Accumulate is launching Mobile Everywhere for Enterprise. This mobile technology platform enables enterprises and organizations to increase the use of the Internet as the carrier of sensitive company information and also enables companies to offer their employees, partners, and suppliers new innovative and secure services. The common feature of these services is that the mobile phone can replace security solutions such as one-time codes, hardware token authenticators, certificates on computers and of course the use of ID and password. In addition, administration, logistics and the cost of hardware tokens and the alike are reduced. Mobile Everywhere works on all mobiles and with all mobile operators. The solution qualifies with the law as an advanced electronic signature and uses a method that in security language is called ”two-factor, dual-line authentication”. External experts have examined and approved Accumulate’s technology for implementation in banking environment. Furthermore the technology gives protection against so called man-in-the-middle attacks and phishing of user ID and password.

Dr. Tom Lookabaugh, the chief technology officer at Entropic Communications, will give a presentation on Home Networking: Gateways and Clients at the third annual Set Top Box 2009 show, scheduled for October 6-7, 2009, in San Jose, California. Home entertainment services are at a critical juncture. Competition is fierce and incumbent operators are facing increased pressure not only from each other, but from alternative over-the-top services. Service providers — satellite, cable, and telephone companies — traditionally deliver services from the core of the network to terminals on the edge. But this paradigm seems to be shifting across the board to a new one: separating access networks from home networks using a gateway. This presentation will discuss how home networks are getting more capable and ubiquitous and evolve at a different rate from access networks, and more than one network of each type may need to interface at the boundary of the home. Interestingly, this is essentially independent of an equally important trend to source content and computation “in the cloud” and its counterpart, the tendency to exploit cheap storage to cache content at multiple points in the network. The presentation will take place on Wednesday, October 7, 2009; 11:00 a.m., in the Donner Pass Ballroom.
Additionally, the Company has appointed William R. Bradford as senior vice president of worldwide sales. Bradford has a proven track record of execution and leadership in the semiconductor industry and brings expertise in building sales organizations and developing channels, alliances and OEM partnerships for leading semiconductor companies including Freescale Semiconductor, ON Semiconductor, Cypress Semiconductor and Texas Instruments. Bradford will serve as part of the executive management team and report directly to Entropic president and CEO, Patrick Henry.

RTW has released a software upgrade that will enable qualified SurroundMonitor 10800X devices to perform loudness metering. The RTW version 6.0 software, which will be standard on all new 10800X units, offers features that include an ITU BS.1770-compliant loudness meter and a quasi-DIN (quasi-analog) bargraph for digital PPM measurements. The 10800X is the first metering system ever to incorporate RTW's path-breaking Surround Sound Analyzer for intuitive representation of surround signals. The 6.0 software offers new functions that include an RLB (K) weighting filter as specified by the current ITU recommendation. The filter is available not only for single-channel bargraph meters but also for Dialnorm metering and for the Surround Sound Analyzer. Using an ITU scale in dBLU with positive and negative ranges, the bargraph meter allows the reference level to be set for 0dBLU (-25 to -10 dBFS), and the integration times for single-channel view, summed momentary value, and Surround Sound Analyzer (125 ms to 1.5 seconds). A summed integrated (short-term) measurement with integration times between one and 12 seconds can also be displayed. To exclude low-level modulation portions from the calculation, a gate with variable threshold (-30 to 0 dBLU) can be enabled separately.
