CUnet's SocialThumb Gives Higher Education Marketers a Single Platform to Leverage Social Media Networks

Social Media Management Platform Makes it Easy to Listen, Engage and Measure Marketing Impact Across Multiple Social Media Channels

PARAMUS, N.J., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CUnet (http://www.cunet.com) announced today the launch of a new social media management platform aimed at marketers in higher education. The platform was designed to make it easy for schools to reach and engage with audiences through multiple social media platforms, while providing clear measurement analytics to track and optimize the effectiveness of each channel.

As social media tools continue to gain influence, schools are looking for new, efficient ways to use these channels to connect with both current and prospective students. According to the 2011 Higher Education Benchmarking Survey, conducted by LeadsCouncil in partnership with CUnet, 63 percent of schools are planning to increase their spending in social media for marketing purposes this year. Despite this, many schools continue to struggle with how to use these platforms effectively.

"For many schools, the cost of managing several presences across multiple social networks, both in terms of time and money, is a significant impediment to using social media effectively," said Jeff Berg, Social Media Strategist at CUnet. "CUnet's SocialThumb simplifies this process by giving schools one centralized control panel to manage Facebook pages, Twitter feeds, YouTube channels and other social venues. Unlike most social media management tools, SocialThumb allows educators to engage beyond just posting and responding to comments, providing robust workflow management, post scheduling and the analytics required to track successful student engagements."

Available as a licensed software or a fully managed offering, CUnet's SocialThumb allows schools to:

    --  Manage & Streamline - Schedule, manage, and assign activity, and easily
        share across social networks in a single step, incorporating clear
        workflow and approval paths.
    --  Listen & Communicate - Social inbox makes it easy to track and monitor
        social media activity while also enabling schools to quickly respond,
        and engage with students and prospects.
    --  Measure & Report - Beyond simple monitoring, SocialThumb provides
        extensive analytics allowing users to easily track activity, engagement
        and reach with key audiences, measure the effectiveness of different
        channels, and measure basic sentiment.

For more information about SocialThumb or any other products and services that CUnet provides, call 1.888.77.CUNET or visit http://www.cunet.com.

Denver Startup Launches Secure Health-Based Social Networking Site

Connects Users for Researching Local Illnesses

DENVER, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- What's Going Round, (WGR) a web 2.0 startup based in Denver, Colorado, has launched a site that will empower web users by connecting them with others in their immediate area to share knowledge and experience of contagious diseases "going 'round" in their communities.   

"Current skyrocketing healthcare costs, combined with the rising acceptance of the web for medical information and the viral growth of social networking, has created the perfect storm within which the new WGR site can thrive," says Jim Campanell, co-founder and CTO. "We like to think of ourselves as 'Facebook with a Purpose'."

Research shows that a significant portion of today's rising healthcare costs result from medical consumers using the healthcare system inappropriately. Since lack of knowledge forces people to err on the side of caution and seek unnecessary medical care, the founders of What's Going Round believe that access to reliable, real-time data about contagious diseases, and treatments, will help address this problem. The company is aiming to help shrink healthcare costs, reduce crowding in emergency rooms, and contribute to healthier community overall.

Based on that goal, the site combines elements of Facebook, WebMD, and online Personal Health Records, to create a Web 2.0-based symptom tracking system designed to facilitate more-informed decisions about medical care. Through tracking and managing their own health, users are able to be made aware of the contagious symptoms and effective treatments prevalent in their immediate local/regional areas. As adaptation of the system spreads nationwide, it will enable more proactive and "real-time" infectious disease tracking by private-sector caregivers, health organizations, and government agencies.

The company is currently pursuing first round funding to accelerate development and expand user acquisition activities nationwide.

About WGR

The mission of What's Going Round (WGR) is to provide the internet community a platform through which users can manage their health and share knowledge, empowering themselves and others to make more informed health decisions. WGR believes that its technology will facilitate a reduction in healthcare costs that will benefit consumers, the healthcare industry, and government health agencies and ultimately ease some of the burden of the healthcare crisis.  More information can be found at http://www.WhatsGoingRound.com or calling 888-901-4554

Actiontec Launches Family of 4G LTE Home Routers

High performance routers let service providers roll-out fixed 4G LTE services

ORLANDO, Fla., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Actiontec Electronics unveiled a family of 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) routers designed for the home/SOHO market. The new 4GRN routers represent some of the most flexible home routers ever built, with blazing fast 4G service speeds, wireless N networking, a Gigabit Ethernet switch, coax networking for satellite support, and FXS ports for supporting VoIP/VoLTE.

Debuting at International CTIA Wireless, the new router family has been named a finalist in CTIA Wireless' Emerging Technology Awards (Infrastructure: In-Building Wireless/Wi-Fi/LAN category).

LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the next major phase in wireless technology and has the potential to deliver speeds up to 100 Mbps downlink/50 Mbps uplink over the air. The technology promises a superior user experience, with uncompromised support for mobile multimedia, mobile social networking, mobile enterprise and more. Additionally, 4G LTE's speeds can bridge the broadband divide facing rural areas, where it has not been cost-effective to deploy fiber or copper-based broadband services. 

Actiontec's LTE routers integrate the 4G radio directly inside the box. As a result, broadband service providers are able to directly control the 4G radio, giving them the ability to deploy 4G service as an integrated part of their service portfolio, as well as provide support and management for the device and service.  In addition, unlike other LTE devices, the 4GRN family supports TR-069 remote management capabilities to help service providers offer superior customer experience and support, with fewer costly truck rolls.

"We have been working closely with major North American carriers throughout the development of the 4GRN-DLV. We believe that this router can take 4G LTE from a promising lab application to a next-gen service that can practically and cost-effectively, be deployed to customers," said Brian Henrichs, chief business development officer at Actiontec Electronics.  "We're excited to help lead the 4G revolution alongside other innovative mobile broadband service providers and technology vendors," he added.

With support for wireless N networking, a dual-core 32-bit processor, and robust memory architecture, the routers can simultaneously support a wide range of demanding multimedia applications, including HDTV, standard TV, Voice over IP, media sharing, and online gaming.

To further add to its power, Gigabit Ethernet is available on the WAN side to support speeds up to 1000 Mbps. In addition, for satellite home networks, the routers support coax networking for satellite networking to easily connect televisions, set-top boxes, and gaming consoles over the home's coax cables.

Similar to Actiontec's other award-winning CPE routers, the 4GRN routers support downloadable applications using Java (with optional Java Virtual Machine and Java Runtime Software). This lets carriers offer a wide range of revenue-generating Java apps to their customers, from home automation to enhanced security. Similar to a mobile app store, applications can be enabled as soon as they're ordered, without a cumbersome firmware update.

The home device features robust enterprise-level security features, including WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption, a customizable firewall, stateful packet inspection, Denial of Service protection, content filtering/parental controls, and intrusion detection.

About Actiontec Electronics

Actiontec Electronics develops broadband-powered solutions that connect people to the Internet, applications, and content they care about. Our products -- including gigabit Ethernet fiber routers, high speed VDSL gateways, DSL modems, and home networking solutions -- are deployed by some of the largest telecom carriers in North America. We listen to our customers, delivering future-proof solutions that help them stay competitive today and tomorrow, with faster access rates, advanced performance, and exciting applications.

"Despite all the hype surrounding consumer tablets, they're neither meeting nor anticipating the needs of industrial and field applications," said Khalid Kidari, director of product management and marketing. "DAP's M9000 tablet is the go-anywhere solution for companies that need reliable mobile communication throughout their supply chain and want to future-proof their technology purchase with advanced communications options, modularity and ruggedness not available on any other tablet."

As the world's first processor created for the specific needs of industrial users, Intel's E660T improves graphic performance by 50 percent and PCIe speeds by 15 percent, all while permitting operation at extreme temperatures and consuming 15 percent less power. This helps contribute to the M9000's superior power management, which allows the tablet to work a full 8-hour shift.

"DAP's new M9000 uses advanced communications technology and rugged design to bridge the gap between the specific requirements of industrial users and the general usefulness of consumer tablets," said Eric Miller, vice president. "It is technology that companies in warehouse, distribution, field services and other industrial markets can put to work right now to lower operating costs and increase efficiencies."

Users can choose Windows® Embedded 7 and Windows CE 6.0 for seamless migration into most enterprise environments. The tablet features 1 GB DDR2 RAM and a 16 GB solid-state drive.

Among the most rugged tablets on the market, the M9000 is IP67 and meets MIL STD 810F requirements for protection against dust, immersion in water and multiple 4-foot (1.2 meter) drops to concrete. It operates in temperatures between -4 and 122 F (-20 and 50 C).

appMobi Releases Mobile Web Services Creating Most Comprehensive Mobile App Ecosystem Available

appMobi platform provides everything required for developing, testing, distributing and monetizing cross-platform native and Web apps

ORLANDO, Fla. and LANCASTER, Pa., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- appMobi® (http://www.appmobi.com) today announced the addition of four mobile Web services to its comprehensive Platform as a Service (PaaS) mobile app ecosystem solution.  Through its free cross platform developer toolkit, the appMobi XDK, appMobi now provides mobile application and Web developers the most complete integrated set of hosted tools and services.

appMobi's new mobile Web services - including  1Touch(TM) frictionless payments,  pushMobi(TM) multimedia push notifications, statMobi(TM) mobile analytics, and LiveUpdates(TM) over-the-air app updates - join  a comprehensive suite of tools enabling any developer to create engaging and monetizable mobile apps, enable mobile commerce and analyze usage.

The appMobi XDK provides integrated tools for fully testing and publishing HTML-based code as either native apps or WebApps.  Through the XDK, appMobi's mobile Web services are uniformly available to mobile Web, Apple iOS, Google Android and BlackBerry developers. Apps built with the appMobi XDK, whether native or not, can all utilize native device features, such as the accelerometer, camera, GPS and file system.  With the addition of these new mobile Web services, developers can use the appMobi XDK to easily augment existing apps or build new apps that go well beyond the capabilities of currently available apps:

1Touch Frictionless Payments - Selected as a finalist in the 2011 CTIA E-Tech Awards, the 1Touch payment technology enables "single touch" in-app purchases within apps or websites through a highly-secure mobile wallet on the device and a few lines of HTML code.  Though Apple's "Paid Subscriptions" and Google's "One Pass" systems make in-app purchasing of virtual goods easy, they don't address the buying of physical goods, nor do they work on the mobile Web.  appMobi's 1Touch complements these app stores with one touch purchasing of physical or virtual goods either from within apps or via the mobile Web.  1Touch integrates with payment gateways such as Authorize.Net and PayPal, and with carrier billing.  1Touch brings the ease and convenience of secure frictionless payments to the entire mobile space, finally opening the mobile market to merchants selling physical goods.

pushMobi Multimedia Push Notifications - Push messaging is a proven and powerful way to engage users through mobile apps, alerting them to news, information and messages.  With pushMobi, appMobi has evolved push messaging to a new level, delivering rich media messages with video, audio and HTML5 content.  The pushMobi online dashboard (which integrates with any ad campaign management software) lets content providers target groups of users based on device, geography, demographics and other criteria.

statMobi Mobile Analytics -  Advertisers and webmasters depend on analytics to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and content.  statMobi provides app developers the first comprehensive set of analytic tools for measuring app usage, both online and offline.  statMobi mobile analytics tracks app starts, clickstreams, push messaging reception and response, and payments made, among other data points.   statMobi continuously captures metrics even when a device is offline during app use, then sends them once the device is back online.  statMobi is the only "always-on" mobile analytics tool.   

LiveUpdates OTA App Updating - Apps created using the appMobi XDK can now push new content, features, bug fixes and new versions over-the-air right to users' devices, without requiring an app store update. With LiveUpdates, developers can better ensure that their users have the latest content and newest versions of their apps.

appMobi is at the vanguard of mobile application innovation.  At Mobile World Congress in February 2011, the company unveiled MobiUs(TM) - the first-of-its-kind mobile Web browser technology.  Mobius allows developers to create Web applications - or WebApps - that exceed the functionality possible with native apps produced without the appMobi XDk, putting the entire World Wide Web on equal footing with app stores as the distribution channel for discovering, downloading and interacting with mobile apps. 

Download the appMobi XDK at http://xdk.appmobi.com.

Attendees of CTIA WIRELESS 2011, held March 22 to 24 in Orlando, Florida, can visit appMobi's booth 3196, located inside the Apps World section of the exhibit floor, for a demonstration of the entire appMobi PaaS.

About appMobi

appMobi® provides highly integrated cloud-based tools and services for supporting large-scale developer communities and creating and operating complete mobile application ecosystems.  By leveraging the commonly used Web programming languages of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and the open Web, appMobi's development tools allow app developers to "write once" and publish anywhere, either native app stores or via the Web.  appMobi's turnkey, white label platform-as-a-service offering enables carriers, device manufacturers, and brands to create mobile app ecosystems under their own brand.

Allegro DVT Brings an Over-the-Top (OTT) Flavour to the ALMosaic Monitoring System

GRENOBLE, France, March 22, 2011/PRNewswire/ --     Allegro DVT is proud to announce at IPTV WF 2011, a major
extension for its ALMosaic IP mosaic generator.

    This popular device, already adopted by major content
providers worldwide in 2010, has been relied on both for head-end monitoring
and channel browsing.In order to broaden its monitoring capabilities, the
ALMosaic is now extended to support Over-the-Top TV and WebTV inputs.

    Indeed, Over-the-Top TV and WebTV rely on a variety of
equipment and systems that lie outside the headend. This includes streaming
servers, conditional access systems and network equipment involved in the
public internet.

    In the current Over-the-Top TV and WebTV system landscape,
video program monitoring is generally carried out at various points at the
headend, but until today, most of monitoring mosaic generators were based on
SDI or Transport Stream inputs. Consequently, once a program has been
converted to any of the existing Over-the-Top TV or WebTV formats, it is
released in the wild and the ability to monitor it at the headend is lost.

    This is the reason why AllegroDVT's ALMosaic live IP mosaic
generator features Apple HLS and Microsoft Smooth Streaming video inputs,
with support for DRM-protected content and round-robin channel cycling. This
long awaited feature creates a feedback path for monitoring Over-the-Top TV
services and will help broadcasters ensure error-free live OTT video
delivery, with 24/24 service availability, full SNMP administration and
dynamic sparing.

    Take care of your head-end, and treat it to the best. ALMosaic, by
Allegro DVT.

    About Allegro DVT:

    Allegro DVT is a leading provider of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC/SVC/MVC
solutions, including industry standard compliance test suites and real-time
audio/video encoders and transcoders. Allegro products have been chosen by
more than 100 major IC providers, OEMs and broadcasters.

Our web visitors, who already operate small businesses, have told us that our online how-to columns and interviews with successful business owners have helped them to fine-tune their strategies and marketing plans during these tough times," said Jaffee.

Small Business Opportunities (SBO) and its sister publications, Start Your Own Business and Get Rich At Home have been how-to resource mainstays since 1988 with the launch of SBO.

"Small business owners have had a tough time weathering this up-and-down economy. And, for many of the millions of Americans who lost their jobs in the past two years, there are still too few viable employment options. Interest in starting a business has never been more popular than it is right now. We wanted to revamp our site to make it even more user-friendly and content rich to assist them in the process.

"Our objective has always been to demystify entrepreneurship for our readers and our new http://www.sbomag.com site contains more resources, tips, links, trends, and information on franchise and business opportunities than ever before," said Jaffee.

The site is determined to offer maximum amounts of information in minimal quick bites, with a wide variety of resources to direct visitors to organizations and companies where they can find additional information. The site is more interactive, and offers daily and weekly updates on trends, trade shows, new products and services of interest to entrepreneurs.

What's the Price of Procrastinating on Your Taxes?

Use Your Facebook Account at FileLater.com and the Cost is Zero

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Banks.com, Inc. (NYSE Amex: BNX) (the "company") announced today that FileLater.com, leader in online tax extensions, has released its Annual Tax Procrastination map. The map provides a real time view of tax extensions being filed by taxpayers across the United States and can be viewed at: http://www.FileLater.com/procrastinate.

"It's little wonder why people procrastinate in doing their taxes. Dealing with the IRS is up there with public speaking as far as human fears go and the fear is so acute that some people say they fear the IRS more than they fear their own deaths!" commented Dan O'Donnell, CEO of Banks.com. "Last year, over 10 million taxpayers opted to file tax extensions prior to the April filing deadline to extend their tax return due date to October 15th".

FileLater.com, Banks.com's most recent acquisition, allows taxpayers to file a tax extension with the IRS online and receive a quick acknowledgment from the IRS with no questions asked and no need to provide a reason for the extension. "Among the many comfort levels filing an online extension with FileLater provides is the IRS will approve and acknowledge your tax extension electronically online. That's a comfort level you just can't get when you put a stamp on an envelope and send your extension to the IRS through the U.S. Mail," added O'Donnell.

The company also announced that FileLater.com customers who file an online extension using their Facebook account to login and who share their experience with five of their Facebook friends can file their extension absolutely free. "FileLater customers who utilize their Facebook logins, not only get to file their tax extension online for free, they also get to share a discount with their friends who need to file an extension," concluded O'Donnell.

Banks.com, Inc. operates internet media properties including: banks.com, irs.com, filelater.com and mystockfund.com. Our properties provide users with relevant finance-related content and services and provide vendors targeted online advertising opportunities.  Through banks.com, we provide access to current financial content, including financial news, business articles, interest-rate tables, stock quotes and financial calculators.  We also provide users access to tax related financial services including free online tax preparation through irs.com and online tax extensions through filelater.com, a business we acquired in late 2010, as well as online stock brokerage services through mystockfund.com.

Verizon Wireless Brings 4G LTE to More Than 145 Markets by the End of 2011

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Verizon Wireless unveiled an additional 59 markets that will benefit from the world's first large-scale 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network by the end of this year.  These newly named areas, added to the 39 initial markets launched in December 2010 and 49 markets announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, mean that consumers and businesses in at least 147 U.S. cities will have access to the fastest, most advanced 4G mobile network in America.   

David Small, chief technical officer for Verizon Wireless, said, "Aggressively expanding this powerful network beyond major metro areas reflects the reality that the 4G LTE ecosystem is growing quickly.  Our commitment to reach deep into medium-sized cities and smaller communities by the end of 2011 means the power of 4G LTE can be harnessed and provide advanced services to law enforcement, healthcare workers, educators, and other professionals, as well as to individual consumers, sooner than many thought possible.  So whether you spend time in New York and San Francisco, or Harrisburg, Penn., Saginaw/Bay City, Mich., Huntsville, Ala. and Las Cruces, New Mexico, you can connect to the most advanced 4G network in the country."   

(EDITORS NOTE: A list of new 4G LTE markets launching in 2011 follows this news release.)

The HTC ThunderBolt(TM), launched Thursday, March 17, is the first in a suite of consumer-oriented smartphones, tablets, hotspots and notebooks that will run on Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network by the middle of this year.  The new consumer devices join two USB modems from Pantech and LG which have been providing laptop users with speeds up to 10 times faster than the company's 3G network.  In real-world, fully-loaded network environments, 4G LTE users should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.

Verizon Wireless is building its 4G LTE network with the same commitment to 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's700 MHz spectrum gives Verizon Wireless specific advantages with 4G, including a contiguous, nationwide network license. 

Verizon Wireless is also working with rural communications companies to collaboratively build and operate a 4G network in those areas using the tower and backhaul assets of the rural company and Verizon Wireless' core 4G LTE equipment and premium 700 MHz spectrum.  Already, six rural companies have signed on to leverage Verizon Wireless' scale for infrastructure while keeping their customers on the cutting edge of technology. 

Since 2007, when Verizon Wireless jump-started the global 4G LTE ecosystem with its selection of LTE for its 4G technology, the company has developed deep partnerships to spearhead a broad LTE ecosystem, including the LTE Innovation Center in Waltham, Mass., and an LTE Applications Center, slated to open in San Francisco this fall.

LoopNet Launches Expanded Line of Information Products With More Than 10 Million Commercial Real Estate Property Records

- Dramatically Increases Information Affordability and Accessibility for Brokers, Investors, Appraisers, Owners and Tenants -

- Integrates Public Records, Researched Property Information and Sales Transaction Comps in Comprehensive, Cost-Effective One-Stop Service -

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LoopNet, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOOP), which operates the most heavily visited online commercial real estate information web site, today announced the launch of its expanded line of property research products, Property Facts and Property Comps.  These new information services will provide commercial real estate brokers, investors, appraisers, tenants and others with a flexible, cost-effective source of nationwide commercial property data for all major property types.  LoopNet Property Facts offers detailed information on more than 10 million commercial properties, providing owner, lender, tenant, market stats and tax information for both on-market and off-market properties.  LoopNet Property Comps provides sale price, buyer, seller, sale date and other transaction details for over 1.3 million closed sale transactions.

Commercial real estate professionals now have the choice of subscribing to the LoopNet marketplace to market or search for active sale and lease listings, or subscribing to the Property products -- Property Facts or Property Comps -- to research the market as a whole at http://www.LoopNet.com.

"With the launch of these expanded products and services, LoopNet is heralding a significant change in commercial real estate research, which has long been characterized by expensive, restrictive data services that do not adequately meet the needs of a large sector of the market," said Thomas Byrne, LoopNet's President and Chief Operating Officer.  "In particular, many brokers and brokerage firms, individual investors, landlords, appraisers and financial services professionals have been priced out of the market for these information services.  We are very excited to now provide them with a comprehensive, affordable, nationwide property research solution alternative that covers all property types and all U.S. geographies in one simple subscription that does not require an annual contract."

"As an organization, we are incredibly proud of today's launch," said Rich Boyle, Chairman and CEO.  "A key component of our longer-term strategy is expanding the array of products and services that we deliver to an increasing number of industry participants, while extending and deepening our relationship with existing customers.  We are confident that Property Facts and Property Comps will prove significant contributors on all of those fronts."

While the LoopNet marketplace features nearly 800,000 listings that are actively marketed for sale and lease, the LoopNet Property Facts and Property Comps databases contain more than 12 times that many records, providing a holistic view of the commercial property inventory in a market, regardless of current availability and regardless of whether it has ever been marketed on LoopNet.

Together, the Property line of products contain a wealth of property details and offer unparalleled ease of use and affordability for nationwide search of office, industrial, retail, multifamily, hotel, land and other specialty properties.  Specific data fields include:

          PROPERTY FACTS                          PROPERTY COMPS
          --------------                          --------------
    -- Tenant Rosters and Employee Counts   -- Sale Date
    -- Tax Records and Assessed Values      -- Sale Price
    -- Property Details and Photos          -- Address / Property Type
    -- Owner Details and History            -- Buyer

        property type, location, building size, owner name, mortgage due date,

NetAmerica and Ericsson to Bring Comprehensive 4G Solution to Rural Markets

NetAmerica Provides Critical Business and Network Services Needed by Small and Midsized Spectrum Holders To Provide World-Class 4G Converged Services

DALLAS, March 22, 2011/PRNewswire/ --NetAmerica Alliance, LLC and Ericsson today announced a technology partnership to bring wireless spectrum owners (700MHz and AWS) in rural markets, the economies of scale, solutions and capabilities they need to provide advanced communication services to their communities.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110322/DA68213LOGO )

NetAmerica joined forces with rural independent license holders, that are deploying  converged 4G wireless/wireline networks, to provide them with business and network services including combined buying power, nationwide branding, 24x7 network monitoring, 4G core networking elements, applications development and other key services needed to build the converged network of the future. 

Central to the solutions offered by NetAmerica are the equipment and technology used in the core network and in the local communities served by individual alliance participants.  This includes Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio functionality, a state-of-the-art Evolved Packet Core (EPC), a leading-edge architecture based on IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), and a family of 4G-centric home and small business gateways. After an exhaustive evaluation process, NetAmerica chose Ericsson as their technology partner to provide these critical components.

"Our requirements and those of our participants demanded more than just a vendor relationship," said Roger Hutton, Chairman and CEO of NetAmerica. "We needed a partner who could truly work with us and our alliance participants to not only bring 4G wireless to their communities but to provide true converged services for their wireline business as well.  After an extensive evaluation of all the major suppliers, Ericsson proved to be that partner."

"This is a new type of LTE deployment," said Arun Bhikshesvaran, Head of Strategy and Market Development, Ericsson North America. "NetAmerica is making it possible for smaller operators to join together to deliver cost effectively the same mobile broadband services available in major metropolitan areas. The socioeconomic benefits of broadband services in metropolitan areas are well proven and, with applications designed for rural consumers, one can only imagine the extent to which the people and businesses in these markets will become more empowered and more productive as a result of this opportunity."

4G/LTE is recognized by many as the next step in the future of telecommunications.  Large carriers are now starting to bring 4G enabled services based on LTE technology to metropolitan markets.  Independent carriers have a long heritage of offering leading edge services to their communities and the NetAmerica Alliance enables them to continue that legacy of innovation. 

About NetAmerica Alliance, LLC

NetAmerica Alliance, LLC is a company comprised of an experienced organization and management team coupled with independent spectrum license holders who agree to build out their regions as part of a consortium, thus gaining collective strength and cost advantages comparable to large carriers. Through the alliance, many separate operating entities essentially become one, while maintaining their independence.

NetAmerica provides buying power, nationwide branding, marketing and training programs, a network operations center, core networking elements, applications development and nationwide roaming arrangements. Participants run the network in their own territories while NetAmerica provides the critical mass and economies of scale needed to thrive in an increasingly competitive environment.

Wilson Electronics Introduces Cellular Booster Portability at International CTIA Wireless 2011

New battery power pack accessory makes two of Wilson's best selling signal boosters truly portable -- on display at CTIA booth #4633

ST. GEORGE, Utah, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilson Electronics (http://www.WilsonElectronics.com), manufacturer of North America's top-selling line of cellular signal boosters, today announced at International CTIA Wireless 2011 in Orlando a battery pack accessory that makes two of the company's most popular boosters truly portable.

The Wilson portable battery pack weighs about 2 ounces when loaded with four standard AAA batteries (about 0.5 ounces on its own). It will operate the Sleek signal booster for two hours of talk time (voice or data), and up to six hours in standby mode. The device, which measures just under 3 inches tall by 2 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick, will have a suggested retail price of $16.95. It is on display at CTIA booth #4633.

The battery pack will also power the award-winning MobilePro signal booster, and connects to each device via a USB cord supplied with each product. When connected to the MobilePro, it will give about one hour of talk time, and up to three hours of idle time. 

"The portable battery pack makes two of our top selling boosters, the Sleek and MobilePro, even more portable," said Laine Matthews, Wilson Electronics director of business development. "Construction workers, Search and Rescue personnel, Wildland Firefighters, cyclists, hikers and others can now have the benefit of these two signal boosters in outdoor locations where there is no other power source available. The battery pack is perfect for these kinds of situations -- when staying connected isn't just a convenience, but a matter of personal safety."

Wilson cellular signal boosters work with phones, tablets, data cards, machine-to-machine (M2M) applications as well as cellular-enabled multiple Internet access devices, such as the Mi-Fi, which operate on networks using North American cellular bands.

Arkeia Delivers File-level Restore to VMware vStorage Customers

Arkeia Agent for vStorage Now Offers File-grain Restore from Both Windows and Linux Virtual Machine Snapshots

SAN DIEGO, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Arkeia Software, a leading provider of fast, easy-to-use, and affordable network backup solutions, today announced the release of a new version of its VMware vStorage agent featuring the ability to restore a single file or a directory from the backup of a complete Windows or Linux virtual machine performed through VMware vStorage API.

Granular Restore from Image Backups

The Arkeia Network Backup Agent for vSphere uses VMware's latest vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP).  Support for VMware's Changed Block Tracking (CBT), essential for fast, incremental image backups, was delivered in June 2010.  This upgrade to Arkeia's Backup Agent for vSphere now allows authorized users to use Arkeia's web user interface to select the file or directories to be restored and to save them either to the original virtual machine, to an alternate virtual machine, or to a physical server.

Unlike other vStorage solutions, Arkeia offers file-grain restore for both Windows and Linux virtual machines.  Further, Arkeia supports both native file systems and file systems layered on a Linux logical volume manager (LVM).  Administrators specify file or directory paths and the files or directories are restored in a single-pass.  The upgraded agent is backwards-compatible with image-backups made with earlier versions of Arkeia's backup agent for vStorage.

Enterprise-class--without paying a premium

DCIG's 2011 Virtual Server Backup Software Buyer's Guide ranked Arkeia Software 3rd among 24 vendors for data protection of virtual server environments.  "Arkeia Network Backup possesses many of the same features that backup software solutions that are normally classified as 'enterprise class,'" reports Jerome Wendt, DCIG analyst and author of the 2011 Buyer's Guide.  "This is notable in that Arkeia primarily targets midsized companies with its solution.  So, midsized companies get much of the same functionality to protect their physical and virtual machines as larger organizations--without paying a premium."

"Arkeia's new agent for vStorage lets us further improve the service levels that we offer our customers," reports Guido Dolci, CTO at Sfera Networks, a regional MSP in Italy.  "Arkeia's leverage of VMware's Change Block Tracking already shortened backup windows with block-level incremental backup.  Now, we can reduce time required for granular file restores on both Linux and Windows guest operating systems."  Sfera Networks has protected customer data with Arkeia Network Backup since 1999.

Arkeia vStorage Agent Details

Arkeia's vStorage agent offers comprehensive backup and recovery support for ESX(i) 3.5 and VMware vSphere 4.0/4.1 (including vCenter) platforms.  Capabilities, all managed through Arkeia's Web user interface, include:

    --  Block-grain incremental image-level backups using VMware Changed Block
        Tracking (CBT) for reduced storage needs and faster backups due to
        reduced network traffic
    --  vCenter integration for simplified management of backup and recovery
        operations for environments with multiple physical hosts
    --  vApp support to backup and restore groups of VMs working together, as
        well as granular restore on a per-VM basis
    --  Multiple transport methods allowing the Arkeia Agent to perform LAN-free
        backups via SCSI hot-add or over the virtual LAN for accelerated
        performance
    --  Raw Device Mapping (RDM) support for backups of remote block storage
        devices, including incremental backups using CBT when in virtual
        compatibility mode
    --  Differential backups, as well as full and incremental backups, for the
        flexibility to define an efficient backup process
    --  Flexible restores including hypervisor redirection, as well as options
        to choose datacenter/folder, cluster/host, resource pool, or datastore
        destinations to simplify the restore process
    --  File-grain and directory-grain restores from image backups of both Linux
        and Windows guest operating systems; a VMware hypervisor is not required
        for the restore

Availability and Pricing

This Arkeia vStorage Backup Agent is available now. This agent is available as a software package installed on any VMware-supported Linux or Windows platforms, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Novell's SuSE Enterprise Server and Windows Server 2003 and 2008.  The agent is also available as a convenient virtual appliance, ready for deployment on any VMware ESX or ESXi hypervisor.

Pricing starts at $1,000 per VMware vSphere server for large vCenter deployments.  For Arkeia customers with current maintenance agreements, agent upgrades are provided at no charge.

All products include one year of maintenance for free license updates/upgrades as well as access to Arkeia technical support.  See http://www.arkeia.com/vstorage for more information and a free-trial download.

Global Alert Network Announces Consumer Launch of Automated Hands-Free Hyper-Local Traffic and Weather Mobile Alerts

Service Offers Advertisers Ability to Reach Interested Consumers with Targeted, Relevant Messages

ORLANDO, Fla., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Alert Network (GAN) announced that its hands-free mobile application providing hyper-local traffic and weather alerts is now available to consumers nationwide.

Global Alert Network provides free and automatic, hands-free audio alerts and information updates to a user's mobile phone.  The application, which is currently available on Android and BlackBerry devices, initiates automatically and plays the alert without the need for the consumer to interact with his or her mobile phone.  Alerts are geo-targeted to the user's location ensuring timely, accurate information about traffic conditions, weather, or other future services to which the user subscribes.

"Global Alert Network is truly a 'first-of its kind' application that represents the advancements in how news can reach consumers and how advertisers can reach their target audiences. GAN's highly personalized hands-free audio alerts push incredibly relevant, necessary and potentially life saving information in a way that cuts through to the driver without distracting them," said Scott Hughes, President of Global Alert Network.

Global Alert Network is a free application that generates revenues from selling brief, advertisements to run within the alerts.  This effective form of advertising ensures that 100% of ads are heard by the app users - offering great benefit to GAN's advertising partners. 

Hughes continued, "Too many drivers today are preoccupied by their mobile devices, which leads to a devastating number of accidents. According to a study by the National Safety Council, 1.4 million crashes annually are caused by cell phone conversations and 200,000 are blamed on text messaging.  GAN values and promotes driver safety by reducing driver distraction and that was top of mind when designing this application."

Currently GAN's content includes real-time local traffic and weather alerts.  For real-time traffic information, GAN has partnered with Clear Channel Radio's Total Traffic Network. Total Traffic Network delivers real-time traffic data via in-car or portable navigation systems, broadcast media, wireless and Internet-based services. 

For weather, GAN partners with AccuWeather.com, a service with 113 meteorologists on staff dedicated to providing accurate local forecasts to over 125 million Americans every day.

"This service was created to allow drivers access to important information without having to engage with their mobile phones on the road.  We also provide a valuable medium for advertisers because we deliver short, impactful and relevant advertising messages with guaranteed exposure," Hughes continued.

Traffic and weather are just two of the channels on the Global Alert Network platform.  The Company plans to expand its content channels to include community alerts such as Amber alerts, sports and news.

Global Alert Network is free to download and is currently available on Blackberry and Android devices through AppWorld and Android Market.
