4G LTE launch is part of AT&T's more than $16 million investment in Nebraska network in first-half of 2012
Customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has turned on its 4G LTE network in Omaha, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. In the first half of 2012, AT&T invested more than $16 million in its Nebraska wireless and wired networks. Watch here to see several of the benefits that AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:
-- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet
speeds up to 10-times faster than 3G. Customers can stream, download,
upload and game faster than ever before.
-- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including
new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets, such as the Motorola ATRIX (TM)
HD, Sony Xperia (TM) ion, HTC One(TM) X, Samsung Focus(®) 2, Nokia
Lumia 900, Samsung Galaxy Note(TM), and Pantech Element(TM) tablet.
-- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the
processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how
long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent
the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming,
two-way video calling and telemedicine.
-- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource,
and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating
more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better
network experience.

"We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Omaha responds to what customers want from their mobile experience -- more, faster, on the best devices," said Hardmon Williams, AT&T vice president and general manager for Nebraska, Minnesota and the Northern Plains.
"More than ever, we use wireless communications to stay connected with family, friends and business colleagues," said Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle. "I applaud AT&T's continued investment in its wireless network to ensure Omaha residents and businesses have the latest capabilities and devices. That's good for business, the local economy and the quality of life for Nebraskans."
In addition to 4G LTE, AT&T's network enhancements throughout Nebraska during the first-half of 2012 include activation of new cell sites or towers to improve network coverage, deploying faster connections to enable 4G speeds, and adding spectrum capacity to support additional traffic.
First-half upgrade highlights include:
-- Activating two new cell sites or towers to improve network coverage.
-- Adding capacity or an extra layer of frequency to cell sites - like
adding lanes to a highway - with the addition of 18 of these layers, or
"carriers".
-- Deploying faster fiber-optic connections to nearly 88 cell sites.
Combined with HSPA+ technology, these deployments enable 4G speeds**.
-- Installing 4G LTE in Omaha
AT&T's 4G Network
AT&T's innovation and investment has resulted in the nation's largest 4G network, covering 275 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. AT&T is the only U.S. service provider to deploy two compatible 4G technologies to deliver more speed to more customers. Our 4G LTE network delivered faster average download speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld's most recent 13-market speed tests.
AT&T's 4G LTE network delivers speeds up to 10-times faster than 3G***, as well as multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. Our network's radio components are placed close to the antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the base station, which helps minimize power loss between the base station and antenna and, in turn, improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The network also is designed with its core elements distributed across the country, which helps reduce latency, or the delay when using the Internet, because your request isn't traveling as far.
Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage in 2012 and 2013, customers can get 4G speeds outside of LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike competitors', where customers fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage. And only AT&T's 4G network lets iPhone 4S download three times faster.
AT&T's focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace additional connection technologies. AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** including more than 30,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers across the country. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.
AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.
Over the past five years, AT&T invested more than $115 billion into operations and into acquiring spectrum and other assets that have enhanced our wireless and wired networks. Since 2007, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes."

Mobile Viewpoint Introduces at IBC a Sandwich box sized low Power HD/SD Streaming Bonding Solution, the WMT-Bold
ALKMAAR, the Netherlands, September 5, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
During IBC 2012 Mobile Viewpoint's will showcase this latest development in 3G and 4G
bonding for live video transmission. The close cooperation with the BBC in their 70 day
live coverage of the Olympic torch Relay using Mobile Viewpoint's WMT equipment and the
experiences gained during this major project lead to the development of the WMT-Bold. This
is a unique product that combines an extendable antenna and off the shelf USB modems.
This autumn Mobile Viewpoint will introduce the WM- Bold, a combination of an embedded
hardware encoder and off the shelf USB 3G, 4G, CDMA2000 and Wimax modems. The modems are
located in a separate antenna array providing the highest gain possible. The antenna array
has a sophisticated removable design making it possible to separate the bonding and
encoding hardware form the antenna array for better reception and radiation purposes. The
WMT-Bold can be used on the back of a camera or put in a small carrying bag. The WMT-Bold
was the missing part in Mobile Viewpoints portfolio leveraging existing USB low power
hardware.
Michel Bais, Managing Director Mobile Viewpoint: "In many customer projects we are
facing the always existing incompatibility between modem and mobile network manufacturers.
Especially in 4G we have seen many issues regarding hand over between 3G and 4G. Also LTE
frequencies differ and sometimes networks are still in trial phase. This makes it only
possible to work with USB modems provided by the local operator. The WMT-Bold with its USB
based antenna array makes it possible to plug in any modem and leverage a whole market of
affordable devices and reduce power consumption at the same time".
Mobile Viewpoint is a Dutch based company and a subsidiary of Triple IT focusing on
the development of Mobile Video Solutions for both security and broadcast industry.

mDialog Brings Individually-Targeted Ads To Linear And Live TV On Internet Connected Devices
"1 to 1 Addressability" Brings Precision Ad-Targeting to Linear and Live Programming Across Connected Devices
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBC - mDialog (http://www.mdialog.com), the leader in video stream management on connected devices, today announced "1 to 1 addressable advertising" for linear and live-streaming programming. Using mDialog's proprietary Smart Stream Platform(TM), content owners and service providers will be able to target specific advertisements to each individual viewer on devices such as the iPhone, iPad, Android, AppleTV, GoogleTV, Roku, and Xbox.
mDialog's ability to deliver 1 to 1 stream addressability is based on its Smart Stream Platform, a cloud-based technology that manages the entire video stream. Through intelligent stream management, mDialog effectively turns a Multicast IP video stream into a Unicast video experience. This Unicast/Multicast hybrid breakthrough is achieved through mDialog's highly-scalable Linear Stream Manager, which delivers a unique stream manifest to each individual viewer's connected device. By separating the information management of the stream from the multicast delivery of the actual video media, a unicast stream experience is achieved, allowing each individual viewer to receive unique ad breaks and other in-stream events.
Until now, targeting for linear and live programming on IP-connected devices was limited to geo or zone-based delivery, showing the same ad to all users regardless of age, gender, HHI or other factors. With mDialog's Smart Stream platform, content owners and service providers can configure their ad decisioning service to tailor a unique set of ads for each individual viewer, regardless of the number of simultaneous viewers or the number of ad requests, maximizing the value of those ad impressions by reaching only the intended audience.
"Individual targeting is the holy grail for advertisers on both IP-connected devices as well as traditional television," said Greg Philpott, founder and CEO of mDialog. "With 1 to 1 addressable advertising, we're solving a massive scale problem with our video management platform - managing millions of streams and ads simultaneously."
The announcement was made at IBC2012, the premier conference for professionals engaged in the creation, management and delivery of electronic media and entertainment content worldwide taking place September 6 - 11 in Amsterdam. mDialog is located in Hall 14, booth #362 where they are available to discuss 1 to 1 addressable TV commercials on connected devices as well as its new ad routing features, also announced today.
About mDialog
mDialog (http://www.mdialog.com) works with the largest media companies in North America to manage, deliver, and measure video advertising across IP-connected devices, including iPad, iPhone, Android, GoogleTV, Apple TV, Roku and Xbox. The company's Smart Stream platform dynamically delivers in-stream uniquely addressable advertising within linear, live and on-demand programming. Working with mDialog, content and service providers are able to increase the value of their video streams while leveraging their existing encoding, publishing and ad-decisioning investments through Smart Stream Intelligence.

GREEN BAY, Wis., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* plans to roll out 4G LTE in Green Bay by the end of the year, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology and faster mobile Internet speeds.
Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G.Today, smartphones download fastest on AT&T 4G LTE.** Customers will be able to stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before on the latest LTE-compatible smartphones, tablets and devices.
"Green Bay enjoys AT&T's fast 4G speeds*** today as part of the nation's largest 4G network, and our teams will be working hard across the city toward our upcoming 4G LTE launch," said Scott VanderSanden, President of AT&T Wisconsin. "AT&T customers in Green Bay can look forward to even faster speeds this year, on our leading lineup of smartphones, tablets and other devices."
AT&T's 4G Network
AT&T's innovation and investment has resulted in the nation's largest 4G network, covering 275 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. AT&T is the only U.S. service provider to deploy two compatible 4G technologies to deliver more speed to more customers. Our 4G LTE network delivered faster average download speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld's most recent 13-market speed tests.
AT&T's 4G network also delivers multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. Our network's radio components are placed close to the antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the base station, which helps minimize power loss between the base station and antenna and, in turn, improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The network also is designed with its core elements distributed across the country, which helps reduce latency, or the delay when using the Internet, because your request isn't traveling as far.
Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage in 2012 and 2013, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike competitors', where customers fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of 4G LTE coverage.
Over the past five years, AT&T invested more than $115 billion into operations and into acquiring spectrum and other assets that have enhanced our wireless and wired networks. Since 2007, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes."

CREALOGIX Launches New Product for Mobile Authentication of Mobile Banking
ZURICH, September 6, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
CREALOGIX, the leading supplier of comprehensive e-banking solutions in Switzerland,
launched its latest product on 4 September at the CLX.CustomerDay 2012. CLX.MobileSecurity
sets new standards for secure authentication on smartphones and paves the way for new
mobile services.
CLX.MobileSecurity is based on the familiar "two-factor authentication" principle.
This method uses a USB token or smartphone as a second channel and is currently being used
with desktop devices.
As mobile devices and applications become more common, there is increasing demand for
the same standard of security which is available on stationary applications.
CLX.MobileSecurity fulfils this very requirement. The multi-platform solution provided by
CREALOGIX enables barrier-free access via the audio interface or NFC functionality (near
field communication) of the mobile device, without losing any of the required security.
The audio token, which is an integral part of CLX.MobileSecurity, is simple, compact
and - above all - mobile. The token is inserted into the audio port of the mobile device
for identification or to confirm a transaction. A small, integrated LCD screen enables the
additional confirmation of the transaction, making it almost impossible to carry out
fraudulent transactions. The audio token can be used with all smartphones, tablets and
even desktops.
The NFC solution involves authentication using a smartcard, which is simply held up to
the smartphone.
The solution was developed in collaboration with experts at the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology Zurich and in the security industry.
The new CLX.MobileSecurity from CREALOGIX is the efficient and cost-effective solution
to also offer existing two-factor authentication familiar to users for use on mobile
devices and applications.
About CREALOGIX
CREALOGIX E-Banking is a leading supplier for online banking and mobile banking. The
CREALOGIX CLX.E-Banking Software Suite is the most comprehensive and advanced Swiss
e-banking platform for retail and private banks with standard interfaces to common core
bank and processing platforms. CREALOGIX E-Banking AG is a company in the CREALOGIX Group.
The shares of CREALOGIX Holding AG (CLXN) are traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange. In the
2010/2011 financial year, the Group achieved turnover of CHF 52.8 million. It employs
around 250 employees.

More customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices
NEWARK, N.J., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has expanded its 4G LTE network to northern New Jersey, bringing more customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. Today's expansion extends AT&T's 4G LTE network to more consumers and businesses in the region and is part of AT&T's ongoing rollout across the New York City metropolitan area.
AT&T 4G LTE coverage in northern New Jersey now includes parts of Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, Essex, Union and Middlesex Counties from Norwood to the Raritan Bay. This includes the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, and Routes 80, 46, 3, 1 and 9 in these areas.
Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:
-- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet
speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Customers can stream, download,
upload and game faster than ever before.
-- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including
new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets, such as the Motorola ATRIX (TM)
HD, Sony Xperia (TM) ion, HTC One(TM) X, Samsung Focus(®) 2, Nokia
Lumia 900, Samsung Galaxy Note(TM), and Pantech Element(TM) tablet.
-- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the
processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how
long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent
the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming,
two-way video calling and telemedicine.
-- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource,
and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating
more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better
network experience.
"We've seen positive response from customers on our 4G LTE launch, and as today's expansion shows, we're continuing our rollout of fast 4G LTE speeds to more areas of the Garden State," said J. Michael Schweder, president, AT&T Mid-Atlantic.
AT&T's 4G Network
AT&T's innovation and investment has resulted in the nation's largest 4G network, covering 275 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. AT&T is the only U.S. service provider to deploy two compatible 4G technologies to deliver more speed to more customers. Our 4G LTE network delivered faster average download speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld's most recent 13-market speed tests.
AT&T's 4G LTE network delivers speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G** as well as multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. Our network's radio components are placed close to the antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the base station, which helps minimize power loss between the base station and antenna and, in turn, improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The network also is designed with its core elements distributed across the country, which helps reduce latency, or the delay when using the Internet, because your request isn't traveling as far.
Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage in 2012 and 2013, customers can get 4G speeds outside of LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike competitors', where customers fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage. And only AT&T's 4G network lets iPhone 4S download three times faster.
AT&T's focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace additional connection technologies. AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** including more than 30,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers across the country. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.
AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.
Over the past five years, AT&T invested more than $115 billion into operations and into acquiring spectrum and other assets that have enhanced our wireless and wired networks. Since 2007, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes."

Customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices
SYRACUSE, N.Y., Sept., 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has turned on its 4G LTE network in Syracuse, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:
-- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet
speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Customers can stream, download,
upload and game faster than ever before.
-- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including
new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets, such as the Motorola ATRIX (TM)
HD, Sony Xperia (TM) ion, HTC One(TM) X, Samsung Focus(®) 2, Nokia
Lumia 900, Samsung Galaxy Note(TM), and Pantech Element(TM) tablet.
-- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the
processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how
long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent
the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming,
two-way video calling and telemedicine.
-- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource,
and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating
more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better
network experience.
"As mayor, I have worked hard to find ways to attract business to Syracuse," said Syracuse Mayor Stephanie A. Miner. "One of the most successful methods any city can deploy is having strong and modern physical and technical infrastructure to offer businesses. Bringing a service like this to Syracuse can only help grow the investment we are now seeing in our community."
"We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Syracuse responds to what customers want from their mobile experience -- more, faster, on the best devices," said Marissa Shorenstein, AT&T president New York.
"The Syracuse region is fortunate to have a strong communications infrastructure supporting our businesses in a globally competitive environment; now that infrastructure is becoming even more robust," said Robert M. Simpson, president of CenterState CEO, in Syracuse. "We welcome AT&T's investment in the region, deploying its next-generation wireless network, which will support faster communication and use of the latest devices that help businesses stay better connected, more productive and more successful."

AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** including more than 30,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers across the country. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.
AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.
Over the past five years, AT&T invested more than $115 billion into operations and into acquiring spectrum and other assets that have enhanced our wireless and wired networks. Since 2007, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes."

Customers can look forward to even faster mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices
GARY, Ind., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --AT&T* plans to roll out 4G LTE in Gary by the end of the year, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology and faster mobile Internet speeds.
Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Today, smartphones download fastest on AT&T 4G LTE.** Customers will be able to stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before on the latest LTE-compatible smartphones, tablets and devices.
"Gary enjoys AT&T's fast 4G speeds*** today as part of the nation's largest 4G network, and our teams will be working hard across the city toward our upcoming 4G LTE launch," said AT&T Indiana President George S. Fleetwood. "AT&T customers in Gary can look forward to even faster speeds this year, on our leading lineup of smartphones, tablets and other devices."
AT&T's 4G Network
AT&T's innovation and investment has resulted in the nation's largest 4G network, covering 275 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. AT&T is the only U.S. service provider to deploy two compatible 4G technologies to deliver more speed to more customers. Our 4G LTE network delivered faster average download speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld's most recent 13-market speed tests.
AT&T's 4G network also delivers multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. Our network's radio components are placed close to the antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the base station, which helps minimize power loss between the base station and antenna and, in turn, improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The network also is designed with its core elements distributed across the country, which helps reduce latency, or the delay when using the Internet, because your request isn't traveling as far.
Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage in 2012 and 2013, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike competitors', where customers fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of 4G LTE coverage.
