DragonRAD Fires Up Cross-Platform Mobile Enterprise Application Development

Seregon simplifies and greatly reduces the time and cost of building and deploying mobile enterprise applications across multiple platforms

SAN FRANCISCO and OTTAWA, Ontario, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Seregon Solutions Inc., a provider of Mobile Enterprise Application Platform software, today announced the widespread availability of DragonRAD(TM), a cross-platform mobile development tool that accelerates mobile application development and simplifies integration with back-office systems to deliver enterprise applications across any BlackBerry®, Android, or Windows Mobile(TM) device.

DragonRAD 4.0 is an evolution of SeregonMAP that allows enterprise application developers to connect to any database or Web service, build mobile applications quickly and easily in a visual drag and drop development environment, and deploy them to a wide array of mobile devices and operating systems. With DragonRAD, enterprise application developers build complex mobile applications in a fraction of the time of traditional development, and deploy them -- royalty free -- to an unlimited number of users. DragonRAD's support for BlackBerry, Android, and Windows Mobile devices allows organizations to build and deliver their enterprise applications on multiple platforms with no added cost or effort, currently one of the largest obstacles preventing businesses from going mobile.

CellTrak Technologies, Inc, a leading provider of integrated mobile solutions for home healthcare, turned to Seregon when a time-constrained opportunity arose to develop a complex application for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices. "CellTrak has more than 10,000 users of our industry leading mobile Home Heathcare solution", said Steve Wegner, chief technology officer at CellTrak. "Using Seregon's Mobile Application Platform (now called DragonRAD), we were able to rapidly create a prototype, and iteratively incorporate customer feedback until the application was complete. The Seregon Platform truly allows you to decrease cost, development time and risk in mobilizing enterprise applications."

DragonRAD's support for BlackBerry, Android, and Windows Mobile devices allows organizations to build and deliver their enterprise applications on multiple platforms with no added cost or effort, currently one of the largest obstacles preventing businesses from going mobile.

A Frost & Sullivan survey of 300 North American companies revealed that issues surrounding upfront costs continue to be cited as the key barrier to adoption for mobile enterprise applications. The cost to build custom mobile applications that integrate with current back-office systems has traditionally been unaffordable for most companies. DragonRAD helps to reduce this upfront cost with its rapid application development environment, ease of integration and synchronization of backend systems, and cross-platform support. Other features of the DragonRAD mobile development platform include:

    --  Cross-platform support for BlackBerry, Android, and Windows Mobile
        devices
    --  Easy-to-use drag and drop design environment
    --  Seamless integration with all SQL databases and Web Services (using
        custom data connectors)
    --  Native rapid application development
    --  One-button publish for over-the-air application delivery
    --  Powerful data triggers, event handlers, and push notification

DragonRAD is available as a free download from http://www.dragonrad.com/download. The Free version is fully featured and allows the development and testing of an unlimited number of applications but is limited to deployment to only two users.  The unrestricted Enterprise version is available on an annual subscription at $4,900 per developer and allows the development of an unlimited number of applications and deployment to an unlimited number of users. More pricing information can be found at http://www.dragonrad.com/pricing.

Seregon is exhibiting at  CTIA Enterprise & Applications(TM) being held in San Francisco October 5 to 8, and will be at booth #146.

Starting last Sunday, Oct. 3, the Pittsburgh Steelers launched a mobile application for the iPhone, Android and BlackBerry smart phone platforms developed by Narasimhan's spinoff company YinzCam, Inc. This groundbreaking mobile application will cater to Steelers fans both inside and outside the stadium.

"The technology provides instant action and real-time action replays from any of four unique camera angles at Heinz Field during a Steelers game, including the NFL's Red Zone Channel," said Narasimhan, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon and YinzCam, Inc.'s founder.

Narasimhan, who developed the idea of YinzCam after teaching a novel sports technology class at Carnegie Mellon, predicted that the NFL's use of technology will continue to benefit the game and its fans. For more than two years, YinzCam, Inc. has focused on mobile live streaming and experiential technologies for live events.

"Because football is a game of inches, it is extremely important that fans get instant visualization of the entire game, and can stay in touch with the real-time game action, anytime, anywhere," said Narasimhan, an avid Steelers fan. "The new technology also gives Steelers fans access to player bios, a depth chart and real-time stats, player by player, drive by drive," she said.

Essentially, YinzCam enables fans at a Steelers home game to experience live video streams from novel camera angles using their Wi-Fi enabled smartphones. Fans also can obtain instant replays for all the game highlights on their smart phones.

YinzCam is being launched for other NFL teams, including the New England Patriots and the San Francisco 49ers, and also for NHL teams, including the Pittsburgh Penguins.

CMU faculty member Rajeev Gandhi is involved with YinzCam, along with CMU alumni Justin Beaver, Nathan Mickulicz, Jeremy Kanter, Max Salley, Brian Finamore, Hao Su, Paul Rubritz and Lou Biancaniello.

Verizon Launches 4G LTE In 38 Major Metropolitan Areas by the End of the Year

4G LTE Network Also in Airports in Key Cities Outside of Initial Launch Area

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon underscored its rapid deployment of the world's first large-scale 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network today from the CTIA Enterprise & Applications(TM) 2010 conference.  Lowell McAdam, president and chief operating officer of Verizon, detailed the company's major network launch in 38 major metropolitan areas, covering more than 110 million Americans, by the end of the year.  In addition, the company is launching 4G LTE in more than 60 commercial airports coast to coast - both the airports within the launch areas plus airports in other key cities.

McAdam said, "We are driven by the vision to provide ubiquitous wireless broadband connectivity and mobility to rural and urban Americans alike.  With our initial 4G LTE launch, we will immediately reach more than one-third of all Americans where they live, right from the start.  And, we will quickly introduce 4G LTE throughout the Verizon coverage area."

McAdam highlighted the metropolitan areas for the initial launch, which include:

    --  Large sections of the Northeast Corridor, including Boston, New York,
        Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. as well as Rochester, New
        York
    --  Throughout Miami and south Florida, Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston,
        and New Orleans as well as Charlotte, North Carolina and Nashville,
        Tennessee
    --  Chicagoland, St. Louis, the Twin Cities, Pittsburgh and major cities in
        Ohio
    --  Major population centers in California as well as Seattle, Phoenix,
        Denver and Las Vegas
(A list of all metropolitan areas and airports is located at the end of the news release.)

Verizon Wireless is building its 4G LTE network with the same commitment to performance and reliability for which it has long been recognized.  Verizon Wireless' laser focus on reliability is based on rigid engineering standards and a disciplined deployment approach year after year.

Enterprise users, businesses and individuals can immediately benefit from Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network this year.  While Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network promises much more than speed, the first application gives employees the ability to work at significantly faster speeds and improved latency, increasing productivity and the opportunity to get work done where their business takes them.

McAdam continued, "Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network will also be available in the commercial airports in the 38 metropolitan areas, plus we're launching airports in other key cities coast to coast, giving road warriors added coverage when they travel.  Every time we've built a next generation network, our customers have seen real benefits to their bottom lines.  Taking advantage of the first large-scale LTE network on the globe gives our customers a competitive advantage."

Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE rollout positions the company to be the global leader in 4G LTE deployment.  Verizon Wireless expects 4G LTE average data rates to be 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink in real-world, loaded network environments.  These speeds are significantly faster than Verizon Wireless and other wireless providers' current or promised 3G network speeds.

By leveraging its 700 MHz spectrum for LTE deployment in the United States, Verizon Wireless is capable of quickly deploying a high-quality wireless broadband network with excellent coverage.  The company is currently installing LTE equipment at existing cell sites and switching centers around the United States as part of its extensive, ongoing investment in its voice and data network infrastructure.

In addition to the 38 major metropolitan areas, Verizon Wireless is launching its 4G LTE network in West Lafayette, Ind., home of Purdue University.  The public university is using several innovative software applications on Verizon Wireless' 3G network that improve student engagement and success, and Verizon Wireless is working with Purdue to explore the next phase of how 4G LTE technology can improve e-learning across the nation.

Timesys® Announces LinuxLink for Rich Multimedia User Interface Development

Cuts development time for creating graphical interfaces for embedded Linux devices

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Timesys Corporation (http://www.timesys.com), provider of award-winning embedded Linux solutions and expert Linux support, today announced the addition of a new solution, LinuxLink for Rich Multimedia User Interfaces (Rich MUI).  The new solution allows developers to easily build multi-media UI-based devices and reduces platform and application development startup time from months to days.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090515/NE17461LOGO )

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090515/NE17461LOGO )

Developing embedded Linux based multimedia applications by using free open source tools is extremely complex and time consuming. Simply accessing all the different pieces of software needed and ensuring they work together require Linux expertise and can take months of work. The LinuxLink Rich MUI offering significantly shortens the time spent configuring and compiling distributions by:

    --  Providing application developers a drag-and-drop, WYSIWYG tool for
        designing the GUI and cross-building the code to run on the target,
    --  Offering a library of well-documented, working demos utilizing OpenGL
        ES, GStreamer, and many Qt Widget and API calls to save weeks of trial
        and error, and
    --  Gathering, integrating and testing all the necessary drivers, codecs and
        API libraries, and reconciling version compatibility. A platform
        developer can simply select from one of the Rich MUI templates and all
        the components are already cross-built and linked. LinuxLink generates a
        bootable platform and complete toolchain.

The LinuxLink Rich MUI solution includes all the software components and tools required to build 2D, 3D, audio- and video-accelerated systems. The offering includes 2D/3D Graphics software development kits (SDKs), Qt framework, drivers for HW accelerated components and GStreamer plugins for audio and video. In addition, the LinuxLink Rich MUI solution includes Timesys TimeStorm -- an Eclipse-based IDE that includes Timesys plug-ins for debug and deployment and Qt Designer plug-ins for WYSIWYG GUI design.

Unmetered, expert Linux support from Timesys is included in every subscription of LinuxLink Rich MUI solution to further reduce development time and risk.

"Timesys has worked diligently to provide an easy-to-use solution for developing Rich MUI applications for customers utilizing Texas Instruments' (TI) Sitara(TM) ARM® microprocessors and DaVinci(TM) video processors. By taking full advantage of the pre-integrated video and graphics components, developers can shorten development time and focus on building differentiated products by leveraging the rich multimedia capabilities provided by our processors," said Jithu Niruthambath,  ARM MPU software and tools marketing manager, TI.

"Our longstanding relationship with Timesys has resulted in satisfied customers building graphics-based products on our System on Modules. The new Rich MUI offering from Timesys will allow our customers to easily create new multimedia-capable products and get to market faster," said Eric Harnisch, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Logic PD.

"The LinuxLink edition for Rich MUI gives our i.MX customers an easy-to-use Linux development environment that provides the commercial quality tools and support they need to speed and simplify development," said Bernd Lienhard, vice president and general manager of Freescale Semiconductor's Multimedia Applications Division. "The introduction of Timesys' new LinuxLink product to the broad ecosystem of enablement tools means more options and fast time to market for i.MX customers."

"The Rich MUI version of LinuxLink continues our focus on providing easy to use tools for embedded Linux developers," said Atul Bansal, CEO of Timesys. "Rich user interfaces are fast becoming pervasive and necessary to maintain differentiation. Manufacturers continue to experience time-to-market and cost pressures while requiring increasingly sophisticated features be added to their devices. Timesys helps cut down the time, risk and cost involved in building these new devices."

The LinuxLink Rich MUI edition will be available starting in October 2010.

Panda Adds Cloud-Based Protection to GateDefender Performa 4.0

Updated SCM appliance delivers real-time perimeter protection against all types of known and unknown threats, blocks risky Internet use by employees

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Panda Security, The Cloud Security Company, today announced the general availability of its latest secure content management (SCM) appliance: Panda GateDefender Performa version 4.0. This updated release offers hybrid cloud protection against Internet-born malware and spam that's appropriate for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) as well as enterprise computing environments, automatically blocking non-productive and potentially risky Internet activity by employees.

The exponential rise in the number of Web-based threats, along with the growing use of social networking and other Web 2.0 applications, has created major bandwidth and network performance issues for businesses, lowering employee productivity and increasing security risks. Panda GateDefender Performa 4.0 delivers antimalware, antispam, Web filtering, content filtering, and the ability to selectively block IM/P2P/VoIP/Spotify communications that are known to critically impact bandwidth consumption. Businesses using the appliance experience significantly improved employee productivity resulting from an optimized user experience across the Web, email, and IM using static or mobile devices.

Improved Performance, Increased Protection

The new version is more scalable than earlier iterations, making it uniquely suitable for expanding businesses as it easily adapts to changing needs and performance requirements. The appliance's automatic load-balancing and intelligent high-availability optimize network capacity, dramatically lowering the total cost of securing the network perimeter. Version 4.0 also seamlessly integrates with existing IT systems, including LDAP/Active Directory, to support the implementation of corporate security policies. 

With the new release, GateDefender intercepts and filters SSL traffic over HTTPS, decrypting the data to scan the content and then encrypting it again before sending it to the recipient to ensure maximum protection of data in transit. The new and improved cloud-based management console further simplifies the work of IT security administrators by providing real-time monitoring of the entire organization's security status through a single viewer. The enhanced console also offers a more intuitive user design, expanded graphs and statistical dashboards, improved reporting, and additional online support resources.

Models for Companies of All Sizes

Panda GateDefender Performa 4.0 is offered in four models to meet the needs of most businesses: SB, 9100, 9500 Lite, and 9500 Large. Each model offers appropriate capacity for scanning Web traffic and email messages, depending on the number of concurrent employee Internet connections.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Force10 Networks, Inc., a global technology leader that data center, service provider and enterprise customers rely on when the network is their business, today announced the extension of its S-Series(TM) family with the new S55 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) top-of-rack (ToR) access switch. Optimized for data center environments, the new S55 provides a resilient and energy-efficient hardware design that delivers non-blocking, line-rate switching performance as well as support for the Force10 Open Automation Framework to make virtualized data center environments more responsive and manageable.

"The ToR switch plays an increasingly vital role in data center networks as they continue to rapidly grow and evolve," says Steve Garrison, vice president, marketing, Force10 Networks. "As bandwidth scaling and virtual network management challenges increase at the server edge, network managers require greater performance and intelligence in the ToR switch.  Force10's new S55 delivers on that requirement while rounding out the company's line of high-performance 1/10 GbE ToR switches and paves the way for an expanded set of 10/40 GbE offerings in the future."

The S55 complements Force10's other S-Series 1/10 GbE ToR products, including the recently announced S60 high performance access switch with ultra-deep packet buffering and the price/performance-optimized S50 and S25. The S-Series 1/10 GbE ToR switches provide line-rate, low-latency switching, with configuration flexibility as well as high reliability, and are ideally deployed with the Force10 ExaScale virtualized core switch/router to create a flat, two-tier, fully non-blocking GbE and 10 GbE data center solution.

Bringing Horsepower, Efficiency and Automation to the Network Edge

The compact, high-density S55 ToR switch provides 48 GbE access ports and up to four optional 10 GbE uplinks in just 1-RU. The S55 provides non-blocking, line-rate switching to meet the performance requirements of the most demanding data center network, while including architectural features that optimize efficiency. Purpose-built for data center environments, the S55 design includes optional front-to-back or back-to-front airflow, redundant, hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies, four SFP ports and support for the stacking of up to 8 units.

Like the S60 1/10 GbE switch, the S55 also provides support for Force10's Open Automation Framework and advanced network virtualization capabilities.  Delivering a suite of inter-related network management and architectural tools, the Open Automation Framework brings network automation to virtual data center environments, providing a network that is more flexible, available and manageable while reducing operational expenses.

AT&T Expands Wireless Capacity in Westchester, Putnam and Rockland Counties

Additional Spectrum Expected to Improve Connectivity and Performance of 3G Voice and Data Applications

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Oct. 6/PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* today announced the completion of a key initiative in its ongoing efforts to enhance the wireless capacity and performance of its 3G mobile broadband network in Westchester, Putnam and Rockland Counties in New York. As a result of the enhancement to more than 65 cell sites, local customers are expected to experience improved 3G wireless voice and data connectivity and performance, especially during peak hours.

The network enhancement adds new layers of frequency, also known as "carriers," to more efficiently manage available spectrum and increase 3G capacity at local cell sites. The expansion helps manage ever-growing demand for mobile broadband services by allocating more network resources for AT&T's 3G network. This is part of a previously announced investment plan to enhance mobile broadband access in metro New York. "Delivering dependable wireless coverage for consumers and business customers who need to stay connected is our ultimate objective," said Hal Lenox, president, AT&T New York. "Our ongoing investments in this critical part of the state will help us ensure that our customers have access to the wireless services that help drive economic growth."

"We're working hard to ensure our customers have an extraordinary experience when they make a call, check e-mail, download a song or video, or surf the Internet on their AT&T device," said Tom DeVito, vice president and general manager for AT&T in New York and New Jersey. "Adding capacity is just one way we are enhancing the network." 

Wireless data traffic on the AT&T network has grown more than 5,000 percent over the past three years, largely due to the increasing popularity of advanced smartphones and the performance of AT&T's 3G network. AT&T has the fastest mobile broadband network in the nation.

The expansion of spectrum for 3G use is one of many ongoing network initiatives planned to enhance coverage and capacity across the country. AT&T recently upgraded 3G cell sites nationwide to High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2. Future plans include another upgrade to HSPA+ technology at the end of this year followed by the initial deployment next year of LTE, the next-generation of wireless technology. These advancements, when combined with an ongoing initiative to increase the number of high-speed backhaul connections to cell sites, are a part of AT&T's strategy to provide customers with an enhanced mobile broadband experience, both today and in the future.

AT&T's 3G mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the best international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, providing access to voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in 200 countries. AT&T also offers voice and data roaming coverage on more than 140 major cruise ships, as well as 3G services in more than 125 countries.

Global Launch of SolutionAuctions.com - The Only Auction Marketplace to Post Problems and Sell Solutions

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting with its launch October 6, SolutionAuctions.com is a new way to trade information. It's an online auction site that allows anyone to sell solutions or post a problem and take bids for the answer. SolutionAuctions.com is the only website of its kind who dares to offer 100% satisfaction guaranteed for all solutions.  Every new solution is another opportunity for people to make money, using knowledge they already have - while really helping other people solve problems. As part of the launch, SolutionAuctions.com is offering cash awards for new solutions (up to $30 per article), referrals, and survey responses.

A short video walks through the process and benefits of joining the site: http://www.solutionauctions.com/Overview_Video/.

SolutionAuctions.com is an idea born of a problem. In 2007, founder Joey Liender spent hours online for several weeks sifting through conflicting information, and made three wasted trips to a dealer to try to enable Bluetooth in his car. The experience gave him an idea - why not develop a place where people can provide specific solutions to specific problems for money? Even better - a place where people can ask questions on any topic and get an answer, satisfaction guaranteed. His concept was like an eBay but for ideas.

Liender called in experts like industry-renowned Tim Ash of Site Tuners to create a site designed for the best user experience. After a total of 7260 hours of work, 26 months, 4000 bugs, and over 100 contractors in 11 countries, the site was ready.

The result is SolutionAuctions.com.

"We're in the business of connecting people's minds together," Liender explained. "We offer our users great opportunities to make money by helping others."

Sell Solutions: Make Money for What You Know

"Expert" is a flexible term. Liender values practical knowledge as much as credentials. "Everyone is an expert at something," Liender explains. Some people are experts through credentials (such as the FBI forensic analyst who posts solutions on computer problems). Other people are experts through practical knowledge (such as the grandmother with 26 grandchildren and a gift for dealing with toddlers).  Liender has a system that makes it easy for experts to make money:

    --  Sell solutions to daily life problems.  Listing is free.
    --  Profit from hours of web searching by turning it into a solution and
        selling it.
    --  Increase your returns by selling solutions multiple times with free
        automated re-listings.

"Its fun," Liender said, "when someone is willing to pay you for something that you know."

ABOUT SOLUTION AUCTIONS, LC

SolutionAuctions.com is the only auction market place to post problems and sell solutions. SolutionAuctions.com allows members use their life experience or credentials to make extra money and save other people time, effort, and frustration. We have a satisfaction guarantee -- if your solution doesn't work, you get a refund. Signing up and posting questions and solutions are always free.  Members can sell solutions multiple times with automatic free re-listings. http://www.solutionauctions.com.

"Strengthening our position in this market has been part of our overall strategic growth strategy," states Gerhard Schedler, President & CEO of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS.  "We assessed that this vertical would be better served by having access to a comprehensive suite of solutions that are easily integrated into existing infrastructure or leveraged from a single platform.  Sattel's technology proved to be a natural extension to our existing solutions for the marine and intermodal market."

Over the past four years, IDENTEC SOLUTIONS has established a firm foothold in the global marine terminal market, deploying both proprietary and technology partner systems for gate, yard and quay automation projects in Australia, Europe, the USA and Latin America. By incorporating Sattel's hardware and software into the company's total visibility and control platform, IDENTEC SOLUTIONS can expand its marine & intermodal portfolio to include the industry's most comprehensive range of systems. The suite of solutions includes RFID, GPS, RTLS, sensor technologies, as well as a full range of software applications for both powered and non powered assets.

AT&T to Offer First Carrier-Provided, Two Factor Encryption Service for Smartphones

AT&T Encrypted Mobile Voice Service uses Powerful Combination of Hardware and Software to Enable Voice Calls with High-Level Security

DALLAS, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* today launched AT&T Encrypted Mobile Voice, the first carrier-provided two factor encryption service, which provides high-level security features for calls on the AT&T wireless network. The service is targeted at government agencies, law enforcement organizations, financial services institutions and international businesses.

According to ABI Research, as smartphone distribution among the mobile business customer base increases, mobile phone security features will become more prominent, particularly among mid- and large-size company employees. Smartphone penetration among mobile business customers in the United States is expected to increase from about 28% to about 45% by 2014(1). And in a survey conducted by AT&T in June, three out of four executives are concerned about how the use of mobile networks/devices could potentially impact security.(2)

AT&T Encrypted Mobile Voice combines KoolSpan's TrustChip® and SRA International's One Vault Voice(TM) into the first carrier-provided two-factor encryption solution. TrustChip is a fully hardened, self-contained crypto engine inserted into the smartphone's microSD slot. Embedded with AT&T TrustGroup, the KoolSpan TrustChip offers the strength of additional hardware authentication, enables encrypted calling interoperability with a defined group of other AT&T TrustGroup users and can be managed over-the-air.

SRA's One Vault Voice integrates the security functions of the TrustChip with a feature rich application that provides an intuitive user interface. This powerful combination allows users to easily place and receive encrypted calls by integrating with the mobile phone's standard operation and address book to provide a user friendly and seamless security option. This on-demand security function delivers mutual authentication and end-to-end encryption to enable a high-level security call mode.

"With the adoption of smartphone use in government and businesses, it's clear that the security ecosystem requires an approach that incorporates both wired and wireless," said Ed Amoroso, Chief Security Officer, AT&T. "We're continuously working to stay ahead of evolving technologies and threats, and have a specialized team within AT&T Labs that is dedicated to investigating security challenges in the wireless space. AT&T Encrypted Mobile Voice is the product of such innovation."

"Year over year, the cost of compromised data and operational security threats has increased dramatically," said Pat Burke, SRA Senior Vice President of Offerings and Products. "These threats have elevated cyber security as a strategic priority for both business and government organizations worldwide."

"This solution was designed to address these very requirements," said Tony Fascenda, KoolSpan Chief Executive Officer. "We help resolve the privacy and national security concerns of our customers by using standard smartphones on public networks to create secure calls globally."

AT&T Encrypted Mobile Voice supports BlackBerry® smartphones and Windows® Phones on the AT&T wireless network. Unlike other encrypted voice systems, AT&T Encrypted Mobile Voice is not limited by availability of legacy Circuit Switched Data coverage and can operate in the over 190 countries globally where AT&T provides data roaming.

AT&T Encrypted Mobile Voice meets the government information classification standards for Controlled Unclassified Information, offering The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS - 140-2 validation.

Today, AT&T delivers some of the most powerful weapons to combat cybersecurity attacks. AT&T's network security solutions rely on three key ingredients: a scalable, reliable global IP network; security experts with in-depth, hands-on experience; and the innovation and research of AT&T Labs. AT&T delivers a suite of security and business continuity services to help assess vulnerabilities, protect infrastructure, detect attacks and respond to suspicious activities and events.

TrialPay Launches DealSpot to Bring Exclusive, Branded Deals to Social Apps

Social game monetization moves beyond the 'Offer Wall' with hypertargeted in-game promotions

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- TrialPay, the leading social monetization provider, today announced the launch of DealSpot(TM), a comprehensive promotion framework that delivers exclusive deals and branded engagements inside social applications. DealSpot leverages TrialPay's deep advertiser relationships and launches with an impressive roster of partners, including Groupon for local deals, LOVEFiLM for subscription entertainment, branded retailers such as Yves Rocher and Lancome for shopping, Rue La La and Mertado for flash sales and a host of video and brand engagements featuring companies such as Unilever, VH1 and Kia Motors. 

In order to give publishers control over the deal context, TrialPay has pioneered an industry first: deals automatically appear in games via dynamically loaded Flash components that appear when relevant deals are available to consumers. There is also an API available for direct access to deals.  DealSpot is the first platform to enable game developers to control how deals appear inside their applications, allowing these promotions to be fully integrated into the game experience.

Over the last six months, DealSpot has been running in private beta with some of the largest social game publishers through titles such as Playdom's Sorority Life, Playfish's Restaurant City and iWin's Family Feud.

"DealSpot allows our more than 50 million players worldwide to participate in an array of deals and brands without leaving the game," says Saby Agarwal, director of payments at Playfish.  "The platform encourages players to return daily to check whether new deals are available, which means Playfish can increase engagement and loyalty."

Monetization of social games is still in its infancy, with only 1-3 percent of the 300 million social game players actually purchasing virtual goods.  However, with DealSpot, publishers can now monetize users around virtual items and in-game events rather than hoping that players visit a separate payment page.

"We've seen a significant increase in user engagement and overall revenue from DealSpot," says David Cordis, Product Manager for iWin's Family Feud. "Our offer-based revenue has more than doubled on past DealSpot promotions, enabling us to convert more players into payers."

DealSpot can also be used to encourage deeper user engagement by providing special deals based on player performance.  For example, iWin will use DealSpot to display special promotions to players who have reached certain levels in Family Feud.

"We are rolling out DealSpot not only as a way for all users to earn virtual currency, but also as a way to reward users who advance to higher levels in the game," says Cordis.

DealSpot also enables a more sophisticated approach to offering local deals. TrialPay matches the best local deal for a particular consumer and city from a wide range of deals sourced from group-buying companies such as Groupon, Tippr and LivingSocial. For example, social game publisher Playdom recently used DealSpot to promote the hugely successful Gap Groupon inside its Sorority Life game: players who purchased a Groupon for $25 off a $50 purchase at Gap also received Sorority Life Brownie Points.

TrialPay's extensive offer inventory ensures that social game publishers can always provide relevant options within their games in order to maximize conversion.

"DealSpot's in-game targeting and placement capabilities have dramatically boosted conversion rates and are strongly aligned with our strategy to increase customer engagement inside our games," says Cordis. "With DealSpot, we get access to TrialPay's strong pipeline of deals and promotions though a single integration. That's powerful."

About TrialPay:

TrialPay makes developers more money by presenting their online consumers with relevant promotions at every stage of the purchase process.  TrialPay pioneered the transactional marketing model more than four years ago and has served over 70 million users and 10,000 merchants and publishers, including many of the world's most well-known software and casual and social gaming brands.  TrialPay was recently granted three U.S. patents for its unique methods and systems for alternative payments.  A vocal advocate for quality standards and transparency in the industry, TrialPay is the only independent monetization platform that has consistently upheld an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

Available for sale now at Athena's website (http://www.Athena4Me.com) and Amazon.com, the Style PC has a design for every personality, from bold and bright to understated and classic. The Style PC line is launching with these unique collections:

    Hernan Zajar: Features two bright and bold designs from the renowned
     Columbian fashion designer.
            Color Graffiti: Splashes of yellow, blue, pink and orange seem to
            be applied to the notebook directly from an artist's brush, with
            colors that pop against a black background.
            Safari: This Zajar Style PC roars fashion! Safari brings bold
            design to everyday style with an impossible to miss zebra print.
    Illustrations & Art: Includes sketches, unique artwork and one-of-a-
     kind designs from the chic to the whimsical.
            Chic Cafe: A taste of metropolitan flair has been captured in this
            downtown scene that will add a touch of urban elegance - and a
            palate of soft purple, green and pink - to your day.
            Blossom: Like looking through a kaleidoscope as a child, Blossom
            delivers a splash of wonder and amazement with an illustration
            that seems to come alive with fun and sophistication.
            Love Story: Pairs of flowers and birds appear to float across the
            gentle blue background of this notebook, exuding warmth, happiness
            and innocent romance.
            Pixel Perfect: A solid black background allows for simple red,
            blue, white and pink circles to transform from plain pixels into
            something pretty.

In addition to the Style PC, Athena has also launched a complete line of Style Bags - carrying cases that feature a complementary design to its accompanying notebook. Made from soft-touch neoprene fabric, each Style Bag has a lush felt interior for soft protection and an adjustable strap for easy and comfortable carrying. Every Style PC comes bundled with its Style Bag mate for a retail price of $599.99.

Looking ahead, Athena will continue to provide women with fashionable, on-the-go technology with the additional release of matching external hard drives and DVD-RW drives later this year. At $79.99 each, Style Drives will be an extension of the six designs already featured on the Style PC and Style Bags to create a complete, one-of-a-kind set. Athena also has plans to continue the six designs, by combining the world of fashion and travel with Style Luggage. Expected to be released in late 2010, Style Luggage will allow fashionistas to take their fashion-sense around the world.

Internet Society Launches Suite of Identity Management Tools

System enables users to track changes in online usage policies of the websites they visit

RESTON, Va., Oct. 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Internet Society announced today the availability of an Identity Management (IdM) Policy Audit System, a suite of tools designed to give Internet users a clearer understanding of the online usage policies of the websites they visit.

"With the rapid growth of social networking and the associated identity and privacy issues, site usage policies are becoming more important and are ever-changing," said Lucy Lynch, Director of Trust and Identity Initiatives at the Internet Society. "We are pleased to have brought together a team of stakeholders to help restore users' confidence in the Internet by creating a trusted solution to help them manage the use of their personal data. With the right information and tools to navigate the complexity, the end user remains in control."

Website usage policies are generally long, confusing and can change frequently without any notification, making it extremely challenging for Internet users to keep track of changes in the terms of service (ToS) for the sites they visit. This is a particular issue when changes in the terms affect how personal data is used or shared. The IdM Policy Audit System addresses these issues and eases the process for users to help them find, understand and monitor the policies as they change.

By reducing the complexity of terms of service changes, users can more confidently and effectively manage their online identity and associated personal data.

The IdM Policy Audit System components include:

    --  Policy Monitor - The mechanism tracking known website usage policies.
    --  Policy Library - The repository of policy snapshots as they change over
        time.
    --  Policy Audit Client - A Firefox plugin that presents policy information
        to the user.

In parallel, the source code, which will enable the creation of multiple other client applications, is being made available for download.

The Internet Society Policy Audit Plugin, created specifically for Firefox, is a working reference application that accesses the Policy Library and alerts users when they visit a website that publishes a policy that the Policy Monitor is tracking. The alert indicates whether the user has viewed the policy page(s) associated with the site and whether it has changed since the last time they viewed the page using the plugin. They are also presented with the ability to perform a "difference" comparison between the current version and the one they previously viewed, with any changes clearly highlighted.

Previewed at the Telecommunications Policy Research Conference (TPRC), the IdM Policy Audit System was created thanks to a collaboration between the Internet Society, the Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU), Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), in a combined effort to address the need to develop solutions for these issues associated with site usage policies.  The EFF was instrumental in developing the foundation for the Policy Monitor by contributing the code for their TOSBack website that tracks policies.

"A key issue facing people is the lack of transparency about the policies governing the use of online services," says Tim Jones, Activism and Technology Manager at the EFF.  "While we work toward a more comprehensive technical solution, we need a way to help people today know what policies they're agreeing to.  This is why we created the TOSBack service, and why we're interested in helping tools like the ISOC Policy Audit Plugin increase the visibility of policies everyone is supposed to be reading."

"The IdM Policy Audit System will make it far easier for users to recognize when a website they're browsing has recently changed its Terms of Service." says Cyrus Nemati, Web Producer for the CDT.  "Even when users are concerned about ToS changes, they might not even know they've occurred - the Policy Audit Client fixes this problem."

The active Policy Library, complete system source code, and ISOC Policy Audit Plugin for Firefox are now publicly available for download and community collaboration:

Rapid Fire Marketing Gains Share of Electronic Cigarette Market

CARSON CITY, Nev., Oct. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rapid Fire Marketing, (Pink Sheets: RFMK) announced the launch of http://www.BionicCigs.com, the premiere website for electronic cigarettes. The Company is focusing its online marketing efforts on this exciting new product that helps smokers wishing to quit and allows those who do smoke, to smoke anywhere they choose. The electronic cigarette market is estimated to be a $100 million dollar industry and presents an enormous opportunity for investors looking to be part of this fast growing sector.

Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. The reason it is so addictive is because it rewires your brain. A recent post puts it this way: "Once rewired, your brain feels bad without nicotine. This happens because nicotine mimics a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. To your neurons, nicotine looks like a surge of acetylcholine. This surge causes a release of dopamine, which is pleasant and feels good. Unfortunately, your brain also responds to the surge by changing the number of acetylcholine receptors and the amount of the neurotransmitter that it releases. When you stop smoking, the lack of nicotine causes an imbalance, and you feel bad, very bad, so you start smoking again. The only way to beat cigarettes is to cut your consumption of nicotine long enough to let your brain re-rewire itself back to normal."

Therefore, many smokers are looking for a different delivery system for the nicotine they need. They may be doing that simply to avoid the trip outdoors, or they might want to lower the cancer risk. They may even be trying to gain more control over nicotine intake so they can ramp it down to zero over time. There are currently several alternatives for nicotine delivery, including patches, gum, inhalers and even nicotine water, but many smokers are getting excited about the latest craze: electronic cigarettes. An electronic cigarette is an electronic device that delivers nicotine as a mist, without the harmful side effects associated with the other ingredients found in traditional cigarettes. Because no smoke is emitted, the user is free to use the product anywhere they choose.

"The Company has committed to focus its full attention on the marketing and sales of this unique product and has discontinued its marketing of other products that do not have the potential of Bionic electronic cigarettes," stated Michael Amezquita, President/ CEO.

INTERCIM Received a New Patent for a Non-statistical Approach for "Design of Experiments" and the Iterative Discovery of an Explanatory Model

Company Awarded Patent # 7,617,171 B2

ST. PAUL, Minnesota and PARIS, October 6, 2010/PRNewswire/ --     Intercim, LLC, a global leader in manufacturing operation
management (MOM) software, announced it has been awarded a patent called
"Process for the iterative construction of an explanatory model".

    This patented process is a key component of the Intercim
Operations Intelligence technology and will help industrial manufacturers and
life sciences researchers in two ways: unlike a statistics-based approach, it
reuses existing information to optimize the length and cost of an experiment
plan and it gives a quick and effective way to confirm the reliability of a
discovery with only a few experiments.

    This approach enables Pertinence Suite's users to get, much
faster, a more reliable explanatory model even with limited data points
available in a highly multi-dimensional non-euclidian space.

    "This approach seems much easier to adopt than other standard
Design of Experiment techniques, because we can analyze simultaneously the
influence of many design parameters without statistical hypotheses. Thanks to
the Interactive Experiment Planning of Process Rule Discovery(TM), we have
reduced our need for physical experiments by 50% and sometimes more," says
Dominique Veret, former Head of Development at Siemens Automotive Hydraulics,
now Continental.

    In the last 18 months, Intercim has received several
additional patents which validate the uniqueness of Intercim's logic-based
analytics for rule discovery and rule-based real-time predictions on complex
systems and industrial processes. The announcement of this latest patent
further demonstrates the unprecedented value proposition that Intercim offers
to the market in terms of Operations Intelligence. John Todd, Intercim's CEO
adds, "This patent confirms that Intercim truly offers a unique and high
value-add capability. This latest Patent award helps validate Intercim's
contribution to improved complex system understanding, manufacturing
productivity and cycle time optimization for our key markets: Aerospace &
Defense, Automotive and Life Sciences."

    About Intercim

    Intercim has a 27-year history of helping advanced and highly regulated
manufacturers reach their business goals through best in class software
solutions. Early 2009, Dassault Systemes a world leader Product Lifecycle
Management took a minority position in Intercim. For the first time, the
combination of Intercim's software capabilities with the virtual experience
provided by Dassault Systemes' solutions allows this type of mission-critical
collaboration and knowledge sharing. Intercim serves industry-leading
customers such as Boeing, EADS, Areva, Intel, Sanofi-Pasteur, BMW, and
Honeywell.

EarthLink Demonstrates Comcast-NBCU Merger Will Increase Prices of Comcast's Broadband Service

ATLANTA, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- EarthLink, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELNK), one of the nation's leading Internet service providers, has presented an economic report to the Federal Communications Commission on the proposed merger of Comcast Corp. and NBC Universal.  The findings demonstrate that control of NBC Universal's content and assets will result in Comcast raising the prices that consumers pay for standalone broadband service. This report was prepared by Professor Simon J. Wilkie, Former Chief Economist of the Federal Communications Commission, and is available at http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7020915403.

The report shows that an increase in the price of standalone broadband service will harm consumers in several ways.  In response to higher prices, existing subscribers may be forced to drop their broadband service subscription and new subscribers may not be able to afford Comcast's broadband service.  Further, Comcast customers who wish to "cut the cord" from the higher-priced Comcast cable television subscription in order to access lower-cost online video and voice services via standalone broadband or simply "break the bundle" and subscribe only to broadband services will face increased charges. As a result, the market for innovative online video services will be stifled and the nation's goals of ubiquitous broadband adoption and usage will be dampened.

In June, EarthLink asked the FCC to deny the merger or adopt a condition requiring Comcast to offer wholesale standalone broadband access service to independent Internet service providers. Professor Wilkie determined that allowing consumers to have a choice for broadband services will allow consumers to "break the bundle," promote and discipline Comcast's pricing and protect the development of online video. This remedy will impose little or no costs on Comcast while at the same time generating significant benefits.

"Professor Wilkie has confirmed through substantial findings that the Comcast-NBCU transaction will result in a real and significant harm to consumers," said EarthLink General Counsel Samuel R. DeSimone, Jr.  "The FCC must step in to ensure that consumers have access to affordable standalone broadband service."

About Prof. Simon J. Wilkie

Simon J. Wilkie serves as Chairman and Professor of Economics at the University of Southern California. He also serves as a co-director for the Center in Law, Economics, and Organization at the USC Law School.
