Connected Solutions Group Releases m106 LTE Gateway Router

RICHMOND, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Connected Solutions Group, LLC (CSG), a national leader in wireless hardware deployment and services, today announced that it is bringing its first in-house hardware product to market, the CSG m106 LTE Gateway Router. The router, designed to operate on the Verizon network, will be used for a wide range of business connectivity use cases.

"This is the next step in the evolution of CSG bringing dynamic and high-demand products into the market," stated Michael Pittman, CEO at CSG, "We have spent over a year in development making sure the device meets standards worthy of our brand. In the end, we've built something made with outstanding quality and with more features than most routers that are anywhere near the price point we will be able to offer."

Of the many features of the m106 Router, some of the key differentiators are its internal battery that will take over if external power is not available for up to eight hours; both WAN and LAN ethernet ports; IP passthrough mode; a cloud management portal with remote monitoring capabilities of the device; a pair of premium Panorama-4G/LTE Paddle antennas; inline failover capabilities; an included wall mount bracket; and a USB port that can output a charge to other devices.

A key motivation behind the device are the growing Business Internet (BI) offerings from Verizon. BI allows businesses to use the Verizon network as their primary internet service and requires a cellular connected router to facilitate the service for each customer.

"We've been a key player in BI 'Business Internet' since Verizon introduced it last year," said Pittman, "As we've put thousands of routers into the BI program, use cases have become clear to us that require features not available on some entry-level routers. The m106 feature set solves for many of the needs that Verizon is positioning BI into."

On the support side, CSG is backing up the device with included managed services and support for every Verizon BI customer who purchases the m106. "We are fully vested in every customer's success with this device," commented Pittman, "So it seemed natural to us to give six months of managed services with every sale. This support is with our own, US-based employees who will be here to hold the customer's hand through any questions they may have, assure that the device is set up properly for every unique use case, and even proactively monitor device status for the customer."

"At the end of the day, this is the CSG difference," concluded Pittman, "We're going to offer the best possible product backed by the best possible service in the industry. Our customers deserve it, Verizon customers deserve it, and, with the m106, we're going to deliver it."

MICROSafeX Launches Kickstarter Campaign for World’s First ‘Unhackable’ Computer

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- MICROSafeX announces a newly patented "unhackable" security technology / computer platform and it's working to raise money through a Kickstarter campaign set to launch on June 25, 2019 (US Patent No.: 10,061,923 B1).

Pritam Nath, founder of MICROSafeX, has been issued a hardware utility patent for an Internet-connected computer that cannot be hacked in any way whatsoever.

Nath has an engineering degree in electronic hardware from UCLA and more than 35 years of experience in systems architecture, large integrated software systems and some hardware in various computers, Internet, operating systems, BIOS, device drivers, embedded systems, and more. He has designed and built a fully functioning personal computer.

"This new hardware design is very different from all other computers on the market today," Nath says.

The company is working to raise funds for what it's calling, "the world's first unhackable computer."

"Computer hacking is a huge problem and this new technology solves problems ranging from viruses and malware to computer hijacking," Nath explains.

Hacking incidents and cyber security threats continue to make media headlines and only serve to illustrate the severity of the problem. MICROSafeX's new "unhackable computer" hopes to reduce and perhaps even eliminate these issues.

Criminals will no longer be able to steal valuable and confidential information from individuals, banks, corporations, hospitals, political organizations, government agencies and more.

While there are a few software security companies that offer software-only based solutions for virus and malware removal, they do not prevent cyber-attacks. MICROSafeX's hardware technology does.

The MICROSafeX-patented, hardware-based prevention system will not allow any virus or malware into the computer. The computer prototype is estimated to be available within 12 months and will retail for $1,250.

The Joy Factory Launches New Industrial Cases for Surface Go

IRVINE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Joy Factory, Inc. announced today that it is launching two new rugged cases to expand its aXtion line of tablet cases. These cases are specifically designed for the Surface Go. As a proud Microsoft Designed for Surface Partner, The Joy Factory is committed to designing products that will enhance the user's experience in the most effortless way.

The Joy Factory has once again set the standard by developing durable and reliable technology to protect a business' tablet investment across various regulated industries.

The aXtion Pro MP (CWM409MP) for Surface Go is the first of its kind. This fully enclosed and industrial grade case indisputably protects the tablet in rough and unpredictable environments. The Joy Factory's innovative team designed the CWM409MP, in accordance with the "Designed for Surface" program guidelines and specifications, to be the first fully enclosed waterproof (IP68) case on the market that also meets MIL-STD-810G military durability standards. The built-in heavy-duty screen protector along with port and button covers fully protects the tablet from dust, debris and liquids. This innovative solution can go across all industrial fields from warehouse and construction sites to manufacturing production lines.

Specially designed with The Joy Factory's new proprietary ThermoDefend(TM) heat dissipating technology, this rugged case keeps the Surface Go at peak performance capabilities at 25 degrees Celsius so that users can get the job done without fear of their device overheating.

This revolutionary case will protect a business' tablet investment while providing unrestricted mobility to any workforce with the built-in aXtion VESA MP Module. The module includes MagConnect technology for quick and easy attachment and removal with any MagConnect mount, a non-slip kickstand to conveniently position the Surface Go anywhere and a built-in rotating adjustable hand strap to hold the device without sacrificing comfort for productivity. The CWM409MP empowers and enables the mobile workforce wherever they go.

"When you are in high traffic areas, there is a possibility for a tablet to endure a lot of bumps, drops, scrapes or even potential damage. This new case for the Surface Go is going to fully protect the tablet all around in the toughest of terrains or hazardous environments," said Miranda Su, Executive Vice President at The Joy Factory.

Users in the healthcare fields can further enhance their tablet experience with the aXtion Pro MPA (CWM408 MPA). In addition to all the protective features of the aXtion Pro MP, this healthcare grade case takes it one innovative step further. The entire case is infused with antimicrobial agent IonPure(R), which helps with the prevention of bacteria and mold growth on the case's surface. For healthcare professionals, the CWM408MPA is the reliable solution to meet most federal cleaning regulations necessary in both healthcare facilities and environments.

The CWM408MPA is the result of combining functional and armored features together to keep the Surface Go protected while moving between patient rooms, nurse stations, doctor's offices and hospital floors. With ThermoDefend(TM) heat dissipating technology, users gain the benefits of peak performance capability all in a fully enclosed certified and IP-rated case.

Like the CWM409MP, the CWM408MPA has a built-in aXtion VESA MP Module with MagConnect technology that allows users to mount the Surface Go with any compatible MagConnect mount for reliable hands-free positioning and display. Safeguard your Surface Go in any work environment with the CWM408MPA without sacrificing superior protective features and easy accessibility.

The CWM409MP will be available Tuesday, June 4, 2019. The CWA408MPA will be available at the end of June.

iTrinegy NE-ONE X-Series accelerates and simplifies SD-WAN Evaluation

ORLANDO, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Today at Cisco Live, Cisco's annual IT and communications conference, iTrinegy, specialists in mitigating risk associated with application performance over networks, announced the launch of their NE-ONE X-Series Network Emulator. This product combines 10Gbps performance with NE-ONE features such as Auto-configuration and Network Scenario Builder, to enable organizations to easily test applications in up to 10Gbps Point-to-Point Virtual Test Networks that mimic real-world environments.

With network infrastructures constantly evolving, as witnessed by the development of SD-WAN, applications and data are now being delivered over an array of different speed network connections that could include WAN, WiFi, Mobile and Cloud, and possibly even Satellite. Therefore, it is important to verify that applications are going to be able to cope with the inevitable variations in network speed, quality and availability, prior to actual deployment.

The NE-ONE X-Series addresses this requirement by being able to recreate higher performance Point-to-Point multipath test and evaluation network environments in which to conduct SD-WAN Proof-of-Concept, Evaluation and Training, Data Center and Server Relocation Testing, VDI Testing, WAN Optimizer Testing, Encryption Testing, Unified Comms Testing, Mobile App Testing and App Testing over Satellite circuits.

The X-Series epitomises the existing NE-ONE Network Emulator design principle of being easy to use and cost-effective, and along with enhanced performance, is supplied with all the full range of NE-ONE features as standard.

"With SD-WAN adoption as a prime example, we recognized that there was a need to validate application performance at scale, by being able to the mimic multiple low and high speed WAN links associated with typical SD-WAN deployment, so it made perfect sense for us to release a 10Gbps capable point-to-point emulator like the NE-ONE X-Series," explains Frank Puranik, iTrinegy Product Director. "However, conscious that existing 10G emulators use complex and cumbersome tabular style interfaces, we wanted to greatly simplify the process of setting up and running real-world higher speed test networks, and we are confident that the NE-ONE X-Series successfully fulfils this brief."

"Since its launch in 2015, the NE-ONE Network Emulator range has proved popular with governments, the military and enterprises across the globe, enabling both vendor and end-user organizations to easily validate application performance over networks," adds iTrinegy Director Graham Wood. "The introduction of the X-Series (10Gbps) models will broaden the appeal of this product range, especially given that the starting price, as a perpetual license, is less than $30,000."

About the NE-ONE Range:

The NE-ONE Network Emulator range is available in three formats: desktop (up to 1Gbps) virtual appliance (up to 200Mbps) and now half rack-mount (10Gbps). Customers have the added assurance that as their requirements change the NE-ONE hardware and virtual versions can be upgraded across the range, in most cases by simply purchasing a new license key.

Weitz & Luxenberg Files Lawsuit Against Lenovo for Superfish Security Risk

NEW YORK, N.Y., March 4, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. has announced the filing of a class action lawsuit against Lenovo and Superfish for a recent case of laptop security failings. The suit was filed in response to the growing concern over computer manufacturer Lenovo's inclusion of Superfish malware on laptops purchased after Sept. 1, 2014.

In January 2015, a security expert discovered that Superfish's VisualDiscovery software had been installed on Lenovo laptops before they were shipped out to customers. This software has security defects that endanger all communications made on the affected laptops.

According to published reports, more than just a few models are affected. Laptops purchased after Sept. 1, 2014 and during Feb. 2015 may all contain this damaging software. The models containing Superfish include the Lenovo G, U, Y, Z, S, Flex, MIIX, YOGA, and E series.

As Robin L. Greenwald, head of Weitz & Luxenberg's Environmental, Toxic Tort & Consumer Protection Unit explained, "Lenovo sold you a laptop that you thought you could trust to protect confidential internet communications. But Lenovo didn't care about your security; instead, it cared about exploiting you and helping advertisers promote their products. By doing so, Lenovo and Superfish exposed you to a serious security risk."

How Superfish Causes a Security Risk:

It has been announced in news reports that hackers can use Wi-Fi networks, which are found across the U.S. in many public places -- including coffeeshops, restaurants and bars -- to hack into your computer. The Superfish software is what allows them in, according to Weitz & Luxenberg.

Once these thieves access your computer, they can capture any data you have stored on it. This gives them possible access to your passwords, bank account numbers, tax records and any other private information, according to industry reports.

The hackers then can use the information themselves to open credit card or cell phone accounts in your name, file false tax returns in your name, or sell your information on the black market to others who will do so.

Christopher Dalbey, an attorney with Weitz & Luxenberg, explained, "Lenovo's actions are also reprehensible because it installed software that allows hackers to easily mimic the look and feel of other companies' secure websites."

Dalbey emphasized, "You think that you're visiting a website for your bank, but instead the software tricks you into giving up personal and private information. And that software is installed on your own computer by a manufacturer you trusted."

Lenovo explained the inclusion of this malware as an attempt to improve the advertising experience for its customers. The company claimed not to have realized that the software gives Superfish access to all of a customer's online communications and enables hackers to easily spy on customers, according to news outlets.

Join Our Class Action Against Lenovo:

The attorneys at Weitz & Luxenberg believe that you have certain privacy rights that are safeguarded by federal and state laws. These include the federal wiretapping statute and state laws about deceptive trade practices, breach of implied warranty and fraudulent concealment. And at least one state has an anti-spyware law.

The firm believes that the evidence indicates that Lenovo knowingly violated those rights. Therefore, both Lenovo and Superfish should be held accountable and people who have been damaged should receive compensation.

W&L invites anyone who has purchased a Lenovo laptop during this time period to reach out to us to discuss joining our class action lawsuit.

"Lenovo put your security and privacy at risk, and you deserve to be compensated for that," affirms Ms. Greenwald. "Big corporations must learn that they cannot take advantage of people. And if they do so, they will be held accountable for it."
