BARCELONA, SPAIN / ACCESSWIRE / February 29, 2024 / TM Technologies has partnered with Switzerland’s Quantum Resistant Cryptography, S.A. (QRC) to increase both the speed and security of wireless communications. QRC’s cutting-edge encryption is nine orders of magnitude stronger than AES-256, providing unparalleled quantum resistance.

The advent of quantum computing is widely understood to pose an imminent threat to the security of all conventionally encrypted information, including communications of passwords, transactions, and personal information.
The incorporation of QRC quantum-resistant encryption will initially be applied to three leading Transpositional Modulation use cases:
Near Field Communications: Used commonly in point of sale from credit cards and mobile applications as well as in the hospitality and healthcare industries, the quantum-resistant QRC encryption combined with TM Technologies’ CSO is estimated to exceed current NFC speeds by 13.5x.
Satellite Communications: Whether geostationary, conventional LEO or LEO direct to device, TM + QRC offers a means to increase download speeds while greatly improving security.
5G / 6G: 3GPP-compatible and ORAN-compatible high-security use cases, such as in the enterprise, smart cities or law enforcement, can utilize this speed and security enhancement to stay ahead of emerging threats.
TM Technologies Director of Research and Development Dr. Scott Velasquez said, "Transpositional Modulation has existing security features that make it one of the most efficient and secure waveforms in existence, and our QRC partnership adds an important component of export-compliant quantum-resistant encryption that make sense for all customers interested in future-proofing their secure communications."
"TM Technologies’ innovative solution has created dramatically faster contactless transactions," said Stiepan Kovac, founder and Group CEO of QRC. "Our advanced encryption adds the best security to this novel technology without negatively affecting the efficacy or speed. We are very proud of this novel collaboration."
TM Technologies is a privately held, independent technology research, development and intellectual property firm founded in 2013. With engineering and lab space in San Diego, California, and its administrative offices in Little Switzerland, North Carolina, TM provides software licenses and integrative engineering to customers in the fields of advanced wireless technologies, Near Field Communications and In-Band-Full-Duplex solutions.

The new agreement allows Tuxera to provide customers SMB technology along with an SMB license from Microsoft in a single solution.
HELSINKI, FINLAND / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2024 / Tuxera is expanding its collaboration with Microsoft through a new Server Message Block (SMB) partner agreement. The agreement enables innovative business solutions for customers by allowing Tuxera to provide SMB technology and an SMB patent license from Microsoft in one competitively priced solution.

"Currently we see huge demand for unstructured data from different industries and use cases. We see media and entertainment with a growing need of collaboration with very large video contents, healthcare with requirements on large imaging contents for AI scenarios, and many more require fast file transfers that we provide," says Antti Alila, VP Enterprise Business at Tuxera. "Having compliant software solutions including patents, business critical support, and future innovation is highly welcome in this market."
"Building on top of our strong collaboration with Tuxera, this agreement enables customers to focus on file sharing scenarios and innovations using compliant, quality solutions for SMB file transfer," says Rob Kowal, Director of IP Licensing at Microsoft.
SMB is the native Microsoft protocol used to share files over a local area network, virtual private network, and cloud-based solutions. It is widely adopted worldwide, thanks in part to Window’s global reach. According to Statista, about 70% of the global desktop operating systems use Windows.
SMB is common in mixed environments due to its interoperability. It allows seamless file transfer between Windows and non-Windows-based operating systems, as well as between many different types of devices.
This new agreement lowers any perceived hassle or barriers for licensing SMB technology. It also adds significant value for customers who use Fusion File Share by Tuxera, which provides the fastest and most reliable access to shared file resources and enterprise-grade features unique among SMB implementations using Linux.
Tuxera is the only company to offer a fully licensed, high-availability, cloud-scale SMB solution for enterprise storage requirements, as well as SMB for embedded devices.
More information about Microsoft’s licensing program is available at their Tech Licensing programs page. To learn more about combining SMB technology and licensing in one solution, please contact sales@tuxera.com.

Iconic Sports Brand Donates to Equestrian and Polo Charities Chosen by the Finalists
WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2024 / U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), was proud to again support the 2024 U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship®. The most prestigious cup in women’s polo in the United States ran from Feb. 3-23, 2024, with qualifying games played at Port Mayaca Polo Club, and the U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship Final played once again on the U.S. Polo Assn. Field One at the world-renowned USPA National Polo Center (NPC) – Wellington on Feb. 23.
ESPN is broadcasting the Women’s Championship Final for sports fans around the world on ESPN News Thursday, Feb. 29, at 7 p.m. EST; check your local listings.
Beginning with eight teams, the most teams in years, the qualifiers brought that number down to two incredible women’s teams playing for the trophy – Buena Vibra and 90210. Ultimately, the championship trophy went to first-time U.S. Open winner Buena Vibra with a score of 13-11. It was a hard-fought game with a tie score down to the final chukker. Buena Vibra Team Captain Milly Hine, with an impressive eight-goal ranking, won the Game MVP, scoring 10 of the team’s 13 goals. In addition to Hine, the team consisted of Clara Cassino (8), Cory Williams (4) and Valentina Tarazona (1), Tarazona being the youngest player on a winning team at age 13. This was the first time for all players on Team Buena Vibra to win the Women’s U.S. Open.
"It’s an absolute dream. My team is incredible; we can’t believe it. None of us have played the finals, none of us have the experience of what it’s like to play on this field or against such a tough opposition," said Buena Vibra Team Captain and Game MVP Milly Hine (8). "We just decided let’s enjoy it, let’s just hope our horses are as well prepared as possible, and we did everything in our power to perform on this day."
U.S. Polo Assn.’s support of the most celebrated cup for women’s polo in the United States included donations of uniforms to participating teams with the iconic U.S. Polo Assn. double horsemen logo, as well as donations made to polo and equestrian charities selected by the finalists in the 2024 U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship. These included Replay Polo, selected by Buena Vibra, and Work to Ride, selected by 90210.
Unlike other team sports, women and men play polo together as equals, and approximately 40% of USPA club members are female. Women are, in fact, the fastest-growing segment in the sport of polo at the club and collegiate levels at more than 40% and 60%, respectively.
"The 2024 U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship is a showcase of women’s polo achievements," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "U.S. Polo Assn. is proud to support these outstanding female athletes in one of the high goal season’s most prestigious tournaments, highlighting some of the very best players in the sport."
"Adding the charitable component to this important polo tournament emphasizes our support of not only the women but the many polo and equestrian charities in need within our polo community," added Prince.
Ten-goal players in this year’s high-goal tournament were Hope Arellano, Nina Clarkin and Hazel Jackson. At an eight-goal rating, Mia Cambiaso played as well. Newcomer to the Women’s Open, Shariah Harris, a Cornell graduate and former Work to Ride program participant, was an exciting addition to the competition in 2024.
"It was an amazing opportunity playing in the Women’s Open. This time last year during the finals I just told myself that I’m going to play in this next year and someway, somehow, it all worked out and here I am," said Harris. "It was definitely a personal accomplishment and an honor to play with women of this caliber."
"I am always honored to compete against other amazing women polo players in the U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship," added Arellano, professional polo player and U.S. Polo Assn. Brand Ambassador. "And I love being surrounded by those in the South Florida polo community who support women’s professional polo."

เป็นเรื่องน่ายินดีที่ผู้คนทั่วโลกกำลังร่วมกันขจัดอุปสรรคในด้านกีฬาให้กับผู้หญิงอย่างแข็งขัน โดย ASICS นำเรื่องราวของผู้หญิงมากมายมาเผยแพร่ให้ทราบ และให้คำมั่นที่จะช่วยส่งเสริมจิตใจของผู้หญิงผ่าน Move Her Mind
Tomoko Koda ประธานเจ้าหน้าที่บริหารของ ASICS กล่าวว่า “ASICS ก่อตั้งขึ้นจากความเชื่อว่ากีฬาและการออกกำลังกายมีประโยชน์ต่อร่างกายและจิตใจ นี่คือเหตุผลที่เรามีชื่อว่า ASICS ซึ่งย่อมาจาก “Anima Sana in Corpore Sano” หรือ ‘Sound Mind in a Sound Body’ หรือ “การมีจิตใจแจ่มใสในร่างกายที่สมบูรณ์” นั่นเอง แม้ว่าการศึกษาของเราพบว่ามีผู้หญิงจำนวนมากไม่พอใจกับระดับการออกกำลังกายของตน แต่ยังเผยให้เห็นถึงผลกระทบที่ยิ่งใหญ่ที่บุคคลและองค์กรทั่วทุกระดับมีต่อการช่วยให้ผู้หญิงเคลื่อนไหวออกกำลังกาย
“การเปิดตัว Move Her Mind หรือส่งเสริมจิตใจของผู้หญิงนั้น เราหวังที่จะมอบแพลตฟอร์มนี้ให้แก่ผู้คนที่ยอดเยี่ยมเหล่านี้เพื่อเชื่อมสัมพันธ์และสร้างแรงบันดาลใจให้แก่คนอื่น ๆ เพื่อให้ทุกคนสามารถมีจิตใจแจ่มใสในร่างกายที่สมบูรณ์ได้ ถึงเวลาแล้วที่ผู้หญิงและเด็กผู้หญิงจะได้รับประโยชน์เชิงบวกทั้งทางร่างกายและจิตใจจากการออกกำลังกาย ถึงเวลาเปลี่ยนแปลงแล้ว ถึงเวลา Move Her Mind ส่งเสริมจิตใจของผู้หญิงแล้ว”
