KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 (Bernama) -- Icomera, a wholly owned subsidiary of Equans and the provider of integrated connectivity solutions for public transport, has launched its new X7 router.
The new router is a gateway to a powerful centralised connectivity platform, supporting multiple, resource-intensive applications including Passenger Wi-Fi, Onboard Infotainment, and Digital Video Surveillance & Analytics. Icomera Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder, Mats Karlsson said one or multiple X7 units can be installed on a single vehicle or train consist. “By distributing network traffic between two routers, load balancing helps ensure optimised performance, while redundancy adds further resiliency to an onboard connectivity solution,” he said in a statement. Meanwhile, its Chief Commercial Officer, Roger Matthews said: “The X7 delivers exceptional speed, storage and performance for both operational and passenger-focused services, ushering in a new era of cutting-edge connected applications.” The X7 utilises SureWAN, Icomera’s industry-leading connectivity technology protocol for intelligently aggregating multiple communication technologies include 5G, 4G, satellite and trackside networks, in parallel, to ensure the fastest, most reliable connection available to a moving vehicle. The router will be available in various models at launch, each optimised to meet specific business requirements for digital video surveillance deployments; operating as an access point to provide high-quality passenger Wi-Fi; and contains up to five 5G modems for industry-leading connectivity. By leveraging the increased throughput and reduced latency that Wi-Fi 7 offers, the new access point will facilitate faster and more reliable web browsing, streaming, downloads, and video conferencing for passengers, allowing them to stay connected more effortlessly while travelling. -- BERNAMA New Devices Feature Newer BiCS FLASH™ 3D Flash Memory, Improved Read and Write Performance
TOKYO, Sept 27 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced sampling[¹] of new, higher performing JEDEC e-MMC Ver. 5.1[²]-compliant embedded flash memory products for consumer applications. The new products integrate a newer version of the company’s BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory[³] and a controller in a single package, reducing processor workload and improving ease of use. Both 64 and 128 gigabytes (GB) products will be available. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230924118996/en/ As the market continues to shift to UFS[⁴], there are cases where e-MMC may still be used. This includes consumer products with mid-range storage requirements such as tablets, personal computers, point of sale devices and other portable handheld devices, as well as smart TVs and smart NICs. Kioxia continues to reinforce its market-leading position by delivering a broad, high-performance product lineup and expanding the available options for these applications. The new Kioxia devices improve sequential and random write performance by approximately 2.5x and random read performance by approximately 2.7x over previous generation devices[³]. Additionally, terabytes written (TBW)[₅] is improved by approximately 3.3x over previous generation devices, in correspondence with an enhanced area setting[⁶] for whole e-MMC area. Kioxia is now sampling its next-generation e-MMC devices, with mass production expected in spring of 2024. Notes: [1]: The company’s newest devices are supported in two capacities: 64 gigabytes (GB) and 128GB. Sample shipments of the 64GB device began this month, with the 128GB device scheduled to follow after October. Specification of the samples may differ from commercial products. [2]: e-MMC (embedded Multi Media Card): One of standard specifications of embedded flash memory defined by JEDEC. The new product supports the command queuing and secure write protection functions which is specified as an option in JEDEC Ver. 5.1. [3]: Compared to Kioxia’s previous generation devices "THGAMSG9T24BAIL", "THGAMST0T24BAIL". [4]: Universal Flash Storage (UFS) is a product category for a class of embedded memory products built to the JEDEC UFS standard specification. Due to its serial interface, UFS supports full duplexing, which enables both concurrent reading and writing between the host processor and UFS device. [5]: TBW or Terabytes Written measures how many cumulative writes that a drive can expect to complete over its lifespan. [6]: If Enhanced Area is set, the total configurable consumer-usable capacity will be reduced. Read, write speeds and TBW are the best values obtained in a specific test environment at Kioxia and Kioxia warrants neither read nor write speeds nor TBW in individual devices. Read, write speed and TBW may vary depending on device used and file size read or written. In every mention of a Kioxia product: Product density is identified based on the density of memory chip(s) within the Product, not the amount of memory capacity available for data storage by the end user. Consumer-usable capacity will be less due to overhead data areas, formatting, bad blocks, and other constraints, and may also vary based on the host device and application. For details, please refer to applicable product specifications. The definition of 1KB = 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes. The definition of 1Gb = 2^30 bits = 1,073,741,824 bits. The definition of 1GB = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes. 1Tb = 2^40 bits = 1,099,511,627,776 bits. Company names, product names and service names may be trademarks of third party companies.

(NYSE: NET), the leading connectivity cloud company, today released a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting that underscores companies’ growing need to connect everything in their business, while maintaining control over their security, productivity, and competitive growth. To help the industry address this emerging challenge, today Cloudflare is introducing the concept of the connectivity cloud – a unified platform of cloud-native services designed to help enterprises regain control over their increasingly complex and sprawling technology and data. “Today, the big clouds have built business models on capturing your data, making it hard to move your data. These captivity clouds will lure you in with one product, and make it near impossible to mix and match competitive offerings across the cloud space,” said Matthew Prince, CEO, Cloudflare. “Cloudflare offers an alternative: the connectivity cloud. Fundamentally, we are a network that makes it easy for you to connect and protect everything. We sit atop everything else and connect anything that’s online — whether it’s a cloud, a device, a database, or on-premises hardware — so businesses can escape the grasp of the cloud captors.” Organizations Are Losing Control Over Their IT and Security Environments In the last several years, organizations across the globe have seen a dramatic increase in the adoption of more applications, often SaaS-based, to help teams efficiently and collaboratively operate in a hybrid work environment. However, this has introduced new risks and challenges and led nearly 40% of organizations to agree or strongly agree that they are losing control over their IT and security environments. Specifically, organizations ranked the top four factors that are contributing to the overall loss of control as an increase in the overall number of applications (66%), an increase in locations for applications (62%), the shift from on premise to cloud (54%), and the shift to remote/hybrid workforces (49%). New and More Complex Responsibilities Are Burdening Today’s IT and Security Teams IT and Security teams are now tasked with responsibilities to remain productive and compliant while managing an increasingly complex landscape — and a third of organizations say these new responsibilities weren’t in their purview five years ago. For instance, 52% of IT and security teams were not responsible for ensuring security for all in-office, remote or hybrid workers five years ago, but are today. What’s more, greater than 40% are also now responsible for managing and securing applications in public cloud environments or managing and securing data in SaaS environments, despite not owning these areas five years ago. These tasks are also becoming harder since 2020, with 30% of teams noting that managing and securing both public cloud environments, and data in SaaS environments, is significantly more complex today than ever before. Ignoring the Challenges of Today’s Changing Landscape Will Have Real Business Impact IT and security leaders see their major challenges revolving around managing a growing business landscape while ensuring their team remains productive and secure. Nearly 50% of organizations see the growing number and types of users — spanning human, machine, and third party — as one of their top five challenges they face today. The top five challenges also include the difficulty of maintaining or improving their team’s productivity (44%) and addressing growing attack surface areas (44%). If not adequately addressed, these challenges are expected to have a direct impact on the customer experience, productivity, and their organization’s competitive advantage. A Connectivity Cloud Can Help with Digital Transformation, While Decreasing Risk and Increasing Productivity 98% of organizations agree that today’s businesses would gain value from a connectivity cloud that provides secure, performant, “any-to-any” connectivity (i.e., connectivity between more people, apps, data, devices, networks, and clouds) more now than ever before. Nearly half of respondents believe this type of solution would accelerate digital transformation, while reducing attack surface area. 58% of leaders also believe this solution would increase productivity, 54% see it improving time to market, and 54% of businesses believe it would grow overall revenue. Methodology In September 2023, Cloudflare commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate the IT and security ecosystem. Forrester conducted an online survey with 449 IT decision makers across North America, Europe, APAC, and Latin America.
