(NASDAQ: AIRN), a leading provider of broadband wireless access networks, publicized today the availability of the industry's most complete FCC and Rural Utilities Service (RUS) certified lineup of fixed and mobile WiMAX Base Stations and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) for the U.S. rural market. This announcement follows the just-signed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that has placed significant emphasis on rural broadband. RUS approval is obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, affirming Rural Development acceptance and "Buy American" status of equipment.

Airspan is among a select few WiMAX equipment manufacturers with this coveted "Buy America" status.

"Airspan has been recognized by leading WiMAX industry analysts as the market leader in rural America," said Declan Byrne, Airspan's Chief Marketing Officer. "Following the recent legislation, many of our existing customers are positioning our WiMAX equipment to the grant and loan-making authorities of the Departments of Commerce and Agriculture.

In addition, we are working to bring together an industry-leading consortium of operators, systems integrators and grant-writing and loan-application partners to assist rural operators in attaining funds from the stimulus legislation, and to deploy broadband networks in a targeted and timely manner." Airspan has been serving rural America for several years already, with broadband wireless equipment deployed in 43 states. Airspan is currently providing equipment to the largest 3.65 GHz rural network in the country being deployed by FairPoint Communications in New England.

Airspan has RUS approved and FCC certified products ready to deploy to help rural residents and businesses get connected. Supporting bandwidth-intensive services such as high-speed Internet access, Internet telephony (VoIP) and video streaming, Airspan's WiMAX solutions allow for an easy, quick and affordable deployment of a broadband network.

"Wireless broadband is an ideal technology for rural America," commented Declan Byrne. "Whereas other technologies such as cable and DSL require digging trenches and laying down cables to reach these remote areas, which can be very costly and time consuming, WiMAX base stations can be easily set up to service a rural and dispersed subscriber base with immediate connectivity. We are aligned with the stimulus bill's broadband intentions of reaching rural and underserved Americans quickly with quality connectivity." "Broadband for the rural market will be a key focus in the next 12-18 months, and WiMAX in 3.65 GHz will be a leading technology choice due to the recent deregulation of the frequency and the economic characteristics of WiMAX," said Emmy Johnson, Founder & Principal Analyst of Sky Light Research. "Equipment vendors that have successfully demonstrated their ability to provide a strong wireless product offering will benefit the most. Sky Light's quarterly market share research, in conjunction with Synergy Research Group, shows that the 3.65 GHz WiMAX market demonstrated triple digit growth in the first nine months of 2008, with Airspan leading the market at more than 30 percent share." Earlier this week 650 mainly rural television broadcasters decided to move ahead with the transition from analog signals to digital signals despite a government approved delay. "We are encouraged by this decision, made by approximately one third of the total 700 MHz broadcasters, which will allow our current customers who hold this valuable spectrum to quickly deploy our WiMAX equipment in this band," continued Declan Byrne.

J.J. Stutler, CEO of Stutler Technologies, a Kansas-based wireless integrator, added, "Airspan has been a valuable partner for Stutler in the last few years and we have made great progress in reaching rural America. The stimulus package reserves $7.2 Billion for rural broadband, all of which must be allocated by September 2010. We believe WiMAX is one of the only technologies that can reasonably and cost-effectively reach the dispersed and low-density population areas targeted by this bill. We are looking forward to assisting current and future customers with this growth." Airspan joined the Organization for the Promotion and Advancement of Small Telecommunications Companies (OPASTCO) recently. OPASTCO is a group of hundreds of independent carriers providing voice and data services in rural areas that are often expensive to serve due to difficult terrain and low population density. These innovative service providers use a variety of technologies, including WiMAX, to extend broadband to customers in hard to reach communities.

Airspan successfully passed FCC compliance tests for its 1.4 GHz solution earlier this week. "This continues to underscore Airspan's unique and complete offering of WiMAX solutions. Airspan now has solutions for 700 MHz, 1.4-1.5, 3.65, 4.9, 5.4, and 5.8 GHz frequency bands, and is the only WiMAX vendor covering all of these bands," added Byrne. "We have welcomed the tremendous customer response for our solutions and urge interested local exchange carriers to contact us via our North American sales offices. The legislation's intent to rapidly distribute broadband assistance is evident and Airspan is ideally positioned to bring operators the necessary spectrum, certified equipment, deployment partners and grant-writing expertise in a timely and successful manner." Operators seeking to deploy wireless broadband in rural United States should contact Airspan at 561.893.8687 or email [email protected].

Feb 19, 2009 -- Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVL) announces it acquired the technology assets of Fortefi Ltd., a provider of compliance and privileged user management solutions. Novell also acquired a perpetual source code license to ActivIdentity's industry-leading single sign-on solution, SecureLogin, which had been previously available to customers through an OEM agreement as Novell(R) SecureLogin. The two deals cement Novell's leadership position in bringing together identity, access and security management technologies to help customers reduce cost, complexity and risk while proving compliance with industry regulations.

"We're excited about adding Fortefi's privileged user management solutions to our portfolio and bringing SecureLogin technology, development and support in-house," said Jim Ebzery, senior vice president and general manager of Identity and Security at Novell. "With these two moves, we continue our evolution to become the 'category-killer' for identity and security management. Customers can come to Novell as a one-stop-shop for all of their identity and security needs - whether they are seeking a point solution or a complete platform. Our best-of-breed approach is both modular and integrated, to let customers address their specific problems with the flexibility to expand to the rest of their enterprise." License Agreement Overview - ActivIdentity Corporation Novell SecureLogin is the industry's leading solution for enterprise single sign-on. Since 2001, Novell has delivered Novell SecureLogin via an OEM agreement with ActivIdentity. Novell acquired a perpetual source code license to the ActivIdentity code and can fully manage the future development and road map for Novell SecureLogin. This will allow for better integration of SecureLogin into Novell's portfolio of identity management solutions and faster additions of Novell customer requirements into future generations of the product.

Novell is positioned in the leaders quadrant of Gartner, Inc.'s, "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Single Sign-On" by Gregg Kreizman, Sept. 18, 2008. According to Gartner, "Enterprises continue to make tactical investments in ESSO to resolve the problem of users having too many passwords, with no relief in sight for the next two to three years." Enterprise Single Sign-on (ESSO) enables a user to access all permitted computers and systems without the need to enter multiple passwords.

ESSO reduces human error and helpdesk requests but is difficult to implement because most applications and systems support different password mechanisms.

Novell SecureLogin is part of Novell Identity and Access Management solutions, the industry's leading solutions to automate business processes, mitigate security risks and lay the foundation for complying with internal security mandates and government regulations.

Novell licensed the SecureLogin source code for an undisclosed sum using current cash. SecureLogin will be fully integrated into Novell's identity and security business unit.

Technology Acquisition Overview - Fortefi Ltd.

Using the technology acquired from Fortefi, Novell plans to introduce Novell Privileged User Manager in the second quarter of 2009. Novell Privileged User Manager is built on two Fortefi products, Command Control and Compliance Auditor, and provides granular access control and auditing of "super" or "root" users across multiple systems. Novell Privileged User Manager limits exposure to unauthorized activity and information access by helping customers rapidly enable or disable administrator-level users across both UNIX* and Linux*. This acquisition also expands Novell's focus on UNIX to Linux migration by offering customers a single tool for managing superuser access while they migrate to SUSE(R) Linux Enterprise.

Industry regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI DSS, HIPAA and others call for better control of user access to sensitive information.

Despite these requirements, many organizations share superuser, or root account credentials among multiple users, increasing the likelihood of a security breach from inside the organization. Privileged user management mitigates these types of potential security risks by governing privileged users' access and passwords to an organization's information and systems.

"Poorly managed superuser privileges leave enterprises exposed to security breaches and regulatory rebuke, which may result in business losses and financial penalties," notes Gartner, Inc. in Best Practices for Managing Superuser Privileges, Ant Allan, et. al., November 2008.

"Smart enterprises will oblige system administrators to use SUPM tools, rather than being permanently assigned superuser privileges." Novell Privileged User Manager will become part of Novell Compliance Management solutions, the industry's leading solutions to automatically enforce security and access-related policies, making it easy to prove compliance and ensure trusted access.

Novell acquired the technology assets from Fortefi Corporation for an undisclosed sum using current cash. These technologies will be fully integrated into the Novell identity and security business unit.

About Novell Novell, Inc. delivers the best engineered, most interoperable Linux platform and a portfolio of integrated IT management software that helps customers around the world reduce cost, complexity and risk. With our infrastructure software and ecosystem of partnerships, Novell harmoniously integrates mixed IT environments, allowing people and technology to work as one.

Feb 19, 2009 -- Onstream Media Corporation (NASDAQ: ONSM), a leading online service provider of live and on-demand digital media communications and applications, today provided a recap of the Company's conference call held on February 18, 2009. Fiscal year 2009 first quarter financial results and recent financial and business developments, including the launch of Streaming Publisher, as well as the outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year and the proposed Narrowstep acquisition, were discussed on the conference call.

Business and product development highlights of the management-led presentation included the following: -- Onstream introduced and launched Streaming Publisher, its latest upgrade to the DMSP platform, during February. Streaming Publisher is designed to provide enhanced capabilities for advanced users such as publishers, media companies and other content developers. The new Streaming Publisher upgrade to the DMSP directly addresses the developing online video advertising market and includes features such as automated transcoding (the ability to convert media files into multiple file formats), player gallery (the ability to create various video players), as well as advanced permissioning, detailed usage reports, security and syndication features. Users of the basic Store and Stream version of the DMSP may easily upgrade to the Streaming Publisher version for a higher monthly fee.

-- Onstream is currently negotiating the merger agreement with Narrowstep and once this is complete, the Company will file the revised documents with the SEC. Management anticipates a Narrowstep closing in the second or early third quarter of fiscal 2009 and the Company will issue a press release once this is complete, describing the revised terms and conditions and providing an update on the assets being acquired.

-- For the first six weeks of the second quarter average revenue per day for the Company's Infinite Conferencing division is exceeding $32,800 and if that trend continues, based on a 61 business day quarter, total revenue from Infinite should exceed $2 million, an approximately $250,000 increase over results for the first fiscal quarter.

Randy Selman, Onstream's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Positive cash flow should be attainable in the current or next fiscal quarter.

For the year, we expect sales and gross margin, in terms of dollars, to be higher for this year as a whole compared to fiscal 2008. We expect SG&A costs to increase for fiscal 2009 versus 2008 but at a lesser percentage rate than sales and margins for the year as a whole, excluding the impact of goodwill impairment."

Feb 19, 2009 -- Universal Detection Technology (OTCBB: UNDT), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats and provider of counter-terrorism consulting and training services, issued an analysis of the funds allocated to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as part of President Obama's $787 Billion Stimulus Plan. The DHS is set to receive a $2.8 billion budget boost as part of the plan.

The largest single item is $1 billion for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for technologies and tasks, including checked baggage explosive detection systems. These are generally systems that use X-rays and digital three-dimensional scanning. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) also will receive $420 million to help pay for construction and renovation of land border ports of entry. Many of those border entry and exit points are being expanded and reconfigured in part to make room for sophisticated scanners and identification checking equipment.

The bill also directs $300 million into state and local grant programs for port security, rail security, and mass transit security. A large chunk of that grant money is likely to pay for IT-related systems, such as access control, camera monitoring, perimeter alarm systems, underwater surveillance and tunnel surveillance systems.

"We have been closely monitoring President Obama's Stimulus plan and we are prepared to take advantage of the opportunities it offers for companies in the Homeland Security sector," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's Chief Executive Officer.

About Universal Detection Technology Universal Detection Technology is a developer of monitoring technologies, including bioterrorism detection devices. The Company on its own and with development partners is positioned to capitalize on opportunities related to Homeland Security. For example, the Company, in cooperation with NASA, has developed a bacterial spore detector that detects certain biohazard substances. The Company is also a reseller of handheld assays used for detection of five bioterrorism agents, radiation detection systems, and antimicrobial products.

Feb 19, 2009 -- Vital Products, Inc. (OTCBB: VTLP), a multichannel innovator in the industrial packaging sector, announced today that it has signed an agreement to market a paper packaging system.

Vital Products Chief Executive Officer, Michael Levine remarked, "Paper packaging has been a staple in the industrial packaging market for many years. Machines today produce different profiles of scrunched or crumpled paper, but in the end they all perform a similar function." Mr. Levine further commented, "This new agreement gives us access to a new green technology that stands alone in the market. Quite frankly there is nothing available, or in fact similar to the product that we will be marketing. The system produces a superior kraft paper product that simulates a moldable nest, yet remains price competitive with other paper products, giving us the advantage of performance and range of use." About Vital Products, Inc.

Vital Products, Inc. is a distributor of industrial packaging products.

The company plans to identify and invest in emerging market segments in the industrial packaging sector as well as research and develop products it can patent and license in the environmentally sustainable packaging markets.
