The Exceptional Women Awardees Foundation (EWA, Los Angeles CA) today announced that after interviews with multiple candidates Kirsten Curtis, COO of Redacted, has been selected to participate in their Cohort of Women Leaders in the January 2020 EWA Program.

With over a decade of experience leading complex and strategic initiatives, Kirsten Curtis’ career journey has not been a straight path. She has taken on significant challenges and overcome them especially in the Supply Chain arena, then moving into senior leadership in complex operations and from there into Private Equity,” commented Larraine Segil, Chair and CEO of The Exceptional Women Awardees Foundation. ” Her new challenge is with a portfolio company, where her role is to leverage on the existing technology and company talents to add value, transforming the company into a growth engine. We are delighted to welcome her into EWA, to provide her with the insights and support that our network of over 35 industry leaders can offer.”

They recognize that in cyber security one solution does not fit all. They collaborate with the customer to prioritize their business needs to ensure that the customer succeeds with the most relevant security controls. Doing the right thing is in their history. Empowering their clients is in their DNA.

ThinkRF Surveillance System

ThinkRF Surveillance System for Continuous in Place Monitoring

Surveillance professionals need an integrated solution which detects hostile signals, monitoring the signal of interest for further analysis, and locating the source of the signal… This is what we’re providing with our new fully-integrated ThinkRF Surveillance System.


OTTAWA, Ontario (PRWEB)

ThinkRF Corp., the leader in software-defined spectrum analysis, today announced the launch of the ThinkRF Surveillance System for in place monitoring and bug detection to secure facilities or to understand channel utilization for dynamic signal allocation. The complete surveillance system allows government agencies and enterprises to locate unauthorized RF signals more quickly and cost-effectively, even in difficult indoor environments, such as large corporate office buildings, government facilities, and other secure locations.

The system is comprised of a ThinkRF R5x50 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer, combined with the Kestrel Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) Professional Software, as well as omni-directional or optional directional antennae, and all other required equipment in an easily transportable case. The fully integrated, networkable system can be deployed in multiple locations on premise or in the field to provide greater coverage and increased functionality, for 24/7 in-place monitoring and real-time alerts.

“Today’s bugs are able to record and transmit high quality audio and video while being small enough to be hidden in common objects,” said Dr. Jasvinder Obhi, VP, Product Management and Marketing, ThinkRF. “To make matters worse, many bugs now transmit signals intermittently, at low power, and at various frequencies. These factors combine to make these devices very difficult to detect. Surveillance professionals need an integrated solution which detects hostile signals, monitoring the signal of interest for further analysis, and locating the source of the signal for removal or channel reallocation. This is what we’re providing with our new fully-integrated ThinkRF Surveillance System.”

“Thanks to this complete surveillance solution, TSCM professionals can go beyond traditional bug sweeps and ensure the security of the facilities they operate in,” said Paul Turner, CEO, Professional Development TSCM Group (PDTG). “The powerful solution from PDTG and ThinkRF means they can detect, locate, and remove illegal bugs faster, protecting confidential transactions, intellectual property, and ensuring our national security.”

The complete, cost-effective ThinkRF Surveillance System provides greater coverage and increased functionality due to the compact, networkable, and portable ThinkRF Spectrum Analyzer. With a fast sweep speed, a frequency range of up to 27 GHz, and real-time bandwidth of 100 MHz, it can detect short duration, low powered, and intermittent signals. By integrating with the Kestrel TSCM Professional Software, the always-on system offers advanced, real-time triggering and alerts so users know when an unauthorized signal appears, and the software allows for source determination. Traditional bug sweeping techniques can then be used to locate the device and disable it, or the information can be used for dynamic channel allocation.

About ThinkRF

ThinkRF is the leader in software-defined spectrum analysis platforms that monitor, detect and analyze complex waveforms in today’s rapidly evolving wireless landscape. By providing more flexibility, greater coverage, increased functionality and better ROI, ThinkRF solutions are ideal for regulatory and intelligence monitoring, telecom deployment optimization and RF application development.

Calusa Recovery Provides Luxury Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab For Men

Leave a comment


calusa recovery logo


FORT MYERS, Fla. (PRWEB)

With camaraderie and community at the heart of its services, Calusa Recovery goes the extra mile to help men overcome addiction.

As a luxury drug and alcohol rehab center, it offers plush surroundings and a range of additional benefits to its clients. From a personal case manager to adventure therapy sessions and psychoeducational groups, Calusa is treating the entire person rather than just focusing on one facet of addiction.

Keep Living Life While Attending Outpatient Rehab

It’s integral that those who have recently completed a residential rehab program continue to receive care. Stepping down first to intensive outpatient and then to general outpatient treatment enables people who are healing to continue the ongoing process of recovery while getting back into work or education. Calusa’s unique offering has programs that start at three months and range up to six months, progressively phasing down in intensity to suit the needs of the client.

Each person who enrolls in one of its programs has a customized care plan drafted to suit their particular needs. Clients are given an in-depth personality test that enables the doctors, therapists and case managers to create a program that meets their needs and targets long-term recovery. Everyone has a different background, learning style and trigger points; by getting to know the individual, the team can match them with the therapy and education that’s best for them.

Support for the Sufferer and Their Family

Calusa Recovery understands the vital role families play in the healing process of a man who has been suffering from an addiction. As a disease, it has a domino effect on the interpersonal relationships of the sufferer. Often, loved ones can benefit from therapy, too. It helps them to understand better what their spouse, son, sibling or parent is going through and facilitates constructive communication.

Once your course of treatment is finished, the recovery process is ongoing. Ensuring healthy boundaries and a structured plan are in place is integral. Family members also suffer when someone they love is addicted, so giving them care and support helps strengthen the bonds that are so essential for sustained recovery.

The Importance of Community

This men’s addiction treatment center stands out from standard rehab centers because it goes above and beyond to ensure the staff and the clients have a meaningful relationship that is developed inside and outside the clinical office. Attendees will also find a ready-made support network in their peers. All of the other men in treatment with you can empathize with you on some level and offer exactly the support you need while you get better.

Live Life to the Fullest With Experiential Therapy

Calusa Recovery is proud to provide an industry-leading adventure therapy program to each client at no additional charge. Drug and alcohol addiction damages the daily life of the person who is going through it. Reintroducing routine is a critical aspect of recovery, but learning how to have fun again without drugs is equally essential.

Experiential therapy gives clients the chance to rediscover healthy pastimes while allowing them to form strong bonds with other men who are taking part in the program.

Men who are looking for outpatient rehab that tailors treatment to their individual needs should look no further than Calusa Recovery. Gender-targeted treatment, the involvement of family, adventure therapy, personality testing and beautiful surroundings elevate its offerings above other drug and alcohol rehab.

Vya Unveils Fresh User Experience for Its Marketing Resource Management Systems

Leave a comment


New UX for Vya’s Marketing Resource Management Systems

New UX for Vya’s Marketing Resource Management Systems

Clients look to Vya to help them manage their marketing assets and deploy campaigns as efficiently as possible, across many locations. This new user experience for our MRM systems is designed with their input and interests in mind, and demonstrates our commitment to making their busy jobs easier.


CINCINNATI (PRWEB)

Vya, a leading provider of simplified marketing execution for distributed organizations, today unveiled a new user experience for its marketing resource management systems. The updated UX offers a clean and simplified view, with the most used resources prominently featured, making it easier than ever for clients to quickly find what they need, so they can carry on with their busy work day.

Vya’s MRM systems help multi-location businesses, like franchises, financial services and banks, manufacturers and insurance companies, efficiently implement local marketing campaigns, while maintaining control of messaging and streamlining marketing workflow.

“Our clients look to Vya to help them manage their marketing assets and deploy campaigns as efficiently as possible, across many locations,” said Kandi O’Connor, COO, Vya. “This new user experience for our MRM systems is designed with their input and interests in mind, and demonstrates our commitment to making their complex and busy jobs easier.”

The new UX was developed in partnership with a best-in-class UX research and design firm, and incorporates input from experienced and casual users alike, across industries and organizations, including large and small companies. The design, which was validated by users throughout the process, takes cues from leading e-commerce sites, but differs from those models, which are often designed for lingering and discovery. In contrast, the Vya site helps users quickly find what they need and get on with their busy day, affirming Vya’s mission.

Key features include:

  • Redesigned home page with modern look and feel that is focused on clients’ immediate priorities, with high-usage items up front and fewer clicks required to get to resources. Less important items were removed from the home page, enabling the most important resources to command prominence, resulting in quicker access.

  • Improved search functionality is faster and smarter, enabling users to efficiently get to the information and resources they want.

  • Helpful Links are customizable shortcuts to resources within or outside the Vya system, and are configured without any development involvement.

“Common client needs across the Vya system served as the basis of our new design,” said Jeff Amfahr, Director of Development for Vya. “We also included customizability to address the unique needs of each client, such as the new ‘helpful links’ feature, which makes it easy to create shortcuts to an organization’s most in-demand assets and information, within and outside the Vya system – without the involvement of development.”

The new UX was recently rolled out to all current Vya clients, and the transition has been exceptionally smooth, owing to the intuitive design and the support of helpful training resources, including video- and webinar-based training, and “guided journey” hints that are served to users when they log in for the first time. Users have expressed particular delight over the refreshed look and feel of the site across devices, its simplified navigation and search capabilities, and the new customizable “helpful links” feature.

Leave a comment


LM55P4 Razor-Narrow Bezel LCD Monitor

“In mission-critical situations, whether that’s monitoring the flow of street or aviation traffic or operating intricate surveillance security details in command posts and law enforcement operations centers, the LM55P4 can be configured to match your needs.” Josue Murillo, Product Manager


CYPRESS, Calif. (PRWEB)

Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc. Visual and Imaging Systems Division announced today that it is now shipping the LM55P4 razor narrow bezel LCD monitors designed for utility, security, and other mission-critical control room applications. The division’s team will also demo the LM55P4’s capabilities at Distributech in San Antonio, TX, Jan. 28-30, 2020, and will live-Tweet during the event using the official Distributech hashtag #DTech2020.

“These razor-narrow bezel LCDs are specifically engineered for 24/7 operation to address the needs of demanding mission-critical environments showing dynamic content with great image quality and unparalleled lifetime performance,” said Josue Murillo, Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc. Visual & Imaging Systems Division Product Manager.

The razor narrow bezel LM55P4 monitors are rugged LCD panels for heavy use in commercial applications. Users can build individual or tiled video wall configurations and create large displays for large visualization applications. The LM55P4 55” displays have an operational lifespan of up to 100,000 hours, delivering Full HD resolution and 700 cd/m2 of brightness. With a razor-narrow bezel as thin as 0.44 millimeters, the image-to-image gap between the monitors is virtually seamless when placed in an array. These monitors also offer flexible and easy mounting installations in landscape or portrait mode.

“The LM55P4 monitors are as versatile as the demanding content you create or display,” Murillo said. “In mission-critical situations, whether that’s monitoring the flow of street or aviation traffic or operating intricate surveillance security details in command posts and law enforcement operations centers, the LM55P4 can be configured to match your needs.”

The LM55P4 razor-narrow bezel is designed for control rooms requiring a cost-effective visualization solution that delivers high quality, 24/7 performance with high reliability, and low cost of ownership. The LM55P4 is the perfect solution for video wall systems where high-resolution images need to be viewed across an entire video wall display. Its reverse scan feature reverses the direction of the image to play enlarged videos smoothly within multiple displays such as surveillance, process, or traffic monitoring operations.

A built-in Display Port™ 1.2a input terminal allows individual displays to be daisy-chained via a standard Display Port cable to create displays of up to 5 x 5 configuration with no external processing required. Additional versatility is offered by a built-in OPS slot and optional VC-LM1HD card; this supports HDCP long-distance transmission of up to 100m when using the CAT5e cable. The new LM55P4 video wall system joins an impressive line-up of control room display solutions, which includes a wide selection of high-end rear projection DLP™ cubes, direct view LED, UHD large-format LCD monitors, and both hardware and software-based screen controllers.

The LM55P3, extreme narrow bezel models will continue to be available in parallel with the new LM55P4, offering value-based entry models for projects with more restricted budgets.
