(AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange :SYS SYS System(s) SYS System Configuration (File Name Extension) SYS See You Soon SYS Sun Yat-Sen (founder of Republic of China) SYS Stretch-Yawn Syndrome ), a leading provider of information connectivity solutions that enable real-time, complex decision-making, announced today Logic Innovations, a division of SYS' Public Safety, Security and Industrial Systems Group (PSSIG PSSIG Parallel Systems Special Interest Group ), has completed delivery and installation of a distance learning system for Lehigh University Lehigh University, at Bethlehem, Pa.; coeducational; chartered and opened 1866 by Asa Packer. It has undergraduate colleges of arts and science, business and economics, and engineering and applied science, as well as several graduate programs. . Logic Innovations was chosen to enhance the distance learning infrastructure for the Lehigh Educational Satellite Network (LESN), a project of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania Bethlehem is a city in Lehigh and Northampton Counties in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania, in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 71,329, making it the eighth largest municipality in Pennsylvania. . The project was completed in December, 2006. Lehigh's extensive experience in satellite-delivered distance learning was a key contributor to the success of this project. Alex Morykin, Supervisor of Broadcast Engineering for the Department of Distance Education at Lehigh University, said: "We were looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. a company to build a new satellite delivery system for us that would technically enhance and enrich our existing satellite program, utilizing the latest technologies in data casting and MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs). 4 streaming. After talking with several vendors about our requirements, Logic Innovations was chosen for this very aggressive project." Morykin added: "We needed a system that would offer more flexible delivery options to students at our corporate partner sites. Logic Innovations Internet protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. TV (IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. ) delivery system allows remote students to watch classes live, as well as to record them for on-demand playback on a classroom television or on a student's desktop PC over the corporate network. Logic Innovations was able to accommodate all of our design requirements into this deployment while allowing for future expansion. We have and will continue to work very closely with Logic Innovations in the evolution of this new delivery system. We are proud that Lehigh University, with the help of Logic Innovations, was the first to deploy an IPTV delivery system of this type for the use of satellite distance learning." Charlie Mrdjenovich, President of SYS' Logic Innovations division, said: "This project demonstrates SYS' ability to work very closely with Lehigh personnel to develop the features and functionality that are critical for providers of distance learning programs. As a result, SYS has built a very robust and feature-rich solution that we can market for all distance learning programs whether it be universities, government, defense, homeland security Noun 1. Homeland Security - the federal department that administers all matters relating to homeland security Department of Homeland Security executive department - a federal department in the executive branch of the government of the United States , or company-based training and distributed learning Distributed Learning means a method of instruction that relies primarily on indirect communication between students and teachers, including internet or other electronic-based delivery, teleconferencing or correspondence; (British Columbia, School Act, 2006). systems." Mrdjenovich added, "Furthermore, we are currently developing an integrated distance learning solution that will include all the e-learning capabilities of our WebTech business and the network management capabilities most recently acquired through Ai Metrix, which will result in a very powerful and competitive solution to take to all of these markets." Cliff Cooke, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of SYS Technologies, said: "Our strategy is to be a leading provider of information connectivity solutions. Distance learning is just one of the many applications for our broadcast solutions. Logic provides the capability to distribute information to a very wide array of users through its video and IP networking solutions for satellite and terrestrial applications. Use of this media to effect communications for homeland security purposes is just emerging. Logic's products represent the convergence of broadcast and Internet technologies by providing head-end (transmission) equipment and edge device (reception) equipment to provide the infrastructure for this key data- and video-powered distribution capability." Cooke concluded: "Broadcasting technologies have evolved from standard transmission of broadcast signals to datacasting with the inclusion of text data, and we believe will now be replaced by a communications form more powerful and flexible, namely 'media casting' to include rich-media content or multimedia that can be used for training, emergency alerts and real-time status of buildings, roadways, bridges and other fixed infrastructure. Furthermore, media cast content can be stored at its destination before it is viewed, which alters the role of receiving devices by transforming them into intelligent network devices. The greater functionality of these devices expands the variety and range of media they can receive and expands their potential use to many new applications. Logic's capabilities in this arena fit perfectly with SYS' plan for distribution of time-critical, high-volume information over broadband connections See broadband and wireless broadband. ."
