IQSTEL Posts $37.5M July Revenue, Eyes $4.5M From Ultranet Deal

New York – September 22, 2026 -- IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST) reported net revenue of $37.5 million for July, translating to an annualized run rate of $450 million based on that single month's performance.

July revenue run rate tops company's $430 million full-year target

The Company said the July figure supports its previously stated $430 million full-year revenue objective. IQSTEL clarified that the annualized rate simply multiplies July net revenue by 12 and does not reflect revenue already booked or a change to its full-year forecast.

Ultranet acquisition expected to add $4.5 million in net income

IQSTEL is finalizing its planned acquisition of Ultranet, which management expects to contribute $4.5 million in net income once completed. The Company noted the projected contribution depends on closing the deal and subsequent operating performance.

Findem Launches Studio AI Agents for Enterprise Talent Decisions

Redwood City, Calif. – September 22, 2026 -- Findem has launched Findem Studio, a suite of AI agents designed to deliver finished, evidence-backed people-analytics work rather than raw data or search results. The platform is now available for free trial at studio.findem.ai/solutions.

Studio agents produce succession plans, market maps and benchmarks with supporting evidence

Findem Studio combines the company's proprietary people intelligence with AI agents built on methodologies from named practitioners. Outputs include succession plans, leadership benchmarks, hiring briefs, skills gap analyses, org charts and CHRO and VP of Talent Acquisition benchmarks. Rather than returning a candidate list for a succession plan, for example, an agent evaluates potential successors against expert-defined criteria and produces a plan with documented rationale that teams can review, challenge and refine before acting.

Joe Pine to Unveil 'Transformation Economy' Framework at Global Wellness Summit

Miami – September 22, 2026 -- The Global Wellness Summit (GWS) will convene its 20th-anniversary conference November 10-13 at Angsana Laguna Phuket in Thailand, spotlighting a shift the organizers say will redefine competitive advantage across the $6.8 trillion global wellness economy.

Author Joe Pine argues memorable experiences no longer retain customers

B. Joseph Pine II, who co-created the influential "experience economy" framework with James H. Gilmore in 1999, will present findings from his new book, The Transformation Economy: Guiding Customers to Achieve Their Aspirations. Pine contends that goods, services and even curated experiences are now commoditized, and that consumers instead seek measurable transformation across four aspirations: health and wellbeing, prosperity, knowledge and wisdom, and purpose.

Sercomm Unveils ITU-T Compliant 50G PON Portfolio for All-Fiber Rollout

Atlanta – September 22, 2026 -- Sercomm (TWSE: 5388) has launched a fully ITU-T G.9804.3-compliant 50G PON product portfolio, targeting service providers accelerating their transition to all-fiber networks amid surging bandwidth demand from 8K streaming, cloud gaming, AR/VR, enterprise connectivity and mobile backhaul.

Sercomm's 50G PON ONU lineup supports both asymmetric 50G/25G and symmetrical 50G/50G operation

The portfolio, built to ITU-T G.9804.3 specifications, positions 50G PON as the successor to XGS-PON, enabling multi-gigabit symmetrical connectivity for residential, business and mobile-backhaul deployments.

The solution enables tri-PON coexistence with GPON and XGS-PON on shared optical distribution networks

This interoperability protects operators' existing fiber investments and allows a phased migration path from HFC to fiber-deep architectures rather than requiring wholesale infrastructure replacement.

CentralReach Launches ReportDraftAI to Cut BCBA Documentation Load

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – September 22, 2026 -- CentralReach has launched ReportDraftAI, an AI-assisted tool that compiles authorization, clinical and progress data into a review-ready report draft for Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), cutting a process that typically takes 9-12 hours per learner into a fraction of that non-billable time.

BCBAs spend 46% of their time on non-billable documentation, nearly double clinical guidelines

A 2025 study in Behavior Analysis in Practice found behavior analysts devote approximately 46% of their time to indirect activities such as reporting, data analysis and treatment plan development, against a recommended 25-30%. The same documentation load correlates with burnout: 72% of ABA practitioners report medium-to-high burnout tied to reporting demands.

Circular Genomics, Altoida Combine Blood and Digital Biomarkers for Alzheimer's

San Diego – September 22, 2026 -- Circular Genomics and Altoida have entered a collaboration pairing blood-based circular RNA (circRNA) biomarkers with AI-powered digital cognitive testing to accelerate Alzheimer's drug development and build a scalable frontline diagnostic pathway.

Companies design a two-step diagnostic workflow combining digital and molecular data

The alliance links Circular Genomics' CircPathTM circRNA biomarker platform with Altoida's Digital NeuroMarkerTM platform. The proposed workflow starts with a 10-minute, self-administered digital cognitive assessment, followed by a confirmatory circRNA blood test to validate underlying disease biology. The companies say this sequence could reduce dependence on hours-long, specialist-administered neuropsychological batteries and extend Alzheimer's screening into primary care settings.

Aeonsemi Launches Praxium PHY Family for Physical AI Ethernet

Santa Clara, Calif. – September 22, 2026 -- Aeonsemi, Inc. has introduced the Praxium PHY family, a line of multi-gigabit Ethernet transceivers delivering data rates up to 10 Gbps in a 6 x 6 mm QFN package for robots, autonomous vehicles and industrial machines.

Praxium cuts power to as low as 350 mW for 10 Gbps sensor links

The chips support IEEE 802.3ch standards for 10GBASE-T1, 5GBASE-T1 and 2.5GBASE-T1 operation, and use Energy-Efficient Ethernet on lower-speed uplinks to reach the 350 mW figure for asymmetric 10 Gbps connections. The family targets cameras, LiDAR, zone controllers and network backbones inside Physical AI systems where component size and power budgets are constrained.
