CDXZipStream

 

Welcome to the CDX Technologies January 2018 Newsletter

  

We issue a final notice outlining a new encryption standard for our servers and products going into effect in February 2018.  Also covered are two new cloud-based tools for ZIP Code Radius Demographics and ZIP Code Demographics By State or County now available on our website.

 

Here is our latest blog posting:

 

Update for TLS 1.2 Encryption Requirement

 

This is our final notice that we will be eliminating support of the older https encryption standards TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 on our servers in February 2018.  We covered the reasons for this change in our November 2017 newsletter.  These older standards have been identified as not being as secure as the latest standard TLS 1.2.  With this change we have updated both CDXZipStream and CDXStreamer to default to this protocol.  Please download and install the latest versions of our software to be compatible with this change.

 

Check that you have CDXZipStream version 3.1.0.3 or higher in the CDXZipStream Account menu in Excel.  The correct CDXStreamer version is 2.0.0.36 or higher in the CDXStreamer Settings function in Excel.

 

New Cloud-Based Radius Demographic and State-County Demographic Tools

 

We've just released two new tools on our website, ZIP Code Radius Demographics and  ZIP Code Demographics By State or County. These applications operate independently of Excel and can be used a one-time basis without purchasing a software license.

 

These tools return all of the data items that are available in our free ZIP Code Demographic Report.  With the radius tool, just specify your central ZIP Code and radius distance in miles or kilometers to return demographics for all ZIP Codes which match.  With the State-County tool, just select a state and optional county to return results.  Thousands of ZIP Code entries can be returned at one time in a csv file that loads into Excel.

 

The tools are priced at $.01 per ZIP Code (in the returned report) with a minimum charge of $9.95.  If you will be doing multiple reports you can use your CDXStreamer account instead which offers significantly lower costs per request.  CDXStreamer accounts can now be used for either the Excel add-in or the new cloud-based tools.
