MapQuest and Garmin(R) Announce a Partnership to Deliver MapQuest Directions and Maps Directly to Garmin GPS Devices

LAS VEGAS, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- MapQuest, Inc. and Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. , the global leader in satellite navigation, today announced plans for the upcoming launch of a new feature that will allow consumers to send trip planning results from MapQuest.com, the #1 online mapping website,* directly to their Garmin personal navigation device.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061026/CGTH082LOGO)

Through the partnership, users can find a place, as well as plan and research routes, at MapQuest.com, then send the locations directly to Garmin GPS units by utilizing the "Send to GPS" drop down option. Users will then be able to easily access previously sent location data from their Garmin device without needing to input information directly on the device.

"Garmin is the clear leader in satellite navigation and our partnership further establishes MapQuest.com as the go-to site for destination planning," said Christian Dwyer, Senior Vice President and General Manager of MapQuest, Inc. "GPS-enabled navigation devices are becoming increasingly prevalent. Offering users the option to plan online from the convenience of their computer and send information to these devices is a natural progression and an important, time-saving resource."

"Our relationship with MapQuest gives our users even more of what they've come to expect from their Garmin products -- ease of use and an array of options," said Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "Planning a trip, whether it's to a new restaurant, a business meeting or a family vacation, has never been easier or more efficient."

The new Send-to-Garmin feature will be available in April and expands on MapQuest Send-To capabilities which currently enable consumers to easily send directions from the MapQuest.com site to their mobile phones. The ability to send planning results from the vast and dynamic MapQuest database to Garmin supplements Garmin's extensive collection of preloaded destinations.

MapQuest and Garmin will both be in attendance at this week's CTIA Wireless 2008 show, taking place in Las Vegas from April 1 through April 3. MapQuest will be demonstrating the Send to Garmin feature in the AOL booth #2857 (Hall C4/C5). Garmin will be located in booth #6639, and more information is available at http://www.garmin.com/.

Garmin(R) Simplifies Searching, Sending and Navigating to Locations through Google Maps

LAS VEGAS, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. , the global leader in satellite navigation, today announced that users can now send locations found on Google Maps(TM), an innovative online mapping service, directly to their Garmin personal navigation device.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061026/CGTH082LOGO)

"Given the amount of time we all spend at a computer or in our cars, teaming with Google Maps gives users the versatility of planning their travels at their keyboard in addition to their Garmin device," said Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "There's no need to waste time printing, scribbling or e-mailing locations and directions when you can use Google Maps to search for and save everything you need with just a couple of clicks."

The process is quick and easy. Users begin by searching Google Maps for a specific business or a broader category -- "Kansas City barbecue," for example -- and the results will appear on a map. The desired location can then be saved directly to the Garmin device through the Send-to function. This reduces delays, including delays that can be caused by intermediary software, so that users can immediately resume their search for more places or get in their car and go.

"This is part of our ongoing effort to connect Google services like Google Maps with Garmin products," explained Giorgio Scherl, a product manager for Google. "We continue to add progressive features, such as user-generated content, to make Google Maps more compelling and useful in an increasingly mobile world."

The Send-to-Garmin feature is available at Google Maps, as of April 1. Garmin will have information about Google Maps and other new announcements available at garmin.com and at its CTIA Wireless trade show booth (#6639) in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 1-3, 2008.

TII Network Technologies Reports 2007 Year End ResultsFourth Quarter Sales Increase 50%

EDGEWOOD, N.Y., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TII Network Technologies, Inc. , a company that develops and manufactures connectivity and data distribution solutions for the communications industry, today announced its results of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2007.

Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were $12.0 million compared to $8.0 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $4.0 million or 50.3%. The growth reflects increased sales of connectivity products, home networking products and digital subscriber line (DSL) products.

Non-GAAP operating income, which excludes restructuring charges of $46,000 related to the closing of our facility in Puerto Rico in 2007, was $734,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 compared to a loss of $37,000 for the comparable prior year period, an improvement of $771,000. Operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $688,000 compared to a loss of $37,000 for the comparable prior year period, an improvement of $725,000.

Income before taxes in the fourth quarter 2007 was $755,000 compared to $16,000 in the comparable 2006 period.

Net income for the fourth quarter 2007 period was $6.1 million or $0.44 per diluted share, including a tax benefit of $5.3 million or $0.39 per diluted share. For the fourth quarter 2006 period, net income was $1.5 million or $0.11 per diluted share, including a tax benefit of $1.5 million or $0.11 per diluted share. The tax benefit resulted from a reduction of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance and is net of Federal and state taxes on pre-tax income at statutory rates.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $46.8 million compared to $39.1 million for the similar prior year period, an increase of $7.7 million or 19.8%. The growth reflects increased sales of home networking products and connectivity and DSL products, partially offset by decreases in sales of our network interface products.

Non-GAAP operating income, which excludes restructuring charges of $1.1 million related to the closing of our facility in Puerto Rico in 2007, was $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $1.8 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $824,000 or 47%. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1.5 million compared to $1.8 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $300,000 or 14.4%.

Income before taxes in 2007 was $1.7 million compared to $2.0 million in the comparable 2006 period.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $6.4 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, including a tax benefit of $4.8 million or $0.35 per diluted share. Net income in 2006 was $2.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, including a tax benefit of $710,000 or $0.05 per diluted share. The tax benefit resulted from a reduction of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance and is net of Federal and state taxes on pre-tax income at statutory rates.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income to our GAAP operating income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) is set forth at the end of this press release.

Kenneth A. Paladino, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The continuation of our sales growth reflects increases across most of our product lines and resulted in a 47% increase in operating income for the year, excluding the restructuring charges. The restructuring charges resulted from the closure of our Puerto Rico facility in September 2007 and the consolidation of the operations previously conducted in that facility into our new, owned facility in Edgewood, New York, which we moved into in June 2007. With the consolidation of operations completed, which improves our operating efficiencies, and anticipated further growth in sales of our new products under our product and customer diversification strategy, we believe our profitability will continue to increase. These improved financial results validate that we are successfully executing our product and customer diversification strategy, a strategy that we believe will result in continued success into 2008."

(For more information, visit http://www.ti.com/ctianews.)

To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/texasinstruments/32457/

Connectivity technologies on the rise

Market trend reports and forecasts predict strong and growing demand for GPS, Bluetooth and FM in handsets. "We see a strong correlation between the demand for including the combination of GPS and Bluetooth functionality, with GPS attach rates reaching 30 percent and Bluetooth penetration approaching 70 percent by 2011," said Patrick Connolly, senior GPS analyst at IMS Research. "Accordingly, we believe that combo devices that integrate both technologies will play a major part in the uptake of GPS in the cellular market over the next four years -- reducing cost, size and power consumption, while also maintaining performance." Building upon TI's proven expertise in delivering combo or multiple-radio processors, NaviLink 6.0 is the third generation of the company's highly integrated single-chip GPS devices. This new solution leverages TI's Bluetooth and FM cores, which are already embedded in the company's BlueLink(TM) 7.0 Bluetooth, and WiLink(TM) 6.0 mobile WiFi devices. NaviLink 6.0 reduces board space by up to 40 percent, enabling the smallest possible phones and reduces power consumption by up to 50 percent over previous TI solutions.

"NaviLink 6.0 enables TI's customers to further enhance the mobile user experience by bringing popular GPS functionality and mobile connectivity to broader market segments," said Remi El-Ouazzane, vice president of TI's Wireless Terminals Business Unit. "With TI's unparalleled ability to effectively and efficiently combine multiple radios on a single die, the NaviLink 6.0 solution delivers an enhanced user experience in an affordable package to meet our customers' requirements."

Solving customers' challenges with coexistence and fast TTFF

The NaviLink 6.0 solution also addresses the complex coexistence challenge. TI's hardware implementation and software algorithms are optimized to ensure seamless coexistence between GPS, Bluetooth, FM, WLAN and cellular functions. As more connectivity technologies are integrated into cell phones, the more challenging it becomes to ensure minimal interference between the various radios in these complex mobile phone systems.

Video: Texas Instruments Extends OMAP(TM) Portfolio With Multimedia Coprocessor That Boosts Mobile Imaging and Video PerformanceOMAP(TM)-DM coprocessors enable eight mega pixel still images and DVD-quality video capabilities in mobile phones

DALLAS, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- A news-breaking event, a baby's first steps, a winning goal in the final seconds of a game are all milestones that occur in the blink of an eye and shape peoples' lives. In order to capture these important events spontaneously when they occur, consumers demand an ever-present device that delivers the vividness and accuracy they've come to expect from standalone cameras, and mobile phones are increasingly the answer. To address this demand, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) has expanded its OMAP(TM) processor portfolio to include a line of coprocessors that boost the multimedia and imaging performance of mobile phones. The newest device in this family is the OMAP-DM510 coprocessor which improves the user experience of advanced handset capabilities with support for up to eight mega pixel still images and DVD-quality video capabilities. (For more information, visit http://www.ti.com/ctianews.)

To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/texasinstruments/32456/

The convenience and "always-with-you" aspect of the mobile handset is driving demand for imaging features and functionality similar to stand-alone digital still cameras, including high resolution (five mega pixel and above), automatic focus, flash, increased shot-to-shot performance and video recording capabilities. TI's OMAP-DM510 coprocessor delivers the performance necessary to take high quality images and video by using an embedded image signal processor (ISP) and video processors along with an ARM processor.

"Image signal processing has long been a strength of TI's, as the company pioneered some of the most advanced digital still camera solutions," said Raj Talluri, general manager for TI's Cellular Media Systems Solution business. "The OMAP-DM510 coprocessor, alongside the other OMAP-DM products available today, extends this legacy to deliver camera phones with a digital still camera quality experience to both the mid-tier and high-end mobile handset markets."

Flexible solutions for a variety of market needs

The OMAP-DM coprocessors are highly flexible, scalable family of products and for handset manufacturers who want to address the mid-tier market, the OMAP-DM platform can easily be paired with a baseband modem to deliver imaging functionality when an applications processor is not required. For high-end mobile phones, the OMAP-DM coprocessors can also extend the capabilities of stand alone applications processors, such as an OMAP processor, improving the overall imaging and video performance of a handset by offloading the imaging and video functions from the existing applications processor.

High performance solution optimizes imaging for unique needs of mobile phones

In addition to supporting up to eight mega pixel still images, the OMAP-DM510 delivers extremely fast shot-to-shot performance, as well as three frames per second of burst mode performance. Along with advanced imaging capabilities, the OMAP-DM product line also offers high quality video, supporting up to DVD quality video at 30 frames per second for various video standards, including MPEG4 and H.264.

A high-quality camera phone experience is not only about solution performance, but about quality picture capture, which is more challenging given the limited dimensions of the mobile phone's form factor. This increases the need for image correction and enhancement, so technologies such as sensor and lens compensation, sharpening, red eye reduction and image stabilization become more important. Leveraging third party software from members of TI's OMAP Developer Network, handset manufacturers have access to even more enhancement features, including color compensation, blink detection, face detection and smile detection. The ability to integrate such options with the OMAP and OMAP-DM processors allows manufacturers to deliver advancements in the mobile user experience and further differentiate their devices in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Demonstrations and availability

The OMAP-DM510 solution is sampling today with handsets expected to be on the market by early 2009. To learn more about TI's OMAP-DM product line as well as experience its capabilities, stop by TI's CTIA booth in Hall 4, booth 1048 or visit http://www.ti.com/wirelesspressroom.

Wisconsin Chief on the Wisconsin's Electronic Control Device Committee Selects Stinger Systems' S-200 for Department Deployment

TAMPA, Fla., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stinger Systems, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: STIY) , a leader in electro-stun technology today announced that the Chief Michael King of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin has selected the Stinger S-200 projectile stun guns for deployment by his department. Chief King was on the State of Wisconsin's committee assessing ECD (Electronic Control Device) technology.

Chief Michael King of Prairie du Chien, who also assisted authorship of Defensive and Arrest Tactics Guide, a training guide for Wisconsin Law Enforcement Officers, stated, "As a member of the state's ECD Committee I believe I have had the opportunity to extensively research the ECD marketplace. What I found most compelling about the Stinger S-200 ECD is its waveform technology. If you need say only 5,000 Scoville units in pepper spray to be effective, why would you want to purchase a pepper spray with 50,000 Scoville units? The same logic goes with ECD's. Why would I want to purchase a device that has been measured to have 75% more peak current than the Stinger product since each product is effective at immobilizing suspects?"

Synopsys Extends Design Compiler Topographical Technology to Predict and Alleviate Routing CongestionNew Design Compiler Graphical Cuts Design Time and Improves Schedule Predictability

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synopsys, Inc. , a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design and manufacturing, today unveiled its new Design Compiler(R) Graphical synthesis product that shortens implementation time for system-on-chip (SoC) devices by helping RTL designers avoid wire-routing congestion problems that typically occur during detailed route. Design Compiler Graphical is the industry's first synthesis solution that predicts circuit congestion "hot spots" early in the design flow, provides designers with visualization of the congested circuit regions and performs synthesis optimizations to minimize congestion in these areas. The ability to predict, visualize and alleviate routing problems prior to physical implementation substantially reduces iterations between synthesis and place-and-route, and can significantly lower project time, effort and cost.

"Topographical technology in Design Compiler has already delivered a boost in our designers' productivity," said Shahar Even-Zur, Physical Design team leader at Dune Networks. "We expect another significant reduction in design implementation time using the new Design Compiler Graphical product after having verified that it automatically reduces routing congestion during RTL synthesis."

Designers worldwide have achieved rapid design closure using Design Compiler topographical technology to ensure tight timing, area and power correlation with IC Compiler physical implementation results. However, even if a design meets all the performance specifications, congestion can be severe enough to make it very difficult to successfully route the design, leading to longer design cycles and more iterations between synthesis and place-and-route.

Synopsys' new Design Compiler Graphical product circumvents these iterations, which can be especially lengthy and painstaking for very large designs. First, it provides congestion reports and visualization to assist designers in identifying congested regions in a circuit. Second, it employs optimization techniques to synthesize a design with significantly less congestion, thereby creating a better starting point for physical design. The ability to first estimate and then prevent routing congestion problems early in the design phase produces a more predictable, streamlined design flow from RTL synthesis through physical implementation that can shave weeks off project schedules.

"Routing congestion has emerged as a key design bottleneck as semiconductor firms increasingly take advantage of smaller process geometries to squeeze more circuit functionality into SoCs," said Antun Domic, senior vice president and general manager, Synopsys Implementation Group. "In response, Synopsys has extended topographical synthesis technology in our Design Compiler product to provide benefits to our customers far beyond the advantages of highly-correlated timing, area and power. Early adopters are experiencing much shorter design cycles due to automation that predicts and alleviates congestion."

Design Compiler Graphical is available today as an add-on to DC Ultra. About Synopsys

Curtiss-Wright's Electro-Mechanical Corporation (CW-EMD), part of its Flow Control segment, will engineer and manufacture the pumps, seals and drive rods at its Cheswick, PA facility.

Unit 1 has been operating for over 10 years. Watts Bar Unit 2 is approximately 60 percent complete. In August 2007, TVA's board of directors approved a five-year, $2.5 billion plan to finish the unfinished unit.

The plan to complete Watts Bar Unit 2 is expected to last 54 months, with the reactor scheduled to enter commercial operation in early 2012. It would be the 105th nuclear power reactor in the United States. Westinghouse was the original supplier of the two Watts Bar reactors and CW-EMD was the original supplier of the reactor cooling pumps.

Hifn to Showcase Secure iSCSI Appliances at FOSE 08

LOS GATOS, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hifn(TM) , the catalyst behind storage and networking innovation, will showcase its Swarm(TM) secure iSCSI SAN appliances at FOSE 2008 Conference and Exhibition, April 1-3 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., Booth #1517N.

Hifn's Swarm appliances are the only iSCSI storage appliances available with integrated AES256 hardware data encryption, providing a simple-to-deploy and easy-to-use, out-of-the-box regulatory compliance solution for government installations facing the complexity of protecting people's data and mandates governing the retention of information. In addition, Hifn's Swarm 3000 model was the world's first iSCSI storage appliance to feature RAID level 6, adding an extra layer of protection against potential data loss during the longer array rebuild times associated with high-capacity SATA drives.

Hifn's IP SAN storage system allows government users to leverage their existing Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure and IP knowledge base to deploy a secure IP Storage Area Network with the associated cost benefits of storage consolidation and centralized management without the complexity penalties of typical Fibre Channel SANs. Hifn has simplified the management of network storage by including a complete set of storage services with every Swarm iSCSI appliance, including data encryption, storage consolidation, snapshots, remote replication, central management, automatic backup, and support for both iSCSI and NAS (block and file storage) in the same appliance. Those storage services are typically extra-cost add-ons with other storage appliances, making the Swarm Series the most secure and best value in iSCSI storage for government users.

Hifn's Swarm secure iSCSI appliances are available on the GSA schedule through Promark Technology.

About Hifn

Hifn delivers the key channel and OEM ingredients for 21st century storage and networking environments. Leveraging over a decade of leadership and expertise in the development of purpose-built Applied Service Processors (ASPs), we are a trusted partner to industry leaders for whom infrastructure innovation in storage and networking is critical to success. With the majority of secure networked communications flowing through Hifn technology, the 21st century convergence of storage and networking drives our product roadmap forward.

Mindray's Laptop-size M5 and BS-200 Receive FDA Clearance

Company Announces Update on Product Approval Pipeline

SHENZHEN, China, March 31 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Mindray Medical International Limited today announced it has received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for its portable M5 ultrasound imaging system and BS-200 automatic bio-chemistry analyzer. Mindray has to date received FDA 510(k) clearance for a total of 14 products, covering patient monitoring and life support products, in-vitro diagnostic products and medical imaging systems.

The company also announced it has received approval from the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration ("SFDA") for the M5 and its DC-3 color ultrasound imaging system and provided an update on its product approval pipeline.

"Our growing portfolio of FDA-approved medical devices reflects our commitment to achieving the highest standards in quality and performance and is part of our long-term strategy to compete in the most sophisticated markets in the world," said Mr. Xu Hang, Mindray's chairman and co-chief executive officer. "Our unique, China-based model leverages world-class R&D that tailors products by functionality and pricing needs for more than 140 countries worldwide. With our established direct sales and service network in the United States and Europe expanded by our recent acquisition, I'm optimistic about our ability to deepen Mindray brand awareness and continue to gain market share."

Latest product launches and approvals

In the first quarter of 2008, Mindray's portable M5 ultrasound imaging system received both FDA and SFDA approval and has been launched in both domestic and international markets. The M5 is the company's first laptop-size ultrasound imaging device, weighing only six kilograms and combining brilliant color imaging with uncompromised 2D performance. Hand Carried Ultrasound ("HCU") is one of the fastest growing ultrasound segments in the United States and in international markets. The M5 is ideally suited for doctors' offices, clinics and surgery centers that traditionally forego ultrasound imaging equipment due to space and applicable technology constraints.

The company's BS-200 automatic bio-chemistry analyzer also received FDA clearance in the first quarter of 2008 and is available in domestic and international markets. The BS-200 is an automatic low-throughput bio-chemistry analyzer designed to replace semi-automatic bio-chemistry analyzers. It is targeted for hospitals and clinics in rural China as well as small hospitals and labs in international markets. It also serves as a backup machine for large hospitals and labs.

The DC-3 color ultrasound imaging system, designed to have wide applications in abdominal, OB/GYN, endovaginal, cardiac, small parts and pediatric markets, received SFDA approval in the first quarter of 2008. The product is ideally suited for hospitals and clinics seeking to replace black and white ultrasound imaging systems.

New approval pipeline

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the company submitted applications for FDA approval for three of its BeneView series products, including the T5, T6 and T8 multi-parameter patient monitoring devices.

The company expects to receive SFDA approval for its EX55 and EX65 compact anesthesia machines in the second quarter of 2008.

About Mindray

Mindray Medical International Limited is a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of medical devices in China with a significant and growing presence worldwide. Established in 1991, Mindray offers a broad range of products across three primary business segments: patient monitoring & life support products, in-vitro diagnostic products, and medical imaging systems.

Medialink Reports Fourth Quarter 2007 Results

NEW YORK, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medialink Worldwide Incorporated , a leading provider of diversified media services for professional communicators and marketers and, through its Teletrax(R) subsidiaries, a leading provider of digital video tracking services to content owners, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007.

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007, of $8.9 million decreased by 4.7% from revenues of $9.3 million in the comparable 2006 period. Revenues from Teletrax(R) digital video tracking services increased $311,000 or 41.2%, but revenues from media communications services decreased $749,000 or 8.7%. Revenues from media communications services decreased due to a decline in business of $816,000 and $407,000 in the domestic and international operations, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by revenues of $369,000 associated with re-billable expenses in the Company's international operation and an increase in revenues of $105,000 resulting from a change in foreign currency exchange rates.

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, Teletrax service revenues were $1.1 million as compared to $688,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006 and $879,000 in the third quarter of 2007, increases of 54.2% and 20.7%, respectively. Teletrax service revenues for the fourth quarter 2007 and 2006 exclude revenues from affiliated parties of $50,000 and $57,000, respectively. Teletrax incurred an operating loss of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to an operating loss of $823,000 in the 2006 quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Teletrax service revenues were $3.4 million as compared to $2.4 million in the comparable 2006 period, an increase of 43.2%. Teletrax service revenues for the full year 2007 and 2006 exclude revenues from affiliated parties of $236,000 and $252,000, respectively.

The Company incurred an operating loss of $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to an operating loss of $1.1 million in the 2006 quarter. Exclusive of Teletrax, the Company incurred an operating loss of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to an operating loss of $255,000 in the 2006 quarter.

For the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Company reported a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.34 per share. For the comparable period in 2006, the Company reported a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.22 per share. The Company had cash reserves and working capital totaling $12.7 million and $11.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007.

"Revenue growth at Teletrax increased over the growth rates we experienced in the first two quarters of 2007," said Laurence Moskowitz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medialink. "We remain proud of our marquee-name client list and the level of service we provide to our clients, but our revenue levels remain below our internal projections. We have taken steps to boost our sales force in an effort to improve the overall sales process and to develop enhanced services to offer clients and potential clients greater value. We are also pursuing all avenues to realize the value we believe this business warrants, and have undertaken a re-evaluation of the overall business plan for Teletrax, including continuing to explore tracking of video on the Internet.

"Our media communications services business continues to confront softness in the marketplace," continued Moskowitz. "This overall climate has continued into the first quarter of 2008, and we are anticipating a decline in revenues from this business of approximately $1 million or around 15% from the first quarter of 2007. We continue our efforts to enhance and streamline our services and sales process to take better advantage of the breadth of online and broadcast communications services we offer. We have also undertaken an initiative to examine each of our service offerings in an effort to better focus on those services that deliver the most value to our clients and the Company.

"In addition, earlier today we announced that our board of directors has approved a program to buy back up to 150,000 shares of our common stock under specified conditions," concluded Moskowitz.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, revenues increased by $1.7 million, or 5.3%, to $33.4 million as compared to the comparable 2006 period. Revenues from Teletrax services increased $1.0 million, or 38.5%, and revenues from media communications services increased $735,000, or 2.5%. Revenues from media communications services in 2007 included $631,000 recognized under a minimum commitment arrangement entered into in connection with the sale of U.S. Newswire for which no services were provided.

The Company incurred an operating loss of $9.1 million in 2007, compared to an operating loss of $8.7 million in 2006. Exclusive of Teletrax, the Company incurred an operating loss of $5.1 million in 2007, compared to an operating loss of $5.3 million in 2006. The operating losses in the 2007 and 2006 periods include $178,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, for transaction- specific compensation paid in connection with the sale of U.S. Newswire.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company reported a net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.72 per share, consisting of a loss from continuing operations of $7.2 million, or $1.13 per share, and income from discontinued operations of $2.6 million, or $0.41 per share, relating to additional gain recognized on the sale of U.S. Newswire. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company reported a net loss of $946,000, or $0.15 per share, consisting of a loss from continuing operations of $6.3 million, or $1.03 per share, and income from discontinued operations of $5.4 million, or $0.88 per share, relating to the gain on sale and results of operations of U.S. Newswire.

Sonus Networks Brings Next-Generation Mobile Architectures to LifeIndustry Leader Delivers on the Need for Speed

LAS VEGAS, Nev., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CTIA 2008 -- Hassan Ahmed, chairman, president and CEO at Sonus Networks Inc., today predicted that next generation telecommunications networks will continue to disrupt traditional communications services and the entertainment industry as consumers consider their mobile services indispensable and leverage the higher mobile broadband speeds now available.

"Globally, we are in the midst of redefining communications, social networking and how entertainment is delivered to consumers," said Ahmed, ahead of the CTIA Wireless 2008 Convention. "Increasing broadband speed and convergence bring a new level of capabilities and personalization to mobile services. Operators, such as those attending CTIA 2008, are embracing this opportunity and launching network plans, such as 4G that will revolutionize the communications industry. The Sonus Networks vision for the IP network is becoming a reality."

Fourth generation mobile broadband technology using Long Term Evolution (LTE) is being trialed by operators around the world and will create a common mobile network that enables consumers to move seamlessly across the globe without limiting their mobile coverage. Additionally, LTE technology will drive the IP mobile network where Sonus is able to deliver the enhanced mobile services consumers want without heavy investment in infrastructure for the mobile operators.

"It is clear the mobile industry is seeing significant grow in data traffic as the wireless broadband market matures," said Brian Partridge, director of service provider enabling technologies, Yankee Group. "Next generation mobile broadband access technologies such as LTE and WiMAX, demand scaleable and high performance IP services infrastructure."

A Sonus IP-based next generation infrastructure that includes the recently announced mobilEdge, will allow wireless operators to quickly respond to customers' demands for bandwidth hungry services and retain flexibility within their network to innovate and take advantage of 4G networks.

"This year, we hear our customers talk about planning for these future technologies," said Vikram Saksena, CTO at Sonus Networks. "The IP based network and advanced switching capabilities of the Sonus infrastructure, helps integrate the wireless and wireline services in use today. WiMax and LTE are just alternative broadband technologies to us. Customers can make choices about their infrastructure today, without worrying about the broadband delivery they will use in the future."

Alcatel-Lucent and Airvana to Jointly Demonstrate a CDMA Femtocell Solution at CTIA 2008Companies to show voice and data services based on IMS-SIP architecture

LAS VEGAS, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Airvana, Inc. , and Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU; Euronext Paris: ALU) today announced they will jointly demonstrate an end-to-end third-generation (3G) CDMA/EV-DO femtocell solution, supporting voice and mobile high-speed data services, at the CTIA Wireless 2008 tradeshow and exhibition. The demonstration is taking place April 1-3, 2008 in Alcatel-Lucent's booth (#2613) at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Femtocells are small cellular access points that leverage existing broadband connectivity to provide consumers with enhanced mobile voice, video and data services, especially in the home using existing mobile phones and other wireless devices. They will enable operators to cost-effectively increase their network coverage and capacity to meet the growing demand for mobile voice and data services, particularly in difficult-to-serve indoor environments as well as to ultimately offer new services and service packages to users.

To provide femtocell-based services, mobile operators will deploy end-to- end solutions that incorporate the femtocell device, femto network gateways, and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) core network infrastructure. The joint demonstration by Alcatel-Lucent and Airvana is an example of vendors cooperating to deliver just such a solution.

The advanced CDMA femtocell solution envisioned by both companies combines Airvana's radio access technology, including the femto access point and Femto Network Gateway services provided by the Universal Access Gateway (UAG), together with Alcatel-Lucent's IMS core supporting CDMA-SIP convergence. Built on an innovative flat IP architecture using IMS and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) standards, this solution provides support for both CDMA2000 1X and EV-DO Rev. A service, together with unique capabilities to allow seamless inter-working between the femtocell and the broader macro network, in order to ensure that users have a consistent, high-quality mobile experience for voice, data, and video services as they move between the indoor and outdoor environments. By working together the two companies can offer operators the benefits of advanced femto radio access capabilities together with a full suite of IMS products and features in an integrated solution that leverages the combined expertise of Airvana and Alcatel-Lucent.

The company's high-performance technology and products, from comprehensive femtocell solutions to core mobile network infrastructure, enable operators to deliver broadband services to mobile devices, independent of physical location.

New AT&T Real Yellow Pages Directories Being Distributed Throughout ChicagoResidential Listings Now Available By Request in Print or Electronic Format

CHICAGO, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- This month, residents in the "Windy City" will have an updated resource to turn to for all local search needs. The latest edition of the AT&T Real Yellow Pages published by Dex is now being delivered to residents throughout Chicago.

In 2007 there were more than 84 million print directory references in the Chicago area alone, indicating that print Yellow Pages directories remain vital resources for consumers. To answer consumers' needs the 2008 edition of the AT&T Real Yellow Pages published by Dex includes detailed information on thousands of Chicago-area businesses, as well as local area maps, shopping guides, coupons and more. Beginning this year the Chicago Metro Residential White Pages are available only by request.

"Local residential listings are already included in the Chicago Neighborhood directories that we deliver in August, on DexKnows.com(TM) and on YELLOWPAGES.COM, so we felt it was better for consumers if we discontinued delivery of a standalone Chicago Metro Residential White Pages directory," said David Kelly, director of marketing, Dex. "However, people who still wish to receive the Chicago Metro Residential White Pages can contact us and we will happily supply them with a complimentary copy."

Consumers may request a copy of the standalone Chicago Residential White Pages by calling 1-800-487-6733. They may also use that number to order up to five complimentary copies of the AT&T Real Yellow Pages published by Dex or a free CD-ROM of white pages listings.

Dining Guide, Events Calendar Highlight New Features

The latest edition of the AT&T Real Yellow Pages published by Dex offers a view of the Chicago skyline from Grant Park on the cover and a host of new features inside. For the first time, the directory will include the Mayor's Office of Special Events Calendar of Events and will once again feature the Chicago Magazine Dining Guide, offering reviews on some of the area's finest restaurants.

In addition to the main Chicago Yellow Pages directory most residents are also receiving compact Chicago Plus directories. Plus directories are smaller versions of the larger book and are perfect for on-the-go consumers who wish to keep an extra directory in their car, or as a second directory in the home.

Wuhan General Reports Fiscal Year 2007 Financial Results

-- Full Year Revenue Increases 394% to $82.5 Million -- -- Net income Increases 364% to $14.9 Million --

WUHAN, China, March 31 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Wuhan General (OTC Bulletin Board: WUHN), a leading manufacturer of industrial blowers and turbines, today announced consolidated financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2007.

Fiscal 2007 Results

For the full year, total sales increased 394% to $82.5 million as compared to $16.7 million in the prior year period. Sales of industrial blowers comprised 54% of total revenue, or $44.6 million, while sales of turbines amounted to $37.9 million or 46% of total revenue.

Gross profit increased to $25.1 million compared to $7.8 million in the prior year period. The industrial blower unit contributed 64% of the gross profit, or $16.1 million, while turbines accounted for 36% of gross profit, or $8.9 million. Gross margin decreased from 46.8% in 2006 to 30.4% in 2007. Gross margin for the industrial blower business was 36% and for the turbine business was 23%. The decrease in gross margins was primarily due to increases in raw material costs, particularly steel. Also impacting gross margins was the Huangli power plant project for which the Company is responsible for construction of the entire plant, with construction having somewhat lower gross margins than blower and turbine sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year increased 107% from $3.8 million in 2006 to $7.9 million in 2007. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased from 23% in 2006 to 10% in 2007. This decrease is mainly attributable to economies of scale related to higher sales and production volumes associated with the launching of the turbine business in 2007.

Operating profit in 2007 increased 340% to $16.4 million as compared to $3.7 million in the prior year period. The combined effect of the decreased gross margin and a decrease in SG&A percentages year over year resulted in operating margins decreasing from 22.3% to 19.9%.

It should be noted that Net Income Available to Common Shareholders for 2007 includes a one-time Paid-in-Capital vs. Retained Earnings re-allocation, resulting from the $24.0 million sale of Convertible Preferred Stock with Warrants in the 1st Quarter. This re-allocation of $10.5 million was construed as a "Constructive Preferred Dividend" for accounting purposes. This "Dividend" had no impact on the company's real earnings, cash flow, overall equity or any other standard financial measure; nor was any such "Dividend" actually paid to the holders of the Preferred Stock. Real, cash dividends to the Preferred Shareholders in 2007 were $1.1 million.

Net income for 2007 increased 364% to $14.9 million from $3.2 million in 2006. Earnings Available to Common Shareholders, before the above accounting "Dividend", were $.70 per share versus $.16 per share in 2006, an increase of 338%. The fully diluted Earnings Available to Common Shareholders, before the above accounting "Dividend", were $.35 per share versus $.16 per share.

Mr. Xu Jie, Chief Executive Officer of Wuhan General commented, "We are quite pleased with the progress we made in 2007. We exceeded our revenue and net income forecasts for 2007 as our industrial blower business increased from $16.7 million in sales in 2006 to $44.6 million in 2007 and our turbine business, launched only this year, went from zero to $37.9 million. In a relatively short period of time we have solidified our position as a high quality supplier in the fast growing turbine business. We are now well positioned, relative to both blowers and turbines, to continue to profit from China's need for electricity, environmental protection, and general infrastructure build out.

2008 Financial Outlook

For 2008 the Company is expecting to record revenue of $119 million and net income of $22 million, increases of 44% and 48% respectively over 2007.

"In the second half of 2008 our new dedicated turbine manufacturing facility will be completely operational which will give us plenty of room to expand the business into the future," commented Mr. Xu Jie, Chief Executive Officer of Wuhan General. "Demand for our products continues to exceed supply within China. Exports now account for 10% of our industrial blower business and based on our quality and cost competitiveness we expect to see that percentage increase. Considering these positive trends and with a backlog of $18.6 million of blowers and $25.0 million of turbines as we enter 2008, we are confident this year will be another year of solid growth for Wuhan General."

Conference Call

The Company will conduct a conference call to discuss the fiscal 2007 results Wednesday, April 2, 2008 before the market open at 8:30 am ET. A press release will be issued within the next 24 hours announcing the dial-in numbers for Wednesday's conference call.

Milestone Scientific Announces 2007 Year-End ResultsCompany to Host Teleconference Tuesday, April 1, 2008 at 9:30 AM EDT

LIVINGSTON, N.J., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Milestone Scientific, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: MLSS) , the recognized leader in advanced injection technologies, today reported its operational and financial results for its 2007 fiscal year, ended December 31, 2007.

Key Operational Highlights: -- In February 2007, the STA(TM) System was formally unveiled to market at the 142nd Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting, one of the largest dental trade events held annually in the United States. The award- winning STA System is a patented Computer Controlled Local Anesthesia Delivery (CCLAD) system that incorporates the 'pressure feedback' elements of Milestone's patented CompuFlo(R) technology. -- In June 2007, the Company was granted a CE Mark approval of the STA System, giving Milestone the ability to begin marketing the instrument to dental professionals in European Union countries and other countries around the world that recognize the CE Mark approval process. -- In November 2007, Milestone entered into a collaborative agreement with a globally diversified healthcare company to conduct a feasibility study evaluating the potential application of the Company's patented CompuFlo technology for injecting certain medicaments produced by this company. The initial study has been completed and Milestone is now anticipating moving forward with this company. -- Milestone's management team underwent significant change and rejuvenation in 2007. In May, the Company welcomed Joe W. Martin to its team as Chief Executive Officer of the newly formed Medical Division. Then in December, when Leonard Osser, Milestone's Chairman and CEO, stepped down from the chief executive post, Joe was appointed as a new member of the Board of Directors and was named Milestone's new CEO. In addition, in the fall, Robert (Bob) Presutti joined Milestone as VP of Sales and Marketing, assuming the overall coordination, functional management and leadership of all sales, marketing and customer service activities of the Company. Subsequent to the end of 2007, Joseph D'Agostino joined Milestone as the new Acting Chief Financial Officer, replacing former Acting CFO Arthur Goldberg, who left the Company to pursue other career opportunities. Key Financial Highlights: -- Total revenue increased approximately 9% to $6.39 million, up from $5.84 million in 2006. -- Domestic revenue, favorably impacted by more than $1.15 million in sales of the Company's new STA System offset by a 55% decrease in domestic sales of the legacy CompuDent(R) system. Total domestic revenue rose 10.8% to $4.59 million from $4.15 million on a comparable year-over-year basis. Domestic revenues represented 73% of total sales for the year, compared to 75% in the prior year. -- International sales also improved, rising to $1.68 million from $1.42 million, despite a year-over-year 44% decline in sales of CompuDent systems. This revenue growth was largely attributable to $165,000 in sales of the new STA System, as well as a 47% increase in sales of disposable hand pieces used in conjunction with both the CompuDent and STA System. International sales were 27% of total 2007 sales, a modest increase from 26% of total sales reported in 2006. -- Gross profit margins saw a significant improvement, rising to 55% from 48%. This improvement was due primarily to the market launch of the STA System, reduced inventory write downs in 2007 when compared to 2006, and an increase in global sales of higher margin disposable hand pieces. -- Total operating costs in 2007 increased 6% to $6.7 million from $6.3 million in the previous year. -- Net loss attributable to common stockholders totaled $2.9 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share, in 2007, a 6.8% decline from $3.2 million, or $0.27 per basic and diluted share, reported for 2006.

Joe W. Martin, Chief Executive Officer of Milestone, stated, "Looking ahead, our focus in 2008 will be largely centered on increasing sales of the STA System, both domestically and internationally, as well as supporting sales of our legacy CCLAD system, CompuDent, and driving recurring orders of the disposable hand pieces used in conjunction with both instruments. The challenge going forward will be leveraging creative and tactical advertising and proactive marketing strategies to spread the 'right' message about the STA System to each and every dentist."

Continuing, Martin added, "Worldwide, we estimate that over 35 million dental injections have been administered to patients with either the STA or CompuDent systems, to date. Moreover, our patented CompuFlo technology, embedded in the STA System, has been the subject of more than 50 publications validating the efficacy and safety of the technology in a wide range of medical injection applications. In 2008, we will accelerate our pursuit of collaborative opportunities with medical, pharmaceutical and healthcare companies interested in developing new product applications using CompuFlo, in order to build and grow long term shareholder value in Milestone."

"Although there is still a lot of work to do, I believe that Milestone is well positioned to begin demonstrating much improved sales growth from our existing product line as our new marketing messages take hold and our market penetration efforts gain greater traction. Moreover, our results-driven game plan for leveraging CompuFlo to introduce innovative new products to the medical industry should provide us with ample opportunities to seek truly dynamic growth in the future," concluded Martin.

The Company will host a teleconference on Tuesday, April 1, 2008, beginning at 9:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time, and invites all interested parties to join management in a discussion regarding the Company's financial performance, corporate progress and other meaningful developments. The conference call can be accessed by dialing toll-free 800-257-7087. For those unable to participate at that time, a replay of the teleconference can be accessed domestically by dialing 800-405-2236 and enter the passcode 11111518#. The replay will be available for 90 days.

WEGENER to Launch New iPump Media Server at NAB 2008Advanced Addressable Media Server to Support Multi-Site Enterprise Video Projects

DULUTH, Ga., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wegener Corporation , a leading provider of equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks worldwide, today announced that the new WEGENER iPump(R) 562 media server will be officially launched at the National Association of Broadcasters 2008 Convention (Booth #SU7911) April 14-17, 2008, in Las Vegas.

Ideal for digital signage, corporate communications and education applications, WEGENER's new iPump 562 media server supports bandwidth-saving features, such as MPEG-4/h.264 video compression, file-based workflows and DVB-S2 satellite demodulation. These features facilitate the creation of customized, high quality high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) video channels for enterprise video projects.

WEGENER's new iPump 562 media server is part of WEGENER's end-to-end control and playout solution that provides a cost-effective approach to supporting any multi-site enterprise video project with high levels of customization per television screen. The complete solution includes WEGENER's iPump Media Servers, IP-based peripheral decoders and Compel(R) network control system for live or file-based broadcasting.

With Compel, unique programming content can be targeted to reach individual retail stores, departments, schools, or hospitals, and can be rapidly updated by central network operators. Employees at display locations do not have to manage or interact with the media servers because all functions and upgrades are scheduled and managed remotely from the Compel network control system at the central operations center. WEGENER iPump video decoders are optimized for high quality video and on-screen graphics, providing a superior viewing experience compared to PC solutions.

"Our new iPump 562 MPEG-4 HD-ready media servers are a powerful complement to our Compel network control system and build upon our years of experience with file-based broadcasting products and systems," said Ned L. Mountain, President and COO of WEGENER. "Together these products enable our customers to target specific messages to multiple retail and enterprise locations. The iPump 562 expands the iPump product line to target enterprise and digital signage solutions where cost is a major factor. This new product utilizes the bandwidth savings from DVB-S2 and MPEG-4 to expand the range of applications where satellite networks can be profitably employed.
