Over 25,000 attendees used BCARD NFC credentials to interact with Nokia NFC mobile phones. This enabled Greenbuild 2008 Exhibitors and Attendees to wirelessly exchange information and access data in real time.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) November 23, 2008 -- ITN International, Inc., provider of registration services and information exchange tools for trade shows and events, today completed the largest ever deployment of NFC mobile technology in the U.S. tradeshow and event market. Of the 800 exhibitors that relied on ITN lead management solutions, 500 utilized Nokia NFC phones to wirelessly scan NFC enabled BCARD credentials, collect qualified inquiries and conduct surveys. More than 150,000 NFC transactions occurred over three days, allowing customers and suppliers to conduct business quickly, effectively and securely.

"Launching our Touch 'N Go Event Solutions™ on the Nokia 6212 classic NFC phones has finally allowed us to provide a completely integrated NFC mobile lead retrieval product to exhibitors at tradeshows and events. It won't be long until many applications will be available for attendees to download over the air before or during an event. Attendees will be able to download coupons and special invitation tickets onto their own NFC phones. They will be able to use their own NFC phones to touch hotspots on posters that will instantly launch brand or product messaging and facilitate social networking.

Touch 'N Go poster hotspots can initiate customized, targeted messaging such as videos and brochures and can initiate applications that enable the exchange of contact information and deliver preloaded cash value or prize points to the phone. Thanks to NFC phones, ITN will revolutionize the way the events industry works today. Our successful deployment at Greenbuild further solidifies our position as the recognized leader in wireless and NFC technology for the tradeshow industry", said Ivan Lazarev, President of ITN International, Inc.

pass through the area of the school

Santa Fe has joined West University Place at drivers of the ban on using mobile phones to pass through the area of the school. 3 to 2 votes, the Santa Fe City Council approved the ban Thursday night, said Mayor Ralph Stenzel. The city of Galveston County, population 10,000, wants to protect children after reports of accidents in school zones caused by the driver confused with his mobile phone, Stenzel said. Those who voted against the measure will be carried into question the way, Stenzel said.
Stenzel, who politely, but can only vote if there is a tie, said the city had no manpower to patrol all school zones. However, he said that the school district will use the police to ticket violators.
They are caught in violation of the rules can be fined up to $ 200. Under the rules, motor vehicles can not use their mobile phones when traveling through school zones when lights are flashing. "If you have an emergency or something, they should pull over and stop before you use your phone," said Stenzel.
Meanwhile, Motorola said the current estimates of fourth quarter sales of $ 11.6 million to U.S. $ 11.8 million, decreasing from the preview of U.S. $ 11.8 million to U.S. $ 12.1 million, despite Investor hopes for stronger sales of the slim Razr phone and new models, such as the KRZR.
"They can lower prices on the Razr and other phones do not make a difference," said Snyder.
Motorola also said it expects to report net profit of 13 cents to 16 cents per share, below the domestic predictability compiled at the beginning of the quarter. The forecast includes 10 cents per share in special expenses, such as investment-related losses, actions based on the costs and the cost of extra taxes.
Analysts on average were forecasting a fourth-quarter revenue of $ 11.99 billion and net income of 38 cents per share, before special items, according to Reuters Estimates. A shortcut can also stem from demand in emerging markets like China and India but less strength in western Europe and the United States, Snyder said. Motorola and Nokia shares expected to trade lower on Friday. Readmore »»
