BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Marriott International and AT&T Inc. today are announcing a lodging-industry leading agreement that will transform multiple communications networks at hotels into one converged network for voice and data transmission based on Internet technologies.

Marriott's first prototype hotel with a converged network is the recently opened Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel.

Together Marriott and AT&T have implemented an open-standards solution that is based on design principles established by Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG), a technology solutions association for the hospitality industry, and encourage hotel competitors to follow Marriott's lead.

The innovative technology solution includes AT&T Managed Internet and Managed Router services, as well as services for WiFi connectivity, deployment and management that consolidates multiple network applications being delivered into a hotel property into a single managed LAN service-provider model.

"This agreement with AT&T further solidifies Marriott's technology leadership position within the lodging industry to provide a superior experience for its guests well into the future," said Page Petry, Senior Vice President, Information Resources Global Field Services, North American Lodging. "As demand for bandwidth increases and new communications and entertainment technologies emerge, Marriott will be uniquely positioned to meet the demands of its customers thanks to its alliance with AT&T."

"AT&T is proud to bring forward such innovative technology with our long term customer Marriott International," said Trip Agerton, AT&T Vice President for Global Business Services. "This cutting edge solution demonstrates how AT&T enables both enriched customer experience as well as adding greater velocity to our customer's business."

Benefits to Guests

Marriott expects guest satisfaction, loyalty and repeat business will increase at installed hotels. Wired and wireless high-speed Internet access will become more reliable throughout the hotel and a managed network means bandwidth can be automatically adjusted to meet peak demand. The converged network also will enable hotels to incorporate advanced interactive communications services, such as video-on-demand and Internet TV, and telephone services, such as voice over Internet telephony more easily, quickly and more cost effectively.

Hotel staff will have greater access to hotel and guest information right at their fingertips. Using devices such as IP phones or paging systems, they will be able to communicate with each other wirelessly. This will enable hotel staff to assist with a wider range of guest requests no matter where they are within the hotel.

Benefits to Hotel Owners

Hotel owners will see a return on their investment in a converged network. In addition to the benefits higher guest satisfaction brings, hotels will achieve operational and cost efficiencies in connection with maintenance of the network and installation of emerging communications technologies. Marriott expects to announce more hotels that will be built with converged networks in the near future. The company is also working on a developing a cost-effective solution for retrofitting existing hotels with a converged network as they are renovated.

More Cable TV Choice for Consumers in 4 More Massachusetts TownsThousands More Households Now Can Order Verizon's FiOS TV, the Only TV Service Delivered Over Nation's Most Advanced Fiber-Optic Network Straight to Consumers

NORTHBOROUGH, STOUGHTON, STOW and SUTTON, Mass., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning today, consumers in four more Massachusetts communities -- Northborough, Stoughton, Stow and Sutton -- have more choice in cable TV providers now that Verizon has introduced FiOS TV, making a broad range of programming choices and superior picture quality available to thousands more Massachusetts households.

These four towns are among 78 Massachusetts communities [see list below] where the company's new television service is or soon will be offered -- the only TV service delivered over the nation's most advanced all-fiber network directly connecting to millions of individual homes and businesses.

Verizon is currently negotiating with several other communities in Massachusetts to obtain additional franchises. For more information on the Verizon franchise process in the state, visit http://www.verizon.com/ma.

Donna Cupelo, Verizon region president for Massachusetts and Rhode Island, said, "FiOS TV gives consumers in Northborough, Stoughton, Stow and Sutton an outstanding, superior alternative for their video entertainment. Customers in these towns who liked what FiOS did for their Internet connection will love what it does for their TV. We've harnessed the vast capacity of our advanced fiber-optic network to deliver a revolutionary, new entertainment experience."

Massachusetts residents who are FiOS TV-eligible now have the option to trim their monthly bills by bundling FiOS TV service, FiOS Internet service and the Verizon Freedom Value unlimited calling plan, all for $104.99 a month.

Service highlights include:

-- More than 400 all-digital channels grouped by genres such as entertainment, sports, news, shopping, movies and family, making it easy for audiences to find their favorite programming.

-- A total of 31 high-definition (HD) channels for Massachusetts customers, with extraordinary clarity and theater-quality sound. The company plans to offer all available major HD programming by year-end.

-- An industry-leading library of more than 10,000 video-on-demand (VOD) titles each month, 70 percent of which are free. The VOD library also includes an increasing number of HD titles, and will offer 1,000 HD VOD titles per month by the end of the year.

-- An easy-to-use interactive media guide that integrates HD programming, VOD content and the optional digital video recorder along with broadcast television into a seamless user experience.

-- Set-top boxes ranging from a standard-definition box for $5.99 per month to the Home Media DVR, featuring a multi-room DVR that enables up to three simultaneous viewings of recorded programs without requiring customers to set up a complex home network or buy extra equipment. The recorder is bundled with Media Manager, which lets customers easily access photos and music from their personal computer and play them on their entertainment center where they look and sound the best. A standard-definition Home Media DVR is $17.99 per month.

-- FiOS TV Widgets, a free interactive feature that provides local weather and traffic information.

Programming choices for Hispanic, African-American, Asian, Russian and other multicultural audiences are available in every market, making FiOS TV an outlet for emerging and independent networks to showcase their diverse programming.

Verizon's fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network, the largest of its kind in the country, is currently under construction in more than half the states where the company offers landline communications services, including almost 100 Massachusetts communities.

The network brings the power and capacity of fiber optics directly into people's homes and has industry-leading quality and reliability. Fiber delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen. It also delivers Internet download speeds of up to 50 Mbps (megabits per second) and upload speeds of up to 20 Mbps as well as high-quality voice services.

(More information about FiOS TV and fiber optics is available in Verizon's online News Center at http://www.verizon.com/news.)

The value of FiOS TV extends to the installation and customer support. Specially trained Verizon technicians will install the service and acquaint subscribers with FiOS TV features and services. Verizon is waiving the installation fee for up to three existing TV outlets, and there is no charge to install a needed optical network terminal at the subscriber's home. Charges for other installation services, such as additional outlets, may apply. Verizon provides 24 x 7 technical assistance by phone from its Fiber Solutions Centers in Providence, R.I., and other cities.

Verizon's Innovation Hit Parade Provides Customers With Breakthrough Broadband and Entertainment Products and ServicesCompetitors Can't Match Verizon's Offerings

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon's telecommunications group has made a series of service and technology enhancements that are giving customers breakthrough broadband and entertainment products and services competitors can't match.

"We're working hard to impress customers with new products that fit the modern lifestyle and look ahead to the kinds of TV and Internet services customers will absolutely need in the near future and beyond."

Over the last few months, Verizon has launched breakthroughs including: Internet

-- Boosted Verizon's High Speed Internet service speed to 7 Mbps in markets where FiOS is not offered, giving roughly 3.5 million Verizon DSL customers in parts of 20 states download speeds that are more than double the previous top speed.

Entertainment

-- Began launch of more than 20 new channels on the FiOS TV lineup, many in high definition (HD), and entered the New York City market with 100 HD channels.

-- Launched FiOS TV Central, a Web page for monitoring things to see on FiOS TV and to soon remotely manage programming the home digital video recorder.

-- Added standard-definition and high-definition titles to Verizon's video-on-demand (VOD) library, now with 10,000 titles per month, 70 percent of which are free; expanded the availability of HD VOD to all FiOS TV customers, with plans for 1,000 HD VOD titles per month by year-end.

-- Began sending all programming as digital signals, including some programming that had been delivered as analog signals due to previous industry standards; continue to help Verizon customers make all TVs in the home capable of the clearest in video pictures on all channels.

-- For the second year in a row, took top honors in PC Magazine's Internet service provider poll, with FiOS Internet service cited as tops in all categories.

Networking

-- Kept Verizon's fiber-to-the-home commitment ahead of plan, enabling 11 million homes to get FiOS Internet and 9.6 million to get FiOS TV, with 1.4 million FiOS TV and 2 million FiOS Internet customers already enjoying the benefits of fiber-optic services.

-- Extended FiOS fiber service to some markets just outside Verizon's traditional service area, to provide FiOS to additional customers.

-- Announced that starting in the third quarter, the company will install in the homes of new FiOS customers broadband routers that are capable of 100 Mbps speeds inside the home and allow operation of as many as four Wi-Fi channels to assign for personal, guest, child or business private LAN use, along with other breakthrough features.

Innovative Bundles

-- Created a new landline-wireless package called the Verizon Flex Double Play bundle for customers who want to rely on their Verizon Wireless phone for all their voice communications but also want FiOS Internet or Verizon High Speed Internet service for their home broadband needs and FiOS TV for their video service.

"Many of these are services that our cable competitors simply cannot provide, either because their coaxial cables cannot handle the traffic or because they don't have the product depth -- including wireless -- to make the deals customers want," Ruesterholz said.

The launch of FiOS TV service in New York City last month put the entire FiOS service line into the hottest, biggest market in the country, in competition with a series of established cable companies. Verizon will employ advanced bendable fiber to reach the customers in multiple dwelling units. The FiOS TV service launched in the city offers 100 HD channels, almost double the amount offered by each of Verizon's competitors. FiOS Internet service had already been available in the city.

Verizon Communications Inc. , headquartered in New York, is a leader in delivering broadband and other wireline and wireless communication innovations to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers. Verizon Wireless operates America's most reliable wireless network, serving nearly 69 million customers nationwide.

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Awards Lockheed Martin $32 Million Learning Management ContractContract Provides Geospatial Training Across NGA and the Intelligence Community

HERNDON, Va., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has awarded Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] a $32 million option on a contract to provide specialized geospatial training to analysts and officials across the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community. This award exercises the second of four option years on the Learning Management Services (LMS) contract, which provides both educational programs and administrative support for the NGA College.

"LMS provides key training in geospatial analysis, technology and techniques that are central to the mission of the NGA and its partners," said Jim Kohlhaas, Lockheed Martin Vice President, Spatial Solutions. "It helps keep NGA officials at the top of their game, delivering professional development and career-long learning. And it allows defense and intelligence representatives to learn more about the latest geospatial-intelligence capabilities, helping them to better employ geospatial tools in their everyday jobs."

Under the contract, Lockheed Martin provides professional instructors to run classes, develops curricula for a variety of course offerings, and manages the administrative aspects of the College, including registration, enrollment and general support. Course topics include geospatial tradecraft, specialized technology applications, program and acquisition management, and general leadership and communication training.

The NGA College is based in the Washington, DC area, and in St. Louis, MO. Lockheed Martin was awarded the original LMS contract in June of 2006. That contract has a total potential value of $176 million over five years.

Lockheed Martin currently supports the NGA with a wide variety of systems and services, from front-line imagery collection and analysis applications to enterprise solutions for secure IT management and service-oriented architecture.

Headquartered in Bethesda, MD, Lockheed Martin employs more than 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services.

Astellia: Résultats du 1er semestre 2008

RENNES, France, August 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Astellia, spécialiste des solutions d'optimisation pour la gestion de la Qualité de Service (QoS) et la performance des réseaux de téléphonie mobile, annonce aujourd'hui ses résultats pour le 1er semestre 2008.

Compte de résultats résumé consolidé, en KEUR 30/06/2008 % CA 30/06/2007 % CA Variation YoY Chiffre d'affaires 10 271 9 461 +9% dont France métropolitaine 3 907 38% 3 792 40% +3% dont Export et DomTom 6 364 62% 5 669 60% +12% Achat, approvisionnement et charges externes 4 600 44% 3 368 36% Salaires et charges sociales 5 377 52% 3 954 42% Impôts et taxes 269 3% 244 3% Dotations et autres charges 613 6% 470 5% Résultat d'exploitation 282 3% 1 640 17% -83% Résultat financier 101 1% 97 1% +4% Résultat courant avant impôt 384 4% 1 737 18% -78% Résultat net 868 8% 1 000 11% -13%

1er semestre 2008 : Une bonne dynamique commerciale

A l'issue du 1er semestre 2008 Astellia a généré un chiffre d'affaires de 10,3 MEUR en hausse de 9% par rapport au 1er semestre 2007. Dans un contexte de concurrence internationale accrue par la faiblesse du dollar la rentabilité subit un resserrement ponctuel.

Après avoir fortement équipé les opérateurs français au cours du 2ème semestre 2007, la part du chiffre d'affaires réalisé en France au 1er semestre est de 38% (3,9 MEUR, +3% yoy) et correspond aux attentes d'Astellia sur la période. Ce ralentissement n'est pas représentatif de la bonne continuité des relations entre Astellia et ses grands clients historique.

A l'international (62% du CA) Astellia a continué de renforcer ses positions ; le chiffre d'affaires du semestre atteint 6,4 MEUR (+12% yoy). Astellia a notamment conforté ses positions en Afrique tout en progressant en Asie. Parallèlement les investissements engagés sur de nouveaux territoires commencent à porter leurs fruits.

Le résultat d'exploitation du 1er semestre 2008 s'élève à 0,3 MEUR. Le recul de la marge d'exploitation sur le semestre s'explique ainsi :

- La pression concurrentielle accrue par la faiblesse du dollar face à l'euro donne aux clients de nouveaux arguments de négociation qui impactent les niveaux de marges brutes d'Astellia.

- L'évolution du mix produit avec l'augmentation de la part des services dont les niveaux de marges sont naturellement inférieurs. La répartition des ventes du 1er semestre 2008 est : équipements 42% (vs. 46% au S1 2007), logiciels 24% (vs. 25%), maintenance, services et formation 34% (26%).

- L'arrêt, depuis le 1er janvier 2008, des abattements liés au statut Jeune Entreprise Innovante se traduit par une augmentation de charge de l'ordre de 320 KEUR.

- La société a par ailleurs continué à mettre en oeuvre les moyens nécessaires à son expansion à long terme, (effectifs +24% yoy, implantations commerciales en cours au Brésil et en Afrique du sud, extension des locaux à Rennes).

Le résultat net du 1er semestre 2008 s'élève à 0,9 MEUR ; il incorpore un crédit d'impôt recherche de 582 KEUR.

2008 : Poursuite des prises de parts de marché et du renforcement de l'offre

- En France, tandis que les clients historiques d'Astellia ont généré un volume d'équipement exceptionnellement élevé en 2007, le 1er semestre 2008 enregistre un décalage de commande inhérent aux négociations commerciales qui devrait être rattrapé au cours du second semestre.

- A l'international, Astellia a remporté au cours du 1er semestre des contrats significatifs : en Afrique (Nigéria, Sénégal, Mali) et en Asie (Sri Lanka, Laos). Par ailleurs, en Amérique du Sud et au Moyen Orient des nouveaux clients ont entamé une collaboration avec Astellia. Ces clients poursuivront leur montée en puissance dans les mois à venir.

Pour Christian Queffelec, président et co-fondateur d'Astellia : << Nous avons observé sur ce semestre des décalages de commandes mais nous sommes confiants dans notre capacité à rattraper ce retard sur la seconde moitié de l'année et améliorer notre rentabilité en conséquence. Toutefois, dans un contexte économique incertain il est difficile de s'engager précisément sur notre performance annuelle. Je n'ai pas d'inquiétude et j'affiche un optimisme mesuré. >>

'Stay-Ducation': Verizon Wireless On-Site College Program Helps Employee-Students Skip the Drive to SchoolOn-Site Colleges Offer Employees Convenience, Tuition-Assistance Growth Opportunities

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless customer service representatives who want to further their education don't have to fill up gas tanks to get to class across town. They just walk down the hall or across their corporate campus at the end of their work day to attend college classes at one of nine on-site universities.

Customer service representatives and all other Verizon Wireless employees who work near call center locations are eligible to participate in the company's tuition-assisted, on-site college degree programs where they can earn associate, bachelor or master's degrees. All classes are taught by professors or faculty hired by a local participating, accredited university.

Since Verizon Wireless first introduced its tuition assistance program in January 2001 and on-site education programs in September 2005, more than 900 customer service representatives have received their degrees. Many who completed degree programs have been promoted or made lateral moves to other departments to advance their careers within Verizon Wireless, opening up new career opportunities.

"If my experience with tuition assistance and on-site classes could be described with one word, it would be 'blessing'," said Julio Donado, customer service tech support representative at Verizon Wireless' Elgin, Ill., Call Center and a recent MBA graduate. "The affordability and convenience simply cannot be matched. How great is it to finish work at 5:30 p.m. and then simply go downstairs and start class at 6:00 p.m.? It is time-saving, fuel-efficient, and in general helped me succeed with my education. I was ready to pay -- or go in to debt for -- $24,000 a year for 2 years, but thanks to Verizon Wireless I don't have any education-related debt."

"Our on-site 'stay-ducation' programs are yet another demonstration of Verizon Wireless' commitment to our talented, goal-oriented, performance-driven employees," said Lou Tedrick, vice president of workforce development for Verizon Wireless. "We're a great place to work for a lot of reasons and our growing on-site campus program coupled with our generous tuition assistance is one of them."

"These programs are not only good for employees, they are also good for the business," said Ms. Tedrick. Retention rates among employees who participated in Verizon Wireless' tuition assistance program were more than double those of the overall workforce, an important factor in reducing the cost of hiring replacements when experienced employees leave.

Verizon Wireless currently offers on-site programs at nine call centers in Rancho Cordova, Calif.; Tampa, Fla.; Ashford Dunwoody and Alpharetta, Ga.; Elgin, Ill.; Dublin, Ohio; Cranberry Woods, Pa.; Murfreesboro, Tenn.; and Salt Lake City, Utah -- as well as at five other company offices in New York and New Jersey. Verizon Wireless plans to introduce four more on-site programs at call centers in Chandler, Ariz.; Albuquerque, N.M.; Greenville, S.C.; and Bellevue, Wash. this year, and at 14 additional call center locations around the country by 2010.

Universities partnering with Verizon Wireless include American River Community College, Benedictine University, Bethel College, Centenary College, Devry University, Elgin Community College, Fairleigh Dickinson University, National Louis University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Pima Community College -- ITCAP, Raritan Valley Community College, Salt Lake Community College, Stevens Institute of Technology, and Strayer University. For a complete list of current and new programs starting this September, see list below.

Verizon Wireless provides employees with the training, resources and educational development opportunities they need to provide customers the nation's best wireless network, customer service and sales experience and invests in programs that help employees grow professionally. Verizon Wireless offers tuition assistance, in which employees receive the company's contribution right upfront, requiring no initial cash outlay from the student. Many companies offer tuition reimbursement, which requires an initial employee cash outlay. In addition, Verizon Wireless' tuition support of up to $8,000.00 per year is above the industry average. Most companies cap annual tuition reimbursement at $5,250.00 or less for tax purposes.

Verizon Wireless has an impressive 18 percent participation rate in its tuition assistance program. Nearly half of the participants are call center employees, although the benefit is available to all full-time and part-time employees in all departments throughout the company beginning from their first day on the job.

Consistently ranked as one of the best places to work in the United States, Verizon Wireless has been named one of Working Mother magazine's "100 Best Companies for Working Mothers" for seven years in a row and has been named by Health Magazine as one of 10 U.S. employers to best help women balance their professional and personal responsibilities. For the past seven years, Verizon Wireless has been named one of the nation's top 125 companies by Training magazine for its continued commitment to employee development and for connecting its training programs to business objectives.

Diversity-Owned Small Businesses Gain Competitive Edge From Inclusion in Corporate Supply ChainAT&T Celebrates 40 Years of Working With Minority-, Women- and Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses

DALLAS, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- When Telamon Corporation, a certified Asian-American-owned business with headquarters in Carmel, Ind., was selected to participate in a business development course for diversity firms, Albert Chen did not envision the session leading to a prosperous relationship between his firm and a major telecommunications company.

This year, AT&T Inc. announced that AT&T companies are celebrating 40 years of including minority-, women- and disabled veteran-owned businesses in the supply chain. AT&T was one of the first companies to initiate a formal corporatewide supplier diversity program with the establishment of its Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Program in 1968.

Telamon was founded in 1984 and began doing business with AT&T in 1992, when AT&T selected the firm to participate in a Total Applied Quality Management course, which was designed to provide direction on how to grow business relationships and move organizations forward. Telamon was one of 40 diversity-owned companies that participated in the training.

Later, Telamon was the first minority supplier to be awarded a prime contract under AT&T's breakthrough initiative to open up the core telecom network to full diversity supplier involvement. Since participating in this program, Telamon has supported numerous AT&T initiatives, including U- verse(SM) services, and has expanded its client roster to include other major corporations.

"Our long-term relationship with AT&T has played a large role in our company's growth and success," said Chen, president and CEO of Telamon Corporation. "AT&T's supplier diversity programs have empowered us to be a role model to other diversity-owned businesses and have given us the knowledge and skills to remain competitive as the telecommunications industry evolves."

In addition to the MBE Program, AT&T's Women Business Enterprise (WBE) Program -- launched in 1980 -- and its Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Program (1993) have enabled AT&T to provide the best products and services to its customers by expanding contracting opportunities for diverse businesses across its enterprise. AT&T has mentored several diversity suppliers to provide goods and services in areas of the company's business that historically had low diversity participation. In doing so, AT&T has helped provide opportunities for diverse businesses in other industries, such as advertising and global contract manufacturing.

"There are mutual benefits for AT&T and the diversity-owned companies that we do business with," said Tim Harden, AT&T president of Supply Chain and Fleet Operations. "These suppliers help us customize our global network to deliver a seamless world of communications for the needs of our diverse customer base. We help them grow their capabilities and businesses through the offerings of our Supplier Diversity Programs. Providing opportunities for minority-, women- and disabled-veteran-owned businesses just makes good business sense."

Another aspect of AT&T's Supplier Diversity Programs that many diverse suppliers have benefited from is educational scholarships and programming. Since 2000, the AT&T Foundation has granted more than $935,000 to diversity- owned business owners to receive expert coaching from leading business schools, including the Anderson School of Management at UCLA, the J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University, the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, the FastTrac Program at Georgia State University and the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Vetco Supply in Denton, Texas, an outside plant distributor that is owned by a service-disabled veteran, has been doing business with AT&T since 1999. Troy Murphy, president and CEO of the company, used an AT&T Supplier Diversity Programs scholarship to attend the Management Development for Entrepreneurs (MDE) Program at UCLA, which he graduated from in 2006.

"I heard very positive remarks about the MDE Program before attending," said Murphy. "The program was even better than I had hoped. We were able to apply lessons learned on our first day back in the office."

AT&T has produced numerous training workshops to ensure that diversity suppliers are positioned to win in the highly competitive global marketplace. Technology training, e-commerce seminars, "going global" workshops and quality certification training have all been offered to diversity suppliers by AT&T at no charge.

Most large corporations have rigorous performance expectations for their suppliers, which may include a requirement to be certified to global quality standards and metrics. One of AT&T's current workshops for diversity suppliers is an introductory seminar on the value of quality certification. Such certifications, like TL9000 and ISO 9000, not only improve operational efficiency but clearly communicate that a diverse supplier understands critical customer guidelines and has documented processes to meet those requirements. Because obtaining quality certification can be expensive for small, diverse firms, AT&T is working with BIZPHYX, a woman-owned quality consulting and training firm, to develop an online group approach to quality certification that lowers the cost of certification by 70 percent.

AT&T's supplier diversity leadership has helped initiate several best practices for supply chain inclusion. In 1989, the company was one of the first to implement a formalized program that requires its top suppliers to include diversity firms as business solution partners or second-tier suppliers in their business with AT&T. This initiative has been effective in broadening the spectrum of opportunities for diverse suppliers. AT&T is also a member of the Billion Dollar Roundtable, a supplier diversity think tank composed of corporations that spend more than $1 billion annually with diverse companies. Only 13 companies qualify at this level.

In the past four decades, AT&T has spent more than $43 billion with minority, women and disabled veteran businesses. In 2007, AT&T spent more than $5 billion with these diversity businesses, representing more than 12 percent of the company's procurement base.

"By making a commitment to diversity-owned businesses, we have brought a vast array of skills and knowledge into the AT&T family," said Joan Kerr, executive director of AT&T's Supplier Diversity Programs. "Together we form a stronger supply chain community, capable of facing new challenges and shaping the future of communications."

In the past year, AT&T has been recognized by LATINA Style magazine, Black Enterprise magazine and Veterans Business Journal for the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion. Other recognitions include:

* Being included among DiversityInc's 2008 Top 50 Companies for Diversity and among the Top 10 Companies for Supplier Diversity. * Ranking No. 1 among DiversityBusiness.com's 2007 Top Organizations for Multicultural Business Opportunities, based on the quality of business opportunities that AT&T consistently grants to minority- and women-owned companies. * Being named as one of America's Top Corporations for Women Business Enterprises by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council. AT&T has been included on this list for all nine years that the list has been published. About AT&T

AT&T and OASIS Host 'Cell Phones for Seniors' Event in Rochester - August 8thAT&T Volunteers Tutor Senior Citizens on How to Text Grandkids and More at a Series of Free Educational Seminars

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. and OASIS announced today the launch of a new public service initiative designed to benefit Rochester's mature adult population. This Friday, AT&T volunteers will hold one-on-one tutoring sessions with nearly 100 OASIS members from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. at Monroe Community Hospital, in Rochester.

"Our membership has responded very enthusiastically to this program, telling us there is a clear need for cell phone education," said Priscilla Minster, director of the Rochester OASIS chapter. "For safety reasons, it is critical that our members are able to operate their mobile phones. AT&T's free seminar is a unique opportunity for seniors to receive one-on-one help -- and ultimately walk away feeling more comfortable with the technology."

"Cell Phones for Seniors is a great program which will help a number of seniors in the community understand how to properly operate a cell phone," said Senator Jim Alesi (R-Perinton). "OASIS has a solid reputation for assisting seniors within our community through a number of volunteer efforts and I will continue to support their work."

Participants are encouraged to bring their mobile phones, regardless of which wireless carrier they currently use. AT&T will also have free "practice" phones on-site. The session will cover everything from mobile phone basics, such as controlling the volume on your phone, to checking voice mail to storing a number in the phone's address book. Seniors can also learn about AT&T's Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC) options as well as how to send text messages and share pictures on their phones. AT&T volunteers will provide hands-on demonstrations and one-on-one instructional support.

While the Rochester event with OASIS is currently full, AT&T has plans to expand the Cell Phones for Seniors program to other areas of New York in the coming months.

'The Secret World Of Sam King'Premiere Date Announced and Opening Acts Confirmed

NEW YORK and LONDON, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Bebo today announced the first line up of artists set to feature in its new production, The Secret World Of Sam King, which premieres on Wednesday 6th August.

The online drama, a first between a social network and music company, revolves around junior 'facilities' employee, Sam King, who from his base at Universal Music secretly founds his own start-up label in the post room.

Drawing on real-life record company experiences and filmed at Universal Music UK's offices in West London, confirmed acts appearing in the first few weeks include the Sugababes, The Automatic, Sam Sparro, and The Saturdays, with the US stars, the Jonas Brothers, marking the premiere with a cameo role. Some of the initial storylines also see Sam visit Ibiza Rocks as part of an integration with show sponsor, Sony Ericsson as well as the V Festival to tie in with fellow sponsor Virgin Mobile.

Produced by Universal Music UK's production arm Globe Productions in partnership with Monkey Kingdom; The Secret World Of Sam King will upload 3-5 minute episodes daily on Bebo, a format made successful by stable mates on the social network KateModern and Sofia's Diary. For a sneak preview, go to http://www.bebo.com/samking

Iain Funnell, General Manager, Globe Productions commented: "Users will experience a truly interactive world. The drama will be the centrepiece and will be set within the walls of a major music company with characters drawn from real life company staff plus guest appearances and walk-ons drawn from the music industry's biggest roster of artists. It will make The Secret World of Sam King a truly unique entertainment experience."

Joanna Shields, President AOL People Networks and CEO Bebo went on to add: "The Secret World of Sam King was developed for the 'Bebo Generation'. Working closely with our partners at Universal Music and Globe Productions, we are creating new opportunities for musicians and artists to interact and connect with the youth audience within the context of a great drama. Following on from the success of KateModern, The Gap Year and Sofia's Diary, Bebo continues to pioneer an entirely new entertainment category."

The main cast of five include Katie Love (Sam's love interest), Johny Pitts (Sam's best friend, trying to break into radio and has designs on Lizzie), Greg Parker (a young, ambitious A&R scout who also is Sam's nemesis), Lizzie (PA to the CEO at Universal who has a crush on Sam) and of course Sam King. Further, characters Katie and Johny will feature in spin-off programming formats "Katie's Love-in" and a radio podcast respectively, providing a rounded digital music experience.

Bebo is the world's only global Social Media Network. This radical new vision for online media combines community, self-expression and entertainment to enable its users to consume, create, discover and share content through the Bebo website. Unlike its competitors, Bebo offers access to a line-up of high quality programmes and entertainment from professional broadcasters, independent producers and other rights owners and gives users a simple set of tools to create their online media collection and communicate their tastes to everyone in their network. Recent hit shows include the BAFTA nominated KateModern, Sofia's Diary and GAP Year (co-produced by Endemol, who also produce Big Brother). Founded in 2005 as an online community, Bebo has a membership of more than 45 million individuals worldwide and is geared towards an audience aged under 30, with the core of 16-24 year olds spending 2.14 billion minutes on the site per month.

NOTES TO EDITORS:

About The Secret World of Sam King: Tells the story of Sam King, a junior employee at Universal Records who starts his own record label in the mail room without the knowledge of his colleagues. Hungry for success, King hopes for the day when he can take over from his rather obnoxious A&R boss Greg. King makes no secret of the fact that he thinks he can do a much better job than Greg, especially since he feels his boss only got the job because his father was a recording artist. Sam's days are spent running around on errands for Greg, bumping into his favourite artists and doing whatever he can to get his own label off the ground.

Katie's Love-in is a music TV show presented by Sam's love interest Katie. It will air on a separate Bebo channel. Johny's radio podcast is a weekly radio show that he DJs. It will also be available on a dedicated Bebo channel.

As part of the drama, King invites the audience to get involved with him in both his personal and professional life. Viewers are encouraged to send in material, suggest bands he should go and scout, profile emerging talent and generally help him in all elements involved in creating his own label.

About Bebo: Bebo is the world's leading global social media network. Building on the notion of traditional social networking websites, Bebo combines community, self-expression and entertainment to enable its users to consume, create, discover and share professional and user-generated content through the Bebo website.

National Instruments Introduces NI Single-Board RIO Platform for Embedded System DeploymentDevices Feature Real-Time Processor, FPGA and Analog and Digital I/O on a Single Board - All Programmable with NI LabVIEW

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 6, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NIWeek -- National Instruments today announced new NI Single-Board RIO devices that offer engineers and scientists a low-cost, integrated hardware option for deploying embedded control and data acquisition applications. The eight new sbRIO-96xx devices combine an embedded real-time processor, reconfigurable field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and analog and digital I/O on a single printed circuit board (PCB), making them ideal for applications that require flexibility, high performance and reliability in a small form factor. Engineers and scientists can use the NI LabVIEW graphical system design platform to customize NI Single-Board RIO hardware as well as develop all aspects of their embedded systems for increased productivity and shorter time to market.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080806/LAW504)

"NI Single-Board RIO delivered all the components we needed for a reliable, high performance embedded system on a single device, which streamlined development and drastically reduced costs," said Jeremy Snow, president at Ventura Aerospace, which has deployed the devices in a fire suppression system for FedEx Express. "We were able to start with LabVIEW and CompactRIO for prototyping and quickly migrate our code to the new NI Single-Board RIO for deployment -- all in less than a year."

NI Single-Board RIO devices expand the NI FPGA-based deployment platform offering which includes PXI, PC and the NI CompactRIO embedded control and data acquisition system that share the NI reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architecture. The NI RIO architecture is composed of a real-time processor, FPGA and I/O modules. Using this standard architecture and LabVIEW, engineers and scientists can rapidly design and prototype advanced control and embedded devices on hardware such as CompactRIO and deploy their systems to the lower-cost CompactRIO integrated systems or the new NI Single-Board RIO devices to reduce deployment costs. Because engineers and scientists can program all NI RIO technology platforms with LabVIEW, no recoding is needed when transitioning from prototype to deployment, which increases system reliability and shortens development time.

NI Single-Board RIO devices feature an industrial 266 MHz or 400 MHz Freescale MPC5200 processor built on Power Architecture technology, the Wind River VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS) and Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA. The onboard analog and digital I/O connects directly to the FPGA to provide low-level customization of timing and I/O signal processing. Engineers and scientists also can expand the I/O capabilities using the devices' three expansion slots for connecting any NI C-Series I/O module or custom modules that they develop. There are more than 40 C Series modules for I/O and communication such as acceleration, temperature, power quality, controller-area network (CAN) and motion.

Additionally, the devices offer an operating temperature of -20 to 55 degrees C for use in thermally rugged applications as well as an integrated 19 to 30 VDC power supply input and real-time clock with battery backup for increased reliability. All the NI Single-Board RIO products are Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) compliant, demonstrating the NI commitment to eliminating certain hazardous substances from products to benefit the environment.

Readers can visit http://www.ni.com/singleboard to watch a demonstration video, read white papers and case studies and reserve an evaluation kit for the new NI Single-Board RIO devices. For OEM pricing information, readers can call (800) 531-5066 to speak to a customer service representative or visit http://www.ni.com/visit to request a free on-site consultation from an NI field engineer.

Innovative Online and In-center Experience Takes Shoppers Back in Time for Back-To-SchoolTaubman Centers "Yearbook Yourself" Campaign Launches During Back-To-School Retail Period

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- To drive more teens and their parents into its malls for back-to-school shopping, Taubman Centers is taking them back in time. The national mall owner and operator partnered with Minneapolis-based ad agency Colle+McVoy to create an innovative online and in-center experience that allows teens to see what they might have looked like when their parents were in school, all while catching up on current back-to-school fashions.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080428/CLM116LOGO )

The campaign features a new website, http://www.yearbookyourself.com/ , which launched this week and allows visitors to upload their photos and morph their faces onto yearbook photos spanning five decades. They can easily move from the 1950s through the 1990s and see themselves with the hair and fashion styles of the times while listening to music inspired by that era. Simultaneously, they can learn about the fashion styles and trends of the eras and which stores, found at Taubman centers, carry today's hottest back-to-school fashion and styles.

"We wanted to offer teens and their parents a fun and unique online experience that allows them to interact with our brand and talk about our stores," said David Goldberg, Taubman, vice president, marketing and sponsorship. "The back-to-school shopping season is one of the most important times of the year for our retailers, so it was our goal to show how they are forward-thinking when it comes to current trends and fashions."

The site also features "homeroom" pages that allow visitors to save their favorite yearbook photo to a page and then invite friends to post their photos as well. Once invited, friends post their photos, a virtual yearbook page is created. Shared links allow friends to view each others' homeroom pages. They can also save, print, email or post their yearbook photo creation to a webpage or social network site.

"Teens can have a lot of fun with the site and technology, as well as connect in ways that are intuitive to them," said Mike Fetrow, executive creative director, Colle+McVoy. "But it was essential for the site to also highlight current back-to-school trends and Taubman retailers to encourage teens and their parents to visit a store they might not otherwise visit while shopping for school."

The site will support 20 Taubman centers nationwide through September by linking to center-specific retailers and their corresponding mall profile pages. Nine of the Taubman centers will also feature "Yearbook Yourself In-center Experiences." These walk-thru, gallery-like exhibits display vintage products through the ages. The experience ends with a 8' x 7' 3D yearbook highlighting teen photos from the 1950s up through today, juxtaposed with images of vintage products and the current products and fashions found at Taubman retailers. A DVD loop will also show highlights from the online experience.

Sunrise Telecom's(R) SunLite GigE(TM), the World's First Palm-size GigE Test Set, Speeds Ethernet Business ServicesThe SunLite GigE gives service providers a competitive advantage by speeding reliable Ethernet service deployment, IP connectivity testing, and problem resolution.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunrise Telecom(R) Incorporated (Pink Sheets: SRTI.PK), a leader in test and measurement solutions for telecom, cable and wireless networks, today announced the SunLite GigE, the world's first palm-size GigE tester. This unique tool helps telecom and broadband service providers meet the stringent demands of using Ethernet to deliver robust and differentiated services to their business and municipal customers. The light-weight SunLite GigE is the only test set technicians require for fast Ethernet network and service installation, verification, maintenance and troubleshooting.

"Until now, the combination of high performance and high functionality were only found in bulky hard to use Ethernet testers. The SunLite GigE has transformed the landscape and is capturing the imagination of our customers through its unique combination of high performance, rich functionality and simplicity of use in the world's only palm size tester," said Bahaa Moukadam, Sunrise Telecom's Vice President of Marketing. "Telcos' and Cable Operators' urgent need for a quantum leap in productivity improvement and CapEx reduction has been addressed with this breakthrough product."

The full-featured SunLite GigE provides multi-stream, multi-service testing capability for installation and maintenance of differentiated Ethernet and triple-play services, and all of the needed functionality for quick and easy service provisioning. A complete set of tests improves productivity and lowers operating expenses by eliminating the need for multiple test sets. Network and service quality can be tested across a variety of simultaneously stressed parameters, ensuring reliable performance.

"Sunrise Telecom has built the tiny SunLite GigE, a palm-sized tester that provides more Ethernet functionality and flexibility in one test set than other hand-held devices we've seen," said Michael Howard, principal analyst and co-founder of Infonetics Research. "The GigE tester should help field technicians quickly deploy any of a range of differentiated Ethernet services."

The SunLite GigE's traffic generation and measurements meet the needs of the most demanding testing scenarios. Using the SunLite GigE, field technicians can verify end-to-end transport of Gigabit Ethernet/IP traffic, transmit and analyze eight independent streams and run test methodology based on RFC2544. Technicians can use the SunLite GigE to determine throughput, link utilization, latency, and IP connectivity. Highly accurate results enable technicians to quickly make pass/fail, go/no-go decisions. In addition, the SunLite GigE's 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-X interfaces enable copper and fiber GigE testing in the same tester.

The SunLite GigE is a compact and lightweight test set that boots-up rapidly and runs cool without a fan, delivering the long battery life required for complete installation and maintenance of Metro Ethernet, IP services and network elements including switches and routers. The test set's intuitive graphical user interface, high resolution color screen, and simple test profile creation and sharing, allow technicians with limited Ethernet or IP testing experience to verify performance parameters for Gigabit Ethernet services quickly.

The SunLite GigE is immediately available from Sunrise Telecom. For sales information contact the company at info@sunrisetelecom.com.
