MWC 2016: Parallel Wireless Announces Enterprise vRAN Solution Based on Intel Technology.

“White Box” Enterprise Femtos Orchestrated by HetNet Gateway Allow Mobile Operators to Deploy Enterprise Cellular as Easy and as Cost-effective as Wi-Fi.

Parallel Wireless, Inc., the pioneer in making cellular network deployments as easy and as cost-effective as Wi-Fi, today announces a 3GPP-compliant end-to-end enterprise virtualized RAN (vRAN) solution based on the Cellular Access Point (CAP)/enterprise femto reference designs that use Intel® technology. 

The innovative designs integrate 3G, 4G/LTE, and Wi-Fi with real-time network orchestration, interference mitigation, and resource optimization to enable mobile operators to cost-effectively deploy enterprise HetNets.

The Parallel Wireless approach gives mobile operators the flexibility to choose any Original Device Manufacturer (ODM) CAP hardware that utilizes the Intel® Transcede™ small cell SoC, resulting in much lower hardware CAPEX. As these hardware reference designs combine 3G, 4G/LTE and Wi-Fi functions into a single footprint, using common network connectivity and power, this greatly simplifies the installation and maintenance process.

Orchestration and elastic scheduling, interference management, traffic prioritization, and other enterprise-grade security features on the HetNet Gateway (HNG) from Parallel Wireless make these “white box” Cellular Access Points easy and cost-effective to install and maintain, and deliver substantial TCO savings as a result. 

The Parallel Wireless fully virtualized HetNet Gateway takes advantages of hardware and software advances from Intel, including Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers. These advances enable the delivery of a high-performance, fully-virtualized enterprise RAN on standard high-volume servers. 

In particular, these new capabilities and associated performance gains enable seamless mobility for enterprise customers, while supporting not only multi-technology, but also multi-operator and multi-core capabilities. 

HNG has all the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) functionality needed to orchestrate enterprise vRANs, and no additional gateways (as in SON server, Small Cell gateway/HeNBGW, HNB gateway/Virtual RNC, security gateway, Wi-Fi gateway (TWAG, SaMOG, ePDG), etc.) are required to provide cohesive integration with the macro network and anchor the enterprise cells’ integration into the core network.

Steve Papa, founder and CEO, Parallel Wireless, said, “Parallel Wireless has developed the industry’s first scalable, low-cost, high-performance enterprise vRAN solution enabled by key Intel technologies. 

We are excited to work closely with Intel and its ecosystem partners Alpha Networks, and additional partners to be announced in upcoming weeks, to introduce a solution for enterprises of any size at one-tenth of the cost of currently-available enterprise small cell solutions. Instead of days, deployment takes just a few hours, and doesn’t require RF planning or extensive system integration, as Parallel Wireless HetNet Gateway makes enterprise vRAN not only self-configuring, but self-optimizing, and self-healing. 

Our Enterprise vRAN solution is now being deployed by operators in the enterprise.”

Naser Adas, general manager of the Heterogeneous Network Solutions Group at Intel, said, “By expanding its portfolio based on Intel® technology, Parallel Wireless is addressing the enterprise segment with a scalable, flexible, and high-performance architecture that serves the enterprise across heterogeneous network technologies, from Wi-Fi to cellular small cell solutions.”

Science: A “failed experiment” became a life-saving discovery: The Artificial Skin INTEGRA.Video

This is artificial skin INTEGRA and innovation that revolutionized the treatment of burn victims. It was invented to replace the bandages, which cannot seal large damaged areas.

Patient with extensive burns often die, because bandages cannot heal their wounds quickly. Even if patients survived scars are left on their skin.

Artificial skin consists in collagen polymers. Collagen is a protein found in your skin. Artificial skin help patients grow   new skin without forming scars.

It opened a new era in burn treatment and saved thousands of patient lives.

A “failed experiment” became a life-saving discovery by MIT Professor Ioannis V. Yannas and his colleague Dr. John Burke when their search for a better way to treat severe burn victims led to the discovery of organ regeneration — thought impossible by the scientific and medical communities at the time — as well as a brand new field of medicine.

A Life-Saving Discovery at MIT MechE   

Integra^® Dermal Regeneration Template

INTEGRA^® Dermal Regeneration Template is a two-layer skin regeneration system. The outer layer is made of a thin silicone film that acts as your skin's epidermis. It protects the wound from infection and controls both heat and moisture loss. The inner layer is constructed of a complex matrix of cross-linked fibers. This porous material acts as a scaffold for regenerating dermal skin cells, which enables the re-growth of a functional dermal layer of skin. Once dermal skin has regenerated, the silicone outer layer is removed and replaced with a thin epidermal skin graft. This completes the procedure and leaves you with flexible, growing skin.

Benefits of INTEGRA Template include:

• The permanent regeneration of dermal skin
• Thinner skin grafts resulting in less scarring at the donor site
• Faster healing donor sites
• Immediate physiological wound closure without risking the loss of donor material
• Patients can begin rehabilitation with INTEGRA Template in place
• No reports of rejection
• No immediate need to create donor site wounds
• Donor sites heal faster and can be harvested more frequently
• Post excisional use of INTEGRA Template does not require the use of temporary
  coverings such as allograft, xenograft or synthetic dressings

Indications

BURNS: INTEGRA^® Dermal Regeneration Template is indicated for the post-excisional treatment of life threatening full-thickness or deep partial-thickness thermal injuries where sufficient autograft is not available at the time of excision or not desirable due to the physiological condition of the patient. INTEGRA^® Dermal Regeneration Template is indicated for the repair of scar contractures when other therapies have failed, or when donor sites for repair are not sufficient or desirable due to the physiological condition of the patient.

Integra® Dermal Regeneration template is available in the following sizes in both single and 5 pack configuratons:

2 in x 2 in (25 sq cm)

4 in x 5 in (125 sq cm)

4 in x 10 in (250 sq cm)

8 in x 10 in (500 sq cm)

Year 2015 Global Tablet Vendors market share and Growth: Apple 24%, Samsung 16.2%, Lenovo 5.4%

Despite Apple is leading the global vendors tablet market share with 24% they  have a negative indicator growth of - 21.8%, Samsung with -16.1% growth and ASUS with - 39.9% growth. However Huawei is surprising all with a BIG positive growth indicator of 116.6%

In simple words slate tablets are giving up the market to detachables tablets. Why? :

"One of the biggest reasons why detachables are growing so fast is because end users are seeing those devices as PC replacements," said Jean Philippe Bouchard, Research Director, Tablets at IDC. "We believe Apple sold just over two million iPad Pros while Microsoft sold around 1.6 million Surface devices, a majority of which were Surface Pro and not the more affordable Surface 3. With these results, it's clear that price is not the most important feature considered when acquiring a detachable – performance is."

4Q 2015 WorldWide tablet vendors market share: Apple 24.5 %, Samsung 13.7% , Amazon 7.9%

Despite the holiday season, the worldwide tablet market declined yet again in the fourth quarter of 2015 (4Q15) with 65.9 million units shipped, down -13.7% year over year, according to preliminary data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Tablet Tracker. 

Total shipments for 2015 were 206.8 million, down -10.1% from 230.1 million in the prior year. Despite the market's negative trajectory overall, shipments for detachable tablets reached an all-time high of 8.1 million devices.

The transition towards detachable devices appears to be in full swing as pure slate tablets experienced their greatest annual decline to date of -21.1%. On the other hand, detachable tablets more than doubled their shipments since the fourth quarter of last year.

"This quarter was unique as we had new detachables in the market from all three of the major platform players," said Jitesh Ubrani, Senior Research Analyst with IDC'sWorldwide Quarterly Mobile Device Trackers. "Despite lukewarm reviews, the iPad Pro was the clear winner this season as it was the top selling detachable, surpassing notable entries from Microsoft and other PC vendors.

 It's also important to note that the transition towards detachable tablets has presented positive opportunities for both Apple and Microsoft. However, Google's recent foray into this space has been rather lackluster as the Android platform will require a lot more refinement to achieve any measurable success."

Perhaps the most interesting trend to note is that prices on slate tablets have not yet hit rock bottom. Amazon’s $50 (or $42 for bulk shoppers) tablet was the holiday season's surprise hit, garnering the number 3 rank among the worldwide top 5. Rival vendors like Huawei and Lenovo also continued to focus on the low end while also expanding outside their home country China.

"One of the biggest reasons why detachables are growing so fast is because end users are seeing those devices as PC replacements," said Jean Philippe Bouchard, Research Director, Tablets at IDC. 

"We believe Apple sold just over two million iPad Pros while Microsoft sold around 1.6 million Surface devices, a majority of which were Surface Pro and not the more affordable Surface 3. With these results, it's clear that price is not the most important feature considered when acquiring a detachable – performance is."

Tablet Vendor Highlights

Apple's reign as market leader continued in 4Q15 though the company faced a -24.8% year-over-year decline. With the successful launch of the iPad Pro, the company was able to curb the decline in iPad revenues as its model mix shifted towards higher priced iPads.

Samsung managed to keep its second position in the market though it did decline by -18.1% compared to last year. Samsung is the vendor with the deepest tablet portfolio and manages to reach multiple price points and screen sizes, a position that will facilitate the transition to detachables in 2016.

Amazon's latest Kindle iteration piqued everyone's interest with its low price point, allowing Amazon's annual growth to reach 175.7%, the highest amongst the top 5. Amazon's success in the tablet market has thus far been purely based on price. While this bodes well during the holiday season, it's unlikely the Kindle's success will continue in the remainder of the year.

Lenovo maintained its market share in the last quarter of 2015, shipping 3.2 million units for a -13.5% decline over the same period last year. However, the Yoga, MIIX, and Thinkpad brands' combined traditional PC savoir faire should help Lenovo regain market share in 2016.

Huawei's focus remains on cellular-connected tablets and international expansion. The company has positioned itself well in the adjacent smartphone market and its popularity is likely to bleed over into the tablet market.
