NetFoundry Zero Trust Networking API Is Now Available at the World’s Largest API Marketplace – RapidAPI
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Envisioning a future in which users can spin up zero trust, high performance networking, NetFoundry’s API is now available in the world’s largest API marketplace – RapidAPI.
Developers can now implement zero trust, cloud-orchestrated, programmable networking between any set of cloud applications, edge applications, user devices and IoT devices. The resultant private networks eliminate dependencies on MPLS or VPNs.
"We’ve been using the NetFoundry APIs to integrate private networking into our DevOps cycles in a simple, secure and reliable manner, with excellent results improving our automation and agility," said Sergio Sancez, CEO AGT
Idit Oryon, Head of partnerships at Rapid API says, "RapidAPI is excited to collaborate with NetFoundry to offer its cloud native zero trust, programmable networking APIs on the world’s largest API Marketplace. RapidAPI enables developers to easily find, connect to, and manage the APIs they need for building diverse applications without duplicating efforts by building complex code. By making NetFoundry’s software-only, zero trust models accessible to our development community, they can now add zero trust security and optimized performance to their next-generation applications."
"We are delighted to enable developers to simply and programmatically spin up zero trust networking without doing network engineering, leveraging our RapidAPI marketplace API," said Galeal Zino, Founder & CEO of NetFoundry. Galeal continued, "This is the second wave: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) APIs gave developers the abstractions and controls necessary to leverage cloud native compute; now Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) enables developers to easily leverage cloud native networking."
"The NetFoundry platform with their programmable endpoints and APIs enables multi-cloud automation and automates networking inside DevOps constructs," says Ananda Das, CEO of Technilium, Australia.
"Our partnership with RapidAPI enables developers to build next-generation secure-by-design applications that require secure transactions, smart automated digital services," says Sreelakshmi Sarva, Head of Product at NetFoundry.
Developers may now subscribe to the NetFoundry API via the RapidAPI marketplace to spin up application-specific networks termed "NetFoundry AppWANs". AppWANs provide micro-segmented, software-only, high-performance access to applications. These apps can be made to be invisible to the internet, accessible only via the private, zero trust AppWAN overlays. Because the solution is app-specific, software-only and cloud-orchestrated, it can be used to provide security and performance for any application, without disrupting any existing WANs or networks, and without impacting other applications.
About NetFoundry
NetFoundry Inc. is the leader in providing zero trust, high performance, cloud native networking. Customers use NetFoundry’s turnkey, software-only NaaS services and APIs to spin up private, zero trust networks in minutes, securely connecting any application on any device via any Internet access.

Hollyland Technology Announces MARS X, a New Wireless Video System for iOS and Android Devices Monitoring
SHENZHEN, China, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hollyland Technology, the world’s leading wireless video and audio transmission systems manufacturer for filmmaking, live broadcasting, is pleased to announce the launch of the MARS X Wireless HDMI Transmission System. The new generation steps forwards from a traditional wireless video transmission system with a full set of transmitter and receiver to a single transmitter wireless video transmission system that could turn phones and tablets into external monitors by the HollyView App.
MARS Series is a category of wireless video and audio transmission systems and wireless intercoms designed to be user-friendly, portable, and affordable for small-crew videomaking or YouTubing. The new MARS X builds on Hollyland’s heritage of innovation with a brand-new modular design. MARS X weighs 112g and is equipped with collapsible antennas and a single HDMI IN with 1080P and various other resolution formats, which make the device very portable and compact. It also offers a wide collection of cool features on wireless video and audio transmission. It makes studio shooting more flexible and easier to carry & monitor.
 
ONE TO THREE
MARS X turns phones/tablets into external monitors. It supports up to three iOS and Android devices app monitoring. With this single transmitter product, YouTubers or small production teams that do not need to use an external monitor can easily cut down the cost and add this device to their setup to enable app monitoring for themselves, the client or director.
VIDEO & AUDIO SYNCHRONIZATION AND EIGHT FREQUENCY CHANNELS
MARS X has a transmission range over 300ft with a clean line of sight (LOS), and a 150ft suggested best performance range with less than 0.07s ultra-low latency.
It has eight frequency channel options that can be switched to to avoid interference and to ensure a stable wireless transmission.
NEW APP FUNCTIONS ADDED
Firmware Upgrade and Channel Scan are added to the HollyView App on MARS X.
With the firmware upgrade added to the app, users no longer need to use a USB flash and their computer to do the update. While the channel scan is a feature generally on a receiver, it helps users to find out which channels are clean and which ones have interference in sophisticated WiFi surroundings. Hence, users no longer need to try out the channels one by one to find out the best channel to use.
The ‘HollyView’ App has basically all features on an external monitor such as Waveform, Histogram, Focus Assist, False Color, Zoom, 3D Lut, Screenshot, Doodle, Screen Record, etc.
OLED DISPLAY SCREEN
The OLED display includes information such as Battery Status, Frequency Channel, Video Format, and WiFi Password. The 0.69” OLED Screen displays the key information that one needs to know about the system.
COLLAPSIBLE ANTENNAS & MULTIPLE POWER SUPPLY
As previously mentioned, MARS X is designed with collapsible antennas, which provide enhanced transmission performance with the antennas and the portability and convenience without the antennas. From a test conducted by the Hollyland R&D team, if one folds the antennas 20 times a day, it could last up to 1,500 days.
The system also comes with a built-in lithium battery that furthermore increased the portability of the device. With the 1300mA battery, it has a battery life of about 1.5 hours, with the system being used continuously. The Type-C (5V-12V) interface on the device enables wide voltage charging. If users tend to use gimbals a lot, the gear can also be charged while it is being used on all mainstream gimbals.

China issues white paper, sharing experience in COVID-19 fight
BEIJING, June 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A news report by China.org.cn on China’s recently issued white paper "Fighting COVID-19: China in Action":
 
China recently released a white paper titled "Fighting COVID-19: China in Action." At around 37,000 Chinese characters in length, the document records the country’s efforts in its battle against the coronavirus.
The white paper provides a detailed account of China’s response to the unexpected disease. The country enforced quarantine measures on an unprecedented scale, closed outbound routes from Wuhan, halted public gatherings, and introduced rigorous border controls, thus effectively blocking the transmission routes of the virus. China mobilized medical resources across the country, constructed the Huoshenshan and Leishenshan hospitals in around 10 days, and built 16 Fangcang shelter hospitals, thereby massively increasing treatment capacities.
During this unusual period, medical workers rose to the challenge and put themselves in harm’s way. With a firm resolve, the people of Wuhan and Hubei overcame all kinds of difficulties after the closure of the province’s exit channels. Community workers, police officers, customs staff, couriers, sanitation workers, and others from all sectors of society, remained at their posts with unity and dedication. Meanwhile, ordinary people observed self-isolation at home, avoiding outdoor activities and gatherings.
The white paper shows that confronted by the most challenging public health emergency since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the country has succeeded in turning around the situation within a few months. This can be attributed to the philosophy of putting people’s lives first upheld by the government and the whole of society, as well as the united and painstaking efforts of 1.4 billion Chinese people.
Having paid a heavy price, China has contained the spread of the virus within a short time. This represents the country’s responsibility for securing regional and international public health.
Since COVID-19 struck, China has shared information with the international community in a timely manner. From Jan. 11, China started updating the WHO and other concerned parties on a daily basis. On Jan. 12, China submitted the genome sequence of the novel coronavirus to the WHO, which was shared globally. Since Jan. 4, China has maintained close contact with relevant U.S. authorities, sharing information and cooperating on technical matters. The white paper provides a clear timeline of these efforts.
By issuing the white paper, China has published a record of its fight against COVID-19 in an open and transparent manner, and sincerely shared its experience with the rest of the world. Only by acting according to the vision of a global community of shared future can we strengthen confidence, work together, and embrace a brighter tomorrow for mankind.
