Fast Route to Safety-Compliant Appliances: Free VDE Certified Library for XMC Microcontrollers Satisfies IEC60730 Class B Standard
Neubiberg, Germany, Monday, September 30, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) today announced the availability of a free VDE certified IEC 60730 self-test library for its XMC1000 and XMC4000 families of industrial 32-bit microcontrollers. With the Infineon Class B library packages, the XMC1000 and XMC4000 families satisfy the requirements defined by IEC 60730 Class B, a standard which is mandatory since October 2007 for the safety of household appliances sold in Europe. The standard affects all electronic controls used in home appliances to prevent unsafe operation, e.g. cookers and motor controls for dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers, cloth washers, and fans. In order to get household products certified, embedded microcontrollers have to perform certain self-tests to prove that they are running correctly at all times.
VDE is the German Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies and one of Europe's largest technical and scientific associations with more than 36,000 members. VDE provides an independent test and certification institute.
XMC hardware functions meet Class B requirements
The XMC microcontrollers integrate all hardware functions to meet Class B requirements, such as a CRC engine and watchdog with an independent clock. Combining these with the free self-test software library that offers detailed tests and diagnostic methods, XMC microcontrollers support a very effective approach to implement the related safety functionality for Class B certification. In addition to the startup tests such as reset mechanism, memory test (RAM, Flash, ECC and parity), clock system test (source, PLL and oscillators) and core tests, a rich set of runtime tests is provided. As a consequence, test routines on the CPU and on the microcontroller peripherals evaluated by a safety period monitoring mechanism ensure exact achievement of the Class B requirements on extremely high diagnostic coverage. The modular library design allows easy integration of startup tests and runtime tests into the application software or the customers' software designs.
XMC microcontrollers at a glance
Specifically developed to replace low-end 8-bit industrial MCUs, XMC1000 microcontrollers offer 32-bit performance at 8-bit prices and are targeted for use in household appliances. XMC1000 microcontrollers combine the ARM® CortexT-M0 processor with an advanced 32-bit peripheral set. Target applications include sensor and actuator systems, LED lighting, digital power conversion, such as uninterruptible power supplies, and simple motor drives, such as those used in household appliances, pumps, fans and e-bikes.
XMC4000 microcontrollers are based on the ARM® CortexT-M4 processor and offer application-optimized peripherals and outstanding real-time capability for electric drives, solar inverters and the automation of manufacturing and buildings. With flexible timers, fast ADCs, fast and robust Flash memory, extended temperature ranges of up to 125 °C and support for a large number of communications protocols they are well-suited for applications that improve energy efficiency.
Both the XMC1000 and XMC4000 are supported by the free, integrated development platform DAVE, which makes development of application-oriented software user-friendly and eases transition between the XMC1000 and XMC4000 families.
Cooperation with embedded systems solutions provider
In the field of Class B software library Infineon today cooperates with the embedded systems solutions provider Hitex Development Tools. Hitex provides the Class B software library for the XMC microcontrollers and supports XMC users to receive certification through VDE.
Availability
The Class B Certified packages are available for all products of the XMC4000 and XMC1000 families. They comprise the complete library and documentation.
Further information
The free software library supporting single-channel architecture with periodic self-test routines to be called at system startup or periodically at system run time is available at www.infineon.com/classB.
Further product information for the XMC4000 and XMC1000 families is available at www.infineon.com/xmc. DAVE is available as a free download from the Infineon website at www.infineon.com/dave.
Further information on Hitex is available at www.hitex.com

ManageEngine Launches OpManager Large Enterprise Edition
New Edition Blends Enterprise-Grade Scalability, Speed, Agility, Affordability for Companies and Service Providers
Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, Monday, September 30, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- -- Monitor 1 million interfaces or 50,000 devices from a single server without additional polling engines
-- Discover 15,000 interfaces or 5,000 devices in a minute
Manage Engine, the real-time IT management company, today announced the general availability of the Large Enterprise Edition of OpManager , the network and data center infrastructure management software. The new edition combines enterprise grade scalability, speed, agility and affordability for companies and service providers.
Today's enterprise IT strategies are no longer driven from the top down, heavily influenced by large vendors. Instead, CIOs formulate strategies based on a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach to IT management tools and techniques. This approach starts from the bottom up, providing better control and flexibility to the IT admins on the front lines. The shift in strategic thinking is being made possible by a new generation of IT management solutions that can be rapidly procured and deployed and easily operated by IT admins at the department level yet efficiently scale across the enterprise to meet IT managers' demands for unified IT management.
"For a lot of large enterprise IT departments, the DIY model of IT management tools and techniques works because it puts the IT team in charge," said Dev Anand, Director - Product Management, ManageEngine. "With DIY, you're not waiting for a battalion of consultants to turn up just to get your software up and running. OpManager Large Enterprise Edition is our response to the rise of DIY. This edition scales our proven, trusted infrastructure management solution to support the largest of enterprises."
OpManager Sets New Enterprise Standard
OpManager has over 10,000 small and medium enterprise customers and over 200 large enterprise customers. The OpManager Large Enterprise Edition builds on the solution's growing appeal with larger organizations.
With the launch of the Large Enterprise Edition, OpManager gains an ultrafast discovery engine that discovers 15,000 interfaces or 5,000 devices in a minute. Large enterprises and service providers can start monitoring their IT with OpManager in just a couple of hours instead of days.
OpManager Large Enterprise Edition also introduces a new, high-performance UI powered by ember.js. The UI supports keyboard shortcuts to accelerate navigation across thousands of alarms and performance graphs as IT teams work to understand the issue and identify where the exact fault is. OpManager features IT workflow automation to automate L1/L2 troubleshooting activities and repeated IT tasks.
Along with the other OpManager editions, OpManager Large Enterprise Edition differentiates from legacy solutions by adopting the do-it-yourself model favored by IT admins running modern data centers. From acquiring and installing the product to running network discovery and adding performance monitors, OpManager provides a very simple approach that most admins can easily follow without any training and consultation.
The majority of large enterprises and service providers are using multiple solutions to manage their networks or data centers. All OpManager editions offer a REST API for accessing OpManager's data and integrating with other IT management tools.
Pricing and Availability
OpManager Large Enterprise Edition is available immediately with prices starting at $60,000 for 1,000 devices.

ManageEngine Launches OpManager Large Enterprise Edition
New Edition Blends Enterprise-Grade Scalability, Speed, Agility, Affordability for Companies and Service Providers
Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, Monday, September 30, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- -- Monitor 1 million interfaces or 50,000 devices from a single server without additional polling engines
-- Discover 15,000 interfaces or 5,000 devices in a minute
Manage Engine, the real-time IT management company, today announced the general availability of the Large Enterprise Edition of OpManager , the network and data center infrastructure management software. The new edition combines enterprise grade scalability, speed, agility and affordability for companies and service providers.
Today's enterprise IT strategies are no longer driven from the top down, heavily influenced by large vendors. Instead, CIOs formulate strategies based on a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach to IT management tools and techniques. This approach starts from the bottom up, providing better control and flexibility to the IT admins on the front lines. The shift in strategic thinking is being made possible by a new generation of IT management solutions that can be rapidly procured and deployed and easily operated by IT admins at the department level yet efficiently scale across the enterprise to meet IT managers' demands for unified IT management.
"For a lot of large enterprise IT departments, the DIY model of IT management tools and techniques works because it puts the IT team in charge," said Dev Anand, Director - Product Management, ManageEngine. "With DIY, you're not waiting for a battalion of consultants to turn up just to get your software up and running. OpManager Large Enterprise Edition is our response to the rise of DIY. This edition scales our proven, trusted infrastructure management solution to support the largest of enterprises."
OpManager Sets New Enterprise Standard
OpManager has over 10,000 small and medium enterprise customers and over 200 large enterprise customers. The OpManager Large Enterprise Edition builds on the solution's growing appeal with larger organizations.
With the launch of the Large Enterprise Edition, OpManager gains an ultrafast discovery engine that discovers 15,000 interfaces or 5,000 devices in a minute. Large enterprises and service providers can start monitoring their IT with OpManager in just a couple of hours instead of days.
OpManager Large Enterprise Edition also introduces a new, high-performance UI powered by ember.js. The UI supports keyboard shortcuts to accelerate navigation across thousands of alarms and performance graphs as IT teams work to understand the issue and identify where the exact fault is. OpManager features IT workflow automation to automate L1/L2 troubleshooting activities and repeated IT tasks.
Along with the other OpManager editions, OpManager Large Enterprise Edition differentiates from legacy solutions by adopting the do-it-yourself model favored by IT admins running modern data centers. From acquiring and installing the product to running network discovery and adding performance monitors, OpManager provides a very simple approach that most admins can easily follow without any training and consultation.
The majority of large enterprises and service providers are using multiple solutions to manage their networks or data centers. All OpManager editions offer a REST API for accessing OpManager's data and integrating with other IT management tools.
Pricing and Availability
OpManager Large Enterprise Edition is available immediately with prices starting at $60,000 for 1,000 devices.

Bengaluru's Local Entrepreneur Launches Airporter.in
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Saturday, September 28, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- New Taxi Booking website - Airporter.in dispatches taxi in 20 minutes:
Airporter.in, an application developed by Cloud EPA, is Bengaluru's free online taxi booking service that directly integrates with local market place - Operators, Drivers and the Passengers. Passengers can book from the Web or their mobile phone, plus the ability to track the arrival of their taxi while drivers get to track and accept request using an SMS.
The application was an initiative from the Entrepreneur Ganesh Srinivas's own experience as Sr. IT Sales consultant, how difficult it was to get the taxi booked last minute - especially the out station and always wished a better way to get things done.
He says, "While our competition mainly caters to type of vehicle, Our USP is swiftness and consistency. Calling a Cab becomes easier and reliable with Airporter.in application, consumers can order a taxi online directly and Airporter.in would process through the dispatch system, having more control over the designated driver process and eliminating any hold times. Customers can book as late as 20-30 mins just when they actually want their ride and Airporter.in can still get things done for you. At the same time we promote quality, clean and safe passenger experience. Our work schedule for our Drivers is max of 12 hrs. per day, even for the outstation trips. Today, on the day of our start, we are networked with 120 Drivers".

In addition to the automated, personally managed reservation process, consumers can track the status of their taxi en route, with the application highlighting the car number and driver's name, providing an additional level of assurance. The application also provides fare estimates and allows mobile payment with a credit card, keeping the card in the consumer's wallet and eliminating the need to stop at an ATM.

The Pharmaceutical industry in the country is witnessing steady growth and is a major player in the Indian economy and is expected to touch US$ 35.9 billion by 2016.
However, the pharma companies in India are facing the challenge of an increasing complex, demanding and fast changing logistics and regulatory environment. Traditional approaches are being challenged by shorter market cycles, outsourced production, and increasing government regulations. Multinational Pharma companies are increasing efforts to strengthen their presence in India through research investment, licensing deals, co-marketing arrangements, acquisitions, or other partnerships. 25% of proposal received by FIPB are for Pharma. On the other hand approval timelines and over restrictive regulations are giving thoughts for India centric Pharma organisation for establishing base in countries offering transparent regulations.

Speaking on the occasion, PBA Srinivasan, Editor-in-Chief, Lex Witness said, "Non-Compliance related issues can cause irreparable reputational damage which can engulf the entire Indian Pharma sector with loss of credibility in global markets. There are apprehensions of increased scrutiny following recent news of dodgy compliance, hence right now is the time to revise the legal and compliance strategies concerned so as to ensure sustenance and future growth."
The day long discussion focussed on how to use compliance and ethical business practices as competitive business advantage, key elements of a compliance program, analysis of Legal and Regulatory Updates, Section 3d of Indian Patent Act, Patent Litigations: Recent Case Updates and Analysis, grey areas of Competition Law, Uniform Code of Pharmaceutical Marketing Practices (UCPMP), Contracts, Agreements and Dispute Management and Pharma Industry occupying 25% of FIPB.
Commenting on the significance of PLCS 2013, Shyam Grover, Group Editor & CEO, Lex Witness said "The structural growth drivers of Indian pharmaceutical industry continue to remain impervious and its future development demand that all the rules and regulations which guide, monitor and control the conducts of the contributors of the country's healthcare system and also examine the means to bring them at par with international standards. I am delighted that we took one step further towards progress by bringing together so many professionals of pharma sphere under one roof who made us see where we stand as of now and where we have to reach."
Chaired by A. S. Kumar, General Counsel, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., the summit's proficient speakers' panel included Abhishek Malhotra, Partner, TMT Law Practice | Ajay Thomas, Registrar, LCIA India | Amitava Chakraborty, Associate Partner, TMT Law Practice | Arjun Vaidyanathan, Partner & COO, Forensic KPMG | Darshini Bhatt, AGM IPR, Troikaa Pharmaceuticals Limited | Debolina Partap, Associate Vice President & Head Legal, Wockhardt Group, India | Dr. Nanda Kumar, Member, Advisory Board, Lex Witness | Dr. Milind Antani, Head - Pharma & Life Sciences, Nishith Desai Associates | Gowree Gokhale, Partner, Nishith Desai Associates | KP Pradeep, Healthcare Compliance Officer, Johnson & Johnson, South Asia | Marshall Mendonza, Independent Legal Professional | MM Sharma, Head-Competition Law and Policy, Vaish Associates Advocates | Mukundan Bharathan, Senior Legal Counsel, GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd | Sanjay Sharma, CFE, CPP, Regional Security Manager, Asia Pacific - Japan, Global Security Group, MSD - Merck, Sharp & Dohme Corp. | Sanjay Singh, Director, Corporate Finance KPMG India | Sofi Joseph Head, Regulatory Operations, Pfizer Limited | Vivekananda N., Deputy Registrar & Head (South Asia), SIAC.

The summit provided an ideal platform to all business experts and stakeholders from the country's top 20 Pharma Companies to come together and discuss the recent regulation, grey areas, business impact and implementation solutions.
Globally, India is one amongst the leading five pharmaceutical emerging markets and it leads the range of specialties involving drugs' manufacture, development, and technology. The Pharmaceutical industry in the country is witnessing steady growth and is a major player in the Indian economy and is expected to touch US$ 35.9 billion by 2016.
However, the pharma companies in India are facing the challenge of an increasing complex, demanding and fast changing logistics and regulatory environment. Traditional approaches are being challenged by shorter market cycles, outsourced production, and increasing government regulations. Multinational Pharma companies are increasing efforts to strengthen their presence in India through research investment, licensing deals, co-marketing arrangements, acquisitions, or other partnerships. 25% of proposal received by FIPB are for Pharma. On the other hand approval timelines and over restrictive regulations are giving thoughts for India centric Pharma organisation for establishing base in countries offering transparent regulations.
Therefore, with increasing management expectations on business strategy formulation, especially in a complex regulatory environment, the 2nd Edition of Pharma Legal and Compliance Summit witnessed veteran speakers analysing, interpreting and strategizing current and future response to legal, regulatory and compliance challenges.
With the Competition Commission of India starting a study on the domestic pharmaceutical industry, there exists an urgent need for Pharma companies to understand and analyse the implication of competition act on their business practise and processes. The layout and agenda of the power packed summit included panel discussions on Practical Strategies for driving Compliance and Contracts, Agreements and Dispute Management, Q&A rounds and networking sessions of over 100 proficient industry veterans.
Speaking on the occasion, PBA Srinivasan, Editor-in-Chief, Lex Witness said, "Non-Compliance related issues can cause irreparable reputational damage which can engulf the entire Indian Pharma sector with loss of credibility in global markets. There are apprehensions of increased scrutiny following recent news of dodgy compliance, hence right now is the time to revise the legal and compliance strategies concerned so as to ensure sustenance and future growth."
The day long discussion focussed on how to use compliance and ethical business practices as competitive business advantage, key elements of a compliance program, analysis of Legal and Regulatory Updates, Section 3d of Indian Patent Act, Patent Litigations: Recent Case Updates and Analysis, grey areas of Competition Law, Uniform Code of Pharmaceutical Marketing Practices (UCPMP), Contracts, Agreements and Dispute Management and Pharma Industry occupying 25% of FIPB.
Commenting on the significance of PLCS 2013, Shyam Grover, Group Editor & CEO, Lex Witness said "The structural growth drivers of Indian pharmaceutical industry continue to remain impervious and its future development demand that all the rules and regulations which guide, monitor and control the conducts of the contributors of the country's healthcare system and also examine the means to bring them at par with international standards. I am delighted that we took one step further towards progress by bringing together so many professionals of pharma sphere under one roof who made us see where we stand as of now and where we have to reach."

Kumar, General Counsel, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., the summit's proficient speakers' panel included Abhishek Malhotra, Partner, TMT Law Practice | Ajay Thomas, Registrar, LCIA India | Amitava Chakraborty, Associate Partner, TMT Law Practice | Arjun Vaidyanathan, Partner & COO, Forensic KPMG | Darshini Bhatt, AGM IPR, Troikaa Pharmaceuticals Limited | Debolina Partap, Associate Vice President & Head Legal, Wockhardt Group, India | Dr. Nanda Kumar, Member, Advisory Board, Lex Witness | Dr. Milind Antani, Head - Pharma & Life Sciences, Nishith Desai Associates | Gowree Gokhale, Partner, Nishith Desai Associates | KP Pradeep, Healthcare Compliance Officer, Johnson & Johnson, South Asia | Marshall Mendonza, Independent Legal Professional | MM Sharma, Head-Competition Law and Policy, Vaish Associates Advocates | Mukundan Bharathan, Senior Legal Counsel, GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd | Sanjay Sharma, CFE, CPP, Regional Security Manager, Asia Pacific - Japan, Global Security Group, MSD - Merck, Sharp & Dohme Corp. | Sanjay Singh, Director, Corporate Finance KPMG India | Sofi Joseph Head, Regulatory Operations, Pfizer Limited | Vivekananda N., Deputy Registrar & Head (South Asia), SIAC.

Citizen Launches the Fastest Satellite Synchronized Watch in the World
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, September 26, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- -- A revolutionary leap by CITIZEN with the launch of Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE - AIR and Eco-Drive ALTICHRON collection in India
-- Both belong to the PROMASTER marquee, which is being launched today
CITIZEN today launched its latest PROMASTER collection in India, considerably a revolutionary leap in the history of the watch-making industry. Present at the event was the Filmfare award winner and Bollywood sensation, Vidut Jamwal, a very popular contemporary action hero who unveiled the collection at the Palladium Hotel, Lower Parel, and Mumbai.
Renowned for the 'fusion of technology and beauty', CITIZEN has been innovating futuristic environment friendly and state-of-the-art technologies that have helped to herald revolutionary concepts like Eco-Drive and Super Titanium watches. Today CITIZEN is back again in the limelight with the launch of its latest PROMASTER collection -Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE - AIR and Eco-Drive ALTICHRON.
Speaking to the media, Mr. Katsusuke Tokura, Managing Director, CITIZEN Watches (India) Pvt. Ltd. said, "In this fast-changing world, time is always a constraint, especially if it's about innovation and technological advances. CITIZEN's Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE - AIR, the fastest satellite synchronized watch in the world, is not only superior in design and state-of-the-art technology but also highly desirable. The Eco-Drive ALTICHRON extends the model's legendary altimeter performance and elevates the multi-functionality even higher. Both the watches have enhanced performance with newer technologies and provocative design."
ECO-DRIVE SATELLITE WAVE - AIR
This advanced satellite timekeeping system delivers much higher reception sensitivity and is the world's first light-powered watch with a full-metal case that receives time signals from navigation satellites. It engages atomic clocks of the closest orbital satellites circling the earth from about 20,000 kilometers above, and beams signals directly back to your watch no matter where you are. Further, this system dynamically adjusts your time so that you'll never be out of sync. Its speed to correct the time is also the fastest among all satellite-synchronized watches.
The design of both sides of the titanium case was inspired by the streamlined structures of wings, enhancing the impression of dynamism and lightness. The dial suggests the rotating fan blades of an aircraft engine, associated with an image that suggests drawing light and satellite signals from the sky. The dial consists of three transparent layers, over which indexes, windows and hands are laid out respectively, creating an airy floating impression.
ECO-DRIVE ALTICHRON
While the Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE - AIR has redefined 'cutting-edge' by adopting technologies that are out of this world, the Eco-Drive ALTICHRON series have pushed the boundaries of convention far beyond. Right at home in extreme environments, the Eco-Drive ALTICHRON offers dual-sensor altimeter, electronic compass and unprecedented operational range from 300 meters below sea-level to an astonishing 10,000 meters in the atmosphere. At the push of a single button, ultra-precise measurement of depth, height or direction is displayed simultaneously with the time.
Celebrity and Bollywood actor, Mr. Vidut Jamwal added, "I am highly privileged to have been provided the opportunity to unveil the Eco-Drive SATELITE WAVE - AIR in India. Technologically advanced and impressive in design, 'Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE - AIR' is enchanting. Fashionable yet sophisticated, it spells elegance and power that will unravel the geek in you. I feel connected to CITIZEN as a brand since they are always innovating."
Both these new models are categorized under the PROMASTER marquee, CITIZEN's renowned brand highly acclaimed for its supreme durability in even the harshest environments and for its superior functionality.
Imagination is the landscape of the mind,
where all of us since childhood have desired to venture beyond.
It's never really a destination we can reach.
Rather, it epitomizes our unquenchable drive to push passion forward
well ahead of our time.
Availability: Major Metros
Price: Satellite Wave - Air - 1, 65, 000 onwards
Eco-Drive Altichron - 55, 000 onwards

It's an artisan's approach to watchmaking based on pushing forward the boundaries of technology and leveraging our experience toward exploring new possibilities.
One pivotal technological breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch. CITIZEN pioneered this engineering innovation well ahead of other watch manufacturers as early as 1976, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. Utilizing electrical power converted from virtually any light source, this extraordinary innovation changed forever the way watches could be powered. Eco-Drive eliminated the need to ever replace batteries, which made it especially beneficial to areas where such specialist batteries were not obtainable. This leveled the field for citizens of virtually every country to be able to experience unrestricted joy of wearing and using a CITIZEN watch.
Our product development policy, "The Fusion of Technology and Beauty," remains a constant motivation for us to merge cutting-edge technology with perfection of design beauty, which as a consequence inspires people to strive to be their best at any time.

Present at the event was the Filmfare award winner and Bollywood sensation, Vidut Jamwal, a very popular contemporary action hero who unveiled the collection at the Palladium Hotel, Lower Parel, and Mumbai.
Renowned for the 'fusion of technology and beauty', CITIZEN has been innovating futuristic environment friendly and state-of-the-art technologies that have helped to herald revolutionary concepts like Eco-Drive and Super Titanium watches. Today CITIZEN is back again in the limelight with the launch of its latest PROMASTER collection -Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE - AIR and Eco-Drive ALTICHRON.
Speaking to the media, Mr. Katsusuke Tokura, Managing Director, CITIZEN Watches (India) Pvt. Ltd. said, "In this fast-changing world, time is always a constraint, especially if it's about innovation and technological advances. CITIZEN's Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE - AIR, the fastest satellite synchronized watch in the world, is not only superior in design and state-of-the-art technology but also highly desirable. The Eco-Drive ALTICHRON extends the model's legendary altimeter performance and elevates the multi-functionality even higher. Both the watches have enhanced performance with newer technologies and provocative design."
ECO-DRIVE SATELLITE WAVE - AIR
This advanced satellite timekeeping system delivers much higher reception sensitivity and is the world's first light-powered watch with a full-metal case that receives time signals from navigation satellites. It engages atomic clocks of the closest orbital satellites circling the earth from about 20,000 kilometers above, and beams signals directly back to your watch no matter where you are. Further, this system dynamically adjusts your time so that you'll never be out of sync. Its speed to correct the time is also the fastest among all satellite-synchronized watches.
The design of both sides of the titanium case was inspired by the streamlined structures of wings, enhancing the impression of dynamism and lightness. The dial suggests the rotating fan blades of an aircraft engine, associated with an image that suggests drawing light and satellite signals from the sky. The dial consists of three transparent layers, over which indexes, windows and hands are laid out respectively, creating an airy floating impression.
ECO-DRIVE ALTICHRON
While the Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE - AIR has redefined 'cutting-edge' by adopting technologies that are out of this world, the Eco-Drive ALTICHRON series have pushed the boundaries of convention far beyond. Right at home in extreme environments, the Eco-Drive ALTICHRON offers dual-sensor altimeter, electronic compass and unprecedented operational range from 300 meters below sea-level to an astonishing 10,000 meters in the atmosphere. At the push of a single button, ultra-precise measurement of depth, height or direction is displayed simultaneously with the time.
Celebrity and Bollywood actor, Mr. Vidut Jamwal added, "I am highly privileged to have been provided the opportunity to unveil the Eco-Drive SATELITE WAVE - AIR in India. Technologically advanced and impressive in design, 'Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE - AIR' is enchanting. Fashionable yet sophisticated, it spells elegance and power that will unravel the geek in you. I feel connected to CITIZEN as a brand since they are always innovating."
Both these new models are categorized under the PROMASTER marquee, CITIZEN's renowned brand highly acclaimed for its supreme durability in even the harshest environments and for its superior functionality.
Imagination is the landscape of the mind,
where all of us since childhood have desired to venture beyond.
It's never really a destination we can reach.
Rather, it epitomizes our unquenchable drive to push passion forward
well ahead of our time.
