The company's technology enables faster and better recovery of tissues and body structures, and therefore IME is uniquely positioned to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients." About Medical Electrospinning Applying specific polymers, IME's advanced equipment creates fiber-based medical device solutions that mimic the natural human extracellular matrix in nanometer and micrometer format for implants and membranes in the human body. Human cells recognize these artificial matrices (scaffolds) as the body's own, facilitating the repair of the damaged tissue for heart valves, blood vessels, nerves, tendons, skin and bone etc. This is in contrast to implants and membranes of traditional structures, which are seen as foreign and therefore can lead to scar tissue or rejection phenomena. The MediSpin™XL platform has been developed specifically for MedTech industrial manufacturing of medical devices and is now also suitable for pharmaceutical drug delivery applications and ensures firm control over the crucial parameters of the electrospinning process, leading to reproducible and consistent end-products. About IME Medical Electrospinning For over ten years, IME Medical Electrospinning has been a leading player in the field of developing and implementing electrospinning processes and equipment for the manufacturing of medical devices for (regenerative) medicine and drug delivery. Electrospinning is a flexible process for producing extremely thin fibers and structures that have excellent properties to help regenerate human tissue. IME Medical Electrospinning has developed a unique set of innovations in electrospinning technology for reproducible and scalable production of electrospun material under tightly controlled conditions required for the MedTech and Pharma market. Customers and scientific partners include the MedTech and Pharma industry, scientists and health institutions. More info is available at www.ime-electrospinning.com

RED Technologies launches TVWS database service in Canada

PARIS, April 1 : RED Technologies, the company developing and operating dynamic spectrum sharing solutions in the US and UK, announces today the launch of its TV White Space (TVWS) Database Administrator. This follows RED's approval by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) as a TVWS Database administrator for Canada early April, after an extensive certification process. TV white space refers to the unused frequencies allocated for broadcast at a given time in a given geographical area. It can be used to deliver innovative wireless services with applications, especially the provision of broadband connectivity to rural communities. Michael Abitbol, COO of RED, said: "For rural communities struggling to get online where traditional broadband can't reach, TVWS can be life-changing, moreover in the current pandemic context rushing people, educational systems and companies to go online. Opportunities also exist for utilities and remote access sites to use TVWS technology to get broadband connectivity. We have been conducting successful interoperability tests with multiple equipment vendors including 6Harmonics, Redline and Radwin, and their clients. We will see the first wireless internet service providers' TVWS commercial rollouts in Canada as early as this month." Pierre-Jean Muller, CEO, RED, said: "ISED's approval and our launch in Canada demonstrate again RED Technologies' capacity to develop and deploy complex dynamic spectrum sharing solutions internationally. We are glad to see that ISED just launched a new public consultation to further extend TVWS availability in Canada. We will immediately update our platform to meet the requirements of ISED's next set of rules as soon as they will be published, hence offering maximum opportunities to people, businesses and WISPs willing to benefit from this technology."
