<p>Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) and other cryptocurrencies have opened the doors to a whole new world of finance. In their most basic form, cryptocurrencies allow people to transact in a fully trustless, transparent and efficient manner, cutting out the centralized intermediaries and counterparty risk previously associated with digital money transfers. </p>
<p>Thanks to blockchain technology, value can now be transferred on a worldwide scale within seconds/minutes and with relatively low fees — but that’s not all. However, Bitcoin and Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) are still too volatile to be used as currency, a factor that has hindered their mass adoption.</p>
<p>Although Bitcoin and blockchain technology are still in their infancy, volatility is still predominant in the industry, which has led to the creation of something that takes the best of both worlds — stablecoins. Popular examples include Tether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/tether-price-index">USDT</a>) and USD Coin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/usdc-price-index">USDC</a>).</p>
<p>While cryptocurrencies themselves are volatile, their underlying technology can be leveraged to create assets pegged to and backed by more stable assets, such as fiat currencies, precious metals and others. These stablecoins are mostly used for common payments and exchange settlements. Certain stablecoins have become extremely popular since they are pegged to the United States dollar and have attained a market capitalization of over <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/tether-s-market-cap-hits-50b-as-stablecoin-adoption-grows">$51 billion for USDT</a> and around <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/biggest-one-day-usdc-print-in-history-marks-lowest-bitcoin-dominance-in-years">$14 billion for Coinbase-backed USDC</a>.</p>
<p>Stablecoins have become a new asset class of their own, seeing popularity grow among both retail and institutional demographics alike for their unique properties. Now, decentralized finance and nonfungible tokens are the new game-changers of the industry and, together with stablecoins, provide new and exciting possibilities for financial inclusion.</p>
<h2>Centralized and decentralized stablecoins</h2>
<p>The concept of coins like USDT is simple. In theory, companies backing these stable cryptocurrencies keep a reserve of the underlying asset — in this case, the U.S. dollar — and issue the corresponding amount of blockchain-based tokens.</p>
<p>However, stablecoins have issues of their own. The most prevalent is the fear that stablecoin issuers can manipulate their reserves and audits to issue unbacked tokens. While iFinex — the parent company of crypto exchange Bitfinex and a USDT issuer — is adamant that <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/tether-s-reserves-are-fully-backed-according-to-latest-assurance-opinion">USDT is always 100% backed by reserves</a>, some in the industry remain skeptical as seen by the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/tether-to-report-reserves-and-pay-18-5m-fine-after-settlement-with-nyag">recently settled court case</a> between the New York Attorney General’s office and Tether.</p>
<p>The aforementioned issues have prompted developers and entrepreneurs in the space to create decentralized stablecoin systems, the most popular of which is MakerDAO and its USD pegged token, the Dai. MakerDAO uses Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) to create a decentralized and verifiable reserve for stablecoin issuance.</p>
<p>Other options are also available. Kava has leveraged a similar system to create crypto-backed stablecoins that are pegged to the USD, allowing users to provide liquidity with multiple assets such as Bitcoin and <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/xrp-price-index">XRP</a> in order to issue USD-pegged stablecoins. John Wu, president of Ava Labs — the team supporting the development of Avalanche — told Cointelegraph:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Decentralized stablecoins have played a vital role in the growth of DeFi. Without the innovation of MakerDAO to create synthetic U.S. dollars backed by crypto, the ecosystem would not be nearly as mature as it is today.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>While it is a novel concept, it can also be dangerous for those providing liquidity to the system. Given that Dai is backed by Ether, a high collateralization ratio must be provided by participants who are also exposed to the risk of being fully liquidated should the price of Ether drop drastically.</p>
<p>When speaking about the launch of new concepts like the hybrid stablecoin, Wu mentioned a recently launched FRAX stablecoin that combines collateral and algorithmic supply controls, adding: “The innovations provided by the likes of MakerDAO and Kava come, however, at a high risk, which is intensified by the high congestion rates of the Ethereum blockchain.”</p>
<h2>The issue with the underlying asset</h2>
<p>Decentralized stablecoins are an alternative to simple stablecoins like USDT, but the volatility of cryptocurrencies also makes them dangerous for liquidity providers, holders and users of the stablecoin. Now several companies are attempting to find a solution that allows decentralized and centralized stablecoins to “meet in the middle.”</p>
<p>For example, Five5Five has created and will soon launch a new stablecoin model where a stablecoin can be pegged to the U.S. dollar while removing the danger associated with volatile cryptocurrency reserves. The USD Reserve (USDR) is a gold-backed cryptocurrency that can maintain a one-to-one ratio with the dollar.</p>
<p>This solution protects against the potential liquidation and price fluctuations associated with decentralized stablecoins. At the same time, such a coin can be backed with a high collateralization rate that will allow it to balance volatility or a sudden change in market situations. In this example, the company has chosen to issue the stablecoin on the Bitcoin Ultimatum blockchain — a decentralized ecosystem with smart contracts, leased-proof-of-stake mining algorithm in conjunction with proof-of-authority, private transactions, and leasing and staking solutions. Eric Ma, CEO of Bitcoin Ultimatum, told Cointelegraph:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“The BTCU blockchain was particularly selected for the development of the USD Reserve (USDR) stablecoin because of its capabilities, such as high-speed transactions, ability to conduct anonymous transactions, improved scalability, smart contract capabilities and multi-chain interoperability.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>While other projects have also tried to tackle the issue of protecting users against the volatility of the underlying asset by using “baskets” of fiat currencies instead of one single currency, to issue a stablecoin that is pegged to various assets, most have so far failed to achieve this feat — most notably, the Libra project by Facebook, which has been stopped on its heels by regulators, much like Sogur.</p>
<p>USDR will allow holders to hedge against the inflation of a single fiat currency — USD — given that the coin is backed by gold and not fiat or a volatile cryptocurrency. Jeremy Harbour, CEO and founder of Five5Five, told Cointelegraph: “The internet needs a reserve currency. The sheer demand for stablecoins demonstrates that the challenge is always what sits behind these stablecoins.” He added that the gold reserves were obtained by the company “in partnership with artisanal gold miners and so brings much-needed capital into some of the poorest places in the world to provide much needed direct investment into their communities.”</p>
<h2>Metal-based stablecoins</h2>
<p>While USDR aims to create a stablecoin for the U.S. dollar that protects users against inflation and downward price swings, and MakerDAO and Kava have tried to use cryptocurrencies to provide a trustless solution, other projects have gone for a simpler approach.</p>
<p>Projects like DigixDAO and Paxos issue stablecoins pegged and backed by precious metals such as gold. However, they still rely on centralized reserves, raising the same issues that plague USDT, USDC and, to a degree, even USDR.</p>
<p>In a bid to solve this issue and provide users with a semi-decentralized solution for precious-metal backed stablecoins, Aurus has issued precious-metal-based coins for gold, silver and platinum that are backed and pegged to these assets.</p>
<p>However, instead of using centralized reserves, Aurus works with multiple metal producers and foundries to create precious-metal-backed tokens that have distributed reserves, ensuring that users are always protected against single points of failure. Guido van Stijn, CEO of Aurus, told Cointelegraph:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“We could have built a centralized solution, but if we want mass adoption for products like AurusGOLD and AurusSILVER, we need the acceptance of the precious metals industry itself while making our system open and beneficial for everyone.”</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>The road ahead</h2>
<p>While none of the solutions mentioned above are 100% perfect, the thought process behind the continued development of stablecoins is a quite noticeable one. So much so that governments are also working on their own version of stablecoins, known as central bank digital currencies, and countries such as China have already begun testing these systems.</p>
<p><strong><em>Related:</em></strong> <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/rolling-up-the-sleeves-china-s-tech-giants-drive-digital-yuan-adoption"><strong><em>Rolling up the sleeves: China’s tech giants drive digital yuan adoption</em></strong></a></p>
<p>However, many worry that CBDCs will be nothing more than virtual versions of fiat currencies that will leverage centralized blockchains, offering no real innovation. As such, it’s interesting to see how the cryptocurrency community will continue to invent and develop new solutions for stablecoins, while Bitcoin continues on its path to fulfilling its ultimate goal of replacing fiat currencies completely — something that may or may not happen.</p>

<p>Ethereum 2.0 – the long-awaited upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain has<span class="Apple-converted-space"> b</span>een on the cards for quite some time now. Since then, the community, including miners, has been debating over the implications of the change in the consensus mechanism.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>The upgrade would mean Ethereum moving from its tried and tested PoW protocol to the PoS protocol. The 2.0 blockchain has been worked upon for almost six years now. The single-laned 1.0 blockchain would be replaced by the multi-laned 2.0 upgrade, which would help to boost the number of concurrently handled transactions.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>With time, PoS would gradually put a full stop to Ethereum mining. A few from the community have already started <a href="https://twitter.com/GrennHouseGas/status/1388022615512469504" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">urging</a> miners to “conservatively put an end to mining by the end of the year.” However, pointing out the feasibility of the same, Chinese journalist Colin Wu <a href="https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/1388188876548698112" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">clarified</a>,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>“We consulted some ETH miners in China, they generally believe that ETH cannot end PoW by the end of this year. Developers hope to complete ETH2.0 before the end of the bull market, but this is an impossible task.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Colin Wu further added,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“There is even a view in China that ETH2.0 will never be completed.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The 2.0 launch has been <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/ho2zpt/ama_we_are_the_efs_eth_20_research_team_pt_4_10/fxizbhp/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">delayed</a> for quite some time now. In August last year, Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, said,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“I definitely freely admit that Ethereum 2.0 is much harder than we expected to implement from a technical perspective. I definitely don’t think that we discovered any fundamental flaws that make it impossible, and I do think it will be finished. It’s just a matter of time, and it’s actually been progressing quite quickly lately.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In terms of energy efficiency, the shift from PoW to PoS is going to be advantageous. Highlighting the reduced power consumption and lesser equipment costs, one miner <a href="https://twitter.com/DeezBitsnBytes/status/1387861048493973504" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">said</a>,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>“I have a lot of belief that their network will be a serious space for change. Adoption is happening. People are interested.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>However, he was quick to also add, <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>“I am not destroying the earth by mining… Let me remind you that PoW got Ethereum to where it’s at today. It will fall when miners shift. ”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>People from the community have gotten into frequent PoW vs PoS <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/bitcoin-energy-debate-two-opposing-views-which-is-true/" data-wpel-link="internal">arguments</a> in the past. The “show of force” and “miner revolt” that was set to happen at the beginning of <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/ethereum-what-is-everyone-getting-wrong-about-eip-1559/" data-wpel-link="internal">April</a> was called off. Realizing the disastrous consequences of a chain split, the opposing mining community took a step behind.</p>
<p>So now, even if the ongoing debate heats up, a chain split or hard fork seems quite unlikely because the miners would not “point a shotgun at their own feet” by choosing losses over faint profit margins.</p>
<p>The shift to 2.0 would make attacks on the network even more expensive, however, it should be noted, the PoS protocol hasn’t been tested at such a massive scale before. Ethereum is going to be the biggest cryptocurrency to transition to the PoS consensus mechanism.</p>

But there are many questions as well. Is it still a good idea to buy Bitcoin at these price levels? How much should I invest to become a millionaire in the future? More importantly, what do experienced investors know that we don’t?</p>
<p>In this article we will discuss the top 5 secrets that, if applied, can help you become a Bitcoin millionaire in the next few years. Let’s get started.</p>
<p><strong>Secret #1: Ask the right questions</strong><br />
Knowing what information to digest and which to avoid is the secret between unrealistic expectations and successful investments. Of course, for this to happen you will need to rapidly grow your understanding of Bitcoin, blockchain, and the cryptocurrency markets. Most of the real experts out there are seasoned financial professionals with years of experience and exposure in Bitcoin.</p>
<p>All this leads to the ability to cut through the fluff and understand what you should be focusing on. In other words, asking the right questions. Maybe checking for another long-term price prediction is not the best way to go if you are considering a large allocation of money. Maybe what is more important is understanding how “losing all your money” is not an option unless you sell. This brings us to the second point.</p>
<p><strong>Secret #2: Twitter and Podcasts</strong><br />
Twitter may be somewhat “outdated” as a social media channel, but it is the hotspot for financial analysts, crypto bugs and Bitcoin enthusiasts. There is no other channel or resource that will help you build a list with people who provide invaluable knowledge that you can later apply to increase your wealth. This is true for traders as well.</p>
<p>Podcasts, on the other hand, are more of a deep dive into the minds of the people who have already achieved the goal you are pursuing. They have already become millionaires through their ability to predict the directions of financial markets. Therefore, some are certainly worth a look (start from The Pomp Podcast).</p>
<p><strong>Secret #3: HODL</strong><br />
I’m sure you heard that one before. Holding onto your coins may seem like an easy task but it’s not. The emotional rollercoaster you have to go through every single day can quickly put a strain on you. Therefore, make sure you follow Secret 1 and 2 throughout the whole duration of this journey. People who only look at price targets will eventually sell at the first pump.</p>
<p>HODL is the simplest way you can follow to eventually become a millionaire through Bitcoin.</p>
<p>Here is why this is important: Bitcoin is just getting started. The economic uncertainty we are currently undergoing does not only prove the importance of a decentralized store of value but hints at its future potential. Check what Michael Saylor, owner of publicly-traded company MicroStrategy has to say about this:<br />

<p><strong>Secret #4: Give some away</strong><br />
This may sound counterintuitive. Why would you even wanna part from your Bitcoin? Well, giving a small amount of Bitcoin to friends and relatives plays an important role in both the adoption of Bitcoin and the distribution among the public. At the moment, there are only a handful of people (figuratively speaking) that hold the majority of Bitcoin. If these people would distribute their wealth among others, there would be fewer points of failure.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that redistribution of Bitcoin holdings will eventually occur once people start to pump the price higher, causing whales to sell their coins for a profit. Over time, it is nearly inevitable for the userbase of the alternative monetary system to grow exponentially.</p>
<p><strong>Secret #5: Rebalance your portfolio</strong><br />
Most people that choose to invest in Bitcoin have at least some experience when it comes to investing. The grand majority has more trust in gold at the moment since their understanding of Bitcoin is rather limited. However, they will eventually catch up to the reasons why Bitcoin outperforms gold in all possible ways, and that will reflect in the coin’s price.</p>
<p>Knowing this right now offers an unprecedented opportunity – the opportunity to decrease your exposure to gold and increase your exposure to Bitcoin. Since most people are still hesitant and scared to shift towards BTC, you can do so ahead of the mainstream, which in turn will help you catch the next price wave upwards.</p>
<p><strong>The <a href="https://paybis.com/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bitcoin current price</a> does NOT reflect its real value, which is much higher!</strong></p>
<p>Of course, don’t expect to see results instantly. There are still many stubborn investors with not much of a technological understanding. However, in the next few years, we can expect to see Bitcoin flip gold’s market cap, making it the most trustworthy store of value – one run solely by code.</p>

Dont quote me on this, I just made it up. BUT, what this story is about is the amazing number of idiots that believe in the so called get rich quick schemes offered up in the cryptocurrency world. There are two types on scams, the imitation scammers that set up fake sites to steal peoples hard earned assets by appearing to be a real site but are not, and the get rich quick scammers that are split into two groups; the liars that just want to steal your money and the criminals that set up pyramid and ponzi schemes.</p>
<p>Now, you might ask, what is the difference between all three of these in the crypto world in comparison to those in the real currency world and the answer is simply this: in the real currency world there are regulators, in the crypto world there is nothing.</p>
<p>The reality is like this, and now you can quote me: “The world of cryptocurrency is not regulated, it is owned by private individuals and organizations that are trying to get rich by circumventing the real currency and asset world by promising amazing results based on their technological advances.” In other words, a bubble of a virtual bubble that gains its value only through the fevered imagination of those that would hope to get rich quick.</p>
<p>Now add to this confusion (over 9,000 tokens and coins traded over 2,000 exchanges) the reality that these platforms, sites and tokens are all owned by private non regulated people, in some instances registered in shady countries that have even less regulation. Add a pinch of online marketing magic to make things look so amazing, such as a team of professionals with doctorate degrees (as if that is a sign of ethical standing) and then punch into this weirdly named new concepts that are basically mirrors of the banking worlds asset management systems renamed with such cool names as “liquidity pools” and “staking” and you have the makings of a whole new world of wonder where the average citizen will run to as if the pied piper of Hamlin hypnotizes them.</p>
<p>So, what am I getting to…take all these virtual worlds and inject into them the criminal element, take into account that a lot of the sites and tokens are already owned by criminals, and now you have the added benefit of being scammed in a virtual world.</p>
<p>So, here are some questions for you, for everyone:</p>
<h2>The Crypto Sucker Test (Are you a sucker?)</h2>
<p>1) If you walk into a casino and you buy the casino chips for real money would you then take them and give them to a total stranger that stands next to you in the casino and says “Give me $100 and I will give you back $1000 tomorrow”…well, would you?<br />
2) If you had to chose between investing your $$$ in a banking asset platform such as the stock exchange or more solid but lower income dividend assets or converting that money into casino chips being offered by a casino that does not have any proof of legitimacy and promising you easy returns? Would you do this?<br />
3) If someone walks up to you in the street and say’s give me your $$$ and I will give you back ten fold in BTC tomorrow, would you do this???<br />
4) if you entered a casino and were told you don’t need to gamble, just “stake” your chips in a vault and earn interest, would you?</p>
<p>So there you have it, four questions (1 & 3 are similar) now go answer them and see if you are a sucker or not.</p>

<p>One of the biggest issues today, during the Covid-19 era, is how online has become the mainstay for billions of users. Literally billions of people around the world are turning to the internet as a solution to their lockdown environment. Whether it is for work at home, or for ordering food and services and streaming social media the internet is the today’s solution for lockdown.</p>
<p>Two by products of the internet have grown exponentially, one is the online sex scene, and that is not being discussed here, the second is online gambling, which is our focus.</p>
<h3>Analog Gambling vs Digital Gambling</h3>
<p>Gambling has been around ever since the first human walked the earth, it is part of our nature to gamble. Whether we gamble for money or for thrills (and in some cases endangering lives) we actually gamble every day unintentionally. Gambling is essentially a decision making quandary when an outcome is not known and we do not have the information to know the outcome. Yet we decide to make a decision knowing we do not know the outcome. Analog gambling has two controls, the first is our contact the situation and the second is the situation itself. Lets take a closer look:</p>
<h4>Analog Environment</h4>
<p>You are sitting at a black jack table in a casino, you know the game and you know the risks. You know the house always wins in the end because the rules of payout are preset in the favour of the house. Yet, with this in hand, you will still try to beat the house. This is straight forward gambling. The only other forces that can impact your success are either your mental state, such as; are you drunk? or the house ethics such as, are the cards stacked. Then there are cheats such as card counting, or card marking. In an untainted environment where everything is legitimate, the outcome is based on your understanding of the game, the cards coming out and the house rules.</p>
<p>Now let’s take a look at the digital environment, and why so many “mugs” are daft enough to gamble online. (And yes, I am not mincing my words or making them softer for you.) if you gamble online you are a mug, not a gambler. A gambler is someone that has a certain amount of control over the environment, a mug is someone that has none.</p>
<h4>Digital Environment</h4>
<p>The world of the internet provides us with extreme graphic experiences, it plays on our emotions and needs using graphic representation. Just as we initially eat with our eyes, food has too look good first, so too does the casino need to be enticing, and nothing is more enticing than a perfect digital scape. Digital is all about the eyes! and then there is digital psychology where colours and icons are used in combination with 3D and HD rendering making the user interface exciting. So far, no different from the real world, especially if you visit Las Vegas. However, there is one big difference between Las Vegas and Digital: in Las Vegas you still have control over your environment, you still get to decide which game to play in which location and how you play it. You also rely on the ethical integrity of the casino to abide by its own rules.</p>
<p>Now lets go online, where is the difference? It is in the environment. The software that the casino uses to generate the outcomes. These systems are mathematically weighted and controlled. These algorithms emulate the real life outcomes but come with one adjustment, they come with a weighted percentage of success added in. This essentially provides the digital casino owner with 100% proof of success.</p>
<h4>What is Weighted Percentage of Success?</h4>
<p>The weighted percentage of success is an additional algorithm added to the game algorithm and takes into account all the players in the game adding a percentage of overall success for all of the money being staked. It takes a percentage of this money, for instance 5% and claims this as income for the casino. This means that no matter how much money is being used and no matter how many people are online, the system will take 5%. This algorithm is different for each game, where some games have a higher profit rate than others. Some games go all the way up to 25% or more. Now the more ethical sites will only take around 5-10%, but there are less ethical sites and they will take higher percentages. What this means is that you are not gambling in the usual environment with the standard rules, you are playing in a stacked environment. You are giving an extra % of your money automatically whether you like it or not. But even if you look at this as an entrance fee, it impacts the actual gambling algorithm. It adds to the house benefit, and therefore means the house has adjusted the rules in its favour.</p>
<h3>Conclusions</h3>
<p>There is nothing like printing your own money, and online gambling is a money printing press…it takes your money whether you want to give it or not. The moment you start to gamble, you will lose. If you gamble online you are not a gambler, you are a mug!</p>

<h3>ABSTRACT</h3>
<p>As the fifth generation (5G) network comes to the fore, the realization of 5G-enabled service has attracted much attention from both healthcare academics and practitioners. In particular, the 5G enabled ambulance service seamlessly connects the patient and ambulance crew at the accident scene, or in transit, with the awaiting emergency department team at the destination hospital, thereby, improving the rescue rate of patients. However, the application of the 5G network in the ambulance service currently lacks a reliable solution and simulation test of performance in the existing literature. To achieve this end, the primary aim of this study is to propose a solution of 5G-enabled smart ambulance service and then test the Quality of Service (QoS) of the proposed solution in experimental settings. We consider the emergency scenarios to investigate the task completion and accuracy of 5G-enabled smart ambulances, and to verify the superiority of our proposed solution. Our study explores the value of 5G-enabled smart ambulances and offers practical insights for the 5G network construction, business development and network optimization of smart ambulance service.</p>
<h3>INTRODUCTION</h3>
<p>As the demand for ambulance services grows, many hospitals are struggling to meet response time targets. In the UK, approximately 500,000 ambulance hours were lost due to both hospital transfer and post-transfer preparation of ambulances in 2016, according to the NHS ambulance service’s report [1]. Surprisingly, only 58% of hospital transfers meet the expectation of transferring a patient from an ambulance to an emergency department. In China, cities like Shanghai are suffering from the shortage of ambulance crews, indicating that the required ratio of ambulances per head of population far exceeds the national standard of one ambulance per 50,000 residents [2]. Such delays and shortages not only cause patients emotional distress, but also, put patients in life-threatening situations.<br />
In order to tackle turnaround delays in ambulance services, a great deal of research has prioritized the deployment of ambulance crews and the transportation of ambulances [3]. However, optimizing transfer time and the process of ambulance services through using a traditional operation approach is not sufficient. Prior works have applied wireless communication technology to the ambulance service [4] [5]. For instance, Rehman et al. [5] proposed a system model of ambulance scenario operation where a femtocellular base station and transceiver are deployed in the ambulance to transmit medical ultrasound video streaming to the hospital’s emergency department. The most recent study, conducted by Mukhopadhyay et al. [6], develops a wireless communication system based on medical transit services in which real-time, patient vital data can be transferred to a doctor in the destination hospital though a smartphone application. These systems, developed by the above-mentioned, have been tested, or simulated, under various network conditions such as 2G (2nd Generation), 3G (3rd Generation), 4G (4th Generation), and Fiber to the Home (FTTH).<br />
Nevertheless, the ambulance service, with traditional wireless communication technologies, needs to overcome several technological challenges. First, wireless communication capability may be limited due to the high mobility of the ambulance. Some advanced wireless communication systems, such as FTTH, are only being deployed in certain urban areas of the country, mostly for commercial purposes. 4G emergency service in the UK, for example, faces significant delays due to inefficiency in Terrestrial Trunked Radio network technology and the inability to integrate delivery partners and other contractors, according to the National Audit Office’s (NAO) report [7].<br />
Second, by using the current wireless communication technologies, it is difficult to provide reliable and high-quality communication capability for ambulance services. Clearly, real-time video streaming systems, deployed in ambulances, require high-speed data and high-resolution images/videos transmission. In some cases, limited and instable wireless communication may prevent awaiting emergency department professionals from remotely monitoring those patients with specific conditions such as skin pallor and patient demeanor. This limits the decision-making of paramedics and may cause potential patient risks.<br />
Third, 4G networks currently encounter many challenges such as the high cost of energy consumption, high demand of ubiquitous coverage, and the varied quality of service and quality of experience requirements [8]. The ambulance service with 4G wireless communication technologies cannot deal with the rapid explosion of wearable medical devices. This requires additional, technical investment with potentially higher, networking flexibility and transmission performance to make it fit for purpose.<br />
As the current wireless communication technologies are not sufficient to overcome these limitations and challenges, more advanced solutions should be embedded into the ambulance service. As the fifth generation (5G) network comes to the fore, the realization of a 5G-enabled service will have the potential to bring tremendous benefits to individuals, organizations and society as a whole [9]. In particular, the 5G network enables ambulances to connect a patient, who may be wearing emergency medical equipment and wearable devices, to the awaiting emergency department. Patient data starts to be collected at the incident scene and is continuously sent back to the destination emergency department while a patient is in transit. This allows the emergency department team to provide emergency treatment in a remote and immediate manner and offers ambulance paramedics more intelligent decision-making support in order to stabilize a patient. However, there is currently a lack of research focusing on developing a 5G network-enabled medical emergency service. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to propose a 5G-enabled smart ambulance service and to test its performance in experimental settings.<br />
In achieving this aim, the main contributions of this study are three-fold:<br />
• A system architecture for the 5G-enabled smart ambulance service is proposed.<br />
• As the application of 5G in ambulance services lacks a reliable simulation, we test the Quality of Service (QoS) of 5G- enabled smart ambulances in experimental settings.<br />
• We consider the emergency scenarios (i.e. patients in transit at the speed of 30 km/hour and sending a 4.5 gigabytes of medical image data from an ambulance to a destination hospital) to examine the task completion and accuracy of the 5G-enabled smart ambulance, and to verify the superiority of our proposed solution.<br />
The article is organized as follows. We introduce the 5G network technology and its applications to health care. The architecture of the 5G-enabled smart ambulance is then proposed. We verify the performance of the proposed 5G- enabled smart ambulance by stimulation tests. Lastly, conclusions are drawn in the final section.</p>
<h3>THE 5G NETWORK AND ITS APPLICATION TO HEALTH CARE</h3>
<p>The evolution of wireless networks can be traced back to the 1970s when voice communication was considered the main traffic of exchange. Since then, network communication has played a critical role in society and has experienced a dramatic evolution, as presented in Table 1. Compared to previous generations of network technology, 5G features increased capacity, reliability, coverage, connection density and energy efficiency whilst reducing latency [10]. Low latency communication, ubiquitous connectivity, and high-speed gigabit connection represent the most important features for supporting real-time, content delivery and user interaction [11]<br />
[12] [13]. These features enable smart devices to share data without human assistance and seamlessly interact with each other.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/table1-1.jpg" alt="" width="716" height="403" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-98621" srcset="https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/table1-1.jpg 716w, https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/table1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/table1-1-696x392.jpg 696w" sizes="(max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px" /></p>
<p>With the rapid adoption of 5G network in the health sector, some major deficiencies in healthcare systems can be revamped and addressed. First, communication and access to healthcare resources in the current system are problematic due to the limited bandwidth of 4G [14]. As an example, patients have to physically visit the hospital for medical consultations, and healthcare facilities, or services, are not equally accessible. This causes inconvenience. The latest wireless technology (i.e. 5G core network) supports the applications of telemedicine such as tele-surgery, tele-diagnosis, and tele-rehabilitation, which enable patients to remotely access medical resources. Such wireless connectivity can advance telemedicine and the provision of expert-based care.<br />
Second, most medical data generated from equipment and stored in medical information systems and video communication systems is highly heterogeneous. 5G enables the storage of data in the distributed database system through the adoption of edge computing, cloud computing, distributed storage and other technologies, and then filters, cleans, converses and integrates the data in order to build a pre-hospital, emergency data center. Specifically, to solve the problem of unstructured data in pre-hospital, emergency systems, databases and systems being adopted include NOSQL database for data storage, Apache Hadoop platform for heterogeneous data management, MapReduce for operating tasks of data analysis, and secured access for the centralized stored data, visual display and emergency decision support [15]. These technologies contribute to standardized rules of data acquisition mode, transmission protocol and storage so that the data can be converted and packaged for sharing among the heterogeneous systems.<br />
Furthermore, the current healthcare system is not patient- centric nor customized to personal requirements. Tailoring treatments on the basis of individual medical profiles and history is difficult and costly [14]. The 5G network allows wearable devices to be attached to the core network and transit data through sensors in a real-time manner which sustains crucial medical information and has the potential to achieve personalized treatments. In particular, a 5G medical, customized network utilizes technologies, such as MEC and network slicing, and thus, is compatible with VPN, Internet, cellular network and satellite. In its deployment, exclusive access could be designed for hospital and inter-hospital business, as the fixed location of medical services, long-term, frequent existence, large business flow, high security and stability requirements require a dedicated bandwidth- guaranteed line that is not occupied by other business.<br />
Additionally, 5G enables better data analysis which can be used to assist decision-making for smart ambulances. With real- time interaction and the sharing of heterogeneous information, such as geographical location, a patient’s medical records, medical examinations and medical images in pre-hospital emergency service, 5G assists specialists at the hospital in obtaining information regarding pre-hospital, first aid location, real-time video and medical condition and transmission, which therefore enables better decision-making before the patient enters hospital.</p>
<h3>PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE</h3>
<p>The architectural components of 5G-enabled smart ambulances proposed in this paper include: (1) 5G communication network, (2) remote video communication and<br />
(3) telemedicine medical data exchange. 5G communication network supports the access of vehicle-mounted, positioning terminals, video communication equipment and multi-monitor acquisition equipment in ambulances, while the remote video communication allows the real-time picture transmission of audio and video information at the accident scene, ambulance, command center and hospital. Telemedicine medical data exchange is interconnected with hospital information systems (HIS), laboratory information systems (LIS), geographic information systems (GIS), picture archiving and communications systems (PACS), and document management systems (DMS), which enable doctors in hospital emergency centers to browse patients’ historical and medical records, register first aid information and issue examination sheets. This would simplify the medical treatment process and improve the efficiency of patient treatment. The components of 5G-enabled smart ambulances is demonstrated in Fig. 1.</p>

<h3>5G COMMUNICATION NETWORK LAYER</h3>
<p>Ambulance planning encompasses decisions to be made on strategic, tactical, and operational levels [3]. In the current ambulance service, significant challenges remain at each level. At the strategic level, selecting the locations of ambulance- based stations is generally determined for a considerable time. At the tactical level, the deployment of ambulances and crews at base stations is not efficient. At the operational level, real- time dispatching of ambulances to incidents lacks reliable and high-quality wireless communication.<br />
Our proposed 5G communication network attempts to fuel the next leap in shortening response and transfer times. Based on the wide range of scenarios that may occur at the accident scene, mobile first aid, command center and medicinal emergency treatment, hardware equipment [such as mobile edge computing (MEC), base band units (BBU), customer- provided equipment (CPE) and user plane function (UPF) gateway] are deployed by using 5G fusion network characteristics, and the compatible fusion test, medical private network of wired, wireless and cellular networks that is built on the standalone (SA) architecture. Bearing in mind the diversified business needs of vehicle positioning, audio and video interaction, medical data information sharing, medical resource scheduling and remote treatment guidance in the process of the ambulance service, this provides a reliable network, supporting the deep integration of data, resources and services and the development of multi-party, collaborative work.<br />
The 5G network meets the demands of bandwidth, delay and other network performance for the application of pre-hospital emergency systems. The main advantages are reflected in many aspects. First, accurate and timely access to geographical location and real-time positioning of vehicles can automatically provide accurate, real-time, spatial location, according to the scheduling information of the command center, to avoid traffic congestion. This would greatly shorten the scheduling time. Second, virtual reality (VR) glasses are used at the scene of the accident. The doctors in the destination hospital are allowed to grasp the real-time status of patients and the accident scene through a panoramic perspective. Third, real-time, vital signs data, such as patient blood pressure, blood sugar, blood gas and other patient medical records and data information, are collected through on-board, medical equipment and then delivered to the doctor at the destination hospital. This provides real-time guidance and treatment for the patient.</p>
<h3>The REMOTE VIDEO COMMUNICATION LAYER</h3>
<p>Through the application of multimedia processing technology and audio and video interactive technology, hospital doctors can use VR glasses, or video terminals, in real-time, to grasp the condition of patients in transit. Emergency and critical patients can immediately receive expert rescue guidance, improving the quality and efficiency of ambulance doctors and minimizing the rescue time. This truly achieves a seamless connection before arriving, and in the hospital, so that emergency patients receive better treatment, further improving the success rate for emergency and critical patients and building a more convenient platform. The main advantages of using remote video communication are: (1) through the VR glasses, or the video terminal in the ambulance, real-time tracking of patients and their treatment can take place; (2) the remote video communication can initiate remote consultation while a patient is in transit. It is helpful for hospitals to make timely rescue preparations and guide the treatment.</p>
<h3>TELEMEDICINE MEDICAL AND DATA EXCHANGE LAYER</h3>
<p>Telemedicine medical data exchange utilizes the identity index and keyword identification approaches to solve inefficient systems and integration issues. This layer allows the user to capture, store, and process the patient data in HIS, LIS, PACS, hospital resource information database, and geographical resource information database. This would also support the online input of past diagnosis and treatment information, patients’ vital signs data, rescue on-site video information and rescue information and achieve real-time data exchange and sharing among different healthcare systems.<br />
In addition, the telemedicine medical data exchange supports the functions of real-time acquisition of patients’ vital signs data, online transmission of medical images and video on-site pictures, online storage of patients’ medical records information. It provides medical data support for the multi-linkage of doctors, hospitals and command centers in the emergency scene (including ambulances).<br />
The telemedicine medical data exchange brings many benefits to the 5G-enabled smart ambulance. First, doctors at the destination hospital use the expert knowledge base and other intelligent systems to make a preliminary diagnosis and carry out pre-hospital monitoring and treatment of patients. Second, the real-time understanding of the patient’s condition and their arrival time could solve the problem of the hospital emergency department being unable to assess the treatment and patient’s condition in real-time. Third, through the image and video function cloud, first aid can be automatically recorded online to generate electronic files. Patients’ personal information and medical record information can be automatically shared among institutions in real-time. Fourth, this system allows access to the hospital database and patient medical history. This enables the development of pre-hospital treatment programs. Finally, this system could obtain information from the first aid database and first aid decision model. This allows the command center to dispatch the appropriate medical staff and vehicles, optimize the rescue route, and co-ordinate pre-hospital, first aid tasks.</p>
<h3>TEST AND SIMULATION</h3>
<p>Research on the 5G network mainly focuses on developing 5G enabled collaborative models and exploring their service functions and applications. The 5G network quality and data transmission quality for 5G service have not yet been tested and compared to the performance of the 4G network. As the proposed 5G enabled smart ambulance solution needs to meet the requirements of medical data collection, medical images transmission and medical information sharing in real-time, we aim to test the actual performance of the 5G network from the QoS perspective. Specifically, we tested the network carrying capacity of medical data, cross-area network jitter, and network bandwidth in a real-time transmission setting by comparing the conditions of 4G with 5G in two scenarios. The first scenario was set up to test the network carrying capacity and network jitter when the remote video consultation, along with medical data, was uploaded and downloaded under the conditions of the ambulance travelling at the speed of 30 km/hour. In the second scenario, the uploading process of large volume, medical data was tested by 4.5 gigabytes of medical image being sent from the ambulance to the awaiting emergency department team at the destination hospital.<br />
As part of this study, we built a test platform for a 5G-enabled smart ambulance in the National Engineering Laboratory of Internet Medical System and Application of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. We then performed the simulation test of QoS for the 5G enabled smart ambulance. The test platform consisted of an intelligent mobile terminal module, a 5G network transmission module, an edge cloud computing node and a cloud computing node, as shown in Fig.2a.<br />
The intelligent mobile terminal module is composed of a medical data acquisition device, a doctor workstation and a video communication terminal, wherein the vital signs information from patients can be collected in real-time. The medical staff can react to rapid rescue response at any time and in any place, participate in the whole process of pre-hospital first aid and in-hospital special treatment, and support real-time, medical data acquisition and remote consultation video communication.<br />
The 5G network transmission module includes a 5G CPE signal transceiver and a 5G UPF gateway service flow forwarding device, which realizes the separation of the user plane and the control plane. The identification of the corresponding ambulance service and first aid assistant decision model are deployed on the edge computer point and the cloud computing node, which improves the service quality and medical treatment level of remote first aid. The video communication equipment synchronizes the panoramic information in the ambulance and delivers it to the hospital in real-time. The collected information automatically distributes the mobile, medical, private network according to the service type 5G UPF gateway, and uploads to the appropriate computing platform (i.e. local cloud or remote cloud) in real- time.<br />
The proposed 5G-enabled smart ambulance is deployed on the edge cloud computing node and the cloud computing node. This allows for the collection of the transmission link state from the intelligent terminal to the edge computing node and from the edge computing node to the cloud computing node. At the same time, the system can also collect vehicle location, patient medical record information, video call information, and share medical information and available computing resources between the ambulance and the destination hospital. After the intelligent terminal collects the vital signs signals and patient video information, the intelligent terminal is divided by the 5G network transmission module and transmitted to different computing nodes, and the processing results are fed back to the ambulance and the destination hospital. This supports the data collection, transmission, processing and display of the emergency medical service.<br />
Fig. 2b demonstrates the 5G standalone medical network. The network test equipment is connected to the vehicle- mounted 5G CPE through the CTA6 gigabit network cable to collect the network performance data when the smart ambulance service operates. The network bandwidth, delay, jitter and other specific conditions of the service network can be intuitively seen through the network test software. The dashboard of traffic surveillance, using 5G network monitoring software, is shown in Fig. 2c.</p>

<h3>RESULT ANALYSIS</h3>
<p>The results of comparison analysis are presented in Fig. 3. The measured peak value of 5G unloaded downlink rate is 18 times that of the 4G network, while the measured peak value of 5G unloaded uplink rate is 9 times that of the 4G network (see Fig. 3a). In the first scenario, the average downlink speed of 1080 p/30Hz high-definition video in the 5G network environment is 4.6 Mbps. Comparatively, the average downlink speed in the 4G network is 3.5 Mbps with unstable network and packet loss which occurred during video calls (see Fig. 3b).<br />
In the second scenario, the 5G network upload rate is significantly higher than 4G. The upload time is shortened by 33%, compared to 4G (see Fig. 3c). The average delay of 5G is<br />
12.88 Mbps, while the average delay of 4G is 76.85 Mbps, which is 6 times that of 5G (see Fig. 3d). Overall, with sufficient 5G support, our smart ambulance solution provides more efficient and stable medical data delivery.</p>

<h3>CONCLUSION</h3>
<p>This article proposes an architecture for a smart ambulance solution, enabled by the 5G network, with the aim of achieving response time targets of medical emergency services. The 5G enabled smart ambulance consists of three key components: 5G communication network, remote video and telemedicine medical data exchange. Given the higher capacity of 5G network, these three layers are interconnected to optimize transfer time and process of ambulance services. Patient data can be processed effectively to make timely rescue preparations and guide the treatment while patients are at the accident scene or in transit. We tested the proposed solution in the experimental settings to ensure the performance and quality of the ambulance service. This is one of the first studies to examine the performance of the 5G-enabled smart ambulance. To be specific, our solution fully considers the emergency scenarios to investigate the network carrying capacity, cross-area network jitter, and network bandwidth of the ambulance service. Future work should focus on improving the quality of service of the proposed architecture and solution.</p>

<p>Ever since BTC hit the world news, blockchain and its derivatives have fuelled fevered minds with get rich quick dreams. These dreams have inspired developers from around the world to build up a demand to supply easy accessible trading sites to buy and sell BTC and all the other coins and tokens that evolved thereafter.</p>
<p>An entirely new ecosystem has evolved, a world of centralised and decentralised exchanges that all offer similar models of interaction all designed to bring traders into their site to make quick money.</p>
<p>Out of this ecosystem evolved two phenomena: Listings and Rankings</p>
<p>Listings are when a token creator wants to introduce the created token onto an exchange for trade.<br />
Rankings are the method different sites use to meter exchange and currency activities.<br />
IEO/ICO/ISO are methods of raising fiat or BTC/ETH capital for new tokens.</p>
<p>Let’s take a look at rankings first; there are a number of KPI’s to measure for ranking and these include ranking exchanges and ranking currencies.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/19563-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="450" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-87303" srcset="https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/19563-300x197.jpg 300w, https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/19563-1024x674.jpg 1024w, https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/19563-768x505.jpg 768w, https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/19563-696x458.jpg 696w, https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/19563-1068x703.jpg 1068w, https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/19563-638x420.jpg 638w, https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/19563-741x486.jpg 741w, https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/19563.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><br />
<strong>Exchanges</strong><br />
Exchanges are ranked by the volume of trade they report, their asset liquidity, the number of asset pairs they trade in and their market coverage (what CMC calls web traffic factor) All these metrics are inaccurate as the most exchanges use market making bots (MMbots) to bolster their performance. Another aspect of trade manipulation are currency owners that trade with more than one wallet and manipulate the market buy buying and selling to themselves. Another aspect is that some sites are owned buy exchanges, such as CoinmarketCap which is owned by Binance, hence Binance is always no.1 in the ranking listing. Other ranking sites such as CoinGecko and CoinCodex have different methodologies to rank exchanges and currencies, hence the disparity between each ranking site. Add to this the fact that not all exchanges pay the exorbitant fees the ranking sites request, you get a lot of exchanges that are not ranked but are active.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line</strong><br />
Ranking sites charge exchanges for listing, so it is not an impartial review. For instance, Forbes, Time, Bloomberg, do not charge companies for rankings, the Forbes 500, 100 etc. is an impartial ranking of industry, whereas, ranking sites in the cryptocurrency world are money centric – pay and get seen, don’t pay and disappear.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusions</strong><br />
The world of cryptocurrency started out as a new form of payment for the worlds population as a replacement to centralised currencies controlled by nations. What we are seeing is a new centralised currency controlled by rich people – not nations, not governments, not democratically elected officials, but by private entrepreneurs that just want to get rich and control the market.</p>

<strong>Listing</strong><br />
Just like rankings but less odious, listings are the method in which an exchange will provide access to more asset trading pairs. Exchanges should be like printers, you pay a very small fee for the printer, but pay a higher fee for the ink…this translates into: a listing should be made easy and the trading fees should be higher. However, in reality, the currency creators have to pay anywhere between 0.5BTC to 20BTC to just be listed. (This translates into $4,500 to $200,000). Now why is this an issue? its an issue because every payment should have an ROI and an ROI must be quantifiable. Exchanges cannot offer an ROI on any amount, since their true nature is a secret. Exchanges will never tell you the truth of their community or trading volume. They will even claim that they have high liquidity (Which means they have a lot of stored assets) but this is BS since all assets are only as valuable as their trade value, and in most cases, these assets do not belong to the exchange, these are stored assets of currency owners and traders that have “exchange wallets”, and yes, this does show liquidity, but its doesn’t belong to the exchange. On the flip side, the higher the liquidity the more richer the trade opportunity, so this is really the only KPI that can be metered successfully.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line</strong><br />
Listing should be a rigorous process, and it is for most exchanges where the project offered must provide 5 pages of information. Where does the listing process go sour, when the exchange asks for thousands of dollars. If you are willing to pay $10K or $100K you need to make sure you will make a profit on that payment. In terms of listings, the only profit you get from a listing is access to a market that will trade in your token, but you will not see any of that income. All you will receive is trades, over which you have no control.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusions</strong><br />
Paying exchanges large amounts of money without getting back definite proof of success is, just like anything else in the world of cryptocurrency; a gamble. Exchange liquidity is proof that currencies are being held in the exchange and there is trade, however, the fees for listing should be low and the trading fees should be made more lucrative for the exchange, essentially trading the one time listing fee against multiple trade fees of the token.</p>

<strong>IEO/ICO/ISO</strong><br />
It doesn’t matter what you call it, the bottom line is that it sells tokens for BTC/ETH or fiat. The main difference between them are as follows:<br />
An IEO is when an exchange makes the offering, and uses its community reach to market the potential of the token.<br />
An ISO is the same as an IEO, in that it aims at marketing via social media specifically, and offers social variants for procuring the tokens.<br />
An ICO can be done by anyone with a token, it does not necessarily have to be done via an Exchange, so if it is done by an exchange uts not an ICO its an IEO or an ISO.</p>
<p>Now let’s review the fees of an IEO, most, in fact all exchanges charge a very large flat fee for an IEO. Their claim is that they work hard to market the token. Well bully for you…if you work so hard, then have a success rate fee and take 25%, 35% even 50% as a success fee over a certain minimum amount.</p>
<p>You see, its like this, an exchange takes no risks when you pay them up front, it wins before the token is listed, so whether the IEO is successful or not…who cares. Whereas, if the payment were only in success fees from a basic amount, then the onus is on the exchange to make success.</p>
<p>Now to be fair to exchanges, not every project is attractive, so in this instance, it is up to the exchange to mitigate risk. They should set a very low minimum success amount for the riskier projects and raise the success ratio so that they cover their bases.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line</strong><br />
No one should have to pay for an IEO, it should be a success rate based activity, where the exchange and the token owner work together to make sure they both earn as much as possible.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusions</strong><br />
Most of the exchanges are not interested in the success or failure of their hosted tokens. The top 10 currencies provide enough leverage for most, and all the collateral tokens are just something to make their board different from the next.</p>

<strong>Evolution/Projection</strong><br />
I doubt if anyone can project where cryptocurrencies will evolve to, however, it is here, and some countries are adopting it fully, others are accepting it and a few are dead against it. The reality is that eventually they will be regulated, nothing can stop this from happening for one simple reason. At the moment it is regulated by a few ranking sites that control the market, followed by shady owned exchanges that also control large markets but not for public trading, but rather for washing fiat via their systems. NGO’s and Governments are starting to work together on a national and international level to regulate via tax purposes the “not-decentralised because it is controlled by a few billionaires” crypto currency market.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, the so called token as a replacement for company stock/shares will end, and the very fact that tokens are given a fiat value means they can be taxed. This will all lead to regulated system, and thereof control by the national and international regulators.</p>

<p><strong><img src="https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/fb_image-45.jpeg" alt="" width="650" /></strong></p>
<p>MuleSoft’s 2021 Connectivity Benchmark Report found that IT teams are spending over a third of their time on integration projects, and custom integrations are costing large enterprises on average $3.5 million* each in annual labour. As digital initiatives accelerate, integration has emerged as a critical factor in determining the success and speed of digital transformation across industries. </p>
<p>“Organisations across industries have experienced a rapid shift toward interacting with customers and employees through digital channels,” said Brent Hayward, CEO, MuleSoft. “Although most organisations are prioritizing digital initiatives, such as launching an e-commerce platform or increasing worker productivity, the research shows that data silos continue to hinder their capabilities to deliver on these key initiatives. Companies that empower their IT and business teams to easily integrate apps and data will be able to unlock the full capacity within their organisation to drive innovation at scale and gain competitive edge.” </p>
<p>Based on a global survey of 800 CIOs and IT decision makers, the 2021 Connectivity Benchmark Report also highlights new challenges and opportunities for businesses as they navigate a digital-first world:</p>
<h2>Increased demands pressuring businesses to deliver digital faster</h2>
<p>The last 12 months have seen a profound shift in the way people work and how organisations operate. Employees and customers alike want seamless digital experiences and expect organizations to deliver on these experiences, faster.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>New initiatives to enable success from anywhere:</strong> This past year, organisations relied on IT to support a rapid shift to remote working and the need for increased productivity and efficiency. Migrating apps to the cloud (51%), enabling remote working (48%) and automating business processes (47%) were cited as the key initiatives that organizations are focusing on for 2021. They were closely followed by using IT to create a safe working environment, modernizing legacy systems, and integrating SaaS apps (each 45%).</li>
<li><strong>When demand surpasses supply:</strong> Demands on IT have increased massively. Organizations asked IT to deliver on average 30% more projects this year, a number that is constantly growing year-over-year (315 projects in 2021 compared to 242 projects in 2020). Only 37% of respondents say they were able to deliver all IT projects last year (compared to 41% the previous year).</li>
<li><strong>Go digital or get left behind:</strong> More than three-quarters (77%) of organizations say a failure to complete digital transformation initiatives will impact revenues over the next year.</li>
<li><strong>The cost of ‘keeping the lights on’:</strong> IT is spending over two-thirds of their time (68%) on running the business, leaving little time for innovation and development of new projects. </li>
</ul>
<h2>Integration challenges hold businesses back </h2>
<p>Data silos remain a challenge for 90% of organisations (unchanged since last year’s report). And almost 9 in 10 respondents point to integration challenges as a blocker to delivering on digital transformation. If this trend continues, it risks stalling key business initiatives for many organizations. Integration will continue to be a major area of focus as organisations look to connect and derive more value from their new and existing apps and data.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>So many applications, so little integration:</strong> On average, organizations use 843 individual applications. However, only 29% of these applications are integrated (a slight increase from 28% in the previous year), highlighting huge potential for organisations to drive change and deliver more connected experiences.</li>
<li><strong>Connected customer experiences remain a challenge to achieve:</strong> Only 18% of organizations integrate end-user experiences across all channels, with almost half (48%) stating they have found it difficult to do so. However, for those organizations that have successfully integrated end-user experiences, increased customer engagement (53%), business transformation (53%) and innovation (50%) have been the major benefits. </li>
<li><strong>Data-related roles have the biggest integration needs:</strong> Outside of IT, data science (47%), business analyst (42%) and finance (42%) are the roles with the biggest integration needs. This further highlights how business users and initiatives with a data focus are prime candidates for integration support.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Empowering enterprise-wide innovation</h2>
<p>Organisations recognise the strategic importance of integration to help achieve revenue goals and deliver connected experiences faster. To lessen the integration burden on IT and drive innovation and productivity, organisations are looking to drive reuse of existing integrations and empower the wider business to connect apps and data.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Integration and API strategy is being led from the top:</strong> More than two-thirds (69%) of organisations say they have a top-down approach to integration and API strategy. This is an increase from 63% last year, highlighting the growing importance of integration to achieving business goals. </li>
<li><strong>API reuse is a massive area of opportunity:</strong> While most organisations (96%, up from 80% last year) are using APIs to build integrations and deliver new projects, best practices around API reuse remain an area of improvement. The reuse of code, APIs, and best practice templates has plateaued over the last two years. Organisations have on average 42% of such internal assets and components available for reuse. This is a massive area of opportunity as organizations leveraging APIs experience increased productivity (59%), self-service (48%) and increased innovation (46%).</li>
<li><strong>Enabling all business users:</strong> Four in five organisations recognise the need to make data and integration accessible to business users to increase productivity, deliver connected experiences and drive innovation. Over a third (36%) of organizations say they have a mature approach to enabling non-IT users to easily integrate apps and data sources through APIs. Another 44% say they are in the process of developing plans, further highlighting that organisations are looking to empower business users with integration.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Methodology</h2>
<p>For the sixth-annual Connectivity Benchmark Report, MuleSoft, in partnership with Vanson Bourne, surveyed 800 IT leaders from global enterprises. The goal was to uncover how much value businesses actually gain from digital transformation, and to understand IT leaders’ most successful strategies for achieving digital transformation goals.</p>
<p>The online survey was conducted between December 2020 and January 2021 across the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan. Only suitable candidates participated in the survey and were verified by using a rigorous, multi-level screening process. All respondents work at an enterprise organization in the public or private sector with at least 1,000 employees and hold a managerial position or above in an IT department.</p>
<p><em>*Survey respondents stated on average they spent $9,870,901 on IT staff (both on employee salaries and external contractors) over the last 12 months.<br /></em><em>Cumulatively survey respondents stated on average their IT teams were spending 35.55% of their time designing, building, and testing custom integrations.<br /></em><em>$9,870,901 x 35.55% = $3,509,105.31</em></p>

<p>The last time this many UK manufacturers and services firms were in growth mode was September 2020, two months before the start of the second national lockdown in November. </p>
<p><img src="https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/fb_image-44.jpeg" alt="" width="650" /></p>
<h2>Services sector’s improved performance bolsters economic recovery </h2>
<p>The output of 11 of the 14 UK sectors monitored by the Recovery Tracker increased in March, up from six in February. Manufacturers of technology equipment (69.7), metals and mining products (64.3) and transport operators (62.8) recorded the strongest growth. A reading above 50 signals output is rising, while a reading below 50 indicates output is contracting. </p>
<p>Technology equipment manufacturing – which includes producers of specialist parts in smart devices, motor vehicles, computers and industrial machinery – recorded the strongest output growth for the second month in a row as international demand for components increased at the fastest pace for more than seven years.</p>
<p>Global demand for British technology helped UK manufacturing firms outperform services businesses for a thirteenth consecutive month. However, the gap between them narrowed as more UK services sectors recorded growth in March. </p>
<p>Transport was the best-performing services sector in March, with output rising at its fastest rate since January 2017 after contracting sharply in January (31.5) and February (43.5) this year. Firms, including airlines and rail and bus operators, said the rebound was driven by a surge in bookings for domestic travel ahead of restrictions easing, as well as increased demand for overseas travel as consumers anticipate the UK’s vaccine rollout will make international holidays possible during 2021. </p>
<p>The output of the UK software (56.6) and industrial services (60.5) sectors rose for the second consecutive month, with providers citing a rise in corporate spending on solutions that support both continued remote working and the reopening of offices in markets where restrictions are eased. </p>
<h2>UK moves ahead of the global benchmark of recovery, as job creation rises </h2>
<p>The rise in sectors registering output growth pushed the pace of the UK’s economic recovery ahead of the global benchmark for the first time in six months during March. 10 of the 14 sectors monitored by the tracker were ahead of their global peers, up from just two in February. </p>
<p>12 of the 14 sectors monitored by the Tracker also reported an increase in job creation during March as lockdown restrictions eased – the highest number since July 2018. </p>
<p>Tourism and recreation and food and drink were the only sectors to report a fall in employment during March, with many firms yet to boost staff numbers ahead of the full reopening of UK hospitality in May. </p>
<h2>UK manufacturers lose business to Europe </h2>
<p>Six of the seven manufacturing sectors monitored by the Tracker still recorded output growth, with the output of three sectors returning to growth after contracting in February – metals and mining (64.3 in March vs 45.5 in February), chemicals (58.5 in March vs 45.4 in February) and household products (62.1 in March vs 46.8 in February). </p>
<p>Accounting for their rebound in performance, producers of chemicals and metals and mining products cited strong demand for manufacturing inputs, while producers of household products benefitted from resilient UK consumer spending and demand due to the reopening of non-essential retailers in England. </p>
<p>Automotive (46.4) was the only UK manufacturing category to register a contraction in output during March, with firms experiencing parts shortages and some overseas customers choosing to buy from EU suppliers. The export orders index for the UK automotive sector was 50.9 during March, which compared with the European benchmark of 66.5. </p>
<p>While overall UK manufacturing exports rose month-on-month, only technology equipment manufacturers outperformed their European peers on new export orders during March. At the other end of the scale, food and drink producers saw a decline in new business from abroad for the third month running in March (47.4) and the downturn contrasted with a strong recovery elsewhere in Europe (56.0). </p>
<p>Jeavon Lolay, Head of Economics and Market Insight, Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking, said: “The UK’s recovery is clearly accelerating, as the economy continues to open up after a tough lockdown and optimism builds.</p>
<p>“It is particularly promising that so many UK sectors reported output growth in March, ahead of the re-opening of non-essential shops and client-facing services in England last week. It suggests that GDP growth picked up further in March and bodes well for the coming quarter as restrictions are hopefully further eased. </p>
<p>“The recovery in hiring across the majority of UK sectors represents a key signal of returning business confidence, which I would expect to continue to strengthen and broaden as restrictions are lifted and the pace of growth really takes off.”</p>
<p>Scott Barton, Managing Director, Corporate and Institutional Coverage, Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking, added: “Business activity is clearly more upbeat than expected and offers confidence for a sharp upturn ahead. The situation will be a considerable relief, especially for the hardest hit sectors of the economy which hopefully stand to play a leading role in the recovery. The fact that the majority of sectors reported increased hiring is another very promising sign for the outlook.”</p>

<p><strong>Digital Transformation can mean many things for many different businesses. But there will be common threads for companies running across diverse sectors.</strong></p>
<p><strong>You might be surprised by some of the common pain points, solutions and opportunities which unite B2B business leaders challenged with bringing their companies headlong into the Post Covid world.</strong></p>
<p><strong>We spoke to three such leaders to gain understanding from their experiences. Jürgen Winterholler who leads the IT and Digital Solutions at Rolls Royce Power Systems, Leo Pickford charged with Transformation at Yusen Logistics and Alex Wodzicki, Group Digital Marketing Director at warehousing giant Segro.</strong></p>
<p><strong><img src="https://www.fuzzy.one/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/fb_image-43.jpeg" alt="" width="650" height="410" /></strong></p>
<h2>The Business Leaders</h2>
<p><strong>Leo Pickford</strong><br />
<strong>HEAD OF BUSINESS CHANGE, YUSEN LOGISTICS.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jürgen Winterholler</strong><br />
<strong>VICE PRESIDENT. CHIEF IT DIGITAL OFFICER. ROLLS ROYCE POWER SYSTEMS AG.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Alex Wodzicki</strong><br />
<strong>GROUP DIGITAL MARKETING MANAGER, SEGRO PLC</strong></p>
<h2>Here are some the key learnings and considerations to come out of those experiences:</h2>
<p><strong> 1.Change Mindsets</strong></p>
<p>For those tasked with digital transformation in a business, their role can often be one of evangelism. Infrastructure problems are not unusual, and it’s clear that much work is done to try and help define what transformation means across the wider business. With multiple stakeholders and different priorities, addressing the elephant in the room is often the first challenge. Alex Wodzicki at Segro says it like it is:</p>
<p><em>“There are different people (in the business) who have different ideas of what digital transformation actually means.”</em></p>
<p>In order to overcome some of these issues it seems that the first task is actually to change mindsets and to ensure that digital transformation is recognised as being integral to business change. So at RRPS Juergen Winterholler’s first act on his appointment to his role as head of IT and digital was to start a programme he called “Impact to be proud of” – developing solutions with people and principles together.</p>
<p><em>“I built up a structure where I have one team. They are called customer solutions and this is my front end to the customer. They are talking to the customer asking “What is your pain? What is your need? What is your daily problem? What would you like to solve?” They’re listening to the customer and translating what we have to do. We have one voice to the customer and one face to the customer. They are experts in the business, and this is a total change of the setting of the thinking of the organisation.</em></p>
<p><em>And of course internal customers will be happy about this new setting. They feel more heard and understood.”</em></p>
<p>And at Yusen, Leo Pickford has a similar understanding about the need for a mindset shift – which doesn’t necessarily make his job easier but certainly ensures speed is a prerequisite:</p>
<p><em>“It’s a different mindset. It is a mindset that says doing things digitally should be easy. Just get it done. It’s got to start with a strategic look at the way the market’s going, but ultimately you have to get on with it, try things out and pilot your ideas.”</em></p>
<p>But for Pickford as for others the mindset shift is not as readily joined by all parts of the business. For some digital solutions are understood to be a rapid enabler of business requirements. In some areas they can be seen as a threat, as testified to by Wodicki:</p>
<p><em>“Sometimes people when you explain what can be done, they say, well, that’s probably a step too far. We don’t need to go that far, but it would be nice to have a certain amount. And that’s where it’s quite interesting… there is more of an appetite to go down the digital route.”</em></p>

<p><strong> 2. Eradicate waste and you’ll be noticed</strong></p>
<p>The best way to drive change is to initiate programmes that get results and get you noticed, sanctioned by the board or resolving some of their key requirements for the business. Pickford speaks to this:</p>
<p><em>“Identify where the winners are – where are the projects that have the strong business case – and then really support and drive those.”</em></p>
<p>For Winterholler the most valuable currency in the business is TRUST. And to develop trust you have to manifest value:</p>
<p><em>“Removing waste – this is the best improvement. Then you build up trust immediately. So that’s a kind of trust builder. Take all the waste away and you are the most trusted person in the company.”</em></p>
<p>But trust is not immediate and has to be earned, as he goes on to explain:</p>
<p><em>“So I’m big on analysis. In the first few months I only analysed where we are on cost, on technology, on stability, on skills and so forth, also on partnerships. And now after one year I’m really implementing and changing. I developed a clear roadmap: a restructuring program on technology and applications. And now the board and my peers know what it’s about and they give me a lot of trust.”</em></p>

<p><strong> 3. Challenge Legacy systems</strong></p>
<p>A key challenge common to all three business leaders are the issues around building upon legacy technical systems. For Leo Pickford at Yusen the sheer number of systems overlaid on top of each other is a major challenge which in itself produces even more complexity:</p>
<p>“Over the years there have been more and more layers of solutions that we’ve bought from different places and tried to integrate together. And on top of that keeping data secure when it’s going through different cloud environments and different jurisdictions alone has its issues. However if you have a clear vision and know where you want to get to then you can manage the legacy and tackle these challenges.”</p>
<p>While for Winterholler it was important to accept one clear fact that needs to be faced up to before you can even begin to address the legacy problems:</p>
<p>“So we are not Apple. We are not Google. Nor are we a start up. But if you face this reality and you find the spots and the slots where you have the right to be then you can succeed.</p>
<p>The complex integration of new systems across a business with legacy technologies and with different stakeholders vying for the same levels of attention in itself can cause tensions and create a struggle to manage priorities.”</p>

<p><strong> 4.Justify Innovations</strong></p>
<p>Transformation will necessarily involve innovation – whether it’s with systems or with technologies. Innovation is exciting but it’s risky and therefore it’s potentially costly – two things that make boards nervous and hesitant. So how do you deal with those risks and how do you mitigate them and the associated costs?</p>
<p>The answers can be found in the evangelical mindset and the vigour with which you go about that proselytising mission. It can also be about careful prioritisation and the granularity of your operational approach. For Wodzicki clarity of purpose is everything:</p>
<p>“You need to go back to basics and you think, what is the problem we’re trying to solve? What’s the best solution, as opposed to thinking that’s cool, let’s try that…”</p>
<p>And at RRPS it’s as much about the way innovation is integrated into the business:</p>
<p>“Make baby steps and get little by little more commitment from your people. And most people like innovations but they may not be really good at implementing something – but they like to play. So at the moment we implement things in baby steps and get more commitment. We present the innovation, start a small project and show where it can have a real impact.”</p>
<p>And for Pickford innovation is also about nurturing and understanding the pace at which it should reasonably be implemented:</p>
<p>“Don’t stifle innovation and ensure that you know where the potential is. Ensure that the awareness and the desire for change are nurtured. It’s about control on one hand, to keep things heading in the right direction, while it’s about innovation and stimulation on the other.”</p>
<p>And it’s this notion of control and risk management that lies at the heart of bringing innovation into the business in those “baby steps”, while not simply enabling a go-slow into caution. A fine balancing act which Winterholler confirms at RRPS:</p>
<p>“You have to face reality… you can really hurt the company. In IT systems, for example, breaking something can really damage the business. So sometimes it’s really good to slow down, and to really deliver quality and stability. But you have to be very careful that nobody has an excuse to work in a slow-down mode as an excuse for being in “safe mode”.”</p>
<p>And this rationale seems to be central to thinking across all our featured businesses:</p>
<p>“I think there has to be questioning and interrogation, and on a regular basis because technology moves so fast.”<br />

<p><strong> 5.Pick the right Partners</strong></p>
<p>The evolution of digital solutions across businesses almost inevitably leads to strain, creating resourcing and skills issues. As a conventional ‘analogue’ business why would you have dedicated digital resources capable of delivering complex digital solutions? Necessarily you will need to partner and with that can come opportunities and challenges.</p>
<p><em>“Our internal resources are stretched in many areas of the business. People are under a lot of pressure, but you can’t just get recruiters to fill all the gaps. We have struggled to get resources in particular skill areas, which are critical to our digital transformation.”</em><br />
Leo Pickford</p>
<p>The requirement for specific skill sets and expertise brings partnering but there needs to be a clear view on how to get the best out of those partners.</p>
<p><em>“I think a partner goes with you in all areas. If you have hard times a partner should be willing to go the extra mile. A partner should show you value over time. They invest and they bring ideas and they are interested where we are, and they are not only interested to give you not just the next “offer”.”</em><br />
Jurgen Winterholler</p>
<p>“We need to be partnered with people who understand the shift in digital perception. It’s no good sticking with the same thing. The way people use the technology has evolved and we need to adapt. And what we got to in the past is we would bolt things on. Now you need to go back to basics and ask what is the problem we’re trying to solve? And that’s where partners come in.”<br />
Alex Wodzicki</p>

<p><strong> 6.Think Customer first</strong></p>
<p>The most striking theme across all our conversations – and perhaps the raison d’etre for transformation – is the customer. We know from B2C that understanding customers through data learnings and a test-and-learn mindset can bring huge benefits, reducing drop off and increasing conversion. In B2B the need for deeper understandings is no less important, whether the customer is external or internal.</p>
<p>“Digital transformation is about getting closer to our customers, and it’s about making ourselves more sticky in terms of the value and the services we provide. We’re trying to capitalise on that and we’re working to respond to their needs. We know that we need to up our game on the digital systems needed to achieve this.”<br />
Leo Pickford</p>
<p>“If you understand what is the customer’s driver? What is their goal? Then we can offer them the right solutions. And this is why it’s important that you understand the customer process and what the customer goal behind it is. And so we talk the language of the customer.”<br />
Juergen Winterholler</p>
<p>“I think it’s about constantly trying to understand how we can make things better for our customer or for our audiences. We need to make sure that we can meet, and actually surpass their expectations.”<br />
Alex Wodzicki</p>
<p><em>To take a look at our case studies, click <a href="https://www.candyspace.com/work/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</em></p>
<p> <strong> 7. Be bold and Visionary</strong></p>
<p>As a digital pioneer you will of course also need to be a visionary and to be a visionary you need not only a clear view of the future but also an understanding of how you can bring people along with you. It can be scary because the stakes are high but it’s the opportunity for you to learn and grow along with your team and your business.</p>
<p>Juergen Winterholler took on his role at the very beginning of the pandemic and needed immediately to onboard 10,000 newly remote workers onto a legacy infrastructure which simply was not up to it. Others would perhaps have wept and shrunk from the task. But he had a vision – and mere practical issues would not distract him. He knew that the company could fall in behind an idea, a purpose, and an operational shift which brought real results.</p>
<p><em>“We combined teams and changed the whole structure and that was a really good move. And in one year we turned it around and we developed roughly 50% better results in the IT department in one year since COVID.”</em></p>
<p>At the heart it’s about being bold within limits and understanding the needs of the business, a view expressed by Pickford:</p>
<p><em>“Failure is nothing to be scared of. It’s an experience that we learn from. I think there has to be a level of just get on and do stuff. Don’t worry about making sure it’s going to be perfect. So there needs to be that sort of thing in the culture. If there is a gap, work to fill it. Have a go and then iterate and improve.”</em></p>
<p>So let’s leave the final word with Alex Wodzicki who recognises the challenges but rises to them:</p>
<p><em>“It’s about constantly evaluating what we’re doing and why we’re doing it, asking the difficult questions. Should we be doing this? Or actually, should we be doing something else? I think there has to be questioned and interrogated, and on a regular basis because technology moves so fast.”</em></p>

<p class="responsiveNews">Catalent, the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies, development, and manufacturing solutions for drugs, biologics, cell and gene therapies, and consumer health products, today announced that it has completed the expansion of two new suites at its biologics drug substance development and manufacturing facility in Madison, Wisconsin, and has now commenced work on customer programs. The expansion has increased the number of manufacturing suites at the site to five, more than doubling its overall CGMP-scale capacity.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">Catalent first announced the investment to add two new mammalian cell culture suites at the Madison site in January 2019. Each new suite includes a 2×2,000-liter single-use bioreactor system capable of processing batches of 2,000 liters or 4,000 liters for CGMP clinical and commercial manufacturing. The first engineering batch in the new suite began in March 2021, with the first CGMP batch expected to be manufactured during May. The second new suite is being prepared to begin its first engineering batch in May, ahead of its first CGMP batch in mid-July.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">“This new capacity will allow us to meet growing clinical and commercial demand from both existing and new customers,” commented Mike Riley, Region President, Biologics, North America. He added, “Catalent’s continued investment in technology and capacity will enable us to bring our customers’ important and innovative treatments to patients faster.”</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">Opened in April 2013, Catalent Biologics’ Madison facility provides development, manufacturing, and analytical services for new biological entities and biosimilars and is the home of the company’s proprietary GPEx® cell line technology, which is used to create high-yielding mammalian cell lines. The facility was designed for flexible clinical and commercial CGMP production, from 100 to 4,000-liter scale, and also provides non-CGMP production up to 250-liter scale. The addition of the two new manufacturing suites adds to an existing 2×2,000-liter suite, a 1,000-liter suite and a 500-liter suite. Catalent Biologics’ drug substance manufacturing network also includes a facility in Bloomington, Indiana, which houses two 2,500-liter stainless-steel bioreactors, and a 1,000-liter single-use bioreactor for CGMP production, as well as comprehensive drug product fill/finish and packaging capabilities.</p>

<p class="article-date"><span itemprop="contentLocation">PITTSBURGH (PRWEB)</span><br />
<span itemprop="datePublished">April 14, 2021</span></p>
<p class="responsiveNews">Pittsburgh-based, leading 3PL company Elite Transit Solutions (ELITE) has begun aggressive expansion plans with the opening of its first additional locations in Chicago and Charlotte. ELITE, which currently employs 120, has started hiring what it expects to be more than 200 new employees nationally by 2022, with potentially hundreds of more new hires in coming years. The company also has future plans to open more offices around the country.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">In addition to strong customer relationships, the company is attributing much of its growth to its investment in creating groundbreaking proprietary software for the freight management industry.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">“Our Chameleon TMS software is allowing us to evolve from a regional Pittsburgh business to a supply chain brand with a national presence. Our expansion reflects the evolution of our technology. Its scalability is enabling our explosive growth and ambitious goals for diversification in all ways,” said Michael Johnson, CEO, Elite Transit Solutions.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">Through the first quarter of 2021, ELITE is on pace to move more than 85,000 truckloads for its customers in 2021, up from over 50,000 truckloads in 2020. Launched in 2013, ELITE ranked 997 on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list last year, showing three-year revenue growth of 463 percent. It has made the list for the past four consecutive years.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">Geographic expansion and new hires<br />
<br />
Johnson notes that both its new Chicago and Charlotte locations will house sales offices for clients and carrier partners. Both are currently operating in temporary spaces, but permanent offices in both cities are under contract and expected to open by August 2020.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">ELITE’s Chicago presence will be a larger main office staffed by mid-level managers, sales, and on-site administrators, including Human Resources. The Charlotte location will serve as a sales satellite office, where two members of the company’s senior management team are also currently based.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">By location, ELITE expects to hire over 100 new staff members in Chicago and 25 in Charlotte by 2022. Interested candidates may visit <a href="https://elitetransit.com/careers/" onclick="linkClick(this.href)" rel="nofollow">https://elitetransit.com/careers/</a> to access job postings, which continue to be updated.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">Chameleon proprietary technology propels growth<br />
<br />
ELITE’s exceptional customer service and freight management technology innovations have dramatically increased its customer base. Its Chameleon Suite of proprietary advanced logistics tools is a groundbreaking transportation management system (TMS) that creates a scalable infrastructure, allowing exponential expansion.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">The user-friendly software employs predictive analytics to automate up to 80% of logistics tasks, which takes the burden off shippers and helps ELITE maintain its industry-leading 98% on-time delivery rate.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">Of the roughly 16,000+ brokers in the industry, less than a dozen companies own and develop their own software. For ELITE, this investment has paid off by empowering its team to build solutions that address customer challenges, create efficiencies for carriers, and improve productivity and profitability for everyone involved. These innovations mean that ELITE can more effectively assess and control timing and expenses for greater profitability and plan for ongoing solutions development.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">“With Chameleon, we have the leadership team, support, and infrastructure to fuel dramatic growth. A national presence will allow us to diversify our employee base, carrier partner base, and ultimately our shipper/client relationships,” noted Johnson.</p>

</div>
<p class="article-date"><span itemprop="contentLocation">TALLINN, Estonia (PRWEB)</span><br />
<span itemprop="datePublished">April 14, 2021</span></p>
<p class="responsiveNews"><a href="https://cleveron.com/" onclick="linkClick(this.href)" rel="nofollow">Cleveron</a>, one of the world’s leading parcel delivery robotics companies, today unveiled its new unmanned semi-autonomous last mile delivery vehicle, the Cleveron 701. Designed for retailers and logistics companies looking to boost last mile delivery solutions and efficiencies, Cleveron 701 enables businesses to meet the growing demand for same-day delivery driven by the recent acceleration of e-commerce and rapidly changing retail landscape. As the first company in Europe granted a pilot license to operate unmanned semi-autonomous vehicles in public streets across the country, Cleveron has piloted Cleveron 701 for the last six months in Estonia. The Company is scheduled to begin mass production in 2023.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">The Cleveron 701 can drive in low traffic areas, like suburbs, to deliver within 15–30 min driving range of a retailer, fulfilment center or a dark store. Supervised remotely, it can deliver goods from a warehouse or store to nearby customers within an hour, enabling fast and convenient receipt of packages in a competitive timeframe compared to a trip to the store for curbside pickup. The driverless delivery solution also decreases labor cost since one teleoperator is able to supervise 10 vehicles at the same time.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">Cleveron 701 is also designed as an adaptable, semi-autonomous platform to which the operator can add suitable modifications for serving different delivery needs. For example, Cleveron 701 can be modified to operate as grocery delivery robot with temperature-controlled sections, a parcel delivery vehicle or even a high-tech coffee robot or an ice cream truck.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">“We are very proud to announce Cleveron’s latest innovation in autonomous delivery vehicle market. With our new driverless semi-autonomous vehicle, we are enabling retailers and logistics companies to solve complex and costly last mile delivery challenges while satisfying consumer demand for same day, and in some cases, same hour deliveries,” said Cleveron’s CEO Arno Kütt. “Since Cleveron received the first license in Europe to test drive an unmanned vehicle on the streets of Estonia last year without restrictions, we have been amazed at how easily Cleveron 701 has become an organic part of the city life. What’s more, consumers can get groceries, parcels, restaurant deliveries or even ice cream from an environmentally friendly delivery robot.”</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">The Estonian-based technology company is known for its parcel lockers, robots and grocery kiosk, used by top retailers all over the world. According to Kütt, Cleveron 701 is a new type of venture for the company, but the end-goal is the same as for all its products – to offer efficiency and convenience. “We are used to building robots, where you can go and pick up your parcel within seconds. It is still the future for click and collect, but for us, we wanted to expand even further. The online shopping growth has turned e-commerce into just commerce. It is a natural part of shopping. But the delivery times and costs still present a problem, especially with groceries. Consumers want speed and convenience, but it comes with a cost. With driverless delivery, you can cut the last mile labor cost. There will also be less failed deliveries, since the 701 can be deployed from the local dark store quickly,” explained Kütt.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">Cleveron 701 is being developed in company’s hometown of Viljandi, Estonia. It is a lightweight, electric vehicle with an option to use different rechargeable batteries. Max speed is up to 30 mph. Load capacity will be up to 500 lbs.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">About Cleveron<br />

<p class="responsiveNews"><a href="https://www.nai-group.com" title="NAI" onclick="linkClick(this.href)" rel="nofollow">NAI</a> makes cable assemblies, harnesses and box builds to support a variety of industrial technologies. With broad experience in the engineering and manufacturing of rugged interconnect solutions, NAI is well suited to produce these products for factory floor robotics, C-tracks, gantry systems, machine tools, pick and place, and other industrial automation equipment. Assemblies can be made for a range of flexing applications, from minimal to high.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">For continuous flexing with either articulated or cartesian motion, NAI can avail itself of many cable designs and resources that have passed testing and are rated for various flexing cycles, from one million cycles to 20 million cycles. In addition, a variety of available cable jackets can provide protection from various harsh environmental conditions, such as those found on the factory floor or outdoors, including temperature extremes, moisture, oil, gas, chemicals, UV exposure and more.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">NAI can also produce interconnect solutions for service robots, including domestic robots, event robots, robots for use in retail stores, and many more. A recent NAI project involved several service robots to operate in retail store environments. NAI is manufacturing a variety of different assemblies for this project. At the project’s inception, NAI delivered all first articles within six weeks. The NAI global supply team also recommended alternative materials which reduced the lead time for delivery of the assemblies.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">NAI received this service robotics assembly project order due to their trusted supply relationship with the customer, their ability to provide the best lead times and their ability to deliver a quality product that meets all specifications.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">Robotic cable assemblies can be somewhat simple in design, but also range in complexity to harnesses with many terminations.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">An important factor is for the assembly to meet the manufacturing and safety requirements for the application. All robots need to be built with a “critical-to-life” application in mind, particularly medical robots used for surgery. Therefore, the integrity of signals is critical to transmit the intended instructions for proper operation of the robot.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">NAI employs many design and production processes within their Quality Management System to ensure that all assemblies, harnesses and box builds are tested for performance to specifications and will work as expected in the field.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">NAI can provide cable harnesses as an alternative to individual cable assemblies to improve production efficiencies with pretested harnesses that can be installed and positioned properly and more easily.</p>
<p class="responsiveNews">NAI is available to help you find the right interconnect solution for your project.
