AT&T Invests Nearly $925 Million in Pennsylvania From 2009 Through 2011 to Improve Local Networks

Company Builds New Cell Sites, Boosts Capacity and Adds Fiber Optics to Enhance Networks

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* invested nearly $925 million in its Pennsylvania wireless and wireline networks from 2009 through 2011 with a focus on improving the company's mobile broadband coverage and overall performance of its networks.

During 2011, AT&T made more than 2,400 wireless network upgrades in four key categories in Pennsylvania. These enhancements include:

    --  Activating more than 50 new cell sites or towers to improve network
        coverage.
    --  Deploying faster fiber-optic connections to more than 1,000 cell sites.
        Combined with HSPA+ technology, these deployments enable 4G speeds**.
    --  Adding capacity or an extra layer of frequency to cell sites - like
        adding lanes to a highway - with the addition of more than 1,150 of
        these layers, or "carriers".
    --  Upgrading nearly 200 cell sites to provide fast mobile broadband speeds.
"More than ever, we use wireless communications to stay connected with family, friends and business colleagues," said J. Michael Schweder, president, AT&T Pennsylvania. "Our ongoing private investments in our wireless network will keep our residents and businesses connected and continue to drive economic growth in the Commonwealth."

"Our goal is to deliver a network experience that mobilizes everything for customers," said Tiffany Baehman, vice president and general manager, AT&T greater Philadelphia market. "The ongoing investment we're making in Pennsylvania is designed to increase coverage and reliability, and to provide advanced services to our customers."

CNN Money recently recognized AT&T for enhancing its wireless network. Last year, AT&T completed 150,000 network enhancements across the country, more than triple the year before, giving customers more capacity and faster speeds, as well as improving 3G dropped-call performance by 25 percent.

AT&T plans to support the build or upgrade of thousands of cell sites nationwide to increase network speed, coverage and reliability for both mobile voice and broadband services. In addition, AT&T plans to install additional radio "carriers" at thousands of cell sites nationally, enabling new layers of spectrum capacity to carry larger volumes of mobile broadband traffic. Additional capacity helps support rising mobile data traffic volumes, which continue to increase at a rapid pace.

AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** with nearly 30,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to nearly 190,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.

Game Designer Jordan Mechner, Creator of Prince of Persia and Karateka, Returns to His Indie Roots

Jordan Mechner Confirms Remake of Karateka in Development

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, via his personal website jordanmechner.com, celebrated game designer Jordan Mechner confirmed that he will revisit feudal Japan with a remake of his 80s blockbuster Karateka, downloadable later this year on XBOX 360® and Playstation3(TM).

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120215/LA53783)

Mechner developed Karateka in his dorm room at Yale. Published by Broderbund in 1984 for the Apple II, Karateka was one of the gaming world's first blockbusters.  As home computing was just taking form, Karateka hooked gamers with simple, addictive 2D fighting mechanics that incorporated cinematic storytelling through fluid, lifelike animation.

For the first time since the making of Ubisoft's bestseller Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time(TM), Mechner is taking an active role in the day-to-day game development process as Karateka's Creative Director.  Like Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the new Karateka is a remake that reinvents Mechner's classic gameplay for this generation.

"Making the original Karateka was a labor of love.  To have so many people embrace it and share the impact that game had on them has been incredibly fulfilling," Mechner said.  "In remaking Karateka, I want to honor the original with a compact, pick-up-and-play game that is fluid, atmospheric and beautiful."

Karateka will be available for PSN and XBLA in 2012.

About Jordan Mechner

Jordan Mechner is a video game designer, author, screenwriter and filmmaker, best known as the creator of the Prince of Persia franchise.  His games include the 1980s classics Karateka and Prince of Persia, The Last Express (1997), and Ubisoft's award-winning 2003 Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Over 17 million Prince of Persia games have been sold worldwide.  In 2010, Jordan became the first game creator to adapt his own work as a feature film screenwriter with Disney's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. It is the highest-grossing video game-based movie to date.  Jordan's graphic novels include Solomon's Thieves and Prince of Persia: Before the Sandstorm.  He wrote and directed Chavez Ravine: A Los Angeles Story, awarded Best Short Documentary of 2003 by the IDA and short-listed for Academy Award nomination.  He published his game development journals as a book, The Making of Prince of Persia.

Gigamon Delivers High-Accuracy Traffic "Time-Stamping" for Banking, Trading and Enterprises

Gigamon delivers a Traffic Time-Stamping solution that offers nanosecond accuracy for demanding environments including High Frequency Traders, Brokerages and Analysts

SILICON VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gigamon®, the world leader in Traffic Visibility Fabric solutions, announced that it now offers two levels of accuracy for its time stamping solutions. The latest addition to the portfolio provides hardware-based time stamping directly at the ingress ports delivering nanosecond accuracy. Accurate time-stamping of traffic traversing production networks enables architects, engineers and operators of High Frequency Trading (HFT), financial and service provider infrastructures to analyze, evaluate, manage and tune the latency of transactions.  Such visibility enables analysts to pinpoint and eliminate causes of communication delay, resulting in faster and more accurate transaction cycles.   

"Shaving a few microseconds off a trade can equate to millions of dollars over time to an algorithmic trader, broker or an exchange," said Dominick Cafarelli, Gigamon Technology Strategist. "As a result, the trading and financial services industry has developed lightning-fast network infrastructures that expedite trading transactions. While many industries are satisfied with microsecond accuracy, Gigamon has raised the bar to deliver nanosecond accuracy for those customers that require it. Therefore, it is imperative that Traffic Visibility Fabrics deliver this capability."

Two Levels of Accuracy

Since first introduced as a component of the GigaVUE-2404, the GigaSMART Time Stamping module has provided an effective solution allowing enterprise customers to accurately measure application response times, jitter and latency. As traffic is delivered to the GigaVUE 2404, it is time stamped at line-rate creating a permanent time record, precise to the microsecond, which remains permanently attached to the Ethernet packet. This level of accuracy easily meets the needs of most companies that require a solution to verify packet ordering and timing. However, enhanced network infrastructures require a higher level of accuracy. As the demand for increased granularity and accuracy of network traffic timing grows, nanosecond timing is required. To meet this high-accuracy need, Gigamon developed a purpose-built traffic time-stamp technology, the new H Series GigaPORT-X12-TS line card, which offers stamping with nanosecond level accuracy.

The GigaPORT X12-TS is designed specifically to address high frequency trading and transaction environments as it executes the traffic time 'stamp' in hardware enabling highly accurate timing of traffic supporting the fastest and most demanding trading transactions. Supporting the PTPv2 timing standard (IEEE 1588), the GigaPORT-X12-TS blade precisely synchronizes time dramatically improving the timing accuracy and visibility into enhanced latency, jitter and bidirectional transactional performance. The new time stamping technology enables out-of-band network analysis to occur at a single location, which drives operational efficiency and reduces infrastructure complexity and cost. Combined with GPS synchronization, GigaPORT-X12-TS enables enhanced accuracy across networks that span hundreds or thousands of miles.

About Gigamon

Gigamon® provides intelligent Traffic Visibility Fabric solutions for enterprises, data centers and service providers around the globe. Our technology empowers infrastructure architects, managers and operators with unmatched visibility into the traffic traversing both physical and virtual networks without affecting the performance or stability of the production environment. Through patented technologies, the Gigamon GigaVUE® portfolio of high availability and high density products intelligently delivers the appropriate network traffic to security, monitoring or management systems. With over seven years' experience designing and building intelligent traffic visibility products in the US, Gigamon serves the vertical market leaders of the Fortune 1000 and has an install base spanning 40 countries.

Solution Allows Mobile Users to Execute Contracts on the Go - SurDoc Platform Features Industry-Leading Free 10GB Cloud Storage Space and Service

MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SurDoc(TM) Corporation (http://www.surdoc.com) - a leader in online document processing and backup technology, today introduced its secure document signing capability feature on its SurDoc platform. The capability is the first of its kind in the industry to be integrated into a cloud storage environment.

Traditionally, mobile workers such as realtors, sales professionals, government employees, and other individuals who regularly execute forms and contracts, were required to download documents off their hard drives or servers, and then print, sign, scan, upload and email these documents to be able to perform their jobs. This process wastes a lot of time and money not only for the worker, but also for the organization as a whole. The worker also may not have access to equipment, such as printers or scanners, to perform these functions. With SurDoc, these same individuals now have an easy, fast, secure and reliable option to access, edit, sign and send forms and contracts from any location digitally - they are no longer confined to their desktops to perform this critical business function. The only equipment that is needed is a mobile device, be it a laptop, smart phone or tablet, that connects to a web browser. These mobile individuals can now be more productive, and are able to save time and money in the process.   

SurDoc, who currently offers free 10GB of space for individual users, now includes its secure document signing function as part of its existing free platform, making it the largest free storage solution that offers this signing capability on the market. The feature includes a typewriter tool, which operates much like computer text, allowing users to add comments directly into documents. Also included is the handwriting tool, which functions like a pen, and enables the user to actually sign and date documents, in their native signature, digitally in the cloud-based document. When the document is printed, the date and signature appear just like it was signed and dated by an actual pen. Other components include "export to PDF", which functions the same way as traditional scan and email, and "send document by link", which sends the document via a link, which alleviates the need to upload large documents.

"A handful of providers have a computer text version, but it stops there," said Suzanne Duris, Marketing Director of SurDoc. "We implemented a document signing feature that enables our users to actually execute contracts and other forms using their native signature quickly and effectively.  Since our aim is to go beyond cloud storage, we are making our solution even more robust because ease of use, security and reliability are what matter most to our users." 

This new enhancement comes on the heels of SurDoc's beta launch in December 2011 of their cloud storage solution and their announcement of $4M Series A funding received from IDG Ventures.

About SurDoc Corp.
SurDoc is a startup that launched in Menlo Park, CA in December 2011 to redefine backup, sharing and manipulation of documents in the cloud. Based on the OASIS UOML standard, SurDoc goes beyond cloud storage by enabling text and image data from virtually any source (word processing, spreadsheets, PDFs, presentations and more) to be viewed, shared, annotated and digitally signed using most web browsers on any device (desktop, laptop, smart phone, tablet, etc.) without having to download an app. SurDoc offers 10GB of free storage to its users and is a pioneer in standardizing shared document management data. SurDoc is built on a mature technology supported by more than 100 patents, issued and pending. For more information, contact SurDoc at http://www.surdoc.com.

Dialogic Launches Unique Software Solution to Measure and Track Viewers' Mobile Video Quality of Experience

The VisionVideo Software Solution enables companies that deliver mobile video to understand the QoE being received by viewers, opening monetization opportunities

MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dialogic Inc. (NASDAQ: DLGC), a leading provider of communications technologies that power advanced networks, today launched its software solution to measure and track the perceptual quality of mobile video. The Dialogic® VisionVideo(TM) Software Solution enables companies that deliver mobile video services to determine the perceptual quality of experience (QoE) being received by viewers. By understanding the perceptual quality of the viewer, companies can position themselves to improve viewer experience, and ultimately open opportunities to monetize mobile video services.

The VisionVideo Software Solution is utilized by companies that create and deliver mobile video - including broadcasters, advertisers, content aggregators, and network operators - and who disadvantageously lack information about their customers' actual video quality experience due to current solutions that focus on analyzing network conditions.

The VisionVideo Software Solution measures and reports perceptual mobile video quality as experienced by viewers. VisionVideo provides important information for diagnosing and isolating problems and targeting perceptual quality issues. By delivering a high-quality mobile video QoE, service providers and other companies can help better position themselves to retain customers and build a positive brand image around quality.

VisionVideo is being launched with one of the premier streaming media companies in the world - MobiTV.  "MobiTV has long been a believer in seamlessly delivering an overall high quality of experience while maintaining network efficiency," said MobiTV, Inc. CTO Kay Johansson.  "We believe Dialogic's VisionVideo Software will be a valuable solution to achieve this goal."

"Demand for mobile video is on the rise, and with that comes higher expectations of quality," said Susan Welsh de Grimaldo of Strategy Analytics.  "In order for companies that deliver mobile video to capitalize on this opportunity, adding new customers and retaining current ones, they must first understand the quality of experience. Dialogic is addressing this issue head on, giving companies the right information they need to create a positive viewing experience. This translates to strong customer retention and an increased bottom line."

The VisionVideo Software Solution integrates seamlessly into existing workflows and operations, without the need for special or customized measurement hardware.

It can be downloaded and deployed quickly (generally in only a matter of hours), giving companies fast access to its benefits and eliminating the need for costly installation and integration.

"The VisionVideo Software Solution opens important doors for companies involved in creating and distributing mobile video, giving them information to help establish new and creative - yet still grounded - business models," said Uno Mehta, vice president and general manager of Dialogic's Video Business Unit. "With its unique ability to measure and track quality for specific video content, VisionVideo provides the opportunity for companies to generate additional revenue - whether through subscription services, tiered service offerings, or other premium services - based on the solution's ability to validate a high-quality viewing experience for mobile video."

Showcase at National Conference on Bullying to Feature SchoolMessenger's Talk About It Anonymous Bullying-Prevention Service

Anonymous Mobile Tool Enables Students to Break 'The Code of Silence' Using Text or Email To Report Problems, On-Campus or Off

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. and ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- National Conference on Bullying -- SchoolMessenger, the leading provider of communication solutions for education, today announced it will host the first public demonstration of its recently acquired Talk About It® service at the 2012 National Conference on Bullying, which takes place February 15-17 in Orlando. Talk About It is the first and only anonymous communication service that enables students to 'speak up' by engaging in text or online messaging with trusted school staff members. Originally launched in 2005, and currently in use by more than 300,000 students, Talk About It is now available as an on-demand solution to schools and districts nationwide, regardless of the notification service they employ.

Each year the National Conference on Bullying gathers experts together to examine the issue of bullying and share strategies to address it. Carter B. Myers, vice president of Anonymous Communication Solutions at SchoolMessenger, will participate in a Program Showcase on Monday from 3:00-5:00 p.m. (Main Ballroom) to discuss how Talk About It has improved safety in schools around the country.

"We applaud the conference organizers for fostering a national discussion around the topic of bullying and showcasing solutions and strategies that educators can use to combat the problem in their communities," said Mr. Myers. "Our Talk About It service is aimed directly at students, who we believe represent the best source for knowing what's going on inside their school. By empowering them with an anonymous, mobile tool we strive to create a culture in which they are comfortable breaking 'the code of silence' and reporting problems before it's too late."

Talk About It is a preventative service that allows faculty to meet students where they are - online and with text messaging. If a problem or threat should arise, students are empowered to send an anonymous message to a trusted school staff member to alert them. Because their communication can be relayed anonymously, it allows students to begin a confidential, two-way dialogue that can lead to immediate and actionable results. The use of text messaging and email - largely ubiquitous among today's students - also reduces the stigma of being seen reaching out to a counselor or faculty member or 'snitching' on a fellow student.

For more information about Talk About, including a 3-minute video introduction and free, downloadable white paper (Creating a Culture of Dialogue: Practical Steps for Better Communication and Safer Schools), visit http://talk.schoolmessenger.com.

About SchoolMessenger

SchoolMessenger is the leading provider of communication solutions for education. Thousands of school districts, public schools, colleges, universities, private schools and other educational facilities in all 50 states depend on the company's innovative solutions, including the SchoolMessenger notification service and Talk About It anonymous communication service.

PRBA-The Rechargeable Battery Association Hails Enactment of FAA Reauthorization

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- George Kerchner, Executive Director of PRBA--The Rechargeable Battery Association, issued the following statement after President Obama signed into law the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, a four-year, $63.4 billion authorization of the Federal Aviation Administration.

Please attribute any statement to Mr. Kerchner.

"PRBA has long supported the FAA reauthorization legislation. We thank the President for signing this momentous bill into law. We also congratulate Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), ranking member Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John L. Mica (R-FL) and ranking member Nick Rahall (D-WV) for passage of  a long-term FAA reauthorization bill. PRBA is especially grateful to Rep. Mica for his strong and effective leadership over the years on lithium-battery transportation issues."   

"This new law promotes safety and reduces potential disruptions of international commerce essential to grow the U.S. economy and create jobs. Key provisions in this statute strengthen the safety standards for the air transport of lithium batteries and the thousands of products powered by these batteries, from consumer electronics products such as laptop computers and cell phones to advanced medical devices, including defibrillators and pacemakers, as well as critical military equipment."

"Most important for PRBA and its members, the new law bolsters the safe air transport of lithium batteries and products by directing the U.S. Department of Transportation to harmonize its rules on the air transport of lithium batteries with the more stringent international shipping requirements contained in the ICAO Technical Instructions. As part of a broad coalition of manufacturers and transportation companies, PRBA has repeatedly urged the Department of Transportation to upgrade its safety regulations by conforming its rules with stricter international labeling and packaging requirements."   

"Safety remains PRBA's No. 1 priority. The President's action today is a step in the right direction. Legislation and regulation are critical to the safe transport of lithium batteries and products powered by these batteries. But air transport safety is best achieved through aggressive international and U.S. enforcement that compels shippers everywhere to comply with existing battery safety regulations."

About PRBA
PRBA members power the consumer electronics revolution. We deliver a safe, efficient, and essential power source for portable electronic equipment such as notebook computers, cell phones, power tools, PDAs, and MP3 players, as well as hybrid and electric vehicles. PRBA members produce approximately 70 percent of the world's lithium ion cells and account for billions of dollars in annual worldwide sales. With more than 70 members, PRBA is widely recognized as the nation's authoritative source for information on rechargeable batteries. Visit PRBA online at http://www.PRBA.org.

Bleacher Report Kicks Off New Lineup of Original Sports Channels on YouTube

New Shows "B/R5," "NFL Draft 365," "Why We Watch" and "Full Ride" to Offer Fans Engaging Content that Focuses on Teams and Topics on Local Level

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bleacher Report, one of the fastest-growing sites on the Internet and the Web's fifth largest sports media destination with 25 million monthly unique users, today announced the launch of several original sports-themed shows that will make their debut on their YouTube's sports channel this week and next month. 

Today's announcement comes in the wake of Bleacher Report's relationship with YouTube announced late last year that is bringing new, diverse and creative sets of original programming to YouTube users, while creating new opportunities for the content ecosystem across various categories including sports.

"We're really excited to be working with YouTube on this initiative and helping bring great sports content for fans around the world to the Bleacher Report Channel on YouTube," said Dave Nemetz, Co-Founder and VP Video Programming and Production, Bleacher Report.  "Video is great platform for us in delivering content to today's connected viewer looking for information around the teams and topics that fans care most about.  These original programs are a reflection of that commitment and we strongly believe that users will get an enhanced experience from these shows."

B/R 5

Beginning today, users to YouTube will be able to view B/R5, Bleacher Report's daily dose of the five biggest, best or most buzzworthy sports stories of the day, featuring Desi Sanchez (E! News Now and MTV) as the host.  Available Monday through Friday, the daily show covers the hottest games, athletes, personalities and stories across the sports landscape that is delivered through an irreverent and entertaining style that is unique to Bleacher Report.

NFL Draft 365 and Why We Watch

Later this week, Bleacher Report will kick off NFL Draft 365 and Why We Watch on YouTube.  Hosted by Alex Panos (HGTV's "Run My Money" and SNY's "Beer Money"), NFL Draft 365 will be the first show of its kind to provide year round coverage of the lightning rod for discussion and debate that is the NFL Draft.  With speculation, storylines and insatiable appetites for information, NFL Draft 365 will fill that void all year long. Each weekly episode will include a current or former NFL player as a guest analyst, starting with Pittsburgh Steeler QB and two-time Super Bowl champion Charlie Batch. Regular features will include a War Room segment with Bleacher Report NFL Draft Lead Writer Matt Miller, in-depth profiles on top draft prospects, and candid memories from current and former NFL stars on their draft experience.

Produced by Jim Forman (Showtime Championship Boxing and ESPN Classic), Sarah Kreiger (The Olympic Games), Amir Ebrahimi (NACHO LIBRE) and Chris Peterson (Top Gear USA), Why We Watch features short form sports documentaries that tell unique stories that capture the emotion and passion inherent in why we watch sports.  Each weekly episode of Why We Watch will focus on a narrative unique to the sports landscape, be it a small story with major significance or a fresh new angle on a well-known event. Initial subjects include female auto racing pioneer Janet Guthrie and Robin Ficker, the NBA's most notorious heckler.

Full Ride

In March, Bleacher Report will unveil Full Ride on YouTube, a weekly show serving information, opinion and analysis about the college football recruiting scene.  Produced by Marc Kohn (Heisman Trophy presentation and NFL Draft), Full Ride will focus on the big programs and five star recruits that make the college football world turn while uncovering diamonds in the rough that might push the next national championship contender over the top.

RADWIN to Present SMALL CELL NLOS BACKHAUL SOLUTION at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona

RADWIN's non-line-of-sight backhaul solution enables deployment of 3G/4G Picocells at street level

TEL AVIV, Israel, February 15, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    RADWIN (http://www.radwin.com), the global provider of sub-6 GHz wireless
broadband solutions, today announced that it will present its solution for
non-line-of-sight small cell backhaul at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, February
2012. RADWIN's ground-breaking solution backhauls traffic from 3G/LTE small cells in
non-line-of-sight conditions. RADWIN's point-to-point and point-to-multipoint systems are
installed in over 140 countries worldwide. The solutions are now in LTE small cell trials
by leading European and US carriers, where the high capacity and robust performance of the
links under tough NLOS conditions is validated.

    Demand for data is soaring, driving mobile operators to deploy small cells (e.g. LTE
Picocells) at the street-level to enhance network capacity and coverage, especially in
urban areas. Backhauling small cells poses significant challenges and necessitates
non-line-of-sight transmission. RADWIN's telco-grade solutions combine advanced
technologies and RADWIN's extensive experience in carrier sub-6GHz backhaul. The wireless
links are singularly capable of operating in dense urban environments where there are many
obstacles that block line-of-sight (e.g. buildings, trees) and ensure robust transmission
in dynamic street level conditions where there is high interference and severe multipath.

    Adi Nativ, RADWIN's Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, stated:
"Mobile operators that are adopting the small cell deployment architecture face the
challenge of backhauling in non-line-of-sight. These operators are turning to RADWIN
because we have a proven solution that is based on years of accumulated experience in NLOS
backhaul deployments and over 100,000 radio installations worldwide. RADWIN is
collaborating with leading players in the industry to deliver the most advanced NLOS
backhaul solution that will enable 3G/LTE small cell network deployments in the coming
year."

Customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile broadband on new LTE compatible devices

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has turned on its 4G LTE network in Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. AT&T 4G LTE provides several benefits, including:

    --  Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile broadband
        speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Customers can stream, download,
        upload and game faster than ever before.
    --  Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the
        processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how
        long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent
        the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming,
        two-way video calling and telemedicine.
    --  More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource,
        and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating
        more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better
        network experience.
    --  Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including
        new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets.

AT&T will continue to expand its 4G LTE footprint in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area over the coming months. AT&T has launched 4G LTE in 28 markets nationwide.

Neudesic Celebrates 10 Years of Technological Innovation

Growing company blazing new trails into mobile, social, cloud and HTML5 platforms.

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bolstered by a decade of solid growth, Neudesic is poised to lead the industry into emerging technology sectors with proprietary products and creative solutions that will continue to drive business productivity and efficiency for decades to come.

Founded in 2002 by forward-thinking industry veterans who saw opportunity in the development of Microsoft's .NET platform, Neudesic has since acquired a deep understanding of Microsoft's entire technology stack. The Microsoft National Systems Integrator & Gold ISV Partner has leveraged its expertise in Microsoft's various platforms to become a leading provider of SharePoint, Dynamics CRM, Azure and mobile solutions.

Through the years, various industry and business publications have recognized Neudesic's meteoric rise from a small start-up with a vision to an established force on a mission. For the fifth straight year in 2011, Inc. Magazine named Neudesic to its list of America's fastest growing private companies.

"In the early days after Anthony, Tim and I started Neudesic, we had a couple of offices and a handful of people with passion for software and technology, and ideas of what it could do to make businesses more productive and efficient," said CEO and co-Founder Parsa Rohani. "Today that passion and those ideas have made us the trusted technology partner in business innovation with hundreds of people in offices worldwide who now call Neudesic home."

Neudesic has maintained its leadership in the industry by continually identifying new ways to leverage emerging technology, like cloud computing. "Our experts are leading the way in bringing practical, real-world solutions for customers to the cloud," said Rohani.

The company's expertise in the cloud has not gone unnoticed in Redmond, as Microsoft recently selected Neudesic to join the prestigious Azure Circle in recognition of its support for all aspects of Microsoft's cloud platform. Neudesic's Azure Circle selection comes on the heels of its appointment to the Dynamics President's Club, a prestigious group that represents the top five percent of Microsoft Dynamics partners worldwide.

Mobile computing is another area where Neudesic has shown considerable expertise and innovation, which was validated when Microsoft named Neudesic a Partner of the Year for extraordinary innovation in mobile technology. "We are pleased to honor Neudesic as the Mobility Business-to-Consumer Application Partner of the Year," said Andy Lees, president of Windows Phone Division at Microsoft. "Neudesic's mobile solutions enable collaboration and access to critical information on the go, all while providing a fantastic experience for consumers."

Entering its second decade, the company is already deeply immersed in new web technology like HTML5 and enterprise social collaboration, the latter of which Neudesic has addressed with Pulse, an enterprise social networking product that adds seamless integration and microblogging capabilities to almost any business system or application. Pulse has already received accolades from companies that have incorporated the unique product into their business social strategies.

Enterproid and BroadSoft Deliver a Rich Enterprise User Experience for BYOD Mobility

Divide and BroadSoft Together Enable Unified Communications on Employee's Personal Mobile Devices

NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterproid(TM), maker of the Divide(TM) platform for securely enabling and accelerating "bring your own device" (BYOD) mobility, announced today the integration of its platform with BroadSoft's communications platform. The Divide platform delivers a dual-persona user experience with the work persona secured and cloud-managed by IT. This integration offers a rich BYOD experience by enabling employees to use and manage their business communications services, including text messaging from a business number, business directory integration, call settings management, extension dialing and much more from their personal mobile device. As a result, employees now have convenient access to their work calls without compromising their privacy, since their mobile phone number is reserved for personal calls.

Enterproid and BroadSoft® are creating a new and rich enterprise user experience for greater worker productivity. In a recent survey of IT leaders by CIO Magazine, over 80 percent of the respondents indicated that increased user satisfaction and productivity were the top business benefits of a BYOD policy. Respondents also reported that almost half of all businesses are moving to a unified communications environment.

"The integration of Divide and BroadSoft's communications platform creates a new standard for BYOD mobility, virtualizing the worker's office, making it accessible on the employee's personal Android(TM) device and delivering it via the cloud - regardless of carrier, device or version of Android OS running on their device," said Alexander Trewby, vice president of product and an Enterproid co-founder. "While other BYOD solutions focus on corporate email or the use of dual phone SIMs, the integration with BroadSoft's platforms has extended the BYOD user experience to encompass workplace messaging, data and voice services, while also giving IT the tools to secure, manage and tailor the BYOD experience for each employee. We give the employee the flexibility to get what they need to do their job, anytime and on any device, without compromising user experience or privacy."

"With the explosive growth of smart mobile devices, enterprises are increasingly being asked by employees to support the delivery of business communication services to personal mobile devices," said Curtis Hartmann, senior director mobile solutions, BroadSoft. "Our integration with the Divide platform enables the delivery of a broad range of unified communication services, including calling and text messaging from a business number, corporate directory integration, business feature management, and much more, to an employee's personal mobile device, while providing IT managers with the assurance that their enterprise information is secure and they can effectively manage costs."

The Divide platform by Enterproid enables employees to use their personal mobile device for work and life with a dual persona device experience that they can manage from MyDivide(TM). This personal management portal provides the employee a way to lock, beacon, or wipe their mobile device in the event it is lost or stolen. Similarly, Divide Manager(TM) for IT includes a fleet-management console for supporting enterprise-wide policy deployment and enforcement, including the ability to see all connected devices, set policies by group, perform remote wipes of corporate data, lock the corporate persona and administer password reset.

BroadSoft enables mobile, fixed-line and cable service providers to offer a comprehensive set of unified communications services including high-definition voice and video conferencing, text messaging, instant messaging, presence indicators, meet me audio conferencing, hosted call center capabilities and more.

Commtouch Launches Outbound Spam Protection Module for Parallels Plesk Panel

Integrated Solution Prevents Blacklisting of Hosting Provider Networks

ORLANDO, Fla. and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Commtouch® (NASDAQ: CTCH) today announced the availability of its Outbound Spam Protection as a fully integrated module within Parallels Plesk Panel. The announcement was made in Orlando during Parallels Summit 2012, an event that attracts a global audience of over 1,200 leading participants from across the cloud and hosting industry.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20110906/478788)

The outbound spam problem differs significantly from that of inbound spam, and Commtouch has therefore developed a distinctive approach to protect Parallels hosting provider partners against this rapidly growing threat. Blacklisting, caused by outbound spam, malware and phishing emails, can result in customer loss, damage to hosting providers' reputation and brand and increased operational costs. Commtouch's Outbound Spam Protection module integrates with the Parallels Plesk Panel email server to provide a range of functions, including:

    --  Blocking of local and global outbound spam to dramatically reduce
        blacklisting incidents.
    --  Immediate identification of the spammer, enabling appropriate management
        of the source of the problem, rather than just the symptoms. Hosters can
        also pro­actively reach out to infected customers.
    --  Delivery of sent-spam metrics to anti-abuse teams.
    --  Comprehensive reporting tools that allow administrators to view the
        quality of SMTP traffic at a glance.
"Too rigid blacklisting of email can degrade customer satisfaction and severely impact a hoster's ability to operate profitably," said John Zanni, Parallels VP of Service Provider Marketing and Alliances. "We're pleased to see Commtouch joining the Parallels ecosystem of APS-certified applications to help service providers better manage email."

The Outbound Spam Protection solution implements the same patented Recurrent Pattern Detection(TM) (RPD) technology used in Commtouch's GlobalView(TM) Cloud to analyze local hosting provider traffic, detecting outbound spam within seconds -- with almost no false positives. Designed specifically to combat outbound spam, Commtouch's solution overcomes the limitations of other options, such as rate-limiting and reversed inbound spam filters, which result in blocked email, false positives and lost employee productivity.

"Commtouch's Outbound Spam Protection has proven highly effective in detecting outbound spam and spammers -- even those that consistently eluded hosting providers," said Amir Lev, Commtouch's chief technology officer. "Integration of our solution into Parallels Plesk Panel allows hosting providers of all sizes to easily add the same best-of-breed functionality that is already installed in the networks of hosters such as Superb and Hostway."

The Commtouch Outbound Spam Protection solution is currently available in Parallels Key Administrator licensing system for its partners.  Parallels' partners can contact sales managers for more information.

As part of the launch, Commtouch and Parallels will be providing a free one-month trial of the solution. Commtouch's team will be available at Parallels Summit 2012 from February 14-16 in Orlando, Florida, to discuss its technologies and to issue promotional service deals to interested hosting providers.

PE-Nexus Deal Marketplace Facilitates Successful Majority Recapitalization of Three Companies Between Private Equity Group and M&A Advisory Firm

Closing of Deal Via Intelligent Deal Marketplace Takes Place in Almost Record Time

MIAMI, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PE-Nexus, the leading private market network for efficient deal flow exchange between middle-market M&A professionals, today announced that it facilitated a majority recapitalization of three companies -- Sauls Seismic, Nomis Seismographs, and South Technical Services (the "Companies") -- by Birmingham, AL-based Lazarus Capital Partners ("LCP"). Sell-side representation to the Companies was provided by Dallas, TX-based The Transition Companies ("TTC"). The PE-Nexus platform connected LCP and TTC via its proprietary suitor-matching technology, which intelligently identifies and instantly connects actionable M&A opportunities with qualified strategic and financial suitors. Three months later, on December 30th, 2011, the transaction was successfully closed.

"It's great to learn about another success story facilitated by PE-Nexus," said Tony Hill, PE-Nexus CEO and Co-Founder. "What makes this deal unique is the speed of the transaction -- from posted to closed in only three months, when a standard deal process can easily last four months or more. That equates to a 25% reduction in timeframe. Shortening the deal process by making it more efficient is what PE-Nexus is all about, so we're ecstatic about the outcome of this deal."

"PE-Nexus is a value-added component of our comprehensive marketing strategy and allows us to open the market more effectively, quickly and confidentially for our clients," said Brandon Fitzgerald, Director of Transactions Operations at The Transition Companies. "We consistently receive a significant volume of inquiries from serious, qualified buyers by utilizing the PE-Nexus platform and this transaction is a shining example."

"PE-Nexus was instrumental in bringing this opportunity to our attention. They have designed a platform that has been instrumental to our group for both sourcing deals and meeting new intermediaries, which we might not otherwise have come in contact with," said W. Spencer South, Partner at Lazarus Capital Partners. "The ability to specify specific parameters of an investment target helps cut through the clutter and shorten the lead time as well," continued Mr. South.

About PE-Nexus:

PE-Nexus is the leading private market network for middle-market M&A professionals. Over 2,300 M&A professionals from some 1,700 private equity groups, family offices, corporate M&A departments, investment banks, and boutique M&A advisory firms leverage PE-Nexus' intelligent deal marketplace to efficiently identify buyers, instantly amplify deal flow, and close more deals, faster. Since 2010, 1,500 actionable sell-side M&A opportunities have flowed through PE-Nexus.

About Lazarus Capital Partners:

KongZhong Corporation Announces Strategic Acquisition of Noumena, a Smartphone Mobile Game Engine Company

BEIJING, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- KongZhong Corporation (the "Company") (NASDAQ: KONG), a leading provider of digital entertainment services for consumers in China, today announced it has entered into definitive agreements to acquire 100% of the equity interest in Noumena Innovations (BVI) Ltd. ("Noumena") and certain assets from a related party of Noumena for a total consideration of US$15.0 million in cash, which is payable over three years from the closing of the transactions, and 40.0 million of the Company's ordinary shares (equivalent to 1.0 million ADSs), which are subject to a three-year lock-up period.  The board of directors of the Company has approved the transactions, and the transactions are expected to close in the first quarter of 2012.

Noumena is the developer of Handymo, a cross-platform smartphone mobile game engine.  The Handymo game engine, using its proprietary JavaScript-based development environment, supports all major smartphone mobile game platforms, including iOS, Android and HTML5, allowing for more rapid and cost-effective development of smartphone games, including 3D mobile massively multiplayer online ("MMO") games.  By leveraging the Handymo game engine, Noumena has developed a number of successful "freemium" games for the iOS and Android platforms, including 3D Pool Master and Tank Fury HD 3D.

The Company intends to integrate the Noumena team into its existing mobile game development team (of more than 100 employees) in order to create new smartphone mobile games that will take advantage of the Handymo game engine technologies. The Company believes this new generation of smartphone mobile games will enable it to leverage its existing mobile game distribution channels in China and capture market share in the nascent PRC smartphone mobile games market, separate from the Company's existing featurephone mobile game business. Moreover, the Company believes these new games will also enable it to expand its market presence in the overseas smartphone mobile games market with a focus on the "freemium" mobile games sector of the market.

About KongZhong

The Company is one of the leading providers of digital entertainment services for consumers in China. We operate three main business units, namely WVAS, mobile games and Internet games. We are one of the leading providers of WVAS to mobile phone users. We began providing WVAS on the networks of China Mobile in 2002. Since 2004, we have provided WVAS on the networks of China Unicom, China Telecom, China Netcom and the other major telecommunications operators in China. Since 2004, we have also offered news, entertainment, community and mobile advertising services through our wireless Internet sites, including Kong.net, ko.cn and ct.cn. In 2008, we began reporting our mobile games business as a stand-alone operating segment, while it was previously reported as part of our WVAS business. We began our Internet games business in 2010, through our acquisition of Dacheng Networks, a developer and operator of online games.

Atos, EMC and VMware to Form an Open Cloud Computing Strategic Alliance

Atos to create Canopy, a One-Stop-Shop Company for Advanced Cloud Services; EMC and VMware to Invest Alongside Atos to Unlock the Potential of Cloud Computing for Enterprises and Governments

PARIS, HOPKINTON, Mass and PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Webcast today at 15.00 (CET) with Thierry Breton Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Atos and Joe Tucci, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at EMCRegister here

Atos, EMC Corporation and VMware announced today a strategic alliance for open cloud computing. Additionally, Atos plans to create a new company, Canopy, providing a wide range of cloud solutions and services designed to speed the delivery and help customers quickly take advantage of the benefits of cloud computing.  Based on best-of-breed technology from global cloud computing industry leaders EMC and VMware, the new offerings will include an open cloud platform that enables customers to easily and flexibly choose, access and deploy cloud-based services for their enterprise IT needs.

Canopy will provide a market-leading one-stop shop for cloud services, enabling organizations to easily, securely and cost effectively accelerate their move to the cloud.  As part of the strategic alliance and in addition to providing the advanced technologies upon which the new Atos cloud solutions and services will be delivered, EMC and VMware also intend to invest alongside Atos to help drive innovation and the successful adoption of Canopy's solutions in the marketplace.

Thierry Breton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Atos, said: "Today's enterprises and governments face in parallel massive pressures on IT costs, growing user expectations for agility, user-friendliness, and innovation. Cloud Computing is radically changing the world of IT by meeting these needs. The launch of Canopy and its unique set of enterprise-grade services will ensure that Atos is well positioned to play a leading role in this new and growing market. The value of today's strategic alliance is very promising for our customers as Canopy has been designed to leverage the capabilities of Atos, EMC and VMware technologies so as to offer our clients the best one-stop-shop cloud services. Canopy will in particular closely work with its private and public sector customers to guarantee that its cloud solutions and operations will provide the highest level of integrity, reliability and security."

Joe  Tucci, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, EMC said "Cloud computing is altering forever the way in which IT is designed and consumed across data centers, applications and end user access points. EMC looks forward to working even more closely with Atos, accelerating this shared vision and making the benefits of cloud computing a reality for enterprise customers in key targeted industries."

Paul Maritz, Chief Executive Officer, VMware said:  "Cloud computing represents a significant shift in how customers consume and manage IT resources, but they are asking for the benefits of the cloud on their terms, with the ability for managed services to be delivered on or off premise. We're pleased to be working with Atos and EMC to deliver cloud solutions in this fashion - simplifying and automating IT services to help customers not only reduce costs, but also transform IT into a strategic asset that yields business and competitive value."

The new strategic cloud offerings will be based on open standards so clients can always choose their preferred technology, whether to run the solution off- or on-premise and how to mix private, public and hybrid cloud solutions to best meet their business needs. They will be targeted at selected vertical markets and include:

    --  An Enterprise Application Store - powered by EMC and VMware
        technologies- will enable clients anywhere in the world to choose,
        access and download applications they require under the Software as a
        Service (SaaS) model. The store will include horizontal
        (cross-industries) and industry-specific business applications.
    --  An Enterprise Platform as a Service (PaaS) - powered by EMC and VMware
        technologies, and managed by Atos, will provide a secure enterprise Java
        development environment, incorporating a standard development framework
        where Canopy and its clients can design, create and test new cloud
        applications.
    --  A Private Cloud - powered by EMC and VMware technologies - will provide
        clients with a pre-configured, standardized, enterprise-grade cloud
        stack for on-premise and off-premise deployments, enabling clients to
        speed up their cloud readiness.
    --  Cloud strategy & transformation Journey Design - these consulting
        services will range from building customized cloud strategy to shaping a
        cloud transformation journey so that customers can grasp the benefits
        while moving to the cloud securely and at the speed that is right for
        them.
The strategic alliance will leverage the common channels of Atos and EMC to bring to the market this portfolio of end-to-end cloud services.

With cloud computing currently accounting for 10% of the IT market and set to quadruple by 2020, Atos, EMC and VMware share the same vision and strategy regarding ongoing IT/Cloud transformation and the Cloud solutions and services required in the marketplace.

Canopy will enable the transformation of the application landscape of customers and help them capture the value delivered by the cloud. Canopy customers will benefit from the highest levels of integrity, security and confidentiality of data in the cloud as well as secure operations with high level of availability leveraging the broad portfolio of solutions and services from its partners.

Thus, Canopy customers will fully benefit from the cutting-edge EMC and VMware technologies, orchestrated, carefully integrated, industrialized and delivered through the Atos worldwide datacenter network and proven know-how in cloud services.  For organizations, the benefits are huge - in IT costs reduction through flexible pricing models plus access to innovative, flexible, agile technology that ensures rapid implementation and faster time to market for products and services.

Headquartered in Europe, Canopy will propose Cloud offerings from dedicated infrastructures in order to ensure its customers' data protection and security, complying with all relevant regulations. Canopy CEO will be appointed by Atos, its principal shareholder.

DirectEmployer's Association Releases Mobile Functionality to .JOBS Top Level Domains

The .JOBS Universe will now be accessible to job seekers using their mobile browsers to conduct job searches.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- DirectEmployers Association, a leading HR consortium representing over 600 of the leading global employers, launched mobile functionality on its ever expanding .JOBS network of US.jobs and .JOBS Career Microsites.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110305/HS59950LOGO )

In 2007, an alliance between DirectEmployers Association and the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) created the National Labor Exchange. Since then the National Labor Exchange, which powers US.jobs, has been utilized by employers as an alternative to commercial job boards. According to Bill Warren, DirectEmployers Executive Director, "As more of today's job seekers are turning to online resources to find employment, it is necessary to provide them with a tool that is accessible from all devices, both mobile and desktop."

The Puget Sound Business Journal reported that more than 40% of U.S. mobile subscribers, or 97.9 million Americans, own a smartphone. "One of the benefits of having a mobile version of US.jobs and other .JOBS Career Microsites is the ability to reach a broad base of job seekers who are trying to access both the state job banks and other sites within the .JOBS Universe," states Rodney Moses, VP of Global Recruitment, Hilton Worldwide and DirectEmployers Board President.

Instead of creating a second website for mobile users, the development team chose to create an intuitive version that adapts to the user's device when the window drops below a set width.  Rather than focusing exclusively on a type of smartphone or other device developers set out to create a mobile version with full search functionality. "The process of implementing a mobile platform on our .JOBS sites began with a single thought, how can we take our multi-faceted website and make it accessible in a very narrow window without downgrading the value of the site," commented DirectEmployers Senior User Experience Designer, Jason Sole.

The New York, Nevada and Connecticut state job banks, powered through a partnership between DirectEmployers and NASWA, will now be included in the .JOBS microsites optimized for mobile viewing. Deborah Beaudoin from the State of Connecticut Department of Labor added, "We have found that more and more job seekers don't own or have direct access to a computer making their job search that much more difficult. With the release of a mobile version of our job bank our total audience reach will be expanded exponentially." These state sites will have full functionality on mobile browsers helping job seekers connect directly with employers. On-the-go job seekers who only have a smartphone will be able to fully access the job bank and apply, share or email job opportunities to themselves or their friends.

About National Association of State Workforce Agencies

The National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) is an organization of state administrators of unemployment insurance laws, employment services, training programs, employment statistics and labor market information and other programs and services provided through the publicly-funded state workforce system.

About DirectEmployers Association

DirectEmployers Association is a nonprofit HR consortium of leading global employers formed to improve labor market efficiency through the sharing of best practices, research and the development of technology. .JOBS Career Microsites are one of the many technologies that DirectEmployers Association provides to member companies.

3DTV Ventures LLC is Proud to Announce the Full Release of Its 3D Internet Portal Website 3DTV.COM

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- 3DTV.COM is the first 3D Portal that is devoted solely to filling the needs of the online 3D video community, the fastest growing market in the Video space. Founded by Brad Beckerman, Wayne Naphtal, and John Davimos in April of 2011, 3DTV.COM is a free membership site that features a patented 2D to 3D conversion process which converts 2D pictures and videos to 3D in real time, as well as allowing members to upload native 3D content. Members are provided with their own private channels to store their content, but may elect at any time to make their content or channel public to the 3D community. 3DTV.com was developed to be the leading  social networking community in the 3D industry, allowing sharing, embedding, and commenting, as well as posting pictures and videos on other major social networking sites. According to Naphtal this is all made possible by their proprietary player. "Our player really is the most unique one in the space; it allows you to watch 3D with anaglyph glasses, Passive glasses, or on any glasses-free device. I don't believe any player is as effective or user friendly as ours, and we are really only in the first inning of 3D. We are continuing to develop our player, and other features including a mobile website and apps, so that we remain fresh, ahead of the curve and continue to be the leader in this industry."

3DTV.com was originally launched in Beta on December 1, 2011 to an overwhelming positive response from the internet community. The success of the Beta test has allowed the company to move to a full release and forward with their plans for the future. Again from Naphtal, "Even though our initial financial raise was last April, this has really been a three year process. Brad had the vision several years ago that 3D was the future and bought the most valuable branded URL in the space. Since that time we have been developing a plan to market this property, and the release of the site is only step one."

In addition to providing video content, 3DTV.com has become the leading provider of News and Reviews in the industry, the site currently employs four full-time writers, all with a different expertise in 3D. The News and Reviews section releases articles daily, including product reviews, movie reviews, blogs and industry information about 3D. When asked about 3DTV.COM's role in content, John Davimos replied, "Our goal is to be a community and to be different from other video sites, to be a place to not only view and share 3D, but to learn about it as well. In the next four years, as 3D becomes a glasses free industry, most consumers will buy a 3D TV, a 3D cell phone, a 3D computer, and a 3D Tablet. We want to be the destination of choice to learn and participate in this growing market."

3DTV.COM's marketing plan for 2012 includes an aggressive strategy into the content side of the industry. The company will put a premium focus on native 3D, creating branded content for their sponsors, original series from film makers, and a concentration on health and educational videos in 3D. Their plans also include the creation of  a 3D Lab to produce original content, as well as educating film makers on the process of making 3D videos. Previously, the company provided equipment and education to many young film makers to help them provide content for the site, and the creation of the lab is a furtherance of this process. According to Davimos, "User generated content will always be a huge factor in our success, however, we are in such an early stage of the industry that most affordable hardware needed to make 3D  content will not reach critical mass until 2014. There is great equipment on the market but it is expensive, and the editing process can be complicated. We have developed a grass roots strategy to work with young film makers and give them the tools to create content through our 3D lab, as the market grows we will have the most proficient film makers in the space. Working with these talented people will give us an unrivaled user experience on the site, as well as making us leaders in content creation."
