Weathersfield, Vermont Residents to Benefit from Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Voice, Multimedia and Internet Access

WEATHERSFIELD, Vt., June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Windsor County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases wireless voice and data coverage and capacity along I-91 and Routes 5 and 131 in Weathersfield, as well as the surrounding area.

Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services like BroadbandAccess and V CAST. Regionally the company has invested nearly $2.2 billion into its New England network, including over $292 million in 2007 alone. As a result of these investments, every Verizon Wireless cell site in New England offers wireless broadband connectivity.

BroadbandAccess offers computer users the nation's most reliable high-speed wireless mobile broadband network, operating at average upload speeds between 500 and 800 kbps, and download speeds between 600 kbps and 1.4 mbps over Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess with EV-DO Revision A network. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the first quarter of 2008 as the company added 1.5 million net new customers and, for the fourteenth consecutive quarter, reported the lowest customer turnover (highest customer loyalty) rate in the wireless industry.

The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "can you hear me now" national advertising campaign. Nationally, these test men and women drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles almost 1,000,000 miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways as well as major roads and surface streets in high- population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts, to confirm that voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

About Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 67.2 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 69,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

STMicroelectronics Announces 32-bit MCUs, Extending Platform-Design Advantages in Vehicle Electronics ApplicationsFour application-optimized MCU families provide a common system-development platform, cutting development time and costs for advanced powertrain, car body, safety, and cluster solutions

GENEVA, June 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STMicroelectronics , a leader in ICs for automotive electronics, has announced its first four microcontrollers in four new Power Architecture(TM) families enabling integrators to use the 32-bit MCU core throughout powertrain, car body, chassis and safety, and instrumentation systems. The new devices will support advanced functions, enable improved vehicle performance and economy, and deliver savings in development by promoting hardware and software reuse. All four products are available for immediate sampling.

All the devices combine the scalable e200-core 32-bit Power Architecture with an application-optimized peripheral set and plentiful embedded Flash memory, to increase integration, maximize design reuse, shorten time to market, and reduce costs. Advanced 90nm fabrication enables a high-performance, cost-effective solution.

"Automotive systems such as network-management, comfort and security are now ready for the high-performance 32-bit Power Architecture," said Domenico Bille, General Manager of ST's Car Body Division. "By providing application-optimized platforms that enable engineers to maximize investment in software and hardware development, ST's new MCUs will accelerate delivery of greater performance and value to end users."

The MCU families are the product of ST's joint-development program with Freescale Semiconductor. As the first true dual-source 32-bit microcontrollers serving the automotive marketplace, these devices increase security of delivery for OEMs. In the past, customers have typically accepted the overhead of working with two different suppliers with two different solutions on board, to avoid supply shortages. "The high-performance architecture, extensive supporting automotive IP and unique advantages of dual-sourcing, deliver to our customers unparalleled security of supply with the ability to create unique, advanced solutions," said Marco Maria Monti, General Manager of ST's Powertrain & Safety Division.

For engine-management and powertrain applications, ST has introduced the SPC563M family, optimized to control robotized transmission systems or 4-cylinder gasoline engines and featuring on-chip memories with up to 1.5 Mbytes of embedded Flash. With a dedicated coprocessor to offload CPU and integrated DSP capability, SPC563M devices enable tight emissions controls. Overall system cost savings are achieved thanks to a wide range of enhancements, such as knock-detection integration and very high IO availability in QFP packages. The first available product is the SPC563M60 with 1 Mbyte of Flash, available in QFP144 and BGA208 packages with future extensions in QFP100 and QFP176 packages.

The SPC560B family of products is targeted to cover car-body applications ranging from body peripherals such as seat modules, to central body controllers and all the way up to communication gateways. With a planned memory range from 128 Kbytes to 2 Mbytes of Flash, the devices feature specific enhancements for many applications. These enhancements include a high-resolution ADC for sensorless positioning, a hardware module to generate control signals for multiple power devices such as lamp drivers, sophisticated power-saving modes and a large number of communication interfaces. The devices support robust EEPROM emulation techniques, leading to further cost-saving potential. The first available product is the SPC560B50, which carries 512 Kbytes of Flash and is available in LQFP100 and LQFP144 package configurations. The complete family offers packages from LQFP64 to LQFP176.

The SPC560P family offers a roadmap aimed to cover the full range of converging applications in the chassis and safety area by focusing on compatibility, performance and safety. As the first device in this family the SPC560P50 comes with 512 Kbytes of Flash memory and features high serial connectivity, integrated safety features, and DMA and CRC units to allow efficient and safe processing of data as required in complex airbag systems. This device is now available in a choice of LQFP144 or LQFP100 packages with future extensions in smaller packages. In addition, an advanced motor-control unit, supporting field-oriented 3-phase motor control and requiring no CPU intervention, supports the increasing numbers of in-vehicle systems featuring electric motors. This enables a platform approach to systems design, saving repeated duplication of development effort. To aid development of next-generation networked chassis systems, the SPC560P range also includes a dual-channel FlexRay(TM) controller.

The fourth family, the SPC560S covers the full range of instrument cluster applications, including the growing market for TFT-display dashboards. The first family member is the SPC560S60, which features a four-plane Display Control Unit with on-chip graphical memories. This MCU successfully enables a single-chip solution for systems typically demanding four or more individual components. All devices of the family will also offer a standard peripherals set, such as analog gauge drivers with zero position detection and diagnostic, LCD interfaces and sound channels. The on-chip graphics memory can be extended with external components thanks to a low pin-count quad-SPI interface. The device is announced in LQFP144 and LQFP176 and will be available in the future with wider memory and package options as well as further enhanced graphical processing capabilities.

All of the new families are designed from the outset to support the latest automotive standards, including the AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) open-systems architecture and FlexRay high-performance vehicle networking. Modern power-management techniques are also catered for including direct standby-power management, which saves an additional secondary controller and thereby delivers further cost, power consumption and size savings.

Kresgeville, Pennsylvania, Residents to Benefit From Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Calling, Data Access, and Music

KRESGEVILLE, Pa., June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local Monroe County residents in and around Kresgeville, Verizon Wireless has expanded its network with a new cell site. The new site increases coverage and capacity along Burger Hollow Road and Kunkletown Road, as well as the area surrounding the Hideaway Hills Golf Club and along Route 209 to Trachsville.

The network expansion is part of an aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year (more than $1 billion every 90 days) to stay ahead of the growing demand for Verizon Wireless' voice and data services. The company spent more than $190 million in 2007 to enhance services and coverage throughout southeastern, central and northeastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware, bringing the network investment in the region to more than $1 billion since 2000. Nationally, the company has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed -- $5.5 billion on average every year - to offer customers the most reliable service available, including wireless data services such as picture messaging and text messaging and the company's exclusive V CAST service. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones over Verizon Wireless' high-speed EV-DO network. Verizon Wireless's high-speed third generation wireless broadband network has been enhanced with EV-DO Rev. A technology. This enhancement allows customers who use the company's flagship business data service, BroadbandAccess, to interact with Web-based applications, download music over-the-air, access to e-mail, everyday corporate data, the Internet, and more at speeds that are eight to nine times faster than before. For example, BroadbandAccess customers with Rev. A compatible devices can now expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps, which means customers 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.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the first quarter of 2008 as the company added 1.5 million net new customers. For the 14th consecutive quarter, Verizon Wireless also led the wireless industry in customer loyalty. The company posted a churn (customer turnover) rate of just 1.19 percent, well below the rate reported by the other major wireless carriers.

Verizon Wireless tests its network and those of its competitors to ensure the Verizon Wireless network remains the nation's most reliable. Nationally, Verizon Wireless' real-life test men and women drive 98 specially equipped vehicles almost one million miles annually on interstate, U.S. and state highways as well as major roads and surface streets in high-population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts, to determine if voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

About Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 67.2 million customers. 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.
