"Port Freeport's project team researched several different system integrators and security technologies," said Rick Benavidez, Security Manager for Port Freeport. "We followed up with visits to the vendors who made the short list. Once completed, Port Freeport's project team reviewed the RFPs and decided the creative solution offered by CIBER's Enterprise Security Solutions (ESS) was the best value for the port. With the system provided by CIBER, we achieved our goal of improving waterside security and MDA."

CIBER's ESS solutions incorporate industry best practices and best-of-breed technologies to provide comprehensive, yet cost-effective security coverage. Features of the port security system implemented at Port Freeport include:

-- Integrated security systems for video surveillance, intrusion detection, and access control -- "Intelligent" radar systems designed for small-craft coverage and swimmer detection within the harbor in order to provide situational awareness and security command and control -- Large vessel tracking within the harbor and up to 17 miles outside of the harbor -- A base station to track automatic identification system (AIS)-equipped vessels within the harbor and up to 30 miles outside of the harbor. AIS is a VHF transponder on ships over 300 gross tons, including towboats, tugs, and offshore supply vessels. It allows the port security system to track vessels' positions in real time and display vessel information and attributes including name, speed and schedules -- Patrol-boat tracking with mobile access to all video displays, command and control displays, and Web applications -- A secure Web portal component which provides the port and stakeholders in the region with an integrated approach to simultaneously enhance security, safety, and operational efficiency o A waterside perimeter intruder detection and alert system, including a security zone management system o A regional command and control (C2) situational display and common operating picture (COP) system o A vessel notice of arrival (NOA) and scheduling system including pilot dispatching, port operations berth planning and invoicing system

"CIBER is proud to assist the port of Freeport on this mission-critical homeland security project," said Marcia Kim, President of CIBER's Federal Government Division. "CIBER team members worked with the port directors and the project consultant (Willis Mitchell) throughout the entire process, from system design through delivery, testing, training, and operational acceptance, in order to provide the port with this state-of-the-art security system. CIBER continues to work with the port in providing on-going service and support."

Port Freeport is the 13th largest port in the U.S. in foreign cargo tonnage, and 23rd in the U.S. in total tonnage, accommodating 33.9 million tons of cargo per year. It employs more than 11,000 people and has an economic impact on the region of more than $9 billion annually.

More Cable TV Choice for Rochester, Walpole, Mass., Consumers8,500 More Households Now Can Order Verizon's FiOS TV, the Only TV Service Delivered Over Nation's Most Advanced Fiber-Optic Network Straight to Consumers

ROCHESTER and WALPOLE, Mass., May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning today, consumers in Rochester and Walpole have more choice in cable TV providers now that Verizon has introduced FiOS TV, making a broad range of programming choices and superior picture quality available to some 8,500 more Massachusetts households.

Rochester and Walpole are among 70 Massachusetts communities [see list below] where the company's new television service is being offered -- the only TV service delivered over the nation's most advanced all-fiber network directly connecting to millions of individual homes and businesses.

Verizon is currently negotiating with several other communities in Massachusetts to obtain additional franchises. For more information on the Verizon franchise process in the state, visit http://www.verizon.com/ma.

Donna Cupelo, Verizon region president for Massachusetts and Rhode Island, said, "FiOS TV gives consumers in Rochester and Walpole an outstanding, superior alternative for their video entertainment. Customers in Rochester and Walpole who liked what FiOS did for their Internet connection will love what it does for their TV. We've harnessed the vast capacity of our advanced fiber-optic network to deliver a revolutionary, new entertainment experience."

Massachusetts residents who are FiOS TV-eligible now have the option to trim their monthly bills by bundling FiOS TV service, FiOS Internet service and the Verizon Freedom Value unlimited calling plan, all for $104.99 a month.

Service highlights include: -- FiOS TV Premier, the lead offer, delivers more than 200 all-digital channels. -- A total of 30 high-definition channels for Massachusetts customers, with extraordinary clarity and theater-quality sound delivered over uncompressed signals. -- An industry-leading library of more than 10,000 video-on-demand titles each month, 70 percent of which are free. -- Channels grouped by genres such as entertainment, sports, news, shopping, movies and family, making it easy for audiences to find their favorite programming. -- An easy-to-use interactive programming guide that integrates HD programming, On Demand content and the digital video recorder along with broadcast television into a seamless user experience. -- Set-top boxes ranging from a standard-definition box for $5.99 per month to the Home Media DVR, featuring a multi-room DVR that enables up to three simultaneous viewings of recorded programs without requiring customers to set up a complex home network or buy extra equipment. The recorder is bundled with Media Manager, a new feature that lets customers easily access photos and music from their personal computer and play them on their entertainment center where they look and sound the best. A standard definition Home Media DVR is $17.99 per month. -- FiOS TV Widgets, a free interactive feature that provides local weather and traffic information.

Programming choices for Hispanic, African-American, Asian, Russian and other multicultural audiences are available in every market, making FiOS TV an outlet for emerging and independent networks to showcase their diverse programming.

Information on packages and prices is available at http://www.verizon.com/fiostv. Rochester and Walpole customers also can call 1-888-GET-FIOS to see if they qualify to order FiOS TV.

Verizon research indicates 87 percent of Massachusetts residents favor more competition and choice for video services. Independent studies have shown that competition in the video market brings enormous benefits to consumers in the form of reduced prices, better packages and improved service.

FiOS TV is designed to be a formidable competitor to cable and satellite. Verizon's fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network, the largest of its kind in the country, is currently under construction in more than half the states where the company offers landline communications services, including almost 100 Massachusetts communities.

The network brings the power and capacity of fiber optics directly into people's homes and has industry-leading quality and reliability. Fiber delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of uncompressed, high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen. It also delivers Internet download speeds of up to 50 Mbps (megabits per second) and upload speeds of up to 20 Mbps as well as high-quality voice services.

(More information about FiOS TV and fiber optics is available in Verizon's online News Center at http://www.verizon.com/news.)

The value of FiOS TV extends to the installation and customer support. Specially trained Verizon technicians will install the service and acquaint subscribers with FiOS TV features and services. Verizon is waiving the installation fee for up to three existing TV outlets, and there is no charge to install a needed optical network terminal at the subscriber's home. Charges for other installation services, such as additional outlets, may apply. Verizon provides 24 x 7 technical assistance by phone from its Fiber Solutions Centers in Providence, R.I., and other cities.

[FiOS TV is available in Abington, Acton, Andover, Arlington, Bedford, Belmont, Boxborough, Boxford, Braintree, Burlington, Canton, Dedham, Dunstable, Framingham, Franklin, Georgetown, Hamilton, Hingham, Holliston, Hopkinton, Ipswich, Lawrence, Lincoln, Littleton, Lexington, Lynn, Lynnfield, Malden, Marion, Marlborough, Marshfield, Mattapoisett, Medfield, Medway, Melrose, Methuen, Middleborough, Nahant, Natick, Needham, Newton, North Reading, Norfolk, Norwood, Reading, Rochester, Rockland, Rowley, Sherborn, Southborough, Stoneham, Sudbury, Swampscott, Tewksbury, Topsfield, Tyngsborough, Wakefield, Walpole, Waltham, Wareham, Wayland, Wellesley, Wenham, West Newbury, Westborough, Westwood, Wilmington, Winchester and Woburn, as well as other locations in New York, New Jersey, California, Delaware, Texas, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia.

Everyday Mathematics' New Online eSuite Makes Teacher Planning Easier and Learning More Engaging

CHICAGO, May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Everyday Mathematics has created new online tools that improve student skills, simplify teaching, and offer fun and engaging learning strategies for students. The Everyday Mathematics eSuite supplies a comprehensive set of online tools that assist teachers in planning, monitoring student performance and strengthening the home-school connection. The eSuite's user-friendly home page provides easy access to:

1. ePlanner 2. Assessment Management System 3. EM Games 4. Interactive My Reference Book 5. Interactive Student Reference Book 6. Family Letters

Incorporating an intuitive design, the eSuite also provides seamless integration and interconnectivity between each application by eliminating multiple URLs, usernames, and passwords. In addition to interconnectivity, all of the Everyday Mathematics online eSuite applications are compatible with electronic white boards.

"Technology is a key driver of the ever-changing classroom. At Wright Group, technology is not simply the digitization of a static print product. Our technology products enhance learning for both teachers and students," said Dan Caton, president of McGraw-Hill Learning Group, which includes Wright Group. "Teachers are going to be thrilled with how they can get organized and drive student achievement with the Everyday Mathematics eSuite, and students are going to be excited about the engaging and challenging tasks they will encounter."

Seamless Integration Between Teacher and Student Resources

The eSuite is a set of web-based applications that are accessible from any computer connected to the Internet. This allows teachers to plan upcoming lessons anywhere and without having to bring their Teacher's Lesson Guide with them. The eSuite allows ePlanner users to link directly to EM Games and pages in the Interactive Student Reference Book. Access to the Assessment Management System (AMS) is also just one click away.

ePlanner

The Everyday Mathematics ePlanner, launched in January 2008, is a valuable, timesaving resource that helps teachers to plan their time more efficiently. With online access to all the content necessary to plan a lesson, teachers do not have to carry books or search through pages to find desired content. Each daily plan includes PDF versions of all key resource materials, links to other online tools, lesson background information, and state standards addressed in the lesson.

In addition to making yearly, monthly, and daily lesson plans, the ePlanner allows teachers to print reproducible resources such as Math Masters, Math Messages, Assessment Masters, and Family Letters directly from their computer. Teachers can also view non-reproducible pages from the Teacher's Lesson Guide, Student Journals, as well as Skills Link, which provides supplemental practice for students.

Assessment Management System (AMS)

New to the Third Edition of Everyday Mathematics, the AMS builds a picture of student and class performance by tracking progress toward Grade-Level Goals over time. Based on assessment data, teachers can link to the Differentiation Handbook and assign remedial or enrichment activities.

EM Games

Games are essential to the pedagogy of Everyday Mathematics because they provide a fun way for students to practice basic skills. EM Games are animated, interactive, electronic versions of the board games created by the author team. Students play the games independently against the computer, and receive accurate feedback on mathematical concepts. With the online version, students have unlimited access to the EM Games from home and school, and teachers can monitor student progress through detailed real-time reports on students' skill success in each game.

Interactive Versions of My Reference Book and Student Reference Book

The Interactive My Reference Book (Grades 1 and 2) and Interactive Student Reference Book (Grades 3-6) provide students with English and Spanish content line-by-line to assist struggling readers and English-language learners. "Try Me" interactive tools allow students to experiment with concepts and observe the results. Students can explore concepts such as measuring angles or modifying geometric shapes. "Show Me" animations give students step-by-step explanations for different concepts and processes. These interactive reference books are available online for use at school or at home.

Family Letters

Family Letters are the perfect tool to strengthen the connection between teachers and families. Families receive one letter per unit with information about concepts in upcoming lessons. Pre-K through Grade 5 Family Letters are now offered on Everyday Mathematics online. The letters are available in nine of the most prevalent languages: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, English, Haitian Creole, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and Urdu.

Raytheon Teams with Emirates Advanced Investments to Develop Laser Guided Rocket

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, May 7, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company and Emirates Advanced Investments of the United Arab Emirates have signed a cooperative development agreement for a semiactive laser guided 70 mm (2.75-inch) rocket designed to provide increased precision and lethality compared with conventional unguided rockets.

"The Laser Guided Rocket project with Raytheon is a very important defense industry initiative for the United Arab Emirates," said Hussain I. Al Hammadi, Emirates Advanced Investments' chief executive officer. "This program represents a hands-on development effort for our engineers that will provide future benefits for the armed forces of both our countries. It is designed to destroy targets ranging from tactical armored vehicles to high-speed naval craft and will provide a very affordable precision weapon for attack helicopters."

Under the cooperative development agreement, the Laser Guided Rocket program represents a transfer of technology to the United Arab Emirates. Subject to approval of the respective companies' governments, Raytheon Missile Systems and Emirates Advanced Investments will produce the laser guided rocket for national and international customers.

The agreement details a complete development and qualification program and provides for a follow-on proposal to supply a commercial off-the-shelf laser guided rocket for military customers in the United Arab Emirates, United States and other countries. Initially, the laser guided rocket will be qualified on a single United Arab Emirates' platform, with later integration onto additional platforms.

"This program is also intended to benefit the United States Army, Navy and Marine Corps," said Richard Janik, Missile Systems' Laser Guided Rocket program manager, "because they would be able to obtain a fully qualified laser guided rocket that meets or exceeds all the guided 70 mm rocket requirements of the United States, without expending tens of millions of dollars of investment in research, evaluation, and testing."

In addition to the cooperative development agreement, Emirates Advanced Investments and Raytheon have signed a collaborative agreement to explore similar, future joint programs. "The current Laser Guided Rocket project can be a model for a collaborative agreement," said Hussain I. Al Hammadi, "under which we would work together to develop future products and establish a long- term partnership between our companies."

Emirates Advanced Investments, located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, was incorporated in 2005 to develop advanced technologies and high-quality services through strategic global partnerships with world-class manufacturing and service organizations.

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.

KVH Introduces New CNS-5000 GPS/IMU Continuous Navigation SystemCompact CNS-5000 marries high-performance KVH fiber optic gyros and inertial technology with NovAtel's precision GPS in a self-contained navigation package for the commercial market

MIDDLETOWN, R.I., May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KVH Industries, Inc. , working in close cooperation with leading GPS manufacturer NovAtel Inc., today introduced the CNS-5000, a self-contained navigation system that combines fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based inertial measurement technology from KVH with global positioning system (GPS) technology from NovAtel. This rugged navigation solution affordably provides the precise position and orientation of a host platform on a continuous basis, even during periods where GPS signals are blocked by natural or man-made obstructions or conditions. The CNS-5000 is designed specifically for demanding commercial applications, such as dynamic surveying, precision agriculture, container terminal management, and autonomous vehicle navigation, where the ability to determine the precise position and orientation of a piece of equipment or a mobile platform is critical.

"The new CNS-5000 is a remarkable GPS/IMU solution that is well-suited for a wide array of commercial applications worldwide," explains Dan Conway, KVH's vice president of business development. "The combination of NovAtel's GPS technology with our precision fiber optic gyros and inertial technologies led to an entirely new single-enclosure approach to GPS/IMU systems, saving customers space and weight in their installations without compromising accuracy or performance."

Through its seamless integration of KVH's FOG-based IMU with NovAtel's OEMV(R) GPS precision receiver technology, the CNS-5000 provides a groundbreaking low-cost, small form factor solution for 3-D positioning, velocity, and attitude measurement. The deep coupling of the GPS and IMU technologies within the CNS-5000 optimizes the raw GPS and IMU data, delivering a superior position, velocity and attitude solution. Composed entirely of commercial components and rugged enough to operate in extremely demanding conditions, the CNS-5000 is also designed to meet COTS requirements. This minimizes the operational complexities for customers whose products cross international boundaries.

"NovAtel is excited to be working closely with an innovative partner like KVH Industries to bring state-of-the-art products like this to market. This product extends our portfolio into markets that have been difficult to penetrate with standard two-box GPS/INS solutions, due to high price or complex export controls," said Graham Purves, vice president, sales and marketing for NovAtel, Inc.

Delphax Pulls Back on Effort to Market High-Speed Roll-Fed Presses; Reiterates Commitment to Security Printing MarketCompany also announces departure of Vice President of Sales and Marketing, a limited workforce reduction, second-quarter estimates and expectation of Q4 profitability

MINNEAPOLIS, May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Delphax Technologies Inc. , a global provider of high-speed digital printing systems, announced today that it is reducing its investment in sales, marketing and product development for its CR Series roll-fed presses and initiating a related workforce reduction. Sales of CR Series presses accounted for less than 5 percent of the company's revenues in fiscal 2007 and none so far in fiscal 2008 year, despite an intensified sales effort aimed at capitalizing on the equipment's industry-leading production speed. In addition, Delphax also announced that George Carranza, vice president of sales and marketing, is leaving the company, effective immediately.

"This is a change in strategy dictated by the marketplace," said Dieter Schilling, president and chief executive officer. "We began fiscal 2008 with aggressive sales expectations for the CR Series, based on a refocused sales effort and a promising pipeline of prospective customers. Now halfway through the year, with no additional CR Series sales to report, it's clear that our sales strategy hasn't worked, or at least isn't working fast enough to meet our performance objectives.

"Our focus going forward will be on the established core of our business- the security printing industry-with the objective of returning Delphax to profitability in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year. Currently, we have a sales backlog of approximately $1.5 million, which is primarily for equipment related to the security printing industry. We also expect to increase our investment in product development efforts to develop new products for the security printing industry." Service-related revenues from Delphax's installed base of presses in the security printing industry accounted for over 50 percent of the company's net sales in fiscal 2007.

The company said it expects to report a net loss of from $0.16 to $0.18 per share for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared with a loss of $0.01 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Sales for the fiscal 2008 second quarter ended are estimated in a range of $9.8 million to $10.0 million, compared with $11.3 million in the second quarter a year ago.

The workforce reduction of approximately 36 positions involves primarily sales, marketing and manufacturing personnel, but will have some impact on all areas of the company. It is expected to result in a charge of approximately $2 million in the third fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008. Along with other spending cuts the company expects to make, the workforce reduction is also expected to reduce annual cash costs by approximately $4 million. The action will not significantly affect the security printing side of Delphax's business.

"I want to emphasize that we are not abandoning the CR Series," Schilling said. "These presses remain available for sale, and we will continue to provide full service and engineering support to our current and future CR Series customers. The CR Series has demonstrated its productivity advantages in a variety of commercial printing applications since its introduction in 2002, and we have made repeat sales to early adopters. But with the decision we are announcing today, we are backing away from our intense and expensive push to introduce high-speed digital presses to the broader commercial printing market."

The CR Series has been a key part of the company's growth strategy since its introduction and one of its two flagship products. The other major product line is the well-established Imaggia print system, the premier sheet- fed digital press serving the North American check-printing industry. Approximately 90 Imaggias have been sold since its introduction in 2000, compared with approximately 20 CR Series presses.

The roll-fed CR Series and the sheet-fed Imaggia are both based on Delphax's patented electron-beam imaging (EBI) technology, which permits unexcelled digital production speeds. Each system ranks as the fastest commercially available printer of its type. The Delphax CR2200 press is the fastest monochrome toner-based digital print system in the world, with a production speed of 500 feet per minute, capable of turning a roll of paper into books at the rate of one every three seconds. Among its successful applications are on-demand book printing and a wide range of legal/financial publishing-both in the United States and overseas.

The Imaggia ranks as the world's fastest digital sheet-fed print system capable of magnetic encoding, with models featuring document throughput of 300 pages per minute. It is the cornerstone of Delphax's revenue foundation, although there are other kinds of equipment installations using Delphax EBI technology in more than 50 countries.

"A major strength or our product lines is the superior productivity made possible our EBI technology," Schilling said. "But in the case of the CR Series, EBI also created a significant sales challenge for us as we targeted new market niches-selling high-value capital equipment based on a technology that is fundamentally different from anything in the experience of most commercial printers.

"In fact, the effectiveness and reliability of EBI have been demonstrated at length in many applications, most notably in meeting the exacting "intelligent" printing requirements of the check-printing industry."

In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, Schilling noted, the Imaggia passed the 10-billion-foot mark of production since its introduction-nearly 1.9 million miles of high-quality printed material meeting the highest worldwide standards for non-impact MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) encoding for secure documents.

In March, Delphax signed a three-year extension to its existing service and supply contract with Harland Clarke Corp., the largest user of the Imaggia print system. Based on current production levels, Delphax expects the deal to provide revenues in excess of $50 million through the extended contract period.

"While the total demand for check printing is growing smaller within an increasingly electronic marketplace, we believe that there is still room for substantial growth for Imaggia-produced checks at the expense of the less efficient systems that still account for well over half of North American check production," Schilling said.

About Delphax Technologies Inc.

Delphax Technologies Inc. is a global leader in the design, manufacture and delivery of advanced digital print production systems based on its patented electron-beam imaging (EBI) technology. Delphax digital presses deliver industry-leading throughput for both roll-fed and cut-sheet printing environments.

Delphax provides digital printing solutions to publishers, direct mailers and other printers that require systems capable of supporting a wide range of commercial printing applications. The company also licenses and manufactures EBI technology for OEM partners that create differentiated product solutions for additional markets. There are currently installations using Delphax EBI technology in more than 50 countries worldwide. The company is headquartered in Minneapolis, with subsidiary offices in Canada, the United Kingdom and France. Its common stock will be publicly traded on the Capital Market tier of the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol: DLPX through the close of trading today. Delphax will seek to have its common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board(R). Additional information is available on the company's website at http://www.delphax.com/.

John Riconda, president of CCSI, commented, "QSGI's IT services, within both their Data Center Maintenance division and Data Security & Compliance division, should complement CCSI's current offerings extremely well. Together with CCSI, QSGI will improve shareholder value by increasing the company's base of consistent, high margin, recurring IT service revenues, while enabling us to offer a one-stop-solution for IT services within both enterprise class hardware and distributed computing environments. I am looking forward to becoming a part of QSGI's management team and look forward to making a meaningful contribution to the company's growth."

Mr. Sherman continued, "In addition to the consistent, growing EBITDA provided by CCSI, this networking maintenance company will offer QSGI numerous benefits that include:

-- the ability to market a broader suite of IT services and improve the company's overall competitive position in networking infrastructure architecture, implementation and maintenance; -- an additional growth platform with CCSI's rapidly growing and scalable Network Operating Center (NOC) business which generates high double digit gross margins; -- an expanded senior executive management team with the addition of John Riconda, who brings more than 25 years of both technical support work and IT services management; -- the additional availability of 48 highly skilled technicians in the maintenance operations ranks; -- a stable list of maintenance clients and high recurring revenues.

We are very pleased with the terms and quality of this planned acquisition. It substantially broadens both our customer base and suite of services, and is consistent with our strategy of focusing on recurring, high margin IT services.

Verizon Wireless Launches First Phase of Rollout of Wireless Broadband Network in South DakotaHigh-Speed Network Gives Verizon Wireless Customers Access to Fast Wireless Internet, E-mail, Mobile Music, Videos, and More

SIOUX FALLS, S.D., May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless announced today that it has expanded the national rollout of its high-speed wireless network to Sioux Falls. This rollout marks the first phase of the company's planned expansion of its wireless network in South Dakota. Over the next two months the rollout will include further coverage around Sioux Falls, contiguous coverage along Interstate 90 to Rapid City and coverage north of I-90 to Pierre.

"Sioux Falls represents a vital market with dynamic, tech-savvy business people, residents and students who want to stay connected," said Nancy B. Clark, president -- Great Plains region, Verizon Wireless. "The launch of our broadband network here provides our customers with access to the very latest wireless technology."

The Sioux Falls high-speed network overlays the company's existing data network within Minnehaha and Lincoln counties and extends north of Sioux Falls along Interstate 29 to 246th Street, west along I-90 to Buffalo Ridge, east along I-90 to State Highway 11, and south along I-29 to County Road 140.

With the wireless broadband network, Verizon Wireless customers in the area now enjoy two prime services:

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

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

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

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

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

V CAST: Video and Music

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

With V CAST Music, Verizon Wireless has built a massive full-song mobile music store that contains more than 3 million songs -- from well-known as well as independent artists -- that customers can download over-the-air, directly onto their V CAST Music-enabled wireless phones.

Investment

The multi-million dollar expansion includes the installation of high-tech wireless hardware and software in wireless transmission sites throughout the region. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed -- $5.5 billion on average every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. More than $174 million of this investment was spent in South Dakota over the past seven years on network improvements.

Verizon Wireless was the first national wireless provider to commercially launch a high-speed wireless broadband network in the United States. For more information about Verizon Wireless products and services, call 1-800-2 JOIN IN or go to http://www.verizonwireless.com/.
