***IronPort Systems Updates Bonded Sender Anti-Spam Program
(October 13)

IronPort Systems, along with TRUSTe, an Internet privacy seal
program, announced today the next generation of the Bonded Sender
Program, a solution for identifying legitimate email. After
twelve months of testing, the second major release of the Bonded
Sender Program, which includes TRUSTe certification, oversight,
and dispute resolution services, is now available. The Bonded
Sender Program now reaches in excess of 60 million mailboxes
spanning more than 12,000 ISPs. IronPort Systems also announced
today that its Bonded Sender Program will be used to implement
Project Lumos, a blueprint for the eradication of spam designed
and published by the Email Service Provider Coalition (ESPC).

Bonded Sender

As spammers evolve their content to look like legitimate mail,
spam filters are increasingly challenged to keep pace. One
undesirable by-product of spam filtering is "false positives" -
the accidental blocking of legitimate messages. The Bonded
Sender Program allows legitimate senders of mail to avoid being
blocked by overly aggressive spam filters by allowing senders to
identify themselves, adhering to standards and posting a
financial bond. When consumer complaints about mail received from
a Sender's IP address exceed a predetermined threshold, the bond
is debited.

TRUSTe's oversight is intended to give ISPs and email receivers
an added level of confidence that legitimate senders will be held
to consistent standards, and are protected against the risk of
fraudulent complaints. TRUSTe and IronPort Systems have
developed and published a set of email standards for the Bonded
Sender Program. New senders who meet these high standards can now
apply for Bonded Sender status, and post a financial bond based
on mail volume. Qualified senders will be certified and admitted
to the program, enabling them to receive enhanced delivery at
thousands of ISPs.

Project Lumos

IronPort System's Bonded Sender Program, the largest whitelisting
service on the Internet, supported by TRUSTe certification,
oversight, and dispute resolution, will be used to make delivery
of the first Project Lumos registry. The registry will enable
email gateways to identify legitimate high-volume mailers and
hold them accountable for their email marketing practices.
IronPort Systems stated that their support marks a strong
commitment to solving the spam problem by making it increasingly
difficult for spammers to hide deceptive and fraudulent
practices.

Project Lumos is a proposed registry designed to help Internet
Service Providers curb the ever-mounting threat of spam while
maintaining the efficacy of legitimate email marketing. Project
Lumos makes it impossible for high-volume mailers to "hide" their
identities by implementing true sender accountability. It is
based upon the concept that only by certifying legitimate mailers
that spammers can be effectively blocked. Project Lumos would
require senders to fully disclose and verify their identity and
practices, thereby ensuring that legitimate email - mail sent by
" real" companies, and that users have opted-in to receive, gets
through while spam does not.

The Email Service Provider Coalition (ESPC) was formed in
November 2002 by the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) to
fight spam while protecting the delivery of legitimate email. The
ESPC is comprised of over 37 members including aQuantive, Blue
Dolphin, Digital Impact, DoubleClick, Experian, GotMarketing,
IMN, and Roving Software. The flagship initiative, Project Lumos,
is an industry proposal for a registry-based solution to the spam
problem.

TRUSTe is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to
enabling individuals and organizations to establish trusting
relationships based on respect for personal identity and
information in the evolving networked world.

***Lucent Technologies to Trial 3G W-CDMA Network in Miami With
AT&T Wireless
(October 13)

Lucent Technologies today announced that it is working with AT&T
Wireless to deploy a third-generation (3G) W-CDMA (Wideband Code
Division Multiple Access) trial network in the greater Miami
area, to evaluate mobile voice and high-speed data services.
Lucent already has achieved several milestones in the project --
its first 3G W-CDMA deployment in North America -- including the
completion of a series of voice and data calls on the network.

Lucent is supplying AT&T Wireless with an end-to-end mobile
network based on 3G W-CDMA technology, also known as Universal
Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). The network will
incorporate Lucent's Flexent OneBTS base stations and core packet
networking solution -- which includes the Lucent Softswitch and
data networking platforms from Cisco Systems, Inc., including the
Cisco Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) and MGX 8000 Series Media
Gateways.

Lucent also is supplying AT&T Wireless with W-CDMA wireless PC
modem cards, which support data connections on laptops, PDAs and
other mobile devices.

Lucent believes that 3G W-CDMA will enable people to download
video clips of films, sporting and entertainment events; send and
receive e-mail on the go; locate nearby services such as ATMs,
restaurants or theaters; and enable businesses to provide
employees with high-speed mobile access to their corporate
networks and business applications they normally use in the
office.

The W-CDMA network will operate in AT&T Wireless' 1900 MHz
spectrum, and will be based on an Internet Protocol (IP)
architecture.

While this is the first trial in North America, Lucent has
additional 3G W-CDMA/UMTS pilot network deployments underway in
Europe. Lucent has deployed more than 80,000 spread-spectrum base
stations for mobile operators worldwide. Spread-spectrum
technology is the basis for 3G W-CDMA (UMTS) and CDMA2000

***Motorola Announces New Small Mobile Device Architecture
(October 22)

Motorola, Inc.'s Semiconductor Products Sector today announced
its new Mobile Extreme Convergence (MXC) architecture, which it
claimed would revolutionize the development of multi-media mobile
devices. The company believes that the new architecture will
remove many of the current design limitations of mobile devices.
By redesigning the mobile architecture to combine functions,
Motorola believes mobile devices can be developed affordably on a
platform the size of a postage stamp. Today's smallest
approaches are about the size of a business card.

MXC is designed to significantly reduce the materials and
development effort required, enabling original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) developers to deliver mobile devices less
expensively and more rapidly than before. The MXC's small
footprint, performance, and flexibility are designed to allow
developers to use a single platform to target multiple product
designs, currently delivered through as many as 300-400
components. This would facilitate the creation of many
permutations of devices based on one central core of the design.

Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector has combined an array of
knowledge and design expertise to produce this new architecture.
The MXC architecture:

- Converges the hardware needed to drive call processing
technology and applications processing technology with a shared
memory system;

- Separates the communication function software to provide a
clean application development environment for deployment of
features across tiers, allowing developers to write once and port
their applications to other devices, using a consistent
processing core;

- Utilizes hardware acceleration and memory caching techniques to
cut power consumption;

- Secures airborne transactions and provides on-board security by
incorporating Motorola's security technology; and

- Enables a "system-in-a-postage-stamp"-size module, to be
integrated into existing device footprints. When fully
implemented, the architecture is expected to deliver a fully
equipped "smartphone" platform in a 16 x 20 x 1.4 millimeter
package, enabling many products, such as an MP3 player, a
handheld DVD player, or a digital camera, to become a fully
functioned "smart mobile device."

The first chips using the MXC architecture are expected to sample
in the second half of 2004.

***Interactive Intelligence Launches Software-Based IP Telephony
Product Line
(October 21)

Interactive Intelligence Inc. launched a new all-software version
of its IP telephony product line last week that uses Intel
NetStructure Host Media Processing (HMP) 1.1 software to
eliminate the need for voice processing boards.

The upgraded product line - which includes Enterprise Interaction
Center (EIC), Customer Interaction Center (CIC) and Communite,
all leveraging the standards-based Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP) - was designed to reduce costs, simplify installation and
maintenance, and reduce deployment time.

HMP 1.1 software uses Intel architecture processors rather than
specialized Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) to provide call
processing functions such as playing prompts, recording messages,
and conferencing multiple calls together.

A Windows 2000 server with HMP and Interactive Intelligence's EIC
software can act as an IP PBX for up to 250 IP phones. With
Interactive Intelligence's higher-end CIC software, such a server
can provide contact centers of up to 30 agents with IP-based
multimedia applications, including automatic call distribution,
skills-based routing, e-mail routing, and more.

The company's unified communications software, Communite, is also
offered with HMP, giving distributed organizations and those with
mobile workers IP-based productivity applications, such as
unified messaging, call screening, recording, presence
management, find-me/follow-me, and rules-based call handling. By
using multiple servers, each running HMP and Communite,
Interactive Intelligence stated that an N+1 all-software solution
can scale up to hundreds of thousands of users.

Customers can use a SIP-compliant gateway or IP voice trunks with
the software, along with their choice of any SIP-compliant phone
from vendors such as Cisco and Polycom. Interactive Intelligence
also provides software that turns any computer running Microsoft
Windows Messenger into a soft phone. Station-side gateways would
enable customers to continue to use analog phones as well. The
software also supports a range of options including speech
recognition, Web collaboration, multi-site connectivity, CRM
integration, and more.

The all-software version of Interactive Intelligence's IP
telephony product line is available throughout the U.S. and can
be purchased through Interactive Intelligence's network of more
than 140 value-added resellers.

Interactive Intelligence Inc. is a developer of software for IP
telephony, contact center automation and unified communications.
The company was founded in 1994 and has more than 1,000 customers
worldwide.

VDSL chipset is denser, consumes less power, and is aggressively
priced compared to existing VDSL and ADSL solutions.

Service providers deploying VDSLPlus can offer scalable DSL
services ranging from short-range applications, at data rates of
up to 200 Mbps, to long-reach applications that allow for data
delivery at distances of 4 km using the same line card and
Customer Premise Equipment (CPE).

VDSLPlus is spectral compatible with all VDSL standards' band
plans (998, 997, and those defined by the Chinese CTSI).
Metalink's VDSLPlus products are also compliant with existing, 4-
