Hemisphere GNSS Introduces Next-Generation R620 GNSS Receiver


“With its all-new design and feature set, the R620 GNSS receiver is Hemisphere’s offering to what the market desires ― smaller machine, lower cost, and less power,” said Miles Ware, Director of Marketing at Hemisphere

Today, at the INTERGEO expo and conference in Stuttgart, Germany and the ION GNSS+ conference in Miami, FL, USA, Hemisphere GNSS introduces the next-generation R620 GNSS receiver, a compact, versatile, and full-featured positioning system. The wide range of functionality and ease-of-use built into the R620 makes it an ideal fit for a variety of land and marine applications requiring high-precision positioning.

The R620 GNSS receiver is a complete refresh of the previous version (R330) and includes an all-new low-profile ruggedized enclosure. With the flexibility and scalability offered within the R620 system, customers can start with sub-meter positioning accuracy and upgrade the receiver (through activations and subscriptions) to add functionality and improve performance capability to centimeter-level accuracy.

Powered by the all-new Vega™ series, the R620 GNSS receiver processes and supports over 1,100 channels and offers flexible and scalable simultaneous tracking of every modern and planned GNSS constellation and signal including GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou (including Phase 3), Galileo, QZSS, IRNSS, SBAS, and Atlas® L-band. The Vega series is powered by Hemisphere’s recently announced next-generation Lyra™ II digital ASIC, Aquila™ wideband RF ASIC, and Cygnus™ interference mitigation technology.

The R620 combines Hemisphere’s Athena™ GNSS engine and Atlas L-band correction technologies with status LEDs and a powerful WebUI. These features make the R620 easy to monitor, configure, and offer an unparalleled level of customer-friendly performance.

The R620 comes equipped with UHF (400 MHz and 900 MHz) radio, cellular modem, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, making wireless communications and connectivity easy to use. Ethernet (including Power over Ethernet), CAN, Serial, and USB also elevate the system’s capabilities.

“With its all-new design and feature set, the R620 GNSS receiver is Hemisphere’s offering to what the market desires ― smaller machine, lower cost, and less power,” said Miles Ware, director of marketing at Hemisphere, “the receiver boasts a feature- and performance-packed combination of greater performance, improved robustness, and excellent value.”

With Athena GNSS engine, the R620 provides best-in-class, centimeter-level RTK. Athena excels in virtually every environment where high-accuracy GNSS receivers can be used. Tested and proven, Athena’s performance with long baselines, in open-sky environments, under heavy canopy, and in geographic locations experiencing significant scintillation is nothing short of cutting-edge.

The R620 GNSS receiver is featured by Hemisphere at INTERGEO in Stuttgart, Germany from September 17 through 19, 2019 (hall 3, booth C3.030) and at ION GNSS+ in Miami, FL, USA from September 18 through 19, 2019 (booth 411).

Veego Gives Eyes to ISPs, Enabling Automatic Detection and Repair of Smart Home Problems


Veego Logo

Veego.io

Veego, an Israel-based startup bringing artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies to perfect the customer experience in the smart home, today announced a breakthrough capability that continuously monitors the behavior of devices and services, and autonomously detects, analyzes and resolves malfunctions as they occur.

Although the smart home market is growing rapidly, it is in disarray. Unlike any other market, home users independently buy and install countless types of smart devices and consume a wide variety of services, mainly through their internet routers. Today, the typical home contains a dozen smart devices. According to IDC Worldwide Quarterly Smart Home Device Tracker, in only three years, that number is expected to double.

Hundreds of millions of smart-home users already expect unhindered 24/7 access to the internet for myriad services that include movie and television streaming, interactive gaming and web browsing from tablets and smartphones. Whenever any smart device—thermostat, speaker, security camera, etc.—or service ceases to function properly, users tend to hold their ISPs responsible and turn to them for support.

According to a study by Parks Associates titled 360 View: Supporting the Connected Consumer, “Unresolved technical problems with smart home devices have risen 240% in 3 Years. 79% of consumers have self-installed a smart home device, and most do not turn to integrators for assistance when there is a technical problem.”

Though blind as to what devices are present in the home and what services they are consuming, ISPs are tasked with supporting millions of home users. Because smart-home malfunctions can be the result of complex factors within and even outside the home domain— in the service cloud, for example—ISPs are unable to address many types of anomalies. Often, when customers report problems to the ISP support center, technical support staff have no way of seeing them, let alone reproducing, analyzing and resolving them.

“Technical support costs the ISPs a fortune in human resources, wasted time, unnecessary truck rolls and unwarranted hardware replacements,” stated Veego CEO, Amir Kotler. “Smart-home customers become quite frustrated with the time, effort and mistakes involved in support calls. The customer experience degrades, leading to churn and damage to the ISP’s reputation.”

Veego perfects the customer experience while reducing the time and expense involved in supporting smart homes.

The router-resident Veego Agent enables ISPs to “see” what devices are present in the home and what services they are consuming at any moment. The Agent automatically detects behavior aberrations and actual problems—often before the user experiences them. The Veego Cloud hosts a giant and growing Malfunction Knowledgebase that automatically analyzes and pinpoints the root cause of problems—within and beyond the smart home. It enables the Agent to resolve many problems on the spot or it supplies the ISP support center with all the information and analysis necessary to drastically shorten support calls and resolve problems promptly and accurately, eliminating wasteful truck rolls and hardware replacements.

“We are on a mission to establish order in the smart-home market for ISPs and their customers,” declared Kotler. “By applying the power of AI and other advanced technologies to this untamed market, we are able to assure a vastly improved smart-home experience for millions of people along with drastic cost reductions for the ISPs who support them.”

The 20,000:1 contrast ratio delivers vivid images. Even dark scenes are clearly displayed with no loss of detail thanks to DynamicBlack™ technology, which improves image contrast by analyzing on-screen content frame-by-frame, then dynamically adjusting lamp power to optimize black levels. A 1.2X zoom ratio maximizes positioning options for the projector, while four corner correction quickly and easily adjusts corners to eliminate distortion.

Integrated ColorBoost3D technology features an optimized 6-segment color wheel, advanced lamp illumination and powerful image processing to deliver excellent color reproduction and saturation without sacrificing brightness. In addition, ColorSafe II prevents color decay even after thousands of hours of use. To help prevent eye fatigue, the Acer H6535i has Acer BlueLightShield, an adjustable filter to reduce blue light emissions up to 30 percent.

Damo Consulting Releases 2019 Mid-Year “WITCH Report” Of Healthcare IT Consulting Firms


Damo Consulting, a leading digital transformation and growth strategy consultancy for healthcare enterprises and technology firms, today announced the release of its mid-year WITCH Report, which provides a market landscape view of the major global technology consulting firms in healthcare and life sciences. The findings indicate declining growth in the healthcare business of the major global technology firms, but more promising growth within life sciences areas.

The one-of-a-kind WITCH Report, which has been published since 2015, includes a comprehensive review of the financial and market performance of 12 global technology consulting firms in healthcare and life sciences. It provides a detailed review of market performance metrics, insights, and activities of Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and HCL (WITCH), along with other industry leaders. Information covered in the WITCH Report includes financial performance, M&A activities, customer wins, partnerships, new product initiatives, and leadership announcements.

“Our mid-year review of 12 global technology consulting firms indicates declining growth rates in the past two quarters due to a variety of factors for most of the firms. Large-scale M&A in the health insurance industry, notably CVS-Aetna and Cigna-Express Scripts, has created pricing pressures and related challenges for some firms,” said Paddy Padmanabhan, CEO of Damo Consulting and author of The Big Unlock: Harnessing Data and Growing Digital Businesses in a Value-Based Era.

“In the payer space, several clients of technology providers are in-sourcing their operations which leads to further pressures on topline growth for firms with large exposure to this sector. At the same time, cost pressures faced by clients have resulted in demand slowdown for the short term. The life sciences segment seems to have done better as compared to the healthcare segment for most firms, with one firm being an exception. In terms of deal wins, publicly announced transactions were few.”

A challenge for many of the firms covered in the report is increased levels of H1B visa rejections which create pressures on hiring and margins for onsite client engagements. The ongoing opioid lawsuits could impact overall IT spend by Pharma companies facing monetary penalties, which in turn will impact consulting firms with exposure to these companies.

Compiled from publicly available information, the WITCH Report is a complimentary report that provides the most comprehensive overview of the healthcare market performance of the major global technology consulting firms. In addition to the WITCH companies, the report covers Accenture, Atos, Capgemini, DXC Technology, IBM, and NTT Data, Optum, and Deloitte.
