Consumer Electronics Daily News 4 9 Friday, January 11, 2019 of three unique companies that would serve as subsidiaries of the parent compa- ny. The subsidiary offerings span the fol- lowing categories: Wireless Service Provider – prepaid mobile, high speed data, OTT TV streaming and data hosting services; Media Services – 3D imaging, advance modeling, and related products and services; Enterprise Solutions – information technology (IT) infrastruc- ture, including enterprise machine to machine technology, networking products and solutions, technology support and maintenance, fix based network systems, antennas, routers, CPE equipment; ODM – multi-vendor customer services, technology consulting, outsourcing, support services, applications and business process develop- ment and design services; Industrial Applications – software products and hard- ware solutions, including application testing and delivery software, lean data analytics, Noitavonne (Cont'd. from p. 1) telemetry, global information systems and mobile network operations management. We offer one of the industry's broad- est portfolios of cutting-edge communi- cation products and services. This portfo- lio has been derived by consumer desires to create more value out of the tools they interact with. As consumers and enter- prises shift the way technology is creat- ed, delivered, consumed and paid for, they are demanding a foundation that will support much greater agility, lower cost, facilitate quicker time-to-market, and provide a higher degree of accessibility by end-users to that technology. We design our solutions to provide that foun- dation, particularly in the areas of securi- ty, mobility and lean data management, by leveraging the breadth of our offerings and the strengths and capabilities of our individual business units.

Jeff Brown, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for SecuGen, stated, "The U10-SF optical fingerprint sensor mod- ule is the culmination of a multi-year development process. One strand of that process was to reduce the size of the sen- sor to our smallest ever. The second strand of the process was to merge a Single Board Computer with the finger- print sensor module and embed an open Linux development environment, making this product unique in the industry. Combining all of this with its low price and astonishingly small size is a major breakthrough." "The SecuGen engineering team has continued to innovate and has developed a new approach to delivering world class OEM sensors," commented Vice President of Engineering, Dan Riley. "The U10-SF combines very challenging design goals: small size, a fully program- mable device, and an affordable price. Our team has successfully delivered on this vision with the U10-SF. We are very excited about this product." Won Lee, Chief Executive Officer of SecuGen, added, "As always, we have been focused on delivering to our SecuGen (Cont'd. from p. 4) OEM partners the tools they need to compete successfully in this highly competitive industry. The U10-SF is a perfect example of this focus. Our team has worked long and hard on this prod- uct, and we are very proud of the out- come."

We recognize the challenges our veterans face. The transition to civilian life can be men- tally, physically and emotionally stress- ful, and veterans are unemployed at a higher rate than non-veterans. Sometimes that means they can't meet financial obli- gations – utility bills, rent, communica- tion costs – and need a little boost. Our Helping Heroes Home program has pro- vided one-time grants to more than 3,000 veterans. We believe that our veterans are owed a lifetime of support for their work protecting our country. We help our troops stay connected with their loved ones. Though international calling is less of a hassle than it was when we first started, many deployed troops find that having a personal phone is impossible during a tour, either because of cost or security rea- sons. Our Minutes That Matter program has given more than 350 million minutes (and counting!) on calling cards to deployed men and women so they can call home. Maintaining connections with home during a deployment is critical to morale and to reassuring families at home. We're green! Earlier this year, Cell Phones for Cell Phones for Soldiers (Cont'd. from p. 1) Soldiers received our R2 certification which allows us to receive, sort, test, data erase and responsibly downstream donated devices. Cell Phones for Soldiers both repurposes used devices and gives them to veterans in need and recycles them for their valuable parts that can be sold and reused. This serves a number of environmentally friendly purposes: it keeps electronic waste from landfills, where harmful materials can cause damage to human health and frag- ile ecosystems; recycling plastic helps us do our part to keep non-biodegrad- able material out of our oceans; and recycling the rare earth metals used in electronic devices reduces the need for mining. To date, we have recycled more than 15 million mobile devices! It's easy to give. You can contribute to Cell Phones For Soldiers by donating money directly and securely through our website, or by send- ing us your old cell phones and mobile devices. You can either print off a ship- ping label and send in your recycled items or find one of our more than 4,000 drop-off sites by doing a location search. Cell Phones For Soldiers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and we rely on your tax-deductible donations to connect our country's bravest men and women. Even a small donation makes a difference – give today!

CEDN: How will 5G affect companies that provide a physical product? JT: So far, the physical world and the digital world have coexisted alongside each other, such as a rideshare booking service or an app sitting on a car dash- board, managed by the driver. Online shopping, social media, streaming servic- es and other digital services are all con- ducted on a screen, hardly touching the physical world. This is changing, as IoT establishes more embedded connectivity – a real merger of digital with physical. Today's physical products are often software-driven and defined, because software brings the competitive advan- tage, so there are opportunities to add more functionality over time and charge accordingly. Connected sensors, for example, can be placed in factory equip- ment to feed information into a cloud- based "digital twin" – a digital model of the physical environment or equipment – which can be used to optimize manufac- Ericsson (Cont'd. from p. 1) turing flows. As the digital world merges into the physical, products will evolve in ways we probably can't even predict. CEDN: What challenges still remain to enable massively connected physical products? JT: It's still early days for IoT, and the industry is fragmented with many types of chipsets, without any default operating system for connected devices. Compare this fragmentation to your smartphone, which is much more standardized and has led to massive scale, lower costs and a huge variety of apps available. We need the same scale in IoT. Privacy and security are also big issues that need to be addressed. Extra value is created when organizations are able to share and combine the data with that of their partners, customers and other stakeholders, to enable innovation. So, we must determine what kind of data we're all able to share, all balanced with data confidentiality, privacy and security.
