Gothenburg – October 07, 2026 -- SKF will debut its new MBx active magnetic bearing series for high-speed chillers at Chillventa 2026, targeting the data center cooling market with claimed energy efficiency improvements of up to 30-40% over conventional technologies.

SKF's integrated drive portfolio cuts maintenance and downtime for centrifugal chillers

The Gothenburg-based bearing maker will present a combined offering of high-speed motors levitated with magnetic bearing technology, active magnetic bearings, digital controllers, variable-speed drives, condition monitoring and engineering services. SKF states the oil-free drive solutions reduce wear, maintenance and unplanned downtime in centrifugal chillers and other high-speed applications.

Dublin – October 07, 2026 -- Beyond Now has launched an Agentic Revenue & Ecosystem Orchestration Platform aimed at helping Communications Service Providers (CSPs) capture a larger share of AI-driven revenue, citing industry data that CSPs have so far secured just 2% of AI revenue.

Platform targets fragmented revenue systems across telecom operators

The platform consolidates capabilities typically scattered across siloed IT and Business Support Systems (BSS) environments into a single commercial foundation. It features a headless architecture, shared catalog, single data model and centralized commercial rules, connecting customers, products, partners, pricing, orders and services for use by people, systems and AI agents.

Tokyo – October 07, 2026 -- NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS (NX Group) and Japan Airlines (JAL) have launched a transport partnership using a Boeing 747 freighter to serve surging demand for AI- and semiconductor-related cargo across intra-Asia and North America-Asia routes.

First flight departed Los Angeles on October 3, 2026

The 747F, secured by JAL through partner cooperation, flies a round-trip circuit from Los Angeles via Narita, Taipei (Taoyuan), Singapore and back to Narita before returning to Los Angeles. The service operates once weekly in 2026, with both companies planning further network expansion.

Milan – October 07, 2026 -- LG CNS is showcasing a pharma-specific manufacturing automation suite at CPHI Milan 2026, the world's largest pharmaceutical and biotech trade show, as the Korean AI transformation firm expands into drug-manufacturing technology. The company is the only Korean participant in CPHI's newly created "AI & Tech" zone this year, presenting its booth under the theme "Autonomous Factory in Pharma."

CPHI Milan draws 60,000 visitors and 3,000 exhibitors from 160 countries

The Milan event is CPHI's flagship show, held annually across global venues including the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and is considered the premier gathering for pharma and biotech manufacturing technology.

New Delhi – October 07, 2026 -- Fibocom unveiled its MGB Series GNSS portfolio at India Mobile Congress 2026, introducing three modules that range from cost-efficient single-frequency tracking to RTK-enabled positioning accurate to 1 cm + 1 ppm.

Three modules target different cost and accuracy tiers

The MGB180 and MGB280 handle mainstream single-frequency GNSS needs, supporting GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS with 96 tracking channels and integrated AGNSS. MGB180 is built for highly cost-sensitive tracking devices with compact, low-power design, while MGB280 adds faster startup, reacquisition and cellular coexistence for asset tracking, fleet management and vehicle telematics.

Austin, Texas – October 06, 2026 -- Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB) unveiled a trio of developer initiatives at its seventh annual Works With Summit, including a public Beta AI SDK, an open-source Bluetooth LE community, and a new integration with Databricks aimed at scaling edge AI deployment across enterprise workflows.

Simplicity AI SDK enters public Beta with support for GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Codex

The Simplicity AI SDK gives developers structured access to Silicon Labs SDKs, tools, documentation, and connected hardware through AI coding assistants they already use. The first officially supported experience targets Bluetooth LE, covering project creation, building, flashing, debugging, network and power analysis, and hardware interaction.

Vancouver, BC – October 06, 2026 -- Ballard Power Systems has won an order for 24 FCrail 200 kW fuel cell modules from Siemens Mobility GmbH, totaling 4.8 MW of capacity, to power Romania's first hydrogen-powered passenger train fleet.

Order marks largest-ever commercial deployment of Siemens' Mireo Plus H platform

The 24 fuel cell modules will be installed across 12 Mireo Plus H trains commissioned by Romania's Railway Reform Authority (ARF). The deployment is the largest to date for the Mireo Plus H platform, the first outside Germany, and the first hydrogen rail fleet in Eastern Europe.

London – – October 06, 2026 -- Telstra has activated the Perth-Sydney route of its Aura Network, the longest segment yet in a next-generation fibre system designed to link Western Australia's resource and defence sectors to eastern cloud hubs and international subsea cables.

New route becomes part of a $1.8 billion national infrastructure build

The Perth-Sydney link forms part of Telstra's broader $1.8 billion investment in Australian digital infrastructure. With this addition, the Aura Network has now built 9,000km of a planned 14,000km total, with active routes already connecting Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.

Each path on the network is engineered to carry up to 35 times more fibre capacity than conventional fibre routes, built across two separate pathways: one dedicated to express traffic and another with regional on- and off-ramps for connectivity into regional Australia.

New York – October 06, 2026 -- Project Eleven has launched Strongpoint, an institutional custody platform designed to protect digital assets as networks migrate to post-quantum cryptography, with the Zcash Foundation joining as the initial development partner. More than $1 trillion in digital assets remain exposed to attack by sufficiently powerful quantum computers, according to the company.

Strongpoint offers a single control layer as cryptographic standards shift across networks

Strongpoint is built to let institutions maintain a consistent set of key-management, transaction-approval and audit controls even as the cryptography underlying individual blockchains changes. The architecture is meant to avoid forcing institutions to rebuild custody infrastructure each time a network adopts a new signature scheme.
