"Sunrise Telecom's HTT is easy to use and packs enormous functionality into a small, inexpensive package. It's the only test set CenturyTel Technicians need for IPTV installation and troubleshooting in home triple play services," said Dennis White, Area Plant Supervisor for CenturyTel. "With the HTT, our teams can quickly identify and isolate problems, which greatly reduces the need to rewire homes, substantially cutting capital expenses and reducing install times by more than 25%."

The HTT, with thousands of units deployed, integrates an unprecedented range of test functions needed for in-home testing, and allows technicians to test key interfaces, signals, and functions at the customer location during installation. The HTT's unique next step logic guides technicians through the installation process, and indicates probable locations and causes of problems, speeding both installation and trouble-shooting.

"Revenue from new services like IPTV, VoD, high speed data and VoIP, depends on the successful rollout of FTTN architectures with VDSL2, and the consistent delivery of a high quality customer experience," said Jeff Heynen, Directing Analyst, IPTV and Next Gen OSS/BSS at Infonetics Research. "The Sunrise Telecom HTT offers comprehensive test capabilities that can speed deployment, bulletproof quality, and essentially help service providers achieve their revenue goals."

With nearly a dozen integrated test functions, the HTT ensures timely delivery of IPTV and other network services. The unit simplifies testing by providing automatic "go-no-go" test routines for VDSL, VDSL2, Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HPNA) networks, RF signal level meter, Ethernet, 802.11 WiFi, copper loop fault identification, Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) testing, ground continuity testing that verifies proper NID ground connection, and in-house wiring identification and testing. The lightweight unit easily clips to a technician's belt or drops into a tool bag and is powered by a rechargeable, field replaceable smart battery system.

"We are pleased with the high level of confidence that CenturyTel has placed in our HTT product and this new release brings a new set of enhancements to facilitate our customers' VDSL2 deployment," said Bahaa Moukadam, Sunrise Telecom's Vice President of Marketing. "With thousands of units already deployed, we are now making the HTT available worldwide to benefit a wider range of customers."

The HTT with VDSL2 is immediately available from Sunrise Telecom. In- field upgrades are available for existing HTT customers with a software option download. For sales information contact the company at info@sunrisetelecom.com.

SAP Launches Co-Innovation Lab in TokyoLocation Takes Advantage of Region's Strength of Innovation and Quality to Collaborate on Solutions for Green IT, Enterprise SOA and Virtualization; Joins Original Lab in Palo Alto to Foster Co-Innovation with SAP Ecosystem of Partners and Customers

TOKYO, July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAP AG today announced the opening of a second SAP Co-Innovation Lab in Ohtemachi, Tokyo, Japan. Joining the first co-innovation lab, located in Palo Alto, California, the addition further broadens efforts by SAP to work with software solution partners, technology partners, service partners and customers to accelerate the innovation and delivery of solutions designed to address industry-specific business issues for companies around the world.

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

Taking advantage of Japan's rich history of custom development, members of the Tokyo co-innovation lab will focus on identifying opportunities to address pressing business needs, including enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) adoption, green IT and virtualization techniques to assist with enterprise software implementation. The SAP Co-Innovation Lab Tokyo is endorsed by the following partners: ABeam Consulting Ltd., Dell Japan Inc., FUJITSU LIMITED, F5 Networks Japan K.K., HITACHI, Ltd., IBM Business Consulting Services K.K., IBM Japan, Ltd., Intel Corporation, Microsoft Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric Information Systems Corporation, NEC Corporation, NetApp K.K., REALTECH JAPAN Co., Ltd., Sun Microsystems K.K., Tecnos Japan Inc., Toyo Business Engineering Corporation and VMware K.K.

"Japan is recognized as the leader in the world for high-value technology," said Yoichiro Yatsurugi, president and CEO, SAP Japan. "The SAP Co-Innovation Lab in Tokyo will be a hub, where SAP Japan and partners can prototype and showcase solutions with the newest technology to meet the specific needs of Japanese customers, as well as introduce innovative ideas from Japan to the world."

The SAP Co-Innovation Lab will focus on utilizing a global talent pool and fostering collaboration on projects based around a simulated heterogeneous data center integrating hardware and infrastructure software from the participating vendors. To best meet the needs of companies in today's global environment, the lab's work will re-create real-world situations on Web- enabled and Internet- or intranet-accessible business applications.

As part of the SAP Co-Innovation Lab Tokyo launch, two engagements have already delivered results, exemplifying the rapid benefits that co-innovation can deliver.

Reducing IT-Related Energy Consumption

Intel Corporation and SAP have been cooperating closely worldwide, and, in Japan, their collaboration focuses on so-called "green IT" projects. Green IT is a key topic in Japan, a country that has initiated many environmental campaigns. In the facility that today becomes the SAP Co-Innovation Lab Tokyo, Intel and SAP have completed a green IT-related validation effort focused on identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions with enterprise solutions.

Using servers powered by Quad Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) processors that replace older, single-core processors, total energy consumption related to the use of SAP(R) ERP was reduced by more than 50 percent. These energy consumption measurements used SAP ERP load cycles simulating 24 hours of server usage, including daily dialog processing and night batch job processing running under absolutely comparable conditions. These results are being made available to the public for the first time, which will help customers make more intelligent investment decisions.

"We welcome the opening of the SAP Co-Innovation Lab in Tokyo," said Kaz Yoshidaco-president, Intel K.K. "Intel new multicore processor products based on Intel(R) 45nm High-k silicon process technology are eco-friendly processors with high performance and excellent power efficiency. We expect that the co- innovation lab will accelerate the R&D of eco-friendly and innovative solutions on an Intel-based platform that meet the needs of customers in Japan. We also expect that the efforts of the SAP Co-Innovation Lab Tokyo will help business development."

Speeding Time to Value for ERP Upgrades

Together with VMware Japan, SAP used the lab setting to identify the advantages of employing virtualization in SAP ERP upgrade projects using servers equipped with multi-core Intel processors. The one-month project proved that unifying existing servers into a virtual environment is possible through upgrade, and that system-proving activities can be done more easily utilizing VMware solutions. The result of this project was a white paper that partners and customers can use as a guide to achieving advantages throughout the upgrade process. As adoption of SAP ERP continues to build, SAP and partners are providing relevant tools and solutions that enable companies to take advantage of opportunities to improve business processes within the implementation process, enabling them to more rapidly deliver benefits to the business.

Inagural Co-Innovation Lab Exemplifies Success

Opened in June 2007, SAP's inaugural co-innovation lab in Palo Alto, California has demonstrated continuous success in innovation. With projects covering topics such as enterprise collaboration, SOA management, disaster recovery for SAP environments and business performance management, SAP and its lab partners have identified numerous solutions to address specific customer needs (see June 18, 2008 press release, titled "Ground-Breaking Projects Emerging from SAP Co-Innovation Lab Address Today's Pressing Business Challenges").

"The addition of the SAP Co-Innovation Lab in Tokyo exemplifies the reach and power of the SAP ecosystem," said Zia Yusuf, executive vice president, Global Ecosystem and Partner Group, SAP. "It is a natural fit for Japan, a global leader in technological innovations, to be the location of our second co-innovation lab. The region's traditionally strong focus on custom development makes it a prime location for co-innovation with customers and partners, which can be delivered to SAP's global customer base. We are proud of our recognized spirit of collaboration."

"Technologies previously only found in high-end NLOS solutions are now available in the new cost effective and economical PTP 300 platform," said Shaukat Ahmed Reshi, CEO of SAR Telecom. "The new PTP 300 platform offers performance, features and reliability unmatched by any product in its class.

HealthFitness Expands eHealth Content, Providing Health Management Clients With Five Times More Health Information OnlinePartnership with EBSCO Publishing brings clients enhanced eHealth resource

MINNEAPOLIS, July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- HealthFitness (OTC Bulletin Board: HFIT) announced today it has quintupled the amount of education content on its Web-based eHealth platform. The enhancements were realized through a new partnership with EBSCO Publishing and became available to HealthFitness customers through the HealthFitness eHealth platform on July 1. HealthFitness is a leading provider of employee health management programs. Managing more than 400 fitness centers globally, the company also offers a suite of health management services on-site, Web-based and telephonically.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070830/HFLOGO )

Health Library(TM) from EBSCO Publishing is URAC-accredited with content written and reviewed by qualified medical experts. It is organized and accessible in a Web-friendly format that is designed to be used the way consumers seek information on the Internet. Content is available in Spanish as well as in English, and is written in layman's terms so consumers can easily understand it.

According to research from the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 80 percent of American Internet users have searched for health information topics online. The information now available to HealthFitness clients includes disease fact sheets, information about procedures and tests, magazine-style articles about wellness topics, alternative and natural treatments, a drug database that provides details about prescriptions and a medical dictionary. Illustrations and animations help support understanding of the material, which can be seamlessly integrated into a client's employee health portal.

"Health Library offers tools that HealthFitness clients can use to help employees better understand their health status, and to make conversations with their health care providers more robust when they do seek care," said Gregg O. Lehman, Ph.D, president and CEO of HealthFitness. "Informed consumers can take steps to improve their own health, and Health Library is a trusted resource they can turn to at any time to get the answers they need."

In addition to the wealth of information available through Health Library, HealthFitness's Medical Director Jim Reynolds, MD, said the resource is notable for the quality of the information presented.

"The condition and procedure fact sheets cover 95 percent of all the issues American consumers will encounter, so we're putting a lot of valuable information into the hands of our clients and their employees through this library," Reynolds said. "We are very pleased we can provide materials that are reviewed by qualified medical experts and subjected to a rigorous review process. So much of what consumers find by just surfing the Internet isn't medically reviewed. Our clients can have confidence that what they read in Health Library is verified and scientifically based."

Iomega Extends Leadership in External Portable Storage With New EMC Backup Bundle Integrating Local and Online BackupIndustry-Leading Iomega Hard Drives Integrate MozyHome Backup Service with EMC Retrospect Backup Software

SAN DIEGO, July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Iomega Corporation, an EMC company and a global leader in consumer and small business data protection, today announced an industry first in integrating local and remote backup in a single product offering. Iomega external hard drives are now rolling out with a new downloadable software bundle that integrates EMC(R) Retrospect(R) Express backup and recovery software with Mozy(TM) online backup service, vastly improving the convenience of securely storing, protecting and accessing important files.

Today's announcement marks the first time that EMC-owned brands and market leaders Iomega, Retrospect and Mozy have united to offer consumers a single integrated hardware and software solution for nearline and online backup. EMC acquired Iomega in June, having previously purchased Dantz Development Corporation, makers of Retrospect backup software; and Berkeley Data Systems, the developers of MozyHome(TM) and MozyPro(TM) online backup software.

"The combination of Iomega external hard drives with Retrospect backup software integrated with Mozy online backup service means storing, protecting and accessing digital files is now easier than ever before," said Jonathan Huberman, President of the Consumer and Small Business Products Group at EMC Corporation. "Computer users now have a seamless backup system for local backup of every file, as well as backup to the cloud for files that warrant another copy. This bundled solution provides the versatility of any time, anywhere access.

"Industry-leading Iomega storage devices provide tremendous capacity and dependability for storing all of a user's files while Mozy and Retrospect Express work seamlessly with each other so the user has both regular local backups of all files as well as an extra level of security and remote access for files stored online," continued Huberman. "This integrated product combination is the first example of EMC's consumer and small business product division bringing computer users an unparalleled combination of the best hardware, software and services in the market today."

Iomega Hard Drive Owners Get a Total Storage Solution Right Out of the Box

Today, buyers of Iomega external hard drives can now choose the version of Retrospect Express backup software that is right for their needs, as well as the easy-to-use added bonus of 2 GB* of MozyHome online backup for free or unlimited MozyHome online backup storage for $4.95 a month**.

EMC(R) MozyHome is a consumer service that enables Windows and Mac users to securely back up important files -- such as photos, music, videos, financial documents and more -- over the Internet to world-class EMC data centers. By automatically sending copies of these files to a safe, remote location, MozyHome provides protection against fire, theft, natural disaster, and all the other unexpected events from which a local backup provides little or no relief. And because MozyHome backs up throughout the day and night, it provides an additional layer of protection from hardware failure and accidental deletion. With 2GB of free storage, MozyHome makes it easy to try online backup.

New buyers of Iomega hard drives will receive in the product box details on how to download the free license of the Retrospect Express software of their choice (for Windows or Macintosh platforms) and the MozyHome Free 2GB, as well as the offer of unlimited MozyHome online storage for $4.95 a month. Owners of Iomega hard drives that have previously downloaded Retrospect can update to these latest versions free of charge either through automatic product updates or by proactively going to the Help Menu within the Retrospect user interface and clicking on "Update." Registered Iomega customers with product still under warranty*** will be sent emails giving them information on how they can participate in this program as well.

There are three free download options of Retrospect software available to new owners of Iomega hard drives:

Retrospect Express HD 2.5 for Windows (includes MozyHome integration) works seamlessly to enable simple, reliable backups. The two programs can share setup information and send backups to either nearline storage (an external hard drive or network drive) or online storage (the internet), or both. Retrospect Express HD protects the contents of a PC by regularly making a backup copy and storing the backup on a second local hard drive or one on the network. It's easy, fast and reliable, and even backs up open files so that a computer does not have to be shut down to initiate a back up. A setup wizard guides the user through three quick steps: choose what to protect, select a hard drive to hold the backups, and set a schedule.

Retrospect Express 7.6 for Windows (with integrated launch into MozyHome or MozyPro) is more configurable for advanced users, protecting a single Windows desktop or notebook computer by backing up to internal and external hard drives, NAS devices, CD/DVDs and removable drives such as Iomega's award-winning removable HDD technology, the REV Backup Drive. Retrospect Express 7.6 delivers proven data protection capabilities in an easy-to-use software package that includes built-in open-file support. A launch button for MozyHome and MozyPro online backup software is built into Retrospect Express 7.6.

Retrospect Express for Macintosh 6.1 protects a single Macintosh desktop or notebook computer by backing up to internal and external hard drives, NAS devices, CD/DVDs and removable drives such as REV. Retrospect Express delivers proven data protection capabilities in an easy-to-use software package. MozyHome online backup service has not yet been integrated into Retrospect Express for Macintosh 6.1, but the MozyHome software available on the Iomega download site and supports Mac OS X 10.4 and above.

Iomega Portable and Desktop Hard Drives

Iomega has one of the broadest lines of portable and external desktop hard drives in the market today. Iomega 2.5-inch portable hard drives range in capacity from 80GB to 320GB, including the popular eGo(TM) portable hard drive, available in 160GB, 250GB and 320 GB models. Iomega portable hard drives are available as USB-powered models that require no external power supply, as well as dual interface models that incorporate USB 2.0 and Firewire 400 interfaces. Iomega's line of 3.5-inch desktop hard drives range in capacity from 500GB to 1.5TB, including the recently announced 1TB Iomega eGo Desktop Hard Drive, available in several personalized colors. Iomega desktop hard drives are available as USB 2.0 only, dual interface (USB 2.0 and Firewire 400, or USB 2.0 and eSATA), triple interface (USB 2.0, Firewire 400 and Firewire800), and tetra interface models (USB 2.0, Firewire 400, Firewire 800 and eSATA).

Availability

Iomega external hard drives with the new downloadable software bundle that integrates EMC(R) Retrospect(R) Express software with Mozy online backup service will be available this month in the U.S. at retail, online, catalogue and other channels; the integrated product offering will be available in international markets later this summer.

Users of EMC Retrospect Express can upgrade for a fee to EMC Retrospect Professional for Windows or Desktop for Macintosh to add increased functionality with computing environments that have more than one computer and/or mixed operating systems (Windows, Macintosh and Linux). Retrospect Professional and Windows or Desktop for Macintosh each comes with two additional heterogeneous clients so that users can backup three computers on a network. Users can also purchase more clients as needed. These Retrospect upgrades can be purchased through a channel partner such as a reseller for a significant cost savings.

Nanette Lepore Standardizes on SonicWALL Technology For Its Network Security InfrastructureWorking with Systems Integrator Webistix Haute Couture Designer selects SonicWALL for anti-virus, e-mail, back-up and remote access security solutions

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SonicWALL, Inc. , a leading secure network infrastructure company, today announced that internationally-known haute couture designer Nanette Lepore has selected SonicWALL technology to provide secure access to its distributed network and protect its Point of Sale system for all credit card transactions. Since implementing the SonicWALL infrastructure in 2007, Nanette Lepore has streamlined the network security infrastructure as well as protected both customers and employees from sophisticated and damaging security threats and credit card fraud.

"Unless a company is looking to implement a full blown IT staff, they have to look for a way and means of being able to manage the network with a very small staff and implement the best technology that requires minimal support," said Jose Cruz, Network Specialist for Nanette Lepore. "SonicWALL helps streamline IT while maintaining an effective IT presence within the company."

Nanette Lepore's Implementation:

Nanette Lepore is a haute couture fashion designer who works with high end clientele. In addition to having 10 boutiques in the states, one in London and one in Tokyo, her clothes can be found in premier retailers including Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Because of the distributed nature of Nanette Lepore's business, the company hired two full-time employees, including Cruz, to help manage and maintain each store's technology, POS, and inventory at the retail warehouse.

On Saturday, October 20, 2007, the FBI notified Nanette Lepore that hackers had compromised 1,300 credit and debit cards. Hackers had penetrated a supposedly secure network environment, changed the configuration file for the Netopia router, compromised its point of sale system, taken screen captures of customers' credit card purchases and then sold these stolen IDs to a buyer in Spain. Nanette Lepore was forced to shut down stores in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York, for 1-2 days, losing approximately $1-$1.5 million worth of business. Cruz immediately called Nanette Lepore's systems integrator, Webistix, asking for a review to create PCI compliant network security. Webistix analyzed the situation that very weekend and, based on their recommendation, Nanette Lepore selected SonicWALL for its network security.

"Webistix recommended SonicWALL to secure our network environment after reviewing PCI compliant Spec sheets," said Cruz. "We then engaged a PCI Auditor to target the Las Vegas store and attempt to breach the security. We passed with flying colors. From that point on, I installed SonicWALL TZ 180s in all of our stores."

Using SonicWALL, Nanette Lepore went from having a demonstrably vulnerable security system to being locked down to a point where the service company could not access the network for maintenance. All visitors -- whether it be network maintenance or investors -- have a temporary account with a timer on it. Nanette Lepore uses seven of SonicWALL's security solutions to protect its distributed network across the stores and its main warehouse, Point of Sales system, inventory management and business applications. Products used include the PRO 3060, the TZ 180, the SSL-VPN 2000, CDP 4440i and SES 300.

With SonicWALL's SSL-VPN, Nanette Employees can securely and remotely access their retail and inventory databases from a wide range of devices (a Mac, Powerbook, iPhone or a pocketPC) on multiple platforms (Mac or PC). With SonicWALL's CDP, Nanette Lepore is able to plug-and-play external hard drives and backup scripts instead of manually backing up tapes in the drives. The E- mail security and spam blocking solution blocks up to 25,000 spam emails per day.

Cruz has gone from spending an entire day trying to trouble shoot a down network and server to having no security problems at all. Now most of Cruz's time is spent reengineering the desktops and trying to think of new ways for the workflow of the design staff to go from the creative end to the finished product. Future uses include upgrading the TZ 180s and implementing WiFi in all of Nanette's conference rooms.

"Nanette Lepore has a reputation for being on time with all of our deliveries because of the way we do things. We're known as a leader and innovator in the industry," said Cruz. "After using SonicWALL, we have been able to enhance the value of this company. Our success has opened the eyes of a lot of people."

Halifax Announces Fiscal 2008 Financial Results'The Company Forecasts Profitability for First Quarter'

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Halifax Corporation today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Revenues for fiscal year 2008 were $43.9 million compared to $50.7 million for the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenues in 2008 was attributable to the termination of certain large nation-wide enterprise maintenance contracts, including the loss of a large aeronautic manufacturing customer.

The Company reported an operating loss of $1.8 million for fiscal 2008 as compared to a breakeven result for the prior fiscal year. The loss in fiscal year 2008 was primarily as a result of the loss of certain large nation-wide enterprise maintenance contracts, a charge to increase our reserve for obsolete inventory, the settlement of litigation and a charge for fees related to an acquisition transaction that failed to close. The increase in the reserve for obsolete inventory resulted from changes in the mix of the equipment that we support, as a result of technology upgrades by our customers.

The Company reported a net loss of $2.5 million or ($0.77) per basic and diluted share for fiscal year 2008. This compares to a net loss of $2.4 million or ($0.76) per basic and diluted share for fiscal year 2007. The net loss for fiscal year 2008 was attributable to reduced margins as a result of losses in revenue and increases in our reserve for obsolete inventory and operating costs. The net loss for fiscal year 2007 was principally the result of a loss on an equipment roll out project in the fourth quarter, a charge to increase our reserve for inventory obsolescence, and a charge to record a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset.

It was also noted that the Company is once again profitable and cash flow positive and we expect to report earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 of approximately $200,000 or $0.06 per basic and diluted share.

Charles McNew, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Fiscal year 2008 was a transition year for the Company and we believe the losses are now behind us. A significant portion of the losses were comprised of one time charges. We have carefully managed our cash flow and have been able to pay down a sizeable portion of our bank debt in recent months. We have also secured new long-term financing which combined with comprehensive restructuring actions has enabled us to enhance our service model while dramatically reducing labor costs and parts risk. We are confident that our new service model, which targets the supply chain management marketplace is rapidly positioning us for a return to market share expansion."

McNew added, "As we look forward to fiscal year 2009, we are forecasting a solidly profitable first quarter and believe there is a basis to view this as a sustainable environment. We are also continuing to develop a robust pipeline of new business opportunities for both Enterprise Logistics Services and Field Maintenance Solutions opportunities."

For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, revenues were $9.0 million compared to $13.0 million for the same period last year. The operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $887,000 compared to an operating loss of $822,000 for the same period last year. The Company reported a net loss of $955,000 or ($0.30) per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to a restated net loss of $2.6 million or ($0.81) per basic share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

The Company will host a conference call for investors at 11 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, July 16, 2008, to review the financial and operational results for the quarter. The conference call phone number is 800-908-0783 for U.S. callers and 212-231-2904 for international callers. The conference call replay will be available from 1 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, July 16, 2008, to 1 p.m. EDT on Thursday, July 17, 2008. The replay number is 800-633-8284 for U.S. callers and 402-977-9140 for international callers. The reservation number is 21388610.

8x8, Inc. Partners With Aastra Telecom to Introduce Plug-and-Play IP Phones for Packet8 Business Phone Services

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 8x8, Inc. , provider of Packet8 (http://www.packet8.net/) business, mobile and residential communication services, today announced the launch of a new line of broadband agnostic, plug-and-play IP phones designed to enhance the features and functionality of Packet8 business phone services.

Developed in conjunction with Aastra Telecom, a global provider of enterprise communication products, systems and solutions, the Packet8 675xi series of IP phones incorporates 8x8's advanced NAT traversal technologies to facilitate the same network-independent operational advantages Packet8 business customers currently enjoy with the existing Virtual Office business class phones and terminal adaptors. These include the ability to simply plug the phone into any public or private Internet connection and immediately make or receive calls without performing any network configuration or firewall manipulation. The Packet8 675xi IP phones also deliver enhanced equipment and service features including corporate directory display and lookup, intercom paging, shared line appearance and Power over Ethernet capability.

"We are pleased to be working with one of the most innovative telecommunications equipment manufacturers in the industry to bring this next generation of Packet8 business phones to market," said 8x8 Vice President of Sales & Marketing Huw Rees. "Small, cost conscious organizations that are migrating to IP telephony, particularly those that operate in multiple locations with different network configurations, will value the ease of use, sleek appearance, superior quality and geographic flexibility the Packet8/Aastra solution delivers. The addition of the Aastra phones to Packet8 Virtual Office will significantly enhance the end user experience and enable us to compete for even the most discriminating customer."

"Both 8x8 and Aastra pride themselves on their leading edge engineering expertise," said John Drolet, Vice President of Sales for Aastra Telecom. "We are very pleased to be working with 8x8, an established leader in the hosted iPBX space, and look forward to developing innovative, user friendly products and services with them in the future. An example of this partnership in action is the work we did together incorporating the 8x8 Network Address Traversal (NAT) code into our phones and interoperating this functionality with the 8x8 Virtual Office network. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship moving forward."

The Packet8 675xi IP phone series consists of three models -- the 6753i entry level phone, 6755i intermediate phone and 6757i CT advanced phone -- each of which offers full duplex speakerphone functionality, programmable softkey appearances, LCD display screens, embedded XML browsers and up to nine call appearance lines. All models support "Power over Ethernet," eliminating the need for a separate power supply for the phone, and come equipped with dual auto-sensing switched Ethernet ports to eliminate additional wiring for a computer and simplify installations. Additional features enabled by the Packet8 675xi series include intercom paging and direct dial from a searchable corporate directory. Prices for the Packet8 675xi series range from $129.99 for the 6753i to $349.99 for the high end 6757i CT model which includes a DECT cordless phone as part of the bundled offer. The 6757i CT model's built in DECT antenna allows the user to roam up to a 300 foot radius from the 6757i CT base telephone.

8x8, Inc. Introduces Packet8 Hosted Key System Services

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 8x8, Inc. , provider of Packet8 (http://www.packet8.net/) business, mobile and residential communication services, today announced the introduction of new Packet8 hosted Internet Protocol (IP) telephony services designed to replace traditional premise-based telephone "key systems" typically used by companies whose size or structure dictates the sharing of multiple, common phone lines among employees, regardless of where the employees are located.

Driven by the new Packet8 675xi series of IP desktop phones and the addition of shared line appearance services to the Packet8 Virtual Office platform, the new hosted key system solution provides businesses an opportunity to migrate to VoIP without altering the features, functionality and user behavior they have traditionally relied upon.

"With the introduction of the Packet8 hosted key system solution, 8x8 has expanded its addressable market to include the millions of businesses that require shared line appearance services rather than the PBX functionality offered with our Packet8 Virtual Office hosted iPBX solution," said 8x8 Vice President of Sales & Marketing Huw Rees. "Our new line of IP phones has enabled us to deploy one of the first hosted key system services in the world, enabling businesses to benefit from the lower costs associated with VoIP while maintaining the familiar key system feature set they are used to. As with all of our other business services, we also maintain the capability of having the IP phones situated at any location anywhere in the world, enabling one of the first distributed, hosted, multi-office/home-office shared line appearance services in the market."

Ideal for offices where multiple users require the ability to view and answer more than one shared phone line at their desk or anywhere in the business, the Packet8 hosted key system solution includes a searchable corporate directory, direct intercom paging from phone to phone and shared line appearance functionality which allows a group of users to accept a call, place it on hold, page a colleague and ask them to pick up the call on any one of up to nine separate lines. The Packet8 675xi IP phones can be used with both the Packet8 hosted key system service as well as the Virtual Office hosted iPBX service, separately or in combination in the same office environment.

"There are so many different facets of our industry that there really is a retail job for just about anyone."

Jablow cites the following as some of the additional benefits of working in retail:

1. Pursue your passions: Whether you're passionate about exploring the outdoors, the latest fashions, the intricacies of food or the hottest electronics gear, careers in retail allow you to bring your personal and professional passions together. Most retailers encourage and provide opportunities for employees to become experts in the products they market and sell.

2. Diversity: Retailers are looking for candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences. Your area of study and previous employment can play a role, but aren't necessarily the deciding factors when it comes to employment.

AirTran Airways Signs Exclusive EcoPower(R) Engine Wash Agreement

FARNBOROUGH, England, July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARNBOROUGH AIR SHOW -- JET Aircraft Maintenance, Inc., a designated service provider of Pratt & Whitney Global Service Partners EcoPower(R) engine wash services, signed an exclusive agreement with AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings . Pratt & Whitney is a United Technologies Corp. company.

Under the agreement, AirTran will use EcoPower(R) engine wash services on its fleet of 143 aircraft, which consists of Boeing 737-700s and 717-200s. AirTran is a low-fare airline offering business class, new planes with XM Satellite Radio, assigned seats and one of the world's youngest all-Boeing fleets.

"With today's rising fuel costs, we see EcoPower(R) engine wash, and this agreement with JET Aircraft Maintenance, as a key step to improving our operating costs," said AirTran Vice President of Maintenance and Engineering Kirk Thornburg. "Over time, we expect this agreement to save AirTran about a million gallons of fuel annually, which leads right to savings at the bottom line."

In December, Pratt & Whitney established a five-year agreement with JET Aircraft Maintenance, Inc. of Miami, Fla. The agreement authorizes JET to be the exclusive provider of the patented EcoPower(R) on-wing jet engine wash service at five airports in South Florida, with a capacity to wash as many as 1,000 engines per year.

"Pratt & Whitney's EcoPower(R) engine wash service is the best in the industry," said Miguel A. Villacorta, president and CEO, JET Aircraft Maintenance, Inc. "As a leading line maintenance provider in the United States, we are pleased to offer this effective, environmentally friendly service to AirTran."

EcoPower(R) washes reduce engine fuel burn by as much as 1.2 percent, eliminate three pounds of carbon dioxide emissions for every pound of fuel saved, and decrease exhaust gas temperature by as much as 15 degrees Celsius, improving performance and increasing the amount of time an engine can stay on wing.

The EcoPower(R) service uses a closed-loop system with pure, atomized water to wash aircraft engines, thus avoiding potential contaminant runoff. The system is more effective and much faster than traditional engine washing processes. Issued patents and applications cover various aspects of EcoPower(R) engine wash services in several countries relating to features such as water atomization, the closed-loop system, effluent collection process and purification techniques.

"We're pleased to have JET Aircraft Maintenance, Inc., as one of our strategic maintenance partners," said Jim Keenan, senior vice president & general manager, Pratt & Whitney Global Service Partners. "With key hubs in these popular South Florida markets, JET extends Pratt & Whitney Global Service Partners' ability to reach domestic airlines and European and Latin/South American carriers with our industry leading engine wash service."

Through its franchise agreement, JET operates EcoPower(R) service centers at Miami International Airport (MIA), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), Tampa International Airport (TPA), and Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW).

JET Aircraft Maintenance, Inc. is a leading FAA and EASA certified repair station offering line maintenance support and services at 11 airports across the United States. With more than 600 PMA parts, JET offers flight deck crew seat repairs, overhauls, and class 3 expendables through its sister company JET Repair Center, Inc.

AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc., a Fortune 1000 company, ranked No. 1 in the 2008 Airline Quality Rating study. The airline offers more than 700 affordable, daily flights to 57 U.S. destinations, employs 8,900 friendly Crew Members. For more information and free online booking, visit airtran.com.

"We're also able to monitor the pace of play and send inclement weather warnings to each group when necessary. We anticipate lifting our food and beverage revenues and boosting tournament play thanks to the scoring software."

"It's a pleasure to count a historic course like Swope Memorial among our trusted partners," said Lawrence D. Bain, CEO of ProLink Solutions. "All courses, from the most modern resort to 'Golden Age' classics, can benefit from ProLink's management and revenue-generating technology. And with each facility added to our media network, ProLink delivers an ever-expanding audience of affluent golfers to our advertisers."

With ProLink's patented, 10.4" high-resolution color screen -- the industry's largest -- Swope Memorial's cart-mounted units display dynamic, easy-to-read graphics including distances to the pin and hazards, pro tips, pace-of-play timer and radial arc for cart-path-only holes.

Waste Management Launches Online Service for Compact Fluorescent Bulb Recycling From HomeThinkGreenFromHome.com provides streamlined consumer recycling solutions for household electronic waste

HOUSTON, July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Waste Management, Inc. , North America's leading provider of comprehensive waste management services, today launched ThinkGreenFromHome.com, a streamlined online service for the recycling of universal household waste including compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), batteries, and eventually other household electronics. ThinkGreenFromHome.com offers consumers convenient mail-in solutions to safely store and recycle heavy metal containing household devices, as well as resources to encourage household sustainability.

CFL recycling represents the core service ThinkGreenFromHome.com offers consumers. CFLs provide energy savings and help reduce a household's environmental profile. However, since the devices contain mercury, proper handling and disposal of the bulbs is an important consideration. CFL use is growing rapidly -- it is expected that some 4 billion CFLs will be in household use by 2012 -- but safe, convenient methods for recycling CFLs and other household universal waste have previously been lacking.

To safely store and recycle used CFLs and batteries, customers can order online and receive prepaid-postage kits delivered to their door. Think Green(R) From Home CFL recycling kits incorporate Mercury VaporLok(TM) technology, which is designed to reduce the risk of airborne exposure and environmental contamination from lamps broken during storage and shipping. The kits are suitable for both the storage and transport of discarded bulbs or batteries and are approved for shipping by the United States Postal Service. Consumers can ship the boxes directly from their home or at any one of the over 34,000 postal offices across the country.

"Waste Management helps consumers responsibly handle the growing household universal waste stream," said Rick Cochrane, senior business director of Waste Management's LampTracker(R) program. "With the 2012 deadline for the use of CFLs, customers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to properly dispose of household universal waste and the Think Green(R) From Home program makes recycling this waste as safe and convenient as possible."

WM LampTracker(R), a division of Waste Management, also provides total-care solutions for the storage, handling, transport and recycling of fluorescent lamps for small, medium and large-scale businesses across North America. ThinkGreenFromHome.com uses the WM LampTracker(R) service record in the commercial sector to provide the most streamlined avenue for consumers to recycle their universal household waste with confidence.

ThinkGreenFromHome.com is part of Waste Management's sustainability initiative that was announced last October at the World Business Forum committing the company to investing in new technologies to enhance its waste business as well as nearly tripling the amount of recyclables it manages by 2020.

China's Saas examples include the platform operator modes of Alibaba and Digital China; telecom carriers' integrated marketing model by right of network and user resources, such as BizNavigator; state organs and governments' authoritative SaaS application, such as Ministry of Commerce's International Trade and Economic Affairs; traditional software manufacturers UFIDA's mode; Kingdee's online management software and e-commerce; eAbax's whole e-commerce, Microsoft's ''S+S'' strategy and Live strategy, Oracle's On Demand mode. Besides, more and more companies now take part in SaaS.

Manufacturers' cooperations are frequent in this immature market: IBM and Lehman Brothers acquired Kingdee to develop SaaS business; Japanese Softbank BB cooperates with Digital China; IBM cooperates with Mainone; Alisoft cooperates with many foreign software providers.

The rapid growth of a SMEs IT application market give rise to developments in SaaS. Manufacturers devoted to SaaS now pay more attention to SMEs market. Because of sufficient IT budget, perfect system construction, complicated system architecture and high requirements for integration, large enterprises have a lower interest in SaaS market.

SaaS products' security and stability are major concerns for users. Users value availability of service at any moment and stability of network operation. Security of data transmission and management of manufacturers' data storage are also aspects that manufacturers need to look after in order to win customers.

Atmel Introduces a Family of AVR Microcontrollers for Automotive LIN Networking Applications

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel(R) Corporation announced today the availability of a new family of AVR(R) 8-bit microcontrollers for LIN Automotive networking applications. The ATtiny167 is the first device and is optimized to LIN slave applications. It will be qualified to AECQ-100 grade 0 and sustain ambient temperatures of up to 150 degrees Celsius. Combined with a LIN transceiver such as ATA662x or ATA666x it brings a complete solution for sensors in a gearbox, exhaust gas system, pumps or turbo.

Many Automotive body electronic subsystems such as door locks, window lift, wipers, lighting systems, sun and rain sensors are connected via LIN networks. They request tiny LIN controllers with Analog/Digital converters for sensors signal formatting and a 16-bit PWM channel to control Half bridge drivers such as Atmel's ATA6831/32 or H bridge motors control such as Atmel's ATA6223.

The ATtiny167 includes a hardware LIN UART with automatic baud rate synchronization in slave mode. A frame processing request of only 2 interrupts, one for LIN identifier available and one for transmit or receive completed. Thanks to the collaboration with Mentor Graphics(R), a leading manufacturer of software tools and software components for automotive networking, a complete hardware and LIN software networking solution is available.

With integrated hardware routines, the code size for LIN is reduced to about 1 Kbyte of Flash leaving about 15 Kbytes of Flash to the user application. Automatic synchronization is performed on each entering frame without calling for any CPU resources and Interrupt generation is limited to the extreme minimum to not jeopardize the real time capability of the application.

Mentor Graphics LIN Drivers - "One of the critical requirements for using embedded processors in the automotive market is the availability of an effective and well-supported LIN communication stack," said Michel Passemard, Director of Automotive MCU Tactical Marketing at Atmel.

As a founding member of the LIN consortium and with extensive experience in developing embedded software for communication systems, Mentor Graphics helps by gathering the requirements of OEMs with respect to LIN and synthesize them into the LIN specification since 1999.

"We're happy to support Atmel's latest product with our latest version of LTP based on the LIN2.1 standard," said Joachim Langenwalter, Director of Mentor's Automotive Network Design business unit. "Our efforts are focused on making the most efficient implementation with respect to memory footprint and speed, while implementing the standard and testing according to the latest conformance tests." As a result our LIN implementation is particularly well suited to support slave applications used in very small microcontrollers."

Development Tools - Atmel's AVR Studio(R) and AVR JTAGICE mkII, provide a multiplatform integrated development environment (IDE). The STK(R)600 with STK600-SOIC add-on starter kit is available to start development.

Availability and Pricing -

Samples for the ATtiny167 are available now. Packages are available in a 20-pin SOIC, 20-Pin TSSOP and 32-pin QFN. The ATtiny167 will be qualified at 125 degrees Celsius in all packages and 150 degrees Celsius in QFN and TSSOP packages. It will be available for volume production in December 2008.

Prices start at $1.48 in 10,000 quantities for the 125 degrees qualified version.

The ATtiny87 and ATtiny327, with 8 Kbytes and 32 Kbytes Flash, respectively, will be introduced later in 4Q2008.
