New York – September 22, 2026 -- IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST) reported net revenue of $37.5 million for July, translating to an annualized run rate of $450 million based on that single month's performance.

July revenue run rate tops company's $430 million full-year target

The Company said the July figure supports its previously stated $430 million full-year revenue objective. IQSTEL clarified that the annualized rate simply multiplies July net revenue by 12 and does not reflect revenue already booked or a change to its full-year forecast.

Ultranet acquisition expected to add $4.5 million in net income

IQSTEL is finalizing its planned acquisition of Ultranet, which management expects to contribute $4.5 million in net income once completed. The Company noted the projected contribution depends on closing the deal and subsequent operating performance.

Atlanta – September 22, 2026 -- Sercomm (TWSE: 5388) has launched a fully ITU-T G.9804.3-compliant 50G PON product portfolio, targeting service providers accelerating their transition to all-fiber networks amid surging bandwidth demand from 8K streaming, cloud gaming, AR/VR, enterprise connectivity and mobile backhaul.

Sercomm's 50G PON ONU lineup supports both asymmetric 50G/25G and symmetrical 50G/50G operation

The portfolio, built to ITU-T G.9804.3 specifications, positions 50G PON as the successor to XGS-PON, enabling multi-gigabit symmetrical connectivity for residential, business and mobile-backhaul deployments.

The solution enables tri-PON coexistence with GPON and XGS-PON on shared optical distribution networks

This interoperability protects operators' existing fiber investments and allows a phased migration path from HFC to fiber-deep architectures rather than requiring wholesale infrastructure replacement.

San Jose, Calif. – September 22, 2026 -- Echola Systems has introduced two optical test switches, the OPX4D-SM and OPX8D-SM, designed to cut equipment costs for engineers validating AI data center GPU cluster networks running at 800G and 1.6T speeds.

OptiShare switches let one test resource serve multiple devices under test

The OPX4D-SM offers a 1×4 configuration supporting four devices under test (DUTs), while the OPX8D-SM provides a 1×8 configuration for eight DUTs. Custom builds scale up to 1×32, accommodating 32 DUTs. Engineers select one DUT connection at a time for sequential, automated testing, eliminating the need to dedicate costly instruments like bit error rate testers and protocol analyzers to every device.

New York – September 22, 2026 -- The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) intends to join Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and Vision International Investment Company (Vision Invest) as an investor in WIOCC Group, Africa's carrier-neutral digital infrastructure platform operating in more than 30 African countries. The announcement followed a roundtable hosted by AFC on the sidelines of Unstoppable Africa's Global Africa Business Initiative, held alongside the UN General Assembly in New York.

The combined capital will fund expansion of WIOCC Group's terrestrial and subsea networks, data centre capacity and broader digital infrastructure platform. DFC's investment is subject to further steps before commitment and closing, including congressional notification.

London – September 22, 2026 -- Nice has formalized its entry into the European hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) market, rolling out CE-certified products from its HySecurity division after previously supplying the region only on a project-by-project basis.

Nice Establishes Structured European Route to Market for HySecurity

HySecurity, acquired by Nice in 2016, brings more than 60 years of expertise in hydraulic gate operators and crash-rated barriers for airports, government facilities and data centres. Nice will now support the division with local commercial and technical teams alongside its existing network of installers and system integrators, moving away from ad hoc project sales.

Hangzhou, China – September 21, 2026 -- A joint survey by asmag.com and Hikvision found that 38.2% of video security professionals call storage cost or capacity a "major challenge," while another 43.2% rate it "moderate," together accounting for 81.4% of respondents.

Storage costs have climbed over the past 12 months for most operators

Asked how the storage challenge has changed compared with a year earlier, 43.2% of respondents said pressure has "increased moderately," pointing to persistent upward cost trends across video security deployments rather than a one-time spike.

Copenhagen – – September 21, 2026 -- Lightera has committed major capital to expand submarine optical fiber manufacturing in Denmark and the United States, a move set to nearly triple production capacity by 2029.

Lightera targets tripled output to meet surging subsea bandwidth demand

The expansion covers Lightera's manufacturing centers in Brøndby, Denmark, and Norcross, Georgia, which supply optical fiber for undersea communications networks worldwide. Company CEO Holly Hulse said the investment secures existing customer commitments while preparing capacity for future submarine cable programs.

Steamboat Springs, Colo. – September 21, 2026 -- ElektraFi has deployed broadband infrastructure across Routt and Moffat Counties, delivering high-reliability internet to areas that federal and state programs have consistently failed to reach.

Colorado's Middle Mile Program allocated zero funding to two counties with documented connectivity gaps

The Colorado Broadband Office's recent Middle Mile Program awards excluded Routt and Moffat Counties entirely, despite acknowledged service shortfalls in the region. ElektraFi's network already reaches critical governmental and public agencies ahead of any public capital deployment, including Yampa Valley Regional Airport, the Steamboat Springs Fire Station, and the local Water Treatment Plant.
