Hampshire, UK – 14th May 2012: Intelligent vehicles, through embedded connectivity, will be directly responsible for creating revenues of $14.4 billion by 2016, as existing telematics players extend to new geographical markets and expand their service models in the next five years, finds a new report from Juniper Research.

After-market focus

New Telematics units that can be installed once the vehicle is on the road from players like OnStar will give the market a second wind, finds the report. Meanwhile the range of subscription services on offer is becoming more comprehensive says Juniper Research.

“Intelligent vehicles can now come equipped with features including safety, security, navigation and emergency service access under the same subscription,” says Anthony Cox, the report’s author, noting that targeted services for insurance and stolen vehicle recovery are also gaining momentum through regional players. For most telematics areas, however, the US is ahead of other geographical regions finds, the report.

Further findings from the Telematics and Smart Vehicles report include:

By 2016 there will be 92 million internet-connected vehicles on the road, featuring technology to integrate the smartphone into the head-unit.

Commercial telematics is seeing sustained take-up, driven by its promise of increasing driver efficiency and managing costs

In the commercial telematics market, Juniper Research observes an increasing level of sophistication as fleet managers use telematics to increase fleet efficiency, comply with regulation and monitor driver behaviour. Players are also leveraging the power of the cloud and internet portals to enhance the service they offer.

The ‘Telematics ~ The Route Ahead’ whitepaper can be downloaded from the Juniper website along with further details of the study Telematics & Smart Vehicles: Infotainment & Commercial Uses, Insurance & Vehicle Recovery 2012-2016.

CAMPBELL, Calif., May 10, 2012 — A new report from Mobile Experts highlights three new technologies which will revolutionize the market for RF components in mobile devices.

“We have five disruptive trends at the same time: Envelope Tracking (ET), Multimode multiband power amplifiers (MMPA), CMOS PAs, Antenna Tuning, and MIMO,” explained Joe Madden, Principal Analyst at Mobile Experts. “Taken together, these changes will create a wholly new architecture for 2015 handsets, tablets, and PCs.

“The number of frequency bands and modes in a mobile handset is growing rapidly. Mobile device OEMs are faced with runaway cost, if they support all of the LTE frequency bands that are coming. Even with these new technologies, the RF content in a high-end smartphone will increase from $6 to $10 over five years.

“Mobile Experts investigated each technology individually, but we found that each disruptive technology is related to the others. CMOS amplifiers will use Envelope Tracking technology. Tuning elements will be used for impedance matching. MIMO will drive huge market growth for antennas and filters. We interviewed more than 50 companies to thoroughly investigate the interplay between all of these new trends.”

This product announcement extends their leadership of more than 3 years in providing Ultra-Low-Latency Full TCP Offload technology and solutions. Their mature, network proven, and real-time deployed series of TOE’s have been implemented in hundreds of networks worldwide.

This Nano-TOE IP-Core delivers unmatched latency measured at 76 nanoseconds at 100% 10G line-rate at full duplex. Its Full TCP Offload is fully compliant with IEEE802.3 specifications and required RFCs of the TCP/IP protocol. It uses Streaming FIFO interface for data and configuration is done via industry standard AXI/PLB and other CPU Interfaces that allow seamless drop-in integration with Altera, Xilinx, Tabula FPGA[] devices and ASICs.

The Nano-TOE IP-Core series implements many key features in pure hardware such as; IPv4, ARP, ICMP, VLAN, Jumbo frames up to 9K bytes plus many more options. The standard Core supports up to 256 concurrent TCP sessions which can easily be scaled down or up depending upon available FPGA resources and user design requirements. In addition, protocols filtering with partial or full bypass are supported. Many internal or external memory interfaces e.g. DDR, QDR are also available. Many TCP protocol and several performance level features are fully customizable as design options, e.g. scalable size of Rx and Tx FIFOs, more than 256 sessions, multiple TOEs in a single FPGA or adjacent FPGAs, selective ACKs, Slow Start etc. Using these robust feature-sets and design options, network system architects are successfully designing and deploying world-class systems and applications tailored to their specific needs and to differentiate their solutions from others.

Our existing series of IPs and solutions have been delivering very high performance and cost-effective systems for the most complex networks out there, and this translates into tremendous ROI and unmatched performance edge for our customers”, says Kelly Masood, Intilop’s CTO.

BEIJING, CHINA – A new survey conducted among mobile users in China reveals who is buying mobile apps, user preferences for iOS or Android[], and user tolerance for ads appearing in their apps. A wide range of revealing data points about today’s typical mobile user in China are explored in a new study by Guohe, a mobile advertising management platform, Mobile Advertising: Six Key Trends in 2012 – How marketers can best utilize mobile advertising as part of an integrated digital strategy in China.

Guohe surveyed 600 users of mobile phones including Apple, HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Sony, Ericsson, and others. 54% of users interviewed had Android phones, and 39% had jailbroken phones.

The survey showed that users were most accepting of ads within news apps and least tolerant of them in apps such as photography, graphics, or even location and map apps. Gaming as a category is a hit with both iOS and Android users and works well for advertisers choosing to reach users through gaming apps where the study showed a significantly higher click-through rate.

iPhones tend to be more expensive than their Android counterparts in China, so it follows that more affluent city dwellers, entrepreneurs, businesspeople, and fashion-conscious users buy iPhones and gravitate toward game, utility, and shopping apps. On the other hand, Android users are more into reading apps.

According to Guohe, a greater percentage of China’s iOS users spend more money on apps than do Android users, possibly because of Apple’s early willingness to accept China’s RMB currency as payment. In fact, only 23% of the study’s Android users ever purchased any apps, though they’ve likely downloaded plenty of free apps from over 100 different third party app stores for Android in China, mostly offering them for free. About 25% of iPhone users surveyed prefer paid apps that are ad-free.

Conversely, only 13% of Android users would rather buy an app that is ad-free rather than get a free app monetized by inserted ads. Many people in China choose to buy Android phones in the first place because free apps are more plentiful than for iPhones. In addition to the many independent Android app resources, mobile device makers like HTC and mobile service providers like China Mobile also have their own app stores pre-installed on selected mobile devices.

Generally, though, consumer attention on mobile platforms is far from being fully utilized, particularly in China. “2012 will be the tipping point for everything mobile, as we see proliferation of high quality mobile apps developed for the China market, and faster adoption of 3G networks. And we are working hard on making brand contents specifically tailored for the mobile consumer.” said Neo Zhang, co-founder of Guohe Ad.
