PARIS and TOKYO, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At today’s Wireless Global Congress (WGC) APAC 2026, Airties, a global leader of AI-driven software that improves the connectivity experience for ISPs’ subscribers, today announced findings from a newly commissioned consumer survey, independently conducted by Qualtrics, of more than 1,000 Japanese households*. The survey revealed a potential churn crisis for home ISPs in Japan: approximately one-quarter of households are considering switching providers in the near future, with quality of service being a decisive factor. Similar research, disclosed last month**, found that roughly one-third of consumers across the US and UK are considering switching ISPs in the near future. Even though the likelihood of churn is lower in Japan, it demonstrates the scale of churn risk within the country. Notably, the survey also found that up to 60% of potential churn in Japan could be avoided by investing in better quality, features, and customer support, independent of pricing.

“Many Japanese households are silently suffering with real connectivity frustrations, and a stunning quarter of them are considering leaving their current Internet service provider in the near future,” said John Lancaster-Lennox, Executive Vice President and General Manager Asia Pacific at Airties. “Our research shows that Japanese consumers want ISPs to take more responsibility for the quality of their home Wi-Fi experience, and to provide a smarter managed service with advanced features that guarantee performance across apps and devices. Airties’ AI-driven connectivity software was designed to meet these expectations, provide better customer support, proactively mitigate churn risks, and improve customer satisfaction.”

Looming Risk for Japanese ISPs:

• 8% of Japanese respondents said they changed their home ISP in the past 12 months, compared to 18% in the US and 24% in the UK.
• Only 21% of Japanese consumers said they are very satisfied with their current home Internet experience.
• 51% of Japanese consumers said they currently experience noticeable Wi-Fi or Internet problems occasionally, but only 18% of respondents said they contacted their home ISP in the past 12 months because of a home Wi-Fi or Internet problem, which highlights a large segment of customers who endure issues silently.
• Looking ahead, despite the fact that 81% think that changing their home ISP would be a hassle, 24% of Japanese consumers said they are considering changing their home ISP in the near future. This compares to 28% of consumers in the US and 37% in the UK who are considering switching in the near future.
• Very dissatisfied consumers are 5 times far more likely to churn than very satisfied consumers: 61% of respondents who are currently very dissatisfied with their ISPs are considering switching ISPs in the near future compared to 12% of very satisfied customers who are considering switching ISPs in the near future.

Quality vs Price:

• Findings show that up to 60% of potential churn in Japan could be avoided by investing in better quality, features and customer support, independent of pricing.
• Of those who are considering changing their home ISP in the near future, 38% of Japanese respondents said the main reason they are considering changing is because they are unhappy with the quality of Wi-Fi or Internet in their home, vs 34% because of pricing considerations. Similarly, 31% of UK respondents and 42% of US respondents cited poor Internet quality as the primary reason.
• The most frustrating issues pushing Japanese consumers to consider switching include devices disconnecting from Wi-Fi (49%), video freezing or poor video quality (44%), and slow website browsing (42%).
• Of those considering changing ISPs, 13% said the main reason was the desire for better features elsewhere. These respondents cited the following missing features from their current ISP that would make them consider changing to a new provider: cybersecurity to protect their devices from online threats (42%); an easy mobile app to manage their home network (41%); Wi-Fi that automatically improves its own speed and stability (36%); and advanced parental controls and content filtering (23%).
• Of those considering changing ISPs, 9% said the main reason was they were unhappy with the customer support of their current ISP.
• Among Japanese consumers who switched ISPs in the past year, more than half (54%) said they actually now pay the same or more than they did previously.

Consumers Want ISPs to Manage the Home Wi-Fi and are Willing to Pay

• Nearly two-thirds of Japanese consumers (65%) said they would prefer their ISP to supply their home Wi-Fi router as part of their service with a guaranteed reliable connection, whereas 35% said they would prefer to buy their own routers.
• 44% of consumers expressed interest in a “Guaranteed or Smart Wi-Fi” service that ensures strong coverage throughout the home and automatically fixes network issues remotely.
• Notably, 44% said they would be willing to pay between ¥500 and ¥2,000 more per month for such a service, demonstrating a clear willingness to pay for reliable, high-quality connectivity.

Exceptional Connectivity and Prioritization is Essential

• 23% of Japanese households said they currently use one Wi-Fi extender, in addition to their main home Wi-Fi router in their homes, while 3% said they have 2 extenders, and 1% said they have 3 extenders.
• Japanese households depend heavily on Wi-Fi for daily activities, with video streaming (73%), Wi-Fi calling (56%), social media (55%), and online gaming (30%) as the leading activities placing demands on home networks.
• Japanese households want AI-driven network management: 76% want Wi-Fi systems that automatically optimize performance for important activities, and 74% want the ability to manually prioritize bandwidth themselves (such as via an app).

NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dimora Medical, a continuous innovator in high-end medical care supplies, has been named a 2025 Amazon Best Seller in the Wound Dressings category, marking the fourth consecutive year the brand has held this distinction. The continued recognition underscores that Dimora Medical has earned widespread trust from consumers for combining clinical-grade functionality with everyday usability.

Among the products contributing to this achievement is the Dimora Sacrum Silicone Foam Dressing with Border, one of the brand’s top-performing items on Amazon. Designed for pressure-prone areas such as the sacrum, the dressing features a contoured shape that conforms closely to the body, helping provide stable coverage and cushioning in areas where traditional flat dressings often fall short.

Built with a five-layer structure, the dressing can absorb up to fifteen times its weight in exudate while maintaining a balanced moisture environment that supports wound healing. Users frequently point to this performance in real-world settings. One customer noted that the dressing “handled wound drainage extremely well without leaking,” while remaining “lightweight and comfortable, even around a sensitive surgical site.” The medical-grade silicone contact layer adheres securely to dry skin without sticking to moist wound surfaces, a design detail that many reviewers describe as critical. “I was surprised at how painless removal was,” one review stated. “It didn’t irritate my skin or pull at the wound at all.”

Protection and ease of care are recurring themes across consumer feedback. A semi-permeable polyurethane film creates a waterproof yet breathable barrier, allowing users to bathe or shower without disrupting the dressing. Caregivers have highlighted the value of longer wear time and fewer dressing changes, particularly when supporting elderly or bedridden patients. One caregiver wrote that the dressing “stayed in place, kept the area clean and dry, and reduced the stress of daily wound care,” adding that consistent use led to visible improvement in a sacral pressure sore over time.

Others emphasized the product’s versatility, citing effective use on post-surgical sites, inner-thigh wounds, and skin graft donor areas. The foam core was repeatedly described as “soft,” “highly absorbent,” and “more effective than traditional gauze,” reinforcing the product’s reputation as a reliable home-care solution.

Together, these firsthand experiences underscore why the dressing continues to resonate with consumers and professionals alike, translating technical design into tangible relief and confidence in daily wound management.

The strong consumer response also reflects broader structural growth within the U.S. wound care sector. According to Global Market Insights Inc., the U.S. advanced wound care market is projected to reach USD 8.6 billion by 2034. Market expansion is being driven by an increasing volume of surgical procedures, a rising prevalence of chronic and age-related wounds, and ongoing technological advances in wound care materials and treatment approaches. As care continues to shift beyond hospitals into community and home settings, demand is growing for products that combine clinical-grade performance with ease of use, reliability, and patient comfort—conditions that have reshaped expectations across the category.

Dimora Medical’s continued Best Seller status reflects more than sales performance; it highlights a sustained focus on translating advanced wound care technology into practical, home-friendly solutions. By aligning clinical insight with user-centered design, the brand has positioned itself as a trusted choice for patients, families, and caregivers navigating complex wound care outside traditional hospital settings.

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JarnisTech, a specialized PCB manufacturing and assembly provider, today announced the comprehensive qualification of its Hybrid Lamination Solution. This upgraded capability enables the reliable integration of high-frequency materials (such as Rogers or Taconic) with standard FR-4 within a single multilayer board, directly addressing the cost pressures of mass-market 5G infrastructure.

By optimizing the ratio of expensive high-speed laminates to standard epoxy glass, the solution allows telecom manufacturers to reduce bare board Bill of Materials (BOM) costs by approximately 30-40% for antenna modules and base stations, without sacrificing RF performance.

Overcoming CTE Mismatch in Heterogeneous Stacks

Hybrid construction has historically faced yield challenges due to the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) mismatch between advanced low-loss materials (often PTFE-based) and standard FR-4.

JarnisTech’s approach mitigates these risks through a proprietary “Dynamic Pressure Profiling” technique. By strictly controlling thermal ramp-up rates and pressure dwell times, the process synchronizes the curing behavior of disparate materials, preventing common defects such as delamination and registration shift.

“The primary obstacle in hybrid manufacturing is managing the rheology difference between high-frequency resins and standard epoxies,” said Jason Chen, Technical Director at JarnisTech. “Through predictive scaling factors and optimized lamination cycles, we can now bond these dissimilar materials while maintaining the strict flatness requirements needed for high-density BGA assembly.”

Key Technical Validations:

• Enhanced Adhesion: Implementation of plasma surface treatment to activate the inert surface of PTFE materials prior to bonding, ensuring structural integrity under thermal stress.
• Advanced Layer Alignment: Utilization of non-linear scaling compensation (X-ray optimization) to achieve high-precision layer-to-layer registration, critical for the high-density interconnects in 5G AAUs.
• Signal Integrity: Verified impedance control tolerance of ±8% on hybrid interfaces, ensuring minimal insertion loss at material transitions.

Optimizing Design for Cost and Performance

This capability provides a tangible competitive advantage for telecom OEMs. It allows designers to isolate expensive materials solely for critical RF signal layers while utilizing cost-effective FR-4 for power, ground, and digital control layers.

JarnisTech is now accepting technical inquiries for hybrid design reviews. The company offers complimentary DFM (Design for Manufacturing) analysis to assist clients in converting fully high-frequency designs into cost-optimized hybrid structures.

About JarnisTech

JarnisTech, founded in 2002, has grown to become one of China’s largest and most experienced PCB manufacturers. With over two decades of experience in the development, manufacturing, assembly, and testing of custom printed circuit boards, we can now offer a full range of services, including rapid PCB prototyping, circuit board manufacturing, PCB assembly, and component sourcing, all at a guaranteed quality and cost-effective price.
