Intelsat has completed testing of the operational and data collection system for the first space-based instrument to monitor major air pollutants across the North American continent every daylight hour at high resolution .

The Apache Software Foundation , the all-volunteer developers , stewards and incubators of more than 350 open-source projects and initiatives , has confirmed Apache EventMesh is out of incubation to be a Top-Level Project ( TLP ).

TEMPO ( Tropospheric Emissions : Monitoring of Pollution ) is operated by Intelsat for NASA and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory to create a new dataset of atmospheric chemistry measurements from space .

TEMPO data will play an important role in scientific studies of phenomena such as rush-hour pollution and the movement of emissions from forest fires and volcanoes . Scientists could eventually apply TEMPO observations to air quality alerts for people in pollution hot spots and those living with health issues .

EventMesh is used in event-driven and serverless architectures to simplify event-driven application development in complex distributed systems .

“ We are proud that EventMesh has graduated from the Apache Incubator . We see this is a great milestone for our community and users ,” said Eason Chen , Vice President , Apache EventMesh . “ We believe this achievement will inspire confidence in end-users , contributors and potential contributors alike and help to ensure the continued success and growth of the project in the future .”

Cologix , a leading North American network-neutral interconnection and hyperscale edge data center company , is bringing AWS Outposts to its data centers in Vancouver , Canada .

Customers now can deploy AWS Outposts at Cologix ’ s VAN3 digital edge data center , a 42,000-square-foot facility and the region ’ s largest neutral data center .

Duos Technologies Group , a provider of machine vision and Artificial Intelligence that analyzes fast moving vehicles , has announced its Railcar Inspection Portal ( RIP ) is ready for full-scale deployment across the North American rail network .

The new RIPs are capable of detailed mechanical inspections at speeds of up to 125 mph .

Cologix provides customers secure access to AWS Direct Connect at its VAN2 digital edge data center .

As Vancouver ’ s leading colocation provider , Cologix provides connectivity to more than 20 unique networks and direct access to the primary node for the Vancouver Internet Exchange , hosted in Cologix ’ s VAN1 digital edge data center .

Duos has invested more than US $ 50 million over the past seven years to develop RIP technology , currently installed at 13 sites in the US , Canada and Mexico on freight-dominated routes . The company has conducted over seven million scans on over 500,000 unique railcars in the past 12 months alone and was awarded a major contract last year to scan high-speed passenger trains .
