Sensaris Launches its Global SMARTPHONES FOR AIR QUALITY Program

Crolles, France (PRWEB) June 11, 2012

There is growing interest for air quality monitoring as the recent controversy in London or the need for Chinese cities to publish fine particles levels recently revealed. Citizens and communities are increasingly aware of the correlation between personal exposure to environmental pollution and health.

After pilot projects and deployments in 15 cities on 4 continents, Sensaris is now launching the first global network for air quality monitoring based on cloud technologies and smartphones.

Environmental data such as noise, CO2, CO, fine particles, humidity, temperature, along with positioning information is sent wirelessly to iPhones (starting this summer) or Android mobile devices. Users can choose to store data on the phone, send it to a server for real time mapping or store it locally on the Senspods memory card for later or periodic automated transfer. The patent pending solution will now enable citizens to monitor indoor and outdoor air quality and compare or share results via social networking applications. For smart city services, pocket sized Senspods have been used by pedestrians, mounted on vehicles (bicycles, cars) or placed on urban furniture. The scalable architecture combined with the ease of use the mobile application and web based interface ensure easy deployment.

Michael Setton, CEO indicated: In many cases there are more sensors in a car than air quality monitoring stations in a city. After getting a boost from the Bluetooth Innovation world Cup in January, we are very excited to deploy Senspods in several new cities this summer. Our devices and software will provide citizens and communities with new means of improving air quality, and the use of social networking tools will foster exchange of ideas and solutions on a global scale. This is an important step in increasing peoples engagement to bring local solutions to this growing issue. In subway stations our sensors can be combined with LED lights to provide energy savings and environmental information to citizens. For more than 9000 metro stations worldwide, public transportation users could soon get real time indoor air quality values on their mobile phones.

GL Conveys the Availability of its Voice Quality Testing (VQT) Software

Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) June 21, 2012

GL Communications Inc. a leader in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry, conveyed today the availability of Voice Quality Testing (VQT) software.

Speaking to the press, Mr. Robert Bichefsky Senior Manager of the company said, GLs Voice Quality Test Tools provide facility to test voice quality with common platform and common software that helps avoid purchasing dedicated software and equipment for various technologies. The test tools provide the means of sending and receiving speech signals through various network interfaces.

GLs VQT (Voice Quality Testing) software then rates the transmissions using ITU standard algorithms PESQ and PSQM. Mean Opinion Score (MOS), speech level, noise level, echo, and other distortions common to voice transmissions are measured and provided automatically, remotely, and repetitively as required by the end user. Typical network applications include VoIP systems, PSTN, ATM networks, Frame Relay, and Wireless Networks.

He added, The GL VQT utilizes three widely accepted algorithms to perform the voice comparisons, the Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ LQ/LQO/WB) per Rec. P.862/P.862.1, the Perceptual Analysis / Measurement System (PAMS) per Rec. P.800, and the Perceptual Speech Quality Measurement (PSQM) per Rec. P.861.

PAMS predicts overall subjective listening quality (a human’s perception of quality) without requiring actual subjective testing (a very expensive and time-consuming process). PSQM predicts subjective quality of speech codecs without requiring subjective testing. The GL VQT performs PESQ LQ/LQO/WB and PSQM (+) simultaneously, using two voice files (Reference File and Degraded File) and provides the algorithm results in both a graphical and tabular format.

Mr.Bichefsky further added, The GL VQT provides a user-friendly interface, which allows the user to perform manual voice quality assessments by simply entering a Reference File and a Degraded File. The results of the VQT algorithms, PESQ LQ/LQO/WB, PAMS and PSQM, are displayed both in tabular format as well as graphically. Additional analytical results are displayed as part of the assessment such as jitter, clipping, noise level, and delay (end to end as well as per speech utterance).

The user may configure a Rating Criteria for all VQT algorithms as well as the additional analytical results. The rating criteria may be configured for Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor.

The GL VQT may also be executed in Auto Mode that automatically performs the voice quality algorithms and displays the results.

Opus Research Issues "5 Tips to Survive the 'BYOD' Era" to Promote Network Quality, Integrity and Security on Enterprise Networks

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 07, 2013

Opus Research, the leading IT analyst firm focusing on Conversational Commerce, has just issued a brief report entitled 5 Rules for Survival in the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Era. It is a quick reference guide identifying five major considerations that business enterprises must take into account to maintain network quality, integrity and security while accommodating the onslaught of personal mobile devices. The report is made available on a complimentary basis by Empirix.

BYOD is here to stay for one simple reason, report author Dan Miller, Sr. Analyst at Opus Research, explains. Employees dont think that going to work should be a downgrade from the tools and devices they use at home to get things done.

Recent studies by IT vendors like Cisco show that over 85% of global corporations with more than 1000 employees already offer varying level of support for employees who use their own smartphones, tablets or laptops into the workplace. Their challenge is to provide secure, reliable and capacious access to the companys wireless network. It is a daunting task made necessary by the advent of an even broader variety of intelligent wireless devices, including Ultrabooks, Chromebooks, e-readers and mini tablets.

Employees at all levels expect high-quality communications while working, no matter what the device, connection or application, said Tim Moynihan, Vice President of Marketing at Empirix. Technicians in the IT and Networking departments now must manage tremendous traffic loads with unpredictable usage spikes, all while trying to ensure that important real-time communications such as phone calls, customer chat sessions or video conferences, are kept free from static, echo or delays.

To help IT professionals cope, Opus Research offers Five to Survive and Thrive, meaning 5 rules to help IT organizations prepare for the flood of new devices, applications and traffic levels that come in the wake of the holiday season. It starts with acceptance of the consumerization of IT and preparation of data processing and management resources to detect impending faults and predict usage trends in order to keep the networks working flawlessly.

Employees expect the network to flat out work, Miller notes. Network assurance takes on new meaning when thousands of employees are using dozens of different devices and hundreds of applications to get their work done.

The brief report is made available free of charge by Empirix through its Web site or through Opus Researchs Web site.
