Service providers are migrating from expensive, “barely broadband” T1 circuits to copper and fiber-based Ethernet solutions that are the underpinning for a new generation of cloud services. The ONE series of CPE enables service providers to deliver managed converged services with Carrier Ethernet technology today, with a software-centric architecture that reduces the number of appliances required in the SMB LAN to deliver cloud-based services to the SMB and enterprise customer.

“OneAccess has set an expectation for commitment to interoperability that our service provider customers rely on for reduced time to deployment and high quality service offerings,” said Dennis R. Gatens, vice president & general manager for OneAccess Networks, North America. “Our commitment to interoperability certification and solution partnerships is an integral part of the strategic relationship we build with our service provider customers.”

“We are very pleased to welcome OneAccess Networks into the Metaswitch Mosaic Program,” said Stefan Knight, vice president of strategic alliances at Metaswitch. “As carriers increasingly deploy our hosted business services solution they are also looking for compatible elements such as the ONE700 for their SMB customers.”

The Metaswitch Mosaic Program is a formal ecosystem of solution vendors who have successfully demonstrated interoperability with Metaswitch’s platforms in the company’s interoperability lab in San Francisco. Once solutions reach certification, they are promoted throughout the Metaswitch customer base and Mosaic partners are invited to exhibit at the annual Metaswitch Forum. More than 250 products from over 100 companies are currently Mosaic certified, including customer-premise equipment (CPEs), access platforms, applications, network operations and hosted services, delivering world-class options to Metaswitch customers at every point in their network.

With greater than 600,000 units deployed in more than 130 service provider networks around the world, the OneAccess OneOS is a field-proven, highly reliable operating system with a number of management tools that reduce the operational cost and complexity of managed converged services.

Founded in 1973, GHK’s 150 employees provide high-end consulting services in research and evaluation, financial and impact assessment, and program management from four offices in Asia and five offices in Europe. For 2011, GHK is expected to report revenues of approximately US$30 million. The transaction is expected to be earnings neutral to ICF in 2012.

“GHK is an excellent strategic fit for ICF, bringing multi-disciplinary, highly educated, and motivated employees who have deep domain knowledge in our key markets. This combination would significantly strengthen our European presence with complementary services and create critical mass for ICF in high-growth Asian markets,” said ICF International Chairman and CEO Sudhakar Kesavan. “We have already won one project together and are proposing jointly on others. We are confident that we will be able to work in concert to significantly expand ICF’s Asia and Europe advisory and implementation business.”

Mr. Kesavan added, “This transaction is an important element of our strategy to replicate ICF’s U.S. track record in Europe and Asia. Jeanne Townend, executive vice president for ICF, will relocate to London upon the completion of this acquisition to oversee the integration of GHK and lead the growth of our Europe and Asia business.”

“We are excited by the prospect of joining ICF, which gives us the platform to make an even greater positive impact for our clients on key issues, as well as provide enhanced opportunities for our employees,” said GHK Chief Executive Paul Harris. “Both firms are recognized knowledge leaders with established and successful track records in their business areas.”

The combination of GHK with ICF would create value in several ways:

• Add scale to ICF’s presence in Europe. GHK provides a broader footprint of complementary services in Europe, including a large presence in the United Kingdom and with the European Commission (EC) in Brussels, and an office in Poland. This will allow growth in the areas of environment, employment, health, education and training, transportation, social policy, business, and economic development.
• Provide scale to ICF’s Asia business. The combined firm will have offices and significant presence in Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Manila, and New Delhi. This gives ICF excellent size and scope to take advantage of business opportunities in the areas of environment, health, education, economic development, energy, and transportation from locations that are close to key customers.
• Add depth in advisory capabilities in Europe and Asia. The combined firm will be in a position to expand GHK’s advisory services into implementation areas. This breadth will expand existing client relationships and provide full service options to new clients in health, energy, transportation, and development.

Revised 2012 Revenue Guidance

Taking into account both the planned acquisition of GHK and the recent acquisition of Ironworks Consulting, ICF is increasing its preliminary guidance for 2012 revenues to the range of $1.0 billion to $1.04 billion from the prior $910 million to $940 million range and is increasing its expected EBITDA margin range to 9.5 percent to 10.5 percent from the prior 9 percent to 10 percent range. ICF will provide 2012 earnings per share guidance when it releases its fourth quarter and full year 2011 results after the close of market on Wednesday, February 29, 2012.

These operational and technological accomplishments helped reinforce the company’s commitment to meeting customer demand by increasing the capacity, speed, resiliency and efficiency of Verizon’s global network, which stretches more than 670,000 route miles, including terrestrial and undersea cable, and spans six continents.

“From local to global, Verizon’s continued investment in networks and leading-edge technology is driving unsurpassed reliability and a superior consumer experience,” said Tony Melone, chief technology officer for Verizon. “In addition, our world-class networks are enhancing, and even changing, business models for industries that use these networks.

“Our network strategy focuses on advancing technologies and expanding our network reach in a way that energizes future innovations, as we have seen in areas such as 4G LTE, 100G optical and FiOS,” he said.

100G Technology Sets Verizon Apart

Marking two industry firsts, Verizon deployed 100 Gbps (gigabits per second) technology on portions of its European and U.S. networks.

The company has the first standards-based, multivendor 100 gigabit Ethernet link on its IP backbone on a portion of the company’s European long-haul network, increasing capacity and performance for multinational business and government customers.

On its U.S. backbone network, Verizon deployed 100 Gbps technology on an ultra-long-haul optical system between New York and Chicago, helping deliver better efficiencies and scalability.

This advanced technology also significantly reduces latency – the time it takes for data sent from its entry point in the network to reach its destination– as well as provides greater capacity per fiber and helps control costs.

What’s After 100G?

In another industry first, Verizon and NEC Corporation of America jointly completed a field trial transmitting high bit-rate technologies, including 100 Gbps, 450 Gbps and 1T (1 terabit or 1,000 Gbps), coexisting on the same fiber. The trial, which measured the quality of the signal for all channels as well as the intensity of the optical signal, showed these “superchannels” are able to carry higher capacities while improving spectral efficiency without sacrificing distance.

Unmatched Enterprise Cloud Services

Verizon acquired Terremark, which offers an unmatched combination of global data centers, cloud solutions and IT consulting services. World-class IT services and cloud offerings — including virtualization, collocation, managed hosting, application management, storage and cloud computing services — will help customers operate more nimbly and take advantage of better cost economies.

The company also acquired CloudSwitch, an innovative provider of cloud software technology that helps customers simplify moving to the enterprise cloud as well as helps boost industry adoption.

As a result of these acquisitions, Network World magazine ranked Verizon among the 10 most powerful cloud companies in the magazine’s year-end list.

Leading the Way with Verizon Wireless 4G LTE

As of December 2011, Verizon Wireless has deployed its 4G LTE network in more than 190 markets across the U.S., covering more than 200 million people.

Verizon and SpectrumCo LLC — a joint venture between Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks — entered into an agreement in which Verizon Wireless will acquire 122 Advanced Wireless Services spectrum licenses covering 259 million points of presence.

The cable companies and Verizon Wireless also will become agents to sell one another’s products and, eventually, the cable companies will have the option of selling Verizon Wireless’ service on a wholesale basis. In addition, the cable companies and Verizon Wireless have formed an innovation technology joint venture for the development of technology to better integrate wireline and wireless products and services. This acquisition of spectrum is an important step toward meeting the consumer demand for additional mobile services.

FiOS Experience is One of the Best

Verizon conducted the first-of-its kind demonstration over its high-bandwidth FiOS network of a full-resolution high-definition 3D transmission via a premium TV service provider. Verizon and Panasonic — a leader in Full HD 3D technology — streamed Full HD 3D, currently the highest-possible resolution of 3D video, via Verizon’s 100 percent fiber-optic FiOS TV service.

The Federal Communications Commission’s report on residential wireline broadband service, “Measuring Broadband America,” confirmed that Verizon FiOS Internet delivered 114 percent of its advertised upload and download speeds during peak periods, the highest of any Internet service provider tested. The report also cited the company’s impressive symmetrical FiOS Internet speeds, which exceeded promised speeds and provided upstream speeds averaging four to six times faster than those of the closest competitor — an important advantage for today’s increasingly interactive Internet.

Leveraging the strength of the Verizon FiOS network, the company also announced several new entertainment experiences, including accessing FiOS TV on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system; Google Apps for Verizon; MY FiOS app; and expanded programming for ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN Buzzer Beater, MTV Networks, truTV HD and BET HD. These enhancements continue to break down old technology boundaries and free consumers to enjoy entertainment on their own terms.

Undersea Cables Provide Much-Needed Capacity

The submarine cable SEA-ME-WE4 was upgraded to 40 Gbps, enabling Verizon customers that do business in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East to take advantage of the additional capacity, improved performance and increased scalability.

In addition, the $700 million Europe India Gateway cable, one of the most advanced submarine cable systems in the world, was activated, offering additional diversity and capacity to meet critical communications needs of multinational companies.

International Expansion Benefits Global Customers

Verizon announced a new network alliance with Dialog Axiata PLC, which made possible the expansion of Verizon’s Private IP network capabilities to Sri Lanka, a growing global commerce center.

The company also completed a fiber-optic network expansion project in Singapore, greatly increasing the company’s network coverage and doubling capacity for enterprise customers, many of which are expanding operations in the Asia-Pacific region.

Moving to IPv6

With the depletion of IPv4 addresses, Verizon expanded its Internet Dedicated service in Asia-Pacific and Europe and Private IP services globally to carry traffic using the next-generation Internet Protocol, IPv6. As a result, Verizon enterprise customers can exchange IPv6 traffic in multiple formats across both the company’s global public Internet backbone and private IP network. This transition helps Verizon’s business and government agencies continue to experience uninterrupted Internet service.

Verizon Network Provides Foundation for Award-Winning Solutions

With its world-class network providing the principal foundation, Verizon received numerous industry awards and honors recognizing the strength of its networking solutions. This year, Verizon was positioned in the Leaders quadrant by industry analyst firm Gartner in the report, “Magic Quadrant for Global Network Service Providers.(1)” And for the third consecutive year, Verizon achieved the Metro Ethernet Forum’s highest honor of 2011 Global Service Provider of the Year for the company’s comprehensive, international Carrier Ethernet portfolio and ongoing service innovation.

“As we look ahead, we’re confident we have the experience, the expertise and the strategic vision to ensure continued leadership in the business of networks and technology, whether it’s FiOS, cloud services, LTE or other advanced technologies,” said Melone.

(NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ), headquartered in New York, is a global leader in delivering broadband and other wireless and wireline communications services to consumer, business, government and wholesale customers. Verizon Wireless operates America’s most reliable wireless network, with more than 107 million total connections nationwide.

According to a December 2011 report from Reuters, the music industry just saw an increase in overall sales for the first time since 2004. The Reuters story attributes part of this success to the popularity of the new album by British soul singer Adele, whose 21 sold more than five million copies, but also to the industry’s increased focus on digital downloads. In 2011 the recording industry embraced digital music more than ever before, something that speaks to just how prevalent digital music really is. A nationwide investment group, called National Property Trust, is seeking to capitalize on this, unveiling new investment opportunities in the digital music industry and inviting new investors to take part.

National Property Trust has long been known as a real estate investment group, but, according to one company spokesperson, the investment group’s only priority is providing sound investment opportunities to new investors. “The economy has been shaky, and there is not a lot of investor confidence in real estate,” the spokesperson notes. “However, digital music is an industry that is inarguably on the rise, and poses incredible opportunities. That’s why National Property Trust is unveiling new opportunities for investing in digital music.”

Indeed, the company spokesperson notes that National Property Trust’s new digital music opportunities are coming at just the right time for investors. Google’s new digital music service has announced singles available for a record-breaking 49 cents apiece, something that is expected to ignite new competition in the industry, Music Business Journal says. “There has never been a better time to invest in digital music than right now,” the spokesperson says, “and there has never been a better time for investors to partner with National Property Trust.”

While the company is shifting its focus from its more traditional real estate investment opportunities, not everything at National Property Trust is changing. The company’s core values remain the same. This includes an emphasis on clear communication with investors, as well as a strong commitment to taking a service-oriented approach. National Property Trust is currently seeking new investors for digital music endeavors, as well as for medical supplies and also real estate projects.

ABOUT:

The National Property Trust is a private equity company committed to personal investments and products. The company offers investment services for assorted markets and industries. These include real estate investment, helping businesses start-up or become public, asset acquirement, penny stocks, and multitude of additional services.
