Ericsson 5G technology crucial part of Sweden’s next-generation mission-critical network infrastructure, Rakel G2       New 5G core network will ensure fast and secure sharing of voice, data, images, and video      Implementation starts 2024

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) has procured a 5G core network from Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) to develop Rakel G2, Sweden’s critical communications network for public safety and emergency services including national defense purposes.

Police, fire brigades, emergency medical services and military organizations will be able to collaborate more effectively with enhanced situational awareness, provided by secure and fast means of sharing voice, data, images, and video.

Having a secure, accessible, and resilient communications network is crucial for first responders and their organizations helping to prevent and prepare for crises and emergencies – and to operate available resources when they occur. The ability to securely communicate with guaranteed high quality in such emergency situations – particularly when multiple stakeholder agencies are involved – could be a crucial factor in saving lives.

Ronny Harpe, Director, Rakel, and Command Operating Systems, MSB, says: “A prerequisite for cooperation within our national defense is access to a robust, modern, dedicated communications system. An investment in such a system not only strengthens Sweden’s ability to collaborate and lead mission critical operations on an everyday basis, but also during potential large-scale crisis.”

MSB’s new dual-mode 5G Core network from Ericsson will be a crucial part of Sweden’s next-generation Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) mission-critical mobile network, designated Rakel G2.

Jenny Lindqvist, Head of Market Area Europe & Latin America, Ericsson, says: “By providing Ericsson’s latest 5G core technology, we are supporting MSB’s mission to strengthen Sweden’s national critical network. 5G is the most versatile and capable technology available to meet such demanding requirements for secure and effective communications through voice, data, images, and video.”

Ericsson’s 5G core network will initially complement MSB’s existing national radio communications system Rakel, based on the Tetra standard. Rakel is used by more than 650 organizations spanning a range of authorities, including police, customs, military defense, coast guard, rescue services and medical healthcare.

The implementation of the new core network starts in 2024.

Gold and Fractal EMS Announce a Partnership for an American BMS

Published

on

By

ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Fractal EMS Inc. (“Fractal”), a leading provider of advanced solar and storage controls, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Gold Electronic Equipment Inc. (“Gold”), a leading high-tech company specializing in R&D, active balancing technology and manufacturing of the battery management system (BMS). A signing ceremony and celebration was held on September 9th at the RE+ clean energy conference in Anaheim, California. The new partnership will provide a cybersecure American BMS to customers worldwide (“Fractal BMS”).

The Fractal BMS provides a 3-level BMS architecture (module, rack and system).  The design of the Fractal BMS has been finalized, featuring an American-sourced chip, printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), and cybersecurity, ensuring compliance with U.S. policies for sourcing and critical infrastructure protection. The Fractal BMS has the option to provide active cell balancing to maximize each battery cell’s useful capacity and life.

“Other companies proposing an American BMS have not addressed the cybersecurity concerns of the BMS. Some companies are licensing a foreign BMS or only providing a top-level device, neither of which cure cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. We are thrilled to collaborate with Gold to bring this advanced American BMS to the market. This partnership underscores our commitment to innovation, security, and supporting American technology,” said Daniel Crotzer, CEO at Fractal EMS.

Fractal BMS is scheduled for UL testing in late October 2024 and aims to become the gold standard for BESS deployments to mitigate risks associated with Foreign Entities of Concern (FEOC) and known cyber vulnerabilities in programmable devices. The American BMS will be available to battery manufacturers globally, offering a reliable and secure solution for battery management needs.

Developmental & Epileptic Encephalopathy (DEE) Trials: Optimizing Endpoints, Determining MCID, and Enhancing Trial Data Quality, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks

Published

By

In this free webinar, gain insights into the complex challenges of conducting clinical trials for developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. Attendees will learn about approaches for data collection across large geographic areas. The featured speaker will discuss the factors to consider when selecting cognitive and behavioral endpoints. The speaker will also share approaches for determining minimally clinically important difference.

TORONTO, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Clinical trials in patients with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) present considerable challenges for research teams, including the difficulty in identifying patients, the large geographic spread of patients and the need for measurements that can catch even the smallest degree of change in behavior or function.

It becomes a near impossible task to find sites that are in the appropriate geographies and have the level of expertise to administer the scales necessary for signal detection.

One byproduct of these challenges is the difficulty that arises in site selection. It becomes a near impossible task to find sites that are in the appropriate geographies and have the level of expertise to administer the scales necessary for signal detection.

In this webinar, the expert speaker will address these obstacles and share solutions. She will describe approaches to collect data across large geographic areas and in locations that do not have specialized or experienced raters. She will share factors to consider when selecting cognitive and behavioral endpoints for DEE trials, including perspectives from regulatory agencies.

Moreover, she will describe the application of developmental assessments (e.g., Bayley-4) and behavioral scales (e.g., the Vineland-3), along with approaches for determining minimally clinically important difference (MCID) with these measures in DEE populations.

Register for this webinar to gain insights into the complex challenges of conducting clinical trials for developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.

Join Pamela Ventola, PhD, Chief Science Officer, Cogstate, for the live webinar on Thursday, October 3, 2024, at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK).
