Toshiba's New e-MMC, UFS NAND Flash Memory Solutions Feature Optimized, Integrated Controllers for Enhanced Performance

Boost Read/Write Speeds in Demanding Applications

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc.(TAEC) has enhanced its lineup of managed NAND devices with the addition of new Embedded Multimedia Card (e-MMC) and Universal Flash Storage (UFS) embedded memory solutions.  Featuring enhanced integrated controller technologies, the new 'Supreme+' e-MMC (JEDEC ver. 5.1) and UFS (JEDEC ver. 2.1) offerings deliver significant read and write speed improvements to demanding applications.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161020/431159

In contrast to raw NAND flash memory solutions, e-MMC and UFS devices integrate NAND flash memory and a controller chip in a single package. This saves space and relieves host processors of the burden of key memory management functions including bad block management, error correction, wear leveling, and garbage collection. As a result, e-MMC and UFS devices simplify design when compared to standalone memory ICs with a standard NAND flash interface.

Available in capacities from 16GB to 128GB, Toshiba's new e-MMC devices are based on the company's 15nm process technology - which makes for a chip size that is among the world's smallest. Sequential read and write speeds of 320MB/sec and 180MB/sec are approximately two percent and 20 percent faster than the read and write speeds of Toshiba's previous devices([1]). Random read and write speeds are approximately 100 percent and 140 percent faster than previous devices([1]).

While e-MMC reaches a theoretical limit with an 8bit parallel interface of 400MB/sec, UFS memory extends interface performance through high-speed differential signaling using a MIPI M-PHY interface. This results in theoretical performance of 1166MB/sec by supporting a 2-lane MIPI M-PHY HS-G3 interface.

The new UFS devices are also based on Toshiba's 15nm MLC NAND flash technology and are available in capacities from 32GB to 128GB. When compared to previous devices, sequential read and write speeds of 850MB/sec and 180MB/sec represent improvements of approximately 40 percent and 16 percent, while random read and write performance is improved by approximately 120 percent and 80 percent, respectively([1]).

Toshiba manufactures both the flash memory and the controller technology deployed in its e-MMC and UFS memory devices. The company also developed in-house the analogue M-PHY 3.0 core and digital UniPro 1.6 core that are integrated with the new UFS controller. As a result, the controller is closely matched to the requirements of managing the target flash memory, which ensures optimized device performance.

For more information on Toshiba's flash memory solutions, please visit toshiba.com/technologymoves, read the TAEC Memory Blog and follow the company on Facebook and Twitter.

Universal Flash Storage (UFS) is a trademark and product category for a class of embedded memory products built to the JEDEC UFS standard specification.

e-MMC is a trademark and a product category for a class of embedded memory products built to the JEDEC e-MMC Standard specification.

Product density is identified based on the density of memory chip(s) within the Product, not the amount of memory capacity available for data storage by the end user. Consumer-usable capacity will be less due to overhead data areas, formatting, bad blocks, and other constraints, and may also vary based on the host device and application. For details, please refer to applicable product specifications.

Read and write speeds are calculated as 1MB/sec = 1,000,000bytes/sec.  Actual read and write speed may vary depending on the device, read and write conditions, and file size.

New Handheld, Portable Stadiometer Released for First Time in US by InBody

InBody, a leading manufacturer of body composition analyzers, has released the InBody PUSH - a handheld, portable stadiometer - in the United States for parents and healthcare professionals that need a convenient way to measure a child's growth

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks the official United States launch of the InBody PUSH, a handheld, portable stadiometer that allows for quick and accurate height measurements to be taken with a single push of a button. In one second, the InBody PUSH can accurately measure a child or teen's height, with a margin of error of less than 0.2 inches.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161024/432022

"Parents often think of their child's growth in terms of height and weight," said Jeff Kim, Head of Marketing and Public Relations. "InBody has long helped people understand their body weight in a much more meaningful way through body composition analysis. Now, with the InBody PUSH, we're offering a deeper understanding of the other significant portion of a child's physical development - their height."

Used together with the PUSH: Growth Diary app (available for free in the App Store or Google Play Store), the InBody PUSH allows parents to track and trend their child's height against the CDC Growth Chart. This allows parents to compare their child's rate of growth against the average for their age. This graph allows a comparison for children and teens between the ages of 3 - 20. The InBody PUSH is suitable for measuring height from 1'7" to 6'6".

The PUSH: Growth Diary app also includes the option to take a photo of a child and pair it with a height measurement to add a visual component to each record.

The InBody PUSH uses ultrasound technology to collect its measurements. After leveling the InBody PUSH on a child's head, the device emits an ultrasonic wave that reflects off a hard floor. The device computes height after recording the time delay between sending and receiving the signal.

Visit the InBody PUSH on Amazon for complete details and price information.

It's why we're not only proud to host Simplygon in the Asset Store but why we rely on it for our own projects."
Scott Peterson, Creative Director at Unity Technologies

Sólfar

"Simplygon was key to enabling the creation of Everest VR, which allows you to scale this iconic mountain in a series of real-time 3D scenes. Using Simplygon, we were able to automatically optimize scenes that comprised as much as 2 billion polygons down to 25 million polygons distributed on 5 LOD levels, resulting in a VR Experience that not only delivers unrivalled visual performance in Unreal Engine for PC and console platforms but also at the extremely high framerate that VR demands while maintaining fidelity with the original data."
Kjartan Pierre Emilsson, CEO at Sólfar Studios

TurboSquid
"Many of our artists use Simplygon to quickly generate high-quality decimations prior to publishing, as a good set of LODs can add a ton of value to their model on TurboSquid. At the same time, customers can take advantage of a larger portion of our catalog by using Simplygon to easily optimize a TurboSquid model that might otherwise be considered too dense for their project. It's been great to see Simplygon emerge as an industry standard, and we look forward to even greater adoption now that it's free."

Vayyar Advances Smart Home Solutions and Applications With Its Powerful 3D Imaging Sensor Technology

3D Imaging Sensors Transform Healthcare Monitoring, Immediately Locate People in Structural Fires, Alert for Intruders, Deliver Personalized Content and Decrease Bandwidth Drain for Cable Companies

SAN FRANCISCO and TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vayyar Imaging (http://vayyar.com), the 3D-imaging sensor company whose technology makes it possible to see through objects, liquids, and materials, today announced the availability of its award-winning 3D sensor technology for the Smart Home market. Vayyar's powerful 3D sensors see through known barriers to precisely detect, identify and track multiple individuals' motion, falls and vital signs and deliver unparalleled 3D imaging optimized for the home environment. Vayyar's 3D sensors also ensure greater privacy through camera-free monitoring, making them ideal for home healthcare, security, sophisticated home automation and entertainment delivery. Vayyar's Smart Home sensor was recently awarded Best New Technology by an audience of more than 350 cable company executives during the Innovation Showcase at the CableLabs® conference.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151215/295930LOGO

"Until today, the technology currently available within the Smart Home ecosystem has been limited in supporting advanced features. It has either violated individuals' privacy through the use of cameras, required multiple installations in every room, and required people to wear special tracking bracelets," said Raviv Melamed, CEO and co-founder, Vayyar Imaging. "Our 3D sensors do not need cameras to gather and share data or multiple networks set up throughout the house. They open up incredible opportunities for cable companies, fire and security companies, healthcare, and other service providers to offer premium, value-added services to their customers at low cost and with minimal implementation requirements."

Advancing Smart Home Applications

Vayyar's 3D sensors are compact, cost-effective and powerful. They require minimal installation and cover large areas, which reduces the need for multiple sensors throughout a home and minimizes the cost of installation for the end customer. The patented 3D sensor technology uses radio frequency (RF) to deliver unprecedented Smart Home capabilities, including:

    --  Healthcare monitoring of the elderly, family or children - Monitors
        breathing and vital signs of multiple individuals in a home, and alerts
        a care provider if a fall occurs or breathing stops. Unlike other 3D
        imaging technologies on the market, Vayyar's 3D imaging sensors do not
        require the use of a camera, ensuring privacy for the monitored
        individuals.
    --  Advanced security and safety features in case of fire or intruder alert
        - Tracks the real-time movement of individuals inside a home - even
        through the walls; quickly pinpoints and locates people in a structural
        fire or should home security be breached.
    --  Cable content and entertainment delivery - Enables cable companies to
        offer highly personalized and targeted content and entertainment
        delivery based on an individual's height, preference, and location in
        their home.
    --  Decrease bandwidth drain - Identify if someone is asleep in a room with
        the TV on, and instantly reduce the broadcast to SD (standard
        definition) versus HD (high definition) or Ultra HD 4K to save network
        bandwidth.
There are vast implications for Vayyar's 3D sensors in the Smart Home sector. According to research firm Statista, "Smart Home household penetration in the U.S. is at 5.82 percent in 2016, and is expected to hit 18.62 percent in 2020." Further, "Revenue in the 'Smart Home' market accounts for USD $9.7 billion in 2016, and is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2016-2020) resulting in a market volume of USD $20.8 billion in 2020."

Tektronix Releases New 100G Link Training Tool for Debugging Datacenter Technologies

Expanded Analysis Software for DPO70000SX Series Oscilloscopes Helps Engineers Debug Complex 100G Datacenter Interconnects

BEAVERTON, Ore., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Tektronix, a leading worldwide provider of measurement solutions, today released a new 100G link training tool for use with its DPO70000SX family of ultra-high performance oscilloscopes. This new option, along with expanded measurement support for 100G electrical debug and validation, addresses critical needs in the growing datacenter market. Featuring patented Asynchronous Time Interleaving (ATI) signal acquisition technology, the DPO70000SX platform offers industry-best signal fidelity and performance, making it the ideal tool for validating and troubleshooting high-speed Ethernet communications links.

Coupled with this new link training support, the Tektronix DPO70000SX also provides datacenter design teams with the ability to increase the capacity and precision of high speed data transfer through support for both NRZ and PAM4 signaling. The high-speed oscilloscope provides analysis of 28 & 56Gbaud PAM4 including built-in BER and automated standards compliance reporting for popular datacenter technologies like CAUI-4. For more information on Tektronix PAM4 solutions go to: http://www.tek.com/datasheet/pam4-transmitter-analysis-datasheet

"Tektronix is committed to supporting the growing need to debug 100G technologies as datacenter technologies drive more design activity -- and introduce new challenges," said Brian Reich, general manager, Performance Oscilloscopes, Tektronix. "With the addition of 100G link training support on top of our already robust PAM4 analysis tools, the 70GHz DPO70000SX Oscilloscope is providing designers with a complete solution that increases productivity and enables them to deliver a competitive advantage in their time to market."

OmniVision Launches 12-Megapixel PureCel®Plus-S Sensor for High-End Consumer Drones and Action Cameras

New OV12895 Features Fast Frame Rate, Slow-Motion Video, and a Low-Power Mode

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced the OV12895, the latest addition to the PureCel(®)Plus-S product line that offers stacked-die technology. This 12-megapixel image sensor leverages a 1.55-micron pixel and high-speed architecture to deliver best-in-class performance for consumer-grade drones, surveillance systems, and 360-degree action cameras.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161021/431511

Highlights of the OV12895 include:

    --  12-megapixel still-image capture
    --  4K2K resolution at 60 frames per second (FPS)
    --  1080p resolution at 240 FPS resolution for slow-motion videos
    --  12-bit readout architecture that provides high-bit depth snapshots
    --  A low chief ray angle of 5 degrees that is suitable for mature lens
        ecosystems
    --  Availability in RW and CLGA formats
"We are seeing rapid growth in the markets for consumer drones, surveillance systems, and 360-degree action cameras, in part due to the increasing demand for aerial photography and 4K-resolution panoramic videos in security and virtual reality applications. The 12-megapixel OV12895 aligns well with these consumer product segments because it strikes a balance between solid pixel performance and high resolution, in a widely used 1/2.3-inch optical format," said Kalairaja Chinnaveerappan, senior product marketing manager at OmniVision. "The OV12895 builds on our latest-generation PureCel Plus-S stacked-die architecture and has many desirable features for these applications."

PureCel Plus-S Architecture
The OV12895 is built on OmniVision's PureCel Plus-S stacked-die architecture featuring backside illumination for ultra-high resolution and crisp, vibrant images across all light levels. The stacked-die structure allows for additional sensor functionality while enabling smaller die sizes when compared with non-stacked sensors, resulting in smaller module sizes for larger optical format sensors.

OV12895 Resolution and Frame Rate Specifications:

    --  High-quality slow-motion video capture with full field of view
    --  Full-resolution 10-bit images and video at 45 FPS in a 4:3 aspect ratio

Retro Fighters Launches Next Generation NES Retro Controller

CHATSWORTH, Calif., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Retro Fighters, a new retro video game accessory manufacturer, launches its first product, the next generation designed NES Controller, "Jab Gamepad".

Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20161024/432032

The Retro Fighters Jab Gamepad is the first NES compatible controller to be completely redesigned with next generation features & attributes. The next-gen styled controller has a completely updated look over the original NES controller. The Retro Fighters NES controller gets rid of the rectangular shape and replaces it with a modern ergonomically shaped controller, which ensures the best user experience and a comfortable grip. With its custom design, the comfortable D-pad puts less stress on thumbs. One of the biggest features is the new ergonomic layout of the B & A buttons. This repositioning of the buttons allows for a more comfortable and engrossing experience.

B & A shoulder and trigger buttons are added and can be used in conjunction with analog sticks or the D-pad to allow for numerous button combinations. These additions make the controller versatile for any genre of games and for all types of gamers. The analog sticks can also act as buttons, allowing any game to be played solely using the analog sticks. Finally, a turbo function was added to the controller for games where a little extra help is needed.

"We're not looking to replace the classic NES controller, we just wanted to create a whole new fun experience for the retro gaming community. The Retro Fighters NES Jab Gamepad is compatible with the NES, PC, MAC and aftermarket NES systems," stated Retro Fighters Head of Product Development, Robert Lomeli.

"We felt it was important that the controller was universally compatible and worked straight out of the box, whether you're playing on a 3(rd) party NES system, an original NES system or computer, just plug in and play."

The Retro Fighters Jab Gamepad is available now at ThinkGeek.com, eStarland.com & Amazon.com.

STACKED Continues Cord-Cutting Crusade, Expanding Wireless Charging Ecosystem with New Audio and Car Technologies

STACKED Unveils 360° Speed Case Bundle, Audio Pack and 360° Car Charger for the Holidays

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- STACKED, a leader in reinventing the way people charge their mobile devices, today announced the launch of three new products that deliver power, unleashed: the 360° Speed Case Bundle for iPhone 6/6s and 6/6s Plus, which features an improved second-generation 360° Speed Case, the industry's slimmest, sleekest and lightest wireless charging case; the new Audio Pack; and the 360° Car Charger. These innovations further cement the company's mission for category disruption, providing the fastest, most comprehensive wire-free charging ecosystem.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161024/431924LOGO

STACKED changed the way consumers power their iPhones on-the-go in 2015 when the company launched the original 360° Speed Case for the iPhone 6/6s and 6/6s Plus. As the first truly wireless charging solution, STACKED radically improved the mobile charging experience by eliminating the need for bulky battery cases, portable power banks and cumbersome cables. At the center of the STACKED system is a powerful wireless 360° speed connector that charges and syncs an iPhone faster than any other method. This proprietary wireless charging technology is built into each STACKED case, battery pack, wall charger, audio accessory and dock. When the phone is in the low-battery zone, users simply "click" a battery pack securely to the protective case. Once charged, remove the pack to lose the deadweight. With its game-changing technology, superior functionality and performance, and relentless commitment to design, STACKED continues to be at the forefront of wireless charging.

"Our phones are an integral part of our daily lives, so everyone deserves continual power without the annoyance of heavy cases and dependence on power cords and wall outlets," said Danny Guez, CEO of STACKED. "The beauty of STACKED's wireless charging mobility system is you'll always have power on-the-go thanks to the fastest, most efficient charging available. No wires, no clutter, no hassle."

360° Speed Case Bundle for iPhone 6/6s and 6/6s Plus
In time for the holidays, STACKED created a bundle that includes the Generation 2 360° Speed Case for the iPhone 6/6s and 6/6s, a 2000 mAh battery pack, and an AC magnetic wireless charging wall plug. At 10.7 mm and 38g, STACKED's 360° Speed Case has been slimmed down to the essentials--simple, wire-free charging and full phone protection--and is the thinnest, lightest wireless charging case on the market. The iPhone easily pops into the one-piece case, which features a patented slide lock offering thin yet resilient protection. STACKED's external 2000 mAh wireless battery pack magnetically attaches and self-aligns to the 360° Speed Case seamlessly, charging at 98 percent efficiency. Lastly, the AC Wall Charger stacks and charges up to five battery packs at once for easy grab-and-go power. Once fully charged, users simply remove the case from the battery pack. Should they want to use the wireless battery pack as a portable charger, the battery features a USB port.

The Speed Case bundle for the iPhone 6/6s and 6/6s Plus is available now in Black/Black and White/Space Grey for $99.99 MRSP at http://www.poweredbystacked.com. The Speed Case Bundle for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will be available in Black/Black and White/Space Grey in December for $99.99.

Audio Pack
Boost music, movies and videos with full range stereo sound on-the-go--anywhere, at any time--with STACKED's Audio Pack. This bass-thumping speaker magnetically connects to a 360° Speed Case, amplifying the iPhone's audio and eliminating the need for a separate portable Bluetooth speaker. Two 30 mm drivers provide full range sound and 4W performance to make calls crystal clear and music loud enough to fill any room. The Audio Pack also has built in Bluetooth for wireless audio away from the phone. STACKED's Audio Pack truly transforms an iPhone into a more powerful audio solution. Additionally, the integrated kickstand allows users to utilize their phone in landscape mode to watch videos or play games with enhanced audio quality.

The Audio Pack will be available in black or white for $69.99 MSRP at http://www.poweredbystacked.com in December.

360° Car Charger
The 360 Car Charger ensures consumers arrive to their destination fully charged. This in-car solution is the ideal universal mounting system for an iPhone, designed for the smallest footprint and ease of use. Working in tandem with the 360° Speed Case, both products magnetically attach to each other, creating a secure connection for an iPhone that is fully adjustable in portrait or landscape viewing angles. Through impeccable design, STACKED avoided flaws seen in most car mounts, such as clumsy brackets and complicated mechanical assembly steps. The 360° Car Charger securely clips into a vehicle's air vent to instantly stack and charge a phone while on the road. This solution also provides a safe place to rest an iPhone in the car, avoiding the dangers and distractions associated with driving.

The 360° Car Charger is available now for $49.99 MSRP at http://www.poweredbystacked.com.

New Disruptor Enters the UK Takeaway Food Fight

LONDON, October 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Fresh entrant to UK takeaway market announces new and improved business model offering
90 per cent lower costs for takeaway restaurants than current competitors, including zero

                                        commission

HeyMenu [http://heymenu.com ], enters the competitive UK online takeaway industry with
plans to disrupt the current market and its competitors, with a new and improved business
model.

    HeyMenu will connect takeaway restaurants and consumers via an easy-to-use and
personalised website and app. HeyMenu's proposition is to provide up to 90 per cent lower
costs to takeaway restaurants than competitors, including zero commission. This is in
addition to more personalisation and dependable technology that ensures orders are not
dropped, payments are secure and reliable and deliveries are tracked from restaurant to
the front door.

    The launch of HeyMenu sees the company on-boarding an average 500 takeaway restaurants
per week, developing at a significant fast-pace, prior to any substantial marketing
activity. The company will launch its full proposition to consumers in December, shaking
up the current battlefield that is the UK takeaway industry.

    Chris Howard, CEO, HeyMenu, comments: "We have been watching, learning and researching
for a while and have identified a number of significant advancements that could be
introduced within the industry. Takeaway restaurants have to pay large percentage fees to
be on certain websites, such as Just Eat and Hungry House, but we believe they are not
being empowered for the price they pay. Their businesses are thriving, however not as much
as they should be, as they are unable to retain most of the profits to re-invest into
their own business. Instead they are working harder and probably for less return. We want
to offer a more rewarding experience and provide unique, personalised options for those
who love good food."

    Chris also adds; "In just over three weeks, we have over 2,000 takeaway restaurants
signed up to HeyMenu and as a result of this unprecedented demand we have substantially
increased the contact centre staff and employed our own face-to-face sales force, along
with direct online sign up, such is the response to our commission free new business
model."

    HeyMenu's aim is to provide the most attractive commercial offering to restaurants,
ensuring that each retains most of its profits, which can then be re-invested and result
in an enhanced quality of service to consumers. With these priorities, HeyMenu aims to
become the provider of choice for restaurants and consumers alike.

    HeyMenu is on track to reach its target of on-boarding 10,000 takeaway restaurants
ahead of its December consumer launch, and anticipates on-boarding up to 250 per day from
there on. As a sign of confidence, HeyMenu offers a full money-back guarantee to all
restaurants that sign up, if they do not save in the first six months.

    Join the conversation and follow HeyMenu on Facebook
[https://www.facebook.com/heymenu/?fref=ts ] and Twitter (@HeyMenu
[https://twitter.com/HeyMenu ]) to keep up to date with the UK Takeaway Food Fight.

Color Brightness Specification and Projector Performance

The color brightness specification (measuring red, green and blue) published by the Society for Information Display (SID) allows consumers to compare projector color performance without conducting a side-by-side shootout. With today's high definition content, presenters can display content with higher quality in brighter environments. For a truly impressive image, projectors need to offer both high color brightness and high white brightness. High color brightness is important for larger screen sizes and provides flexibility for a variety of screen materials. Without sufficient color brightness, images may be muddy, soft and lose detail, even in a dark room. For more information, visit http://www.colorlightoutput.com.

mCanvas Launches Interactive and Vertical Video Innovations for Brands

MUMBAI, October 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    mCanvas, India's first storytelling platform on mobile, today launched interactive and
vertical video ads on premium mobile websites. Vertical video ads enable brands to
leverage the full mobile screen and improve completion rates. Studies indicate that 98% of
the users who use the phone in vertical mode refrain from flipping their phone to
horizontal mode to watch an ad.

    The full screen video ads activate after users engage with mCanvas' proprietary
formats - Scroller and Sticker. User-initiated ads are proven to deliver 82% higher brand
lift than pre-roll video ads, as per a report published by Nielsen. The videos are
designed to be lightweight and play instantly with little or no buffering. The ads adapt
to fit across a myriad of mobile devices and are compatible across Android and iOS.

    Speaking on the launch, Vishal Rupani, COO, mCanvas said, "By virtue of our product
design, our platform delivers up to 57x higher attention to ads in an aesthetic manner
thereby engaging the user. This makes it ideal for brands to launch their product or
service to the digital natives."

    To make the brand story even more immersive, the video ads can be made interactive,
where phone features and sensors can be integrated pre-mid-post video. For example, a user
could shake or tap his phone to reveal a key part of the video, vibrate the phone when a
car engine roars in the video, switch between multiple videos or pan the device to watch
an immersive 360-degree video. Every video ad ends with a closing card which carries the
brand's closing message and relevant CTAs like add to calendar, outbound clicks to landing
pages or app stores, click to call, amongst many others.

    Speaking on the launch, Lavin Punjabi, CEO, mCanvas said, "We're fully committed to
helping brands tell better stories on mobile. Interactive and vertical video is an
important extension of our core vision. We're not stopping here, you will see more
interesting developments from us on this front as we merge the boundaries of rich media
and video."

    mCanvas offers to convert current wide screen TV ads into mobile optimized vertical
video ads at no additional cost.

    A few examples of the various video innovations can be viewed here:

Anodot Enters Financial Sector to Upend BI Stagnation

Business Incident and Anomaly Detection Company Empowers FinTech Companies with Unprecedented Business Intelligence Insights to Prevent Crises and Highlight Opportunities

LAS VEGAS, October 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Anodot [http://www.anodot.com ], the real time business incident detection and
analytics company, has launched its services for financial technology companies. Anodot
will provide machine learning and real-time data streaming analytics to the fintech
companies which are lending and processing transactions in greater quantities than ever
before, and initiating new financial business models.

    Issues like payment drops or page latency erode fintech companies' customer
satisfaction and trust, revenue and brand. Yet intelligence analysts utilizing standard BI
solutions will often miss these and other issues like processing changes, faulty
integrations or visitor behavior changes, or they will learn of them days or weeks after
they occurred.

    This delayed notification is debilitating for companies in the financial industry
which must perform with the highest standard of availability and reliability.

    Anodot's business incident detection solution automatically learns streaming data's
normal behavior including seasonal and other complex patterns, to identify and alert
customers on any combination of metrics that behave abnormally. Anodot finally provides
fintech companies the tools needed to detect and diagnose issues early, resolve them
quickly, and take preemptive actions before they turn into crises. This is a drastic
change from the static nature of BI as it exists today.

    "Fintech companies are charging ahead with increasingly sophisticated technologies,
yet they are relying on old-fashioned BI solutions that do not meet their needs," said
David Drai, CEO of Anodot. "Business intelligence is more than looking at attractive
visualizations on graphs, it is the provision of clear and accurate insights needed to
identify and correct issues which, when undetected, can destabilize companies. As our
client base continues to grow steadily, we are looking forward to welcoming more financial
technology companies to the world of rapid anomaly detection and real time business
analytics."

    Anodot's scalable SaaS solution uses machine learning to learn the normal patterns in
streaming data, and to identify, report, and visualize business incidents in real time, as
they occur.  Anodot's algorithms handle complex data including transactions, transaction
volume, and impressions for every combination of data variables.  It's smart scoring and
correlation of related anomalies decreases alert storms and enables root cause analysis
for rapid and effective management of issues and discovery of business opportunities.  In
10 months since Anodot's launch the company's customers have grown to include scores of
data-centric business, among them Fortune 500 companies.

    Anodot will be exhibiting at Money2020 [https://www.money2020.com ] in Las Vegas this
week at booth K2051.

    About Anodot 

    Anodot provides valuable business insights through anomaly detection. Automatically
uncovering outliers in vast amounts of time series data, Anodot's real time business
incident detection uses patented machine learning algorithms to isolate and correlate
issues across multiple parameters in real time, supporting rapid business decisions.

increased revenue and upturn in customer satisfaction. The company was founded in 2014, is
