EZURiO chosen as one of the “100 most important and influential machine-to-machine technology providers” by M2M Magazine

Wooburn Green Dec 06, 2006 M2M Magazine – the voice of the machine to machine industry today announced that they have chosen EZURiO Ltd as one of the 100 companies in their global selection of influential companies within the growing M2M sector.
“This year’s M2M 100 directory provides a snapshot of an emerging market and identifies the companies with the greatest impact on its direction,” says Michael Jarosik, editor of M2M magazine. “The year was marked by two major themes: consolidation and maturity. Companies are delivering solutions that make it easier to adopt machine-to-machine communications and realize the technology’s enormous business value.”
The M2M 100 is a directory of the most important and influential machine-to-machine solution providers as determined by the editors of M2M magazine and its editorial advisory board. Companies are chosen through an exhaustive selection process based on criteria including: strength and number of customer references; strength of product/service portfolio; strength of business model; establishment and active involvement in the M2M market; and growth potential.
EZURiO is proud to be included in this list. Already EZURiO is enabling M2M applications providing everything to create a complete end to end wireless solution. EZURiO has steadily matured from the delivery of wireless modules into a company that now delivers complete solutions. EZURiO helps its partners to deliver true world class wireless products in some of the most demanding markets including ePOS chip and pin equipment, medical devices, vending equipment and vehicle telematics.
“It’s great to see the level of industry recognition”, said Chris Shannon, CEO of Ezurio. “We are concentrating on expanding the use of short range wireless applications to M2M and automation. Our customer base stretches around the world and our experience is such that companies increasingly come to us as they realise that we have the expertise to deliver a true M2M solution.”
EZURiO recently announced a range of 802.11 wireless modules specifically targeted at the M2M market, as well as Bluetooth modules with extended ranges of over 1km.

Tek Gear Delivers eMagin OLEDs for Critical Military System

An accessory for STS's AN/PVS-21 Low Profile Night Vision Goggle, the E-HUD gives the device unmatched sensor fusion capabilities. The E-HUD can overlay external video signals, such as navigation data or the output of a thermal scope, onto the real world scene. This provides the user with a high level of situational awareness.
"We selected the O2 as it was the only drop-in solution that could provide us with the high-resolution, low-power and all-weather operation that our customers demand," said Alan Page, General Manager, STS. "The OLED-XL provides the sharpest, brightest and most vibrant image we have seen on a microdisplay."
Tek Gear originally designed, tested and delivered the O2 kit with eMagin's color SVGA+ OLED microdisplay. According to Tony Havelka, President, Tek Gear, "When we did our tests with the new color OLED-XL we were amazed that we could obtain an incredibly bright image (>300 cd/m2) at less than 900mW for the entire system at its highest luminance setting. We immediately switched to the OLED-XL for the O2 Kit as this kind of power efficiency means longer run times and fewer batteries for troops to carry in the field."
"This first announced implementation of our OLED-XL technology bears out the promise of the technology that we first saw in our labs," noted Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin Corporation. "Tek Gear's quick implementation of the technology for the E-HUD certainly amplifies their integration capabilities and enhances their reputation as a major resource for custom wearable display systems."
eMagin's new OLED-XL devices typically feature significantly longer (>4x) luminance half life and exhibit at least twice the nominal luminance. The new technology also improves on eMagin OLED microdisplays' industry-leading power efficiency, depending on the specific OLED-XL product and operating parameters.
For the OLED-XL microdisplays, eMagin scientists developed a more efficient OLED structure while maintaining pixel-level efficiency. The results are brighter microdisplays that require no additional power consumption. Typical power consumption of a full color SVGA+ or SVGA 3D OLED-XL display running 60 Hz video at 60 cd/m2 is less than 250 mW. No heaters or special modes are required to achieve high quality, instant-on video performance at temperature ranges up to -40 degrees C and +65 degrees C.
Tek Gear specializes in designing electronic sub-systems for microdisplays used in near to eye applications. The O1, the world's smallest universal controller for eMagin's entire OLED product range, is no larger than the OLED itself. The O2 OEM Kit takes integration a step further by adding a higher efficiency power supply and luminance control to the controller and coupling it with an OLED-XL display. Integrating microdisplays into a near-eye product has never been easier.
