CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT) has announced that International Launch Services has successfully launched ViaSat-1, the highest capacity satellite in the world. The Proton M launch vehicle lifted off from pad 39 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, at 11:48 am (PDT) October 19, followed by spacecraft separation from the launch vehicle at 9:12 pm, signal acquisition shortly thereafter, and finally deployment of both the north and south solar arrays.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20091216/VIASATLOGO)

ViaSat-1 is designed to transform the economics and quality of service that satellite broadband can provide. The technology is expected to elevate satellite into a much more competitive position in the broadband service marketplace, with the capacity to serve the accelerating growth in bandwidth demand for multimedia Internet access over the next decade. The complete system also includes the ViaSat SurfBeam® 2 ground system, already delivering high-speed broadband to Europe via Eutelsat's KA-SAT.

"The launch of ViaSat-1 is the result of a fantastic team effort by all of the 2,000-plus people at ViaSat. We've come a long, long way, and we believe this satellite, combined with the skills and resources we've assembled throughout the company, will give a big boost to the satellite industry and our customers," said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. "We really appreciate the support of our launch team - ILS, Krunichev, Loral, and Telesat - in bringing it to fruition.

"The ViaSat-1 launch is a big step in fulfilling our vision for advanced Ka-band networks. We aim to begin consumer service by the end of 2011, and in-flight WiFi service on JetBlue next year, along with several other new, exciting applications."

ILS President, Frank McKenna said, "It is always an honor to be entrusted to launch any of our customers' satellites on ILS Proton. With ViaSat-1, it is especially so, as we support ViaSat's innovative business plan for expanded high-speed broadband services with the launch of the most powerful all Ka-band satellite ever built. On behalf of ILS and Khrunichev, we congratulate ViaSat on achieving this milestone in enhancing the availability and quality of high-speed broadband across North America and Hawaii."

The next steps to commercial service (all times approximate):

    --  Raise the satellite to geosynchronous orbit - 10 days after launch
    --  Deploy the antenna reflectors - immediately following arrival in geo
        orbit
    --  Complete in-orbit testing (IOT) - 60 days after launch
    --  Handover of satellite from SS/L to ViaSat - upon completion of IOT
    --  Arrive on station at 115 degrees W - one week following final IOT

Once on station, the ViaSat-1 high-capacity Ka-band spot beam satellite will include coverage over North America and Hawaii, enabling a variety of new, high-speed broadband services for WildBlue in the U.S. and Xplornet through Telesat in Canada. ViaSat-1 joins WildBlue-1, Anik F2, and AMC-15 as capacity available for provision of WildBlue high-speed Internet access across America.

BTI Systems Introduces proNX(TM) SLA Portal for Service Providers to Enhance Mobile Backhaul and Ethernet Business Services

Intuitive Web-based Service Assurance Solution Exceeds Industry Requirements for Service Level Agreements

OTTAWA, Ontario, Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- BTI Systems, the networking company that creates high-capacity application-aware service infrastructures for the metro, today introduced its proNX(TM) SLA Portal, a powerful, intuitive web-based solution providing comprehensive service assurance and performance monitoring for mobile backhaul service providers.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110228/CL55052LOGO )

The market opportunity for mobile backhaul solutions is expanding as mobile users require anywhere, anytime access to multimedia content and applications. Consumers are less tolerant of service delays and expect high-quality service; wireless providers have established mandatory requirements for Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for wholesale providers delivering high-capacity Ethernet-based mobile backhaul services.

"Mobile backhaul Service Level Agreements are the most stringent service commitments that a wholesale based operator is required to provide, and yet monitoring them effectively sometimes gets overlooked in the rush to deploy," said Managing Partner at Bridgeway Partners, Mo Youssefi. "As the demand for mobile network resources continues to grow, efficient and accurate monitoring to ensure compliance is critical to any backhaul offering. BTI Systems' proNX SLA Portal is the best circuit monitoring tool I've seen in the 12 years that Bridgeway has been helping operators deploy transport services."

Delivering real-time access to SLA data, the proNX SLA Portal allows wholesale providers to capitalize on the growing mobile backhaul business opportunity while providing the necessary assurance to mobile service providers that their customers will receive a high quality experience. A component of BTI Systems proNX Management Suite for converged packet-optical networks, the proNX SLA Portal meets mandatory requirements for mobile backhaul and offers differentiation for Ethernet business services.

Leveraging the ITU Y.1731 standard, the proNX SLA Portal exceeds requirements of wireless and wireline providers and delivers the component critical to build a mobile backhaul business and provide added value for Ethernet business services and content delivery networks by enabling service providers to deliver and ensure tiered services. The proNX SLA Portal delivers the following key benefits:

    --  "Service-Centric" Operations Philosophy - The proNX SLA Portal includes
        the tools for SLA monitoring required by the operations staff, assists
        the engineering team with network planning tasks, and integrates into
        existing operational support systems with ease. In addition, the proNX
        SLA Portal can be used not only by wholesale providers, but by wireless
        operators too, to monitor SLAs in real-time.
    --  Flexible, Powerful and Scalable - With the ability to support up to 7000
        cell sites, the proNX SLA Portal provides end-to-end visibility of
        individual services. A range of SLA parameters, performance metrics,
        circuit details, and reports are easily customizable to meet various
        requirements.
    --  Easy to Use and Deploy - The proNX SLA Portal is a user-friendly,
        intuitive web-based tool that allows operators to drill down on
        individual services quickly. As a cloud-based solution, it can be
        implemented rapidly and eases training.
    --  Eliminates Service Impacts - The proNX SLA Portal supports user
        definable thresholds, which can eliminate potential issues before
        services are impacted. Alerts inform operators when thresholds are
        exceeded, allowing staff to react proactively before end customers are
        affected.

The proNX SLA Portal is an integral component of BTI Systems Mobile Backhaul solution, which delivers a step-by-step process to help wholesale providers build a backhaul business and manage disparate traffic. With more than 300 customers in every region of the globe, BTI Systems serves as a trusted partner and advisor to customers transitioning into the rapidly growing mobile backhaul market.

        face-tracking--quickly recognizes images as targets as they move through
        the scene and even rotate.
    --  Efficient:  D'Fusion Studio draws from a single authoring environment
        and a single set of assets (images, 3D models, scripts) to maximize
        efficiency.
    --  Comprehensive:  D'Fusion Studio boasts the unique ability to recognize
        an image from a target data store of up to 1,000 images (competitive
        solutions do not exceed a target data store of 30) - while maintaining
        the same recognition time, requiring only a slight increase in resource
        utilization (CPU, RAM).
    --  Immersive:  D'Fusion Studio's AR technology successfully blurs the lines
        between the real world and the rich digital universe of 3D allowing end
        users to deeply engage in the real-time experience without distraction
        caused by the technology.

"D'Fusion Studio uses superior AR technology to get as close as possible to erasing the line between reality and the digital world," said Total Immersion CEO Bruno Uzzan.  "Now, by making D'Fusion Studio free to all developers we've removed yet another barrier--developers are limited only by their imagination."

Showcasing the power of D'Fusion Studio and the potential of AR, Total Immersion created SkinVaders(TM)--a free game for iOS. SkinVaders is the first game to use AR to bring players into the game--literally and physically--transforming their faces into game terrain over which alien invaders, known as SkinVaders, battle for domination. Players must tap quickly to combat the SkinVaders, while popping eggs laid by the aliens.

"Demonstrating the potential of D'Fusion Studio with the SkinVaders game was an obvious choice.  Games have always pushed the limits of technology," said Uzzan. "By using Total Immersion's D'Fusion Studio Platform, game developers can build immersive worlds in which players engage."

XKL's DarkStar® Optical Transport System Testing Reveals Lowest Latency

In-depth lab testing replicates 1650km route achieving a one-way latency of 8.067 milliseconds

SEATTLE, Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- XKL, LLC, a leading-edge provider of enterprise fiber optic networking equipment, announces results from in-depth long haul fiber lab testing revealing a one-way 400Gbps data transport speed of 8.067 milliseconds on test bed spanning 1650km.  This latency measurement is inclusive of the fiber and DarkStar® optical transport equipment.  The distance of 1650km replicates the round-trip distance between New York and Chicago. These findings show XKL's DarkStar® optical transport systems achieving the fastest latency available.

Unlike typical fiber test beds that recirculate a loop of 100km of fiber, XKL runs its tests on the complete route distance of fiber, inclusive of equipment.  As a result, XKL brings the field into its lab to evaluate fiber imperfections and simulate worst-case conditions commonly experienced in the field. The latest test results show that XKL's DarkStar optical transport equipment and fiber latency is no more than 180 nanoseconds per in-line amplifier system and no more than 28.75 nanoseconds per optical transport system. XKL's testing methodology highlights XKL as a true innovator in the industry and showcases the engineering efforts focused on providing the lowest latency for high demand routes. 

The company's rigorous engineering and design criterion more efficiently and effectively uses the latest technology with the fewest number of components.  Unlike transport products leveraging OEO conversion for regeneration, XKL's systems engineering approach to optical transport results in products that use all optical amplification.  DarkStar products are engineered as fully integrated 1RU systems, inclusive of all required optical components.

"XKL's product line is maximizing data throughput and optimizing fiber. By replicating a real life fiber install scenario, XKL can evaluate how equipment will react against certain conditions in the field," states Len Bosack, CEO of XKL. "XKL has taken a variety of SMF-28 and SMF-28e fiber at different ages and in different conditions to get the most accurate portrayal of a true fiber installation." 

XKL is a leading-edge provider of enterprise fiber optic networking equipment. XKL is committed to providing robust, efficient and easy to deploy and manage equipment solutions.  Customers can rely on XKL to provide equipment that fits seamlessly within their networks and simplifies fiber optic networking and transmission applications.

yoddle Marketing Chief Sings Praise of Live Maps

Marketing the GPS-based Social Networking App to Combine Strategic and Tactical Techniques

SARASOTA, Fla., Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- yoddle (pronounced "yodel"), a mobile social-networking application has just launched as a free download on the Apple app store (and at http://www.yoddle.com).  yoddle is setting out to change the way people communicate and interact with those around them.  yoddle will have to do two things very well to stand out in the ever-growing crowd: do what it says it does and leverage every marketing tool in the kit.

yoddle is a GPS-based social network app that allows users ("yoddlers") to create "Scenes" at parties, games, and other events, have them appear on a live map, and then connect with each other with texts, photos, and more in real-time. Users can also use the app to locate friends and connect in real-time with them in public and private scenes.  One big differentiator for yoddle is that a user can press anywhere on the global map and create a Scene instantly. Safety features allow "yoddlers" to control their personal information and allow who can see what by assigning users to Inner and Outer Circles. yoddle offers ample privacy settings and even the ability to "go invisible" so that the user doesn't appear on yoddle's map.

Joseph Grano, yoddle's Chief Marketing Officer, feels that he has a powerful, not-so-secret weapon in his marketing kit for this one. "We can look at the yoddle map at any time and see exactly where all our users are," said Grano. The more yoddlers that are online and involved in "Scenes," the more compelling and interactive the experience becomes. "We can see when a particular city is starting to light up with new users and activity, so we can focus marketing efforts there immediately in order to fuel the fire."

To learn more about yoddle or to download the app to an iPad, iPhone, and soon to an Android device, visit yoddle.com. User-created videos about yoddle are available on our YouTube page.

About yoddle

yoddle is the fast-growing mobile social network that uses GPS location mapping to bring people together to experience real-life events in real time. Yoddlers create, find, and share "Scenes" -- live, impromptu networks centered around parties, concerts, sporting events, and anything else that's happening right now. Yoddlers use their own "yo-files" (profiles) to manage their Scenes and Circles with complete control over privacy settings and relationships. They can even go invisible at the touch of a button. yoddle also features private and public chat, messaging, and other social networking features to create a worldwide community of yoddlers who can meet up, find out, and stay completely "In the K(now)".

Personal Jesus New iPhone App Featuring a Speaking Animated Black Jesus!

It's time to wake up to a new app, it's time to get some answers, it's time to get your own Personal Jesus

IBIZA, Spain, Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- This new app will take you back to the values and wisdom that founded our world by giving you a speaking animated Jesus who delivers more than 200 quotes from the Bible directly into your iPhone or iPad. And because you will find it too precious to keep, you can share it with your friends through social networks. You can have it on alarm setting, as a reminder to start your day with a beautiful thought, or you can shake it for 'random mode', which will surprise you with different quotes.

But the main innovation of Personal Jesus lies within its unique global approach that welcomes all by offering the Gospel of Christ in four different Jesus races: white, black, Asian and Celtic.

The first release of the series includes a set of two apps:

- Personal Jesus

- Personal Jesus Black Edition

Both are available on the App Store.

Since Jesus is all around, you can watch Him walking on water or being crucified. And because he is also universal, you can have a Black Jesus sharing His Last Supper, resurrected or in heaven.

Any time. Any place. Any race. The word of Jesus lends you a hand. It's in your hands!

To learn more about this new app you can visit http://www.personaljesus.com or become a Facebook fan at http://www.facebook.com/PersonalJesusApp

About the Creator

Melian Paino (42), an Argentinian entrepeneur based on Ibiza, Spain, explains: "Jesus is universal, and his message should be able to reach anyone who wants to meditate, find strength or simply share His wisdom. And since He speaks to everyone, all people should be able to identify with Him."

According to CouponCodes.com user surveys, other online coupon code websites are hard to use and the codes often don't work. In response, CouponCodes.com hand-verifies and screens every coupon code and makes it easy to find the coupon codes, online discounts and sales that work from the leading online stores.

CouponCodes.com introduced new features to help shoppers quickly find coupon codes:

    --  Streamlined Organization - Stores and coupon codes are organized into 35
        useful categories including women's clothing, furniture, beauty, travel
        and more.  CouponCodes.com also separates coupon codes, online discounts
        and sales to make it easier for shoppers to find savings.
    --  Savings For All Seasons - CouponCodes.com introduced special sections
        for holidays including Halloween 2011 coupon codes, Black Friday 2011
        coupon codes and Cyber Monday 2011 coupon codes that bring together the
        best coupon codes and online sales for every shopping season.
    --  "Ask Robin" - Shoppers can chat or email with Robin, the CouponCodes.com
        savings expert, to ask her questions about specific online coupons from
        thousands of online stores featured on CouponCodes.com.

"CouponCodes.com is making every effort to delight online coupon users by putting the best coupons at the top of the page and creating a simple and easy way for shoppers to find coupon codes," said Kristen Carney, product manager for CouponCodes.com. "Only 11 percent of online shoppers always look for coupon codes, so the team at CouponCodes.com is focused on building a superior online coupon site to get everyone to love coupon codes as much as we do."

CouponCodes.com has done extensive research on what shoppers are looking for in a coupon site and although savings on CouponCodes.com are available to everyone, the personality of the site is designed to appeal to women. One female shopper told us, "I love the fact that your home page is so streamlined ... most coupon code sites are so overwhelming to the eyes and brain that I dread going to them. Your site was not that way at all, and I appreciate that."  Shoppers can visit CouponCodes.com and discover the best coupon codes at the very top of the site, making them extremely easy to find.

OneStopPlus.com® Launches OSP MAG®

Plus-Size Mastersite Creates Lifestyle Magazine Designed as a Manual for All Curvy Women

NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2011 - OneStopPlus.com®, a division of Redcats USA and the world's first and only web-mall for plus-size women and big & tall men, announces the launch of its first print publication dedicated to curvy women, OSP MAG®.  Distributed by OneStopPlus.com®, the first 52 page issue will be circulated to 50,000 readers nationwide. This new fashion lifestyle magazine is both entertaining and empowering as it is the only magazine to speak to curvy women in their own body language. 

The premier Fall 2011 issue will be distributed on October 9, 2011 and will feature content including inspirational celebrities, fashion, accessory and beauty trends, and fashion makeovers that motivate all women to reach for their personal best.

The magazine is edited by Nancy LeWinter, formerly a publishing executive and the current Editorial Director of OneStopPlus.com®.  LeWinter has been an innovator and visionary in the world of publishing for 20 years.  As an executive at several of the nation's most prominent magazines, including Glamour, Vogue and Marie Claire, as the first woman publisher to lead a major men's magazine, Esquire, and the creator of Mode, LeWinter has brought new sensibilities and branding opportunities to established properties.

"This isn't about problems and solutions," says LeWinter. "It's about lightening up and having some fun with fashion, with a between-us-girls attitude that gives the real scoop on everything from celebs who diet for dollars to our love/hate affair with our breasts.  With everything from reality fashion to recipes and beauty to boots, it's size inclusive rather than size specific, which provides a unique credibility and connection with consumers."                                                 

Launched in 2007, OneStopPlus.com® has created a thriving marketplace business model that features well-known proprietary brands, as well as external brands. So far in 2011, OneStopPlus.com® has amassed many external partners to its website, sending a powerful message about its ability to provide its customer with an escalating variety of styles and fashions at a great value. As a major-player at the forefront of plus-size fashion and innovation, the site once again demonstrates that it's a pioneer in the ever-changing fashion industry, proving that women who are plus-size can also experience the most advanced, high-fashion lifestyle.

"OneStopPlus.com® has consistently pushed the style envelope for plus-size women.  In 2010, we presented the first plus-size fashion show during Fashion Week, and then presented a worldwide internet fashion show.  Now, with the launch of OSP MAG®, we take it one step further by combining our expertise in plus-size fashion with quality editorial, providing the ultimate in selection and service to fashionable plus-size women," adds Jim Lofgren, VP of OneStopPlus.com®.

Advertisers for this first issue include: Fullbeauty.com, Jessica London®, Roaman's®, Woman Within®, Avenue®, FragranceNet.com, Palm Beach Jewelry, Simply Be, and BrylaneHome®.  OSP MAG® will produce a second issue for Spring 2012 with plans to expand further.

Cupid Becomes the First Dating Site to Join Facebook's Revolutionary New Mobile Ecosystem

EDINBURGH, October 20, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    As of Thursday 20 October 2011, intrepid as ever, Cupid.com will be the
very first online dating community to be available through the all-new
HTML5-based version of Facebook.

    With this new cutting-edge platform, known as 'Project Spartan'
throughout its long development period, Facebook has in effect created a
social ecosystem, which all of its 700+ million users can download directly
onto their iPhones and iPad devices and then use to select and run whichever
apps they choose, directly from inside Facebook.

    This result? When users download Facebook's groundbreaking platform,
they will be able to add apps that link them directly to their favourite
dating site/sites with merely the lightest touch of their fingers.

    There will be apps available for Cupid.com as well as all of its partner
sites, including:

    - girlsdateforfree.com

    - datetheuk.com

    - flirt.com

    All current members plus each new online dater will be able to add any
individual app--or even all of these new apps--to their rich, new Facebook
content platform and instantly use them with their iPhone and iPad devices.

    Each of these apps provides the best way yet of accessing and utilising
the myriad features of Cupid's extensive dating services, and now these
features can be conveniently accessed through the one place the UK spends
the majority of its time online.

    Through Cupid.com and all its partners' existing apps, users can
currently:

    - Enjoy an easy-to-use, mobile-friendly interface

    - View photos of thousands of men and women

    - Create a free, basic profile

    - Explore contacts in all major cities and countries

    - Receive messages from interested people

    - Search for singles in specific geographic locations

    - Have access to online dating when they're on the go

    Cupid.com is incredibly proud to be the very first online dating
community to make the move onto this new Facebook platform and can add it to
its steadily-growing portfolio of user-friendly apps, which include its
iPhone app [http://itunes.apple.com/bw/app/my-cupid/id435077333?mt=8 ] and
iPad app.

    What is particularly exciting for people using Apple products is that
all these apps are available for download directly through this new
content-focused version of Facebook for mobile. This means that users will
no longer need to go through iTunes to obtain and start using their online
dating app.

    The dating world had better watch out, as this combination of the
world's most popular social network and the best online dating community in
the world is going to start picking off singles by the minute.

    Since it burst onto the online dating industry scene in 2005, Cupid has
built a base of over 34 million members in 39 countries and is now a strong,
proud market leader.

TAAP Advantage Mobile Technology Goes 'Lite'

LONDON, October 20, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    TAAP Advantage - an enterprise mobile product/service delivery solution
- has just been released in 'professional' and 'lite' versions. Advantage
can be used across all industries and sectors but it is most well-known for
its use in the automotive market for vehicle demo and vehicle movement
requests.

    Steve Higgon, Product Architect, said "Advantage is in use within the
automotive market and the benefits have been leveraged with enterprise
integration into sophisticated planning and scheduling systems." However, he
commented further "We have been approached by small dealer groups, local
vehicle rental companies, and couriers, for solutions that deliver the
benefits of the technology without the complexity of back office
integration. So we've now released a 'professional' and 'lite' version."

    Advantage comes with a pre-defined automotive vehicle movement form,
which was created using TAAP's market experience within this sector. The
technology can be adapted to the most exacting of vehicle checks and is the
same technology TAAP provides to all its clients - it was also supplied to
the RAC for its inspection services in the UK.

    An enterprise variant of TAAP Advantage has been deployed by DHL Inside
Track as a tool to support their fleet demo service programme.

    Dealers, transport groups, local car rental organisations etc. can use
it for vehicle handover requests. It can also be used as an acceptance
certificate solution for leasing and finance houses.

    Advantage 'lite' and 'professional' versions are designed to augment
existing processes and simply replace paper. Other USPs include being able
to email pdf files of the completed documentation to clients, and the
built-in Vehicle on Route technology (TAAP VORTEX(TM)) which improves
customer service. Whether organisations are delivering an item or making a
service visit, this system informs the customer by text message using GPS
technology, when the driver of the vehicle is in close proximity to them
(i.e. 5 miles, 10 miles for example). Read more:

    TAAP's applications are designed to get clients up and running in a
matter of weeks, and because the company also provides appropriate devices
and airtime through its network of partners, customers are able to purchase
the entire TAAP Advantage solution as a package.

organisations to mobilise their operations using hand held computers.

Acision Launches Enhanced Personalised Messaging Services on-Demand

READING, England, October 20, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Personalised messaging services optimised for the cloud to ensure faster
delivery time and scalability to match user demand

    Acision, the global leaders in mobile messaging, today announced that
its enhanced personalised messaging services are now available from within
the Acision cloud. As part of Acision's Cloud Service Store, personalised
messaging will be the first set of services offered from a library of proven
and innovative value-added services on demand. Acision will continue to
launch a series of cloud-based services over the coming months, which
operators can quickly and cost-effectively offer to users to encourage
increased service uptake and customer satisfaction while driving up ARPU.

    Mobile messaging is at the heart of mobile operators' service offerings
and still has enormous growth potential if packaged and leveraged in the
right way. To ensure continued growth, Acision has introduced a number of
proven personalised messaging services now optimised for cloud delivery,
which have the potential to increase messaging revenues by 15%. By launching
these services in the cloud, mobile operators can rapidly capitalise on high
levels of subscriber interest in personalised messaging services and scale
costs as service usage grows. This balance of service utilisation and costs
assures more predictable profit margins for the operator.

    Jorgen Nilsson, Chief Executive at Acision, commented: "Acision's cloud
based personalised messaging services provide operators with significant
growth potential addressing the unique needs of different subscriber
segments and making messaging an even more personal and valued medium.
Acision recognised that operators can profit from value added services in
the cloud by easily launching innovative services which increase customer
stickiness and initiate new revenue streams. We launched our Cloud Services
Delivery Model to ensure that operators can take advantage of easily
monetised messaging services with minimum expenditure and investment. This
model is particularly important as we move to an IP messaging world with new
and novel messaging features, which operators will want to launch rapidly
for fast user adoption and revenue generation."

    Today the Acision Cloud Personalised Messaging Services library includes
Group Messaging, Auto-Reply and Auto-Signature, Message Copy, Personalised
Black / White list, Distribution List, Multi-SIM, Alias and Divert.

    Acision's Auto-Reply and Auto-Signature capitalise on widely adopted
email behaviour by sending automatic replies or signatures, a service which
is perfect for enterprise customers. Similarly, Message Copy is an ideal
enterprise feature which allows users to automatically copy or forward
messages onto other devices. Acision Distribution List, meanwhile, enables a
subscriber to send a single message to multiple destinations which have been
grouped into a list by selecting a predefined destination address. The
service generates large volumes of messaging traffic for the operators and
appeals to high ARPU customers.

    More personalised services include Acision Personalised Black/White
Listing, which address subscriber privacy and/or parental control concerns
by allowing subscribers to selectively control communications streams
through time and content service rules. For example, white lists can be used
as the "trusted" list for parental control and black lists can be created
where users want messages blocked. Finally, Acision Nickname/Alias enables
the user to mask a mobile number with an alias or nickname, providing a
heightened level of personalisation to the messaging experience.

    Nilsson concluded: "Launching our proven personalised messaging services
in the cloud is just the start of a clear roadmap of services which we will
launch over the coming months, ensuring we continually add value to the
operator and their customers. The fact that these services are based in the
cloud means that operators can easily trial services with early adopters and
refine them accordingly to increase the likelihood of wider uptake."

    For more information about Acision's Cloud Based Personalised Messaging
Services, please visit: http://www.acision.com/cloud

    Please join Acision representatives at Open Mobile Summit 2011, 2nd -
4th November, in San Francisco, where the team will be on hand to discuss
how the Acision Cloud Services Delivery Model works, the messaging services
that will be hosted in the Acision Cloud and how operators can take
advantage of these. Acision will also speak on: Monetising the Cloud: The
Next Generation of Multi-VAS.
