TE Connectivity Innovates the Fiber Distribution Hub for Next-Gen Networks
New FDH 4000 Offers New Levels of Fiber Density and Flexibility
MINNEAPOLIS, June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity, announced today that it is showcasing the first of a new line of fiber distribution hubs featuring higher fiber counts, smaller footprint and improved mounting options at the 2015 FTTH Connect event in Anaheim, California. The new sealed fiber distribution hub (FDH) 4000 brings high-density fiber connectivity to a compact, weatherproof enclosure to meet increasingly restrictive permitting ordinances. Also on display will be the enhanced FDH 3000 solution, which offers twice the splitter density as its predecessor. These innovations make it easier and more cost-effective for network engineers to build critical fiber connections for delivering Gigabit access speeds.
FDH 4000 Reduces Space and Permit Challenges
The FDH 4000 serves to connect the feeder and distribution cables via optical splitters in the fiber to the home (FTTH) network. Designed in a small enclosure with industry-leading port density, the FDH features 144 distribution ports, 9 splitter ports and 72 pass-through ports. Environmentally sealed for protection from water and mud, the FDH 4000 can be installed in almost any location. When used as a below-grade solution, the FDH 4000 can reduce permit and labor challenges often encountered in above-ground installations. Its small, compact size overcomes space challenges in crowded hand holes and strands, and offers less visual impact to meet aesthetic or security requirements. Leveraging TE's proven hardened fiber optic splice closure (FOSC), the sealed FDH 4000 offers a robust, all-weather solution to help ensure network uptime in the harshest environments.
In addition, the FDH 4000 incorporates the same craft-friendly cable management features found in all legacy TE FDH solutions. All-front access means technicians can remain in one position while performing customer turn-ups and maintenance. The flexible, modular design of the FDH 4000 allows service providers to maximize fiber usage.
FDH 3000 Upgrade Doubles Splitter Capacity
The FDH 3000 enclosure now offers double the splitter capacity - up to 48 splitter slots - giving network engineers more options in deploying high-bandwidth services over FTTH networks. Additional splitter slots allow engineers to reduce split ratios or add CWDM and DWDM components to deliver even higher bandwidth services.
The FDH 3000 upgrades also include new mounting options - a bottom-entry cable design and side mounting brackets. These new features give service providers more flexibility for installing the FDH in pole and pad mount applications.
"Service providers are under pressure to deliver more bandwidth to their customers, but increasingly, regulatory restrictions are impeding their ability to do that," said Jaxon Lang, general manager and vice president of TE Broadband Network Solutions. "Our FDH 4000 and FDH 3000 solutions help solve these challenges by providing service providers with more high-capacity solutions in a smaller footprint. As a result, service providers are able to realize faster network construction and gain better cost control of their FTTH assets."

Rembrandt 3D Launches 4K HD No Glasses 3D Screens, Premiering Ken Love's Frank Lloyd Wright's Film "Fallingwater in 3D, The House Tour"
PITTSBURGH, June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rembrandt 3D (http://www.rembrandt3d.com) launched its new line of 3D NO Glasses, 4K resolution, full HD 3D Auto Stereoscopic Displays (3DASD) at the Three Rivers Technology Exhibition in Pittsburgh, Pa., last week. The event was highlighted by their introduction of their new "Special Edition" 3DASD 10" Android Tablet, which premiered Emmy award-winning film maker Ken Love's new Frank Lloyd Wright Film, "Falllingwater in 3D, the House Tour."
The 36-minute film is both a historical perspective detailing the creation of the Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece, as well as a 3D cinematic virtual tour of Fallingwater, and shows the house, for the first time, capturing all four seasons in 3D. When viewed on the Rembrandt 3D 4K 58" 3DASD screen, the impact was inspirational, as many viewers testified.
Viewers commented: "I've been to Fallingwater a half dozen times, and I've never really seen it till now, the winter shots are amazing," Caleb Grayson, a local Grad said. "It's the best 3D I've ever seen, finally real 3DTV," and "I can't believe my eyes." "Absolutely awesome," commented keynote speaker Miki Agrawal.
Steve Blumenthal, Rembrandt 3D CEO said, "It is by far the best 3D we have ever converted for 3D auto stereoscopic viewing, and I believe that it is the most picture perfect 3D ever seen without glasses. It competes head-to-head to With Glasses 3D."
He went on to say, "Even the black and white shots of the early stages of construction, the Kauffman family, and Frank Lloyd Wright on site reinforce the richness and clarity of the films 3D depth effect. Ken Love did an amazing job."
John Pecora, Rembrandt 3D VP observed: "One of the key improvements of our new 4K lens design is that it holds a tight 3D focus over the entire focal distance of the image. Both close-up, POP-off-the-screen shots as well as distant, behind-the-lens 3D shots are crystal clear. No ghosting, artifacts, sweet spots or image deterioration, and we do it without gimmicks or add-on, 'head tracking' devices. For 3D digital signage, our 4K resolution is truly a first to market improvement over full HD. There has never been anything like it, or close to it."
Rembrandt 3D developed its 4K auto stereoscopic television with a newly designed proprietary lenticular lens, utilizing its proprietary IP in concert with its Chinese-based 3DASD manufacturer. In addition to providing a "perfect picture" No glasses 3D, this state of the art, 4K 3DTV is designed to address the rigors of Digital Signage on site issues, such as changing traffic patterns, shifting viewer angles, image throw distance and environmental factors such as lighting and location. For the first time, a "no sweet spot," no cones, no 3D artifacts visual experience with a 12-inch POP-off-the-screen 3D crystal-clear effect, is viewable which is consistent with full HD 2D.
The 4K resolution 3DASD screens are available in 23", 28", 46", 58" and 65" sizes, and are available for immediate shipping. 4K costing is competitively priced with 2K panels, and the difference in 3D effect is substantial.

Wolflink Technology to Release Portable Data Library with Unlimited Cloud Storage Space
BEIJING, June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolflink Technology, creator of the Smaug gaming router, the first router equipped with a multi-channel technology that increases download speeds up to 4x for Playstation players, will launch its latest product Wolflink NUTS in October this year.
Far more than a traditional home router, Wolflink NUTS is a new download/upload solution that supports an external hard disk and is also a private home cloud with free storage space. Whenever a user creates a file, it will automatically be saved on the hard drive hooked up to NUTS meaning all files are easily available from any device whenver the user is connected to the internet.
As founder Tan Wang says; "NUTS is like a portable data library. Users do not even need to have their files stored locally to be able to open them as they can be directly streamed and whenever they watch a movie or listen to music, they don't even have to wait for it to load. Photos are available in only a second and the external hard disk gives users unlimited storage space."
Comprised of members of Fortune 500 enterprises Huawei, PCCW, Nokia and Samsung, Wolflink Technology recently received a $10 million angel investment from the Elex Group and in addition to hardware also focuses on providing optimized home network optimize solutions.
One of the most important features of the Internet is its ability to share virtual resources. People share on the Internet by uploading data and obtain data from others by downloading, and these processes have become a part of daily life. We can store all of our important files to a cloud storage space to prevent losing them and download anything we want.
Many companies are already working on improving user experience when it comes to down and uploading, for instance with P2P, the download speed is faster than before and the cloud technique enables people to access their files at all times. However, the problem is all of these options are still not good enough.
Users need a computer in order to download files, so time is wasted if one is not readily available, while due to server limitations, P2P is not allowed in many places. PlayStation 4 users for example have to download from PSN using a single channel thread. In addition, although the cloud is a great invention, 1TB of storage costs almost $120 per year.
Remote BitTorrent, a downloading software allows people to download files from any torrent website, is another area that Wolflink Team is working on. The download will be committed by the router rather than the computer and users will be able to manage the download with an app. The coolest thing is, once the download is finished, the user can directly check the file, watch the video or see the picture on the phone or tablet device.
"We applied eight useful functions into one router, for example PSN download, accelerate, NAS remote downloading and advertisement blocking. Some people may think that's the end. But no, we're just getting started," the NUTS developers commented.

Touchjet Pond(TM) Projector Disrupts Education Market by Creating Interactive Classrooms
Teachers Share How the Device Produces Collaborative Learning for All Ages
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29, 2015 Today, at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference, Touchjet announced the Touchjet Pond(TM) Projector to bring collaboration and cooperative learning to classrooms. This technology offers a counter balance to the one-to-one technology movement where students complete assignments and work on individual devices as opposed to together as a group.
The Touchjet Pond Projector turns any wall or table surface into an 80-inch interactive touchscreen where students and teachers can display and interact with Android educational apps, fostering group problem solving and social learning.
The device is already being used in select classrooms, including the Austin Independent School District, and is receiving high praise from teachers and administrators.
"The Pond is an instructional tool that allows learners to showcase their projects by making work visible and interactive," said Diana McMillan, teacher at Mathews Elementary in Austin, Texas. "I'm planning to write a grant and find the support I need to have this valuable tool in my classroom!"
For example, teachers in Austin are using the device for various activities to promote interactive learning:
-- Group reading lessons from various reading apps
-- Integrated coding sessions using code.org and teachers' coding programs
-- Partner research on animal identification and classifications
-- Early literacy stations for sound and letter recognition
"A recent study from Futuresource Consulting Ltd showed that by the next academic year, mobile devices will be available for 1-to-1 computing for half of the U.S. K-12 student and teacher population. We believe that there needs to be a balance, so educators don't sacrifice opportunities for collaboration and group learning," said Holly De Leon, educational specialist for Touchjet. "Some curriculum is best taught through individual learning, but other subjects require collaboration so students learn together while improving their social skills."
More about the Touchjet Pond Projector:
A device that fits in the palm of the hand, the Touchjet Pond Projector is ultra-portable and can easily fit in a briefcase, backpack or purse, so teachers and students can transport it very simply. With the projector, teachers and students can interact directly with photos, videos, games, apps and presentations on a large touch display anywhere they go. Built on the Android 4.4 operating system, it gives users access to hundreds of thousands of apps that can be downloaded directly to the device via Google Play.
Founded in 2013, Touchjet brings people together through shared experiences using its patented touch technology. The company's first product, the Touchjet Pond Projector (formerly called Touchpico), turns any surface into a giant touchscreen. The Touchjet Pond Projector had one of the most successful Indiegogo campaigns ever, securing more than $800,000 in funding. With offices in both Singapore and the United States, Touchjet has a global team of top engineers and designers who are continuing to develop innovative applications for the company's touch technology.

CloudManager for Xclaim Attracts Over 1,000 Customers Less Than 30 Days Since Launch
Subscription-free Cloud Management Service Moves from Beta to Full Release with New Sign-ups Averaging More Than 30 a Day
SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruckus Wireless, Inc. (NYSE: RKUS) announced today that the recently launched CloudManager service for its Xclaim(TM) product line has moved from beta to full release. CloudManager for Xclaim already boasts over 1,000 customers of varying sizes worldwide who have signed up for the new, subscription-free cloud management service, with new subscribers joining at a rate of more than 30 a day.
"To see such rapid customer adoption of CloudManager is quite remarkable, and it clearly shows how well received our new management solution for the Xclaim product line is," said Biju Nair, vice president and GM of the Xclaim product line at Ruckus. "The feedback has been incredibly positive so far and the platform is proving as robust and flexible as we had anticipated."
The Xclaim product line and the accompanying CloudManager service is a comprehensive, entry-level enterprise WiFi solution from Ruckus Wireless. The Xclaim portfolio features disruptively priced, cloud managed indoor and outdoor business-class WiFi access points (APs). Xclaim access points are designed for organizations requiring a cost-effective yet reliable and powerful WiFi solution that bridges the gap between poor performing and featureless consumer-grade products, and more costly, high-end enterprise solutions that typically require dedicated in-house IT expertise.
Continued Nair, "With the Xclaim product line, we've eliminated the complexity that most people associate with enterprise WiFi while still keeping the key features that enterprises consistently need. Combine this with great RF quality and a disruptive pricing model, which now includes free cloud management, and you get a perfect fit for businesses looking for a straightforward, high-performance enterprise WiFi solution."
Since CloudManager for Xclaim was launched on May 27, 2015, Ruckus Wireless has seen rapid adoption of its Xclaim product line from customers worldwide, with approximately 50 percent of deployments occurring outside of North America.
"We deployed Xclaim access points about six months ago and have been very happy with their performance--CloudManager has become the icing on the cake," said Greg Harvey, IT director at Connected Data Inc., an early adopter of the Xclaim product line. "We converted from using the Harmony for Xclaim app, and I have to say, what you get is incredible when you consider they deliver the service at no cost."
Resellers of the Xclaim product line have been equally enthusiastic. "We started selling Xclaim access points a few months ago," said Ante Katavic, CEO of Smartnet, an IT solutions provider based in Croatia. "Xclaim access points allow us to offer very cost-effective and reliable WiFi solutions to our customers, and now CloudManager allows us to remotely configure, monitor and troubleshoot our customer networks from anywhere we can get access to a web browser. It's fantastic, and our customers love the fact that there are no monthly or annual subscription fees."
Ruckus Wireless already has a roadmap of enhancements for CloudManager for Xclaim that will be added in the weeks and months ahead. If customers have selected automatic updates, they will see these enhancements appear as they are released. Alternatively, customers can opt for manual updates and only add the new features as they see fit. In either case, the additional functionality at the CloudManager or access point level is delivered at no cost. "As we build out the Xclaim product line, CloudManager is going to be the central tool around which everything rotates," concluded Nair. "Clearly, we're off to a great start."

Golden Wish LLC debuts their innovative Motion-Control Music Technology "Puppet Master", creating new and exciting ways for people to experience music.
Puppet Master is the latest innovation in music technology, which will change the way we perceive and experience music. Using only a Computer and a Motion Detection Camera Golden Wish LLC has developed a system which allows the user to produce and create music using only the movement of their body without the need of gloves, vests, or any additional accessories.
BOSTON, June 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Traditionally, the only way for an instrumentalist to process effects on their instrument was through manual manipulation. This is no longer a limitation with Puppet Master(TM), a patented motion-control music system, which only requires a single camera and computer to produce and manipulate sounds. Using only body motion and positioning, the user can manipulate sounds and effects coming from their instrument without any need to stop and twists knobs. This technology is unprecedented in its applicability, and is expected to be the forefront of a musical revolution; creating new and exciting ways for people to experience music.
Over the past 2 years, Berklee Graduate Kevin Clark has built his company, Golden Wish, LLC, around this patented technology. Having performed exhaustive experimentation with the many platforms that the technology can be adapted to (see http://www.GoldenWishLLC.com), Clark is finally confident in debuting the technology in a Live Performance featuring Tia Fuller at 54 Below, 254 W 54th St, New York, NY 10019. Golden Wish, LLC is currently exploring options for partnerships with companies, such as Ableton and Microsoft, to further develop their product in the commercial market.

CMTL Announces Industry Awareness Program for Intel® Approved Memory Products
ANAHEIM, Calif., June 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CMTL, (http://www.cmtlabs.com), Computer Memory Test Labs, the industry's leading independent memory product compatibility and functionality testing lab announced that it will launch an industry wide awareness program to educate Intel platform customers the value and necessity for buying memory products that are listed on each Intel specific platform Intel Advanced tested memory list and are Intel Approved.
CMTL's President, John Deters stated, "Intel addition to having passed the rigorous Intel advanced tested memory process, Intel approved memory products (modules, SODIMM's and SSD's) have part numbers with locked down BOM's (Bill of Materials) which is an absolute must to ensure sustained performance, functionality, compatibility and reliability."
Deters further commented, "CMTL is committed to ensure that Intel platform customers are made fully aware of the potential problems they may face by not buying memory products that are listed on each specific Intel platform approved memory lists for both server and NUC platforms."
CMTL has also determined that it is necessary to send this warning message and educational effort further down the commerce level to system end users. The goal is to have every Intel end user customer require their IT solution provider to configure Intel platform based systems only with Intel advanced tested and approved memory. Unfortunately there are a number system builders who ignore the potential risk of configuring Intel platforms with non Intel approved memory, but they will not ignore the request when it comes from their customer and potentially losing a sale.
About CMTL: Formed in 1996 in conjunction with Intel to perform 3(rd) party independent memory product compatibility tests on Intel platforms. Intel recommends customers use memory products that have successfully passed the advanced compatibility testing process and are listed on each specific Intel platform approved memory list. Memory products that have not passed Intel's advanced testing process are not supported by Intel and may experience sporadic errors, unstable functionality, performance issues, intermittent speed variations and system crashes.

Solution Enables Easy-Wake Gesture Functionality, Gloved Finger Tracking, Waterproofing And Thin Touchscreen Module in World's Thinnest 7-Inch Phablet
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: CY) today announced that Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology solutions provider, has selected Cypress's TrueTouch(®) capacitive touchscreen solution for its next-generation MediaPad X2 tablet PC. The MediaPad X2 utilizes the TrueTouch TMA568 controller's industry-leading gloved finger tracking, robust water tolerance and easy-wake gestures for its sleek 7-inch touchscreen display. Users can make calls, surf the web, play games, take pictures and use other key features even if they are wearing thick gloves or the screen is wet. In addition, the easy-wake gestures feature enables users to perform a double-tap gesture to quickly activate the device from sleep mode.
The MediaPad X2 is the industry's thinnest tablet with a 7-inch display at just 7.18 mm thick, enabled in part by the TrueTouch solution's capability to support ultra-thin stackup layers in the touchscreen. The MediaPad X2's high-resolution display delivers a crisp and dynamic visual experience, along with a flawless response to touch commands. TrueTouch enables best-in-class tracking of fingers in gloves of various materials and thicknesses, and automatically switches between glove and finger tracking without requiring the user to switch settings. TrueTouch employs the industry's highest tolerance to water and immunity to electronic noise from aftermarket chargers and displays, enabling accurate touch input for the MediaPad X2 in environments where competing solutions experience false and missed touches.
"We are pleased to follow up the selection of our TrueTouch solution for the MediaPad X1 with this win for Huawei's impressive MediaPad X2," said Joe Montalbo, vice president of the TrueTouch Business Unit at Cypress. "This design win is one of many with Huawei, and underscores our ability to provide industry-leading touchscreen features and reliability that enable our customers to differentiate their products."
TrueTouch features Cypress's patented DualSense(TM) technology that executes both self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance measurements in the same device. The result is the industry's best water rejection and wet finger tracking for seamless performance in real-world conditions, including the presence of rain, condensation or sweat. Additionally, DualSense technology delivers immunity to charger noise of up to 35V peak-to-peak (Vpp) from 1-500 kHz, with a 0.5-mm cover lens and a 9-mm-wide finger.
Touch Leadership
Cypress's touch-sensing portfolio is the industry's broadest and most well-adopted, encompassing TrueTouch, CapSense, and TrackPad solutions. The company's unmatched IP portfolio is backed by more than 100 capacitive touch-sensing patents.

Chinese Venture Capital Firm TCL Capital is Among First Group of Investors to Join the Recently Launched Deutsche Borse Venture Network
SHENZHEN, China, June 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In June, 2015, Deutsche Borse Group and Matthias Machnig, State Secretary of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, jointly announced the launch of the proposed "Deutsche Borse Venture Network" and held the inaugural ceremony at the Germany Federal Economics Ministry in Berlin. The network aims to improve fund raising opportunities for young growth companies. The official opening ceremony was attended by 27 companies and 42 investors already registered on the platform.TCL Capital was one of the two Chinese venture capital companies that were among the first group of registered investors.
Deutsche Borse Venture Network comprises a non-public online platform, where funding rounds will be initiated, along with training and networking events.
The platform is gaining attention and is welcomed by communities all across Europe. Sigmar Gabriel, Federal Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy said, "The programme is an important component to achieving our common aim of strengthening IPOs in Germany. I am convinced that the programme will contribute to improving the funding situation of young growth companies in Germany."
Deutsche Borse Deputy CEO Andreas Preuss said, "Deutsche Borse Venture Network is one of our contributions to improving the environment for young growth companies in Germany to make it easier for them to raise capital and potentially float on the stock exchange as well. We are convinced that the programme we presented today will greatly contribute to the promotion of growth funding in Germany, and we look forward to successfully collaborating with all those involved."
The Deutsche Borse Venture Network will provide a workflow process to local firms and investors, who in turn can use the process to build their relationship network and establish connections.

The first group of investors includes well-known local and international private equity investment firms, venture capitalists, angel investors and high net worth individuals.
As an international group headquartered in China, TCL Corporation has extended its business reach into Germany and several other major European countries. With the whole world actively pursuing and adopting the "Industry 4.0" initiative, a high-tech strategy first put forth by the German government, TCL Corporation subsidiary TCL Capital's early participation in the Deutsche Borse Venture Network system as one of the first venture capital firms to be invited by Deutsche Borse Group is expected to prove helpful in further enhancing the firm's interaction with Germany's emerging companies and in seeking better investment opportunities, driving the mutual development of both China's and Germany's investment and financing sector.

V1 New Media Establishes the World's Largest "Chinese Youtube"
- Crowd-funding Model for Innovative Videos
BEIJING, June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- V1 New Media, one of the business of V1 Group Limited ("V1 Group" or the "Company"), announced the launch of the largest PGC (Professionally Generated Content) platform project in China together with over 500 content providers, including Trends Group, Modern Sky, Feideishou, Zhengyun TV, to establish the largest "Chinese Youtube" in the world for hundreds of millions of video creators in China. Such transformation is regarded by the industry as a milestone in the development of Chinese video business.
Introduction of over 500 high-quality PGC resources and provision of comprehensive service for PGC users
V1 has introduced over 500 PGC teams in the vertical field, including Trends Group, Modern Sky, Feideishou and The Beijing News New Media, grabbing the best copyright resources in the PGC sector. The Company also plans to sign contracts on some key high-quality PGC projects in 2015. Dr. Zhang Lijun, Chairman of V1 Group, expressed that "As a distribution platform which is cross-platform and cross-terminal, V1 upgrades the whole video industry to the level of a supply chain in China, we put efforts in building the PGC video industry ecosystem, O2O platform and providing a comprehensive value-added service for PGC users which includes equipment rental, capital injection, channel marketing, finding advertisement clients and workplace provision. This is a "Crowd-funding for Videos" model in which a crowd of people invest on creators, creators provide content, content attracts traffic, and investors share revenue with creators."
Dr. Zhang Lijun, Chairman of V1 Group, emphasized that "In the era of Internet Plus, V1 Group has never engaged in and is not going to simply repeat the game of burning money in the video business, but it is going to step up the development of the innovative new model with passion and momentum, to take on the responsibility to realize our intrinsic value in the service provided to our clients, in order to blossom in the new era of Internet Plus."
In order to establish the world's largest "Chinese Youtube," V1 has formulated a long-term detailed plan. In phase 1 "Funding," investment funds will provide financial support to PGC video production studios to help them to grow from small to big. In phase 2 "Education," or the incubating phase, education and entrepreneurship will be combined together so that all PGC teams will continue to receive rational guidance and energy. In phase 3 "Communications," broadcasting will be made through local and overseas platforms to export our values, and the PGC video production studios will undergo a commercialized operation, so as to create a beneficial cycle between influence and economic earnings.
Liu Danhui, Chief Executive Officer of V1 New Media, expressed that "V1 always insists on the "Creator is the core" strategy to keenly develop the mini video market and to actively explore the way of development of the video industry ecosystem in China. In the era of "We Media," everybody is a news distributor, so it is an irresistible trend of providing a professional platform for the sharing and release of their videos. Many years of experience accumulated by the Chinese video industry proves that PGC is the only way to win the battle in the industry."
Accredited PGC enjoys a high revenue share; investment in crowd-funding can be large as well as strong
When establishing the world's largest "Chinese Youtube," V1 has to help video creators to get rich and ahead. The most important highlights of the "Get Rich and Ahead" plan launched by V1 is the zero threshold for accreditation with high revenue share - any accredited PGC user can enjoy a high revenue share without any additional conditions.
Moreover, the "Crowd-funding Reward" plan launched by V1 has also provided for creators the possibility additional income. PGC users only need to create quality, original content and gather a certain number of fans by content development, and then they can receive revenue from their fans.
V1 has tailor-made for PGC users certain new programs such as "Movie Influence" and "History Revision" with a socialized approach. V1 will also initiate a talent project to produce quality programs together with elites from different industries who are interested to engage in the "We Media" spree.
In addition, a revamped version of V1 Circle application will be launched as well. With the aim of "Attention to web surfing, Ability to shoot, Power to share", this cross-terminal and cross-platform application will seize the mini videos market through computers and mobile applications, becoming the largest portal of PGC original videos for China internet users.

if they would consider using an app that allowed them to make and receive calls abroad
without being charged, 94% of those surveyed said, yes.
Dominic Lobo, Head of Libon, said: "This new feature addresses a problem many of us
encounter on a regular basis. We believe it will go some way towards solving the headache
of being out of range of mobile signal for our existing customers but also the millions
affected by mobile dead spots in the UK. As long as you've got Wi-Fi connection, Libon
will ensure you are always reachable and you can always place a call, no matter what
network you're on."
The new service joins a suite of advanced features available to customers including
personalised greetings on voicemail for individuals or groups, free high-quality
Libon-to-Libon voice calling, rich instant messaging and competitive voice minutes for
calling more than 100 national and international destinations.
* Survey conducted on sample of 1000 respondents in the UK on 12/6/2015-13/6/2015.
