Waterfall Security Unveils New Unidirectional Gateway Version with Unparalleled Industrial Cyber Security Capabilities

TEL AVIV, Israel, February 22, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Waterfall Security Solutions Ltd., the leading provider of Unidirectional Security
Gateways(TM) announced today the start of shipments of a new generation of its
Unidirectional Gateway products. This release sets a new standard for comprehensive,
unidirectional protection of industrial networks, with innovations in both unidirectional
hardware and security software capabilities.

    The new release incorporates insights from Waterfall's existing installed base in
energy, oil & gas, water and other critical infrastructure segments, from Critical
Infrastructure Protection-related regulatory authorities, and from lessons learned from
recent advanced cyber attacks.

    Waterfall's new WF-400 hardware addresses the top two needs of the unidirectional
security industry: industrial grade, mission critical stability and robustness, and
protection against advanced cyber threats. The WF-400 introduces support for unparalleled
throughput, while maintaining minimal power consumption. The throughput increase provides
customers with an evolutionary path for supporting their current and future needs and
allows industrial customers to take advantage of very high conventional data volumes,
including applications such as advanced remote monitoring and assistance applications. Low
power consumption is important to many industrial and mission critical sites, in meeting
the challenges of their power restricted environments. The new hardware comes with dual
network ports built in, providing native support for high-availability, redundant
configurations which are able to tolerate any single point of hardware failure with no
loss of data.

    A unique feature of the new WF-400 hardware is integrated support for hardware
protocol whitelisting. The hardware can be configured to allow and/or completely disallow
specific communications protocols, including the routable Internet Protocol. This
capability is important in the North American power industry, where the latest NERC-CIP
guidance in the form of CAN-0024, was recently released. CAN-0024 makes it clear that
unidirectional communications equipment which prohibits routable protocols, such as the
Internet Protocol, qualify for certain provisions in the NERC-CIP standards which are not
available to equipment which forwards Internet Protocol messages. The hardware protocol
whitelisting also provides a new layer of protection against the ability of even the most
advanced threats to "phone home" and send any information at all back to Internet-based
command and control centers.

    In addition, new software versions of Watefall's patented unidirectional server
replication solutions provide enhanced support for Linux, and 32 and 64bit Windows
operating systems and special support for hardened operating system versions.

    "Our innovative Unidirectional Gateway technology suite is already deployed and
operational in leading industrial and mission critical sites around the world," said Lior
Frenkel, Co-Founder and CEO of Waterfall Security Solutions, "The development of the suite
reflects Waterfall's close relations with critical infrastructure customers, other
industry leaders and regulatory authorities, which has helped us in defining and designing
a comprehensive platform to meet the most advanced cyber security challenges."

    About Waterfall(R) Security Solutions:

    Waterfall Security Solutions Ltd. is the leading provider of Unidirectional Security
Gateways(TM) and data diodes for control networks, SCADA systems, remote monitoring and
segregated networks. Waterfall Gateways absolutely protect the safety and availability of
critical infrastructure networks from network attacks originating on external networks.
Waterfall's security solutions make it straightforward for utilities and critical
infrastructures achieve compliance with NERC-CIP, NRC, CFATS and other regulations, as
well as with cyber-security best practices. Waterfall's products are deployed in
utilities, critical national infrastructures, mission critical environments and homeland

ResearchMoz: E-Paper Displays: Markets, Forecasts, Technologies 2012-2022 - Market Research Report

NEW YORK, February 22, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    New Report Added in ResearchMoz Reports Database E-Paper Displays: Markets, Forecasts,
Technologies 2012-2022
[http://www.researchmoz.com/e-paper-displays-markets-forecasts-technologies-2012-2022-report.html ]

    Electronic paper technology has found its main application in the development of
e-book readers, a market that has bloomed in recent years with successful devices such as
the Amazon Kindle and the Barns & Noble Nook. The market for e-paper displays will reach
over $8.5 Billion by 2022, as forecasted by IDTechEx.

http://www.researchmoz.com/paper-market.htm

    What the future holds for e-readers remains to be seen. New technologies and devices
are being developed/ launched and there is stiff competition from similar devices such as
tablet computers that can offer consumers alternatives with added functionality. This
highlights the need for new markets to be identified, in order for electronic paper
devices to continue enjoying the growth witnessed in the years since their initial launch.

    The commercial success of the Amazon Kindle e-reader and the lesser yet still quite
substantial uptake of e-book readers such as the iRex iLIad or the SONY PRS family have
sparked up a large interest in e-paper display technologies.

    E-paper displays mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper. Unlike conventional
flat panel displays, it doesn't require a backlight to illuminate its pixels as it
reflects light like paper does and can hold text and images indefinitely without drawing
power. Usually, most versions can also be flexible, thinner and more robust than other
display technologies.

Know Who Will Win With DateRipper?

AMSTERDAM, February 22, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    DateRipper is an app for football connoisseurs. The DateRipper app provides the
biorhythms of all players in the Premier League, Primera Division, Bundesliga, Serie A and
Dutch Eredivisie on the day of the match. An interesting tool for those football fans who
wish to know how their heroes, and the opponents, will perform.

    With the app one can check the upcoming fixtures of the team, the birthdays of all
players and biorhythms of your own choice. The DateRipper app is now available in the
AppStore for iPhone users. One favourite club and the biorhythm programme can be
downloaded free of charge. If you are interested in buying the data of more teams, one
league with all the players of all clubs costs EUR2,39. The app will also be valid during
the coming years, as the transfers, promotion and relegation within the leagues and the
upcoming fixtures will constantly be updated.

    According to the biorhythm theory, human performances are strongly influenced by three
biorhythms: physical, emotional and intellectual. Biorhythms are waves of different
lengths. These cycles start to run on the day of birth, they rise until they are maximum
positive and consequently they come down into the negative section and start to rise
again.

    In the biorhythm theory, the days when the cycle runs from the positive section into
the negative (and the other way round) are highly important. During those critical days
one would, depending on the biorhythm that crosses the horizontal line, be just a little
less strong, balanced or brilliant, compared with the other days of the month.

    All football players in these competitions are well trained and in top condition. They
will not lose the knack of playing football on a critical day. But during a match on a
critical day, they might slightly back out of the game, key players might be less
dominant, defenders less resolute and strikers less accurate. The most remarkable
differences can be observed on physically critical days.

    The biorhythm theory is not unchallenged. But no one will deny that every form of life
is subject to certain rhythms and fluctuations. Just ask the market-gardeners who get
their best result when they sow, prune and harvest considering the position of the moon -
the moon cycle lasts 28 days, just like the emotional biorhythm.

IPA to Bring SXSW Interactive USA to UK's Adland

LONDON, February 22, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    The IPA has launched a new microsite today to capture the news and views of some of
the world's brightest minds in technology during the SXSW Interactive Festival, taking
place 9th-13th March in Austin, Texas. The site is now live and already features blogs
from member agencies attending the event. Fresh content will be posted up daily to provide
those not attending with a synopsis of the most up-to-date innovations in the digital
world.

    For the second year running the IPA will be going to the Festival. Now in its 19th
year it attracts approximately 32,000 people annually, with five days of presentations and
networking events hosted by industry leaders showcasing the best new websites, digital
projects, wireless applications, video games and start up ideas. The IPA will be meeting
up with the 30 member agencies also making the trip, to provide an informal support
network to them, and will host on a daily basis a 'happy hour' from 1700-1800 at the
Hilton Austin Hotel, 500 East 4th Street.

    Many of the agencies attending will be blogging about each day's events on the
microsite. And following the trip Nigel Gwilliam, IPA's Head of Digital and Dwain Thomas,
IPA Digital Consultant will be touring the UK in April and May to give member agencies an
inspirational synopsis of the best things they saw and learnt at the festival.

    Says Dwain Thomas: "With so much amazing content to take in over this five day period,
we've created this microsite to filter the best content from it. By chronicling the
activities and presentations for those back in the UK, as well as encouraging those member
agencies attending to contribute to it, we intend to bring SXSW to your doorstep. This
festival is one of the top concentrations of cutting edge technology in the world and is
part of our commitment to further build our knowledge in the digital sphere."

    Says Jeremy Wilmott, Head of Creative Technology, Weapon 7, in his blog for the
microsite: "It started to occur to me that this conference was becoming a bit of a Mecca
for creative interactive ideas. A body of advertising folk and technologists congregating
on this place from all over the world. And for a brief five days in Texas something always
seems to emerge....It's a chance to get away from London and mull for a bit. To go beyond
advertising and the immediacy of the campaign deadline and be able to wonder at how this
rapidly changing technology landscape is affecting our lives. This will probably happen in
the hours after the conferences. It will be in the bars and social events where this
chatter will be created. Hooking into this hive mind for five days, to live and breathe it
is what I'm most excited about."

'SOS Poison' Smartphone app Rescues Lives

ALMERE, The Netherlands, February 22, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    What do you do if a child has eaten a buttercup? Should you induce vomiting in a child
when it has drunk bleach? Thanks to the Japanese introduction of the SOS Poison app for
the iPhone, the answers to these sorts of question are now always at hand.

    The SOS Poison application for smartphones contains an alphabetic list with 190 toxic
substances. For each substance, there is an instruction on what to do if a child has
ingested it. In addition, the app also contains a list of more than 60 toxic plants. Every
plant has a clear photo next to it, so that users can immediately recognise which plant a
child has eaten. The app also provides advice on ticks, snakes, jellyfish, bees or wasps
and there is a separate chapter with prevention tips and other relevant information.

    "This app is of course intended for parents, but is certainly also useful for
teachers, playschool teachers, sports instructors and others who deal with children," says
the Dutch publisher Don Veldkamp. In order to get a good idea of the SOS Poison app, a
free LITE version is also available which displays a small part of the information.

    The SOS Poison app is a publication by the Dutch foundation Ticket to Prevent. The app
is available in a wide range of languages, including English, German, French, Spanish,
Russian and now also Japanese. In addition to the SOS Poison app, the foundation also
provides a Guide for Grandparents caring for grandchildren, a Burns Guide and a First Aid
Guide.

    "An important advantage of the app is the ease with which knowledge can be adjusted.
We can therefore keep the app up-to-date constantly," says publisher Veldkamp. Once you
have bought the app, you are always offered the latest, state-of-the-art version
automatically and free of charge via the app store. The app is available in a great many
countries and is clearly catching on. A user writes, "This is a really wonderful app. If
you have young children, this is a must."

    The Japanese SOS Poison app can be downloaded upon payment of Yen 450 in the Japanese
Apple iTunes app store.

SpiderCloud Wireless Launches its Breakthrough, In-Building 3G Cellular Network for Enterprises

Vodafone partnered with SpiderCloud to develop a solution that offers businesses enhanced 3G indoor coverage across large office campuses

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SpiderCloud Wireless, a leading provider of in-building, mobile-broadband technology, announced that with the support of Vodafone, it has launched its small-cell wireless system in the United Kingdom.

The enhanced, indoor 3G network is now live in a number of UK-headquartered enterprises.

SpiderCloud's innovative technology--which allows mobile operators to rapidly deliver enhanced cellular coverage and additional network capacity inside buildings, as well as the possibility to deliver "smart" applications via the cloud in the near future -- was incubated inside Vodafone Group's Research and Development division over two years.  As part of this process, Vodafone helped the company assess the commercial need for the solution, provided laboratory facilities and helped run both technical and field trials.

"As more businesses use mobile devices as the primary way for employees to communicate, and these devices consume more and more data, high-speed cellular coverage is business-critical--particularly inside busy office buildings," said Mike Gallagher, SpiderCloud's chief executive officer. "This product provides businesses with an affordable, easy-to-install solution that enables employees to make the most of their mobile devices where ever they may be."

"This innovative solution is designed to enhance indoor coverage for firms that require greater 3G capacity in large office buildings in a simple and affordable way," said Luke Ibbetson, Head of R&D - Network Technology at Vodafone.

SpiderCloud's small-cell system consists of two elements - the SpiderCloud Radio Node (SCRN) and the SpiderCloud Services Node (SCSN). Each SpiderCloud Radio Node is a small, wall or ceiling-mountable 3G base station. A wireless operator then installs radio nodes to provide coverage and capacity inside a building.  All radio nodes in a building connect to an on-premise SpiderCloud Services Node, which securely connects to the operator's core network.

SpiderCloud's self-organizing network technology, and its use of existing Ethernet infrastructure, ensures that SpiderCloud's system can be installed in a large building within days rather than weeks or months. SpiderCloud's support for soft handover between radio nodes ensures that voice calls are not dropped as people walk within a building. Aggregating all the radio nodes at the services nodes optimizes backhaul and provides operators with a single touch-point for control and management.

In addition, SpiderCloud's system enables enterprise users to access applications on company intranets from their mobile device when they are at work.  The services node, if integrated with an enterprise's IT infrastructure, is capable of locally switching 3G data from authorized mobile devices to an enterprise's LAN. Enterprises will also be able to create new applications using a wealth of local intelligence available at the services node - ranging from presence to location and analytics.

About SpiderCloud

SpiderCloud Wireless develops breakthrough, small-cell network platforms that allow carriers to deliver unprecedented cellular coverage, capacity and smart applications to enterprises. SpiderCloud is based in Santa Clara, Calif. and is backed by investors Charles River Ventures, Matrix Partners, Opus Capital and Shasta Ventures.

Delta operates the world's largest Wi-Fi-equipped fleet of aircraft and by this summer more than 800 Delta aircraft, including more than 250 two-class regional jets, will be equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi service. More than 550 mainline aircraft are already Wi-Fi-equipped.

When Wi-Fi installations on regional jets are complete, more than 400,000 Delta customers on more than 3,000 daily flights will have in-flight connectivity on a fleet that already makes up nearly half of the world's Wi-Fi-equipped aircraft.

"Wi-Fi offers travelers the flexibility and tools to stay connected at 30,000 feet, enabling them to send email or finish a presentation before they reach their destination," said Gail Grimmett, Delta's senior vice president - New York. "We are thrilled that Wi-Fi is now available to our Delta Shuttle customers as it's a perfect complement to other Shuttle amenities including free morning coffee and newspapers." 

Delta was named last month as the "Top Tech-Friendly U.S. Airline" by PCWorld magazine for its airport recharging stations, in-flight Wi-Fi on more domestic flights than any other carrier and smartphone apps with innovative features such as baggage tracking and airport check-in. The magazine also highlighted Delta's 24-hour customer service via Twitter from @DeltaAssist, as well as the ability to book tickets directly from Facebook.

Delta also offers Delta Connect, its in-flight Wi-Fi portal, for access to real-time travel information, free news content from The Wall Street Journal and People magazine, exclusive shopping deals and entertainment options.

Delta's Wi-Fi investments are the latest in the airline's previously announced plan to spend $2 billion improving its products, services and facilities. As part of that goal, Delta is participating in a $1.2 billion project to expand Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport to create a modern overseas gateway. When completed in spring 2013, the terminal will feature nine new gates, a state-of-the-art baggage screening system and one of the largest Delta Sky Clubs in the system. Delta also will spend more than $100 million to renovate Terminals C and D at LaGuardia after it takes over certain landing rights there from US Airways next month. Delta will add 100 new flights and 28 new destinations to become the leading carrier in New York by mid-July.

Armanino Consulting Expands Microsoft Dynamics CRM Practice

SAN RAMON, Calif., Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Armanino McKenna LLP (http://www.amllp.com), the largest accounting and business consulting firm based in California, announced it has merged in Gateway Solutions, Inc., a value-added reseller of Microsoft Dynamics Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software solutions based in Portland, Oregon. The merger, effective today, expands and strengthens Armanino McKenna's growing CRM consulting practice.

CRM is a software solution that gives sales, marketing and customer support organizations greater control over their ability to acquire, manage and service their customers. Gateway Solutions is one of the most successful West Coast Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution providers, supporting clients in a number of industries including high technology manufacturing, financial services, wholesale distribution and professional services. The firm helps companies drive sales growth through implementation and training for Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

The merger takes Armanino Consulting "to the next level in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM space" notes Tom Mescall, partner-in-charge of Consulting. He adds that while Armanino Consulting has long been recognized for its expertise in enterprise resource planning, finance support and business process improvement, it is quickly emerging as a powerful front-end provider in CRM, business intelligence, and other client-facing solutions.

"Our consulting practice is focused on providing end-to-end business technology solutions for our clients that help them anticipate trends, opportunities and challenges," he says. "The more we can bring leading business technology solutions to our clients and integrate them, the more competitive our clients will be in their markets."   

All Gateway Solutions employees have joined Armanino Consulting's CRM practice, making the merger seamless for Gateway clients, who will experience no changes in processes, contacts or support. Gateway's headquarters in Portland will become an office of Armanino McKenna, adding to the firm's geographic expansion in the Pacific Northwest.

Gateway Solutions President Larry Betz joins Armanino Consulting as Managing Director, CRM.  He says Gateway clients will benefit from the depth of experience and intellectual resources at Armanino Consulting.

"Armanino McKenna is a brain trust that our clients will appreciate," he says. "We're excited to join one of Microsoft's biggest U.S. partners."

He says the consulting practice will focus on implementation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM because the product is "secure, customizable, scalable and affordable." Betz adds that a unique benefit of Dynamics CRM is that it is fully-integrated with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Office. "This is really exciting for clients that use Outlook because they don't have to learn a new interface."

"Our CRM practice has added significant depth and talent with this merger," says Scott Mangelson, CRM practice leader for Armanino Consulting. "Our clients can count on us to deliver leading CRM solutions that are fully integrated with their back office Enterprise Resource Planning applications and that leverage information across their enterprises via smartphones, tablet devices and desktops."

Mangelson adds that in addition to senior sales and marketing decision makers, the CFO organization will also value the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform because it creates greater process efficiencies while supporting revenue growth.

SmartSource Announces Launch of Free Digital Coupon Application for iPad: SmartSource Xpress New Application Will Be Available March 2012

NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- News America Marketing, the premier publisher of coupons in the U.S. and Canada, producing over 165 billion coupons annually, today announced the launch of their free iPad couponing application, SmartSource Xpress, which will be available starting in March, 2012.

News America Marketing (NAM), a division of News Corporation (NASDAQ: NWS), operates the popular online consumer coupon site SmartSource.com and publishes the Sunday coupon insert SmartSource Magazine to over 74 million homes almost every week.  The company's new SmartSource Xpress application will give shoppers the ability to easily find and digitally "clip" coupons for products from a wide number of popular household names including: Agave in the Raw(®), Bertolli Olive Oil(®), Brisk(®) Iced Tea, Campbell Soup Company, Colgate-Palmolive, Comet(®), Domino(®) and C&H(®) Sugar, Energizer(®) brand batteries and flashlights, Hartz Mountain pet products, Hormel(®) branded products, Just for Men(®), Mariani(®)Premium Dried Fruit, Kraft Foods, Ortega(®), Rubbermaid, Schwan's(®) Frozen Pizza, Sea-Bond(®), Skinny Water(®), Stevia in the Raw(®), Sweet'N Low(®), and Vagisil(®). The savings can be sent to consumers' registered shopper cards with a tap of the screen and then automatically redeemed using Direct2Card(TM) (D2C) technology at participating store checkouts.

SmartSource Xpress uses direct-to-card paperless coupon technology that electronically links coupon discounts to consumers' frequent-shopper cards.  This system utilizes SmartSource's national D2C retailer network that includes many of the country's biggest grocery retailers.  A single 'tap' on a SmartSource Xpress offer sends the discount to the consumer's registered shopper cards and will be waiting for the consumer at the checkout of their favorite participating retail outlet.

"This is the most exciting product launch in our company's history," said Chris Mixson, President, News America Marketing.  "We have a commitment to the consumer to offer savings wherever most convenient, and the launch of SmartSource Xpress is the most recent example of that commitment.  Not only will SmartSource Xpress save the consumer money, we strongly believe that we are delivering those savings in a simple and elegant fashion."

"Consumers lives have never been more on the go and shoppers are relying more and more on their mobile devices to help them navigate through their daily tasks," said Henri Lellouche, SVP, SmartSource iGroup.  "SmartSource Xpress is a tool that will help shoppers plan their shopping trips, save them money on the products they use every day from their favorite brands, and make it easy and fun to find and redeem these savings."

SmartSource Xpress coupons will be accepted through the SmartSource D2C retailer network, which is approaching 4000 stores and is expected by News America to expand dramatically over the coming year.

In addition to coupons, brands will be able to present innovative promotions within their offers that will 'bring to life' the previously printed medium. These new features include the ability to show short promotional or instructional videos and to offer free product trial samples, recipes, and other promotional content.  The application's coupons and enriched elements will be refreshed with new offers weekly.

"SmartSource Xpress is just the first of an innovative array of new mobile and digital applications News America Marketing has planned that will bring couponing to a whole new generation of savers," said Mixson.

SmartSource Xpress will be free to all consumers to download through the iTunes App Store.

News America Marketing(®), a division of News Corporation, is the premier single-source provider of consumer marketing services in the U.S. and Canada. The company's product portfolio, marketed under the SmartSource® brand name, consists of the first branded free-standing insert, known as SmartSource Magazine®, popular online consumer coupon site SmartSource.com, various in-store marketing products, merchandising services, database marketing tools and online promotions.

Connection in an Instant: Customers to Trial Enhanced Push To Talk Services from AT&T

Charter Program Will Allow Participants to Experience Communications on a New Level

DALLAS, Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's fast-paced business world, every second counts. Communication must happen in a flash to keep an organization moving. And to help meet this need for speed, AT&T* is launching a charter program to trial a suite of enhanced push to talk (PTT) services that will take workgroup communications to the next level.

The enhanced PTT solution trial, powered by Kodiak Networks Inc. InstaPoC(TM) technology, will harness AT&T's mobile broadband speeds, expansive wireless network coverage, broad portfolio of devices and the power of IP-based technology. That means faster and richer collaboration, lower cost of ownership and great potential for integration with mobile applications.

In addition, AT&T is working to integrate traditional private mobile radio (PMR) systems with this enhanced PTT service trial, and will demonstrate the functionality with Raytheon JPS at the 2012 International Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE). AT&T and Raytheon expect that push to talk interoperability across different networks will extend coverage of existing PMR systems and facilitate better communications for field dispatch and operations, when many people from many different organizations need to reach each other quickly.

Charter Program Details

    --  Selected business customers in a range of industries - transportation,
        utilities, manufacturing and more - will get a first look at potential
        PTT services through AT&T's charter program.
    --  Participants will use powerful, state of the art smartphones to test the
        technology.
    --  The charter program will provide AT&T and customers with a better
        understanding of the potential that the enhanced PTT service can offer.
    --  AT&T will work closely with customers participating in the program to
        measure results, and participants will have the opportunity to give
        feedback on their experiences.
Imagine how a field worker could benefit from enhanced PTT. Instead of lugging around a bag with a clipboard, a cell phone and a mobile radio, workers could carry one mobile device, complete with mobile apps and AT&T's PTT services. If an employee has a question while on the job, he or she could connect almost instantly to a supervisor - and even fill out forms on a mobile app while talking. A dispatcher could also reference PTT presence status to locate field workers quickly and assign the right employee to the task at hand.

"AT&T - with its fast LTE network, rugged device portfolio, business know-how and open approach to application development - is well-positioned to develop enhanced PTT services," said Andrew Seybold, CEO & Principal Consultant, Andrew Seybold, Inc., a consultancy focused on cellular and private mobile radio industries.

"Our customers are looking for a holistic PTT service - one that supports instant calls, numerous devices, dispatch applications and Application Programming Interfaces for developers," said Chris Hill, Vice President, Advanced Mobility Solutions, AT&T Business Solutions. "Our goal is to meet and exceed those expectations. What's more, we want to combine enhanced PTT services with an array of advanced mobility applications to build truly comprehensive solutions."

AT&T's mobility application consultants can also help charter customers craft their strategies for migration from legacy networks that are currently being phased out to AT&T's anticipated high-performance solution.

Sneak Peak into AT&T's Enhanced PTT Offer

AT&T's enhanced push to talk service charter program features:

    --  A combination of high-performance PTT communications and mobile data
        services that allow users to talk and use productivity applications
        simultaneously
    --  Large contact lists and groups, ideal for organizations with lots of
        mobile employees
    --  Faster call setup times than traditional PTT solutions
    --  Integration with business applications for field force automation, fleet
        management, dispatching, GPS tracking and more
    --  Ability to run on a wide range of smartphones, rugged phones, feature
        phones and specialty devices
    --  Interoperability with existing mobile radio systems, such as Land Mobile
        Radio (LMR) and Private Mobile Radio (PMR)

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Scintera Networks, Inc., a leading provider of mixed signal semiconductors for wireless communications, today announced that Scintera's RF Power Amplifier Linearization (RFPAL) technology has been selected for use in wireless infrastructure systems as part of Korea Telecom's (KT) deployment of 4G LTE services.

Scintera's SC1889 and SC1887 products are being deployed by KT in its latest 3G and 4G infrastructure RF remote radio units.  These radio units are used to provide new 4G LTE services while maintaining support for existing 3G systems.   Scintera's technology enabled KT's suppliers to rapidly develop power efficient and cost effective radio units while meeting their stringent performance and quality requirements.  These systems will allow KT to quickly deploy its LTE network and expand coverage for subscribers throughout Korea.

"We are pleased to be incorporated in the initial rollout of KT's LTE network," said Davin Lee, chief executive officer of Scintera.

Varonis Announces a New Solution for Mastering Big Data

NEW YORK, February 21, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    The Varonis(R) solution enables visibility, intelligence and control over the
information stored within file shares and HP IBRIX X9000 Storage Systems

    Varonis Systems Inc [http://www.varonis.com ]., the leading provider of comprehensive
data governance software, today announced a solution with Varonis DatAdvantage,
DataPrivilege and IDU Classification Framework and HP IBRIX X9000 Storage Systems.
Customers now have access to Varonis data governance software automation and advanced
modular HP IBRIX X9000 storage infrastructure. The pairing enables comprehensive
visibility into user and group information from directory services, detailed data usage
audit trails, actionable intelligence about where sensitive data resides, safe removal of
excessive permissions, and data owner identification within a best-in-class scale-out NAS
infrastructure to support explosive data growth.

    "With 80 percent of enterprise data unstructured (IDC) and residing in shared folders
on file servers and NAS devices, it's never been more of an imperative for organizations
to have visibility and control over who has access to their critical data, who's using
their access, who owns the data and which data is sensitive," said David Gibson, Director
of Strategy for Varonis. "The Varonis solution paired with HP IBRIX gives organizations
the ability to identify their critical information and take immediate action to protect it
while reducing the resources required to manage it."

    Data governance solutions like DatAdvantage(R) and metadata frameworks such as the
Varonis(R) Metadata Framework
[http://www.varonis.com/products/data-classification-framework ](TM) are a cost-effective
way for organizations to better manage and protect their unstructured data by providing
actionable intelligence on access controls, content, and access activity. Organizations
can employ this metadata information to support IT initiatives such as entitlement
reviews, compliance audits, data ownership identification, records management, domain and
data migrations, consolidations, archiving and retention projects.

    To see the Varonis and HP IBRIX solution in action, join Varonis on February 29 for a
live demo and webinar: "Become a NAS Genius" which will show attendees how to automate
data owner discovery, access control, and real-time auditing with the integrated solution
from Varonis and HP. The live webinar will feature Gibson and Ray Pang, HP Worldwide NAS
Product Line Marketing Manager, who will discuss best practices for:

   
    - Gaining visibility into your permissions (set in Active Directory(R),
      LDAP, SharePoint(R) and Exchange);
    - Obtaining a detailed audit trail of every file and e-mail touch on your
      servers;
    - Receiving recommendations to reduce access permissions without affecting user
      activity;
    - Identifying data owners so they can be directly involved in the management and
      protection of their data;
    - Getting sensitive content analysis so you can assess risk to your most
      critical data, allowing you to focus on high-priority areas for remediation.

    Register for the webinar at http://go.varonis.com/l/7352/2012-02-16/5wqjw

    ABOUT THE VARONIS(R) METADATA FRAMEWORK(TM)

    Four types of metadata are critical for data governance:

   
    - User and Group Information - from Active Directory, LDAP, NIS, SharePoint,
      etc.
    - Permissions and File System Information - knowing who can access what data in
      which containers
    - Access Activity - knowing which users do access what data, when and what
      they've done
    - Sensitive Content Indicators - knowing which files contain items of
      sensitivity and importance, and where they reside

    The Varonis Metadata Framework(TM) non-intrusively collects this critical metadata,
generates metadata where existing metadata is lacking (e.g. its file system filters and
content inspection technologies), preprocesses it, normalizes it, analyzes it, stores it,
and presents it to IT administrators in an interactive, dynamic interface.

    ABOUT VARONIS SYSTEMS

    Varonis is the leader in unstructured and semi-structured data governance for file
systems, SharePoint and NAS devices, and Exchange servers. Named a "Cool Vendor" in Risk
Management and Compliance by Gartner and voted one of the "Fast 50 Reader Favorites" on
FastCompany.com, Varonis has more than 4,500 installations worldwide. Based on patented

LONGBOW LLC Delivers First Production Block III Apache Data Link System to the U.S. Army

ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The LONGBOW Limited Liability Company, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC), recently delivered the first production Unmanned Aerial Systems Tactical Common Data Link Assembly (UTA) to the U.S. Army for the Apache Block III helicopter.

"The delivery of the first Apache Block III UAS [Unmanned Aircraft Systems] control system, called the UTA, marks the next major capability advancement for the Apache, which continues to be the deciding factor on the battlefield," said Lt. Col. Dan Bailey, U.S. Army Apache Block III product manager.  "When fielded, the UTA capability will significantly enhance the game-changing perspective of the Apache."

This delivery follows the successful completion of the LONGBOW UTA system design and development phase.  Low-rate initial production is currently underway to equip the first U.S. Army Apache Block III helicopters with this capability.

"The delivery of the first UTA system to the U.S. Army is the successful culmination of a nearly six-year design and development program," said Mike Taylor, LONGBOW LLC president and director of LONGBOW programs in Lockheed Martin's Missiles and Fire Control business.  "The UTA provides Apache aircrews with increased situational awareness and net-centric interoperability significantly reducing sensor-to-shooter timelines."

LONGBOW UTA is a two-way, high-bandwidth data link for the Apache that enables aircrews to control the sensor and flight path of Unmanned Aircraft Systems.  UTA-equipped Apache aircrews can operate a UAS at long range and receive real-time, high-definition streaming video on their multi-function displays.  The new Block III Radar Electronics Unit enhances the LONGBOW Fire Control Radar system performance while reducing size, weight, maintenance and power requirements.  The UTA will be fielded on the Apache Block III aircraft beginning in 2012.

Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in aerospace, electronics, information systems, and technical services to government and commercial customers worldwide.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 123,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services.

HOPKINTON, Mass., Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Full Story:

EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) announced today that the following six channel leaders across EMC and its RSA Security Division have been named 2012 Channel Chiefs by CRN for their commitment to accelerating partner profitability and overall success in 2011:

    --  Gregg Ambulos, EMC Senior Vice President of Global Channel Sales
    --  Leonard Iventosch, EMC Vice President of Americas Channel Sales
    --  Fred Kohout, EMC Vice President of Global Channel Marketing
    --  Bill Taylor, RSA Vice President of Global Channels and Alliances
    --  Shawn Pearson, RSA Senior Director of Americas Channel Sales
    --  Joseph Gabriel, RSA Director of Global Channel Marketing
This recognition is the latest in a series of channel-related accolades EMC received for its dedication to its Velocity Partners during the last year. In 2011 five EMC executives were named to CRN's Top Channel Executives List, the EMC® VNXe® unified storage solution won CRN's 2011 "Tech Innovator" award in the storage category and CRN's 2011 "Storage Product of the Year," and EMC was named CRN's "Company of the Year" in three ARC award categories: SMB Network Storage, Enterprise Network Storage and Backup & Recovery Software.

Under the leadership of these executives in 2011, EMC and RSA have completely transformed their partner programs while focusing on what's most critical to partner success - technology leadership, partner profitability, ease of doing business, service delivery, and support.

In 2011 EMC:

    --  Continued its commitment to accelerating its Velocity(TM) partners'
        profitability by giving them access to industry leading channel-only
        products with the most competitive pricing, along with easy and
        efficient marketing and training resources to help them compete and earn
        business.
    --  Announced the simple, efficient and affordable EMC VNXe series of

        Storage (NAS) solutions in the SMB market.
    --  Announced the EMC Data Domain® DD160 deduplication storage system for
        small enterprise data centers and remote offices, also sold exclusively
        through the channel.
    --  To help partners be more competitive, EMC extended its discount
        structure to include a broader range of EMC technology and solutions
        including its backup and recovery and unified storage offerings,
        introduced Partner Central and its new partner relationship management
        tool that is designed to help partners and EMC work more effectively
        together.
    --  Launched channel-only marketing campaigns that are accessible through
        the EMC Velocity Partner Marketing Guide.
In 2011 RSA:

    --  Introduced the RSA® SecurWorld(TM) Authorized Services Network (ASN)
        Program and provided its partners with the ability to certify them in an
        RSA solution. This "seal of approval" from RSA helps customers recognize
        best-of-breed service delivery from the partner community, while helping
        partners differentiate themselves in a competitive market.
    --  Integrated RSA NetWitness® and RSA Archer® solutions and partners into
        the SecurWorld program providing partners with the ability to become
        certified in delivering services in the burgeoning areas of continuous
        monitoring and Governance, Risk and Compliance.
    --  Introduced the channel-ready RSA Authentication Manager Express, a
        powerful risk-based authentication solution optimized for small- to
        mid-sized organizations.
For the ninth consecutive year, Channel Chiefs were selected by the CRN editorial team based on channel experience, program innovations, channel-driven revenue, and public support for the importance of IT Channel Sales.

EMC and RSA Executive Quotes

Gregg Ambulos, EMC Senior Vice President of Global Channel Sales

"On behalf of all EMC and RSA honorees, we are truly grateful to be recognized as CRN's 2012 Channel Chiefs. 2011 was a transformational, record breaking year for EMC and our channel partners. We introduced highly innovative, channel-only products and enhanced the EMC Velocity Solution Provider Program to make it easier for partners to become more competitive while penetrating and better serving new and existing markets. Last year more than 1,700 partners began selling EMC products for the first time, and revenue from these new partners accounted for almost half our channel revenue growth in 2011. With the combination of the broadest channel-minded product portfolio in the industry and a partner program that rewards partners who are trained to position, sell, and service EMC products, we expect even greater things to come for EMC and our partners in 2012."

Bill Taylor, RSA Vice President of Global Channels and Alliances

"2011 was a game-changing year for RSA and all of its partners. We continued to provide our partners with security products and solutions that not only solve customer challenges, but drive profitability and services for our partners.  We continued our successful Partner Council meetings around the world and in doing so met with hundreds of partners.  We used their feedback to drive our channel strategy and program enhancements, including all the changes we made to the RSA SecurWorld partner program for 2012. RSA and its partners are very well positioned to provide trusted IT solutions and services to customers that depend on a trusted digital world to innovate and compete in the marketplace."

Supporting Quote

Kelley Damore, Vice President and Editorial Director, UBM Channel
