Share Your Workouts in Real-time with Endomondo’s New App for Facebook Timeline

Endomondo Members Can Now Share Their Workouts on their Facebook Timelines
for Social Encouragement, Bragging and More 

AUSTIN, TX at SXSW – March 12, 2012 –  With a focus on community fitness, Endomondo launches a new app for Facebook timeline. By extending both the competitive and community nature of fitness – from the groups of friends who compete against each other for fun and rewards to the friends who all work out together to offer support and encouragement in their fitness goals – Endomondo’s timeline app will let members share their workouts as they happen on their Facebook timeline and in Facebook News Feed.

The Endomondo fitness app for Facebook timeline posts workouts live and in real-time, so Endomondo members are able to share their progress while they exercise, showing maps of their latest workouts that they track with Endomondo’s mobile app. People can always control what information they share with friends and who can see it, from their Application Settings on Facebook. 

“Exercising with friends is more fun and effective than exercising alone,” said Justin Osofsky, Director of Platform Partnerships, Facebook. “Endomondo is a great example of how a social app can affect real world change. Through their new timeline app, people can track a range of activities including running, biking and walking and share their fitness accomplishments with friends.”

The Endomondo mobile application is available on all major mobile platforms, from iPhone and Android to BlackBerry and Windows Phone. By making the application as ubiquitous as possible, and with the new timeline app for Facebook, Endomondo is helping people get more from their fitness.

“From the very beginning, our focus has been on how the social dimension can make fitness fun and help people find motivation to exercise”, said Mette Lykke, co-founder of Endomondo. “From the competitive nature of friends and family to the encouragement and community sharing from friends and family, no matter what your fitness focuses on, Endomondo is there as a part of the community to help you meet your fitness goals. With the timeline app, we extend the Endomondo community onto member’s Facebook timelines, sharing encouragement and competitiveness where people’s networks already are.”

As part of the timeline app, Endomondo members will also be able to list recent workouts with statistics, such as distance, duration, speed and calories burnt, as well as monthly and annual summaries of training for growth and competitive insight.

NUKONA CHOOSES INTEGER WIRELESS TO ENTER GROWING WIRELESS HEALTHCARE MARKET

  Two Southern California companies team up to secure, deploy and manage mobile apps and wireless data in healthcare facilities nationwide

 

SAN DIEGO and NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – May 11, 2011 – As hospitals, physicians groups and other healthcare providers expand their use of smartphones and tablets, they have unique security and privacy requirements far beyond those of general enterprises. Two Southern California companies – Nukona of San Diego and Integer Wireless of Newport Beach, Calif. – today announced a relationship designed to help healthcare organizations meet those needs quickly and cost-effectively.

Nukona’s services – including private app stores and app-security “wrappers” – provide enterprises with end-to-end solutions for securing their mobile devices, the data on them and the networks to which they connect. Integer Wireless specializes in designing, building and optimizing in-building and campus-wide cellular and Wi-Fi networks that provide healthcare organizations with secure, HIPAA-compliant voice, data and video communications.

Announced at the Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance’s annual Convergence Summit in San Diego, the relationship will enable Nukona to quickly expand into the wireless healthcare market by leveraging Integer Wireless’ expertise and its 16 years of relationships with hospital CIOs, IT managers and other decision-makers. Beginning immediately, Integer Wireless will include Nukona’s mobile device applications management platform in its solutions portfolio.

Nukona also will be featured in the Integer Wireless Experience Center, a 10,000-square foot facility providing a rare, hands-on opportunity to test a wide variety of enterprise-grade wireless solutions from more than 20 vendors, application developers and service providers. For more information about the Integer Wireless Experience Center, which opens this fall in Newport Beach, visit http://pop.to/2c3f.

“For healthcare organizations, wireless is both an opportunity and a challenge,” said John Clarey, Integer Wireless CEO. “Wireless provides new options for improving patient care, employee productivity and asset management, but the proliferation of mobile devices and network access points also creates security concerns. Nukona addresses those concerns by enabling healthcare providers to secure smartphone and tablet applications, and protect patient data every step of the way.”

“During our beta phase, healthcare IT executives frequently said that Nukona solves a variety of problems created when their nurses and other staff began using smartphones and tablets,” said Chris Perret, Nukona founder and CEO. “Integer Wireless was a natural choice for us because they specialize in secure, private, highly reliable cellular and Wi-Fi networks. This relationship gives healthcare providers a powerful new option for ensuring end-to-end security and privacy, from the app through the device and into the network.”

New integer Wireless Experience Center Empowers Enterprise Decision-Makers

 

10,000-square-foot facility provides a hands-on, vendor-agnostic opportunity to vet and custom-build in-building cellular and Wi-Fi solutions

Newport Beach, Calif. – May 10, 2011 – As the selection of wireless products, networks and services grows, so does the challenge of assembling a solution that meets each enterprise’s unique, frequently challenging in-building requirements. To help CIOs, IT managers and other decision-makers make smart choices, Integer Wireless today founded the Integer Wireless Experience Center, a 10,000-square foot facility providing a rare, hands-on opportunity to test a wide variety of enterprise-grade wireless solutions from more than 100 vendors, application developers and service providers. 

Over the past 16 years, Integer Wireless has led more than 1,000 in-building and campus-wide wireless projects for clients such as Apple, Coors Field, Denver Department of Health, Kaiser Permanente, Hoag Hospital, Hyatt, Intel, NASA and Walmart. The company specializes in designing, installing and optimizing vendor-, operator- and technology-agnostic wireless solutions for a variety of verticals, including health care, general enterprise, sports and entertainment venues, retail stores, government and hospitality.

The Integer Wireless Experience Center is a convenient opportunity for organizations in those verticals to vet their options and custom-build solutions for all types of in-building and campuswide deployments. Opening this fall in Newport Beach, Calif. – a short drive from Orange County’s John Wayne Airport and in the heart of Orange County’s business district – the Integer Wireless Experience Center will include:

• A broad, deep selection of products, applications and services from more than 20 vendors and service providers. These products will be presented in a company-agnostic manner, giving CIOs, IT managers and other decision-makers the freedom to mix and match products to custom-build the solution that meets their unique requirements.

• Multiple executive briefing rooms, each showcasing an industry-specific set of use-case scenarios, such as a hospital wing or a retail store. Each room will include open-rack, lab-level features, along with on-site engineers, all designed to facilitate testing.

• A state-of-the-art environment with more than $1 million in enterprise-class features such as a Cisco TelePresence suite, as well as Cisco CleanAir technology, a Corning MobileAccess multi-carrier distributed antenna system (DAS), real-time location solutions and other advanced technologies – all fully functional and ready for testing by members and guests.

• A broad, deep selection of enterprise-grade wireless products, applications and services using one or more the following wireless technologies: 3G, LTE, Wi-Fi, RTLS, NFC, RFID, DAS and VHF/UHF public safety.

• Concierge-level access to vendors, service providers and other Integer Wireless Experience Center participating companies, including include one-on-one demonstrations, lunch-and-learns, receptions and presentations.

• Product demonstration and interoperability testing provides participating members and their guests with the opportunity to test interoperability not only between solutions provided by different Integer Wireless Experience Center partners, but also between partner products and their customer’s existing solutions.

“The Integer Wireless Experience Center is a unique, convenient opportunity for enterprise decision-makers to custom-build in-building wireless solutions that meet their unique and rapidly changing needs,” said John Clarey, Integer Wireless CEO. “This facility reflects a major reason for Integer Wireless’ success over the past 16 years: Our agnostic approach helps enterprises select the right infrastructure package from innovative hardware vendors and evaluate myriad applications, services and networks to create a solution that perfectly matches their requirements.

“That approach frees them from the cost and limitations that come with being locked into a single vendor or service provider ecosystem. With the Integer Wireless Experience Center, we’re taking that philosophy to the next level by creating a one-stop shop where decision-makers can learn about their options and leave confident that they’re making the smart choice for their organization.”
