Keysight helps build a better planet through sustainably-developed electronic measurement solutions that accelerate innovations that change lives, secure the world, and connect people across the globe.

Keysight’s product life cycle employs circular economy principles to support sustainability while helping customers protect their innovation investment through maintenance, repair, refurbishing, and recycling. When used by customers, Keysight’s leading-edge design, emulation, and test solutions help drive innovations that build a better planet in areas such as clean technology, social impact and wellness, and safety and security.

Clean tech innovation 

Disruptive innovations in automotive electromobility, renewable energy, and the Internet of Things (IoT) that enable smart cities, homes, and agriculture are key to bringing breakthroughs in environmental sustainability. These technologies reduce global reliance on carbon-heavy fuels, enable better natural resource management, and support quality monitoring of soil, water, and air as infrastructures become more connected. But the increased reliance on power stretches electric grids to capacity, driving the need for better battery management, and requiring development, evaluation and optimization of state-of the-art networks and technologies.

Keysight empowers the clean tech revolution by providing solutions for automotive, energy, networking, communications, and IoT companies to design, test, manufacture, and monitor their next generation, environmentally sustainable product and service offerings.

For example, Keysight’s comprehensive regenerative power supply portfolio and innovative battery emulators are widely used to develop new energy storage systems and charging solutions for the electromobility ecosystem, aligning with decarbonization goals.

In FY 2023, Keysight made numerous contributions to sustainability in this space, including introducing new automated solutions that enable device and chipset manufacturers to accurately assess and optimize energy efficiency. In addition, Keysight collaborated with Analog Devices, Vodaphone, Intel, FlexRan, Wind River, and Dell Technologies to accelerate the adoption of network energy savings development and testing.1 Since the radio access network (RAN) consumes 70% to 80%2 of the wireless industry’s total energy, network energy savings (NES) modes are an important area of ongoing standardization within the Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) community.

Social impact and wellness 

Technology provides a gateway to community prosperity. Smart cities enable optimized community services; smart agriculture helps minimize hunger; wearables and healthcare devices promote wellbeing; mission-critical communications ensure first-responders stay connected in crises; and technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and automation enable a diverse workforce to flourish. Quality, interoperability, and high performance are critical in delivering prosperity through technology, while educating next-generation technologists is crucial to ensuring future skillsets can meet tomorrow’s challenges.

Keysight supports social impact and wellness by providing solutions that test and validate designs, simulate and measure real-world conditions, and monitor infrastructure deployments. The company also provides equipment, software, and resources to prepare tomorrow’s engineers for the next technological revolution.

For example, Keysight’s Electronic Design Automation (EDA) 2024 software suite, powered by the company’s proprietary measurement science, seamlessly integrates with intellectual property and design data management to provide engineers with a comprehensive solution that accelerates virtual prototype creation. It offers highly accurate validation prior to building physical prototypes and initiating volume production manufacturing.

Safety and security

Faster, more reliable communications, connected devices, and AI technologies support emerging innovations across multiple applications, including crisis management, community security, healthcare, next-generation aeronautics, autonomous vehicles, and smart devices. Such applications connect and secure global communities by providing the technology needed to address privacy rights and safety threats quickly and efficiently. The ubiquitous use of networked data, devices, and AI technologies for these purposes, however, also opens the door to vulnerabilities that can result in new, unintended safety issues and privacy implications.

Keysight solutions test performance, validate security, and monitor deployments of such technologies in real-time. This enables our customers to find and fix vulnerabilities before they impact operations, thereby supporting enduser safety, security, and privacy as applications are scaled to connect and secure the world.

In FY 2023 for example, as an innovator in IoT, 6G, and other new technologies, Keysight joined a select group of industry leaders at the US White House for the launch of the Cyber Trust Mark program, a new cybersecurity labeling initiative for consumer IoT devices. Keysight’s Communications Solutions Group’s (CSG) Wireline Network Test leaders Ram Periakaruppan, vice president and general manager, and Scott Register, vice president of security solutions, were joined by industry leaders from Amazon, Best Buy, Cisco Systems, Google, Qualcomm, LG, Samsung, and others.3

In addition, governmental regulatory agencies used Keysight solutions to assist in other safety and security efforts. For example, US government regulatory agencies relied on Keysight’s mobile FieldFox handheld analyzers to ensure 5G cell towers near airports do not interfere with aviation safety. A Canadian regulatory agency selected Keysight’s FieldFox electromagnetic field measurement solution for its RF exposure safety test, Safety Code 6, to ensure devices comply with the recommended safety limits for human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields.

Elanco recently announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its comprehensive, multi-year review of Bovaer® (3-NOP), a first-in-class methane-reducing feed ingredient, and determined the product meets safety and efficacy requirements for use in lactating dairy cattle.

Bovaer® (3-NOP) is a feed ingredient that suppresses an enzyme in the cow’s rumen that forms methane. As it acts, Bovaer is safely broken down into compounds already naturally present in the rumen, proving that it is safe for the animals, producers and consumers and has been shown to consistently reduce enteric methane emissions in lactating dairy cows about 30%.(1)

MIAMI, July 17, 2024 /3BL/ – Small-business owners in South Florida have an incredible opportunity to grow their companies by applying for a tuition-free business development program Regions Bank is bringing to Miami for the first time in the program’s history.

Qualified businesses that apply and are accepted into the program do not have to be Regions Bank customers. The main qualifier is they need to be growth-oriented companies looking to build long-term success with a workable business plan. The program is specifically designed for entrepreneurs with a presence in or near urban or economically underserved areas.

This program gives more entrepreneurs the resources and tools to be successful and connects local small businesses with national experts on company growth.

Chris Cruzpino, Miami-Dade market executive for Regions Bank

The program is called Inner City Capital Connections, or ICCC. ICCC provides top-tier business training from nationally recognized experts, along with customized business coaching, marketing assistance, follow-up digital training, and more. ICCC is part of the nonprofit Initiative for a Competitive Inner City, which was founded by Harvard Business School Professor Dr. Michael Porter to strengthen communities through education and private-sector investment.

“This program gives more entrepreneurs the resources and tools to be successful and connects local small businesses with national experts on company growth,” said Chris Cruzpino, Miami-Dade market executive for Regions Bank. “That’s why Regions is bringing ICCC to Miami as part of our commitment to create more inclusive prosperity. When these businesses flourish, so does our community.”

A “mini-MBA in a day,” as organizers call it, ICCC makes executive-level business education available to local entrepreneurs who often would not have the time or resources to receive such training in a traditional education setting. Instructors at ICCC events throughout the program’s history have included professors from institutions ranging from Harvard University to Dartmouth, New York University, and more. Training is customized to meet the needs of businesses that are accepted into the program, and it is delivered in a manner that minimizes the time investment business owners need to make – while maximizing results:

Since ICCC’s inception in 2005, more than 5,800 businesses have participated in the program in cities across the country.Those businesses have since raised over $2.4 billion in capital.Further, they’ve created over 26,000 jobs, according to ICCC.

“ICCC has a proven record of empowering and uplifting diverse entrepreneurs. The teachings help build a more sustainable small-business ecosystem and support further prosperity for more people and communities in South Florida,” said ICCC Director Diego Portillo Mazal. “Regions Bank is one of our most valuable community partners. Together, we hope to make this bigger than a one-day event; it is about building connections and even mentorships that often lead to long-term coaching and support.”

Financial support from Regions Bank and co-sponsors is what makes ICCC tuition free for qualified companies that are accepted into the training opportunity.

Business owners can learn more about ICCC and the program’s qualifications at this link. Those who would like to participate can access the online application for the Miami program here. ICCC will review applications and connect with qualified companies to discuss next steps.

ICCC will culminate locally with an intense, all-day business education and coaching session scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 8. This is not just an average seminar. As this video from a Regions-sponsored ICCC program in Indianapolis shows, ICCC is an action-packed program filled with aha moments and key takeaways for entrepreneurs.

The application deadline is Sept. 13, though space is limited, and available slots could be filled before then.

“ICCC is a can’t-miss event for business owners who are looking for help on how to see their company grow,” said Cruzpino. “We encourage interested entrepreneurs to apply early before space runs out.”

For many individuals and families, homeownership is the key to building household wealth that can be passed down to future generations. That’s why creating equitable access to homeownership programs is a cornerstone of the U.S. Bank Foundation* Opportunity Fund**, which aims to increase wealth-building opportunities for low- to moderate-income (LMI) communities, including communities of color.

The foundation recently distributed nearly $3.5 million in Opportunity Fund grants to nonprofit organizations working to increase the availability of and access to homeownership. The first round of funding also included $4 million to organizations focused on affordable housing development.

“Safe and stable housing helps children, families and communities thrive, and supporting organizations that help create pathways to homeownership for more people is an investment that will benefit generations to come,” said Erica Opstad, managing director of the U.S. Bank Foundation.

That support extends to organizations like Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago (NHS), which serves more than 6,000 households annually to support homeownership and create thriving neighborhoods by providing homebuyer counseling and education programs, lending and real estate development services in LMI communities. The nonprofit was founded in 1975 to address redlining practices that impacted many Chicago neighborhoods, bringing together banks, regulators, residents and city officials to seek collaborative solutions to neighborhood disinvestment. Since then, NHS has helped more than 7,500 families buy a home, which has helped generate more than $1 billion in sustainable financial assets for its clients, who are largely members of communities of color.

“The needs of the community are constantly changing, but the heart of what we do has not changed. Since our inception 50 years ago, NHS has remained committed to the ideals of social justice and the liberating impacts of homeownership,” said President and CEO Anthony Simpkins.

“Safe and stable housing helps children, families and communities thrive, and supporting organizations that help create pathways to homeownership for more people is an investment that will benefit generations to come.”

– Erica Opstad, managing director of the U.S. Bank Foundation

In recent years, high interest rates and construction costs have contributed to putting homeownership further out of reach for many people in Chicago, Simpkins noted, with prices for single-unit and multi-unit buildings increasing dramatically in the past 20 years. NHS will leverage the Opportunity Fund grant to provide down payment and closing cost assistance to working families so they can become homeowners.

“Down payment and closing cost assistance is often the critical factor for leveling the playing field and getting people into homes. The Opportunity Fund grant enhances our lending and education services by providing this critical resource for clients across Chicago’s South and West sides,” Simpkins said.

U.S. Bank and the U.S. Bank Foundation have worked with NHS over many years, providing Community Possible charitable grants, corporate contributions and volunteerism. That includes supporting NHS’ comprehensive housing counseling program, which ranges from helping individuals and families start their homeownership journey to post-purchase counseling and foreclosure prevention.

“NHS is always trying to be innovative and expand opportunities to bridge generational wealth gaps,” said JeNyce Boolton, a U.S Bank community affairs manager based in Chicago who sits on an NHS committee. “Our support reaffirms the bank’s commitment to affordable housing.”

*U.S. Bank Foundation is a tax-exempt private foundation described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation is funded primarily through contributions from U.S. Bank National Association and its affiliates and subsidiaries. The Foundation’s mission is to close the gaps between people and possibility in the areas of work, home, and play.

** The Opportunity Fund represents a financial commitment of the U.S. Bank Foundation; it is not a traditional equity fund, nor does it represent a form of ownership.

CAMDEN, N.J., July 17, 2024 /3BL/ – In a commitment to furthering its partnership with Cooper University Health Care and bolstering essential services for the Camden community, Subaru of America, Inc., has announced its continued support of $30,000 for durable medical equipment and transportation services to continue to fuel Cooper’s mission. This donation, part of the Subaru Loves to Care® initiative, aims to provide access to vital medical equipment to Camden City residents.

The funds are designated for durable medical equipment, including blood pressure monitors, glucometers, scales, wheelchairs, walkers, and canes to help patients manage their chronic health conditions at home and prevent the need for emergency department visits or hospitalizations. The funds will also provide hundreds of Camden residents with roundtrip transportation to assure patients who do not have medical transport get to their appointments safely on time to Cooper facilities.

“We are most grateful to our Camden neighbor, Subaru, for their support of Cooper over the years. We look forward to our continued partnership as we work together to be a positive force in Camden’s growth and prosperity,” said Anthony J. Mazzarelli, MD, JD, MBE, co-CEO of Cooper.

“This generous contribution by Subaru to Cooper’s community programs demonstrates our shared commitment to addressing health care disparities and making a tangible transformation in the lives and health of patients living in Camden,” said Kevin M. O’Dowd, JD, co-CEO of Cooper.

“Being able to assist in Cooper’s dedicated efforts to helping our Camden community get and stay healthy is exactly what Subaru Loves to Care is all about,” said Erica McLeod, corporate social responsibility manager, Subaru of America, Inc. “Too many neighbors with chronic health conditions can experience unexpected out-of-pocket costs associated with medical treatments, and this funding should alleviate some of the burdens on our community members most in need.”

The Subaru Loves to Care initiative is the health-focused philanthropic pillar of the Subaru Love Promise. Cooper has been the recipient of numerous charitable donations from Subaru over the years. The automaker has previously donated four vehicles to the Cooper EMS program, provided funding to the Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper and contributed to The Cooper Foundation’s Pink Roses Teal Magnolias event for women’s cancer.

“Without corporate partners such as Subaru in our community, we could not do what we do at Cooper,” said Lisa Morina, senior vice president and chief philanthropy officer at The Cooper Foundation. “We are most grateful for the ongoing collaboration between our two organizations to help make a meaningful impact in the lives of our Cooper patients and the communities we serve.”

The donations to Cooper are part of Subaru Loves to Care, the health-focused philanthropic pillar of the automaker’s Love Promise vision to show love and respect to all people at every interaction with Subaru. To learn more about Subaru Loves to Care, please visit subaru.com/care.
