Motorola Doubles Shipments of WiMAX CPE and Dongles Again in Just Five Months; Receives Additional CPE Order from AXTEL for Its Growth in Mexico

Motorola device shipments now exceed two million; demand indicative of continued global momentum for WiMAX

LAS VEGAS, March 23 -- CTIA WIRELESS 2010 -- The Networks business of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT), the worldwide leader in developing and deploying WiMAX 802.16e networks and consumer devices, today announced it has shipped more than two million WiMAX devices, including customer premises equipment (CPE) and dongles. This milestone occurred in February 2010 - just five months after Motorola shipped its one millionth device in September 2009.

"These are impressive numbers by any measure, particularly since we've exceeded the pace of WiMAX device shipments we achieved last year when Motorola doubled its WiMAX device shipments in just six months," said Bruce Brda, senior vice president, Motorola Networks. "The continued demand for WiMAX devices and infrastructure is a testament to the traction WiMAX is gaining as it delivers the personal media experiences people want, regardless of where they are."

Since hitting the two million device shipment milestone, Motorola has also received a significant order from AXTEL for additional CPE units. AXTEL contracted with Motorola in 2008 for a WiMAX network to deploy high-speed wireless broadband across Mexico and now offers fixed WiMAX service with plans to offer nomadic WiMAX service to its customers eventually.

"With Motorola's WiMAX network and devices, we've been able to give our customers unprecedented access to their data, friends, information and entertainment, whether at home or on the go," said Ivan Alonso, Innovation and Technology executive director, AXTEL.

Momentum for WiMAX continues to grow around the world. "At the end of 2009, WiMAX service providers were covering more than 621 million people," said Ron Resnick, president and chairman of the WiMAX Forum®. "Based on that estimate and the traction we're seeing in the market, the WiMAX Forum now forecasts that by 2011, there will be more than one billion people across the world within WiMAX coverage."

Motorola now has 40 WiMAX contracts with operators worldwide. The business cases and usage models are as varied as the geographies they serve. Some operators are using a wholesale model, others are bridging the digital divide and providing connectivity where there was none, and still others are bringing "on the go" connectivity to commuters on mass transit trains. As product innovation continues and the ecosystem of WiMAX-embedded devices continues to grow, operators are finding more possibilities and ways to monetize their investment to profitably launch WiMAX services.

Motorola is leading the industry with award-winning, end-to-end WiMAX solutions that address the full scope of operators' deployment needs, including a new tier of products for operators wishing to deploy WiMAX networks in less populated markets or in those previously deemed unprofitable to enter. Motorola's new WiMAX ASN 1000 gateway lowers the initial cost of deploying a smaller network or in low teledensity areas while the indoor desktop CPEi 090, allows operators to pursue new market segments.

The Motorola WiMAX solutions portfolio includes access, core, devices, network management and services. Motorola's best-in-class quality assurance processes, along with a track record of WiMAX commercial deployments worldwide, offer service providers the confidence that they are getting a high-quality, reliable solution. Motorola's CPE and device portfolio includes models in 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz across a selection of outdoor and indoor desktop CPEs with capabilities ranging from data-only to combinations that include voice, data, and WiFi as well as USB dongles for WiMAX on the go. Motorola's WiMAX CPEs and devices are also available for deployment on non-Motorola WiMAX networks worldwide.

Motorola Networks business delivers fully integrated and customizable media solutions enabling operators to offer personalized, rich media experiences to their subscribers. As a global wireless infrastructure leader, Motorola is committed to 4G with WiMAX and LTE solutions that provide a way for operators to profitably meet the ever-growing demand for mobile broadband today while giving 2G and 3G customers a future path as we continue to support their legacy networks. Motorola brings its services, fourth-generation orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) platform and 25 years of wireless data systems innovation, experience and expertise to bear as operators - wireline, wireless, cable and telco - seek to evolve their networks for the future.

Scrutinizer 7.5 Network Analysis Suite Debuts at FOSE

Plixer International Partners with Winvale Group to Showcase its Flagship NetFlow and sFlow Analysis Software at the Top Government Tech Event of the Year

SANFORD, Maine, and FALLS CHURCH, Va., March 23 -- Plixer International, Inc., a leading global provider of network traffic monitoring and analysis tools, today announced that it has partnered with The Winvale Group to host the debut of Scrutinizer 7.5, the company's flagship NetFlow and sFlow analyzing software, at FOSE 2010, the most comprehensive event for government information technology (IT) professionals.

Plixer will offer live demos of Scrutinizer 7.5 at the Winvale booth #2516 throughout the FOSE event, March 23-25 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Plixer recently worked with Winvale to secure a GSA schedule, which makes Plixer's industry-leading network traffic monitoring and diagnostic solutions infinitely more accessible to government agencies. Plixer representatives will be on hand to discuss how Scrutinizer can help agencies ensure efficient network data flow to ward off crippling network failures, even across disparate facilities with varying bandwidth allocations.

"Government IT professionals face the same requirements and challenges as the private sector in terms of maximizing network uptime and optimizing data throughput to prevent bottlenecks," said Tom Cote, director of business development at Plixer International. "We look forward to showcasing how Scrutinizer can help government IT managers gain better visibility into network activity."

Scrutinizer 7.5 delivers the most comprehensive network-wide monitoring and reporting solution to enable the effective and efficient management of network traffic over NetFlow, sFlow, Netstream, jFlow, and other protocols. Scrutinizer analyzes and reports on top applications, conversations, flows, protocols, domains and geographic parameters across dozens of routers and switches. Exclusive to Scrutinizer 7.5, The Matrix graphical NetFlow visualization view provides a circular graphical view of the top hosts to illustrate at a glance which nodes are communicating with each other, providing a more intuitive, dynamic view of network traffic with color-coded path lines to illustrate incoming and outgoing traffic.

"Government agencies will also benefit from the enhanced security and permissions controls that Scrutinizer provides," Cote said. "Our products provide complete flexibility in allowing visibility into secured access areas.

Motorola Introduces New Power-Packed, Fourth-Generation WiMAX CPEi 825 for Voice and Data

New CPE delivers greater uplink performance while lowering operator capital and operating expenses

LAS VEGAS, March 23 -- CTIA WIRELESS 2010 -- The Networks business of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT), the worldwide leader in developing and deploying WiMAX 802.16e networks, today announced the latest WiMAX device added to its extensive portfolio of customer premises equipment (CPE) and USB dongles.

The new CPEi 825 wireless broadband modem supports data and voice with an integrated voice over IP (VoIP) port. It builds upon the functionality of earlier CPEs in the portfolio to deliver improved uplink performance, network operations, management and self diagnostics, meaning a better experience for customers and decreased expense for operators due to the unit's remote management capability.

The CPEi 825 also features multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) functionality, a highly sensitive receiver, omni-directional performance, high-power output and high-gain polarized antennas with switched transmit diversity. These factors stretch the service level areas of the network, improve cell-edge performance, reduce uplink overhead on the access points and increase uplink efficiency, which is the limiting factor in most WiMAX network deployments. Together, these factors improve the end-user experience and enhance the overall site capacity.

"The CPEi 825 is based on Motorola's proven WiMAX CPE experience gained from the performance of our devices in dozens of networks operating around the world," said Bruce Brda, senior vice president, Motorola Networks. "This is our fourth-generation WiMAX CPE platform, and with each generation, we build in more functionality while driving down the prices so our operators can compete more effectively."

The CPEi 825 has one data port and one voice access port. It also features a firewall for security, providing an effective solution for residential communication needs. The desktop unit can be mounted on a wall with an optional accessory that lets users position the unit in the best possible location for improved indoor performance.

Motorola's latest CPE features easy-to-read signal strength indicators and WiMAX network, data and voice status indicators on the front of the device that are visible from a greater than 240-degree view angle. This feature makes it easier for users to check the status of the device.

In addition, the Motorola CPEi 825 supports remote management capability, allowing management and health monitoring of the devices from a standards-based centralized device management server, such as OMA-DM or TR-069 platforms. Network operators may further benefit from using Motorola's NBBS remote device management software platform - built on industry-standard protocols, providing maximum flexibility for the operator with multi-vendor CPE support - allowing effective, reliable management of all configurable devices, including support for TR-069, OMA-DM, SNMP, WIB, Telnet and HTTP DL Server - streamlining operations, improving customer care and delivering enhanced services.

The CPEi 825 will be available in the 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz bands beginning in Q3 2010.

Motorola Networks business delivers fully integrated and customizable media solutions enabling operators to offer personalized, rich media experiences to their subscribers. As a global wireless infrastructure leader, Motorola is committed to 4G with WiMAX and LTE solutions that provide a way for operators to profitably meet the ever-growing demand for mobile broadband today while giving 2G and 3G customers a future path as we continue to support their legacy networks. Motorola brings its services, fourth-generation orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) platform and 25 years of wireless data systems innovation, experience and expertise to bear as operators - wireline, wireless, cable and telco - seek to evolve their networks for the future.

Novatel Wireless Launches NovaDrive Cloud-Based Storage Service

MiFi Customers Gain Access to Unlimited Storage, 256 bit Encryption and Remote Wipe if Lost or Stolen

LAS VEGAS, March 23 -- International CTIA Wireless 2010 (1506, Central Hall 3) - Novatel Wireless, Inc., (NASDAQ:NVTL) a leading provider of wireless broadband solutions, today announced the launch of NovaDrive(TM) powered by Nomadesk technology, a MiFi(TM) Trusted Partner. NovaDrive gives Novatel Wireless MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot customers, as well as other mobile broadband users, the ability to share, synchronize, encrypt, back-up and store files to access from any laptop or web-based, hand-held mobile device. Novatel customers can download a free 30-day trial of NovaDrive at http://www.NovaDrive.net.

The MiFi platform represents the industry's first Intelligent Mobile Hotspot, a new product category for mobile broadband that lets users put their world of content, services and connectivity in their pocket. Unlike existing router solutions that require an external broadband USB modem and serve only to provide connectivity, the MiFi platform creates a personal cloud of high-speed Internet connectivity that can be easily shared between multiple users and up to five Wi-Fi devices such as laptops, tablets, cameras, gaming devices and multimedia players.

NovaDrive gives mobile users increased access to their data from any location, while providing an extra layer of security and unlimited storage.*  With this launch, Novatel Wireless will offer existing MiFi customers and other broadband users a free downloadable NovaDrive account at http://www.NovaDrive.net. Customers can sign-up to receive a personal file server with unlimited capacity, and all the other NovaDrive features, for approximately $50 per year, or a business file server, which provides unlimited storage and collaboration with an unlimited number of team members, for $15 per month.  For added protection, NovaDrive also supports TheftGuard(TM) technology, where users can shred or restore data remotely in the event of theft and they can even locate the mobile device using GoogleMaps.

"This offering will provide our existing MiFi community, and other potential MiFi users, with premier cloud storage services seen in the market today," said Rob Hadley, CMO, Novatel Wireless, Inc. "We are very happy to bring to market a cloud-based solution with unlimited storage capacity, 256-bit encryption, and added security service to store and share photos, videos, presentations and documents through any mobile device. We look forward to expanding this offering quickly to support the MiFi local storage which allows seamless access and synchronization to the SD removable storage on MiFi to and from the cloud."

Millions of people risk losing their unprotected, critical data every day. As the amount of unprotected data stored on multiple devices increases, it becomes harder to synchronize and easier to lose. Keeping data secure, synchronized, backed up and available can be expensive and require in-house IT expertise. When customers are working on the road, NovaDrive allows individuals and business teams to secure, sync, share and backup data with no limits or change in behavior. NovaDrive acts just like a hard drive, storing important documents in one place with remote access. Users simply drag and drop their docs into the mobile file server, and files are immediately encrypted, backed up and available for file sharing.

Ceragon Unveils Wireless Backhaul Solutions for All-Indoor and All-Outdoor Environments at CTIA Wireless

New Solutions Offer Best-in-Class Spectral Efficiency and Unmatched System Gain, Saving Space and Reducing Equipment Costs

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 23 -- Ceragon Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: CRNT), the provider of high-capacity, LTE/4G-ready wireless backhaul networks, today announced that it will launch two new solutions at CTIA Wireless, March 23-25, in Las Vegas. The solutions include the multi-unit FibeAir IP-10 All-Indoor Compact for North American operators, and the FibeAir Outdoor Enclosure, a multi-unit solution for pole-mount, wall, or roof-top installation.

Both platforms allow operators to significantly increase capacity and networking performance in nodal applications, enabling operators to gain cost benefits through best-in-class spectral efficiency and unmatched system gain. This not only enables higher network availability and longer link-spans, it also allows the use of smaller antennas, further reducing equipment cost, rent and tower loads.

The new Ceragon solutions are ideal for pure-IP applications as well for migrating legacy networks to IP using a single hardware design, as the solutions support the entire Ceragon FibeAir product line for IP/Ethernet and Native2 (native IP/native TDM) transmission.

Please visit Ceragon at CTIA Wireless, Booth #2932.

"When deploying backhaul networks you need a complete set of tools in order to cope with a variety of installation scenarios. These include long haul and rural applications, where networking equipment is located in indoor environments, to short haul applications where there is no legacy infrastructure and the networking equipment must be installed outdoors," said Ira Palti, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ceragon. "The two new solutions we're announcing at CTIA Wireless will allow operators in North America and around the world to benefit from the same advanced feature-set of our trusted FibeAir platforms, while eliminating the need to deal with a host of 'real-estate' issues. But most important, operators reduce rental, maintenance and operational costs."

  Key Facts / Highlights:

  Ceragon's FibeAir IP-10 All-Indoor Compact Enclosure:
  --  Combines all radio components for 1+0/1+1/2+0 configurations in a
      single, compact casing allowing for simple integration and
      maintenance.
  --  Allows operators to deploy high-capacity, long-haul microwave systems

      offers the highest system gain - allowing for more robust and reliable
      wireless backhaul networks.
  --  Fully compliant with US NEBS standards

  Ceragon's FibeAir Outdoor Enclosure:
  --  Allows operators to set up complete wireless backhaul networks in
      all-outdoor environments using a multi-unit design that is ideal for
      any pole-mount, wall or roof-top installation. The new solution is
      best suited for base station sites in which adding indoor equipment is
      either impossible or prohibitively expensive.
  --  Helps to minimize logistics, reduce floor space and decrease rental
      costs, as the fully weather proof solution allows for speedy
      introduction of microwave backhaul under any climate conditions. It
      requires zero additional footprint at the central office or in a
      communications room, and helps to significantly reduce power
      consumption, maintenance and operational expenditures.
  --  The solution complies with NEBS, FCC and European electrical,
      environmental and safety standards as well as with IP-55 certification
      for water and dust proofing.
  --  Offers versatile deployment scenarios including protected Ethernet and
      TDM rings, complex nodal configurations and radio schemes, such as
      1+1, 2+2, 4+0 in an all outdoor environment.
  --  The FibeAir Outdoor Enclosure provides passive heat exchange, allowing
      for greener deployments, and saving on power and air conditioning
      costs. Optional features include and a heating unit for frigid

Consumers Now Have More Ways to Stylishly Protect their Gadgets with Seven New iPad Products and the 'I Make My Case' Online Personalization Tool for BlackBerry Smartphones

LAS VEGAS, March 23 -- Case-mate, a designer of innovative accessories for mobile devices, today announced seven new iPad accessories and the latest version of its extremely popular online personalization tool, I Make My Case, which gives consumers the ability to collaborate with trendsetting global artists to create one-of-a kind covers, now for the BlackBerry® Bold(TM) 9700 and BlackBerry® Curve(TM) 8520 smartphones.

"Case-mate is committed to giving consumers fashion-forward accessories that support their personal style," said Shashi Reddy, founder and CEO of case-mate. "We believe that these eight products add unique personality to our growing array of accessories already on the market and give iPad and BlackBerry users new ways to protect their devices in style."

I Make My Case

First announced at CES 2010, 'I Make My Case' is now available for BlackBerry® smartphones. 'I Make My Case' is the first web site of its kind in the mobile accessories space that allows users to create their own original composition by re-mixing the designs of internationally-renowned graphic artists, including Joshua Davis, Deanne Cheuk, Thomas Hooper, Matt Moore, Hannah Stouffer, Ray Frenden, Anthony Yankovic, Nigel Dennis, Shadow Chen, Chuck Anderson and more. Consumers who want the end-result without the effort can purchase a pre-designed case from the site as well.

Designed for true customization, case-mate's 'I Make My Case' allows users to choose all elements of their case including background color, unique effects and one-of-a-kind illustrations. Using a state-of-the-art 3D sublimation printing process that embeds ink directly into the case, case-mate ensures that the cases will not scratch or abrade with daily use.

Beginning March 23rd, consumers can create their own case for select BlackBerry smartphones at http://www.imakemycase.com/blackberry. Pre-designed cases will be available for $34.99 and customized made-to-order cases will be available for $39.99 per case. Finished cases will begin shipping in mid-April.

      protection, consumers can remix art from world-renowned artists to
      create a completely unique, one-of-a-kind case for their iPad.
  --  Tough: The Hybrid Tough case for the iPad uses the protective power of
      dual layers. A form-fitting silicone skin surrounds the iPad
      completely, absorbing each impact or hard knock. Wrapped around the
      skin is an ABS plastic shell for complete security, adding another
      level of protection - and making for a firm grip.
  --  Gelli: The Gelli adds a splash of color while keeping the iPad safe
      with a fully protective, cutting-edge flexible thermoplastic material.
      The Gelli is soft, light and sports a unique pattern to guarantee the
      iPad will stand out.
  --  Felt Folio: Sporting a side-opening and leather accents, the Felt
      Folio includes light storage with additional pockets and keeps the
      iPad secure with a magnetic strap while on the go.
  --  Leather Commuter: This executive folio made of premium tan leather
      offers magnetic locks embedded into the case for a sleek protective
      fit.
  --  Nylon Folio: Created out of a black ballistic nylon material, this
      splash-resistant folio is the perfect basic for a minimalistic
      mindset.
  --  Stand: An innovative stand for the iPad, the stand offers both
      landscape and portrait modes for viewing. Its unique design collapses
      and snaps together for easy storage when not in use.

An increasing number of Consumers Energy customers receive and pay their bill electronically.  The new Web site makes that option easier, saving customers time and money.

The new site allows customers to manage their account online via eServices at http://www.consumersenergy.com/eservices   Customer user name and password will remain the same for their eServices profile.  Customer eServices account information and payment options also will remain the same.

New Online Workforce Saves Businesses Time & Money

CloudCrowd Revolutionizes Crowdsourcing

SAN FRANCISCO, March 23 -- CloudCrowd, a new crowdsourcing solution, is saving businesses time and money with its revolutionary Labor-as-a-Service platform.  By using the Internet to tap into vast pools of talent and creativity, CloudCrowd is helping companies reduce overhead, increase efficiency, and lower costs by breaking large projects into smaller tasks, and distributing them to its virtual workforce.

According to CloudCrowd's CEO, Alex Edelstein, "First generation crowdsourcing solutions only offered a limited range of feasible tasks, and they required too much management and delivered poor work quality.  CloudCrowd is the next generation of crowdsourcing because it can handle much more complex tasks. Plus it's fast, accurate, and very reliable."

Working closely with their clients, CloudCrowd's team of project managers and developers manage every step, from creating the most efficient way to get tasks done to delivering the finished work.  The company distributes tasks to its online registered workers at CloudCrowd Workspace.  Each does a portion of a client's project, allowing tasks to be completed much more quickly than they would be done in-house, or even with traditional outsourcing.

CloudCrowd's sophisticated credibility framework runs the task results through a proprietary reputation management process to ensure the accuracy of the finished work. CloudCrowd currently has more than 10,000 workers.  Each earns their own Credibility Rating which determines the types of tasks they are offered.  Workers are able to see how much each separate task pays, and earnings are distributed through PayPal.  CloudCrowd has already posted more than 60,000 individual tasks in a single day.

Many types of complex tasks are possible, including content creation, content moderation, internet research, audio and video transcription, foreign language translations, image categorization, data entry, and data processing.  Dozens of industries will benefit from CloudCrowd's reliable time and money-saving solutions, including Retailing, Wholesaling, Distribution, Publishing, Technology, Advertising, Market/Consumer Research, Social Media, Education, and many others.

Beceem Launches New 4G-WiMAX Chip with Unprecedented Performance Capabilities

BCSx350 Represents Most Advanced 4G-WiMAX Platform Ever Designed

LAS VEGAS, March 23 -- CTIA -- Beceem Communications, the leading provider of 4G chips, announced today the availability of its BCSx350 chip, the company's sixth-generation WiMAX chip.  The BCSx350 includes a patented "Twin-Turbo" dual transmit uplink technology that provides up to 6dB of performance gain compared to traditional Wave 2 uplink technology, and represents the most advanced 4G-WiMAX platform ever designed.

"Performance and market leadership are the hallmarks of our 4G products," said Lars Johnsson, vice president of marketing and business development for Beceem Communications.  "We continue to invest heavily in improving the performance of WiMAX networks and devices, and our new BCSx350 chip is by far the most capable 4G-WiMAX chip given its further increased uplink performance and continuously reduced power consumption."

The BCSx350 4G-WiMAX chip employs leading-edge MIMO decoder technology and interference-cancellation algorithms that can increase the downlink performance at both high- and lowsignal strength to improve throughput and hand-off performance.

The BCSx350 includes additional enhancements to Beceem's industry-leading 4G-Turbo uplink technology and raises the peak performance gains by up to 6dB compared to traditional Wave 2 uplink technology when transmitting simultaneously through 2 transmitters. The "Twin Turbo" technology supports peakpower transmit diversity to exploit channel diversity, true uplink beamforming for linkbudget gains in weak signal conditions and uplink spatial multiplexing for throughput increases in rich-scatter environments.

The BCSx350 comes in two models: the BCSM350 for mobile/embedded devices and BCS5350 for high-performance, low-cost CPE (customer premise equipment) that simultaneously support Data, Voice and WiFi on a single chip.  The BSCx350 started sampling to customers in January of 2010 and is expected to go into mass production in Q2/2010.

About Beceem Communications

Beceem is a leading provider of 4G semiconductors and offers a number of single-chip solutions optimized for mobile devices and CPE markets. Beceem's products are WiMAX certified, exclusively power the CLEAR and Sprint 4G networks in the United States and are validated against the WiMAX base stations from major OEMs. http://www.beceem.com/

Regus Expands Global Telepresence Reach with Cable&Wireless Worldwide and Polycom

Regus hits key milestone with openings of its immersive telepresence suites in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago

NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES and CHICAGO, March 23 -- With the fourth in a series of four global launches Regus, , the world's largest provider of innovative workplace solutions, today announced that it is opening three brand-new immersive telepresence suites - in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago - based on Cable&Wireless Worldwide's Managed Video Conferencing (MVC) solution, using telepresence solutions from Polycom, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLCM).

With the increasing pressure to cut travel spending, increase productivity and reduce environmental impact, Regus' telepresence offering will help its customers stay connected and provide them with ultimate flexibility for their business operations.

The new facilities are part of Cable&Wireless Worldwide and Regus' joint initiative to implement market-leading high-definition telepresence suites at Regus' premier global business centers using Cable&Wireless Worldwide's Managed Video Conferencing (MVC) solution, which was announced in April of last year.  Cable&Wireless Worldwide selected Polycom to provide the Polycom RealPresence Experience (RPX) immersive telepresence suites for the Regus centers.

"We are redefining the world of work, offering business of all sizes flexible, innovative and state-of-the-art locations in which to meet, work and collaborate," said Guillermo Rotman, CEO for Regus Americas. "In response to rising demand from these organizations, we are continually enhancing and expanding the facilities in our global network, as we look to better enable the professionals of today and tomorrow. Telepresence solutions will play a fundamental role in helping us achieve this objective."

"The demand for immersive telepresence in Regus business centers worldwide is yet another point of validation that visual communication is becoming a mission-critical business tool, and will be ubiquitous within two to three years. Regus customers will now be able to take advantage of Polycom's immersive telepresence experience in a natural, 'across the table' way and be as productive and efficient - just as if they were in the same room," said Bob Hagerty, CEO of Polycom. "They can connect to Regus facilities, their own offices or with their customers, vendors and partners anywhere in the world via telepresence. Polycom's open standards approach allows this to happen seamlessly."

"In the past, video conferencing has been held back by poor-quality communications networks that made images jump and voices crackle.  Regus has chosen to run its telepresence suites over our global next-generation network which makes these issues a thing of the past," said Rob Breuche, Managing Director, Cable&Wireless Americas.  "Regus is opening up multimedia conferencing across that network to the entire world, transforming the way that new customers carry out meetings and giving existing video users the opportunity to expand their footprint without the need for significant investment ."

All Regus telepresence and videocommunication suites can be booked at anytime and from anywhere in the world through a sophisticated online booking tool including global real-time meeting room and telepresence/VC availability - http://www.regus.com.

Usability Sciences Corporation Launches WebIQ Pharma - An Intelligent Survey Tool That Allows Pharma Sites to Measure and Improve Website Effectiveness

IRVING, Texas, March 23 -- Usability Sciences Corporation launches its WebIQ Pharma offering, an intelligent survey solution that provides pharmaceutical sites with metrics to answer critical questions about site and content effectiveness, to increase return on investment (ROI).  Usability Sciences has provided usability and user experience research to Merck (MRK), Eli Lilly (LLY), Novartis (NVS) and Ortho McNeil for over ten years.

Pharmaceutical brands build websites primarily to drive drug adoption. The brands want site visitors who have never tried the drug to make appointments with their doctors to discuss the drug. The brands want visitors who have been prescribed the drug to keep taking it and get their prescriptions refilled. Most importantly, the brands need to know which content areas drive the desired behaviors and which content areas do not.  Establishing the link between visitor response to the site and the content that determined their response has heretofore been extremely difficult. WebIQ Pharma makes it simple and, compared to the labor-intensive alternatives, extremely cost effective.

"WebIQ Pharma employs intelligent survey technology and intelligent dashboards in delivering this patented solution," said Usability Sciences President Jeff Schueler. "The intelligent survey technology allows the brand to ask questions of site visitors based on where they went on the site and what content they saw. WebIQ Pharma dashboards, rather than deliver more 'dumb' data, provide answers to the site's key business questions."

Usability Sciences developed the methodology specifically for the pharmaceutical industry, where brand sites often carry high costs but generate relatively low traffic. WebIQ Pharma arms the brand with a continuous stream of answers to drug adoption questions and allows them to constantly improve site stickiness, conversion, and ROI. WebIQ Pharma is flexible and can be customized to fit any brand's needs and preferences in terms of options and pricing.

More information can be found at http://www.usabilitysciences.com/solutions/webiq/webiq-pharma or by contacting the company directly at info@usabilitysciences.com.

About Usability Sciences:

With more than 20 years of experience in the usability and user experience arena, Usability Sciences has developed an industry-leading portfolio of research methodologies that delivers robust and actionable results to its Fortune 500 client base.
