2/23/2005 12:06:57 PM
MALVERN, Pa., Feb 23, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- USA Technologies, Inc. (USTT) today announced the successful integration with Blackboard Inc. (BBBB), a leading provider of transaction processing systems to colleges and universities throughout America, of technologies to allow students to use the Blackboard Transaction System(TM) cards to activate and pay for using USA Technologies' e-Suds(TM) electronic online laundry services on campus. The first installation of e-Suds integrated with Blackboard was installed earlier this year at Goucher College in Baltimore Maryland.
"Students who took part in the Goucher College program enjoyed the convenience and simplicity of being able to use their Blackboard Transaction card to have the cost of doing their laundry deducted online directly from their Blackboard account," said Wendy Jenkins, Vice president of Marketing, USA Technologies. "The relationship with Blackboard gives USA Technologies access to more than 450 universities, colleges and corporate accounts, and tens of thousands of users."
Students already use the Blackboard Transaction System to make payments at the cafeteria, bookstore, and even at neighboring retailers and restaurants. Now they use the same card to pay for laundry and receive all of the amenities for the e-Suds system including being able to see availability of washer and dryers online and get notified via email when their laundry cycles are complete.
"We believe the e-Suds is a terrific enhancement to our laundry service and plan to bring this to many of our partner schools," said John Gregory, President of Caldwell and Gregory, Inc.

CIRT - CirTran Corp. Awarded Record $22 Million Contract to Manufacture Sold-on-TV Product for Advanced Beauty Solutions
February 23, 2005 08:30:00 (ET)
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb 23, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CirTran Corp. (OTC BB: CIRT), an international full-service contract manufacturer of IT, consumer and consumer electronics products, announced today that it has been awarded the largest contract in its history.
Iehab J. Hawatmeh, CirTran's founder, president and CEO, said the contract signed with Advanced Beauty Solutions, LLC, of Los Angeles, is expected to generate $22 million in revenue over the next 12 to 14 months. CirTran, he said, will be the exclusive manufacturer of the "True Ceramic Pro - Flat Iron Traveling Kit," a popular consumer electronics product sold nationwide on TV via infomercials.
Hawatmeh said the $22 million contract was "by far the largest ever for CirTran.
"The start of 2005 has been very exciting for CirTran," he said, noting that last month the company announced another major consumer electronics manufacturing contract (see "CirTran Cuts the Mustard with $1.8 Million Contract to Manufacture the New Sold-on-TV 'Hot Dog Express,'" Business Wire, Jan. 24), after previously announcing that it anticipates reporting substantial growth when it files its 10-KSB with the SEC in March (see "CirTran Sites New Consumer Manufacturing Business for 'Dramatic Increases' in Q4 and 2004 Year-end Results," Business Wire, Jan. 14).
To Be Manufactured by CirTran-Asia
The True Ceramic Pro - Flat Iron Traveling Kit, which includes the "True Ceramic Pro - Infra Red Ionic Styler" to straighten naturally curly hair, will be manufactured in China by CirTran-Asia, the wholly owned, ShenZhen-based subsidiary of CirTran Corp.
"Our strategy to build high-volume consumer and consumer electronics products in Asia to complement our core IT component manufacturing business in the U.S is continuing to pay off," said Hawatmeh. In the second half of fiscal 2004, ending Dec. 31, he said, some two-thirds of CirTran's revenues came from its Asian subsidiary while its U.S.-based business grew as well.
"Winning this contract from Advanced Beauty Solutions, a very successful consumer electronics marketing company, is a major feather in CirTran's cap," said Trevor M. Saliba, the company's executive vice president for worldwide business development. "It significantly raises our revenue projections for 2005, and should put CirTran in a highly favorable position with potential customers, particularly those with higher-volume, lower-margin products usually manufactured off shore."

PWAV - Powerwave Wins First Scandinavian UMTS-TDD Contract from Wireless Broadband Supplier ATENIT
Contract will Facilitate Microwave Delivery in the Nordic, Baltic and Eastern European Areas
2/16/2005 2:40:00 PM
CANNES, France, Feb 16, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Powerwave Technologies Inc. (PWAV), a leading supplier of end-to-end wireless infrastructure solutions, today announced the Powerwave Microwave Group has been awarded a contract from ATENIT Communication AB in Sweden.
Under the contract, Powerwave is named as the exclusive supplier of Ethernet microwave communication solutions to ATENIT, which will be used in Scandinavia's first commercial UMTS-TDD communications network, as well as additional networks in Europe.
Specifically, the agreement is expected to facilitate microwave delivery in the Nordic, Baltic and Eastern European areas, where ATENIT plans to build licensed TDD networks.
"I felt most comfortable with choosing the well-proven and recommended Powerwave Microwave solution that offers a unique technical and commercial package offering the lowest risk and smoothest rollout of our networks. My IP engineers felt best at home with the Powerwave solutions," said Hakan Ortenholm, managing director for ATENIT Communication AB.
Powerwave was selected over other major microwave suppliers, in part due to its strong seamless IP/Ethernet microwave solution.
"This deal demonstrates Powerwave's strong capabilities in software-based microwave solutions starting from an IP/Ethernet approach, instead of more traditional ITU/Telecom solutions," stated Leo F.J. de Meere, vice president of sales at Powerwave's Microwave Group.
UMTS-TDD Mobile Broadband technology, also known as TD-CDMA, is a packet data implementation of the international 3GPP Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) standard. Unlike WCDMA which uses FDD (Frequency Division), UMTS-TDD uses Time-Division-Duplexing (TDD) and is designed to work in a single unpaired frequency band. The technology enables high speed, low latency to provide broadband and other packet services to users at home, at work, or on the road.
One of the significant benefits of using TDD is that TDD supports variable asymmetry, meaning an operator can dictate how much capacity is allocated to downlink versus uplink. As the traffic patterns for data typically favor the downlink, this results in better use of spectrum assets and higher efficiency for network operators.
Powerwave is a member of the Global UMTS-TDD Alliance (www.umtstdd.org). Created and supported by the community of UMTS-TDD operators, service providers, and vendors around the world, the Global UMTS-TDD Alliance's goal is to provide a forum for members to share their knowledge and experience with each other and with the public, set requirements for future solutions, and foster the market environment for solutions based on the UMTS-TDD standard.
About ATENIT Communication AB
ATENIT is a Swedish network operator with a focus on development and deployment of wireless broadband access networks, using advanced radio planning and leading-edge techniques and technology. ATENIT leverages technology solutions from leading manufacturers. ATENIT uses its know-how and advantage for a rapid rollout of wireless broadband networks across Northern, Central and Eastern Europe in cooperation with leading telecommunication and Internet service providers.

NMKT - NewMarket Technology Inc. Releases Letter to Shareholders on 2005 Plans for $75 Million in Revenue, $10 Million in Dividends and Future Acquisitions
CEO Details Organic Growth and Impending Defense Technology Systems Transaction; Second Shareholder Letter Tomorrow on More 2005 Plans
2/14/2005 11:22:00 AM
DALLAS, Feb 14, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NewMarket Technology Inc. (NMKT) today released a letter to shareholders providing detail on the Company's unique business model and plans to grow from $25 million in revenue in 2004 to $75 million in revenue in 2005. The letter also includes detail on the Company's plans to declare an estimated $10 million in dividends in 2005. The CEO explains how the Company's business model and dividend plan stand to establish NewMarket as a recognized leader in the emerging technology market. The letter is included in its entirety in this release.
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
We are midway through the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The Company is approaching the first of several significant events scheduled this year that we believe will establish NewMarket as a recognized leader in the emerging technology market. The Company is building a new category of emerging technology business and this letter to shareholders is intended as part of our overall plan to keep shareholders abreast of our efforts to construct a new and as of yet uncategorized business model.
The term "recognized leader" should not be considered lightly. With a market capitalization value of $50 million, NewMarket plans this year to issue an estimated $10 million worth of dividends to shareholders representing 20 percent of the Company's total market capitalization. It is unlikely that any other company currently listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board Exchange (OTCBB) will issue any dividends that equal a similar percentage of the issuing company's market capitalization or for that matter, such dividend examples will be far and few between on any exchange. It is NewMarket's unique dividend strategy that management believes will establish the Company as a recognized leader in the emerging technology market.
Again, the first significant event enabling the first of three or more dividends to be issued this year will take place later this week. Defense Technology Systems Inc. (DFTS) will meet with NewMarket this week in Dallas to finalize the previously announced transaction between the two companies (more detail included below) This event will be a major benchmark in the history of NewMarket resulting from a plan initiated over three years ago and executed upon vigorously throughout the last three years.
NewMarket has forecasted dramatic revenue growth to $75 million in 2005 from $25 million in 2004. In addition, we are forecasting $10 million in dividends. NewMarket will continue to acquire new companies as it has over the past two years. The Company will also continue to strengthen its foundation through expanding cash reserves and graduating to a more regulated exchange where more institutional investors will discover NewMarket. This letter is to communicate in detail, as it applies to our uncategorized business model, on our organic sales efforts, expected dividends and ongoing acquisition plans. In a second Shareholder Letter to be released tomorrow, Tuesday February 15th, we will address the additional company initiatives that will build our foundation, such as our recent American Stock Exchange (Amex) application.
Business Model
The NewMarket business model is really a simple concept, though much work has gone into establishing the basic core of the business model and bringing the company to the pending dividend benchmark event. NewMarket is a publicly listed Company for two reasons: capital formation and shareholder liquidity. NewMarket acquires entrepreneurial emerging technology companies and makes modest investments in the acquired companies by gaining access to capital through NewMarket's publicly listed security. NewMarket then spins the now more mature emerging technology company into a separate publicly listed micro cap company and distributes equity in the new stand alone company to all of the shareholders of NewMarket by issuing a shareholder dividend.
Over the last two years, NewMarket has acquired equity interests, most as a majority interest, in eight entrepreneurial emerging technology companies. The combination of NewMarket's Homeland Security emerging technology subsidiary with DFTS will be the first spin-off and dividend where shareholders have the opportunity to receive equity in a standalone, independent publicly listed company. NewMarket will continue to acquire, assist in building and then spin-off emerging technology companies.
Organic Growth Forecast
NewMarket succeeds in establishing initial emerging technology sales by introducing emerging technologies through previously established and trusted vendor relationships. In addition, to investing in and grooming promising emerging technology companies, NewMarket maintains a traditional technology services business which provides the company with recurring revenue. NewMarket is a certified partner with Microsoft (MSFT), Cisco Systems (CSCO), and Sun Microsystems (SUNW). With these credentials, NewMarket is expanding its traditional technology service sales to correspondingly expand its ability to introduce more emerging technology products to market.
While the traditional technology service business is becoming more competitive everyday, resulting in increasing pressure on profits, NewMarket's business model actually enables increased profits. By combining the traditional technology service business with the emerging technology value-added, not only are the higher profits from the emerging technology products blended in for improved net profits, an entirely new income line is added to the overall business -- equity income through equity dividend spin-offs.
With each spin-off, NewMarket will declare a shareholder dividend and issue equity in the new publicly listed company to shareholders. Likewise, the Company itself will have the ability to monetize the equity in the spin-offs that is retained on the balance sheet and add equity income to the traditional technology service sales and emerging technology product sales. When practical, NewMarket plans to retain a 51% or greater ownership in the spin-offs in order to be able to consolidate the financials of the new company into NewMarket's financial results.
In 2003 and 2004, NewMarket established a traditional technology service customer base through merger and acquisition. NewMarket will continue to geographically expand its customer base through merger and acquisition, but the vast majority of revenue growth will come from the organic expansion of the acquired customer base and exploiting the cross-selling opportunities identified going forward. NewMarket expects the revenue growth from the $25 million in 2004 to $75 million in 2005 to come largely from an increase in traditional technology service sales as well as an increase in emerging technology product sales.
Equity Dividends to Shareholders in 2005
The first anticipated dividend resulting from the culmination of NewMarket's business model introduced three years ago will come from the previously announced transaction to combine NewMarket's Homeland Security subsidiary with DFTS. NewMarket and DFTS meet this week in Dallas to finalize the transaction which will include the distribution of an estimated 10 million DFTS shares to NewMarket shareholders.
NewMarket is currently in negotiations that will result in similar dividends to NewMarket shareholders both later this year and into 2006. A second spin-off and dividend announcement can be anticipated before the end of the First Quarter 2005. The Company anticipates issuing up to three equity dividends in 2005 totaling an estimated $10 million in dividend value.
Ongoing Acquisitions
Today, NewMarket is concentrating on emerging technologies in three primary industry segments -- Telecommunications, Healthcare and Homeland Security. NewMarket will continue to pursue acquisitions in all three of these segments for the foreseeable future. NewMarket has also recently announced expanding into the Financial Services segment. Shareholders can anticipate a first acquisition in the Financial Services arena prior to the end of the Second Quarter 2005. Furthermore, NewMarket will continue to geographically expand its traditional technology service business through ongoing acquisitions. Shareholders can look for an announcement of an acquisition in South Latin America by the end of First Quarter or early Second Quarter.
NewMarket will continue to form capital through its public security for investment in new acquisitions. As the Company has expanded dramatically over the last year, the quality of capital available to the Company has likewise improved. Shareholders can anticipate a strategic investment announcement within the next few weeks intended to drive the acquisition campaign outlined above. The Company is embarking on developing capital formation directly into NewMarket's portfolio of emerging technology companies. Once NewMarket establishes a spin-off and equity dividend track record, we anticipate improved opportunities to access investment directly into portfolio emerging technology companies intended for eventual spin-off. Such ability to form capital with multiple securities is expected to dramatically accelerate NewMarket's ability to increase revenue growth and dividend issuance.
Management at NewMarket is excited by the planned course of events in 2005 and in particular, the pending DFTS transaction. We believe the closing of the DFTS transaction will gain notable recognition in the emerging technology industry and establish NewMarket as the company to watch as one of the most promising prospects for revitalizing the emerging technology marketplace. With one to two more similar spin-offs and equity dividend transactions, we believe that NewMarket be well on its way to achieving recognized leader status.
Best Regards,
Philip Verges
CEO and Chairman

NewMarket's strategy to aggressively grow a substantial base of recurring revenue is focused on - selectively outsource specific core technology functions. Outsourcing contracts - include terms to introduce next generation technology solutions from NewMarket's portfolio of emerging proprietary technologies. Outsourcing contracts will be multi-year agreements that include a next generation technology migration schedule. NewMarket has - established a sales pipeline in excess of $100 million dollars to date. NewMarket's 2005 revenue forecast is a profitable $75 million.
"The reason NewMarket will succeed as an emerging technology company is that we are also a core technology service company," said Philip Verges, CEO of NewMarket Technology Inc. "It is unrealistic to think to our clients would consider flipping a switch to turn off a legacy technology and overnight turn on one of NewMarket's proprietary emerging technology products. Accordingly, we have approached our technology clients with a competitive core technology service offering augmented with a plan to migrate that core technology onto a next generation platform. Consider Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, as an example. VoIP is a superior communication technology in comparison to the Public Switched Telephony Network or PSTN. However, existing PSTN solutions include equipment investment and multi-year service contracts. No corporation could afford to walk away from equipment investment or endure the financial penalties associated with breaking multi year contracts. NewMarket's approach is to immediately provide operational efficiencies through outsourcing a corporation's telecommunications functions and include a plan to migrate that function onto a next generation VoIP platform as the legacy equipment is depreciated and PSTN contracts expire."
About NewMarket Technology, Inc. (www.newmarkettechnology.com)
In 2002, NewMarket launched a business plan to continuously introduce emerging communication technologies to market. The plan included a financing model for early technologies and an approach to creating economies of scale through a specialized service and support organization intended specifically for the emerging technology industry. The Company posted six consecutive profitable quarters through 2003 and established an annualized $15 million in revenue. In 2004, the Company diversified its communications technology offering into the healthcare and homeland security industries with the respective acquisitions of Medical Office Software Inc. and Digital Computer Integration Corp (DCI). The Company has expanded sales into Asia, Latin America and Canada through the acquisitions of Infotel Technologies in Singapore, RKM IT Solutions of Caracas, Venezuela, and Logicorp respectively.

LMRA - Lumera Announces Exclusive Licensing Agreement to Capitalize on Growing Commercial Nano-Based Biochip Market
1/25/2005 1:02:02 PM
BOTHELL, Wash., Jan 25, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Lumera Corp. (LMRA) announced it has acquired the exclusive rights to Helix Biopharma's (HBP.TO) Heterodimer Protein Technology (HPT). The technology moves Lumera closer to launching a unique product set aimed to capitalize on the multi-billion dollar proteomic array market.
"When combined with Lumera's existing NanoCapture(TM) Array (NCA) technology, the HPT surface chemistry allows us to bring a new level of value to researchers and scientists concerned with protein research," said Lumera Chief Executive Officer Tom Mino. "The acquisition of this technology showcases Lumera's core competency of bringing important intellectual property to the commercial marketplace, and in this instance, could revolutionize the biochip industry by making protein arrays a reality."
The combination of the Helix HPT technology and Lumera's proprietary nanosurface modification chemistry will, for the first time, allow researchers to consistently take existing DNA arrays to produce protein arrays that accurately mimic the native living cell environment of the body.
This capability could have a significant impact on the diagnostic capabilities of researchers. By enabling researchers to evaluate, with more clarity and accuracy, the impact of various proteins on living cells there may be significant time and cost improvements to many important elements of commercial research including drug screening and toxicology testing.
"We can now produce and capture proteins on a silicon chip surface while keeping proteins fully functional," said Lumera Chief Technology Officer Robert Petcavich. "Combining HPT selective capture chemistry with our chip manufacturing and surface chemistries provides a biologically compatible surface perfectly suited for printing DNA or proteins. Already, we have produced prototype NCA's and carried out enzymatic, binding and proteomic studies with outstanding results."
Lumera will target drug screening, toxicity, protein-protein interaction pathways and selected diagnostic applications. Lumera plans to begin shipping product based on the technology in 2005.
Lumera has become a nanotechnology market leader by developing proprietary technologies and by licensing and commercializing technology products based on exclusive intellectual property. Previously, Lumera has announced exclusive licensing agreements with the University of Washington and Arizona Microsystems.
About Lumera
Lumera is an emerging leader in the field of nanotechnology. The company designs proprietary molecular structures and polymer compounds for a broad range of electro-optic, RF and specialty coating applications. The company also has developed proprietary processes for fabricating such devices. For more information, please visit http://www.lumera.com/.
Certain statements contained in this release are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the company's forward-looking statements include the following: market acceptance of our technologies and products; our ability to obtain financing; our financial and technical resources relative to those of our competitors; our ability to keep up with rapid technological change; government regulation of our technologies; our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights and protect our proprietary technologies; the ability to obtain additional contract awards and to develop partnership opportunities; the timing of commercial product launches; the ability to achieve key technical milestones in key products; and other risk factors identified from time to time in the company's SEC reports, including in its Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

ICOA news -- Wi-Fi Leader ICOA Announces Record 2004 Revenue; Projects Significant 2005 Growth
1/20/2005 10:30:18 AM
WARWICK, R.I., Jan 20, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- ICOA, Inc. (ICOA), a leading provider of neutral-host wireless broadband Internet networks and managed services in airports, restaurants, marinas and hot zones, today announced revenue of $1,170,719 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Complete results will be released when the company files its Form 10-KSB.
For the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004, the company generated revenue of $392,106, an increase of 179.4% versus $218,546 for the comparable quarter a year earlier and 12% higher than management's projection at the end of Q3 04. The company's FY2004 revenue was 360.5% higher than FY2003 revenue of $324,789.
"In late 2003, ICOA made the strategic decision to enter and compete nationally in the emerging broadband wireless market. We believed then and even more so now that this sector presents a unique opportunity to leverage our strengths to generate revenue, profitability and shareholder value. ICOA's record growth and revenue generation throughout 2004 are the result of this strategic decision," said ICOA Chairman and CEO George Strouthopoulos.
Since then, he noted, "ICOA has:
* acquired assets which form the foundation of a major national broadband wireless provider,
* begun to build an experienced and seasoned management team,
* significantly expanded our national footprint, and
* significantly grown our revenues and moved toward profitability."
Strouthopoulos said, "Over the last year, ICOA's national deployed service footprint has grown considerably. We currently provide service in 43 states, with over 900 owned or operated high-traffic public locations under our network coverage. We don't know of any wireless services company in the country that serves more marinas and more amenity-model locations, not to mention our rapidly growing airport footprint, hundreds of managed public access points (RV parks, camp grounds, hotels) and a growing network of hot zones under contract with ICOA."
Looking forward to a robust 2005, ICOA President Rick Schiffmann said, "The past twelve months shows a track record of execution we are proud of and establishes the foundation for our next phase of growth. From here, management is basing our performance on a trajectory of growth benchmarked to $7 million in annualized revenue by year end and considerably more in twenty-four months.
"Today, ICOA is an emerging national leader in Wi-Fi networks and services. Our footprint for retail services is targeted at high-traffic and high-value locations, with wireless capability supplemented by our kiosk expertise. We provide cost-effective networks for the rapidly growing amenity services segment. We provide high-quality and reliable support systems and services for both our own operations and as a full-service back-office for other service providers," continued Schiffmann.
"Tomorrow, through both organic growth and acquisitions, ICOA is seeking to secure the critical scale points across our integrated design-deploy- operate business model. As emerging technologies allow, ICOA is looking to expand into the delivery of digital value-added services -- including VOIP and location-specific applications -- to deliver value to our customers and users and robust financial returns to our shareholders. While today ICOA is focused on Wi-Fi, our models and approach are technology-agnostic. We work with numerous technologies as economies of scale, market penetration and device propagation permit or demand. For example, we also are keeping a close eye on future opportunities with Wi-Max and cellular 3G networks. We will adjust our focus and our assets over time, as advancements and markets warrant.
"Our acquisitions over the last twelve months -- QGo, ANS, iDockUSA and AuthDirect -- have helped us create a new nationally competitive company delivering a full-value chain of broadband wireless services. In addition to their attractive core valuations, these acquisitions have contributed to scale and scope economies which we believe will continue to strengthen our margins and provide a basis for similar leveraging of future acquisitions," continued Schiffmann.
"We have grown through acquisition and look to continue to do so. In 2005, we are looking to acquire promising Wi-Fi services companies 1) in market segments targeted for growth and profitability or 2) with unique infrastructure capabilities. We are focusing on leading companies with management strength, available at attractive valuations, which maximize intrinsic value per share," continued Schiffmann.
"Looking forward, we believe that the broadband wireless industry is entering a consolidation phase, for which ICOA is well positioned. Active discussions are already under way with companies which, if the deals are successfully closed, would add over $4 million in annualized revenues by the end of 2005, as well as adding to our long-term earnings per share," Schiffmann said.
"In conclusion," said Strouthopoulos, "ICOA's 2004 accomplishments are attracting opportunities for acquisitions and organic growth, as well as for strengthening our finances and management team to enable ICOA to become a nationally competitive broadband services provider. As the company continues to grow, we will implement a planned and orderly management transition as we look to build the operational, financial and governance infrastructure capable of taking ICOA to over $50 million in annual revenues."

DLGI news ... DataLogic International Introduces New IP Voice Gateway VG800
1/13/2005 1:00:14 PM
IRVINE, Calif., Jan 13, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- DataLogic International, Inc., (DLGI) a technology and professional services company providing a wide range of consulting services and telecommunications products such as VoIP equipment and GPS vehicle tracking devices, today announced the introduction of a new IP Voice Gateway targeted to Call Shops and Outbound Call Centers.
The IP Voice Gateway, VG800, is manufactured by Maipu and provided by IPN Communications, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DataLogic International. The gateway supports both outbound voice and fax transmission. It allows up to eight simultaneous outbound calls to be made from eight different traditional phones while sharing a single broadband connection.
To place a call, the user simply enters a PIN and then the destination phone number. The PIN is universal and can be used from any phone connected to a VG800 gateway anywhere in the world. The calls are charged at deeply discounted long distance rates.
Another important feature of the VG800 is its ability to accept regular phone lines as input and serve them as direct inward dial (DID) numbers. This also allows local DID's to be available from regions where DID's are difficult to obtain. Callers can then dial the DID number from any traditional or mobile phone and then the destination number to take advantage of the deep discount long distance rates. Calling to local DID numbers is typically free in most countries.
IPN Communications will target this IP Voice Gateway solution to call shops and call centers. Call shops and outbound call centers that use traditional phone equipment can significantly reduce their operating cost by using the VG800 and allow phone calls to be made via the Internet. The shops' revenues will derive from selling PIN cards. Their customers can either make calls on the premises by using the phones connected to the shop's gateway or from a remote or mobile phone by calling the gateway's DID number. The gateway can also be configured for outbound call centers so that no PIN is required when placing calls.
IPN Communications has been working with Maipu engineers to develop various VoIP Interactive Voice Response (IVR) applications. This is the first of several applications. Under the terms of the agreement, IPN will market and sell Maipu's suite of voice gateways to Southeast Asia and North America. Additionally, IPN has a worldwide exclusive right to market all current and future IPN VoIP IVR applications with Maipu equipment.
"We are excited to introduce this solution to target high calling volume businesses such as call shops and call centers," commented Keith Nguyen, DataLogic International's President. "The product is very popular and our initial order has mostly been pre-sold. The VG800 is yet another good example of innovative VoIP applications that we continue to introduce as part of our effort to lower telecommunication cost worldwide."

TAG - good news this morning...added more...going long. Look down at your zipper boys...it may be a Talon! LOL!
Tag-It Pacific, Inc. Secures 3rd Talon Zipper Franchise Agreement; Signs Three-Year, $7.5 Million Deal
January 05, 2005 08:30:00 (ET)
LOS ANGELES, Jan 5, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Tag-It Pacific, Inc. (TAG, Trade), a full service outsourced trim management department for manufacturers of fashion apparel, today announced that its Talon Division has continued the positive momentum relative to its franchising strategy, signing its third franchise agreement with an experienced manufacturer in central Asia. The manufacturer, which has an impressive established customer base including a significant local garment company, signed a three-year agreement which includes a $7.5 million minimum purchase agreement for the three-year period, and production and orders are expected to commence by April, 2005. This announcement, combined with two other franchise agreements for the Asian market previously announced, gives Tag-It Pacific a strong foothold for the Talon brand name.
As with the other franchises, Talon will provide rolled zippers in bulk, along with equipment for finishing the zippers for inclusion in finished garments. Talon is the inventor of the zipper, and the second-largest brand in a fragmented industry.
Colin Dyne, Tag-It Pacific's chief executive officer, commented, "This is the largest franchise agreement we've signed thus far, and based on the quality of this manufacturer, and their installed customer base in particular, we view this agreement as a milestone and validation of our franchising strategy for Talon. Clearly, our franchise strategy is being well-received in the marketplace, as we have formalized agreements with three solid franchises in three months, with others being negotiated. This strategy has opened several large markets to the Talon brand, extending our reach and operating leverage while minimizing our investment. These announcements put us far along toward our goal of capturing market share in 15 target markets, representing $600 million in zipper sales, in the initial Phase of this growth plan. This will allow us to continue expanding the geographic footprint and market penetration for Talon with minimal capital and sales and marketing expenditures."
About Tag-It Pacific, Inc. - Tag-It specializes in the distribution of a full range of trim items to manufacturers of fashion apparel, specialty retailers and mass merchandiser. Tag-It acts as a full service outsourced trim management department for manufacturers of fashion apparel such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Kentucky Apparel and Azteca Production International.

In addition, Tag-It distributes zippers under its Talon brand name to manufacturers for apparel brands and retailers such as Levi Strauss & Co., Wal-Mart, JC Penny and Tropical Sportswear, among others. In 2002, Tag-It created a new division under the TekFit brand name. This division develops and sells apparel components that utilize the patented Pro-Fit technology, including a stretch waistband.

USTT news - USA Technologies Received 3 Additional Patents in the Automotive Telematics Market
12/16/2004 11:12:00 AM
MALVERN, Pa., Dec 16, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- USA Technologies, Inc. (USTT), announced today that it has received three Notices of Allowance from the US Patent and Trademark Office for patent applications relating to wireless telematics technology.
These three allowed patent applications when issued, will bring the Company's total to 58 and will contribute to USA Technologies' intellectual property for connecting a vehicle to the Internet through a wireless device. Inventions under these allowed patent claims relate to vehicle security and vehicle telemetry.
"We believe that these patents could be beneficial to the telematics industry supplying the global automotive industry," said Stephen P. Herbert, President and COO, USA Technologies. "Technology related to these allowed patent applications could enable car dealerships to monitor the health and maintenance of cars, diagnose a possible maintenance issue and even order parts, all before their customer's car even enters the dealer's lot."
USA Technologies already has a patent relating to technology for transacting e-business related to identifying and procuring automotive service and vehicle replacement parts.
"Another application of such a system could enable a car owner, or the police, to monitor the location of their stolen car. The system could even give the user the ability to shut down the engine of the stolen car, remotely. All via the Internet," said Mr. Herbert.
USA Technologies noted that discussions were underway to license its intellectual property to leaders in wireless telematics technology, who are supplying the global automotive industry. In addition, USA Technologies is interested in licensing its technology to corporations pursuing business opportunities in wireless networked cashless vending, energy management, and college laundries.
The discussions are intended to leverage the Company's patents and networking technology, some of which could be applied to vehicles to connect to a wireless network for performance diagnostic services, as well as the ability to receive and deliver content and conduct e-commerce from the vehicle.
An important component of USA Technologies' intellectual property strategy is to generate revenue from licensing, from its portfolio of 58 patents granted and 30 pending. Just this past quarter, USA Technologies signed a technology licensing agreement with Mars Electronics "MEI", the world's leading manufacturer of payment systems, allowing MEI to use certain intellectual property to connect to USALive(R), the company's network for e-Port(R) credit card transactions.
"We made the decision last year to expand our wireless networking technology into the automotive telematics marketplace, and are hopeful that our vision and investment will ultimately deliver results," said Mr. Herbert. "We believe the Company is a leader in the wireless market, targeting vending, retail kiosks and business centers, and telematics was a natural next step."
Motorists with telematics services installed in their cars in the future can look to have information routed directly to a secure Web page -- possibly containing the vehicle's performance characteristics, including operating conditions, mileage and diagnostic trouble codes. Another wireless Internet link could allow automotive retailers to inform the vehicle owner via e-mail, about engine performance, service opportunities, appointment scheduling and emission testing. Telematics already enables vehicle tracking and positioning, helping motorists navigate and provide security.
"We are interested in taking our patents beyond just protecting the technology," said Mr. Herbert. "We are would like to monetize the significant investments we have made in developing the technology via a licensing campaign."
About USA Technologies:
USA Technologies is a leader in the networking of distributed assets, wireless non-cash transactions, associated financial/network services and energy management. USA Technologies provides networked credit card and other non-cash systems in the vending, commercial laundry, hospitality and digital imaging industries. USA Technologies is an IBM Business Partner. The Company has marketing agreements with AT&T, Honeywell, MEI, Unilever and ZiLOG Corporation. http://www.usatech.com
Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act:
With the exception of the historical information contained in this release, the matters described herein contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties that may individually or mutually impact the matters herein described, including but not limited to the ability of the Company to increase revenues in the future due to the developing and unpredictable markets for its products, the ability to achieve a positive cash flow, the ability to obtain orders for or install its products including the G-5 e-Port, the ability to obtain new
