Airtel Africa's growth continues offsetting loses of parent companySeptember 30, 2019In late August 2019, Airtel Africa passed the 100 million subscribers mark in Africa for the first time. This milestone is impressive since its parent company, Bharti Airtel has been struggling in its core market of India. Bharti Airtel has spent billions to upgrade its LTE network and defend its market share against a hostile competitor, Reliance Jio. However, Airtel’s strategy of fending off Jio has failed as the latter has been able to gain market share by building an extensive 4G network coupled with extremely low entry level prices. For instance, in the last 2 years Bharti Airtel subscribers in India have declined from 381 million in 2017 to the current figure of 324 million. In contrast during the same 2-year period, Airtel Africa’s subsidiaries added 20 million subscribers. Indeed, Bharti Airtel is becoming increasingly dependent on the continued growth of its Africa operations.Subscribers Only

Amazon move to own the home network with Eero acquisitionFebruary 27, 2019Amazon is to enter the home networking equipment market by acquiring Eero, a whole-home Wi-Fi vendor. Eero’s solution consists of a router hub and beacons that can be plugged into a wall outlet to form a mesh network. Unlike most retail Wi-Fi extenders, Eero’s solution is a mesh system with a single service set identifier (SSID). The system also steers the end device to the nearest Eero access point, and identifies which is the most efficient Wi-Fi band, for the end device to achieve optimum Wi-Fi throughput around the home. Eero also offers Eero Plus; an in-home cyber security service for a 99 USD annual subscription. The service also provides managed safe browsing, with the end user able to manage accessible content in the app, anti-virus software, virtual private network (VPN) protection, password management, and ad blocking. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Amazon announced that every Eero employee will be given an offer for continued employment.Subscribers Only

Sensors are here to stay: Impact on traditional patient monitorsJanuary 07, 2019Patient care is shifting from curative to preventative care, with investment heavily placed on limiting avoidable adverse events. Patient diagnosis is happening earlier to reduce the impact to the patient, and the subsequent cost to the provider. It is believed that by focusing on monitoring key health indicators, earlier diagnosis will ultimately reduce healthcare expenditure on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which may have previously gone unnoticed until they required major and costly treatment. Patients are becoming much more involved in the decisions surrounding their own care paths.
