Micrel Takes Low Power to New Heights With New Ultra-Low Voltage CML Product Family Featuring Unique Fail Safe I/O Protection and Internal Termination

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Micrel Inc., , an industry leader in analog, high bandwidth communications, and Ethernet IC solutions, today added an Ultra-Low Voltage CML product family to its growing portfolio of high performance interface products. The initial seven products of the family, SY54011R, SY54016R/AR, SY54017R/AR, and SY54023R/AR are 1.2/1.8V Ultra-Low Voltage CML output products with a core power supply of 2.5V that can interface directly to devices powered by 1.2/1.8V supply. These seven products include a 1:2 Fanout Buffer, Differential Line Driver/Receiver, 2:1 Multiplexer, and a 2 x 2 Crosspoint Switch and operate up to 3.2GHz In addition, the SY54016R, SY54017R, and SY54023R offer Micrel's Fail Safe Input (FSI) circuitry. Targeted applications include clock and data distribution, hot swap applications, rack-based equipment and Automatic Test Equipment. All devices are currently in volume production with pricing for 1K quantities starting at $1.54. In addition, evaluation boards are available upon request and samples can now be ordered on line on Micrel's web site at: http://www.micrel.com/ProductList.do.

"This new family of products is the only Ultra-Low Voltage CML output family in the market featuring 1.2V outputs while offering excellent jitter performance. This makes it ideal for today's high speed demands, which include low-noise and a need to interface and drive low voltage FPGAs and ASICs," said Thomas S. Wong, vice president high bandwidth products. "In addition, the 1.2V operation takes low power to new heights by featuring a power reduction of up to 50 percent."

All product AC performance is guaranteed from DC through 2.5/3.2GHz or 3.2Gbps, with rise and fall times less than 95ps for all products. The product family guarantees jitter performance to be less than 10psp-p over temperature and voltage, operation over the full industrial temperature range (-40-degC to +85-degC), and core supply voltage operation of 2.5V and output power supply of 1.2V or 1.8V. Moreover, the devices are offered in an ultra-small 16-pin MLF(R) package that saves critical space and provides low jitter, making the SY54xxx series ideal for today's high speed, low jitter designs.

The SY54xxx series, along with the rest of Micrel's FSI family of solutions, have been optimized to prevent unwanted oscillations and maintain output stability when an input signal's swing collapses or disappears. Unlike existing products on the market, Micrel's FSI design prevents a metastable output condition when the input signal is removed or the amplitude fails. This is especially crucial for rack-based equipment that has many I/O cards requiring Hot Swap capability. Furthermore, the product family offers Micrel's patented 3-pin internal input termination, which simplifies designs and interfaces to any differential signal, AC- or DC-coupled.

Bulgarian Telecommunications Company Selects Alcatel-Lucent for Euro 32 Million Contract to Deploy GSM/EDGE Network Infrastructure

PARIS, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today announced that it has been awarded a 32 million Euro contract by Bulgarian Telecommunications Company (BTC), the main telecommunication services operator in Bulgaria - to provide GSM/EDGE solutions to Vivatel, BTC's GSM mobile subsidiary.

Alcatel-Lucent will replace half of Vivatel's current GSM Base Station Subsystem network equipment and will also provide a full range of services in conjunction with this contract including project management, network design, integration, testing, installation, and multi-vendor radio network planning and optimization.

Alcatel-Lucent's radio access solution is cost-efficient because it can accommodate multiple standards, such as GSM/GPRS/EDGE+ and 3G, using the same radio equipment. Furthermore, service providers can increase the capacity of their platform as demand warrants by introducing EDGE +, HSDPA and HSUPA on the same platform through a simple software upgrade. Alcatel-Lucent's experience in design, integration, testing and project management skills also play a key role in ensuring Bulgarian Telecommunication Company/Vivatel continues to enhance its customers' experience.

Alcatel-Lucent provides effective GSM/EDGE+ solutions for the renovation of GSM networks designed to help operators such as BTC dramatically reduce the total cost of ownership for the network - taking into account such critical factors as site acquisition and leasing costs, civil engineering requirements, as well as power consumption, transmission, and operating and maintenance costs.

"This agreement is further evidence of our leadership in the delivery of the latest generation of GSM/EDGE+ radio solutions, and further strengthens our long relation with BTC," said Frederic Rose, President of Alcatel-Lucent's activities in Europe, Asia and Africa. "With our strong local presence, project management skills and our state of the art wireless technology, we are confident that we will be able to meet BTC's expectations in providing a first-class network."

Trimble VRS Now Service Launched in Florida for High Precision GNSS PositioningSimply Connect, Correct and Measure

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trimble announced today that it has launched Trimble(R) VRS Now(TM) service in the state of Florida. The commercial subscription service will provide surveyors, civil engineers and geospatial measurement professionals with instant access to real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning and high-accuracy Differential GPS (DGPS) corrections without the need for a field base station.

The service will deliver centimeter-level RTK and Differential GNSS (DGNSS) positioning customized for each Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) rover receiver's exact location anywhere in the network. The Trimble VRS Now service supplies fast, easy to use and accurate GNSS positioning for a variety of applications including surveying, urban planning, construction, asset management, transportation, environmental monitoring, resource and territory management, disaster prevention and relief, weather services and scientific research.

A subscription to the Trimble VRS Now service and a GNSS rover is all a user needs to begin surveying or collecting data with precision anywhere within the network. Surveyors and other users can switch on their receiver and real-time corrections are available in seconds. Trimble VRS Now works with nearly all GPS and GNSS survey instruments from a variety of manufacturers.

In addition to standard cell phone connection to the network, service in the Tampa-Orlando area also includes an innovative and powerful radio broadcast option. The low-band radio option provides further assurance to users, even in areas where cellular signals are limited or simply not available.

"Our Florida network is the latest network service implementation in a series of commercial GNSS Infrastructure networks from Trimble. Through increased productivity and lower project costs, Trimble VRS Now provides real business value to the local community," said Pierre Desjardins, business manager for Trimble's GNSS Infrastructure business area. "Our goal is to streamline the workflow of our surveying and positioning customers while increasing productivity."

The system in Florida includes a network of Trimble NetR5(TM) GNSS Reference Stations equipped to receive broad-spectrum GPS and GLONASS positioning signals to maximize field productivity. Network corrections are calculated using Trimble VRS(TM) technology, the most widely used network RTK solution worldwide. With an initial coverage of nearly 50 percent of Florida, the users can now connect into the network using a wireless connection -- either cellular or Trimble proprietary low-band radio -- for fast, easy access to precise network RTK and DGPS corrections in most populated area.

Trimble VRS Now represents a major advance in precision surveying and positioning productivity. No longer dependant on a field base station, precision GNSS surveys can be up and running in minutes. And without the need for base station hardware, the user's GNSS receivers can now work independently as rovers -- saving time and money. Simply connect, correct and measure.

Slovak Telekom Expands its Relationship With AmdocsSlovak Republic's largest service provider will use Amdocs to migrate to IP-based services

ST. LOUIS and BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amdocs , the leading provider of customer experience systems, and Slovak Telekom, today announced that Slovak Telekom will upgrade and expand its usage of Amdocs OSS (operations support systems).

Slovak Telekom is a longstanding Amdocs OSS customer and will upgrade to the Amdocs Cramer6 OSS Suite to take advantage of new features as it modernizes its OSS architecture.

This will enable Slovak Telekom to improve its network discovery processes, which is the ability to identify equipment and resources actually deployed in the network. With more accurate network inventory and data integrity, Slovak Telekom can improve its network capacity management, fulfillment and assurance processes. As a result, Slovak Telekom can reduce capital expenditure, reduce time to market for new services, and improve customer satisfaction through faster response to network outages.

"Slovak Telekom has decided to modernize its service and network inventory management system as a fundamental step towards the inevitable OSS transformation to a service-oriented architecture, a next generation OSS program known as NGOSS," said Stanislav Pavlovic, director of IT Division/System Integration Unit at Slovak. "By adding new products such as Service Catalog and Delivery Engine, this upgrade gives us access to further off the shelf software, which will help us to simplify integration, reduce our total cost of ownership and increase automation. The integration of Amdocs Discovery Engine with network resource management will enable us to significantly improve data accuracy. As a result, we believe we have more configurable and agile OSS environment."

China Eastern Airlines Selects Radware to Handle Peak Traffic for the Olympic GamesComplete ADC Solution Deployed to Ensure a Smooth Ride for Passengers

MAHWAH, New Jersey, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radware , the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking, today announced that China Eastern, one of the leading Chinese airlines, has successfully deployed Radware's APSolute application delivery controller (ADC) solution combining AppXcel, LinkProof, and SecureFlow with Radware's application & network security product, DefensePro to optimize the e-commerce and web applications at the core of its mission-critical business applications.

China Eastern has used Radware's complete ADC solution to build its next-generation network infrastructure to effectively resolve network access delays and IS problems. As such, it has increased user access response rates and enhanced the monitoring, control and management of its entire e-commerce system. This has enabled China Eastern to provide more efficient services to its passengers and meet challenges presented by the organization of the Olympic Games.

With steady economic growth in China, an upsurge of the tourism industry on the mainland and the upcoming Olympic Games, China Eastern has been facing tremendous pressure to handle an unprecedented volume of network access. The airline had an urgent need to upgrade its network to increase the utilization of multiple Internet links and enable a fast response-rate for different ISP users without affecting the operation and stability of the existing intranet, extranet, Internet and wireless local area networks. At the same time, the airline also needed to implement an effective protection mechanism against DoS/DDoS attacks to ensure high availability, performance and security network access for all business-critical applications throughout the Olympic Games and holiday season.

To address these needs, China Eastern turned to Radware, who proposed and deployed a total ADC solution inclusive of its LinkProof, SecureFlow, AppXcel and DefensePro products.

- LinkProof, not only provides availability of the Internet at all times and optimizes the use of these links but also enables intelligent load balancing between ISPs without the need to coordinate between them. LinkProof selects the best ISP link that will give China Eastern customers the fastest access to data across the Internet; - SecureFlow, uses granular application intelligence to optimize the performance of best-of-breed content inspection, anti-virus, VPN, IDS and firewall security tools. Its unified, scalable, switch architecture ensures 24/7 security policy enforcement, high availability, fast response time and transparent, cost-effective scaling of the full range of data center security devices at China Eastern; - AppXcel boosts application response times for the airline's end users through a comprehensive set of acceleration technologies including compression, caching, HTTP multiplexing, TCP optimization and more; - Radware's award-winning DefensePro protects from external intrusion, scans in high-speed, in-depth and real-time application traffic, protecting and preventing China Eastern's website from threats and attacks.

"Through the deployment of Radware's high performance and all-around business-smart networking solution, we have promptly improved the performance of our networking system," said Mr. Dong Ming, of the Information Technology Management Department at China Eastern. "By ensuring the high availability, stability and security of our Internet links, this new system provides our passengers with a more stable, quick and timely transaction service. The real-time protection used against DoS /DDoS attacks also ensures the security of our business-critical system and safeguards our investment," he added.

"We offered a complete solution, leveraging our industry-leading real-time monitoring technology, always-available solutions, business-critical acceleration capability and real-time protection against intrusions and DoS/DDoS attacks," said Mr. Zhao Jun, General Manager of North China Region of Radware. "This has enabled us to create a new business model for users in the aviation industry, enabling them to easily manage their ever evolving needs."

Blackboard Partners With Syracuse University to Develop Sakai IntegrationEffort is Part of Blackboard's Flexible, Open Next Generation Platform

LAS VEGAS, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blackboard Inc. , a leading provider of educational enterprise technology, announced today that it has partnered with Syracuse University to develop software that will allow institutions to connect their Blackboard learning environment with the open source Sakai course management system.

The effort is part of Project NG, Blackboard's multi-year, multi-release project to deliver a next generation teaching and learning solution. With Project NG, Blackboard is working to create a more open, flexible platform that allows educators to better personalize, customize and integrate their educational ecosystem.

As part of Project NG, Blackboard developed the Learning Environment Connector, which makes it possible for students and faculty to use other course management systems within the Blackboard environment and is available now on version 8 of the Blackboard Learning System(TM). Building on that technology, Syracuse will develop the Blackboard-Sakai Connector to allow for seamless integration between the two systems. Blackboard is also planning to develop a similar connector for the open source Moodle course management system.

"Students should not have to worry about whether different technology is powering their online learning environments for different classes," said Michael L. Chasen, President and CEO of Blackboard. "With a single login users should have access to all of their courses and course material. There should be one place they can go to get all of their course information."

With the Blackboard-Sakai Connector, institutions can provide access to a full range of educational opportunities and materials in one place, regardless of where they were originally developed or located, making access easier for faculty and students at campuses that may be using more than one course management system.

"This development effort is very important to Syracuse," said Michael Morrison, Manager of Academic Applications at Syracuse. "This partnership makes sense for us, given our large installed base of active Blackboard users."

The Blackboard-Sakai Connector will be a Blackboard Building Block(TM), an application that institutions or third-parties develop to enhance and extend the Blackboard learning environment. The Blackboard-Sakai Connector will be released as open source and join more than 150 free or open source Blackboard Building Blocks currently available to the entire Blackboard community. The Connector will then be integrated as part of Blackboard's next generation product roadmap.

Primary development of the Blackboard-Sakai Connector will take place at Syracuse, with design guidance and review and support from Blackboard.

The announcement was made at the Blackboard Developers Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, where several hundred software and technology professionals convened to share ideas for independent, third-party applications that build on and extend Blackboard solutions to address specific academic and institutional needs. The conference precedes BbWorld '08(R), where more than 2,000 members of the global e-learning community will gather this week at Blackboard's annual event focused on best practices and innovative breakthroughs in education technology.

Autonomy Powers Vertical Search for IT ProfessionalsFoundographytech.com Utilizes IDOL to Provide Highly-Targeted Information to IT professionals and Drive Advertising Revenues

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, California, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy Corporation plc , a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Foundography(TM), a subsidiary of Nexus Business Media Ltd, has selected Autonomy to power vertical search on its website for IT professionals: foundographytech.com. The site enables business information users to access only the information they want and through Autonomy's unique conceptual capabilities delivers an 'already found' set of results, providing pertinent information users may not have known existed. The site also presents a unique proposition for advertisers, providing conceptually targeted ad selling.

"The huge volume of information on the Web is causing web-blindness and a high level of user frustration - very few people actually find the information they're looking for first time," said Neil Thackray, CEO of Foundography. "We strongly believe that vertical search is the answer and Autonomy's IDOL, with its unique conceptual and contextual abilities, is ideally suited to identify vertical-specific content on the Web, making it more accessible than ever before."

Maintaining superior user-experience is a key factor in driving traffic, maximizing user retention and increasing impression rates. Powered by IDOL, Foundographytech.com, enables users to:

- access a constantly updated repository of millions of key IT sources and industry domains - view search results clustered around related themes and find more information of a similar nature - navigate results by areas of interest or specific content type using guided navigation - identify at a glance industry hot topics currently being investigated by fellow Foundography colleagues

In the near future, users will also be able to receive alerts when their favorite content is updated, send collections of articles to colleagues and provide feedback to the system, further improving the user-experience.

Foundography selected IDOL after a competitive procurement primarily due to its ability to provide relevance and meaning. "Autonomy was more robust, more capable and more interesting in terms of enhancing user-experience than the other solutions we evaluated. Following the successful deployment of foundographytech.com, we hope to quickly expand into other verticals. Multimedia content will also be incorporated into the site in the future," continued Thackray.

"We are delighted that Foundography has chosen to embrace IDOL's conceptual capabilities to not only provide users with a new user-experience but also drive revenue," said Mike Lynch, CEO of Autonomy. "We look forward to working with Foundography in the future."

About Foundography

Foundography(TM) is a trademarked vertical search solution owned and managed by foundography(TM) Limited, a subsidiary of Nexus Business Media Ltd. The founders of foundography.com are a team of experienced publishers and web technologists who are committed to delivering a range of vertical search tools that provide relevance and meaning to user search requests.

Foundography's first market focused launch, foundographytech.com is the result of an extensive research and development programme, which goes back over two years.

SAP Wins Super Sailmakers as 20,000th SAP(R) Business One CustomerSmall Companies Segment Growing at Accelerated Pace

WALLDORF, Germany and SAN DIEGO, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAP AG today announced the 20,000th customer for SAP(R) Business One, its integrated business management application for small businesses, proving the rapid market adoption rate of the application, for which SAP has been able to double its customer base in less than two years. The announcement was made at the SAP Summer Sales Meeting, SAP Americas' annual field conference attended by more than 2,500 partners and SAP employees, being held in San Diego, California from July 14-16.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050310/SFTH009LOGO-a)

Super Sailmakers, a one-stop shop for all sail needs founded in 1973 and based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, selected SAP Business One to support all core areas of its fast-growing and increasingly international business. It took only one product demonstration from SAP partner Netsirk to convince the company to replace its legacy system, and only 30 days to turn the decision into business value. Now, SAP Business One, together with the complementary e-commerce solution Netsirk Credit Card Processing by SAP partner Netsirk and Third Wave Ship Link by SAP partner Third Wave Business Systems, form the one-stop business solution for Super Sailmakers. Of Super Sailmakers' 15 employees, eight work with the integrated business management application to run the entire business, from closing deals, producing and shipping products to customers and resellers on time, managing the financials, tracking production, expanding the relationships with the business network, to delivering various services.

Super Sailmakers was honored today by Glenn Wada, senior vice president and general manager, SME, SAP America Inc., who welcomed the company to the growing community of small businesses that run on SAP solutions.

"We are considered a small company, but as such our business is highly diversified and shows high growth rates, which makes it hard to find a suitable software solution," said Bob Meagher III, vice president, Super Sailmakers. "With multiple locations selling directly to sailors, boat dealers and manufacturers in the United States, Caribbean and Europe, we needed to consolidate our management and operations in a single platform, integrating our high-end services to large cruising yachts with our unique requirements as a sailmaker for smaller boats. SAP wasn't really on our minds, but SAP Business One, combined with the knowledgeable solutions and customer-focused record of Netsirk, clearly addressed our unique business needs best and met our expectations for ease-of-use, flexibility and affordability."

SAP Solution Strategy for SMEs Proves Successful

This milestone in customer adoption of SAP Business One strengthens SAP as a worldwide leading provider of enterprise solutions to small and midsize enterprises (SMEs), with currently more than 35,700 SME customers from a total of 47,800 customers. SAP offers a comprehensive and versatile solution portfolio specifically designed for the business and IT needs of SMEs. It includes SAP Business One for small businesses and SAP(R) Business All-in-One and SAP(R) Business ByDesign(TM) for midsize companies, all of which deliver on the promise to offer powerful and affordable solutions for the unique needs of businesses of all sizes.

A successful SAP Business One partner in the United States since 2003 and named SAP South East Regional Partner of the Year 2007 in the United States, Netsirk Technologies headquartered in Weston, Florida, provided Super Sailmakers with the complete array of services, from first demo to implementation, data transfer and training. Experienced in the retail, wholesale and manufacturing industries, Netsirk not only offers professional services but also provides complementary solutions for several industries that tightly integrate with SAP Business One.

Third Wave Business Systems has been implementing business management systems for the SME market space for 15 years. In 2003, Third Wave became one of the first SAP(R) Business One Channel Partners in the United States. Based in Wayne, New Jersey, the company serves the New Jersey and the New York metro area. In addition to providing a range of implementation services, Third Wave has developed a number of add-on applications for various industries that provide complementary functionality to SAP Business One and have been implemented by SAP Business One customers in more than 10 countries. SAP recognition includes several SAP Business One Top Performer awards, SAP(R) Business One ISV Partner of the Year and the SAP(R) Business One Excellence in Customer Satisfaction Award.

"Super Sailmakers is a perfect example of how customers can quickly benefit from SAP's best-fit strategy for small businesses and midsize companies," said Niels Stenfeldt, vice president, SAP Business One, SAP AG. "SAP Business One, as an international and comprehensive business application, forms the stable basis. It is matched with regional and the increasingly important vertical and micro-vertical expertise and solutions from our partners. Together, we offer true and immediate value to fast-growing small businesses in their respective industries."
