Find the right fixed wireless partner: Here's my checklist (Reader ... (RCR Wireless News)

Each customer — and use case — is going to be unique and will require a solution that reflects tech innovation and customer support and TOC.

That might work if the customer is starting with a small network and trying it out with a few radios to see how it works. Your best bet is to calculate the total cost of ownership of any solution — and that reflects a myriad of factors such as the importance of software management to remotely manage and maintain the network as well as the level of overall security. Keep that as your North Star, and you’ll come away with a solution that lets you sleep at night. These are all key components of any plan you need to deploy a wireless solution with confidence. Customers need to be able to control, manage and monitor everything across their networks, and that requires features that foster operational ease of use. - You need to build for the future. There’s no set time to expect the unexpected, which is why a technology supplier needs to be on call at all times. The technology provider you work with should be able to offer different architecture options. Find a partner that offers different solutions so you can find the best match. Similarly, your supplier should be able to manage security, redundancy and scale while maintaining the operating system. How do you supply routers to your customers? Do you supply anything beyond that subscriber module to your customers?

VoxLens: Adding one line of code can make some interactive ... (UW News)

Millions of Americans use screen readers for a variety of reasons, including complete or partial blindness, learning disabilities or motion sensitivity.

It’s really important that we start thinking more about how to make technology useful for everybody.” Additional co-authors on this paper are Olivia Wang, a UW undergraduate student in the Allen School, and Alida Muongchan, a UW undergraduate student studying human centered design and engineering. “In our study, interaction time refers to how long it takes to extract information, and that’s why reducing it is a good thing.” The goal of our project is to give screen-reader users a platform where they can extract as much or as little information as they want.” “We made VoxLens a public library, which means that you’re going to hear the same kind of summary for all visualizations. Someone told us they’ve been trying to access visualizations for the past 12 years and this was the first time they were able to do so easily.” Right now, VoxLens only works for visualizations that are created using JavaScript libraries, such as D3, chart.js or Google Sheets. But the team is working on expanding to other popular visualization platforms. “We didn’t want people to jump from one visualization to another and experience inconsistent information,” Sharif said. University of Washington researchers worked with screen-reader users to design VoxLens, a JavaScript plugin that — with one additional line of code — allows people to interact with visualizations. It’s just not structured in the same way, which means there’s no obvious entry point or sequencing for screen readers.” “We’re not going to build something and then see how it works. We’re going to build it taking users’ feedback into account.
