New TekLink™ TL2000PS Parking Suite Moves Beyond Lighting Control, Exclusively Providing Car Counting Technology in the Light Fixture


https://www.prweb.com/

TekLink 2000PS in a TekDek TD17 luminaire

By adding camera-based features into the TekLink 2000PS, facility owners save significantly over the cost of adding these systems individually.

Kenall’s TekLink TL2000PS Parking Suite extends the TekLink family of control systems by introducing the industry’s only image sensor integrated directly into the luminaire. These sensors provide car counting technology to parking facilities, helping to maximize operational efficiency and profitability. TekLink TL2000PS is currently available in Kenall’s best-selling TekDek TD17 and SenScape SPG18 parking luminaires.

“By embedding cameras into strategically-located light fixtures, Kenall’s parking garage light fixtures using TL2000PS can provide car counting data to parking facilities’ message boards as a vehicle enters the garage, moves between parking levels and exits the structure. With count accuracy over 99%, this feature greatly improves the customer experience by minimizing the time spent looking for an open space. Knowing the parking structure’s use history also helps operators set pricing strategies and plan staffing and maintenance schedules,” said Joe Welch, Controls Product Manager at Kenall.

Welch continued, “This product is completely unique to the market and opens a host of possibilities for parking operators, who can now not only manage lighting to save energy and promote safety, but also maximize the profitability of the structure by creating pricing programs based on usage. By adding camera-based features into the TekLink 2000PS, facility owners save significantly over the cost of adding these systems individually.” Welch is excited about this next step in Kenall controls technology and for future enhancements: “We are just beginning to scratch the surface of how lighting can offer services beyond illumination, and Kenall is at the forefront of developing technologies to create maximum value for parking garage owners.”

New BullGuard Commissioned Study Reveals Substantial Gaps Between Privacy Concerns And Actual Behaviors Of American, British and German Consumers


https://www.prweb.com/

BullGuard makes it simple to protect everything in your digital life – from your data, your identity, your privacy and your smart home.

“Accessing public Wi-Fi without the use of a VPN (Virtual Private Network), is akin to driving your car without insurance — sooner or later you’re going to end up paying the price for being negligent,” said Paul Lipman, CEO, BullGuard

Amid ongoing identity theft and privacy-related breaches, new research published today by cybersecurity company, BullGuard, revealed substantial gaps between consumers’ privacy concerns and their actual behaviors. The study shows 53% of Americans, 48% of Brits and 62% of Germans are concerned about privacy, but 74% of Americans, 80% of Brits, and 86% of Germans don’t use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) when accessing public Wi-Fi, with convenience trumping privacy and security risks in their rush to get online. A VPN empowers consumers with a highly effective, easy way to safeguard themselves when using public Wi-Fi from their smartphone, tablet or laptop, and adds an extra layer of security and privacy when used on the home network.

Unbeknownst to most consumers, hackers can easily spoof and set up malicious open Wi-Fi networks that appear to be legitimate (e.g. ‘Free Airport Wi-Fi’), but in fact intercept and record all network traffic, including people’s intimate personal data, and allow fraudsters to steal usernames, passwords, credit card details, bank account information and more. Alarmingly, approximately one in five Americans (19%) used a credit card while connected to public Wi-Fi, 17% of Brits performed online banking, and 14% of Germans accessed an insecure website — even though 53% of Americans, 48% of Brits and 62% of Germans believe their data is not secure while on a public Wi-Fi network and two-thirds of all survey respondents stated they are most worried about their banking information being hacked and stolen.

“Consumers are playing Russian Roulette with their personal data and privacy, opting for convenience over safety when using public Wi-Fi,” said Paul Lipman, CEO of BullGuard. “The research findings clearly indicate that Americans, Brits, and Germans do not feel safe online, yet they are ignoring their fears and risking financial theft, identity theft, account fraud and more in their quest to use public Wi-Fi. Accessing public Wi-Fi without the use of a VPN is akin to driving your car without insurance – sooner or later you’re going to end up paying the price for being negligent.”

The research also revealed 48% of Americans, 62% of Brits and 69% of Germans are only using antivirus (AV) software to protect their online information on their home Wi-Fi. AV software prevents, detects and removes malware and helps protect users from other threats such as ransomware, malicious URLs, phishing scams, botnet DDoS attacks and more, but it does not hide a consumer’s origin IP address or prevent others – including ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and government organizations – from monitoring a consumer’s online browsing activity, including what websites they visit, what they download or what services and applications they use.

“A disconnect currently exists in the minds of consumers between the benefits and differences of AV software and VPN. The research findings indicate a need to educate consumers that VPN is not simply a useful tool for streaming geo-locked content, but an integral component to safeguard their overall online security and privacy,” stated Lipman. “While antivirus software is essential for detecting and removing malware from your PC, smartphone and tablet devices, it offers no protection from having your personal data intercepted by a malicious hotspot or blocking your ISP from monitoring your online browsing activity.”

Additionally, a significant number of individuals (19% of Americans, 12% of Brits and 7% of Germans, respectively) use no additional methods and rely solely on their ISP and browser to keep their online information private and secure. This despite results that show consumers believe the following entities are tracking their online activities:

1.    Search engines such as Google (56% Americans, 63% Brits and 71% Germans)

2.    Internet Browser (51% Americans, 57% Brits and 57% Germans)

3.    Internet Service Provider (53% Americans, 58% Brits and 44% Germans)

4.    Online retailers like Amazon (46% Americans, 54% Brits and 61% Germans)

5.    Social media platforms such as Facebook (55% Americans and 62% Brits)*

6.    Messenger apps such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp (42% Americans and 51% Brits)*

7.    Social media platforms and messengers, e.g. Facebook and WhatsApp (65% Germans)**

8.    US government (52% Americans and 36% Brits)*

9.    UK government (15% Americans and 55% Brits)*

10.    German government (34% Germans)**


  • US and UK only; **Germany only

The BullGuard commissioned survey was conducted in August 2019 and queried a total of 5,000 adult consumers across the US, the UK, and Germany (2000 each in the US and UK, and 1000 in Germany). A press kit including graphs, charts, logos and other assets related to the research study can be accessed here.

They leverage the FCC open mid-band spectrum between 3.55-3.7 GHz that will be commercially launched on September 18th at a CBRS Alliance OnGo launch event in Washington, D.C.

“Private LTE networks enable enhanced mobility, security and quality of service (QoS) for any connected device, including PCs, tablets and handhelds as well as industrial IoT devices,” said Joel Lindholm, vice president, CBRS LTE Business for Commscope. “With their extensive history of enabling industrial connections, extensive cellular expertise and experience supporting private IoT networks, collaborating with MultiTech enables the Ruckus CBRS LTE portfolio to support compelling new use cases that only private LTE networks can effectively address.”

As a CBRS Alliance member, MultiTech is among the first to develop products that conform with the OnGo specifications, addressing dedicated and Private LTE networks that provide secure connectivity to the newly available CBRS mid-band spectrum.

“Since joining the Alliance, MultiTech has been an active advocate for CBRS and OnGo,” said Alan Ewing, Executive Director of the CBRS Alliance. “The eCell Ethernet to OnGo bridge device is hitting the market just in time to support initial commercial deployments, just approved by the FCC.”

The MultiConnect eCell cellular to Ethernet bridge enables plug-and-play CBRS connectivity for existing smart assets as primary connectivity or as a failover, should wired connections become compromised. Its rugged aluminum chassis protects the eCell from harsh industrial environments, while DeviceHQ® secure lifecycle management, provides IT with the tools needed to monitor and manage asset performance remotely. Samples have been shipping since May and are already in use by many CBRS Alliance members.

Applications leveraging the MultiConnect eCell include:


  • JMA XRAN virtual baseband enabling CBRS OnGo for video, internal communications and digital displays at major venues and CBRS trial sites.
  • Geoverse Private LTE, monitoring commercial building entrances in real-time.
  • Commscope working with its customers to connect vital sign monitor carts in hospitals as they roll from room to room with superior reliability and secure CBRS connectivity.
  • Syniverse Innovation Lab, using video surveillance to monitor its smart IoT-based parking lot.

“Liberalization of mid-band spectrum policy in the US and abroad has made way for a paradigm shift in the way cellular networks are deployed: from thousands of wireless operators to millions of sites with their own cellular network, including sports venues, airports, malls, hotels, mines, manufacturing facility and enterprise office spaces,” said Daniel Quant, VP Strategic Development of MultiTech. “Ours are among the first hardened IoT devices that offer securely managed after-market Private LTE and CBRS connectivity to a broad range of assets to accelerate industrial enterprise digital transformation today.”

The eCell CBRS Ethernet bridge is certified with the Athonet Connectivity Platform to rapidly, securely and reliably connect any Ethernet device to an OnGo network. It is also compliant to Ericsson Industry Connect, and is validated with the JMA XRAN virtual RAN solution for both CBRS and licensed bands – making it easy to install, setup and enable any edge device from IoT to high resolution video in a matter of minutes.

For customers requiring enhanced routing functionality, the MultiConnect rCell 600 Series industrial router is IPv6 capable and is equipped with: four 10/100/1000 Ethernet interfaces; RS232/RS485; USB, and GPIO interfaces, plus a Wi-Fi access point. It features robust, configurable security to protect critical data, secure routing to optimize network efficiency, and built-in native Modbus serial RTU communications for remote SCADA telemetry.

The rCell 600 Series supports smart applications in the oil and gas, utility, and transportation industries. Samples are available today for select customers looking to enable their operations with OnGo network capabilities. Contact sales(at)multitech.com to request a sample.
