ADVA (FSE: ADV) and NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced that Viettel, a global telecommunications service provider based in Vietnam, has deployed ADVA’s Oscilloquartz timing solution throughout Laos and Myanmar to provide nationwide 4G services and prepare its synchronization network for 5G. The technology enables Viettel to smoothly transition its legacy timing infrastructure, deliver 4G coverage to more mobile subscribers and lay the foundations for next-generation services. Installed and maintained by NEC, the new solution is built on ADVA’s OSA 3230B primary reference cesium clock (PRC) for assured and precise synchronization with or without GNSS. It also features ADVA’s versatile ultra-compact synchronization supply units (SSUs) with high-capacity PTP modules for grandmaster clock functionality.

“This deployment enables the end-to-end distribution of assured, precise and highly reliable timing. It utilizes our OSA 3230B PRC for superb accuracy with the smallest size and power footprint, as well as our ultra-scalable SSUs. With this solution, we’ve empowered Viettel to address all its most urgent synchronization needs, helped it protect past investments and opened the door to further expansion,” commented Erik Lindberg, VP, sales, APAC, ADVA. “Our close collaboration with NEC was key to the success of this project. It’s a relationship based on a great deal of trust and a shared passion to push the boundaries of possibility. And that partnership is now delivering valuable results for service providers across East Asia.”
Viettel’s new solution leverages the OSA 3230B PRC, a high-performance cesium time source that offers superior accuracy and stability together with operational simplicity and unrivalled flexibility. With its space-saving and environmentally hardened design, it fits seamlessly into a wide range of locations. Also key to the deployment were ADVA’s highly flexible Oscilloquartz SSUs, which enable Viettel to maintain its legacy synchronization networks and evolve ultra-precise, highly reliable timing to meet the requirements of time-sensitive applications and 5G connectivity. All elements of the new timing solution are overseen from Viettel’s headquarters in Vietnam using ADVA’s Ensemble Controller with Sync Director. With its highly intuitive GUI, this advanced management platform guarantees flexibility, cost-effective operations and complete centralized control.
“We’re extremely pleased to be working with our global partner, ADVA, and helping Viettel to achieve its ambitions of taking its timing infrastructure in Laos and Myanmar to the next level. By harnessing the most advanced innovation and our ongoing support, Viettel is ensuring unprecedented levels of precision and reliability as it tackles demand for low-latency services from its mobile customers,” said Mayuko Tatewaki, general manager, service provider division, NEC Corporation. “At NEC, we know the value of synchronization with strict precision. It’s one of the key components when designing 5G-ready networks. Now Viettel has a future-proof timing solution controlled by a single management system and is able to deliver phenomenally accurate phase and frequency alignment all the way from the radio base station to the core.”

Former Nokia Technologies C-suite Executive Joins Sisvel to Lead Creation of New Ventures Unit27.10.2026 10:04:00 EET | Press release
Stavros Kyris has joined Sisvel to lead the formation of Sisvel Ventures, which has a wide-ranging remit to explore opportunities outside of Sisvel’s core areas of business. Kyris previously held a number of senior roles at Nokia and from 2019 until earlier this year was Chief Strategy, Financial and Operating Officer of Nokia Technologies. Before that, he spent five years as Chief of Staff to Nokia’s CEO, having formerly worked in corporate business development, strategy and M&A at the company. Sisvel Ventures will identify and develop IP-based business projects that do not sit within Sisvel’s established standard essential patent (SEP) pool licensing operation. It will draw on expertise within the broader company while functioning separately from it. Senior Sisvel executives Matteo Sabattini and Leonardo Saroni will join Kyris in building the new unit. “Sisvel Ventures is an exciting endeavour that I am delighted to help launch,” says Kyris. “Sisvel has a reputation for its bold, ent

Unframe Removes Another Barrier Between AI Capabilities and Adoption27.10.2026 10:00:00 EET | Press release
Unframe, the Applied AI Lab, announced its availability on all three leading cloud marketplaces: AWS Marketplace, Google Cloud Marketplace and Microsoft Marketplace. For enterprises, cloud marketplaces have become the preferred channel for discovering and procuring software. AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft together serve the vast majority of enterprise cloud infrastructure worldwide. Their marketplaces represent a growing share of how organizations purchase technology by consolidating vendor relationships, simplifying contracting and allowing companies to apply existing cloud spend toward new solutions. Being listed across all three is now a key expectation for enterprise-grade software vendors. “Enterprises shouldn’t have to choose between moving quickly on AI and working within the procurement and cloud frameworks they already have,” said Jacquelyn Goldberg, Global VP of Revenue at Unframe. “As an applied AI lab, our job is to close the gap between what AI can do and what enterprises
Ant Group Upgrades LingGuang to 2.0, Turning Its AI Assistant into a Proactive Personal Agent27.10.2026 10:00:00 EET | Press release
Ant Group today announced the launch of LingGuang 2.0, an upgrade that transforms its multimodal AI assistant into a proactive personal agent capable of identifying user needs and managing tasks over time. Moving beyond passive, single-turn interactions, LingGuang 2.0 shifts AI assistance from responding to commands toward continuously identifying needs, following up on tasks, and coordinating everyday affairs on behalf of users. Unlike conventional conversational AI and task-oriented agents, LingGuang 2.0 moves the starting point of AI assistance earlier in the user’s workflow. Instead of waiting for users to issue a command, LingGuang can, with explicit user authorization, draw on connected information and services to spot potential needs, initiate analysis and follow-ups, and alert users when their attention is required. In this way, it evolves from a reactive tool into a personal agent that continuously manages tasks on the user’s behalf. This shift is powered by comprehensive upgr
