Sprint has been chosen to provide machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity for ECOtality Blink electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
ECOtality is planning to install Blink electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S., including 15,000 Level 2 chargers at residential and commercial locations, and over 300 DC Fast Charging ports at public and commercial sites throughout 2011. Sprint will provide the wireless network that will allow ECOtality to monitor and manage the Blink Network.
In addition, ECOtality is planning on offering advertising. Each Blink DC Fast Charger is equipped with a daylight readable, 42-inch color LCD display, and a 7-inch LCD touchscreen display on the Pedestal unit. Media content can be both tailored to specific markets and broadcast nationally across Blink Network charger locations. This will be delivered wireless to each unit.
"With the Sprint Command Center technology, our Blink EV charging stations are provided with the reliable wireless connectivity necessary to power the advanced capabilities of the Blink Network and ensure customer satisfaction," said Jonathan Read, CEO of ECOtality. "In addition, we are able to conduct a variety of business services, from monitoring to electronic payments. EV drivers will be able to depend on our chargers for smart operation, intuitive features, and reliable connectivity."http://www.ecotality.com

and Cable Europe Labs signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that establishes a one-year trial program by which the two cable research and development organizations might develop longer-term joint cooperation. In the past, the two organizations have collaborated on EuroDOCSIS 3.0 and EuroPacketCable, as well as alignment in certification programs and standards initiatives. Under the terms of the MOU, CableLabs and Cable Europe Labs will each identify certain technical initiatives in which the other organization can more directly participate and contribute. 
to extend their collaboration to enable the rapid development of next generation mobile products optimized for performance and power efficiency. The collaboration combines optimized physical and processor IP by ARM tuned to IBM's advanced manufacturing process down to 14nm; providing streamlined development and earlier introduction of advanced consumer electronics into the marketplace. 
The companies said this partnership helps minimize the risk and barriers to migrating to smaller geometries while enabling optimized density, performance, power and yield in advanced SoC designs; accelerating the introduction of advanced electronics into the marketplace.
which offers up to 50 percent higher speed, 40 percent lower power and 100 percent higher gate density compared to the 40nm node, and up to 120 percent higher speed, 60 percent lower power and over 300 percent higher gate density compared to the 65nm node.
supplier of optical fiber cable and hardware for Australia's National Broadband Network (NBN) initiative. Corning and NBN Co have signed a contract for the supply of optical cable and hardware that could be valued at up to AUS $1.2 billion over the contract period with an initial purchase commitment of AUS $400 million. An additional tender will be issued for the second half of the deployment at a later date.
and begun offering new benchmark-setting network performance service level agreements (SLAs) and a new route diversity planning service. The capacity upgrade, which is being implemented on terrestrial routes in North America, Europe and the UK, is designed to deliver 40 Gbps services in both core and edge sites. 
to create and maintain a Joint Innovation Centre (JIC) in Canada. Huawei and TELUS will work together on enhancing broadband solutions, wireless and wireline offerings. According to terms of the memorandum, the length of the agreement is three years and each company will own 50 percent of the Joint Innovation Center.
