NETGEAR(R) First to Deliver Dual-Band 802.11n Wireless Access Point for Small and Medium BusinessesThe Full-Featured Business-Class Wireless Access Point Delivers Draft 2.0 Wireless-N at Either 5GHz to Avoid Interference from Legacy 802.11b/g-based Devices or 2.4GHz to Provide Backward Compatibility with Them

LAS VEGAS, April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NETGEAR, Inc. , a worldwide provider of technologically advanced, branded networking solutions, today announced the launch of the ProSafe 802.11n Dual Band Wireless Access Point (WNDAP330), a feature-rich dual-band wireless solution that enables small and medium businesses to enjoy the enhanced speed and coverage benefits of 5GHz 802.11n wireless technology and provides the ability to support existing legacy 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11a devices.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030730/NETGEARLOGO)

The NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11n Dual Band Wireless Access Point (WNDAP330), which delivers up to 10 times the coverage and 15 times the speed of 802.11g-based networks, supports devices based upon the 5GHz 802.11a and 802.11n (draft 2.0 specification), or 2.4GHz 802.11b/g and 802.11n (draft 2.0 specification) technologies. The SNMP-manageable WNDAP330 incorporates 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support to eliminate power cables and simplify installation, and is ideal for deployment over large areas with support for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint bridging with Wireless Distribution System (WDS). The WNDAP330 secures the wireless network with a comprehensive feature set including WPA, WPA2, rogue AP detection, and 802.1x with RADIUS support.

"The promised benefits of Wireless-N networks are not being realized in many companies due to the existence of 11b and 11g clients in the network. The backward compatibility of the N standard has the consequence of lowering network performance while there are older laptops with integrated G adapters, wireless hand-held scanners, WiFi phones, wireless print servers, or any of the many wireless B or G clients around. To achieve full Wireless-N performance, companies are moving APs and clients to the uncongested 5GHz band where there are fewer legacy devices," explained Peter Newton, NETGEAR Director of Product Marketing for SMB Security and Wireless Products. "The ProSafe 802.11n Dual Band Wireless Access Point, which supports both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz frequency bands, is the first in its class to offer 5GHz 802.11n support and provides businesses with an easy-to-manage solution for seamlessly transitioning the network infrastructure from 802.11g to 802.11n."

The NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11n Dual Band Wireless Access Point (WNDAP330) incorporates a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet port with Auto Uplink(TM), a console port for local configuration and monitoring, and three detachable antennas (two 5dBi and one 3dBi). For ease-of-installation and placement, the WNDAP330 is plenum-rated for safe and convenient placement above drop-down ceilings and features 802.3af PoE to eliminate the need for a dedicated power outlet.

The WNDAP330 is easily managed and configured using the ProSafe Control Center Web browser-based interface or via SNMP MIB I, MIB II and 802.11 MIB using network management software, such as NETGEAR's ProSafe Network Management System (NMS100). In addition to supporting all popular 802.1x port-based authentication protocols including Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Transport Layer Security (TLS), Protected EAP (PEAP), and Tunneled TLS (TTLS), the WNDAP330 provides an extensive security feature set including WPA, WPA2, WEP, wireless access control, MAC address authentication, VPN pass-through support, secure SSH telnet, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) remote management login.

The NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11n Dual Band Wireless Access Point (WNDAP330) is backed by a lifetime warranty and is immediately available via leading direct marketers, e-commerce sites and value added resellers at a list price of $475.

NETGEAR(R) Grows Industry-Leading Family of ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switches With Family of Advanced Solutions to Provide Small and Medium Businesses with an Alternative to Fully Managed SwitchesThree New ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switches Offer Static Routing and Advanced Feature Sets to Deliver Robust Security, Enhanced Traffic Management and Increased Network Availability to Support Critical Bandwidth-Intensive Business Applications

LAS VEGAS, April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NETGEAR, Inc. , a worldwide provider of technologically advanced, branded networking solutions, today announced the expansion of its industry-leading family of ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switches with the introduction of three advanced Smart Switches at Interop 2008. Designed to deliver robust security and enhanced traffic management and availability to growing networks in small and medium businesses, the ProSafe 24- and 48-Port Gigabit Smart Switches with Static Routing (GS724TR and GS748TR) and 24-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with Advanced Features (GS724AT) are feature-rich, affordable, reliable, and easy-to-manage alternatives to fully-managed switches.

NETGEAR's new ProSafe Advanced Smart Switches (GS724TR, GS748TR and GS724AT) add advanced capabilities to the growing family of ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switches which includes the ProSafe 24- and 48-Port Gigabit Stackable Smart Switches (GS724TS and GS748TS), ProSafe 24- and 48-Port Gigabit Smart Switches with PoE (GS724TP and GS748TP), and ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch (GS108T). The new ProSafe Advanced Smart Switches, which are covered by NETGEAR's ProSafe Lifetime Warranty, deliver more robust security, higher quality of service (QoS) and high availability through an advanced feature set that includes Access Control Lists (ACL), 802.1x port authentication, rate limiting, IGMP snooping and Rapid Spanning Tree providing businesses with a scalable, reliable network that is geared for growth. NETGEAR's user-friendly Web-based ProSafe Control Center provides simple, yet comprehensive management through a streamlined interface that eases navigation, delivers basic and advanced views for different user types, and provides index and help functions.

Designed to ease congestion at the core of mid-sized business networks, the ProSafe 24- and 48-Port Gigabit Smart Switches with Static Routing (GS724TR and GS748TR) are the first Smart Switches in the industry to provide static routing capability. By using static routing to offload inter-VLAN routing traffic from the core, businesses can deploy the GS724TR and GS748TR to optimize bandwidth efficiency by freeing up the router for WAN and security traffic. The GS724TR and GS748TR, which feature 24 or 48 10/100/1000 ports and two or four shared SFP ports, support 32 static routes to enable inter-VLAN routing, manage broadcast storms more effectively and deliver tighter security.

The NETGEAR ProSafe 24-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with Advanced Features (GS724AT) provides small and mid-sized companies with management capabilities at an affordable price, providing the features found in fully managed switches without the associated cost and complexity of a fully-managed solution. The GS724AT incorporates 24 10/100/1000 ports and four combination SFP ports for optional fiber connectivity enabling businesses to deploy essential as well as advanced business applications such as security, ERP, wireless, Voice over IP (VoIP), and more. This switch also provides advanced features such as Access Control Lists (ACL) for increased security, Layer 3 based QoS for enhanced traffic prioritization, Auto Voice VLAN for 'Plug and Play' deployment of VoIP, and Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) for increased availability.

"Growing small and medium businesses are continually faced with the challenge of maintaining and growing scalable, reliable and affordable network infrastructures to support an increasing array of advanced applications such as ERP systems, wireless and converged communications systems," stated Sanjay Kumar, NETGEAR's Director of Product Marketing for Switching Products. "Security is a growing need with SMB customers, as is the need to prioritize applications. The addition of the Advanced Smart Switch products to our popular ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switch family provides small and mid-sized businesses with advanced, affordable and easy-to-manage alternatives to fully-managed switches. These advanced switches enable companies to gain better control and improve the efficiency of the network infrastructure while delivering the performance, functionality and value that have established our ProSafe Smart Switch line as an industry leader."

About the New NETGEAR ProSafe Advanced Smart Switches

The NETGEAR ProSafe 24- and 48-Port Gigabit Smart Switches with Static Routing (GS724TR and GS748TR) and ProSafe 24-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with Advanced Features (GS724AT) provide advanced security, advanced quality of service, and "smart" management features to growing small and medium businesses. Scalable, flexible and reliable, the high-performance ProSafe Advanced Smart Switches support the full range of network applications and secure the network without the overhead and complexity of fully managed switches. Easily managed through an intuitive, web-based GUI, users can save time and resources while being able to gain more control over the network and support advanced applications.

The GS724TR and GS748TR are designed to provide effective bandwidth management for organizations that deploy VLANs. With the ability to support 32 static routes, companies can off-load inter-VLAN communication from the core router making the network run faster and enabling companies to deploy a less expensive router in the core of the network.

The GS724TR, GS748TR and GS724AT provide enhanced security to SMB networks through support for 802.1x authentication and ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic based upon MAC and/or IP addresses. An extensive set of QoS features includes 802.1p-based prioritization, Layer 3-based (DSCP, TOS) prioritization, Layer 4-based (TCP/UDP port numbers) prioritization, and rate-limiting. Finally, Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) provides increased availability.

The ProSafe Advanced Smart Switches are optimized for use with NETGEAR's ProSafe Network Management Software (NMS100), but can also be managed through an easy-to-use Web console that can be used to configure, monitor and troubleshoot the switches.

The ProSafe Advanced Smart Switches are backed by a lifetime warranty and optional ProSupport Maintenance Packages. The GS724TR, GS748TR and GS724AT are immediately available via leading direct marketers, e-commerce sites and value added resellers at list prices of $925 USD, $1,665 USD and $575 USD, respectively.

SouthPeak Interactive to Access the Public Markets Through Transaction With Global Services Partners Acquisition Corp.One of the Fastest Growing Videogame Publishers to Expand Product Offering and Global ReachClass B Common Stock Automatically Converted on April 25 Termination Date into Right to Receive Cash Distribution from Trust Fund

MIDLOTHIAN, Va., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SouthPeak Interactive, LLC ("SouthPeak") and Global Services Partners Acquisition Corp. ("GSPAC") (BULLETIN BOARD: GSPA, GSPAW, GSPAZ) jointly announced today that they have agreed to a transaction under which SouthPeak's shareholders shall acquire a majority of the common stock of GSPAC thereby enabling SouthPeak to access the public markets.

SouthPeak and GSPAC anticipate that a related institutional financing along with a business consolidation will occur in May 2008, which will value SouthPeak at $35 million and result in the anticipated issuance of 35 million shares to the SouthPeak shareholders. Upon closing of these related transactions, GSPAC will change its name to SouthPeak Interactive Corporation. The existing executive management team of SouthPeak, Terry Phillips and Melanie Mroz, will then become, respectively, Chairman and CEO of the new company.

SouthPeak is a fast growing video game publisher with a unique production model that exclusively utilizes independent studios to source and produce innovative video games. This model allows the company to leverage leading- edge development talent and minimize fixed overhead, thereby maximizing operational flexibility and profits. SouthPeak expects to exceed its previously announced forecasts of $30 million in revenue for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 (representing 140% growth over fiscal year 2007 revenue) and approximately $4.5 million in fiscal year 2008 EBITDA.

Abhishek Jain, President of GSPAC, said, "We are pleased that we have been able to complete a transaction with SouthPeak despite the challenging market for SPAC business combinations. We believe this transaction, together with the anticipated financing and restructuring, will be extremely favorable for our various stakeholders, preserving value for our common shareholders as well as our warrant holders, while also providing for the prompt distribution to our Class B shareholders of their pro rata shares of the trust fund distribution." As of April 10, 2008, there was $5.36 per share in trust.

Terry Phillips, Chairman of SouthPeak, said, "These transactions will bring SouthPeak public at an opportune moment in the video game industry. We are delighted by investor support we have been receiving for our unique operating model that leverages an expanding universe of game developers to maximize profits and creative potential." Phillips continued, "The capital provided under the institutional financing commitments we have received will allow us to accelerate our strategy of expanding our product portfolio and continue to outpace the industry in terms of top and bottom-line growth. SouthPeak is very well positioned to deliver unique and profitable game concepts and drive substantial shareholder value as a result."

The video game industry is growing rapidly with U.S. video game software sales expected to grow from $6.5 billion in 2006 to $13.6 billion in 2009, according to Goldman Sachs. Global video game software sales are expected to grow to $55 billion by 2009 as reported by PriceWaterhouseCoopers.

At a meeting of GSPAC's shareholders completed on April 25, 2008, a number of Class B common shares representing in excess of 20% of the outstanding shares of such class voted against the business combination previously contemplated. After giving effect to the cancellation of GSPAC's Class B Common Stock, effective on the April 25, 2008 Termination Date as provided by GSPAC's Certificate of Incorporation, but before giving effect to the transaction announced today in which 1 million shares were issued to SouthPeak shareholders, there will be 920,100 shares of the GSPAC common stock outstanding. In addition, there will be outstanding 7,517,500 Class W warrants and 6,137,500 Class Z warrants, including the publicly traded Class W and Class Z warrants, as well as a purchase option issued in connection with GSPAC's initial public offering. The transaction announced today has been unanimously approved by the Board of GSPAC, but is subject to certain closing conditions which the parties believe will be satisfied within two weeks.

New Products Driving Growth at myPhotopipe.com, Inc.Break-out Successes Include PRPrintsPro

ATLANTA, April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- myPhotopipe.com, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MPPC), a web-based online provider of digital photo processing and related services, today reported upon the role that new products are playing in its recent sales growth and strategy for future success.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080325/CLTU023)

New products are the lifeblood of any company, but the risks associated with them can be daunting, so much so that management is often forced into playing it safe. Not so at myPhotopipe.com. In 2007 the Company introduced over 800 new items, including a revamped line of Gallery Wraps and its PRPrintsPro product line. Data released today indicate that these new products are already paying healthy dividends to myPhotopipe.com, Inc. -- a fast-growing online photo processor that caters to serious amateur and professional photographers.

Most impressively, PRPrintsPro, a line of prints used by celebrities and professional sports organizations, grew by more than 144% between the first and second half of 2007, accounting for 8% of the Company's revenues in the final six months of the year. Meanwhile, sales of Gallery Wraps, a popular finish that wraps canvas prints around wood stretcher bars, increased 27%, from 3.7% of Company revenues in 2007, to 4.7% of sales during the first quarter of 2008. Taken together, these two new products accounted for 11.7% of myPhotopipe.com's revenues in the second half of 2007.

"PRPrintsPro represents an excellent example of how we look at processes and try to make them easier, faster and cheaper," stated L. Douglas Keeney, Chief Executive Officer of myPhotopipe.com, Inc. "People know we deliver quality, but the digital revolution is about making things easier. Surprisingly enough, there's a lot of pain in making a print for a celebrity to autograph -- finding the photo, cropping it just so, appending the brand or logo, adding the person's name, getting the spelling right, maybe including the logo or brand of a co-sponsor. Our software eliminates that pain, simplifies the process and cuts our costs, providing benefits that we then pass along to our customers. Considering the thousands of celebrities, professional athletes, memorabilia shows, sports organizations, fantasy camps, TV stations and more, we think this product has the makings of a multi-million dollar business for the Company."

PRPrintsPro was tested in the first half of 2007 and formally launched in June of that year. It was quickly adopted as the ordering platform for the media or community relations departments of many professional sports and entertainment organizations, including the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants, the Tennessee Titans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Feld Entertainment (Disney-on-Ice and High School Musical) and more.

The Company has aggressively launched new products for serious photographers since its conversion to a digital processor. "It is not about putting your photo on a mouse pad," observed Keeney. "That's a manufacturing approach, not a technology approach. It's that same old 'put-your-logo-here' stuff we've seen for years. Digital photo tools are all about having your photograph printed your way. Borders? Captions? Different substrates? Panoramics? We give photographers the technology to convert their digital images into these formats without using photo processing software and without learning how to design or scale a print. Prints from digital images are now a multi-billion dollar business that is growing 27% a year. Our approach is to gain customers by applying technology to let them have it their way or better and to pass the savings on to them."

"Gallery Wraps represented less of a risk, because they caught a 'wave' that we thought was welling up in our industry," continued Keeney. "It's a beautiful finish on museum-quality canvas that can hang on a wall in an instant. Companies such as Rosetta Stone, Georgia Tech and numerous others have propelled Gallery Wrap sales to new highs, and we think the best is yet to come."

Designed to meet the needs of SOHO, micro businesses and growing small and medium businesses (SMB), NETGEAR will be displaying and demonstrating the new advanced business-class networking solutions in booth 1343 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, April 29 to May 1, 2008.

NETGEAR is debuting five industry-first network solutions designed to meet the unique demands of growing SMBs including the ProSafe 24- and 48-Port Gigabit Smart Switches with Static Routing (GS724TR and GS748TR), ProSafe 24-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with Advanced Features (GS724AT), ProSafe 802.11n Dual Band Wireless Access Point (WNDAP330), and ReadyNAS Pro 6-Bay Gigabit Desktop Storage (RNDP6000).

Broadcom Announces the Industry's Highest Performance and Lowest Power Dual 10GBASE-KR PHY for Backplane ApplicationsIndustry's First 65nm Dual KR-to-XAUI PHY Enables 10, 2.5 and 1 Gigabit Ethernet on Existing Low Cost Backplane Infrastructures

LAS VEGAS, April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interop 2008 -- Broadcom Corporation , a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced the industry's highest performance and lowest power 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) PHY in support of the IEEE 10GBASE-KR standard for running 10 Gbps (Gigabits per second) serial data over backplane systems. The new dual physical layer (PHY) device extends the life of today's existing systems that use four lanes to carry 10 Gbps (XAUI) data rates by providing a four times bandwidth improvement per channel. Today's announcement further extends Broadcom's comprehensive portfolio of field proven and complete end-to-end 10GbE solutions featuring switching products, PHYs and controllers. Broadcom will be demonstrating its 10GBASE-KR PHY solution at Interop 2008.

Today's blade servers and advanced telecommunications computing architecture (ATCA) equipment are self-contained, modularly designed computing systems that typically use a chassis, common backplane and Ethernet connectivity to transfer voice, video, data and multimedia within the system. However, these computing systems can only support single-channel, low bandwidth capabilities (using 1000BASE-X or 1000BASE-KX standards), or four- channel, low bandwidth per channel capabilities (using the 10GBASE-KX4 standard).

With today's higher bandwidth applications (such as virtualization, security/encryption and multimedia), as well as the need to preserve existing systems running at 1 Gbps or XAUI data rates, serial 10 Gbps data must now be driven across the backplane. Broadcom was the first silicon vendor to address this market requirement in 2007 and is now introducing its second generation product that supports the new 10GBASE-KR standard for backplane systems.

Announced today is the Broadcom(R) BCM8073 dual serial 10GBASE-KR-to-XAUI backplane PHY that builds upon five generations of field proven 10GbE serial PHY technology. Designed using 65 nanometer (nm) CMOS process technology that provides the industry's highest level of integration and lowest power consumption, the BCM8073 is an all digital signal processing (DSP)-based 10GbE PHY that provides enterprise data centers with higher bandwidth and performance, as well as significant savings in cost, resources and manpower when upgrading to 10GbE links. The BCM8073 has been verified on more than 300 existing backplane channels and has more than 3dB of margin over the worst case channels encountered in the customer base. The performance surpasses competing analog solutions that cannot sufficiently operate error free over these types of backplane channels.

"Demand for increased bandwidth is growing in every market segment from consumer to enterprise to service/content providers as newer 10GbE technologies become more cost effective," said Lorenzo Longo, Senior Director and General Manager of Broadcom's High-Speed Interconnect Products line of business. "Broadcom is the only silicon provider that offers a complete line of networking components (switches, physical layer devices (PHYs) and controllers) needed to build an end-to-end 10GbE-based data center. As such, we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of the significant growth in this market."

Technical Information

The BCM8073 dual serial 10GBASE-KR-to-XAUI backplane PHY is the highest performing solution in the market exceeding the IEEE requirements for the 10GBASE-KR standard and has the ability to drive over 40 inches of FR-4 with 3 backplane connectors. Its all DSP-based architecture allows diagnostic tools to monitor system and channel parameters such as insertion loss, channel frequency response, equalizer response and frequency offsets, in addition to key performance metrics such as bit error rate (BER) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Other key features include:

* All DSP-based architecture with a fully adaptive datapath, which continuously adapts to changes in the backplane environment such as temperature variations and crosstalk. * Multi-rate with support for 10GBASE-KR, 1000BASE-KX and 2.5 Gbps applications with auto-negotiation. * Auto programmability with 10G transmitter pre-emphasis support. * Integrated forward error correction (FEC) capabilities. * Low power: 1.2 Watts. Industry's Most Comprehensive 10 Gigabit PHY Portfolio

The new BCM8073 10GBASE-KR PHY and BCM8481 10GBASE-T PHY (also announced today) secure Broadcom's position as the only silicon provider in the industry with a complete line of 10G PHY products supporting backplane, twisted pair and optical front panel applications. 10G optical front panel products include the BCM8726, BCM8706, BCM8724 and BCM8705. Broadcom's comprehensive product portfolio includes support for all 10G PHY standards: 10GBASE-T, 10GBASE-KR, 10GBASE-LRM, 10GBASE-SR/LR and 10GBASE-ER/ZR.

Green by Design

Broadcom and its foundry partners are leveraging today's most advanced lithographic node for manufacturing semiconductors. By designing solutions in 65nm process technology, Broadcom is able to provide significant environmental benefits over competitive solutions in 90nm and 130nm processes by enabling lower power consumption, smaller size and higher yields while providing higher levels of integration that result in fewer components. Additionally, Broadcom supports the current industry initiatives to remove lead (Pb) and other hazardous materials, such as halogens like bromide and chlorine, from all products. With the depth and breadth of Broadcom's advanced portfolio of market-proven IP, the company is able to drive innovative new products to market while reducing the impact on human health and the environment.

ICSA Labs to Test Security for New Cellular and Internet Protocol TechnologiesTesting is Focus of Fourth Annual IP Security Forum

MECHANICSBURG, Pa., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- ICSA Labs, an independent division of Verizon Business, will test the security aspects of new cellular and Internet protocol technologies at the fourth annual Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) forum next month.

The event, to be held by ICSA Labs May 19-23 in San Antonio, Texas, enables security vendors to test new products that work with the latest security-related protocol, called Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2). ICSA Labs will focus on testing two new technologies: femtocells and IPv6.

Femtocells are small mobile base stations that enable standard cellular devices to connect to a mobile carrier's network through a broadband connection, which results in more capacity and improved service, especially indoors. This emerging technology is quickly advancing to market, and ICSA Labs testing will assist vendors in verifying that femtocell devices are secure and interoperable.

IPv6 is the next-generation protocol for the Internet, and one key attribute of this technology is its built-in security functionality. ICSA Labs will use the forum to test the interoperability of IPsec for IPv6 to help companies prepare their networks as they move from IPv4, the current Internet standard.

Industry experts expect IPv6 to pick up momentum in the coming months. On June 30, all federal government agencies must add IPv6 capability as mandated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). IPv6 can support a virtually unlimited number of IP addresses -- a critical need as the number of networks and devices using the Internet continues to grow.

"Our previous forums have been extremely successful, enabling vendors to collect valuable data about their products and learn how they work with other products," said George Japak, managing director, ICSA Labs. "Many vendors have continued their commitment to providing secure and interoperable products by certifying their IPsec IKEv2 products with ICSA Labs."

For more information about the ICSA Labs IKEv2 Interoperability Workshop IV, please visit http://www.icsalabs.com/ipsec.

About ICSA Labs

ICSA Labs, an independent division of Verizon Business, offers vendor-neutral testing and certification of security products. Many of the world's top security vendors submit their products for testing and certification at ICSA Labs. Businesses rely on ICSA Labs to authoritatively set and apply objective testing and certification criteria for measuring product compliance and reliability.

This represents a new reported PCU record in the Chinese online game industry.

Mr. Yuzhu Shi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Giant, commented, ''Although our flagship game ZT Online has been commercially launched for over two years now, we have continued our enhancement efforts of the game via constant improvements and new feature releases, in accordance to our focused strategy and our five year R&D game enhancement plan for ZT Online. As a result, we are very pleased to see that our player numbers have continued to grow substantially within a short period of time. This is an excellent testament to our strategy and R&D plan, and we expect to continue our enhancement efforts for ZT Online moving forward.''

Mr. Xuefeng Ji, General Manager of the ZT Online Business Unit, commented, ''Our robust R&D strength, as well as our deep understanding and constant analysis of our gamers has enabled us to introduce new gameplay features in accordance with gamers' preferences. For example, ZT Online has pioneered features such as the 'salary system' for non-paying accounts to stay more competitive against their paying rivals. Recently, we have also introduced the Neighboring Friends expansion pack to display the physical locations of the gamers in order to promote social networks and to expand our overall community. Leveraging upon our proprietary server technology, ZT Online shards can now encompass over 40,000 concurrent players. For example, one of the shards named 'Tian Ma Zai Xian' alone has sustained 43,297 PCU recently, which to our knowledge, represents a new reported PCU record for a single shard within the Chinese online game industry. This expanded in-game community has attracted many new players to join, thus contributing to the continued growth momentum of ZT Online.''

LSI to Form Multi-Service Business Gateway AllianceMSBG solutions to enable quad-play service delivery for SMB and enterprise remote branch office customers

MILPITAS, Calif., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI Corporation today announced an initiative to form a multi-service business gateway (MSBG) alliance and the availability of a reference platform to enable rapid development of MSBG solutions. The formation of the alliance represents an industry-wide effort among founding members that include service, system and components providers. The primary mission of the new alliance is to accelerate the development of MSBG systems and complete solutions for service providers.

"Managed business services represent a key growth opportunity for service providers," said Ibrahim Gedeon, chief technology officer, Telus. "The MSBG alliance and reference platform can help accelerate the delivery of managed services to business customers and will play an important role in defining next-generation solutions."

MSBG solutions can replace PBX, media gateways, Internet access devices, firewalls and routers with a single, cost-effective multi-service platform. Using MSBG technology, service providers will be able to offer small and medium business (SMB) customers access to enterprise-grade managed services and provide enterprise customers with access to corporate-level voice, video and data services at remote branch office (RBO) locations.

"Customer demand for multiple services consolidated into fewer devices at the Internet gateway is growing," said Abner Germanow, director of Enterprise Networking Research at IDC. "Reducing hardware footprint is a big first win and IDC expects new value to emerge from functions that operate more effectively together when paired on a common platform."

MSBG solutions deliver integrated services including secure, unified communication, high-speed connectivity and mobility by consolidating routers, gateways and access devices. As a result, service providers who deploy MSBG platforms will be better equipped to deliver new applications and managed services to SMB and RBO locations.

"LSI and other MSBG alliance members are creating the open technology platform to deliver high-performance solutions for the emerging hosted business services market," said Tony Pereira, business leader, Business Communications Portfolio, Nortel. "Nortel is excited about leading with our Business Services Gateway into this segment."

Charlie Kawwas, vice president of segment marketing, Networking and Storage Products Group, LSI, said, "Early on, LSI recognized the potential of the MSBG market, but also realized that a reference platform and solution delivery alliance were necessary for the market to flourish. Through the combined efforts of MSBG alliance members, service providers will now have the technology required to deliver new managed business services at a much faster pace."

LSI will showcase its MSBG solutions at Interop 2008, April 28 to May 1, in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, Nev. Alliance members will showcase their solutions in the LSI booth, Palm H, and will announce their participation during Interop 2008. On Tuesday, April 29, at 10:15 a.m. at Reef E, Kawwas will be joined by Pereira, where they will jointly present the session Managed Services: The Real-Time Tipping Point. This session will explore the new services and efficiencies enabled by the application of MSBG systems.

Lockheed Martin Promotes Secure Coding Best Practices with SANS Institute PartnershipWill Introduce New Employee Certification for Software Developers to Assure Secure Coding

GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin is partnering with the SANS Institute to reduce cyber security vulnerabilities that may be introduced during software development. Through a new certification program and training initiatives, Lockheed Martin developers will be given new skills to further enhance the security of the code they write.

Initially, the SANS Lockheed Martin project will allow Lockheed Martin to assess the secure coding skills of 75 programmers, provide training to improve their skills, and certify its developers through a rigorous certification exam. Based on the results of the assessment and training, the program may be expanded to train a broader developer workforce.

"We are pleased to see Lockheed Martin adopt the GSSP certification and become the first systems integrator to provide its customers with assurance that the people building applications actually understand how to write secure code," said Alan Paller, Director of Research, SANS Institute. "Using industry standard certification for secure application development is essential to delivering secure solutions to customers," he said.

Lockheed Martin developers will be offered assessments, skills development, and certification for secure coding through the SANS Institute. The new Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) Secure Software Programmer (GSSP) examinations offered by SANS reliably measure mastery of the essential competencies for secure programming developed by the Secure Programming Council, a global consortium of individuals and organizations. The examinations use questions with real code examples, are currently available for Java, C and .NET developers, and are offered through SANS Institute.

"Lockheed Martin integrates all aspects of information assurance into every solution it delivers and continues to invest in proactive security measures," said Dr. Eric Cole, Senior Cyber Security Fellow, Lockheed Martin IS&GS. "We are committed to improving secure software development practices and are certifying our employees who are working in the area of cyber security on customer programs," he continued.

Secure coding best practices can reduce risk to Federal agencies that depend on Internet-facing web applications to deliver service to the citizen. Carnegie Mellon estimates that up to 90 percent of reported security incidents result from the exploitation of defects in software code or design.

Established in 1989, The SANS Institute is the trusted source for information security training, research and certification. With a community of more than 165,000 and over 15,000 students in 30 countries each year, it is also the largest. SANS also develops, maintains, and makes available at no cost, a large collection of information security related research documents and it operates the Internet's early warning system, The Internet Storm Center (http://www.isc.org/).

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

Raytheon Inspires Students With New Virtual World of Math Via MathMovesU.com- Recent poll confirms math interest wanes in middle school -

WALTHAM, Mass., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent national survey of middle school students revealed that interest in math tends to wane during the crucial middle school years. This finding supports the critical need for tools like MathMovesU.com to keep children interested in math at an early age.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080428/NEM016 )

In a Raytheon Company-commissioned survey by Zogby International of children in sixth-to-eighth grade, 79 percent of 11-year olds like math. However, among 14-year olds, that number drops to 65 percent. Twenty-nine percent list math as their favorite subject, but enthusiasm in sixth grade (33 percent) drops by the time students are in eighth grade (24 percent). Twenty- nine percent of all middle school students cite math as their least favorite subject (28 percent of sixth graders vs. 32 percent of eighth graders).i This declining math interest continues throughout high school and college and, ultimately, prevents students from pursuing math and science careers.

As a consequence, Raytheon has revitalized its MathMovesU.com, the first math-based virtual world aimed at addressing the math education crisis in the United States by engaging middle school students.

Found at http://www.mathmovesu.com/, this new virtual world captures the imaginations of middle school students, fueling their interest in math by providing rich content tied to kids' life passions. Through research and focus groups, Raytheon identified music, fashion and sports as the three categories of interest that appeal to the broadest set of middle school students and developed virtual worlds on each of these subjects.

Students interact with each world through games, quizzes, polls and "factoids," which help to illustrate the math inherent in both the virtual and real world. Additionally, an online resource center in the site called MathMovesUniversity offers math help to students and additional content for teachers. The site uses customizable avatars, a virtual points system and digital download prizes to give the students the type of experience found on gaming and interactive sites.

"I am impressed with MathMovesU.com's capabilities in providing a supplemental educational resource for middle school students," said Brent Edwards, gifted-ed coordinator and math teacher, Desert Sky Middle School, Vail School District, Ariz. "Raytheon has provided my students with a novel tool, closely aligned with state and national standards, to help them learn and be excited about math at the same time. I'm confident that students will benefit from using the site."

"Raytheon believes that tomorrow's technologists and innovators need to be excited about math throughout their educational career and more specifically in middle school where interest typically drops," said Kristin Hilf, Raytheon vice president of community relations and corporate giving. "MathMovesU.com provides us with an opportunity to interact with kids in a hands-on way to enable them to unlock their own passion for math and science and use it to unlock doors in their future careers."

MathMovesU.com is the focal point of Raytheon's MathMovesU program, launched in the Fall of 2005. MathMovesU was created by Raytheon to help reverse the trend in declining math scores among American middle school students. The program encourages students to realize their math potential and reinforces their math skills through hands-on interaction including live events, mentoring and tutoring programs and competitions. Since the program's inception, MathMovesU has awarded more than $2 million in grants and scholarships to students, teachers and schools.

Zogby survey findings include: -- General attitudes about math are improving. Seventy-two percent of middle school students said 'they like math.' -- Students want a more active learning experience to make math more fun. Sixty-six percent of the surveyed students indicated that active learning (e.g. playing games and having hands-on interaction with real life examples) would make math more fun and interesting. -- The engineering field has a brand identity problem among middle school students. Most students have no idea how to define engineering. When asked what they think engineers do, students' responses ranged from 'drives a train' to 'operates machinery.' Only four percent of students say that engineering requires math skills. Only 18 percent make the connection between engineering and the exciting design and innovation opportunities that exist within the engineering field. Seventy percent of middle school students say they would like jobs in the engineering field, but of those students, only 38 percent realize it. Fifty-three percent would like a job designing and building rides at amusement parks. Forty-two percent would like a job designing video games. Thirty-seven percent would like to work on equipment that explores Mars. -- Children would rather do anything other than their math homework. Instead of math homework, 89 percent of middle school students would rather do their chores than math homework. Sixty-two percent would rather brush their teeth; 36 percent would rather take out the garbage; and 33 percent would rather go to bed early.

Raytheon Company , with 2007 sales of $21.3 billion, is a technology leader specializing in defense, homeland security and other government markets throughout the world. With a history of innovation spanning 86 years, Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing; effects; and command, control, communications and intelligence systems, as well as a broad range of mission support services. With headquarters in Waltham, Mass., Raytheon employs 72,000 people worldwide.

Note to Editors:

(1) Zogby International was commissioned by Raytheon to conduct a national telephone survey of children in sixth through eighth grade during January 2008. The target sample was 425 interviews with approximately 18 questions asked. Samples were randomly drawn from a purchased list of middle school students. Zogby International surveys employ sampling strategies in which selection probabilities are proportional to population size within area codes and exchanges. Up to six calls were made to reach a sampled phone number. Cooperation rates were calculated using one of the American Association for Public Opinion Research's approved methodologies and are comparable to other professional public-opinion surveys conducted using similar sampling strategies. Weighting by region and gender is used to adjust for non-response. The margin of error is +/- 4.9 percentage points. Margins of errors are higher in sub-groups.

CCID Consulting: 'Convergence of Black and White' -- Inspiration from the Merging of Meiling by Changhong

BEIJING, April 28 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- CCID Consulting, China's leading research, consulting and IT outsourcing service provider, and the first Chinese consulting firm listed in Hong Kong , recently released its article on the inspiration from the merging of Meiling by Changhong.

As an important method of enterprise growth, a successful merge could optimize resource allocation among enterprises efficiently, promote the concentration of resources and transform organization structures, and boost upgrades of industrial structure. However, integrated management could be a key point in deciding if the enterprises may operate efficiently and fulfill its prospect after merging. According to relative statistics by CCID Consulting, the failure rate of global enterprises merging and restructuring is over 50%. An important reason behind this is the ignorance of effective integration after merging, and HR and culture could be an important factor in over 80% of failed cases, as is illustrated in Table 1.

Table 1: The five major factors lead to failure in merging & restructure Factor proportion HR management (problems related with management, interpersonal relationship and conflict of enterprise cultures) 85% Lack of mutual understanding 24% Lack of clear target and plan 35% Lack of financial analysis 17% Lack of coordination due to incoherence 9% Source: CCID Consulting, April 2008

Two independent companies of different characters, cultures and value systems converge together by merging. A successful merging always depends on the effective integration of different organizations, the "convergence of black and white" with the merging of Changhong and Meiling is one of the few successful merging cases in recent years.

Apart from the limitation of tangible assets restructure, the merging of Changhong and Meiling also took culture convergence as a key factor during the procession. We may draw conclusions as illustrated below in Table 2 by analyzing the merging procession and operation achievements for the past two years.

Table 2: Major factors in HR management in merging of Changhong and Meiling Importance Major factors 1 Enterprise culture convergence 2 Effective communication 3 Detain key management personnel 4 More stimulation and income for employees in target enterprise 5 The management team of buyer gets trust and respect Source: CCID Consulting, April 2008 The success of Changhong may serve as a reference for enterprises merging

First of all, take different enterprises' cultural integration strategy according to cultural characters on both sides. CCID Consulting divides enterprises' cultural convergence into four types according to the power of the enterprise as illustrated in Figure 1. It could be said that the contrast of cultural status and power may decide the method for convergence. The proper choice of the cultural integration method is the basis of the successful merging of Changhong and Meiling. However the decision makers at Changhong have always clear awareness of the real target for enterprise cultural convergence, that is, merging needs to take into account cultures on both sides based on equality, mutual benefit and integrity rather than conflict. Mr. ZHAO Yong, the chairman of Changhong Group and Meiling Shares, made commented on the integration of cultures in both enterprises, "What happens to Changhong and Meiling is strategic cooperation other than merging or restructure." He even calls for Changhong employees sent to Meiling should "learn to Meiling." Therefore, Changhong chose an integration model properly, which allows a smooth operation in Meiling with less barriers as an important step for a successful merging.

Secondly, effective communication could be an important method for fast convergence. Before the merging, Changhong had worked out a framework and plan for effective communication and took great efforts to implement it during the procession. Changhong had three requests to the new management team of Meiling: respect, be honest and compromise. It is "to respect the basic systems in Meiling with an open mind based on modesty, honesty and passion, make adequate compromises for those conflicts of non-principle." All these principles worked as the key in Meiling. Changhong pays special attention to cultural integration with different backgrounds and avoids the "convergence without solidification" in most merging.

Thirdly, it is also important to retain existing personnel apart from sufficient and effective communication; otherwise the merging could be rather frothy. Changhong is very clear of that, which is indicated by a private talk between ZHAO Yong and WANG Yong, "The value of Meiling is its group, it has no value without this team." An enterprise is formed by people. Skilled and experienced staff can only be retained with no influence for future operations by the consideration in economic stimulations such as working environment, working atmosphere, working guarantee, working tension & pressure as well as career future. Changhong had fully considered these, sending three senior managers to Meiling at the beginning who were arranged in the areas of worst performance and toughest environment. Even people from Meiling mentioned that "it was like banishment to be sent to these areas before." Consequently the recognition and respect of Changhong to Meiling got the trust and respect from employees in Meiling.

Finally, giving more stimulation and benefit to employees of target enterprise is integral to realize the successful merging by Changhong. During the HR integration in the merging, the acknowledgement of existing employee is a major factor in keeping a high passion and a faithful loyalty from employees, and the most simple way to show this is economic stimulation. In the year end bonus plan and implementation of 2006, Changhong made most Meiling employees experience the achievement of all reforms after the merging that all bonuses have been issued with the amount beyond expectation.

The cultural integration should focus on convergence, to be led by the strategic target of both sides based on equality, make comprehensive analysis to enterprise culture of both sides, keep the advantage and get rid of short-comings for a coherent convergence in the end. Implement the strategy widely accepted by both sides based on the mutual benefit and cultural environment and carry out the systems in the new enterprise for better popularization. The combination of Changhong and Meiling could be a successful example.

Harris Corporation Antenna Reflector for Mobile Communications Satellite Deployed Successfully

MELBOURNE, Fla., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- An antenna reflector built by Harris Corporation for the geosynchronous ICO G1 global communications satellite was successfully deployed on orbit Saturday, April 26, and will play a key role in providing next-generation mobile communications services across North America.

Harris Government Communications Systems provided the reflector and onboard articulating boom to Space Systems/Loral for ICO Global Communications (Holdings) Limited. The Harris 12-meter reflector features a unique design that allows it to be stowed in a smaller space, while providing increased antenna gain and improved performance required for mobile interactive media services.

Designed and built by Space Systems/Loral and launched April 14 from Cape Canaveral, the ICO G1 satellite will provide next-generation communications services across the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Trials of interactive mobile video, navigation, and emergency assistance services -- to be known as ICO mim(TM) -- will be conducted by ICO later this year. The Harris antenna reflector enables the ICO satellite to focus 2 GHz S-band signals on North America.

"This on-orbit success reflects our continuing commitment to providing the most advanced unfurlable reflector designs that meet the challenges of mobile communications providers and satellite broadcasters," said Jeremy Wensinger, group president of Harris Government Communications Systems. "The larger reflector size was achieved by using a patented Harris design and is key to providing new, high-quality satellite services to a full range of portable communication devices. We are pleased to be part of the Loral/ICO team in bringing these next-generation satellite services to users across the nation."

The reflector features a Harris-patented, gold-plated mesh reflective surface and a unique design that maximizes antenna gain while reducing stowed volume and antenna mass. During launch, the Harris reflector was stowed onboard the satellite much like an umbrella. Once on orbit, ground controllers sent a command signal to the satellite to unfurl the reflector. Minutes later, the reflector achieved a fully deployed status to its final intended configuration. The reflector and boom were manufactured at Harris facilities in Palm Bay, Florida.

CACI Awarded Two Task Orders Valued at $36 Million to Support U.S. Army Night Vision & Electronic Sensors DirectorateContinuing and New Work Will Enhance Mission Effectiveness for U.S. Armed Forces Worldwide

ARLINGTON, Va., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CACI International Inc announced today that it has been awarded two task orders, each for two years and totaling an estimated $36 million in value, under its Strategic Services Sourcing (S3) contract with the U.S. Army. The awards support the Army's Night Vision & Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD).

The second NVESD award is a new task order for an estimated $16 million to provide testing and prototype development support for advanced technology sensor programs, as well as advanced Focal Plane Array (FPA) and camera sensor development. CACI's work on these contracts will help the Army advance the state of night-vision technologies and enhance the capability and mission effectiveness of warfighters in-theater worldwide.

According to Bill Fairl, President of U.S. Operations, "We are pleased that the Army's Night Vision & Electronic Sensors Directorate has such a high level of confidence in CACI's ability and experience to grow our work with them. These task orders demonstrate the solid client relationship we have established with the Army."

CACI President and CEO Paul Cofoni said, "Our ongoing assignments under the Strategic Services Sourcing contract clearly show the value of our wide-ranging contributions to national defense capabilities. The more we can help our warfighters in performing their tasks more effectively and safely, the more we fulfill our overriding mission of being a national asset for national missions."

GERMANTOWN, Md., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in broadband satellite solutions and services, today announced that its Crypto Kernel, the cryptographic component of its HN and HX Systems, has earned a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 level 1 certificate (Certs. #919 and #915) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). FIPS 140-2 validation is a requirement for any cryptographic product which will be used in a U.S. government agency network.

"The FIPS 140-2 certification is the gold standard in validating cryptographic modules to ensure the security of government networks," said Tony Bardo, assistant vice president of government services at Hughes. "By achieving this certification, Hughes can now validate its ability to provide a high level of security in its HN and HX satellite broadband offerings. Government agencies seeking resilient, ubiquitous networks for mission-critical activities such as Continuity of Operations planning, emergency response or managed network services, can count on Hughes to provide those services, plus the assurance that its encryption standards meet the challenges of rigorous government testing and requirements."

FIPS is a set of standards that describe document processing, provide standard algorithms for searching and provide other information processing standards for security modules used to protect government networks. The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), headed by NIST, provides module and algorithm testing for FIPS 140-2, which applies to Federal agencies using validated cryptographic modules to protect sensitive government data in computer and telecommunication systems. FIPS 140-2 provides stringent third-party assurance of security claims on any product containing cryptography that may be purchased by a government agency.
