How Technology Companies Find Growth Opportunities in Digitized Governance Models
eGovernance models and platforms are instrumental in improving socioeconomic infrastructure, says Frost & Sullivan SAN ANTONIO, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Citizens' evolving requirements, rapid urbanization and digitalization are encouraging governments to adopt a digitized governance model. Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis, eGovernance Platforms and Services Industry, finds that the eGovernance model encourages a collaborative ecosystem between public and private sectors, which can also uplift socioeconomic infrastructure. Additionally, governments' move to address the needs of urban populations by upgrading infrastructural capabilities will unlock massive investment opportunities across different areas, such as smart cities. Growth Opportunities in Digitized Governance Models For further information on this analysis, please click here "The global urban population will contain 1.25 billion more people by 2030. This creates a strategic need for the introduction of digital governance models that could potentially empower administrators to enhance their capabilities to better manage citizen-oriented services," said Partha Sarathi Chakraborty, TechVision Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "eGovernance, in this instance, directly increases the government's operational efficiency and caters to citizens' needs." Chakraborty added: "When making eGovernance solutions, administrators must innovate and identify potential areas where technology can help. This requires the development of an ICT-based ecosystem where private players are encouraged to make investments and help citizens communicate with their administrators in a more effective and engaging manner." Growth prospects for eGovernance platforms include: Technology companies collaborating with smart cities and encouraging them to adopt a digital-first strategy to provide better social benefits and improve public service outreach. Market participants and governments focusing on investments in the upskilling and reskilling of workers to help nations accelerate the adoption of a full-scale digital governance model. Private entities working closely with governments to help them develop, train, and retain talent to manage a self-sovereign ID (SSI) network. eGovernance Platforms and Services Growth Opportunities is the latest addition to Frost & Sullivan's TechVision research and analyses available through the Frost & Sullivan Leadership Council, which helps organizations identify a continuous flow of growth opportunities to succeed in an unpredictable future.

Video technology from Hikvision aids endangered pangolin populations
HANGZHOU, China, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hikvision has begun working with environmental protection partners to provide intelligent video technologies to help protect pangolins, ancient creatures that appeared in fossil records possibly going as far back as 35-55 million years. Deforestation and intrusive human activities have disrupted their forest ecosystems extensively, leaving pangolins vulnerable to illegal hunting and other dangers. In light of these challenges, Hikvision has taken actions to help protect these renowned and precious guardians of the forest. Strongly shielded, but critically endangered In spite of the strong shield pangolins wear, their population has declined at an alarming rate – the result of poaching and illegal trade. Worse still, the destruction of their habitats further exacerbates their plight. Pangolins feed almost exclusively on ants and termites. Such a simple diet makes them particularly poor at adapting to changes in their environment. In China alone, its population is estimated to have decreased by an exorbitant 90% since the 1960s, prompting the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to put the Chinese pangolin on its red list as a Critically Endangered animal. Thankfully, the future looks positive The good news is that governments and international organizations have intensified their efforts to crack down on poaching and illegal trading of pangolins over the years. Significant resources have been dedicated to the animals' protection and breeding in the field. The United Nations has declared the third Saturday of February as "World Pangolin Day" in order to raise awareness about protecting these creatures across the globe. In addition, focus has also been placed on surveying and monitoring wild pangolin populations and their habitats. Patrolling forests and mountains has radically diminished poaching efforts while also strengthening on-going research on the artificial breeding measures currently underway. Hikvision helps to guard the guardians of the forest Hikvision Digital Technology, Inc. has recently begun working with partners to help protect pangolin populations in the Wuqinzhang Reserve in Guangdong, China. The video technology company, known mostly for its security products and applications, provided an intelligent video system designed, in this case, for protecting these animals. The system integrates professional video software with dedicated functions including AI-equipped cameras that can identify this unique animal automatically. The system further analyzes nearby animal activity and monitors human contact with wildlife. Before this time, research in the reserve was impeded by the lack of data and video footage on the local ecosystem in general and pangolin activity in particular. Researchers were forced to travel dozens of kilometers on foot deep into mountainous areas and dense, unfriendly forests only to collect very limited data. After the Hikvision system was put into place, however, workers have been able to access large amounts of video footage, studying and documenting pangolin living habits. These valuable materials currently help reveal and restore populations as they facilitate the work of researchers. "The protection of pangolins is of great value in protecting the biodiversity in our forests," pointed out Li Chen, director of Xizijiang Ecological Conservation Center, a non-profit organization for monitoring, studying, and protecting wildlife. "The intelligent video system allows for smart, information-based and real-time monitoring of pangolins. It relieves researchers from patrolling pressures and provides precious data for the scientific research of pangolins. We are expecting more technologies to be used in the future of the Wuqinzhang Reserve to protect pangolins, so that more of them can thrive here." When the "guardians of the forest" are in danger, it is people's responsibility to protect them. Hikvision believes that the strength of technology can be a force for positive change, not only for human societies, but also for wildlife. By developing technologies to aid ecological research and protection such as this, Hikvison is doing its part to protect biological diversity.

Omdia Releases White Paper on the Enduring Value of IP + Optical
BARCELONA, Spain, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Omdia released the white paper: "The enduring value of IP + Optical" at the 2022 Next Generation Optical Networking (NGON) forum held in Barcelona, Spain. The white paper offers analysis of "IP over WDM" and "IP+Optical", states t IP over WDM was initially designed for one specific cloud service provider niche application. For communications service providers (CSPs)"IP+Optical" continues to be the more practical solution for CSP network, application and operational needs. As stated in the white paper, the IP over WDM (IPoWDM) concept has been around for many years. Its fundamental premise has always been the ability to deploy transmission optics within routing platforms to delayer and simplify networks. However, the hardware and software standardization of IPoWDM are work in progress industry initiatives and a significant integration effort is shifted from the vendors to the CSPs. In contrast to the multi-variant architecture of IPoWDM, IP + Optical continues to demonstrate enduring value for the CSP community. CSPs can continue to quickly leverage best-of-breed technology developments. Networks can be managed with existing skill sets and resources. Major advances in wavelength management continue, both in the core, at scale, and at the edge. Meets CSP's desire to maximize spectral efficiency and total system capacity. Omdia believes that IP+optical synergy will bring enduring value to CSPs. For more details, download the white paper of the Enduring Value of IP + Optical.
