    Boeing Names Hinshaw Chief Information Officer

    CHICAGO, June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boeing has named John Hinshaw chief information officer and vice president of the company's Information Technology organization. Hinshaw, who was formerly chief information officer of Verizon Wireless, is replacing Scott Griffin, who has announced his retirement after 28 years at Boeing.

    Hinshaw, 36, will report to John Tracy, senior vice president of Engineering, Operations & Technology, starting June 29. He will lead the Information Technology organization and be responsible for all IT strategy, systems, infrastructure, architecture, processes and people companywide.

    "Scott Griffin's excellent leadership has established a great foundation and team for moving this company forward," said Tracy. "The depth, breadth and success of John's experience should add new dimensions and momentum to our efforts to become a more integrated and efficient global enterprise."

    As the CIO of Verizon Wireless, Hinshaw was responsible for leading the information technology organization supporting over 60 million customers. His responsibilities included managing the company's IT portfolio, including global supply chain, billing, sales, and customer care systems. He was also responsible for successfully completing a significant consolidation of the company's core systems.

    Hinshaw joined Verizon (formally Bell Atlantic) in 1993 and worked in a number of increasingly responsible IT positions, including vice president, Information Technology and chief information officer for Verizon Wireless South Area; vice president of Information Technology at Verizon Wireless HQ; and director of Information Systems for Bell Atlantic Mobile.

    Prior to Verizon, Hinshaw also held IT positions with Accenture as well as the U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S. Department of Defense. He has a bachelor's degree in computer information systems from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

    Griffin, 52, is retiring July 1. He has been Boeing CIO since 1999, and his 28 years of service to the company have included positions in customer support, manufacturing and information technology in both the commercial and defense business units. He will be pursuing a master's degree in non-profit leadership at Seattle University, starting this summer.

    New Haven Residents To Benefit From Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Voice, Multimedia and Internet Access

    NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents and commuters in New Haven County, Verizon Wireless, operator of the nation's most reliable wireless network, has expanded its network with two new cell sites. The new sites increase high-speed wireless data coverage and capacity along I-91 and I-95 in New Haven, and the surrounding area.

    This network expansion is part of the company's aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year, including nearly $318 million in New England in 2006 alone, to stay ahead of growing demand for Verizon Wireless voice and data services. Since 2000, Verizon Wireless has invested $35 billion-on average $5 billion a year-into its national wireless network as part of its commitment to offer customers the most reliable service available, including wireless data services such as picture messaging, text messaging, BroadbandAccess high-speed internet and the company's exclusive V CAST service.

    BroadbandAccess Revision A offers computer users the nation's most reliable high-speed wireless mobile broadband network, operating at average upload speeds between 500 and 800 kbps, and download speeds between 600 kbps and 1.4 mbps. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones over Verizon Wireless' high-speed EV-DO network.

    Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the first quarter of 2007 as the company added 1.7 million net new customers and also reported the lowest customer turnover (highest customer loyalty) rate in the wireless industry.

    The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "can you hear me now" national advertising campaign. Nationally, these test men and women drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles almost 1,000,000 miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways as well as major roads and surface streets in high- population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts, to confirm that voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

    AT&T Nevada to Bring More Than 650 New Jobs to Reno and Las Vegas

    RENO, Nev., June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. has announced that AT&T Nevada will bring more than 650 new jobs to Reno and Las Vegas starting this year. The jobs will be divided between the two AT&T locations, with Las Vegas hosting 350 jobs and Reno hosting 300 jobs.

    "We bring these jobs to the state of Nevada because of the visionary leadership of our Legislature and our governor," said Hal Lenox, AT&T president Nevada. "They have created a pro-growth culture and the right business-friendly climate to bring hundreds of new jobs to Nevada. We are pleased to announce our jobs expansion and continued investment in this great state."

    "Companies have more choices now when it comes to where they want to expand their business. In this highly competitive environment, it says a great deal about our state that a premier company like AT&T chose to invest and grow here," said Assembly Majority Leader John Oceguera, D-Las Vegas. "AT&T continues its commitment to investing in Nevada. It already connects communities across this state, and now it's bringing hundreds of new job opportunities to Nevada. The company's actions clearly outline its commitment to invest in Nevada's economy."

    "When we create laws that encourage companies to compete in the marketplace in Nevada, one of the added benefits is investment in technology, jobs and infrastructure, which in turn benefits Nevadans," said Sen. Randolph Townsend, R-Reno. "As legislators, we work to provide a framework that promotes competition and allows the marketplace to flourish. When that happens, we all benefit.

    The jobs are part of an initiative that AT&T announced last September involving the relocation of customer service positions that had previously been outsourced. All of the 650 jobs are Communications Worker of America (CWA)-represented jobs. These jobs come as part of a strong relationship between AT&T and the CWA. The center will include additional management jobs.

    "This is a good day for the people of Nevada and for our economy. We must continue to provide incentives for companies so that they'll invest in our state infrastructure both technologically and through employment opportunities," said U.S. Sen. John Ensign, whose leadership on technology issues in the Senate has helped remove burdensome government regulations on the industry.

    The 650 jobs will support AT&T's Tier 1 Data Calling Center, which handles customer service for AT&T customers across the country. Employees in the new Nevada positions will assist AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet subscribers who self-install their service or have basic questions about the service.

    "Our Nevada telecom workforce is among the best that you will find in the country, and we recognize that investment in new technology is bringing new jobs for us locally and nationally," said John Doran, Nevada CWA staff representative, District 9. "We have a proud history of serving customers, and we plan to preserve that tradition."

    Hiring will begin in Las Vegas in fourth quarter of 2007 and in Reno second quarter of 2008. Prospective job candidates can apply online at http://www.att.jobs/.

    Cars.com and DriversEd.com Announce Top 10 Driving Mistakes Teenagers MakeSite Offers Advice on Best New Cars for Teens

    CHICAGO, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Cars.com (http://www.cars.com/), in conjunction with DriversEd.com, America's leading drivers education resource and solution, have identified the 10 most common mistakes teen drivers make, and identified their choices for the best new cars for teenage drivers.

    "There are a number of factors that lead to an increase in accidents for teen drivers, including inexperience, dealing with emergency situations, distracted driving and the inclination to show off for friends," said DriversEd.com founder Gary Tsifrin. "By recognizing these common mistakes, we hope that teenagers will be able to avoid the risks associated with being a teenager behind the wheel."

    The most common mistakes are:

    Being distracted behind the wheel: Cell phones, CDs, food and even text messages can pose serious distractions to drivers. In some cases, drivers will even text message their backseat passengers. Distracted driving contributes to 80 percent of collisions.

    Taking too many risks: Actions like ignoring traffic signals or school zone signs and changing lanes without checking blind spots are all considered "risky behavior." The difference between risky behavior and distracted driving is that risky behavior is deliberate, while distracted driving is often the result of ignorance.

    Speeding: Most drivers occasionally speed, but teens do so because they don't have a good sense of how a car's speed can affect their response time. On average, teens drive faster than all other drivers as a whole. They will exceed speeds on residential roads that they interpret as empty because they haven't had any close calls there. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reported that speeding factored into roughly one-third of all fatal crashes in 2005 when teenagers were behind the wheel -- some 50 percent more than it did in fatal crashes for 20- to 49-year-olds.

    Overcrowding the car: Teens frequently overcrowd their cars, cramming five or six into a cabin meant to seat four or five. Worse yet, the extra passengers often result in teens driving more aggressively. The distractions of carrying too many passengers can have serious consequences as well.

    Driving under the influence: When teens drink and drive, they're even less likely to practice safe habits like seat belt usage: Of the 15- to 20-year- olds killed after drinking and driving in 2003, 74 percent were unrestrained, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Because teenagers are too young to drink legally, they're also less likely to call their parents to come get them when they shouldn't drive.

    Following too closely: Maintaining a proper following distance is a critical step in preventing accidents. At 60 mph, a typical car needs between 120 and 140 feet to reach a full stop. Most SUVs require an extra 5 to 10 feet on top of that. Consider that 60 mph translates to 88 feet per second and it's easy to see why maintaining a proper following distance is a critical step in preventing accidents.

    Driving unbuckled: A 2003 survey by NHTSA reported that 79 percent of drivers ages 16 to 24 said they wore their seat belts regularly, while 84 percent of the overall population did so. Approximately 21 percent of young drivers do not wear their seat belts regularly. Many young drivers have a sense of invincibility that also factors into teen speeding. Fortunately, many cars today have seat belt reminders that flash warning lights or chime until belts are secured. Call them annoying, but they help keep occupants buckled.

    Not being able to handle emergencies: Knowing how to avoid an accident comes with driving experience. Young drivers can only learn so much in the classroom, which leaves learning maneuvers like straightening out a skid or how to apply the brakes correctly to real-world experience. Speeding and distracted driving only make things worse, as they compound the lack of experience by putting drivers at higher risk of encountering an emergency situation in the first place.

    Driving drowsy: Drowsy driving affects an unlikely group: the so-called "good kids." That means straight-A students or those with a full plate of extracurricular activities. Overachievers have a lot of pressure. If they're playing varsity sports and are also preparing for an AP English exam, and if they've been going since 7 a.m. and now it's midnight and they have to get home, they don't think, "I'm too tired to drive."

    Choosing the wrong car and not maintaining it: Too often, a combination of tight budgets and high style leads teens to pass up important safety features for larger engines and flashy accessories. A teen or novice driver will opt for a cool-looking sports car rather than a car that's really a safer choice. Then, if they sink all their money into it, they might be remiss in maintaining it.

    Cars.com has several new-car recommendations for teen drivers based on a variety of criteria, including safety, price and size.

    "We kept in mind that many parents are more concerned about safety, while their child is looking for style," said Cars.com managing editor Patrick Olsen. "This list offers new-car choices in various body styles and a wide range of prices likely to meet the needs of parents and teens."

    Below are the top new-car picks for teens, listed by body style. Cars: Chevrolet Impala Honda Civic Honda Fit Mazda3 Mazda MX-5 (Miata) convertible Mini Cooper Scion tC Subaru Impreza Toyota Corolla Volvo S40 SUVs: Hyundai Tucson Toyota RAV4 Subaru Forester Pickups: Nissan Frontier Crew Cab Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Criteria and Considerations:

    Safety as a category was highly weighted. While neither Cars.com nor DriversEd.com can designate a vehicle as safe or unsafe, an interpretation of crash-test ratings and an audit of safety features was conducted. Crash-test scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety were used in measuring safety.

    Due to the rollover risk in SUVs, the most important features considered were electronic stability systems and side curtain airbags. In small vehicles, side-impact airbags and curtains are highly weighted, as they often prove to be the difference between a Poor and a Good IIHS rating for a particular model. No vehicle with weak crash-test ratings was eligible for this list.

    Ownership cost/reliability is another important consideration because low ownership cost can easily compensate for a higher sale price. Aside from being problematic, repairs are a significant component in the total cost of ownership. For reliability data, Cars.com relies on J.D. Power and Associates' Mechanical Reliability Ratings and Consumer Reports' Reliability Histories. Other factors in cost of ownership include fuel economy, required fuel grade (octane) and insurance costs, because these are items that many teens end up paying for on their own.

    For more advice about buying cars for teen drivers, including information about used-car recommendations, visit Cars.com or DriversEd.com. In addition to these recommendations for teens, Cars.com recently selected the best cars for first-time drivers as part of its annual Lifestyle Awards. Teens and their parents can visit Cars.com's Lifestyle Buying Guide to view these selections and use the site's Lifestyle Criteria Search to choose the car that best meets their needs.

    Allot Unveils Industry's First DPI-based Service Gateway Supporting Two 10 Gigabit Ethernet LinksModular and open architecture based on standard AdvancedTCA(R) platform to support more than 20Gbps of traffic and enable full integration of value-added service applications

    CHICAGO, June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NXTcomm -- Allot Communications Ltd. , a leader in IP service optimization solutions based on deep packet inspection (DPI), today announced the launch of a Service Gateway platform that will enable broadband providers to build efficient, secure, manageable and profitable intelligent networks that are optimized to deliver Internet-based content and services.

    "With the proliferation of Internet applications, such as P2P file sharing and content delivery, VoIP, video, and gaming, broadband providers face new challenges in managing network efficiency, security and quality of service," said Allot CEO and President, Rami Hadar. "They seek opportunities to offer customers value-added services based on these applications. With the Service Gateway, Allot provides the first DPI-based platform that not only meets the growing need for speed and functionality, but also enables integration of VAS capabilities into a common platform which truly allows deployment of new revenue-generating services."

    The Allot Service Gateway is the industry's first open, standards-based platform for broadband service control and optimization based on Layer-7 DPI. It is based on an AdvancedTCA(R)-compliant chassis with modular, hot-swappable DPI blades. A single platform provides four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, that manage two 10 Gigabit Ethernet lines, supporting more than 20 Gigabits per second (Gbps) of traffic.

    The Allot Service Gateway brings these essential performance and DPI capabilities together in a unified framework. Within the Service Gateway, the application and subscriber information for each traffic flow is identified by a single DPI process that can then dispatch the flow to an array of additional services and actions. These actions may include traffic prioritization and Quality of Service (QoS) optimization, filtering (including Parental Control), blocking security threats (Clean Line and Denial of Service prevention) or collecting records for real-time charging or offline usage-based charging.

    "Service providers are increasing investment in deep packet inspection technology to enforce application-specific policies designed to maximize network efficiency, create new services and ensure high-quality user experiences," said Mark Bieberich, Vice President at Yankee Group. "In response to these demand drivers, vendors must augment product portfolios to support rapid adoption of premium Internet services and execute mainstay DPI functions such as P2P traffic control, network monitoring, and prevention of security threats."

    By utilizing a standard, carrier-grade platform, Allot aims to enable the integration of VAS applications into the Service Gateway, where they can be governed by a unified policy management system and protected by built-in redundancy on all functions in the gateway. The ability of the value-added services to leverage the gateway's common DPI process and single point of integration with the operator's OSS and subscriber management environment should reduce the complexity and cost of new service deployment.

    "Allot recognizes the difficulty and inefficiency that Tier-1 and Tier-2 service providers currently face when interfacing and integrating with a multitude of proprietary vendor equipment all using different standards, different interfaces, and different policy management systems," said Hadar. "We believe the integration and service synergy of the Allot Service Gateway provides a compelling solution to bring together best-in-class capabilities on one platform."

    Investment protection is built into the platform's modular design, which offers pay-as-you grow deployment with different price-points for different levels of performance and throughput. All blades are field-upgradeable, with an integral hardware bypass to ensure no downtime during maintenance or upgrade procedures. The Allot Service Gateway also leverages Allot's powerful NetXplorer centralized management software and it is fully integrated with the Allot Subscriber Management Platform.

    Initial customer trials of the Allot Service Gateway are slated to begin in the next 60-90 days.

    ARRIS TeleWire Supply(R) and Wireless Bypass Establish Sales and Marketing Agreement

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS TeleWire Supply today announced an agreement to provide the Wireless Bypass line of DOCSIS(R) over wireless plant extension products to cable MSOs. Wireless Plant Extension (WPE) technology is commonly employed to traverse areas where physical barriers (parking lots, roads, bridges, waterways, railroad tracks, historical areas, and protected land) are present -- or where expensive and time consuming permits are required.

    "MSOs need a cost-effective means to extend 6 MHz data channels to businesses that are within a close proximity, but not connected to the HFC plant," said Tom Williams, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for ARRIS TeleWire Supply. "Wireless Bypass provides us with a proven line extension solution that MSOs can install in a few hours, at around a tenth of the cost of building physical plant."

    "Wireless Bypass was first to introduce a DOCSIS over wireless plant extension product into the MSO space to help cable operators respond to SOHO opportunities," said John Servaes, CEO of Wireless Bypass. "ARRIS, an industry leader in business services solutions, has the resources and relationships to better expose the industry to our products. Wireless Bypass is pleased to be aligned with ARRIS."

    Wireless Bypass products are designed to operate within an approximate two mile range point-to-multipoint, and up to 20 miles point-to-point.

    Extreme Networks and Nortel Team to Demonstrate Radical Improvements in Cost and Performance of Carrier Ethernet NetworksLive Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) Interoperability Demo at NXTcomm Booth #'s 1355 and 2051

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Extreme Networks(R) and Nortel plan to hit a milestone in the pursuit of cost and performance optimized carrier Ethernet with an interoperability demonstration of Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) at the NXTcomm tradeshow in Chicago, June 19-21, 2007. This live demonstration will showcase Ethernet connections over a PBT trunk between Extreme Networks exhibitor booth (No. 1355) and the Nortel booth (No. 2051).

    "The multi-vendor PBT interoperability demonstration will show significant progress for this new technology," said Michael Howard, principal analyst and co-founder, Infonetics Research. "This is an important step towards accelerating the deployment of PBT in service provider networks."

    The PBT interoperability demonstration showcases Extreme Networks new BlackDiamond(R) 12802R carrier Ethernet switch. Introduced last month, the BlackDiamond 12802R bridges the price/performance gap for service providers in need of a cost-effective, carrier-grade Ethernet solution for lower density business and residential applications. The new BlackDiamond 12802R compliments the BlackDiamond 12804R which is targeted for higher density metro area applications, including, E-Line, E-LAN, IPTV, VoIP and other real-time communications.

    "We are very excited about this milestone and the results we have been able to achieve with our new BlackDiamond 12800 series products," said Peter Lunk, director of service provider marketing for Extreme Networks. "PBT is the next step in Ethernet's adoption as the transport protocol of choice in carrier networks. It provides determinism and resiliency to service providers who may have been hesitant to deploy Ethernet transport networks in the past."

    In addition to the PBT demonstrations, Mr. Lunk will be participating in a Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) panel entitled, "MEF Carrier Ethernet Roadmap" at 10:45am on Thursday, June 21, 2007 at booth #7551. During this panel Mr. Lunk will cover the progress to date towards the Ethernet Network to Network Interface (E-NNI) specification designed to speed the deployment of carrier Ethernet services with a standard that simplifies service provider peering arrangements.

    Next Inning Technology Updates Outlooks for SiRF Technology, LAM Research, KLA-Tencor, and Apple

    PRINCETON, N.J., June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has published updated outlooks for SiRF Technology , LAM Research , KLA-Tencor , and Apple .

    During their 21-day risk-free trial, new members will receive full access to the Next Inning web site including a recently published 14 page report providing detailed analysis of worldwide semiconductor sales:

    https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn497

    In response to member inquiries, McWilliams wrote: "Some might suggest that once bandwidth becomes plentiful enough it will allow for a watershed of competition in video aggregation. I don't disagree with this notion, but I think those who suggest this watershed will destroy the business models for cable and telecom companies are overlooking some critical aspects of how this all works..."

    McWilliams also looks at these topics: -- How big of a threat to SiRF is Broadcom's acquisition of Global Locate? What is Wall Street missing in its reaction to this deal? -- Some analysts have recently predicted steep decline in the semiconductor equipment business cycle impacting companies like LAM and KLA-Tencor. Does McWilliams agree with predictions for a downturn, or has a buying opportunity now emerged? -- Does McWilliams expect Apple's efforts in video to become a major threat to cable and satellite firms? Which video infrastructure firms are likely to benefit as the video market evolves?

    Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 284% since its inception versus 103% for the Nasdaq.

    Free Online Educational Materials Available to Parents and Caregivers to Keep Children Learning Throughout the Summer

    NEW YORK, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Parents and caregivers looking for educational activities to keep their children learning throughout the summer now have a free online source for dozens of educational games and materials that will keep children entertained and engaged.

    The materials, developed by some of the nation's leading education and literacy organizations, contain age-appropriate reading and writing activities, and use a variety of other resources, including children's television shows and hit songs, to creatively connect with children.

    The materials can be accessed free of charge through a special Summer Activities section on the Thinkfinity.org home page.

    And, since summer learning isn't just for kids, parents can sharpen their own teaching skills and learn effective techniques to improve literacy and develop a love of reading throughout the family through free online courses at the Thinkfinity Literacy Network, formerly known as the Verizon Literacy Network.

    Thinkfinity.org is the Verizon Foundation's signature educational and literacy program and online portal to more than 55,000 educational resources, including standards-based, grade-specific, K-12 lesson plans and other materials that can be used in the classroom, in literacy programs, after- school programs or at home. Content for Thinkfinity.org is provided in partnership with many of the nation's leading educational organizations.

    Among the resources available to parents, caregivers, tutors, librarians and others in the Thinkfinity.org summer activities section are:

    -- Create Trading Cards for Summer Books (Designed for children aged 8 to 11). Using the International Reading Association's ReadWriteThink.org's online Character Trading Cards tool, children answer a series of questions to create unique, personalized trading cards of their favorite characters. The cards can then be used in games, such as guessing who created the card; or one child can describe a few of the character's traits and have others try to guess the identity. http://www.readwritethink.org/beyondtheclassroom/summer /grades3_5/TradingCards/ -- Top Ten Songs (Designed for 14-to-18-year-olds). Music fans can create a "wiki" -- a Web site that allows visitors to add, remove or edit content -- containing background on their favorite songs, such as the songwriter, lyrics and maps or pictures that reflect the message of the song. Users can then share the "wiki" with friends who can create their own or add to the original. The exercise will help teens become more familiar with technology while also writing about and sharing music that interests them. http://www.readwritethink.org/beyondtheclassroom/summer /grades9_12/SongLyrics/ -- Write Summer Alphabet Books (Designed for children aged 4 to 8). Using ReadWriteThink.org's online Alphabet Organizer tool, children can create summer-themed alphabet books. In their books, children choose summer words to go with each letter of the alphabet and also draw pictures for the pages. http://www.readwritethink.org/beyondtheclassroom/summer /gradesK_2/AlphabetBooks/ -- Selecting and Sharing Books With Young Children, Part I. This 45- minute online course, developed by the National Center for Family Literacy, will teach parents about the characteristics to look for in quality children's books and six methods for choosing books for children from birth to 8 years old. http://literacynetwork.verizon.org/Free-Online-Courses.21.0.html

    OpVista and Redback Networks to Demonstrate Advanced Business Services at Cable Tec ExpoOpVista's New 'EtherWave' Solution and Redback Networks SmartEdge Multi-Service Edge Router Deliver Lower Cost Services

    ORLANDO, Fla., June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OpVista and Redback Networks, an Ericsson company, today announced that the companies will conduct a network simulation later this week at the Society of Cable Television Engineers Cable Tec Expo (in OpVista's booth, 2562) to show how carriers can meet the video and "GbE" (Gigabit Ethernet) needs in their networks by cost-effectively distributing to the network edge.

    OpVista provides optical transport systems that deliver scalable and reconfigurable dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) for leading organizations in the cable and telecommunications industries. Redback Networks, an Ericsson company, sells an all-in-one router platform for next generation broadband services -- such as high-speed Internet, phone, TV and broadband mobility -- to more than 500 carrier customers worldwide.

    MSO and other carrier networks are straining under the tremendous growth of high-bandwidth video and data services, particularly when it comes to the "bandwidth bottleneck" at the edge of the legacy single-service broadband networks. Therefore, OpVista and Redback will demonstrate how operators can leverage OpVista's new EtherWave solution and Redback SmartEdge Multi-service Edge Router to deliver GbE-based services to the edge and lower their "CAPEX" and "OPEX" costs. EtherWave consists of the OpVista2000 TR110 GbE "muxponder" with Layer 2 functionality and the TR71 10GbE transponder.

    The OpVista2000/SmartEdge Multi-service Edge Router demonstration incorporates two separate video sources which feed video streams over GbE. The Redback SmartEdge aggregates the packets coming from both ports into a single 10GbE stream and hands it off to an OpVista2000 TR71 card at "Node A." The 10GbE is carried over a 10G wavelength to the OpVista2000 at "Node B." The OpVista TR110 card disaggregates the 10GbE signal into the individual GbE streams via the Layer 2 switching capability within the TR110.

    "This is an important demonstration of our new EtherWave solution offering the industry's most advanced set of GbE aggregation and transport capabilities," said Dawn Hogh, VP of Marketing and Business Development for OpVista. "EtherWave delivers extremely cost-effective aggregation and distribution of GbE services, and we are very pleased to demonstrate our solution with Redback. CAPEX and OPEX reduction as well as interoperability goes to the heart of our value proposition for carriers."

    "Video and bandwidth-hungry data services are driving most network upgrades worldwide, competition is speeding the pace of new service introductions, and end users are accessing services through a growing number of devices, including mobile devices," said Arpit Joshipura, VP, Product Management, Redback Networks. "When building out networks, MSOs and carriers therefore need to invest in technology that will provide reliability, flexibility, interoperability and overall cost efficiency to address these market forces."

    In related product news, OpVista also announced that the EtherWave solution received a 4.0 Diamond rating in Broadband Gear Report's "Diamond Technology Reviews" program for 2007. Launched in 2004 by Hermes Media & Research, "BGR" has become the leading online product and deployment alert service for broadband engineering professionals, such as 8000 cable broadband engineering managers employed by Tier 1, Tier 2 and independent operators in North America and Europe. BGR launched the Diamond Technology Reviews program in 2005 to answer the need for an unbiased technology review program within the broadband community. Five senior engineering executives in the cable (MSO) industry constituted this year's judging panel.

    About Redback Networks

    An Ericsson company since January 2007 , Redback Networks helps manage triple-play services for 50 million subscribers and 15 of the top 20 telephone carriers worldwide. Redback's multi-service routing platform delivers next generation broadband services such as VoIP, IPTV, On-Demand Video, and on-line gaming. Redback Networks has more than 500 carrier customers worldwide and is based in San Jose, CA. For more information, visit http://www.redback.com/.

Under a professional services agreement, CSC will be responsible for the management and operation of relevant iSOFT resources in the UK and in India, working in close collaboration with iSOFT executive and management teams. Transitioning of responsibilities will begin immediately.

    As a result of this new agreement, CSC's payments to iSOFT over the life of the program will reduce, while CSC's total cost of program delivery currently remains as previously forecast.

    Under the agreement, CSC no longer withholds its agreement to a formal change of ownership of iSOFT.

    "We are delighted to have successfully concluded these discussions and we acknowledge the significant contribution made by Connecting for Health in bringing all parties together to determine a satisfactory outcome," said Guy Hains, president of CSC's European Group. "Together with the NHS and iSOFT, we are excited about LORENZO and believe that the new agreement will successfully support the final stage of its development and delivery starting next year.

    "CSC and iSOFT are fully committed to the successful delivery of the NPfIT, and this decision has been governed solely by what all three organizations consider to be in the best interests of achieving this goal."

    Northeast Delta Dental Slashes Claims Retrieval Time from Days to Seconds With EMC Archiving SolutionLeading Dental Benefits Administrator Recovers Nearly Three Terabytes of Valuable File Server Space

    HOPKINTON, Mass., June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation , the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced that Northeast Delta Dental, a leading administrator of dental benefits in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, has gained control over soaring volumes of insurance claims by utilizing a sophisticated EMC(R) archiving solution. The solution, which employs EMC DiskXtender(R) file system archiving software and EMC Centera(TM) content-addressed storage, enables Delta Dental to comply more effectively with the requirements of state departments of insurance, improve the responsiveness of customer service, and extend the value of its information technology investments.

    Northeast Delta Dental's archiving implementation was recently honored at Computerworld's Storage Networking World, having been selected in the "Best Practices in Storage" Awards Program as winner of the Innovation and Promise category. These awards recognize organizations that have created strategic business value through the innovative use of storage technologies and services.

    Dan Kaplan, Manager of Networking & Technical Support for Northeast Delta Dental, said, "We are under scrutiny by three state departments of insurance and must be able to respond promptly to their requests, as well as to day-to-day inquiries from customers and dental offices. Traditionally, we stored scanned images of claims on file servers and manually archived them to tape. But as our business expanded and the volume of new claims grew to 5,000 per day, this explosion of digital images was overwhelming storage capacity on our servers and threatening to shut down our core applications. Our IT staff was consumed with moving older claims from the servers to tape, which then had to be transported to an offsite vault.

    "With EMC's file system archiving solution, our customer service representatives, state auditors, and our other employees can access claims in seconds, rather than the hours or even days it used to take our IT staff to find and restore the tapes and retrieve the claims. This solution not only saves us time and money, but also enables our company representatives to serve our customers and dentists more effectively. And we're also able to comply with stringent state regulations more efficiently than ever before."

    Based on the recommendations of EMC Global Services, Northeast Delta Dental today applies the principles of information lifecycle management (ILM) by setting policies with DiskXtender to automatically archive any images older than three months from the file servers to the Centera storage. DiskXtender also keeps track of where each claim image is located on the archive and leaves pointers on the file servers to enable easy retrieval, speeding access and freeing valuable disk capacity on the production file servers.

    "EMC DiskXtender takes a lot of burden off our IT staff and allows them to focus on more valuable activities," stated Kaplan. "The software simply follows the policies we set, so there's a tremendous amount of data that we just don't have to worry about moving around any more. We've also gained back nearly three terabytes of space on our file servers, which has been reallocated to other applications. This allows us to get more value out of that investment and saves the cost of buying additional file servers."

    Once archived, secure long-term retention of claim images is critical to comply with the regulations of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, where Northeast Delta Dental does business. These rules dictate that claims must be retained for seven years with controls to make sure they are not altered or at risk for loss. Yet, claims also must remain easily accessible for state auditors.

    "EMC Centera and EMC DiskXtender enable us to meet the demands of state departments of insurance with confidence," asserted Kaplan. "First, the solution ensures that our archived insurance claims are secure and authentic by not only capturing the content, but also maintaining its context and structure. And because the archived claims are so easy to access, auditors can still get the information they need quickly."

    EMC Global Services provided complete implementation services for the DiskXtender and Centera archiving solution. EMC also implemented a second Centera in a separate building, deploying EMC Centera Archive Replicator software to replicate archived data for added disaster recovery protection.

    "We looked at other archiving solutions, but chose EMC for its reputation in the industry for excellent products and services," noted Kaplan. "The solution runs almost unattended and requires minimal training time. EMC's expertise in ILM has been invaluable in defining and implementing a strong and effective archiving strategy."

    MONTREAL and PARIS, June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nstein Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: EIN), a leader in content management solutions for the publishing, media and entertainment industries, today announced that Groupe La Depeche du Midi, headquartered in Toulouse, France, has selected Nstein's Ntelligent Content Management (NCM) Suite to power its regional multimedia and multiservice portal, scheduled to be launched in September 2007.

    "Our main daily newspaper, La Depeche du Midi, enjoys high visibility and readership in its local market. We want to offer our readers and Web users even more by building a regional multimedia portal that will integrate new services and content with strong added value. To do this, we needed a proven, scalable solution that was flexible enough to support our online strategy. Nstein's NCM Suite fits the bill exactly," explained Bruno Pachent, Marketing Director of Groupe La Depeche du Midi, and President and General Manager of La Depeche Interactive.

    The group launched a call for tenders early in the second quarter of 2007. Following a thorough evaluation of a number of solutions, the company selected Nstein's NCM Suite, which features such modules as Web Content Management and Text Mining. The choice was driven by several factors. First, NCM is the only solution with all of the components required by La Depeche du Midi. Moreover, NCM has a proven track record within the press and e-publishing industry, with many satisfied media clients around the world. The solution's scalability and flexibility were also major selling points.

    "Our NCM Suite will enable La Depeche du Midi to produce value-added content and optimize its operational processes and editorial resources. Nstein's unique background and technology make it possible for media professionals to fully leverage new digital distribution channels. We are glad that La Depeche du Midi has chosen us to power its Web strategy," said Bruno Genuit, General Manager of Nstein Europe.

    With multimedia content and new niche-oriented sections (people, women, etc.), the La Depeche du Midi portal will introduce content that targets new audiences and promotes the creation of social networks. The portal will also integrate existing strategic content, such as madepeche.com, which lets users be the reporter and submit their own articles, and the classified ads section, which currently ranks as the largest in the area. NCM's Web 2.0 functionalities (blogs, forums, etc.) will help build a true online community, an important competitive advantage for La Depeche du Midi.
