Maxis Right Cloud Simplifies Cloud Adoption for Businesses

Leave a comment

Maxis is working hard on delivering a full complement of services to their customers – be it consumers or businesses. This week saw the launch of one of their newest offerings: Maxis Right Cloud, a one-stop solution for the management of multi-cloud operations developed in-house at Maxis.

Maxis Right Cloud will enable adopters to manage their business clouds from a single platform. Naturally, being a convergent platform, Maxis Right Cloud is cloud-agnostic. This means that it supports not only services from Maxis but also from leading private and public cloud providers like Amazon web services (AWS), Microsoft, and Google. It will allow companies to use a single dashboard to access all the information needed to run the business.

The platform is supported end-to-end by Maxis’ very own, in-house expertise. Everything from assessing, designing, migrating, building, securing, and managing cloud infrastructure will be easily accessible on Maxis Right Cloud. Right Cloud is complemented by the company’s competent technical team who have been certified by companies like AWS and Microsoft for their expertise. In addition, the company has also acquired the necessary expertise to complement its workforce from recent acquisitions such as its acquisition of ICMS and Peering One not too long ago.

The Maxis Programmable Network (MPN) provides the backbone for the new offering. The MPN is the first programmable software-defined network with Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) 3.0 certification. This backbone provides a level of scalability and customizability that allows users to be agile and adapt to the fast-changing IT environments without having a lapse in performance.

When it comes to cost, Maxis is looking to adopt a pricing structure similar to leading cloud providers like AWS and Microsoft. Typically, this would entail a pay-as-you-go pay model which should enable SMEs and startups to benefit from the offering.

The introduction of Maxis Right Cloud comes as the latest in series of announcements that gear Maxis to be one of the foremost providers when it comes to converged solutions. The company has been building its capacity to leverage its infrastructure to spur digitization efforts and prepare businesses in Malaysia for 5G adoption.

Medigate and CrowdStrike to Provide Healthcare Organizations with Unified Endpoint Security for Medical IoT Devices

Leave a comment

Integration enables comprehensive visibility, enhanced risk management and security enforcement

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Sept. 9, 2021 — Medigate, healthcare’s Best in KLAS IoT Security Provider, today announced it has partnered with CrowdStrike, a leading provider of cloud-delivered endpoint and workload protection, to provide healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) with the industry’s first consolidated view of threat activity and incident response capability spanning all connected assets.

With the number of medical devices connecting to a hospital’s network increasing on a daily basis, HDOs struggle to maintain visibility of the location and activity of each endpoint that a device may connect to, as well as protect and manage them. Medigate and CrowdStrike solve this challenge by streamlining security responses and improving overall network efficiency.

The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform integrates with the Medigate platform allowing HDOs to perform comprehensive risk management, anomaly detection and enhanced response. The integration provides hospitals with comprehensive visibility into all managed and unmanaged devices along with enhanced threat detection capabilities that power accurate responses.

"We’ve seen a significant number of cyber and ransomware attacks against hospitals in the past year and it will only continue to rise in the future. A hospital’s focus needs to be on patient care, rather than responding to outside threats," said Matthew Polly, vice president of Worldwide Alliances, Channels and Business Development. "Medigate’s unique focus on the healthcare IoT industry is highly effective in helping to reduce attack surfaces. With CrowdStrike and Medigate, HDOs can accurately see, detect, respond and prevent attacks across the IT and clinical landscape to keep their operations and their data – including the patient information – safe."

"Today’s HDOs face specific challenges that need specialized solutions, not only in securing their vital personnel and devices, but in creating processes that ensure the benefits of connected health. By partnering with CrowdStrike, we are delivering on this vision by empowering HDOs to detect and shut-down attacks," said Jonathan Langer, chief executive officer of Medigate. "The endpoint protections our joint solution enables positions HDOs for the safe adoption of telehealth, remote patient monitoring and other networked care initiatives."

Todd Felker, former Director of Information Security at Torrance Memorial Medical Center: "As care delivery continues to fragment, the need for a centrally managed, integrated approach to securing both clinical and non-clinical endpoints is obvious. That’s why the Medigate/CrowdStrike partnership makes so much sense. I’m sure my enthusiasm for the benefits of this partnership are shared across the industry."

For more details on the Medigate and CrowdStrike partnership, check out the "Endpoint Security for Clinical Networks" solution brief.

About Medigate
Connected devices bring complicated risks, so Medigate created a simple platform to orchestrate and augment HDO security. Medigate gives the confidence to see, secure, and manage all the devices connected to the enterprise network and turn the associated data into a powerful resource for asset management and operational efficiency. It means the end of any compromise between security and usability – put simply, it allows HDOs to connect with confidence.

DJI Launches the DJI OM5 – Mobile Film Making Just Got A whole Lot Better for MYR 689

Leave a comment

When DJI launched the OM4, we thought that it was the best DJI could make a gimbal for smartphones. At the same time, they made a smartphone gimbal that was more affordable than ever, in terms of a fully featured gimbal for smartphones for that matter. Those were the few criteria that influenced our purchase of our very own DJI OM4 gimbals. Then the DJI OM5 launched.

The DJI OM5 and the DJI OM4 shares a lot of similarities, to begin with. They are both foldable, and ultra-portable, the DJI Om5’s design allowing it to be a lot more so. Both have a large battery that you can charge via USB Type-C. Both also feature the same magnetic modular design that allows a larger convenience and versatility with any number of smartphones. In some sense, the OM5 is really the OM4 in a different body.

Except there are some differences that make the OM5 a better smartphone gimbal for content creators and even floggers. For one the DJI OM5, while being more compact than ever, packs an extension rod that extends up to 215mm to create new angles and opens new shooting options, especially when your main contents are vlogs.

The DJI OM5 also comes with a slew of improvements on the software end to make film making on smartphones easier and better. With new ShotGuides, DJI automatically understands your environment and cleverly recommends templates and even guides for getting the best out of your smartphone and gimbal set up. The end goal is to achieve a video that looks professionally filmed on your smartphone. There is also ActiveTrack 4.0 that is supposed to be a lot more responsive and cleverer than before to ensure that your tracked subject is never out of frame even when the subject turns around.

The more compact design and clever folding mechanism makes the DJI OM5 even more portable than before. At just about 300g, it is even lighter than the OM4 that it replaces. If you already have a DJI OM4, the magnetic attachments are also compatible with the OM5. It still features all the software capabilities that made the DJI OM4 such a friendly tool for content creators. You still get Gesture Controls to remotely activate your DJI OM5 and smartphone to either take group photos or a group footage even. You still get TimeLapse, MotionLapse, HyperLapse, and even Panoramas function on the OM5 as well. For more creative flexibility and inspiration, Story Mode templates are there for you.

On top of all of that, the DJI OM5 also comes with a fresh new magnetic accessory that would really help in a lot of content creation situations, especially in low-light condition. The new Fill Light Phone Clamp is a friendly clamp for your smartphone just like the regular magnetic phone clamp you are familiar with if you come from the DJI OM4. Except, the new clamp comes with LED fill lights on the clamps itself. The built-in battery powered LEDs ads a fill light of sorts in three colour temperature options. It is also perfect for vloggers that needs the perfect sort of lighting anywhere.

The DJI OM5 is now available in Malaysia for MYR 689. You can get your hands on one from DJI’s online retail partners, Shopee and Lazada, or DJI official stores across Malaysia. It is available in two colour options: Athens Grey and Sunset White. Currently though, only the Athens Grey variant is available. The Sunset White variant is expected to be available 15th September 2021 onward and will ship out 20th September 2021 onward.

Ossia’s™ Cota® Real Wireless Power System Receives European and UK Regulatory Approval Without Any Distance Limitations

Leave a comment

Ossia’s Cota technology has successfully met the standards required to use the CE and UKCA marks on Cota-enabled products that send and receive power wirelessly without any distance limitation

REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 8, 2021 — Ossia Inc., the company behind Cota® Real Wireless Power™ — the patented technology that delivers power over-the-air, at a distance, and without the need for line-of-sight — today announced that it has successfully passed both EU and UK regulatory assessments. This is the first RF based non-line-of-sight, wireless power technology at-a-distance product to receive EU/UK Type Examination Certificates and that can bear both the CE and UKCA marks.

The Type of Examination Certificates received from an EU Notified Body and UKCA Conformity Assessment Body confirm the Cota system’s compliance with the radio, emissions, immunity, and RF safety standards applicable under the EU Radio Equipment Directive and the UK Radio Equipment Regulation. Along with compliance with the European restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical equipment (RoHS) and product safety requirements, the Cota system complies with the UK and European Union essential requirements and can be licensed and sold with the CE marking in Europe and the UKCA mark in the UK. Previously, the Cota system was only authorized for sale in the US.

This certification, which does not have a distance limitation for delivery of wireless power over-the-air, comes on the heels of two recent US FCC certifications of Cota wireless power technology, and enables the company to service its clients globally. The lack of distance limitation is a significant advantage; a single Cota transmitter has been tested to safely and effectively deliver power over air without any distance limitation.

"We couldn’t be more excited to bring our ground-breaking wireless power technology to more countries and regions in the world. These milestone achievements pave the way for multiple global approvals of Cota Real Wireless Power at-a-distance. While other wireless power technologies require line-of-sight and offer insignificant power that requires the system to switch off in environments with humans, Cota can effectively power devices in the consumer, commercial and industrial spaces," said Doug Stovall, Ossia’s CEO. "Even if the device is on the move or is not in line-of-sight of the transmitter, power can be efficiently and continuously delivered with Cota. This certification paves the way for a whole new level of innovation and product development across a wide range of industries globally," continued Stovall.

Cota Real Wireless Power is currently being deployed in multiple customer applications, including as an asset tracker for the logistics and transportation industry in the US. Ossia has more than 158 issued and allowed patents globally and 213 active utility patent assets for its wireless power transfer system. The EU and UK certification is the latest official recognition of achievement for the company and its technology.

"This certification is a critical step to empowering existing and emerging EU- and UK-based technologies to become free of wires and batteries, which can improve environmental footprints by decreasing reliance on disposable batteries, decreasing costs, and enabling a whole new world of smart products. We are committed to bringing the full range of wireless power at a distance technology to more countries and global brands," said Stovall.

Global wireless power devices based on this EU and UK certification will be available through Ossia’s commercial partners.

About Ossia

Ossia Inc. is leading the world on what is possible with wireless power. Ossia’s flagship Cota® technology redefines wireless power by safely delivering remote, targeted energy to devices at a distance.
