Under the BPA award ORC will provide certified credentialing for identity management solutions to federal, state and local governments. In connection with an agreement between ORC and Wave, Wave expects ORC to provide federal government authorized Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES) capability, in combination with Wave's Embassy(R) Trust Suite secure software technology for use with compliant public key infrastructures. The terms upon which Wave will participate in the project are subject to the completion of a subcontract to be entered into between Wave and ORC.
The BPA recognizes ORC as a fully operational ACES and Shared Services Provider (SSP) as well as a provider of Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12) products and services. Further, the BPA also recognizes the ORC team as the only provider of Personnel Identity Verification (PIV) ready solutions for HSPD-12 products and services. The combined products of ORC and Wave offer HSPD-12 ready solutions for both "logical" and "physical" security.
"ORC is working with Wave to make trusted computing solutions embedded with External Certificate Authority (ECA) and ACES digital certificates available to all branches of government," said Daniel Turissini, president of ORC. "The combination of Wave's Embassy software technology integrated with ORC's Trusted Third Party services provides another tool to ensure high levels of Information Assurance technologies in the ongoing efforts to protect personal information within the federal government."
"Authenticating a computer user into a network by using methods more secure than passwords is a continuing effort for network administrators within government and enterprises," said Steven Sprague, president and CEO, Wave Systems. "With the ORC ACES BPA, government administrators will now have easy access to Class 3 PKI certificates that can be used within a Trusted Computing-based framework: a network of personal computers secured by industry standard Trusted Platform Modules and Wave's powerful and secure software technology."

IT's Coming. Michael Dell KNOWS WAVE. Why else would he buy more Dell stock unless he Knows.....IT'S COMING
Michael Buys Dell -- Should You?
By Anders Bylund
September 9, 2008 Comment (0) Recommend (0)
Michael Dell thinks that his company's stock is insanely cheap today -- so he bought about $100 million worth of Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) shares last week. Should you be doing the same?
The company's latest earnings report instantly erased six months of share-price growth, and the stock is around 20% cheaper today than before that stinker. Mike sees a buy-in opportunity, and you have to assume that the guy knows a bit more about his eponymous baby's prospects than the rest of us do. The problem with the latest numbers was shrinking margins, so I'm thinking that Michael is working on that issue as we speak. And in the meantime, he's putting his money where his mouth is.
So STEVEN........IS IT COMING or we still begging for pennies??
Inquiring stockholders want to know.
Wrong everything being sold went up during that period.
Years ago I believe there was an attempt that was shot down by management.
If Wavexpress has any value let's spin it off and see what the market will bear. Maybe lay out 20% ala VmWare/EMC and use that money to stay afloat until B/E.
Just a thought.
Will post in the evening.
Wave $28.6M market cap. This company never looked to borrow such CHUMP CHANGE in the past. Hope the "Times are a Changing".
Maybe the Disney spin-off MovieBeam might be Interested in buying for a comeback from 2005 now that HD is mandated for 2009.
"While the value WXP offers is not complete in itself because they have little access to content, nevertheless the value they can release for others who do have access is considerable."
Would it work with Sirius Backseat???
The Good: Wave has great partners that I don't think want them to go out of business
Bet you they could Buy Wave Tech. for pennies on the dollar if we did.
Oh wait a minute we are trading for pennies on the $$$$$
.15+ cents to be precise.
46 CENTS !!!!!!

Hordes Of Streaming Fans Can Watch Olympics
Friday August 1, 6:32 pm ET
Julie Vallone
Matthew Rechs remembers his mother and grandparents waking up at 3 a.m. to watch the Olympics.
"The Olympics were huge in my family, and that's the only way they could catch the events they wanted to see," Rechs said. "Throughout the history of the Olympics, most people haven't been able to see most of Games. They were able to read about them in the paper or catch whatever highlights the TV network decided to show."
ADVERTISEMENT
Times have changed, and Rechs is one of the people at the forefront of that change.
He's chief technology officer for Los Angeles-based Schematic, a unit of ad firm WPP Digital.
Schematic helped develop Microsoft's (NasdaqGS:MSFT - News) Silverlight 2 video player, software that shows video on Web sites.
NBC is using Silverlight to stream high-quality video of the 2008 Beijing Olympics -- which begin Friday and run through Aug. 24 -- over the Web.
"The (Silverlight) player has been designed to give viewers the best experience possible," Rechs said. "You'll be able to watch four simultaneous video streams of the live coverage."
Users can toggle among the four different events, he says, make one big and the others small, and do a picture-in-picture setup where a smaller stream appears within a larger one. If viewers need to mute the sound, they can choose to see the broadcasters' event commentary in text form, in a closed-caption-type stream.
The Online Olympics
With the help of the Silverlight player and other technologies, NBC will bring fans an unprecedented level of online Olympic coverage on its NBCOlympics.com Web site, and on mobile devices.
The network plans to stream 2,200 hours of 25 events live and make almost all of the 4,000 hours of the Games available on video archives for North American Web users.
NBC's online coverage of the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens featured text articles, with limited video highlights. Online coverage of the '06 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, had more video, but not as much as will these Games.
"In (Turin) we streamed live one two-hour gold medal hockey game. Now we are streaming live 2,200 hours," said Adam Freifeld, an NBC Sports spokesman. "The scope of what we are doing has never been attempted."
The network is partnering with Microsoft not only through the use of the Silverlight player, but also through its NBCOlympics2Go. This service lets people who have Microsoft's Vista operating system download any event from the Games to watch on their laptops and mobile devices.
The network also has signed deals with AT&T (NYSE:T - News), which will carry the NBCOlympics2Go content, and with Verizon Wireless, which will provide streaming video highlights, breaking news and results.
NBC said video content also will be available through service providers Alltel, T-Mobile and Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S - News)on "select handsets." Perkins Miller, senior vice president of Digital Media at NBC Sports, says fans should be able to watch on most video-enabled mobile devices.
Whether fans will actually access all that content might come down to a key question: Can they load the Silverlight plug-in? Silverlight, a cross-platform and cross-browser technology, is Microsoft's rival to Adobe Systems' (NasdaqGS:ADBE - News) Flash, widely used by Internet video viewers.
Silverlight already has been used to stream coverage of baseball on MLB.com, by Netflix (NasdaqGS:NFLX - News) for its "Watch Now" feature, and by Fox Movies for new movie trailers.
The Olympics will be by far Microsoft's biggest attempt to push the technology out to the market.
"Not many people have this installed," said Bobby Tulsiani, an analyst with Jupiter Research. "It's a win for Microsoft because anyone who wants to watch the Olympics will end up using Silverlight. It will enable Microsoft to install a base of Silverlight users. But it hasn't been tested on the same scale as Flash."
Tulsiani says NBC is taking a risk by not using the tried and true Flash, which most users already have. He points out that Flash has successfully streamed many big events, including the NCAA basketball tournament, on CBS.com.
"When you make a user download something new and it doesn't work well, a lot of people will abandon it," he said. "It had better work right and it better have good content."
If the technology is a winner, it could mean substantial new online ad revenue for NBC and its partners. NBC hasn't said what sort of revenue it expects from its Olympics effort, online or offline.
"It's hard to say what (ad) percentage will come from TV and from the Internet," Tulsiani said. "But it's clear NBC is definitely making money through its online coverage."
Enticing The Young Crowd
The digital Games might help networks, and the Olympics, attract younger viewers.
Some reports have estimated the average age of viewers -- mostly TV viewers at that time -- for '04 Games at over 40, which doesn't bode well for the popularity of future Olympics.
But NBC's online efforts could resonate with younger viewers, the people most comfortable with online technologies.
"We hope people experience the broadest, deepest coverage of an Olympic Games ever," Miller said, "and find themselves greater fans of the athletes, sports and Olympics."

The Intel Health Guide, which includes a small touch-screen PC and online interface to connect patients to doctors, has won approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Intel plans to start selling the PC and health care services later in 2008.
Intel is now a step closer to becoming its own health care shop.
On July 10, Intel announced that it had received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin selling a personal health care system dubbed the Intel Health Guide, which includes a small touch-screen PC and a Web portal to allow patients to communicate with their doctors.
The Intel Health Guide represents a fairly large next step in the company's efforts to drill down into very specific vertical markets. In years past, Intel has touted its chips and other technologies such as vPro—a series of security and management features built into the silicon itself—as a platform for building notebooks, desktops and tablets PCs for health care institutions that have both processing power and the security to handle sensitive patient records.
As microprocessors become smaller—Intel has 45-nanometer processors already and it plans to produce 32-nanometer chips in 2009—it becomes easier to create small devices and mobile form factors for specific fields like health care, and then hook these devices to the Internet. Other chip makers, such as Advanced Micro Devices and Texas Instruments, are experimenting with other technologies such as RFID (radio-frequency identification).
Intel has also experimented with RFID technology, and on the same day it received the FDA approval the chip maker announced it would sell its own RFID division to Impinj to develop new chip technology. While both companies declined to discuss financial information, reports indicated that Intel will have a stake in Impinj.
Now with Health Guide, Intel is signaling that it can handle a range of services designed to help with patient care. The Intel Health Guide also looks to save insurance companies and other health care companies money by shifting some of the burden of monitoring patients with ongoing or chronic health problems to the home and out of the hospital.
"With more people living with chronic diseases, we believe care can be increasingly moved outside of the hospital to the home," Louis Burns, vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Health Group, said in a statement. "Through our research, we've learned that a home-based model of care becomes more than just delivering care to patients at home—it is about creating connections to family, friends, caregivers, and the care team."
The technologies that go into the Intel Health Guide include a specialized touch-screen PC that can be attached, both wired and wirelessly, to a number of different medical devices including blood pressure monitors, glucose meters and weight scales. The information from the patient is sent through the Internet to a secure host server and then that collected information can be shared with doctors.
Now that Intel has FDA approval, it will conduct additional tests of the Health Guide throughout the next several months before putting it on sale in both the United States and United Kingdom in either the fourth quarter of 2008 or the first half of 2009.
Never said they will. They have a superior supply chain currently and numerous cable deals-notwithstanding their patent lawsuit with SAT. cable which has further implications.
Maybe we can dig up wave's old business ally that was into streaming cable to TV-LOL
What is the Mantra? Capture the Living Room. I think these Gorilla's have already looked at Wavexpress and YuMe Vs.

[TIVO 7.55 -0.11 (-1.44%) ] announced users can access YouTube videos, streaming them on their living room TV, rolling out over the next few weeks.
It's free to all customers who have a "TiVo HD" or "Series 3" TiVo, or it has to be networked to the Internet. (That's about a a fifth of TiVo's 3.8 million users). The company announced this partnership earlier in March, saying a product would be available within six months, putting this surprise launch ahead of schedule.
Sixty eight million unique users watched YouTube videos in May, streaming 3.8 billion videos. TiVo's hoping this will be a key factor differentiating their service from all the other DVR services cable companies and the like now offer. TiVo says this is a natural extension of giving users access to content anytime they want, on their TV. The way people toggle between windows on their TV, this could be really useful.
