Tatung Selects Alcatel-Lucent to Deploy Commercial WiMAX Rev-e Network in Taiwan

PARIS, June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today announced that Tatung InfoComm, a wholly owned subsidiary of a Taiwanese conglomerate, Tatung Co., has selected Alcatel-Lucent to deploy a commercial WiMAX 802.16e-2005 (Rev-e) network in Penghu County, Taiwan. This advanced, flexible new WiMAX network will serve Penghu County, enabling its people and businesses to access a range of high-speed, high-quality wireless mobile broadband services, as part of the commercial launch for its WiMAX services.

For Tatung, which holds one of the commercial WiMAX licenses for Taiwan's southern regions, the initial deployment focuses on reducing the digital divide, with WiMAX providing most of the wireless broadband data and voice services across 70% of the county's territory. The availability of broadband services is also expected to help boost the local tourist trade in the county, known for its natural scenery and rich cultural background.

"Penghu County is one of the initial locations to benefit from our massive WiMAX deployment plan for Taiwan as we move to offer this advanced mobile service to people and businesses throughout the country," said Peter Yen, President of Tatung InfoComm, a subsidiary of Tatung Co. for WiMAX business. "Alcatel-Lucent has extensive, field-proven experience in WiMAX network deployment globally, and its high-performance and flexible WiMAX solution will equip us with a reliable network to provide a wide range of innovative services to our customers."

Under the terms of the contract, Alcatel-Lucent will supply Tatung InfoComm with a comprehensive WiMAX infrastructure solution, encompassing a full range of WiMAX 802.16e-2005 radio access network equipment and core network elements such as connectivity service network solutions as well as an operation administration management system. It also will provide deployment and project management expertise.

"This contract win, which follows the recent opening of Alcatel-Lucent's government-endorsed WiMAX Application and IOT Centre for local CPE manufacturers, is yet another confirmation of Alcatel-Lucent's leading position, both globally and in the Taiwanese WiMAX market, and underscores our key role in the mass market deployments of WiMAX," says Frederic Rose, President of Alcatel-Lucent's activities for Europe, Asia and Africa. "Tatung is rolling out deployment and services programs in line with its launch timeline to coincide with the company's anniversary celebration later this year. We are committed to partner with this team to build a best-in-class WiMAX network catering to the growing broadband needs of the people of Taiwan."

With more than 70 pilots and deployments across the world and 25 commercial contracts signed since the beginning of 2007, Alcatel-Lucent is the undisputed leader in the worldwide WiMAX Rev-e market.

Alcatel-Lucent's Universal WiMAX solution integrates the latest technological innovations, such as "beam forming"* and MIMO**. Beam forming enables a service provider to dramatically reduce the number of radio sites needed to provide coverage - in some instances by as much as 40 percent - while reducing interference and ensuring better indoor penetration of the radio signal. MIMO helps make radio links more robust, nearly doubling the capacity delivered in dense urban environments.

About WiMAX

WiMAX (802.16e-2005) stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. It enables Voice and Broadband connectivity for fixed, nomadic or mobile use in urban, suburban and rural areas. For more information about Alcatel-Lucent WiMAX solutions, please visit http://www.alcatel-lucent.com/wimax

* "Beam forming" is an Advanced Antenna Technology (AAT) that ensures that radio power is concentrated where the WiMAX terminals are, adjusting the beam automatically as the terminals move around the coverage area.

** "MIMO" (Multiple Input - Multiple Output) is an Advanced Antenna Technology (AAT) that combines the radio signals transmitted and received on separate antennas. The technique takes advantage of the multiple paths and reflections of a radio signal to strengthen radio communications, particularly in densely populated areas where signals can be degraded by buildings and other physical obstacles.

Bridgewater Systems Selected as Vendor for Sprint's XOHM WiMAX Network

OTTAWA, June 2 /PRNewswire/ --

- Leading Subscriber-Centric Service Control Vendor to Provide Best of Breed Network Access Control Solution for 4G Network

Bridgewater Systems (TSX:BWC) today announced its selection as the network access control vendor for Sprint's new nationwide XOHM WiMAX Network. Bridgewater is the incumbent supplier of Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) services to Sprint's existing CDMA 3G network and will now extend its solution to support XOHM as well. Through the capabilities of the Bridgewater solution, Sprint will be able to provide high performance network access control, and support open network access services such as over the air provisioning of devices, subscribers and on-demand service models, and lawful intercept services.

"Bridgewater is a valued partner, and has provided extremely reliable services to us for the CDMA network over the years," said Douglas Smith, chief technical operations officer, Sprint Nextel. "Their ability to extend the existing platform to meet our current and planned needs for WiMAX, while still also servicing our CDMA network, is extremely cost-beneficial."

By being agnostic to various access technologies as well as vendor-specific solutions, the Bridgewater solution is able to support a wide array of access networks and interoperate with multiple network vendor equipment types from a single platform. Within Sprint, Bridgewater will provide concurrent support for 3G and 4G networks from a common infrastructure as Sprint begins to commercially deploy the XOHM WiMAX network in 2008.

"Bridgewater is pleased that its network access control solution is expanding within Sprint to enable innovative new 4G services for XOHM customers, such as light touch provisioning for open access models," said Phil Thrasher, senior vice president worldwide sales, services and marketing for Bridgewater Systems. "Already proven in Sprint's network to provide scalable high performance access control services, our solution is able to interoperate with a broad range of vendor equipment types providing Sprint with the flexibility to evolve their network and accelerate time to market for new services."

As a principal member of the WiMAX Forum driving standards development around AAA and policy, Bridgewater is well positioned to bring its insights to customers to ensure fast deployments. Bridgewater has been selected by nine WiMAX service providers to provide a range of service control solutions, underscoring the company's leadership in delivering carrier-grade solutions that help service providers accelerate and de-risk WiMAX deployments. Fully compliant with the WiMAX Forum's Network Working Group Stage 3 specification, the Bridgewater Systems AAA Service Controller provides extensive mobile WiMAX support often not supported on legacy AAA servers such as device authentication and mobile IP. The AAA Service Controller also features concurrent support for RADIUS and Diameter, as well as broad supplemental authentication protocols such as EAP-TLS and EAP-TTLS. With a common policy and subscriber profile repository that serves all access networks, service providers can create a unified view of subscribers, and realize operational efficiencies by eliminating the need to re-provision subscribers as new access technologies such as WiMAX are introduced.

Bridgewater Systems a été choisit comme fournisseur pour le réseau XOHM WiMAX de Sprint

OTTAWA, June 2 /PRNewswire/ --

- Le principal fournisseur de contrôle de services centrés sur l'abonné propose la meilleure solution de contrôle d'accès au réseau pour les réseaux 4G

Bridgewater Systems (TSX:BWC) a annoncé aujourd'hui avoir été sélectionné pour fournir la solution de contrôle d'accès au réseau du réseau national XOHM WiMAX de Sprint. Bridgewater est le fournisseur actuel de services d'authentification, d'autorisation et de traçabilité (AAA pour << Authentication, Authorization and Accounting >>) du réseau CDMA 3G actuel de Sprint et offrira désormais sa solution pour supporter aussi XOHM. Grâce aux capacités de la solution de Bridgewater, Sprint sera en mesure de fournir un contrôle de l'accès à son réseau haute performance et de supporter des services d'accès ouvert au réseau, tels que la fourniture et la prise en charge en ligne de dispositifs, des abonnements et des modèles de service à la demande, ainsi que des services légaux d'interception.

<< Bridgewater est un partenaire important qui, au fil des années, nous a fourni des services particulièrement fiables pour le réseau CDMA >>, déclare Douglas Smith, directeur des opérations techniques chez Sprint Nextel. << Sa capacité à étendre la plate-forme existante pour prendre en charge nos besoins WiMAX actuels et anticipés, tout en continuant à entretenir notre réseau CDMA, est très bénéfique d'un point de vue des coÃ»ts. >>

En étant agnostique par rapport aux diverses technologies d'accès, tout en restant cependant une solution unique, la solution de Bridgewater est capable, à partir d'une seule plate-forme, de supporter un éventail élargi de réseaux d'accès et d'interfacer avec une multiplicité d'équipements de réseau du vendeur. Pour Sprint, Bridgewater fournira un support concomitant pour les réseaux 3G et 4G à partir d'une infrastructure commune, alors que Sprint commence à déployer commercialement le réseau XOHM WiMAX en 2008.

<< Bridgewater se réjouit de l'extension dans Sprint de sa solution de contrôle de l'accès au réseau afin de permettre de nouveaux services 4G innovants à l'intention des clients XOHM, tels que l'approvisionnement en ligne pour les modèles d'accès ouvert >>, déclare Phil Thrasher, vice-président international responsable des ventes, de l'après vente et du marketing pour Bridgewater Systems. << Ayant déjà fait ses preuves dans le réseau de Sprint en fournissant des services de contrôle d'accès de haute performance extensibles, notre solution est capable d'interfacer avec un éventail important de types d'équipements vendeur fournissant à Sprint la souplesse pour faire progresser son réseau et accélérer la commercialisation de ses nouveaux services. >>

En tant que membre principal du forum WiMAX, supervisant l'élaboration de normes concernant AAA et les diverses politiques, Bridgewater est bien placé pour partager son expérience avec les clients et garantir des déploiements rapides. Bridgewater a été sélectionné par neuf prestataires de services WiMAX afin de fournir plusieurs solutions de contrôle de service, soulignant la position de leader de la société en matière de fourniture de solution de classe transporteur aidant les prestataires à accélérer et à minimiser le risque des déploiements WiMAX. Totalement conforme à la spécification du groupe de travail de réseau de niveau 3 du forum WiMAX, le contrôle de service des systèmes AAA de Bridgewater offre un soutien portable extensif de WiMAX qui est rarement offert par des serveurs patrimoniaux AAA, comme par exemple le support de l'authentification de dispositif et l'IP mobile. Le contrôleur de services AAA offre aussi un soutien concomitant pour RADIUS et Diameter, ainsi que des protocoles d'authentification supplémentaires comme EAP-TLS et EAP-TTLS. Avec une politique commune et un répertoire de profils d'abonné servant tous les réseaux d'accès, les prestataires de service peuvent créer une vue unifiée des abonnés et générer des efficacités opérationnelles en éliminant le besoin de re-programmer les abonnés lorsque de nouvelles technologies d'accès telle que WiMAX sont introduites.

Ã€ propos de Bridgewater Systems

Bridgewater Systems développe des solutions de services basées sur les abonnés, y compris des logiciels de gestion de mesures et de contrôles pour les réseaux convergents, fixes et mobiles. En utilisant les solutions de Bridgewater, les prestataires de services internationaux peuvent offrir des services et des expériences personnalisés à leurs abonnés, tout en maintenant une gestion en temps réel qui contrôle la façon dont les abonnés interagissent avec les réseaux, les services et leurs appareils. Les solutions de classe transporteur de Bridgewater, fonctionnant indépendamment du réseau d'accès et non-liées à un fournisseur, aident les prestataires de services internationaux à lancer plus rapidement de nouveaux services, à cibler plus précisément le segment de marché et à maximiser les profits en créant un point de prise de décision qui restitue le contexte dynamique de l'abonné afin de contrôler et de commercialiser l'interaction du particulier avec les services IP. Plus de 100 des principaux prestataires de services du monde entier, y compris Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel, Bell Mobility et SmarTone-Vodafone font confiance à la technologie de Bridgewater pour les aider à proposer des services de calibre international. http://www.bridgewatersystems.com

Fourteen of Microsoft Re-examination Challenges of Avistar's U.S. Patents Rejected by U.S. Patent Office

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Avistar Communications Corporation has received notification from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (the "USPTO" or the "Patent Office") that as of the close-of-business on Friday, May 30, 14 of Microsoft Corporation's requests for the Patent Office's re-examination of Avistar's 29 U.S. patents have been rejected.

Avistar is represented by Paul Carmichael as its primary licensing advisor. Among many executive assignments, Paul has served as Apple Computer Inc.'s Associate General Counsel for Patent and Trademark and Acting General Counsel, and in prior work, as IBM's Senior Corporate Counsel for Intellectual Property Law during a thirty year career at IBM.

"Data for the entire history of USPTO's re-examination activity indicate that only 8% of re-examination requests are rejected," stated Paul Carmichael. "While we believed that Microsoft's challenge to Avistar's entire U.S. patent portfolio was without merit, we also recognized that the statistics relating to us avoiding a wholesale re-examination were against us. We are delighted that the Patent Office's review has resulted in this extraordinary result which validates and strengthens many of Avistar's most important patents, We expect that the 9 patents that the USPTO has agreed to re-examine at this point also will be validated, and actually strengthened, through this process."

As discussed in Avistar's February 25, 2008 press release announcing the re-examination requests filed by Microsoft, the challenged Avistar patents have an important early priority date (1993), have already been examined over a large body of prior art, and include patents that have successfully withstood two litigations. Based on the history of these patents and the USPTO's response this week, Avistar is confident it will overcome any of the remaining re-examination requests that may be granted. Avistar patents have industry wide applicability to audio, video and data unified collaboration products and services.

Simon Moss, CEO of Avistar, stated "we are obviously pleased with the USPTO's notification that challenges to the core 14 of our U.S. patents have been rejected. We continue to remain focused on our business operations and have no further comment at this time with regards to our patent discussions."

Forward Looking Statements

Statements made in this news release that are not purely historical, including but not limited to statements regarding Avistar's ability to overcome the remaining re-examination requests, the applicability of Avistar's patents to Microsoft's present and future products, the impact and end result of the re-examination process on the patents that are re-examined by the USPTO, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including such factors, among others, as uncertainty associated with the USPTO's review and determination process, the time and expense to Avistar of responding to the re-examination requests and defending its patent portfolio, difficulties associated with enforcing or licensing Avistar's patent portfolio during the review and possible re-examination process, and the risk that Avistar's existing and pending patents could be revoked by the USPTO. As a result of these and other factors, Avistar expects to experience significant fluctuations in its licensing activities and operating results, and there can be no assurance that Avistar's future results will meet expectations. These and other risk factors are discussed in Avistar's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Avistar disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

'Rescue Me' Minisodes Burn Up the Small Screen This SummerTen Original, Standalone Minisodes Premiere June 24th on FX & Online at Sony Pictures' Crackle

LOS ANGELES, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The writer's strike may have delayed the fifth season return of Rescue Me until next spring, but Sony Pictures Television and FX will deliver ten minisodes of new, original content of the critically acclaimed series from Denis Leary and Peter Tolan, which will air commercial-free on FX, Tuesdays at 10 PM ET/PT beginning on June 24th.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080424/LATH509LOGO)

Each of the five-minute minisodes will feature Denis Leary and the rest of the show's ensemble cast in weekly comedic, standalone episodes, and will be available the day following the FX telecast on Crackle.com (http://www.crackle.com/rescueme) and via SPT's The Minisode Network on other online and mobile partners.

"Fans of Rescue Me have come to expect their favorite show to run during the summer, but because of the delay in production due to the writer's strike that wasn't a possibility," said John Landgraf, President and General Manager, FX Networks. "These minisodes are hysterical and will provide fans the opportunity to enjoy the characters they have come to love. The minisodes are designed to keep the series top-of-mind in preparation for next season's 22 consecutive episodes, which will be an unprecedented single-season run of a scripted series on basic cable."

"Denis, Peter, Jim Serpico & their team were enthusiastic about keeping the show salient, and this is a smart way to give viewers their much needed Rescue Me fix this summer," said Zack Van Amburg, co-president, programming and production, Sony Pictures Television. "It's an added bonus that we'll be able to leverage the studio's existing digital network to deliver the minisodes to a vast online audience," added co-president Jamie Erlicht.

The minisodes will feature Rescue Me's regular cast, which in addition to Leary includes: Adam Ferrara, Michael Lombardi, Steven Pasquale, Andrea Roth, John Scurti, Daniel Sunjata, and Callie Thorne. Some of the storylines fans can anticipate are: Sean (Pasquale) struggling to hold up to his fast in the face of great adversity -- Lou's (Scurti) homemade doughnuts; the gang discussing their criteria for a good bar; and Tommy's (Leary) erotic fantasies taking a turn for the worse, much to the delight of his ball-busting bunkmates. They will be written by Leary, Peter Tolan, and Evan Reilly, and will be directed by John Fortenberry.

The episodes will be available online at Crackle (http://www.crackle.com/rescueme), YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/minisodenetwork), MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/minisodenetwork), AOL Video (http://video.aol.com/video-category/the-minisode-network/110600), Hulu, Tidal TV, Joost, and exclusively on mobile at Sprint TV.

The Rescue Me minisodes mark the second time that Sony and FX have provided original, standalone content for the series. In 2006, as promotion for season three, they teamed with Leary and Tolan to deliver Rescue Me 2.5, a 15-minute episode which ran online and was added to the third season DVD.

Rescue Me revolves around the lives of the men in a New York City firehouse, the crew of 62 Truck. Examining the fraternal nature and relationships of firefighters, the series tackles the daily drama of the life-and-death situations associated with being a firefighter, while exploring the ways the men use dark humor to protect their true emotions. Rescue Me was created by Leary and Tolan, who serve as executive producers along with Jim Serpico. The show's fifth season is set to premiere on FX in April 2009.

In 2006 & 2007, Denis Leary was recognized with an Emmy(R) Award nomination for "Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series." In 2005, both Leary & Peter Tolan were nominated for Emmy(R) Awards in the category of "Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series" for their work on Rescue Me's pilot. Tolan was also nominated for "Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series" for the same episode. That same year, Rescue Me was an official television selection of the AFI Awards, and the Producer's Guild Awards also recognized the show with the Visionary Award. The series is produced by Apostle Pictures, The Cloudland Company and DreamWorks Television in association with Sony Pictures Television.

"BOOMj's content is specifically tailored to the needs and interests of this demographic. Today advertisers are spending marketing dollars on highly targeted content that engages the end user. Boomers are more likely to make planned purchases because of their higher level of disposable income, responding to programming which focus on their needs and passions."

"By harnessing this dynamic medium we will be able to provide our members with the most relevant and targeted entertainment, while attracting marketers and advertisers wanting to reach them."

Safety Promoted on Roadways June 2-6Wireless Safety Week Encourages Alabama Travelers to Practice Safe Driving

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The roadways can be a dangerous place. Each year, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) designates one week as Wireless Safety Week to raise awareness of safety issues involving wireless communications -- including driving while using a cell phone.

This year, Wireless Safety Week is June 2-6 -- just as students finish up their semester and families venture out for summer vacation. With more than 208 million cell phone users in the U.S. today, Verizon Wireless encourages Alabamians to be vigilant during Wireless Safety Week and beyond to reduce the number of cell phone-related accidents.

The Alabama Department of Public Safety reports that unfortunately in Alabama, the amount of accidents on public roadways have increased by 15% between 2003 and 2004 with 1,001 and 1,154 vehicle accident deaths respectively. With the number of cell phone-carrying drivers increasing by the minute, there is no doubt that the number of accidents continues to rise -- especially with the increased popularity of text messaging as a means of communication. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that cell phone use contributes to 25 percent of all vehicle crashes today.

"We want all Alabamians to enjoy traveling and remember to use caution on roadways," says Jeff Mango, president of the Alabama/Georgia Region for Verizon Wireless. "Our goal for Wireless Safety Week is to highlight ways consumers can stay safe on the roads."

Verizon Wireless is currently working with the Alabama Department of Transportation, the Alabama Department of Tourism and the Alabama Chapter of the National Safety Council to distribute free wireless ear buds to travelers while supplies last; during Wireless Safety Week at all eight of Alabama's Welcome Center locations and at defensive driving courses held around the state. A map of the Alabama's Welcome Center locations can be found online at http://www.dot.state.al.us/.

Other tips for driving responsibly not only during Wireless Safety Week, but all year round include:

-- Remember -- safe driving is always your first responsibility when behind the wheel. -- Before you leave the curb: -- Activate your voicemail service -- if traffic conditions prevent you from answering a call, you can always retrieve messages later. -- If you're taking advantage of any navigation service, program the address into your phone before you leave -- then you'll only need to listen to the directions. -- Program important and frequently dialed numbers into your phone to take advantage of speed dialing and voice dialing features on your phone. -- When using a portable music device or music-enabled cell phone, set up your playlist while stopped. -- Turn your phone on speakerphone or use a headset while driving. Bluetooth devices are designed specifically for this type of use. -- Avoid taking notes or write down phone numbers while driving. Rather, pull off the road to a safe spot or leave yourself a message on your voicemail or voice-memo-capable handset. -- Never view or send text messages, or video downloads while driving.

Meetings with Pre-Screened Verified China Suppliers Help 14 Top Buyers, Including Brookstone and Staples, Save Time and Cut Sourcing Costs

Buyers Representing US$204 Billion in Combined Sales Joined Private Sourcing

Events: Gifts & Novelties and Personal Care & Health Products

HONG KONG, June 2 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fourteen buyers with combined annual sales of US$204 billion met 45 Greater China suppliers pre-screened by Global Sources at Private Sourcing Events (http://www.privatesourcingevents.com/) for gifts & novelties and personal care & health products. The events were held in Shenzhen on May 22 and May 28, respectively.

(Logo: http://www.xprn.com/xprn/sa/200708071747.jpg )

Six buyers participated in the Gift & Novelties Private Sourcing Event, namely:

-- Brookstone -- one of the largest US specialty retailers -- Carlsberg -- one of the world's largest brewery groups -- Li & Fung -- sourcing on behalf of Toys "R" Us, one of the world's leading retailers of toys and baby products -- Office Depot -- one of the world's largest office product retailers -- RadioShack -- the third-largest US electronics chain -- Test Rite -- Taiwan's largest trading group

Eight buyers participated in the Private Sourcing Event covering personal care and health products:

-- Dairy Farm -- a leading pan-Asia retailer of foods and durable consumer goods -- Dollar General -- the largest retailer in the US by number of store locations -- Kaufland -- the largest hypermarket chain in Germany -- Kesa Electricals -- Europe's third-largest electronics retailing group -- Li & Fung -- the world's leading buying agency for consumer goods -- Otto International -- a professional trading organization and part of the Otto Group, one of the leading international trading and services groups -- Test Rite -- Taiwan's largest trading group -- Woolworths UK -- one of the UK's largest retailers on home, family and entertainment.

Global Sources' Chairman and CEO, Merle A. Hinrichs, said: "Across our specialized online, trade show and print channels, we save buyers' time by offering them highly focused sourcing opportunities with suppliers already verified and ranked based on the amount of information they've provided.

"Private Sourcing Events take this to the next level by focusing on specific products. Invited suppliers have been verified by Global Sources and pre-screened by each buyer. Not only does this reduce the time it takes to source products, it aims to reduce the high cost involved in identifying and qualifying suppliers."

One buyer, Senior Procurement Officer of Carlsberg Procurement, Dick Man, said: "This is incredibly convenient. To meet such a targeted group of qualified suppliers for a single product category, we'd have to send teams to sourcing hubs across China. We were able to accomplish in one day what usually takes several weeks."

One supplier, Director of International Department for Softto Company Ltd, Linda Li, said: "We had some very productive meetings. Instead of general buying teams, we met with specialized buyers from each company responsible for sourcing the kind of products we make."

World's Top Buyers Scheduled to Attend Upcoming Private Sourcing Events

FFI Completes $32 Million Credit Facility

INDIANAPOLIS, June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fortune Industries, Inc. announced today that is has closed a $32 million credit facility with the Company's majority shareholder.

The credit facility will replace the credit facilities with Fifth Third Bank (formerly known as Fifth Third Bank (Central Indiana)). The loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and personally guaranteed up to 50% by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Interest on the credit facility will be charged at one-year LIBOR plus 1.75%, and will require a guarantee fee of 1.88%.

The majority shareholder has also agreed to provide for certain assets of the Company to be pledged as collateral to financial institutions to generate new credit facilities which will support working capital and continued organic growth. At this time, the Company has agreed to a term sheet with a conventional lending institution for a $6 million credit facility to fund the ongoing working capital needs of the Company as well as the $2.8 million balloon payment due on the convertible debt in November 2008.

"The new three-year credit facility will give the Company the financial flexibility to focus on operational and organic growth initiatives," stated John Fisbeck, CEO. "The new facility only requires mandatory principal payments if the excess cash is available to the Company, reducing the principal payments required by the prior facility by approximately $3.5 million over the next twelve months and approximately $7 to $8 million over the next three years. The interest expense and guarantee fees under the new facility are not expected to exceed the interest expense and administration fees under the old facility."

National Survey Shows Most Dads Want Electronics for Father's Day; Help Dad Find Cheaper Gas with Next Generation with GPS

RICHMOND, Va., June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Just in time for Father's Day, a new national survey shows 52 percent of dads prefer an electronics gift for their big day, easily outnumbering dads who want clothing (16 percent), sports gear (13 percent), or a vacation trip (9 percent). Only eight percent of dads said they don't want a Father's Day gift.

The survey, commissioned by electronics retailer Circuit City, also found that 75 percent of American dads feel that GPS navigation would be somewhat or very important to improve the quality of a family road trip this summer. Among electronics, only the ever-present cell phone rated higher, at 93 percent.

With gasoline prices hitting record levels, GPS navigation systems not only can help avoid wasting precious fuel by guiding motorists on the most efficient route, newer units also include features such as real-time weather and traffic alerts, alternate routes, and can even list gasoline prices at nearby service stations.

GPS navigation systems start at less than $200 and come preloaded with nationwide maps and millions of points of interest. Models with traffic alert and other advanced features start at less than $400. All include audio directions, which allow drivers to keep their eyes on the road. Circuit City stores carry models from major brands including Garmin, Magellan, Mio, Sony and TomTom, with a wider selection available at http://www.circuitcity.com/.

According to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), Americans will spend more than $12.8 billion on in-car electronics in 2008. CEA research also reveals the typical American spends 17 hours per week in his or her vehicle.

"There's no doubt about it, enhanced electronics are now an essential part of the American automotive experience," said Irynne MacKay, Circuit City's senior vice president and general merchandise manager for entertainment and mobile products. "Dads and moms count on electronics not only to help them find their way, but also to entertain the family on a trip."

Additional results from the Circuit City survey: -- 30 percent of dads rated portable DVD players as "very important" for a family road trip (25 percent rated built-in DVD as "very important") -- 27 percent of dads rated laptop computer as "very important" for the road trip -- 24 percent rated an MP3 player "very important" for the trip -- 23 percent rated handheld games "very important" for the trip -- 20 percent said upgraded car stereo would be "very important" for the trip

More than 4,100 dads responded to the survey, which was conducted for Circuit City by independent research firm Decision Analyst, Inc. of Arlington, TX. The survey's margin of error is plus or minus two percentage points.

ARM Mali-400 MP Technology Brings High-End Graphics Performance to All Consumer DevicesMulticore Graphics Solution Revolutionizes User Experiences With Pioneering Scalability

CAMBRIDGE, England, June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARM (; ) today announced the ARM(R) Mali(TM)-400 MP scalable multiprocessor graphics solution, capable of delivering performance of up to 1G pixels per second and enabling licensees to serve multiple product markets with the same architecture, whilst retaining the flexibility to choose the optimum power, performance and area configuration for their application. The pioneering Mali-400 MP architecture offers breakthrough scalability, also reducing costs for developers and OEMs associated with platform fragmentation, as no changes are required to support one to four processors.

"Architectural reuse of software and hardware components is of increasing importance to SoC developers," said Frank Dickson, co-founder and chief research officer, MultiMedia Intelligence. "The scalability of the ARM Mali-400 MP GPU, from 300 million to over 1 billion pixels per second, will enable OEMs to deliver a wide range of market-leading products on the same underlying architecture, reducing their total cost of ownership and maximizing ROI."

The ARM family of Mali GPUs is opening up new product markets that will benefit from graphics acceleration, from mobile feature phones through to 1080p-based iDTVs. Recent Mali GPU licensees in the set-top box market mean that the consumer experience in the home is set for a radical change.

"We see an increasing need for pixel processing of up to 1G pixels in the home as HD screens become ubiquitous," said Ola Larsen, vice president of marketing at TAT, an ARM Mali Developer Relations Program Partner. "The set-top box and digital TV user interface will never be the same once graphics acceleration such as Mali technology becomes the standard."

The Mali-400 MP solution builds on ARM's experience and knowledge gained in the widely-adopted ARM MPCore(TM) technology, implemented in the ARM11(TM) MPCore and Cortex(TM)-A9 MPCore multicore processors, designed to reduce system bandwidth, optimize performance and reduce power consumption.

"The battle for consumers' attention across all consumer electronics product markets means that the graphics acceleration capability of these devices is rapidly becoming a must-have feature. Consumers expect an equally compelling user experience when accessing content from their mobile and digital home entertainment devices," said Michael Dimelow, director of marketing, Media Processing Division, ARM. "The ARM Mali-400 MP graphics solution enables our customers to bring scalable graphics processing performance to a wider range of product markets and more economically than before."

Power consumption and area efficiency are key aspects of the Mali-400 MP GPU design. The ability to scale performance to meet different price points and power budgets allows the Mali-400 MP GPU to address the widest possible market while bringing significant cost benefits through utilizing the same single software stack across multiple devices.

The ability to capture the attention of consumers through the display on their electronic devices, as demonstrated by a range of high-end designs today, is driving the need for hardware graphics acceleration in a wide range of consumer devices. The scalable multicore graphics processing design of the Mali-400 MP solution will help bring graphics acceleration to almost any device with a screen.

The ARM Mali-400 MP GPU is available for licensing today. For more information about the ARM Mali graphics stack, please visit: http://www.arm.com/products/esd/multimediagraphics_home.html.

The United Kingdom's Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Uses Autonomy Meridio to Improve Regulation of Member FirmsPartners With Kainos to Deliver New Case Management Solution

CAMBRIDGE, England and BELFAST, June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy Meridio , the leading provider of policy-based retention and disposition management software for the enterprise, today announced that the United Kingdom's Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has implemented its records management solution to more effectively regulate UK surveyors firms. Autonomy Meridio's records management solution is a critical component of RICS' new case management solution that makes the information related to the investigation and handling of cases brought against surveyor's firms more transparent and consistent. RICS estimates that the new system can save more than GBP250000/annum in manual processing and analysis costs. Meridio partner, Kainos, was the Systems Integrator, for the project.

RICS is the leading organisation of its kind in the world for professionals in property, land, construction and related environmental issues. As part of its role, it helps to set, maintain and regulate standards. It has 140,000 members, operating out of 146 countries and regulates some 12,000 surveyors firms across the UK.

To better comply with the new rules introduced by RICS, it was necessary to implement a new records management solution and new storage processes to ensure that the data relating to the investigation of all cases are easily accessible by authorized users and one that can scale to meet its increasing business demands. RICS commissioned Meridio's partner, Kainos, to help integrate a solution that enables it to manage and track all case-related documents and correspondence, including emails, faxes, letters and phone calls. The solution, which is based on Autonomy Meridio's records management solution, allows RICS to convert documents from paper-based to electronic format, and includes an email gateway for efficient routing of in-bound emails. Kainos helped RICS to design a customized user interface that seamlessly integrates with existing RICS systems.

Since the implementation, RICS' staff members now have easy access to the most up-to-date and relevant case information, regardless of their locations, allowing them to provide a higher level of service and respond to queries quickly and consistently whilst managing many more cases than could previously be handled. The case documentation is categorized by firm, member and ID and provides a very transparent and audit proof system for tracking case information and supporting documentation.

Commenting on the project, Jon Freeman, senior project manager of RICS said, "Kainos worked with us as our partner in this project and they were professional and responsive. We were also impressed by their extensive knowledge of the Autonomy Meridio product. The case management solution has taken the complexity out of the regulation process and has resulted in better service delivery and a more effective operation."

"All global organisations now have to deal with the increasing large volume of electronic documents, including correspondence in many different formats, which can be overwhelming to IT departments," said Nigel Hutchinson, CEO of Autonomy Meridio. "The Autonomy Meridio's records management solution can help customers to manage this information efficiently whilst meeting regulatory responsibilities and delivering a high level of customer service. We are very pleased to partner with Kainos to power RICS' new case management solution, allowing it to comply with the new legislation and deliver significant business benefits to the organisation."

Dow Jones Announces New Company Radar Capabilities Within Dow Jones SalesWorksNew Enhancements Enable Sales and Marketing Professionals to Use a More Targeted Approach and Close Deals Faster

NEW YORK, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Dow Jones & Company today announced enhancements to Dow Jones SalesWorks, the company's sales enablement solution designed to help sales professionals win business and drive revenue. This latest release includes new Company Radar capabilities such as precision news filters and collaboration tools that make sales and marketing professionals more effective in their sales and prospecting efforts.

Company Radar, a high-performance feature within Dow Jones SalesWorks, was created to drive new business pipelines by allowing sales and marketing professionals to uncover and focus on the right opportunities. New enhancements to Company Radar reveal detailed information about millions of companies and executives within a given territory, alerting sales teams to events and changes that signal worthwhile opportunities. These new features include:

-- Precision News Filters: With Company Radar's news filters, users can select the events and changes to a customer's business landscape that signal or trigger sales opportunities. The granularity around these news filters has significantly increased, making it easier to uncover specific news topics, such as services relocation, management moves or product recalls. -- Collaboration: Company Radars can now be shared with colleagues, enabling an entire sales team to benefit from valuable, timely information about sales territories and prospect lists. For sales operations managers, shared Company Radars save time and effort because managers can distribute pre-built Company Radars that can be subsequently customized by the individual team members.

"Sales reps today must do far more than understand a customer or prospect's offerings and market differentiators," said Tom Aley, senior vice president and managing director, Dow Jones Business & Relationship Intelligence Group. "Staying ahead of the competition means keeping an ear to the ground for market changes and business news that impact your existing customer relationships and the companies you are following. Company Radar gives salespeople the ability to quickly identify those prospects most likely to buy. It also gives them something to say when they pick up the phone, and it helps them begin to make the connection between the prospect's pain points and business challenges and their own products. We think Company Radar is game-changing when it comes to helping sales fill pipelines and sell more."

Used by savvy marketers and sales professionals worldwide, Dow Jones SalesWorks enables users to quickly identify and qualify prospects with in-depth company information, executive biographies, prospecting lists, relevant competitor analysis and highly targeted news coverage. By taking advantage of Company Radar within Dow Jones SalesWorks, users can stay current with important changes to a prospect or customer's business landscape and are equipped to act on those that can signal new opportunities. In addition, Company Radar users are armed with a constant stream of new companies and executives that meet their sales criteria, allowing them to consistently benefit from a full pipeline of relevant prospects.
