The number of exhibitors already registered has seen a tremendous upsurge thanks to increased Chinese manufacturing opportunities and huge growth in China’s generics sector.

Qucell Integrates Symmetricom SoftClock Solutions into 4G/LTE Small Cell Solutions

leave a comment »

Following successful design integration, Qucell joins SyncWorld Ecosystem Program

SAN JOSE, California and SEOUL, Korea, May 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precision time and frequency technologies, today announced the successful design integration of its SoftClocks into 4G/LTE + WiFi small cells offered by Qucell, Inc., a leading provider of small cell coverage devices for telecommunications carriers. This successful integration enables Qucell to join Symmetricom’s SyncWorld® Ecosystem Program in the Small Cells category.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110829/AQ59077LOGO)

Working closely with Symmetricom, Qucell validated the compliance of its “Evolve Q1016” and “Evolve Q1008,” two 4G/LTE enterprise and residential small cell products, with the LTE FDD standard. Throughout rigorous testing, Qucell’s small cell portfolio was capable of maintaining precise and constant synchronization using Symmetricom’s SoftClock software. Qucell enabled Korea Telecom to launch the world’s first massive commercial LTE small cell service with its Evolve Q1016 enterprise LTE small cells.

“Symmetricom’s SCr/SCe SoftClocks have played an important role in the commercialization testing of Qucell’s 4G/LTE + WiFi small cell access points,” said Mr. Mark Choi, vice president of Qucell. “It has allowed us to integrate packet-based synchronization into our small cells products, which is a very important function for all of our home, enterprise, public, and outdoor solutions.”

A recent report by NPD In-Stat on Small Devices predicts that due to skyrocketing demand for mobile data services, the sale of small cell devices will hit $14 billion in retail value by 2015. This growth is being attributed to the surge in mobile data services that are placing a high level of stress on mobile networks typically designed to handle less intensive voice traffic.  

“Precise timing is an essential element of successful small cell network deployments to support LTE networks,” said Manish Gupta, vice president marketing at Symmetricom. “We welcome Qucell to the SyncWorld Ecosystem Program and look forward to more successful small cell deployments with our partners.”

Qucell’s commercial experience includes 6,000 successful large-scale 4G/LTE + WiFi small cell deployments in 2012 alone, with an additional 12,000 units expected to be deployed by June 2013.

China Botanic Pharmaceutical Inc. Announces Receipt of Delisting Notice

leave a comment »

HARBIN, China, May 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — China Botanic Pharmaceutical Inc. (AMEX: CBP) (formerly Renhuang Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) (“China Botanic” or the “Company”), a developer, manufacturer and distributor of botanical products, bio-pharmaceuticals and traditional Chinese medicines (“TCM”) in China, announced today that on May 2, 2013, it received a notice (“Delisting Notice”) from the NYSE MKT LLC (“Exchange”) indicating that based on the Company’s noncompliance with its compliance plan previously submitted by the Company on February 7, 2013 to regain compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide (“Company Guide”) by May 1, 2013 (the “Compliance Plan”), the Exchange has made a determination to delist the common stock of the Company from the Exchange. The Delisting Notice indicated that under Sections 1203 and 1009(d) of the Company Guide, the Company has a limited right to appeal the Exchange’s determination by requesting an oral hearing or a hearing based on a written submission before the Exchange’s Listing Qualifications Panel (“Panel”). In order to request a hearing, the Company must submit its appeal request and pay the required fee by May 9, 2013. If the Company does not elect to appeal the determination by May 9, 2013, the determination will be final and the Exchange will proceed to file an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s common stock from the Exchange.

As previously announced, on January 31, 2013, the Company received a notice of failure to satisfy a continued listing standard from the Exchange as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013. In response to the letter dated January 31, 2013, the Company submitted a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) on February 14, 2013, outlining the actions that the Company has taken and the Company’s plans to bring it back into compliance by May 1, 2013. The Plan was accepted on March 1, 2013. On March 27, 2013, the Company received another notice of failure to satisfy a continued listing standard from the Exchange as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its Form 10-Q for the period ended January 31, 2013. Due to the similar nature of the deficiencies in the notices and the inclusion of the filing timeline of the Form 10-Q in the Plan, the Company was not required to submit another plan of compliance. The Company was advised that it was subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide as a result of the delinquent filings. In addition, it was advised that if the Company did not bring it back into compliance with all of the Exchange’s continued listing standards within the timeframe provided or did not make progress consistent with the Plan during such plan period, the Exchange staff would initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.

The Company was unable to file its Form 10-K and Form 10-Q pursuant to the Plan. Due to new developments resulting in Company’s failure to meet the milestones set in the Plan, on April 12, 2013, the Company submitted an amended compliance plan and requested an extension until June 15, 2013 to regain compliance (the “Revised Plan”). Subsequently on April 24, 2013, the Company requested an additional extension of its compliance end date to July 15, 2013. In light of the Company’s failure to make progress consistent with the Plan and review of materials provided and discussions with the Company and its representatives, the request for an extension of its compliance end date to July 15, 2013 was denied. The Exchange indicated in the Delisting Notice that it did not believe the Company has provided a reasonable demonstration of its ability to regain compliance in such timeframe.

The Company intends to appeal the Exchange’s determination by requesting a hearing by written submission before the Panel, which request will stay the delisting determination until at least such time as the Panel renders a determination following the hearing. The Company anticipates that the hearing will take place in approximately six (6) to eight (8) weeks time. The Company is undertaking steps to address the deficiencies raised by the Exchange. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its appeal and that the Company’s request for continued listing will be granted.

China Botanic Pharmaceutical Inc. is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, and distribution of botanical products, bio-pharmaceutical products, and traditional Chinese medicines (“TCM”), in the People’s Republic of China.

leave a comment »

LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Supreme Master Ching Hai shared insights about the tensions on the Korean peninsula to help assuage people’s concerns.

When asked how conflict could be avoided, the Supreme Master replied: “Continue praying for peace. But don’t worry, it [war] won’t happen.”

Saying that there has been spiritual intervention by “the saints, sages and Heaven,” Supreme Master also stated, “There is nothing to worry about because the North Korean leader and the North Korean people are intelligent… They know it is suicide if they start a war with anybody.”

She further said, “Having denuclearization is the best thing to do because having a nuclear weapon is not an insurance for your country’s safety at all. If you destroy others, they will destroy you… Nowadays, everybody understands the situation.”

The Supreme Master was able to share through meditation a deeper understanding about the North Korean leader. “He doesn’t have violence in his being. He doesn’t want war at all. Even though he’s young, he’s a smart person. They will find that Mr. Kim Jong-un is not that difficult to talk to.”

While encouraging fair dialog among the countries involved, she spoke on how North Korea could become a more successful nation: “They could try to open doors more toward other nations…even if they still want to keep their own political system… The free world people surely would like to make friends with the North Korean people and want to get to know them, to appreciate them.”

She said, “Anything for peace is worthy to pay, and then it’d be done… Every peaceful plan will be done.”

During the conference, Supreme Master discussed various spiritual topics and shared a message for the world: “Should concentrate on doing good things. Pray and meditate whatever way you can to the highest possible spiritual power. Eliminate evil tendencies in all corners of your life. Remember God at all times. Be grateful for whatever you have and all the blessings all over around you and in your life. Pray for the world’s wellness. Be vegan, make peace. And be grateful for your beautiful life and enjoy your short but beautiful existence.”
