    Chrysler Group Cell Phone Donation Benefits Local Charities

    AUBURN HILLS, Mich., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Each year, more than 135 million cellular phones are sent to landfills as millions of users upgrade to newer models at a rate of nearly 350,000 phones each day. Dave Knuth, Manager -- Voice and Wireless Operations for DaimlerChrysler, recognized that his company had its own surplus of obsolete phones and was determined to do something about it. Knuth arranged for the donation of more than 3,000 out-of-service phones to local charity.

    Knuth saw the opportunities as two-fold. Charities could use the equipment to provide much-needed access for low-income families and victims of domestic abuse. Secondly, discarded cell phones pose an ecological risk if they are disposed of improperly.

    "You don't want these things to end up in landfills," said Knuth. "Just like computers or any form of electronics, if cell phones are not handled properly and end up in a landfill, they create tremendous amounts of toxic waste."

    Enter The Wireless Source, an Oakland County, Mich., charity that recycles these phones on behalf of assistance organizations, re-purposing old models for new users and donating the proceeds from the sale.

    The charity, which has been in operation for 12 years, was created to address the growing need for an intermediary between business and the charitable community.

    "As the markets were starting to broaden and people moved from one phone to the next, the question was 'what do we do with these phones?'" said Bob Sullivan, President and CEO, The Wireless Source. "The infrastructure just wasn't in place to deal with these issues, and those phones can be redeployed in areas or markets where they really have some use."

    Knuth's charity contact, Margaret Schneider, Development Coordinator for Charitable Recycling at the Wireless Source, recognized the opportunity and led him through the various steps necessary to complete the transfer.

    "He was interested in donating the phones to a charitable organization," said Schneider. "When the phones come to us, we not only check their functionality, but we also completely scrub all personal data to the phone's original state."

    After this process is successfully completed, the phones are ready for secondary markets and the proceeds from their sale can be allocated to the intended charitable organizations.

    Knuth and Schneider donated the proceeds to The Lighthouse, a prominent Oakland County charity. Given the national two percent cell phone recycling rate, Knuth's proposal was gratefully accepted and was anything but business- as-usual.

    "DaimlerChrysler should be applauded," said Sullivan. "There are a lot of corporations that have these assets and don't apply them to charity."

    Proceeds from the sale of the phones will be used to fund programs that provide assistance for low-income Oakland County residents.

CommScope is the Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) of enclosures and Karlee, a minority-owned business, manufactures these products on behalf of CommScope. CommScope embraced the diversity challenge from its customers and created a value-added model that benefits the Carrier group while meeting the demand for quality cabinets due to network expansion and the industry's diversity commitment.

    CommScope(R) Introduces a High-Density, Tool-Less Insulation Displacement Connection Product (TIDC)Reliable, High-Density and Fast Cross-Connecting Connector Blocks for 26-22 Gauge Wire

    HICKORY, N.C., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CommScope, Inc. , a global leader in infrastructure solutions for communications networks, today announced the availability of a new high-density, Tool-Less Insulation Displacement Connection (TIDC). The TIDC product family provides a low-profile, robust and easy way to wire telecommunications distribution fields. The reliable three-step connection process does not require any tools and the accessibility makes operational testing simple. The high-density design provides up to 50 percent more connections when compared to other products. The TIDC compact size is effective particularly where space is limited, such as in the central office, outside plant or environmental enclosures.

    "We are pleased to introduce this user-friendly TIDC product to the telecommunications market. The new TIDC is representative of how CommScope continues to research, design and manufacture solutions that improve performance and reliability," stated Ted Hally, CommScope executive vice president and general manager, Carrier. "This new TIDC provides installers with a reliable, three-step connectorization process that does not require tools or additional training. The installer simply lifts the toggle, inserts the wire and presses the toggle closed. Additionally, the TIDC increases the connection points nearly 50 percent in relation to other products, which is a positive benefit for network designers," explained Hally.

    The CommScope TIDC features a high-density connector that is ideal for the stringent space requirements typically found in the central office, mini-huts, remote terminals and electronic equipment enclosures. The tip and ring holes are color-coded for easy installation of wires. Wire-wrap terminations are on the base and can be easily sealed. Both gel-filled and non-gel-filled versions are available and meet the requirements for outdoor or controlled environments. Additionally, this design features both flush mounting and low profile mounting. Openings are designed within the block for single-pair or multi-pair test probes. Finally, pass-through holes allow insulation residue to be removed from the connection point and allow circuits to be daisy chained.

    The TIDC product family provides high-density, reliable interconnection through a well-designed front access that delivers unobstructed cross- connecting and testing operations. The TIDC is designed for the central office distributing frame interconnects, outside plant and building entrance.

    In addition to TIDC, the CommScope Carrier group offers various apparatus designed for switching and transmission applications in telephone central offices and remote locations. The CommScope Carrier group offers lab- engineered, integrity cabinet solutions that provide effective thermal, EMI and environmental protection. The quality of these integrated cabinet solutions is proven through the global deployment of over 350,000 cabinets meeting GR-487 requirements.

    Tucows Introduces First Wholesale Premium Domain Name ServiceMakes Finding and Buying a Great Domain Name Easier

    TORONTO, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tucows Inc. , a leading provider of Internet services to web hosting companies and ISPs worldwide, has unveiled its Premium Domains service - the first such offering at the wholesale level.

    Partnering with Domain Distribution Network (Fabulous.com) and NameMedia's Afternic Domain Listing Service (DLS), Tucows now offers over 600,000 premium domains for sale through its network of over 7,000 service providers worldwide.

    Domain names are extremely important to businesses and individuals looking to establish an Internet presence. They provide a crucial part of corporate identities and create memorable online brands that are easy to market and remember.

    With the explosion of interest and profitability of Internet marketing, high quality descriptive domains have become a rare commodity, and as with anything rare, a market has developed to offer these assets for resale in a secondary exchange.

    "The domain name market is about to undergo its greatest change since Tucows entered as the first true wholesaler in 1999," said Elliot Noss, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tucows Inc. "The addition of Premium Domains will be important for our service provider customers who excel at servicing small and medium-sized businesses, those most likely to benefit from Premium Domains. By redefining the domain search process to include names from the aftermarket, it makes it possible for people to find that perfect domain name."

    Premium names are not a new idea. They have been bought and sold for the last decade. However, what has been missing until now was a simple way to connect buyers with sellers in a seamless exchange that manages the transaction in real time. Tucows has changed the market by facilitating near-instant transfers via its wholesale network. This is the start of a new era for the domain name market.

    "In the past, when you wanted to transfer a domain from one registrant to another, the whole process could take days," said Adam Eisner, Product Manager for Domains, Tucows. "The real beauty of our Premium Domains service is that it gives our network of service providers a way to sell a large range of high-quality domains to their customers nearly instantly, as if they were new registrations."

    Tucows is partnering with AfternicDLS and Domain Distribution Network to enable a one-stop-shopping approach giving business users purchase access to over 600,000 premium names in a single search. Premium Domains from Tucows will also include selections from the Tucows domain portfolio.

    "As the world leader in secondary market domain names sales, NameMedia looks forward to providing Tucows customers with an unmatched breadth of domain quality and choice," said Peter Lamson, senior vice president and general manager of NameMedia's domain name marketplace. "AfternicDLS members will also benefit as we continue to expand the distribution channels for our Domain Listing Service, giving domain sellers an easy choice for where to list their names to get the best exposure to potential buyers."

    The Domain Distribution Network believes partnering with Tucows is a winning proposition. "We're very excited to be working with Tucows," said Dan Warner, Chief Strategy Officer of Fabulous.com. "Their extensive network of resellers provides domain owners access to an untapped market of people who traditionally didn't have the capability to buy many domains which had been 'off the market.'"

    Visit http://services.tucows.com/services/domains/ for more information.

    Elliot Noss will be discussing the domain name economy as part of a panel discussion, "Dark Matter: Are We Missing the Real Internet Economy?" on Thursday June 21, 2007 at Supernova 2007 in San Francisco, CA.

    About Domain Distribution Network (DDN)

    The Domain Distribution Network is an essential aftermarket domain distribution service. It acts as the centralized source of domain "stock" for high quality registrars and other high profile resellers. The domain stock consists of high quality generic domains that are highly suited for small to medium enterprise businesses. DDN doesn't compete with registrars. It acts as a technology partner to allow registrars a clean and efficient means to monitor, maintain, and transact in the complex aftermarket channel of the domain space.

    Through the Domain Distribution Technology, registrars enable users to purchase and control a domain within a matter of seconds by utilizing a safe and efficient streamlined sales and transfer process. DDN offers registrars a means to authenticate ownership of domains; allows open communication with a wide community of domain owners and other registrars in real time; and prevents fraud and trademark abuse. DDN has become the stock exchange technology servicing the aftermarket domain channel.

    JERICHO, N.Y., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Optimum Lightpath, the next- generation business broadband service provider of Cablevision Systems Corporation , today announced that more than 50 percent of hospitals in the New York metropolitan area are now using Optimum Lightpath for high capacity and high bandwidth integrated IP data, Internet and voice solutions.

    Healthcare providers today are demanding innovative and cost effective communications solutions that can deliver the bandwidth intensive applications their networks require. Delivered over a 100 percent fully fiber optic network, Optimum Lightpath's Metro Ethernet service is enabling area healthcare providers to deliver mission critical and data intensive applications including diagnostic imaging, Electronic Medial Records (EMR) and Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS), as well as to support business continuity and disaster recovery platforms.

    "We were looking for an advanced network infrastructure that could grow to support all of our data, Internet, voice and video needs for the foreseeable future. We found that Optimum Lightpath's Metro Ethernet service provided a solution that satisfied the key performance criteria we were looking for in terms of resiliency, scalability and availability," said John L. Bosco, vice president and chief technology officer (CTO) of North Shore-LIJ -- the nation's third largest, non-profit, secular healthcare system. "The network upgrade is meant to power all the new applications that we're rolling out to enhance our patients' quality of care."

    During the past year, Optimum Lightpath experienced dynamic growth in the healthcare sector with new customer acquisition growing by more than 300 percent.

    "Recent advances in electronic delivery systems and clinical treatment technologies are driving the demand for extreme bandwidth, speed and security needs in the healthcare market," said Dave Pistacchio, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Optimum Lightpath. "The momentum and growth that Optimum Lightpath is experiencing as a trusted provider to this critical market clearly demonstrate that our Metro Ethernet offering is ideally positioned to meet these needs. Our service provides significant gains in productivity and cost savings, while enabling mission critical applications and deployments."

    Leading healthcare providers in the tri-state area using Optimum Lightpath's Metro Ethernet services include:

    -- North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System, Great Neck, NY -- Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY -- Winthrop University Hospital, Mineola, NY -- Saint Clare's Health System, Morris County, NJ -- Holy Name Hospital, Teaneck, NJ -- St. Barnabas Hospital, Bronx, NY

    Saint Clare's Health System, an award-winning, full-service healthcare provider with headquarters in Morris County, NJ saw that Optimum Lightpath could meet the hospital's need for more speed and capacity due to a PACS imaging system deployment at its campuses in Denville and Dover. Saint Clare's is using Optimum Lightpath's point-to-point Gigabit Ethernet service to connect more than 3,000 users. In addition, Optimum Lightpath's redundant and resilient fiber-optic network is enabling Saint Clare's to gain business continuity benefits, so that critical patient records are always accessible to doctors and technicians in the event of a disruption.

    "Many of the newest clinical applications, such as those related to imaging, are highly data-intensive. Clearly, the previous 45 Mbps connections we had did not cut the mustard," said Richard Temple, chief information officer, Saint Clare's Health System. "Our upgrade to Optimum Lightpath's Gigabit Ethernet service is helping our doctors and technicians deliver better patient care, plain and simple."

    In addition to full-service hospitals and healthcare systems, ancillary outpatient care providers, particularly those that specialize in diagnostic imaging technologies (i.e., MRI, CT, PET Ultrasound, Mammography, and Nuclear Medicine) have also turned to Optimum Lightpath's Metro Ethernet services during the last year.

    The healthcare industry has become one of the fastest-growing markets for information technology (IT) and telecommunications services. According to Insight Research Corporation ( http://www.insight-corp.com/ ), the U.S healthcare telecommunications services market is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4 percent, from $6.3 billion in 2006 to $8.1 billion in 2011. This growth is driven by the need for advanced, data-intensive applications such as computerized x-ray systems, PACS, electronic medical record systems and PET imaging (or PET scanning) solutions, which demand exponentially higher bandwidth, speed and capacity in the network.

    Stratégie industrielle d'Oberthur Card Systems

    PARIS, June 19 /PRNewswire/ --

    - Réorganisation industrielle aux Etats-Unis et en France

    Oberthur Card Systems a annoncé un projet de réorganisation de ses sites industriels.

    La société, comme l'ensemble de ses concurrents, est confrontée sur tous les segments de marché de la carte à puce à un environnement concurrentiel difficile, avec une forte dégradation des prix et de la profitabilité.

    Dans la continuité des efforts entrepris depuis plusieurs années, Oberthur Card Systems a vocation à s'organiser en grands centres dans chaque région pour réaliser des économies d'échelle, tout en maintenant la proximité géographique avec ses clients.

    Dans ce contexte, aux Etats-Unis, les centres de personnalisation de cartes à puces seront regroupés en deux centres au lieu de trois. Les activités du site de Napperville (Illinois), qui emploie 124 personnes, seront transférées sur les sites de Los Angeles (Californie) et Chantilly (Virginie).

    Par ailleurs, pour maintenir durablement une production en France, Oberthur Card Systems projette la mise en oeuvre d'un plan de réorganisation industrielle :

    - la production, aujourd'hui à Caen, de cartes sim à forte valeur ajoutée et le façonnage seraient maintenus en France et regroupés avec la fabrication de cartes bancaires sur le seul site de Vitré,

    - la production des cartes sim à faible valeur ajoutée serait réalisée par les sites existants hors d'Europe.

    Ce projet va faire l'objet d'une consultation des instances représentatives du personnel de la société.

    En France, comme aux Etats-Unis, Oberthur Card Systems s'engagera à mettre en oeuvre de nombreuses mesures pour favoriser la mobilité géographique ou professionnelle de ses salariés.

    En particulier, chacun des 163 salariés de Caen se verra proposer au minimum un emploi à Vitré ou ailleurs au sein du groupe.

    Oberthur Card Systems a fait le choix de maintenir une production en France et aux Etats-Unis. La société est confiante que cette réorganisation industrielle contribuerait de manière significative à la sauvegarde de sa compétitivité et au renforcement du niveau de service offert à ses clients partout dans le monde.

    A propos d'Oberthur Card Systems

    Oberthur Card Systems est un des tout premiers fournisseurs mondiaux de solutions à base de cartes à puces, de logiciels et applications incluant les cartes SIM, les cartes multi-applicatives, ainsi que de services allant du conseil à la personnalisation.

    Son offre de produits innovante, son expertise dans la sécurité et le niveau élevé de qualité de ses services lui assurent des positions fortes sur ses principaux marchés :

    - Paiement et Services : 47 % du chiffre d'affaires en 2006. Leader mondial et premier fournisseur de cartes de paiement Visa et MasterCard.

    - Téléphonie mobile : 37 % du chiffre d'affaires en 2006, avec un éventail de solutions ouvertes et inter-opérables basée sur la technologie Java(TM).

    - Identité : positionnement solide sur un grand nombre de projets à travers le monde.

    - Multimédia : leader sur le marché de la télévision à péage avec une expertise sur l'ensemble de la chaîne de valeur : développement logiciel, encartage et personnalisation.

    - Transport : positionné sur le segment haut de gamme, avec une offre de cartes à microprocesseur.

    Proche de ses clients, Oberthur Card Systems bénéficie d'une présence industrielle et commerciale sur les cinq continents. Oberthur Card Systems, cotée au premier marché d'Euronext (ISIN : FR0000124133) depuis juillet 2000, est une filiale du Groupe François-Charles Oberthur.

    RadiSys Introduces MicroTCA Development KitJoint Solution with CorEdge Networks, Arrow Electronics allows telecom equipment manufacturers to develop network elements for Edge/access, WiMAX markets

    CHICAGO, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RadiSys Corporation , a leading global provider of advanced embedded solutions, announced today the introduction of a MicroTCA platform development kit aimed at helping telecommunications equipment manufacturers (TEMs) develop network elements geared toward a smaller and more cost effective form factor than existing products. RadiSys will work closely with CorEdge Networks and the North American Components (NAC) business of Arrow Electronics, Inc. in delivering this complete MicroTCA solution.

    Taking advantage of the same Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) from RadiSys that are used for AdvancedTCA solutions, TEMs can now address MicroTCA-based network element requirements for the access market while achieving wire-speed packet processing needs. The RadiSys Promentum(R) SYS-3005DK MicroTCA Development Kit is the company's latest solution to take advantage of OCTEON(TM) processors from Cavium Networks. The kit provides high density Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with sophisticated dataplane hardware acceleration, and helps equipment manufacturers reduce research and development costs while accelerating the introduction of high performance products.

    "As TEMs continue to look more closely at the MicroTCA form factor, they quickly see that it provides a flexible approach to building network elements that address a unique set of price and performance needs," said Anthony Ambrose, vice president and general manager of communications networks, RadiSys. "The proven ATCA form factor is serving the industry well, but many TEMs require an architecture with lower compute density and reduced power requirements. Certainly not meant to replace ATCA, but instead complement it, MicroTCA in many cases is a more appropriate approach for access-side telecom nodes such as WiMAX base stations, digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAMs) and low-end media gateways."

    CorEdge Networks will supply its industry leading MicroTCA and PicoTCA infrastructure components that will complement AMCs from RadiSys. Specifically, CorEdge will supply its MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH), MicroTCA Power Module and PicoTCA 2UE chassis platform. The MicroTCA Carrier Hub is a single chip solution that enables integrated management and switching. The MCH's modular and upgradeable multi-module design permits developers to add a variety of different clocking schemes (GPS, telco and PCI-Express) and fabric modules (10GbE, SerialRapidIO and PCI-Express) to enable multiple applications.

    "Our collaboration with RadiSys represents an exciting step for telecommunications equipment manufacturers and system architects," said William Chu, President and Chief Marketing Officer, CorEdge Networks. "An affordable, efficient and scalable platform from CorEdge coupled with the proven track record that RadiSys brings to the table clearly provides a winning combination for developing applications."

    Arrow NAC will handle fulfillment and integration of the development kit. TEMs can order RadiSys MicroTCA products through Arrow NAC - a leading provider of semiconductors and passive, electromechanical and connector products, computing solutions, services and supply chain solutions.

    "We are excited about this opportunity to partner with RadiSys and CorEdge and leverage Arrow's extensive supply chain and integration capabilities. This collaborative approach will enable OEMS to easily adopt the MicroTCA standard while reducing time and improving cost to market," said Robert Behn, Vice President, Marketing, Arrow NAC.

    About SYS-3005DK

    The SYS-3005DK MicroTCA Development Kit includes a MicroTCA chassis with power module and a base MCH with options to extend fabric options. The development kit comes integrated with three RadiSys AMCs - AMC-8202 (MPC8641D PrAMC), AMC-7211 (Cavium OCTEON based Gigabit line AMC) and AMC-3202 (SAS Hard Disk AMC). These AMCs enable customers to develop key applications for multi- service access applications based on Ethernet. The development kit also includes software such as carrier grade OS and other data path software for IP Forwarding, IP Sec, IP Filtering and Load Balancing. The complete development kit enhances a customer's ability to address new applications in a variety of target markets including Edge/Access, Aero/Military and Campus Networks infrastructures.

    Panasonic Introduces New 10 Series Plasma Line at 2007 InfoComm

    ANAHEIM, Calif., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic Professional Display Company, a division of Panasonic Corporation of North America, the industry leader in professional/industrial Plasma displays, introduced its 2007 line of Plasmas today at InfoComm, the largest trade show of the professional audio visual industry.

    From the world's largest Plasma display, the critically acclaimed 103-inch model -recently awarded the 2007 Display of the Year Silver Award by the Society for Display Information - to the 37-inch Plasma and the newest addition to the line, the 58-inch Plasma, Panasonic boasts a deep, expansive line-up with a size and solution for every application. All of the new 10 series are high definition, with three models - TH-50PF9UK, TH-65PF9UK and the TH-103PF9UK - featuring superb 1080p image quality. The high definition line is completed by four displays that incorporate a resolution of 1366 x 768.

    According to Andrew Nelkin, president of the newly formed Panasonic Professional Display Company, "We created PPDC to put an even greater emphasis on the professional side of the flat panel business, led by our star, the 103- inch HD Plasma. Commercial flat panels are a strategically important part of our business and we intend to maintain and grow our leadership in both the professional and consumer markets."

    Panasonic's professional Plasma display panels have a wide range of applications. Due to Plasma's deep blacks, high contrast, beautiful color reproduction and high definition resolution, the 103-inch is perfectly suited for use in conferences and presentations with large audiences, board rooms, theater lobbies, trade shows, shopping malls, airports, hotels, sports stadiums and in TV studios. For example, the 103-inch is currently utilized on the set of CBS' "Early Show" and NBC's "Football Night in America." In addition, 103's have been installed in the newly renovated Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, the Borgata, Miami Dolphins Stadium, Pechanga Resort and Casino and the Hyatt in Chicago.

    Among the system solutions offered by the 2007 line is the ability to utilize a wireless presentation board. The user can mount a wireless presentation board to a conference display unit that allows wireless connection of up to eight displays and four PCs. Panasonic's Plasmas also feature the industry's best expandability. In addition to the fixed input interface, the displays have three interchangeable slots that let the user add different combinations of optional terminal boards. "This gives our customer the flexibility to add digital or analog capabilities, as necessary and to customize the system for their specific needs, another example of Panasonic's commitment to providing the best solution to our end user," added Nelkin.

    "Our new lineup is indicative of Panasonic's commitment to providing the broadest range of displays that deliver the crispest and clearest pictures available to meet the widest range of professional applications. The variety of applications is only limited by one's imagination," said Nelkin. "With brilliant images, deep colors and cutting edge technology that doesn't limit the line of sight, our Plasmas are perfect for digital signage and any location-application that calls for gorgeous images. Another advantage Panasonic has is that our Plasma panels are mercury and lead free."

    NextComputing Introduces Processor Modularity on its Family of Flextop Computers, featuring Next-Generation AMD Opteron(TM) Featured at NXTcomm 07, June 19-21

    NASHUA, N.H., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- NextComputing (http://www.nextcomputing.com/ ) announces an innovative design feature for its NextDimension computer line (http://www.nextcomputing.com/products/nextdim.shtml ): processor modularity. NextComputing carries the only line of mobile, completely modular computers on the market. The system will be on display at NXTcomm 07, June 19-21 in the AMD corporate booth (#6911) as well as in the UNH-IOL booth (#1226).

    The life of a typical mass-produced computer is about 3 years, many parts that are not upgradeable having become obsolete by then. NextComputing's modular line of flextops maximize upgrade opportunities, minimize cost, and use standardized, readily available components. Additionally, NextComputing is one of the only companies incorporating processor upgradeability as a part of the system's overall modular design.

    The addition of Next-Generation AMD Opteron(TM) Processors to the NextDimension family illuminates the convenience of processor upgradeability. As an open standards solution, these portable powerhouses can be configured in hundreds of combinations of memory, storage, and application specific I/O. The processor agnostic nature of the NextDimension series allows the system's processor module to be changed at any point without affecting the existing configuration.

    NextComputing (http://www.nextcomputing.com/ ) has closely followed the AMD Opteron(TM) processor roadmap since the inception of the first flextop computer, the NextDimension. Since then, the flexible nature of the growing family of flextops has adapted well to the evolution of Opteron.

    NextComputing is incorporating the AMD Opteron(TM) processor Model 2216 HE for Socket F (1207). Utilizing Next-Generation AMD Opteron(TM) processors makes the NextDimension family more capable of performing compute intensive applications, storing large amounts of critical data, and decreasing total cost of ownership. Incorporating energy-efficient DDR2 memory and improved, energy-saving AMD PowerNow! features, AMD's newest processors leverage proven technologies, adding further performance-per-watt advances and improved business capabilities by enhancing efficient dual-core advantages, low-power/high-bandwidth memory, AMD virtualization support, and quad-core ready Socket F (1207).

    "NextComputing's NextDimension Evo fills a void in the market, offering a portable high performance computing solution," said Pat Patla, Director, Server/Workstation Marketing, AMD . "The addition of Second- Generation AMD Opteron(TM) processors to an impressive roster of off the shelf components further validates the product as a unique, modular solution for applications which are particularly compute intensive."

    Unique to the NextDimension family (http://www.nextcomputing.com/products/nextdim.shtml ) is high performance portability combined with open standards architecture, and multiple I/O functionality. This feature combination creates the most flexible computing solutions available. From a high end graphics workstation to a portable high-throughput datastreaming appliance, there is a model to fit a multitude of applications that require either small form factor, portability, or both.

    "One of the key differentiating factors of the NextDimension family of flextops is flexibility. We feel we have reached the ultimate plateau in modularity with the ability to swap out processor modules regardless of configuration. Any configuration that has been available with the 940 socket Opteron processor is now available with Next-Generation AMD Opteron(TM) Processors. The same will be true once AMD announces Quad-Core Opteron, and when NextComputing announces all future processor options," explains Bob Labadini, President and CTO, NextComputing.

    Processor modularity (http://www.nextcomputing.com/advantages/openstandards.shtml ) will continue to be a convenience going forward as the company adds new processor offerings to the flextop lineup.

    NAVTEQ Announces Full Coverage Maps for Key Eastern/Central Europe CountriesMap of Road Network Now Available from Poland to Slovenia

    CHICAGO, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NAVTEQ , a leading global provider of digital map data for vehicle navigation and location-based solutions, has announced availability of full coverage maps for Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Slovenia, providing a road network map from the Baltic Sea in the North, southwest to the Adriatic Sea. These countries represent some of the fastest growing economies in the region with a combined population of over 67 million. With full coverage maps for these five countries, drivers will have access to over one million kilometers of road network.

    Thirty-seven city areas are covered at NAVTEQ's highest coverage level called Detailed Coverage. A cornerstone to NAVTEQ's accuracy, this means that all the roads in the area are included in the data set and that all the attributes associated with the road have been verified by geographic analysts.

    Cincinnati Insurance Increases Efficiency of Transactions with Its Independent Agencies- Agencies gain ability to upload data to commercial policy systems- CinciBridge(TM) works with Transformation Station, TransactNOW

    CINCINNATI, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cincinnati Financial Corporation -- The Cincinnati Insurance Company announced today that it has added technology to allow its local independent agencies to upload selected information directly from their agency management systems to e- CLAS(R), Cincinnati's system for processing dentist's and businessowners package policies. Cincinnati earlier this year added CinciBridge(TM) upload capability to its WinCPP(R) commercial rating system.

    "Our decision to offer this technology gives us another tool to further strengthen our agency relationships. CinciBridge makes it easier to do business with us, enhancing our ability to sustain industry-leading growth," said James E. Benoski, president and chief executive officer of The Cincinnati Insurance Company. "CinciBridge streamlines application submissions, saving time and reducing error due to duplicate entry. Agencies can leverage the information they've already entered in their agency management systems to submit applications and initiate commercial quotes, providing more efficient service. This frees their time to compete for business by providing prompt, personal and professional service."

    CinciBridge works with interactive services from the two major insurance agency management system vendors, Applied Systems, Inc. and AMS Services, Inc., to provide real-time policy rating and submission. To protect privacy, information is transferred by secure methods using the IVANS/Transformation Station network for Applied customers and the TransactNOW system for AMS users.

    Cincinnati is one of the first carriers in the industry to implement commercial lines bridging technology as promoted by the Agents Council for Technology and ACORD-User Groups Information Exchange. Both organizations advocate for real-time services, allowing independent agencies that represent multiple carriers to process policy transactions from the agency's client file.

    Cincinnati Financial Corporation offers property and casualty insurance, our main business, through The Cincinnati Insurance Company, The Cincinnati Indemnity Company and The Cincinnati Casualty Company. The Cincinnati Life Insurance Company markets life and disability income insurance and annuities. CFC Investment Company offers commercial leasing and financing services. CinFin Capital Management Company provides asset management services to institutions, corporations and individuals. For additional information about the company, please visit http://www.cinfin.com/

    This is our "Safe Harbor" statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our business is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements in this report. Some of those risks and uncertainties are discussed in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 1A, Risk Factors, Page 20. Although we often review or update our forward-looking statements when events warrant, we caution our readers that we undertake no obligation to do so.

    Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:

    -- Unusually high levels of catastrophe losses due to risk concentrations, changes in weather patterns, environmental events, terrorism incidents or other causes -- Increased frequency and/or severity of claims -- Inaccurate estimates or assumptions used for critical accounting estimates -- Events or actions, including unauthorized intentional circumvention of controls, that reduce the company's future ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002 -- Events or conditions that could weaken or harm the company's relationships with its independent agencies and hamper opportunities to add new agencies, resulting in limitations on the company's opportunities for growth, such as: -- Downgrade of the company's financial strength ratings, -- Concerns that doing business with the company is too difficult -- Perceptions that the company's level of service, particularly claims service, is no longer a distinguishing characteristic in the marketplace or -- Delays or inadequacies in the development, implementation, performance and benefits of technology projects and enhancements -- Ability to obtain adequate reinsurance on acceptable terms, amount of reinsurance purchased, financial strength of reinsurers and the potential for non-payment or delay in payment by reinsurers -- Increased competition that could result in a significant reduction in the company's premium growth rate -- Underwriting and pricing methods adopted by competitors that could allow them to identify and flexibly price risks, which could decrease our competitive advantages -- Actions of insurance departments, state attorneys general or other regulatory agencies that: -- Restrict our ability to exit or reduce writings of unprofitable coverages or lines of business -- Place the insurance industry under greater regulatory scrutiny or result in new statutes, rules and regulations -- Increase our expenses -- Add assessments for guaranty funds, other insurance related assessments or mandatory reinsurance arrangements; or that impair our ability to recover such assessments through future surcharges or other rate changes -- Limit our ability to set fair, adequate and reasonable rates -- Place us at a disadvantage in the marketplace or -- Restrict our ability to execute our business model, including the way we compensate agents -- Sustained decline in overall stock market values negatively affecting the company's equity portfolio and book value; in particular a sustained decline in the market value of Fifth Third Bancorp shares, a significant equity holding -- Recession or other economic conditions or regulatory, accounting or tax changes resulting in lower demand for insurance products -- Events that lead to a significant decline in the value of a particular security and impairment of the asset -- Prolonged low interest rate environment or other factors that limit the company's ability to generate growth in investment income or interest- rate fluctuations that result in declining values of fixed-maturity investments -- Adverse outcomes from litigation or administrative proceedings -- Investment activities or market value fluctuations that trigger restrictions applicable to the parent company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 -- Events, such as an epidemic, natural catastrophe or construction delays, that could hamper our ability to assemble our workforce at our headquarters location

    Further, the company's insurance businesses are subject to the effects of changing social, economic and regulatory environments. Public and regulatory initiatives have included efforts to adversely influence and restrict premium rates, restrict the ability to cancel policies, impose underwriting standards and expand overall regulation. The company also is subject to public and regulatory initiatives that can affect the market value for its common stock, such as recent measures affecting corporate financial reporting and governance. The ultimate changes and eventual effects, if any, of these initiatives are uncertain.

    Motorola Boosts Broadband Services Router BSR 64000 Capacity Five Fold With New DOCSIS 3.0 Decoupled Downstream Module TX32New Module Helps Enable Ultra-broadband as well as Helps Protect and Enhance Current BSR 64000 Router Investments by Working Seamlessly with Existing Modules

    ORLANDO, Fla., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc today introduced the ultra-broadband enabling Decoupled Downstream Module TX32 for the BSR 64000 (at the Society for Cable Engineers Cable-Tec Expo (Orlando Convention Center, June 20-22).

    The new TX32 module supports DOCSIS 3.0 channel bonding and helps provide the industry's highest density embedded downstream solution with each module supporting 32 QAM channels in a single slot within the fully redundant BSR 64000 router chassis. The downstream channels on the TX32 module can be coupled with the downstream and upstream channels on existing 2:8 CMTS modules to provide up to 138 downstream channels and up to five gigabits of aggregate downstream capacity in a single chassis. This advanced module supports new DOCSIS 3.0 as well as legacy DOCSIS 1.X and 2.0 cable modems and can support channel bonding and load balancing across TX32 and 2:8 module downstream channel configurations.

    As new social networking and multimedia Internet applications gain traction, consumer demand for bandwidth continues to rise. Motorola has developed a full suite of bandwidth expansion technologies to help cable operators meet that demand, and today's introduction of the TX32 module marks a giant leap forward in the race for cost-effective, higher-capacity broadband.

    "The new TX32 module will help allow cable operators to increase their broadband speed tiers dramatically and deliver high-bandwidth applications and converged IP services," said Kevin Keefe, vice president of marketing, Motorola Home and Networks Mobility. "It offers high density and functionality while simultaneously helping to decrease costs and protect operator investments in pre-DOCSIS 3.0 technology. The response from our customers to the TX32 module has been overwhelming, and we're looking forward to going to market with the product later this year."

    Because of its density, the Motorola TX32 module will decrease the cost per downstream channel by more than 60%. When added to a BSR 64000 router, the TX32 module provides functionality to every single installed card, helping to ensure that existing investments are protected and offering the lowest incremental cost for capacity additions. For more information on the TX32 module, which is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of this year, visit Motorola at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo, stand #1378.

    NEW YORK, June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- This Thanksgiving, a giant ogre flies in from Far Far Away and takes over Manhattan as Shrek(R) makes his grand debut flying high in the 81st Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade(R). Taking a break from his beloved swamp, Shrek will literally become larger-than-life as he transforms into a giant helium balloon in the famed holiday spectacular. On Thursday, November 22nd at 9:00am, fans will see the big green ogre flying down the streets of New York City for the first time delighting over 3.5 million spectators and more than 50 million television viewers nationwide. Shrek will not only help mark the start of the holiday season at the Parade, but he will also serve as Macy's Official Holiday Ambassador this year, with an exclusive plush toy available at all Macy's stores nationwide.

    The Shrek balloon designed by the magicians of the Macy's Parade Studio measures approximately 50 feet tall, 44 feet long and 35 feet wide. Dressed in his signature woodsman outfit complete with oatmeal sweater, plaid pants and brown vest, Shrek will be filled with over 10,000 cubic feet of helium for his trip down the Great White Way.

    As the official Macy's Holiday Ambassador, Shrek will help Macy's usher in the spirit of the season as a cute collectible plush toy, wearing a festive red vest, and uttering three custom phrases when his left foot is pressed. As a special bonus, Shrek will be accompanied for his holiday duties by best pals, Donkey and Puss In Boots, who come along for the ride as highly detailed 3-D plush finger puppets. The Shrek Macy's holiday plush will be available beginning November 1st at all Macy's locations nationwide and on macys.com. Fans can purchase Shrek for $14.95 with any purchase of $35 or more.

    Shrek's first ever participation in the Parade will coincide with the DVD release this holiday season of "Shrek the Third," the latest installment from DreamWorks Animation, which enjoyed a record-breaking bow in theaters last month as the largest opening ever for an animated film and continues to delight moviegoers in its current global run.

    "Shrek is a new American icon," says Robin Hall, Executive Producer of Macy's Parade. "There's never been a character like Shrek, and I think it's safe to say there's never been a Macy's Parade balloon quite like Shrek, either," he continued. "All of us at Macy's Parade are totally immersed in 'Project Shrek,' and we're thrilled to be working with the team from DreamWorks Animation in the creation of this new Parade classic."

    DreamWorks Animation's Head of Worldwide Marketing & Consumer Products Anne Globe stated, "We're honored to be a part of this great holiday tradition, and doubly proud to be represented by our most recognizable personality, Shrek. People have grown to love Shrek around the world, and this parade gives his fans a unique opportunity to see their favorite ogre in a whole new way."

    The 81st annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade steps off on Thursday, November 22nd, 2007 and is broadcast live nationally on NBC-TV, from 9am to 12pm in all time zones.

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

    FOSTER, R.I., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Providence County, Verizon Wireless, operator of the nation's most reliable wireless network, has expanded its network with a new cell site. The new site increases coverage and capacity along Routes 6 and 94, as well as the Town of Foster 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.
