SANDVINE WINS SIX NEW SERVICE PROVIDER CUSTOMERS

Five of the new customers from EMEA sales region

Waterloo, Canada; March 3, 2010 - Sandvine, (TSX:SVC; AIM:SAND) a leading
provider of intelligent broadband network solutions for cable, DSL, FTTx, fixed
wireless and mobile operators, today announced that it has won six new service
provider customers.

Three of the customers are DSL service providers, two are cable network
operators and one is a mobile broadband service provider. Five of Sandvine's new
customers come from the rapidly growing Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA)
region, and one from the Asia Pacific region. One of the DSL customers is a
tier-one service provider, which Sandvine defines as an operator with over one
million broadband customers. The mobile operator adds to the still-growing list
of Sandvine customers that belong to a single global DSL and mobile service
provider group.

"Infonetics Research recently named Sandvine as the clear market share leader in
our space. This success is a direct result of consistently winning several new
customers globally each quarter," said Dave Caputo, Sandvine's president and
chief executive officer. "For the last couple of years service providers from
EMEA have been the largest source of requests for proposal for our solutions. We
continue to see positive results from that work."

Impressive set of figures, it looks as though their home market has bounced back also.

Could add to organic growth with a few acquisitions given their cash balance ($85.6m)

Just broken through a significant resistance level here - interesting to see how this now moves...

black - exactly...which is why I ignore the 30-day rule. I figure if they can work out that I've ignored it I'll observe it. I make exceptions for trades over the tax year end (for which it was intended).

I hope everyone knows there's a neat way to shift capital gains using 30-day rule and etf's.

On a day towards end of tax year buy a short and long etf at same time. Next day sell both. Within 30 days, and into next tax year, buy back the one that has gone up the most. This creates a loss in the previous tax year as the new cost base for the orignal purchase is the new price. You then have a position in an ETF to manage but unless neither EFT has moved in the 30-days you will roll some CGT into the next year. Barmy but legal.

Definitely following, and pleased to see the movement since I topped up at 80p, as Techinvest were still keen.

Then....

You want the price to be above the moving averge, so moving average minus price has to be negative.

To do that make sure the right hand box is -0.1 and set the left hand box to whatever number works for you. BA. gives nice signal when left box set at 4%.

To get rid of some of the rubbish you can play around by adding additional filters that say that you want price to be above the 200 5 days ago and 10 ago or whatever.

Have fun.

OEX? Ug. Horrible. Can't trade a news share using charts and divergence not really in yet. It could turn and bite you in the proverbial.

Hope back recovering.

Solar power from Sahara a step closerThe German-led Desertec initiative believes it can deliver power to Europe as early as 2015

The technology is not new - it is the scale of the Desertec initiative which is a first

A $400bn (£240bn) plan to provide Europe with solar power from the Sahara moved a step closer to reality today with the formation of a consortium of 12 companies to carry out the work.

The Desertec Industrial Initiative (DII) aims to provide 15% of Europe's electricity by 2050 or earlier via power lines stretching across the desert and Mediterranean sea.

The German-led consortium was brought together by Munich Re, the world's biggest reinsurer, and consists of some of country's biggest engineering and power companies, including Siemens, E.ON, ABB and Deutsche Bank.

It now believes the DII can deliver solar power to Europe as early as 2015.

"We have now passed a real milestone as the company has been founded and there is definitely a profitable business there," said Professor Peter Höppe, Munich Re's head of climate change.

"We see this as a big step towards solving the two main problems facing the world in the coming years - climate change and energy security," said Höppe.

The solar technology involved is known as concentrated solar power (CSP) which uses mirrors to concentrate the sun's rays on a fluid container. The super-heated liquid then drives turbines to generate electricity. The advantage over solar photovoltaic panels, which convert sunlight directly to electricity, is that if sufficient hot fluid is stored in containers, the generators can run all night.

The technology is not new - there have been CSP plants running in the deserts of California and Nevada for two decades. But it is the scale of the Desertec initiative which is a first, along with plans to connect North Africa to Europe with new high voltage direct current cables which transport electricity over great distances with little loss.

Leading European energy industry expert Paul van Son has been appointed chief executive of DII and will recruit staff to build up a framework to make the building of both power plants and the grid infrastructure.

"We recognise and strongly support the Desertec vision as a pivotal part of the transition to a sustainable energy supply in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe," he said.

"Now the time has come to turn this vision into reality. That implies intensive cooperation with many parties and cultures to create a sound basis for feasible investments into renewable energy technologies and interconnected grids."

Desertec has gained broad support across Europe, with the newly elected German coalition government of Angela Merkel hoping the project could offset its dependence on Russian gas supplies.

North African governments are said to be keen, too, to further exploit their natural resources. Algeria and Libya are already big oil and gas suppliers to Europe.

Höppe said Munich Re had been concerned about the potential impact of climate change on the insurance business since the early 1970s. Extreme weather events related to climate change are already a reality and have the potential to be uninsurable against within a few decades, pointing to a possible crisis for the industry, he said.

"To keep our business model alive in 30 or 40 years we have to ensure things are still insurable," he said.

Munich Re also plans to invest in the new initiative and Höppe said banks were confident that they could raise sufficient funding to make the project work.

There are already some small CSP plants in Spain and North Africa, with the power used locally. But Desertec plans to see big power stations of one gigawatt operating in five years' time and exporting some current across the Mediterranean. The consortium stresses, though, that power generated by solar fields in North Africa would be used by North Africans as well as Europeans. North Africa has a small population relative to the size of its deserts. For similar reasons Australia is putting together its own Desertec initiative.

Dan Lewis, head of a new thinktank, the Economic Policy Centre, and author of a forthcoming energy policy paper, said: "This is just the sort of long-term, big-difference, energy security gain project that our UK short-term targets and policy framework can't deliver.

"Instead, we're spending ridiculous sums on no-hoper, marginal stuff like fusion energy and a massive smart meter rollout, that at best will only shave a fraction off peak demand."

after an email to Rick wadsworth

our email below was forwarded to me. For competitive reasons we don't disclose dollar amounts of contracts – never have. Unfortunately, our customers also typically require that we don't identify them – one of their concerns is based on the potential security threats if folks know what equipment is installed in their networks.
