NetQin Releases New Version 4.6 Beta of Anti-virus Application with New Cloud Security Technology and Real-time Monitoring
BEIJING, January 21, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
NetQin, a global leader in mobile security services, today announced that
its Anti-virus v4.2 Beta security app, NetQin Mobile Anti-virus for Android

and loss protection, now adds real-time monitoring and alerts, cloud

With mobile devices morphing from handheld phones to handheld

no matter the channel of communication - work or personal, email or SMS,
photo sharing or social networking.

-- Cloud Scan: v.4.6 Beta includes "cloud + client" twin-engine scanning,
which is faster and more accurate at identifying and resolving
threats from viruses and malicious programs. Key benefits include fast
response to the latest security threats and comprehensive protection
from Trojans, malware, and virus-infected plug-ins.
-- Real-time monitoring and alerts: when users install a new application,
the cloud will follow its safety procedures through real-time
monitoring, and immediately notify the user if prompt deletion is
needed.
"Malware and malicious content are only part of many mobile
security issues that need to be dealt with," said Dr. Lin Yu, CEO and
Co-founder of NetQin. "New threats, including those that compromise a user's
data or privacy, have emerged, and this is why we are constantly updating our
mobile Anti-virus products."
Founded in 2005, backed by Sequoia, Mayfield, Fidelity and Ceyuan
VC, NetQin Mobile Inc. (referred to as "NetQin" hereafter) is a global leader
in mobile security services, delivers proven mobile security solutions based
on a cloud-computing model, including anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spam,
privacy protection, data backup and recovery, as well as data management - to
more than 60 million users in more than 200 countries and regions worldwide -
to protect them against mobile security threats. As the market leader in
mobile security, NetQin holds 64.8% market share of China mobile security
market (2010 H1 Whitepaper on China Mobile Security Market by Frost &
Sullivan, August 2010), and has received multiple industry awards and honors,
including Technology Pioneer 2011 by the World Economic Forum, and the 2009
China Frost & Sullivan Award for Mobile Security Market Leadership.

CONCORD, Mass., Jan. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Applied Analytics, Inc. (AAI) unveils the ePurge X, a next-generation solution for air-purging electronic enclosures. Unlike conventional purge controllers, this new offering is entirely solid state and much more in line with the design of AAI's highly automated process analyzers. The ePurge X is slated to be available both to distributors and the general public in March.
"When you glance through the brochure, you'll immediately notice the form factor," says Andy Burgess, senior mechanical engineer, AAI. "The ePurge X has an ultra-slim profile that barely protrudes from the surface of the enclosure. It also has half as many components to install as the purges that are currently available."
AAI is also introducing an entirely new concept with the utility-saving feedback feature. The ePurge X uses a digital mass flow sensor to monitor the flow rate of purge gas through the enclosure. Along with the differential pressure, this flow value allows the ePurge X to provide data on instrument air consumption by specifying the exact demand that will keep the enclosure safely pressurized without wasting any extra utilities. "In an industry of safety devices that have no inherent return on investment, we are offering a product that can pay for itself within five years in utility savings alone," says Yoav Barshad, President, AAI. "Writ large across all the air-purged enclosures in a typical industrial site, this is nothing less than a killer feature."
The ePurge product family will be used with all future purged systems from AAI. Adds Burgess: "We were compelled to develop the ePurge X when we could not find a purge solution for our own analyzer enclosures that didn't compromise the original system's form factor or complicate installation. There must be many manufacturers that, like AAI, carry high expectations for safety components. We are our own customer, and we witness the ePurge X exceed those expectations each day of production."

Verizon Wireless Network Ready for Super Bowl Sunday at Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex
DALLAS, Jan. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Verizon Wireless network is ready for the tens of thousands of football fans heading to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex for Super Bowl XLV Feb. 6. Network technicians have been preparing for the past year to ensure peak performance for hometown customers and visiting fans during the festivities around, and during, the Super Bowl.
In anticipation of significantly elevated usage levels in voice and data call volume around the Metroplex, Verizon Wireless network teams have enhanced coverage and increased capacity in and around the stadium, at all Super Bowl-related venues, as well as all thoroughfares leading to and from these locations.
The company already has a system in place at the site of Super Bowl XLV with a state-of-the-art distributed antenna system to support large crowds. This system strengthens the already robust Verizon Wireless network in and around the stadium for the anticipated surge in calls, text messages, picture and video messages, Internet connections and other wireless traffic during the biggest game in professional sports in the U.S.
"This is one of largest, if not the largest, events ever held in North Texas," said Frank Antonacci, region president for Verizon Wireless. "We heavily invest in our network year round to make certain the Verizon Wireless network remains superior, and to give all of our customers - residents or visiting fans - the most access to our advanced services and technologies."
Verizon Wireless has continued to ramp up its network around Central Texas.

FineLine Announces High Performance Ultra-Thin Speakers
MARTINEZ, Calif., Jan. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- FineLine Speakers, a US-based manufacturer of high performance ultra-slim speakers, announces the official launch of their product line and exclusive consumer-direct sales website, http://www.finelinespeakers.com. Featuring a select lineup of high-performance speakers well under 2 inches (50 mm) deep, plus a subwoofer, FineLine Speakers offers proven technology and expertise along with Made-in-USA build quality.
While big consumer-audio names like Definitive Technology and KEF have garnered innovation awards for their recently launched ultra-slim speaker designs, FineLine is using dynamic cone-type drivers that are well-proven with over five years in actual production. Phil Jones, Manager of FineLine Speakers, originally designed the proprietary ultra-low-profile woofers now used in these high-performance speakers back in 2003, with refinements made since then to extend bass response and maximize accuracy and dynamic range. Mr. Jones notes that "Innovox Audio, which is FineLine's exclusive manufacturing partner, has been selling speakers based on my ultra-low-profile 4-inch (100-mm) woofer into the professional audio and pro-AV markets for over five years. Now, FineLine Speakers brings this proven, professional-grade technology to high-performance ultra-slim speakers for the home."
Engineered for the highest levels of accuracy, precision and punch, FineLine speakers include such refinements as ribbon high-frequency drivers (in the LCR-21) and high-rate crossover circuitry. To make the enclosures as thin as possible without sacrificing sound quality, FineLine uses cold-rolled steel with applied damping and bracing for maximum performance with minimal wall thickness. Instead of using separate grilles, FineLine uses an integral fabric wrap to maintain a clean, seamless appearance, while further reducing overall speaker depth.
By selling exclusively consumer-direct via the Web, FineLine offers very competitive pricing, even though 100% of their products are made in the USA. Consumer-direct pricing starts at $245 each for the compact LCR-11 wall-mount speaker, ranging up to $745 each for the FC-3 high-performance three-channel soundbar speaker.
For questions regarding this press release, please contact Phil Jones at (925) 372-8115, or email sales@finelinespeakers.com

AT&T Launches New System to Enhance Wireless Coverage at KFC YUM! Center
New Mobile System to Improve Service at Crowded Venues
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 20, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* today announced the recent activation of more than a million-dollar advanced wireless system that will enhance mobile coverage inside and around the KFC YUM! Center in downtown Louisville.
The KFC YUM! Center is home to the University of Louisville Cardinals Men's and Women's Basketball programs. Additionally, it is designed to accommodate a wide variety of other events including NCAA championships such as wrestling, swimming and volleyball, as well as concerts, circuses, wrestling and boxing matches and ice shows.
"This new system means arena guests can better communicate using their cell phones no matter where they are on game or event days," said Jim Wood, president & CEO, Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau. "This significant network upgrade is especially important to attracting new convention business to the arena. We appreciate the cooperation of AT&T to enhance the experience of locals and visitors using the KFC YUM! Center."
With this activation, AT&T has enhanced the amount of wireless voice and data traffic that the network is able to handle at large capacity gatherings, such as basketball games, where demand on the network is at its peak. To make this enhancement, AT&T installed network equipment on a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to manage available spectrum and increase mobile broadband capacity inside the KFC YUM! Center.
"These investments will have an immediate impact for our citizens who attend events at the KFC YUM! Center," said Louisville Councilman Dan Johnson. "As we work to continue to grow the economy, downtown Louisville will be able to grow even faster with the benefit of enhanced mobile broadband coverage."
The DAS supporting the KFC YUM! Center consists of seven equipment cabinets to support mobile broadband. The new system provides wireless service throughout all seating areas, the press box, the garage, the luxury suites, concourses and locker rooms.
"This investment will help University of Louisville fans stay better connected when they're at the KFC YUM! Center," said Tom Jurich, vice president for athletics at the University of Louisville. "We recognize that with more than 22,000 people in the arena and thousands more in and around the facility, there is a need for great wireless service. Going to an event at this arena has always been a great experience. Now it's going to be even better with this new wireless system."
The goal of the DAS project is to achieve integrated cellular coverage indoors and out. Whether AT&T customers are using their cell phones, smartphones or even laptops with wireless Internet cards, they will be better able to access sports scores while on-the-go, upload photos instantly to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, and use navigation to get turn-by-turn directions and traffic alerts on their way to and from the arena.
"These advanced systems will provide our customers with an enhanced mobile experience as they enjoy games and other events," said Mary Pat Regan, AT&T Kentucky state president. "We are committed to providing superior coverage on AT&T's network for our customers, and are happy to improve their experience at the KFC YUM! Center."
From 2007 through 2009, AT&T's total capital investment in its Kentucky wireless and wireline networks was nearly $500 million. AT&T's wireless network investment in Kentucky during that timeframe was nearly $125 million. For the first six months of this year, AT&T invested nearly $80 million in its Kentucky wireless and wireline networks.
The expansion of mobile broadband service is one of many ongoing network initiatives planned to enhance coverage and capacity across the country. AT&T upgraded mobile broadband cell sites nationwide to High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2. Future plans include another upgrade to HSPA+ technology at the end of this year followed by the initial deployment next year of LTE, the next-generation of wireless technology. These advancements, when combined with an ongoing initiative to increase the number of high-speed backhaul connections to cell sites, are a part of AT&T's strategy to provide customers with an enhanced mobile broadband experience, both today and in the future.
AT&T is an industry leader in delivering the benefits of mobile broadband networks, devices and applications. With the nation's fastest mobile broadband network, AT&T provides accelerated mobile data speeds and simultaneous voice and data capabilities for an amazing wireless voice and data experience.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MMX Technologies today announced the recent launch of http://www.mygymandtrainer.com, a new social media site dedicated to fitness. The purpose of the site is to provide free listings for all types of fitness professionals, fitness facilities, and health promotion organizations to help them advertise themselves at no cost and to allow consumers to provide and receive unbiased information. "We noticed that short of getting tips from friends, we had no idea about any of the terrific local gyms or trainers available to us and no way to find them. So we wanted to change that," says Daniel Chvatik, co-founder of Mygymandtrainer.com.
Mygymandtrainer.com aims to fill the current gap in information by giving fitness professionals from across the country a platform to showcase their services free of charge. Consumers can then search the website, also for free, to find fitness solutions using a variety of filters such as specific location, type of training, specialization, amenities, years of experience, and more.
Despite just having launched, the site already has over 100,000 trainer, gym and class profiles throughout the country. "Our goal is to list the vast majority of all fitness solutions available in the US by the end of 2011," states Daniel Chvatik. "We think and hope that this resource will make it easier for consumers to make the decision to join that gym or trainer or class that just speaks to them on a personal level through the profiles on our site. For fitness professionals, we hope to provide a new way for them to reach out to potential clients, tell their story and show how they can help clients reach their fitness goals."
New Year's Personal Training Session Giveaway
To celebrate the recent launch, the site started a sweepstakes to give away free personal training sessions every week in the months of January and February to the person(s) who shares the most compelling personal fitness story for why they should win the prize. The sweepstakes is open to everyone who lives in the US and is 18 years and older. For more information go here http://www.mygymandtrainer.com/contests/free-training.
And the New Year's Giveaway is just the start. According to the founders, Mygymandtrainer.com is "a small company with big dreams of keeping America fit". The Mygymandtrainer team's stated plan is to continuously add new, useful features to its site in an effort to provide its users with the most comprehensive, cutting edge connection to the fitness community available out there.
