NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Snapkeys (www.snapkeys.com), inventors and developers of the Snapkeys 2i data entry system for Android and PC platforms and other mobile devices, is exhibiting at CTIA 2012 at booth 4763 and at the Israel Export Institute Pavilion booth 5319.

The recently updated version of Snapkeys 2i is a revolutionary method for data entry, based on an invisible 4-key technology which makes the traditional QWERTY keyboard virtually obsolete. The 4 keys divide the alphabet, numbers, and symbols into simple shapes which are learned easily and quickly. The invisible interface allows use of the full and uninhibited screen without the clutter of a keyboard.

The key demonstrators of the system are a group of 12-13 year olds who are showing the 10 people, the booth can accommodate at any one time, just how user friendly the new technology is.

It takes the average person 8 weeks to learn QWERTY; Snapkeys is mastered in a day. Once mastered, use of the mobile device for texting and writing is intuitive, interactive and fun. The invisible keyboard allows the screen to display content instead of a keyboard.

Removing tiny keyboards and freeing up the screen, offers users new and exciting horizons for music, video content, media technologies and social interacting. This offers manufacturers, carriers and vendors an opportunity to create new user experiences which will increase revenue and provide significant product differentiation.

Social TV and watching events while chatting are exciting applications. Kids on their tablets or Smartphones in their own homes watching a soccer match on their device can enter a chat room and interact and enjoy as if they were together.

The social experience of Facebook, Twitter, etc. will improve dramatically when a user can see their friend’s picture and comments without a keyboard dominated screen.

In school and university, students can type quickly and accurately and focus on the lecturer and see a block of text instead of two lines.

Highlights:

No keys – invisible interface

Full-Screen – displays text and photos, instead of a cumbersome keyboard

Mobile and Convenient – type while you walk, minimal finger movement

Languages – English, major European and Asian

Available – Android, iOS, Symbian, Windows devices

Instant – word recognition, blind typing

Data Performance on AT&T and Verizon LTE Networks Is Comparable, But Video and Battery Life Performance Vary By Device

NEW ORLEANS & FREDERICK, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Metrico Wireless today announced availability of its report, “LTE: The Subscriber Experience — International CTIA WIRELESS® 2012 Edition,” based on the company’s robust, objective and repeatable analysis of mobile device performance from the subscriber point of view. While AT&T’s and Verizon’s LTE networks showed comparable data and web performance, there was significant variation in video quality and battery life among devices, underscoring the criticality of measuring performance at the subscriber level. The report was the result of independent testing by Metrico as part of its Insights service, which also provides customized analytics to mobile carriers and device OEMs seeking to improve their products or strengthen their brands. Metrico will be exhibiting at International CTIA WIRELESS 2012 in New Orleans, Booth #3011.

At this time in 2011, 4G smartphones in the U.S. primarily operated on HSPA+ or WiMAX network technologies, with a single LTE-compatible handset on the market. What a difference a year makes! The top seven U.S. carriers have committed to launching LTE services, with AT&T and Verizon aggressively building out their networks and marketing several smartphones. Metrico has been conducting ongoing measurement of the subscriber experience on select devices, on key criteria including:

• data performance (HTTP download, HTTP upload, web page load time)
• video performance (frame delivery rate, freeze, impairment, audio)
• battery life (by application and by user profile).

Devices evaluated included the Samsung Galaxy™ S II Skyrocket™ and Samsung Galaxy Note from AT&T, and the Motorola DROID BIONIC and Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX from Verizon.

Key Findings

• Whether it’s the largest display or the largest battery of any smartphone, LTE devices launched so far in 2012 have targeted specific areas of the subscriber experience to differentiate from the competition.
• Devices tested on the AT&T and Verizon LTE networks exhibited comparable data performance when measured by stationary data downloads and uploads. All devices approached or broke through the 1 second mark for loading a standard web page.

• Video performance varied by device, and the variation was not correlated with data performance, indicating that onboard device attributes — including video processor and software — play a key role in the subscriber’s video experience.

• When considering power consumption by application, the AT&T Samsung devices require more power than the Verizon Motorola devices for circuit-switched voice calls and SMS, but are more power-efficient in streaming video. For web browsing, the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note consumes less power than the other devices. Given the Note’s larger display size, its performance on streaming video and web browsing power consumption indicates that other features of the device compensate for the expected drain on the battery from this component.
• Not surprisingly, the superior battery capacity of the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX allows it to outperform other devices in battery life in all applications, with circuit-switched voice calling being the most noticeable.

• As an indicator of challenges faced by device OEMs, all of the devices under test would last less than five hours on a fully charged battery if browsing the web or streaming video, applications which should be increasingly critical to the LTE subscriber experience.

DAS and Cell Site Connectivity Solutions Deliver Precision 4G Coverage and Capacity

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TE Connectivity (TE) today announced that it will present a range of wireless connectivity and distributed antenna systems (DAS) solutions in booth 4535 at CTIA in New Orleans. Among the mobile coverage and capacity solutions being showcased are:

InterReach Spectrum in-building DAS system which incorporates both low and high power remote units and has the ability to distribute up to eight different frequencies in a single system. InterReach Spectrum in-building DAS is ideal for service providers and neutral host operators who must support multiple frequencies in a wide variety of facilities, including public transportation terminals, university and corporate campuses, dense urban areas, and large enterprises. The system’s scale, through use of optics and expansion hubs, minimizes equipment and fiber needs.

FlexWave Prism high power DAS offers the benefits of distributed antennas with the capabilities of a remote radio head to deliver 2G, 3G, and 4G services in tunnels, subways, on university campuses, in suburban areas, and in urban canyons. The need for small-cell topology to deliver 4G services in these environments requires a DAS solution that brings the next-generation signals closer to the subscriber while supporting legacy voice and data systems. FlexWave Prism DAS accomplishes these things while also offering CAPEX and OPEX reduction compared to a traditional cell-site build.

InterReach Fusion in-building DAS, which features an active architecture with standard structured cabling to deliver cellular signals in facilities of any size. InterReach Fusion in-building DAS ensures high and uniform signal strength at every antenna location.

In addition, TE Connectivity is showing a host of cell site connectivity products, including:

Rapid Fiber panel is a unique termination product that combines the intrafacility cable and the intermediate panel into one all-encompassing solution. It uses MPO connectors and 12-fiber micro-cable stored on an internal spool. This solution enables installers to work efficiently and minimize field-termination and splice work.

TE’s Rapid Fiber flexible fiber box (FFB) is a new type of modular aggregation and demarcation box that provides maximum deployment flexibility for network operators with indoor, outside plant, and fiber installation challenges. The FFB promotes true flexibility with easily interchangeable components for termination, sliding adapter pack, fixed bulkhead, splice, MPO and hardened multi-fiber optical connector (HMFOC) configurations.

“We are pulling out all the stops to showcase a complete range of cell site and small cell solutions at CTIA,” said Chris Jurasek, vice president of the TE Wireless business. “With a visit to our booth, mobile operators can prove to themselves that we have the products they need to successfully roll out small cell architecture and slash cell site connectivity costs.”
