Product Launch

Ulanqab – – November 02, 2026 -- Envision has put the world's first commercial integrated 800V DC power system into service at a large-scale AI data center, powering live computing workloads at its Galaxy campus in Ulanqab, China. The system delivers power end to end, from medium-voltage AC grid input to the server rack.

Envision's system combines solid-state transformers, batteries and AI controls

The deployment integrates solid-state transformers (SST), battery energy storage (BESS) and equipment that adjusts DC voltage for computing hardware. Envision's Dubhe Controller, supported by the Dubhe Energy Foundation Model, coordinates transformers and batteries in real time to match supply with computing demand and absorb sudden load swings.

Düsseldorf – November 02, 2026 -- Ericsson will begin commercial pilots of its new Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) system with selected customers in 2027, with broader deployments from 2028. The system adds sensing functions to existing 5G networks so they can detect and track low-flying drones, including ones not connected to the network.

The rollout is phased. The 2027 pilots will be smaller and focus purely on sensing. Integrated communication functions are to follow as the solution evolves toward 6G. Target customers are operators of critical infrastructure and players in defense and public safety.

REDMOND – November 02, 2026 -- 1stMILE, a financial experience platform for the automotive aftermarket, has launched 1stMILE EV Charging, a turnkey program that installs Level 3 fast chargers at multi-location tire dealers and independent repair shops with no upfront cost to the shop.

1stMILE absorbs hardware, permitting, installation and maintenance costs

The company covers all four cost items, so participating shops pay nothing up front. Shops instead earn a share of charging revenue, and that share grows as utilization grows.

Charging sessions give service teams 20 to 40 minutes with each driver

A typical session brings a vehicle to 80% charge in 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the vehicle. 1stMILE says that window lets service staff greet drivers and suggest routine work such as tires, brakes, cabin filters and battery checks.

NEW YORK – – November 02, 2026 -- WealthFeed, an AI-powered growth platform for financial advisors, has added Form 5500 data covering more than 780,000 retirement plans, extending its prospecting tools from individuals and households to plan sponsors.

Advisors can search the plans and receive alerts when new filings show changes that may point to a business opportunity. Because the data sits inside the existing platform, advisors can run the same automated outreach they use for individual prospects.

The launch follows growing advisor interest in the 401(k) market. February 2026 research from FUSE Research Network found that 65% of surveyed advisors said converting retirement plan participants into wealth management clients was easier than acquiring clients through traditional marketing or referrals.

BOSTON – November 02, 2026 -- Black Kite says its new CrowdStrike integration cuts third-party incident response times by 5x by moving vendor risk intelligence natively into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.

The integration correlates external vendor risk signals with internal telemetry on the platform security operations centers (SOCs) already use. Black Kite says SOC teams handle tens of thousands of inbound signals daily but cannot detect third-party ransomware risk in real time or act on vendor incidents within existing workflows.

Black Kite scores and ratings land inside the SIEM

Analysts get Black Kite's Ransomware Susceptibility Index (RSI) scores, FocusTags and aggregated vendor cyber ratings across technical, financial and compliance dimensions. Joint customers also see data breach indicators and FAIR-based financial risk in a single view of aggregate third-party exposure.

WATERLOO – November 02, 2026 -- Applied Brain Research (ABR) has made its speech AI software development kit generally available on Zephyr RTOS for Alif Semiconductor's Ensemble family of edge AI processors. On the Ensemble E8, its Niagara ASR engine delivers 133 ms average latency from first audio to first token while drawing 15 mW of active power above baseline.

SDK bundles streaming recognition and synthesis that run without a cloud connection

The kit combines two engines. Niagara ASR provides full-vocabulary streaming speech recognition with low latency, transcribing speech continuously as it is spoken. Nith TTS provides low-latency streaming speech synthesis.

The SDK also offers native Zephyr RTOS support for battery-powered and air-gapped products, plus ongoing model updates and expansion.

Grand Junction, Colo. – November 02, 2026 -- RideLot Technologies launched an inventory intelligence platform for powersports and specialty vehicle dealers, offering qualifying dealers 12 months of price-history recordkeeping and Facebook Marketplace listing tools at no added software charge, with a $0 setup fee.

The platform connects to the inventory feed a dealership already sends from its DMS or feed provider. It normalizes each unit into a record that drives shopper search, websites, storefronts, marketplace distribution, marketing and dealer analytics. Dealers keep their existing website, DMS, CRM, phone numbers and lead routing.

"Dealers do not need another system asking them to replace everything they already use," said James Wells, founder and CEO, who co-founded the company with Nick Citrola.

DONGGUAN – November 02, 2026 -- Dongguan Taixun Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (TaixunPOS) says its 6,000-square-meter plant in China's Guangdong province can produce about 10,000 POS terminals a month for OEM/ODM partners building their own brands.

TaixunPOS replaces plastic housings with unibody aluminum-alloy chassis

The manufacturer says plastic POS terminals are prone to poor heat dissipation and housing wear under intensive use. Its aluminum-alloy chassis is designed to improve thermal performance and durability. The fanless design removes mechanical cooling fans, which the company says can reduce dust and grease ingress, depending on enclosure design, and cut maintenance costs over time.

The terminals use industrial PCAP multi-touch screens and high-brightness, wide-viewing-angle IPS displays. TaixunPOS targets restaurants, cafes, stores and hotels.
