Volan Technology

HackerNoon Reporter: Please tell us briefly about your  background. Prior to becoming the CEO & Co-founder of Volan Technology, I was an early executive at two fast-growth enterprise software startups, Silknet Software ($4.2B exit) and BladeLogic ($900M exit). What's your startup called? And in a sentence or two, what does it do? Volan Technology has created a new micro-location network technology that enables organizations to dramatically improve the safety and security of people on-site, decrease operational costs, and increase workforce optimization. The technology is an AI–powered “people positioning” platform that intelligently captures and anonymously analyzes 3D location positioning of thousands of individuals in and across buildings, in real-time and historically.  Volan’s software and sensors automatically form an independent self-healing wireless mesh network with no dependency on smartphones, GPS or Wi-Fi.  This makes it easy to implement anywhere, incredibly precise, protective of user privacy, and not vulnerable to network or power outages. What is the origin story? When I saw the available options for emergency response in schools and businesses, I knew there had to be a better way. As a father with two school-aged kids, I was concerned that solutions using GPS, video surveillance and RFID lock systems were inadequate for indoor location identification and response effectiveness.  In most cases, they have just been retrofitted from existing tech and don’t provide accurate enough location or incident information and don’t meet sufficient privacy standards. Even more concerning, they stop working the moment there’s a network or power outage. I developed Volan from the ground up, creating an entirely new way to provide accurate people positioning both in real time and historically. The data the system collects has multiple applications, from emergency response, to instant and precise contact tracing reports to workforce optimization and digital barriers. Volan’s revolutionary technology is providing schools and businesses with a system they can rely on, designed specifically to protect their people and streamline their operations. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? I love that our team consists of highly experienced professionals from across the country and around the world, each of whom has passion to make a real impact on workplace safety, security and efficiency. Each person brings an intimate understanding of the pain points our varied customers face. While team members act as experts in their respective verticals, collaboration between people from completely different backgrounds brings fresh perspectives to develop creative and innovative solutions. A highly dynamic and intelligent team allows us to leverage micro-location data into game-changing solutions for customers. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? If I weren’t building my own start-up, I would be helping other entrepreneurs build theirs. At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? Success to us is really about ensuring product-market fit that solves customer problems and scales. This is measured by a number of parameters, including customers won and more importantly retained, how valuable the metrics and ROI are that they achieve with our technology, annual recurring revenue and year-over-year revenue growth. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? It is especially exciting to witness the impact of our technology across a diverse group of customers and needs, from Fortune 500 firms, to airports, stadiums, schools and hotels. The company started with a focus on fundamentally improving emergency response effectiveness in schools using new micro-location technology and AI. But early customers and partners urged us to also apply this new technology to address additional pain points across their company and industries. For example, schools asked us to adapt our location analytics to make contact tracing instant and accurate, enabling them to avoid mass quarantines and shutdowns, and save significant money on manual tracing. An airport is applying our technology to improve safety on construction sites and to reduce the high-cost of monitoring workers and compliance audits. A manufacturing company is using Volan to unlock new workforce analytics to dramatically reduce operational cost and improve efficiency. Seeing our core technology validated in so many use cases is very exciting. What technologies are you currently most excited about, and most worried about? And why? I’m most excited about digital twin technology. It bridges the physical and digital worlds with a virtual model of properties and data that can reveal game-changing efficiency improvements, revenue opportunities and safety and security advancements. Volan’s unique people-positioning technology is at the heart of that initiative, enabling companies to unlock new areas of cost savings and operational improvements.

How Useful are Computational Models to Traders in Their Decision Making?

Abstract For the blockchain methodology, the use of distributed block relations, it's important to know how they affect the liberalization of relations in the country. The question is reasonable, and to investigate it, in many countries there are already prerequisites, projects. The essence of the blockchain methodology reflects the principle of mathematical calculation of the value of a cryptographic hash function. When successfully solving this problem, a new block is added to the cryptosystem, with a small reward in cryptocurrency for the solved mathematical problem. Each token (block) in the system has its own transaction history, a chain of transactions. In our work, we systematically analyze the problems of blockchain transaction management in the elective system and offer our solutions. Literary and analytical review The liberalization of blockchain and the democratization of the electoral system is a consequence of modern digital transformations in society, digital democracy . [1] By "electronic voting", we mean the voting procedure using scanning ballots and providing automatic counting of voter's votes, their transfer by telecommunications or mobile communications. The selective practice state is based on various technical means of electronic voting . Internet voting - on the website, on a special interface service . [2] [3] Internet voting is implemented using: technically equipped booth at the polling station (Fig.1); Internet kiosks (as in the "electronic government" system) in public places; remote web voting (voting point is selected by the voter) . [4] The electoral blockchain system assumes that candidates (possible decisions made) are entered in "digital wallets" similar to cryptocurrency wallets . The voter participates in the formation of the election outcome anonymously, i.e. participates in the formation of a "portion (token)" of state power, giving his vote to the blockchain system. All voters in the peer-to-peer network connect tokens using blockchain technology and the election result is formed. [5] Any registered voter shall exercise his/her right to vote "in this place, at this time, through this communication channel". The peer-to-peer model (Р2Р) of using blockchain voting practically (if there are no critical, force majeure failures) excludes falsification of the results . [6] - [8] But so far there are many uncertainties with transactions. This leads to conflicts with the law . [9] "The state should be a digital platform for both people and cars". [10] For the first time, blockchain voting was tested in the Agora Voting project in the elections to the Spanish Cortes ]. Now used in the USA, Switzerland, Great Britain, Japan, Sierra Leone and other countries. A number of countries (Ireland, Germany, France, etc.) tested the blockchain capabilities of their electoral systems. Then they suspended testing, including by decision of the Constitutional Court, as, for example, in Germany. [11 "From bad to worse?" An article by a group of scientists from MIT made a very critical analysis of the possibilities and need to use blockchain voting systems. We will make a critical analysis of the main conclusions, theses of this article. [12] "Blockchain technology does not solve the fundamental security problems that affect all electronic voting systems". The blockchain methodology in voting systems will ensure the protection of the transfer of votes to the DB, access from the computer of each voter in the system. This is implemented programmatically, using the cryptographic code of a citizen. Although blockchain, SMART contracts are legally rejected by many, but they allow voters to have parallel access to the updated digital "book of voits" , which is unchanged in the voting process. There may be a problem with the increase in transaction processing time . [13] [14] "Electronic, online, and blockchain voting systems are more vulnerable to major disruptions than available paper-based alternatives". As the experiment with online voting in the Moscow Duma shows, in three pilot constituencies, it turned out to be successful. Of the 11,228 people who registered to participate in the electronic elections, they appeared, that is, they voted using a smartphone, computer, tablet, almost 92%. 22% of voters came to the "classic, paper" polling stations. In other European cities there is a comparable turnout . There are also "technological advantages" - few "invalid bulletins" (technical failures), and the existing ones are quite fixable during further testing of the system. As for the transition to blockchain technology, it’s systemically tested and largely verified. [15] International experts recognized that there is no such approach and results in Europe. Emmanuel Leroy, Secretary-General of the international People's Sovereignty Movement, said: "Today I saw an example of excellent work and a truly transparent process. Unfortunately, this is not the case in France". But research in this direction in Europe is underway (for example, ). [16] "Adding new technologies to elective systems can create new potential for attacks". Obviously, security problems greatly affect the block-democratization of voting. Anonymity is the main thing in any voting system. It's often impossible to track. But not in blockchain-oriented systems, the reliability of which for short-term (operational) transactions is extremely high due to the algorithms used and their reliability, estimates of traditimic complexity. And the voting period - very short - no more than 14-20 hours. Proposed solutions We offer our solutions to improve the blockchain voting system. Firstly, we believe that blockchain voting is a methodology for organizing public voting (not only elected). Therefore, it should be systematically investigated. Secondly, the blockchain also changes the performance criteria of the election system and voting system, allows you to self-tune on the profile of the voter. This will make it possible to cope with the task of preserving the secrecy of voting and confidentiality at a sufficient level. But there is a problem of mass development of blockchain technology. In Russia, this is confirmed by a survey by the National Agency for Financial Research, for example, only 4% are well aware of the system, 16% have heard about it. Therefore, we also conducted a similar survey of students. He gave, in particular, variances and deviations for the two small groups surveyed (24 and 25 person), respectively, equal to D1 = 0,005, D2 = 0,025 and S1 = 0,029, S2 = 0,086. Thirdly, to increase voter turnout, reduce fraud (see their legal classification and "portraits" in ) or combat disenfranchisement and coercion, fuzzy and neuro-systems should be used. These systems are taught ("training with a teacher" method) using examples of such violations. [17] The "binding" of the ballot to the one voting in the blockchain system is implemented, in our opinion, as in tested systems, according to the scheme: "token (voice) - transaction (submission) - confirmation (comparison with the profile of the voter) - placement in the chain (voice accounting)". Structural diagram is given in Fig.4. A good solution is offered here - the use of risk management (audit, see, for example, ) to identify vulnerabilities. As proposed by the International Association of Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA) for the development of blockchains in the EU. A practical solution is based on consensus algorithms and DLT development practices. [18] For the fast implementation of electronic voting in life, we need an application, very simple and easy to use. With whose help can we build the system? Let's move from theory to practice. We can take the Leo programming language as a basis, which is just adapted for building private applications. Also, to eliminate critical factors, I analyzed the work "Results of the technical audit of electronic voting on 09/08/2019 in Moscow" https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CcUXwRFCoSQ1NxzQtdwpi1spUQxSrWLE/view At all stages of interaction with an ALEO blockchain and the privacy of voting will be guaranteed by zero-knowledge protocols based on the complexity of discrete logarithms and homomorphic commitments. With this approach, the secrecy of the vote will not be violated even if it is possible to associate encrypted voter votes with specific people. In which the process of building such a system is described in sufficient detail. Since ZKP is used, you can also check if your vote passed or not. But unlike other auditors, you know that your vote is your vote. Others can see confirmation only that the vote has been received from a verified voter. Also, the voter will not be able to receive a public HASH transaction and violate the "protection against Coercion" rule (If I have a receipt, I can prove how I voted, therefore confirm to the party attempting to buy my vote.) ] [19,20,21 Voters should be able to enter their details and confirm their voting rights, but there should be no transparency of the votes cast until the end of the voting. ZKP will allow you to operate only with a verifiable anonymized hash of your right to the ballot, which is quite enough for user verification. There should be no conflicts with the transparency of the system itself. Analogs of blockchain technology can be used to develop B2B trade products and optimize financial transactions in the blockchain (for example, Commonwealth Bank of Australia). When registering and confirming your right to vote (it can be a one-time actual visit to a polling station or an entrance through a government service), you are given only a tool to activate any public key you create locally, and ZK-proof technology will allow you to do this anonymously. Subsequently, if you lose the private key from the authorized address, you can re-sign another address. In the event that this is an attempt to split the voice, then the smart contract will always find and cut off duplicates of such votes. In any case, we need to avoid such vulnerabilities as SMS verification, registration through any site with many backdoors, centralized data processing servers, PoA mechanics, and so on. The use of ALEO`s apps will increase trust in the network and increase the turnout rate and fair elections. According to a recent announcement, about $ 20 mln was spent on the Russian presidential election.[ ] 22 If we compare the ease of creating applications and, consequently, the amount for the development and maintenance of the voting system on the ALEO Blockchain, then the choice is obvious. Today, the ALEO community has all the necessary skills and resources to build this system. The question of implementation is only in the desire of the states. Conclusions To liberalize and create a democratic voting system, opportunity analytics based on blockchain technologies are necessary. First of all, in terms of predictability, security and decentralization. The analysis done in our work is the "zero turn of the evolutionary spiral", a possible part of the basis for the development of a self-developing system ("self-voting" system) based on blockchains.

On the Causes and Consequences of Large Factories

In the world of small businesses, efficiency in all phases of operations is a must. That’s why many small companies try to squeeze as much use out of every dollar they spend on necessary office technology. As anyone that’s ever managed technology for a small business can tell you, however, there’s a fine line between cost-savings and sheer folly (if you ask small network administrators about their experiences with the all-in-one Windows Small Business Server, you’ll likely get some especially harrowing stories). Still, there’s plenty to be said for multipurpose technology, when it’s deployed the right way. Today, a perfect example of this may be found in the variety of on-premises small business VoIP solutions available in the market. From open-source solutions like to rack-mount SBS appliances from companies like Digium and Xorcom, there’s a VoIP system available to suit just about any need, and they all integrate with existing computer data networks. Asterisk Except when they don’t. Or suffer from performance issues. Or when they overload existing internet connections. In truth, adding VoIP capability to an existing small business computer network isn’t really a plug-and-play affair. Some serious capacity planning is needed, and in most cases, some upgrades or reconfiguration of existing hardware. To help any small business network administrators approaching this challenging task, here are 4 essential features of a VoIP-ready business network. No Sub-Gigabit Networks Photo: AVD / Adobe Stock The first essential feature of a VoIP-ready network is speed — and plenty of it. If you’re planning to use your company’s computer network to handle voice and data, it’s going to have to have throughput capacity to spare. In most situations, that means a network built with , gigabit switches, and no hubs if at all possible. Having full-gigabit connections will help to avoid transmission bottlenecks and reduce network latency, which can be a killer for stable VoIP operation. Cat5e or Cat6 cabling PoE Capabilities Photo: KPixMining / Adobe Stock In most situations, VoIP business telephone systems make use of desktop phones that are designed to draw power from their Ethernet connections. That power must be provided by a device known as a power injector which sits inline with each phone or must come from a network switch that includes Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability. For the most part, it’s best to upgrade the network’s switches to support PoE ( , which is a newer and more versatile standard), as it can get complicated to support countless power injectors in a business environment. Having PoE built into network switches makes it possible to remotely manage and troubleshoot power issues with every phone attached to the system, and is a major timesaver for network administrators. or preferably, PoE+ QoS Support Photo: momius / Adobe Stock Even a gigabit network can become overwhelmed from time to time when too much demand comes from a combination of internet activity, file transfers, and VoIP traffic. To make sure that calls don’t drop, experience quality degradation, or fail to connect at all, it’s necessary to implement a Quality of Service (QoS) system that prioritizes VoIP traffic when network demand is high. Most small business-level routers and hardware firewalls will include a QoS feature, that makes it possible to tag VoIP data and prioritize its’ transmission over the business network. The trick is that there’s no universal standard for QoS configuration, so it’s necessary to get to know whatever controls exist on the business’ specific hardware. The overview of the concepts is an excellent place to start. found here A Segmented Network Photo: ArtemSam / Adobe Stock By now, it should be obvious that most of the network requirements for VoIP deployments revolve around making sure that the voice traffic gets to the right destination with no interference from other network traffic. In an ideal environment, it’s best to take this idea a step further and isolate the VoIP connections from the rest of the network entirely. One way to do this is to to create port groups at the switch level. This has the effect of creating a separate and distinct network that’s reserved for voice traffic alone. Of course, this is only possible in environments where no other devices will share physical Ethernet connections with VoIP phones (and small businesses seem to love VoIP phones with built-in Ethernet ports), so your mileage may vary. make use of Virtual LAN (VLAN) technology Putting It All Together Photo: Brian Jackson / Adobe Stock Although the complete list of network requirements for a VoIP deployment will vary depending on the brand, type, and size of the system, any network that features the above four characteristics should be well-positioned to handle any VoIP hardware you can find. With capable infrastructure components in place, there should be no issues with connectivity or call stability, and plenty of room for expansion. Then, the administrator can take the money saved by eliminating a separate voice network over to and pick up a nice, comfortable phone headset to handle the countless support calls that always come after any new technology is put into production. After all, no amount of planning can make up for user error — so you can at least try to make yourself comfortable while you deal with it. headsetplus.com
