In addition, the product engineering and systems integration company has an established presence in AI ML, IoT, cloud, MEC, custom software development, software testing, and data annotation & labeling domains.

Here are excerpts from an exclusive interview with Anuradha where she talks about Amantya, its driving force, core competencies, and future plans. · Tell us about Amantya Technologies. What was the defining factor that inspired you to become an entrepreneur?

Amantya Technologies, Inc. is a product engineering and systems integration company with sales and engineering centers in the USA and India. Wireless (4G/5G), IoT, AI ML, Cloud, MEC, V2X, and Robotics form our core areas of expertise, and we provide a complete suite of solutions in these domains. As a product engineering company, Amantya has proven mettle in development and integration across hardware, firmware, and embedded applications, ably partnered by ODM/SOC vendors to support any device manufacturing requirements.

Our specialized 5G based solutions and services portfolio span RAN, Core, Management & Orchestration to simplify functions across hybrid and multivendor environments. We leverage our unique in-house Accelerators (software modules that can be integrated into customer solutions), coupled with partner solutions, an agile delivery process, and deep domain expertise to address client-specific needs efficiently and effectively, with a commitment to quality and a reduced time-to-market.

Amantya Technologies was born so that I could work the job of my dreams, and it has led me to build a team whose passion resonates with mine. Exploring new technologies and doing work that changes the world is something that drives me daily. With many years of corporate experience in global MNCs, I have garnered practical skills to do disparate work, integrate with different types of teams, and manage relationships with customers across the globe.

During my corporate tenure, irrespective of whom I worked for, I always felt empowered when I solved the problems and implemented new ideas. However, with time, investing all that energy to fulfill someone else's dreams felt like pouring it into a void. I had enough confidence to break out on my

own, and the timing was right. So, I decided to channelize my energy to fuel my own goals and dreams. In 2018, I laid the foundation of my think tank, focused on niche technologies and cutting-edge solutions development - Amantya Technologies, Inc. · What has been your biggest challenge and learning from growing the company?

Driving change is not easy and takes consistent efforts to build trust with employees, partners, and customers. Added to that, it's an entirely different and complex ballgame if you are a new kid on the block. As a start-up, you have to adapt hard and fast.

Many things have to be done from scratch - setting up teams, scouting for opportunities and new projects, sharing new ideas, building credibility. Depending on how you look at it, some may think these are challenges. I saw them as opportunities to turn my vision and capabilities into reality and create an entity that stays relevant and distinct in this competitive world.

My biggest takeaway and learning while growing Amantya would be to keep moving up the value chain and not become complacent and stagnate. Continue to evolve with the changing market conditions. One must leverage the benefits of open innovation, as these will help organizations keep pace with change and stay on top of their game. Covid-19 would be the perfect case in point that reiterates that the business models that worked earlier may not work anymore, and the need to periodically review, adapt, reconfigure, and build contingency plans. · Tell us about Amantya's flagship products and solutions.

survive, all businesses must focus on becoming more tech-savvy and explore new ways to provide innovative, relevant, and hybrid solutions.

The future is digital, and I firmly believe that enterprises must use this disruption as an opportunity to adapt and transform with technology. With unprecedented capabilities and opportunities being unlocked by technology, the question no longer is whether we should embrace next-gen technologies like 5G, IoT, AI/ML, Cloud, etc. The more relevant question here is, can we afford not to? · The future lies in the hands of wireless technology. How do you envision the development of 5G? Will it hugely transform our lives? Any vital innovation being rolled out by Amantya Technologies to foster the growth of 5G? 5G isn't just the next generation of mobile communications. It's a complete ecosystem that is evolving holistically, transforming all industry verticals. In my view, forging new alliances and collaborating to build and scale technological competencies is the way forward to stay relevant in this disruptive and fastevolving landscape.

A few trends that symbolize 5G are: Open and digitized networks will break vendor lock-in and promote interoperability Disaggregation will offer higher flexibility by enabling operators to build networks on-the- go-like model by aligning with multiple vendors instead of relying on one big vendor for end-to-end solutions They might not work every time, but that doesn't deter us from our vision of contributing to the advancement of the technological landscape.

Amantians will continue to push the needle on technological advancements, practicing, imbibing, and honing them at a faster rate to meet client expectations, and enhance customer ROI. · The global epidemic has highlighted the need for modern technology, how a business ignoring the adoption of 5G, IoT, AI ML Cloud, etc., might be holding back its growth.

Your views.

Technology was never a barrier, but the human psyche was.

We either plan the change, or it's thrust upon us. Covid-19 has been that game-changer across industries, countries, and economies. In the current era, organizations have witnessed more digital transformation than ever before. Business strategies are being reimagined, realigned, and rewritten as new technologies emerge and customer expectations evolve, as a domino effect of the pandemic. To thrive and not simply

An increasing focus on virtualization to run network components as software components on generic hardware Future RAN will be more cognitive and intelligent, allowing for greater responsiveness and higher capacity Amantya has a slew of differentiated hardware and software solutions for 5G. Indigenously developed, they are market-ready or in various stages of build-out. I already spoke about the key offerings of our 5G portfolio and how it adds value to our customers. We are also enhancing and deploying some of our existing solutions for different verticals and use cases.

professional services in integration, stack porting, and testing, help build end-to-end RAN solutions for customers in the enterprise segment, primarily for private network deployments. These, coupled with our core network, place us uniquely to offer building blocks for enterprise private network deployments. · What is it like being a woman leader in a tech company? Your thoughts as global companies move towards gender equality.

Being a woman leader in a tech company in some ways is no different from being one in any other domain. I did not deliberate my career path to reach the position of CEO. It was never about becoming a manager, chief, or boss. Rather, it was about building knowledge and capability, which I have gained and also shared. Having spent more than two decades in technology, innovation, and engineered solutions, I have created a credible brand with sheer passion and determination.

Women in tech are making a lot of news and disrupting many age-old role models. They are coming together boldly to shape the future, bringing positive changes not only in their lives but also in their communities, societies, and the world as well. Being a part of this energetic, progressive, and driven tribe has seen me strategically coach myself, also groom and guide capabilities within the company. Be agile, creative, and take calculated risks. Also, make sure we ride innovation to serve customers and put Amantya on the map as a trusted and distinct player for the services and solutions we offer.

As organizations are striving to become global, digital, and transparent, they cannot overlook diversity, inclusion, and gender equality as these help them become more efficient,

innovative, and productive. We (organizations and women leaders) must create an environment that encourages and fosters progressive conversations on gender equality and the importance of cultivating diversity within an organization to drive growth. It is not only a goal but a business imperative.

Encouraging gender equality is vital for any country's economic growth as it has a direct impact on job creation, improving per capita income, and drive better outcomes at the community level. Women in leading positions give hope and set a momentum for others to follow. · How are you shaping the workplace and company culture at Amantya?

We are one team. When it comes to Amantya's most valued asset, it is Amantians and our valued customers. Amantya features a strong culture of innovation, collaboration, and a sense of ownership. Employee talent and efficiency determine the pace and growth of an organization. To enable that, we foster an environment of constant stimulation, encouraging and providing our team with opportunities to build and hone their capabilities.

working hours and rewarding top performers as part of HR initiatives.

We have recently rolled out Amantya's yearly ESOP, an inclusive option plan to ensure that selected employees at all levels are recognized for their contributions and made active stakeholders in the growth and success of the company. I am proud of the team we have built and confident, that irrespective of any challenges, they will perform brilliantly and always rise to the occasion. · What are the key achievements of your business journey?

PROS AND CONS OF GPS TRACKING FOR BUSINESSES

www.theenterpriseworld.com

25

S

Furthermore, a GPS device often runs independently of communications infrastructures, which don't utilize wireless communication data.

As a result, many companies have started purchasing a GPS tracker for sales reps to nurture their business growth.

On the other hand, Telecommunications systems may enhance geolocation, time information, and GPS tracking positioning.

Moreover, another critical benefit of GPS is that it's completely free.

ales management and operations used to be one of the most challenging duties in the company, but breakthrough mobile sales apps have made them more accessible.

But of course, no software is exempted from having its limitations. So for this article, we've listed down the pros and cons of GPS tracking, starting with: Pro: Worldwide accessibility

Apart from the fact that an enabled device doesn't use wireless communication data from telecommunication service providers, the comprehensive technology is free of charge and doesn't need any license or subscription.

It's worth mentioning that GPS services are provided across the globe by 24 to 32 satellites in medium Earth orbit.

Con: Accuracy concerns

These satellites orbit the Earth to ensure complete coverage of diverse locations.

Although multiple satellites circle the Earth to provide accuracy via comprehensive global coverage, interferences may pose substantial issues.

Furthermore, having many satellites circling on different tracks and at various times improves geolocation accuracy even further.

It should be noted that the troposphere and ionosphere may both slow down signal transmission. Electromagnetic and weather interference may also have an impact on data transmission.

Specialized GPS or GPS technology services are available globally through an enabled device due to the worldwide coverage of GPS tracking satellites.

Certain geological features may also hinder communication between receivers and GPS satellites or GPS-enabled devices.

Since it's accessible, the global positioning system has become a dual-use technology that helps the United States' non-military and military stakeholders worldwide.

Since signals can't pass through solid things, high-rise buildings may hamper communication in cities. Or even limited areas like woods, mountains, and caverns.

Con: Privacy issues

Obstructions might result in incorrect geolocation data or coordinates.

Stalking activities may include the use of GPS tracking equipment.

For example, an accidentally implanted gadget in a person's automobile may link with a complimentary device that allows a user to follow the person's movements discreetly.

Illicit uses may be possible using this technology because these gadgets are widely accessible on the market.

When used in conjunction with Internet applications such as mobile apps or social media, GPS may efficiently monitor and record a user's position.

This allows businesses to leverage information and geolocation data for commercial reasons such as geotargeted advertising.

Pro: Improved productivity rate Since GPS technology is accessible, it has been used for several purposes and applications.

It should be noted that the technology has been employed for commercial purposes and military applications.

Different companies and sectors have benefited from refining customer service, tracking important assets using GPS localization, and monitoring staff to boost efficiency.

Con: Battery-dependent

Pro: Independent operation

A GPS tracking enabled gadget depletes the battery's power.

GPS chips use a lot of electricity. For example, when a smartphone's global positioning system function is operating in the background.

One of the main advantages of GPS is that it does not need users to submit data from their devices.

Or, when geolocation-dependent apps are used, the pace of battery depletion might increase.

26

February 2022

Also, keep in mind that one of GPS's significant limitations is that the gadget is rendered worthless once the battery power goes out.

These gadgets are only as helpful as their battery capacity allows them to be. As a result, these gadgets must have power management functions and a larger battery capacity.

Outlook – GPS Tracking It's essential to assess the downsides and advantages of adopting these fleet monitoring systems.

The main downside is that employees despise them, and you should look for better methods to encourage them to embrace it.

These devices will cost you money, and if employees tamper with them or increase staff turnover, it will be squandered. As a consequence, carefully consider your options.

here are so many things you can do online. On the internet, you can purchase groceries, buy clothes, shop for a gift, or pay your bills. However, despite the conveniences that the internet offers, online transactions come with risks and dangers.

Tips For Convenient And Safe Online Transactions As more people shift to virtual activities, cybercrime cases also increase. If you want to avoid the dangers of online transactions and prevent becoming a victim of cybercrimes, you should continue reading this blog. Check out the following tips for safe online transactions and apply them when you make an online purchase or payment: 1. Create Complicated Passwords And Change Them Regularly It's bad practice to use passwords that are easy to guess.

Having an easy-to-guess password equates to telling the whole world that you want to get hacked.

3. Be Mindful Of Phishing Emails Phishing emails are messages that contain links or scripts that can capture your online credentials or lure you to provide them. Normally, top email providers have filters and algorithms that can detect and segregate them from regular emails. However, if you're not using the service of those providers—say that you receive email through your company's mail server—you might accidentally open a phishing email and become a victim.

Fortunately, you can verify any email's authenticity in a couple of ways. Senders of this type of email usually scare recipients with warnings and instruct them to click on a link. Before you click on the link, hover your mouse cursor on the link first or press and hold if you're using a touch screen device. After doing that, inspect the address or URL of the link. If you're unfamiliar with the address and the email sounds fishy, then it's best for you to ignore it and send it to your SPAM folder for Safe Online Transactions.

Remember, passwords are intended to keep your accounts and sensitive information highly secured. When creating a password, use a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters, digits, and symbols. Also, make sure to change them regularly. Doing so will lower the risk of your online accounts being accessed and stolen. And if you have a lot of passwords and online accounts, consider getting a password manager app or program for Safe Online Transactions.

Another thing that you should note is that phishers write their emails badly. If you spot grammar mistakes or if the writer of the email seems to have a poor command of the language, be wary of it. Also, some phishing emails try to imitate actual messages from real companies. Try to do your research and compare real emails to spot the fake ones for Safe Online Transactions.

Here's another thing that you should remember: using one password across several different sites and accounts is a major risk. All your accounts can become compromised in a flash if you only use a single password. If one of the sites where you have an account got hacked and your account's password there becomes public, anyone will then have easy access to all of your other online accounts.

If you're not familiar with a website, don't transact with it.

And if you want to risk doing business with an unknown ecommerce company, only proceed if it only uses known, reputable, and secure payment portals.

2. Utilize Electronic Signatures Nowadays, most tech-savvy entrepreneurs rely on electronic signatures, also known as e-signature and online signature, to manage their transactions. E-signatures is as legally valid as handwritten signatures as long as it's used according to regulations from recognized governing bodies (e.g., NIST-DDS, eIDAS, et cetera).

Using e-signatures make transactions convenient as you can approve contracts and complete forms as long as you have your internet-enabled device. Its convenience eliminates the need to meet in person or print to sign documents for Safe Online Transactions.

36

February 2022

4. Only Transact With Reputable Sites

Don't fall victim to trusting a site right away, especially if you're treading the deep or dark web. Do your research and read reviews as well for Safe Online Transactions. Even if some sites are highly reputable, some of them are not invulnerable to data breaches and leaks.

5. Have Trustworthy Security Software To Protect You Remember that any data you store on your computer or online will be always at risk of theft and hacking. Because of that, it's always advisable to be cautious and wellequipped with trustworthy security software. Also, when browsing the internet in public, only connect to a secure and encrypted wireless network, and don't even plan on doing transactions for Safe Online Transactions.

Conclusion These are just a few of the things you need to do to ensure convenient and Safe Online Transactions on the web.

Hopefully, you can put them to good use to avoid getting your personal information stolen or leaked.
