Shanghai, China, September 1, 2016 /Xinwengao.com/ - Twenty years ago, brands could take their time to craft a brand with Chinese consumers. But today, the Internet compels companies to use faster techniques to build brands, engage influencers, and put out social media fires. And the cornerstone focus for companies should be on effective brand storytelling.

In the Chinese-language White Paper “How To Boost Your Brand Storytelling Across Social Media“, issued by Xinwengao today, ten key components of brand storytelling are related with effective uses on Chinese social media, such as Weibo and WeChat, as well as interactions with journalists, bloggers, influencers and media writers in China.

“Social media measurement combined with a keen understanding of the social media landscape helps domestic and foreign companies engage with target consumers,” says Rose Gao, director of media outreach at Xinwengao. “Our White Paper ‘How To Boost Your Brand Storytelling Across Social Media’ gives corporate executives simple and immediately usable methods to master online tools and to commute effectively with stakeholders.”

As everyone in China already knows, social media is the best way to stay in touch with friends, find deals from favorite brands, and pay for services with connected bank cards. Weibo’s microblog monthly active users in June 2016 grew 33% year over year to 282 million, according to Weibo Corporation’s latest financial report. And over 700 million people use Tencent’s WeChat mobile messaging app.

Famous brands are participating in the social media ecosystem too, as the interactions between consumers and products provides higher revenue acquisition capabilities.

But with all this opportunity on China’s Internet also comes risks for companies of all sizes to participate in social media. The Internet doesn’t go to sleep at night, so companies need to have proactive 24/7 management of their social media personas. The fundamental component of the social media persona is the brand storytelling component.

“The cycling data is impressive, especially as the reliability has exceeded the specifications from mobile phone makers by up to100x” said Dr. David Howard, TowerJazz Executive Director and Fellow. “The monolithically integrated chip is designed for reliability and manufacturability, and is taking full advantage of our standard semiconductor process tooling and MEMS process experience.”

Cavendish’s first generation MEMS products, which include the CK301, are innovative RF tuners specifically designed to overcome the antenna performance challenges experienced in today’s LTE smartphones, which have to support an ever growing number of operating modes and frequency bands. In addition, larger displays and batteries, and ever thinner form-factors further constrain the antenna volume available in smartphones. Antenna Tuning is one of the most promising solutions to enable multiband antenna performance, but existing tuning solutions do not provide the characteristics required to make it work efficiently. Cavendish’s RF tuners provide an industry leading ‘Q-Factor’ (>200), are very low loss (dB), and enable the required tuning ranges so that RF designers can meet LTE radio performance requirements. In addition, Cavendish’s antenna tuner is only 2mm2 in size and does not require other components, which makes it easy to implement in even the most challenging form-factors.

Cavendish’s upcoming MEMS products will address the performance needs of LTE-advanced RF front-end components such as power amplifiers, filters and switches, to enable demanding next generation LTE carrier-aggregation and WiFi co-existence solutions.

“We have dedicated ourselves to build RF MEMS products that are optimizing smartphone radio platforms, and can be mass produced using basic CMOS processes,” said Dennis Yost, President and CEO of Cavendish Kinetics. “During this development, TowerJazz has been an invaluable technology and process partner with its advanced MEMS foundry know-how. With TowerJazz’s process expertise, we have been able to achieve our goals of manufacturability, quality and reliability, and are now in the enviable position to be able to supply many tens of millions of devices per month to support the large and rapidly growing LTE mobile device market,” Yost added.

“We are proud that Cavendish Kinetics was able to take full advantage of our MEMS Foundry enablement solutions,” said Russell Ellwanger, CEO of TowerJazz. “The RF MEMS market is an important growth area for TowerJazz, and the successful collaboration with Cavendish expands our leadership position in this nascent market. Now, Cavendish is in a position to mass produce a highly reliable CMOS-MEMS solution, utilizing the proven TowerJazz high volume manufacturing capability.”

Melville, NY, March 6, 2014 /Xinwengao.com/ - BZ Media LLC today announced a significant expansion of Wearables DevCon, the technical conference and expo for software developers, builders and designers of wearable computing devices. The announcement was made onsite today at the first Wearables DevCon, which blew through its projected 500 attendees with registrants exceeding 1,200.

The three-day conference and expo is moving to larger facilities in Santa Clara, which will allow for a greatly expanded exhibitor component, and will take place March 9-11, 2015. The umbrella event will go under the new name Wearables TechCon (www.WearablesTechCon.com), and the event will have a dual focus on the electronics OEMs and engineers (TechCon) and the software and app developers (DevCon).

“The Wearable Computing Device market continues to grow and capture the imagination of designers, engineers and developers. The wild success of Wearables DevCon pointed to a natural expansion of the electronics OEM aspect of our event, which was adequately represented in the Conference itself, but not reflected in the name. The name change of the umbrella event to Wearables TechConTM will allow the event to become like a CES® for OEMs and developers,” said Ted Bahr, President of BZ Media.

Wearables TechCon attendees will get practical answers as they roll up their sleeves and learn how to program the hardware and software behind the coming generation of wearable technology. Classes and tutorials in the TechCon tracks will focus on embedded computing, hardware design, sensors, and physical technology, while tracks in the DevCon portion will focus on programming apps and mastering the SDKs of the next wave of computing devices.

Wearables TechCon will expand its exhibitor program to meet with the demand to know what’s happening in this fast-moving space and what it means.

“Fifteen companies sponsored or exhibited at our inaugural event this week, and it’s clear that the interest in meeting with the movers and shakers in the exhibit hall is in great demand. We project attendance of more than 2,000 at Wearables TechCon 2015,” said Bahr.

Wearables TechCon focuses on the technology behind smartwatches, augmented reality products like Google Glass, and the healthcare and fitness devices that are becoming nearly ubiquitous today.

Juniper Research expects nearly 15 million wearable smart devices (including glasses, health and fitness monitors, and other devices) to be sold in 2013, amounting to $800 million, and nearly 70 million to be sold by 2017.

Wearables TechCon is produced by BZ Media LLC, which publishes SD Times, the magazine for the software development industry. BZ Media also produces AnDevCon, the world’s largest Android Developer conference; SPTechCon: The SharePoint Technology Conference; Big Data TechCon; and Cloud DevCon.

For more information on exhibiting or sponsoring Wearables TechCon, please contact David Lyman, 978-465-2351, dlyman@bzmedia.com.

The Wearables TechCon Call for Speakers will be available online at www.WearablesTechCon.com in June 2014. For information on speaking, contact Katie Serignese, 631-421-4158 ext. 128, kserignese@bzmedia.com.
