Carefx Delivers Expert Insights on Health Data Sharing, Collaboration, Quality and Meaningful Use

New position paper available at YourCarefx.com and HIMSS Annual Conference, March 1-4, 2010, in Atlanta (Booth #6008)

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 1 -- Carefx, a leading provider of interoperable workflow solutions, announced today the availability of a new position paper revealing how health IT leaders can advance health information exchange, manage care transitions and close information gaps between systems, departments and facilities through collaboration and clinical quality improvement strategies.  The position paper will be available online at http://www.yourcarefx.com/ and at booth (#6008) at the annual Healthcare Information Management and Systems Society (HIMSS) conference, March 1-4, 2010, in Atlanta.

"Focusing on health information exchange, Carefx's HIMSS10 position paper provides a framework for sharing how the company's Fusionfx solution suite delivers actionable, patient-relevant information through the aggregation of data from multiple systems.  Fusionfx facilitates health information collection and sharing, as well as care coordination and meaningful use," says Andrew Hurd, Chairman and CEO of Carefx.  "This position paper and several forthcoming Issue Briefs reinforce Carefx's commitment to obtain strategic advice from leading health IT experts and create roadmaps for 'simply advancing healthcare' through health information exchange."

Carefx's newest paper - "Health Information Exchange: From Meaningful Use to Healthcare Transformation" - confronts the challenges of health information exchange, medication and allergy reconciliation, quality measurement, monitoring and reporting, collaboration and referral management.  Among the experts featured in the new paper, and soon-to-be-released Issue Briefs, are Marc Holland, President and Managing Director, System Research Services; Lynne Dunbrack, Program Director, Health Provider Research, IDC Health Insights; David Hansen, healthcare consultant, economist, entrepreneur and author; Jennifer Covich Bordenick, CEO, eHealth Initiative; and Barry Runyon, Research Vice President, Gartner Research.

The position paper predicts that clinicians will soon be able to view real-time patient data - demographics, compliance, patient safety and quality - from a variety of sources in a single view with real-time quality compliance alerts, medication reconciliation and electronic referral.  This enhances clinicians' ability to keep tabs on patients and make more accurate, evidence-based clinical decisions.  Ultimately, however, the quality of health information exchange is likely to depend on the creativity and commitment of those who exchange data and require "cultural change, communication, conflict resolution and care coordination and re-design," according to the paper.

In the coming months, Carefx will release an Issue Brief on electronic referral management, revealing how providers can transform a burdensome, paper-based process into a streamlined workflow that enables physician collaboration, improves quality and safety and increases referral revenues.  A second Issue Brief on medication reconciliation will demonstrate why providers must close medication loops at key care transitions, including reconciliation of a patient's discharge medications into the ambulatory electronic medical record (EMR).

About Carefx Corporation

Carefx supports healthcare organizations in achieving their vision of advancing the quality and safety of patient care delivery through its Fusionfx suite of interoperable workflow solutions.  Fusionfx streamlines and simplifies clinical and business workflow and connects care providers to the information they need - where, when, and how they need it.  By managing care transitions and information gaps between diverse systems, departments and facilities, Fusionfx delivers crucial patient information with speed, efficiency and logic.  Carefx supports more than 700 hospitals, health systems, regional health information organizations (RHIOs) and health information exchanges (HIEs) across North America and Europe.

STMicroelectronics Delivers 90nm STM32 MCU with Unique Flash Accelerator for Extra Performance Boost

STM32 embedded Flash performance gets double boost with 90nm production availability and Adaptive Real-Time accelerator enabling zero-wait program execution up to 120MHz

GENEVA, March 1 -- STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM), a world leader in microcontrollers, has announced two significant advances that further improve the performance and power consumption of its successful STM32 family: availability of production devices featuring embedded Flash at 90nm process technology; and the industry's first Adaptive Real-Time (ART) memory accelerator optimized for the STM32's industry-standard ARM® Cortex(TM)-M3 processor.

The first production STM32 microcontrollers leveraging ST's 90nm embedded Flash technology, which is already proven in smart card and automotive ICs, deliver faster operation, increased peripheral integration, lower power consumption, and increased on-chip memory densities. ST announced it was sampling these devices in 2009.

The proprietary ART memory accelerator balances the inherent performance advantage of the ARM Cortex-M3 over Flash memory technologies, which normally requires the processor to wait for the Flash at higher operating frequencies. The CPU can now operate up to 120MHz without waiting, thereby increasing overall system speed and efficiency.

To release the processor's full 150 DMIPS performance at this frequency the accelerator implements an instruction pre-fetch queue and branch cache, enabling program execution from Flash at up to 120MHz with zero wait states. Competing Cortex-M3 MCUs can now only outperform the STM32 by operating at frequencies above 120MHz, which will increase power consumption and heat dissipation.

With this performance now available, developers can host extra elements of a system on the microcontroller, saving the need to use a more expensive microcontroller or a companion DSP. An example is in multimedia applications, where customers will be able to implement an audio codec, video processing functions, data encryption, digital filtering, and a multi-protocol gateway, with sufficient remaining resources to manage other tasks.

The latest STM32 variants benefiting from the 90nm process and the ART memory accelerator have been verified according to CoreMark(TM) tests created by the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium. CoreMark results verify the STM32 executes 8% faster than Cortex-M competitors at 100MHz clock speed. The performance advantage is greater still at 120MHz. CoreMark analysis also confirms dynamic power consumption of only 188mA/MHz (98mA/CoreMark). This is equivalent to drawing 22.5mA at 120MHz (executing from Flash memory, with ART accelerator enabled and all peripherals off).

The new 90nm devices featuring the ART memory accelerator are sampling at lead customers. Product details will be announced later this year.

About the STM32 family

The enhancements announced today extend the advantages of the industry's most extensive Cortex-M3 microcontroller portfolio, which now includes over 110 devices. All STM32 family members are pin-to-pin and software compatible, and share from a common pool of peripherals to facilitate design scalability and efficient, platform-based product development.

Available STM32 product lines now include the STM32 Value Line, STM32 Access Line, and STM32 Performance Line. Additional enhancements include the STM32 Access USB Line featuring additional connectivity and the STM32 Connectivity Line supporting USB OTG, Ethernet and dual CAN interfaces. On-chip Flash densities range from 16Kbytes to 1Mbyte, SRAM densities from 4KBytes to 96KBytes, and surface-mount package styles from 36-pin QFN to 144-pin LQFP or BGA packages. High-performance on-chip peripherals span interface, conversion, timing, and supervisory features including watchdog and reset functions.

About STMicroelectronics

STMicroelectronics is a global leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications with innovative semiconductor solutions. ST aims to be the undisputed leader in multimedia convergence and power applications leveraging its vast array of technologies, design expertise and combination of intellectual property portfolio, strategic partnerships and manufacturing strength.

CellTrust Corporation Announces Partnership Strategy with Healthcare Provider Portals at HIMSS 2010

Initiative Will Accelerate Delivery of HIPAA-Compliant, Secure Mobile Messaging to Hospitals, Medical Answering Services, Pharmacies, Insurance and Pharmaceutical Companies

ATLANTA and SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 1 -- CellTrust Corporation, the world's largest provider of SecureSMS for mobile phones (http://www.celltrust.com), announced today its strategy to partner with Healthcare Provider Portals to bring secure mobile messaging solutions to companies across the healthcare industry, by the third quarter of 2010.

Ease of use and speed have made SMS the most popular communication tool on the handset today, eclipsing the volume of phone calls daily. But unfortunately, standard SMS is in clear text and is not encrypted, so it is not HIPAA-compliant. In booth #2317 at HIMSS, CellTrust's Secure Mobile Healthcare team will showcase the company's secure mobile healthcare solution, which turns standard SMS into a powerful, HIPAA-compliant tool, enabling healthcare organizations and vendors to communicate patient data via secure text messaging to clinicians' and patients' mobile devices. Over the next few months, CellTrust will work to integrate its SecureSMS technology into the existing solutions of the nation's leading Healthcare Provider Portals.

"Our Secure Health Messaging solution solves the challenge that exists today in providing secure, two-way communication for Protected Health Information (PHI) between healthcare organizations, providers and patients," said Sean Moshir, Chairman and CEO of CellTrust. "A growing number of healthcare organizations are developing provider portals to improve communication with healthcare providers and we view partnerships with these portals as the fastest way to accelerate the delivery of a much-needed secure health messaging solution to the industry."

CellTrust's Secure Mobile Healthcare application suite is built on highly encrypted, HIPAA compliant SecureSMS text messaging technology that enhances delivery of real-time Protected Health Information (PHI) to healthcare providers', payers' and patients' mobile devices via SMS. The suite enhances the three core National Health IT initiatives - electronic medical data management, cost reduction and coordinated patient care.

CellTrust SecureSMS(TM) Appliance was selected winner of 2009 Best Enterprise Enabler Application for the RCR Ecosystem Awards.  In 2008 CellTrust Secure SMS won the Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award and was voted Best Messaging Security Solution by the Info Security Products Guide's Tomorrow Technology Today Award.  SecureSMS was accredited as a finalist for the Third Annual CTIA Emerging Technology Award, and was named the winner of three Mobile Star Awards, and the prestigious Mobile Marketing Association 2008 Global Relationship Building Award.

About CellTrust Corporation

CellTrust is a leading provider of secure mobile messaging and applications. CellTrust's patent pending SecureSMS Gateway(TM) featuring the SecureSMS(TM) Appliance and a suite of mobile applications provide advanced secure mobile messaging and information management across 200+ countries and over 800 carriers.  CellTrust ensures the secure and trusted exchange of information on mobile devices to the financial services, healthcare, government, education, energy, information technology, marketing, and travel, among other global industries. For more information about CellTrust's Global, African, North American and Australian operations: http://www.celltrust.com   www.africa.celltrust.com   www.celltrust.com.au

Health IT has been described as "information technology applications specifically designed for the practice of clinical medicine, including electronic health records (EHRs), personal health records, health information exchange, computerized physician order entry, clinical decision support systems, and electronic prescribing." Proponents contend that its widespread adoption will not only slow health care spending, but that it will eventually "improve the quality of care provided to patients by improving the information available to clinicians at the time of treatment, by encouraging the use of evidence-based medicine, and by helping physicians manage patients with complex, chronic conditions."  Source:  United States Congressional Budget Office, "Budget Options, Volume I, Health Care," December 2008.

VeriFinger from Neurotechnology Provides Fingerprint Verification for Poland's New Biometric Passport System

VeriFinger is Now Used in All Polish Passport Offices for Biometric Passport Application, Generation and Issuance Processes

VILNIUS, Lithuania, March 1 -- Neurotechnology (http://www.neurotechnology.com/), a provider of high-precision biometric identification technologies, announced today that VeriFinger was selected to be the fingerprint verification engine for Poland's new biometric passport system. Now implemented in more than 130 passport offices throughout the country, VeriFinger provides reliable 1:1 fingerprint verification at each stage of the passport application, generation and issuance process. Passport producer Polish Security Printing Works (Polska Wytwornia Papierow Wartosciowych S.A. or PWPW) selected the VeriFinger Software Development Kit (SDK) for its combination of high accuracy, very fast matching and the flexibility to work with a wide variety of programming languages and software platforms. Competitive pricing and flexible licensing options from Neurotechnology enabled PWPW to quickly obtain, develop and implement the VeriFinger technology in the new biometric passport system.

"Poland's biometric passport verification is a very important and practical use for our VeriFinger technology," said Dr. Algimantas Malickas, CEO of Neurotechnology. "We are pleased that Polish Security Printing Works explored the advantages provided by VeriFinger and decided to implement it for this project."

All new biometric passports issued by the Polish government are equipped with a contactless microprocessor chip that stores the passport holder's biometric fingerprint information. VeriFinger is used in two stages of the passport issuance process:

  --  Application - When an applicant provides a fingerprint image,
      VeriFinger is used to provide a quality score that determines if the
      image quality is high enough for use in the biometric passport chip.
  --  Final Verification and Issuance - When the applicant comes in to
      receive his or her passport, the applicant enrolls the same set of
      fingerprints and VeriFinger is used to compare the new fingerprint
      images with those contained in the passport chip. If the match is
      verified, the new biometric passport is issued to the applicant.

VeriFinger SDK fingerprint identification technology is available for the development of PC- and Web-based solutions on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms. VeriFinger supports multiple scanners and programming languages and works with databases of unlimited size, assuring system performance with fast, reliable fingerprint matching in 1-to-1 and 1-to-many modes. The VeriFinger algorithm has been incorporated in more than 1000 end-user product brands in 98 countries over the past 11 years. VeriFinger includes a NIST MINEX- certified algorithm which consistently has won Fingerprint Verification Competition (FVC) and FpVTE awards since 2000. VeriFinger is capable of fast matching with high reliability and is highly tolerant of rolled and flat fingerprint captures as well as translation, rotation and deformation of the fingerprint image.

The Software Development Kit for VeriFinger, as well as other award-winning biometric technologies from Neurotechnology (including MegaMatcher for large-scale AFIS and multi-biometric systems, VeriLook for facial recognition and VeriEye for iris recognition), are available with highly competitive licensing options through Neurotechnology or from distributors worldwide. 30-day trial versions with full functionality are also available for download. For more information, go to: http://www.neurotechnology.com/.

freeHAMPreport.com Selects TransMedia to Publicize Launch of the Site that will Resuscitate President Obama's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP)

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 1 -- TransMedia Group (http://www.transmediagroup.com) announced today that it has been retained by freeHAMPreport.com (http://www.freeHAMPreport.com), the free site that determines a person's eligibility for the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP).

freeHAMPreport.com has chosen TransMedia Group to plan and implement a full-scale publicity campaign to build excitement with the general public about a technology designed to provide a free eligibility test and to simplify the HAMP process.

"President Barack Obama's $75 billion HAMP program was created to slow the record wave of foreclosures, but problems with incorrectly submitted paperwork and staffing shortages at lenders have made it a near failure," said Glen Calder, President of TransMedia Group.  "That's why we are so excited about introducing freeHAMPreport to the media and the public, as it will make the process easier for the homeowner, lender and government.  A process that used to take weeks to do by yourself or with a lawyer, now can literally be completed in 15 minutes."

TransMedia will highlight freeHAMPreport.com's team of industry experts, the speed of the process and its commitment free procedure.  "While other free reports out there aren't entirely free, there is no charge or commitment to see if you're eligible for the HAMP," said Allison McCormick, Publicity Assistant for TransMedia Group.  "If you are eligible and want to use the site to create the report, then with the click of a button a complete lender ready custom package can be automatically populated in minutes, each including a complete proposal, client checklist, as well as all Federal HAMP and lender specific forms required."

"When we decided on choosing a PR firm that could cut through all the confusion of the HAMP program by generating tremendous buzz for freeHAMPreport.com, we immediately went to TransMedia Group," said Jonathon Ende, CEO of freeHAMPreport.com.  "They will help us accomplish our mission to share our great website as the guiding light for loan modifications which will allow struggling homeowners to help save their homes and their families."

TransMedia Group is a full-service public relations firm serving clients worldwide since 1981. The firm is based in Boca Raton, FL and has offices in New York and London.

AUO to Showcase Its Competitive Edge in the Solar Industry Value Chain at Japan's PV EXPO

HSINCHU, Taiwan, March 1 -- AU Optronics Corp. ("AUO" or the "Company") (TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) will exhibit at PV EXPO 2010 in Tokyo Big Sight, Japan from March 3-5 to showcase its competitive edge in the solar industry value chain. High quality polysilicon, ingots and wafers produced by M.Setek and high-efficiency mono-crystalline and multi-crystalline PV modules from AUO will be on display.

The PV EXPO in Japan is one of the most noted professional PV trade shows in the world, as well as the most important business platform of the Asian PV industry. There are 570 exhibitors worldwide participating this year, displaying a full range of technologies for materials, equipment, solar cells and modules, photovoltaic systems and integration schemes. It is a must-attend event for vendors who wish to break into the Japanese and Asian PV markets.

AUO will be exhibiting the high-efficient module Mono 245W, which is capable of generating more power on space-limited rooftops with an impressive conversion rate of 14.7%. It weighs merely 20kg, around 15% lighter than modules of the same size in the market, and is also easy to install. Customers have their options of choosing black or white colored modules to match the designs of their buildings.

In its energy business, AUO has both the quality key materials from M.Setek in the upstream and photovoltaic system projects in the downstream to provide the most competitive total solution. Therefore, the company will exhibit quality material with high conversion rates at the PV EXPO to demonstrate its strategic position in the integration of the solar industry supply chain.

Being a major supplier to renowned solar cell companies around the world, M.Setek boasts leading technologies in Japan for upstream polysilicon and wafers with high conversion rates. It is one of the few global suppliers that can provide high quality and high-efficiency solar wafers. The Company is also among the first to employ diamond wire sawing and is capable of mass production. The technology helps increase conversion rates, eliminate the use of organic solvents to ensure eco-friendly production, and maintain cost competitiveness. M.Setek is also equipped with the technologies to fully recycle its materials, to take their share of responsibility in carbon balance in the green energy industry. At the PV EXPO, M.Setek will display several wafers, among which the N-Type mono-crystalline wafer can be applied to the making of high-efficiency solar cells, with a conversion rate as high as 20-23%.

James Chen, AUO's Senior Associate Vice President of the Solar Photovoltaic Business Unit will be speaking at the Taiwan Photovoltaic Industry Forum on the morning of March 4 during PV EXPO. The topic is to be AUO's Green Solutions.

AUO has actively invested in solar business and planned for the solar value chain from upstream to downstream. The Company has partners in Europe for the development of several solar projects. In addition, a reliability lab for the testing of solar modules has been set up in Taichung, with its product quality certified by TUV Rheinland, a global leader in independent testing and assessment services from Germany. The plan is to next launch solar business operating points in China this year. With the strategy to provide total solutions, AUO will cooperate closely with partners in the industry value chain to further develop the global solar market.

success of the 2003 version in use in biopharmaceutical companies around the
globe.

    In addition to the well-appreciated Guided, Advanced, Author and
Thesaurus search interfaces, the new version introduces a number of unique
features to aid users of product related information:

   
    - Customisable Homepages: client administrators can set up multiple
      homepages so users in different pharma regions or therapeutic
      categories can use quick links to access specifically relevant content.
      Users can also configure a personal homepage using drag & drop
   
    - Variable user rights: different user groups can have restricted views
      on content
   
    - Current awareness: clickable email alerts for individuals or groups,
      daily, weekly, etc
   
    - Multiple indexes per article, each index specific to one drug allowing
      pinpoint association of, for example, AE or dosage information, with a
      specific drug
   
    - Links to full-article versions, according to subscriptions, and to
      various "Related Resources" that cite the literature, such as medical
      letters, monographs and much more
   
    - Study-specific indexing so that all publications from a given study can
      be quickly recognised and the resulting documentation readily
      downloaded
   
    - Ability to effortlessly download a Related Resource, its relevant
      bibliographic records and all associated full-articles and other PDFs
   
    - Complete intra-operability with Pi2's pipeline of downstream workflow
      tools, eg. Pi2's forthcoming software for handling submissions
      reference requests, creating and managing medical letters, the Pi2 KOL
      Db and Pi2 TrialWatch.
   
    - A new "Copy link" feature which enables pinpoint linking into a
      client's PLD from other client systems and documents.
   
    - Enhanced custom thesaurus handling capabilities
   
    - High performance and scalability to >1 million records

    The roll-out of the Pi2 2010 PLD version to current clients will be
completed in Q2 and new clients will automatically get the upgraded system.
Demonstrations to prospective clients will feature the new system together
with compatible Pi2 pipeline applications to assist users in their day to day
workflow.

    Pi2 Product Literature Database (PLD) Systems and Downstream Workflow
Applications

    Pi2 PLD systems track journal and conference articles that mention a
client's drugs and, optionally, those of their competitors. Database records
link to the full text articles, to various Related Resources that cite the
literature and integrate with a variety of client end-user systems. They
typically drive efficiency in an organisation, have a very low ownership cost
and generally save a client company many times what they would spend on
acquiring a Pi2 PLD. Pi2 PLD systems are widely regarded as being unrivalled
in terms of functionality, ease of use and low burden of ownership. Pi2's
"Downstream Workflow Applications" will increasingly enable end-users to
create and manage their medical letters, create publications planning
reports, organise KOLs, as well as tracking clinical trials and medical
conferences. Seamless linking between the various Pi2 applications and
integration with client internal systems ensure efficiency, greater workflow
effectiveness and ease of working.

TAAP Data Capture Mobile Software Triumphs at MCN Show

BOREHAMWOOD, England, March 1, 2010--     Triumph - the largest British automotive manufacturer, producing around
50,000 motorcycles a year - used TAAP's Data Capture mobile software on a
rental basis to collect leads at the recent Motorcycle News (MCN) show. With
a comprehensive network of professional dealerships, Triumph offers test
rides throughout the UK.

    The MCN show is the biggest annual motorcycle show in the London/South
East area, with people travelling from outside the UK to attend. TAAP - a
leading mobile software application provider with significant expertise in
the automotive sector - provided Triumph with eight PDA devices (handheld
mobile computers) for use at the show, held at the Excel centre from 4th -
7th February 2010.

    TAAP's award-winning Data Capture application operates via Pocket
PCs/PDAs to allow Triumph to collect customer data and view it in real-time
on a secure website, completely eliminating paper forms. This makes remote
event management and tracking much easier as information is immediately
visible. Data is securely managed as it is encrypted on the device and when
sent from it.

    Emphasizing its flexible approach to software customisation, TAAP
provided Triumph with a 'nearest dealer' feature. This ensured that when
customers were contacted at a later date with regards to a test ride, this
would be done by their nearest Triumph dealer. The application includes
mandatory fields which ensure that all leads collected contain uniform
information in a set format, and missing data is a thing of the past.

    Triumph were pleased with the ease of use of the application and the
quality of the lead data captured, and confirmed further use of the
technology for the forthcoming Scottish MCN event organised by Live
Promotions and held at the Royal Highland Centre, Edinburgh on 20th and 21st
March 2010.

    Triumph account manager at TAAP, Louise Lawson, said "We're delighted
that Triumph found the Data Capture application a success and are planning to
use it again for the Scottish show. Secure data collection through the TAAP
mobile software means customers benefit from a more accurate and far quicker
response."

office on a mobile device. Further details are available at:

Service Differentiation Adds a New Competitive Focus on OSS/BSS, Says Frost & Sullivan

SINGAPORE, March 1 -- Traditional Communications Service Providers (CSPs) are actively competing with new entrants to capture and retain customer mindshare. At the core of today's changing communications marketplace, operators are constantly challenged to deliver new services and meet requirements from new business models.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081117/FSLOGO)

In an aid to further understand the issues and latest developments within the OSS/BSS space in Asia Pacific, Frost & Sullivan along with Stratecast, is organising the 4th Annual OSS/BSS Asia Pacific Summit (http://www.frost-oss.com/). The summit is scheduled to be held from March 24 - 25, 2010 at Resorts World Convention Centre, Sentosa, Singapore.

Prominent industry thought leaders, along with Frost & Sullivan and Stratecast analysts, will convene to discuss multiple business and operations issues facing CSPs today. Conference sessions will feature case studies involving operators from several countries. The conference will also discuss what the industry still needs to meet the demands of market change in this unprecedented era of business evolution.

Structured to look into the essential OSS/BSS functions and business processes, the summit will discuss implications of new business models, importance of convergent charging, and show why policy management with real-time charging can provide customer control and better match-up of service plans to network capacity. Sessions will also address customer service assurance issues through customer case studies, why data security is more important now than ever before, and bring forward the continued importance of managed services relative to the new service environment.

"User device evolution and network infrastructure improvements continue to be two very critical business drivers in the changing customer services landscape. Enabled by these advances, service offers with real-time components and interactive user control is quickly becoming the norm," said Karl Whitelock, Stratecast senior consulting analyst OSS/BSS global competitive strategies. Karl further adds that market differentiation comes to organizations that can align the necessary OSS and BSS functions to meet today's changing market dynamics.

A noteworthy highlight at the summit will be the keynote address by Malcolm Rodrigues, General Manager for Nucleus Connect, who will share the progress-to-date regarding Singapore's Next Gen National Broadband Network (NBN) Business Model, since its appointment by the Singapore Infocomm Development Authority (IDA).

Alongside these highly relevant issues, the Frost & Sullivan - Stratecast OSS BSS analyst team will share their perspective and insights on the conference's main subjects and provide an interactive audience participation workshop held in the afternoon of Thursday, March 25, 2010. This will be available to all attendees as part of the regular conference registration.

Join speakers from Oracle Communications, Reliance Communications, Telekom Malaysia, Telecom Fiji, Clarity, Amdocs, Guardium, TRUE Internet, Accanto Systems, Volubill and senior Frost & Sullivan/Stratecast analysts as they share their success and challenges and provide perspective on some of the most critical business and operations issues faced by the industry at large.

All attending delegates will receive a complimentary copy of the 2010 Stratecast/Telecom Asia magazine survey results.

ATX Joins Pilot Project to Promote Cross-Border eCall Solutions

Demonstration at CeBIT to Showcase Latest Advances in Connected Vehicle Solutions

HANNOVER, Germany, March 1 -- ATX, one of the leading providers of in-vehicle, location-based services to the global automobile industry, announced in advance of its participation at CeBIT 2010 this week, its participation in a DEUFRAKO pilot project designed to test different eCall deployment solutions for locating vehicles involved in cross-border emergency situations between France and Germany. DEUFRAKO (http://www.deufrako.org) is an organization dedicated to funding bilateral (French and German) research projects.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090303/ATXLOGO)

The project will be featured at CeBIT 2010 - the world's foremost tradeshow for the digital industry from March 2-6 at the Hannover Exhibition Center in Germany - in Hall 7, Booth A28. ATX is co-sponsoring the exhibit booth with ITS Niedersachsen, a consortium of automotive, telecommunications and public agencies involved in research and development which is coordinating German participation in the project.

The goal of the project is to analyze the differences in the French and German solutions for transmitting location-enabled emergency signals (eCalls) from vehicles, whether activated manually by motorists facing an emergency or automatically by in-vehicle crash sensors. Results from the study will be used to develop potential migration strategies for ensuring eventual pan-European cross-border standardization and interoperability for routing of eCalls.

"We are honored to be invited to participate in a project that has the potential to help accelerate the deployment of eCall in-vehicle emergency response, and thereby begin saving lives, by providing quicker response to severe accidents on European roads," said Arnaud de Meulemeester, ATX managing director.

De Meulemeester is also scheduled on 4 March to speak at the European eCall Implementation Workshop (Convention Center, room 18) on how traditional telematics or third-party service providers can leverage connected vehicle technology and applications already being deployed to dramatically expand a pan-European eCall system without having to resolve long-term issues regarding standards, deployment costs, or technical interfaces with local 1-1-2 emergency response centers.

ATX will also use its booth at CeBIT to demonstrate an easy-to-use, in-vehicle, human-to-machine interface that allows motorists to summon eCall assistance, as well as access real-time information and personalized services (i.e., roadside assistance, hotel reservations, weather forecast, available parking) through widgets and other applications that can be downloaded into the vehicle.

For more on ATX's initiatives in Europe, please visit http://www.atxg.com/europe.

ABOUT ATX: With operations in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, and representative offices in Paris, France, and Dusseldorf, Germany, ATX (http://www.atxg.com) is one of the world's leading providers of customized connected vehicles (telematics) services to global automobile manufacturers.

Major European Operator Goes Live With Bridgewater PCRF

OTTAWA, March 1, 2010--

     - Goes Live in 10 Weeks Enabling Compliance With New EU Data Roaming
Regulations and Empowering Subscribers to Personalize and Manage Mobile
Data Usage

    Bridgewater Systems (TSX: BWC), the mobile personalization company,
today announced that a European property of a major global mobile operator
group has selected the Bridgewater(R) Policy Controller (PCRF) to meet new
EU mobile data roaming legislation that comes into effect today.

   
     News

     -   The European operator has selected the market leading Bridgewater
         Policy Controller for its HSPA network to prevent mobile bill shock,
         comply with EU data roaming regulations, and enable new services
         including:
         -  Setting limits and notifications while roaming. Volume-based
            metering is used to track data usage, set limits, and trigger
            notifications. When a usage threshold is reached, subscribers are
            notified by SMS or email and redirected to a payment portal where
            they can opt for a temporary bandwidth boost, a service extension,
            or other options.
         -  Flexible quota management based on subscriber type - for example
            EU, non-EU and domestic subscribers.
         -  Applying Smart Caps(TM) to ensure fair usage. Smart Caps are
            precise controls that adjust bandwidth levels based on real-time
            factors such as the subscriber's bandwidth usage during a mobile
            data session, roaming status, and level of network congestion.
     -   EU Commission data roaming legislation requires operators to
         implement systems that allow customers to determine in advance how
         much they want to spend before their service is 'cutoff' when
         roaming. The default monthly limit is EUR50.
     -   The Bridgewater Policy Controller (PCRF) is an LTE-ready, 3GPP
         Release 7, 8 and 9 compliant product that applies real-time network,
         application and subscriber policies to manage mobile data growth and
         deliver personalized services. It is fully interoperable with multi-
         vendor mobile core solutions such as the GGSN.
     -   Bridgewater went from selection to live deployment with the customer
         in just 10 weeks, reflecting the strong out-of-the-box functionality
         and open, standards-based interfaces that enable rapid time-to-
         market.
   

     Quotes

     David Sharpley, Senior Vice President, Bridgewater Systems

     "Bridgewater's innovative policy and bill shock solutions ensure
compliance with EU data roaming regulations, give subscribers greater
control over their mobile data usage, and provide operators with a platform
for future service innovation. This competitive PCRF selection by a major
European HSPA operator demonstrates the compelling value we can unleash for
our customers."

     Peter Mottishaw, Senior Analyst, Analysis Mason

     "While many operators have complied with European legislation by
adjusting back-end billing systems, this set-up is not designed to offer a
real-time transparent view of data usage. Operators need to offer more
flexibility such as enabling customers to set personal limits and
differentiating between consumer and business users, who have distinct
requirements."

"Our diversified pipeline of six truly differentiated games that span the 3D, 2.5D and 2D market segments highlights our competitive position in the online game industry.  We continue to take advantage of our specialized game engines and production studios to build franchises that include flagship titles in each of these market segments."

"During the past year, we saw a considerable amount of growth in our overseas business and are pleased with our progress.  We continued to strengthen our overseas network as we licensed more of our games to additional countries and regions.  Our North American operation has seen significant expansion as we also introduced new games to the market through our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary.  We are the leader in the Chinese online game export market in terms of revenues and geographic coverage."

"Given what we have accomplished in North America so far, we are pleased to announce that we recently established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Europe. This strategic decision will not only allow us to capture growth opportunities in the European market by leveraging our experience in the North American markets, but will also expand our overseas operational capabilities."

"We believe that 2010 will be an exciting year for us as we have a number of new and diversified games and expansion packs that are scheduled to be launched.  We will continue to dedicate more resources to longer-term projects as our modified strategy has demonstrated to be effective in lengthening the growth cycle of both our new and existing games.  We aspire to sustain the steady growth of our Company, and will do so by utilizing our proven execution capabilities and strong R&D and operating platform to constantly strive to meet the varied interests and expectations of online game players around the world."

Online game operation revenues were RMB541.8 million (USD79.4 million) in 4Q09, an increase of 11.5%, or RMB55.9 million, from RMB485.9 million in 3Q09, and an increase of 49.4%, or RMB179.2 million, from RMB362.6 million in 4Q08. The sequential growth in online game operation revenues was primarily attributable to a number of achievements, including the launch of "Fantasy Zhu Xian," the release of expansion packs for some of the Company's existing games and a series of marketing activities.

The aggregate average concurrent users (ACU) for games under operation in mainland China was approximately 1,157,000 in 4Q09, as compared to 713,000 in 3Q09 and 690,000 in 4Q08.  The active paying customers (APC) for games operated in mainland China under the item-based revenue model was approximately 2,188,000 in 4Q09, as compared to 1,643,000 in 3Q09 and 1,546,000 in 4Q08.  The average revenue per active paying customer (ARPU) for games operated in mainland China under the item-based revenue model was RMB223 in 4Q09, as compared to RMB266 in 3Q09 and RMB225 in 4Q08.  The increase in ACU and APC from 3Q09 was mainly due to the strong performance of the newly launched "Fantasy Zhu Xian" and the continued popularity of a number of the Company's existing games.  The decrease in ARPU from 3Q09 was mainly due to the dilution effect arising from the launch of "Fantasy Zhu Xian" during 4Q09.

Overseas licensing revenues were RMB61.7 million (USD9.0 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB58.8 million in 3Q09 and RMB55.2 million in 4Q08.  The increase from 3Q09 was mainly due to an increase in usage-based royalty fees, and was partially offset by a decrease in initial license fees.

Film, television and other revenues were RMB4.5 million (USD0.7 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB45.3 million in 3Q09 and Nil in 4Q08.  Most of the film, television and other revenues recognized in 4Q09 were related to licensing of the copyright for the movie "Sophie's Revenge," which was released in August 2009.

Cost of Revenues

The cost of revenues was RMB81.5 million (USD11.9 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB95.0 million in 3Q09 and RMB49.3 million in 4Q08.

The online game related cost was RMB79.8 million (USD11.7 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB68.0 million in 3Q09 and RMB49.3 million in 4Q08.  The increase from 3Q09 was mainly due to increases in sales-related taxes and staff cost.

The film, television and other cost was RMB1.7 million (USD0.3 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB27.0 million in 3Q09 and Nil in 4Q08.  Most of the film, television and other cost recognized in 4Q09 was related to the movie "Sophie's Revenge."

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was RMB526.4 million (USD77.1 million) in 4Q09, an increase of 6.3%, or RMB31.4 million, from RMB495.0 million in 3Q09, and an increase of 42.9%, or RMB157.9 million, from RMB368.5 million in 4Q08.  Gross margin was 86.6% in 4Q09, as compared to 83.9% in 3Q09 and 88.2% in 4Q08.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were RMB249.8 million (USD36.6 million) in 4Q09, an increase of 26.6%, or RMB52.5 million, from RMB197.3 million in 3Q09, and an increase of 14.1%, or RMB30.9 million, from RMB218.9 million in 4Q08.  The increase in operating expenses from 3Q09 was mainly attributed to higher sales and marketing expenses, R&D expenses and general and administrative expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 41.7%, or RMB36.7 million, from RMB88.0 million in 3Q09 to RMB124.7 million (USD18.3 million) in 4Q09.  This was largely due to an increase in advertising and promotional expenses associated with both the launch of the new game "Fantasy Zhu Xian" and the launch of "Tale of the Mermaid," a large-scale expansion pack for "Perfect World II," during 4Q09.  In addition, the Company also incurred a special charge of approximately RMB17.5 million (USD2.6 million) associated with a change in the estimated useful lives of certain intangible assets acquired from InterServ which are related to outsourcing services.  The Company re-allocated and integrated most of the acquired outsourcing team into its game R&D business to further enhance the Company's R&D capabilities.

R&D expenses increased by 7.6%, or RMB5.4 million, from RMB71.5 million in 3Q09 to RMB76.9 million (USD11.3 million) in 4Q09.  The increase from 3Q09 was primarily due to an increase in staff cost.

General and administrative expenses increased by 27.7%, or RMB10.5 million, from RMB37.8 million in 3Q09 to RMB48.3 million (USD7.1 million) in 4Q09.  The increase from 3Q09 was mainly due to an increase in staff cost, including a special year-end bonus.

Operating Profit

Operating profit was RMB276.5 million (USD40.5 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB297.7 million in 3Q09 and RMB149.5 million in 4Q08.  Non-GAAP operating profit was RMB298.5 million (USD43.7 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB317.9 million in 3Q09 and RMB244.7 million in 4Q08.  The decrease from 3Q09 was mainly due to the special charge of approximately RMB17.5 million (USD2.6 million) associated with a change in the estimated useful lives of certain intangible assets acquired from InterServ which are related to the outsourcing services.  In addition, the launch of new game "Fantasy Zhu Xian" and "Tale of the Mermaid," a large-scale expansion pack for "Perfect World II," both during 4Q09, also caused an increase of advertising and promotional expenses.

Total Other Income

Total other income was RMB11.8 million (USD1.7 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB2.4 million in 3Q09 and RMB8.9 million in 4Q08.  The increase from 3Q09 was mainly due to recognition of certain government financial incentives in 4Q09.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was RMB17.5 million (USD2.6 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB11.1 million in 3Q09 and RMB33.6 million in 4Q08.  The increase from 3Q09 was mainly due to an increase in withholding tax on overseas licensing revenues and an increase in income tax associated with domestic online game operations.

Net Income Attributable to the Company's Shareholders

Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB270.8 million (USD39.7 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB288.3 million in 3Q09 and RMB124.8 million in 4Q08.  Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB292.8 million (USD42.9 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB308.5 million in 3Q09 and RMB220.0 million in 4Q08.

Basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB5.44 (USD0.80) and RMB5.09 (USD0.75), respectively, in 4Q09, as compared to RMB5.83 and RMB5.50, respectively, in 3Q09, and RMB2.22 and RMB2.12, respectively, in 4Q08. Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB5.88 (USD0.86) and RMB5.50 (USD0.81), respectively, in 4Q09, as compared to RMB6.24 and RMB5.88, respectively, in 3Q09, and RMB3.91 and RMB3.74, respectively, in 4Q08.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had RMB1,567.2 million (USD229.6 million) of cash and cash equivalents, as compared to RMB1,194.0 million as of September 30, 2009.  The increase was mainly due to net cash inflow generated from the Company's online game operations.

  Recent Development

  Established Subsidiary in Europe

In January 2010, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Europe to expand its overseas operating capabilities.

Business Outlook

Based on the Company's current operations, total revenues for the first quarter of 2010 are expected to be between RMB620 million and RMB644 million, representing an increase of 2% to 6% on a sequential basis and an increase of 46% to 51% on a year-over-year basis.  This reflects expected growth from the Company's existing games.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders and non-GAAP earnings per ADS by excluding share-based compensation charge and an in-process research and development charge related to the InterServ acquisition in October 2008 (which was recorded only in 4Q08) from operating profit, net income attributable to the Company's shareholders and earnings per ADS, respectively.  The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand the Company's operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess the Company's core operating results, as they exclude certain expenses that are (i) not expected to result in cash payments or (ii) non-recurring in nature. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be incurred and is not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures.  It should be considered in the overall evaluation of our results.  None of the non-GAAP measures is a measure of net income attributable to the Company's shareholders, operating profit, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.  We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our share-based compensation charge and an in-process research and development charge related to the InterServ acquisition in October 2008 in our reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, which should be considered when evaluating our performance.  These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are set forth at the end of this release.

Identive Group Announces Further Cost Reductions at Board & Executive Levels

ASHOUR APPOINTED CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, MARX APPOINTED CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, INVESTOR & ANALYST CONFERENCE CALL SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 11

SANTA ANA, Calif. and ISMANING, Germany, March 1 -- SCM Microsystems d.b.a Identive Group (Nasdaq: INVE; Frankfurt Stock Exchange: INV), a provider of products, services and solutions for the security, identification and RFID industries, today announced further significant reduction in costs at the Board of Directors and executive management levels.

Independent directors Dr. Boersch and Mr. Wenzel waived their right to receive any form of compensation from the company for 2010 and independent directors Mr. Douglas Morgan, Dr. Hans Liebler and Mr. Steven Humphreys have agreed not to receive any compensation of any type after March 31, 2010 as an important contribution of their commitment to the cost reduction program of the company. Additionally Dr. Boersch and Mr. Morgan agreed not to stand for election at the upcoming Annual General Meeting of the company to reduce the size and ongoing costs of the Board of Directors.

Further, the existing employment agreements of Mr. Felix Marx and Dr. Manfred Mueller have been terminated by mutual consent and both Mr. Marx and Dr. Mueller have agreed to enter into new employment agreements with Identive at significantly lower fixed costs. Under his new employment agreement Mr. Marx will serve as the company's Chief Operating Officer. In this role Mr. Marx shall be responsible for the operational management of the business units of the group with specific focus on driving organic growth of the company. Dr. Mueller will retain his roles as Executive Vice President of Identive Group and as CEO of the SCM Microsystems business unit under the terms of his new employment agreement.

Ayman S. Ashour, Executive Chairman of the Board, will assume the dual roles of CEO and Chairman of the Board of Identive Group. Additionally, the Board of Directors is expected to appoint a Lead Independent Director.

2010 Executive Compensation Plan

Identive also announced that its compensation committee is developing a new compensation plan for its executive management for the fiscal 2010 year that includes a higher proportion of variable compensation in the form of restricted stock, cash and stock options. Under the new plan, variable compensation is intended to reward the executive management based on corporate performance in a manner that aims to align executive compensation closely with the interests of the Company's stockholders. The Company will seek stockholder approval for the plan at the upcoming annual meeting.

Ayman Ashour commented, "I am very thankful to our directors for supporting our commitment to cost reduction and for their sending a clear and unequivocal message internally and externally about their belief in Identive Group and their willingness to sacrifice. Dr. Boersch, founder and CEO of our largest stockholder, Mountain Partners Group, has led by example in first agreeing to receive no Board compensation and in insisting on not accepting nomination at the upcoming annual meeting. We are thankful for his commitment and trust, and we are similarly thankful for Mr. Morgan's contribution and in particular for his support in securing the rights of the Company in relation to its investment in TranZfinity." Ashour added: "The costs associated with the independent Board members last year were over US$ 250,000; with these changes we expect to reduce them by at least two thirds."

Commenting on the new executive appointments Ashour added, "I am very much looking forward to continuing to work closely with Felix Marx as COO. We have operated as such from day one of our coming together and this alignment of the roles came at the request of Felix. Felix is a terrific organic growth leader with vision, tremendous industry knowledge and is very well known in our industry. We will together focus on completing the turnaround and to build the signature company in secure ID. I am also very pleased that Manfred Mueller will now have a focused role running our SCM business unit and believe that the SCM team under Manfred's leadership with a new range of convergence products and the newly launched thumb-sized PIV readers will contribute positively to Identive Group in 2010."

Felix Marx, COO of Identive Group stated, "Our cost reduction efforts have been more visible in the financial press but in the industry we are making very important inroads to accelerate further our growth. Our high quality RFID inlay manufacturing unit TagStar Systems has more than doubled its production capacity and we have expanded our sales resources in identity management within both Hirsch and Multicard. Our newly launched products in the reader area under the SCM brand and in payment systems under the Mybility brand are receiving excellent customer feedback." Marx further added, "We are in a unique position in our industry and it is very exciting to be part of a leadership team that is building the signature company in identity management and identification technologies."

Guidance Call March 11, 2010

The company has announced it will be providing forward guidance with an initial analyst and investor call on March 11, 2010 at 8:00 AM EST / 1400 CET and at subsequent events in California and Germany. More information about the call and meetings will be provided closer to the events.
