We handle thousands of data recovery cases each year, achieving a 95% recovery success rate, to our clients’ great satisfaction,” said Panagiotis Pierros, Managing Director, TicTac Data Recovery & Cyber Security.

Comodo AEP secures endpoints from ransomware, data breaches and malware with a ‘zero-trust’ architecture that verifies every unknown executable to prevent damage.

Also, many of our clients were asking for the industry’s best endpoint protection after experiencing ransomware. We chose Comodo because its AEP is the most reputable product for protecting against ransomware. You can’t beat Comodo’s one-hundred percent protection against ransomware damage!” “TicTac Laboratories’ legacy of success is built on ensuring a great experience to every customer, every time. Our partnership with TicTac will help them continue the tradition of excellent customer service with world-class solutions,” said Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Comodo.

Building on Success of Its Business and Financial Networks, Dianomi Now Offers Lifestyle Brands a Distinct Premium Native-at-Scale Environment

Dianomi

Dianomi , the financial and business-focused native ad marketplace for premium brands and publishers, today announced it has begun testing a new, distinct lifestyle marketplace with select brands and publishers, including The Washington Post and Kiplinger. The industry-first offering offers lifestyle brands a premium, brand-suitable environment, providing important revenue streams for lifestyle publishers that goes beyond core programmatic display. As part of Dianomi’s mission of maintaining contextual relevance, the lifestyle marketplace is separate from its core financial and business network and will ensure audiences see brand content that is in context of the premium subject matter they’re engaged with. "Ad quality is what originally drew us to Dianomi years ago and it's still what sets them apart from the field," said Andy Price, Head of Revenue Operations, North America at Dennis. "When branching out to new verticals, it's important that we continue to provide a quality, meaningful experience for our readers. We're delighted to work with the premium lifestyle brands that Dianomi brings to our audience." As brands look to reallocate ad budgets from social platforms and third-party, data-targeted display to more brand-safe environments, Dianomi has established its lifestyle network to answer to advertiser demand for more premium, in-context and brand-safe solutions that operate at scale. Dianomi has proven its ability to bring premium brands and publishers in the professional services and financial industries together and is building upon that expertise for lifestyle brands and publishers, starting initially with automotive, fashion, travel and hospitality verticals. “Lifestyle brands and publishers we work with have been asking us for a brand-suitable, premium native content solution and we are answering their call. It’s early days but we are already seeing terrific results in helping brands reach new audiences and offering the world's leading publishers an important incremental revenue stream,” said Rupert Hodson, Co-Founder and CEO of Dianomi. “For marketers who create deep, professional brand assets – catalogs, look books, videos, thought pieces – that go beyond display, we offer them the magic of putting the right content in front of audiences at precisely the moment of interest. In addition, we know blue-chip publishers don’t want to see ‘belly fat’ ads at the bottom of their pages and are increasingly insisting on premium ad partners. Now that both publishers and brands are reevaluating advertising and monetization strategies, it was the perfect time to expand our solutions to new categories of brands and publishers.” Dianomi is a performance-driven ad platform, where advertisers only pay based on performance, cost per click (CPC) or cost per view on video. This ensures ad dollars are being spent on real results and not lost to low performing tactics. Dianomi’s publishing partners include The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, Fast Company, VOX Media, Bloomberg, Reuters, BBC , and Fortune and features brands such as BlackRock, Fidelity, Etrade, and Charles Schwab. Dianomi serves more than 8.5 billion ads on 220 premium publications, reaching more than 340 million readers per month across the U.S., EMEA, and APAC. About Dianomi Dianomi is the native ad platform for the financial services, technology, corporate, and lifestyle sectors, providing advertisers with access to a global audience of 340 million online consumers.

San Diego’s KWFN Becomes First Multi-Site MaxxCast™ Deployment Delivering HD Signal

GeoBroadcast Solutions

Entercom radio station KWFN-FM in San Diego has substantially improved its signal through the launch of a MaxxCasting ™ system from GeoBroadcast Solutions . The four-node single-frequency network (SFN), which represents the first commercially deployed HD Radio™ Single Frequency Network (HD SFN), extends clear FM and HD Radio coverage up and down the busy Interstate 15 and State Route 78 corridors. The improved signal also increases penetration with Nielsen PPM Portable People Meters (PPMs) to help broadcasters accurately measure audiences and set advertising rates. This successful implementation of an HD SFN through MaxxCasting also demonstrates that geo-targeting for radio will work when the boosters are equipped with GeoBroadcast Solutions’ ZoneCasting ™ technology. The FCC is currently considering a rule change petition that would permit radio broadcasters to air geo-targeted programming. ZoneCasting will eventually owe its success to MaxxCasting, the foundational architecture that is currently boosting FM and HD signals from the Boston market’s WXLO-FM to KWFN in San Diego. “Providing a digitally clear, strong HD signal to the flagship station of the San Diego Padres serves the expanded listening audience and advertisers,” said Bill Hieatt, CTO of GeoBroadcast Solutions. “The MaxxCasting system now reaches listeners in previously underserved areas north of San Diego, including the cities of Escondido, Ramona, and San Marcos. The immediate results have been positive: KWFN saw a one-month ratings share increase from 1.8 to 2.5 post-launch.” The San Diego market is very terrain-intensive, and signal penetration is limited due to the density of hills. Yet JR Rogers, Market Technical Operations Director, San Diego for Entercom noted that, “there is no question that commuter listening experience has improved, as the holes in the signal coverage have been greatly diminished.” He also sees potential for broader audience growth for key programs including, Ben & Woods, KWFN’s new morning Sports Talk show. “The community was previously served by a massive AM signal originating in Mexico,” said Rogers. “We especially wanted to provide the Padres and their fans as close to 100 percent coverage as possible. While high-power AM has a much broader coverage pattern, FM offers far superior sound. The MaxxCasting system will provide the community with higher quality game coverage, and better penetrate the entire market.” GeoBroadcast worked closely with GatesAir for the KWFN installation, using its Flexiva™ transmitters with FAX Exgine exciters, a Flexiva FXMi 4g Exporter/Importer HD Radio system, and Intraplex IP networking and synchronization gear. The latter time-locks FM and HD signals between the main transmitter and four nodes. MaxxCasting is a system of FM on-channel boosters (SFN) with transmitters fully synchronized to boost the signal from the main transmitter with seamless transitions from the main to the booster nodes. Other important contributors to the project include Bert Goldman of Goldman Engineering Management, which provided the bridge between system design and FCC compliance; and SCMS, which managed equipment sales and staging. Shively provided all directional antennas for the network. GeoBroadcast Solutions has been continuously testing and improving ZoneCasting in the field and at its headquarter laboratory in Chicago, through simulations and modeling. The geo-targeting technology uses existing consumer radios that receive FM booster radio stations within the primary station’s service area. The boosters originate separate localized content and insert it at specific and limited times. When not operating in geotargeting mode, the primary station’s signal is amplified, thus improving the signal in the area covered by a number of the boosters at all times. This technology, which would be optional for broadcasters, does not impact interference between neighboring stations and does not cause harmful self-interference. The rule GeoBroadcast seeks to change relates to FM boosters, and no changes to the FCC's rules regarding translators or interference are necessary. Radio is currently the only mass medium that cannot geo-target its content. The television industry gained the ability to geo-target in 2017 when the FCC adopted the Next-Gen TV standard — also known as ATSC 3.0 – at the urging of NAB. The ability for radio stations to add localized weather and traffic, news, advertising, and emergency alerting during parts of a broadcast hour is beneficial to listeners, small businesses, and advertisers. It would allow the radio industry to progress and remain competitive in the market. # # # About GeoBroadcast Solutions LLC GeoBroadcast Solutions was formed in 2011 to develop the ZoneCasting™ Geo-Targeting platform. This platform has been successfully tested under special FCC authorization. Geo-Targeted separation of the main channel audio of an FM radio station to its listeners allows the ability to split an FM signal into local “zones.” Out of this development effort came MaxxCasting™, which increases signal quality, PPM watermark decoding, and allows geographic targeting and fencing of radio screen advertising. It is successfully deployed and operational in many markets and growing rapidly. Additional information is available at www.geobroadcastsolutions.com .
