First Dahua LED Screen Project in Azerbaijan

The ADA university in Azerbaijan started the construction of a new teaching building in 2017. Its multimedia classroom has been equipped with Dahua’s technology to help provide 40 square metres of LED screens to provide students with advanced and modern teaching equipment.

Established by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, ADA University is a state higher education institution engaged in the delivery of undergraduate and graduate degree programmes in addition to research advancement.

42 m2 PHSA1.6-MH indoor fine pixel LED screens from Dahua Technology were seamlessly spliced and installed in the multimedia classroom of the ADA University. The solution features a single control chip with only one IC. The product adopts spread spectrum VFE technology to achieve a higher refresh rate, while its wide colour range provides excellent high restoration and colour uniformity. It can also achieve high contrast, low failure rate and low light reduction. With wide current regulation technology, the brightness of the LED screens can be adjusted within 50-800 nits without losing grey levels, which is applicable in different environments. A centralised power supply was also deployed to lower power consumption.

In addition to providing the devices, staff from the Dahua Delivery Department were also responsible for on-site installation, offering operation and after-sales training to both distributor and staff of ADA University.

The customer was very satisfied with the successful delivery of the project. The students of ADA University can now enjoy vivid and colourful videos and images through the LED screen, bringing a pleasant viewing experience for teachers and students.

“Dahua Technology has a professional technical team, which provides us with high-quality service. We are very satisfied with Dahua Technology’s products. The professional training provided to us is very helpful for our operation and maintenance. We believe that we will continue to cooperate with Dahua Technology in the future,” said Alekberov Mukhdar, Electrical Engineer of ADA University.

ASSA ABLOY has signed an agreement to acquire AM Group, an Australian industrial door company within entrance automation.

“I am very pleased to welcome AM Group and their employees into the ASSA ABLOY Group. I welcome this complementary addition to our business, specializing in innovative entrance automation,” says Nico Delvaux, President and CEO of ASSA ABLOY.

“AM Group complements both our product offering and our geographic coverage in Australia. By adding their strong product portfolio, which includes rolling steel doors and bi-fold doors, to ASSA ABLOY’s commercial network, technologies and competences, we will continue our successful journey,” says Mogens Jensen, Executive Vice President of ASSA ABLOY and Head of Entrance Systems Division.

AM Group was founded in Australia in 1923 and has 425 employees. The head office is located in Sydney, Australia.

Sales for 2019 are expected to reach about EUR 74 million with a good EBIT margin and the acquisition will be accretive to EPS from the start.

The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions and is expected to close during the first quarter of 2020.

IAM Market Set to Hit US $20 Billion

The Identity and Access Management (IAM) Market size is set to cross USD 20 billion by 2025, according to a new research report by Global Market Insights, Inc.

The IAM market is estimated to register substantial growth from 2019 to 2025 due to growing cases of identity theft, data leakage & loss, and unauthorised access. The market growth is attributed to rapid advancements in the IT infrastructure, rising security concerns among organisations due to an increase in data breaches & identity theft, rising growth of web-based applications, enhanced adoption of the IDaaS platform, and favourable government initiatives. The UK government passed the GDPR law effective from May 2018, which will assist businesses to enhance their cyber security portfolio, improve data management, and provide enhanced user experience by maintaining the data security of their customers.

Identity and access management solutions help organisations to secure their social media solutions and protect their users’ identity & account-related information. They provide multi-factor authorisation and sends notifications of unsuccessful login attempts & any attempts to authenticate from any regions recognised as sources for frequent attacks.

The password management segment within the identity and access management (IAM) market is projected to grow at over 13% CAGR over the forecast timeline. The major factors driving the growth of password management solutions include the rising demand by SMEs, increasing stringent regulatory compliance, and risk management environment. These solutions also offer the convenience of usage as users can reset their passwords without the intervention of IT staff, save their time, offer enhanced security, and save additional costs. Employees working both in SMEs and large enterprises require numerous passwords to use personal and enterprise applications. These passwords must also be changed regularly for security and regulatory compliance.

The deployment of IAM solutions in manufacturing applications is estimated to grow at more than 9% over the forecast timeline (as illustrated above) due to increasing unauthorised access and insider attacks. Companies in the manufacturing industry operate in a highly competitive environment with thin margins. These firms face challenges in maintaining compliance with industry regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, to enhance efficiency and reduce user administration costs. IAM solutions support these manufacturing firms to reduce operational costs along with protecting user identity and restraining unauthorised access. The customers, suppliers, partners, and employees of firms require efficient automated processes with system access to improve productivity and mitigate any insider attack risks.

Geographically, North America is projected to dominate the identity and access management market over the forecast timeline with a share of above 45% due to growing usage of cloud services, robust ICT infrastructure, and increasing trends of BYOD. Governments across the region formulated stringent programmes and invested hefty funds in R&D to explore the best systems for protecting their user data. The advent of cloud based IAM solutions acts as a prominent parameter for market growth.

Market players operating in the identity and access management market are focusing on offering new products and services to gain market share. Aggressive pricing strategy and innovations in IAM solutions are anticipated to be key strategies for market players to gain competitive advantage. Some key players include Sailpoint Technologies Holdings, Inc., Centrify Corporation, Dell Inc., IBM Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Forgerock, CA Technologies, Crossmatch, Gemalto, Iwelcome, Okta, Inc., Oracle, Ping Identity, and Symantec Corporation.

Anixter to be Acquired by CD&R

Anixter International, a leading global distributor of Network & Security Solutions, Electrical & Electronic Solutions and Utility Power Solutions, has entered into a definitive agreement with an affiliate of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) to be acquired in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $3.8 billion. The transaction will result in Anixter becoming a private company and is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2020.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, CD&R-managed funds will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Anixter common stock for $81.00 per share in cash. This represents a premium of approximately 13% over Anixter’s closing price on October 29, 2019, and a premium of approximately 27% over the 90-day volume-weighted average price of Anixter’s common stock for the period ended October 29, 2019.

“We believe this transaction is in the best interest of Anixter and our stockholders,” said Bill Galvin, Anixter’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “After careful and thorough analysis, together with our independent advisors, our Board of Directors unanimously approved this transaction with CD&R, which has a strong reputation and a track record of success in helping industrial distributors, like Anixter, prosper and grow. We are also pleased that this transaction appropriately recognises the value of Anixter’s customer relationships, technology and solutions, financial management and global market position. It’s a great outcome for Anixter’s employees, customers and partners. As a private company, we believe Anixter will have greater flexibility to focus on and accelerate our long-term strategic priorities.”

Nate Sleeper, Partner at CD&R, said, “Anixter is an exceptionally well-positioned industrial distributor with leading market positions and differentiated capabilities that deliver strong customer value. We look forward to partnering with the outstanding management team, led by Bill Galvin, on initiatives to grow the business and further strengthen its competitive position while maintaining Anixter’s distinctive culture grounded in operational excellence, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to the company’s employees, customers, and global partners.”

5 Universities Where Wireless Access Control Is Making a Difference

London, November 2019 — Universities push traditional access control to its limits. The more you ask of it, the tougher it gets.

You want to monitor access all over campus. To know who comes and goes to computer rooms and classrooms. You’d like to filter access to conference and seminar rooms according to the time — lecturers all day, cleaners and contractors after hours. Meanwhile, you want students to be safe 24/7, without compromising the sense of freedom they enjoy on campus.

Mechanical lock-and-key security cannot do this. Managing keys weighs facilities staff down. Students lose them all the time, and they’re expensive and laborious to replace. The traditional solution — wired doors with card readers — is costly to fit and run. There is an alternative.

“Battery-powered electronic locks with inbuilt RFID readers are a cost-effective way to upgrade existing access control and bring it to more doors,” says Lars Angelin, Business Development Manager for Wireless Locks at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEA. “Our Aperio wireless locks integrate seamlessly with more than 100 different security systems. You don’t even need to change your smart-cards. They fit all kinds of doors.”

“And because they are battery-powered and wire-free, they’re much more cost-effective to install and run than traditional electronic door security.”

It sounds great in theory. But what about the real world? These 5 universities have experienced an impact already.

University of Liverpool, England: aesthetics and sustainability
A BREEAM sustainability rating of “Excellent” was reward for innovative architecture that combines aesthetics with environmental awareness*. Vine Court’s sustainable features include rainwater harvesting, solar water heating and battery-powered Aperio wireless electronic locks. Unlike wired access control, Aperio wireless locks use little electricity. Catherine Anderson at the University of Liverpool called Vice Court “a new and exciting benchmark for the Student Accommodation Sector.”

Lund University Faculty of Law, Sweden: easy migration from a 20-year-old system
The Law Faculty wanted to replace their access system without asking 50,000 students and staff to return existing smart-cards for reprogramming. Aperio made the process almost invisible from a user perspective. They didn’t even need to revalidate at a reader. Convenience is king: with Aperio wireless locks, security managers block lost cards without traipsing to every door. A Pacom Unison security platform handles everything seamlessly. Facilities staff spend less time on admin and more on security.

Aberdeen University, Scotland: online and affordable
At Aberdeen’s refurbished Student Village, Aperio online cylinders and certified security locks cover doors requiring different grades of security. Cost efficiencies came at installation stage — no cabling to the doors means no expensive electrical contractors — and will continue through the locks’ operational life. Unlike standard wired access control that requires “always-on” mains electricity, Aperio wireless locks are powered by batteries. These typically need replacing every couple of years — and that’s it for maintenance.

HafenCity University Hamburg, Germany: key-free campus for a landmark development
A partnership between SIEMENS and ASSA ABLOY provides intelligent, transparent electronic access control at a new docklands hub for the university. Aperio electronic cylinders filter access to the media centre, library, cafeteria, seminar rooms, staff rooms, laboratories and offices. Locking with these wireless RFID devices enables the university to remain an open, welcoming space without sacrificing staff and student safety.

University of Birmingham, England: integrated, future-proof access management
Two new accommodation blocks at the university’s Vale Village complex needed locks to integrate seamlessly with a pre-existing campus security system, including Gallagher Command Centre software. Aperio locks now secure almost 1,800 doors with a low-cost solution that eases the key management workload for facilities staff. Everything is controlled from the Gallagher interface. And because Aperio is scalable, they can add new doors and buildings whenever they choose.

No keys — and no stock-room thieves — when you fit a Code Handle® digital PIN lock

London, November 2019 — All retail outlets have doors off their shop floor where the public should not go. Yet managing keys creates a distracting staff workload. A bulky mechanical PIN lock ruins the aesthetics of the shop. In a small retail space, electronic access control could be overkill. Now, the Code Handle battery-operated digital lock secures your door with a slim-line handle.

Ensure thieves won’t be tempted to enter a room where valuable stock is held, with only a simple door lock on the handle it is very easy. Yet with Code Handle you can install an attractive, secure product that helps keep thieves out.

Code Handle is a locking handle with a built-in PIN keypad. It adds reliable electronic security to almost any interior door, with no unsightly push-button unit. To lock a door facing a public space, Code Handle does it subtly, simply and with no hassle.

Code Handle is easy for shop staff to operate, you set your own Master Code and issue up to 9 different user PINs (4–6 digits). Employees and authorised visitors such as cleaners press their code on the handle’s keypad and the door unlocks. Close the door and the Code Handle locks automatically. When an employee moves on, you can cancel their PIN in seconds, without removing the handle, and issue a different one.

If you have an access control or alarm system protecting the main entrance, a Code Handle works neatly alongside it without complicated connections or additional cabling.

Looks good and lasts
ASSA ABLOY’s advanced industrial design has created a Code Handle that is slim, sleek and attractive. It looks just like any stylish door handle: so doesn’t stand out when customer walk by.

Installation is easy, with no wiring or specialist tools. Two screws attach your Code Handle to almost any interior door up to 80mm thick, in left- or right-hand versions. You don’t even need to change the existing door cylinder. Two standard CR2 batteries slot inside and typically last for 30,000 lock/unlock cycles before replacement. An LED indicator tells you when.

Code Handle is tested for at least 100,000 operations throughout its life, as well as fire certified (EN 1363). Once installed, it allows free and easy exit from the inside.

Automated locking means you don’t even lock up behind you. To keep a door unlocked, after entering the PIN, temporarily hold Code Handle down for 5 seconds. You can disable the auto-locking feature, if you choose. Like every Code Handle function, it’s user-friendly and secure.

Whether you own, manage or offer security services to a shop, outlet store, petrol station or car dealership, Code Handle is a convenient, low-cost security solution. It locks stock rooms, staff toilets and offices facing onto any space where the public is free to roam.

Over thirty Chinese hospitals work to establish the first 5G standard

Several leading hospitals in China, in collaboration with Huawei, have launched a project to establish the first 5G-based standard for hospital networks, which are projected to be used inside hospital buildings. The country’s leading 5G technology provider, Huawei, have been tasked with implementing the network.

More than thirty hospitals, the China Association of Medical Equipment, Huawei and three major telecom carriers jointly launched the project. The project is under the guidance of the National Health Commission and is led by the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, the National Telemedicine and Connected Health Center and the Primary-care Telemedicine Development Directory Center.

By establishing standards of 5G in hospitals, the development of healthcare digitization and IoT in healthcare and smart hospital buildings will also be accelerated. Moreover, the project will focus on the 5G-based telemedicine applications and the combination of clinical applications and the technical standards.

Huawei has built over 100 5G medical demonstration sites based on its 5G indoor solutions, presenting commercial medical services such as consultation, outpatient and image diagnosis.

In August 2019, China released the tele-healthcare pricing and assurance policy, pushing tele-healthcare services a step closer to the commercial stage.

“The standard (created from the project) will be developed based on the successful experience of previous programs and combines the wisdom of medical and communication experts to effectively apply 5G in hospitals,” said Nie Chunlei, Chief of the National Health Commission’s primary care healthcare department, in a Huawei press release.

Chunlei continued, “As part of the infrastructure of information-driven primary healthcare, it will accelerate the Internet and medical development, improve primary healthcare to become more convenient, accessible and helpful to the people.”

In a remote diagnosis case on critical pulmonary between the China-Japan Friendship Hospital and a Singaporean hospital, 12GB of data was transferred in 12 hours. At the demonstration of Huawei’s 5G solution, 6GB of data was downloaded “instantly.”

“Emergency and critical cases have more demand for cross-discipline joint diagnosis, for which more data needs to be transmitted and where faster responsiveness to various changing factors must be ensured …There are so many cases like this in Internet medical services that requires the benefits of 5G,” said Lu Qingjun, Director, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, in a Huawei press release.

China Mobile plans to provide commercial 5G services in more than 50 cities across China this year.
