Verizon Frontline deployed in support of National Guard training exercise

MUSCATATUCK, Ind., June 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team on Sunday completed a deployment in support of Homeland Defender 23, a four-day training exercise coordinated by the Indiana National Guard and held at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center with more than 500 participants.

The exercise brought together National Guard units, civilian emergency management personnel, first responders and industry partners like Verizon Frontline to practice disaster response operations based on simulated emergency scenarios. The goal of the exercise is to prepare civilian and military organizations to work together as they would on the front lines of an actual disaster.

The training at Homeland Defender 23 is centered around a simulated major earthquake along the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone, which is located in Southeastern Illinois and Southwestern Indiana and capable of producing up to magnitude 7.0 earthquakes. Exercise participants conducted a variety of emergency response drills tied to training scenarios including evacuations and urban search and extraction operations.

“Participation in exercises like Homeland Defender is a foundational element of Verizon Frontline’s overall response strategy,” said Cory Davis, Assistant Vice President, Verizon Frontline. “By working side-by-side with military and public safety agency partners during realistic training scenarios, we’ve been able to build and gain critical insight into their mission and needs during emergency response operations, enabling us to continue to meet those needs.”

With dozens of Verizon Frontline solutions on-hand, including several Satellite Picocells on Trailers (SPOT), Verizon Frontline’s Tactical Humanitarian Operations Response (THOR) vehicle, Verizon’s Rapid Response Connectivity Unit and multiple drones, the Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team established and supported mission-critical communication capabilities for exercise participants at multiple locations across the installation.

While on site, THOR delivered network connectivity and enhanced situational awareness for exercise participants while also serving as a mobile command center.

Verizon Frontline support of this training was provided at the invitation of the Indiana National Guard.

This year’s exercise also featured National Guard units from Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio.


Verizon Frontline
 is the advanced network and technology built for first responders – developed over three decades of partnership with public safety officials and agencies on the front lines – to meet their unique and evolving needs.

The Verizon Frontline Response Team provides on-demand, emergency assistance during crisis situations to government agencies and emergency responders, on a 24/7 basis. Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team members set up portable cell sites, WiFi hotspots, free charging stations and other Verizon Frontline devices and solutions that enable communications and/or boost network performance.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) was formed on June 30, 2000 and is one of the world’s leading providers of technology and communications services. Headquartered in New York City and with a presence around the world, Verizon generated revenues of $136.8 billion in 2022.

Interface Explores Scale, Pattern, Texture & Transitions with New Carpet Tile and LVT Collections

Interface Explores Scale, Pattern, Texture & Transitions with New Carpet Tile and LVT Collections

Global Flooring Manufacturer Highlights Unique Pairings of Aesthetics and Materials, Illustrating How Its Full Flooring System Meets Space-Specific Needs

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Interface®, the global flooring solutions company where everything is certified carbon neutral, continues its commitment to product design and innovation with the launch of two new carpet tile collections – Lost Palms™ and Woven Gradience™ – and the introduction of the new Silk Complex™ LVT collection. With these collections, Interface continues to empower designers with choices in materiality and design details that can significantly influence how people experience a space.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230612594502/en/

“Because flooring is one of the largest surfaces in interiors, it can serve as a blank canvas on which designers can truly design; this means flooring selection can have a huge impact on the mood and intention of a space,” said Nigel Stansfield, Chief Innovation & Sustainability Officer at Interface. “We view these three new collections as more than just products – they are design tools that work as a system, enabling our customers to easily play with scale, texture, color, pattern, and more, to create a floor that addresses the emotional, organizational, and performance needs of their project.”

Lost Palms Carpet Tile Collection: Rugged Beauty for Interior Landscapes

Intentionally designed to capture the natural beauty of the American southwest, the Lost Palms carpet tile collection features nine styles that offer stone-inspired visuals, sizeable scale, and large graphic patterns. Designed by David Oakey, founder of David Oakey Designs and product designer exclusive to Interface, Lost Palms is a truly monumental collection that celebrates biophilic design, with visuals that evoke everything from metamorphic rock formations to the distinctive Joshua tree.

Lost Palms includes five foundational styles – Jumbo Rock™, Cap Rock™, Keys View™, Desert Veins™, and Ribbon Rock™ – that provide a more literal interpretation of rocky terrain in 1 m x 1 m and 50 cm x 1 m formats – all helping to mimic the grandeur of the region.

The collection also includes four accent styles that enable designers to explore more whimsical patterns in earthy colors. Desert Ranch™ from Interface delivers a highly textured, classic southwestern look that is perfect for zone creation, while three companion styles from the company’s specialty design brand, FLOR® — Yucca Tree™, Valley View™, and Desert Tree™ — usher in a modern, Palm Springs aesthetic that gives off a mid-century vibe.

Silk Complex LVT Collection: Transition to Next-Level Sophistication

Building on Interface’s long history of creating carpet tile transitions with pattern, color, and texture, Silk Complex is the company’s first LVT collection to use a system of products to create transitions across the floor. Designed by Kari Pei, Interface’s vice president of global product design, the collection reflects the ongoing evolution of the LVT flooring category by showcasing a sophisticated, brushed matte texture that is reminiscent of silk fabric as well as metallic accents.

Silk Complex includes three products – Shantung™, Dither Silk™, and Silk Age™ – that work beautifully on their own, or they can be combined for a more dramatic effect across the floorscape. Shantung delivers graceful simplicity with a matte texture inspired by woven silk, while Silk Age offers a gilded look that brings light-capturing moments to the floor. Dither Silk introduces a dappling of metallic flecks and serves as a bridge between the two other styles. Together, these products offer versatility through refined transitions that can be dialed up or down in intensity according to a designer’s preference.

Woven Gradience: Color and Texture Combine for Effortless Transitions

Bringing the warmth and comfort associated with woven textiles to interior spaces, the Woven Gradience carpet tile collection pairs classic handwoven aesthetics with an elegant color palette.

Featuring two products, the collection helps to elicit emotion with subtle spectrums of color made up of delicate, organic striations. This allows neutral tones to softly merge into other neutrals, creating a gentle gradient across the floor that can convey intention. Designers may also infuse invigorating contrast into a space with bolder color choices to help delineate zones or to establish wayfinding.

Product Sustainability: Low-Carbon Materials Help Decarbonize Interiors

As the sustainability leader in commercial flooring, Interface remains committed to decarbonizing the built environment. With a continued focus on transforming its factories, products, and supply chain, the company continues to reduce its overall emissions while helping customers lower the carbon footprints of the spaces they create. Like Interface’s entire flooring portfolio, all three of the company’s launches are carbon neutral across their full product lifecycle through the third-party verified Carbon Neutral Floors™ program.

Interface designs its products with the Earth in mind using low-carbon materials, and this has led the company’s carpet tile to have the lowest carbon footprint in the commercial flooring industry – before offsets. Interface’s carpet tile and LVT introductions also reflect this approach — Lost Palms and Woven Gradience are made with 100% recycled content nylon, and Silk Complex, like all Interface LVT, is made with 39% recycled content.

Lost Palms, Silk Complex, and Woven Gradience are all featured in Interface’s Chicago showroom at 345 North Wells Street. Visitors can explore the new collections, plus products from FLOR and nora® rubber flooring, in a tastefully curated setting inspired by southwestern architecture and design elements. The company will share imagery and videos highlighting the space’s design on its social media channels.

Interface, Inc., (NASDAQ: TILE) is a global flooring solutions enterprise with an integrated portfolio of carpet tile and resilient flooring products, where everything is third-party certified carbon neutral.

Keysight Announces RF Calibration and Verification Testing Support for Autotalks Safety Connectivity Vehicle Chipsets

  • Software-based solution automates complex calibration and verification testing for leading cellular vehicle-to-everything chipsets

  • Provides automotive network access device module and telematics control unit makers with a time-saving, off-the-shelf solution

 

SANTA ROSA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announces that its PathWave Test Executive for Manufacturing Developer Version now supports automated RF calibration and verification testing for the Autotalks cellular vehicle-to-everything (LTE V2X) and dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) chipsets. The chipsets are typically used in telematics control units (TCU), which are embedded onboard systems that control wireless tracking, diagnostics, and communication to and from a connected vehicle.

As automotive manufacturers move toward a future dominated by electric and connected vehicles, they are equipping new vehicles with multiple wireless systems. With these complex new systems, design engineers and manufacturing test engineers face increased testing complexity and more complicated, expensive, and time-consuming test and validation procedures. This is especially true of TCUs, which play an important role in vehicle safety and control and must interface with dozens of network technologies and communications protocols.

By providing off-the-shelf support for Autotalks chipsets, Keysight is giving TCU manufacturers a powerful tool that automates complex calibration and verification testing to accelerate time to market. This software-based solution offers the following benefits:

  • Supports industry-leading chipsets – Autotalks is a leader in the safety connectivity ecosystem, providing 5G V2X, LTE V2X, and DSRC communication chipsets to automotive manufacturers around the globe.
  • Speeds up complex testing scenarios – Automated control of Autotalks chipset and Keysight test instruments enables manufacturers to use the solution as a standard test solution for their production line.
  • Reduces deployment time and costs – Off-the-shelf solution does not require manufacturers to develop or maintain costly custom testing software or have deep wireless / radio frequency expertise for its development and use.
  • Built on proven Keysight technology – Testing software runs on the Keysight E6640A Wireless Test Set and is automated by the KS8328A PathWave Test Executive for Manufacturing Developer Version.

Amos Freund, Vice President of Research & Development, Autotalks, said: “This collaboration with Keysight Technologies gives our mutual customers access to a turnkey calibration and verification solution, instead of going through the costly internal development process. Keysight implemented and automated Autotalks’ calibration guidelines and optimized it for performance utilizing Keysight’s equipment capabilities.”

Thomas Goetzl, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight’s Automotive and Energy Solutions, said: “This solution is a great example of our deep collaboration with Autotalks and the breath of our V2X test solutions from R&D to manufacturing. The solution abstracts the complexity of RF calibration and verification of chipsets into a simple and easy-to-use test sequence. With a software-centric approach, we enable our customers to focus on their priorities of high production throughput and high-quality products.”
