Hosted entirely within NourNet's Saudi data centers, the platform offers Arabic-tuned and multilingual models while ensuring customer data and AI workloads do not leave the Kingdom.

Chandler – September 13, 2026 -- VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) will present a full-stack data center test portfolio at booth 1001 during ECOC 2026, running September 21-23 at the FYCMA exhibition center in Malaga, Spain.

Hyperscalers push 1.6T rollouts while planning for 3.2T networks

Cloud providers are deploying 1.6T technologies within racks, across clusters and between data centers as AI infrastructure scales, with 3.2T architectures already in planning. These builds depend on 16x224G and 8x448G lane designs enabled by Silicon Photonics, Co-packaged Optics (CPO) and dense optical connectivity, driving sharp growth in fiber density and multifiber interconnects.

Wilmington, Massachusetts – – September 13, 2026 -- Stafford Manufacturing Corp. has released a full line of shaft collars, couplings, and flange mounts engineered specifically for conveyor and packaging equipment in the food and beverage sector, targeting operators that require frequent wash-down cycles under USDA and FDA compliance standards.

New product line fits round, square and hex bores across multiple materials

The Stafford Shaft Collars, Couplings & Flange Mounts are machined from 303 and 316 stainless steel, food-grade Blue Acetal, Nylon, or Delrin, paired with 18-8 or 316 stainless steel fasteners. The components are available in one- and two-piece designs, giving equipment manufacturers flexibility for assembly and maintenance without full shaft disassembly.

Abu Dhabi – September 13, 2026 -- Robo.ai Inc. (Nasdaq: AIIO) said its industrial group Alif Holding plans to establish Alif Maritec, a wholly owned subsidiary dedicated to marine security and intelligent maritime infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates.

Alif Holding designates Dr. Jasem Al-Mansory as chairman of new maritime unit

Dr. Jasem Al-Mansory, Chief Executive Officer of Alif Holding, is expected to serve as Chairman of Alif Maritec once it is formally established. The subsidiary will target four business areas: maritime protection, smart ports, underwater intelligence and critical infrastructure protection, serving governments and infrastructure operators managing ports, coastlines and offshore energy assets.

Los Angeles – September 13, 2026 -- Hermeus is developing Ramjet-X, an expendable, ramjet-powered test vehicle designed to be launched from its reusable Quarterhorse aircraft, aiming to make high-Mach airbreathing flight testing cheaper and more repeatable.

Quarterhorse aircraft eliminates need for costly disposable boosters

Ramjet engines require substantial initial speed before they can operate, historically forcing test programs to rely on large, expensive, single-use boosters. Hermeus instead uses its reusable Quarterhorse aircraft to accelerate Ramjet-X to the required speed and altitude before release, after which the vehicle enters ramjet-powered flight while Quarterhorse returns for subsequent missions.

Berlin – September 11, 2026 -- SATELLAI announced an expanded collaboration with Deutsche Telekom IoT and Swift Navigation at IFA 2026, combining artificial intelligence, global IoT connectivity and advanced positioning technology to scale its connected pet-care devices internationally.

Three technology layers merge to support global pet-tech rollout

The partnership pairs SATELLAI's AI-driven pet intelligence with Deutsche Telekom IoT's global connectivity infrastructure and Swift Navigation's location technology. SATELLAI unveiled the deepened collaboration during a keynote at an exclusive networking and showcase event hosted by Deutsche Telekom IoT.

Swift Navigation upgrades boost location accuracy for connected collars

The collaboration has improved location capabilities on SATELLAI's connected pet devices, enabling more reliable GPS-based features including virtual perimeters, route history tracking and escape alerts.

Hsinchu – September 11, 2026 -- Spirox Corporation (TWSE: 3055) unveiled its SP7000G high-speed TGV crack inspection system, a tool designed to support mass production testing of glass substrates for next-generation AI and HPC packaging.

Spirox scans a full 510mm by 515mm glass substrate in under 20 minutes

The SP7000G detects internal micro-cracks after metallization and ABF build-up processes, according to the company. Spirox positions the system to improve inspection efficiency, monitor process quality and defect distribution, and optimize yield as Through Glass Via (TGV) technology moves toward volume manufacturing.

Mainz – September 12, 2026 -- Public libraries across Rhineland-Palatinate will offer free coding instruction to children aged four to seven starting this autumn, under a new partnership between the state's Landesbibliothekszentrum (LBZ) and German public broadcasters WDR and SWR.

Library staff train in September ahead of autumn rollout

Training sessions for participating library staff run from September 21 to 23, 2026, preparing personnel to guide children through the program before public sessions begin in autumn 2026.

Hanover – September 12, 2026 -- FOTON exported 149,000 vehicles between January and August 2026, up 44.3% year-on-year, as the Chinese commercial vehicle maker uses IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover to launch a full European market strategy.

FOTON occupies over 1,000 square meters in Hall 21 under the theme 'EASY MOVE'

The company is displaying seven complete vehicles and six in-house-developed key components spanning long-haul logistics, urban waste collection, city distribution and public passenger transport. Exhibits include new-energy models alongside self-developed high-performance batteries, electric axles, electronic control systems and multi-megawatt charging stations.

Colorado Springs, Colo. – September 12, 2026 -- NetAlly has launched LinkRunner 100G, a handheld diagnostic tool priced at $8,999 plus an AllyCare Pro subscription, designed to troubleshoot 100G fiber links now spreading from data centers into enterprise networks.

NetAlly targets a gap left by telco-grade testing tools

CEO Jeff O'Mara said existing tools for validating high-speed fiber links have been expensive and specialized for large telecom providers, leaving enterprise IT teams without an accessible option as 25G, 40G, 50G, and 100G networks become more common. Unlike twisted-pair copper networks up to 10G, which benefit from IEEE-standardized auto-negotiation for speed, power, and polarity, no equivalent automation exists for 100G networks, producing brittle, hard-coded configurations. Proprietary transceivers that modify encodings and bit rates to boost fiber efficiency add further complexity for technicians.
