Maxim's Highly Integrated Femtocell Transceivers Simplify Compact Radio Designs

Femtocell transceivers support WCDMA and cdma2000® radio bands, accelerate time-to-market, and ease design with market-leading baseband partners.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces the MAX2550-MAX2553 femtocell transceivers for WCDMA (Bands 1 to 6 and 8 to 10) and cdma2000 (Band Class 0, 1, and 10).

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120117/SF36500LOGO)

The amount of data consumed by smartphones is rising and the increase in data transmission requires more base-station cell sites to receive and transmit the signals. With existing base-station cell sites maxed out on capacity, femtocells are becoming a fast-growing market. Carriers are also moving to femtocell transceivers that reside in a home or office and essentially provide an indoor base station to handle the cellular voice and data needs of an entire dwelling.

Service Providers Need More Compact, Less Costly Radio Designs

    --  The MAX2550-MAX2553 transceivers reduce the number of external
        components, lower operation and maintenance costs, and facilitate more
        compact radio designs for modules and stand-alone femtocell
        applications.
    --  The existing large macrocells have higher installation and maintenance
        costs.
    --  In many areas, carriers struggle with space constraints and city
        regulations when they need to install more of these macrocell base
        stations.
Proven Femtocell Expertise Ensures Reliable Products

    --  According to J. Madden, Principal Analyst with Mobile Experts, in 2011
        Maxim "was very successful in the first round of 3G femtocell designs,
        having introduced a good set of transmitter and receiver products early
        in the design cycle."*
    --  Time to market and ease of design are greatly improved by the
        MAX2550-MAX2553. They have a high level of compatibility with
        market-leading baseband providers.
Interface, Temperature, and Packaging

    --  A MAX-PHY digital interface eliminates the additional cost and space
        typically incurred with external data converters.
    --  MAX2550-MAX2553 are offered in a 7mm x 7mm TQFN package.
    --  These transceivers are rated over the -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C
        temperature range.

LG Electronics Expands Line Of High Performance Ultra-Secure Network Monitors

P Series Network Monitors Help Multi-Station Computer Environments Stretch Technology Budgets, while Increasing Security, Scalability

LAS VEGAS, May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA has expanded its line of highly efficient and ultra-secure P Series Network Monitors for Cloud Computing.  Demonstrated this week at Interop (booth 2430), LG's new Zero Client LED monitors (models N1910LZ, N2210WZ) now include 19, 21 and 23 inch class models.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110203/CG42292LOGO-d)

"LG's P Series Network Monitors enable IT directors to deliver highly secure mass computing capabilities to budget conscientious environments," said Y.K. Cho, senior vice president, LG Electronics USA's business-to-business division.  "LG made the decision to expand the line due to its success in a wide variety of enterprise, finance, healthcare and education settings.  The additional sizes will offer our customers the ability to create a more customized and comfortable cloud computing solution."

The P Series Network uses a Teradici® PCoIP® (PC-over-IP) Chipset and VMware to deliver a powerful and secure virtual computing solution.  Compared to a traditional desktop computing system, the P series allows advanced computing with greater security while reducing system-building and maintenance costs.  LED backlight technology also provides a bright and clear display to facilitate an improved computing experience for both daily office work and multimedia applications.

The LG Zero Client Monitor combined with a Teradici PCoIP Processor and VMware uses virtual computing technology to connect a server host and simultaneously redistribute its capabilities to multiple users through Internet Protocol (IP).  Workstations are instantly connected to the latest operating system and software installed on the host, eliminating the need for individual desktop updates and virus protection.*

The P Series Network Monitors offer IT managers a variety of unique features that will both improve performance and reduce costs.

    --  LED BACKLIGHT:  The LED backlight panels of the P Series provide a
        brighter and clearer display than traditional CCFL monitors, delivering
        detailed and accurate images.
    --  ULTRA SECURE:  Combined with unique USB authorization for enhanced
        system security, this virtual system makes the P Series Network Monitors
        well-suited for security-critical organizations such as corporations,
        banks, financial firms and IT companies.
    --  ZERO CLIENT FLEXIBILITY:  Zero Client supports various user types from
        the same desktop appliance such as task workers in a VMware View
        environment as well as high-performance workstation users.  With virtual
        computing via either LAN or WAN, Zero Client also utilizes existing
        enterprise servers, workstations and blade PCs.
    --  ECO-FRIENDLY FEATURES:  Zero Client and LED backlight technologies
        maximizes energy efficiency and product life while helping to reduce
        electricity consumption.  Zero Client quick-booting capabilities also
        reduce time and energy use at start-up, in addition to overall noise
        reduction through removing individual CPUs.
Technical specifications and details of the P Series Network Monitor solution can be found on LG's Website at http://www.LGsolutions.com.

* The number of users a PC will support depends on the host system capabilities as well as the applications used and the performance expectations for those applications.  Peripherals (e.g. keyboards, mice) and router sold separately. Additional software licenses for specific applications may be required for additional users and are sold separately.

Extreme Networks Tackles Growing Demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet Copper Switches in Data Centers

LAS VEGAS, May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced new 10 gigabit Ethernet (GbE) copper modules for its BlackDiamond® X8 core switch and new copper versions of its Summit® X670 Top-of-Rack fixed data center switches. The new products can be viewed at the Interop Las Vegas tradeshow, booth #1851.

The Dell'Oro Group predicts in its most recent 5 year market forecast that 10GBase-T copper switches, as a ratio of global ports shipped, will become the primary choice for cloud and data center network upgrades in the next two years. Extreme Networks new high density copper switches are optimized to take advantage of servers based on the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 Family and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) LAN on motherboard (LOM)  devices.

"Investment protection is critical to new data center operators," said Huy Nguyen, senior director of product management at Extreme Networks. "Data center operators are always looking for ways to reuse cabling infrastructure, when upgrading their networks to 10 GbE.  Rip-and-replace is the last option for most data center operators. The new BlackDiamond X8 blade and Summit X670 copper switch allow data center customers to deploy the most cost-effective 10 GbE options using standard RJ45 copper jacks."

"Intel and Extreme Networksbelieve 10GBase-T copper switches will be a driver for cloud and data center upgrades because of their simplicity, backwards compatibility with one gigabit switches, and low-cost copper cabling," said Steve Schultz, director of marketing, Intel LAN Access Division. "We are committed to driving 10GbE adoption, and the new 10GBASE-T products from Extreme Networkswill help with that evolution and serve as an excellent complement to our new 10GBASE-T controller, the Intel® Ethernet Controller X540."

Driving 10 GbE's adoption in virtualized data centers has been a focus of Extreme Networkssince 2009, when the company began working with Intel on Ethernet switching for Intel server platforms; see Extreme-Intel white paper here.  The Intel® Ethernet Controller X540 is the industry's first single-chip, fully integrated 10GBASE-T controller and is designed for cost-effective, low power LOM and converged network adapters solutions. Extreme Networks offers Gigabit, 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet networking solutions for Layer 2/3 switching. These products can be used by data center and cloud operators in modular and fixed configurations.

The new Summit X670 switch will support 48-ports of wire-speed 10 GbE copper RJ45 with 40 GbE uplink capabilities and is expected to begin shipping this calendar year. The new BlackDiamond X8 copper blade will support 48-ports of wire-speed 10 GbE copper RJ45 with 384 total ports inside the chassis. In independent tests conducted in November by the Lippis Report, existing versions of the switch families were up to 10 times faster and used less half the power of other network vendors.  Wide adoption of 10GbE servers is important because it is expected to drive a new wave of 40GbE network upgrades for next generation data centers over time.

About Extreme Networks, Inc.

Participating in online communities helps marketers, managers, and entrepreneurs break through the media clutter and engage their target markets on a personal level.

Readers will learn about the tools & techniques to create effective communities online such as:

    --  How your organization can benefit from creating or participating in
        online communities.
    --  Best practices for creating a sticky, engaging online community from the
        most successful community managers.
    --  Case stories about different communities, and how they achieved success
        - creating communities with many thousands of loyal members.
    --  What it takes to effectively manage the community, from technology to
        promotional channels.
On why he wrote "Capturing Community," Silverman shared, "There are literally thousands of books available on social media and social networking, but finding information on how to build lasting online communities is an unexpected challenge for marketers. I really wanted to create the definitive resource on the 'how-to' of developing a successful business community strategy. This book focuses on exactly that."

ServiceLink Leverages Its Robust Workflow and Decisioning Solutions to Help All Mortgage Lenders Comply With HARP 2.0 Guidelines

CORAOPOLIS, Pa., May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ServiceLink, a leading end-to-end origination and default solutions provider for 15 of the top 20 mortgage lenders and servicers, has expanded the availability of its industry-leading HARP 2.0 solutions to lenders nationwide, including regional and smaller national lending institutions, which stand to benefit most from this enhanced government program.

No new-comer to the HARP process, ServiceLink has been providing both custom and standardized programs to support HARP transactions for the nation's leading financial institutions since the program's inception in 2009. To date, ServiceLink has successfully completed hundreds of thousands of HARP transactions for its customers, helping borrowers stay in their homes in the process.

In keeping with the company's customized service-based philosophy, ServiceLink provides its lender customers with a true, end-to-end solution that effectively resolves capacity issues through the use of customized workflow processes. ServiceLink carefully aligns its processes and capabilities to effectively meet its customers' unique business needs, enabling them to significantly reduce cycle times, while mitigating risk and optimizing the overall borrower experience. In order to facilitate each lender's unique business needs, HARP transactions may be submitted to ServiceLink in a variety of ways, including custom systems integration, the company's website or through leading third-party transaction platforms.

Once a lender has identified and solicited a borrower for participation in the HARP 2.0 program and assigned the loan to ServiceLink, ServiceLink then runs the loan data through its proprietary SmartConneXion(SM) iApprove platform to make informed title workflow decisions, triggering rapid production of title commitments and "clear to close" notifications. This allows ServiceLink to measure the delivery of title commitments in minutes rather than hours or days. Additionally, over 90 percent of the loan files that ServiceLink manages through this process achieve a "clear to close" title in just two days.

Through its Web-based closing solution, iClose(SM), ServiceLink then works directly with borrowers to conveniently review and execute the loan documents from virtually any location at any time. Access to real-time, face-to-face video technology further enhances the borrower experience for ServiceLink's customers.  Additionally, HARP closings leverage all of the available closing solutions, including in-home signings, in-branch signings and traditional office closings.

"As a company, ServiceLink is committed to providing lenders with the tools that they need to manage their HARP 2.0 programs more efficiently and profitably," said Chris Azur, President of ServiceLink. "We have designed our solutions to scale to market demand, and I am proud of the positive impact that we are making on behalf of our customers and their borrowers. As the HARP program continues to evolve and grow, our lender customers are well positioned to react quickly to guideline changes and further ensure compliance of their processed loans," Azur concluded.

Orbitz Jumps Into Election Year Fray and Vows to Give Americans the Vacation They Deserve with New Website Design and Ad Campaign

New TV commercial and site redesign jumpstarts a vacation movement and reflects spirit of the "travel-luster"

CHICAGO, May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With six months to election day, online travel leader Orbitz.com today said that Americans must come to grips with balancing work and vacation and said it will lead the charge to get Americans to shuck their status as the "no vacation nation," launching a redesigned website and a new advertising campaign that serves as a rallying cry for all Americans to take the vacation days they have earned and deserve.

With numerous studies documenting the physical and mental health benefits of vacation, and polls such as a Reuters/Ipsos survey showing that only 57% of U.S. workers take all their vacation time compared to 89% of workers in France, Orbitz said it had no choice but to step up and help close the vacation gap(1). "We know that election year politics makes it difficult to get things done in Washington, so we are prepared to take the lead and try to do something about this vast cultural divide to improve the lives of Americans across the country," said Chris Orton, president of Orbitz.com. "And at Orbitz, we have travel tools that make it easy for consumers to plan and book vacations that are nothing less than awesome."

Vowing not to make idle campaign promises, Orbitz today issued a TAKEITBACK 10% discount code for hotel rooms booked through May 13 to jumpstart the vacation planning movement(2).

The new ad campaign, revealed today by Orbitz, sparks the movement among Americans to take their vacations back. Orbitz also introduced a refreshed website that brings to life the tenets of the new campaign through a more colorful and vibrant look and feel. The site debuts an enhanced Orbitz logo with a rich color palate, plus a sleek, fresh and lively design that draws users in and puts the most useful travel tools and content front and center for consumers.

"With the launch of our new ad campaign, Orbitz is encouraging all travel-lusters to celebrate the joy of travel and revel in every moment of every trip," said Orton. "Vacations are fun - that's why we take them - and we want planning and booking travel to be part of the enjoyment. So, we thought it was important for the energy of the new ads to penetrate throughout the entire brand. Orbitz.com's award winning user experience has been enhanced with engaging imagery and a design that inspires the desire to travel and reminds consumers of the benefits of getting away from the daily routine."

The first commercial in the campaign, "Vacation Declaration," showcases travelers across a myriad of vacation destinations making declarations about the amazing trips they booked for a great price on Orbitz. In the spot, consumers vow to, "take their vacation days...all of them and book their next trip before this one ends." The inaugural spot will be followed up by ads that showcase how Orbitz helps travelers get more out of their trips with unique and intuitive planning tools. The Orbitz Facebook page allows travelers to endorse the movement by signing a pledge declaring the promise to take all their vacation days in 2012.

Click here to view the new TV spot.

The new advertising campaign was created by BBDO New York and will also be supported with print and online banner display ads, social media and onsite. The TV commercials will run on 20 cable networks including ESPN, E!, Food Network, Travel Channel, TNT, Weather Channel, AMC and Comedy Central among others. The ads will also air on NBC's late night shows including The Tonight Show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Last Call with Carson Daly.

TAKE YOUR VACATION BACK NOW!

Orbitz is making it easy to jump on the vacation planning campaign bandwagon, starting with the TAKEITBACK 10% discount code on hotel rooms booked by May 13, 2012. To set the mood for that perfect vacation, would-be travelers can download the Orbitz Vacation Revolution Kit, which includes a vacation countdown widget for their computer screen, a playlist of all of the hottest vacations songs on Spotify and Grooveshark, as well as a variety of fun out-of-office email messages, and more.

Halcyon Announces Systems Operations Suite v4.0 for IBM i

PETERBOROUGH, England, May 7, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Monitors Critical Business Processes, Eliminates Human Error and Reduces IT Costs

    Systems management software provider, Halcyon Software [http://halcyonsoftware.com ],
today announced a major release of its monitoring and automation solution for the IBM i
platform - Systems Operations Suite v4.0.

    Halcyon Systems Operations Suite v4.0 enables organisations to continuously monitor
critical processes and core applications running on the IBM i platform so that operations
run without disruption and business continuity is maintained. The technology also allows
System Administrators to automate all routine tasks, essential system saves and manual
check lists as well as configure appropriate responses to common issues to eliminate human
error and reduce IT costs.

    IT staff can be notified of unexpected events or problems, including security breaches
via email, mobile phone, or opt to have alerts displayed on a management dashboard, the
Enterprise Console, which is included in the software package. With the new release, IT
administrators can now access the management dashboard to remotely manage alerts through
smart phones and tablets such as iPhones, iPads and Android devices by downloading a free
"smart app" developed by Halcyon.

    Other key enhancements include an extended library of rule-based templates for
monitoring critical applications such as ERP and high availability solutions as well as
shipped examples of best practice auditing rules for managing IBM i security. This new
release also includes an automatic upgrade facility, and an "import settings" function so
that customers can easily duplicate their Halcyon environment for back up purposes or
during high availability role swaps.

    John Dominic, Vice President of Sales, said, "We recognise that System Administrators
need a quick and effective way to implement monitoring to suit their particular
application environment. The expanded set of templates for monitoring ERP, business
applications, high availability and security meets this requirement. Rules can be easily
"switched on" from day one and this provides immediate value to the business. It also
means that urgent issues with applications, processes or security breaches are immediately
flagged up and correction processes can be automated to eliminate repetitions of the same
issue. A free "smart app" written for smart phones and tablet devices increases efficiency
so that our front-end dashboard can be remotely accessed when IT staff are not at their
desk or are off site. The new automatic upgrade facility ensures that customers can
seamlessly upgrade and are always using the latest version of our software."

    Business Application Monitoring

    A Halcyon command has been created in the software for each of the commonly used ERP
applications including JD Edwards, Infor, SAP, Lawson M3 (Movex), Misys Equation and Midas
Plus as well as high availability (HA) solutions. By using the appropriate Halcyon
command, the software is populated with the relevant templates which enables users to
automate the monitoring of their business application and HA environments running on IBM i
systems. The templates can be fine-tuned and customised to suit an organisation's specific
environment.

    Security Compliance and Auditing

    Systems Operations Suite v 4.0 is shipped with more than a hundred examples of
recommendations for best practice auditing of your IBM i security. System Administrators
can simply release the rules which are grouped together into functional areas. The
software also offers real-time monitoring of the IBM i Audit Journal (QAUDJRN) for
security-related events. Users can monitor for system value and configuration changes,
authority failures, periods of inactivity, invalid sign-on attempts, specific commands as
well as user profiles that become disabled or are enabled.

    Automatic Upgrade Facility

    Systems Operations Suite v4.0 constantly monitors to check if a new version or a
higher PTF level is available for download. If a new version is available then the
software automatically upgrades the customer's Halcyon environment.

    Import Settings

    Previously, IT staff could not back up their Halcyon environment when the monitoring
software was in active use on their live environment. Using the new "Import Environment"
(IMPENV) command function, users can now replicate their current Halcyon settings to a
different IBM i system or partition - which is useful when role swaps are scheduled for
high availability purposes. This new functionality quickly and easily provides a back up
copy when the live copy of Halcyon software is in use and also helps towards achieving
business continuity goals. Administrators can also use this function to import all their
current settings if they wish to extend their licencing and create another incidence of
Halcyon on replacement or additional IBM i hardware in the future.

    Pricing and Availability

    Systems Operations Suite v4.0 is available immediately. Product pricing is tiered and
based on IBM processor groups. Current customers can upgrade free of charge. In addition,
Halcyon have published a fair pricing policy so that if customers increase the Commercial
Processing Workload (CPW) rating of their IBM hardware they will not incur software
upgrade fees giving long term reassurance on costs.

to Templates" covering all the major ERP packages and HA solutions. A free copy can be

Halcyon Announces Document Management System v3.0 for IBM i

PETERBOROUGH, England, May 7, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Ensures Reliable Archiving, Rapid Retrieval, Packaging and Distribution of Business
Information, Documents and Reports Held in Spooled Files on the IBM i System

    Systems management software provider, Halcyon Software [http://halcyonsoftware.com ],
today announced a new product - Document Management System v 3.0 for the IBM i platform.

    Document Management System v 3.0 is a comprehensive software package which ensures
reliable archiving, rapid retrieval, packaging and distribution of business information,
documents and reports held in spooled files on the IBM i system.

    Businesses can benefit by significantly reducing costs for what is traditionally a
labour intensive activity for managing, finding, re-packaging and distributing the
relevant information to users within the organisation to allow them to do their jobs
effectively. Cost efficiencies are also gained in the rapid retrieval and delivery of
information in the right format to external contacts including customers and suppliers.

    Key features include indexing of all archived files for rapid retrieval, an easy to
use web user interface requiring no specialist IBM i skills, a "sticky note" that marks
important information about a particular file that can be instantly viewed by assigned
users, and an overlay designer to customise reports and create print overlays for
invoices, orders, dispatch notes, etc. The solution also has a segmenting and bundling
feature that enables subsets of large reports to be created and distributed to pre-defined
recipient lists.

    The software performs actions on spooled files without the need for program changes
such as automatically emailing the summary page of a report or converting them into PDFs
or HTML web pages.

    John Dominic, Vice President of Sales, said, "Halcyon has made a significant
investment in the Document Management System software. We have engaged with IBM i sites to
create a business solution which offers automatic archiving, indexing and superfast
retrieval of important information. The new web-based interface modernises and simplifies
a traditionally labour intensive activity and saves significant cost."

    Document Management System v3.0 is available immediately. Product pricing is tiered
and based on IBM processor groups. Halcyon operate a fair pricing policy so that if
customers increase the Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) rating of their IBM hardware
they will not incur software upgrade fees giving long term reassurance on costs.
