Interush and the New Internet of Things Trend

IRVINE, Calif., May 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The web is buzzing with the catchphrase “The Internet of Things,” (IoT) which refers to the way in which the Internet impacts our lives by reducing the need for humans to handle the operation of the gadgets, tools and technology around us, by creating objects that pass on information to one another through advanced connectivity. When things we use are “online” in this way, our professional lives become more efficient, while our personal lives improve in quality. All this advanced technology allows us to have more time to enjoy our hobbies and leisurely activities, as well as spend time with our family and friends.

The revolution of IoT has already begun, and it is taking the information technology sector by storm. According to a recent article by The Guardian, an estimated 50 billion devices will be connected by the year 2020, as the trend continues to spread across related industries. Amazon.com, one of the largest e-commerce companies in the United States, launched the dash button in 2015, a button that can be placed on regular household items and locations in order to instantly order a participating product that the consumer is running out of. For example, one can now order toothpaste or detergent by pressing the button and alerting Amazon that new supply is desired.

IoT is the very materialization of the core Interush belief that “The Internet Makes Everything Possible.” The Internet is no longer thought of as restricted to our desktops, tablets, mobile phones or laptops, it is quickly becoming a thread that weaves together devices and technology that we use to make life easier on a daily basis. As an example, we wear pedometers that count our steps and track our caloric intake; we use mobile phone applications that control the lights, locks and alarms in our homes; we are starting to use the first iteration of cars that can park themselves, and as final example, we navigate with GPS systems that talk to us and tell us where to go. You can ask your personal mobile phone “assistant” any question and you’ll get some type of answer (even if it’s not always the most logical one). A mobile phone can set reminders for you so that you never have to forget a task; she can provide directions to the nearest gas station; and she can even convert units of measurement for you when you are grocery shopping for cooking ingredients.

Interush International LLC, a leading innovator of technologies for an Asian clientele, offers products that seamlessly connect your Internet devices, true to the principle of the Internet of Things. PHYTTER® DOCK is one example: a cloud-based digital file storage system that allows you to access them anytime, anywhere through your preferred web-connected device, linking all of your gadgets through one solution. PHYTTER®, a portable VoIP technology, allows you to phone, FAX and instant message any phone or computer, providing for versatile online communications.

The Internet is the invention of the 21st century. It continues to revolutionize the way we live as we evolve into increasingly more advanced human beings. As we like to emphasize, our mission at Interush is: “To inspire, teach and empower people to live happier, healthier and more affluent lives through being able to more fully utilize the Internet.”

PHYTTER® DOCK is a cloud storage system provided by PHYTTER®, a VoIP online communication and messaging software solution that is powered by Interush Media, LLC of Irvine, California, which markets within the rapidly expanding information technology sector in Asia.

Created as the world’s first SIM card that lets you chat free of charge, without limits and without Wi-Fi, using instant messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, QQ, Viber, LINE etc.), ChatSim is forging ahead as it grows exponentially: over 100 thousand SIM cards sold and distribution agreements signed in 30 countries .

Zeromobile – Italy’s number one low-cost global mobile operator (http://www.zeromobile.it) – has decided to create its start-up, which is the brainchild of Manuel Zanella (38 years old), the company’s founder and CEO. The transaction sees the participation of Angelsim Sarl, a Luxembourg investment company that groups together several international investors with many years of experience in investment to support start-ups. This has led to the agreement between Zeromobile and Angelsim Sarl allowing ChatSim to go from being a Zeromobile start-up to an independent company.

This venture capital company has been mesmerized by the figures and potential for growth of ChatSim. So it has decided to invest EUR1 million in the business set up by Manuel Zanella, which is already worth over EUR4 million after a few months from its launch .

Manuel Zanella is satisfied with the deal reached with Angelsim Sarl and reveals: “It is a market we invented just four months ago. That’s another reason why I found a partner who decided to bet on ChatSim just a few months after the launch of my business. One of the targets of the deal ? Selling 1 million SIM cards by 2016 .”

Besides chatting for free without limits with all IM apps, without Wi-Fi, ChatSim is also the first “Instant Messaging SIM” in the world to introduce voice calls with all IM apps as a single voice communication system. Even without Wi-Fi.

itslearning and Lightspeed Systems Partner to Transition My Big Campus Customers to itslearning Platform

BOSTON, Massachusetts, May 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — itslearning (http://www.itslearning.net ), maker of the personalized learning management platform of the same name, has announced a strategic partnership with Lightspeed Systems (http://www.lightspeedsystems.com ), creators of the My Big Campus (MBC) learning management system. Lightspeed Systems is retiring its LMS and has selected the itslearning platform as the preferred alternative for MBC customers.

In addition to assisting MBC users as they transition to itslearning’s digital learning environment, the partnership will strive to make a unique K-12 experience by integrating the itslearning platform with Lightspeed Systems. The partnership will support seamless content migration from MBC to the itslearning platform.

“We’ve found a way to preserve what our customers love most about MBC and transition them onto a mature, competitively advanced LMS,” said Joel Heinrich, Lightspeed Systems CEO. “The powerful combination of the acclaimed itslearning platform, high-quality content migration, and MBC’s safety is unparalleled.”

To make the transition easier for MBC customers, itslearning will be offering a special conversion package wherein any pre-payments made for MBC will be credited to customers’ account for use of the new integrated platform. The company is also offering a preferred rate to customers transitioning from MBC. More information can be found at http://info.itslearning.net/IL-mybigcampus.html

“It is a great testament to the value of the itslearning business and platform that we have been selected by the MBC team, and more importantly by their customers, as their preferred platform of choice to migrate away from MBC,” said Arne Bergby, CEO of itslearning. “I’m confident that this will ease the concern of districts that are planning to transition onto another platform for the coming school year.”

Designed specifically for the K-12 sector, the itslearning platform’s seamless integration with existing systems creates a user-friendly interface that gives teachers a way to share instructional resources, assignments and activities, and assessments with students and parents via personalized dashboards. At the same time, students have the power to decide how they learn as the solution automatically adapts to support learning styles that offer the best opportunities for success.
