Ideal Networks has upgraded the LanXPLORER Pro network troubleshooter with professional PDF reports and compatibility with the Ideal AnyWARE mobile app. Alongside other helpful new diagnosis and connectivity features, technicians using LanXPLORER Pro can now transfer test data to mobile devices directly from the work site using the Ideal AnyWARE app. The app allows users to quickly and simply share PDF or CSV test reports with colleagues or clients, even those based in other locations, improving collaboration and troubleshooting capabilities as well as boosting productivity and minimising downtime.
The upgraded LanXPLORER Pro minimises network downtime by quickly finding and diagnosing problems in networks, cabling and Ethernet devices using copper, fibre and Wi-Fi interfaces. By connecting directly to a specific point rather than scanning an entire network the device can quickly verify status and connectivity, then monitor the total network bandwidth, analysing the top 10 bandwidth talkers and listeners to identify devices which may be reducing network performance.
In addition, the new LanXPLORER Pro NETMAP and NETVERIFY functions can perform full scans of a network to find and display all active devices by IP address, MAC address as well as host name. These results are then saved and compared with future NETMAPs to easily identify any changes in network configuration or to alert a user to any new or removed devices that may affect performance.
With the newly designed Wi-Fi interface, the LanXPLORER Pro can connect and troubleshoot a network anywhere, or perform a Wi-Fi site survey that displays the access point ID, signal strength, channel and encryption status of a network, quickly identifying any causes of connection issues like overlapping Wi-Fi channels or incorrect SSID setup. This allows a technician to perform a holistic test of any network, anywhere in the world.
For VoIP phone calls that fail to connect or have issues with poor quality, the LanXPLORER Pro measures signalling processes and Quality of Service (QoS) in real time using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and provides crucial metrics for troubleshooting including jitter, delay, total packets, packet loss, source/destination IP addresses and UDP port number.

A combination of stunning design, a spectacular desert setting, and exceptional architectural lighting is a winning combination for a private residence just outside of St. George, Utah. JRC Lighting was hired by the homeowner to create the lighting concept for the showpiece home.
"The house has an almost industrial look to it, with a focus on clean lines," said Kevin Meredith, principal at JRC Lighting. "My goal was to keep the lighting understated and let the architecture, and the views, sell themselves.”

This summer EiKO is launching its Z10 product offering. I know, what is Z10 other than the sports cars some of us remember (’69 Z10 Camaro or a 2009 BMW Z10, but let’s go with an American muscle car!)?
So, since it seemed like a sports car “name” (since sports car naming seems to be in numbers), we reached out to Sarah Eastman, VP Marketing for EiKO, who shared that Z10 is an alliance of manufacturers who have developed standards to support an easier lighting controls process within fixtures (remember, I’m not a product maven).

Steven Lupo, Managing Director of Trilliant Canada says this is a critical time for utilities as the industry shifts towards more-connected technologies.
“Of course, anyone in the municipal services industry would comment that there’s always some form of disruption and challenge going on from various factors,” he said. However, the utility sector is on its way toward the second technological wave of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). Similar to Industry 4.0 in industrial and manufacturing sectors, AMI 2.0 represents the implementation of edge computing, cloud services, IT, and software data analytics...
