Adaptive Optics

AOptix has developed a highly innovative, simple, compact, low-power, rugged, fast and inherently self-calibrating adaptive optics system that can enable extremely high bandwidth laser communication links. The AO system measures atmospheric turbulence-induced scintillation and precorrects the transmitted (outgoing) beam for the known atmospheric conditions. AOptix's recent advancements in system performance have increased AO closed-loop bandwidth to approximately 1 kHz (@0 dB), enabling AO correction speeds sufficient for lasercom links between aircraft, ships and the ground.

Our Adaptive Optics technology is:

Unique: By delivering lasercom systems using adaptive optics, AOptix has developed a new technology to meet the biggest challenge facing the lasercom industry - the atmosphere. AOptix has a unique and sustainable technology advantage that redefines the lasercom market by addressing and correcting atmospheric distortions. This patented technology will dramatically accelerate the adoption of lasercom and enable massive increases in the bandwidth available to military platforms of all types.

Provides Precise Tracking and Maximum Link Margin: AO delivers the highest link margin and the lowest link loss because it efficiently handles beam divergence, scintillation and tracking. Beam divergence occurs as a light path is scattered and increases in size as it travels through the atmosphere. Most lasercom solutions use divergence to compensate for mispointing and platform motion. AO significantly reduces divergence and therefore increases the power density on the receive end. Pointing, tracking, and platform motion are accommodated using the capabilities of AO.

Mobility is Essential to Enterprise Success

In today's fiercely competitive business climate, your company's relationship with its customers determines your success more than any other single business factor. Responsive companies win, laggards fail. From the CEO to the summer intern, availability directly translates to success, for information, service, decisions and creative collaboration. As a result, mobile accessibility has become an enterprise necessity, both inside and outside the office.

To satisfy this need, enterprises have typically relied on externally-managed mobility solutions from wireless carriers and other service providers, for voice and data communications. However, these mobility solutions are expensive and often lack the rich business features required by enterprises. Furthermore, the management of these mobility solutions often resides outside of enterprise control. A lack of viable alternative solutions leads most enterprises to deploy fractured solutions and structure their collaboration practices around the inherent drawbacks. Workers are required to carry multiple devices, juggle multiple voicemails with a loss of access to feature-rich PBX systems, while IT foots huge bills for cellular airtime, managing multiple and disparate communications-platforms. Despite these inconveniences, mobile professionals have become reliant on this chaos, and the enterprise has become slave to its mobile communications solutions.

Network-Independent Wireless Communications

Today, communications devices are generally network-specific. Inbound and outbound voice calls on cellular, land line and WiFi networks cannot be handled in a unified fashion through a single device. Leaving the confines of enterprise locations forces users to end calls on one network to initiate a new call on another. Multiple network-specific phones frustrate attempts to reach mobile workers when they're needed. Similarly, data connections are segregated by networks and devices. Under these fractured network circumstances, quality of business presence varies, and mobile workers lack a unified channel to participate in business operations to a consistent standard.

DiVitas makes enterprise-relevant communications networks transparently available to users through a single wireless handset and Fixed -Mobile Convergence (FMC) functionality that includes multi-network roaming, seamless handoff, and secure remote access. This extends enterprise security, management and cost control to wireless communications. The DiVitas enterprise won't use cell phones or desk phones - just a wireless universal voice, digital media and data workstation in your hand.

No matter what network you're near, with DiVitas your decision environment will be with you. A single wireless handset ensures your presence and participation in business operations, irrespective of the underlying network available to keep you connected.

Integrity Management: Continual Analysis through a Holistic, Business-oriented Filter

Integrity Management provides the analytic power to help you holistically view and optimally support the portion of your enterprise IT infrastructure that each important transaction depends on, equally across all functional stacks, including the network, servers, operating systems, and logical services from the database to the application server. The figure below shows what's involved.

Click to enlarge

• Discovery and Real-time Data Analysis: Integrity management requires full discovery and low-overhead collection of data. Partial implementations due to the overhead of agents simply can't assure operating integrity because some system components are left unmonitored and inter-component dependencies are left unidentified.
• End-to-end view of IT infrastructure: As a foundation, a consistent, end-to-end view through an intuitive interface allows IT staff better control than trying to work with different views of each component silo.
• Business Transaction View: Filtering out everything extraneous to focus on the interdependent components that power each business transaction is critical when a problem impacts that transaction.
• Dynamic Thresholding: Static thresholds detect only when a single measure, set with a particular condition in mind, is exceeded. But “normal” is a variable that changes constantly based on overall system load and component interactions. Integrity management sets thresholds dynamically based on a system component’s history of operation. This enables application of advanced algorithms to detect a variety of abnormal behaviors under a variety of conditions at the first sign that metric behavior is becoming abnormal.
• Event Correlation: Integrity management requires event correlation that uses critical information defined in transactions to apply automated root cause analysis. This analysis looks at such issues as topology, time shifts, and other behavior. It also self-learns various event scenarios over time by taking an event fingerprint of known problems. It can then anticipate problems by comparing current events to these fingerprints.
• Forewarnings of Issues and Constraints: Based on the information analyzed across all the functional stacks involved in transactions, integrity management can issue alerts to the right expert in order to allow looming issues to be corrected before they impact the business.

The Rubicon Project is a group of industry-experienced, aggressive and passionate renegades dedicated to bringing a new level of efficiency to the fragmented Internet advertising space. The founders of the Rubicon Project shook up the online advertising industry in 1998 when they created L90/adMonitor, one of the most successful Internet advertising platforms that served over 3,000 of the web’s most recognized sites, reaching 65% of the Internet population before DoubleClick acquired it.

$27 Billion was spent advertising online in 2007, yet it’s still too hard for websites to sell their ad space online. While Internet advertising is an explosive market, it is an incredibly inefficient one with advertisers spending money with 300 disparate advertising networks worldwide (e.g. Google AdSense, Yahoo! Publisher Network, HispanoClick and Adtegrity). the Rubicon Project’s web-based, self-serve solution gives any size website the most complete access to the total available advertising market and its smart matching technology does all the work to perfectly match each ad impression with the optimal money-making opportunity. the Rubicon Project is the new online advertising standard that makes it effortless for websites to generate the mad cash they've always dreamed of. And, it’s free to join. Websites looking to make more money while doing less work should click here to sign-up.

Our Name

the Rubicon Project is our code name. Rubicon is a river in Italy and a popular idiom meaning to go past the point of no return. In ancient history, the Rubicon River was a boundary line between Gaul and Italy. It’s believed that when Julius Caesar crossed the river in 49 B.C. he said, "The die is cast" and this phrase became the catalyst for his rise to power. So, the phrase "crossing the Rubicon" has come to represent the moment when people commit themselves to a risky and revolutionary course of action.

Our Team

the Rubicon Project was started by a team of proven, successful web peeps and we’re serious when we say that!

Serial entrepreneur, Frank Addante, started 5 successful companies, resulting in 1 IPO, 2 acquisitions, 1 failure (we call that one “a learning experience”) and his most recent venture, StrongMail Systems, a high-growth Sequoia Capital backed technology company. StrongMail supplies email marketing technology to thousands of the world’s largest companies. In 1998, Frank invented adMonitor™, one of the Internet's most successful advertising platforms. adMonitor delivered billions (with a “b”) of advertisements for over 3,000 blue-chip customers including Microsoft, Visa and AT&T and reached 65% of the Internet population. L90/adMonitor had a successful, $112M IPO in 2001 and was later acquired by DoubleClick.

So, what’s next?

Well, after identifying an enormous opportunity in the Internet advertising space, Frank got together with the original team that built adMonitor (Craig, Julie and Duc), a S.W.A.T. team of successful entrepreneurs and Internet advertising experts, and together they started the Rubicon Project. Stated simply, their mission is to change the face of Internet advertising forever. Ambitious? Yep. Possible? Completely.

We’ll fill you in on more soon but in the meantime, check out this entry on Frank’s blog: "GoogleClick - Who owns your cash register?"

Why is it that marketers cannot accurately identify this waste? Traditional media - television, radio, outdoor and others - typically charge advertisers on a cost-per-thousand basis (CPM). These same media do not have an exact methodology to measure the success or failure of an advertising campaign, i.e., return on investment (ROI). We do, and have had for years. In our industry, FindWhat.com and GoTo were the first to realize and act upon this void by launching Pay-Per-Click ads in the late 1990s, where advertisers paid when ads performed.

With MIVA's intense focus on performance and ROI, if Leverhulme, Woolworth or Wanamaker were here today, their complaint about wasted advertising budgets would be reduced dramatically, especially if they advertised with MIVA.

MIVA has continued to evolve as we have aggregated and developed new products and services to better serve our customers. Today we offer a range of products and services through our three industry-facing divisions - MIVA Media, MIVA Small Business and MIVA Direct - aimed at significantly enhancing an advertiser's ability to improve ROI, further minimizing waste and uncertainty.

We were first-to-market with a revolutionary Pay-Per-Call offering - connecting businesses with or without a web presence, with targeted Internet-based leads. MIVA was the first to offer private label solutions to large publishing partners looking to offer a performance advertising solution under their own brand.

At IndiaIdeas we believe that the Internet is a powerful medium that will very soon graduate from being an engaging pastime to an indispensable and ubiquitous home tool, bringing with it, for consumers like us enormous benefits and convenience.

Take, for example, the monthly chore of paying bills - starting right from receiving them, sorting them, remembering to pay them on time, writing out the cheques, standing in queues and paying them, storing the receipts and finally toting up the amounts to figure just how much of our salary has been spent. And well, do we know if all your bills have been received and paid? Or are we running up late payment charges, penalties, or possible discontinuation of facilities?

BillDesk was created with a vision of simplifying this very process. With a vision of creating a one-stop destination through which we could make all our payments, at one time, from one location - or better still anytime from any location. A one single destination that keeps track of our bills, informs us of due dates, eliminates the hassle of writing out cheques and standing in queues and gives us the freedom and the ability to pay with just one instruction to our bank.

At BillDesk we are committed to this vision of implementing innovative solutions for simplifying payments and collections and translating the opportunities offered by the Internet into actual customer delight through efficient payment and collection services.

We do recognise that for bill payment to become a convenient online experience, customers must be motivated to make the transition to an online relationship on the strength of an inspiring experience. To this end, BillDesk is focused on providing a compelling value-add service that will simplify bill payment and management for the advantage of customers, deliver on reliability, efficiency and performance and most importantly provide a secure zone where customers like us can transact with the confidence that that our transactions are being managed by people who care; by people who understand and respect our privacy; by people who are constantly delivering on quality and excellence.
