Enlightened Releases a Streamlined System for DC Criminal Justice Community

Enlightened, Inc. implements system to integrate several DC criminal justice agencies to electronically file a criminal case

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Enlightened, Inc. ("Enlightened"), a leading provider of Information Technology (IT) consulting services in public safety, announced today the release of a robust record sharing system for DC criminal justice community.  The system parallels the actual case filing processes, electronically moving arrest data from the police department to the prosecutors and then case data from the prosecutors to the courts. Other agencies are able to participate within the process in order to receive arrest and case filing notifications.

The previous process required duplicate entry of information and travel by public safety personnel to other criminal justice offices to obtain the required paperwork. The new approach saves time, increases data accuracy, and provides the ability to measure the performance of the arrest and case filing activity.  Washington, DC is looking at expanding this solution to include other common criminal justice's activities.

It has been noted by the DC Superior Courts that, "the case filing process as well as communication with other agencies has improved four times over." Furthermore, this is the first time that prosecutors have been able to file cases electronically and drastically reduce the amount of time that it takes to file. According to Andre Rogers, Enlightened's Vice President, "I am very proud of the role Enlightened has played in increasing public safety for the citizens of our nation's capital I believe that many of our country's cities can benefit from the work we have done in Washington, DC."

Robbins Brothers Holiday Campaign Helps Couples Share Traffic-Stopping Love Notes on Facebook and A Digital Billboard

With its new Facebook application, Robbins Brothers, a leading engagement ring store invites couples to share personal love notes for the world to see on a digital billboard.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- With a new Share The Love campaign to headline its holiday marketing endeavors, Robbins Brothers, The Engagement Ring Store gives couples a chance to publically express their love for each other on a 14' x 48' digital billboard that can be shared on social networks with family and friends. Anyone can create a personalized message for their significant other by accessing the company's newly designed Share The Love Facebook application and submitting a romantic, silly, fun, serious, unique or even abstract message up to 75 characters.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111116/LA08280)

Once the love message has been submitted, a virtual billboard will appear on the author's screen immediately, and within 24 to 48 hours the message will appear on the digital billboard for a total of 8 seconds. A photo will be instantly taken with the camera attached to the billboard and emailed to the author, who can then share it with loved ones on Facebook, other social networks or by email.

Robbins Brothers conducted a soft launch for the campaign a few days ago and has already received nearly 100 submissions. Some of the recent ones include: "Congratulations to Brian & Crystal! Happily married 11-11-11" by Reverend G, "Jes I love you with all my heart! Can't wait for you to come home" by Brenda S., and "I love YOU PETER CHOI!! To Neptune and back, forever and a day" by Laurah E. The billboard is visible to 180,000 freeway commuters in the westbound lanes on Highway 91. As inland residents travel to and from work in Orange County and Los Angeles, they will enjoy sweet expressions of love submitted by romantics across the world.

The digital billboard love note concept was developed by Robbins Brothers' creative agency G&M Plumbing who felt the campaign would resonate with those at every stage in a relationship. "Whether the couple just started dating a few weeks ago or has been married for over 10 years, this is a perfect way to let your loved one know how special they are to you," said Glenn Miller, partner/co-creative director. "It literally takes just a few moments to create and it's a really fun and unique experience to share with friends."

"We're always looking for engaging ways to help couples celebrate their romance," commented Larry Gomperts, executive vice president of marketing for Robbins Brothers. "There is no better time than the holidays to profess your love and share it with the people closest to you. We're excited to offer our customers this opportunity.

True to Montblanc's commitment to the support of arts & culture, artists have been commissioned to create generative artwork inspired by the world of Montblanc which can be viewed on the newly launched website.

"The launch of a transactional website is an exciting phase in Montblanc's very long history.

Presented by film-director Wim Wenders, The Beauty of a Second is an online tribute to this small unit of time. Everyone is invited to capture beauty in a one-second-long video and upload it. The task is to "seize the moment" and catch a second that the author considers beautiful. Online, people can vote for the best one-second videos, from amongst which Wim Wenders and his jury will pick a winner.

In fact, this deal, if approved, means that we'll be able to expand the next generation of mobile broadband - 4G LTE - from our current plan of 80 percent of the Illinois and U.S.  population to more than 97 percent."

"Broadband is key to economic growth today and tomorrow, and that's why I have supported modernizing Illinois' telecom laws to attract more private investment in broadband networks.  Today's announcement shows our new policy is working," said State Sen. Mike Frerichs.  "We appreciate the additional private sector investment from AT&T into our corner of Illinois.  This is great news for Danville and the surrounding communities."

"We are living in a wireless world.  More access to mobile broadband will bring more jobs to our communities," said State Rep.

AT&T Expands Mobile Broadband Wireless Capacity in Eau Claire

Additional Spectrum Expected to Improve Connectivity and Performance of Mobile Broadband Data and Voice Connectivity

EAU CLAIRE, Wis., Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Customers in Eau Claire are expected to experience improved mobile broadband coverage and voice performance as a result of continued investment and innovation by AT&T*. The company announced today that it has completed a key initiative in its ongoing efforts to enhance the wireless capacity and performance of its mobile broadband network throughout the Eau Claire area.

The network enhancement adds new layers of capacity, also known as "carriers," to 24 cell sites throughout Eau Claire to more efficiently manage available spectrum and increase mobile broadband capacity. The expansion helps manage ever-growing demand for mobile broadband services by allocating more network resources for AT&T's mobile broadband network. AT&T has invested more than $100 million in its wireless and wireline network in Wisconsin in the first 6 months of 2011.

"Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience. As part of the Eau Claire community, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide an enhanced customer experience and our investment in the local wireless network is just one way we're accomplishing that," said Scott VanderSanden, president of AT&T Wisconsin. "In addition, our recently announced agreement to acquire T-Mobile USA will strengthen and expand our network in Eau Claire. If approved, this deal means that we'll be able to expand the next generation of mobile broadband - 4G LTE - from our current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to more than 97 percent."

"We want you to have an extraordinary experience whether you are sharing videos and photos with friends, watching a movie, checking the latest scores, or keeping your business mobile on your AT&T device," said Dave Fine, AT&T vice president and general manager for AT&T in Wisconsin and Illinois. "Smartphones, tablets and laptops are continuing to drive unprecedented demand for wireless access everywhere. We're investing in a combination of technologies right here in Eau Claire to meet these needs and ensure an advanced broadband experience for all our customers."

AT&T's mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the best international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, providing access to voice service in more than 225 countries and data service in more than 200 countries.

AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network** with more than 29,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to nearly 190,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements.

- 4G LTE provides data speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G service

- Users can expect average download speeds between 5-12 Mbps and average upload speeds between 2-5 Mbps

NEWBURGH, N.Y.,Nov. 16, 2011/PRNewswire/ --Starting tomorrow, Verizon Wireless customers in the Orange County, NY area will be able to surf the Web, download large files, and share music and photos at speeds up to ten times faster than before with the company's 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) high-speed data network. The new network will be available in the Goshen, Monroe, Montgomery, Newburgh, Warwick and West Point areas, and along the I-87 corridor. Additional local cell sites will get the technology over the next several months, expanding and filling in coverage further. Full nationwide deployment of the company's 4G LTE network is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2013.

"Our 4G LTE network will change the way our customers in Orange County and the Hudson Valley think about and use wireless technology," said Russ Preite, president of Verizon Wireless' Upstate New York Region. "By bringing true fourth-generation wireless technology to the area, we're giving our local consumer and business customers the ability to enjoy a much more powerful and robust wireless data experience. That will translate into greater productivity, expanded business opportunities, and exciting new entertainment options."

In real-world, fully-loaded network environments, Verizon Wireless customers will be able to use their 4G LTE smartphones, tablets, notebooks, laptop modems and mobile hotspots to experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink - perfect for surfing the Web, streaming video, and downloading large files wirelessly.

Verizon Wireless' network is the largest 4G LTE network in the nation and was just named the 'Fastest 4G Network Yet' by Popular Science's Best of What's New awards and ranked No. 1 on PC World's100 Best Products of 2011.

Verizon Wireless introduced the globe's first large-scale LTE network on December 5, 2010 covering more than 110 million Americans. The 4G LTE network will be available in 179 cities covering more than 186 million Americans tomorrow. The service launched in the Rochester and New York City markets in December; in the Albany, Syracuse and Ithaca areas in August; and in Buffalo in October. When customers travel outside of a 4G LTE coverage area, their 4G devices automatically connect to Verizon Wireless' 3G network, enabling them to stay connected from coast to coast.

As the first wireless company in the world to broadly deploy game-changing 4G LTE technology, Verizon Wireless is committed to building its 4G network with the same performance and reliability for which it has long been recognized.  Verizon Wireless' consistent focus on reliability is based on rigid engineering standards and a disciplined deployment approach year after year.  The company's 700 MHz spectrum gives Verizon Wireless specific advantages with 4G, including a contiguous, nationwide network license.

Virtela Wins Prestigious 2011 World Communication Award for Best Cloud Service

Cloud-based Application Acceleration Service, Powered by Virtela Enterprise Services Cloud (ESC), Recognized for Outstanding Customer Benefit and Market Appeal

DENVER, Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtela, the world's largest independent managed network, security and cloud services company, today announced it has been named a winner of the 2011 World Communication Awards (WCAs) for its Cloud-based Application Acceleration Service, the industry's first virtual managed application acceleration service.

One of the most coveted communications industry awards, the WCAs honor companies responsible for the innovations, achievements and outstanding new services that are helping to build tomorrow's industry. Virtela won the fiercely competitive Best Cloud Service category, and was named a finalist for Best Global Operator and Best New Enterprise Service, for its Cloud-based Mobile Device Management solution.

In describing why Virtela was selected for one of the highest accolades in the industry, the independent panel of WCA judges praised the "excellent and relevant customer testimonials" for Virtela's Cloud-based Application Acceleration Service, and highlighted the application performance guarantees offered by the service as well as overall benefits for multi-location companies.

"Virtela was made for the cloud, and the cloud for Virtela," commented one judge.

Powered by Virtela's breakthrough Enterprise Services Cloud (ESC) architecture, the world's first open platform for cloud IT services, the Cloud-based Application Acceleration Service boosts business application performance up to 25 times without any upfront cost. With instant service delivery via 50 Virtela Local Cloud Centers (LCCs) strategically located around the world, the service can be activated in more than 190 countries at a fraction of the cost of on-premise solutions. As a result, enterprises can escape the high costs and complexity of deploying and maintaining dedicated hardware at each branch office while improving end-user satisfaction and productivity. The service is backed by the industry's only application response time guarantee: If customers are not satisfied with the performance improvement, they do not pay; Virtela will pay them 250% of the service fee.

Virtela's application acceleration service has the unique ability to boost response times and productivity anywhere around the world without adding bandwidth, equipment or support staff, said one global manufacturing customer, who reports that the service slashed transfer times for CAD files from 8 hours to just 20 minutes -- ultimately saving the company $2 million per month in engineering resource costs.

Virtela ESC is the only independent cloud platform available today, meaning application acceleration and other service benefits can be exploited regardless of the underlying transport provider and will work across any public, private or hybrid network. This innovation further opens the door to widespread adoption of application acceleration across the enterprise, which has been hampered by the high capex, complexity and closed architectures of traditional approaches.

"We are honored to receive recognition from such a distinguished industry body as the WCAs," said Ron Haigh, Virtela's vice president of customer solutions and cloud architecture. "This award is a key milestone in the success of our cloud network services strategy. It's truly a testament to the outstanding innovations and extraordinary customer support of our employees, which results in tangible business benefits for every customer while easing their transition to cloud services."

Introduced in 2010, Virtela's Cloud-based Application Acceleration Service continues to earn recognition from prominent industry bodies as well as customers who are reaping the benefits. Recently, the service also won the Communications Solutions Product of the Year, the GTB Innovation Award and the Frost and Sullivan Product Leadership Award.

Winners of the 13th annual World Communication Awards were honored at a gala dinner in London on November 7, 2011.

Ethertronics' New EtherSmart LTE 1.0 Enables Consistently High Performance for LTE Devices

Expected in Commercially Available Devices by Year's End, Phone Adaptive Antenna Solution Enables High Performance in Compact Form Factors

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ethertronics, a leading technology company enabling innovative antenna and RF solutions to deliver the best connected experience, today announced its EtherSmart LTE 1.0 Phone Adaptive Antenna solution for smartphones and tablets. EtherSmart LTE 1.0 enables OEMs to accommodate the trend toward compact form factors, without tradeoffs in data and video performance; through the use of advanced active impedance matching techniques.

EtherSmart LTE 1.0 features an advanced open loop design, which provides much of the benefits of a closed loop design, but a more efficient, cost-effective approach.  Through the use of an active impedance matching design, characteristics of the antenna/RF performance can be adapted to the environment experienced by the antenna.

The design benefits of EtherSmart LTE 1.0 include:

    --  Highly compact size. EtherSmart LTE 1.0 can reduce the antenna's
        physical volume by 50 percent while ensuring that devices still maintain
        compliance with standards such as 3GPP Release 8 (LTE). As a result,
        OEMs can meet the demand for compact devices, without performance
        tradeoffs.  The gain in physical volume in the mobile device can either
        be used to save space or add functionality not otherwise possible.
    --  Offsetting body effects.  The EtherSmart LTE 1.0 advanced design
        supports the ability to compensate for the detuning of the antenna
        system due to hand and head effects.  This has been recognized as a
        common phenomenon in all mobile devices.  The range of detuning will
        vary and this solution can adapt to ensure highest performance possible
        to support high quality voice, video, or data.

"EtherSmart LTE 1.0 enables device vendors to rapidly develop LTE smartphones and tablets that deliver consistently high performance across multiple bands and under a wide variety of environmental conditions," said Laurent Desclos, CEO of Ethertronics. "The introduction of EtherSmart LTE 1.0 further underscores our expertise in understanding the overall RF system and our ability to bring to market advanced antenna system architectures that provide optimal performance and connectivity."

EtherSmart LTE 1.0 is expected to be available in a commercial wireless device by the end of this year.

ShopAtHome.com Introduces the "2011 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Savings Guide"

New survey shows 58% of consumers plan to shop online on Black Friday

DENVER, Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ShopAtHome.com, the largest free coupons and cash back site on the web, today released its 2011 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Savings Guide containing exclusive survey data on how to save the most cash this holiday season. Since Americans are more apt than ever to use coupons and search for the best deals this year, ShopAtHome.com recently surveyed more than 1,000 consumers to determine trends in holiday shopping and savings. The survey results as well as ShopAtHome.com's predictions about this season's shopping trends and savings tips that will help Americans make the most of their holiday budgets are included in its 2011 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Savings Guide. To view the entire report and trend graphics, please visit http://www.shopathome.com/press-releases/2011-savings-guide.aspx.

"Today, saving money on purchases by using coupons, cash back and other methods is just the cool thing to do," said Marc Braunstein, founder and president of ShopAtHome.com, "and this is best shown by how traffic to our web site has more than doubled this past year.  We collected survey data from our very savvy shoppers as to the best ways to save this holiday season, and then combined these findings with data from our top retailers to form our 2011 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Savings Guide.  Bottom line, there are secrets to saving, and our Guide does a great job of highlighting some key savings tips."

Highlights from the 2011 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Savings Guide include:

ShopAtHome.com's predictions for the 2011 holiday shopping season:

    1. Don't wait until Black Friday to get started! We expect online retailers
       will leak their Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals earlier than ever
       this year. So, while the rest of the world is waiting for late November
       to get started, savvy shoppers will be online, placing their orders for
       the best deals to be had.
    2. Expect to see a lot of "exclusive" deals released through social
       networks. Retailers want to thank their fans and followers for their
       loyalty so we expect those "thank yous" to come in the form of exclusive
       access to holiday deals shared via Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
    3. Cash back shopping will be more popular than ever. Coupon and Cash Back
       sites like ShopAtHome.com will experience significantly more traffic this
       season as consumers seek to save money in every way possible.
       ShopAtHome.com has set up a Black Friday Deals page and a Cyber Monday
       Deals page on its site to share all of the coupons and cash back deals
       available at popular retailers on these busy shopping days.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday Survey Highlights:

ShopAtHome.com recently surveyed more than 1,000 of its members to gather feedback about their holiday shopping plans. A few of the results include:

    --  80% of consumers plan to shop on Black Friday
    --  58% of consumers plan to do some online shopping on Black Friday
        --  21% say they will exclusively shop online on Black Friday while 37%
            plan to do a combination of in-store and online shopping
    --  72% of consumers plan to shop on Cyber Monday
    --  48% of consumers expect to save at least $100 on their holiday shopping
        this year by using coupons and earning cash back online
    --  59% of shoppers say they will only shop online where they can get free
        shipping

ShopAtHome.com's tips to save big on holiday shopping:

    1. After the turkey, get online to check out the deals. Our data sources
       indicate that most major retailers will be starting sales earlier than
       ever this year. We expect to see more Black Friday sales start on
       Thanksgiving Day than ever before, and some major retailers will even
       leak their deals weeks before!
    2. Remember that "midnight" is different for every time zone. Historically,
       the best deals always go first, especially those that start at midnight.
       But midnight in New York is only 9:00 pm in Los Angeles. Be sure to look
       for a countdown timer on the retailer's website so you can be ready the
       moment the sale starts.
    3. Double up on savings! Use ShopAtHome.com to maximize your savings. You
       can double or triple your savings by using a coupon code and earning Cash
       Back on your purchase.
    4. "Like" or be a "Follower." Major retailers are promoting unbeatable deals
       via Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and email newsletters. Don't miss out on
       these savings alerts! ShopAtHome.com will be sharing and re-tweeting the
       best online deals on its own Facebook, Twitter and Google+ pages.
    5. Take advantage of in-store pickup.  Not only do you get free shipping
       when you select in-store pick-up, but the store can "store" your gifts
       for you so you don't have to hide them in the back of your closet.
    6. Stick to a budget by using gift cards.  A good way to stick to a budget
       while shopping online is to actually use gift cards rather than just buy
       them for others.  You can easily find gift cards for hundreds of
       different places right at your local grocery store, or you even buy gift
       cards online and have them shipped to you or delivered via email (and
       earn cash back when you do!).  When you no longer have money on your gift
       cards, it means your holiday shopping is over.
    7. Compare product prices across retailers.  If you already know what
       product you want to give, use a product comparison engine that helps you
       find the best net price for that product, inclusive of coupons, cash
       back, and shipping.  ShopAtHome.com recently released a first of its kind
       new product comparison function that incorporates coupons, cash back and
       shipping from thousands of leading internet stores. Visit ShopAtHome.com
       and search for the top products on your Black Friday shopping list.
