NextPlane Announces First Federated Voice/Video Cloud Service for Disparate Unified Communications Platforms

New voice and video service addition to NextPlane Federation Cloud Service expands seamless UC connectivity between different enterprise networks.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (May 12, 2012) -- NextPlane, Inc., the market leader in cloud-based federation services for unified communications (UC), has just launched a new service to federate video and voice across disparate enterprise UC networks. The first stage of the new voice/video Federation-as-a-Service (FaaS) solution will provide voice and video federation between Microsoft (Lync and OCS) and Google Apps.

With the launch of this new service, NextPlane now can interconnect enterprises with voice and video without requiring additional hardware or software and without impacting the end-users’ native UC experience.

Federation of a voice or video call between Microsoft OCS or Lync and Google Apps was previously not possible, but with the NextPlane Federation Cloud providing hi-fidelity federation between the different UC platforms, users get the same features and functions as if they were on the same platform. In addition to adding video support between Microsoft OCS and Lync and Google Apps, the NextPlane Federation Cloud allows users on Microsoft Lync, OCS, and LCS; Cisco Unified Presence Server (CUPS), Jabber XCP, and WebEx Connect; IBM Sametime; Google Apps, and Jive OpenFire to share presence, chat, instant messages, and participate in multi-user chat.

“Enterprise UC users are starting to look beyond their corporate boundaries to enable rich collaboration with customers, partners and suppliers regardless of underlying UC platforms, and taking advantage of a cloud-based service is the best way to establish fast, seamless federation,” said Farzin Shahidi, CEO of NextPlane. “We already support federation between Microsoft Lync or OCS and Google Apps for IM, presence, and multi-user chat, but this new service marks the first time we offering video as well as voice federation. Our long-term objective is to eliminate the UC Tower of Babel and make it possible to federate any service from any UC platform through a cloud-based service.”

Even with open standards such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), seamless federation of multi-vendor UC platforms that give users all the rich features of presence, multi-user chat, and other UC functions remains an elusive challenge for enterprises and service providers. NextPlane overcomes this challenge by providing a common, integrated platform so enterprise customers can allow users to work together as if they were served by a common UC platform, sharing presence, exchanging IM, and participating in multiparty chat, voice, and video. Furthermore, NextPlane Federation Cloud service allows enterprises to set policies that allow or deny federated voice and video traffic by domains and/or users.

For more information, visit http://www.nextplane.net.

About NextPlane, Inc.
NextPlane offers enterprise-class Federation as a Service (FaaS) solutions for unified communications (UC) platforms, seamlessly federating Microsoft Lync 2010, OCS 2007 R2, OCS 2007 and LCS 2005, IBM Sametime, Cisco Jabber XCP, Cisco Unified Presence Server 8.x, Cisco WebEx Connect, Jive OpenFire, and Google Apps. Using NextPlane Federation Cloud service, organizations can connect users from different companies regardless of underlying UC platforms - with shared presence, instant messaging, multi-user chat, voice, video, and other features - as if they are on the same platform.

NextPlane offers an ideal solution for companies migrating from one UC platform to another, or to integrate different legacy platforms following a company merger or a new contract or partnership. NextPlane even supports domain sharing, allowing two or more UC platforms to federate internally and externally using the same domain name.

Romanian Real Estate Popular with Alternative Investors, says AAA

Alternative investors are turning their attention towards real estate in Romania and Bulgaria, according to AAA.

Boston, MA, USA, May 12, 2012 -- Alternative investors are turning their attention towards real estate in Romania and Bulgaria, according to Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

The alternative investment advocacy group claims that real estate is still a popular alternative asset class to those who are shying away from equities while the economy remains volatile. In Europe, investors who were putting their cash into property in Ireland and Spain have now moved their investments to Bulgaria and Romania.

AAA is basing its analysis on a speech from Denise Hamer of Schoenherr Lawyers, who spoke at the recent IPD/Property Investor Europe (PIE) Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) Conference. He talked about how the emphasis for investors has returned to Eastern Europe, where economies like Romania and Bulgaria are set to emerge as the better bets in terms of investment.

Mr Hamer said that it was an exciting time for real estate investor in these regions: "It's going to be very dynamic and volatile, a very exciting investor atmosphere.”

Signs such as the news that a new shopping centre in Romania’s Ploisesti is already 70 per cent let, suggest that real estate is in demand in the former Eastern bloc country.

Returns could be particularly good on real estate assets bought in the capital Bucharest, which is slowly seeing tourism return and signs of prosperity emerge.

AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, said that real estate and other alternative asset classes offer investors the chance to diversify their portfolios against risk. “These kinds of assets - including wine, art, timber, commodities and precious metals - are not as closely correlated with equities as other more traditional asset classes. As a result, when equity markets lose value, these asset classes hold their value.”

AAA particularly supports ethical investment opportunities, such as the forestry plantation projects that Greenwood Management and other firms run in developing countries like Brazil. These projects offer people the chance to buy up a tangible section of plantation and reap the rewards on an ongoing basis.

About Alternative Asset Analysis:
The remit of Alternative Asset Analysis is to analyse and provide news on the global performance of a wide range of alternative asset classes including, but not restricted to, commodities, real estate, forestry, foreign exchange, hedge funds, private equity and venture capital.

Wood First Campaign Attracts Support from FRA

FRA has lent its support to a new campaign in the UK that calls upon the public sector to lead the way in terms of opting to use wood as a primary building material.

Seattle, United States, May 12, 2012 -- Forestry Research Associates (FRA) has lent its support to a new campaign in the UK that calls upon the public sector to lead the way in terms of opting to use wood as a primary building material.

Wood for Good has launched the “Wood First” campaign, which it hopes will encourage local authorities and councils to consider sustainably sources wood as a primary building materials on projects. A key part of France’s climate policy is to encourage the use of timber in building and the Wood First campaign hopes to replicate this in the UK.

The campaign is part of Wood for Good’s aim to make the use of sustainable timber a more viable option for construction projects around the UK. One London borough is thought to be considering adopting the policy, claims FRA, a research and analysis consultancy specialising in forestry investment and timber products.

FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins, explained, “It’s all down to the fact that growing timber helps to reduce the amount of CO2 we emit because trees absorb carbon.

“The more trees we plant and the more land we cover in forests, the more carbon is absorbed and the best way to ensure more trees are planted is to use more wood in the construction industry.”

Wood for Good’s Head of External Affairs, David Hopkins, said, “Increasing forest cover is recognised as one of the most effective weapons we have in the battle against climate change, and the best way to achieve this is to stimulate demand for sustainable timber and wood products. The introduction of a Wood First rule will help to make this happen.”

FRA supports forestry investment as a way to encourage sustainability. Projects like Greenwood Management’s teak and acacia plantations in Brazil offer investors the chance to invest in an ethical option while making healthy returns, claims FRA.

NanoMarkets Announces Release of OLED Lighting: Companies, Products and Strategies - 2012 Market Report

NanoMarkets has announced the release of its latest report on OLED lighting titled “OLED Lighting: Companies, Products and Strategies - 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia - May 9, 2012 -- NanoMarkets has announced the release of its latest report on OLED lighting titled “OLED Lighting: Companies, Products and Strategies - 2012.” NanoMarkets projects that the OLED luminaire market will reach $6.4 billion ($US) by 2017 and within the report shows how far the OLED lighting industry has developed in the last two years. The report notes that OLED luminaires are available at affordable prices and a surprisingly large number of major electronics and lighting companies have developed plans to take OLED lighting into the mainstream general lighting market. Performance criteria for OLED lighting are close to acceptable for many real world applications.

This report analyzes in depth the product/market strategies of leaders of the OLED space including; Acuity Brands, AUO/Lextar, Blackbody, First-o-Lite, GE, Kaneka, Konica Minolta, LG, Lumiotec, Mitsubishi, Moser Baer, NEC, Novaled, Osram, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Samsung, Sumitomo, Visionox and WAC Lighting. The report also provides insight into the strategies of smaller and emerging companies in this space.


The firm recently released its forecast of the OLED lighting global market. Details of that report are available here: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/nanomarkets_oled_lighting_market_forecast_q2_2012

Highlights from the Report:

One of the main selling features claimed for OLED lighting is “energy efficiency.” Two years ago, OLED lighting wasn't very efficient, offering around 20 lm/W. Today, it is much closer to CFLs and LEDs as OLED lighting panels now routinely reach 45 lm/W to 65 lm/W. Prominent OLED lighting firms are confident that they will soon offer panels in the 100-150 lm/W range, which would then enable OLED lighting to rapidly penetrate general lighting markets. Firms that have announced superior efficiency performance in product roadmaps include Panasonic, LG and Philips.

OLED lights already compete with CFLs on lifetimes but remain challenged by LEDs. Still OLED lighting lifetimes continue to improve rapidly. Philips believes that OLED lighting panels will reach 40,000 hours by 2018. LG says it can reach this by 2015.

Firms in the OLED lighting space see office lighting as an early revenue generator. For this to happen, panels must be much larger than they are today. Major OLED lighting firms expect progress in this area soon. The often-conservative Philips plans 1 m x 1 m panels by 2018; Panasonic will have 600 x 600-mm panels by 2019. The Korean firm, Jusung Engineering has already built a 730 x 920-mm panel, although not as a commercial product.

There is a revival of interest in solution processing as a way of producing low-cost OLED lighting panels to profitably meet the price points of general lighting. Although GE’s efforts in this area are behind schedule, Sumitomo's announcement that it is making a strong effort to print OLED lighting panels has given new life to printing OLED lighting panels. The Pioneer/Mitsubishi alliance is also developing a printing process for some layers of its panel.

NanoMarkets Releases New Report Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market - 2012

NanoMarkets today announced the release of its latest report on the organic photovoltaics market (OPV) titled, “Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market - 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia - May 9, 2012 -- NanoMarkets today announced the release of its latest report on the organic photovoltaics market (OPV) titled, “Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market - 2012.” In the report the industry is facing a make or break scenario within the next two years if it hopes to capitalize on an opportunity that could be worth over $700 million ($US) by 2019.


The firm recently released a report on the dye sensitized cell PV market in late April of this year. Details of that report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/dye_sensitized_cell_markets_2012

About the Report:

This report is designed to help both materials and panel/product manufacturers identify the available opportunities for generating revenue from OPV. It includes detailed eight-year forecasts for volumes, in power output and/or area terms and revenues, resulting from sales both of the materials used to manufacture OPV modules, as well as the revenues from sales of the OPV modules themselves. The OPV materials forecasts are broken out by material type - donors, acceptors, HTLs/EBLs, electrodes, substrates, and encapsulation technologies - and the OPV modules forecasts broken out by PV application - portable charging, embedded electronics, BIPV/BAPV, AIPV, and so on.

The report also contains a discussion of some of the key players in the DSC marketplace, including Konarka, Heliatek, Solarmer, New Energy Technologies, BASF, Agfa, IMEC, Solvay, Global Photonic Energy, Solarpress, Eight19, Mitsubishi, Polyera, Heraeus, Merck, and others.

From the Report:

The OPV market continues to struggle to get off the ground. The last year has produced a few bright spots - some new investments, some modest performance enhancements, additional demonstration and/or niche product launches, etc. - but the industry still needs a big breakthrough, or at least a clear path toward a larger-area or larger-scale application that can take OPV to the next level commercially.

The value propositions that have been claimed for OPV continue to get harder and harder to make: efficiencies are still very low in commercial products, costs are still very high, flexible encapsulation is still a problem, and a big market pull for portable, small-scale charging has not materialized. Meanwhile, development and commercialization of OPV’s closest “third generation” competitor, DSC PV, has outpaced that of OPV, especially in the larger-area BIPV and other grid-connected sectors. BIPV and related applications are important because they offer large enough volumes for OPV to break out commercially, recover the already-sunk investment costs, enable cost-reducing economies of scale, and establish long-term viability for the OPV industry.

NanoMarkets thinks that time for OPV may be running out. OPV firms must now move quickly or get left behind in these larger markets. We believe that the next two years will be the years in which OPV must finally prove itself in the PV market, both from a technical and cost perspective, or be relegated to permanent “specialty” status and an addressable market of no more than a few megawatts (MW) at best.

NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging market opportunities in energy, electronics and other markets created by developments in advanced materials. The firm is a recognized leader in industry analysis and forecasts of this kind and has been covering the photovoltaics sector for more than six years.

PriceTravel Becomes First Travel Agency in Latin America to Offer Cruise Travel Online Directly from its E-Commerce Site

PriceTravel establishes itself as a pioneer in the cruise travel industry, reinforcing the company’s leadership and innovation within the tourism industry.

MEXICO, D.F., (May 8, 2012) -- PriceTravel, Mexico’s most innovative online and wholesale travel agency, today becomes the first agency in Latin America to offer cruise travel directly through its website and more than 100 retail travel kiosks located in major shopping centers and department stores throughout Mexico. The addition of cruise travel is part of PriceTravel’s continued growth plans and conquest of the Latin American market, including the company’s recent entry into Colombia.

Initially, PriceTravel established an alliance with Royal Caribbean International, who recently announced plans to expand in Mexico’s cruise market. As a result of this partnership, PriceTravel has become the only online travel agency in Latinamerica that allows customers to book all routes offered by Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Cruises Club cruise lines directly from its website. PriceTravel plans to offer all major cruise lines, as well as cruise packages including the hotel + flight portion of the trip by the end of 2012.

"Our venture into selling cruise travel is the result of a long evaluation and preparation process. We work closely with cruise lines and understand that although currently viewed as a premium product in Mexico, there are many opportunities for growth in the market’s cruise segment. We are confident that we have the formula to reposition the product and reach a wider range of customers who perhaps previously viewed cruise travel as an unaffordable luxury. Providing detailed descriptions and content, and easing the purchasing and payment process is essential to change our customers’ and the travel industry’s current perception,” said Oliver Reinhart, CEO of PriceTravel.

One of the many advantages for PriceTravel customers in Mexico is that the cruise offerings are available through an innovative reservation system developed especially by PriceTravel, which allows customers to compare cruise line offers, routes and prices; book up to four cabins per transaction; and have access to information and images with the ease that characterizes PriceTravel, all in real time.

“There are many advantages of booking cruise travel through PriceTravel. Aside from ease of use, having access to the personal service of PriceTravel’s 500 travel professionals is especially important for those who have never traveled by cruise. The wide variety of payment options we have for all of our products - including cash; debit and credit cards with up to 12 interest-free months; and layaway - make a difference for our customers,” added Diego Del Vecchio, Marketing Director of PriceTravel.

"Through this partnership, both Royal Caribbean and PriceTravel will offer Mexican travelers a quick and easy option to purchase cruise travel online," added Jose Ceciliano, Director of Sales for Royal Caribbean Mexico. "Royal Caribbean guarantees PriceTravel customers the best vacation aboard the spectacular ships of Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises. This partnership will provide our mutual customers with a comprehensive service, featuring the professionalism and quality that both companies are known for."
