Eurotech Wins $7.5M Contract in the United States With King County Metro

King County Metro Transit Selects Eurotech DuraMAR(R) to Deliver Secure Data, Voice and Video Communication

COLUMBIA, Md., March 23 -- Eurotech, a leading supplier of embedded technologies, products, and systems, today announces a contract with King County Metro Transit to deliver the DuraMAR Mobile Access Router to more than 1000 buses in the greater-Seattle area. The 24-month contract is valued at over 7.5 Million USD. With this deployment, King County enables wireless communication with diverse on-board systems, such as vehicle diagnostics, GPS, and fare collection, through a single router installed on each bus.

King County Metro Transit serves more than 1.7 million area residents, with a daily weekday ridership of more than 380,000 boardings. Eurotech's DuraMAR is a modular mobile access router and will be used to seamlessly connect vehicles to the agency's IP network through a 4.9 GHz wireless corridor or an optional integrated cellular modem.  This Cisco-based router of the DuraMAR family of products will be used to transfer electronic fare payments and other operational data to and from transit buses, provide seamless network roaming for transit signal priority operation and the display of bus departure information on electronic signs along selected corridors, and improve transit security by supporting the expanded use of on-board digital video cameras.

"Eurotech worked side-by-side with Cisco to deliver a cutting-edge mobile router solution that met our industry-leading technical requirements. The mobile router supports the integration of multiple on-board systems and should ensure the longevity of our technology investments," said Dan Overgaard, supervisor of the IT Program Management Office for Metro.  "Eurotech delivered the exact specifications we need in the DuraMAR to leverage our existing and future wireless networks using Cisco technology."

The DuraMAR® chosen by King County is an integrated rugged Cisco mobile IP router specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of trains, buses, first responders, and other service vehicles.  Taking full advantage of Cisco Systems' industry standard IOS® software with upgradeable 3200 series mobile access routing technology and a Eurotech embedded Linux wireless communication controller, the DuraMAR router will support Metro's fleet communications for many years to come.

Under the contract, Eurotech will deliver the DuraMAR to Metro in 2010 and 2011, with the option to provide additional routers for public safety vehicles and up to six years of extended warranty support.

"We are pleased King Country Metro Transit has selected the DuraMAR with an integrated Cisco mobile router for its public transportation system," said Shannon Nix, director of Business Development, Cisco.  "The DuraMAR has been designed to deliver a flexible and seamless mobility solution that will work across multiple wireless networks."

"Cisco's strengths in networking technology combined with Eurotech's focus on systems and application-ready platforms delivers a solution progressive transit agencies can rely on for years," explained Greg Nicoloso, Chief Executive Officer of Eurotech Inc. "Our partner model with a company like Cisco allows us to help agencies transition to new technologies over time while maintaining the value of the original investment and extending the lifetime of deployed systems."

Jabra Once Again Revolutionizes Bluetooth Style; Announces White Version of Ground-Breaking 'STONE'

Jabra Will Launch White Jabra STONE at AT&T Stores Nationwide in May

LAS VEGAS, March 23 -- Unique style, comfort, portability and great sound proved the winning combination for Jabra in 2009 with the introduction of the ground-breaking Jabra STONE.  Created by GN Netcom, a world leader in innovative headset solutions, the Jabra STONE exceeded sales expectations and received accolades from journalists around the world when it was introduced in Q4.  As a result of that success, Jabra and AT&T will soon offer consumers another option - the White STONE.  Announced today at the 2010 International CTIA Wireless® show, a white version of the popular headset will be available only at AT&T retail stores nationwide and online wireless.att.com beginning May 16.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100323/NE74887 )

Taking the world by storm since it was introduced, the Jabra STONE is a revolutionary wireless Bluetooth® headset that combines style, superior sound quality, ease-of-use and portability.  The White STONE will feature the same sleek style and features, once again breaking the mold of what a traditional Bluetooth® headset looks like - this time with color.

"We couldn't be more pleased with the global success the Jabra STONE has achieved and are looking forward to continuing to push boundaries with the introduction of the White STONE," said Jonas Forsberg, General Manager North America, Mobile Division, GN Netcom, Inc.  "AT&T has been a great partner and their success with the initial launch and enthusiasm for the product has been tremendous."

"The Jabra STONE has been a successful product for us since we launched it in Q4 last year," said Michael Cowan, AT&T director of accessories, AT&T Mobility & Consumer Markets.  "The STONE's unique shape, in particular, has resonated strongly and we feel that the addition of the White STONE will appeal to an even broader base of our customers."

Combining visual appeal with advanced technology, the Jabra STONE has a shape like no other headset on the market, elegantly wrapping behind the ear and eliminating the standard on-face microphone, while still featuring Noise Blackout(TM) Extreme technology.  The wireless portable charger functions as a compact carrying case that fits into the palm of your hand - simply plug your headset into the charger and power-up whenever and wherever you want.

Accolades from around the world include such comments as:  "One of the best Bluetooth headsets money can buy, particularly for the self-conscious headset wearers out there" (AOL/Switched.com); "...ergonomically sound design and smoking good looks" (PopGadget.net); and "the STONE looks as good as it sounds" (Play Magazine).

The Jabra STONE features discreetly placed controls that are easy to operate.  With a nearly invisible touch-controlled volume pad on the outside of the headset, users can simply slide their finger up or down to control the volume while on a call. The STONE also features the Jabra StatusDisplay(TM), making it easy for users to check battery level and Bluetooth connectivity, and Multiuse(TM) capabilities to effortlessly connect two Bluetooth enabled devices at the same time.  The headset also streams music from A2DP enabled mobile phones.  The Jabra STONE comes with both a Micro USB and AC Charger, as well as a belt clip for easy wearing.

The White Jabra STONE will be available for $129.99 at AT&T retail stores nationwide and on wireless.att.com beginning May 16, 2010.

- Improved speed from start-to-finish for busy small business users who are managing multiple tasks within their day.

- Enhanced Browser Support: VerticalResponse has added support for Chrome users, which is not currently offered as standard across all email providers. Customers can continue to use Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari to create their emails.

Customers Influence Product Development

Direct feedback from VerticalResponse customers played a major role in the design and testing of the Email Creation Upgrade. Over 1,300 customers were invited to test the beta version of the product and their valuable input was weaved into the final version of the release. As a customer-focused organization, VerticalResponse worked to ensure that the Email Creation Upgrade was built to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of small business customers.

NetEx Expands Federal Government Reach of HyperIP with Addition to NASA's SEWP IV Government-Wide Acquisition Contract

MINNEAPOLIS, March 23 -- NetEx®, the leader in WAN optimization software, today announced that its award-winning HyperIP® acceleration software has been added to NASA's Scientific Engineering Workstation Procurement IV (SEWP IV) Government-Wide Acquisition Contract through a reseller agreement with Technica Corporation, an innovative provider of high-quality IT solutions for both government and commercial networks.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081223/AQTU005LOGO)

SEWP IV allows Federal agencies and their authorized contractors to buy products and services without having to secure multiple quotes in an RFP procurement process.  Because the contract has already been pre-competed, government customers can quickly and easily purchase NetEx HyperIP WAN Optimization software, which minimizes the effects of high network latency, packet loss, jitter and other network disruptions that can significantly degrade throughput and application performance, such as mission-critical surveillance, satellite imagery and replication data across long distance and limited-bandwidth communication links.

"There are several advantages for federal agencies to use the SEWP IV contract, not of least is the elimination of obtaining three quotes prior to purchase, which ultimately makes acquiring HyperIP easier, resulting in increased sales of our product," said Robert MacIntyre, NetEx Vice President of Business Development and Marketing. "DoD and government agencies interested in replicating mission-critical data across long distances need to look no further than NetEx's HyperIP to move data quickly and securely.  We're pleased to be working with Technica as a provider of quality, customized solutions to both government and commercial networks and look forward to our relationship expanding our presence in the Federal marketplace."

NetEx software is currently used by the U.S. Federal Government, including customers in both the Federal civilian sector and various U.S. military branches. All civilian agencies and Department of Defense branches can purchase HyperIP by going to Technica's SEWP catalog page and searching for "Network Executive Software Inc." in the manufacturer field.  Additionally, any existing NetEx resellers can go to Technica as a source for HyperIP for their government prospects.

About HyperIP

HyperIP is NetEx's award-winning business continuity and disaster recovery optimization solution for backup, recovery and data replication applications. Patent-pending technology accelerates and optimizes industry-leading data replication and file transfer applications by aggregating multiple data replication applications over a shared connection while mitigating the inherent network latency and network disruption for long-distance remote TCP data transmissions. HyperIP supports long-distance data transfers at up to 800 Mb/s, the highest performance of any WAN optimization solution on the market, and 25 to more than 100 percent faster than competitive products. Transfer speed is optimized for the full range of data management applications, including backup & remote replication and business continuance/disaster recovery (BC/DR). NetEx offers HyperIP for cloud infrastructures as a software-only configuration, enabling customers to quickly deploy the acceleration software into their existing VMware infrastructures.

NetEx leads the industry in supporting the top backup, DR and replication applications from companies such as IBM, HP/Lefthand, EMC, NetApp, FalconStor, VEEAM, DataCore and many more.  A complete list the BC/DR solutions supported by HyperIP is available at:  http://www.netex.com/products/hyperip/supported-applications.

    About British Military Fitness

    British Military Fitness was founded by Major Robin Cope (retired) in
1999 as an alternative to "The lycra clad, swiss ball using, water fountain
world of gyms!" The idea behind it was to provide the motivation that the
vast majority of us lack when it comes to getting fit. Robin also realised
that for any fitness training to be long term and effective, it has to be
fun. (It must be working because we currently have over 5000 members
exercising every week at our classes.)

    Robin always says to our new instructors that if at the end of a class
the members feel they have physically achieved something and had fun, then
they have been a success.

    At BMF we also offer a wide range of events for our members as well as
corporate training for companies and bespoke fundraising events for
charities.

    The BMF Team

    BMF is run by a small but experienced team, with over 60 years military
service between them. Our main aim is to ensure that our clients get maximum
enjoyment and achievement out of our fitness training classes and other
activities.

By building an educational software platform that works equally well for families, parents no longer need to seek homework and test schedules--they are delivered directly to parents' personal calendars. With CalendarFly, the only events parents have to enter or update are events they themselves create--truly, Life Organized.

"CalendarFly allows me to finally merge my family's events, activities and commitments. My book club and appointments, the kids' sporting events, homework assignments, music class and more... all at my fingertips with virtually no more manual entry. CalendarFly is my dry-erase board, paper journal and online calendar in one!" says Mary Ann Bekkedahl-Parent.

The new release of CalendarFly takes educational software to the next level.

  --  The user interface has been redesigned to offer a more streamlined
      view that incorporates even more activity into the user's at-a-glance
      view.

      and organizations of any size to pre-create accounts, groups, and
      relationships. Using this tool, a school can be up and running in 24
      hours with every student and teacher in the right class and each
      parent connected to the appropriate child.
  --  Through CalendarFly's new nationwide revenue sharing partnership
      program, schools will have access to the most powerful organization
      and parent-involvement tool available for free and strengthen their
      bottom lines. Over the next 3 years, CalendarFly's goal is to generate

MMA Highlights Retail Mobile Marketing Growth During CTIA Wireless

MMA Announces 'Adopt-A-Brand' Program and New Retailers Among Board Leadership

LAS VEGAS, March 23 -- CTIA Wireless 2010 -- During CTIA Wireless 2010, the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) today commented on its commitment to advancing sustainable standards and best practices for retail mobile marketing through new member programs and leadership initiatives.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090715/LA46363LOGO)

"We're already seeing significant buzz this year in the mobile retail space, with major brands delving into a variety of mobile marketing and commerce opportunities," said Michael Becker, MMA North American Managing Director.  According to CTIA, more than 20 percent of the show's attendees come from the retail space. In fact, this year's event features a new exhibit area, called the Retail Zone, with more than 150 exhibitors.

"MMA members already engaged consumers with major brands and retailers through mobile marketing campaigns, such as Ralph Lauren's mobile video fashion shows or BestBuy's product details and customer ratings. Additionally, point-of-sale 2D-barcode coupons in Target and JC Penny stores, retail card apps like myStarbucks, and even a shakable interactive mobile ad from Levi Strauss & Co.'s Dockers brand demonstrate the growth of companies using retail mobile marketing and commerce," added Becker.

Acknowledging the continued uptake in retail mobile marketing by leading brands and agencies, MMA announced the addition of BestBuy, Polo Ralph Lauren and OMD Ignition Factory as three new honorary members of its North America Board of Directors. These new leaders will serve for the remainder of the 2009-2010 term.

As part of the upcoming MMA Forum event in New York City on June 8-9, the MMA's new "Adopt-a-Brand" program will introduce brands and retailers new to mobile marketing to the benefits of this channel and MMA membership.  This program enables brands and retailers to attend the event at a substantially reduced entrance fee or for free by having one of their vendor partners subsidize their entrance into the event.  As a fresh way to encourage the growth of the mobile marketing ecosystem, this new program offers brands and retailers the opportunity to network with today's and tomorrow's mobile marketing innovators during MMA's premier North American event.  MMA will hold a brand and retailer pre-conference roundtable, followed by a networking reception, on June 7 - the day before the MMA Forum.

Additional information about the "Adopt-A-Brand" program and the 2010 MMA Forum event series, including the upcoming MMA Forum in Singapore on April 14-15, is available at http://www.mobilemarketingforum.com.

Pixelplus Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2009

SEOUL, South Korea, March 23 -- Pixelplus Co., Ltd. (Pink Sheets: PXPLY), a fabless semiconductor company in South Korea that designs, develops, and markets CMOS image sensors for various consumer electronics applications, today announced unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, which ended on December 31, 2009.

Based on these unaudited results of operations which were prepared in accordance with Korean GAAP on a non-consolidated basis, revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was 6.0 billion Korean won (US$5.1 million), compared to 3.6 billion Korean won (US$3.1 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, and 4.5 billion Korean won (US$3.9 million) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

Net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was 2.0 billion Korean won (US$1.7 million), or a net income of 584 Korean won (US$0.50) per diluted ADS, compared to a net income of 0.17 billion Korean won (US$0.15 million), or a net income of 51 Korean won (US$0.04) per diluted ADS, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, and a net loss of 5.8 billion Korean won (US$5.0 million), or a net loss of 1,706 Korean won (US$1.47) per diluted ADS, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

The Company sold roughly 4.0 million image sensors in the fourth quarter of 2009, which represented an increase of about 1.5 million from its sale of around 2.5 million units in the third quarter of 2009.  Separately, the Company furnished approximately 0.1 million image sensors arising from its supply of services to a leading Japanese module maker in the fourth quarter of 2009, which represented a decrease of about 0.2 million units from its supply of around 0.3 million units in the third quarter of 2009.  So, in terms of combined figures, the Company sold and supplied a total of roughly 4.1 million image sensors in the fourth quarter of 2009, which represented an increase of approximately 1.3 million units from its sale and supply of about 2.8 million units in the third quarter of 2009.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was 44.5%, compared to 32.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.  The Company's increase in gross margin was mainly due to its sale of high margin-driven products and excess inventory accrued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

The Company's SG&A expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 were about 0.4 billion Korean won (US$0.36 million), compared to roughly 0.6 billion Korean won (US$0.5 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, and approximately 2.9 billion Korean won (US$2.5 million) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.  Moreover, the Company's operating expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 were around 0.5 billion Korean won (US$0.45 million), compared to about 1.0 billion Korean won (US$0.85 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, and approximately 3.5 billion Korean won (US$3.0 million) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

The U.S. dollar amounts disclosed in this earnings release are presented solely for the convenience of the reader, and have been converted at the rate of 1163.65 Korean won to one U.S. dollar, which is the noon buying rate of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of New York in effect on December 31, 2009. Such conversions should not be construed as representations that the Korean won amounts represent, have been, or could be, converted into, U.S. dollars at that or any other rate.

Pixelplus will separately issue an announcement to discuss the Company's first quarter 2010 results on or before May 31, 2010.

"We are confident that Pixelplus' PO8030 VGA 'System-on-a-Chip' or "SoC", POA030 VGA SoC, and PC1030 NTSC/PAL image sensors, as well as our PO1150 1.5 megapixel image sensors designed for automotive black-box and security applications and PM1002 SoC processor featured in various image recognition applications, will enable us to achieve our business goals in moving forward.  For these aims, we continue to adapt to sluggish market conditions connected with the slower-than-expected economic recovery arising from the Global Financial Crisis and seek to identify and capture new business opportunities by adjusting and implementing creative sales and marketing strategies which should enable us to further strengthen our customer focus and select growth initiatives, as well as enhance our abilities to increase new business margins, drive higher profitability, and improve our performance," said Dr. S.K. Lee, CEO and Founder of Pixelplus.  "In addition, I believe our strategic cost-control measures should help us decrease our cash requirements, concentrate on our core business, maintain our continuity, and galvanize synergies and efficiencies in our operations.  While we aim to vigorously pursue these cost-control measures, we also are pleased to have more products in various stages of development and deployment than ever in the Company's history.  With Pixelplus' cutting-edge technologies and state-of-the-art products, we seek to develop our core strategic business with multiple mobile camera phone, automobile applications, and medical endoscope manufacturers in South Korea, with key distributors as well as manufacturers of security and surveillance applications in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and with a leading module marker in Japan through our co-development of image sensors.   Separately and in parallel, we are working closely with our customers on a pro-active basis to provide them with higher resolution, better image quality, and smaller form factor products, and we continue to dedicate all of our efforts and energies on achieving our long-term growth targets and business strategies through developing new products, entering new markets, and securing new design wins.  While we aim to invest smartly in valued R&D programs and new market opportunities and do everything possible to ramp new sources of revenue, we positively believe that our strategic business adjustments will guide us to achieve our goals in the most cost-efficient and effective manner possible, and enable us to see gradual gains and improvements in 2010 and beyond."

Siemens Enterprise Communications Announces OpenScape UC Server 2010 Edition Innovative New Software Platform Optimized for Data Center & Virtual Environments

Delivers investment protection and cost savings with unparalleled deployment, licensing, migration and integration options

ORLANDO, Fla., March 23 -- Siemens Enterprise Communications, a premier provider of enterprise communications, today announced OpenScape UC Server 2010, the revolutionary next step in unified communications (UC) optimized for the data center and virtualized environments. OpenScape UC Server 2010 extends the company's Open Communications approach with a cross-portfolio, standards-based open virtualization strategy, new hosting and subscription pricing options to help reduce financial barriers to UC, and OpenScape Fusion, which offers packaged integrations that further simplify integration of real-time communications solutions with other business applications. This provides unparalleled deployment flexibility and further simplifies an IT manager's ability to design, deploy, and manage UC solutions in the data center. OpenScape UC Server 2010 also helps meet business goals while delivering cost-savings through a consolidated IT infrastructure, easy migration, energy efficiency, streamlined business processes and future-proof communications technologies. (Please also see today's companion release with VMware here).

OpenScape UC Server 2010 is designed to help address today's data center challenges of eliminating barriers between different communications and business applications, optimizing hardware resources, as well as making evolution to innovative next-generation deployment models such as cloud computing, simpler and more affordable. In a traditional data center approach, applications are tied to proprietary servers, although they may only use about 15 to 20 percent of the server's computing power. With the number of applications most organizations need to run their business, this requires a significant investment in hardware, space, energy consumption and IT resources to manage and maintain the IT infrastructure.

"Traditional telephony and even today's more advanced communications technologies have often been siloed in the data center because of their proprietary natures, requiring vendor-specific hardware and skill sets," said Brian Riggs, research director, Enterprise Software and Communications for Current Analysis. "However, with today's economic environment, CIOs need to optimize their data center assets and real time communications technologies that can be virtualized. Not only do they offer innovative new deployment models, they also can help CIOs meet the IT demands of their organizations and increase efficiencies, without further taxing IT resources."

Unlike competitive virtualization offerings, OpenScape UC Server 2010 is hardware agnostic, benefiting from a virtual machine approach and open virtualization format (OVF). Delivering OpenScape UC Server applications as a software-based 'Virtual Appliance' is another major step in the alignment of real-time communications as an application in the data center. Leveraging the appliance model, IT managers can now deploy OpenScape UC Server applications as a set of virtual machines into the common hardware environment. Furthermore, IT managers can leverage their data center tools to manage these real-time applications in the same manner as their line of business applications. This not only helps to ensure high availability of the applications when needed, it also avoids vendor lock-in and eases administration.

In addition, it simplifies deployment of OpenScape UC Server solutions on multiple virtual machines as needed, supports fault tolerance, can support automation of network tasks and provides for business continuity. Channel partners also benefit from the virtual appliance model as it provides a single go to market approach for them to acquire, design, install and maintain an entire UC portfolio for their customers.

With a standards-based approach, five years of experience in the development of software-based voice and UC applications for the data center and more than one million users on the company's flagship software-based OpenScape Voice and UC Applications, Siemens Enterprise Communications is a proven  leader and innovator in enterprise communications. The company builds on this foundation with OpenScape UC Server 2010 by also providing new hosted editions that are optimized for service providers, further lowering the financial barriers to UC adoption for its customers. These modular, pay-as-you-go subscription licensed offerings support customers of all sizes with the enterprise-class UC, Voice and Contact Center solutions they need, as they need them, as well as providing pre-integration with common third party communication applications, further easing requirements on already strained IT departments.

As the most flexible, robust, easy-to-deploy and use UC environment currently available, OpenScape UC Server 2010 expands an enterprise's ability to integrate with other business applications thanks to its service oriented architecture (SOA) and OpenScape Fusion range of software-based packaged integrations. With OpenScape Fusion integrations, OpenScape UC Server 2010 can act as the backbone for UC, unifying web collaboration systems, non-Siemens Enterprise Communications UC systems, cloud-based social media tools such as Twitter and Google Latitude, as well as popular business portals such as Salesforce.com.

This not only simplifies the IT manager's ability to unify the user experience for enhanced collaboration and productivity, it also simplifies the integration of business applications for communication-enabled business processes (CEBP), which can ultimately lead to the improved speed and performance of mission-critical business processes.

"We are constantly working to make UC adoption easier and more cost-effective for customers by breaking down the traditional barriers of proprietary systems such as deployment, integration, and ongoing maintenance and support," said Eve Aretakis, executive vice president of voice and application platforms at Siemens Enterprise Communications. "The OpenScape UC Server 2010 platform brings together all of the requirements for unifying existing enterprise communications systems into one platform that is both open and flexible, taking advantage of cloud and social media trends. While other vendors would lock customers into their proprietary stacks and advocate a rip and replace approach, we want to offer our customers the most flexibility and choice in achieving their business goals."

Also, introduced with OpenScape UC Server 2010 is the new OpenScape 4000 Convergence Driver, a virtualized, software-based solution that supports the traditional telephony features of the popular HiPath 4000 converged-IP voice platform, while allowing customers to take advantage of the new OpenScape UC Server platform.  To further simplify migration, HiPath 4000 customers will benefit from OpenScape Flex Licensing which will allow them to convert their existing licenses into OpenScape Voice at no additional cost.  This provides investment protection for customers and an easy migration to a next-generation architecture.

The latest enhancements to Siemens Enterprise Communications' data center strategy with OpenScape UC Server 2010 further enable organizations to change the way they do business and achieve the productivity and collaboration gains promised by UC with a future-proof, software-based open architecture. The combination of UC virtual appliance, subscription licensing, and OpenScape Fusion packaged integrations address the three main components of a next generation infrastructure -- flexible deployment options, more licensing options and easier integration with enterprise or cloud-based applications.

AdSafe Announces Roster of Strategic Network Partners

Expansive List of Partners Enables increased BRand-Safe Display ADVERTISING

NEW YORK, March 23 -- AdSafe Media, the rating standard of online media, today announced an expanded list of key partnerships that secure the company's position as the market leader in preventative brand protection for the display advertising industry. Through these partnerships, AdSafe will enable its partners to control the placement of display advertising via its Content Rating System and Brand Safety Firewall.

AdSafe's Content Rating System is a standardized measurement platform which rates the brand safety of content on individual web pages, allowing brands, agencies, networks and publishers to ensure that display advertising only appears adjacent to appropriate online content.

Premium partners utilizing AdSafe to help ensure brand protection include: AudienceScience, Break Media, Collective Media, Invite Media, Kitara Media, Media6Degrees, MediaMath, Ourstage, Rocketfuel Inc, Scripps Networks, Traffic Marketplace and [x+1].

"We are proud to announce a list of partners that are all true innovators in the display advertising space," said Kent Wakeford, Co-Founder and EVP of AdSafe. "These partnerships signify how essential brand safety has become to the industry as a whole."

Key to AdSafe's offering is its ability to prevent ads from appearing in inappropriate contexts via its Brand Safety Firewall, which integrates directly into the existing ad-serving process. The Brand Safety Firewall allows brands and agencies to choose which impressions are blocked from being served based on their brand guidelines. This approach offers a more proactive solution than ad verification, which provides post-campaign auditing and reconciliation tools.

"Eliminating brand adjacency problems is essential in today's display industry and is why AudienceScience proactively manages our network by identifying and resolving issues for our clients and publishers. We are partnering with AdSafe as an element of The Audience Gateway(TM), our integrated audience platform to enhance our comprehensive, preventative brand safety measures," commented Jeff Hirsch, President & CEO of AudienceScience.

AdSafe's page-level analysis is essential to networks looking to maximize reach while simultaneously protecting brand advertiser clients across user-generated content and social media sites. Given the volatility of brand safety in these contexts, only page-level analysis can provide the reach demanded by premium brand advertisers.

"Brands today can't afford to take a chance on diluting their value and damaging their market reputation by having their ads appear next to inappropriate content," said John Nardone, Chairman and CEO of [x+1]. "That's why we felt it was important to partner with AdSafe in order to provide our clients with the unmatched security and protection of the Brand Safety Firewall and Content Rating System."

"AdSafe has eliminated concerns about advertising on social media for networks and brands alike," said Andrew Pancer, Chief Operating Officer of Media6Degrees. "By providing brand protection at the page level, brands can simply keep the safe impressions and eliminate the problematic ones."

AdSafe's expanded list of partners signals an ongoing initiative by industry leaders to provide brand-safe display advertising to agency and brand advertisers. These partnerships also add momentum to AdSafe's growing suite of products, developed to provide brand safety solutions for all members of the display advertising industry.

About AdSafe Media

AdSafe Media is the rating standard of online media. AdSafe uses proprietary algorithmic modeling and human verification to rate the brand safety of content on commercially supported web pages via the AdSafe Content Rating System. AdSafe's Brand Safety Firewall enables Brands, Agencies and Ad-networks to prevent advertising from appearing on publisher web pages that do not conform to brand guidelines. AdSafe's Content Monitoring Platform enables Ad-Networks and Publishers to identify and segment problematic site content, increasing monetization of display inventory. AdSafe is headquartered in New York, NY with operations in San Francisco, CA and London, England. For more information visit http://www.AdSafeMedia.com.

Telcordia Research Spotlights Challenges with SMS/MMS Routing Delivery

More Than 80 Percent of Survey Respondents Experienced Undelivered SMS/MMS Messages

LAS VEGAS, March 23 -- CTIA Wireless 2010 -- Telcordia (Booth #3276), a global leader in the development of fixed, mobile and broadband communications software and services, today announced the results of primary research that spotlights consumer challenges with the delivery of standard SMS and MMS mobile messages. An overwhelming 82 percent of respondents reported that a SMS or MMS message that they sent in the last 12 months did not reach an intended recipient. This survey highlights the impact this result has on communications service providers (CSPs) worldwide as they face the challenge of properly routing, interconnecting and delivering the nearly six trillion mobile messages that Ovum estimates will be delivered in 2010.

"SMS and MMS represent a large part of mobile data revenues.  The fact that 82 percent of respondents, representing more than 75 countries, reported undelivered mobile messages clearly shows that the problem of misrouted or dropped messages is both global and widespread," said Joel Fisher, Vice President, Marketing, Interconnection Solutions, Telcordia. "During this time of severe competitive and economic pressures, CSPs simply cannot afford to put that revenue stream in jeopardy."

"The volume of messaging will continue to rise, and it will be even more critical for CSPs to ensure that the messages are being routed and delivered properly," said Michele Mackenzie, Principal Analyst, Ovum. "Mobile messaging, which is estimated to account for 63% percent of mobile data revenue in 2010, is a core area for mobile operators, and messaging revenues are set to grow by more than 60% over the next five years."

Telcordia acts as a global trusted administrator of mission-critical industry directories and registries, providing authoritative subscriber information that enables aggregators, CSPs and content providers to find, route, connect and interact to deliver high-value voice and data services.

"Getting accurate routing data is the first step to increasing message delivery rates, preventing unnecessary revenue loss, and improving the overall customer experience," Fisher added. "As data services continue to expand rapidly, CSPs and aggregators need to make sure that they are properly reaching subscribers. This is particularly challenging in countries that have implemented mobile number portability, as content providers and aggregators try to identify how to route to the correct CSP after a mobile number has been ported."

Telcordia has helped aggregators and CSPs around the world leverage subscriber information that not only improves delivery rates of SMS and MMS, but also enables a wide array of new service innovations.

Siemens Enterprise Communications Announces New Partnership with VMware for Virtualized Real-time Communications Deployment

Companies Collaborate to extend OpenScape Portfolio via Virtual Appliance Model, Partners & Customers Benefit from IT Consolidation & Cost Optimization of Real-time UC

ORLANDO, Fla., March 23 -- VOICECON BOOTH #601 -- Siemens Enterprise Communications, a premier provider of enterprise communications solutions, announced today at VoiceCon that it has entered into a strategic partnership with VMware to develop virtualized unified communications solutions that will help organizations optimize their data center resources and lay the foundation for future cloud deployments. The move supports the Siemens Enterprise Communications' Open Communications commitment to offer partners and customers the most open, flexible and future-proof telephony and unified communications (UC) platform, as well as building on support for virtualized real-time communications from VMware.

"Our companies share a common goal of delivering real-time communications as a virtual appliance, thereby enabling UC technologies to leverage the benefits of the VMware platform: significant improvements in total cost of ownership, high availability, performance and business continuity," said Parag Patel, vice president, alliances at VMware.  "Through our companies' collaboration, we are enabling customers who use VMware vSphere(TM) to use a common management toolset for all of their applications, including new OpenScape UC 2010 UC solutions, further driving data center efficiencies and providing a clear path to cloud computing."

Working with VMware, Siemens Enterprise Communications will virtualize the OpenScape Voice, Unified Communications and Contact Center portfolio. All of the company's solutions will benefit from real-time telephony and unified communications that support true server consolidation, storage and processing optimization and energy efficiency for progressive data centers.

Virtually Channel-Friendly

Channel partners will also benefit from Siemens Enterprise Communications virtualization strategy by leveraging the 'Virtual Appliance' software solutions model, which provides pre-packaged initial configuration and installation routines, making it easier to deploy, manage and service virtualized enterprise communications solutions.  In addition, the open standards of the OpenScape portfolio and the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) ensures that channel partners can provide their customers with bundled solutions that are hardware agnostic, allowing them to deliver packaged solutions that run on industry standard server hardware. For channel partners that want to provide Communication as a Service (CaaS) or extend offerings to the cloud, the virtualization of Siemens Enterprise Communications portfolio provides an innovative, future-proof solution.

Shared Technologies, a key Siemens Enterprise Communication partner specializing in the design, implementation and ongoing maintenance and support of communication solutions for enterprise customers across the United States, sees the potential of virtualization and how it will be a growing migration imperative with customers.

"Virtualization will allow us to provide even more value for our customers because we can use our vertical expertise, as well as our communications best practices, to provide tailored solutions that are optimized for their data center," said Glenn Means, chief operating officer of Shared Technologies. "As customers continue to look for ways to reduce costs and leverage existing assets, the ability to consolidate their IT infrastructure and leverage our expertise to manage the entire data center for them so they can focus their resources on other critical projects, becomes very attractive."

"One of the key technology trends emerging in the enterprise today is the fundamental re-architecting of the data center, which is being driven by several strategic imperatives including cost optimization, regulation and compliance, flexibility and agility," said Eve Aretakis, executive vice president, voice and application platforms, Siemens Enterprise Communications. "Partnering with VMware for virtualization addresses these imperatives by offering a consolidated, optimized environment and clear evolution path for Siemens Enterprise Communications UC customers. Our company is committed to providing solutions that meet our customers' needs, and this is just another proof point of how we are delivering on that commitment."

Virtualization is a key element of Siemens Enterprise Communications OpenScape Unified Communications Server 2010, the company's next iteration of its award-winning software-based enterprise communications platform, also being unveiled at VoiceCon.

For more information, see Siemens Enterprise Communications at Booth# 601 at VoiceCon in Orlando, March 22-25th.

FusionOne Launches New Social Address Book Service

Focuses Communications with Those Contacts Who Matter Most to Relieve 'Social Media Fatigue'

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 23 -- FusionOne, the established leader in mobile content portability, today announced a new Social Address Book (SAB) service that aggregates mobile, messaging, Internet and social communications into a contact-centric view for access to friends' activities. The FusionOne SAB service provides easy discovery and publishing for Facebook, Twitter, and other popular social networking sites.

Mobile devices are the center of personal communication, and the address book is the central place for people to connect with their circles of friends through voice and messaging. SAB adds a social communications dimension to the mobile address book by enabling feeds and status updates. In addition, SAB provides "Circles" to automatically organize contacts based on criteria such as communication type, most recent, frequency, privacy, location and source.

The amount of social network messages from many networks can be overwhelming. FusionOne overcomes this challenge with the SAB Social Lens(TM), which allows users to focus communications on a select group of friends. Social Lens(TM) filters updates by feed type, sync frequency, location and network type to provide more efficient data and battery life usage. SAB also offers a mobile client and web portal to ensure complete anytime, anywhere access for all user communications.

"There has been a shift from content as king to context as king, as activity from dozens of social networking sites has created so many options that users need a smarter way to discover, manage and share their messages, pictures and videos," said Mohan Sadashiva, senior vice president of marketing at FusionOne. "Users have to prioritize how they share content across Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and the like, thereby placing context to their communications."

SAB helps mobile operators increase revenue from voice, mobile data and messaging usage with a branded mobile address book and contact-centric social networking service. "Social Address Book is currently being deployed with a Tier-1 operator in Latin America, and we are in development with other internationally recognized brands," said Sadashiva. "For partners and operators that want to remain competitive with their own branded service like Google Buzz, Vodafone 360, Nokia Ovi and Apple MobileMe, SAB is an ideal choice to create a value-added benefit for their subscribers."

About FusionOne

FusionOne is the established leader in mobile content portability, working with carriers and service providers to help mobile subscribers transfer their content between mobile devices and share their content across popular internet services.

Huawei Partners with SRS Labs to Advance Mobile Phone Multimedia Experience

SRS WOW HD Now Available on Latest Huawei Mobile Handset

SANTA ANA, Calif., March 23 -- SRS Labs (NASDAQ: SRSL), the industry leader in surround sound, audio, and voice technologies, announced today that it has formed a strategic partnership with Huawei, a leading wireless telecom manufacturer, to advance the multimedia performance of the company's mobile phone product line through the implementation of SRS WOW HD, commencing with the Huawei C5900 CDMA EVDO model.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070322/LATH036LOGO)

SRS WOW HD optimizes heavily compressed multimedia files to provide immersive 3D audio, improved bass, greater high-frequency clarity and elevated sound.

"Huawei is known for developing powerful and innovative mobile devices, and we are truly excited to have the opportunity to work along side them in a concerted effort to make a great mobile product line even better," said Allen H. Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing for SRS Labs. "Whether you're watching a movie or listening to music on your mobile phone, WOW HD elevates the entertainment experience to a truly unmatched level by restoring many of the audio cues that were lost during compression."

Audio performance has become a significant purchasing factor as consumers shop for more sophisticated phones. A recent MarketTools study conducted in November 2009 within the United States, indicated that sound quality is "important to very important" when purchasing a mobile phone. In addition, a mere 22 percent of respondents indicated that they were satisfied with their mobile phones audio capabilities at the time of the study. Both indicators above clearly illustrate the need for advanced multimedia solutions, such as SRS WOW HD.

The Huawei C5900 featuring SRS WOW HD is available now throughout China

Additionally, to celebrate the company's success within the mobile space SRS Labs is running a sweepstakes that will take place March 22 - April 16, 2010. To enter for your chance to win, please visit http://www.srslabs.com/premiumsound.

NewComm Forum Announces Special Guest Appearance by Dave Carroll of United Breaks Guitars Fame

Premier Social Media Conference to Feature Who's Who of Social Media Experts in Six Keynotes, Five Workshops and 40 Sessions

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 23 -- New Communications Forum 2010 (http://www.newcommforum.com/) will feature a guest appearance and special luncheon address with singer/songwriter Dave Carroll, event producers announced today. NewComm Forum 2010: The Social Web... Redefining Business will be held April 20-23, 2010 at the Marriott in San Mateo, Calif. Now in its sixth year, NewComm Forum is the premier conference for unlocking the power of social media and new communications tools and technologies.

When United Airlines broke Dave Carroll's guitar last year, he didn't take it silently. Instead, after months of frustrating calls and emails to the airline's customer service department, Carroll wrote "United Breaks Guitars," and posted his music video on YouTube. The video was viewed three million times in 10 days. Since then Carroll has completed a trilogy of songs recounting his experience with United, which have received more than nine million views online. He's conducted more than 350 media interviews, including CNN, the LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Today Show, The View, Rolling Stone magazine and the BBC, and it's estimated that more than 100 million people around the world have been introduced to Dave Carroll and his music through his social media activities.

NextGen Innovation Labs Launches Consumer-centric Mobi-Xperience(TM) QoS Platform

Solution Provides Consumer-centric Information about Wireless Experience, Helps Identify CAPEX and OPEX Spends to Improve User Experience, and Promotes Operator Sustainability

DALLAS and LAS VEGAS, March 23 -- NextGen Innovation Labs (NIL), a spin-off from United Commtel and leading consumer experience innovation company, today announced Mobi-Xperience(TM) QoS, a suite of solutions that give mobile operators as well as handset and network equipment OEMs deep, actionable insights into the customer experience. MobiXperience addresses one of mobile operators' top priorities: ensuring a superior user experience across voice, data and media-rich services to attract and retain consumer and enterprise customers.

Showcased at this week's CTIA Wireless 2010 show in Las Vegas, the Mobi-Xperience QoS suite focuses on four primary areas of turning customer-experience information into actionable insights for operators: consumer-centric network optimization to address network capacity, reliability and coverage; radio network benchmarking for service quality assurance; consumer surveying and analytics for real-time quality of service (QoS) data; and proactive customer care to offer high-priority problem resolution for premium-billing customers.

"Consumers and business users recognize when mobile operators have a reputation for poor service, creating opportunities for a rival to use a superior customer experience to differentiate itself," said Amit Verma, Chief Innovation Officer, NIL. "The Mobi-Xperience QoS suite gives operators an unprecedented view into the key performance indicators that have the greatest impact on the user experience, reducing churn and customer-acquisition costs. An optimal user experience also increases ARPU because the higher the network's performance, the more customers will depend on it for a wide variety of services."

According to Sanjay Ambekar, Senior Vice President of Xperience Delivery, the MobiXperience(TM) QoS suite promotes operator sustainability initiatives by enabling customers to provide real-time network-monitoring information. Traditionally, operator benchmarking has been conducted with extensive drivetesting with specialized datacollection equipment that may not reflect the actual experience of commercial handsets and does not capture indoor usage. Now, operators and independent benchmark companies can capture the end user mobile experience in an automated manner through client software loaded onto commercial devices of real consumers or testing staff.

The Mobi-Xperience(TM) QoS suite consists of the following software products:

  --  MobiReporter(TM), which consists of a server and over-the-air
      deployable mobile client that collects key performance indicators
      (KPIs).
  --  MobiSurvey(TM), which consists of an over-the-air deployable mobile
      survey client and a survey designer for easy creation and management
      of highly, targeted user surveys. By using it in conjunction with
      MobiReporter(TM), operators can better understand what factors, along
      with their respective thresholds, contribute to a customer's
      perception of poor experience.
  --  MobiManager(TM), which provides tools for creating reports that
      analyze the user experience of customer groups, filterable by metrics
      such as zip code, time and IMEI (International Mobile Equipment
      Identity).

Generally available now, the Mobi-Xperience(TM) QoS suite is currently in trial with various customers globally, including a Tier-1 U.S. operator.

Broadcom Introduces Low Power 10G Physical Layer Device for Long Haul and Metro Transmission in Optical Transport Networks

Next Generation Integrated, Cost Effective, Multi-Rate Transceivers Support 8.5 Gbps to 11.352 Gbps while Achieving Greater than 50 Percent Savings in Power Consumption

SAN DIEGO, March 23 -- OFC 2010 -- Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM), a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced that it is expanding its long haul transmission chip portfolio with new 10 Gigabit (10G) physical layer (PHY) transceivers designed in 65 nanometer (65nm) process technology. The Broadcom® BCM8155 and BCM8157 multi-rate transceivers support data rates ranging from 8.5 Gigabits per second (Gbps) to 11.352 Gbps and feature the industry's lowest power consumption with industry-leading long reach jitter performance. The BCM8155 provides additional support for Return to Zero (RZ) modulation. These next generation Broadcom PHYs are both fully integrated, multi source agreement (MSA)-compliant devices that support multi-rate applications including 8.5G Fibre Channel, OC-192 SONET/SDH, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), 10G Fibre Channel (10FC) and optical transport networks (OTNs)/OTU-2 data rates.

  Highlights/Key Facts:
  --  SONET/SDH and OTN equipment is required for long haul transmission and
      the most cost effective and widely deployed modulation in use today
      are the Non Return to Zero (NRZ) and Duo-binary (DB) formats. RZ
      modulation is more suitable for longer transmission distances because
      it is not adversely affected by fiber dispersion, however, it has not
      been widely deployed due to its higher cost and power consumption.
      Existing solutions in the market today require two-chips--a mux and an
      NRZ to RZ converter--that consume as much as 2.5 watts of power.
  --  Broadcom's expertise in 65nm design has made it possible to integrate
      the RZ modulation format into a cost effective device that consumes
      only 600 milliwatts (mW), or 50% less power than competing two-chip
      solutions, making the BCM8155 10G PHY ideally suited for OTN equipment
      that uses 300-pin MSA-compliant modules for long haul transmission.
  --  The BCM8155 and BCM8157:
      --  Are fully integrated MSA-compliant, multi-rate SONET/SDH, 10GbE,
          10FC and OTU-2 optical transport network transceivers that operate
          at 8.5GFC (8.5Gbps), OC-192 (9.953 Gbps), 10GbE (10.3125 Gbps),
          10FC (10.513 Gbps) or FEC data rates (i.e.
          10.664/10.709/11.096/11.318/11.352 Gbps).
      --  Support NRZ and DB modulation.
      --  Provide industry-leading low jitter generation of less than 200
          femtoseconds (or 2mUI RMS) and provide ample margin for designs
          required to meet the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
          and Telcordia® maximum specification limit of 10mUI RMS for jitter
          generation.
  --  The BCM8155 incorporates additional advanced features such as RZ
      modulation, duo-binary encoder, dispersion compensation, 10GHz clock
      output, 10G transmit pre-emphasis and pseudo random binary sequence
      (PRBS)  pattern generation and detection capabilities.
  --  The BCM8157 is targeted for use in line cards that interface to XFP
      modules in metro applications.

  Supporting Quotes:

Lorenzo Longo, Vice President & General Manager, Broadcom's High Speed Interconnect Products line of business

"Our new 10G PHY offerings extend our leadership by achieving the lowest power consumption, highest integration and best-in-class performance available. 65nm process technology enabled us to integrate the RZ modulation format to create a cost effective, low power solution that does not need additional chips or external modulators as required by competitive solutions."
