NICE Situator Enables Portugal's Largest Bank, Millennium bcp With Situation Management Capabilities, Consolidating the Security Operations of Approximately 900 Branches and Buildings

Bank Begins Production; Now Enabled With a Holistic View of Security Situations, the Bank Can React to Security Events in a Much More Efficient, Effective and Economic Way, Leveraging All its Legacy Security Systems Investments

RA'ANANA, Israel, May 16, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --     NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), today announced that Portugal's largest
private bank, Millennium bcp, has launched production of the NICE Situator
open situation management solution to increase the effectiveness and
efficiency of its physical security monitoring and response. The NICE
solution is enabling the bank to reduce operational costs and optimize the
alignment of its corporate physical security policies, standards and
procedures across hundreds of branches in Portugal. NICE partner Diebold
Portugal is the system integrator for the project.

    Vitor Monteiro, head of Physical Security at Millennium bcp, said,
"Deployment of the NICE Situator solution allows Millennium bcp to fully
integrate and centralize the bank's various physical security systems. Our
new control room operation was built through the integration of NICE Situator
in our IT systems architecture and implementing smarter situation management
solutions. There are many benefits. This integration provides us with
important operational cost savings. At the same time, the solution's advanced
workflows and rules enables us to reduce the number of false alarms, for
greater efficiency and effectiveness. Thanks to Situator we are able to track
and enforce compliance with the bank's policies and regulations, provide
reports to the management and support constant improvement. We have been
consistently impressed with the excellent support we receive from the NICE
team, and how easy it makes implementing the bank's procedures."

    The security situation management needs of banks are many. Among these
are intrusion, invalid access control and tampering, robberies, alarm panel
communications failure and 'Early Disarm' and 'Late Arm' Situations. With
NICE Situator, Millennium bcp addresses these situations by receiving
automatic alarms with information on what has occurred. The NICE solution
does this by leveraging the existing Alarm Panels infrastructure and
extracting additional intelligence from already available data. The solution
also automatically connects a call between control room personnel and the
appropriate individual at the relevant branch. It also automatically places
calls to external agencies if needed, such as local city police. Furthermore,
it presents step-by-step instructions to the bank's security personnel on how
to handle the situation.

    Shlomi Cohen, President of NICE EMEA, said, "We are pleased to enable
this leading bank with security situation management capabilities tailored
specifically for financial institutions and branches. By enabling automated
situation management, response planning and analysis in real time the bank
ensures the safety of its clients and personnel. Additionally, leveraging its
expertise in complex software security system integration, our Partner
Diebold Portugal was key for the success of this project at Millennium bcp."

    Mr.Cohen continued, "The complete portfolio of NICE solutions when
leveraged together, can further help banks enhance fraud prevention by
leveraging information about suspicious employee transactions identified by
the NICE Actimize anti-fraud solutions with physical security information
such as access control and video surveillance. Thus, a complete and accurate
picture of internal fraud is provided allowing for early detection and
effective investigation."

    For Millennium bcp, NICE Situator is deployed on Millennium bcp's
corporate network and monitors approximately 900 branches and other buildings
throughout Portugal. The NICE solution is integrated with a wide array of
bank sensors and security systems, including video surveillance, access
control, intrusion and fire alarm panels, fire detection systems, as well as
VoIP, text messaging and email gateways. NICE Situator merges data from these
sensors into a common operating picture, analyzing and correlating this
information, then applying standard operating procedures and automated
response plans.

    The NICE Security Offering addresses the needs of governments and
enterprises with intent-based solutions for fighting crime and terror, by
anticipating, managing and mitigating safety, security and operational risks.

Laplink® Releases New Data Protection Software

PC Lock(TM) protects users from identity theft, privacy invasion and significant financial loss.

BELLEVUE, Wash., May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Laplink Software, Inc. today announced the release of PC Lock(TM), cutting edge data encryption software with cloud management and high security encryption to protect sensitive data from hackers and thieves.

According to research conducted by Ponemon Institute, Gartner and Intel, over 1,700 laptops are stolen every day and someone's identity is stolen every 2 seconds. Files on a PC that are not encrypted are at constant danger of theft, increasing the user's risk of identity theft, privacy invasion and significant financial loss.

PC Lock uses the latest in remote services with a cloud-based Web Management Console. With this unique console, users can modify preferences, change settings, reset passwords, lock the data on a missing or stolen PC and remotely delete sensitive data. The Web Management Console is accessible from any web-enabled device, including smartphones, allowing management from virtually anywhere, even if the user is on the go; no need to rely on live customer support as with other products.

PC Lock also features multiple levels of security, a sophisticated EKE "Encrypted Key Encryption" approach with military-grade 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), providing the most secure and simplest data security solutions available.

"Data protection is critical to any PC user as identity theft continues to rise," said Laplink CEO Thomas Koll. "PC Lock ensures data is not able to be accessed by unauthorized persons which significantly reduces the risk of identity theft."

PC Lock utilizes a simple wizard that walks users through installation, configuration and encryption of their PC's data. After installation, PC Lock encrypts files automatically in the background without degrading the PC's performance. Files are unencrypted when opened and re-encrypted when saved. The result is a simple-to-use but powerful tool with real-time, always-on protection.

Encrypted data is locked behind the PC Lock password, which is separate from the Windows login. This has two important benefits: if you forget your PC Lock password, you can still log into Windows and access the Web Management Console to reset your password; and secondly, it adds another level of security guarding against cold boot hacks and pre-boot login problems.

"We made the process as easy and user friendly as possible," explained Koll. "Encryption can be a confusing, difficult and sometimes scary process. By enabling cloud management, users have constant control over what is encrypted and how they want PC Lock to operate, eliminating the fear and confusion from the encryption process."

Files and folders on a PC remain protected even if the PC is lost or stolen. Users can trigger a remote wipe of their encrypted data from the Web Management Console, preventing access of stolen files. Even if the thief pulls the hard drive from the PC and never accesses the Internet, the data remains encrypted and inaccessible. PC Lock is also compatible with other security software, so it can provide an extra layer of protection and complement existing safeguards a user may already have in place or add in the future.

Because Laplink is celebrating its 28th anniversary, the full version of PC Lock is free for the first 24 hours after launch at http://www.laplink.com/pclocklaunch. Following the launch giveaway, it will be sold at a discounted rate of $14.95, regularly $29.95 at http://www.laplink.com/pclock. It is also sold in most major U.S. software retailers for the suggested retail price of $29.95.

About Laplink Software, Inc.

For nearly 30 years, Laplink has been the global leader in PC migration, file transfer, synchronization and remote access. Its innovative products and technology allow for the fastest file transfers and synchronization as well as protection from data loss and identity theft. The privately-held company was founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington.

Autonomy to Acquire Key Iron Mountain Digital Assets

Autonomy's Cloud Platform to Expand to 25 Petabytes of Customer Data, Allowing Thousands of New Customers Access to Autonomy's Advanced Technology

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, May 16, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --     Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in
infrastructure software, and Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), the
information management company, today announced a definitive agreement for
Autonomy to acquire selected key assets of Iron Mountain's digital division
including archiving, eDiscovery and online backup. For customers, this means
access to Autonomy's advanced technology for information governance in
secure, private clouds in data centers around the world.

    "We are pleased to announce this transaction, one we have been looking at
for some time, which will bring significant advancements for customers,"
commented Dr. Mike Lynch, Group CEO of Autonomy. "Processing customer data in
the cloud continues to be a strategic part of Autonomy's information
governance business. We look forward to extending regulatory compliance,
legal discovery and analytics to a host of new customers as well as enabling
the intelligent collection and processing of non-regulatory data from
distributed servers, PCs and especially tens of millions of mobile devices.
This will afford the opportunity to bring to these customers the power of
IDOL's meaning-based technology."

    Dr. Lynch continued, "In 2007 we correctly predicted the merging of
regulatory archiving and search, and we believe we are now seeing the next
phase where the convergence of regulatory archiving, back-up and data
restoration with operational processing of data in the cloud is coming to
pass. This acquisition makes Autonomy the cloud platform of choice,
processing and understanding 25 petabytes of customer information. IDOL will
allow significantly more value, analytical insight and return to be generated
for our customers from this cloud platform. This places Autonomy at the
centre of the changes in the analytics of unstructured data, processing in
the cloud-based platforms and desktop virtualization.

    We've had the opportunity to buy strong assets at an attractive
valuation, and through the application of our intelligent IDOL dark server
technology will greatly increase the efficiency of this offering. Whilst
others may be creating roadmaps around virtualizing the enterprise and
processing information in the cloud, Autonomy is already doing it in the
world's largest private cloud platform."

    Acquisition Highlights

    - Cash consideration of $380 million (subject to a final
working capital adjustment), funded from Autonomy's existing cash reserves.
Post-closing Autonomy expects to have a gross cash balance of at least $700
million.

    - Adds over six petabytes of data under management and more
than 6,000 customers to Autonomy's customer base, bringing Autonomy's private
cloud data to over 25 petabytes and total customer base to over 25,000.

    - Assets acquired include digital archiving, eDiscovery and
online backup and recovery solutions of Iron Mountain Digital, but not the
technology escrow service and a medical records archive service and other
smaller operations which were recently shut down.

    - Active Iron Mountain Digital customers will continue to be
supported without disruption.

    - Autonomy to offer Connected, the digital data protection
product, to existing Autonomy customers across enterprise server, PC and
mobile devices. The addition of this product drives non-regulatory and
structured data into our cloud-based information processing platform.

    - Expected go-forward revenues of approximately $130 million
to $140 million.

    - Expect to achieve cost synergies of approximately $40
million per annum over the first year from completion, from a combination of
efficiencies from utilization of Autonomy's IDOL server technology and
duplicative general and administrative, data center and marketing programs.

    - Restructuring costs of approximately $10 million expected in
the two quarters following completion.

    - Acquisition expected to have traditional effect on gross
margins and operating margins in first few quarters following completion with
the result of slight earnings dilution in the first quarter after close,
neutral for the full year 2011, and expected adjusted earnings per share
accretion of approximately 15% in 2012. We would expect gross margins and
operating margins to return to historical levels within one to two quarters
of completion.

    - Moderate brought forward tax losses will be assumed.

    Timetable and Financial

    The acquisition is subject to regulatory review and customary closing
conditions and is expected to close within approximately 45 to 60 days. Based
on the Iron Mountain group's audited accounts for the year ended December 31,
2010, the adjusted OIBDA (as defined in the Iron Mountain accounts)
attributable to their full worldwide digital business was $27.5 million,
whilst the profits attributable to the acquired assets for the year ended 31
December 2010 are break-even on a pro forma basis.

    A teleconference call to discuss the transaction will be hosted at
10:00a.m. BST on 16 May 2011. The call will be available live via webcast
over the World Wide Web. To access the live webcast, investors are directed
towards the investor relations section of Autonomy's website,
http://www.autonomy.com. Investors should go to the website approximately 15
minutes prior to the start time of the call to register.

"It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with Ben Sawyer again," said Ben. "I always enjoy bouncing ideas off him, because he's so innovative in the video game world. With his experience and my 'Bengineering' skills, we were able to build some great components that contribute to an awesome cause."

The episode covers key components of the game share build that features two controllers, a dance pad and a slam bar - from prepping the master controller to ensure everything works in sync, to designing a mock-up PCB accessory controller that allows children to play and learn alongside their parents, without having to worry about the complexities of the game. Ben Sawyer also helps Ben work through the design and testing process to ensure everything functions according to plan. Once complete, the two Bens and Everett were ready to get gaming!

"We were excited to see Ben bring this project to fruition," said Kevin Yapp, chief marketing officer, Premier Farnell. "The Games for Health Project is a great cause and mirrors element14's efforts to unite a community of like-minded individuals to work together toward a common goal. In this case, two Bens were even better than one."

Fans of the latest episode are invited to join the discussion online at element14to send Ben a challenge for a future build or submit videos of their own builds.  Also, mark your calendars for this weekend's Maker Faire Bay Area, May 21-22, 2011, where Ben will be at the element14 booth demonstrating some awesome DIY modding projects and taking ideas for the show.

Starhawk(TM) Announced Exclusively for the PlayStation®3 (PS3(TM)) System

Fresh New Shooter Poised to Redefine the Genre in 2012 Combining Nonstop Action with Instant Customization on the Battlefield

FOSTER CITY, Calif., May 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) announced today plans to release Starhawk(TM), exclusively for the PlayStation®3 (PS3(TM)) system.  Developed by LightBox Interactive, in collaboration with Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios' Santa Monica Studio, Starhawk will provide fast paced third-person shooter action set in the lawless frontier of space allowing players to instantly alter the battlefield by calling down offensive and defensive structures in real-time from an orbiting drop ship, all while blasting away at enemies in the middle of huge single-player or multi-player firefights. 

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020701/SFM066LOGO)

"Our goal is always to innovate and provide fans with new, engaging experiences," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President, Product Marketing, SCEA.  "Starhawk delivers all of this and more combining a run-and-gun gameplay style with our advanced Build & Battle system that offers new strategic options for the player while never taking them out of the action.  Add to that a compelling story and robust online mode, and Starhawk will truly move the genre forward--an experience only enjoyed on PlayStation 3 that is sure to excite shooter fans and newcomers alike."

Starhawk's feature set begins with a host of weaponry and a multitude of vehicles for high-speed, extreme combat combined with intense vehicular warfare on both land and air.  The game's innovative Build & Battle system lets players alter the moment to moment action by giving them the ability to change the dynamic of the battlefield instantly with a selection of base structures at their disposal, all while in the midst of the fight.  By the touch of a button players can violently deploy a number of buildings, vehicles, or artillery to strategically complete mission objectives and defeat enemies.  Through the sophisticated architecture of the PS3 system, the instantaneous customization that Build & Battle provides, as well as the breadth of gameplay that spans multiple modes, is made possible. 

Utilizing state-of-the-art visual technologies, the development team has made every effort to give players the realistic feel of actually being on the battlegrounds with vibrant characters and environments, coupled with dynamic lighting effects.  Starhawk includes a full-fledged single-player story mode with various missions set in a number of diverse interstellar environments.  The title also boasts a strong online mode where users can battle head-to-head in epic 32-player matches, up to four-player online and offline co-operative play, and split-screen gameplay within multi-player and co-op modes, always against an endless attack of enemies.

The Starhawk universe is set in the distant future, out in the far reaches of space where factions battle over a rare and dangerous resource known as Rift Energy.  In this galaxy, colonies of humans, called Rifters, explore a scattering of planets, known as the Frontier, in attempt to mine this energy to make an honest living, but find their way of life threatened by the Outcast, a ruthless species of humans who have mutated into psychotic monsters due to exposure to this very same Rift Energy.  Caught in the middle is Emmett Graves, a hired gunslinger ostracized from society because of his own exposure to Rift Energy, leaving him partially mutated, but still able to retain his humanity.  Starhawk allows you to take on the powerful role of Graves who is drawn back to his home settlement of White Sands on the Planet Dust to face a mysterious outlaw and his war band of Outcast warriors only to discover that this job may mean more to him than he could have ever imagined.  He will soon find out that his family is involved in the clash between the Outcast and the Rifters and therefore must decide between those close to him and those he swore to protect.

Additionally, Starhawk employs a host of online community features that allows players to be always connected, all the time, including tournaments, leaderboards, and clan support with additional friends list and quick match options.  Players can keep up to date with the community events calendar, ticker tape updates, and a Starhawk Android application that lets users keep track of friends, clan mates, and stats when not online.

Starhawk is a single or multi-player third-person shooter experience that has an ESRB rating of "RP" for Rating Pending.  It is scheduled to be released in 2012. For more information about the ESRB, visit http://www.esrb.org.  For more information about Starhawk, visit http://us.playstation.com/.

GridSense and On-Ramp Wireless Partner to Develop Wireless Smart Transformer Monitoring

'Smart Enabling' distribution transformers help utilities realize true grid reliability, cost and energy savings

MONTCHANIN, Del., May 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GridSense, a portfolio company of Acorn Energy (NASDAQ: ACFN) today announced its partnership with On-Ramp Wireless to develop the first affordable utility distribution point monitoring system. The comprehensive system for distribution automation combines the GridSense TransformerIQ(TM) platform with On-Ramp's Ultra-Link Processing(TM) (ULP) system.

Together these technologies enable utilities to cost-effectively deploy secure and reliable monitoring throughout their distribution network for (1) asset monitoring, (2) fault indication to improve outage restoration, (3) to provide alerts to power quality issues, (4) to capture power thefts and (5) to act as a hub for demand-side load management -- all with a single wireless device.

Of the approximately 1 million transformers in the US, only 2% are currently monitored.  By accessing information from their network of distribution transformers and overhead lines, utilities gain savings, efficiencies, and reliability, and will avoid large unnecessary capital expenditures.  For example, with accurate "real time" low-cost monitoring, utilities could reduce reserve margins from as much as 20% to as little as 10%, which on a nationwide basis could avoid almost $100 billion of capital expenditure of the next twenty years.   

On-Ramp's ULP system can support 20,000 TransformerIQ monitors per Access Point.  This provides capacity to spare for other distribution automation applications, and securely deliver transformer data to a utility's back office OMS/DMS and other systems.

GridSense TransformerIQ offers a quick retrofit solution onto existing energized distribution transformers, enabling a lower cost system upgrade without the impact of an outage or downtime.  Working with GridSense, On-Ramp is providing utilities with the resources necessary to effectively monitor their distribution assets and improve their performance and bottom lines.

On-Ramp and GridSense will jointly pilot the Smart Transformer monitoring solution in Q2 2011.

"This partnership will bring substantial and long-awaited benefits for utilities," said Joaquin Silva, president and CEO of On-Ramp. "Together we will enable monitoring on below-ground transformers, without external antennas, which have previously been unreachable by wireless technology."

"By partnering with On-Ramp, we are able to provide utilities with next-generation 'smart enabled' transformers, capable of providing access to a large network of assets," said Lindon Shiao, CEO of GridSense. "Without this information, utilities put at risk their reliability standards and their customers' satisfaction."

About On-Ramp Wireless

On-Ramp Wireless has developed the first wireless system purpose-built to efficiently connect billions of hard-to-reach devices in metro scale and other challenging environments. On-Ramp's field-proven Ultra-Link Processing(TM) system enables low-power monitoring and control applications within Smart Grid, water efficiency, industrial sensing, and location tracking. Operating in un-licensed spectrum, our signal processing innovation finds weak signals even in high noise environments, yielding extreme coverage, immunity to high interference, and significantly lowers cost. For more information, visit http://www.onrampwireless.com.

About GridSense Inc.

Utilizing in-depth industry knowledge and understanding of utility requirements, we provide technology and services that help our customers address the limitations of an old and aging infrastructure.

Working in partnership with our customers and other trusted industry professionals, GridSense provides a range of monitoring solutions from portable rugged devices through to some of the world's most complete, powerful network monitoring systems on Transformers.  Integrating advanced sensing and measurement capabilities with remote communications and computing technologies, GridSense has developed a range of offerings that address all the critical points along the electricity delivery system.

With over 700 member companies, ITA represents organizations from innovative start-ups to large technology companies across the sector - representing software, mobile, internet, consulting, online services, electronics, telecommunications, and green technology.  ITA companies cut across a variety of industries - business, consumer, financial services, travel, manufacturing, healthcare, and so on - that represent Illinois' diversity of companies that make the technology that make businesses run.

"We at TechNet are very excited to partner with the Illinois Technology Association," said Rey Ramsey, President and CEO of TechNet.  "ITA and its President Fred Hoch are the preeminent leaders in Illinois in helping innovation thrive.  We look forward to working with them in Illinois and around the nation, a partnership that will strengthen both of our organizations at both the federal and state level."

"ITA is thrilled to be working with TechNet to strengthen the technology industry locally and expand nationally," said Fred Hoch, President, ITA. "Illinois companies are innovating across the entire business landscape and we look forward to collaborating with TechNet and its members to drive the industry forward."

TechNet was founded in 1997 by the high-tech industry's leading CEOs to create a network of the nation's strongest voices in the industry to unite with both federal and state leaders in helping to shape the public policies that impact the technology industries. TechNet continues to actively promote policies that strengthen the national's innovation-driven global competitiveness as well as create private sector initiatives that will ensure U.S. competitiveness and economic leadership.

TechNet members work together to identify key policy priorities and execute successful legislative strategies at both the federal and state levels to spur innovation in the U.S.  Working through the organization's working groups, these policy priorities include:

    --  ICT 2.0 -- Recent developments in information and communications
        technologies (ICT) have forever changed the way people work, play and
        interact with one another. Innovations in social media, cloud computing,
        mobile e-commerce and applications, and more all present ongoing
        challenges to policymakers. TechNet's ICT 2.0 Working Group focus on
        issues such as privacy, security, spectrum policy, intellectual property
        protection, telecom regulation, and others that the group identifies.
    --  Global Competitiveness -- Innovative companies rely more heavily than
        ever on overseas markets for their business.  Challenges to doing
        business overseas include protectionist trade policies, weak
        intellectual property protection, and lack of action domestically on
        free trade initiatives. This working group focuses on issues relating to
        tax policy, working capital, as well as other issues that affect the
        well-being of American innovation within the global economy.
    --  Clean Technology -- Clean energy can create new jobs, reduce rising
        energy costs, promote sustainable business practices, and enhance energy
        efficiency. This working group focuses on policy initiatives that
        enhance the deployment of clean energy technology such as: eliminating
        regulatory barriers to commercialization, fostering conditions for
        market entry and access to capital, research and development funding,
        and workforce development. The Clean Tech Working Group also provides
        input for the joint TechNet and Brookings Institution collaboration that
        includes clean energy topics.
    --  Human Capital -- An innovative economy relies on a talented and creative
        workforce in order to turn today's ideas into tomorrow's products. An
        adequate supply of workers with the right skills to sustain innovation
        is crucial to America's competitiveness. This group focuses on issues
        related to the talent that drives innovation, such as: STEM education,
        the talent pipeline, and high-skilled immigration reform.

AT&T Enhances Mobile Broadband Coverage at The George Washington University Hospital

New Distributed Antenna System Provides Additional Capacity to Help Enhance Wireless Experience for Caregivers, Patients and Visitors

WASHINGTON, May 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its continuing network investment to support growing demand for advanced wireless devices and services, AT&T* today announced the activation of a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) that will help enhance wireless service for caregivers, patients and visitors at The George Washington University Hospital in downtown D.C., part of Universal Health Services.

A DAS installation consists of strategically-placed antennas that distribute AT&T's wireless network coverage throughout The George Washington University Hospital, providing for more efficient management of wireless capacity in heavily-trafficked areas. DAS has the ability to provide enhanced wireless coverage to customers in indoor or outdoor spaces where geographical limitations - terrain, building construction, etc. - or crowd density might otherwise prevent an optimal wireless experience. The additional capacity is expected to help improve call reliability and enable more consistent network access to help customers make the most of their AT&T devices. AT&T is one of three wireless service providers at The George Washington University Hospital.

"Adding AT&T to our DAS has improved communications for many of our physicians," said Gretchen Tegethoff,  MSIST, CPHIMS, Chief Information Officer. "The enhanced coverage allows them to stay in more regular contact with their offices, resulting in greater responsiveness to their patients, and it makes them more reachable within the hospital. The additional coverage is also a satisfier for patients, their families and other visitors who take comfort in being able to stay connected, especially when a loved one is receiving medical care."

Just minutes from Washington, D.C.'s tourist sites and government headquarters, The George Washington University Hospital serves a diverse group of patients -- from area residents to visiting dignitaries and heads of state. As a multidisciplinary, tertiary care hospital, the 371-bed facility has 780 physicians on its medical staff and 1,930 employees. The George Washington University Hospital serviced 17,016 inpatient admissions and more than 75,700 outpatient visits last year; the emergency department is a Level 1 Trauma Center seeing roughly 71,240 patients a year.

"We continue to work aggressively to improve our network infrastructure throughout Washington, D.C., to improve the quality of our services," said Rob Forsyth, vice president and general manager for AT&T in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and northern Virginia. "We also continue to enhance and expand the nation's fastest mobile broadband network to deliver unmatched voice and high-speed data coverage, top-quality service and unsurpassed reliability for millions of AT&T devices."

The DAS investment complements AT&T's recent efforts to boost wireless coverage in the District. They include expanding mobile broadband coverage on the George Washington University campus and activating several other new cell sites in Northwest D.C. - one of which enhances coverage in the area of 19th and K Streets, NW. AT&T also recently turned on a new cell site in Southwest to improve coverage along the 14th Street bridge.

AT&T is an industry leader in delivering the benefits of mobile broadband networks, devices and applications. With the nation's fastest mobile broadband network, AT&T provides accelerated mobile data speeds and simultaneous voice and data capabilities for an amazing wireless voice and data experience. The company's recently announced agreement to acquire T-Mobile USA represents a major commitment to strengthen and expand its network. If approved, this deal means that AT&T will be able to expand the next generation of mobile broadband - 4G LTE - from its current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to more than 97 percent.

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 220 countries and data service in more than 200 countries.

AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network** with more than 24,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to more than 135,000 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.

Youku Link Powers Social Video Sharing in China

Millions of videos shared daily over China's leading social media

BEIJING, May 13, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Youku.com, Inc. (NYSE: YOKU), China's leading Internet television company ("Youku"), announced today that Youku Link, the company's cross-platform synchronization product, is now supported by four of China's most influential social media. According to data from the four largest sites using Youku Link, users of each service share and repost an average of 650,000 Youku videos every day.

Youku had long offered users "one-click sharing" functionality, allowing users to post links to Youku videos to participating websites with a single click. Youku Link, which first launched last spring, allows users to link their Youku accounts to their accounts on other websites, enabling a wider range of interaction across multiple platforms. Users can sign into Youku with accounts from other social media and select which aspects of their Youku experience - viewed movies, favorite clips, comments, or thumbs-up votes - they want to share with their online social circle.

Tencent's QZone is the latest service to implement two-way support for Youku Link. Youku has a long history of cooperation with China's prominent social media platforms: Renren, SINA Weibo, and Tencent Microblog. Figures provided by websites that have adopted Youku Link show that users of these websites have made Youku a major part of their online experience.

Youku is the most widely used source of videos on the SINA Weibo microblogging service. When Renren users share Youku videos with their friends on Renren, every video is re-posted and re-shared an average of 85 times. Youku is also the most widely used video site on Tencent Microblog. According to the most recent figures from Tencent, QZone users were already posting or re-posting a daily average of more than 700,000 Youku videos in early April, not long after the site added two-way support for Youku Link, generating an average of more than 35,000 replies per day.

"With Youku Link, we are introducing a new generation of sharing functionality," said Youku's Chief Technology Officer Jian Yao. "Instead of just sharing content, we are giving people the tools to share their behavior with their friends - their favorites, their comments, their bookmarked playlists - regardless of what social platforms they use. We are delighted to work with the major social media sites to enrich social networking and to make Youku an even more ubiquitous part of the Internet user experience in China."

One of the widest-ranging cooperative initiatives undertaken by a Chinese online video company, Youku Link is a reflection both of the diversity of China's social networking market and of the Chinese Internet industry's recent development towards open platforms and open APIs. As the service matures, Youku Link will expand the scope of Youku's cooperation with other companies and enable other categories of functionality, both between online platforms and within Youku's own product line.

About Youku:

Youku.com Inc. is China's leading Internet television company. Our Internet television platform enables users to search, view and share high-quality video content quickly and easily across multiple devices. Youku, which stands for "what's best and what's cool" in Chinese, is the most recognized online video brand in China.

Florida Business Says to Prepare for an Active Hurricane Season

TAMPA, Fla., May 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Forecasters at Colorado State University recently announced that the 2011 Atlantic hurricane season will be very active. Before the season starts, it's time for businesses to get ready, while remembering their most valuable asset: information.

"No matter the size of a company, without access to information, clients could be lost and the owner may be at risk for losing the business altogether," said Marshall Stevens, co-owner of Stevens & Stevens Business Records Management, Inc, a Florida-based full-service records management center. "To ensure business continuity, owners should develop a disaster recovery plan to assess how they're storing and managing information. These plans can help keep a business up and running so all business functions could be handled, even without access to your facility or network."

Get prepared by considering the following:

    --  Location and security of your storage facility - Store information
        off-site in a location that's been designed to withstand high sustained
        winds, is located in a non-flood zone, has a secure vault and is also
        secured with alarms, security cameras and pass codes.
    --  Accessibility - Be sure you can access your information no matter the
        time of day or day of week.
    --  Document back-ups - Whether you make copies or have external hard
        drives, back-up files of key documents is crucial. Keep back-ups in
        multiple locations, so if a disaster affects your office, another copy
        of your information is still available.
    --  Alternative records storage options - Consider utilizing technology that
        allows files to be converted to electronic images, which are then hosted
        on a secure, password-protected website. So, if files are destroyed or
        you couldn't access your facility, information wouldn't be gone for
        good.

"Hurricane season can be an uneasy time, but by planning how you'll protect information now, if disaster does strike, you can focus on running your business rather than trying to pick up the pieces after the fact," said Stevens.

Mavenir Announces Trio of Products to Rapidly Launch Voice over LTE Services

mOne(TM) Convergence Platform Provides Readiness for LTE Services Launch

RICHARDSON, Texas, May 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mavenir Systems, the leading innovator of mobile infrastructure solutions for LTE operators, today announced the VoLTE Edition of its mOne(TM) Convergence Platform. Available now, the Mavenir mOne(TM) Convergence Platform - VoLTE Edition provides operators with three options for quickly and cost-effectively deploying voice and messaging services over LTE.

Currently, some LTE operators are planning to support voice using the Circuit Switched Fall Back (CSFB) standard with plans to migrate to the VoLTE standard to support Multimedia Telephony (MMTEL) services, while others plan to deploy MMTEL directly. Either way, operators face deployment challenges such as MSC upgrades, service parity and other operational complexities, affecting their ability to launch LTE services quickly and evolve their network to support multiple options.

Mavenir's mOne(TM) Convergence Platform - VoLTE Edition provides operators with a trio of products for overcoming deployment challenges:

    --  The CSFB Inter Working Function (CSFB IWF) product enables the delivery
        of voice and SMS to CSFB devices, without requiring any changes to the
        existing Mobile Switching Center (MSC).  This eliminates major
        operational complexities resulting in reduced costs, faster service
        availability and better user experience.
    --  The MSC based Telephony Application Server (TAS) leverages an operator's
        existing MSC and all its services in an IMS environment to deliver voice
        to VoLTE compliant devices.  It allows operators to rapidly launch VoLTE
        without incurring major network upgrade costs.  The solution was
        previously announced in a partnership with Acme Packet to deliver mobile
        services over Wi-Fi or broadband devices.
    --  The Mobile TAS solution delivers MMTEL services to VoLTE compliant
        devices, to support enhanced voice and video services in an all-IP
        domain.  The Mavenir Mobile TAS supports native Intelligent Network (IN)
        services and integrated Mobility Application Server to help mobile
        operators preserve critical revenue generating features such as prepaid,
        ring back tones and mobility.

"Mavenir's approach minimizes the cost, complexity and time to market for LTE services, expands LTE operators' revenue opportunities and enhances their competitive position. Multiple operators have deployed our products in anticipation of voice capable LTE devices and service launch," said Pardeep Kohli, president and chief executive officer of Mavenir Systems. "Mavenir's solution gives LTE operators the best of both worlds: the ability to capture the market for broadband data services while catering to users who value voice and SMS."

The Mavenir mOne(TM) Convergence Platform is a common foundation that adapts as the service evolves, simplifying the operator's network transformation.  Deployment can start with the option that is feasible or practical to launch services immediately, and a simple software upgrade to MMTEL is available whenever the operator is ready.

At the LTE World Summit in Amsterdam, Mavenir will be speaking on VoLTE deployments.  Contact marketing@mavenir.com to set up appointments or visit at the Chill Out Zone A14.

About Mavenir:

Mavenir provides the Converged Voice, Video and Messaging Solutions that power Mobile Cloud Services. With Mavenir, mobile operators can offer mobile cloud services that are scalable, highly customizable and easy to implement. Mavenir's Converged Voice solutions enable rapid delivery of Mobile VoIP, VoLTE, Mobile Video, Session Mobility and Femto services;  Converged Video solutions provide Mobile Video Calling and Conferencing; Converged Messaging solutions deliver SMS, CPM and RCS services to monetize messaging services.

QR Codes Embedded By USA Manufacturer Flexsystems USA Incorporated

As companies take advantage of QR codes in all industries, Flexsystems in San Diego is using its technology to embed the codes into custom plastic products, custom labels, clothing labels and promotional products for their customers.

SAN DIEGO, May 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As a result of skyrocketing smartphone usage among consumers, QR codes are increasingly being incorporated in marketing campaigns, advertisements and promotions. As a result, more and more consumers are seeing QR codes within the magazines, brochures and websites they read on a daily basis.

"We're seeing that people often get excited to scan the QR codes due to the mystery of what is behind them and to see what they ultimately reveal. To keep consumer interest, it's important that when marketers employ QR codes, they have a high-impact message to share. As the smartphone explosion continues - and because QR code technology is often cost-effective and easy to leverage - it's likely that QR codes will continue to increase in popularity," said David Marshall. Marketing Manager of FlexsystemsUSA Inc. "The codes can include discounts-- but can be more beneficial as an 'added value' - for instance, additional product info, images, product reviews, etc."

Flexsystems in San Diego has been taking its customer's QR codes and placing them in their custom PVC labels. The PVC label holds the customers private QR code. Then Flexsystems can sew the emblems onto hats, bags, shirts, custom labels, luggage, badges, lapel pins, magnets or other promotional products that the customer would like the QR on.

Flexsystems can also put the QR code into a product. They can place the code into luggage tags, key chains, cell phone charms, earrings as well as hang tags. The process has been perfected after 17 years manufacturing in San Diego, California.

QR codes are not the only thing that Flexsystems has embedded. It has been able to take four color process artwork and embed into clothing labels, zipper pulls, hang tags and various promotional products such as key chains, magnets, luggage tags, jacket labels, hat labels and cell phone charms, headbands and dog collars.

Flexsystems also has embedded Holograms and used them as sew on labels for various hard and soft goods.

WGN America's How I Met Your Mother "Summer of the SuperFan" Will be Legendary

WGN AMERICA CELEBRATES HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER FANS WITH ON-AIR & SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN

NEW YORK, May 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- "Suit up!" This summer, WGN America expands the network's "legendary" commitment to social media by celebrating fans of How I Met Your Mother online and on-air with the debut of the "Summer of the SuperFan."

Beginning this month, WGN America rolls out the "Summer of the SuperFan" campaign which incorporates fans of How I Met Your Mother on WGN America's air.  As part of the campaign, WGN America brought four dedicated HIMYM fans who pay homage to the show via blogs and tribute videos, to New York to for a roundtable discussion and promo shoot, which were filmed at McGee's (the NYC pub which is the show's basis for HIMYM's fictional MacLaren's Pub.) These SuperFans will be celebrated in on-air spots to run on WGN America throughout the summer and in SuperFan video profiles on Facebook.com/MeetAtMacLarens and on wgnamerica.com. WGN America has also created a YouTube channel for HIMYM SuperFan videos http://youtube.com/MeetatMacLarens

The WGN America HIMYM SuperFans are

·Aaron Westerman - author of http://www.beawesomeinstead.com

·Heather Arbiter - administrator for http://how-i-met-your-mother.wikia.com/wiki/How_I_Met_Your_Mother_Wiki

·Tally Deushane - writer/performer of "A Daughter's Lament" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp7NX2cH_SI

·Ryan Narcisco - musician who performed a HIMYM medley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Qe5WcvKE4

Earlier this month, WGN America invited viewers of How I Met Your Mother to share their Mother's Day messages using social media. Viewers tweeted and posted their How I Met Your Mother's Day messages on WGN America's Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/MeetatMacLarens and WGN America's HIMYM Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/meetatmaclarens using the #HIMYMothersDay hash tag. 

Fan messages then aired on WGN America as snipes in the 9pm E /6pm W broadcast of How I Met Your Mother throughout the week, and culminated in the mother of all marathons... a How I Met Your Mother's Day Marathon on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 8th. The marathon featured the highest A25-54 and M18-49 ratings of the quarter to date.

This week, WGN America also kicks off a "Best of Barney" fan's choice event with a Facebook poll for fans to select the top 5 "Barney" episodes. The highest ranking episodes will air on Sunday, May 15th beginning at 7pm E/ 4pm W.

WGN America's social media campaign for How I Met Your Mother using Facebook and Twitter, which began this spring, has been a great success.  WGN America's How I Met Your Mother Facebook page Meet at MacLarens http://www.facebook.com/MeetatMacLarens (named after the bar featured in the show) has amassed over 170,000 followers in the first three months.

Meet at MacLarens is filledwith Facebook fan-friendly features including: The Barney Bro Burn: an exhaustive database of Barney's best one liners that users can post on their friend's pages; The Robin Scherbatsky Awards: users can send to a friend who deserves public shame for a blatant offense in Facebook journalism; HIMYM Guide to New York: WGN America's geographic guide to HIMYM locations in NY and a Web Guide witha list of our favorite HIMYM bloggers.

"The 'Summer of the SuperFan' will hand fans of How I Met Your Mother the keys to the network by giving them the opportunity to literally program their favorite 'Best Of' episodes on multiple Sundays throughout the summer. The success of this platform will open up numerous opportunities for both WGN America and our marketing partners to engage fans of WGN America's programming on a deeper, more inclusive level than ever before," said Josh Richman, Vice President of Marketing for WGN America.

As part of WGN America's social media strategy, the network has partnered with Story Worldwide, a global content marketing agency, to help create and curate the ideal fan experience and drive tune-in to WGN America on air.

HIMYM currently airs on WGN America Tuesday through Friday (9pm E /6pm W,) Saturday (11:30pm E /8:30pm W) and Sunday (7pm E /4pm W.)

In the coming months, WGN America plans to expand the HIMYM footprint and develop additional fan based campaigns on a monthly basis through the summer of 2011.

This fall, WGN America will create separate social media campaigns for new programming coming in September, including 30 Rock, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Futurama.

MyWireless.org® Joins Legislative Push Seeking Ban for Multiple and Discriminatory State and Local Taxes on 'Digital Goods and Services'

WASHINGTON, May 12, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- National wireless consumer advocacy group MyWireless.org® applauded Congress today for the introduction of bipartisan legislation giving consumers a break from potential multiple and discriminatory state and local taxes levied on purchases of digital goods and services.  This important pro-consumer legislation, entitled the 'Digital Goods and Services Tax Fairness Act of 2011,' was introduced today by Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and John Thune (R-SD), and Representatives Lamar Smith (R-TX) and Steve Cohen (D-TN), respectively.

Every day, more and more American consumers are going online to purchase and download 'digital goods and services,' such as apps, videos, music and ringtone downloads, e-books and video games.  This consumer trend hasn't gone unnoticed by state, city and local politicians willing to impose new taxes because they are desperate for new revenue sources.  Currently, consumers could potentially be double- (or even triple-) taxed for their digital purchases.  The 'Digital Goods and Services Tax Fairness Act' calls for a "national framework" or some "rules of the road" to be placed on state and local taxation for the purchase of digital goods and services made on wireless devices, using wireless broadband, or over the Internet.

Brian Johnston, MyWireless.org's director of advocacy said, "When you buy a book in a bookstore, a DVD movie or a CD at a music store, you pay state and local taxes just once.  But if you purchase that same book, movie or music online with your mobile device, you're vulnerable to potentially several levels of state and local taxation.  That's unfair and is simply outrageous policy.  This legislation would establish a sensible framework for how digital goods and services should be fairly taxed at the state and local levels."

Johnston continued, "The e-commerce transaction that occurs when buying digital goods and services crosses numerous state boundaries, and consumers shouldn't be exposed to the taxing whims of each and every jurisdiction.  The proposed framework protects consumers from a confusing and messy patchwork of different state and local tax laws.  Consumers should be taxed in a fair and reasonable manner when buying digital goods, and they deserve to know to which government entity they are paying those taxes."

MyWireless.org believes wireless technology is making the purchase of digital goods and services easier than ever before, and also that taxing purchases made in this manner should be treated the same as other more traditional means.  In tough economic times for many Americans, MyWireless.org commends Sens Wyden and Thune, and Reps Smith and Cohen for taking common-sense action on behalf of hundreds of millions of hard-working American consumers, by seeking to provide a fair and responsible system of taxation for their digital purchases.  MyWireless.org urges the 112th Congress to follow their leadership on this important issue and co-sponsor and pass this fair legislation.

MyWireless.org®, a national nonpartisan non-profit consumer advocacy organization, has joined together in a diverse coalition of American wireless consumers, business interests and taxpayer advocacy groups to support legislation in Congress and in the states to ensure that regulatory policies are kept fair, and that wireless is kept affordable and accessible to all Americans.
