Taipei – September 11, 2026 -- GEEKOM has launched the A5 Edition 2027 mini-PC, built around an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8-core, 16-thread processor and rated for up to 64GB of memory, 7TB of storage and four-display support.

GEEKOM targets all-day workloads with 30-tab browsing and 4K editing capacity

The A5 Edition 2027 is engineered to handle over 30 open browser tabs alongside video conferencing and large spreadsheet work, while also supporting Photoshop, 2D creative tasks and light 4K video editing. GEEKOM positions the device for professionals, creators and small businesses needing configurable workspace setups.

Amsterdam – – September 11, 2026 -- NetActuate has moved its 2026 C-Band Transition Acceleration Program onto the NetActuate Media Substrate, a transport layer the company is introducing at IBC 2026, giving U.S. broadcasters a terrestrial path off C-band satellite ahead of a federally mandated spectrum auction.

Broadcasters get a redundant path without buying a second circuit

The program, first announced at NAB, now runs on infrastructure NetActuate already operates. A station group sends one stream and receives one stream while the company runs diverse paths beneath it. In a blackout test cited by the company, one path was taken fully dark and the merged output lost no data.

Gothenburg, Sweden – September 11, 2026 -- SKF has selected fiber-optic sensing specialist Sentea to develop and produce SKF Core, a new integrated hardware platform designed to accelerate commercial deployment of its Insight bearing technology.

SKF Core consolidates sensing, processing and communication into one industrial unit

The platform integrates three previously separate functions into a single unit, reducing system complexity for customers deploying machine intelligence solutions at scale. SKF Insight bearings use fiber-optic sensing to give machine builders and industrial operators direct visibility into operating conditions including loads, speeds, temperatures and vibrations, exceeding the limits of conventional monitoring technologies.

Tokyo – September 11, 2026 -- transcosmos inc. has officially launched trans-AI Chat, a generative AI-powered chatbot, in Indonesia, expanding its customer experience (CX) technology footprint in the country.

Chatbot uses large language models to replace scripted conversation flows

Unlike conventional chatbots built on predefined scripts, trans-AI Chat leverages large language models (LLMs) to interpret conversational context, recognize customer intent, and generate dynamic, human-like responses in real time.

Amsterdam – September 11, 2026 -- NetActuate today launched the Media Substrate, a managed transport layer that runs redundant paths for contribution-grade live video across more than 45 global locations, available immediately in the company's Customer Portal ahead of IBC 2026.

Broadcasters send one stream while NetActuate manages dual paths beneath it

The service lets broadcasters send a single stream and receive a single stream, while NetActuate runs diverse paths across its network, merges them at egress, and measures latency and continuity on every hop. In a blackout test cited by the company, one path was taken fully dark and the merged output lost no data.

Kawasaki, Japan – September 11, 2026 -- Fujitsu has developed the world's first working prototype of a diamond-spin quantum computer that integrates tin-vacancy (SnV) centers into photonic integrated circuits, a milestone the company says advances the path toward scalable quantum systems.

Prototype runs at -271.6°C, warmer than superconducting rivals

The device operates at -271.6°C, a higher temperature threshold than the -273.13°C required by typical superconducting quantum computers. Fujitsu demonstrated in a test environment that the prototype can be operated via its Hybrid Quantum Computing Platform without requiring specialist quantum expertise, a factor that could lower operational barriers for enterprise adopters.

Berlin – September 11, 2026 -- BOE Technology held its first overseas Innovation Partner Conference (IPC) in Berlin on September 7, 2026, gathering more than 200 partners alongside IFA 2026 to discuss display and IoT collaboration in the European market.

BOE stages inaugural overseas IPC forum during IFA 2026

The event, themed "Innovation, Globalization, Collaboration," marked the first time BOE's IPC forum was held outside its home market, drawing global display and IoT ecosystem partners to Berlin. BOE CSO Qi Zheng said the company would deepen joint development with global partners, describing the approach as rooted in innovation and driven toward shared success at IFA.

IFA CEO praises BOE's technology leadership at Berlin showcase

IFA CEO Leif Lindner said he was pleased BOE chose to showcase its technological leadership at IFA Berlin, where decision-makers and trendsetters of the electronics industry convene.

Freiburg – – September 11, 2026 -- Intuitive Surgical has secured CE marking for Force Feedback instruments on its da Vinci 5 surgical system, clearing the technology for use across the European market alongside more than 100 additional system updates.

Force Feedback lets surgeons feel tissue resistance in real time

The instruments capture pressure, traction and lateral forces roughly 1,000 times per second, relaying them directly through the hand controllers on the da Vinci 5 console. A real-time force gauge, resembling a speedometer, displays the intensity of force applied to tissue during a procedure. Post-operatively, surgeons can review force data through Case Insights in the MyIntuitive+ platform to refine technique and reduce variability between cases.

Bad Friedrichshall – September 10, 2026 -- Schwarz Digits and SAP have launched RISE with SAP on STACKIT, making STACKIT the only European hyperscaler certified to run SAP's flagship cloud ERP program, with commercial availability starting immediately and technical provisioning set for November 2026.

Certification took 18 months to complete

Schwarz Digits achieved SAP certification for STACKIT within one and a half years, according to Chief Sales Officer Bernd Wagner. He said the milestone removes 'the last hurdle' for on-premises customers considering a cloud migration, positioning STACKIT as the first European hyperscaler to combine sovereignty with competitive pricing.

Pembroke Pines, Fla. – September 10, 2026 -- Alocity, the AI Operating System for physical spaces, has announced support for Mercury Security's open access control platform, integrating Mercury's controller infrastructure with Alocity's cloud-native access control, AI Video, intercom, and visitor management software.

Alocity pairs Mercury's open hardware with its AI operator Aimee

The integration lets integrators and enterprise customers combine Mercury's established access control foundation with Alocity's AI-driven software layer, avoiding a choice between legacy infrastructure and modern cloud tools. Marco Quintero, Founder and CEO of Alocity, said Mercury represents the open infrastructure and customer choice the physical security industry needs, and that Alocity can now pair that foundation with a new generation of AI-driven software.
