Elephant Talk Communications Corp. (NYSE MKT: ETAK) is a leading international provider of mobile networking software and services. The company serves the needs of several of the world’s leading mobile network operators (MNOs) and technology firms – including Vodafone (NASDAQ: VOD), T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS), Zain, HP (NYSE: HPQ) and Affirmed Networks – with a comprehensive suite of applications, reliable industry expertise and high quality customer service. Elephant Talk also counts a host of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), enablers (MVNEs) and aggregators (MVNAs) among its customers and partners, effectively empowering global telecommunications while helping emerging players in the telecommunications industry gain a significant competitive advantage without the need for a substantial upfront investment.

With the rapid evolution of technology, the infrastructure in use by most MNOs is quickly left in the dust. The costs associated with operating and maintaining sizable network infrastructure make leading telecommunications firms think twice before adopting critical new technologies. Elephant Talk addresses legacy infrastructure challenges with its virtualized, software-based platforms. Its ET Software DNA® 2.0 platform, for example, can fundamentally change the business of an MNO or MVNO by offering significantly decreased operational costs. When combined with the ability to dramatically reduce time-to-market and improve scalability, the ET Platform helps emerging operators generate results faster than ever before at margins that support continued growth.

To fully understand the benefits of Elephant Talk’s innovative solutions for MNOs, one needs to understand how the telecommunications industry functions. In the United States, MNOs such as Verizon (NYSE: VZ), AT&T (NYSE: T) and Sprint (NYSE: S) maintain expansive nationwide networks offering service to millions of individuals. However, these networks offer more capacity than is used by the MNOs’ subscriber base. In order to more effectively leverage the capacity of an MNO network, these firms allow MVNOs to purchase excess capacity for use at wholesale rates. Some examples of MVNOs in the U.S. include Boost Mobile, which uses Sprint’s host network, and Cricket Wireless, which uses AT&T’s host network.

For new players in the telecommunications space, the costs associated with setting up a mobile network are staggering. Operating as an MVNO lowers this sizable barrier to entry, providing advantages for both MVNOs and MNOs along the way. Elephant Talk enables MNOs to create, manage and secure entire mobile networks and offer a fully equipped wholesale mobile cloud. The company’s modular system is safer, cheaper, easier to manage, more reliable and more secure than existing legacy systems. It also drives average revenue per user by offering a greater range of services, cost efficiencies and increased engagement with customers.

As an innovative MVNE, Elephant Talk also connects MVNOs to MNOs, allowing virtual network operators to offer a full suite of mobile voice, SMS and data services. The company’s technology gives MVNOs full control of their entire IT systems and network infrastructure through an intuitive cloud-based infrastructure, enabling potential cost savings of up to 90 percent and significant time-to-market advantages.

Elephant Talk empowers MVNOs and MNOs by providing a patented cloud-based mobile communications infrastructure, operating software and managed services. With a large list of clients including some of the telecommunications industry’s biggest names, the company is well positioned to build on its progress in the industry while promoting sustainable growth in the months to come.

In a previous post, we wrote the innovative RUBICON™ solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) “is constructed of all solid components.” We would like to correct that statement to say that the RUBICON™ is designed to be constructed of all solid components. Also, it’s important to note that the SOFC technology can be more complex than that simple description suggests. This article clarifies the earlier statement while also giving more details on the technology and its potential.

The innovative RUBICON™ solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC), designed by Dominovas Energy Corporation (OTCQB: DNRG), is a modular SOFC system that operates at high temperatures (800°C) and has a number of advantages. First, the RUBICON™ employs an electrochemical conversion process for power generation, which is significantly more efficient than combustion based technologies. Second, the RUBICON™ is fuel flexible and capable of reforming multiple fuels, such as natural gas, propane, LPG, diesel, landfill gas and flare gas.

Coffee shop chains’ hot and iced coffee, macchiato, espresso, cappuccino and latte beverages are often the caffeine fix on-the-go consumers reach for. How often, however, do we think about the amount of sugar each beverage contains? Content Checked Holdings, Inc.’s (OTCQB: CNCK) family of mobile applications is designed for individuals with specific dietary requirements or those looking to avoid certain ingredients.

The SugarChecked app gives consumers the ability to scan the barcodes of grocery store products and identifies if the product contains one of four types of sugar, including added sugars, artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols or natural low-calorie sweeteners. High sugar intake is the main catalyst for diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the largest health-related cost in the country and affects 97 million people who are at risk of developing, or have already developed, this debilitating disease. The estimated lifetime cost for a U.S. resident with diabetes is about $283,000. That is the highest lifetime health care cost for any patient group in the world.

As part of a healthy, balanced diet, you should consume fewer foods and drinks that are high in added sugars. Sugary foods and drinks can cause tooth decay, especially if you have them between meals. Many foods that contain added sugars are also calorically-dense, but they typically contain few other nutrients. Eating these foods often can contribute to unnecessary weight gain, and being overweight can increase your risk of metabolic disease conditions, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer. Added sugars shouldn’t make up more than 10 percent of your daily total calorie intake, or about 30 grams of sugar a day for most teens and adults.

Education and awareness are key. Content Checked is spearheading this movement via its family of mobile apps and going beyond the label.

Earlier this year, Alternet Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: ALYI) launched its Data Analytics Division. At that time, Henryk Dabrowski, CEO of Alternet Systems, stated, “Alternet has a successful history of developing and commercializing young digital commerce technologies. We are now building upon that history to develop and commercialize an expanded portfolio of new key technologies in the burgeoning big data analytics sector. We quietly started the expansion last year after the successful sale of our mobile wallet solution. We anticipate our new Data Analytics Division to build upon the revenue base we established in 2015 from our digital commerce operations throughout the course of 2016.”

Big Data, or data analytics, refers to the growing practice of using the data from all available sources, which can come in a variety of formats, to uncover individual and group behavior. A report (http://dtn.fm/Y7Rl1) published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) gives details on a global survey of over 300 executives from companies with over US$500 million in annual revenue (with half of them reporting US$1bn or more) on their data analytics practices. The survey found that companies are moving beyond first-generation big data applications based on internal assets and are reporting considerable success with innovative market-facing initiatives that use a wide range of transactional and external data. Competitor-focused initiatives are given the highest priority, with customer- and operations-focused measures comprising a significant number of initiatives.

The survey also found that the biggest technical challenge was the need to identify and integrate multiple data types from both internal and external sources. When it comes to internal challenges within an enterprise, data and analytics silos stand out, largely because market-facing advanced analytics initiatives tend to be driven by individual lines of business. A data silo is a separate database or set of data files. Despite these challenges, executives overwhelmingly rate these advanced analytics initiatives as successful and point to multiple simultaneous benefits. This broad success is driving continued innovation and experimentation, with technical challenges seen as minor obstacles compared with the need to select the right initiative and the right team.

In the early days of data analytics, companies mostly focused on internal initiatives, such as operating efficiencies, but with increased computational power and new data sources, they are experimenting with ‘offensive moves’. Proactive price optimization stands out as the most common market-facing data analytics initiative.

A full research report (http://dtn.fm/ue9AC) on Alternet Systems by Caprock Research, commissioned by Wall Street Corner, published February 2, 2016, estimates the data analytics market at $125 billion in 2015. The ‘analytics-as-a-service’ segment of this market is expected to grow from $4.2 billion in 2015, by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40 percent, to $23 billion in 2020.

Alternet Systems is on a mission to provide innovative solutions that facilitate and expedite commerce by enhancing customer experience and improving efficiency. Data analytics is just one of three high-growth markets in which the company plans to invest. The two others are financial technology and payment technology.

Earlier today, Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: OGES) announced a partnership with Minnesota-based Freedom Trucking through which the company will develop and supply batteries to power fully electric interstate trucks. Prior to this agreement, Freedom Trucking spent the past five years working with Ohio State University scientists and other parties in order to develop a groundbreaking, fully electric interstate truck propulsion system that’s expected to enable trucks with a gross vehicle weight of up to 80,000 pounds to travel more than 400 miles on a single charge. However, the product’s development and testing has thus far been hampered by poor quality Chinese batteries.

Beginning in the second half of this year, Freedom Trucking will look to leverage Oakridge’s innovative, ‘Made in the USA’ battery systems in order to move product from Chicago to Minneapolis. Following implementation, the fully electric trucks are expected to provide cost savings in excess of $0.60 per mile, as compared to trucks powered by traditional diesel fuel, according to an initial analysis performed by the U.S. Department of Transportation. These savings are expected to revolutionize the economics of the interstate trucking business in the United States.

“The custom battery design for Freedom Trucking is an absolute game changer,” Steve Barber, executive chairman and chief executive officer of Oakridge, stated in the news release. “With our new custom battery systems, we have now greatly expanded the effective range of the electric truck, now making them a practical reality for immediate application to the interstate trucking business, while at the same time providing a much safer, low maintenance vehicle by virtue of the more robust chemistry and the battery management systems we have designed for this product.”

Since entering into full scale production on January 4, 2016, Oakridge has wasted no time in establishing a sizable presence in the stored energy industry. Last month, the company announced an agreement with Maritime Tactical Systems, Inc. (MARTAC) to provide battery systems for its Man-Portable Tactical Autonomous Systems (MANTAS), and, earlier this week, Oakridge announced that field trials of the MANTAS (powered by custom-tailored Oakridge technology) for a major defense contractor were a huge success. As it continues to meet and exceed expectations with its high-quality energy storage products, Oakridge appears to be primed for tremendous growth in the months to come.

“We at Oakridge are continuing our mission to onshore manufacturing back to the U.S. and this is a really big win for all of us,” continued Barber. “This is a tremendous win for everyone in the USA.”

Part of what makes Star Mountain Resources, Inc. (OTC: SMRS) successful is its strong business model of acquiring and consolidating mining assets with high growth potential. The junior exploration and mining company focuses on base metal and precious metal mining. Star Mountain Resources plans on continuously searching out and obtaining these mines with expectations of high returns for both the company and its investors. The company also aims to incorporate any valuable team leaders from these ventures into its own.

Following its business model, the company acquired Northern Zinc LLC in November 2015. Along with that, Star Mountain Resources closed on the acquisition of Balmat Holding Corporation from Hudbay Minerals and gained access to the Balmat zinc mine in upstate New York. This gave the company a highly prolific mining asset while incorporating experienced mining professionals into its already seasoned board of directors and management team.

For example, Don Taylor was nominated for a director role following the Northern Zinc acquisition. He brought over thirty years’ experience in domestic and international mining explorations, project evaluations, reserve calculations, and mining development to Star Mountain Resources. Since June 2015, Taylor has been the president and a board member of Arizona Mining, Inc., a Canadian mineral exploration company.

Not only has the Balmat zinc venture brought a new member to the Star Mountain Resources team, but it could soon bring high profits. Zinc recently entered a bull market after production cuts tightened global supplies. The mineral increased more than 20% from a six-year low that was reached in January. The production limits will cause a deficit of 440,000 metric tons, driving up prices. Goldman Sachs predicts 12-month zinc prices at $1,800 a ton. When operations at the Balmat zinc mine begin, the company’s profits could soar as zinc prices rise.

By adhering to its sturdy business model, Star Mountain Resources will have more opportunities to obtain, manage and develop highly productive mines. So far, its acquisitions have proven themselves to be highly prolific gateways for the company and its shareholders.

A recent research report by John Ford of Equities.com states ‘GTX is the most undervalued company I have ever encountered, trading at an 85 percent discount to fair value.’ He believes ‘GTX is so undervalued right now that investors could capture near-term 6X returns as Wall Street becomes aware of this company’s fundamentals and pushes the share price towards fair valuation.’ Mr. Ford is undoubtedly excited by the company’s prospects. He laid out a number of reasons why investors should be considering GTX Corp. (OTC: GTXO).

Its present valuation offers short-term gains, since the company’s stock is trading at an 85 percent discount to fair value. Also, the company’s flagship product, GPS SmartSole, is doing exceedingly well. Its first production run completely sold out with preorders, and the company didn’t even need to advertise. The GPS SmartSole targets and is expected to capture a large share of an expansive market of $8.6 billion. In addition, the management team is strong and vibrant. CEO Patrick Bertagna is a mover and a shaker. He has established an impressive track record with six successful startups. The omens are good; GTX Corp. is his seventh.

The report identifies wearable tech as one industry that has caught the eye of the tech giants. It mentions the purchase of Oculus VR, the virtual reality tech company, by Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) in 2014 for $2 billion in cash and Facebook stock. Credit Suisse, the large Swiss bank, forecasts wearable tech ‘will be a $50 billion market in 3 to 5 years.’ Fitbit (NYSE: FIT), one wearable tech startup, had its debut in June 2015 and reported recently that sales in the quarter ending December 31, 2015, were almost double that of the comparable quarter in 2014. There was talk, last year, of a Jawbone initial public offering (IPO), but so far this has not materialized. Jawbone is valued at around $1.5 billion. The report goes on to point out that the ‘pure plays’ (stock of a company focused on one industry or product) in wearable tech are few and far between, so GTX Corp. is a rare opportunity. While most wearable tech companies are focused on the mass market, GTX Corp. has identified a niche market that is unserved, and the company is going after it vigorously.

The company’s flagship product, GPS SmartSole, is a tracker for people with cognitive disorders resulting from autism, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and traumatic brain injuries. These conditions tend to cause memory impairment and a frequent occurrence is that sufferers find themselves lost. For example, the 2013 World Alzheimer’s Report revealed that 60 percent of sufferers will become lost at least once, 70 percent of those will become lost three or more times and 46 percent of those not found within 24 hours may die. The GPS SmartSole is a high-tech shoe insole with a built-in GPS tracking chip. Using a combination of satellite and cellular technologies, it sends signals, on a continual basis, to the central GTX monitoring website, showing the wearer’s exact location. The location of a relative or patient can be monitored very easily by desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone. GPS SmartSole is accessible from both Android and iOS devices. Currently, over 100 million people worldwide require supervision and monitoring because of memory impairment.

GTX Corp. was chosen for the coveted honor of being featured in the 2015 Internet of Things web cast produced at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, and the company’s GPS SmartSole ran second to a Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) product in the Wearables, Health, Fitness & Wellness Category at the Cellular Telephone Industries Association’s (CTIA) 2015 Super Mobility Awards. A Samsung (OTC: SSLNF) product was third. GTX Corp. is keeping distinguished company. It may be worthwhile joining them, but remember, in order to throw a six, one must first roll the die.

The currently disputed Woody Island (http://dtn.fm/nIoh5) (Yongxing Dao), which is part of the Parcel archipelago that sits southeast of the southernmost point of China (the sizable island province of Hainan), occupies a commanding position in the South China Sea. Northeast of Vietnam (who also claims ownership), southwest of the Republic of China (Taiwan, which also claims ownership), and west of Manila in the Philippines, Woody Island’s strategic value to China’s expanding naval buffer zone cannot be overstated. Thus, the recently DoD-noted deployment (http://dtn.fm/sE8W4) (Feb 18) by China on Woody Island of what appear to be two batteries of eight Hongqi-9 (HQ-9) (http://dtn.fm/jCe8D) long-range (125 miles), high-altitude, surface-to-air missile systems (SAMs) is seen by many as provocative saber-rattling from an expansionist China.

At the recent U.S.-ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) summit on Feb 15 and 16, the summit’s joint statement made no bones about needing “mutual respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, equality and political independence of all nations” in the region, as well as the need for a “shared commitment to peaceful resolution of disputes.” ASEAN, which includes the Philippines and Vietnam, is also ground zero for TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) implementation, and Vietnam has already signed off on the TPP alongside Brunei, Malaysia, and Singapore.

The HQ-9 SAM batteries, which are analogous to the MIM-104 Patriot SAMs recently deployed in South Korea (http://dtn.fm/8QyjF) (Feb 13) as a response to North Korea’s nuclear test and long-range rocket launch, are just the latest of a collection of moves in recent years by China in its bid to hold sway over the South China Sea. Given that China established Sansha city local government office on Woody Island back in 2012 in order to act as a central command location for administering the entire South China Sea area, and that last November Chinese J-11 fighter jets were spotted landing on the newly-enlarged runway, this latest move is seen as the next logical step in a larger campaign by some analysts. With over 3,000 acres of construction atop reefs in the area over the preceding two years, China has been steadily pushing its naval line out beyond the coast, for geopolitical, as well as economic, ends. This move has been met by close scrutiny from the Pentagon, with defense official reports indicating that, “the U.S. continues to call on claimants to halt land reclamation, construction, and militarization of features in the South China Sea.”

The day has now arrived when the inherent strategic downside of U.S. exposure to its crippling dependence on Chinese batteries has come to the fore, particularly as it regards our military’s readiness. Amid a concerted effort by the DoD to push total consumption of renewables up to 3,000 megawatts by 2025, with around $4 billion in yearly outlays toward this end, and defense contractors like Raytheon (NYSE: RTN) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) lining up to run the ball, battery sourcing dependence on China has become a real concern. Raytheon’s VP of Technology told Forbes late last year in an interview (http://dtn.fm/bcW9j) that the key objectives of the DoD transition were for smooth and manageable service, without interruptions when the weather is disagreeable, and with an overall emphasis on off-grid, microgrid, as well as energy storage elements.

This is where a company like Oakridge Global Energy Solutions (OTCQB: OGES) really shines. As a domestic developer and producer of energy storage solutions based in Florida’s Space Coast region, OGES is an ideally-situated provider. Furthermore, the company is squarely focused on ending America’s dependence on foreign batteries by providing class-leading “Made in the USA” batteries, whose production utilizes the company’s proprietary lithium chemistry, as well as its manufacturing techniques. With product for the first half of 2016 already pre-sold under firm and indicative commitments, as well as projected 2016 sales in the neighborhood of $140 million, Oakridge Global Energy Solutions’ four-year sales projection of $1 billion annually seems well within reason.

Little wonder, what with recent news like the company’s custom battery design for Man-Portable Tactical Autonomous Systems (MANTAS) developer, Maritime Tactical Systems, Inc. (MARTAC), having seen highly successful field trials for a major defense contractor across a variety of MARTAC‘s high speed maritime vessels. President and CEO of MARTAC, Bruce Hanson, enthusiastically bragged in a recent story about how ecstatic his company was with the custom-designed OGES units for their MANTAS platforms, noting in particular how OGES took MARTAC’s spec outline to the next level, delivering systems that went above and beyond the call of duty in terms of energy density, efficiency, reliability, and longevity.

This same American-made know-how and military-grade engineering stands behind every Oakridge Global Energy Solutions product. Every battery system lives up to the same exacting standards, whether it’s the company’s Pro Series of 40Ah, 60Ah, 100Ah, and 160Ah lithium-ion phosphate (LiFePO4) units for electric golf carts and NEVs (neighborhood electric vehicles), or its Freedom Series of clean, silent, and always reliable, living space power storage units.

Since 1986, Oakridge Global Energy Solutions has been providing custom-tailored, high performance energy storage solutions right here in the United States, and it has steadfastly developed a considerable global market presence abroad as well during that time. As the threat of dependence on Chinese batteries looms ever larger, the company is becoming more and more of a national security importance due to its ability to act as a vital part of the nation’s strategic infrastructural footprint in an age of electric military vehicles, and localized microgrid storage.

Earlier today, Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CNCK), the company behind an innovative suite of mobile apps for individuals with dietary restrictions, announced a landmark partnership with Kitchology, Inc., a mobile platform offering tailored recipes to consumers with special dietary needs. Through this partnership, Content Checked will gain access to Kitchology’s groundbreaking platform, including its library of core and curated recipes for and by consumers with dietary restrictions or allergies. Additionally, Kitchology will be granted access to Content Checked’s vast database of nutritional and ingredient information, which includes data on more than 300,000 packaged foods available for sale and distribution in the United States.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Kitchology and work in tandem to offer complementary solutions to families dealing with food allergies and sensitivities,” Kris Finstad, chief executive officer of Content Checked, stated in the news release. “More than 15 million Americans suffer from food allergies, 60 million plus care about food sensitivity, so it’s important to educate consumers about what ingredients are in packaged foods, and empower them to take steps to cook sensibly.”

Prior to the execution of this partnership, the team of doctors behind Kitchology spent more than a year searching for the best supplier of in-depth, reliable nutritional data on readily available packaged food products. After months of searching, it was determined that Content Checked’s comprehensive database is the only one of its kind that meets the lofty expectations of the Kitchology team. Moving forward, Kitchology will benefit from a limited, non-exclusive and worldwide right to use, display and analyze information from Content Checked’s database in order to improve the functionality of its integrated cooking platform.

While the addition of Kitchology’s database of core recipes into Content Checked’s suite of apps will certainly expand upon the marketability of the ContentChecked, SugarChecked and MigraineChecked platforms in the months to come, perhaps the biggest advantage of this agreement relates to the company’s ability to license its nutritional data. This portion of the agreement is particularly noteworthy, because it opens an additional revenue stream and positions Content Checked to build on its recent progress as it continues to pursue strong financial growth and maximized value for shareholders ahead of the previously announced rebranding of its products, which is scheduled to take place next month.

According to data from the 5th Annual Makovsky/Kelton ‘Pulse of Online Health’ Survey (http://dtn.fm/fESp0), almost two-thirds of Americans stated that they would use a mobile app to manage health-related issues – including 47 percent who specifically indicated interest in tracking diet and nutrition via their smart devices. By licensing its data to other businesses in the nutrition-based app marketplace, Content Checked will look to increase its share of the roughly $58 billion of mobile app revenues expected to be recorded in 2016, according to data from Go-Globe (http://dtn.fm/e7YuG).

“Having access to Content Checked’s database will take our platform to the next level of functionality and give our users the most comprehensive platform to cross check ingredients in recipes for hidden allergens,” Alain Briancon, PhD, chief executive officer of Kitchology, added in the release. “With this partnership, we will leverage our assets to empower families and enhance their quality of life and safety, whether in the kitchen or on the go.”
