V2 Technology Announces Video Enhanced All-Communication-in-One Server for SMB Market

FREMONT, Calif., March 19 -- V2 Technology, founded in Silicon Valley, California, announces its first Video Enhanced All-Communication-in-One server for Small and Midsize Business (SMB) users.  It is a Universal Connection platform based on its innovative and Video-QoS-efficient architecture.

"When the IT technology advanced so dramatically, there is a real need for SMB to enjoy this as their big enterprise counterparts do in communication capability, such as upgrading existing communication systems to embrace telepresence and collaboration to increase a company's productivity while cutting big travel expenses," Ting Liu, President of V2, comments.  "However, complexity, poor performance, and high costs prohibit SMBs from taking advantage of this convergence.   Now, V2's Universal Connection Server SBS-8100 (V2 UC Server), based on its patent pending and simplified "UC SolutionNet©" platform, brings a total solution to benefit SMBs."  "We developed our own hardware, OS, firmware and all software to make this vision a reality," Company Chairman and CTO, the inventor of the V2 platform architecture, Tom Lin, comments.

V2 UC Server consolidates multiple communication systems and networks such as PBX (PSTN and IP), Switch/Router, Video Conference, and Video Surveillance into a single highly integrated system in ONE BOX to support Universal Connection at both communication and application levels seamlessly.

Any user can simply click to connect any other users anywhere in the company, or remote/foreign office for not only PSTN or VoIP voice call, but also high quality video call and video conference-telepresence.  V2 UC Server supports up to 100 concurrent voice users and up to 10 concurrent telepresence sessions.

V2 UC Server also integrates data networking with 3.2 Gbps switching capacity.  It supports xDSL, WAN, Ethernet, VPN and WiFi.

V2 UC Server also integrates surveillance systems seamlessly into telecom infrastructure. Authorized users can receive alert notification promptly from the server upon an intrusion event. They can easily dial in to monitor surveillance cameras from PCs or mobile phones with video anytime.  V2 UC Server supports up to 20 cameras simultaneously.

V2 UC Server performs more functions than conventional multiple systems and current telepresence systems do at a much lower cost.

Furthermore, the power of application can now be elevated to a new level due to its Universal Connection capability only possible in an All-in-One system.  V2 UC server is truly a paradigm shift SMB solution.

IBM Adds 200 Partners to LotusLive Cloud Services

Delivers Optimized System for Small and Medium Business Collaboration

ARMONK, N.Y., March 19 -- IBM (NYSE:IBM) today announced more than 200 partners are planning to sell to their customers LotusLive cloud services.  The news comes in just two months since the introduction of the LotusLive partner program as evidence of increasing migration to the cloud for collaboration capabilities.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO)

New integrated solutions from partners, including Silanis and Skype, are bringing LotusLive to new global customers in the insurance, banking and other industries around the world.  In addition, LotusLive has many other market leading partners including  PGi, Intercall, Ascendant, Insight, and Integrasys to name a few.

As part of today's news, IBM is also extending the capabilities of Lotus Foundations by integrating DB2 Express database software into the core appliance offering free of charge to better serve SMB customers.  There is no database size limit, no limit on the number of instances or databases per server and no restriction on the number of users.

The news reinforces IBM's commitment to SMB customers who require IT solutions that are easy to use and acquire. These developments are appealing to Microsoft customers and partners in the wake of Microsoft's discontinuation of its flagship offering for SMB, Windows Essential Business Server. Microsoft announced its withdrawal on March 7, leaving partners and customers looking for alternatives.

"We can rely on IBM to address our midmarket customer needs unlike Microsoft who has left us in the cold with this abrupt withdrawal of Enterprise Business Server," said Bernie Leung, CEO of MESA Technology. "I will invest more with our IBM partnership and guide Small Business Server customers to move to IBM since I don't see how resellers can make money or avoid channel conflict with Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite."

"Whether it's in the cloud with LotusLive or on-premise with Lotus Foundations, IBM is making information technology easier to use for customers and simpler to provide for partners," said Alistair Rennie, General Manager, IBM Lotus Software, "through a hybrid cloud and on-premise delivery model."

A Cloudy Future

Many businesses are migrating to the cloud -- the IBM cloud.  In fact, IBM's LotusLive collaboration cloud has attracted more than 18 million users from businesses of all sizes within its first year.     LotusLive delivers a full range of collaborative services including  cloud-based email, web conferencing, instant messaging, file sharing, relationship management and project tracking, enabling people to work with anyone from anywhere, in any company or organization. Benefitting from the cost-efficiencies of the cloud, LotusLive also offers the reliable, scalable and private business support for which IBM is known.

"We saw what was already out in the market  and we wanted to offer the best-of-breed in a subscription-based model," said Shoby John, CEO of Integrasys.  "LotusLive represents that."

IBM is also offering clients and partners free trials of several cloud services.  Some trials have expanded from 15 to 30 days covering LotusLive Meetings, LotusLive Connections, LotusLive iNotes and LotusLive Engage, all of which are capable of working together as a seamless suite.

  --  LotusLive Engage encompasses the full range of LotusLive collaboration
      services combining social networking, Web conferencing, file storing
      and sharing, instant messaging and activity management.
  --  LotusLive Meetings is an integrated online Web conferencing service
      always available for use and designed with security as a top priority.
      LotusLive Connections is an innovative set of Web-based collaboration
      services combined with social networking capabilities, featuring file
      sharing, business instant messaging, activity management and
      networking.
  --  LotusLive iNotes, starting at just $3 per user per month, is IBM's
      flexible yet secure cloud mail service that blends reliability and
      privacy.

"LotusLive allows people to go to a hybrid model that allows you to collaborate within your company but also go outside the firewall.   Another key benefit of cloud technology is the immediacy of the service.   You go online and within 13 seconds your collaborating with the world," said Raymond Sembler, senior vice president, PGi.

  IBM Bolsters Support for SMB

IBM is announcing enhancements to Lotus Foundations with the integration of DB2 Express-C as part of the offering.  Software application providers can also take advantage of autonomic features making their applications easier to manage and deploy without on-site IT support.

Now business partners and application developers can develop and deploy, at no charge, applications that require a high performance, highly reliable and scalable database.  Along with support for all leading programming languages, development environments, and the open SQL standard, the DB2 software also includes advanced features such as native XML support, and enterprise grade security for compliance with demanding government and industry regulations. DB2 Express-C is fully integrated with Lotus Foundations user management and backup processes to deliver hands-off operations that are required for midmarket solutions.

IBM's hybrid solution platform allows application providers to rapidly build and integrate their applications,  delivering them on-premise using a hardware appliance and in the cloud through LotusLive.  This allows small business and midmarket users to focus on their business priorities and work smarter without worrying about  IT and where the content resides.

Emakina Group: Slight Sales Growth Despite Difficult Economic Situation

BRUSSELS, March 19, 2010--     Emakina Group (Alternext Brussels: ALEMK) today communicates
its consolidated results for the year 2009. Sales continued to grow by
1%.Group EBITDA improved significantly during the second semester 2009,
reaching 10.6% of sales compared to 3.6% for the first semester of 2009 and
9.7% for the second semester of 2008.

    During 2009, Emakina Group sales totaled 31 782 957 EUR
compared to 31 484 834 EUR during the previous year, representing an increase
of 1%, but at a level lower than expected, due to the economic downturn.
EBITDA amounted to 2 328 409 EUR in 2009 (or 7.3% of sales) compared to 2 686
862 EUR (or 8.5% of sales) in the prior year. As a reminder, EBITDA at June
30 2009 amounted to 530 137 EUR, which means and EBITDA of 1 798 272 EUR for
the second half of the year compared to 1 709 556 EUR for the second half of
2008. This improvement is the result of various measures announced in the
half yearly 2009 report.

    The recurring result for 2009 amounted to 225 717 EUR compared
to 854 636 EUR in 2008, mainly due to the evolution of EBIT and due to the
decrease of the financial result by 104 245 EUR.

    Net profit before tax fell from 900 554 EUR in 2008 to 31 632
EUR in 2009 due to the evolution of the recurring result combined with
non-recurring charges of 225 061 EUR.

    The deferred tax impact (related to the capitalization of tax
losses carried forward) fell from an income of 281 917 EUR to a charge of
-457 EUR in 2009 while tax charges fell from 792 196 EUR to 412 075 EUR
respectively.

    Net result (before amortization of goodwill) amounted to 608
117 EUR in 2009 compared to 1 281 275 EUR in 2008.

    For the second time in its history, the Board of Directors of
Emakina Group will propose to the Shareholders' Meeting on April 22, 2010, a
total gross dividend of 250 000 EUR, amounting to a gross (net) dividend per
share of 0.07150 EUR (0.06077 EUR).

    Several elements influenced the 2009 annual results:

    The economic crisis had an indirect effect on Emakina mainly
during the first semester of 2009, in particular due to customers in the
financial, automobile and air transport sectors.

    Moreover, the sales process became lengthier and required
increased commercial efforts. -

   
    - The legally required indexation of salaries on January 1,
      2009 weighed on margins in Belgium.

    - Despite the economic downturn, sales continued to increase
      for the 5th consecutive year, in particular due to the synergies
      developed between Emakina Group subsidiaries, to attract new
      international clients. Emakina Belgium and Emakina.NL thus worked
      jointly to create Yunomi, an online women's community developed for the
      Benelux area by Unilever. Similarly, Emakina Belgium and Emakina.EU, a
      new agency specialized in European and International Institutions,
      partnered in October 2009, to obtain an important framework contract
      with the European Commission (Directorate General for Health and
      Consumers) in the field of audiovisual services and media training.

    Emakina Group's management took the following measures to
support growth and reinforce margins:

   
    - Increased use of reporting tools developed from the existing
      integrated ERPs to optimize project management and track their
      profitability.

    - Emakina Group faces numerous opportunities that have arisen
      from the technological changes that were speeded up by the current
      economic situation. The media and advertising world was particularly
      shaken in 2009. In this context, Emakina Group wants to be a major
      actor, striving to help its clients to take advantage of these changes.

    - At 2009 end, Emakina concluded a commercial partnership with
      the German group Pixelpark AG, thus creating the means to respond on a
      pan-european scale to the needs of its existing and future
      international customers who require a large geographical presence in
      these markets.

    Prospects for 2010

    Emakina foresees a slightly more positive economic environment
in 2010. In this context, Emakina expects moderate sales growth, due to
several key elements: pluri-annual contracts mentioned above, increased
commercial efforts in 2009, commercial partnership with Pixelpark... Margins
should also evolve positively.

    External audit

    The auditor has confirmed that his review of the consolidated
financial statements has not revealed any significant matters requiring
adjustments to the accounting information included in this press release.

VirnetX Patent Claims Confirmed Valid in Dispute With Microsoft

US Patent Office Confirms Three Claims

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., March 19 -- VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSE Amex: VHC), a secure real-time communications and collaboration technology company, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), in a letter dated January 19, 2010, confirmed the validity of three claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,188,180 that are at issue in its patent infringement suit against Microsoft.

In a lawsuit filed February 2007, VirnetX alleged that Microsoft willingly infringed two of its U.S. Patent Nos. 6,502,135 and 7,188,180 by including virtual private network (VPN) technology in Microsoft's Windows and Office Communications Server products.  Microsoft requested a reexamination of the two VirnetX patents in December 2009.

On March 16, 2010, a jury awarded VirnetX a $105,750,000 verdict against Microsoft Corporation for infringing the same two VirnetX patents. The Jury also found that the asserted claims of the VirnetX patents were valid and that Microsoft's patent infringement was willful.  VirnetX will request injunctive relief.

On March 17, 2010, VirnetX filed a new motion against Microsoft alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,502,135 and 7,188,180 by Microsoft's Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 software products.

"In light of recent news coverage, we want to be clear that the USPTO has already confirmed three of our claims as valid and we believe the rest of the claim reexamination process will favor us," said Kendall Larsen, VirnetX President and CEO.  "We believe in the validity of the patents in our suit with Microsoft and are confident that the USPTO will uphold them."

About VirnetX

VirnetX Holding Corporation, a secure real-time communications and collaboration technology company, is engaged in commercializing its patent portfolio, derived from a Central Intelligence Agency security project, by developing a licensing program, as well as developing software products designed to create a secure environment for real-time communications such as instant messaging and Voice over Internet Protocol.  The Company's patent portfolio includes over 48 U.S. and international patents and pending applications which provide the foundation for the Company's unique GABRIEL Connection Technology.

AT&T Makes Messaging More Affordable While Traveling Abroad

New Messaging Package Offers AT&T Customers Significant Savings When Sending Messages From More Than 90 Countries

DALLAS, March 19 -- Budget-conscious globetrotters have less reason to wait to share pictures, videos or other highlights from their overseas excursions. AT&T* today announced a new Global Messaging 50 Package that makes it more affordable to send text, picture, video and instant messages while abroad.

AT&T's new Global Messaging 50 Package lets customers send 50 mobile messages - including text, instant, picture and video messages - from more than 90 countries for a flat rate of $10.00 per month. Customers may add it to their current calling plan beginning on March 20.

AT&T's new package offers customers a significant savings when compared to international roaming pay-per-use rates for messaging, which are $.50 per message sent for text and instant messages and $1.30 per message sent for picture and video messages. With AT&T's Global Messaging 50 Package, the $10.00 flat-rate monthly charge equates to $.20 per message sent--any message. Additionally, messages sent over the monthly limit are charged an overage rate of $.40 per message--also lower than the pay-per-use rates for sending messages while abroad.

Messages received while abroad will be charged according to the customer's regular domestic plan.

To sign up for the new Global Messaging 50 Package or other international plans, customers can stop by their local AT&T store, call 866-MOBILITY or visit att.com/mywireless.

For information on AT&T's international services, including tips for traveling abroad, visit http://www.att.com/global.

AT&T has the broadest international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, delivering voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in 195 countries. AT&T also offers voice and data roaming coverage on 130 major cruise ships, as well as 3G services in more than 115 countries.

Activation fees, taxes and other charges apply.

+AT&T imposes a Regulatory Cost Recovery Charge of up to $1.25 to help defray costs incurred in complying with obligations and charges imposed by State and Federal telecom regulations; State and Federal Universal Service charges; and surcharges for government assessments on AT&T. These fees are not taxes or government-required charges.

3G Services not available in all areas. Limited time offer.  Requires a compatible device and domestic messaging plan. The plan is only for messaging sent from countries/carriers included in AT&T's international roaming zone. Messaging sent outside AT&T's international roaming zone will incur standard pay-per-use international messaging roaming fees. Availability, quality of coverage and services while roaming are not guaranteed. Allotted messages, monthly fee, overage rate, and countries/carriers are subject to change.

Global Messaging 50 Package is provided by AT&T Mobility.

Verizon Wireless Focuses on Efforts to Ensure That Its LTE Network Will Be the Largest 4G Network in the Nation

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., March 19 -- As tech watchers prepare for next week's CTIA WIRELESS 2010® convention in Las Vegas, Verizon Wireless confirmed today that it's on track with building the nation's first 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) wireless network.  A host of ecosystem partners, along with the company's network engineers, equipment vendors, backhaul providers and device design experts, are preparing for the launch of the highly anticipated fourth-generation network later this year.

Verizon Wireless engineers report trials showing peak download speeds of 40 to 50 megabits per second (Mbps) and peak upload speeds of 20 to 25 Mbps and expects LTE average data rates of 5 to 12 Mbps on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink in real-world environments.

Running on a nationwide license won at auction in 2008, the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network is being built to ultimately have the broadest geographic coverage and to leverage the deepest spectrum capabilities by using a commercial broadband technology that is unrivaled in its ability to extend into buildings.

Lowell McAdam, president and chief executive officer of Verizon Wireless, said, "The CTIA WIRELESS convention is the perfect setting to focus on the important behind-the-scenes work we are doing with more than 25 partners to bring 4G LTE to life.  Our progress is good, and we're confident that the next generation of wireless network technology will deliver the speed, reliability and bandwidth that businesses, government and consumers have been anticipating.  Our work on 4G LTE underscores our continuing commitment to provide the best wireless experience available today.  Building and operating great wireless networks is what we do, and everything we do at Verizon Wireless - from devices to applications to solutions - stems from that foundation of network know-how."

The Path to 4G LTE

A variety of partners are working within the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE ecosystem, leading to robust business models with strong value chains.  Verizon Wireless continues to create, foster and support these on-ramps to LTE, including through the LTE Innovation Center, Open Development and the Verizon Developer Community.  Leaders from each of these efforts will join Verizon Wireless Chief Technical Officer Tony Melone to discuss how Verizon Wireless is bringing it all together in an open, collaborative way at a media panel on March 24 at 11:00 a.m. PDT in the Las Vegas Convention Center, North Hall, Room N241.

It's Network-Ready: Visit Us at Booth #1034

The show floor spotlight shines on booth #1034, where the Verizon Wireless Open Development program and a variety of partners demonstrate exciting new products that are now Verizon Wireless network-ready.  The solutions featured in the booth were built to work on Verizon Wireless' 3G broadband network and include ruggedized tablet PCs and handheld computers, routers, a convergence phone, an exciting new product for the vending machine industry, and a new testing solution that offers modular testing options for manufacturers.

Coming Soon: Skype mobile from Verizon Wireless

The upcoming launch of Skype mobile(TM) on Verizon Wireless promises to bring more value to customers with 3G smartphones and data plans and highlights what's possible on Verizon Wireless' 3G network.  The free Skype mobile app will let hundreds of millions of Skype users around the world and millions of their friends, family and business colleagues in the United States who use Verizon Wireless communicate more easily.  The companies will share more details on March 23 at a news conference beginning at 12:00 p.m. PDT in the Las Vegas Convention Center, North Hall, Room N241.

CA CTO Don Ferguson to Speak at CloudSlam'10 Conference On Managing Cloud-Connected Applications

March 23 Session Will Explain How Cloud-Spanning Management Delivers Benefits of Cloud Computing and Virtualization

ISLANDIA, N.Y., March 19 -- CA (NASDAQ:CA) today announced that Dr. Donald F. Ferguson, executive vice president and chief technology officer, will deliver an address on managing cloud-connected applications at CloudSlam'10(TM) at 1:00 PM ET on March 23. CloudSlam'10 is a virtual conference developed to promote collaborative analysis of the latest trends and challenges in the world of cloud computing.

Ferguson will explain how cloud-spanning management and security are essential for organizations to realize the benefits of cloud computing and virtualization. Topics will include:

  --  Cloud management and security challenges
  --  Existing and emerging technologies that address these challenges
  --  Standards and industry initiatives for managing the cloud

According to Ferguson, almost all business applications are composite applications that utilize application logic and data running on multiple systems. An online commerce application, for example, may run on a combination of web servers, web application servers, database servers, and file servers. Additional IT resources--such as security subsystems and network switches--also support these applications.

Today, most of these resources are in the corporate data center. But with the advent of cloud computing, Ferguson believes composite applications will be radically transformed--as their constituent resources are increasingly dispersed across cloud infrastructure, use cloud-callable APIs, and leverage cloud communities.

For additional information on CloudSlam'10, contact Khazret Sapenov at k.sapenov@cloudslam.org or visit http://cloudslam10.com/.

ISC West: German Quality Drives Growth in Security Segment

LAS VEGAS, March 19, 2010--     Sales in the German security technology market are expected to
grow by more than 50 percent by 2015. From biometrics to IT security, German
quality products and services are in high demand. Germany Trade & Invest will
be presenting the latest opportunities in Germany's growing security
technology industry at this year's International Security Conference & Expo
(ISC West) in Las Vegas from March 23-26.

    According to the German Ministry of Economics and Technology,
revenue in this cross-cutting high-tech industry should surpass EUR 31
billion by 2015. This is a sharp increase over 2008 revenues of EUR 20
billion. 2009 figures are expected shortly.

    Several industry segments promise particularly high growth
potential. These areas include IT security, theft and personal protection,
civil security equipment, and identification, authentication and biometrics
technology.

    Across the security technology industry, high-quality,
reliable products and services are critical. Products bearing the "Made in
Germany" label are synonymous with these high quality attributes. German
companies are expecting revenues of up to EUR 21 billion by 2015. At the same
time, companies based abroad can also tap into these opportunities, as
one-third of sales in Germany are generated by companies based outside the
country. With the largest security technology market in Europe, Germany is an
attractive home for security companies. A large customer base, generous
research and development funding, and well developed high-tech industries
make Germany a prime business location.

    One security technology cluster can be found in the German
capital region of Berlin-Brandenburg. More than 40 public and private
research facilities are active in security research. The region is also home
to a central unit for security industries at the ZAB Brandenburg Economic
Development Board in order to meet the growing demand in the coming years.

    Germany Trade & Invest will have representatives at booth
#40014 to showcase the business opportunities available in Europe's largest
security technology market. Representatives of ZAB Brandenburg Economic
Development Board will also present the latest developments in the capital
region.

    Germany Trade & Invest is the foreign trade and inward
investment promotion agency of the Federal Republic of Germany. The
organization advises foreign companies looking to expand their business
activities to the German market. It provides information on foreign trade to
German companies that seek to enter foreign markets.

Optametra and LeCroy to Showcase Test Solution Capable of 224 Gb/s PM-QPSK at OFC/NFOEC Exposition

CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y., March 19 -- LeCroy Corporation, designer of the world's fastest (30 GHz) real-time oscilloscope, and Optametra, a leading supplier of coherent lightwave signal analyzers, will showcase their combined test solution at the OFC/NFOEC Exposition, Booth 1406, San Diego from March 23 to 25.

LeCroy's WaveMaster 830Zi, a 30 GHz real-time oscilloscope, has already been used to measure 224 Gb/s capability using 56 Gb/s per tributary polarization multiplexed quadrature phase shift keying (PM-QPSK) signals. This is a significant step towards accelerating the availability of 200G transmission technology and beyond for ultra long haul Dense Waveform Division Multiplexing (DWDM) networks.

By integrating the capability of the 30 GHz Optametra OM4106B Coherent Lightwave Signal Analyzer with the real-time 30 GHz bandwidth of the LeCroy WaveMaster 830Zi oscilloscope, the combined instruments offer the highest real-time bandwidth for signal analysis in ultra long haul fiber telecommunications. Optametra's software operates within the LeCroy oscilloscope permitting access to all variables in the analysis via Matlab, and providing users with an excellent platform for developing and testing proprietary algorithms including Chromatic Dispersion (CD) compensation, Polarization Multiplex Distortion (PMD) compensation, new proprietary modulation schemes, pass-fail criteria, or any user-defined algorithm.

The demand for increased telecommunications bandwidth is being driven by YouTube, Facebook, Google, data centers, and high-speed infrastructure build-out. Advanced modulation formats with greater spectral efficiency offer an easy, flexible and lower-cost route to the commercialization of 100G or greater transport technology. The Optametra and LeCroy test solution proves the feasibility of using PM-QPSK to modulate the phase, rather than the amplitude of the signal at high data rates without taking any shortcuts that can lose valuable data. Critical components of the solution are the internal speed of the OM4106 Coherent Lightwave Signal Analyzer and the availability of the WaveMaster 830Zi oscilloscope for use as a data acquisition system with excellent bandwidth, sample rate and signal fidelity.

"We are very pleased with the capabilities of the LeCroy oscilloscope," said Daniel van der Weide, VP of Engineering at Optametra. He added, "Access to a 30 GHz real-time oscilloscope with a high sampling rate and superior signal fidelity over such a wide bandwidth enables us to capture the complete electric field of the optical signal and measure everything that can be known about the signal at higher and higher speeds in real-time."

The LeCroy WaveMaster 830Zi oscilloscope features a real-time bandwidth of 30 GHz, a sampling rate of 80 Gigasamples/second on two channels, a maximum acquisition memory of 512 Megapoints/channel. Two oscilloscopes can be synchronized together to achieve 30 GHz on four channels to acquire four optical signals. The acquisition system in the 830Zi utilizes LeCroy's patented fifth-generation Digital Bandwidth Interleaving (DBI) technology to achieve an industry leading 30 GHz real-time bandwidth, 15.5 ps rise time, and a 200 fs jitter noise floor with superior signal fidelity.  With DBI, the basic 16 GHz Silicon-Germanium signal conditioning components are always operating comfortably in their rated frequency range and interleaved with a combination of radio frequency (RF) hardware and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to achieve 30 GHz performance. Sample rate and memory are simultaneously interleaved. The bandwidth and sampling rate combined with a deep acquisition memory enable large blocks of data to be acquired in real-time allowing signal processing and detection of the data bits and computation of bit error ratios.

"LeCroy continues to push the limits of high speed analog acquisition and A/D converter technology in order to enable our customers to develop the next generation in communications equipment," said Michael Schnecker, LeCroy Business Development Manager, Signal Integrity. "We are very excited to be a part of Optametra's ground-breaking instrumentation development."

Zanett Healthcare to Sponsor CIO Healthcare Summit; New Software Package Successes to be Demonstrated

NEW YORK, March 19 -- Zanett Healthcare is pleased to announce that it will sponsor the CIO Healthcare Summit, a leading gathering for CIOs, analysts and industry-thought leaders within healthcare information technology. The CIO Healthcare Summit will be held at the InterContinental Montelucia Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona on May 9-12, 2010.

In addition to sponsoring the event, Zanett Healthcare will also present a CIO thought-leadership session on Monday, May 10 at 9:00-9:30 a.m.  Entitled "Building a Physician Bridge to CPOE and 'Meaningful Use' utilizing Microsoft Technologies and Frameworks" and presented by Dr. Alan Snell, CMIO, St. Vincent Health, this session will share the story of how Zanett utilized technologies to build the Clinical Online Delivery System (CODS) software solution for St. Vincent Health.

CODS was developed for hospitals who are as yet without a fully deployed electronic medical record system, as it serves as a "bridge" strategy to CPOE (Computerized Physician Order Entry).  It is a quick value, low risk solution for those health organizations in the early stages of a 2-5 year implementation of their CPOE and EHR system.

  The CODS software package performs three main functions:
  1. Allows the hospital to set up, maintain and update standardized
     order-sets centrally and conveniently for the entire hospital system.
  2. Allows physicians and other prescribers to use these up-to-date order
     sets from any internet connected computer, either at the office or at
     home, and prescribe medications and tests in an easy-to-use
     point-and-click manner without the disruption to workflow that a full
     EMR would cause.
  3. Allows management to evaluate prescribing patterns in their hospitals
     and update according to the latest guidelines and local practices.

"We are proud to sponsor such a prestigious event and introduce CODS to leading healthcare CIOs and thought leaders.  Our CODS software of current, customized, evidence-based care plans will arm doctors and clinicians with critical information and support improvements in patient care," said Vince Vickers, SVP of Healthcare Solutions for Zanett. "Applying clinical decision support at the point of care also lays the foundation for demonstrating 'meaningful use' of technology in the future."

The CIO Healthcare Summit is designed to gather business leaders from technologically advanced and innovative companies within North America's Healthcare IT industry to debate and network on the most critical business technology issues facing them today.  For more information and to register, please visit http://www.ciohealthcaresummit.com/.

Huntkey Launches 'Universal' Power Strips

Compatibility, Safety, Functionality -- Three in One "Housekeeper"

SHENZHEN, China, March 19 -- Huntkey recently launched a series of power strips called Universal Power Strip, dedicated to home or business users. "Besides notebook adapters and chargers, power strips are another kind of consumer product," Alva Li, Global Marketing Manager said, "We want to provide users a good 'housekeeper' to ensure a safe environment creation and greater money savings."

Compatibility

Huntkey "Universal" power strips have many compatible functions and a unique plug bush design, which can meet even more than 240 countries or regions' needs. "Compared with traditional power strips, this series does better in terms of safety, functionality and material selection," Villa Li, Huntkey Product Manager said. There are four key technology applications of the Huntkey "Universal" Power Strip. They are recoverability overload protection, PC fire-retardant materials, intelligent master-slave control and USB Charging Function."

Safety

Overload protection is the essential safety protection of the power strip. If this protection is absent, fire can be caused by sudden phenomena such as surges, lighting or the electrical equipment surpassing the rated power of the power strip. Once a fault is fixed, the fuse should be replaced as well. With Huntkey's "Universal" Power Strip, simply press the recovery button and everything is back to normal again. Moreover, all of the "Universal" power strips use PC fire-retardant materials, which as international green fire-retardant materials can withstand up to 850-degree high temperatures. This makes up a protective material to prevent further burning in a fire. ( http://tinyurl.com/yb5ujqf )

Functionality

Intelligent master-slave control is a technology that can lead to peripheral simultaneous cutting off or turning on according to the host computer's order. When a host computer is shut down, other peripherals such as acoustic devices, fax, and typewriters will automatically turn off at the same time. There is no need to worry about electricity bills waste. The power strip is thus a good "housekeeper" for users. ( http://tinyurl.com/y9ekg5a )

The USB Charging Function is another feature of the Huntkey "Universal" Power Strip. Nowadays, digital devices such as cell phones, cameras, MP4/MP5 players, and PDAs occupy a great part of daily life. Limited computer USB interfaces may not be enough for users' many requirements. Another lumpish connector with an absurdly long power cord is troublesome. The USB charging port in the power strip is convenient, eliminating the need for an unwanted connector or computer, so users can just charge digital devices with their power strip.

Motorola Adds Industry's First TD-LTE 4Tx/8Rx Radio Head to 4G LTE-Advanced Capable eNodeB

New WBR 700 Series eNodeB supports growing interest in TD-LTE

ARLINGTON HTS, Ill., March 19 -- The Networks business of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) today announced the addition of a TD-LTE-Advanced capable 4Tx/8Rx radio head with multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) to its 4G - WBR 700 Series LTE eNodeB portfolio. This TD-LTE solution - while similar in size to a standard 2Tx/2Rx LTE eNodeB - enables advanced MIMO schemes including multi user (MU) MIMO and beam-forming to provide unprecedented capacity and coverage. The WBR 700 TD-LTE 4Tx/8Rx with MIMO solution will be displayed in Motorola's booth at International CTIA Wireless 2010 (Central Hall #409).

Motorola recently launched its LTE-Advanced capable WBR 700 Series, which is Motorola's fourth generation orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) solution and its second generation LTE platform. The WBR 700 Series features Motorola's proprietary Intelligent OFDM Scheduler for improved sector throughput. This eNodeB portfolio supports TD-LTE as well as FDD-LTE solutions in a wide variety of frequencies from 700MHz to 2.6GHz and offers an unprecedented mix of capacity, compact size and energy efficiency.

With this latest addition, the WBR 700 series brings a high-performance TD-LTE radio head to provide a better subscriber experience due to the maximized performance and coverage. The product will be available for 2.3GHz and other TD-LTE bands such as 2.6GHz. The energy-efficient WBR 700 TD-LTE 4Tx/8Rx radio head reduces power consumption by up to 30 percent using advanced linearization techniques, helping to lower operational expenses.

"Motorola continues to demonstrate the benefits of our significant OFDM expertise by bringing to market industry-leading LTE solutions like the WBR 700 4Tx/8Rx TD-LTE solution," said Bruce Brda, senior vice president, Motorola Networks. "We are one of the few vendors that has committed to investing in both TD-LTE and FDD-LTE because we know operators will likely use a combination of technologies to meet their 4G needs."

  Interest in TD-LTE continues to grow because of several key factors:
  --  the low cost of TDD spectrum that is particularly attractive to
      emerging and developing markets
  --  operators' continuing need for more capacity and spectrum
  --  and the ability of TD-LTE to hand-off to FDD-LTE networks

In effect, this ability to roam between FDD-LTE and TD-LTE means operators can use TD-LTE networks to augment their FDD-LTE network for more capacity or other applications such as video broadcasting, while operators choosing to use TD-LTE as their "main" network can still offer their subscribers the ability to roam to other operators' FDD-LTE networks in different countries.

The LTE-Advanced-capable design of the Motorola WBR 700 series also will accommodate 3GPP Release 9 and 10 based upon the current specification, offering operators greater flexibility as well as investment protection as they roll out LTE across their network. The baseband unit provides up to four times the processing power of the average LTE eNodeB and is the most energy-efficient unit on the market. That level of processing power is required to support the sophisticated and complex functionality of this 4Tx/8Rx radio head and deliver maximum performance.

Motorola's TD-LTE Expertise and Achievements

Motorola has gained significant experience and momentum in TD-LTE thanks to its OFDM experience, which was instrumental in the development and design of the TD-LTE 4Tx/8Rx solution. These engineering innovations resulted in one of the most efficient radios in the market - allowing it to be compact enough to be installed and mounted on a tower. By packing more performance into a smaller unit, operators can get better performance out of the sites they deploy and may be able to use fewer sites, thereby lowering their total cost of ownership.

Motorola was selected last year by China Mobile Communications Corporation (CMCC) to be the primary TD-LTE solution supplier providing indoor coverage for all major pavilions at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai China. At the Expo, which runs May 1 to Oct. 31, 2010 and is expected to attract 70 million visitors, Motorola also will integrate and launch the world's first TD-LTE USB dongle that supports both 2.3GHz and 2.6GHz. This LTE device launch will help operators build a healthy TD-LTE ecosystem.

Motorola's on-going advancements in TD-LTE include its recently announced first over- the-air TD-LTE data session on the TD-LTE network in Shanghai and the successful completion of the TD-LTE key functionalities tests initiated by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

These achievements, plus being the only vendor able to complete all radio frequency (RF) test cases in CMCC's TD-LTE trial including reaching the TD-LTE theoretical maximum data rate in 20MHz and successfully running multiple user devices, and conducting the world's first TD-LTE live drive demo at ITU Telecom 2009 in Geneva, are further demonstrations of Motorola's LTE expertise.

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.
