Nickelodeon Suites Resort Upgrades To Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi Solution From PowerCloud Systems - Wireless Innovator Quickly Enables High-Performance Connectivity For Thousands Of TVs And Mobile Devices For Parents & Kids
PowerCloud Systems, a pioneer in cloud-powered networking for businesses supporting connected mobile guests, has today (Thursday 30th May 2013) announced the Nickelodeon Hotel news in the follow press release, from PRNewswire, that Nickelodeon Suites Resort (also known as the Nick Hotel), an Orlando-based hotel designed to feature themes from the world famous kids' television network, including "SpongeBob SquarePants", "Dora the Explorer", and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", has deployed hundreds of PowerCloud Access Points (APs) to deliver wireless connectivity to its rooms, Wi-Fi enabled televisions and thousands of guests. Working closely with Smart Hospitality, a California-based managed services partner, Nickelodeon Suites chose PowerCloud Systems' solution for their challenging wireless environment to dramatically increase network performance, deliver reliable client connectivity and reduce the total cost of delivering Wi-Fi as a service to its guests:
Nickelodeon Suites Resort Upgrades to Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi Solution from PowerCloud Systems
Wireless Innovator Quickly Enables High-Performance Connectivity for Thousands of TVs, and Mobile Devices for Parents & Kids
PALO ALTO, Calif., May 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PowerCloud™ Systems, a pioneer in cloud-powered networking for businesses supporting connected mobile guests, today announced that Nickelodeon Suites Resort, an Orlando-based hotel designed to feature themes from the eponymous children's TV network, has deployed hundreds of PowerCloud Access Points (APs) to deliver wireless connectivity to its rooms, Wi-Fi enabled televisions and thousands of guests. Working closely with Smart Hospitality, a California-based managed services partner, Nickelodeon Suites chose PowerCloud Systems' solution for their challenging wireless environment to dramatically increase network performance, deliver reliable client connectivity and reduce the total cost of delivering Wi-Fi as a service to its guests.

"We've been extremely pleased with the Wi-Fi solution from PowerCloud," said Rodney Boudreaux , Director of IT at Nickelodeon Suites Resort. "It has delivered reliable, enterprise-class coverage for our entire property. In fact, PowerCloud is the only solution we're aware of that could meet all of our performance, manageability, and budgetary goals."
"The Nickelodeon Suites deployment highlights the reliability and the ease of deploying and managing the PowerCloud solution. Not only were 222 APs installed in less than one week, the upgrade was completed while the hotel was fully occupied and with zero distractions to guests," said Jeff Abramowitz , founder and CEO of PowerCloud Systems. "What's more, the hotel's IT staff was quickly able to monitor and manage the entire network using our CloudCommand™ platform to ensure that guests are having a good connected experience."
PowerCloud Systems specializes in delivering enterprise-class Wi-Fi-as-a-Service using the cloud to deliver network intelligence, security and control to a network of APs without the need for an expensive, on-site controller. Not only does this reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for an enterprise-class Wi-Fi network, it vastly speeds deployment, since PowerCloud's APs require zero-touch configuration and management.
This was particularly relevant for the Nickelodeon Suites deployment. One of the most popular amenities of the hotel are Smart Hospitality's multiple wireless-connected Set-Top Boxes (STBs) in every suite. As adults and children are bringing an increasing number of connected mobile devices, a robust Wi-Fi network was also a must. With PowerCloud's "zero-touch" deployment capabilities, Smart Hospitality was able to ship APs directly to the resort. No on-site configuration was required other than the simple task of plugging them in via the existing Ethernet connection.
From their offices in California, the deployment team at Smart Hospitality used CloudCommand to register the APs for security, enter in the global configuration for the network, assign names and locations, and then remotely direct the installers as to where to place them. The configurations were preset – when the installer plugged the AP in to the network at the hotel, the access point immediately 'phoned home' via the cloud, downloaded the provisioning protocols and security settings, and began broadcasting.
"The Nickelodeon Wi-Fi network requirements are among the most challenging we've seen. They require broad coverage and connectivity to a large number of STBs, as well as connected devices for both parents and kids. The PowerCloud solution was incredibly simple to deploy, and has provided stable and reliable connectivity from day one," said Jeffrey Lawton , President of Smart Hospitality. "In addition, PowerCloud's CloudCommand platform gives us unprecedented visibility and control over all the nodes in the network, making remote management a snap."

Nickelodeon Star Ariana Grande Wears Jovani 72719 To Billboard Music Awards 2013
Jovani Fashions, a designer of celebrity dresses, has mentioned in their latest press release, below from PRNewswire, that Nickelodeon Star Ariana Grande, who plays Cat Valentine in the popular Nick sitcoms "Victorious" and "Sam & Cat", recently wore Jovani 72719, a short dress in black which perfectly encapsulates everything that makes Jovani fashion house famous, to the Billboard Music Awards 2013, which were held on Sunday 19th May 2013, where she wore and showcased the dress on the red carpet and on stage while presenting the live show before one of Justin Bieber's performances!

Celebrity Dresses by Jovani Bring Panache to the Red Carpet
Adorning international celebrities and up-and-comers alike, the Jovani fashion house continues to make its mark on the fashion world.
LOS ANGELES, May 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The savvy fashionista can spot a Jovani gown anywhere; from party and prom gowns to wedding dresses, the fashion house has been a consistent staple in fun, flirty, and extravagant designs that make women feel gorgeous and ready for anything. In a similar vein, Jovani's couture designs and celebrity prom dresses have cropped up on red carpets around the globe. Here are four (technically five) appearances just from the past month alone of some of Jovani's favorite unique prom dresses and runway gowns.
The first look was at the Billboard Music Awards, which aired on ABC. Presenting before one of Justin Bieber's performances and appearing on the red carpet was Ariana Grande . The Nickelodeon star and RIAA Gold-certified singer looked fresh and fashionable in Jovani 72719. The gorgeous short dress in black perfectly encapsulates everything that women love about the Jovani fashion house; it's flirty and glittering, revealing enough to feel feminine without taking it to a vulgar place. Of course, Ariana brought out the dress' playfulness in true style by girlishly showing off the skirt's fullness.
The same night of the awards was the finale of this season's Nuestra Belleza Latina on Univision. First season winner and current Sabado Gigante star, Alejandra Espinoza rocked a Jovani gown on the red carpet. The couture gown, Jovani 157974, was glittery—reflective of the current Great Gatsby-inspired Art Deco trend—and form-fitting. She truly looked spectacular and confident in the tan-colored, made-to-order design; the perfect gown for the occasion.
Across the globe, the same Jovani gown made an appearance twice at the British Soap Awards. Jovani style 762, a floor-length and sleeveless jersey dress, looked equally lovely on two soap stars, Lucy Pargeter and Claire Cooper. The women were incredibly good-natured about wearing the same gown. After all, it doesn't really matter if the two look and feel amazing in the black dress with sheer paneling. It's no surprise, either, that the two selected the gown independently; Jovani 762 is one of the fashion house's top ten styles and has incredible popularity in America as a prom dress.
Finally, Oana Gregory of Crash & Bernstein on Disney XD wore Jovani 6738 to a recent award show. On the red carpet of the Radio Disney Music Awards, Ms. Gregory looked adorable in the pink and girlish ensemble. Also available in black, this party dress is well-liked for its smart and feminine use of lace and nude-colored tulle underlay skirt that gives it an extra bit of vibrancy. The look was paired perfectly by Oana with nude pumps and gold accessories that look just as bright as the young actress' future.
To learn more about which celebrities are rocking the hottest Jovani creations, take a look at the celebrity dresses page on www.jovani.com. Jovani also has incredibly active Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter feeds, all @jovanifashions.

Australian Learning Program Literacy Planet Inks Deal With Nickelodeon UK And Nickelodeon Australia
The International News Magazine is reporting the Nickelodeon International news in the following article that Literacy Planet, an online learning resource based in Australia's Gold Coast which offers an interactive and fun learning program to assist in childhood literacy development, has announced a partnership with Nickelodeon UK and Nickelodeon Australia:
Gold Coast company taps into Asian market
Brisbane 30 May 2013. A small Gold Coast company is taking online English language skills to more than 65,000 students across the globe after securing several Asian distribution deals.
Minister for Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts Ian Walker said Literacy Planet was a real Queensland success story.
“It’s amazing to think the work of a start-up company based at Varsity Lakes is now being used by students around the world,” Mr Walker said.
“A lot of companies struggle to find investment dollars, but Literacy Planet founder and Executive Director Shane Davis along with CEO Chris Roberts, have raised more than $5 million in private equity through Ellerston Capital and MAP Capital Advisors.
“That is a remarkable achievement and shows what can be achieved when you innovate.”
Literacy Planet provides an online education application teaching English literacy to primary school children, including about 20,000 students in Queensland.
Mr Walker said the company had also recently announced it had struck a deal with FrogAsia, a virtual learning environment used by all Malaysian government schools.
“Through a partnership with MAP Capital Advisors, the company is also distributing its package into government schools in the Philippines,” he said.
Literacy Planet founder Shane Davis said the company hoped to expand even further in the future, after entering into a partnership with Nickelodeon UK and Australia.
“This will open up significant opportunities in Britain. We are also exploring the Chinese market,” Mr Davis said.

Nickelodeon USA Draws Nearly 4 Million Viewers To "Sanjay And Craig" Animated Series Debut
Nickelodeon, one of the world's leading entertainment brands for kids and families, has announced, in the following press release from TVbytheNumbers, the Nickelodeon News that Nickelodeon's newest original animated series (Nicktoon) "Sanjay and Craig" tallied 3.6 million total viewers for its Saturday 24th May 2013 premiere on Nick USA, driving double-digit gains with kids 2-11 and kids 6-11 and ranking as the number-two kids' program on all TV for the week—second only to top-ranked "SpongeBob SquarePants"! "Sanjay and Craig", which follows the misadventures of a 12-year-old boy and his best friend—a talking snake—earned a 6.0/2.0 Million kids 2-11 (up +22% over last year) and a 6.4/1.3 million kids 6-11 (up +31). Meanwhile, ever popular "SpongeBob SquarePants" was number one with kids 2-11 (6.9/2.3 million, up +33%) and kids 6-11 (6.8/1.3 million, up +36%) for the week, as well as being the month's overall top animated program among kids across all TV.
"Sanjay and Craig", produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios, follows the adventures of Sanjay, an excitable and irreverent 12-year-old boy (Maulik Pancholy, "30 Rock") and Craig, a smooth-talking snake and master of disguise (Chris Hardwick, Nerdist, "The Talking Dead"). Together, they embark on epic kid-inspired quests that are at times totally ridiculous, absolutely gross and weirdly sweet. The only thing that stands in their way is their unhinged, snake-phobic neighbor, Mr. Noodman (Tony Hale, "Arrested Development"), who's always on the verge of figuring out that Craig can talk. Additional voice actors include Linda Cardellini ("Freaks and Geeks") as Megan; Matt Jones ("Breaking Bad") as Hector and Kunal Nayyar ("The Big Bang Theory") as Vijay. The series joins Nickelodeon's hit Saturday morning animation lineup, airing regularly at 10:30 a.m. ET/PT.

Former Viacom Executive Chris Linn Joins TruTV As Programming Head
The entertainment news website C21Media is reporting the Nickelodeon Employee news in the following article that the US cable network TruTV has hired a senior executive from MTV as its president and head of programming, triggering a reshuffle in MTV's unscripted division.
Chris Linn, previously executive Vice President (VP) of programming and head of production at MTV, is joining Turner-owned TruTV to head all programming on the network, including the development and production of original series. He will replace executive VP and chief operating officer Marc Juris, whose departure was announced earlier this month (May 2013) after spending nearly 10 years with the channel.
Linn joined MTV in 2004 and was promoted to his most recent position in 2010. During that time he helped to develop and produce hits including the American reality television series "Jersey Shore" and its successful spin-off Snooki & JWOW. More recently, he led the team that developed the television series version of the reality-based docudrama television series "Catfish", "Catfish: The TV Show".
Prior to that he held various positions at Nickelodeon including a stint as general manager (GM) of the Nickelodeon Digital Animation Studio in New York. He has also previously been VP of production the Viacom owned general entertainment cablenet, Spike TV.
Linn will be based in New York, reporting to president of Turner Entertainment Networks Steve Koonin.
His departure has prompted a restructure of MTV's unscripted programming team. Lauren Dolgen, a 16-year company veteran, has been promoted to head of West Coast reality programming and executive VP of series development. She will oversee the development of all reality series in the region while overseeing current hits such as "Teen Mom". Kimberly Rach, formerly senior VP of West Coast production, and Andrew Portnoy, who has held the same role on the East Coast since 2010, are now co-heads of production, splitting production responsibilities for all of MTV’s programming on both US seaboards. All three report to MTV programming president Susanne Daniels:

MTV unscripted exec joins TruTV
US cablenet TruTV has hired a senior executive from MTV as its president and head of programming, triggering a reshuffle in MTV’s unscripted division.
Chris Linn, previously executive VP of programming and head of production at MTV, is joining Turner-owned TruTV to head all programming on the network, including the development and production of original series.
He will replace executive VP and chief operating officer Marc Juris, whose departure was announced earlier this month after nearly 10 years with the channel.
Linn joined MTV in 2004 and was promoted to his most recent position in 2010. During that time he helped to develop and produce hits including Jersey Shore and its successful spin-off Snooki & JWOW. More recently, he led the team that developed the television series version of Catfish.
Prior to that he held various positions at Nickelodeon including a stint as general manager of the Nickelodeon Digital Animation Studio in New York. He has also previously been VP of production at another cablenet, Spike TV.
Linn will be based in New York, reporting to president of Turner Entertainment Networks Steve Koonin.
His departure has prompted a restructure of MTV’s unscripted programming team.

Germany's Super RTL Inks Deal With DreamWorks; Pact Includes Exclusive Access To DreamWorks Animation’s TV Series
The entertainment news website C21Media is reporting the German television industry news in the following article that the German kids and family channel Super RTL has signed a multi-year output deal with DreamWorks Animation as it prepares for the end of its existing agreement with Disney. The new pact gives Super RTL exclusive access to DreamWorks Animation's television series – often spin-offs from DreamWorks' high-profile movies – for the next five years, as well as the chance to license the series until 2020. It is currently unclear whether the deal also includes the popular animated Nickelodeon series (Nicktoons) "Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness" and "The Penguins of Madagascar", which Nickelodeon Productions co-produces with DreamWorks Animation, as both Nick shows currently air on Nickelodeon Germany (Deutschland; "The Penguins of Madagascar" as "Die Pinguine aus Madagascar"):
Super RTL links with DreamWorks
German kids and family channel Super RTL has signed a multi-year output deal with DreamWorks Animation as it prepares for the end of its existing agreement with Disney.
The new pact gives Super RTL exclusive access to DreamWorks Animation’s television series – often spin-offs from high-profile feature films – for the next five years, as well as the chance to license the series until 2020.
TV shows produced by DreamWorks include Dragons: Riders of Berk for Cartoon Network, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness for Nickelodeon and the Netflix series Turbo: Fast, based on the upcoming feature film of the same name.
Last July, the firm paid US$155m for Classic Media, a move that gave it ownership of brands such as Casper the Friendly Ghost, Lassie and Noddy. It is also getting closer to launching its own kids’ television channel in the US with Fox.
The content agreement between Super RTL and Disney, which accounts for about 30% of its schedule, is due to expire on December 31. Disney holds a 50% share in the channel but it remains unclear if it will relinquish this.
In January 2014, Disney Channel Germany, an ad-supported free-to-air rival to Super RTL, will go live with a mix of local productions, acquired content and feature films targeting children and families.
Since Disney acquired Das Vierte in September last year, Super RTL has increased its library of third-party acquisitions, partly through a deal with 9 Story Entertainment.

Profile Of The Rise Of SpongeBob SquarePants' Popularity In Egypt
In the following article, the British national daily newspaper The Guardian takes a look at the rising popularity of Nickelodeon's hit original animated series (Nicktoon) "SpongeBob SquarePants" in Egypt:
If there's anyone who can bring world peace and unite the world, it's SpongeBob!
How SpongeBob SquarePants became massive in EgyptThe Russian Army has also taken a shine to Nickelodeon Superstar SpongeBob SquarePants - a recent video shows soldiers marching to the SpongeBob theme tune:
The cartoon marine sponge is soaking up his newfound fame in Egypt – appearing on everything from hijabs to boxer shorts
Stroll the streets of central Cairo today, and two faces stand out. The first is a symbol of resistance; Jika, a teenage protester shot dead late last year, whose likeness has been repeatedly stencilled across the walls of the city centre.

The second is rather less revolutionary. It belongs to SpongeBob SquarePants. The fictional marine sponge, historically found on kids' cartoon channel Nickelodeon, is now the ubiquitous face of Egyptian [merchandise] – printed on everything from hijabs to boxer shorts, complete with spelling mistakes. (In Egypt, where western Bs are often confused with Ps, SpongeBob sometimes becomes a variant of SpongePop.) Name [an item], and chances are that someone in Egypt can sell you a Spongified version.
His appearances have become so frequent that a blog – SpongeBob on the Nile – now documents his Egyptian adventures. Vice magazine was even forced to ponder: "Is SpongeBob SquarePants the New Che Guevara?".
The explosion started about a year ago, SpongeBob on the Nile's co-founder reckons. "I remember coming back in June 2012," says Elisabeth Jaquette, a longtime Cairo resident who had returned from a year in America, "and walking through Tahrir Square, where you used to see T-shirts that said 'Egypt' and 'Revolution'. But that June, half the T-shirts were just SpongeBob."
Soon the craze spread to other wardrobe items. "Men would ask me for SpongeBob boxer shorts," says stallholder Yasser Abdel Moneim. To meet demand, Abdel Moneim now sells three different SpongeBob pant designs – sourced from China – including one that overlays the sponge with the unlikely logo of Calvin Klein. "It's still the thing that sells out first."
Egypt is not the only country to have taken to SpongeBob. Jaquette's blog memorably shows someone celebrating the Libyan revolution dressed as SpongeBob. But Jaquette argues: "People are reproducing it in ways that are very distinctly Egyptian; there are traditional hand puppets that have SpongeBob on them, tissue-box covers –– a very Egyptian thing – with SpongeBob designs."
How this all started, no one really knows. SpongeBob is shown on a private Egyptian channel, but most won't have watched much of it. Whatever Vice's headline implied, SpongeBob doesn't have any political resonance. One theory is that SpongeBob's success is symptomatic of the way that urban space has changed in Egypt since the 2011 uprising. After the revolution, a breakdown in law and order made it easier for street traders to set up shop in city centres – a phenomenon that may have led to higher sales of Spongebob tat.
Jaquette, however, isn't convinced. There may have been fewer vendors before the revolution, she says, "but there has always been one shirt or other that has been popular". For now, SpongeBob's presence is everywhere – but it may not be for ever. At the height of his popularity, Tahrir vendor Mostafa Hamed sold 30 SpongeBobs a week. But this week? Just three.
If there's anyone who can bring world peace and unite the world, it's SpongeBob!

Exclusive interview with Peter Andre
Peter Andre is the ambassador of the Fruit Shoot Nickelodeon Skills Tour which will be starting this summer. Peter says about the tour: “As a dad of young kids, I know how much fun they have trying out different things and learning new skills so I’m delighted to be part of The Fruit Shoot Get Your Skills on Campaign.”
We caught up with the talented star and loving father to find out more about this fantastic tour for kids.
Hi Peter! So, Nickelodeon has teamed up with ‘Fruit Shoot Get Your Skills On Campaign’- Could you tell us a little more about this?
It’s trying to encourage kids and parents to get their kids to do this to start learning skills. Once they’ve learnt the skills they have got their confidence. A lot of the time kids are indoors playing on gadgets. It happens to me with my children, I know exactly what it’s like, and you think to yourself, “How do I get my children outdoors learning something new when the weather isn’t great?” So this is a tour going around the country teaching these kids skills and encouraging them to be active. There is a micro site which you can upload your own skills, and there will be kids that will be confident to do this, others kids won’t be, hence why it’s good for them to go and show what they can do to build that confidence. It’s a big campaign and it’s a great campaign and it kicks off for half-term. So I think a lot of parents should get their kids involved in this.
You have been chosen to front the campaign - Are you passionate about children keeping fit and active?
Yes I am. The thing is, technology has taken over. What is considered as keeping fit sometimes is playing tennis on your Wii, which is cool, but get a kid in a tennis court, they are out in fresh air, socialising, it’s a real fitness. There isn’t anything wrong with technology, but I think to get the kids out and give them the confidence to let them learn things is a brilliant idea.
What tips have you got for parents who are unsure of how to get their children started in sports and activities?
The first thing they can do is go to www.fruitshoot.co.uk, they will see all the videos other people have uploaded with their skills, and to see other kids doing these skills, it’s more than likely they are going to want to get involved.
What advice could you give parents who want to keep their children active but want to keep it entertaining and diverse?
The lucky thing we have got with technology is that you can type in 'activities for kids' on the internet and get a huge list of ideas. I think this tour ‘Fruit Shoot Get Your Skills On Campaign’ is a great thing for the kids to go to over the summer.
When you were a child, what did you do to allow yourself to keep fit but still maintaining the element of fun?
Well I was really skinny in school and I use to get picked on in Australia for being skinny and having curly hair. So all the Aussie guys were surfing and I couldn’t surf. So I went to the gym, but I couldn’t do the weights either. So I would do sit-ups for a full hour. So I would say to my brothers, “You reckon I’ll get abs by the time I’m 16?” and sure enough I was ripped, so then I started on the weights. I did a little Kung Fu and Bruce Lee got me interested in this. I just loved how cool he was and how guys wanted to be like him. He was disciplined, focused and humble.
How do you try and ensure that your children stay active?
First thing they do when they get home from school is their homework, then they get to be social for an hour, whether that be outside or inside drawing. Then they have an hour between then to dinner to use technology to play games. On the weekends we always try and do something. The first thing is to bake cakes, and then we go out and do an activity for the day. There are lots of things to do like rock climbing. That’s why I love this campaign because it’s not about getting kids out. They are learning new skills and it gives them a whole new thing that they want to keep practising. It’s also a responsibility of parents to ensure that their kids are keeping fit and active.
The kids can meet with the ‘Fruit Shoot Skills Crew’- What do the ‘Skills Crew’ offer for the kids?
They offer to teach them the skills. I mean what a great thing, one on one. Imagine a guy teaching you how to spin a basketball on your finger or learning how to beat box. I mean, I’d love to learn, let alone the kids! This is why it’s cool for the parents to take them because they will be just as fascinated as the kids.
Nickelodeon will be there to capture the kids performing their skills. The videos will have the chance to be shortlisted for the ‘Fruit Shoot Breakthrough Award.’ What do you think the judges will be looking for?
Well I think the judges should be looking for talent, confidence and skill. Don’t forget, some of the kids don’t have the confidence until they get through. Really, what I hope they are looking for is their skills and their presentation, but confidence comes with it. If you go out confident from the start then this will help. But the confidence will come if you get through as well.
When should we expect the skills awards to take place?
It will be later this year at the O2 Arena and that is going to be great. It’s a big campaign and I think it will be great for people to give it a shot. They will be impressed.
As well as fronting the 'Fruit Shoot Get Your Skills On Campaign' what else is on the agenda for you?
I’m doing my reality show, ‘Peter Andre: My Life’, the 60-minute make-over show which will be back on ITV and they have kindly asked me to be the presenter. So I have got a lot of things lined up, it’s going to be great.
