SAN FRANCISCO, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
CMP Media LLC (Nasdaq: UNEWY) today announced projected attendance figures of
approximately 11,500 engineers, developers, managers, exhibitors, speakers and
media from 41 different countries at this year's Embedded Systems Conference
(ESC) San Francisco (http://www.embedded.com/esc). In addition, Elmic Systems was
named winner of the Best of Show award for its demonstration of the
Vocera Communications System, a wearable clip-on wireless 802.11b device which
enables instant voice-activated communication among people within a building
or campus-like setting. A prestigious panel of industry editors and analysts
narrowed a field of 30 submissions to 14 finalists and judged the
Vocera Communications System to have the most innovative embedded technology
in an end-user application.
"It's an honor to win this award at the premier event for the embedded
industry. We submitted the Vocera Communications System because it utilized
our cutting edge technology to enable an end-user product that truly improves
quality of life," stated Kevin McGuire, president and COO for Elmic Systems.
"The Embedded Systems Conference has been the stepping-stone that has allowed
Elmic Systems to rise from relative obscurity to become an integral player in
the market."
"The Best of Show award was just one highlight at this year's conference,"
stated Lindsey Vereen, conference director. "A forward-looking keynote
presentation, a thought-provoking business panel, and a pragmatic,
tutorial-based technical conference were also well received, and have provided
attendees with insight they can apply to current design challenges and to help
make successful business decisions during these demanding economic times."
