This new extension of Cellular Intelligence highlights Cradlepoint’s commitment to providing enterprises with the freedom to simply connect people, places, and things from anywhere. IT managers will need a new set of tools to meet the unique demands of cellular networking - especially as the Wireless WAN scales. As 5G adoption rates continue to rise, IDC predicts that by 2024, ‘wireless first’ will be mainstream for wide area connectivity, accelerating 65 per cent of organisations to ‘untether” their operations’. As this demand for cellular adoption increases, Cellular Intelligence gives IT teams the necessary tools to manage the unique demands of cellular through sophisticated management and control capabilities.

Now available, Zoom Contact Center, previously Zoom Video Engagement Center, combines unified communications and contact centre capabilities with the useability of the Zoom platform. According to a statement, Zoom Contact Center supports customer service use cases and workflows using channels like video and voice, with SMS and webchat currently in beta. “Zoom Contact Center was carefully designed to meet the needs of the modern agent and end-customer, both of which expect a personalised, digital, and effective contact centre experience,” said Chief Product Officer of Zoom, Oded Gal. “I am pleased to announce the general availability of Zoom Contact Center, building upon the reliable Zoom platform model and bringing the experiences our customers know and love to yet another industry.” The Zoom platform is powering the future of communications beyond meetings with unified communications, the Zoom Developer Platform, Zoom Events, and now Zoom Contact Center.

According to a statement, the diode protects semiconductors and other electronic components from static electricity and noise while suppressing signal deterioration. Shipments of the new product have begun. Electronic components in the high-frequency antennas used in radio communications, such as Wi-Fi®, need to be protected by suppressing high harmonic distortion. The new TVS diode uses this ultra-low capacitance to suppress high harmonic distortion that affects antenna reception performance, and also reduces static electricity and noise that affect the components. ESD suppressors are sometimes used in high-frequency antennas, and they can be replaced by DF2B6M4BSL; TVS diodes have higher protection performance than ESD suppressors, and can reduce static electricity voltage. In addition to improving the reliability of high-frequency antennas, DF2B6M4BSL is also suitable for ESD protection in signal lines. Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation, a leading supplier of advanced semiconductor and storage solutions, draws on over half a century of experience and innovation to offer customers and business partners outstanding discrete semiconductors, system LSIs and HDD products.

The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.
According to a statement, the ratings reflect SEIL’s balance sheet strength, which United States-headquartered AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. The rating downgrades reflect the revision of SEIL’s business profile assessment from neutral to limited. SEIL is a single-parent captive of Shanghai Electric (Group) Corporation, which is wholly owned by the Shanghai municipal government and is one of the largest power generation and industrial equipment manufacturing enterprises in China. SEIL, incorporated in Hong Kong in 2018, and serving as the group’s risk management and insurance arm, mainly assumes premiums from the group and affiliates through inward arrangements with onshore and offshore insurers and reinsurers. Going forward, SEIL plans to grow its traditional lines of business and meanwhile underwrite risks from the group’s overseas engineering projects. AM Best views the change in business strategy as a material deviation from its original business plan, and expects the captive to face an increased level of execution risk in rolling out new plans for its underwriting portfolio strategy. AM Best assesses SEIL’s balance sheet strength at the very strong level, supported by risk-adjusted capitalisation at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). The captive’s risk-adjusted capitalisation is underpinned by its very low underwriting leverage and liquid investment portfolio. SEIL has a moderate exposure in non-investment-grade bonds, which enhance yield. In view of its low-frequency, high-severity risk profile, the captive has arranged a reinsurance programme to protect its capital in 2022. AM Best expects the captive to maintain a sufficient buffer in its risk-adjusted capitalisation to support its risk profile over the next three years. In terms of investment performance, SEIL reported a net investment loss in 2021 as a result of unfavourable market conditions. The captive expects its investment return to recover gradually and stabilise going forward due to its liquid and fixed income-oriented asset portfolio. As the captive represents a fairly small business of the wider group, AM Best views the estimated loss for the group’s annual results for 2021 as having a limited negative impact to SEIL and unlikely to result in a capital repatriation; no rating drag has been applied thus far.
