Verizon's Fiber-Optic Cell Site Links Provide Critical Capacity and Reliability for the New Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Network

LAS VEGAS and BASKING RIDGE, N.J., March 24 -- From CTIA WIRELESS 2010®, Verizon Global Wholesale and Verizon Wireless announced today that Verizon Telecom's ultra-reliable, variable capacity fiber-optic links between cell sites and switching facilities will provide critical support for the nation's first 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network being built by Verizon Wireless.

Verizon Global Wholesale will be providing powerful fiber-optic links between more than 3,500 Verizon Wireless cell sites and the company's mobile telephone switching offices in 25 states and the District of Columbia, delivering the kind of capacity and reliability the new LTE network demands.  This "fiber backhaul" data transmission service delivers cell site traffic of all kinds - voice, Internet and video - as packetized data over fiber-optic Ethernet private line links to and from network switching facilities.

"There can be no weak links in the Verizon Wireless LTE network chain, and Verizon's network facilities and services not only are robust and reliable, but use the latest technology to offer the capacities and speeds LTE will demand," said Quintin Lew, senior vice president of marketing for Verizon's wholesale group.  "We are proud to have helped with the initial trials in Boston and Seattle.  We appreciate the tremendous leap that LTE represents for wireless broadband services and are committed to supporting the Verizon Wireless vision of the 4G network with ultra-reliable networking that can be scaled up as the LTE network flourishes."

Nicola Palmer, Verizon Wireless network vice president, said, "We had thought that providing Ethernet backhaul as an LTE enabler would be the long pole to launching LTE.  That's not proving to be the case.  Verizon is delivering on their promises to help us grow capacity and maintain reliability in our network."

Verizon Wireless' LTE rollout plan positions the company as a global leader in 4G LTE deployment, and it is on track to deliver the nation's first 4G LTE network to customers in 25 to 30 markets, covering roughly 100 million people by year's end.  Verizon Wireless has been conducting trials in Boston and Seattle since August 2009 that have indicated that the network is capable of peak download speeds of 40 to 50 megabits per second (Mbps), peak upload speeds of 20 to 25 Mbps and average data rates of 5 to 12 Mbps on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink in real-world environments.  The speeds are significantly faster than Verizon Wireless and other wireless providers' current or promised 3G network speeds.

By leveraging its 700 MHz spectrum for LTE deployment in the United States, Verizon Wireless is capable of quickly deploying a high-quality wireless broadband network with excellent coverage and in-building penetration.  Verizon Wireless is currently installing LTE equipment at existing cell sites and switching centers around the United States as part of its extensive, ongoing investment in its voice and data network infrastructure.

  --  First comprehensive marketing and advertising campaign for the Ram
      Truck Brand
  --  Campaign focuses on the American spirit and delivers a realistic view
      of how Ram Heavy Duty pickups are used for both recreational and
      vocational purposes

The Ram Truck Brand has continued to establish its own identity and clearly define its customer since its separation from the Dodge Brand. This week marks the debut of the Ram Truck Brand's new marketing and advertising campaign for the 2010 Ram Heavy Duty. The fully comprehensive marketing and advertising strategy connects with the Ram Heavy Duty customer on a deeper and more personal level than ever before.

"The Ram Truck Brand customer has been clearly identified and this campaign marks the beginning of how we will begin to build a deeper relationship with that consumer," said Fred Diaz, President and Chief Executive Officer - Ram Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "We know truck customers; we understand their passion and what drives and motivates them. We plan to connect with them on an emotional and rational level."

The heavy-duty market is 30 percent of the segment; its customers are the most brand-loyal in the industry. One in eight vehicles sold in America today is a truck.

Television

Filmed in variety of locations, the television campaign celebrates the nobility of gritty and tough jobs and features authentic men and women who perform some of the toughest jobs day-in and day-out.

"Truck of the ______"

Examines the moments that make up everyday life and exemplifies how the Ram Heavy Duty will be there and never let you down. The Ram Heavy Duty is up for the challenge - in good times and bad, no matter what the weather may be or how difficult the task.

"Expectations"

Illustrates the type of demands placed on hard-working men and women and how important it is for their truck to deliver; these type of people do not back down from the tasks they are faced with everyday and neither does their Ram Heavy Duty.

"Secret Weapon"

The very hard-working person knows what it takes to complete the tough jobs - guts, brains and the ability to take charge. "Secret Weapon" demonstrates the attributes of the Ram Heavy Duty which gives the hard-working person that extra edge to get the job done better.

"Lord Diesel"

This spot demonstrates the superiority of the legendary 6.7-Liter Cummins Turbo Diesel. It expresses the Ram Heavy Duty pickup's "don't back down to anyone attitude" and its powertrain leadership.

"Workhorse"

Focusing on the Ram 2500 and its HEMI® V-8 engine, "Workhorse" highlights the enhanced capability of the Ram Heavy Duty, and solidifies its position of as the "workhorse" among heavy duty trucks.

Print

The all-new 2010 Ram Heavy Duty print campaign employs dramatic photography and authentic truck settings. The print campaign continues the theme of portraying hard-working Americans and the variety of solutions the Ram Heavy Duty offers to meet any demand head-on. Capability, quality and reliability can be seen throughout whether it's on the road, in the fields or at the work site.

"Built To Work"

Featuring a Ram Heavy Duty in a power-line service situation, this ad utilizes dramatic photography in a remote location to emphasize Ram Heavy Duty's reliability and durability in traversing tough, remote landscapes and coming through for the people who perform these uniquely difficult tasks.

"Work the Land"

Celebrates the backbone of American agriculture and the Ram Brand's special relationship with this honest, wholesome vocation. This ad features clever uses of textures such as aged barn wood and rusty hinges to give it an authentic farm-look and feel. The hard work of these individuals and Ram Heavy Duty's ability to be a workhorse for those in the Agricultural industry are showcased.

"Commute"

Extreme weather is no match for the Ram Heavy Duty especially when it's equipped with the iconic and powerful HEMI® engine. This ad features the Ram Heavy Duty fearlessly plowing through snow to clear vital roads for those commuters who need a clear path to get to their jobs every day. This print ad truly reflects the sacrifice and sense of community duty that is typical of those who drive a Heavy Duty pickup.

"Day Off"

Even when the Ram Heavy Duty is called upon to play, it's always working. This ad features the Ram Heavy Duty's ability to tow heavy loads, especially when it comes to hauling the toys. This ad highlights how the all-new refined interior works hard to help the customer relax in highly-crafted, high-tech environment.

"Trophies"

Even though getting hunting and fishing "trophies" requires roughing it; you will be more than comfortable in the Ram Heavy Duty's all-new refined interior and crew cab. Aimed at camping and hunting, this ad illustrates how the Ram Heavy Duty has your back when you're going for bragging rights off-road and off the beaten path.

"Right Foot"

Those who like a powerful, capable truck typically have other powerful hobbies like racing cars on the weekend or bringing a vintage car to a classic car show. Those customers need a powerful truck to tow and transport those vehicles and other high octane toys like ATVs, motorcycles or whatever fuels their adrenaline rush. This ad is about keeping a big load balanced with standard integrated trailer brake control, a powerful HEMI engine, all from a comfortable and refined command center inside the cab.

"Multi-Million Dollar Athletes"

Heavy Duty Pickups are a mainstay of hauling horses, whether it's your average farm horse or a thoroughbred worth millions of dollars, the Ram Heavy Duty has a proud tradition of involvement in the equestrian industry. Now, more than ever, it's ready to haul precious cargo, with its Cummins 6.7-Liter diesel engine and its legendary ability to tow with precision and care. The all-new refined interior and Crew Cab will also make sure you're riding in comfort whether it's off to the next rodeo or the next horse race.

Online and Social Media

The brand's all-new web site, "RamTrucks.com," engages consumers in the full brand experience whether it's building and pricing a vehicle or finding merchandising and accessories to meet their lifestyle.

Ram Trucks Outfitter (http://www.Outfitter.Ramtrucks.com)

Whether it's on the work site or in a hunting blind, Ram Truck customers work and play hard, and they want equipment that's durable and dependable, just like the truck they drive. Cow-hide work gloves that give an extra handle on any job, a heavy-duty G-Shock watch with atomic timing suitable for any construction site or an 18-can cooler in high-definition in all-purpose camouflage are just a snapshot of the items featured in the Ram Truck Outfitter site. Men's clothing includes a long-sleeve Henley shirt thick enough to provide breathable base layer of warmth and a shadow-plaid flannel-lined fleece shirt. A variety of short and long-sleeve American Apparel t-shirts are available for women as well as polo shirts with moisture wicking to help keep cool in warm weather.

The Ram Truck brand will continue to increase its presence in the social media space and now includes a brand blog, "Ram Zone." The brand will leverage sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube to connect with like-minded Ram loyalists.

Events and Partnerships

Events play a critical role in the launch of the Heavy Duty. Several events, such as the Ram Heavy Duty and the Master Sportsman's Tours, take the heavy duty pickups directly to their targeted audience.

The Master Sportsman's Tour is a 26-state, 50-venue stop designed to give more than a million hunters and fishermen an up-close look at the all-new, redesigned 2010 Ram Heavy Duty pickup. The Ram Truck Brand in cooperation with dealers in regions with a heavy concentration of hunting, fishing and boating participants will be setting up camp at many of America's top outdoors expositions and showing off their trophy-winning Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty pickup trucks.

The Ram Heavy Duty national launch tour brings the all-new Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 Heavy Duty pickups to work-truck customers through a series of special grassroots events. Each Ram Heavy Duty Tour event is unique, making appearances at a variety of venues. Each tour stop features a Ram Heavy Duty Motor Trend Truck of the Year display trailer fitted with Cummins Turbo Diesel and HEMI® engine displays and a Ram Heavy Duty mobile showroom. At many tour events, attendees will find food and beverages, product giveaways, incentive deals and other surprises.

About the Ram Truck Brand

With a work-hard, play-hard attitude, the Ram Truck brand offers the boldest, most powerful and capable pickup truck lineup on the planet.

The Ram Truck brand will add to its award-winning truck lineup with the introduction of it all-new 2010 Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty trucks, Motor Trend's Truck of the Year. The new heavy-duty trucks provide customers with first-time innovations and features along with new standards of strength, utility and driveability, building on the Ram's leadership in the heavy-duty pickup segment.

Introduced in 2008, the Ram 1500 is a game changer in terms of its ability to "outsmart" and "out-tough" the competition with its bold exterior design, crafted and refined interior, engineering excellence, superb innovation and best-in-class features and amenities.

Jabra CLIPPER Allows Users To 'Clip & Go,' Between Music & Calls

Available Exclusively at Verizon Wireless Retail and Online Stores in May

LAS VEGAS, March 24 -- Listening to music while seamlessly answering phone calls will become much easier with the Jabra CLIPPER, a new Bluetooth® stereo headset announced today at the 2010 International CTIA Wireless® show.  Building on Jabra's already successful line of stereo headsets, the tiny clip-on device with noise-blocking ear buds combines style with minimalistic, easy-to-use controls, clipping on to bags, clothing, and belts while easily switching between music and calls.  Developed by GN Netcom, a world leader in innovative headset solutions, the Jabra CLIPPER will be available exclusively at Verizon Wireless retail stores across the country and on VerizonWireless.com, in May.

With the Jabra CLIPPER, there is no need to change between an Mp3 player and a phone when a call comes in as both devices connect wirelessly, allowing users to switch between calls and music instantly.  In addition, incoming calls will automatically override music played on a cell phone and, at the touch of one multi-function button, users can easily pause, skip tracks or alter the volume. You can also keep a phone and Mp3 player separately in a bag or pocket without breaking the connection.

"We have been thrilled with the success of the Jabra HALO and feel that the market is ready for the release of another Bluetooth stereo headset, especially as the popularity of portable music devices continues to grow," said Jonas Forsberg, General Manager North America, Mobile Division, GN Netcom, Inc.  "Verizon Wireless was impressed with the CLIPPER since our initial discussions with them and felt strongly that launching it exclusively in North America would help achieve their goal of expanding stereo headset offerings for their customers."

Industry analysts expect global Bluetooth stereo headset revenues to grow at an above-average rate of 5% in 2010.  The stereo headset and speakerphone categories are still emerging and offer the brightest prospects for Jabra's growth.

The Jabra CLIPPER is compatible with any device that features Bluetooth wireless technology and has the ability to connect to two different devices at the same time through Multiuse(TM) technology.  Users will also be able to connect it to a PC to listen to music.

The headset provides complete flexibility with how users listen to music.  Noise-blocking ear buds are included with the headset which eliminate any external sounds.  The Jabra CLIPPER can also be used with any other 3.5mm headphones.

  Key product specifications of the Jabra CLIPPER include:
  --  Bluetooth 2.1 (Including EDR, A2DP and AVRCP)
  --  Clip-on wearing style
  --  Talk time = up to 6 hours
  --  Standby time = up to 8 days
  --  Dimensions = 4.8 cm (L) x 1.6.5 cm (W) x 2.55 cm(H)
  --  Weight = .7 ounces
  --  Noise-blocking ear buds, in different sizes
  --  AC Charger

The Jabra CLIPPER offers a cutting-edge design at an affordable value, $59.99, and will be available in May.  All Verizon Wireless retail stores across the country will carry the headset in-store and it will also be available online at VerizonWireless.com.  In addition, the critically acclaimed Jabra HALO will soon be available at Verizon Wireless stores for a suggested retail price of $129.99.

PHD Virtual Delivers New esXpress VM Backup Solution Designed for Large Virtualization Environments

Dedicated Virtual Machine (VM) Backup Company, PHD Virtual, Offers Dramatic Performance, Ease of Use and Scalability to Seamlessly Protect Large Virtual Infrastructures

MOUNT ARLINGTON, N.J., March 24 -- PHD Virtual Technologies, award winning provider of esXpress VM Backup, today announced the latest release of esXpress, the industry's fastest multi-VM backup and restore solution on the market. With the unique architecture of esXpress, customers have access to the only backup and restore solution available that was custom built for large virtualized deployments.  This architecture provides customers with scalability to meet their needs along with heightened reliability when compared to other solutions in the marketplace.  This new version, developed by the only company dedicated to virtual machine backup technology, runs backups up to 20 times faster through an enhanced, single-click backup interface and simplifies restore processes through a centralized web-based restore engine that offers concurrent use by multiple users.

"PHD Virtual is laser focused on the backup and recovery needs of today's large virtual environments," said Thomas Charlton, president and CEO, PHD Virtual.

This latest release adds Change Block Tracking (CBT) to this powerful VBA foundation for dramatic backup and recovery performance. By reading only the blocks that have changed, and not scanning the entire virtual disk each time a backup is performed, esXpress shortens the backup window and uses considerably less data I/O while also reducing overall loads on network and SAN resources.

  --  Linear scalability - With its ability to offer 16 concurrent backups,
      esXpress offers unmatched performance and scalability to meet critical
      backup windows
  --  Verifiable and Measurable Deduplication - esXpress delivers
      source-side deduplication to reduce network traffic, offer one-pass
      restores, and deduplicate data across an entire storage target.
  --  Reliable Change Block Tracking (CBT) -esXpress is the only virtual
      backup solution that validates the CBT data for each backup, ensuring
      data integrity and reliability.
  --  Distributed Architecture / Fault Tolerance - esXpress features a
      distributed architecture which does not rely on Virtual Center or any
      other single application to run backups, making it the only truly
      fault tolerant backup solution available.

  Pricing and Availability

The new esXpress 4.0 is available now with pricing starting at $1,000 per host for four concurrent backup streams delivering the best price/performance for data recovery and protection in virtual environments. The product supports unlimited sockets and unlimited cores per host and no additional hardware is required.

AT&T Launches New Music Experience

New Service Combines Ways to Discover, Play and Shop for Music in a Single Mobile Broadband App Launching First on Three Popular Handsets; More Coming Soon

DALLAS, March 24 -- AT&T* today announced a new AT&T Music application that combines the most popular mobile music services - song and album downloads, streaming radio, song match, lyric search and an enhanced music player - into a single, cohesive experience for AT&T mobile phones. The service is available first as a download on three of AT&T's most popular quick messaging phones, delivering the tightest integration of mobile music services available to this category of devices.

  Within one mobile broadband application, subscribers to AT&T Music can:
  --  Listen to 40 commercial-free genre radio stations;
  --  Customize unlimited personal radio stations;
  --  Use song match to identify the tune by holding their phone up to music
      playing on the radio, TV or elsewhere;
  --  Search for lyrics to identify song title and artist;
  --  Preview, buy and download songs and albums straight to their phone;
      and
  --  Listen to personal music saved on their mobile device, including the
      ability to create and manage playlists and find music by artist,
      album, song or genre.

"We've long been a leader in mobile music and have been at the forefront in evolving the category to offer some robust experiences, but those experiences have largely been available though separate applications," said Mark Collins, senior vice president of Data and Voice Products for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "We recognized a need to create a 'no dead-ends' experience that weaves together all of the most popular music services, so customers don't have to jump in and out of different applications depending on how they want to access mobile music."

The app was designed to deliver deep integration of tasks while maintaining simple, easy-to-use navigation. A customer with a song line stuck in his or her head can enter those lyrics into the lyric lookup function to identify the song and artist and, from there, view full lyrics, access the artist's bio, preview and buy the song, or create a personalized radio station from that song.

AT&T plans to enable full song and album downloads through direct deals with Sony Music Entertainment, EMI Music and indie music distributor The Orchard.  Details on additional content providers will be announced in the future.

The new AT&T Music experience is available today on the LG Xenon, Samsung Solstice and Samsung Impression. AT&T plans to make the service available as a download on additional handsets soon and will begin preloading the service on devices beginning this summer.

Feature enhancements, such as the ability to purchase and manage ringtones and ringback tones from within the application, are also planned.

The service is available for $6.99 per month to customers who subscribe to an unlimited data plan. Song and album purchases are charged a la carte.

Customers with currently compatible handsets can download the new AT&T Music experience through the AT&T App Center, available directly from their phone or http://www.att.com/appcenter. Customers can also text MUSIC to 7299 to receive a link to download the application; messaging rates apply.

GTX Corp and Aetrex Worldwide, Inc. Sign Licensing Agreement to Deliver Patented GPS Shoes Worldwide

Aetrex, a company committed to foot health for three generations, and GTX Corp's patented GPS shoe technology are making it possible for caregivers of Alzheimer's victims to keep one step ahead of the millions of those afflicted that may wander.

LOS ANGELES, March 24 -- GTX Corp (OTC Bulletin Board: GTXO), a leader in customizable, embedded 2-way GPS Personal Location Services (PLS) solutions, moves one step closer to bringing personal GPS tracking solutions to the 5.3 million seniors afflicted with dementia by signing a four year, potential multi-million dollar license agreement with Aetrex Worldwide, Inc.

Currently scheduled for retail sale this summer, the Aetrex Ambulator® GPS Shoe will provide millions of caregivers the means to help easily find those afflicted with Alzheimer's that wander and become lost. The GPS Shoe will be available through the Aetrex owned website http://www.foot.com, which hosts approximately 300,000 visitors per month and was named by Yahoo! as the best health care site "below the knee," along with the http://www.gpsshoe.com website, and a select group of assisted living facilities. GTX Corp's eight patents for the GPS Shoe cover a GPS transceiver module that is placed within the footwear and transmission of location coordinates to a central monitoring station which disseminates the location data through the use of proprietary software, cellular connectivity, the GTX Corp middleware platform and the secure viewing portal.

"We believe a miniaturized GPS tracking device embedded inside a therapeutic shoe is the ideal solution for the millions afflicted with this terrible disease, and we are very pleased, after many years of R & D, to partner up with a company like Aetrex which has devoted 64 years to making foot health products," states Patrick Bertagna Chairman and CEO of GTX Corp.

"Aetrex's mission has always been to develop footwear and foot care products that combine unrivaled technology with innovative designs," said Evan Schwartz, President of Aetrex Worldwide Inc.  "This partnership is a terrific opportunity for Aetrex to use our expertise to extend the brand beyond the comfort category and help a segment of our population that is in need."

The impact of Alzheimer's: Currently impacting 5.3 million victims, with predictions of 14 million US victims by the year 2050; Alzheimer's disease is fast becoming "one of the biggest public health dilemmas ever encountered," according to the National Institute on Aging's deputy director, Gene Cohen. One in eight persons aged 65 and older have the Alzheimer's disease. Every 70 seconds there is a new victim of Alzheimer's, the 6th leading cause of death for seniors. Nearly 10 million caregivers, mostly family members, spend $148 billion a year for the care of their loved ones. The simplicity behind the GPS Shoe is that when a senior with Alzheimer's wanders off more than a pre-set distance, their caregiver will immediately receive a geo-fence alert on their smartphone and computer, with a direct link to a Google map plotting the wanderer's location.

Andrew Carle, a nationally recognized expert in 'Nana' technology for seniors and a professor at George Mason University said; "up to 60% of individuals with Alzheimer's will wander and become lost at least once during the progression of the disease, and up to 70% of those who become lost will do so more than once. The GPS Shoe is both life saving and a resource saving technology that will be instrumental in our ability as a nation to address the issues of wandering."

"If Aetrex purchases the minimum number of units necessary to maintain its exclusive license, this agreement will generate multiple millions of dollars in gross revenues.  In addition, upon the sale of the shoes, the Company will receive significant monthly subscription fees from the end-users," said Murray Williams, the CFO of GTX Corp.

GTX Corp (GTXO.OB) a leader in embedded 2-way GPS real-time personal location services (PLS) was founded in 2002 and is based in Los Angeles, California. The Company has evolved from its early beginnings of putting micro GPS devices in a shoe and continues to pave the way with innovative geo specific and proximity alerting applications that help you know where someone or something is at the touch of a button.

Courion Announces Market Leading Content-Aware Identity and Access Management Solution Leveraging Symantec Data Loss Prevention 10

Innovative integration ties identity management to sensitive data

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., March 24 -- Courion® Corporation, leaders in access governance, provisioning and compliance, today announced the integration of its Access Assurance Suite 8.0 with Symantec Data Loss Prevention 10 to create the industry's most comprehensive content-aware identity and access management (IAM) solution.  Until now, data loss prevention (DLP) and IAM solutions have worked as complementary, but separate systems.  The integration of Courion's Access Assurance Suite and Symantec Data Loss Prevention will enable organizations to not only discover sensitive data, but also who has access to it and if that access is appropriate.  The combination provides an accurate picture of end-to-end data security and compliance.

DLP augments IAM by extending the capabilities of an IAM solution to become "aware" of the content contained within the data stores that it protects.  The power of combining Symantec DLP technology and Courion's Access Assurance solution is that organizations now have a single system through which they can discover, monitor and protect confidential data wherever it is stored, while simultaneously and automatically enforcing the organization's security policies to guarantee that the right individuals -- and only the right individuals -- have the right access to that data.  Doing so allows IT and security managers to apply unified detective and preventive controls to better prevent data breaches and provide the richest set of remediation including encryption, quarantining, and modifying user access to the data.

"By partnering with Symantec, a recognized leader in DLP , we're bringing a truly advanced data security capability to our customers, allowing them to not only identify where their confidential data resides, but also who has access to it and how it's being used," said Kurt Johnson, vice president of corporate development and strategy for Courion. "As enterprises face increasingly stringent compliance regulations, and increasingly serious security threats, this solution represents a huge step forward in the ability to monitor and secure sensitive information."

  The integrated solution will:
  --  Improve security by ensuring that individuals have only the
      appropriate and intended level of access to data;
  --  Reduce risk by providing the identity context organizations require to
      implement the most appropriate remediation policy;
  --  Streamline business by allowing managers to quickly and easily approve
      exceptions or modify alert levels where appropriate; and
  --  Improve productivity by highlighting sensitive data alerts that
      represent the highest level of risk to the organization.

"DLP provides a dynamic classification of data which supports a consistent, policy-driven approach to the IAM process," said Paul Proctor, a vice president, distinguished analyst, and the role service director for security and risk management at Gartner, Inc. "This ensures that policy is applied in a consistent manner, and that assets managed under IAM are appropriately configured to meet the stated policy."

Combining DLP and IAM makes it possible for IT managers to make more intelligent decisions concerning the appropriate response to a DLP incident, by enabling them to more easily determine the level of risk associated with a specific alert.  It allows managers to determine the most appropriate remediation strategy, based not only on what kind of data has been found, but on who has access to it, and whether those access rights are appropriate.

"Identity has become a critical element to data loss prevention in the mission to protect sensitive data," said Rich Dandliker, director of product management, Symantec.  "Once sensitive data is discovered, integrating with an identity and access management solution, such as Courion's Access Assurance, provides added intelligence to take appropriate actions quickly and effectively that reduce the risk of data breaches."

Courion's unique Access Assurance approach to identity, access and compliance management ensures that only the right people have the right access to the right resources and are doing the right things. Access Assurance unifies Access Governance, Access Provisioning and Access Compliance in the most complex, heterogeneous environments. This comprehensive approach increases operational efficiency and transparency, strengthens security, and improves compliance, while delivering the industry's fastest time to value and lowest total cost of ownership.

About Courion

Courion's award-winning Access Assurance solutions are used by more than 400 organizations and over nine million users worldwide to quickly and easily solve their most complex identity and access management (password management, provisioning, and role management), risk and compliance challenges. Courion's business-driven approach results in unparalleled customer success by ensuring users' access rights and activities are compliant with policy while supporting both security and business objectives.  For more information, please visit our website at http://www.courion.com, our blog at blog.courion.com/, or on Twitter at twitter.com/Courion.

Members Can Unearth AARP-Specific Discounts, Alongside Those from Banks, Retailers, Bing Cashback and Credit Card Issuers

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 24 -- Billeo (http://www.billeo.com) - a suite of Online Assistants that save people time and money in all types of online transactions, from shopping to bill pay - today added AARP membership-based discounts to its Offer Assistant. By automatically showing thousands of discounts and deals from the loyalty and rewards programs of banks, retailers, Microsoft's Bing, credit card issuers and now AARP, Billeo's Offer Assistant makes it convenient for online shoppers to find high-value offers right when they search for products and services in Google, Yahoo! or Bing.

AARP has a dedicated team surfacing hundreds of valuable discounts at hotels, airlines, retailers, and other companies and organizations, to help its members save money. Billeo's Offer Assistant ensures that members know about these specials and use them when they are shopping online. If each of AARP's 40 million members used Billeo's Offer Assistant and spent at least $500 while shopping online, members could save $2 billion annually.

"It's our belief that you should have easy access to as many online discounts and deals as possible available through your loyalty programs," said Murali Subbarao, founder and CEO of Billeo. "With more than a third of our users over 50 and therefore eligible for AARP membership, it was a no-brainer for us to add AARP to the stable of programs we support."

Digital TV Veteran John Lawson Relaunching Convergence Services, Inc.

WASHINGTON, March 24 -- John Lawson, a leader of America's successful conversion to digital television, announced the relaunch of Convergence Services, Inc. (http://www.convg.com), the consulting firm that he founded and ran from 1993 to 2001. Lawson suspended active operation of the firm in 2001 to take the position of president and CEO of the Association of Public Television Stations, which he held until moving to ION Media Networks in 2008, where he was executive vice president.

Convergence Services will provide strategic consulting for the digital media industry "at the intersection of business, technology and policy." Lawson will focus on building Mobile DTV networks and services, development of "public media 2.0," and deployment of next generation emergency alert systems. The company may seek financing for its own ventures.

"When I founded Convergence Services in 1993, 'convergence' was the hot buzz word," said Lawson. "The term faded as the technology itself could not keep pace with the services customers wanted. But now true convergence is finally happening -- with smartphones, broadband-enabled TV's, TV-enabled laptops, and Mobile DTV. The National Broadband Plan will only accelerate that," he said.

As executive vice president of ION Media Networks, Lawson led policy strategy, distribution relations, and strategic initiatives for the nation's largest television broadcast network. He's leaving after two years with the firm.

Lawson was a founding board member of the Open Mobile Video Coalition and was elected to its executive committee in 2007. He was an original organizer of the DTV Transition Coalition, which grew to 214 organizations and helped prepare consumers for the switchover. He has served on three FCC advisory committees on emergency communications and on the boards of the National Association of Broadcasters, the Association for Maximum Service Television, and the Media Institute.

Over his seven years at the Association of Public Television Stations, Lawson secured funding, policy support, and business alliances that ensured the successful digital conversion of public television and the expansion of its services. In 2005, Lawson negotiated the most extensive agreement in the history of the television broadcasting industry for the carriage of multiple digital programming streams on America's cable systems. In partnership with the Department of Homeland Security, Lawson guided successful proof-of-performance demonstrations of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System.

Convergence Services, Inc. officially re-opens for business on April 19.

CT Communications Selects Allied Telesis to Deliver Ethernet Broadband Services to Ohio Communities

CT Communications Meets Future FCC National Broadband Plan Goals with Service Delivery of 100 Mbps per Subscriber

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 24 -- Allied Telesis, a global provider of next-generation Ethernet platforms and a leader in the deployment of converged multi-play networks, has been selected by CT Communications, one of Ohio's leading independent telecommunications companies to deploy the next generation broadband network. CT Communications' vision of the future will allow each subscriber the benefit of 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) high-speed access to content such as high-definition video and streaming entertainment from the Internet. The flexibility and scalability of the Allied Telesis iMAP (Intelligent Multiservice Access Platform) Active Ethernet product line allows CT Communications to create custom service bundles and subscriber packages now and in the future.

CT Communications' decision for ultra-high bandwidth Active Ethernet technology comes in advance of comments by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski indicating the new National Broadband Policy will have a goal of 100 Mbps "squared" bandwidth enabling next-generation broadband Internet services. CT communications joins a number of service providers worldwide offering enhanced IP multi-play services using Allied Telesis advanced Ethernet access and fiber gateway products. Allied Telesis currently has more than 275,000 Active Ethernet ports in service.

"We chose the Allied Telesis Active Ethernet platform because we were confident it could support our network bandwidth needs, both today and in the future," said Tim Bolander, director of Network Operations, CT Communications. "We recognized early-on the need for 100 Mbps symmetrical capabilities, and with Allied Telesis, we can improve service and deliver a strong quality of experience to our customers. We envision our implementation of the Allied Telesis solution as a model for the FCC's National Broadband Plan."

Initially, CT Communications will deploy Active Ethernet Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) to residences and businesses in the Urbana, West Liberty, and Bellefontaine, Ohio areas. In each implementation, customers will be migrated from the older broadband passive optical network (BPON) and digital subscriber line (DSL) systems to Active Ethernet FTTP.

The iMAP incorporates the proven multi-service, carrier-grade performance that service providers expect from Allied Telesis. With 10 Gigabit (Gb) ring protection, high-capacity switching, wire-speed line card interfaces with optical aggregation, and transport capabilities for Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) services, CT Communications gains maximum network reliability and the opportunity to offer its customers advanced multi-play applications. At the customer premise, the Allied Telesis iMG 7x6 MOD (intelligent multi-service gateway) serves as the optical network terminal. The iMG features enhanced Layer 2 functions, multiple data, and voice port options, as well as a modular HPNAv3 (Home Phoneline Networking Alliance) home networking interface.

"Our future-proof network deployment with CT Communications marks significant progress towards realizing Chairman Genachowski's goal to expand to 100 Mbps broadband service to 100 million homes by 2020," added Phil Jopa, chief technology officer, Allied Telesis. "We strongly support this effort to bring broadband to rural areas and assert that Active Ethernet is the ideal implementation for broadband networking."

A core business requirement in CT Communications' roll-out of its next-generation broadband services was its need for a unified management system. The Allied Telesis AlliedView(TM) unified network management system met CT Communications' need, as it provides flow-through provisioning that will lower the total cost of ownership for CT Communications.

CT Communications joins a strategic list of Allied Telesis customers that have already deployed Active Ethernet for multi-play services. Customers include: Surewest Communications; Surry Telephone Membership Corporation; Wilkes Telecommunications; and Twin Valley Telephone.

Atrato Announces Next-Generation Velocity Series, Delivering Extreme Performance and Autonomic Management

Unique Blend of SSD, HDD and Software Intelligence Maximizes Performance, Lowers Costs

LOUISVILLE, Colo., March 24 -- Atrato, Inc. (http://www.Atrato.com), the leading provider of high performance autonomic tiered storage for data-intensive applications such as virtual environments, virtual desktops (VDI), business and scientific analytics, data warehousing, and Web 2.0 applications, announced today availability of its next-generation Atrato Velocity product line. The Atrato solution delivers a unique blend of solid state disk (SSD) technology, the highest density spinning disk (HDD), and intelligent, software autonomics for precise real-time data access and management. The "hybrid" solution is specifically designed to help customers bridge the gap between storage and servers, effectively solving the productivity challenge created by performance starved applications.

There are a number of conflicting challenges facing the storage user; for many, performance ranks number one. Because of an increasingly widening gap in performance between server (CPU) demand for I/O processing and the ability for storage to deliver, many applications have become I/O bound and unable to service the demands of high performance applications. Companies with data-intensive environments are looking for a storage solution that can effectively deliver the high velocity data to satisfy server demands and optimize the storage environment. With Atrato's Hybrid Velocity Series, the right combination of HDD and SSD is applied, providing fast access for a full spectrum of I/O workloads. Autonomic software dynamically manages data, replicating the most active data to SSD for increased access speed. This distinctive product offering eliminates the I/O bottleneck between the storage and server, ensuring data is readily available to the application.

"At Atrato we set out to deliver on the promise of application acceleration through high access tiers," notes Bill Mottram, Vice President of Marketing at Atrato. "We succeed where others have failed by providing the best mix of SSD/HDD, and tightly integrated intelligent tiered management software to place high velocity data in the correct tier, where it's needed most. Our software eliminates the management complexity and delivers a solution that transparently and continuously adapts to any data load and application."

"SSD technology significantly improves storage system performance and throughput when strategically deployed," said April Adams, Research Director at Gartner, "and the economics of SSD technology are greatly improved with automated tiering."

"The Atrato solution provides a win-win for our customers, providing a cost-effective solution that delivers the enterprise scale and performance required to thrive in a fiercely competitive market," said Steve Visconti, president and CEO, Atrato, Inc. "IT administrators continue to manually manage increasingly complex distributed environments as performance starved applications become larger, and more demanding of performance capabilities. Atrato provides precise autonomic tiering to minimize complexity while optimizing the storage environment, delivering a solution that fits seamlessly within their existing environment."

  Atrato ApplicationSmart, Tiered Management Highlights:
  Hardware Features:
  --  SSD enclosure - accelerates performance with solid state disk,
      featuring 10x the performance of spinning disk; Atrato Velocity series
      delivers 1.5TB per 1U, with the ability to scale to petabytes.
  --  SAID - highest density spinning disk boosts I/O performance and
      provides cost-effective storage on the backend. 160 drives deliver
      higher access density, increased capacity (80TB system), and
      significantly smaller footprint.
  --  High-Speed Connectivity - for seamless integration into existing data
      centers, the Velocity series supports Fibre Channel (FC) and 10Gb
      iSCSI. Provides SAN target access for Linux, Windows and Solaris
      clients.

  Software Features:
  --  ApplicationSmart - autonomic software optimizes management of storage
      tiers
      --  Access Profiler - optimizes tiering for each customer's unique
          application. Software identifies I/O access patterns and changes;
          re-evaluates patterns in real-time.
      --  TME (Tiered Management Engine) - removes the complexity of
          managing storage tiers. Intelligent block management replicates
          the most frequently accessed blocks to SSD.
      --  SLM (SSD LUN Manager): simplifies management of storage pool,
          including hybrid SSD+HDD. Controls application specific meta-data,
          database indexes, or other file-level uses of Tier 0 to enhance
          performance.
      --  IA (Ingest Accelerator): accelerates writes, segregating write
          operations from read I/Os and offloading the process of
          transferring data to spinning disk. Log structured ingest,
          optimizes writes by reforming I/O commands.
      --  EA (Egress Accelerator): bursts sequential I/O reads. Similar to
          read-ahead cache, EA automatically identifies sequential I/Os and
          buffers for lower latency sequential read-out.

Atrato's Hybrid Velocity Series is now available through Atrato's partner network. Further information and detailed product specifications are available at http://www.Atrato.com.

About Atrato, Inc.

Based in Louisville, Colorado, Atrato Inc. (http://www.Atrato.com) is revolutionizing the data management and storage markets by challenging the traditional thinking on how to optimize storage tiers.

Chiquita Announces First National Online Resource to Enable Consumers to Discover Origins of Fresh Express Salads

Leaf Locator(TM) Tool Reveals Unique Behind the Scenes Practices to Discover "Your Salad Story(TM)"

CINCINNATI, March 24 -- In an unprecedented move by the leading U.S. producer of value-added salads, Fresh Express - a wholly owned subsidiary of Chiquita Brands (NYSE:CQB) - today announced the creation of  "Your Salad Story(TM)" micro-site and Leaf Locator(TM) tool, a powerful new online resource that enables consumers to identify the growing region of their particular salad product and to follow the journey of Fresh Express salads from seed development, growth in the fields and master blending all the way through to distribution for store shelves.

Located at http://www.freshexpress.com/story, the "Your Salad Story(TM)" micro-site reveals many of the company's behind-the-scenes comprehensive quality, food safety and business practices so consumers can better understand why Fresh Express salads are so fresh, flavorful and why they're the smart salad choice.

Providing salad consumers with the innovative and proprietary Leaf Locator(TM) tool marks an important advancement in consumer engagement.  Knowing where food comes from - and that rigorous food safety practices are in place - is of growing importance to consumers and retailers alike.

"Fresh Express is empowering consumers with a comprehensive resource and tool to learn more about our salads, where they come from and the extreme care taken to deliver the freshest and most delicious salad in the market," said Fernando Aguirre, chairman and chief executive officer of Chiquita.  "For the first time, consumers of value-added salads will gain new insights into the rigorous safety practices used in making their salads and will be able to learn important information about where they are grown.  This new level of engagement will further enhance the trust consumers place in the Fresh Express brand and underscores our commitment to invest in new advancements, technologies and practices that benefit our consumers."

Consumers can quickly identify their salad's growing region by entering a specific Leaf Locator(TM) code printed on the outside of the package.  The Fresh Express Leaf Locator(TM) code is now available on 60 salad varieties and package sizes (excluding Coleslaw and organic salads) in more than 24,000 grocery stores nationwide.

The company's comprehensive approach to freshness, quality and food safety is a significant focus of the new online resource.  The unique Fresh Express prevention-based food safety program, a comprehensive set of synchronized practices and standards used in the creation of all Fresh Express salads, is also showcased.

Visitors to the "Your Salad Story(TM)" micro-site can also tour Fresh Express growing regions and learn about unique climates and cultivation conditions as well as a wealth of other key information.  Profiles by individual Fresh Express salad experts provide insights into seed development, harvesting, cooling, master blending, food safety, quality assurance and transportation.  In addition, consumers can subscribe to receive regular newsletters, updates, recipes and tips as well as enter a sweepstakes to win a year of free salad (based on 52 bags per year).

"We created the Fresh Express 'Your Salad Story(TM)' micro-site to show consumers that not all bagged salads are created equal and to provide them with a tool to discover the origin of their salad," said Tanios Viviani, president of global innovation and emerging markets and chief marketing officer.  "The micro-site and Leaf Locator(TM) tool tell a unique field-to-fork story about the meticulous care we take to ensure each bag of Fresh Express salad is fresh and full of flavor."

Viviani said this new online consumer engagement and education initiative builds on the momentum created by a multi-element national consumer marketing campaign begun in 2009.  Featuring high-profile television and print advertising, and the theme "consistently, deliciously fresh(TM)," the campaign underscores the company's position as a market leader in fresh taste and produce innovations.  The "Your Salad Story(TM)" micro-site - with its consumer-empowerment dimensions - further accelerates differentiation by underscoring the value of fresh salads.  The Fresh Express seed to shelf prevention program is designed to help consumers be better informed about their salad choices and what makes Fresh Express products so fresh.

Fresh Express is the nation's No. 1 salad producer and has been a leader in fresh foods for more than 80 years.  Fresh Express is dedicated to providing consumers with healthy, convenient ready-to-eat spinach, salads, vegetables and fruits.  For more information, visit http://www.freshexpress.com.

Vlingo Adds SafeReader Free to Vlingo for BlackBerry smartphones

SafeReader Reads Emails and Text Messages Aloud So Drivers Can Keep Their Eyes on the Road

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 24 -- Vlingo Corporation, maker of the world's most popular mobile voice application, today announced version 4.5 of Vlingo, offering a new, free feature that gives users more "hands-free" control of their BlackBerry® smartphones and helps deter driving while texting (DWT). SafeReader, a free feature available immediately to all users of Vlingo for BlackBerry smartphone users, provides drivers with a safer, easier way to consume incoming text and email messages. Rather than fumbling to retrieve and read messages while on the road, SafeReader reads them aloud so drivers never have to take their eyes off of the road or hands off of the wheel.

(Photo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100324/MM74572)

"Although Vlingo does not condone the use of a mobile device while driving, we believe SafeReader provides a safe, hands-free option for receiving must-have messages while on the go," said Dave Grannan, chief executive officer of Vlingo. "Before getting on the road, simply press a button, speak to the device 'Start SafeReader,' and all incoming messages will be delivered audibly, without fail. We believe that any distracted driving is dangerous, but with SafeReader we can ensure that getting incoming texts and emails when driving is no more distracting than listening to the radio. By providing our BlackBerry smartphone users with SafeReader we hope to keep the roads a little safer."

The concept for SafeReader originated from and developed as a result of Vlingo's proprietary DWT data research. Each year the company conducts and publishes the Vlingo Consumer Mobile Messaging Habits Report to examine over 4,800 consumer attitudes and habits nationwide around the topic of DWT. According to initial 2010 results, 93% of consumers today believe reading or typing a text message while driving is as unsafe as not wearing a seatbelt, yet a quarter of those surveyed admit to having done it in the past. In fact, 66% believe the practice presents one of the biggest distractions drivers face on the road, while most (87%) believe it should be illegal. Complete survey results will be published later this spring.

Users worldwide already use Vlingo's speech to text technology to send a text or email message, call a friend, search the web, update their Facebook or Twitter status, use instant messaging, add contacts and calendar entries and more, simply by speaking into their phone. SafeReader expands upon these extensive features by offering the reverse functionality - text to speech - and allowing users to experience a more thorough and more reliable hands-free experience.

Vlingo 4.5 for BlackBerry smartphones with SafeReader can be downloaded for free on BlackBerry App World(TM) (http://www.blackberry.com/appworld) or directly from Vlingo (http://www.vlingo.com).

About Vlingo

With Vlingo, users can instantly send a text or email message, call a friend, search the web, update their Facebook or Twitter status, use instant messaging, add contacts and calendar entries and more by just speaking into their phone.

WISeKey Warns Developing Countries at the UN Human Rights Council Conference (UNHRC) About the Dangers of Cyber-Terrorism and Dependency on Cloud Computing

GENEVA, March 24, 2010--     WISeKey represented by its Founder and CEO Carlos Moreira shared a panel
at the UNHRC Session on Cyber-Terrorism, and freedom of expression. During
the presentation WISeKey demonstrated how Cyber-Terrorism is increasing
worldwide with the recent terrorist attacks. Many security experts and
companies like WISeKey protecting critical infrastructures are concerned
about the threat to critical assets in Government, the United Nations and
enterprises worldwide. WISeKey explained that while information security has
been a key concern since the proliferation of computer networks, the
increased levels of concern has prompted organizations such as the United
Nations to devote more resources and request assistance from the private
sector to combat this threat. Computers can be used as weapons and the effort
to improve computer security is driven by two contradictory forces, the
Internet needs to be open, its architecture is totally decentralized and the
Web was designed for different purposes, and software is essentially totally
unsecured allowing hackers and Cyber-Terrorist to find their way in.

    During the presentation WISeKey demonstrated how the company is helping
governments around the world to secure their critical assets and
infrastructures and developing solution for the broader adoption of Trusted
Cloud Applications allowing developing countries to participate fully and
reduce dependency from centralized services in foreign countries.

    The shift to cloud computing in developing countries and emerged
economies is fueled by the dramatic growth in business and e-government
collaboration, IP based devices, real-time data streams, and Web 2.0
applications such as streaming media and entertainment, social networking and
mobile commerce.

CimatronE Chosen for Special Medical Exhibit "From Project to Object" at Eurostampi

Cimatron's Italian Subsidiary Microsystem Will Showcase CimatronE 9.0 and GibbsCAM 2010

GIVAT SHMUEL, Israel, March 24, 2010--     Cimatron Limited (Nasdaq: CIMT), a leading provider of integrated CAD/CAM
solutions for mold, tool and die makers as well as manufacturers of discrete
parts, announced that CimatronE will participate in a special exhibit
highlighting its complete solution, that covers full tool design and
manufacture, at the Eurostampi tradeshow in Parma, Italy.

     (Photo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100324/383595 )

    Eurostampi's From Project to Object exhibit will show how a plastic part
for the medical industry moves from design to production, with live
production of the part on-site. The part is a "Medical Butterfly," which
showcases several clamps used in the medical industry for delivery of plasma,
blood, drugs and other fluids. The clamps need to be produced with extremely
high standards of accuracy and surface quality in a completely sterile
environment.

    CimatronE will be the main CAD/CAM software for the project, designing
the mold and electrodes, and NC programming all components. First,
CimatronE's QuickSplit will help identify the parting line and create parting
surfaces, and then, the full mold tool will be designed. The QuickElectrode
solution will automatically extract electrodes from the mold and prepare each
electrode for NC programming.

    CimatronE will be used to complete NC programming for the entire mold and
all of the electrodes. CimatronE's Micro Milling solution will enable the
part to be cut by very small tools, in order to reach the required level of
accuracy and provide a superior polish-free surface quality in a short
machining time.

    The exhibit is intended to demonstrate the entire mold making process,
showing how different products made by Eurostampi exhibitors work together.
CimatronE will be taking mold components from built-in catalogs, in this case
Hasco and Meusburger, automatically incorporating components into plates. The
mold will be cut on a Makino V33 high speed vertical machining center. The
mold maker for this project is Officina Marchetti, a CimatronE customer and
leading manufacturer of high production molds for medical equipment and other
high precision parts.

    Enhancements in the latest version of CimatronE include increased
automation for mold design, a quoting application for die design and added
flexibility in 5-Axis and High Speed Machining strategies. CimatronE now
operates at 64-bits, making full use of available memory and allowing it to
handle larger, more complex parts.

    Microsystem, Cimatron's Italian subsidiary, will also showcase the new
version of GibbsCAM, Cimatron's product line for production. GibbsCAM 2010
provides major enhancements for 5-Axis Milling and 3D solids machining, as
well as new plunge roughing.

    "Eurostampi's From Project to Object is a great opportunity for visitors
to see how technology in general, and CimatronE specifically, can offer
serious advantages in terms of shortening delivery times and reaching the
stringent quality requirements of the medical industry," said Gianluca Renzi,
CTO of Microsystem.

    Eurostampi will take place at the Parma Fairground in Italy from March
25th-27th. Microsystem's booth will be located in hall 9, booth K5.

Lime Brokerage Introduces Sponsored Access Solution for High-Frequency Trading Firms

LimeInside provides pre-trade controls that meet or exceed proposed regulatory criteria with single-digit microsecond latency

NEW YORK, March 24 -- Lime Brokerage LLC (http://www.limebrokerage.com), an independent high-volume agency broker and leading provider of high-throughput, low-latency technologies to the professional trading community, is rolling out an offering that addresses the SEC's pending ban of naked sponsored access.  LimeInside is the industry's fastest and most comprehensive solution for high-performance, exchange co-located sponsored access.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100324/NY75754 )

The patent-pending order placement validation and market-driver platform enables trading firms to co-locate at major U.S. trading venues, without the potential for exceeding trading limits or violating other regulatory requirements imposed upon the sponsoring broker.

LimeInside seamlessly integrates risk controls, order management, real-time market data, and directed destination routing for the most efficient market access. A non-intrusive trading API resides directly within the client's trading environment to minimize latency and maximize performance.

The practice of sponsored access is subject to numerous compliance criteria defined by regulators that require real-time pre-trade risk monitoring on sponsored trading of exchange-traded equities and equity options. The LimeInside solution satisfies both existing and anticipated compliance criteria, offering:

  --  Pre-trade order validation, as mandated by Nasdaq and proposed SEC
      regulations, with high throughput and minimal latency;
  --  Risk aggregation across venues via LimeInside's patent-pending
      information sharing protocol;
  --  Verification checks that prevent submission of orders to the markets
      if trading limits are exceeded;
  --  Configurable checks on human error ("fat finger");
  --  Highly optimized  order management and delivery to the exchange's
      matching engine;
  --  Integration with Citrius(TM), Lime's real-time Quote Delivery System
      for multiple destinations;
  --  Patent-pending data-output shaping algorithm for low latency and
      high-throughput quote delivery;
  --  Protection of flow from hidden information leakage attacks - Lime
      Brokerage does not operate a proprietary trading desk or dark pool and
      offers the highest level of security to protect both the client
      application and the pre-order validation model;
  --  Solid reliability, thanks to Lime's redundant, scalable
      infrastructure.

LimeInside is currently available for a select number of firms who want sponsored access to NASDAQ, NYSE Arca and BATS; additional markets to be added based upon customer demand and availability of co-location facilities.  The solution is quickly and easily installed and integrated at the exchange's co-location site via Lime's C++ API. LimeInside's speed, scalability, configuration and service alternatives provide significant advantages to firms operating either as hedge funds or broker dealers.

"Lime has long been a vocal proponent of rules preventing naked access and as an industry leader, we have created a solution that is consistent with regulatory mandates without sacrificing performance," states Jeffrey Wecker, President and CEO of Lime Brokerage.

"If you are among the fastest traders on the planet, you owe it to yourself to take a closer look at our patent-pending technology," Wecker adds. "Our pre-trade order validation is so fast, you will not only reduce your latency, but in many cases will see net-negative latency relative to your existing platform."

About Lime Brokerage

Providing customers with performance-engineered trading solutions that deliver speed, scale and reliability is the hallmark of Lime Brokerage.   Lime integrates world-class advanced execution technology with clearing and reporting services for seamless support of the most complex, automated and high-volume electronic trading strategies. Our technology and trading platform allows our customers to access an independent, agency-only system to trade quickly, reliably and anonymously on multiple exchanges, ECNs and trading venues.  Clients include professional traders, hedge funds, asset managers and broker-dealers.

Airvana User Labs Demonstrate 5-Fold Data Speed Improvement with HubBub(TM) UMTS Femtocell

Product Addresses Mobile Data Capacity Crunch by Offloading Data and Signaling Traffic from Macro Network

LAS VEGAS, March 24 -- CTIA Wireless 2010, Booth 2023 -- Recent in-building performance tests conducted for Airvana's (NASDAQ: AIRV) HubBub(TM) UMTS femtocell demonstrated marked improvement of indoor 3G data performance, on average five times faster than that of the macro-cellular network. Mobile data network capacity and performance have become increasingly critical for operators who need to meet the exploding demand for mobile data services while providing a satisfying experience to their subscribers. By delivering high data rates while diverting traffic off the macro radio access network, the HubBub(TM) femtocell becomes a powerful data offload solution for mobile operators.

In side-by-side testing, HubBub UMTS users achieved broadband data rates approximately five times faster than on the existing wireless macro network. Femtocell data rates also proved to be significantly more consistent than the macrocell data rates. In tests conducted under varying conditions, HubBub UMTS femtocell users achieved a throughput of 5 Mbps or better -- out of a theoretical peak HSDPA rate of 7.2 Mbps -- 80 percent of the time.

To support the ongoing Airvana User Experience Lab program, the company's radio frequency (RF) engineering team used the same custom-developed testing hardware and software used to measure performance of the HubBub CDMA femtocell (see Airvana User Labs Demonstrate Greater Than Five-Fold Data Speed Increase with HubBub Femtocell -- March 23, 2009). In the latest tests, macrocell network data speeds and Airvana's HubBub UMTS femtocell data speeds were measured in a variety of dwelling types in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. Detailed results of the performance testing for both the HubBub CDMA and HubBub UMTS femtocells, which was conducted as part of broader mobile operator femtocell trials, were published in the January 2010 issue of the IEEE Communications Magazine.

"Our User Experience Labs testing program continues to quantify the remarkable in-building data speeds achievable with our 3G HubBub femtocells," said David Nowicki, vice president, product management and marketing, Airvana. "By delivering a superior experience while removing both data and signaling traffic from the RAN, femtocells can help alleviate the network capacity crunch facing mobile operators globally."

Despite the conventional wisdom that data traffic is the primary culprit contributing to network capacity issues, research from Airvana has shown that signaling traffic associated with smartphone usage creates a significant "network load multiplier effect" on the macrocell network. Smartphones are always on, moving between cell sites and continually "polling" the network. This type of activity results in smartphones producing eight times more signaling traffic per bit of data transferred compared with a laptop.  This signaling load multiplier effect highlights the urgent need for improved mobile data off-load strategies. For consumers, femtocells provide a way to take control of their 3G experience by essentially providing a "private 3G environment" exclusively for use by members of the household or office.

Airvana and its partners provide operators with a complete line of femtocell solutions including HubBub CDMA and UMTS residential femtocells, HubBub UMTS High Capacity femtocell with HSPA+ data speeds of up to 21 Mbps, Femtocell Service Manager, and a variety of integrated home gateway femtocell solutions.

About Airvana

Airvana helps operators transform the mobile experience for users worldwide.  The company's high-performance technology and products, from comprehensive 3G femtocell solutions based on its HubBub(TM) CDMA and UMTS femtocells, to core mobile broadband network infrastructure, enable operators to deliver compelling broadband services to mobile subscribers, wherever they are. Airvana's products are deployed in 70 commercial networks on six continents. The company is headquartered in Chelmsford, Mass., USA, with offices worldwide.

These statements typically contain the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "will," "continue" and similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including without limitation the timing and rate of femtocell market acceptance and growth, operator femtocell deployment plans, the highly competitive and rapidly evolving market in which Airvana competes, Airvana's limited operating history, the fluctuation of its past operating results, Airvana's anticipated reliance on sales through a new reseller, Telefon AB L.M. Ericsson, for a significant portion of its revenues and product and service billings and other factors discussed in Airvana's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this press release represent Airvana's views as of the date of this press release. Airvana anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause its views to change. While Airvana may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so.
