Patent Infringement Suit Against ProLink Without Merit

CHANDLER, Ariz., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ProLink Holdings Corp. (BULLETIN BOARD: PLKH) , the world's leading provider of GPS - enabled golf management systems, responded today to a suit claiming patent infringement that was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by GPS Industries, Inc. (GPSI) (BULLETIN BOARD: GPSN) against its subsidiary ProLink Solutions, LLC, and other defendants. The suit alleges infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,685,786 and U.S. Patent No. 5,438,518, and other matters. The Company believes that the suit is baseless and without merit. ProLink intends to defend itself vigorously, and will continue to pursue previously announced litigation against GPSI aggressively. Furthermore, ProLink also believes that it does not infringe either of '518 or '768 patents with its product and service offerings, and it is surprised that GPSI's management would file such an action.

On November 2, 2007, ProLink announced that it had filed a patent infringement suit in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona against GPSI and other parties for patent infringement. ProLink believes that the parties have violated and continue to violate ProLink's U.S. Patent No. 6,525,690, "Golf Course Yardage and Information System With Zone Detection." This Patent, among other claims, controls the ability to place advertising on a GPS System on a Golf Course. The Company also believes that the parties have violated and continue to violate U.S. Patent No. 6,236,940, "Display Monitor for Golf Cart Yardage and Information System," and U.S. Patent No. 6,470,242 and "Display Monitor for Golf Cart Yardage and Information System," which include claims directed to monitor location and design. In addition to ProLink's patent infringement allegations, ProLink's action also asks the Federal District Court in Arizona to declare not only that ProLink does not infringe the '786 patent, but that the '786 patent is also invalid. Furthermore, ProLink also seeks injunctive relief as well as monetary damages.

"With this matter already pending in the Arizona Court, and our clear non infringement on the '518 and '786 patents, it is unfortunate that GPSI is attempting to distract our ongoing expansion with such a meritless action," said Steven Fisher, Chairman of ProLink Solutions. "We will not allow this litigation to distract us from our mandates of profitable growth and expanded market share. We have achieved a dominant market presence by providing a superior experience and product to our golfers, golf course customers, suppliers and partners. Our team is fully focused on profitable performance as the future will demonstrate."

About ProLink

ProLink Solutions is the world's leading provider of GPS golf course management systems and revenue-generating on-course advertising.

General Dynamics Completes Milestone in MUOS Defense Satellite Communications System

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics C4 Systems recently mounted three 18.4-meter satellite antennas on 53-foot-tall pedestals in Wahiawa, Hawaii, as part of the preparations to deploy the new Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), the U.S. military's next-generation narrowband global mobile satellite communications system. General Dynamics, under contract to Lockheed Martin , has overall responsibility for the ground-based segment of the MUOS system.

The MUOS system will provide cell phone-like services to ground-based warfighters around the globe, with the satellites acting as "cell towers" in space. The system will enable users to communicate directly with each other and their commanders virtually anywhere in the world.

The Wahiawa ground station is the first of four that will be equipped with MUOS satellite antenna systems. The other MUOS ground stations will be located in Norfolk, Va.; Geraldton, Australia; and Niscemi, Italy.

"These antenna installations mark a significant milestone in the development and fielding of the MUOS Ground System," said John Weidman, vice president of National Systems for General Dynamics C4 Systems. "The MUOS earth terminals utilize a state-of-the-art Ka-Band antenna designed with highly accurate auto-tracking to meet system performance and availability. The large 18.4 meter antenna design pushes the envelope of what has been fielded in this frequency band in the past."

MUOS leverages third generation (3G) Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) cellular phone technology in the implementation of the ground segment. The MUOS Ground System provides communications and controls interfaces between the MUOS satellites and U.S. Department of Defense Earth-based communication networks. It features earth-terminal infrastructure and Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, including switching facilities, network management and satellite command-and-control elements.

Additionally, General Dynamics is developing the MUOS User Entry Terminal Waveform software library for future use by radios being developed under the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) program. The company also will engineer the wireless protocol for communication between user terminals and the satellites.

General Dynamics began work in September 2004 with Lockheed Martin Space Systems (Sunnyvale, Calif.) to provide the user-entry and integrated ground segments for the MUOS system. The first MUOS satellite is scheduled for on-orbit hand-over to the U.S. Navy in 2010 along with the entire ground system.

General Dynamics C4 Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics , is a leading integrator of secure communication and information systems and technology.

General Dynamics, headquartered in Falls Church, Va., employs approximately 84,000 people worldwide and reported 2007 revenues of $27.2 billion. The company is a market leader in business aviation; land and expeditionary combat systems, armaments and munitions; shipbuilding and marine systems; and information systems and technologies.

Survey Shows CEOs Are Making Collaboration a Top PrioritySenior Executives at Small and Midsize Enterprises Join Large Enterprises in Embrace of Business Networks as Pathways to New Markets and Business Growth, According to BusinessWeek Research Services Survey and Report

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A new survey finds that C-level executives are increasingly turning to collaboration with their business networks as a way in which to win new markets and address quickly evolving customer needs. According to the survey conducted by BusinessWeek Research Services (BWRS) and commissioned by SAP AG , these executives also plan to expand their collaboration efforts even further over the next three years. Additionally, nearly twice as many small businesses and midsize companies expect to rely heavily on collaboration within the next three years. The C-level executives surveyed emphasized the importance of information technology (IT) and its role in facilitating integration to support their companies' business goals of increased levels of collaboration with customers, partners and suppliers.

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

Titled "Getting Serious About Collaboration: How Companies are Transforming Their Business Networks," the research report about the survey finds that large and midsize businesses plan to expand their reliance on their business network of partners by more than a third over the next three years. Approximately one out of three respondents identified access to new markets and customers as one of the top benefits to collaboration today. Roughly half of the respondents said they are currently counting on partners for R&D, manufacturing, marketing, logistics, distribution, customer service, human resources or other corporate functions -- and two-thirds expect to be reliant on third parties for these functions to some extent by 2011. Large and midsize businesses also plan to outsource 18 percent of their operations by 2011. They already outsource 13.4 percent of their operations to date.

In the survey findings, a Procter & Gamble executive addresses the reasons for seeking out third parties for collaboration:

"The reason we had to do it was that the world had changed," says Jeff Weedman, vice president for external business development at manufacturer Procter & Gamble Co. "Only about one-third of the products we brought to market were successes. The fast-followers were getting faster, and the retailers were increasingly our competitors ... Over time, we've been able to understand networks and the value of them, so we've added places to look for ideas and technologies."

Small Businesses and Midsize Companies Embrace Collaboration

The survey findings show that collaboration is skyrocketing for small and midsize enterprises (SMEs, 100-1,000 employees). These companies now recognize co-innovation with partners as a pathway to growth. Nearly twice as many SMEs are expecting to rely more heavily on collaboration in the next three years. The survey findings show that the percentage of business operations supported by external partners of SMEs will triple by 2011 and are approaching the level of partnering currently used by large companies. In addition to gaining access to new markets and obtaining cost benefits, SMEs emphasize improved quality as one of the most important benefits for collaboration.

The Rising Importance of IT to Enable Collaboration

As the role of collaboration changes, the need for a robust IT infrastructure becomes even more important to drive success across partnerships. Only half of the C-level executives responding to the survey are confident that their IT infrastructures will be able to support their collaboration strategies during the next three years. This result underscores the crucial role IT plays in facilitating collaboration and enabling business transformation. While CEOs are embracing the concept of developing customer- centric business models by optimizing the company's network of employees, suppliers, customers, partners and distributors, IT needs to play a strategic role to make it all work.

As mentioned in the survey findings, The Dow Chemical Company's heavy investment in IT in the mid-1990s set it apart from other companies in the low-margin chemical industry. It ditched fragmented legacy systems and created common work processes. Its smooth-running technology became the gold standard among large companies in its industry. Dow's IT infrastructure is the crucial foundation platform that enabled a successful overhaul of its strategy and business model.

"The findings of this survey confirm that collaboration is being increasingly recognized as a pathway to growth, innovation and competitive differentiation," said Zia Yusuf, executive vice president, Global Ecosystem and Partner Group, SAP. "In an early acknowledgment of this trend, SAP itself is a practitioner of business network transformation through collaboration. Through our ecosystem of partner and customers, we are helping to accelerate innovation and improve return on investment for our customers. The SAP ecosystem brings together diverse relationships, resources, and communities to help create the next generation of technology solutions in concert with our own development efforts."

In addition to the survey, SAP also has engaged business leaders worldwide on the subject of collaborative business networks.

Please visit, "Getting Serious About Collaboration: How Companies are Transforming Their Business Networks," to view the research report.

BusinessWeek Research Survey Methodology

BusinessWeek Research Services (BWRS) launched a survey and research program in early 2008 to discover and analyze the views of C-level executives and line-of-business executives on collaboration with third parties. BWRS received responses from 353 C-level executives of companies with at least 100 employees in January 2008 via an online questionnaire. Respondents were from a wide variety of industries including manufacturing, financial services, healthcare/pharmaceuticals/life sciences, transportation/utilities and wholesale/retail. The quantitative survey was complemented with qualitative research. BWRS conducted in-depth telephone interviews with senior executives from a cross-selection of industries. BWRS also conducted interviews with leading independent consultants, industry analysts and academics to provide context and additional insights.

"We are proud of this partnership and will use it to improve our internal processes as well as help our customers achieve increasingly higher levels of excellence," said Marcia Kim, President, CIBER Federal Government Solutions Division.

Next Inning Technology Previews Earnings for VMWare, Anadigics, Broadcom, and Zhone Technologies

PRINCETON, N.J., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for VMWare , Anadigics , Broadcom and Zhone Technologies .

In a series of reports released in March, Editor Paul McWilliams advised readers it was time to buy specific tech stocks. His selections went up considerably with one very near doubling. However, in May and early June, he warned readers it was time to take some profits and prepare for the summer swoon he saw coming. Now that tech stocks have taken a significant hit, is it time to start buying again? Click to read his updated thoughts and enjoy a 21-day free trial of Next Inning:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn693

In his earnings preview, McWilliams wrote: "While some observers may be critical of EMC CEO and VMWare Chairman Joe Tucci's recent oversight of EMC spin-off, VMWare, which recently announced a CEO change in conjunction with lowered guidance, my thinking is the change was made in a timely fashion versus what we see at many other companies where changes are delayed until problems fester. Basically, what we saw was a seasoned business manager replacing the entrepreneurial CEO. This happens..."

McWilliams also looks at these topics:

-- Might VMWare investors be better off considering majority owner EMC instead? What is McWilliams' take on VMWare's options re-pricing plan?

-- Is Wall Street unfairly skeptical of Anadigics? Is the stock now trading at an attractive valuation?

-- What challenges are facing Broadcom right now? Are the challenges reflected in Broadcom's stock price?

-- Does McWilliams see a bargain buying opportunity in Zhone?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 227% since its inception versus 76% for the Nasdaq.

Verizon Foundation Offers $45,000 in Grants to South Carolina Nonprofits and Educational InstitutionsFoundation Seeks Proposals for Innovative Projects That Support Technology in Literacy or Internet Safety Programs

COLUMBIA, S.C., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The Verizon Foundation is seeking grant proposals from nonprofit organizations and educational institutions in South Carolina for innovative projects that support the use of technology in literacy or Internet safety programs.

Literacy programs may address the areas of family, adult, early childhood or K-12 literacy, including programs that develop English as a second language or basic computer literacy skills. Verizon is particularly interested in proposals that deliver literacy training via e-learning or use technology to enhance literacy training, such as computer and Web-based training programs.

Internet safety programs should focus on those that promote online safety for children, senior citizens, families and communities.

Eligible nonprofit organizations and educational institutions may submit proposals online and compete for individual grants ranging from $1,500 to $10,000 to fund programs that most effectively match the Verizon Foundation's literacy and Internet-safety focus areas.

"As a technology company, Verizon is committed to supporting innovative initiatives that leverage broadband technology to address the social issues that are critical to the communities we serve," said Stan Bugner, state director of public affairs, policy and communications for Verizon in South Carolina. "Higher literacy rates result in stronger communities, economic growth and a skilled workforce for today's technology-driven workplace.

"With regard to Internet safety, the Internet's dynamic features also make it a convenient vehicle for those who intend to take advantage of innocent consumers," Bugner added. "As one of the principal providers of online services in America, Verizon is educating and encouraging consumers to use safe practices while online. We hope that this request for proposals will produce great opportunities for Verizon to support."

To qualify for funding, applicants must be a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a valid Internal Revenue Service tax identification number, or an accredited educational institution that has a current district registration number and is affiliated with the National Center for Education Statistics.

Proposals must be submitted through the Verizon Foundation's Web site, http://www.verizon.com/foundation, no later than Aug. 29, 2008. Qualified applicants should click on the "Grant Applications -- Apply Online Today" link, then click on the link marked "Ready to apply for a cash grant? Click here to begin." Applicants then will need to add the invitation code 486D8JUVUV.

comScore Reports the Top Web Sites in India for May 2008India One of the Fastest-Growing Internet Populations among 37 Countries Reported By the comScore World Metrix Service

RESTON, Va., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- comScore, Inc. , a leader in measuring the digital world, today released its first study of Internet usage in India, which reports that more than 28 million people in India age 15 and older accessed the Internet from home and work locations in May. This represents a 27-percent increase versus year ago, making India one of the fastest-growing Internet populations among the 37 individually-reported countries in the comScore World Metrix audience measurement service. Additionally, the fact that Internet users in India represent approximately only 3 percent of the population indicates significant potential for continued strong growth.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080115/COMSCORELOGO)

"India truly represents one of the most promising emerging Internet markets, given both the size and technological sophistication of the population," said Jack Flanagan, comScore executive vice president. "While global Internet brands like Google and Yahoo! currently reign as the most visited Web properties in India, several local players also have strong positions in the market."

Some findings from the study include:

-- The average Indian Internet user visited the Internet 25 times during the month and was online for 28 minutes per visit.

-- Those between the ages of 15-24 were the heaviest Internet users among all age segments, spending nearly 12 hours online per month on average.

-- Some of the fastest growing Web site categories during the past year included Maps (up 64 percent), Sports (up 60 percent), Entertainment -- Movies (up 55 percent), and Finance -- News/Research (up 52 percent).

Google Sites Ranks as Top Web Property in India

Google Sites ranked as the top property in India with nearly 20 million visitors in May, a 35-percent increase versus year ago. The property grew on the strength of several Google-owned entities, including Google Search (up 38 percent to 17.1 million visitors), social networking site Orkut (up 39 percent to 9.3 million visitors), blog platform Blogger.com (up 102 percent to 7.3 million visitors), and video site YouTube (up 131 percent to 6.3 million visitors).

Port of Long Beach Chooses Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Smoother Sailing With CustomersMicrosoft technology will move contact information on more than 15,000 people from desktops and notepads to a single enterprisewide database.

REDMOND, Wash., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Microsoft Corp. today announced that the Port of Long Beach in California has selected Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 to provide the technology needed to create a single repository for information on its 15,000 contacts, representing 5,000 companies.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)

Microsoft Dynamics CRM furnishes organizations with powerful, role-based customer relationship management capabilities. For the Port of Long Beach, the Microsoft solution will replace spreadsheets, desktop databases and handwritten records that currently reside in the offices of the organization's 375 employees. The technology will unify these contacts to allow access for all authorized personnel at their desks and via the Web when working remotely.

The port's Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution is being hosted by Microsoft Gold Certified Partner CRM OnTarget in Seattle. This hosting option enables the port to save money by sharing a server at the partner's location with other companies.

Long Beach is the nation's second-busiest seaport, with trade valued annually at more than $100 billion moving through its port. Currently its external contacts are maintained by each of the 16 divisions in the port's organization in separate repositories - PCs, servers or even paper notepads. The port needed a central repository for managing these contacts.

Before purchasing the Microsoft solution, the port evaluated it along with Salesforce.com and Maximizer CRM 10, selecting Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 because of its tight integration with Microsoft Office Outlook; the ability to have it externally hosted initially, with the option to bring it in-house later; and its Web interface that allows accessibility from virtually anywhere.

In making its technology selection, the Port of Long Beach assembled an evaluation team of independent consultants, which recommended CRM OnTarget and affirmed the partner's recommendation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0.

The port will focus initially on the Microsoft Office Outlook module that integrates Microsoft Dynamics CRM into each employee's familiar application for contact lists, e-mail and calendaring. It is retiring each of the other repositories that staff previously had generated.

The Port of Long Beach expects to benefit in a number of ways from its adoption of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0:

-- Integration of information. Until now, each division in the port carried out projects without coordinating contact information with the other divisions, and they were unable to share data because their separate systems did not talk to each other. Instead of existing as numerous "minicompanies," the port will be able to centralize and integrate its information from such areas as damage reporting and security.

-- Improved image with customers. Previously, one division of the port might update its information about a particular contact -- the individual's new title or address, for instance -- while other divisions did not. When the contact received information from the other divisions, the old information may have been used, making the port operation look uncoordinated. Microsoft Dynamics CRM will keep only the latest version of contact information in a single repository so that all users access the most current data.

-- Time savings. In the past, when information on an individual contact was entered by multiple staff members of the port, it would be keyed or written in several times in different repositories, with each entry requiring its own updating process. Now the organization will save time by entering and modifying contact and company data only once, making it available in real time to all the relevant port personnel.

-- More accurate data. The elimination of multiple manual entries of contact information on paper, in spreadsheets or in redundant databases will reduce the opportunity for entering incorrect information. Furthermore, the port's Microsoft Dynamics CRM technology will allow the use of drop-down boxes when searching for a contact name, eliminating spelling errors in communications to contacts and producing more accurate results in searches of the database.

-- Better reporting. Microsoft Dynamics CRM will enable individual users to produce custom reports from the centralized database, yielding more types of reports, more targeted reporting, and faster access to reports than was available before.

-- Customization by division to speed workflow. Each division will have access to its own custom tabs, fields, check boxes, views and workflows that are specific to its business dealings with customers.

The Port of Long Beach will integrate Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 not only with Outlook but also with the other Microsoft solutions it currently employs, including Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Microsoft Office Visio 2003, Microsoft Office Project 2003 and the Windows XP operating system.

"When a business deals with thousands of companies and tens of thousands of individuals, reliance on an integrated contact database is crucial," said Michael Park, corporate vice president for Microsoft's U.S. Dynamics business. "Manual or individually created systems present too many opportunities for errors that can be costly to the organization's reputation and bottom line. Microsoft Dynamics CRM can allow an organization to focus on growing the business based on centralized and accurate contact information rather than hunting for information or dealing with out-of-date data. Microsoft technology brings the whole enterprise's intelligence on customers, leads and other contacts together in one place, where it can be used reliably and effectively."

About the Port of Long Beach

The Port of Long Beach is one of America's premier seaports and a trailblazer in goods movement and environmental stewardship. Trade valued annually at more than $140 billion moves through Long Beach, making it the second-busiest seaport in the U.S. With a green port policy guiding efforts to minimize environmental impacts, the port is also a catalyst for innovative environmental programs.

ShoreTel Named 'Best Overall VOIP Provider' for Fifth Year in a RowNemertes Research Says ShoreTel Earned Top Overall VOIP Rating Based on Customer Experience

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ShoreTel(R), Inc. , a leading provider of Pure IP Unified Communications (UC) solutions, today announced that for the fifth year in a row ShoreTel has been named the Best Overall VOIP Provider in the Nemertes PilotHouse Awards for Unified Communications & Collaboration. The awards rated 24 VOIP vendors based entirely on the views and experiences of 426 customers.

ShoreTel won the Best Overall VOIP Provider award based on earning the highest average rating (4.22 out of 5) across all categories. ShoreTel was tops in:

-- Technology -- covering underlying software, platforms, intelligence and standards compliance.

-- Product Features -- focusing on handset and switch capabilities. Customers like the architecture, built-in redundancy and ability to scale by stacking additional switches.

-- Customer Service -- focusing on response time, account service, RFP process, and warranty issues. Customers like that ShoreTel listens well to suggestions for upgrades and improvements.

-- Value -- focusing on "bang for the buck" -- customers feel they received value for their expenditure. Customers like that the capital, implementation and operational costs are lower than competitors and that ShoreTel includes its Personal Call Manager desktop client with every license.

-- Solution Experience -- focusing on the ability to understand business requirements and craft solutions that meet customer needs.

-- Ease of Installation and Troubleshooting.

-- UC Vision -- indicating the best plan and outlook for moving customers from VOIP to a full UC deployment.

-- ShoreTel was also one of the top three rated vendors for integration capabilities, which tracks how well products integrate with third-party products and applications.

"We're extremely pleased that Nemertes has provided an independent opportunity for our customers to express satisfaction with their ShoreTel UC systems," said Steve Timmerman, vice president of marketing, ShoreTel. "We understand the business and communications challenges our customers face, and we will continue to create the systems that meet their most exacting demands for high reliability, ease of deployment and use, and features that provide them with a competitive edge. We are especially proud that we have earned the top spot in Nemertes' evaluation for the fifth straight year."

The Nemertes report offered the following insights into ShoreTel and its customers.

Assessing Real Customer Experiences

"One key message from these findings is that biggest does not equate to best. Although Cisco, Avaya and Nortel have the largest market share, when evaluated across all industries and all sizes of companies, they do not score in the top three providers. This indicates market share among all sizes of companies may be more a function of marketing efforts rather than true customer experience. (It is important to note the top scores change when we segment the findings by industry and by segment size... )"

A True Plug-and-Play Implementation

"ShoreTel's ease of installation has been a hallmark of its customer satisfaction. In fact, one of ShoreTel's highest scores (4.56) is for ease of installation and troubleshooting. Year after year, ShoreTel customers praise the product line, describing it as "true plug-and-play" implementation. Many initially had no intention to use ShoreTel, but VARs were able to do quick sales demonstrations in which they established a VOIP system in a matter of a few hours -- and that impressed the prospective customers enough to buy the system. 'ShoreTel has very user-friendly, durable products,' says the telecom manager for a distribution company with 400 endpoints."

A Company That Listens

"ShoreTel customers of all sizes say the vendor is responsive to concerns or problems, and that it listens well to suggestions for upgrades and improvements. 'With ShoreTel, you don't get the run-around. They do what they say, when they say they will,' says the IT director for a non-profit agency with 200 endpoints."

System Value

"ShoreTel's customers also feel they get good value with ShoreTel's product line. The capital, implementation and operational costs are lower than most competitors."

Developers can bring portability to more products with TI's breakthrough advancements in power-efficient DSPs and applications processorsNew low-power roadmap reveals more than 15 new processors for portability and performance including industry's lowest power fixed- and floating-point DSPs

HOUSTON, July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- As developers look at their next designs for medical, audio, industrial and emerging applications, there is greater demand for portability with superior features, such as a consumer-friendly graphical user interface (GUI). The balance between power and performance of a processor has traditionally meant trading off one or the other; now that is no longer the case. Giving engineers the scalable solutions they need to design both basic and feature-laden portable end products, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today introduced its breakthrough low-power processor roadmap with more than 15 new devices across four product lines. For the first time, designers will be able to easily bring portability to applications requiring high-precision floating-point processor capabilities, as TI's new roadmap includes the industry's lowest power floating-point digital signal processor (DSP). TI's new devices also enable significantly longer battery life with the industry's lowest power fixed-point DSP. Additionally, customers will have the option to design portability and feature rich GUIs into their products using TI's new ARM9(TM) and ARM9-plus-DSP applications processors. For more information, including product bulletins, visit http://www.ti.com/lowpowerprocessors.

"Throughout recent years, customers big and small have approached TI with a focus on pure performance, but there has been a shift in the last year or so and developers' first question is now, 'This is my power budget; how can TI help me do more with it?'" said Gene Frantz, TI principal fellow. "The answer is somewhat simple -- decades of experience allow TI to cut power consumption, improve ease-of-use and drive performance within its architectures through better process technology, peripheral integration, parallel processing, analog, connectivity and power management software and tools."

Days and weeks of battery life without losing performance

The types of products that benefit most from very low power fall into three general power budget categories. First are those that draw current from a low power source, such as a USB port. Next are devices where consumers expect batteries to last an entire work day, and the third category includes devices that consumers expect to function for two or more weeks without a battery change. Throughout the next 12 months, TI will offer an embedded processor solution for each of these power categories with more than 15 new devices within four product lines.

-- Low power and high precision with new TMS320C674x(TM) DSPs: For the first time, developers will have the ability to bring portability to audio, medical, industrial and other applications requiring the precision, wide dynamic range and time-to-market benefits of floating-point DSPs. Using three times less power than existing floating-point DSPs, the C674x(TM) devices deliver 24-32 bit accuracy and are the industry's lowest power floating-point DSPs. Slated for delivery in Q4 2008, the power consumption is as low as 6 mW in deep-sleep mode and 420 mW total power in active mode. For more information on power specifications, see the product bulletin at http://www.ti.com/c674xpb.

-- High performance at half the power with TMS320C640x(TM) DSPs: The C640x(TM) DSPs use half the power of existing high-performance devices in TI's TMS320C6000(TM) DSP platform, giving system designers the ability to add portability to processing-intensive applications including software defined radio, industrial instrumentation and emerging markets. Based on TI's high-performance C64+(TM) core, the devices offer power consumption as low as 6 mW in deep-sleep mode and 415 mW total power in active mode. Through pin-for-pin and software compatibility with various OMAP-L1x and C674x products, the C640x processors offer a new level of scalability and will be available in early 2009. For more information on power specifications, see the product bulletin at http://www.ti.com/c640xpb.

-- Multimedia performance and low power with OMAP-L1x applications processors: Enabling developers to integrate feature-rich GUIs as well as networking and touch screen capabilities into their portable designs, the new OMAP-L1x product line includes ARM9 and ARM9-plus-DSP architectures. The new devices will offer a variety of peripherals for networking and will run Linux or the DSP/BIOS(TM) real-time kernel for operating system flexibility. The product line is also pin-for-pin compatible with various devices in the new C674x and C640x product lines. Power consumption ranges from 6 mW in deep-sleep mode to 435 mW total power in active mode, and the devices will be available in early 2009. For more information on power specifications, see the product bulletin at http://www.ti.com/omapl1xpb.

-- Maximize battery life with TMS320C550x: For developers requiring the longest battery life, TI will be extending the low-power leadership of its TMS320C5000(TM) DSP platform with new C550x(TM) devices. The new DSPs include large on-chip memory as well as an optimized FFT coprocessor for faster analysis and still cut core power consumption levels to 6.8 uW in deep-sleep mode and 46 mW total power in active mode -- half the power of existing C5000(TM) devices. Applications such as multi-parameter medical, noise reduction headphones and portable audio/music recording will benefit from the performance and peripheral scheme of the C550x DSPs. The devices will be available in Q1 2009. For more information on the power specifications, see the product bulletin at http://www.ti.com/c550xpb.

Need for portability addressed with decades of low power experience

TI's new processor product lines are rooted in the company's 30-year-old commitment to addressing low-power design challenges, which has been demonstrated with innovations like the MSP430, the industry's lowest power MCU; the ADS7953, the lowest power, 16-channel precision analog-to-digital converter; the OPA369, the lowest power zero-crossover op amp; and a complete portfolio of power management solutions for any energy-efficient power design. Over the years, TI has taken a system level approach to power optimization and high performance, providing customers with industry leading signal chain, power management, processor and software solutions. This focus on low power extends far beyond the need for portability as TI recognizes the global necessity for energy conservation. By enabling products that are inherently lower power, TI is helping developers make it easy for consumers to use more environmentally friendly products.

Pricing and availability

C674x silicon and associated software and tools will begin sampling in Q4 2008 and other product lines will roll out throughout the next 12 months. Suggested retail pricing will vary by device but will start at less than $9 (100 units). Various processors within the C640x, OMAP-L1x and C674x product lines offer software and pin-for-pin compatibility, allowing engineers to start their development efforts today with existing devices and then lower power consumption and add features with new devices in the near future.

"NetSuite has long been the gold standard for the use of AJAX in business applications, pioneering rich, dynamic user interface capabilities in a browser application typically found only in desktop applications," said Mini Peiris, NetSuite Vice President of Product Marketing. "Today's new release of NetSuite CRM+ demonstrates our ongoing commitment to innovation and to addressing specific customer requirements."

New Features Increase User Productivity

Launched in May 2005, NetSuite CRM+ is NetSuite's most feature-rich CRM offering, encompassing CRM requirements at every phase of the customer lifecycle. Unlike other CRM offerings in the market which focus largely on prospect management, NetSuite CRM+ goes much further by giving growing businesses a 360-degree view of all customer interactions, as well as the ability to actually record sales transactions. NetSuite CRM+ includes order management, partner management, incentive management, and project tracking.

Today's new release adds to the rich heritage of NetSuite CRM+ and the use of innovative, AJAX-powered user interfaces for key functional areas with:

-- Step-wise Assistants for Marketing Automation - a new two-step assisted workflow for group creation allows marketers to easily segment and slice their target audience for focused campaign execution. Similarly, the workflow for the creation of simple marketing and email templates, as well as uploading rich HTML-based marketing templates has been greatly streamlined with productivity of the marketer as the primary focus.

-- Streamlined Knowledge Management for Customer Service - a new keyword search workflow is built directly into the user interface for case management to optimize the speed with which customer service and customer support reps can search for and find relevant content from the knowledge store to respond to a customer service inquiry. In addition, customer service reps can now add content for inclusion in the central knowledge store with one click from information already entered on the case for the response to the customer. This greatly increases the efficiency of case handling and helps to build the wealth of knowledge for re-use, so customer service reps are armed with the latest information and can offer better service and an enriched customer support experience.

NetSuite Supports Firefox 3

In addition to the enhanced workflow capabilities for NetSuite CRM+, NetSuite today also announced support for Firefox 3, the latest web browser version from the Mozilla Foundation. Firefox 3 has caused a resurgence of the browser wars, gaining some market share on Microsoft Internet Explorer and coming in second over Apple's Safari (source: MarketWatch - Firefox heats up new browser war against Microsoft). NetSuite supports all three web browsers - Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari - allowing customers complete freedom of choice when it comes to anytime, anywhere access to key business data.

Support for Firefox 3 also enables more users to run their business on NetSuite since Firefox supports multiple operating systems, including Windows, Apple's OS-X and Linux. Mozilla reported that there had been more than 8 million downloads of the new browser in its first 24 hours of availability. NetSuite is one of the first business applications to support the new Firefox browser version, showing NetSuite's commitment to servicing customers by staying on the cutting edge of technology, and striving to fulfil market demand as new technology becomes available.

Pricing and Availability

New CRM+ features are available now at no additional cost. NetSuite CRM+ is offered at 75 pound sterling per user per month. It is currently expected that Firefox support will be available in early August.

AT&T Navigator Goes GlobalAT&T Is First U.S. Wireless Carrier to Give Customers GPS-Based Navigation Capabilities Abroad With Initial Availability in 20 Countries

DALLAS, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T customers can now stay on the beaten path not only in the U.S. but when abroad, as well. AT&T Inc. today announced the availability of AT&T Navigator Global Edition, the only GPS-based service available from a U.S. wireless carrier to provide international navigation capabilities.

Beginning today, AT&T Navigator Global Edition can be used in 20 countries on AT&T-powered smartphones featuring built-in GPS capabilities. AT&T Navigator Global Edition's coverage area includes most countries in western Europe, North America and the U.S. Caribbean as well as the six cities in China that will host Beijing Summer Olympics events. The new international navigation service is available in conjunction with the domestic AT&T Navigator solution on the AT&T Tilt(TM), BlackBerry(R) 8800, BlackBerry 8820, BlackBerry Curve(TM) 8310, BlackBerry Pearl(TM) 8110, BlackJack(TM) II and MOTO Q(TM) 9h global smartphones.

"The introduction of AT&T Navigator Global Edition is just another example of how AT&T is the nation's leading provider of international wireless services," said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Mobility Marketing and Operations for AT&T's wireless operation. "AT&T not only gives customers the ability to use their mobile phones in more countries than any other U.S. carrier, they now can use our robust GPS-based navigation offering whether at home or abroad to easily get from point A to point B or to find and get directed to a local business or service."

AT&T Navigator Global Edition provides customers with many of the same features as AT&T's popular domestic GPS-based navigation service, AT&T Navigator. Customers can get spoken or text-based turn-by-turn directions -- in English, German, Italian or Spanish -- and are rerouted automatically if they miss a turn.

AT&T Navigator Global Edition also features a local "business finder" service, which allows customers to find the locations of businesses by category or by specific name with the click of a button using AT&T Navigator's GPS-based navigation capabilities. AT&T Navigator's business finder database contains more than 19 million businesses and services located in the U.S. and abroad, including ATMs, hotels, restaurants, gas stations and airports. This feature also allows users to quickly look up and call the phone number for a business, saving time and money.

IBM was among the companies that participated in a customer trial program for AT&T Navigator Global Edition before its launch.

Maria Azua, IBM's vice president of Technology and Innovation, said: "AT&T Navigator Global Edition saves me an enormous amount of time. When traveling in unfamiliar territory, AT&T Navigator has guided me very efficiently to the right location in the shortest possible time. The 'live updates' feature gets me rerouted via an alternative path to avoid traffic jams. Since it is integrated with my smartphone, I always have it with me; it's an important business companion for the road warrior."

AT&T Navigator Global Edition will be particularly useful to customers traveling to China in August for the Summer Olympics. AT&T customers will be able to use AT&T Navigator Global Edition in the six cities hosting Olympics events -- Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao, Shenyang, Tianjin and Qinhuangdao. AT&T also is providing AT&T Navigator Global Edition service to select athletes and their families and to the eight grand-prize winners in AT&T's "How Are You Connected" to Team USA sweepstakes.

AT&T is an official sponsor of the U.S. Olympic Team and provides significant financial support as well as products and services to the U.S. Olympic Committee. AT&T is also the official telecommunications services partner of the U.S. Olympic Team in Beijing, and the company is an official partner of several national governing bodies, including USA Track & Field, USA Gymnastics, USA Swimming and USA Diving.

AT&T is the leading provider of international wireless services. AT&T has the largest international wireless footprint of any U.S. carrier, providing customers with the ability to make or take wireless calls in more than 200 countries and access e-mail, the Web and other data applications in more than 145 countries, with access to mobile broadband 3G networks in more than 60 countries.
