How National Milling’s future-proof network system can meet the data demands of tomorrow

Businesses in Zambia know that the task of choosing a reliable telecommunications operator to install their network system can be a daunting one. With such a big investment, many businesses and even established ones, still don’t know that if they want to experience a seamless Internet connection, the sure-fire starting point should always be their network infrastructure and set up.

“Having a robust network infrastructure in place is a must for any business” explains Marius van Vuuren from Paratus Zambia “With the right support from our team of highly skilled professionals early on, we can offer you cutting edge, future proof network installations that will ensure your systems are geared to support your business growth.”

Paratus Zambia recently proved just how important the early involvement of a telecommunications operator is. They engaged and collaborated with the largest milling company in the country, National Milling Zambia where they installed a 10-gigabit capable campus area network at its new milling plant, connecting the plant as well as the office buildings on a single network.

“We engaged electrical engineers and other partners involved in the construction of the plant at an early stage. This allowed us to make recommendations on cable pathways and what industry-grade hardware to use. This proactive approach ensured that we were able to deliver a future-proof campus area network that optimises their connectivity. Our early input ensured the best and most efficient network was achieved that can be adapted to reach even faster speeds in future as the demand for data grows.” said van Vuuren.

The project, which relied on fiber optic cabling to connect the plant and office buildings, was installed by highly-skilled, Molex-certified engineers and is backed by a microwave link that switches over automatically to ensure guaranteed uptime and enhanced productivity under a 25-year warranty.

But how exactly does a properly installed network system ensure a seamless Internet connection?

“Think of your network and cabling design as the heart of your business. Just as your arteries and veins provide paths for blood flow throughout your body, the cabling in a telecommunications system provides the pathway for a seamless connection,” explains Paratus Zambia project coordinator, Kapampa Mwila.  A poorly designed network system with tangled cables and improper flow will not be able to effectively traverse data, causing network outages and downtime your business does not need. And if the frustration (and cost) of downtime is not enough, the task of troubleshooting where the actual problem is will take hours or even days to find.

Setting up a server room with the right equipment is an expensive exercise, which is why consulting and engaging with your telecommunications operator in the initial planning stages will not only save you time but money as well. It will also allow you to optimise your network, meaning you can easily adapt to rapidly-changing technological upgrades that meet the data demands of the future. 

We can now confidently keep up the production in our new plant knowing our phone systems, computers and machinery will work seamlessly for many years to come. It gives us the confidence to continue in our pursuit to support the agricultural sector and contribute to the economy in Zambia.” said Dave Bosse, managing director of National Milling Zambia.

Zambia has its challenges, but access to a quality connection should not be one of them. Experience efficiency and unlimit your business’ potential the first time around with a quality network that supports your business’ future.

Digital Therapeutics Revenue from Health Insurers to Reach $8 Billion Globally by 2026

Published

 on

Hampshire, UK – 14th March 2022: A new study from Juniper Research has found that digital therapeutics revenue from health insurers will increase to $8 billion by 2026, up from $1.1 billion in 2022; representing a growth of 610 percent over the next four years. Digital therapeutics are clinically validated software programs for the treatment of chronic medical conditions, either independently or in conjunction with other therapies.

The report found that digital therapeutics facilitate the proactive mitigation of chronic medical conditions before they require costly interventions; enabling health insurers to reduce long-term costs per patient. However, it highlighted that these savings will be limited to health insurers in developed regions, where consumer devices and digitalized health infrastructure are ubiquitous. As such, it noted that health insurers in Africa and Latin America will contribute less than 2 percent towards health insurer-led digital therapeutics revenue in 2026.

A new research, Digital Therapeutics & Wellness: Key Trends, Business Models & Market Forecasts 2022-2026, identified that insurers will also benefit from an ongoing shift among digital therapeutics vendors towards engagement- and results-based payments. It recommends that therapeutics providers looking to leverage this trend prioritize the development of performance benchmarks, as demonstrating improvement and preventing patient abandonment will become a direct monetary issue.

Machine Learning to Move into Advisory Role as Liability Issues Emerge

The report forecasts that the number of people using digital therapeutics will increase by 381% over the next four years, and recognizes that machine learning will be key to this growth by facilitating advanced data analytics, remote patient monitoring, and real-time conversational coaching. However, it cautioned that an ongoing lack of standards surrounding the use of machine learning within digital therapeutics will result in vendors limiting its role in their offerings.

Research author Adam Wears explained: “As developers and healthcare providers increasingly grapple with issues of liability and malpractice, machine learning will transition from a patient-facing role to a diagnostic tool offered through provider-facing dashboards; to be used by clinicians and specialists in a manner akin to traditional computer-aided diagnostics.”
