Girona, Spain Deploys Wireless Broadband Network for Municipal Services Using Tropos Networks & Neomedia Solution
Tropos® Networks, the market leader in wireless IP broadband mesh networks and Neomedia, (News) the leading engineering company in the design and deployment of advanced telecommunications infrastructures in Spain, today announced that the City of Girona, Spain has deployed a broadband wireless network. The network currently provides coverage for more than 600,000 square meters of the city's Can Gibert del Pla and Santa Eugenia neighborhoods. This milestone completes the first two phases of Girona's plan to cover the entire 13 square kilometers of the city. Plans are to use the network as the foundation for enabling a range of services that provide benefits to the community.
”Three years ago, we started to look at broadband wireless technology to address the digital divide in Girona as well as provide connectivity for the whole city for a variety of public and municipal applications,“ said Paco Berta Müller, director of IT Systems and Communications for the City of Girona. ”We were impressed with the affordability and the efficiencies that Tropos' networks have provided for communities in other cities around the world. Now, after two years of testing and deployments in Can Gibert del Pla and Santa Eugenia, we are more excited than ever about the power and potential of the network for our city.“
The network is already being used by local police for video surveillance of municipal buildings and public areas to increase public safety; for public workers to improve intra office communications; and to provide Internet access to students in neighborhood schools for the first time. The city is also finalizing plans to offer digital access services to the neighborhoods' disadvantaged communities as well as plans to evaluate a variety of other municipal applications.
As part of the video surveillance solution, Tropos MetroMesh™ routers and IP video cameras from Axis Communications, a Troposphere Solution Partner, have been deployed on municipal buildings, city traffic lights, and street lights owned by the city in the Can Gibert and Santa Eugenia neighborhoods. Phase three, now underway, will cover an additional 600,000 square meters. Planned uses going forward include mobile police communications and information access via PDAs and laptops; centralized traffic management and monitoring of public transit vehicles; parking monitoring and management; centralized water control for public gardens; and real-time information for tourists to access on PDAs around town. The network is being funded by the City and Province of Girona, and the Catalan government.
”With the pervasiveness and growing use of Wi-Fi enabled devices such as PDAs, phones and laptops, it is economically attractive for Girona and other cities in Spain to build a multi-service IP foundation for city-wide communications services using wireless mesh technology,“ said Enrique Moreno Darbonnens, Chief Technical Officer of Neomedia. ”We chose the Tropos' MetroMesh system because the company is the leader in this market with proven city-wide, multi-use network deployments in Europe and around the world.“
”Girona's decision to deploy the Tropos' MetroMesh solution will profit the community in numerous ways, from increasing public safety and public works efficiencies to bridging the digital divide,“ said Tom Ayers, president and CEO of Tropos Networks. ”By owning and controlling their own broadband network, the city and its people are able to leverage this resource to improve and deliver new community services not possible in the past. We are excited to be a key part of Girona's vision.“

Is NeoMedia Technologies For Sale?
NeoMedia Technologies, the global leader in camera-initiated barcode transactions for mobile devices, released an 8-K SEC filing last Monday which alluded to the potential sale of the company.
The filing states that during the next 18 months NeoMedia's CEO Iain McCready can earn a commission of up to 2.5% of sales proceeds for selling the company if the sale price is not less than $45M, with a commission cap set at a $200M sale price.
However, that's not to say that Iain can't sell NeoMedia for more than $200M. He can. Especially with a favorable patent review by the USPTO anticipated later this year.
NeoMedia Technologies has a suite of twelve issued patents covering the core concepts behind linking the physical world to the electronic world dating back to 1995. These patents cover various linkage methods including: Barcodes, RFID, Mag Stripe, Voice, and Other machine readable and keyed entry identifiers.
These patents were first licensed by Digital Convergence for $100M in 2000 to facilitate the launch of the :CueCat.
In 2001, NeoMedia Technologies formed a strategic alliance with Symbol, now owned by Motorola, and signed a worldwide agreement which gave Symbol the right to grant licenses to itself and third parties under NeoMedia's intellectual property. Symbol would later offer to buy NeoMedia's valuable patent portfolio in 2002 for $150M. The offer was declined however in favor of further developing the IP and growing the patent portfolio as a core component of NeoMedia's long-term growth and market strategy.
In 2005, Virgin Entertainment and NeoMedia Technologies entered into an extended licensing agreement, which saw Virgin license NeoMedia's patents through 2016.
There were even strong rumors that Microsoft was interested in purchasing NeoMedia back in 2005.
Flash forward to today, mobile barcode reading is an everyday part of the popular culture in Japan and Korea. The technology is just now beginning to emerge in Europe with North America not too far behind. With so many companies entering the mobile code reading space, and looking to carve out their niche, NeoMedia has positioned itself well with it's extensive patent portfolio and barcode technology, and will bring tremendous value to anyone interested in acquiring the company.
Danke schon mal für die Antwort!
NeoMedia Technologies, weltweit führend in Kamera-Barcode initiierte Transaktionen für mobile Geräte, stellt ein 8-K SEK Anmeldung am vergangenen Montag die angespielt zu den potenziellen Verkauf des Unternehmens.

Aber das ist noch nicht zu sagen, dass Iain kann nicht verkaufen NeoMedia für mehr als $ 200M.
Er kann.
Besonders mit einem günstigen Patent Überprüfung durch das USPTO erwartet noch in diesem Jahr.

Diese Patente decken verschiedene Methoden einschließlich der Verknüpfung: Barcodes, RFID, Mag. Stripe-, Sprach-und sonstigen maschinenlesbaren und keyed Eintrag Identifikatoren.
Diese Patente wurden zum ersten Mal lizenziert durch digitale Konvergenz zu $ 100M in 2000 zur Erleichterung der Einführung des: CueCat.
In 2001, NeoMedia Technologies bilden eine strategische Allianz mit dem Symbol, heute im Besitz von Motorola, und unterzeichnete eine weltweite Vereinbarung gab der Symbol-das Recht zur Vergabe von Lizenzen zu sich selbst und Dritte unter NeoMedia des geistigen Eigentums.
Symbol würde später Angebot zum Kauf NeoMedia's wertvolle Patent-Portfolio im Jahr 2002 für $ 150M.
Das Angebot wurde abgelehnt jedoch zugunsten der Weiterentwicklung der IP und der wachsenden Patent-Portfolio als einen zentralen Bestandteil der NeoMedia die langfristige Wachstums-und Markt-Strategie.
In 2005, Virgin Entertainment und NeoMedia Technologies in einer erweiterten Lizenzvertrag, der sah Jungfrau Lizenz NeoMedia's über 2016 Patente.
Es gab sogar Gerüchte stark war, dass Microsoft Interesse am Kauf NeoMedia zurück in 2005.
Flash uns auf heute, mobile Barcode-Lesung ist ein alltäglicher Teil der populären Kultur in Japan und Korea.
Die Technik ist gerade jetzt zu Beginn emerge in Europa mit Nordamerika nicht zu weit hinterher. Bei so vielen Unternehmen in der mobilen Code Lesung Raum, und suchen nach schnitzen, ihre Nische, NeoMedia hat sich gut mit seinem umfassenden Patent-Portfolio-und Barcode-Technologie ,
Und bringt enormen Nutzen für alle Interessierten auf den Erwerb des Unternehmens.

NeoReader for Apple's iPhone -- Easy Access to Mobile Content on theGo
22:35 31.07.08
ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - July 31, 2008) - NeoMedia Technologies
(OTCBB: NEOM), the global leader in camera-initiated transactions for
mobile devices, announced today that their mobile barcode scanning
application -- NeoReader® -- is now available for the iPhone and free
to download from Apple's App Store. The NeoReader transforms the
iPhone into a barcode scanner which provides instant access to mobile
content by clicking on 2D barcodes.
Available immediately for free download, iPhone users simply install
the NeoReader barcode scanning application onto their iPhone via
Apple's App Store, either over a cell network or using Wi-Fi. The
application is also accessible via iTunes.
The NeoReader application turns the iPhone into a mobile conduit to
interactive content and information. The simple "one click" access
makes the mobile internet much more accessible for iPhone users -- by
scanning 2D barcodes via the iPhone's camera, users avoid typing in
long URLs and navigating cumbersome menus. The 2D barcodes serve as
"hyperlinks" from printed mediums to mobile web content and are
activated when and where users choose.
The use cases for mobile barcodes are virtually endless, from
advertising or editorial content (e.g. movie trailer, product coupon
or video content to accompany a print article) to public service
information (e.g. bus schedules or prescription drug information) and
personal information (e.g. interactive business card). iPhone users
can even promote themselves with mobile barcodes. By creating
personal codes users can link their website to a business card, a
t-shirt, a social networking profile or any other creative place a
barcode can be printed.
"We are very exited the NeoReader for iPhone has been approved by
Apple -- the superior web experience of iPhone translates to an
enhanced experience with the NeoReader as well. iPhone users are
exactly the type of consumers that can propel mobile barcode usage
into the mainstream," stated Iain McCready, CEO of NeoMedia
Technologies. "We know the mobile handset is sacred ground for iPhone
users and we respect that. The NeoReader empowers consumers to 'take
control' of the content that reaches their iPhone -- they choose when
and where they want to engage with a mobile barcode. NeoMedia makes
sure the experience is secure, fast and reliable. I believe the
NeoReader can be the breakthrough needed to deliver the promise of an
easy and accessible mobile internet experience."
The NeoReader is a universal barcode scanning application that reads
all standard 2D barcode symbologies -- QR, Data Matrix, Aztec -- so
iPhone users won't need multiple barcode readers. Many companies are
beginning to utilize 2D barcodes in their marketing and
communications efforts. By installing the NeoReader, iPhone users
will enjoy the value and convenience of a rich and relevant
interactive experience wherever they encounter a mobile barcode.

Gavitec Scanners Used By T-Mobile & Vodafone
Gavitec AG - mobile digit, a leading provider of mobile technologies and marketing solutions and a wholly owned subsidiary of NeoMedia Technologies, today announced that its mobile ticketing scanners were deployed last week at the T-Mobile Street Gigs and Vodafone Music Unlimited events. Since the first Street Gig in June 2007, more than 10,000 music fans received access to these unique events by having their mobile tickets redeemed by the Gavitec scanners. In addition, Vodafone Germany adopted mobile ticketing to distribute exclusive tickets for their July 13th event in Leipzig.
Last Summer, T-Mobile put on a series of spontaneous live music events known as Street Gigs in surprising and unexpected locations across Germany. Tickets for the concerts were available to winners of a “mobile ticket lottery” running on the T-Mobile Street Gigs website. All those registering free of charge as a member of the new T-Mobile Street Gigs community at www.t-mobile-streetgigs.de simply gave their mobile phone numbers. The lottery winners were then sent a pair of mobile tickets in the form of a 2D barcode directly to their mobile phone on the day of the concert. At the gig venue, winners had their mobile ticket scanned by the Gavitec scanner linked into a live database. Once the tickets were validated and redeemed, the winners could enter the venue and enjoy a great night in an exclusive location. Since the first gig in July 2007, more than 10,000 winners have attended the T-Mobile events using mobile tickets.
In order to strengthen its commitment to music products, Vodafone Germany sponsored a live concert featuring one of Germany's most popular bands, Ich + Ich, free of charge in Leipzig, Germany. The tickets for this live concert on July 13 in Leipzig's Kohlrabizirkus were available to all-comers registering at www.vodafone.de/music and taking part in a mobile ticketing lottery. The winners received a mobile ticket for 2 persons in the form of a 2D barcode to be redeemed at the concert venue by the Gavitec scanners.
"We are really pleased that music fans can now take advantage of a more convenient ticketing procedure. Our easy-to-use and versatile scanners are already used successfully in other European countries. It is great to bring this fantastic technology to Germany”, says Dr. Christian Steinborn, CEO at Gavitec AG - mobile digit, and continues “Gavitec’s scanners bring not only enormous advantages for mobile phone users, such as improved customer service, reduced queue times, reliable access control, but also provide event promoters with an easy way to collect data and build a personalized customer database. Therefore, it is a remarkable tool to open new distribution channels and to realize mobile marketing campaigns".
