WrightComm, Inc. Announces the May 30, 2011 Launch of the World's Only eCommerce Advertising Network With An "Off-Site" Technology Platform.

MIAMI -- Finally, the True "Double Click" of Mobile Advertising. WrightComm, Inc., a company scheduled to be launched on May 30, 2011, is a web based global broadcasting company, operating the world's only self service advertising network built on a technology platform that assimilates diverse, remote consumer owned Media Devices from around the world into a single advertising network. Through its "patent pending" business method, software and technology platform, the Company uniquely identifies and connects the consumer's personal Media Devices (i.e., smart phones, iPods, iPads, game consoles, Google tv, set top boxes, etc.) into a single network, via the internet. The Company's technology platform then uses the Devices as advertising mediums, making them instantly available to advertisers who are able to uniquely locate and identify the Devices based on the advertiser's target market preferences. Once the Devices are located and identified, the advertiser can upload and program both static and audio/video ads directly to the Devices, utilizing multiple parameters. The Consumer obtains a percentage of the gross revenue generated over his/her Device as a perpetual use licensing fee which is electronically deposited in the Consumer's account for every ad played on the Consumer's Device.

Mr. Isaac Wright, Jr., founder and CEO of WrightComm, Inc., said, "We are proud to be able to say that WrightComm is the only company of its kind in the world--boasting an advertising platform more potent and with more strategic marketing options than any in the world. We are even more proud of the ability to enable the Consumer to generate instant needed cash with their cell phone and other media devices, especially during these difficult economic times. The national and international patent pending protection on our business method, software and technology platform will allow us to compete in the market place without the omnipotent threat of copy cats, pirates and reverse engineer artists. Our developers are working hard on a lot of other exciting and innovative services we will be providing to the advertiser and consumer without cost in the near future."

WrightComm's "off-site" technology platform refers to technology that uses the internet to broadcast and advertise outside the web environment and over remote media devices owned by individual members of the public who are allowed to connect their media device to the WrightComm network free of charge.

The Company's "off-site" technology also allows and enables the advertiser to perform market research, create target markets, conduct surveys, market test their product or services and generate detailed reports on the results, all without cost to the advertiser and all self-service.

The click option enables the Consumer to go on an advertiser's website by clicking on the advertiser's video or static ad while playing on the Media Device. Because the Consumer is actually requesting the ad he/she is clicking on, this technology is akin to Cost Per Click (CPC). In fact, advertisers and Publishers can program ads over cell phones and other remote media devices in such a way that they can differentiate the website's direct sales from those sales generated from the click ads programmed on the WrightComm network.

No other ad network or publisher advertising over cell phones and other remote media devices has been able to achieve this goal and provide it as a service without cost.

Powerwave introduces ultra-broadband LTE and Wi-Fi picocell.(NEW PRODUCTS)

Powerwave Technologies Inc., a provider of end-to-end advanced wireless solutions, announced the new LTE ultrabroadband Powerwave Picocell, which delivers up to 15 times greater overall system capacity at a much lower cost and complexity than adding standard macro cells to address "sore spots" of high data usage or weak signals in wireless networks.

The new picocell is a key component of Powerwave's Inside Out Solutions topology and supports both LTE and Wi-Fi technologies. This powerful all-in-one compact base station enables wireless operators to inject broadband capacity closer to where their customers need it most. This gives each user a better signal and reduces network congestion, resulting in a faster experience and longer battery life. Additional benefits include less zoning approvals and simpler installation.

Because LTE data speeds slow down with congestion and distance from the macro cell, the Powerwave Picocell delivers the fastest possible user experience for mobile devices, including video broadcast, mobile Internet, two-way video conferencing and HD video. In addition, enterprises and government agencies can build out a single infrastructure that enables users to take advantage of data-intensive applications using both LTE and Wi-Fi technologies in a single base station.

"Powerwave's new picocell offers an economical way to build out existing network infrastructure that not only immediately meets today's mobile user needs, but also provides for the future of 4G and beyond," said Khurram Sheikh, chief technical officer of Powerwave. "This product is a cornerstone of Powerwave's Inside Out Solutions, which dramatically boost data throughput at any time for LTE and Wi-Fi systems, both indoors and outdoors, providing an enhanced experience no matter where the user is located.

"Initial deployments of LTE networks have not been built from the inside out," said Peter Jarich, Current Analysis's service director for telecom infrastructure. "Yet, there can be no denying that as operators struggle to provide an impressive user experience, the use of small cells is critical to obtaining solid spectrum reuse and bandwidth per user. It's no surprise, then, that early market predictions for 2011 indicate that small cell architectures will become an integral part of 4G networks."

Key features of the Powerwave LTE Picocell eNodeB include:

- Small, elegant form factor is minimally invasive on the environment and enables fast and smooth deployment in challenging locations, both inside and outside;

- 3GPP Release 8 compliant;

- Powerwave World Radio Transceiver supporting all 4G frequency bands from 700MHz to 2.7GHz;

- Support for 100 simultaneous active users and 1000 registered users;

- Increased aggregate data throughput of nearly 100Mbps and user-plane latency of less than 5 milliseconds;

- Integrated 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz 802.11 Wi-Fi router;

- All-in-one design including antennas, filters, RF, baseband, and control;

- 2x2 MIMO in an elegant, compact design;

- Self Optimized Network (SON), remote provisioning, optimization, monitoring, and maintenance capabilities to reduce total cost of ownership;

- Five times less UL transmit power for connected devices, which extends battery life and reduces cost for both wireless operators and end users.

AT&T Posts Fourth-Quarter Earnings Results.(Financial report)

AT&T Inc. announced it has reported fourth-quarter results.

In a January 28 release, AT&T said its wireless service revenues grew 9.2 percent, driven by subscriber growth and continued rapid adoption of data services. AT&T U-verse subscriber gains topped 1 million for the year. Wireline IP-based services and strategic business products both posted double-digit revenue growth.

Progress in these areas and continued solid execution of cost initiatives offset expected declines in legacy voice and print advertising products. Fourth-quarter revenues totaled $30.9 billion, net income attributable to AT&T was $3.0 billion, diluted earnings per share totaled $0.51 and cash from operating activities totaled $9.0 billion.

"We had a solid 2009 and led the industry in the biggest growth driver - mobile broadband," said Randall Stephenson, AT&T chairman and CEO. "Looking ahead, customer demand for connectivity, particularly mobile broadband and IP data, continues to be strong, and AT&T is well positioned at the center of this growth. Our fundamental outlook for the business is quite positive.

For the quarter ended Dec. 31, AT&T's consolidated revenues totaled $30.9 billion, compared with $31.1 billion in the year-earlier quarter and up slightly from the third quarter of 2009. This marked AT&T's third consecutive quarter with a sequential increase in consolidated revenues.

AT&T's operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 were $26.0 billion versus $26.2 billion in the year-earlier period. Operating income was $4.9 billion, compared with $4.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008, and AT&T's operating income margin was 15.8 percent, the same as in the year-earlier quarter. Net income attributable to AT&T totaled $3.0 billion, compared with $2.4 billion in the year-earlier quarter, and earnings per diluted share totaled $0.51, compared with $0.41 in the fourth quarter of 2008.

In addition to strong operational performance, fourth-quarter 2009 results reflect severance charges related to workforce reductions totaling $330 million, or $0.04 per share, offset by $0.04 of benefits to earnings per share from tax audits and judicial developments. Year-over-year comparisons reflect incremental noncash pension and retiree benefit expenses in the fourth quarter of 2009 of approximately $250 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.

Fourth-quarter 2008 results included a severance charge of $617 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, related to workforce reductions and a charge of $445 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for merger-related trust investment losses. Both quarters' severance charges are primarily reflected in the Other segment of AT&T financial statements.

For the full year 2009, compared with 2008 results, AT&T's consolidated revenues totaled $123.0 billion versus $124.0 billion; operating expenses were $101.5 billion, compared with $101.0 billion; net income attributable to AT&T was $12.5 billion versus $12.9 billion; and earnings per diluted share totaled $2.12, compared with $2.16.

AT&T is a communications holding company. Its subsidiaries and affiliates - AT&T operating companies - are the providers of AT&T services in the United States and around the world. The company is a provider of wireless, Wi-Fi, high speed Internet and voice services.

Citrix, Akamai collaborate [Akamai Technologies].(Company overview)

Byline: Akamai Technologies

Web Application Delivery Powerhouses Form Global Strategic Partnership to Provide End-to-End Application Delivery Solution

Today at Citrix Synergyacents, the event where virtualization, networking and application delivery meet, Citrix Systems, the global leader in application delivery infrastructure, and Akamai Technologies, the leader in powering rich media, dynamic transactions and enterprise applications online, announced an agreement that will make it easier for customers and integration partners to combine each company's web application delivery offerings into integrated solutions that enhance the performance, scalability and security of enterprise web applications. The companies will leverage Citrix's premise-based NetScaler product line and Akamai's cloud-based Web Application Accelerator(SM) service to bring true end-to-end web application delivery to both Internet and enterprise customers worldwide.

As the boundary between "applications" and "content" continues to blur, customers increasingly need a blend of delivery solutions that work together seamlessly to ensure the lowest cost of ownership for IT and a great experience for end users. The increased adoption of interactive Web 2.0 applications coupled with the explosion of rich media content puts even more pressure on existing network and application infrastructures, requiring easy interoperability between premise-based and cloud-based delivery solutions. Enterprises can no longer tolerate a patchwork of solutions from non-aligned IT vendors as they attempt to build an end-to-end infrastructure for delivering these web applications to end users.

"This initiative is strategic for both Akamai and Citrix as it marks the beginning of a close collaboration between two market leaders that will focus on optimizing total cost of ownership and performance experiences for customers via a new class of application delivery controller services," said Mark Templeton, president and chief executive officer of Citrix Systems, Inc. "Optimization of the user experience will happen in the datacenter, at the edge of the network and in the Internet cloud, allowing IT to deliver any application to any user with the best performance, security and cost savings possible."

"Today's enterprise, dependent on the Internet to serve a global audience of customers, partners, and employees, has made optimized application delivery a top priority," said Paul Sagan, president and CEO of Akamai. "Together, Akamai and Citrix solutions create one end-to-end solution that allows customers to maximize their investment quickly while benefitting from faster application performance, greater infrastructure scalability, higher application availability and deeper application security."

Citrix and Akamai are responding to this challenge by working with leading system integrators to bring customers the following benefits: acents Faster Web Application Performance: Delivering a superior user experience by deploying Citrix NetScaler's powerful acceleration capabilities in the datacenter, and by eliminating performance bottlenecks outside the datacenter with Akamai's advanced Internet communications protocol optimizations. acents Greater Infrastructure Scalability: Supporting more applications and more users by offloading expensive processing from web server infrastructure using a combination of optimization, connection management, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption and sophisticated content caching. acents Higher Application Availability: Maintaining superior application availability despite adverse Internet traffic conditions and delays by routing application requests to the most available resource within the datacenter, and across worldwide datacenters. acents Deeper Application Security: Establishing dual-zone application protection by detecting and blocking attacks, such as denial of service (DoS) threats and Structured Query Language (SQL) injection exploits, via a web application firewall, as well as securing in-transit application data.

"This announcement is recognition of the strategic importance of application delivery," said Cindy Borovick, Research Vice President, IDC. "The combined solution will give IT organizations the confidence that they are deploying a solution that addresses the complete spectrum of application delivery requirements, from the data center to the application user."

As part of the collaboration between Citrix and Akamai, the companies intend to establish the following:

acents Citrix-Akamai Partner Assistance Program -- designed to help integrators establish practices to implement the two solutions together at customer sites. The industry can look forward to leading integrators announcing solutions in the coming months. acents Citrix-Akamai Online Community -- designed to help enterprise customers share best practices, experiences and support questions when using Citrix and Akamai web application delivery solutions together. The two companies will also publish a series of best practices deployment guides showing recommended configuration guidelines to achieve the best possible application performance for various scenarios.

Citrix and Akamai are both recognized market leaders in application delivery. Citrix[R] NetScaler[R] web application delivery solutions are purpose-built appliances that accelerate application performance, while simultaneously reducing datacenter costs and improving web application security. The new NetScaler MPX reduces datacenter costs by delivering twice as many web applications with the same infrastructure footprint. Akamai's Web Application Accelerator service speeds the performance of dynamic, interactive web applications by transforming the Internet to offer a high-performing, reliable and secure business platform.
