta-webos to Yocto 1.3 upgraded, next release of Enyo 2.2 will include Windows 8 and BlackBerry 10 app support, and more you can read on the original post bellow:

January Edition

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone was gifted some new hardware to port Open webOS to! We are kicking off the New Year with some new features and updates.

First off is the return of the Virtualbox emulator. In the original webOS SDK, the emulator was an important tool for app developers. Developers used the emulator to test device specific features without having to buy hardware or get early access to new devices. On Open webOS, this is even more important for developers, who would otherwise have to worry about what hardware Open webOS is ported to. If you are an app developer and want to know more, we did a post last month on how to useEnyo 2 with phone-gap for cross-platform apps on Open webOS.

This month we upgraded meta-webos to Yocto 1.3. This brings new features and bug fixes to the build process. You can read more about it here from the mailinglist. Also, we are currently upgrading thenodejs platform. Watch out for 0.8.18 hitting the node repo in the coming days.

Earlier this month we had the privilege of having Tom King (who is leading the WebOS-Ports effort) stop in to meet with us. The team are feverishly preparing for their beta release on Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7. We have established a great relationship with Tom. In his own words, “the meetings went well”, and we are working hard on clearing any roadblocks that are ahead of them. Tom left with some additional Nexus hardware for people working on the beta. If this interests you, catch Tom on IRC: #webos-ports on Freenode under ka6sox.

Over at Open webOS’s sister project Enyo, the team is hard at work on their next release. Enyo 2.2 will include Windows 8 and BlackBerry 10 app support, a Contextual Popup widget, some cool new list functionality, and a slew of other enhancements and fixes. Watch the Enyo site for updates or follow them on Twitter: @EnyoJS.

Look for the Developer Relations and Enyo team members at Apps-World next week (February 7th and 8th) in San Francisco. We have two on-stage presentations and are participating in panel about “Exploring cross platform development tools”.
