NOIDA (15 December 2010): Vantage Integrated Security Systems has tied up with DRDO through a Transfer of Technology (TOT) agreement for the exclusive manufacturing and distribution of an explosive detection kit developed by the agency.

The product, which will be manufactured at NCR Delhi, is ultra mobile and is available in packaging ranging from as small as a pouch to the largest, being the size of a small briefcase. It requires minimal training for usage, however specialized explosive handling knowledge (easy to acquire) is necessary as with any other such product.

The USP of the product is that it is considered to be equally, if not more, effective as any other explosive detection equipment, yet it costs a fraction of the next most cost effective option. Most importantly, unlike any other competing product available in the market, results can also be verified instantly.

The detection kit, developed by DRDO’s High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL) in Pune also has the advantage of being a liquid drop test rather than a paper based sample test, thus making it faster, safer and capable of detecting even minute trace quantities.

Pranav Verma, Executive Director, Vantage Integrated Security Systems has said that the company will soon be launching this product, already in use by a number of security agencies, paramilitary forces, and bomb disposal squads, in the open market in the next quarter. “We believe that in the given heightened security scenario, this product would be a cost effective yet efficient tool that can be used for better protection of any facility that is used by the general public” says Mr. Verma. He adds “We believe that this will help greatly in preventive security, as well as help investigative agencies get a head start in their pursuit of justice through early and accurate detection. We also intend to enhance the value delivered to the customer by providing training, consumables and consulting of the highest quality, both directly as well as in association with both government and private security agencies.”

Mr. Verma further states that “while we are exclusive distributors for India, we would like to also enter various other geographies – through our non-exclusive international license – both as a distributor and a supplier. We feel that given India’s cost advantages, other international licensees, as well as prospective distribution partners would find great advantage in using our manufacturing facilities as a global base for this product. We are keenly pursuing discussions with various international partners and are looking forward to newer opportunities every day.”

The product is slated for general availability in India and internationally in calendar Q1 2011.

Bangalore, India / SUNNYVALE, CA, July 5, 2010 –Ruckus Wireless™ today said that it gained top share in outdoor mesh AP unit shipment to service providers and was ranked the fastest growing wireless LAN (WLAN) company in 2009, according to the latest industry reports from Dell’Oro Group and Gartner respectively.

New WLAN research from DellOro Group, a leading industry analysis company, shows Ruckus Wireless as the worldwide leader in unit shipments of Wi-Fi mesh access points to service providers, garnering 41 percent of the market in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 57 percent in the first quarter of 2010.

And in its most recent WLAN report entitled “Market Share Analysis: Enterprise Wireless LAN Equipment, Worldwide, 2009”,  Gartner ranked Ruckus Wireless as the top performing WLAN vendor worldwide for 2009 based on its new relative industry performance ranking benchmark.

“Having just entered the outdoor Wi-Fi service provider market in July, 2009, Ruckus Wireless has demonstrated growth that we rarely see,” said Brian Modoff, managing director and senior telecommunications analyst at Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.  “This is largely attributed to the combination of three attributes: low cost and trimmed down outdoor product packages, sophisticated radio technology that increases reliability and range and the boost of 802.11n in outdoor Wi-Fi capacity.”

The DellOro Group analysis noted that the resurgence of outdoor wireless LANs within the service provider market is being driven by factors including:

• Growth in client devices with Wi-Fi capabilities,

• Continued build-out of WLAN infrastructure to provide end users access to (Internet) data, anywhere, anytime,

• Increasing  offerings of free Wi-Fi access by service providers to to maintain subscriber loyalty and provide opportunity to offload cellular data traffic,  and

• Adoption of outdoor Wi-Fi mesh infrastructure by service providers to offer broadband access in locations where traditional wired access is not feasible or affordable.

“Operators and enterprises of all sizes are rushing to offer better wireless coverage and faster data speeds to keep up with users’ insatiable demand for mobile internet access,” said Selina Lo, President and CEO of Ruckus Wireless. “The fact that we have been able to attain a dominant position over competitors with much longer tenures in this market is a testament to our Smart Wi-Fi innovations and to the market’s appetite for easier, better and more affordable Wi-Fi that can be adapted to a variety of infrastructural applications.”

Ruckus Wireless has developed a “smarter” approach to Wi-Fi that employs patented dynamic beamforming technology, interference rejection techniques and adaptive signal controls to deliver wireless range and performance never before available to Wi-Fi operators.

Ruckus Ranks Highest in Gartner’s New Relative Industry Performance Benchmark

To more accurately measure WLAN vendor performance while taking into account relative performance in specific product segments, Gartner has introduced the relative industry performance benchmark (RIP).

Gartner’s RIP benchmark provides added insight into market momentum not always found in simple market share rankings. Gartner RIP scores were calculated by factoring 2008/2009 “normal” revenue change (if revenue growth by segment would have followed the market average revenue growth) against actual revenue growth.  Analyzing the top ten WLAN vendors, Gartner ranked Ruckus Wireless as the number one vendor in this benchmark with a year over year growth rate in excess of 105 percent.

“Enterprise wireless remains a hot segment as the mobile Internet takes off, and Ruckus has clearly benefitted by having a highly differentiated solution. Enterprises are also looking to deliver users new levels of reliable connectivity and signal range as they look to make Wi-Fi the primary method of connectivity. We are pleased that Gartner has looked beyond conventional market share rankings and taken an innovative approach to better measuring vendor performance in this space,” said Sudarshan Boosupalli, India Country Head, Ruckus Wireless.

No Contract Instructor Regurgitating Someone Else’s Materials! Learn from the Expert!

Bangalore, March 31, 2010: The best of India’s Java and RIA programmers have learnt the subject from Marty’s seminal books Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages (first and second editions), More Servlets and JavaServer Pages, and Core Web Programming (first and second editions) from Prentice Hall and Sun Microsystems Press. Now is the opportunity to meet him and learn from him first-hand. From 26-28 April in Bangalore, India, attend a practical, hands-on training on Ajax and RIAs personally developed and taught by leading Java EE and Ajax developer, speaker, and author Marty Hall

“Ajax” designates the set of techniques that enable Web applications to asynchronously update small portions of the pages based on server-side data. First popularized by Google, these techniques are now being widely applied in Web applications, and increase the performance, flexibility, richness, and interactivity of Web sites and Web-based applications. However, Ajax programming is complex and poorly understood. In the course, for client-side code, the class uses jQuery, the single-most widely used JavaScript library. For server-side code, the class uses Java. The class also covers foundational topics like JavaScript programming, core Ajax approaches, XML and JSON data handling, and Ajax development and debugging tools.

Marty has taught Ajax, GWT, and Java EE courses onsite for dozens of organizations in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Puerto Rico, India, and the Philippines, all to rave reviews. The course consists of an approximately equal mixture of lecture and hands-on lab time and assumes that all students have moderate-to-strong Java skills and at least a little bit of experience with Web apps in Java (servlets and/or JSP). The course does not assume any previous exposure to Ajax, nor does it presume JavaScript knowledge.

Frost & Sullivan: Prospects Upbeat for Indian Distribution Market for Mobile Services with Prolific Uptake of Mobile Phones and Widening Base of Service Providers

Mumbai, India, March 22, 2010 / IndiaPRLine / — Explosive growth in the Indian mobile services markets is enlivening prospects for distribution partners that are assisting mobile service providers (MSPs) operating in this space. To reach out to customers, MSPs use nearly 2.1 million outlets/shops, which range from simple pan shops and kiranas to sophisticated showrooms and supermarkets. With the Indian market seeing 8-10 mobile service providers per telecom circle, the pressure on the existing channels of distribution has intensified considerably.

The MSPs and the intermediaries in the chain are devising smart strategies to serve customers amicably. There is an accelerated attempt toward penetrating the market and reaching out to customers in a location of maximum convenience.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan ( http://www.wireless.frost.com ), Distribution is KING in Mobile Service, finds that the market earned revenues of INR 4,074 billion in 2008-09 and estimates this to reach INR 5,033 in 2014-15.

“The Indian Government is avidly promoting mobile services, especially rural telephony, and the regulatory push has provided forward momentum for the market,” says Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Samarth Narayan. “The inclusion of the rural population in the mobile services growth story has necessitated newer channels of distribution and innovative ways of ensuring availability in far flung rural locations.”

New avenues for market penetration are opening up for MSPs, thereby helping them to connect to wider geographical areas. However, the geographical spread of the Indian towns and poor infrastructure are major challenges for participants in the mobile services value chain.

Although the rural population is poised to drive the next phase of subscriber additions, poverty and low affordability remain major roadblocks. Electricity problems in the rural areas are further complicating matters. Financial inclusion will see more of the rural population becoming a part of mainstream business.

In the absence of a nation wide organized distribution chain, MSPs have to route their services to market through a maze of channels. This has made the Indian market one of the most challenging markets for distribution of mobile services. Evidence points to a greater lack of control as the service progresses down the value chain. The flow of information and hence the control over the mode of distribution of services is always under jeopardy from a MSP standpoint.

Arbitration issues in the distribution chain have affected the consistency and efficiency of the distribution mechanism. Due to the unorganized nature of the market, higher commission rates go to distributors. MSPs need to ensure sound distribution mechanisms with effective information flow in the chain to ensure maximum customer satisfaction, and thereby induce loyalty in a mobile services market, where customers are highly spoilt with choices.

To improve business prospects, mobile service providers need to partner with distributors who have good investment capability coupled with a fair amount of technical competence and knowledge of the local market. This is even more important for the newer MSPs who today have to set-up a robust distribution system for profitable operations.

“The road ahead for effective distribution is leveraging the online/mobile channels as well as working toward a nation wide organized distribution chain,” says Narayan. “With the able support of the government and synergy between the participants in the mobile services chain, the infrastructure challenges faced can be overcome effectively, thereby ensuring a well-oiled distribution system.”

Distribution is KING in Mobile Service is part of the Mobile & Wireless Growth Partnership Service program, which also includes research in the following markets: Mobile VAS Market in India, Mobile Advertising – The Building Block for Future VAS Growth, India OSS/BSS Market Overview. All research services included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends that have been evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants.

The website (http://virtualtransport.rta.ae/) provides an insight into every aspect of the Dubai Metro, replete with an interactive virtual tour of the entire Metro experience as well as videos of trip scenarios pertaining to all kinds of travelers in the city. It shows how different means of public transportation can be combined to make way for an easy, economical and timesaving commute.

On the launch, Abdullah Al Madani, CEO, Corporate Technical Support Services Sector, RTA, said the website aims to educate people about the benefits of using public transport. “The underlying objective of launching this virtual transport website is to enlighten people about the integrated benefits of Dubai Metro and encourage them to use the metro instead of their private vehicles.

The website also incorporates exciting flash-based games that test users’ knowledge of the Dubai Metro. The Trip Scenarios section caters to all classes of Metro users – office-goers, students, friends, the differently-abled, shoppers, tourists, housewives, etc. – and helps them identify the best ways of using different means of public transport.
