Product Launch

San Mateo, Calif. – October 06, 2026 -- Band24 has unveiled Terra, an asset-tracking device that fuses terrestrial Bluetooth, LTE-M cellular and direct-to-satellite connectivity into a single palm-sized unit, targeting a $30 billion global asset visibility market where coverage gaps routinely leave physical assets untracked.

Terra Combines Three Networks to Close Visibility Gaps

The device draws on a terrestrial Bluetooth network of more than 100 million crowdsourced access points, LTE-M cellular, and satellite continuity through Hubble Network's low-earth-orbit infrastructure. Band24 co-founder and CEO Patrick Patel said consumer trackers such as AirTags or Tile devices are insufficient for enterprise asset management, since visibility typically fails at the moment it matters most.

The offering covers approximately 1,277 net royalty acres, with interests in over 200 producing wells and more than 300 undrilled locations. Roughly 90% of the portfolio is tied to Haynesville Shale natural gas production, with the remaining 10% linked to Permian Basin oil.

Santa Clara – October 06, 2026 -- Picarro, Inc. achieved a 100% detection rate for methane leaks during real-world field testing conducted under the DVGW-funded Fahrzeuggestützte Methanmessung (FaMeGQ) research project in Germany, the only system among six vehicle-based technologies evaluated to detect all 10 methane events presented during live-network validation.

Picarro detects all 10 methane events in Regensburg field trial

During testing on roughly 50 kilometers of active gas distribution network in Regensburg, Picarro's Advanced Mobile Leak Detection (AMLD) system identified all eight controlled methane releases installed for the evaluation, plus two additional, previously unknown leaks that were later independently confirmed. No other participating system matched this result.

Chicago – October 06, 2026 -- S&C Electric Company will build a 295,000-square-foot central warehouse facility in Glenview, Illinois, as part of a broader push to expand U.S. manufacturing capacity for grid-resilience technologies.

Glenview facility consolidates materials to free up production space elsewhere

The new site will serve as S&C's central warehouse, consolidating materials and inventory that currently support production across the company's manufacturing network. Relocating these operations to Glenview will free up space for production at existing facilities, improve material movement, and create flexibility for future assembly expansion.

Los Angeles – October 06, 2026 -- FullGood Motor, a Beijing-based manufacturer of retro-styled plug-in hybrid vehicles, will make its first U.S. exhibition appearance on Nov. 19 at AutoMobility LA, seeking American assembly partners, distributors and investors to enter the U.S. market.

FullGood Motor targets component-export model rather than direct retail entry

The company plans to export vehicles in component form for final assembly in the United States, with vehicles sold and registered under an American partner's brand instead of through a FullGood-owned retail network. The strategy mirrors the entry path used by nearly every international automaker that has previously launched in the U.S. market through Southern California.
