TSS USA Now Offers CommScope Uniprise System Warranties on Commercial Cabling Projects in Tampa Bay

Pinellas Park low-voltage contractor can now offer CommScope-backed system warranties on commercial structured cabling installations

PINELLAS PARK, Fla., April 20, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — TSS USA, a licensed low-voltage contractor based in Pinellas Park, Florida, announced that members of its installation team have completed CommScope’s Authorized Connectivity Training (ACT) and earned Uniprise Certified Installer credentials. The certifications qualify TSS USA to install CommScope Uniprise structured cabling systems and issue manufacturer-backed warranties on completed commercial projects throughout the Tampa Bay area.

CommScope’s ACT program trains technicians on Uniprise copper and fiber installation against ANSI/TIA cabling standards. Completing the program requires coursework in termination, transmission fundamentals, and field certification of installed cabling systems. Technicians who pass are registered in CommScope’s qualified installer database, and their employer can then back projects with a Uniprise system warranty covering the full horizontal infrastructure.

WHAT A UNIPRISE SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERS

Most cabling warranties cover components only. A Uniprise system warranty covers the finished installation as one documented unit, including patch panels, cable runs, outlets, and all interconnects, for up to 20 years. Issuing that warranty requires both spec-compliant product and a CommScope-registered technician on the job.

“Having certified installers on staff means TSS USA can offer a warranty option most area contractors are not qualified to provide,” said Jonathan Flanagan, Service Manager at TSS USA. “The warranty is backed by CommScope directly. Our customers in healthcare, property management, and office construction are the ones who benefit from that.”

TSS USA installs structured cabling (https://tssusa.net/structured-cabling/) in commercial buildings across Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and surrounding areas in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Manatee, and Sarasota counties.

ABOUT TSS USA

TSS USA is a licensed low-voltage systems integrator based in Pinellas Park, Florida.

Adax MAVCP (Multipath Aerial Vehicle Control Protocol) elevates drone survival and mission success to unprecedented levels

OAKLAND, Calif., June 24, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Adax Inc. announces a new control and communications protocol for drones and UAV’s that greatly enhances drone survival in hostile environments where they are being shot down because of excessive radio communications.

Image caption: (Figure 1): Here is what it looks like when you are under attack. Many nodes and drones are lost. The mission is still completed with robust and timely packet delivery because of MAVCP’s multiple paths through the mesh and rapid error recovery. The mission is a success.

Adax MAVCP (Multipath Aerial Vehicle Control Protocol) is designed for drone survival in hostile environments producing greater likelihood of mission success. MAVCP is industry-changing, real-time, error-correcting middleware layer advance for drone control and survival in mesh networks. The loss of drones in hostile environments is an urgent problem for drone users. One source of losses is excessive transmissions by drones, especially those operating with a mesh network. Loss of mesh nodes can disrupt drone communication, especially if multiple mesh nodes are being jammed or lost affecting the mesh network’s ability to self-heal. The radio signals from the drones and mesh nodes are readily detected by adversaries and are used to track and destroy or jam the drone and the mesh network nodes.

“Drones are being shot down because they chatter too much. During engagements, their mesh nodes are being jammed or destroyed and leads to them overrunning their targets. Our new middleware solution solves both of these problems,” stated Cooper Kirby, Senior Engineer at Adax.

MAVCP is a superior transport layer upgrade (middleware) that can be easily integrated with existing applications for drone control. With Adax MAVCP, a drone survives jamming of multiple mesh nodes or destructive node losses while maintaining real-time communication performance. The amount of radio traffic is minimized for enhanced stealth, yet MAVCP still achieves best in class, fastest recovery of lost or dropped packets even in hostile environments. Using built-in stealth modes, it lowers the exposure of drones to counter-attack significantly. It provides more robust real-time communication with devices in motion such as drones or vehicles. It works well for delivering packets to distant corners of the network subject to drops and slow delivery. MAVCP helps to finish critical missions successfully.

Adax MAVCP with new AI enhancements provides these features and more, such as durable anti-hijacking, message authentication, and data encryption. It provides a robust self-healing and secure solution for greater reliability and timely data delivery. This is the first time such advanced and self-healing AI features are available with a rigorous and well-defined protocol. It is ideal for noisy, distant, or unreliable network environments such as radio links or noisy networks. With its rapid detection of packet loss and re-sending of lost packets and its multiple independent data paths, it is superior to other IP network solutions when reliability, resilience from attack, and security count. Your mission can still be completed in spite of significant losses of mesh nodes and payload carrying drones.

Adax MAVCP can be easily integrated with existing vendor’s applications for drone control. It is a thin middleware layer that fits in above IP or UDP, so no application re-writing is required. Adax provides support for integrating Adax drone-saving real-time solutions into customer’s products.

AFL Global Automates Energy Management and Anticipates $304K of Savings in First Year with EnergyCAP

BOALSBURG, Pa., Nov. 18, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — AFL Global, a global leader in telecommunications and fiber optic solutions, has achieved a significant sustainability milestone by leveraging EnergyCAP, a leading energy and sustainability software platform. By implementing EnergyCAP, AFL Global has automated the management of nearly two-hundred utility accounts, which has enabled $304,000 in anticipated annual energy and utility cost savings and substantial environmental gains.

Image caption: EnergyCAP.

Facing mounting pressure from stakeholders to enhance sustainability practices, AFL had been burdened by a time-consuming process that required thirty-six hours each month to manage utility data manually. Recognizing the need for innovation, AFL turned to EnergyCAP in December 2023, revolutionizing its approach to energy management.

AFL Global Sustainability Wins:

Natural Gas Leak Detection: Identifying abnormal gas usage through software led to the discovery and repair of a natural gas leak, saving AFL $3,300 annually.
Water Leak Detection: AFL saved $10,700 and 257,000 gallons of water each year—equivalent to over one-third the volume of an Olympic-size swimming pool—by detecting and addressing water leaks.
Energy Efficiency Projects: Data insights empowered AFL to complete twenty-nine energy efficiency projects across its operations, resulting in expected savings of 1.9 million kWh and $170,000 annually.
Rate Structure Review: By reviewing utility rate structures, AFL identified an additional $120,000 in annual savings.

In addition to these financial and environmental benefits, EnergyCAP’s customizable dashboards empowered AFL to enhance transparency and communication around energy usage. AFL employees across the organization gained access to real-time energy data, enabling them to make faster, data-driven decisions.

“EnergyCAP’s software not only helps us find savings but also provides transparency with customizable dashboards available to all AFL employees,” said Geoff VanderVeen, Executive Director, Environmental Health & Safety at AFL. “We can now communicate facility data with stakeholders more efficiently, often within a month rather than the up to 6+ month lag previously experienced. This timely, transparent data reporting sets us apart, allowing us to support our sustainability initiatives with concrete, regularly updated information.”

Shawn Lankton, CEO of EnergyCAP, emphasized the importance of automation in sustainability efforts: “AFL’s success showcases the transformative power of automation in energy and sustainability data management. By streamlining manual processes and providing critical insights, EnergyCAP enables organizations to unlock significant savings while advancing their sustainability goals. AFL’s journey is a testament to how technology and data transparency can drive meaningful operational and environmental change.”

AFL’s transition from manual, labor-intensive processes to automated, data-driven practices has strengthened its sustainability credentials, proving that the right technology can make a substantial impact on both operational efficiency and sustainability performance.

As AFL continues to leverage EnergyCAP’s innovative capabilities, they demonstrate how organizations can turn external pressures into strategic advantages—achieving not only cost savings but also paving the way for a brighter, greener future.

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."

About Connected Solutions Group:

Connected Solutions Group, LLC (CSG) is a Richmond, Virginia-based leading VAR and wireless hardware deployment company.

Netcube Achieves World’s First Multi-Slice Application Service Architecture Proven on Commercial Grade 5G System

SEOUL, Korea /ScoopCloud/ -- Netcube, Inc., a Korea-based leading telecom software company just announced that the company has achieved a significant milestone towards a 5G-led business for a 5G ecosystem. It's successfully proved its network slicing application enabler platform on a commercial-grade 5G system.

The achievement was part of the "5G Convergence Service Field Test Project" funded by the Ministry of Science and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) of Korea. And, the implementation was officially proven by the Telecommunication Technology Association (TTA) at the "National 5G Convergence Testbed" facility operated by National Information Society Agency (NIA) of Korea. The facility is equipped with carrier-grade Samsung 5G SA access and core system.

Dong-ho Yu, CEO of Netcube, said, "Network slicing technology is a fundamental feature for a 5G ecosystem, but it seems to have remained a rather conceptual ideal for a long time."

Yu attributes this to a lack of service attaching technology with vertical industries and their applications.

"The goal of this development was to suggest a network slicing-based business model for 5G converged ecosystem participants and to offer practical level enabling solutions for CSPs, vertical industries and users," he says.

Sung-Uk Rha, director of Future Network Center at NIA, said that, "Korea was the first country to commercialize 5G networks successfully, and this world-first demonstration of Netcube's original network slicing technology shows an example of the country's continued innovation."

In addition to this milestone, in 2021, Netcube achieved another notable accomplishment during its participation in the "5G Government Network Pilot Project" which was to develop and prove the industry's first 3GPP compliant "Secondary Authentication" system. This helps governments and enterprises to identify and authorize 5G-based private network access from commercial 5G networks.

About Netcube, Inc.

Established in 2003, Netcube is a telecommunications software company based in Seoul, Korea. The company is committed to helping various vertical industries embrace 5G with the convergence of their data network environments and supporting enterprises, governments and individual developers to effectively deploy and operate 5G-converged services.

Netcube cooperates with MNOs, manufacturers and integrators to enhance the mobile network ecosystem in transforming 5G NSA into SA, building 5G private network and architecting and deploying 5G-based workplace networks for enterprises and public sector.

Connected Solutions Group Announces 12:34 MicroTechnologies as Strategic Solutions Partner

RICHMOND, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Connected Solutions Group, LLC (CSG), a national leader in wireless hardware deployment and services, today announced that it has added 12:34 MicroTechnologies, Inc. as their latest Strategic Solutions Partner (SSP). CSG's SSP program is designed to integrate companies with specific areas of expertise with CSG's channel offerings in order to maximize the customer's experience and satisfaction.

12:34 MicroTechnologies, a Pennsylvania-based company founded in 1998, is a national leader offering sales, professional services, and managed services for Microsoft cloud services, Microsoft Office 365, and Azure. From software implementations, migrations, support, and proactive managed services, 12:34 is a full-service IT firm for Microsoft's wide-ranging products and services.

"This partnership is a huge win for our customers and Verizon customers in so many ways," said Michael Pittman, CEO at CSG, "Alejandro and his team at 12:34 are some of the most professional people we've met in the IT realm, and we've seen a huge demand for these services from Verizon teams around the country."

With Verizon selling business customers a wide range of Microsoft product licenses, Pittman saw the need for a partner who could step in to handle the complex migrations and implementations of the software.

"This was the missing puzzle piece to the offering and the feedback from the customers and Verizon reps has been tremendous," Pittman said, "The addition of 12:34's services to the sale of these Microsoft products is often the deciding factor for the customer to move forward."

Alejandro Rosado, who started 12:34 in 1998 is equally enthusiastic about teaming up with the team at CSG. "Culturally, our two companies are a great fit together," said Rosado, "As we learned more about CSG's place in the market, its relationship with Verizon, and its ability to market our services to their customers, it became incredibly obvious that this was a fantastic opportunity for all of us."

CSG has been quickly growing its SSP lineup over the past several quarters as they scale to offer more of the services needed by its constantly growing customer base. The company's goal is to fully live up to its name and offer all the connected solutions that its customers require, often through SSP partners bringing specialized expertise.

"It's another step in our constant evolution to make sure we are offering all of the products and services that Verizon business customers need," said Pittman, "We're looking forward to spreading the word about this service to our partners at Verizon. The feedback we've gotten so far has been tremendous and we know it will be a huge win for the Verizon reps who regularly have customers with this need."

MetaGeek Unveils New Tech Support Product Addressing Remote Employees’ Home Wi-Fi

BOISE, Idaho /ScoopCloud/ -- Today Wi-Fi tech company MetaGeek announces the launch of its highly anticipated Signifi Business. Signifi Business helps IT professionals visualize and troubleshoot employees' home Wi-Fi networks with remote tools and a centralized dashboard.

It's designed for organizations supporting remote or hybrid employees, which has become a significant percentage of the workforce as the pandemic year has permanently changed many employees' and businesses' relationship to the office.

How It Works from the IT Pro's Perspective

"Signifi Business allows IT to remotely diagnose connectivity issues on employees' Wi-Fi networks, no matter their location," explains MetaGeek's Founder and "Chief Geek" Ryan Woodings. "The best part is that front-line remote troubleshooting is done for you, and you only have to get involved when there are escalations."

End users install a lightweight desktop client that scans their network periodically, diagnoses issues, and suggests step-by-step fixes for them to try, while at the same time sending network data to the admin dashboard.

That way, if the self-help fixes don't work, IT administrators already have all the information needed to step in and resolve the problem quickly - no tedious helpdesk calls required.

What It Costs

The $150 plan is billed annually for five seats, with a 14-day free trial to start. Additional seats are available at $30/year.

Fusion Broadband embraces Equinix in global expansion of its SD-WAN service

SORRENTO, Victoria, Australia /ScoopCloud/ -- Leading SD-WAN provider, Fusion Broadband, has expanded into Equinix, which will give it a significantly larger global footprint and enable it to offer customers enhanced performance and more advanced connectivity options.

Equinix is a leading digital infrastructure company operating more than 220 data centres in 26 countries on five continents.

As the networking requirements of global businesses become more sophisticated, Fusion Broadband identified a need to support their customers' growth by leveraging Equinix and offering greater WAN connectivity through direct access to a multitude of cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, Google, IBM, Alibaba and Oracle.

Jason Maude, managing director of Fusion Broadband, said the new arrangement with Equinix(R) and Equinix Metal(TM) will allow the company to quickly and easily provide dedicated SD-WAN gateways in more than 50 location points globally.

"With our unique SD-WAN orchestration platform customers are able to deploy SD-WAN sites and gateways in minuets, as well as enable direct connections with the majority of the major cloud providers. They can be self-managed or our team of SD-WAN specialists can manage them for the customer. Dedicated private backbones between regions can also be provisioned for customers adding a greater level of performance and security.

"With Equinix Fabric, we can offer global or national customers faster and more flexible access to all of the cloud services and partners that are on the Platform Equinix. This allows customers to extend the reach of their SD-WAN network not only globally but also with direct access into the world's largest cloud service providers."

As an example, a customer that prefers to have a dedicated environment (as opposed to a shared multi-tenant environment) for its offices in each region may elect to have one or two POPs in each region, which very easily allows a private backbone between POPs to be created that can support speeds from tens of Mbps through to 10-20Gbps.

"By combining the benefits of our POP infrastructure from IBM Cloud and now Equinix, we have a significantly larger global footprint," Maude said.

"Our SD-WAN managed service business already supports over 100 multi-tenant gateways around the world. The addition of Equinix will allow us to further expand this with the ability to deploy dedicated gateways for customers or dedicated private connections between SD-WAN gateways. It can be set up within a matter of hours."

With Equinix's private backbone, Fusion Broadband's international customers can now easily build their own private backbone between their Fusion Broadband SD-WAN gateways - either dedicated or multi-tenant -- where backbone capacity can be scaled up and down as required. These private backbone links offer guaranteed performance and security between gateways.

"The ability to quickly turn on direct links via Equinix or even Megaport's peering fabrics means we can provide customers with a tremendous amount of connection and SD-WAN flexibility," Maude added.

NSC Awards Cole Engineering Team $31M OTA

MCLEAN, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Cole Engineering Services, Inc. (CESI) a By Light Company, has been awarded a $31.3M contract by the National Spectrum Consortium (NSC) for the Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) 5G Network Enhancements Prototype Other Transaction Agreement (OTA). CESI as the prime contractor for this OTA, with key teammates Eridan Communications, Inc., Prizm XR, Inc., and Athena Technologies, LLC, are together delivering this next-generation technology development for augmented and virtual reality testbeds, 5G networks, and applications at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBML) in Washington State.

This project supports the Department of Defense (DoD) 5G Strategy Implementation Plan to accelerate implementation of advanced wireless communications with applications in both the Continental United States (CONUS) and outside CONUS regions. For this 5G experimentation at JBLM, DoD, and the Department of the Army expect to develop effective methodologies to allow combat training enhanced by 5G communications technologies.

The project is divided into three sequential phases in which advanced 5G technologies will be tested in laboratory environments, then fielded and evaluated in the 5G enhanced training environment deployed at JBLM. The goal of this prototype project is to develop and demonstrate 5G-based AR/VR enhancement that enables Army mission planning and training. The prototype will demonstrate the ability to design, build, and sustain an advanced enhancement that allows for 5G cellular connectivity to accommodate military training activity.

According to Thomas Fransson, CESI, SVP Operations, Simulation Products & Services, "This award reinforces the success of our long heritage in advanced wireless communications, and now extends into the new and exciting area of providing these capabilities for training and operations, where we can leverage our extensive experience of supporting DoD with simulations and training products. Our 5G network solution addresses the breadth of challenges presented by foliage and weather, vastly improves the performance of the network in terms of number of participants and reduces latency - thereby improving soldier perception of combat engagement."

Indiana 5G Zone to Host Panel Discussion and Demonstrations on Revolutionary ‘Smart Transportation’ Technologies

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Indiana 5G Zone will host a virtual afternoon dedicated to innovative "smart transportation" technologies on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 2 p.m. ET. The event, which features speakers and demonstrations from leaders in the field, will highlight the potential advantages of adopting these technologies and their impact on the US economy.

"If the United States is going to maintain its lead in the global economy, it will need to adopt many of the 'smart transportation' technologies that we will highlight this week," said Sean Hendrix, managing director of the Indiana 5G Zone. "Our goal is to give these companies, universities and institutions, large and small, the opportunity to highlight their innovations and give interested parties a sense of what is coming down the pike in the near future."

RICHMOND, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Connected Solutions Group, LLC (CSG), a national leader in wireless hardware deployment and services, today announced that it has launched a full-scale managed services division. The MSP offerings, which are well over a year in the making, allow the company to offer its customers 24/7/365 support on hardware and services.

"This has been a long time coming for us," said Michael Pittman, CEO at CSG. "Our customers have been asking us for an all-encompassing support and managed services offering and we are beyond proud to be able to offer these services." CSG will offer Managed Services and Support across all its major product categories including all mobile devices, routers, MDM, and OneTalk, Verizon's exclusive VOIP service.

"We really took our time to make sure we got this right," commented James Munsey, COO at CSG. "We've spent the last 18 months building out the offerings and then building a dedicated staff behind them. We've brought on Justin Nuckols to lead the division and a team of seasoned support technicians behind him to offer every tier-level of service."

The MSP/Support offerings are based on monthly subscriptions varying in price depending on the hours of support desired (for example, subscribers can choose weekday business hours support or 24/7 support) and the type of support needed. "We built something that is scalable as a customer grows," said Munsey. "Different levels of service for different customer needs makes this extremely cost-effective for the customer. We can essentially become their outsourced IT department for these devices and services."

CSG views the MSP offering as a gamechanger to both CSG and its customers. "I cannot underscore what a big deal this is to the marketplace," said Pittman. "We are extremely proud of this product, the team behind it, and our ability now to offer true full lifecycle management of the devices and services we offer."

Pittman went on to describe the demand behind managed services. "Mobility hardware is only becoming more complex and simultaneously more prevalent in the business community and 5G is going to see the use cases and efficiencies of these devices expand exponentially. So, with all of this in mind, companies need the support to ensure that their employees can use their devices to their fullest extent and to ensure that any problems are quickly resolved."

"To us," Pittman concluded, "this is the icing on our cake and how we make sure that we are giving our customers everything they need to be successful."

Grand Opening of the Indiana 5G Zone, the first Practical 5G Innovation Lab

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. /ScoopCloud/ -- NineTwelve Announces the Grand Opening of the Indiana 5G Zone, a virtual and onsite practical innovation lab. NineTwelve's 5G laboratory in downtown Indianapolis means significant speed and quantum encryption are possible for technologists, businesses, and visitors throughout Indiana and its worldwide network.

This exclusive public private partnership leverages assets across industry, government and academia. The Indiana 5G Zone is the first practical testbed in the Nation designed to support the development of mission-critical applications such as manufacturing and cities as well as national security applications such as energy and military facilities.

In collaboration with AT&T, Verizon, and XQ Message, NineTwelve officially offers its 5G innovation facility and accelerator services using millimeter wave spectrum, which can deliver unprecedented performance, with download speeds greater than 1 Gbps.

The overall Indy 5G Zone contains a Demo Lab and an Open 5G Testbed. Purdue Engineering College leads the creation of the testbed with one of the first open, end to end configurable 5G research labs in the country.

"We are proud to partner with the state of Indiana ... and with innovators like NineTwelve to launch this pioneering 5G facility. Indy is speedy, and we will drive 5G innovations here," said Mung Chiang, the Dean of Purdue College of Engineering.
