Heilind Electronics, a leading global distributor of electronic components and authorized distributor for TE Connectivity (TE), a global leader in connectivity and sensors, introduces TE Connectivity’s LUMAWISE Endurance S Connector System — an ecosystem of products designed for sensor modules and other control system applications.

The sensor-ready components of the LUMAWISE offer all the original Endurance S benefits, along with expanded electrical ratings and alternate key combinations for protected mating. The solution helps to reduce the complexity of street lighting architecture by removing the need for auxiliary modules and associated wiring.

TE’s LUMAWISE Endurance S is comprised of a standardized Zhaga-certified, sensor-ready interface between the receptacle and module base or ceiling cap. One of the key features of the item is its improved sealing when compared to other systems: The IP66-rated receptacle assembly extends the product life in harsh environments, while the base and dome combinations provide a sealed electrical interface and robust packaging solution.

A simple push-and-twist lock feature allows the product to be installed quickly and easily without the use of special tools and with just one hand. The connectors can be exchanged and upgraded in only a few seconds, without the need to electrically isolate the lighting pole.

The LUMAWISE features a compact design that is not only UV-resistant, but also visually appealing. The product also offers industry-standard assembly and multiple mounting options for design flexibility.

Best suited for LED light sources and drivers in outdoor luminaires, TE’s LUMAWISE Endurance S Connector System responds to the need for greater flexibility and connectivity in luminaire design and street lighting architecture.

EEENEW debuts APC, an Android/Apple Phone Computer, the world’s first hot-swap smartphone and Windows tablet


The 1st tablet can be touchscreen monitor and standalone PC!

APC supports any Type-C or HDMI devices. Turn smartphone into real tablet/laptop. Full desktop experience.

Full compatible Samsung DeX, Huawei, OnePlus, TNT, iPhone, LG, Asus, Windows/Linux.

APC, the world’s first smartphone & Windows tablet revealed!

APC stands for : Android/Apple Phone Computer

Nowadays, daily smartphone usage is highly frequent and important, which will boost mobility computing rapid demands in the coming years. Many smartphone users are eager for a versatile desktop-mode for their multi-window or multi-task usage to replace heavy computers when on-the-go. It means smartphones becoming mobile computers is coming true. Like Samsung DeX or Android Q onward smartphone OS, users are ready for smartphone desktop-mode usage.

In the past, a conventional laptop/tablet’s screen, keyboard, and mouse touchpad were only used for itself, not for external mobile devices or smartphones. A company called EEENEW thoroughly built a new type of tablet, which can be hot-swapped between smartphone desktop-mode and PC Windows mode. Hot-swap in the same tablet, name it APC+, stands for Android/Apple Phone Computer. APC+ also represents Advanced Phone Computer or Advanced Personal Computer. It has built-in Windows and smartphone desktop mode switchable hardware. That’s truly convenient for work efficiency or smartphone gaming on-the-go.

Before the APC was introduced to the world, the traditional way to use a smartphone desktop-mode was to connect a smartphone to a dock, an external monitor, and a keyboard mouse. It needed many peripheral connections, and it was not possible to hot-swap between smartphone desktop-mode and PC mode. Since the rise of APC, that awkward has changed, the tablet’s touchscreen and keyboard mouse touchpad can be used for the smartphone or Windows side upon user request.


  • Turn Android smartphone into desktop mode, a full desktop experience with the built-in fingerprint keyboard, mouse touchpad and touchscreen
  • Standalone tablet PC that is switchable between Windows10 PC mode & smartphone desktop-mode
  • No need to carry a Windows laptop or monitor for your smartphone at the same time – now they are all combined into an APC tablet
  • APC can be a portable touchscreen monitor for your laptop via USB-C or HDMI
  • Support Samsung DeX, Huawei PC mode, Android, TNT, MacBook, PS4 / XBOX / Nintendo Switch and Windows10 PC
  • No latency and no lag when using desktop mode for Android – it’s purely an external touchscreen for your smartphone
  • 13.3 inches, 1080P, touchscreen; flexible viewing angle/rotatable
  • Upward scalable, newer Android smartphone compatible; lightweight, compact, portable, all-in-one

Unlike other counterfeit products, APC provides a real desktop-mode for smartphones and has video-in USB-C and HDMI ports. APC+ provides a true tablet PC inside. Fully compatible with Nintendo Switch, Samsung DeX, EMUI, OnePlus, TNT, Windows10, Linux, LG, and Asus smartphones – all work in APC tablet!

APC will change the computer world history. The APC has hardware hot-swap for smartphones to become the desktop computer, built-in Intel & Windows. APC is a super-efficient tablet for computer and smartphone users.

FOLIO Libraries Announcing Implementations and Timelines as the Open Source Library Platform Nears Significant Milestone


News Image

Being able to test FOLIO extensively in a real-world environment has helped direct development and demonstrates the viability of this innovation-driven open source library services platform.

Libraries around the world are beginning to implement FOLIO, the open source Library Services Platform (LSP), as it approaches a named release that signals a significant achievement in the development of initial apps, features and functionality.

The open source project, which leverages expertise from libraries, developers and service providers, is building a fully functional open source LSP that is being implemented around the world. The Goldenrod Release, coming in mid-July, includes additional functionality that will allow more libraries to move to FOLIO from their current, traditional Integrated Library System (ILS) or LSPs.

Institutions of all sizes have been implementing FOLIO since last year. These libraries represent a wide range of collection sizes and students, faculty and researchers and demonstrate that FOLIO makes open source a viable alternative for institutions of all sizes. Sites live or going live have collections that range between 61,000 to 5.5 million bibliographic records and serve between 2,300 and nearly 50,000 users.

Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden went live in 2019 as the first library using FOLIO. Missouri State University was the first academic institution in the United States to go live with FOLIO and Simmons University, Warner University, St. Thomas University and Washington & Jefferson College have now fully implemented FOLIO.

The University of Alabama is planning its implementation by the end of 2020. University of Alabama Dean of Libraries Don Gilstrap says, as an original EBSCO beta development partner, the University of Alabama has played a leading role in design and testing at the scale required to develop the features and functionalities for large, working research libraries. “Being able to test FOLIO extensively in a real-world environment has helped direct development and demonstrates the viability of this innovation-driven open source library services platform. As the University of Alabama development team prepares to implement FOLIO, it is gratifying to know that we do it as an institution that has provided actionable information to both EBSCO and to the FOLIO Community, as well to the open source community at large.”

Several libraries have also chosen to implement the Electronic Resource Management (ERM) apps in FOLIO. GBV network library ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics Kiel/Hamburg has been live with FOLIO ERM since May 2020. Leipzig University Library is also currently live with ERM. Leipzig University Library Deputy Head of IT Bjӧrn Muschall says the university’s staged implementation approach aligns with its mission and focus. “By focusing on the portion of the system that is live, we are able to see the benefits of implementing a system that prizes open source technology and features and functionality designed to grow with our institution.” Muschall says Leipzig University Library contributed its own developer resources to the FOLIO project and contributed to the overall functionality. “By creating an app and developing for FOLIO, we increased the sustainability of our own investments.”

Lehigh University is preparing for a full FOLIO implementation in August 2020. Lehigh’s University Librarian Boaz Nadav-Manes says Lehigh’s move to FOLIO represents the next step in its deep commitment to open source and community-driven solutions. “As long-term members of the FOLIO and OLE Communities, we are very excited to be one of the first libraries to fully implement FOLIO and to work with others to enable and lead additional innovation as FOLIO continues its natural development process.” Lehigh is currently loading records directly into a single tenant environment in preparation for its implementation date.

Additional sites will be moving to FOLIO in stages. The Five Colleges: Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College and The University of Massachusetts/Amherst are also EBSCO beta partners and will be implementing ERM this summer. Duke University will be implementing FOLIO ERM this summer and Cornell University, which is currently leveraging the FOLIO ERM, plans to move to the FOLIO LSP in 2021. Texas A&M University will implement FOLIO based on features expected by mid-2021.

Libraries are also choosing how to implement and host FOLIO. Chalmers, Missouri State University, Cornell and University of Alabama are using EBSCO FOLIO Services for implementation, hosting and services. ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics Kiel/Hamburg is being hosted by its library network headquarter VZG|GBV. Simmons University, Duke University and Lehigh University are among the libraries using hosting and services from Index Data. Warner University, St. Thomas University and Washington & Jefferson College are using services from ByWater Solutions. Leipzig University and Texas A&M University are self-hosting.

FOLIO is an open community and details about the releases and future plans can be found at https://wiki.folio.org

About FOLIO

FOLIO is a collaborative effort among libraries, vendors, developers and consortia that leverages open source technology and a community-based effort to redefine library services and innovate based on library futures. By building on what libraries need and by leveraging library expertise as well as vendor capacity and velocity, FOLIO is designed to move libraries forward, build on the services they provide and redefine the role libraries play within their institution. FOLIO also levels the playing field and makes open source technology available to all institutions regardless of size or staffing. FOLIO brings vendors together to innovate and host services for customers and introduces open source as a service to libraries.

Mobile Solutions Releases Android as a Mobile Hotspot to Provide Control of Delivering Internet Remotely


Android as a Mobile Hotspot

Android as a Mobile Hotspot

We are living in a time of remote work and school. Organizations need solutions that enable their end users without sacrificing control and manageability. We’re excited to introduce Android as a Mobile Hotspot to meet those needs and continue growing our managed mobile offering.

Mobile Solutions is excited to announce their newest innovative solution, Android as a Mobile Hotspot. With the influx of working remotely, businesses are looking for solutions that will enable end users and allow them to maintain control. Basic mobile hotspots, used to deliver internet to remote locations or workers, lack manageability in terms of locating and remote configuration by administrators. This can leave valuable mobile endpoints vulnerable.

Hotspot devices make it easy to stay connected during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has resulted in a huge spike in demand for hotspot devices and unfortunately, this means that for many organizations, hotspots are no longer available. Mobile Solutions’ Android as a Mobile Hotspot facilitates streamlined internet access via Android devices that are locked down to kiosk hotspot mode. This solution enables organizations to provide remote working and schools to provide distance learning with ease.

Android as a Mobile Hotspot further adds to Mobile Solutions Managed Mobility Services, providing organizations with greater control of their mobile endpoints. Android devices when configured as managed mobile hotspots can provide a company administrator with:


  • Location tracking – know where your devices are located at all times.
  • Remote WiFi configuration – such as WiFi SSID/Network Name, passcode.
  • Secure control – easily block these devices from being used as hotspots, without suspending or cancelling service, allowing the device to remain manageable.

“We are living in a time of remote work and school. Organizations need solutions that enable their end users without sacrificing control and manageability. We’re excited to introduce Android as a Mobile Hotspot to meet those needs and continue growing our managed mobile offering.” – Jim Johnson, Co-Founder and CEO

About Mobile Solutions

Mobile Solutions is an award-winning SaaS company that provides a complete managed mobility practice. We make it easy for our clients to secure mobile endpoints, reduce data consumption, optimize IT spend, and simplify the management of their entire fleet of devices.
