Telefonica launches 'Screen Fusion' connected TV set

2015-12-03 15:13:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Telefonica has announced the launch of an exclusive smart TV called 'Screen Fusion' in a bid to persuade customers to sign up to the Movistar+ pay-TV offer. The company's plans to give away TVs with access to Movistar+ were first revealed by Telefonica Spain CEO Luis Gilperez Miguel in September. At the time Gilperez said the TV would be free as long as customers continued subscribing to a Movistar+ contract. However, Telefonica has now announced that only new subscribers to the Movistar Fusion+ 300Mbps fibre service will be given a free 32-inch connected TV set, with a 40-inch set also available for EUR 120. Existing Fusion+ 300Mbps fibre subscribers will have to pay EUR 50 for the 32-inch set or EUR 170 for the 40-inch version.

Sandia National Laboratories’ Z Pulsed Power Facility, or "Z machine," a nuclear fusion research device located in Albuquerque, NM, is the most powerful x-ray generator in the world. In a collaboration among PML’s Radiation Physics Division, Artep Inc., and Sandia National Laboratories, set of 18 bent quartz crystals had their energy and sensitivity responses calibrated at NIST’s campus in MD. Curved crystals extend energy range of x rays that can be measured when emitted by Sandia’s Z machine.
