Naval Postgraduate School Holds Successful Tests With Vivato(TM) Networks Wi-Fi Base StationNaval Postgraduate School Revives Wi-Fi Technology Trials after Testing Catcher Holdings' Vivato(TM) Base Station Technology for Military operations and Humanitarian Relief Applications

PORTLAND, Ore., April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Catcher Holdings, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: CTHH) , (http://www.catcherinc.com/ ), a leading provider of standards-based solutions that address high-speed mobile computing for the harshest and most demanding application environments, today announced the successful completion of a third round of tests for the company's extended range Wi-Fi system at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California. The battery of tests, which is part of the Cooperative Operations and Applied Science & Technology Studies (COASTS) international field experimentation program, is designed to determine the best technical methodologies for establishing and maintaining ship to shore, perimeter security and streaming video situation assessment communications to support humanitarian assistance, peacekeeping, and force protection missions.

Gary Haycox, chief executive officer of Catcher Holdings, commented, "We believe the coverage and extended range capabilities of our Wi-Fi base station with Packet Steering(TM) technology is adding new life for Wi-Fi communications. While many still believe that Wi-Fi technology is limited to a communication range measured in hundreds of meters, tests such as these further prove our unique phase array antenna technology is capable of extended range measured in thousands of meters for highly effective outdoor Wi-Fi deployments. We look forward to continued work with NPS and the other COASTS partners to ensure interoperability which ensures pervasive communications in these ground breaking applications."

Ryan Hale, a systems integrator and network engineer with Mercury Data Systems, which was involved in the testing, commented, "Maintaining reliable data communications is critical during catastrophic events, whether natural or man made. We were giving up on Wi-Fi for the requirements of extended range and coverage; however, through experimentation, we have found that the Catcher Holdings, Vivato Wi-Fi solution exceeded our expectations. We have accomplished more in two weeks of testing with the Vivato antenna technology than in the previous three years using other technologies."

The ability to share data across an extended range IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi network potentially enhances tactical humanitarian and military operations in a variety of scenarios. The COASTS program functions to test and evaluate commercial technologies such as the Vivato base station. This year's experiment will occur in South East Asia with numerous international partners focusing in part on maritime and littoral settings and ship-to-shore applications.

China Education Alliance, Inc. Announces Strong Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2007 Results

HARBIN, China, April 1, 2008 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Education Alliance, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CEUA; "China Education Alliance" or "the Company"), a leading distributor of educational resources, offering high-quality programs and training both through online networks and an on-site training center in China, today reported strong financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Fourth Quarter 2007 Highlights -- Total Revenue increased 90% year over year to $4.8 million -- Gross profit rose 113.8% to $4.0 million or 82.6% of sales, compared to 73.4% of sales in the fourth quarter of 2006 -- Operating income totaled $1.1 million, versus an operating loss of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 -- Net loss was $1.4 million, versus net loss of $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 -- Non-GAAP net income grew to record $1.9 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted share Full Year 2007 Highlights -- Total revenue increased 108.1% in 2007 to $17.3 million -- Gross profit increased 139.3% to $13.8 million; gross margin was 79.6% versus 69.2% in year 2006 -- Operating income increased 131% in 2007 to $6.3 million -- Net income was $3.1 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted earning per share -- Non-GAAP net income grew 151% to $6.9 million, or $0.31 per fully diluted earning per share -- Completed a one-for-three reverse stock split went effective on October 12 -- In January 2009, signed a series of strategic collaboration agreements with 35 domestic institutions in Beijing Fourth Quarter 2007 Results

Revenue in the fourth quarter increased to $4.8 million, up 90% from $2.5 million in the prior year, primarily driven by strong growth of both the online education and training center businesses. Advertising income is included in on-line education revenue and its growth is the result of the increased awareness of the Company's website, which resulted in more viewers going to the website. Online education represented 76.4% of total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007 versus 86.5% in the same period in prior year, while the training center business generated the remaining 23.6% of total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007 versus 13.5% in the fourth quarter last year.

"Both our online education and training center businesses have experienced rapid growth during the fourth quarter of 2007; the training center business generated particularly dramatic growth due to our rapid expansion of our vocational education business," commented Mr. Xiqun Yu, Chairman and CEO of China Education Alliance. "The strong growth of our online education business was mainly driven by our success in replicating our online business model to other provinces from our dominant position in Heilongjiang province."

Online education revenue was $3.7 million in the quarter, up 67.8% from $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, reflecting the strong demand for our education materials downloadable through the Internet. Training center revenue for the fourth quarter was $1.1 million, up 232.2% from $341,249 in the fourth quarter last year, mainly driven by more extensive face-to-face tutoring courses for middle and high school students, as well as strong demand for our on-site vocational education services.

Overall cost of sales increased 24.5% to $837,004 in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $672,493 in the same period of 2006. Gross profit increased to $4.0 million in the fourth quarter, up 113.8% from $1.9 million in the same quarter of 2006. Gross margin for the quarter was a record 82.6%, as compared to 73.4% in the same quarter a year ago. The improved gross margin was due to the fact that online education costs are somewhat fixed and margins increase with volume, advertising revenue increased and there were no substantial costs associated with it, as well as decreased payments to lecturers for the training center business. The online education gross margin increased to 85.3% in fourth quarter of 2007 from 75.7% in the same period of 2006. The training center gross margin increased to 73.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 from 58.4% in the same period of last year.

Selling expenses increased 90.1% to $1.8 million, compared to $939,233 in the fourth quarter of 2006, due to increased expenses to build the marketing team and higher debit card agency expenses. General and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $0.9 million, down from $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, primarily due to a decline in bonuses paid in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, G&A expenses decreased to 19% in the fourth quarter, down from 52.8% in the same period of last year.

Operating income in the fourth quarter increased to $1.1 million, from $(453,231) in the same period a year ago. Operating margin was 23.4% in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Net loss for the fourth quarter was $1.4 million, due to $3.5 million in non-cash charges related to the Company's convertible notes and warrants as well as $0.3 million in non-cash liquidation damages related to the May 2007 private placement financing, compared to a loss of $554,409 in the year earlier period. Adjusting for non-cash expenses, fourth quarter of 2007 non- GAAP net income was $1.9 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted share.

Full Year 2007 Financial Results

For the full year 2007, total revenue was $17.3 million, up 108.1% from the prior year. Online education revenue was $13.6 million, up 105.8% from $6.6 million and represented 78.6% of total revenue. The training center business contributed 21.4% of revenue or $3.7 million, up 117.1% from $1.7 million in the full year of 2006. Gross profit for the full year of 2007 was $13.8 million, up 139.3% from gross profit of $5.8 million in the comparable period a year ago. Gross margin was 79.6% compared to 69.2% for the full year of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Income from operations was $6.3 million, up 131% from $2.7 million in the full year of 2006. Net income for the full year 2007 was $3.1 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted share, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted share, in 2006. Non-GAAP net income in 2007 was $6.9 million, or $0.31 per fully diluted share, up 151.4% from non- GAAP net income of $2.7 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted share in 2006.

Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2007, China Education Alliance had $11.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $11.8 million in working capital, and no long-term debt. Shareholders' equity was $18.6 million up from $7.2 million at December 31, 2006. The company generated $8.8 million in cash flow from operating activities in the full year of 2007.

Financial Guidance for 2008

China Education Alliance has targeted revenue for 2008 to be approximately $23.0 million, net income to be in the range of $8.5 to $11.0 million and earnings per share of $0.32 to $0.41, which excludes the impact of any potential future acquisitions the company may make in 2008. Additionally, the forecasted earnings per share is calculated using fully diluted shares of 27.5 million, which assumes conversion of all outstanding preferred stock and warrants. The Company's guidance reflects its expectations for continued strong demand for its online materials and educational services, as well as contributions from recent strategic collaborations and initiatives in its vocational education segment.

Business Outlook

China Education Alliance is now replicating its core online business model from its dominant market position in Heilongjiang to other provinces, by broadening its online product offering through introducing new, downloadable modules, as well as expanding and optimizing its new online gaming platform. Approximately 1.9 million learning debit cards were sold during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

The Company also provides an on-site exam-oriented tutoring business that provides face-to-face exam-oriented tutorship and network video technology courseware resources to middle and high school students, mainly based at the Heilongjiang Zhonghe Education Centre. The Company continues to look for ways to execute its on-site tutoring business expansion plans, to further supplement the online education business.

The vocational education business includes on-site vocational skill training programs for various industries, national standard vocational certification training and exam-oriented courses, as well as career development for graduates. The vocational business segment is expected to accelerate in year 2008 due to more vocational training programs by collaborating or acquiring educational institutions and acting as the official operator of the National Association of Vocational Education of China's (NAVEC) Education Examination Center. The Company signed a series of strategic collaboration agreements with thirty-five domestic education institutions in Beijing in January that cover subjects including remote education, IT training, vocational qualification education and foreign language. The Company began operating NAVEC's Education Examination Center, which has access to the resources of 30,000 famous vocational experts and instructors who are members and it will provide six national standard exam-oriented vocational training courses. To date, over 5,000 students have received vocational training related services. The Company plans to establish over 20 training branches in 2008.

In addition, its "Millions of College Students Employment Crossroads" program is designed to resolve the high jobless rate for China's current graduates. The Company has established a database that currently includes 23,000 graduates and 10,000 corporate profiles, and provides graduates access to employment training services, which should continue to fuel its fast growing vocational business.

"We have experienced robust growth in 2007 compared to 2006 due to strong demand for our online education resources and fast expansion of our on-site tutoring business and vocational education business through a series of strategic collaborations," said Mr. Yu. "We remain optimistic about our outlook for 2008 because our core online business continues to grow steadily and we expect our vocational education business to continue to gain momentum. We plan to establish over 20 vocational training branches in 2008 and we also have plans to enter the language training business this year."

Are We There Yet? AT&T Turns a New Corner With Launch of AT&T NavigatorAT&T Navigator Now Available on a Suite of GPS-Capable Wireless Devices, Including the New MOTO(TM) Z9AT&T Navigator Is Only Mobile Phone-Based GPS Service That Provides Integrated Speech Recognition for Address Entry and Points of Interest Search

LAS VEGAS, April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For any one who is constantly on the go but sometimes not quite sure where to go or how to get there, AT&T Navigator is here to pave the way. AT&T Inc. announced today at CTIA Wireless 2008, the immediate availability of its company-branded GPS-enabled navigation service, AT&T Navigator.

AT&T Navigator is designed to provide you with clear and precise audible and visual turn-by-turn driving directions, including full-color moving maps, using GPS directly from your wireless phone. Working with TeleNav, whose navigation service has been available on AT&T PDAs since 2006, AT&T is now introducing its own branded next-generation GPS navigation service for all consumers. The service is available on GPS-capable PDAs and handsets, including the new consumer-focused Motorola Z9.

"AT&T Navigator offers travelers a more convenient alternative than using printed maps or expensive stand-alone navigation devices by allowing them to use a device they always have with them -- their wireless phone," said Mark Collins, vice president of Consumer Data for AT&T's wireless unit. "AT&T Navigator is an ideal tool for all of our customers, whether they are trying to get directions to a new restaurant uptown, an important business meeting downtown or the high school reunion out of town. It's truly an example of handset personalization and mobilization at its best."

AT&T Navigator offers several other features to make your commute more enjoyable and reliable, including mobile access to YELLOWPAGES.COM. Additionally, AT&T Navigator is the only mobile phone-based GPS service that provides integrated speech recognition for address entry and points of interest search. You simply press a single button on your phone and speak the name of the business or address you want to find, and AT&T Navigator will provide voice and on-screen turn-by-turn directions to your destination. Integrated speech recognition is currently available on BlackBerry devices. AT&T plans to make this feature, along with other value-added services, available on more handsets in 2008 and beyond.

Another great feature of AT&T Navigator, available today on all GPS-capable handsets, is real-time traffic updates and route information available directly from your phone. You can get an estimated time of arrival for every route, plus constant updates as you go along so that you always know how long the trip will take -- and can tell friends when to expect you. AT&T Navigator also provides both flow (average speed of traffic along your route) and incident information (auto accidents, freeway construction, etc.) along your route, so you have the ability to navigate around any issues and save time.

AT&T Navigator also steers you in the right direction by making it easy for you to:

-- Compare gas prices and get directions to the nearest gas stations, which are sorted by lowest to highest price, with the Gas By Price feature. -- Search along your route to find the nearest restaurants, ATMs, shopping malls, Wi-Fi hot spots, and much more by using YELLOWPAGES.COM's database of millions of business locations. As your trusted online source for comprehensive national and local business information, mobile access to YELLOWPAGES.COM gives you the flexibility to search by category or by entering a specific business name. -- Plan your trip before you get into the car by entering your address online from your computer and then synching the address to your phone before you're out the door. When you're ready to get on the road, the address will be right there on your phone, where you need it, and you will receive the same reliable turn-by-turn audio and visual directions to your destination.

A perfect tool for the bustling commuter or business traveler, AT&T Navigator is currently available on the new Motorola Z9 as well as the Samsung BlackJack II, MOTO Q(TM), AT&T Tilt, and BlackBerry devices (8310, 8800 and 8820). AT&T Navigator will also come preloaded on GPS-enabled devices that will be part of the AT&T handset portfolio in the near future; stay tuned.

AT&T Navigator is currently available to AT&T customers with compatible handsets as a free 30-day trial. If you wish to continue the service after the trial period has ended, you can either pay a monthly subscription charge of $9.99 for unlimited routes or, for Motorola Z9 users, you can use the service with the $2.99 Day Pass option.

For more information on AT&T Navigator or any of the compatible handsets, visit http://www.att.com/navigator. To see a demo of the AT&T Navigator service while at CTIA Wireless 2008, visit the AT&T booth at CTIA Wireless 2008, number 3428.

GSI Commerce Delivers Customer Reviews with Measurable, Positive ImpactImplementation of PowerReviews Gives Consumers an Easily Shared, Influential Voice

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A year into their relationship, GSI Commerce Inc. and PowerReviews have successfully implemented online customer reviews and ratings for more than 20 GSI partners - with proven success. GSI, a leading provider of e-commerce and multichannel solutions, teamed up with PowerReviews, an innovative provider of consumer review technology, to offer a flexible, easily implemented customer review capability to support GSI's e-commerce partners. As part of the growing trend of electronic "reality marketing," consumer reviews and product ratings have quickly evolved as key decision making tools for online consumers. For example, since launching PowerReviews, a significant GSI partner generated revenue 18 times greater on average for reviewed products with four-star ratings versus non-reviewed products.

"It's a 'no-brainer' to provide consumer reviews as part of a successful Web store," said Fiona Dias, executive vice president, partner strategy and marketing for GSI. "Giving consumers a voice regarding the products and shopping experience helps generate repeat business for online retailers and encourages shoppers to become 'brand ambassadors.' We're very pleased with the smooth integration and results we've experienced with PowerReviews to date, and we'll continue to work collaboratively to help our partners drive sales and increase brand loyalty by promoting customer reviews throughout their sites."

PowerReviews' tag-based system, unique to its product review technology, enables customers to provide feedback in specific categories, such as product pros, cons, best uses and star ratings. This information can be integrated into site-search functionality, enabling consumers to narrow searches based on customer-submitted product attributes that are important to them, such as "soft" or "easy to assemble." This type of "social navigation" promotes greater customer satisfaction with the purchase and the overall online buying experience by empowering shoppers to easily find products that best meet their specific needs and interests based on insightful and relevant feedback from their peers.

According to a 2007 survey commissioned by Deloitte LLP, consumer product reviews are rapidly becoming the most referenced resource for purchase decision makers. Polling more than 3,330 consumers over the age of 16, the survey revealed that nearly two-thirds of consumers read written product reviews on the Internet. First-hand reviews also have impact beyond the world of Internet retail sales. The survey shows that 69 percent of consumers who read reviews share them with family and friends, thereby directly influencing the buying behaviors of others beyond the reader.

Partner Case Study

Following GSI's implementation of PowerReviews for a leading retailer, a comprehensive case study revealed overall review volume on that partner's Web store more than doubled, with three quarters of the reviews receiving top ratings (4 or 5-stars).

Additional results for this GSI partner are as impressive: -- Positive ratings: 90% of reviewed products have positive ratings of three or more stars. -- Higher revenue: Products with positive ratings had revenue of an average of 11 times higher for those with three- and five-star ratings and 18 times higher for those with four-star ratings, compared to non- reviewed products. -- Lower return rates: Products rated three or more stars also have a significantly lower return rate than products with lower ratings and those without ratings.

"Enabling, organizing and leveraging online consumer reviews is a top priority in the online retail world," said Lauren Freedman, president, the e- tailing group. The e-tailing group's 2007 survey of 1,200 online retail consumers brought to light the growing segment of Internet shoppers identified as "social researchers" who explore and rely heavily upon like-minded customer reviews prior to making purchase decisions. "The bottom line, both literally and figuratively, is that retailers sell more when they enable peer-based feedback. The GSI partner case study data supports the trend that subjective product reviews submitted by 'real' customers make a difference in creating a more satisfying online shopping experience that can lead to increased conversion, higher online sales and reduced return rates."

("RADCOM" or the "Company") (NASDAQ and TASE: RDCM) announced its intention to carry out a reverse share split of its outstanding ordinary shares, the Company today announced that it has called an Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") of the Company to be held on May 6, 2008, at 16:30PM (Israel time), at the offices of the Company, 24 Raoul Wallenberg Street, Tel Aviv, Israel.

"We are initiating this transaction with the goal of enhancing the liquidity of our shares for the benefit of our shareholders," commented Mr. Jonathan Burgin, CFO of RADCOM. "Having completed a successful turnaround in the fourth quarter of 2007, we are working to build the Company to a new level, and therefore believe it is important to maintain our accessibility to the public capital markets and our listing on Nasdaq."

The Meeting is being called to approve certain amendments to the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association in order to enable the Company to effect a one-for-four reverse share split, as well as to approve such one-for-four reverse share split.

NextPhase Wireless Completes First Phase of WiMAX Field Trial in Southern CaliforniaSuccessfully Demonstrates Network Coverage, Greater Bandwidth Throughput, Security, Capacity, Speed and Reliability on IEEE 802.16d Certified WiMAX Equipment

ANAHEIM, Calif., April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NextPhase Wireless, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: NPHS) , a nationwide developer of WiMAX-ready networks and provider of advanced wireless broadband solutions, today announced the successful completion of the first phase of a planned year-long WiMAX field trial in Southern California.

"Completing the first step of this important field trial represents a notable milestone for NextPhase, helping to demonstrate the early strength, reach and performance of our new WiMAX-enabled network, and confirming our ability to deliver cost-effective, reliable, secure and scalable broadband solutions to our growing customer base in Southern California," stated Tom Hemingway, Chairman and COO of NextPhase.

In Phase I of the trial, the Company demonstrated up to 15% greater bandwidth throughput on IEEE 802.16d WiMAX-certified equipment, and succeeded in achieving favorable levels of performance for all material test parameters. Phase II of the trial is set to begin in the next four to six weeks and will test 16d equipment deployment and performance using the 3.65 -- 3.7 GHz spectrum for delivery of NextPhase's full suite of business class wireless broadband services. Phase III will launch in the third quarter and will test 16d equipment on the 29 -- 66 GHz bands. The final phase of the trial, anticipated to be completed by the end of the year, will test 802.16e mobile WiMAX-certified equipment, providing for indoor installation of customer premises equipment without line of sight to NextPhase's radio base stations.

The anticipated year-long field trial will endeavor to confirm a range of key performance metrics involving distance connectivity, building penetration, transmission speeds, quality of service and security using WiMAX-certified equipment over licensed fixed wireless (LMDS -- "Local Multipoint Distribution Service") spectrum acquired late last year in a multi-BTA (Basic Trading Area) agreement with Nextlink Wireless, Inc. This particular WiMAX trial will be conducted strictly in NextPhase's service region in Southern California, but will be duplicated in other key BTAs around the country as the Company continues rolling out its nationwide WiMAX network.

Continuing, Hemingway noted, "Considering we were granted a license by the FCC to provide WiMAX wireless services to customers nationwide, the critical data, knowledge and industry expertise we gain through each successive phase of the trial will prove invaluable in assisting us to ultimately streamline and accelerate the WiMAX conversion of both wired and wireless connectivity platforms that NextPhase currently owns or hopes to acquire in the future."

In January of this year, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) awarded NextPhase a nationwide license to provide WiMAX wireless services in the newly released 3.65 GHz band (3650-3700 MHz). Combined with acquired LMDS spectrum in Atlanta, Georgia; Los Angeles, California; Miami/Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Wilmington, Delaware; Trenton, New Jersey,

the Company is now empowered to offer customers a comprehensive portfolio of business-grade broadband services.

About NextPhase Wireless, Inc.

With a mission to build a device-agnostic, WiMAX-ready, wireless broadband connectivity/content delivery platform serving all 48 contiguous U.S. states, NextPhase Wireless is focused on providing connectivity services and solutions to businesses, public school systems and local government agencies.

Motorola Launches PTP 45600 for U.S. Federal and NATO Wireless BroadbandPoint-to-Point licensed solutions enable connectivity in challenging conditions

WASHINGTON, April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (FOSE, Booth #2115) Motorola, Inc. today announced it has expanded its portfolio of MOTOwi4(TM) Fixed Point-to-Point (PTP) Wireless Ethernet Bridges to include the PTP 45600 Integrated and Connectorized models. The systems provide U.S. Federal Government agencies and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) license holders in the 4.5 GHz band with the bandwidth, performance and reliability they need to support communications in difficult radio-frequency (RF) environments and geographies.

As a rebanded model within the PTP 600 Series family of solutions, the PTP 45600 utilizes the same proven technology that has earned Motorola the number one market share in the unlicensed point-to-point global marketplace. With higher system gain, carrier-class reliability and better spectral efficiency than comparable systems, the PTP 45600 bridges enable U.S. Federal and NATO agencies to establish reliable communications at greater distances, under extreme weather conditions and in harsh RF environments.

"From battlefield communications to border security and video surveillance, Federal and NATO agencies must establish communications in some of the most extreme environments," said Phil Bolt, senior director, Motorola Wireless Broadband Engineering and Product Management. "The PTP 45600 provides a reliable, secure, carrier-class and high performance solution to address the mission critical nature of their operations."

The portable packaging of the wireless bridges make them an excellent tactical solution where there is little time to deploy and tear down a temporary communications network. For longer-term and permanent fixed deployments, the Connectorized model can be configured with external antennas to enable connections up to 124 miles (200 km) in adverse environments, including deep non-line-of-sight and long-range line-of-sight.

The PTP 45600 provides up to 99.999% broadband wireless reliability in very challenging environments, such as traversing miles of obstructed landscapes, crossing large bodies of water or desert terrain, or spanning long-distance line-of-sight paths. The wireless Ethernet bridges also support building-to-building and campus connectivity.

The electronic components of the PTP 45600 models are encased in a robust outdoor enclosure that can withstand temperatures from -40 degrees F to +140 degrees F (-40 degrees C to +60 degrees C) and winds up to 202 mph (325 kph). The small-footprint, lightweight units are fast and easy to install, requiring no special expertise or training. Additionally, the PTP 45600 Integrated and Connectorized models offer selectable channel widths and varying data rates up to 300 Mbps, so operators have the flexibility to configure the system to meet their specific needs.

The PTP 45600 solution is a component of the wi4 Fixed family of broadband solutions, part of the MOTOwi4 portfolio of solutions for public and private networks. The PTP 45600 offers 4.5 GHz licensed capabilities and provides seamless integration with wireless networks that include Motorola's 5.4 and 5.8 GHz Fixed Point-to-Point Wireless Ethernet Bridges as well as other MOTOwi4 solutions including wi4 Fixed PMP, wi4 WIMAX, wi4 Mesh and wi4 Indoor.

The Motorola PTP 45600 Integrated and Connectorized models will be on display at Booth #2115 at the FOSE Conference and Exposition April 1-3 at the Washington Convention Center. For more information on the PTP 45600, visit http://www.motorola.com/ptp.

Micrel Issues Open Letter to Shareholders

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Micrel, Incorporated and its Board of Directors today issued the following letter to its shareholders regarding public letters and filings by Obrem Capital Management ("OCM"), which is apparently a new Micrel shareholder and which has made several proposals to the Company:

Dear Shareholder:

We are writing you in response to recent public statements and proposals by Obrem Capital Management. We believe OCM has made a number of inaccurate and self-serving assertions in their letters and proposals in relation to their efforts to take control of the Company's board of directors. We want to take this opportunity to outline for all shareholders the facts about Micrel and why we believe continuing to execute our strategic plan will deliver superior long-term value for you.

While there is no question that recent market conditions have been challenging across the semiconductor industry, and Micrel has not been immune to these conditions, we have been taking important, measurable steps in recent quarters to ensure the Company continues to outperform our peers and expand market share while continuing to reduce costs and increase profitability. We are excited about the Company's future.

Micrel has increased revenue in 24 out of its 29 years of existence and our ten-year revenue compound annual growth rate of 9.5% has significantly outpaced the overall analog industry growth rate of 6.3%. We are pursuing an R&D strategy to increase our product and design win pipeline that we believe will position the Company for superior revenue growth in the future.

In addition to growing our top line, your Board and management team have, against a backdrop of a challenging time in the semiconductor industry, driven earnings growth through operational improvements. Between 2003 and 2007, we improved our GAAP gross margin from 39.5% to 57.1% and our operating margin from 2.4% to 18.4%, significantly growing GAAP earnings. During the same period, we also improved our return on equity from 1.7% to 18.6%. We continue to take actions to streamline operations and reduce manufacturing costs.

Contrary to OCM's statements, Micrel outsources manufacturing where it makes sense to control costs, including the outsourcing of all of our assembly and over ninety percent of our test operations. We believe there are substantial benefits to both Micrel and customers of our vertically-integrated front-end manufacturing strategy. Our captive wafer fabrication facility, together with third party foundries, allows us to optimize the Company's cost, quality, delivery, customer service, time-to-market, and technology roadmap.

We believe OCM's statements about Micrel's cost structure and operating margins reflect their lack of in-depth knowledge about the industry and that their filings contain factual errors and inconsistencies, such as the mixing of GAAP versus non-GAAP metrics in their comparisons and the use of an extremely narrow and "cherry-picked" set of comparables. As compared to a broader and more representative set of analog companies,(1) our operating margins are in line with or, in the majority of instances, superior to these peers. In 2007, our GAAP operating margin was 18.4%, compared to a median of 13.9% for such peers. The Company's 2007 GAAP SG&A as a percent of sales was 17.5%, placing us at the lower end of the peer group and significantly below the median of 20.5% for our peers. It is also worth noting that Micrel has lowered SG&A expense by more than 20% over the past 8 quarters.

As a result of our sound financial management, our GAAP EPS has grown at a 10-year CAGR of 11.0% and 83.7% over the last five years. We have a long-term record of delivering results, having been profitable on a GAAP earnings basis for 28 of our 29 years of existence.

Source: Company filings; ROE calculated as GAAP Net Income divided by average shareholder equity over the period

At the same time, your Board and management have been investing for future growth. These investments have resulted in the development of industry- leading technologies, such as our patent-pending Hyper Light Load(TM) power capability and the Super LNR(TM) devices, as well as what we believe are the world's fastest switching regulators. We introduced 82 new products in 2007 and believe we have amassed one of the largest patent portfolios of any analog company of similar size. In our opinion, OCM's assertions about the Company's growth and margins completely miss a key point -- our investments are positioning the Company to outpace industry growth. We do not believe that Micrel's stock price today fully reflects this potential.

Micrel's revenue growth and operational efficiency have also driven a strong record of cash flow generation. Over the past 10 years, Micrel has generated close to $580 million in cash flow from operations and has had positive cash flows in each of those 10 years. This has enabled us to repurchase over $280 million in stock since the inception of our share repurchase program, representing more than 25% of our outstanding shares, and to begin paying quarterly dividends to shareholders.

As OCM apparently only commenced acquiring Micrel shares a few weeks ago, the lack of understanding of Micrel's business and the industry is not surprising. However, this obvious lack of knowledge and experience is troubling to the Board and should be troubling to other long-term shareholders as OCM is seeking control of the Company.

According to recent Securities and Exchange Commission filings, OCM has purchased approximately 10.7 million shares of Micrel common stock over the past five weeks at a weighted average cost of approximately $8.01. By undertaking their purchases at prices near our five-year lows, OCM may have different objectives as to their returns. The Board is concerned that OCM is trying to force action to secure their own near-term gain without any reference to Micrel's fundamental value, long-term potential or the interests of all our shareholders.

In addition, OCM has proposed removing your CEO and the entire Board, which includes the Company's largest shareholder. We believe their nominees have very limited semiconductor industry and operating experience and that your directors bring a valuable blend of deep strategic and operational expertise to their work on the Board.

Your Board and the management team are singularly focused on creating shareholder value and in that regard, we are excited about the future. Our optimism about Micrel's future is shared by two of Micrel's long-term shareholders, Messrs. Muller and Zinn, who in aggregate own approximately 30% of the Company and support the full Board and Micrel management.

We will send you in the coming days and weeks additional materials including a proxy statement. In the meantime, should you have any questions please contact MacKenzie Partners, Inc. at (800)-322-2885 Toll-Free or micrelproxy@mackenziepartners.com.

We are committed to taking actions that are in the best interests of ALL our shareholders, and we look forward to continuing to hear your views, while we, in turn, keep you apprised of our progress.

Your Board of Directors, Raymond D. Zinn Michael J. Callahan David W. Conrath Neil J. Miotto Frank W. Schneider

Verizon Wireless Unveils Traffic Avoidance and Other New Features on Popular VZ Navigator Service

LAS VEGAS and BASKING RIDGE, N.J., April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- From CTIA WIRELESS 2008, Verizon Wireless, the owner and operator of the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, and Networks In Motion (NIM), the award-winning wireless navigation and hyper-local search company, announced today that the newest version of VZ Navigator(SM) will be available in April on select consumer phones and Windows Mobile devices. With the new VZ Navigator (Version 4), customers in 75 cities from coast to coast will be able to access traffic incidents, traffic updates and find detours around traffic congestion and accidents; more cities are expected to be added in the coming year. In addition, VZ Navigator will offer 3D perspective view, a movie and events finder, weather reports and forecasts, and gas prices at nearby gas stations.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080331/NYTU040)

Powered by Networks In Motion, Verizon Wireless' VZ Navigator service is a location-based service (LBS) application that utilizes GPS technology and real-time information feeds. When the new version launches in April, customers in 75 cities will be able to access the new traffic integration feature. In these markets, routes will be calculated using both historical and real-time reported traffic information -- the historical information will allow customers to see on average whether the traffic is impacted by traffic lights, heavy traffic or school zones. VZ Navigator's historical data covers over 750,000 miles of roads in 48 states across the nation, making travel time estimates more accurate. The incident and flow information will tell customers how traffic is flowing, and will include details about reported accidents, disabled vehicles and congestion. NIM's Traffic Tracking Center continually monitors conditions along the customers' routes, sending proactive alerts to drivers about conditions ahead of them on their chosen routes. Detour options allow for comparison of ETA and conditions, before selecting a new route. Traffic information is powered by NAVTEQ Traffic.

Lee Daniels, vice president of consumer product development for Verizon Wireless, said, "Real-time reported traffic information and more allows our customers to truly transform their wireless phones into powerful navigation systems, at a fraction of the cost of other GPS devices. When Networks In Motion adds additional functionality to our VZ Navigator service, it enhances our customers' overall wireless experiences."

Other new features customers can expect to see on VZ Navigator (Version 4) include:

-- Local Movies and Events - Customers can now search for show times, critics' ratings and other details for movies, concerts, plays, sporting events and other social events based on the physical location of their phones. -- 3D Perspective View - Enhances navigation by displaying maps from angles customers would see through car windshields, making it easier to visualize turn-by-turn directions. -- Gas Finder - Provides customers with information on the location of gas stations close to their physical location and even provides gas prices at many gas stations in the area. Once a customer selects a station, VZ Navigator can also provide turn-by-turn directions to the selected gas station. -- Weather - Provides current weather conditions and forecasts based on the physical location of their phones without manually imputting an address. Pricing

The newest version of VZ Navigator (Version 4) will be available next month for $9.99 for unlimited monthly access or $2.99 for one-day use on select Get It Now(R)-enabled phones in the Get Going section under Travel & Guides or Featured Apps. In addition, VZ Navigator (Version 4) will also be available on select Windows Mobile devices. Airtime or megabyte charges and specific terms of use apply when browsing, downloading and using the application. Traffic integration is only available in certain areas. Verizon Wireless customers who currently have a subscription to VZ Navigator can get a free upgrade by simply selecting Options from the main screen of VZ Navigator then selecting Check for Updates.

(Pink Sheets: TEVI) (http://www.estatevault.com/), the premier supplier of software solutions that provide a single, secure and easily accessible location for all critical financial and personal information, will launch a multi-million dollar national consumer advertising and public relations campaign in April 2008.

The radio advertising component of the campaign will air 45,000 commercials throughout 2008 in prime time from 6 am to 6 pm, on 250 broadcast radio stations in 39 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The stations are affiliated with the Radio Forecast Network (http://www.radioforecastnetwork.com/), the fastest growing and third largest weather forecasting service for broadcast radio stations.

In exchange for at minimum $1 million in advertising, the Radio Forecast Network, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bentley Commerce Corporation (http://www.bentleycommerce.com/), will receive Estate Vault stock and a share of the revenue its commercials produce.

Radio Forecast Network will also create the commercials designed to bring broad consumer awareness and sales of the Estate Vault's peace of mind solution for keeping important personal and business documents in a single, secure and easily accessible location.

To further involve radio stations in the campaign, Radio Forecast Network will purchase 6,600 "vaults" from Estate Vault, primarily to distribute to listeners as incentive promotions.

"Because of the extraordinary reach and frequency of the radio advertising campaign we are planning, we expect to dramatically increase our sales," says Boyd Soussana, Estate Vault CEO. "By contracting for the commercials in an extremely cost effective manner at this time, we avoid the escalating costs, and even unavailability at any price, for advertising time, that will be driven by the coming Federal, state and local elections."

The radio advertising is part of a strategic marketing plan that includes the production and distribution of national syndicated feature articles in newspapers and on radio about The Estate Vault's peace of mind solutions. The company estimates its entire campaign represents about $4 million in advertising value.

Personal Choice Family Practice Empowers Patients With MedeFile Electronic Medical Records Management Solution"House Call Doc" Intent on Delivering Old Fashioned Medicine with a High Tech Twist

CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MedeFile International, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: MDFI) , a company specializing in portable electronic medical records management solutions, today announced that Personal Choice Family Practice, a new concierge medical practice based in Jupiter, Florida, is teaming with MedeFile to empower their patients with personal convenience and control over the management of their individual and family members' medical records.

"Concierge Medicine represents an exciting new market opportunity for MedeFile, particularly given that it is entirely patient-centric," stated Milton Hauser, founder, Chairman and CEO of MedeFile. "People who make their family's health and wellness a priority in their lives are now demanding new medical care delivery models such as that offered by Personal Choice Family Practice. MedeFile is thrilled to be playing such an active role in helping Personal Choice take the lead in providing a compelling alternative to traditional medical care -- one that focuses squarely on the patient."

Personal Choice Family Practice is led by Lorne S. Stitsky, D.O., known locally as the "House Call Doc." The boutique medical practice was founded to "practice medicine the old fashioned way -- but with a high tech twist." By limiting his practice to only 400 'personal patients' who pay an annual membership fee for guaranteed personalized medical care, Dr. Stitsky is free to focus on meeting the health and wellness needs of each patient enrolled in one of several offered individual and family plans. Personal Choice members enjoy house calls, same day appointments, extended office visits and, thanks to MedeFile, instant access to all their medical records.

Board Certified in Family Medicine and Osteopathy, Dr. Stitsky founded Personal Choice Family Practice with a goal of "putting the care back into health care -- one house call at a time." In his former, more traditional, family medical practice based in West Palm Beach, Florida, Dr. Stitsky provided care for more than 3,000 patients, administering on average more than 30 patient visits each day.

"In that fast-paced, time-constrained environment, ensuring the delivery of superior medical care with any level of consistency unfortunately proved challenging, if not altogether impossible. Moreover, the highly inefficient use of time and resources spent tracking down old medical records, insurance information, test results and critical clinical data from other care specialists who were also treating my patients proved both frustrating and costly," stated Dr. Stitsky. "I knew that there had to be a better way to address the gross administrative inefficiencies that currently plague the traditional healthcare system. The answer is MedeFile."

The MedeFile solution is a proprietary, patent pending solution for gathering and digitizing medical records so that individuals can maintain a comprehensive compilation and historical record of the medical attention they receive from physicians, dental professionals and other care specialists. MedeFile's flagship product is the MedeFile system, a highly secure system designed to gather all of its members' actual medical records and create a single, comprehensive medical record that is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week from any desktop or laptop computer or hand-held web-enabled computing device.

In addition, MedeFile members are each provided with a MedeDrive, a powerful computer storage device containing the member's Emergency Medical Information as well as copies of the actual medical records collected on the member's behalf. All information contained on the MedeDrive can be viewed simply by inserting the MedeDrive into the USB slot of any personal computer, even if it is not connected to the Internet. The MedeDrive contains its own viewer, so no additional programs need to be installed prior to viewing data. It can also store files containing Advanced Directives, Living Wills, DNR Orders, Durable Powers of Attorney and Healthcare Proxies. However, only emergency information can be accessed without proper authorization.

With its advanced, yet user-friendly, approach to portable, electronic medical records management, MedeFile has combined state-of-the-art technology and the Internet to make medical data and ancillary health-related information instantly accessible to each MedeFile subscriber and his or her authorized healthcare providers from anywhere in the world. Personal Choice Family Practice is offering patients a subscription to MedeFile Basic. To date, more than 60% of Dr. Stitsky's current patient base have elected to upgrade to MedeFile Premium, which provides MedeFile's full range of products and services to include Healthy Lifestyle Tools, Audit Trail, Emergency Call Service and Interactive Health Calendar. MedeFile has also co-branded the MedeDrives issued to each of Dr. Stitsky's patients with both MedeFile and Personal Choice logos imprinted on the devices; in addition, MedeFile is providing the practice with a comprehensive marketing package inclusive of co- branded collateral marketing materials backed by comprehensive technical and marketing support.

According to Dr. Stitsky, "The peace of mind that MedeFile makes possible for my patients -- and the convenience, ease of use and invaluable insight it provides me, can not be underestimated. It is proving to be wildly popular with my staff and patients, alike. Consequently, I have very little doubt that MedeFile's revolutionary solution for archiving, managing, updating and providing access to my patients' comprehensive medical records anywhere, anytime, will have the single largest impact on the success of my new practice."

Personal Choice Family Practice will be hosting an "Open House" at its new medical office, located at 4601 Military Trail in Jupiter on Friday, May 2, 2008 from 8:30 AM until 9:00 PM; and on Saturday, May 3, 2008 from 8:30 AM until noon. Dr. Stitsky welcomes the public to meet his staff, tour his 'unconventional' medical facilities that look and feel more like a comfortable living room than an office, and learn more about MedeFile. Senior executives and sales representatives from MedeFile will also be on-site to discuss and demonstrate the MedeFile system.

About MedeFile International, Inc.

MedeFile has developed a proprietary system for gathering and digitizing medical records so that individuals can have access to a comprehensive set of their medical records. MedeFile's primary product is the MedeFile system, a highly secure system for gathering and maintaining medical records.

Representing an advanced, yet easy-to-use, approach to portable, electronic medical records management, MedeFile combines state-of-the-art technology and the Internet to make medical data instantly accessible to each MedeFile subscriber and his or her authorized healthcare providers from anywhere in the world.

The MedeDrive plugs into any USB port of a Windows-based PC; and because MedeDrive automatically loads its own viewer, users do not require any special programs or software to view data.

Absolute Software to Integrate Computrace with Qualcomm's Gobi Global Mobile Internet SolutionAbsolute announces plans to optimize Computrace with Gobi platform, enabling a new level of global notebook security

LAS VEGAS, April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CTIA Wireless Show: Absolute(R) Software Corporation ("Absolute" or the "Company") (TSX: ABT), the leading provider of firmware-based, patented, Computer Theft Recovery, Data Protection and Secure Asset Tracking(TM) solutions today announced plans to adapt Computrace(R) to work with Qualcomm's Gobi(TM) mobile Internet and GPS solution platform. Absolute will demonstrate its services delivered over the Gobi platform at Qualcomm's booth number 1948, Mobile Enterprise Partner Pod, during the CTIA Wireless Show April 1, 2 & 3. This solution will provide enterprises with real-time communications between mobile notebook computers and Absolute's Computrace asset management and security services. The multi-mode capability of the Gobi platform provides enterprises with the flexibility to use Absolute's services on the regional mobile carrier of their choice.

"Absolute continues to build strategic relationships with industry leaders who we believe can help drive adoption of our products and deliver added value to our customers," said John Livingston, Chairman and CEO of Absolute Software. "Qualcomm's Gobi platform is a major step towards anytime, anywhere Internet connectivity on a worldwide basis. As a result, our development of Computrace to work with this platform will enhance the reach of our data delete, theft recovery and asset tracking service capabilities, as well as the speed with which those solutions can be deployed."

Gobi global mobile Internet is a built in solution for notebook computers. Mobile computers featuring the technology can take advantage of high-speed mobile Internet services from network operators in virtually all parts of the world. By adapting Computrace to work with the Gobi solution, time-sensitive operations such as IT audits and remote data delete commands may be carried out on a real time basis - regardless of the computer's location. Computrace customers will also gain access to GPS data for enhanced location determination.

Dave Johnson, Director of IT Strategic Services for Absolute customer Grant Thornton-US, sees value for enterprise customers. "Grant Thornton appreciates Qualcomm and Absolute working to bring improved mobility and security to enterprise customers. Qualcomm's Gobi offering is the type of product that will pave the way for enterprise customers like Grant Thornton to take advantage of broadband wireless without the restriction of being locked into a single carrier - making worldwide connectivity a reality," said Johnson. "Being able to use Absolute's Computrace services with Gobi will provide enterprises with the added security they need to increase mobility on a global scale while also improving protection for mobile client data."

How Computrace Solutions Work

The Computrace(R) Software Agent that powers Absolute Software's solutions is embedded in the BIOS of computers from the world's leading computer manufacturers.(1) It can be activated by customers when they purchase a subscription with terms ranging from one to four years.

When a computer equipped with Computrace is reported stolen, Computrace sends a silent signal over the Internet to Absolute's Monitoring Center, providing critical location information. Absolute then works with local law enforcement to help recover the computer. To date, Absolute has recovered more than 5,000 lost or stolen computers on behalf of its customers.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020718/ORCLLOGO) -- Founded in 1833, McKesson distributes one-third of all medicines used in North America and has applications and IT solutions installed in more than 70 percent of the nation's large hospitals. To provide its customers with continued competitive advantage and improve operations of their highly complex IT environments, McKesson deployed Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 3 in March 2007. -- McKesson sought reliable application management software that would span applications, middleware and databases to enable them to monitor service levels, diagnose issues at any level of the IT stack and proactively alert application customers to potential business impacts. -- With Oracle Enterprise Manager, McKesson reduced the complexity and cost of administering applications and the underlying infrastructure while helping to ensure that all critical care systems meet increasingly stringent availability and performance requirements. -- Oracle Enterprise Manager enables McKesson to better manage its customers' evolving infrastructures, including the ability to: -- Monitor the entire application environment, proactively measure users' experience and identify the root cause of problems regardless of where they occur in the application stack; -- Anticipate potential problems and proactively resolve issues before end-users or service levels are affected; -- Automatically provision new servers to deal with an influx of performance issues, and later de-provision those servers when they are no longer needed; -- Maximize uptime with grid computing capabilities; and, -- Manage changing and disparate environments from a single management system.

Michael Simpson, Senior Vice President and General Manager Horizon Clinicals, McKesson Technology Solutions:

By providing a common top-down approach to managing applications and system components, Oracle Enterprise Manager helps us deliver on our commitment to customers. The results speak for themselves -- better quality of service and improved business performance."
