The new Proxicast LAN-Cell 3 VPN 3G/4G Router is ideal for accessing remote industrial control systems, SCADA, machine-to-machine communication (M2M), remote telemetry, and other data collection and control applications. The next-generation rugged LAN-Cell 3 succeeds the older LAN-Cell 2 and provides fast, reliable and cost-effective wireless Internet access over any 3G/4G (LTE, HSPA+) network worldwide. The LAN Cell 3 router is excellent for industrial and remote applications such as:

Factory Automation, PLCs & Industrial Controls
Remote Telemetry, Data-Loggers & RTUs
Water Management & Wastewater Treatment
Building Automation, HVAC Control & Diagnostics
Oil & Gas Well Monitoring & Pipeline Management
Weather, Environmental & Earthquake Monitoring
Electric Power & Automated Meter Reading (AMR)
Smart-Grid Management & Intelligent Power Distribution
Railroad Signals, Crossings & Trackside Sensors
Traffic Signals, Street Lights & Traffic/Red-Light Cameras
Video Surveillance, CCTV, Webcams & Security
Green Renewable Energy, Solar, Biogas & Wind
Temporary Work & Construction Site Monitoring
Digital Signs, Signals & Displays

Our industrial customers are no longer blind to what is happening in the field or on the factory floor, said Jim Sabol, COO of Proxicast. Sensors and other data gathering devices can report information to a central site; or programmable logic controllers (PLC), data-loggers, and industrial computers can be remotely monitored, diagnosed and updated as needed. The new LAN-Cell 3 combines all of these devices into single 3G/4G data stream utilizing a single cellular account typically costing $ 50 to $ 60 per month, saving thousands of dollars per year per site, said Mr. Sabol.

Another major application for the LAN-Cell 3 is remote machine diagnostics and troubleshooting. A truck-roll to a site to diagnose a piece of equipment can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars if the location is very remote. We have a customer doing seismic monitoring that has equipment deployed in locations accessible only by helicopter, said Mr. Sabol. With the LAN-Cell 3, remote diagnostics and service can be performed instantly from any Internet connection.

Even when industrial sites are not so remote, establishing on-site communications can be challenging. Manufacturers of industrial equipment such as turbines, pumps, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, boilers, HVAC systems, and other large complex machinery that provide maintenance service for their equipment are often prohibited from connecting to their customers existing network. Proxicasts customers use the LAN-Cell 3G/4G VPN router as a drop-in communications solution providing remote access to the equipment while allaying the security concerns of the factorys IT department. The 3G/4G cellular connection gives the equipment manufacturer a secure, direct and unrestricted IP communications link to their systems on the customers premises.

The LAN-Cell 3 supports 2G, 3G and 4G cellular modem standards, but LAN-Cell 3 is specifically designed to take advantage of the new high speed 4G (LTE, HSPA+) networks. It supports many of the currently available off-the-shelf 4G USB modems. With speeds of up to 27 Mbps, many new high-bandwidth mobile applications are now possible.

Rising Prevalence of ESRD to Drive Growth in the Kidney Dialysis Equipment and Supplies Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 19, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn Dialysis industry is a multi-billion dollar robust business in the healthcare sector. Global dialysis market offers products and services to worldwide patients suffering from renal ailments. Along with the rapid rise in renal diseases and associated complications, the availability of advanced treatment modes and facilities is also witnessing substantial improvement. Additionally, developing markets of Asia, Africa and Latin America are likely to present vast potential for growth and development, due to a large unexploited market, a huge population base, ever increasing demand and improving infrastructure facilities. Growth pattern in the dialysis market is dependent on the number of users requiring the products and services for renal diseases. Other factors such as efficient distribution network, effective dialysis management, greater awareness and faster service provision are expected to drive growth.

Though the global macroeconomic volatility continues to trigger imbalance across the healthcare industry, especially with the developed countries reeling under budgetary pressures, the dialysis market has been relatively immune to the ongoing turmoil. An aging population and the dialysis industrys stable and non-cyclical characteristic imply that the sector remains relatively unaffected by the adverse economic conditions, which have crippled majority of the industrial sectors. Despite a temporary deceleration in growth during 2008 and 2009, the dialysis industry on the whole remained quite resilient. This can be primarily attributed to the continuous rise in the number of patients suffering from chronic kidney failure, and the sustained efforts being made by governments across the world to provide adequate healthcare to this expanding patient population. Another factor that helped the industry to tide over the economic slowdown is its high-value customer base. Despite being comparatively smaller in size, the industrys customer base has continuously been accredited with lending stability to the industry, thereby making it relatively immune to cyclical effects of economics. However the squeeze in healthcare budgets across the developed markets such the US and Europe is expected lead to contraction in service revenues owing to relative increase in number of government based patients as against commercial patients.

As stated by the new market research report on Kidney Dialysis Equipment and Supplies, the US represents the single largest regional market worldwide, followed by Japan. The US market for dialysis products is led by the significantly higher prevalence of renal failure cases, a phenomenon in the developed countries, which is mainly attributed to the dietary habits of people in these regions. Hypertension and diabetes take lead as prominent causes of ESRD in the US. Asia-Pacific market for kidney dialysis equipment and supplies is expected to witness the fastest growth with value sales forecast to grow at a compounded annual rate of 6.9% over the analysis period, driven by steady economic growth in developing countries, particularly China and India, which represents the leading nations in terms of population. Based on the anticipated growth in the patient population, developing regions are likely to witness higher requirement of dialysis treatment, offering vast growth opportunities for a wide spectrum of dialysis products and services.

Hemodialysis continues to remain the most preferred treatment option among dialysis patients. The largest number of patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment exists in the US followed by Japan, and Europe. In-facility hemodialysis is the leading mode of receiving treatment. The other three modes of dialysis therapy include CAPD, APD, and home hemodialysis. Of late, hemodialysis machines have been witnessing numerous technology developments and innovations. Going ahead, the dialysis industry is expected to further witness high levels of innovation concerning hemodialysis machines.

Peritoneal dialysis equipment and supplies market is also expected to witness growth in the coming years, driven by rising awareness about the procedure and improvements in the technology arena; rising ESRD incidence; and the easy-to-use and self-administrable characteristic of peritoneal dialysis. Resultantly, number of nephrologists and nurses with expertise in the field of peritoneal dialysis continues to expand, which is likely to translate into increased numbers of procedural volume for the technique. The US continues to be a major market for peritoneal dialysis procedures. Growing demand for home-based care and the increasing use of automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) is expected to fuel growth in the domestic PD market. Brazil, China and Japan are among the other leading users of PD method.

The global kidney dialysis supplies and equipment market is dominated by a few large multinational companies, while the remaining market comprises smaller players and companies with regional presence. Key players profiled in the report include Asahi Kasei Kuraray Medical Co. Ltd., Baxter International Inc., B. Braun Melsungen AG, DaVita Inc., Diaverum, Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, Gambro AB, JMS Co. Ltd., Kawasumi Laboratories, Medical Components Inc., Medivators Inc., Nikkiso Co., Ltd., Nipro Corporation, NxStage Medical Inc., Rockwell Medical Technologies Inc., Teleflex Medical, and Toray Medical Co. Ltd., among others.
