Advanced Antenna Products Essential for Satellite IoT

The advent of Satellite IoT heralded a new era in wireless connectivity, especially as the technology emerges with low-orbit satellites that offer low energy consumption and broad coverage. In areas where terrestrial mobile networks are unavailable, users and devices increasingly rely on satellites, making them crucial for devices and sensors worldwide to achieve 5G/6G wireless connectivity. In this wireless ecosystem, antennas play a vital role, requiring high quality and reliability to provide stable signal transmission and efficient reception. Leveraging decades of manufacturing experience, TE Connectivity continuously advances antenna technology to achieve robust RF performance with considerations for bandwidth, efficiency, isolation between multiple antennas, and throughput. Whether for standard off-the-shelf antennas or custom products, TE helps support consistent and strong performance.

Jacky Hsu, Senior Manager of IoT Sales & Business Development – APAC, Data & Devices at TE Connectivity, stated: “As the next generation of network technology, Satellite IoT is leading us toward a more intelligent and interconnected world. Advanced antenna technology is crucial to achieving this goal. Therefore, we need to continuously innovate and improve the quality and performance of antenna technology to address the challenges and demands of future wireless communications. TE is committed to developing and providing high-quality antenna products and offering advanced connectivity and sensors to our customers.”

Driving the Intelligent and Green Future of Urban Development

Information and communication technology is key to the development of smart cities. With the evolution of IoT and 5G/6G technologies, municipalities, distribution companies, internet providers, and hyperscale data centers are using advanced connectivity to manage the technology required to operate the resources crucial to competing globally and essential to sustaining the well-being of communities around the world in a more efficient, intelligent, and autonomous way. This development is driven by innovative connectivity products, such as TE’s custom antennas and sealed connectors, lightweight cabling, and multi-attribute sensors. These products help provide interference-free transmission and solid signal performance, incorporating microcells and small cells for 5G connectivity within buildings. TE’s portfolio supports the transformation of traditional technology into smart infrastructures for street lighting and buildings, on-demand transit systems, and real-time smart meters for public parking, home utilities and personal devices, helping smart cities achieve intelligent and green development.

Advancing Healthcare Efficiency and Standards

Healthcare is one of the industries most impacted by IoT.

The Ar-King of Spirits: Ed Arking’s Impact on the Liquor Industry

Published

September 21, 2024

In the interest of providing luxury liquors in a convenient and stress-free format, Served Neat was born. When asked about his intentions for the company, Ed states, “My goal with Served Neat is to create a one-stop shop where customers can easily discover these rare gems.”

MOORESTOWN, N.J., Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Served Neat is an emerging online platform with a curated selection of some of the world’s most popular luxury spirits. The website offers daily flash deals that highlight a variety of high-end international brands including Pappy Van Winkle, Buffalo Trace, Clase Azul, and more.

“While there are websites selling spirits, none have the decades of experience that we bring from WTSO. Served Neat will offer not only incredible bottles but also the best customer service in the industry.”

Ed and Joe Arking, the father-son team behind the concept of Served Neat, have decades of experience hand-selecting and supplying sought-after liquors. Ed Arking, CEO of New Jersey’s Roger Wilco, grew up in the world of wine and spirits and formed his own business aspirations.

“Growing up, I watched my father navigate and succeed in the ever-evolving wine and spirits industry,” Ed explains. “While I always aspired to create something similar, I knew I needed to wait for the right moment.” Ed has gone on to manage his own liquor store and lead projects for up-and-coming brands, such as the vodka-infused and non-carbonated Smooth Water.

As he evolved in his career, Ed discovered the perfect time to make his lifelong vision a reality. He recalls, “I noticed a gap in the market—especially for whiskey and tequila. These categories have surged in popularity, making it difficult for the everyday consumer to find those elusive sought-after allocated bottles.”

When it comes to Served Neat, quality and knowledge is key. Ed adds, “While there are websites selling spirits, none have the decades of experience that we bring from WTSO. Served Neat will offer not only incredible bottles but also the best customer service in the industry.”

Served Neat is the sister company to WTSO and The Wine Market, two online platforms dedicated to sourcing and distributing top-notch wines from every corner of the globe.

At The Wine Market, an online marketplace for the world’s most popular wine brands, convenience and quality are key. Each bottle in their curated collection is a testament to exceptional flavor and craftsmanship.

Since 2006, WTSO has enjoyed creating a unique wine experience and sharing it with new beginners and seasoned connoisseurs alike. Using an extensive network of wineries and wine makers, WTSO connects customers to thousands of brands from top wine appellations around the globe. The strong relationships they’ve formed within the wine world allow the business to deliver authentic and high-quality bottles to homes across the United States.

Wine and spirits lovers alike are invited to explore Served Neat, WTSO, and The Wine Market to find their next favorite bottle. Visit their websites to learn more about these one-of-a-kind online marketplaces!

Summit of Whose Future? Girls Have the Answers: Leaders Must Listen

Young Women Activists Launch “What Girls Want,” Demand World Leaders Put Girls at the Center of Summit of the Future

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today in New York, more than 50 young women from around the world – including Nobel Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai – gathered to take government to task for failing to prioritize girls and young women in the upcoming Summit of the Future. The group is backed by acoalition of girl-centered non-profit organizations, institutions, and funds who synthesized the demands of girls at www.whatgirlswant.com.

At a demonstration near the UN, alongside life-size cutouts of world leaders dressed ironically as “girl experts”, the activists delivered a strong message: world leaders aren’t the experts on what girls want for their futures – girls are.

Eylül Erçin, 19, from Türkiye, shared: “The time has passed for girls and young women to be treated as mere afterthoughts. Leaders must include us in the foundational design of these processes, ensuring that our priorities are integrated into shaping the future we will inherit. Anything less is unacceptable.”

Today’s event is about more than calling out a process failure. Girls i from around the world delivered a forward-looking call to action this week. They expect governments, institutions, and community leaders to step up and help shape a more equitable future.

Alongside fellow activists, Malala said: “Even at 27, I know better than to assume I understand best what girls want. Everywhere I go, girls are eager to share their vision for their futures. As adults, it is our job to listen, fund their work and follow their lead. It is not too late for world leaders to do right by girls. They can start by prioritizing their demands in tomorrow’s final Summit deliberations and by investing resources to match their words.”

The evidence is clear: investing in girls and delivering on their rights transforms economies, societies, and the environment, advancing the SDGs and building a future that girls deserve.

About What Girls Want

This effort was produced by a collaboration of girl-centered organizations, institutions, funders, and allies. The campaign is anchored around work to collate insights, data, and stories from 20+ public consultations with girls and young women over the past decade, driven by a shared desire to center girls’ demands in spaces where they are being ignored.
