NEW YORK & FOSTER CITY, Calif., Nov 04, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Lexent Metro Connect, the leading provider of dark fiber networks in the New York Metropolitan area, and Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq:EQIX), a provider of global data center services, today announced that Lexent has completed its ultra low latency dark fiber connection between two Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX(R)) data centers in Secaucus, NJ and strategic carrier hotels located in Manhattan, including 60 Hudson Street, 32 Avenue of the America, 75 Broad Street and 111 Eighth Avenue.
The new dark fiber route follows the shortest distance across the Hudson River, offering the lowest latency fiber path between Manhattan and Equinix's NY4 and NY2 centers in Secaucus. With a route latency of less than 100 microseconds, this new link will enable global banks, financial exchanges and other enterprises, located in the 100+ Lexent on-net buildings or along the Lexent fiber optic backbone, to link with the Equinix Financial eXchange community of execution venues, buy and sell side firms, market data providers and technology utilities operating within the NY4 and NY2 centers. These companies operate at Equinix's high performance data centers to access the widest choice of low-latency networks and to directly exchange data with strategic partners and customers in close proximity.
"By utilizing Lexent Metro Connect, the financial community operating within our NY4 and NY2 centers in Secaucus can tap into fast, high-quality dark fiber routes to securely access New York's carrier hotels," said John Knuff, director of business development for Equinix. "This provides them with optimized, low-latency links to New York City's financial exchanges and other key investment buildings."
In June, Reuters published a paper called "Addressing the low-latency challenge, Low-latency architecture as a competitive advantage," in which David Lester, the chief information officer at the London Stock Exchange commented that "the firms that have been happy with a latency of 400 or 500 milliseconds will find that it is just not good enough going forward." Lexent's short fiber path specifically addresses these concerns. The network was designed to meet the requirements of the growing proximity trading community by offering an ultra-low latency route with high reliability, as the probability of physical fiber faults are decreased due to reduced exposure to potential third-party damage. These low latency connections, measured in milliseconds, translate to tens of thousands of dollars per transaction for traders.
"Latency is arguably one of the most important factors driving financial firms' metro network decisions today," said Ray La Chance, President and CEO of Lexent Metro Connect. "We have seen a surge in financial firms requesting private dark fiber solutions utilizing shorter optical routes, and with no mid-span equipment. In response, Lexent has built upon its core regional dark fiber footprint, removing the 'fiber variable' and allowing its clients to deploy latency optimized applications unparalleled by comparable carrier solutions."
Lexent's low latency New York/New Jersey fiber route is now available. For more information, please email info@lexent.net.

CISCO: Cisco Announces Agreement to Acquire DVN Set-Top Box Business
Acquisition Furthers Cisco's Vision of the Global Connected Home
Nov 03, 2009 -- SAN JOSE, Calif., SHANGHAI and HONG KONG -- Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced a definitive agreement to acquire the set-top box business of DVN (Holdings) Limited, (SEHK: 0500). Listed in Hong Kong with major operations in China, DVN is a market and technology leader in digital cable solutions in China and shares Cisco's vision of a high-performance, scalable and services-rich cable interactive platform extending into every home.
Under the terms of the agreement, Cisco will pay up to $44.5 million for the set-top box business of DVN. Of this amount, approximately $17.5 million will be paid up front, with an additional maximum amount of $27 million to be paid over four years based on the achievement of specific sales milestones. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2010 subject to standard closing conditions, DVN shareholder approval and regulatory approvals.
In addition to the acquisition, Cisco has entered into a go-to-market alliance with the remainder of the DVN organization -- which will continue to be led by current DVN CEO Terry Lui -- in order to utilize the company's middleware and advanced applications as well as integration and support services. The alliance will provide joint customers with unparalleled end-to-end capabilities through the evolution from basic digital broadcast to advanced interactive services.
"Cisco and DVN have similar cultures that emphasize video innovation and a shared vision to enable multi-media connected homes across China," said Ken Klaer, vice president and general manager, International Cable Business Unit at Cisco. "With this acquisition, we will offer customers the powerful combination of DVN's products with the Cisco IP Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) platform, and Cisco will be well positioned to engage in the largest digital transformation opportunity in the world today."
The Chinese cable market is currently the largest in the world with 160 million subscribers and is predicted to grow to as many as 200 million over the next three to five years. Currently, only about one-third of the market has converted to digital cable. With the Chinese government mandating full digitization by 2015, this represents an important long-term opportunity for Cisco.
"Cisco's global technology leadership and breadth of services combined with DVN's market-leading solutions and talented employee base will ensure that Chinese consumers continue to receive superior digital services today and are provided with world-class advanced technologies moving forward," said DVN CEO Terry Lui. "Cisco has demonstrated a strong commitment to the Chinese market, and I look forward to working with them as part of our ongoing alliance."
Between the signing of the agreement and the close of the acquisition, Cisco and DVN's set-top box businesses will continue to operate as separate companies. Upon completion of the transaction, the DVN set-top box business will become a part of the International Cable Business Unit within the Service Provider Video Technology Group (SPVTG) at Cisco led by Klaer. Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies expect to work together with the aim of providing uninterrupted service to set-top box customers and to prepare for an orderly transfer of the business.
The DVN business will run end-to-end from within China - from design, sourcing and logistics through to marketing, sales and service. This is an important milestone for Cisco, not only in China, but for a broader strategy toward competing in emerging markets with locally designed and produced solutions.
The investment is part of Cisco's ongoing long-term commitment to China and its belief in cultivating local innovation and talent. In April of this year Cisco introduced a "cultivated innovation" model aimed at boosting local innovation through capital, technology, process expertise, incubation resources and leadership investments.

OXFORD, Mass., Nov 03, 2009 -- IPG Photonics Corporation (Nasdaq: IPGP) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2009 ended
September 30, 2009.
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (In millions, except per share data) 2009 2008 % Change 2009 2008 % Change
Revenue $ 45.8 $ 62.0 -26 % $ 131.6 $ 170.9 -23 %

Earnings per diluted share $ 0.05 $ 0.23 -78 % $ 0.05 $ 0.60 -92 %
Comments on the Third Quarter
"Despite the challenging economic environment, we surpassed our guidance on the top- and bottom-line in addition to recording a third-quarter profit of five cents, after reporting a loss in the second quarter," said Dr. Valentin Gapontsev, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer.
"Although the demand environment continues to be very difficult compared with the third quarter a year ago, revenues grew by more than 13 percent on a sequential basis. Year-over-year, sales for the third quarter were down 26 percent. We were particularly encouraged with the 63 percent sequential increase in pulsed laser sales, which offset soft demand for high power lasers primarily due to continued restructuring in the auto sector."
"Asian markets, especially China, performed well during the quarter and were responsible for driving our sequential revenue growth," said Gapontsev. "In Europe, Germany continued to be weak, but that was partially offset by increasing demand for cutting applications in southern Europe. Materials processing, our largest market, continues to be affected by recessionary conditions, but still posted 17 percent growth on a sequential basis due to increasing demand in China. The advanced applications market turned in solid growth in the third quarter on a sequential and year-over-year basis. Sales for medical applications continued to increase on a year-over-year basis, while telecom growth slowed in the third quarter due to spending delays in the U.S. and Russia."
"During the quarter, we generated $13.9 million in cash from operations, repaid $16.2 million in bank debt and ended the quarter with $76.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $25.0 million from year-end 2008," said Gapontsev. "We also reduced capital expenditures to $1.9 million in the quarter, and $9.6 million year-to-date." For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, cash provided by operating activities was $37.7 million and cash used in investing activities totaled $9.5 million.
While gross margin was 36.5% in the third quarter of 2009 compared with 47.4% in the same quarter in 2008, it increased sequentially by 7.4 percentage points from the second quarter of 2009. Operating income was $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared with operating income of $17.1 million for the same period in 2008. Operating expenses, including foreign exchange gains and losses, for the third quarter of 2009 were $13.1 million, or 28.5% of revenue, compared with $12.3 million, or 19.9% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2008.
For the first nine months of 2009, gross margin was 33.7% compared with 47.3% in 2008. Operating income was $4.4 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared with $42.4 million for the first nine months of 2008. Operating expenses, including foreign exchange gains and losses, for the first nine months of 2009 were $40.0 million, or 30.4% of revenue, compared with $38.4 million, or 22.5% of revenue, in the same period of 2008.
IPG also announced that it is planning to file a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register up to $130 million in securities, including $30 million in secondary shares. IPG anticipates that the registration statement would be filed within the next ten days. While the Company has no immediate plans to raise capital under the shelf registration statement, it provides IPG with the financial flexibility to do so at the appropriate time.

Wizzard Media Launches 24 New iPhone Apps
PITTSBURGH, Nov 05, 2009 -- Wizzard Media (NYSE Amex: WZE), the world's largest podcasting network, today announced the launch of 24 new iPhone(R) Apps available for sale in the App store including Investors Business Daily Editorials and Alaska HDTV. The average price for the new Apps is $1.99.
The newly launched Apps are iPhone companion Apps for popular podcasts on the Wizzard Media Network, offering audiences one-click access to the podcast directly on their iPhone or iPod Touch(R), bonus content and new social communication features creating an unprecedented level of audience engagement.
Wizzard recently announced 2009 third quarter network numbers of 12,281 podcasts downloaded 332 million times in the quarter by over 18 million unique monthly audience members. Approximately 70% of the audience for podcasts subscribe through iTunes(R) from which users download podcasts for their iPhone and iPod(R). Until recently, Wizzard's only means to derive revenues was through podcast publishing services as well as advertising sales.
With the launch of the iPhone App store in iTunes, Wizzard created a unique iPhone App that can be quickly customized for each podcast and allows podcast publishers to generate a new revenue stream by marketing their own iPhone App directly to their audience. Wizzard shares in this revenue with the podcast publisher. Now, with Wizzard's unique podcast companion App for the iPhone, participating podcasts can market their customized App to their audience and then drive future reoccurring episode and subscription sales through a process called in-App purchasing.
Analysts project the App market to be a $1.0 billion market today, headed for $4.0 billion by 2012. With the holiday season approaching and the recent launch of the iPhone in China, Wizzard's Management believes the number of people using iPhones and iPod Touches to consume podcasts and interact with Apps will continue to grow well beyond the current 50 million user base.
Having launched the first podcast App only 95 days ago, Wizzard Media already has launched 70 iPhone Apps with 60 more Apps awaiting approval. Additionally, Wizzard has exclusively licensed 12 high quality, game type Apps and is currently marketing them through targeted podcasts across the Wizzard Media Network. Select podcast Apps on the Wizzard Network have already helped to convert approximately 15% of their audience from free, to paid, in the first 75 days since launch.
"We think our podcast companion App initiative is a game changer for the podcasting industry. We believe the next great opportunity on the web for media is the seamless combination of three trends -- publishing services, advertising and micropayments for App sales," says Dave Mansueto, co-founder Wizzard Media. "Now, podcasting becomes a platform that converts audiences to revenue, accelerated by the micropayment billing process that Apple has created with the App store. We believe this new process is the model for how digital media is published, audiences are grown and revenues derived." "We know there is strong demand for the podcasts we distribute seeing downloads grow from 400 million to well over 1 billion in the last three years and monthly audiences grow from 4 million to 18 million," says Laurie Sims, President of Wizzard Media. "Now that we have a method to charge for podcast content and subscriptions, we believe there is dramatic change ahead for the podcast industry. Unlike most Apps in the App store, podcasters have a distinct advantage to successfully market their App in iTunes due to the fact that they have already built a substantial audience for their product through iTunes." About Wizzard Media: Wizzard Media provides publishing and distribution services to podcasters and monetization services for podcasters. Wizzard Media is the industry's leading podcasting network with an unprecedented 1.2 billion download requests in 2008. Podcasts are a means for independent and professional content creators to publish audio and video shows for the world to enjoy over the Internet or on mp3 players, such as the Apple iPod(R), iPhone(R) and the Microsoft Zune(R). Podcasting is a relatively new phenomenon, but Wizzard Media collectively broadcasts millions of podcast downloads per day through media aggregators like Apple's iTunes and Microsoft's Zune Marketplace.

Equinix Announces Initial Carriers Participating in Ethernet Exchange Development Program
AboveNet, Exponential-e, Hibernia Atlantic, Level 3, PCCW Global, Reliance Globalcom and Tinet Are Early Participants in First Carrier-Neutral Ethernet Exchange
NEW YORK, Nov 03, 2009 -- The Light Reading Ethernet Expo Americas 2009 Conference -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq:EQIX), a provider of global data center services, today announced AboveNet, Exponential-e, Hibernia Atlantic, Level 3, PCCW Global, Reliance Globalcom and Tinet, among others, as initial participants in the recently announced Equinix Carrier Ethernet Exchange platform, a development program to define enhanced solutions for the exchange of data traffic between carriers providing Ethernet services.
The Equinix Carrier Ethernet Exchange development program consists of a platform for multi-provider carrier Ethernet interconnection that meets Metro Ethernet Forum standards. The program is reviewing a variety of solutions including Ethernet Network to Network Interconnection (NNI) and additional services that leverage the density and breadth of networks operating within Equinix's centers. The platform is available at Equinix International Business Exchange(TM) (IBX(R)) data centers globally using Alcatel-Lucent's service routing portfolio.
"Demand for AboveNet's Ethernet services continues to grow," said Philip Olivero, vice president of Engineering for AboveNet. "The current process for extending our Ethernet service offering outside of our service area requires the establishment of multiple, complex interconnection relationships with other carriers. A multi-carrier Ethernet exchange platform would simplify interconnection, reduce costs and speed delivery of Ethernet services to off-net customer locations." "As a leading international provider of fiber-based communications services, Level 3 is helping our customers keep pace with the demands of an increasingly networked world. Our customers are turning to Ethernet to support applications like server virtualization, cloud computing, and data center consolidation," said Russell Shriver, Level3's vice president of Internet and Data Services. "Today, business is dispersed all over the world, and it's technically challenging, time-consuming and costly for enterprises to pull together end-to-end Ethernet services. By working with Equinix, Level 3 will expand its ability to provide a seamless, high-performance Ethernet offering." "Ethernet is gaining greater acceptance as a transport and transit technology as more and more global enterprise customers and content service providers rely on its speed, cost and performance advantages," said Dr. Kamran Sistanizadeh, chief technology officer, Reliance Globalcom. "Equinix is in a unique position to provide an exchange platform that will enable Reliance Globalcom to easily execute interconnection relationships with other Ethernet carriers outside of our current service area in order to capitalize on the new customer demands for regional, national and global Ethernet services." About Equinix Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX) provides global data center services that ensure the vitality of the information-driven world. Global enterprises, content and financial companies, and network service providers rely upon Equinix's insight and expertise to protect and connect their most valued information assets.

KIT digital and IMG Enter Into Agreement
LOS ANGELES, CA and PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC, Nov 04, 2009 -- KIT digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: KITD), a leading global provider of Internet Protocol (IP) based video management technologies, has agreed to a minimum two-year agreement with IMG, the world's premier and most diversified sports, entertainment and media company.
Nunet AG, which KIT digital acquired from IMG earlier this month, has provided IMG with platform support for various IMG events for the past three years. It is intended these services be continued and that the companies will work closely to find new areas of entrepreneurial activity and collaboration.
"IMG is one of the world's leading entertainment brands, and has shown tremendous foresight in using online and mobile video to grow its brands," said KIT digital's president, Gavin Campion. "This agreement reflects our commitment to continuing to provide world-best platform technology to Nunet customers, and we're confident that IMG will look to benefit from the broader range of products and services now available as part of the KIT digital offering."
Under the agreement, KIT digital will support certain key IMG properties, such as Fashion Week.
"IMG is focused on its core competencies in representation for sports, fashion and rights," said Carmi Zlotnik, head of IMG media operations. "We look to partner with the best and brightest in other areas such as digital technology, and believe KIT digital has distinguished itself as a leader in the relevant categories. Instead of viewing the sale of Nunet as an ending, we view the purchase of Nunet by KIT as the beginning of a collaborative relationship that will hopefully benefit both of our businesses."
The agreement with IMG complements KIT digital's leadership in the sport arena, in which the company has worked with leading brands, including ESPN, Eurosport, MLB, La Liga, The AFL (Australia), and Tabcorp Racing to provide rich IP video experiences to end-users.
Barak Bar-Cohen, KIT digital's executive vice president of business development, added: "We believe that sports content is perfectly suited to a 'three-screen' approach. Our technology allows content owners and telcos to serve fans sporting matches and highlights anywhere and anytime, on a mobile phone, a computer screen, or an IP-enabled TV."
