Lockheed Martin Team Achieves Major Milestone on U.S. Navy's Mobile User Objective SystemFirst satellite on schedule for on-orbit hand over in 2010

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin has achieved a key milestone in the development of the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) with the successful completion of static loads testing of the first satellite in the program constellation. MUOS will provide significantly improved and assured communications for U.S. mobile warfighters.

The test, which validated the satellite's strength and ability to sustain its launch weight of over 13,000 pounds, was conducted by a team of engineers from Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Newtown, Pa., and ATK, Corona, Calif. The successful test demonstrated with high confidence that the structure can carry the physical loads it will experience during the satellite's manufacturing, launch and operation in geosynchronous orbit.

MUOS satellites will be the largest of Lockheed Martin's flight-proven A2100 spacecraft series. The first MUOS satellite along with the associated ground system are scheduled for on-orbit hand over to the Navy in 2010.

"Successful completion of this critical test is testimony to the team's commitment to successful, on-schedule program execution for our customer," said Paul Scearce, Lockheed Martin's vice president and MUOS program manager. "MUOS spacecraft will deliver significantly improved connectivity and we look forward to providing this new capability to the mobile warfighter."

The team is now preparing to deliver the spacecraft core structure to Lockheed Martin's Mississippi Space & Technology Center at the John C. Stennis Space Center, while the panels and other components will be shipped to the company's facilities in Newtown for the start of payload integration. The MUOS core propulsion structure and the integrated payload module are scheduled for delivery to Sunnyvale later this year for the start of final assembly, integration and test.

Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Sunnyvale, Calif., prime contractor and systems engineering lead for the MUOS program, is under contract to design, build and deploy the first two MUOS satellites and the associated MUOS ground system. The Navy's Program Executive Office for Space Systems, Chantilly, Va., and its Communications Satellite Program Office, San Diego, Calif., are responsible for the MUOS program. The contract also provides for options on three additional spacecraft. With all options exercised, the contract for up to five satellites has a total potential value of $3.26 billion.

The Lockheed Martin MUOS team, which includes General Dynamics C4 Systems, Scottsdale, Ariz.; and Boeing Satellite Systems, El Segundo, Calif.; has been given the green light by the U.S. Navy and the DoD to proceed with follow-on MUOS spacecraft.

MUOS will provide significantly improved and assured communications for U.S. mobile warfighters. The Lockheed Martin design features state-of-the art third generation (3G) mobile technology that will deliver simultaneous voice and data services, as well as the ability to increase capacity and features over the life of the program.

Users of the current Ultra High Frequency Follow-On system will have improved service and complete interoperability with the MUOS legacy payload which ensures a smooth transition to the next generation of 3G mobile user equipment.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation reported 2007 sales of $41.9 billion.

CIBER Begins Information Technology Project With Connecticut Department of Environmental ProtectionTo Build and Implement a Web-Based Air Emissions Inventory System

HARTFORD, Conn., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CIBER, Inc. today announced that it was awarded a $2 million, six-year contract in January with the state of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to implement a Web-based Air Emissions Inventory System to help the state monitor and manage pollutants regulated under the U.S. Clean Air Act. The new system will replace a custom-built IT system that relies on older technology and that has been in use at the department for many years. The new system will offer the advantages of updated technology, and will automate numerous manual, paper-based data collection processes.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010927/CBRLOGO)

The attention on global climate change and evolving federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations are putting greater pressure on all states to more efficiently and cost effectively monitor and report on environmental concerns. The air quality solutions that CIBER develops for states help streamline processes, reduce costs, and increase regulatory compliance and visibility.

For Connecticut, CIBER will provide project management, analysis, design, development, and implementation services. Connecticut's new Air Emissions Inventory System will be based on one that CIBER built and implemented at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the third largest air quality program in the nation. Using Microsoft .NET technology, the system offers a greenhouse gas inventory system and comprehensive reporting of industrial, area, and mobile emissions.

The new system provides a comprehensive inventory that will integrate with the department's existing IT system, as well as with the federal EPA's IT systems. It will support public inquiries -- via the Internet -- into emissions data, and offers flexibility and scalability so it can evolve with the department's programs and changing state and federal regulations.

"Our ten years of experience helping the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection have shown us the challenges and intricacies that state environmental agencies face in this area," said Ed Burns, President of CIBER's State and Local Government Division. "Managing environmental data and relationships with regulated facilities -- such as utilities and manufacturing plants -- is a big challenge for any state, and even more challenging with budget cuts and changing regulations. We're honored that CIBER was recognized as a leader in this area, and have been trusted with Connecticut's important environmental mission."

ATK and Ad Astra Rocket Company Sign Technology Development Alliance

HOUSTON, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On March 17, Alliant Techsystems and the Ad Astra Rocket Company of Houston, Texas signed and executed a Technology Development Alliance designed to strengthen the market presence of the two companies and explore future in-space propulsion systems for lunar and planetary missions.

The new alliance will explore how the respective skill sets and capabilities of each company can work together to deliver customer solutions that neither could accomplish on their own. ATK is an industry leader in the production and integration of advanced launch systems and solid rocket motors while Ad Astra specializes in advanced plasma propulsion technologies for operation in the vacuum of outer space. The agreement recognizes that a synergistic coupling of the companies' existing and emerging expertise would result in a stronger, more competitive end-to-end solution to customer needs and requirements in the rapidly evolving commercial and civil space markets.

The agreement will facilitate the sharing of sufficient cost, technical and programmatic information in order to assess the teaming advantages that may present themselves on future launch vehicle and rocket propulsion projects.

"This relationship opens many exciting opportunities that could be addressed through our combined skill sets. We look forward to developing them to their full potential," said Franklin R. Chang Diaz, Ad Astra's Chairman and CEO.

"We see this as a natural extension of ATK's efforts, and a critical link to bridge the gap between existing high-thrust, low-specific impulse propulsion systems and low-thrust, high-specific impulse systems to meet a variety of applications," said Charles J. Precourt, Vice President for Strategy and Business Development for ATK Launch Systems.

About ATK

ATK is an advanced space systems company with annual revenues in excess of $4.1 billion that employs more than 17,000 people in 21 states.

End-of-Life Military Planes to Be Sold as Shredded Scrap on www.Govliquidation.com27 Million Pounds of Ferrous and Nonferrous Metals Marks Largest Online Scrap Auction

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- In its largest auction to date, Government Liquidation is helping to clear some space in the "boneyard" on Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, AZ, the final resting spot for over 4,200 decommissioned military aircraft. After serving their time with the United States Department of Defense (DOD), aircrafts such as C-141 Starlifters, A-4 Skyhawks, S-3 Vikings, T-34 trainers and "Jolly Green Giant" helicopters are being sold for their base materials in the form of 27 million pounds of ferrous and nonferrous scrap metal. Beginning on April 21, 2008, Government Liquidation will be accepting bids on these end-of-life aircraft through its online auction marketplace, http://www.govliquidation.com/.

The boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base provides a unique savings account from which U.S. military units throughout the world may withdraw functional aircraft, parts or equipment. After non-functional, end-of-life aircraft have been stripped of all components, they turn into revenue generators for the DOD as they are sold for their scrap metal content.

This 27 million pound scrap sale consists of aircraft parts such as wings, wheels and hulls and includes scrap materials such as aluminum, steel, magnesium, titanium and rubber. Through its profit sharing arrangement with the DOD, Government Liquidation will return 77% of the net sales proceeds to the government.

Government Liquidation is the innovative online marketplace for the sale of surplus and scrap on behalf of the U.S. government. This unique site enables buyers to purchase government assets ranging from outdoor gear, genuine Hummer vehicle parts, office equipment, and medical and dental equipment to musical instruments, rare items and the occasional retired ceremonial mount, from more than 206 locations across the country.

Government Liquidation earned the exclusive contract with Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) for the sale of surplus and scrap assets of the DOD in 2001 and continues to move thousands of surplus items and scrap materials daily through its convenient and accessible Internet auction site.

"In addition to scrap term contracts, Government Liquidation offers a host of other items. All other bids, no matter the item, begin at $50.00," explains Tom Burton, President of Government Liquidation. "The market demand determines the final selling price."

Building Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Performance Data Brought to You by Siemens Building TechnologiesGreenTouchscreen reveals sustainability concepts and their relation to energy use in buildings

BUFFALO GROVE, Ill., March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- In its raw form building energy consumption data is not likely to reveal much to building owners, occupants or others about its impact on the environment. Connecting the dots from energy use in buildings to more sophisticated ideas like sustainability require analytical skills that not everyone possesses. To help more people understand and apply these concepts, Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. now offers a powerful interactive tool that analyzes building energy consumption data in real time.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070904/SIEMENSLOGO )

Through sophisticated integration to Siemens APOGEE(R) building automation system, the GreenTouchscreen(R) from Quality Attributes Software, Inc., (QAS) translates numerical building operational data into visual information that helps even the casual observer understand a variety of energy and sustainability related concepts.

By presenting building energy consumption data on an interactive touchscreen housed in a kiosk in a building's foyer or mounted on an accessible wall in a public space, Siemens can reveal the impact of energy efficiency measures and behavioral changes to anyone encountering the interface. Similarly, the interface can be transmitted via the web making it available in classrooms or other learning environments. The immediacy and accessibility of this information can help people understand the role they can play in saving energy in the spaces where they work, live, play or learn. With this kind of information people are better equipped to understand the relevance of their choices and change their behavior.

"Most organizations, whether they are public or private, want to provide stakeholders with better information on their sustainability and green efforts," said Siemens Building Technologies' Richard Walker, senior national manager - Environmental Solutions. "GreenTouchscreen offers us the ability to not only provide information on energy use and climate implications, but also on a broad variety of internal initiatives," he added.

GreenTouchscreen(R) technology, developed by QAS illustrates sustainability concepts by showing how much energy a building is currently using, how much it has saved over time and what that savings means in greenhouse gasses kept from the atmosphere, pounds of coal left unburned or even hours of playing X-Box.

The GreenTouchscreen will also play a key role in Siemens' Building Education program (an initiative that, among other things, is introducing green engineering and sustainability curricula to schools across the country). Siemens has plans to install these screens in schools to help expose students and educators to this exciting information and use it to inform themselves about their school's energy use and its impact on their local environment. Next fall for example, students attending the Henry Ford Learning Academy's Power House High (now currently under construction) will be able to attend classes with instruction guided by Siemens curricula and supported by the GreenTouchscreen displays.

As a leading provider of energy and environmental solutions, building controls, fire safety and security systems solutions, Siemens Building Technologies, Inc., makes buildings comfortable, safe, secure and less costly to operate. With U.S. headquarters in Buffalo Grove, Ill., Siemens Building Technologies employs 7,200 people and provides a full range of services and solutions from more than 100 locations coast-to-coast. Worldwide, the company has 28,000 employees and operates from more than 500 locations in 51 countries.

Verizon Wireless Expands Wireless Broadband Network to Union Pier, Bridgman, Benton Harbor, Coloma and Other Michigan CommunitiesHigh-Speed Network Gives Verizon Wireless Customers Access to Fast Wireless Internet, Email, Mobile Music, Videos and More

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless announced today that it has expanded the national rollout of its high-speed wireless network to Union Pier, Bridgman, Benton Harbor, Coloma and a number of other Michigan communities along Interstate 94 and State Highway 63, which connect these cities. The expansion includes the following areas:

-- Along the I-94 corridor as far south as State Highway 12, including portions of New Buffalo, and as far north as State Highway 140 in Watervliet. -- Along State Highway 63, covering the route between St. Joseph and Benton Harbor to Lake Michigan Beach. -- Along I-196 as far south as Interstate 94 and as far north as Hagar Shore Road in Lake Michigan Beach. -- Other towns located within the coverage area include Lakeside, Harbert, Sawyer, Shoreham, Stevensville, Fair Plain and Benton Heights, among others.

"These Michigan communities represent vital markets with dynamic, tech- savvy business people, residents and tourists who want to stay connected," said Greg Haller, president-Michigan/Indiana/Kentucky Region, Verizon Wireless. "The launch of our broadband network here provides our customers with access to the very latest wireless technology."

With the wireless broadband network now available in Michigan's most populated markets, Verizon Wireless customers in the area now enjoy two prime services:

-- BroadbandAccess, the enhanced high-speed wireless service that equips Verizon Wireless' business customers with a truly untethered mobile office experience, enabling them to wirelessly access their calendars, the Internet, email and critical business information residing behind their companies' firewalls; and -- V CAST, a consumer-oriented multimedia service that gives customers access to the most comprehensive selection of downloadable music, high- quality videos and the coolest 3D games found anywhere. BroadbandAccess

Based on Evolution-Data Optimized Revision A (EV-DO Rev. A) network technology, BroadbandAccess provides mobile workers with the ability to access their corporate information as if they were attached to this data via a high- speed wired connection but with the freedom of true mobility. Developed with a range of users in mind, the service enables large enterprises, small to medium-sized businesses and mobile professionals to conduct business anytime, anywhere in the BroadbandAccess coverage area via a secure, true high-speed data connection.

With BroadbandAccess, business customers, residents and visitors to these Michigan communities can expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500 kbps to 800 kbps. That means they can download a 1 megabyte email attachment -- the equivalent of a small PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file -- in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.

BroadbandAccess also enables Verizon Wireless customers to download files approximately 10 times faster than customers of wireless service providers that use different broadly deployed network technologies. Furthermore, customers who travel outside the enhanced BroadbandAccess coverage area with an EV-DO device will switch seamlessly to the company's NationalAccess service.

"Our enhanced BroadbandAccess service gives our customers three key advantages in wireless communication -- speed, mobility and security," Haller said. "With these advantages comes an increase in productivity and bottom-line business benefits."

V CAST: Video and Music

Verizon Wireless' wireless broadband network also enables its V CAST multimedia services, which offer customers the ability to download full-song tracks, play cutting-edge 3D games and stream video clips straight to the handset with top transmission speeds. With content updated daily, customers can watch dozens of on-demand videos, including breaking news, weather updates, sports highlights and the hottest entertainment clips.

With V CAST Music, Verizon Wireless has built a massive full-song mobile music store that contains more than 2.8 million songs -- from well-known as well as independent artists -- that customers can download over-the-air, directly onto their V CAST Music-enabled wireless phones.

Investment

The multi-million dollar expansion includes the installation of high-tech wireless hardware and software in wireless transmission sites throughout the region. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $44 billion since it was formed -- more than $5.5 billion on average every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. More than $1 billion of this investment was spent in Michigan since 2001. In 2007, the company invested more than $145 million in Michigan network improvements.

Verizon Wireless was the first national wireless provider to commercially launch a high-speed wireless broadband network in the United States. These communities in Michigan are the latest market to be added to the coverage.

Raytheon Awarded $17.8 Million for NATO SEASPARROW Surface Missile System

TEWKSBURY, Mass., March 26, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company has been awarded a $17.8 million contract from the U.S. Navy and the NATO SEASPARROW Project Office for the company's MK57, MK29 and MK73 NATO SEASPARROW missile systems.

Under the contract, Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) will assemble, test, and deliver components and support for the systems, which enable critical self-defense capabilities for U.S. and allied navy surface ships.

The MK57 NATO SEASPARROW Surface Missile System (NSSMS) is the primary self-defense weapons system installed on U.S. naval aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships. As the solutions provider and Mission Systems Integrator for the MK57 NSSMS, Raytheon IDS provides the hardware and processing required for launch and control of the U.S. Navy's SEASPARROW and Evolved SEASPARROW (ESSM) self-defense missiles. Raytheon Missile Systems leads the cooperative development efforts for ESSM.

"The MK57 NSSMS is an advanced and affordable solution that our warfighters can depend on," said Raytheon IDS' Charles "Tom" Bush, vice president of Seapower Capability Systems. "We've worked very hard to ensure that we are delivering the most effective solution that accomplishes the mission the first time and every time."

The upgraded MK57 NSSMS integrates commercial off-the-shelf hardware for processing and displays, state-of-the-art microprocessors for signal processing, and new solid-state transmitter technology. The result is an open system that integrates seamlessly with IDS' Ship Self Defense System, optimizing the detect-to-engage capabilities with the advanced ESSM.

The contract includes the procurement, assembly, testing and delivery of ordnance alteration kits for the MK57 Mod 13 NSSMS, MK29 Mod 4 launcher and MK73 Mod 3 solid-state transmitter. Raytheon IDS will also provide associated spares and data for the systems.

Work will be performed at Raytheon's Seapower Capability Center, Portsmouth, R.I., and Integrated Air Defense Center, Andover, Mass.; Raytheon Canada Ltd., Waterloo, Canada; Miller Stuart Inc., Long Island, N.Y.; and Kuchera Defense Systems, Windber, Pa.

Changes made on U.S. naval aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships are due, in part, to accommodate the replacement of the RIM-7 SEASPARROW missile as a primary self-defense weapon with the ESSM (RIM-162) on these ships. The Canadian Navy, also transitioning to the ESSM on its Halifax-class of ships, plans to make changes to its supporting sensor systems as part of its Halifax Modernization Program. Raytheon is part of a team, led by General Dynamics Canada, currently competing for that project.

Integrated Defense Systems is Raytheon's leader in Joint Battlespace Integration providing affordable, integrated solutions to a broad international and domestic customer base, including the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, the U.S. Armed Forces and the Department of Homeland Security.

Raytheon Company, with 2007 sales of $21.3 billion, is a technology leader specializing in defense, homeland security and other government markets throughout the world. With a history of innovation spanning more than 85 years, Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing; effects; and command, control, communications and intelligence systems, as well as a broad range of mission support services. With headquarters in Waltham, Mass., Raytheon employs 72,000 people worldwide.

AT&T Announces Grant to Center on Aging-University of Miami Miller School of MedicineResearchers Strive to Help Caregivers of Dementia Patients Through Grant

MIAMI, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. today announced a $49,993 grant to the Center on Aging-University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The funding will be used to examine a computer-integrated system for family caregivers of dementia patients.

Currently, about 9 million adults in the nation provide care to someone suffering from dementia who is 50 years or older. Caring for an individual with dementia is often a very stressful experience for the responsible loved ones and is known to contribute to psychiatric and physical morbidities.

"We're working hard to develop innovative programs to help family members care for their relatives with Alzheimer's disease," said Sara Czaja, Ph.D., co-director of the Center on Aging. "The trend now is to keep patients in their homes instead of sending them to long-term care facilities."

The burden of informal care-giving for family members will grow in the coming years because the number of individuals with dementia is expected to increases to as many as 16 million by 2050.

"With the coming of age of the baby boomers, innovative uses of technology to lessen the strain on caregivers will increasingly become more critical in the care of loved ones," said Marshall Criser III, president of AT&T Florida. "AT&T's support of Dr. Czaja's study will help identify meaningful tools to improve the quality of life for caregivers and provide a positive result to the people in their care."

The intervention method is being delivered through a video telephone system and Internet hookup designed to:

-- Provide caregivers with access to information about dementia, care-giving and community resources. -- Enhance knowledge and care-giving skills. -- Enhance social support. -- Reduce barriers between caregivers and health care professionals.

The study will take place throughout a five-month period and will include six individual skill-building sessions, five support group sessions and five educational broadcast lectures by the university. Diversity is a key element to the study; participants will include 162 African-American, Hispanic and Haitian family caregivers of dementia patients.

Researchers expect that the caregivers who receive the intervention will experience a reduction in depressive symptoms and the burdens they feel, as well as benefit from an enhanced quality of life. Furthermore, they will have greater knowledge of the available community resources and advanced social support systems, as well as engage in more self-care activities. The computer-based system will help caregivers link to other family members, such as children who live in distant locations. If proved successful, the intervention program could be implemented in communities throughout the United States.

Airvana Spotlights CDMA Femtocell Leadership at CTIA Wireless 2008Airvana and Partners Demonstrate HubBub(TM) CDMA Femtocells and Universal Access Gateway Technologies as part of comprehensive Fixed Mobile Convergence solutions

CHELMSFORD, Mass., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Airvana, Inc. , the company transforming the mobile experience, will showcase its comprehensive solutions for fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) at CTIA Wireless 2008 (Booth 3321), taking place April 1-3, 2008 in Las Vegas, NV. In live demonstrations, the company is highlighting the HubBub(TM) CDMA femtocell, the only femtocell to support both 1x-RTT and EV-DO services; the Universal Access Gateway (UAG), a convergence gateway for innovative femtocell or Wi-Fi-enabled FMC services; and the Femto Service Manager, which provides standards-based, highly scalable management and auto-configuration capabilities for femtocell deployments.

According to the CDMA Development Group (CDG), the number of CDMA subscribers exceeded 431 million globally at the close of 2007, a year-over- year increase of nearly 15 percent, and femtocells are expected to play a key role in CDMA network growth. Airvana offers the most comprehensive femtocell solution for CDMA networks, with in-home femtocells and a femto network gateway as well as the software to accelerate and scale deployments through automated configuration and remote management. In addition, Airvana's HubBub femtocell supports up to six concurrent users, features powerful RF interference mitigation capabilities, has a software-defined feature set to enable remote provisioning of new services, and is the only CDMA femtocell that supports both 1x-RTT and EV-DO. Based on these factors, Airvana's HubBub CDMA femtocell has been named a CTIA Emerging Technology Award finalist.

Another key factor in successful femtocell deployments is multi-vendor interoperability and the ability to leverage existing network investments, so Airvana is working closely with leading CDMA equipment manufacturers to provide operators with femtocell and gateway technologies optimized to work with their existing core mobile network infrastructures. To that end, Airvana and Motorola recently announced that the two companies have entered into an OEM agreement for CDMA femtocells.

"The customer desire to use their mobile phone as their primary communications device, coupled with the rise in 3G services, is the driving force behind FMC. And to provide customers with the best FMC experience possible, you need to support both 1x-RTT and EV-DO services," said Dave Nowicki, vice president, Marketing, Airvana. "Our CDMA femtocells, which uniquely support both voice and mobile broadband services, and our advanced UAG technology, when paired with the core mobile network infrastructure of our partners, is a compelling solution for operators wishing to deliver FMC options that truly meet their subscribers' requirements for features and performance."

Airvana's macro network EV-DO technology is currently deployed in more than 40,000 base stations in networks covering nearly half a billion subscribers worldwide. The company has leveraged this extensive experience to deliver high performance femtocell solutions for CDMA networks, which include:

-- HubBub CDMA femtocell - Airvana's femtocell for CDMA networks supports both 1x-RTT and EV-DO services to deliver a consistent mobile experience that mirrors that of the macro network. HubBub can support up to six concurrent users and features powerful RF interference mitigation capabilities to help ensure graceful coexistence with the macro network. HubBub's software-defined feature set makes it efficient and cost-effective to add new services in response to customer demand. -- Femto Service Manager (FSM) - provides operators with a TR-069 standards-based, scalable management and auto-configuration platform for femtocell deployments. Airvana's FSM enables operators to manage femtocell deployments while leveraging their existing management infrastructure. The Airvana FSM allows operators to fully automate device configuration, initiate and manage remote software upgrades, perform remote diagnostics using collected fault and performance data, and easily handle device authentication. The FSM also incorporates an innovative Automated Network Planner (ANP) that generates a specific configuration per individual femtocell that maximizes RF performance. -- Universal Access Gateway - a purpose-built convergence gateway designed to address the unique security, mobility and performance challenges that result from mobile operators using the Internet as an extension of the radio access network. Airvana's UAG can be used to support both femtocell and Wi-Fi generated traffic. This traffic is sent over the Internet in a secure tunnel to the UAG, which authenticates and inspects the traffic before sending it to the mobile operator's network. As subscribers move between their home or office and the macro cellular network, the UAG maintains seamless mobility over a secure, QoS-enabled, wire-speed connection.

Airvana's CDMA femtocell solutions are currently in trials with mobile network operators and are expected to be commercially available in the second half of 2008.

Verizon Asks FCC to Remove Cable Industry Obstacle to Consumer Choice in Bundled Services MarketConsumers Must be Able to Choose New Cable Providers as Easily as Choosing New Telephone Providers

WASHINGTON, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Seeking to remove a significant obstacle to consumer choice and competition in the market for bundled communications services, Verizon today asked the Federal Communications Commission to require the cable industry to make it as easy for consumers to choose a new video provider as it already is for them to switch voice providers.

In a separate filing with the FCC earlier this week, Verizon said that the cable industry delays its customers' switches to competing voice providers by regularly failing to meet the commission's timing requirements for local number portability.

Currently, many cable companies refuse to accept video service cancellations from a new provider, creating extra work and confusion for consumers. However, long-established procedures enable a new provider to submit a voice disconnection order on behalf of the customer.

"The process to switch video providers is more cumbersome for consumers," Verizon wrote in a petition filed with the FCC today to request a declaratory ruling. "Cable incumbents do not accept disconnect orders from the new provider; instead, they require the customer to contact them directly to cancel service after choosing a new video provider and to return equipment.

"This significantly complicates the process of switching video providers, thereby entrenching the cable incumbents' dominant market position."

Verizon also stated in its petition:

"Because such a ruling will establish parity in the processes for canceling telephone and video services, it will facilitate the ability of consumers to switch video providers, enhancing competition both in video services and in the triple play of bundled services. ... It is well within the commission's authority to make this declaratory ruling that will foster robust competition between cable incumbents and other video providers."

In a separate FCC filing Monday, Verizon asked the commission to stop a pattern of cable industry efforts to interfere with customer choice and convenience when customers want to transfer their voice service from a cable company to a new carrier and retain their local number. Verizon stated that cable companies routinely delay the ability of their voice customers to obtain more attractive offers from competitive providers by violating the FCC-approved customer transfer, or "porting," intervals Verizon and others have long met.

In addition, Verizon has explained that the cable industry is attempting to use the FCC and some state-level regulatory processes to protect itself from competition by preventing customers from even receiving information about attractive competitive offers -- so-called customer retention efforts -- that would benefit those customers.

MISCOR Group Announces New Locomotive Contract with Australia-Based Laing O'RourkeAmerican Motive Power Subsidiary Triples Backlog with Contract

SOUTH BEND, Ind., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Industrial services provider MISCOR Group, Ltd. (BULLETIN BOARD: MIGL) today announced its subsidiary, American Motive Power (AMP), has been awarded a contract worth approximately $6 million by the Australian construction and services company Laing O'Rourke for the remanufacture of five freight locomotives at its Dansville, NY location.

AMP, part of MISCOR's industry-leading Repair, Remanufacturing and Manufacturing (RRM) Group, was acquired by MISCOR in January 2008. Since then, AMP has seen its backlog of service work more than triple, growing from approximately $5 million in January 2008 to more than $19 million as of mid- March 2008.

"This contract is a great win for our newest subsidiary, as it continues to grow its backlog and gain industry recognition on a true global scale for its outstanding service and remanufacturing expertise," said John Martell, President and CEO of MISCOR. "This contract also validates our strategic growth initiatives as it marks a significant increase in our international presence and will help bolster our service platform as we continue to pursue additional overseas opportunities."

MISCOR noted that the selected locomotives will undergo an extensive remanufacturing process, including the installation of state-of-the-art microprocessors which will improve operating performance and reduce the cost of ongoing maintenance. In addition, the locomotives will be the beneficiaries of a number of enhancements to deal with the extreme desert conditions they will be subjected to in Saudi Arabia. The Company also said it will provide on site technical support and training in Saudi Arabia to support ongoing maintenance and operation of the locomotives.

"Our customer-oriented culture and industry-leading capabilities in remanufacturing, including the ability to modernize locomotives with the latest technology and our ability to work on a tight schedule were some of the key factors to winning this contract," concluded Rich Tamborski, Executive Vice President and COO of MISCOR and President of AMP. "We continue to believe that American Motive Power was a critical acquisition and will be a profitable business for us in the long-term, especially as we continue to increase our backlog and grow internationally."

The remanufactured locomotives will be headed to Saudi Arabia this fall and will play a critical role in the transportation of materials, equipment and workers for the ongoing construction of a significant new railroad system running through the An-Nafud wilderness.

SGI-Powered Traffic and Transportation Simulation Enables Planning for Traffic Efficiency and Emergency EvacuationSGI Altix 4700 Leverages Shared Memory and Scalability to Deliver Traffic Modeling and Analysis

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- An SGI(R) Altix(R) 4700 from SGI is enabling sophisticated traffic simulation at the recently unveiled Universal Transportation Model Simulation Center (UTMSC) at City College of New York (CCNY). The center is using the high performance computing solution to run traffic simulators and models for traffic planning, signal optimization and network flow. These models can be used to meet escalating traffic demands or to establish an effective transportation plan in the event of a disaster.

The SGI Altix 4700, powered by 40 Intel(R) Itanium2(R) processors, was installed in February, 2007.

Running VISTA(TM) traffic simulation software on the powerful SGI platform, researchers, public agencies and private consulting firms can generate large scale models for a number of different scenarios. These include transportation planning models to evaluate the impact of various infrastructure changes and assessing traffic control measures such as signal timing, speed limit changes, and High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. Also included are evacuation and emergency response models to be used in the event of a natural disaster or other catastrophe.

"Traffic simulation is a very data intensive application," said Dr. Neville Parker, director of UTMSC, CUNY Institute for Transportation Systems. "The 40 core SGI Altix 4700 platform provides the low latency, scalability and expansive shared memory we need to allow multiple users to run our large-scale transportation models simultaneously."

"We've already seen significant speed in performance," continued Dr. Parker. "The SGI Altix 4700 simulates traffic at over 8x real time for medium sized regional networks and can perform forty such simulations in parallel."

"The models and simulations that UTMSC is making possible will have a far ranging impact on commuters in the New York Metropolitan area," said Doug Britt, senior vice president of Worldwide Sales at SGI. "The list of uses for these models is staggering. Using simulation software on the Altix 4700, UTMSC can evaluate potential results of special events such as the Super Bowl or changes in travel demand on a particular route, such as the opening of a new shopping center. They can even provide scenarios for large scale emergency evacuation."

Stinger Systems Contracts with Dr. Wayne McDaniel for Medical Studies and Consulting

TAMPA, Fla., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stinger Systems, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: STIY) , a leader in electro-stun technology today announced that it has contracted with Dr. Wayne McDaniel of the University of Missouri, to perform a comparative analysis of the Stinger S-200, the Taser M26, and the Taser X26. Dr. McDaniel is a well-known researcher in this field, who has previously co-authored multiple papers in the area of Electronic Immobilization Devices (EIDs). He has also served as a consultant to EID manufacturers and as an expert witness related to EIDs.

Dr. McDaniel has completed his comparative analysis, and a link to his full report can be found on the Stinger Systems' home page, http://www.stingersystems.com/.

His analysis first involved applying each of the three commercial projectile stun guns to a resistive load. His report concludes that the Stinger S-200 deliver less energy, power, current, and voltage than both the Taser M26 and X26 when applied to a resistive load.

His study also characterized the current that was delivered into the torso of a human-sized pig by each of the three commercially available EID's. His report concludes that the Stinger S-200 delivered less peak and rms current than both the Taser X26 and the Taser M26.

Dr. McDaniel will be available to law enforcement departments who need additional details on this comparative analysis or regarding his other studies in this area.

Robert Gruder, Stinger Systems' Chairman stated, "The Stinger S-200 has demonstrated great knockdown power, through the use of a radically different electrical waveform. We now have independent confirmation from an established researcher in this field, that the S-200 achieves this knock-down power while delivering less of what Dr. McDaniel believes to be the most important electrical parameters."
