A Complete Guide to Selecting Reliable Fiber Internet Provider

Many people today are looking into fiber internet. They love the fast upload and download speeds and low latency. Multiple companies currently offer this service, so knowing which provider to choose can be challenging. What features should a person look for when comparing providers? 

Speed

ISPs that offer fiber internet allow consumers to choose from different speeds. Consumers should know what speed is best for their usage. A single person only wishing to run a few devices will find 500 Mbps ideal. Multiple individuals using the same connection while running several devices simultaneously need 1 or 2 gigabits. Choosing a provider offering 2 gigabits is best because it will be necessary as technology advances. 

One thing many people overlook when considering the number of devices they run is items that aren’t readily apparent when looking at the internet connection. People look at their phones, laptops, tablets, printers, and smart TVs. They overlook the smart home devices that allow their residences to function. These devices range from smart plugs to smart major appliances. All benefit from the internet connection and influence the internet speed needed. 

Price and Promotions

People might assume they must bundle services to get the best prices. In the past, this was often true. However, ISPs recognize they are losing business because consumers might not want phone or TV service. Standalone internet service is available, and consumers must shop around to find the right deal for their needs. To save money when purchasing a standalone service, ask about discounts and promotions that may help save money. 

Avoid Data Caps

ISPs often impose data caps. When a customer exceeds this amount, the provider charges for any extra data used. Choosing an unlimited plan ensures data is always available when needed, and the customer knows how much they will pay for the service each month. 

Smart Installations

When having fiber internet installed, request a Wi-Fi signal strength test. This test helps identify dead spots in the home so extenders or mesh Wi-Fi can be installed. A gig-speed installation may also be requested. 

Tech Support

Nobody wants to have issues with their internet. When problems arise, they want help immediately. Look for a company with robust tech support to resolve matters quickly and efficiently. Many providers today offer automated troubleshooting with the option of speaking to a live person if the automated system isn’t of help. Having multiple options makes it easy to get help when needed. 

Consider Additional Services

Internet service providers often offer additional services to enhance the user experience. They may offer apps that provide password and device protection or identity monitoring. Cloud storage remains popular with many internet users today, and the ISP might offer this storage at a discounted price for its customers. Having one provider for multiple services is beneficial, as the customer only has one place to turn when they need help with their account. 

Updated Equipment 

Look for a provider with the latest equipment. Technology advances at an astounding rate, so choosing a provider whose fiber footprint is expanding is best. They need state-of-the-art service to keep up with these changes. 

Once a fiber internet provider is selected, it’s time to focus on the home network. Consider upgrading devices to benefit the most from the new network. When you see how excellent this internet service is, you’ll want to do more online.

Detection Technology launches high-resolution and high-speed TDI-cameras to enhance in-line battery inspection

Detection Technology, a global leader in X-ray detector solutions, is broadening its LDA (linear detector array) offering that is based on TDI (time delay integration) technology to enhance in-line battery inspection. The company has launched X-Scan T02 cameras, which come with unique high-resolution, high-speed CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor design and upgraded front- and back-end electronics to maximize the benefits of industrial inspection to its fullest.

”The X-Scan T02 series combines the advantages of X-ray flat panel detectors (FPD) and line scanners. It features superior image quality as FPDs, and fast scanning speeds associated with LDAs. Very high resolution and high speed make it an ideal solution for in-line industrial inspection that values the most accurate detection of the smallest quality issues, fast product throughputs, and maximized production line up-times,” says Tomi Fält, Director, Product Management, at Detection Technology.

X-Scan T02 is a perfect match for the inspection of different types of battery cells and battery modules at different stages of manufacturing processes. It is designed and optimized for battery inspection of electric vehicles to cover all types of battery cells such as cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch cells with Li-Ion and other commonly used battery chemistries. TDI-boosted line-scan modality enables the rapid and accurate inspection of placement and alignment of laminated electrode layers and other critical features without imaging distortion or projection errors.

Furthermore, the X-Scan T02 series is fitted for quality inspection of applications where very high spatial resolution is critical. Examples of such applications are high-value automotive, aerospace, and electronic components, parts and assemblies, and food and pharmaceutical goods.

The X-Scan T02 features a CMOS sensor with a 50 µm pixel size to enable high sensitivity and spatial resolution with low X-ray doses. Typically, spatial resolution that is dependent on magnification measures a few micrometers. Furthermore, X-Scan T02 enables fast scanning speeds of up to 20–30 kHz line rates. Depending on the cell size, this means 1–1.5 m/s object movement or 1,000–2,500 parts-per-minute speed with TDI-processed native image data resolution.

The series is equipped with smart features and configuration options, which enable object movement to be further sped up, or to multiply parts-per-minute inspection rates in the process. Such features and options include digital TDI operating modality, bidirectional scanning operation, defect pixel mapping and correction functionality, region of interest configuration, programmable ROI mode, and flexible pixel binning options.

“We are particularly proud that the X-Scan T02 comes with the 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface and is compatible with the GigE Vision Protocol. This enables robust, reliable, and fast communication between the detector and X-ray systems, and supports third-party software platforms without the need to have a specific image grabber hardware on the system computer.”

The series operates in the energy range of 20–200 kV to cover different X-ray imaging applications. Its industry-standard mechanics support easy system integration and upgrades. The product family has active area length options of 200 and 400 mm and a compact size. In addition, its high resolution enables the system configurations to be shrunk even further as there is less need for high magnification.

The product family has the highest level of integration and a simplified system design. This delivers digitally enhanced image quality, total cost savings, minimized risks, longer lifetimes, and maximized up-times to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and system integrators. Furthermore, the series is equipped with state-of-the-art radiation hardness.

The X-Scan T02 camera family will be available to order by the end of 2023 and deliveries will start in 2024. For speeding up design and system integration, world-class engineering support and a customer evaluation unit are available. The company will showcase the benefits and the key features of X-Scan T02 at Control, the international trade fair for quality assurance, in Stuttgart, Germany on 9–12 May 2023.
