  • MIL-OSI: Coralogix Raises $115M E Round at $1B+ Valuation to Advance AI-Powered Observability

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BOSTON, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Coralogix, a leading full-stack observability platform provider, today announced a $115 million Series E funding round. The round was led by NewView Capital, a California-based venture growth firm, with participation of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) and NextEquity, the venture firm founded by former Apple executives Avie Tevanian and Fred Anderson. The round brings Coralogix’s valuation to over $1 billion.

    All existing investors — including Advent International, Brighton Park Capital, Revaia, Greenfield Partners, Red Dot Capital Partners, O.G. Tech, Joule Capital Partners, and Maor Investments — also returned to support Coralogix’s continued growth and leadership in AI observability.

    Coralogix today announced its new AI agent Olly, the centerpiece of the company’s initiative to extend the value of observability across the enterprise. While traditional observability tools have helped DevOps teams diagnose and troubleshoot system behavior, Olly takes a fundamentally different, agentic approach – actively guiding users through questions, surfacing insights, and recommending next steps. By allowing both technical and non-technical users to access Observability insights, Olly transforms observability into an intelligent system that drives better, faster decisions across the business.

    The announcements follow the company’s December 2024 acquisition of Aporia, an AI observability and guardrails innovator; and the recent launch of Coralogix AI Center, the first AI observability platform that provides insights not only into performance, but also the quality, security and governance of its responses.

    “This funding round accelerates our momentum and helps us push the boundaries of AI-driven observability, enabling smarter decisions and faster innovation across the business,” said Ariel Assaraf, CEO and Co-founder of Coralogix.

    “As we expand our full-stack Observability & Security platform, this round will help us in accelerating the building of the Coralogix AI research center where engineers are already working on how data will be accessed and analyzed in the future,” said Yoni Farin, CTO and Co-founder of Coralogix.

  • MIL-OSI: Tellus Power Globe Holding Limited, BinHendi Holding and Sing Family Enterprise Group Sign Joint Venture Agreement to Launch One of the First EV Charger Manufacturing Companies in Middle East with Support of UAE Ministry of Investment

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    IRVINE, Calif., June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tellus Power Globe Holding Limited (“Tellus Power” or the “Company”), a global provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, today announced the official signing of a joint venture agreement with the renowned BinHendi Holding and SFE Group on May 30, 2025. This move responds to the surging growth of the electric vehicle (EV) market and the urgent need to accelerate e-mobility infrastructure development across the Middle East. This collaboration, supported by the UAE Ministry of Investment (the “Ministry of Investment”), marks the establishment of one of the first EV charging equipment manufacturing companies in the Middle East.

    The Ministry of Investment played a pivotal role in facilitating this greenfield investment, reiterating its commitment to attracting future-enabling investment into the UAE while also supporting and promoting the growth of family businesses in the UAE’s markets and strengthening the country’s position as a regional hub for advanced manufacturing and sustainable technologies – two priority sectors under the National Investment Strategy of UAE.

    The agreement was signed at the Ministry of Investment’s headquarters by Mike Calise, Chief Executive Officer of Tellus Power, and Marius Ciavola, Chief Executive officer of Sing Family Enterprise Middle East. The event was witnessed by Hessa Al Ghurair, Acting Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Investment, Hamdan Zakaria Doleh, Chairman of China Innovation Centre in UAE, Yansong Li, Co-Founder of Tellus Power Group, and Mohammad BinHendi, Group CEO of BinHendi Holding.

    This collaboration aims to leverage Tellus Power’s global network in EV charging station technology and manufacturing, combined with the BinHendi Holding and SFE Group’s resources and conducive market conditions in the Middle East, to jointly develop future-oriented smart charging infrastructure and support the region’s sustainable energy transition.

    The joint venture is expected to invest in the construction of DC and AC charging equipment production lines, including high-power DC charging stations with V2G (vehicle-to-grid) functionality. The products are anticipated to not only serve the local market in UAE but also to expand to the entire Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”) countries and Middle East regions. As one of the first indigenous EV charging infrastructure manufacturers in the Middle East, the joint venture will be committed to providing local users with efficient, intelligent, reliable, and user-centric EV charging solutions.

    Mike Calise, Chief Executive Officer of Tellus Power, comments: “We’re truly honored to establish this strategic alliance. It’s a significant step that dramatically extends our global reach. Given the UAE’s impressive growth in clean tech and smart mobility, this joint venture, thanks to the vital support from all the incredible teams involved, ensures we are well positioned to meet the escalating demand across the GCC.”

    H.E. Mohammad Abdulrahman Alhawi, Undersecretary at the Ministry of Investment, said: “This agreement showcases the Ministry of Investment’s ongoing dedication to being a strategic partner for international investors, local investors, and family offices. It directly aligns with our mission to strengthen the UAE’s position in attracting future-focused investments that match our national priorities. By supporting partnerships like this, the Ministry of Investment continues to drive high-value investment into high-growth sectors, fostering innovation and sustainable economic prosperity.”

    Hamdan Zakaria Doleh, Chairman of China Innovation Centre in UAE, commented: “The Middle East is at a critical juncture in the green mobility transition. I believe this collaboration with MBH will enable Tellus Power Group to establish a stronger foothold in the Middle East and support the rapid growth of the EV ecosystem through technological innovation and localized operations. This marks a significant milestone in Tellus Power Group’s strategic expansion in the Middle East.”

    Mohammad BinHendi, Group CEO of BinHendi Holding, added: “For us, this is about building national capability – “Made in UAE” isn’t just a label, it’s a direction. We’re actively positioning the UAE as the regional manufacturing hub for next-generation EV infrastructure. Our vision extends beyond mobility, as we continue driving industrial manufacturing across multiple high-impact sectors. As a group committed to ‘Adding Value’, BinHendi Holding believes in adding value to everything we touch. How? We keep things consistent in what we do – and we keep it simple.”

    The joint venture plans to complete factory construction within the year and launch its first ‘Made in UAE’ products by the end of 2025.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    In alignment with the Presidential Executive Order “Unleashing American Drone Dominance”

    Golden, CO, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TB2 Aerospace LLC, in collaboration with Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO) (FSE: 3U8A) (“Draganfly” or the “Company”), a drone solutions, and systems developer, (NASDAQ: DPRO), is proud to announce the successful deployment and performance of the Drone Recharging Operational Payload System (DROPS) during the U.S. Army’s Sustainment Modernization Experiment 2025 (SMEX25).

    Throughout SMEX25’s week-long field exercises, the DROPS system, integrated with Draganfly’s Commander 3XL, achieved a 100% success rate in autonomously deploying, recovering, and recharging TB2’s tactical resupply pods. The event provided an opportunity to validate real-world operational performance in austere and high-demand scenarios, drawing praise from defence evaluators and technology observers alike.

    “The successful deployment of DROPS at SMEX25 underscores our commitment to advancing autonomous logistics solutions,” said Hank Scott, CEO of TB2 Aerospace. “Our system’s performance in a live operational environment validates its potential to revolutionize military tactical resupply and contested logistics.”

    He added, “The successful integration of the Commander 3XL and DROPS in support of the U.S. Army’s mission is a great example of the advantage we strive to bring to our partners and their stakeholders.”

    Key Capabilities Demonstrated:

    • Autonomous Payload Operations: The Commander 3XL, enabled with DROPS, autonomously captured, transported, and delivered payloads without any manual intervention, streamlining tactical resupply and significantly reducing the need for human logistics support in the field.
    • Platform Agnosticism: DROPS functioned seamlessly across various platforms, confirming its plug-and-play versatility, with special emphasis on its integration with Draganfly’s Commander 3XL platform. The Draganfly 3XL is now ‘DROPS Enabled’, whilst the smaller Draganfly Apex and the larger Heavy Lift are in the process of becoming DROPS Enabled.

    Business Highlights

    • Antalpha has purchased approximately US$20 million in XAUt to date, as part of its digital gold treasury strategy. This creates a strategic hedge against macroeconomic volatility and further strengthen the resilience of the collateral pool of the Company. The Company is unique in the deployment of a gold treasury strategy, in that it is synergistic to its core business. Acquiring digital gold will not only improve Antalpha’s risk management, it will also pave the way for expansion into new businesses.
    • The Company raised US$56.7 million gross proceeds, from the issuance of 4.4 million shares through its IPO on NASDAQ on May 14, 2025. As a strategic investor, Tether purchased 1.9 million shares, representing 8.1% of the Company’s ordinary shares immediately after the IPO, from the IPO offering.

    Operating expenses totaled US$12.4 million, increasing 30% year over year.

    • Funding cost was $6.6 million, increasing 18% year over year.
    • Non-funding operating expenses were US$5.8 million, increasing 47% year over year, primarily due to an increase in labor expenses, professional services and share-based compensation.

    Operating income was US$1.2 million, compared to US$0.1 million for the same period last year, reflecting the scalability of the Antalpha Prime platform.

    Net income was $1.5 million, increasing 423% year-over-year. Non-GAAP net income was US$1.8 million, increasing 554% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $2.5 million, increasing 392% year-over-year. For more information regarding non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA, see “Non-GAAP Measures” and “Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures.”

    Financial Guidance
    For the second quarter of 2025, Antalpha expects revenues to be between US$16 million and US$17 million, representing a growth rate of 40% to 50% year over year, assuming Bitcoin price remains at the $100,000 level.

    The above forecast is based on the current market conditions and reflects Antalpha’s current and preliminary view, which is subject to substantial uncertainties. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

    Non-GAAP Measures
    In addition to financial measures presented under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, Antalpha evaluates non-GAAP financial measures such as non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin.

    The Company believes these adjustments eliminate the effects of certain non-cash and/or non-recurring items that the Company believes complements management’s understanding of its ongoing operational results. However, non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in its industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of its non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Antalpha will continually evaluate the usefulness of such metrics. The Company believe that non-GAAP measures may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and with how management views its financial performance.

    Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) represents net income before interest (if non-operating), taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expenses. Its funding cost is an operating item and a significant component of its business. As such, it is not excluded from adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents the ratio between adjusted EBITDA and revenue.

    Non-GAAP net income represents net income before share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP operating income represents operating income before share-based compensation expenses.

    For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, please see “Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures.”

  • MIL-OSI: xSuite Introduces New Feature for E-Invoice Delivery from SAP

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    The cloud-based e-invoicing platform xSuite eDNA now supports both the receipt and transmission of e-invoices directly from SAP

    Ahrensburg/Germany, June 17, 2025 – In many countries around the world—including Germany, Poland, and France in Europe—electronic invoicing will become mandatory within the next one to five years. To support SAP users in this transition, xSuite Group is now offering an extension to its xSuite eDNA (electronic Document Network Adapter) product. This extension enables the creation and dispatch of outbound invoices from SAP SD in XML formats compliant with EN 16931. The cloud-based e-invoicing platform supports a wide range of e-invoicing formats and serves as a central hub between SAP and the global world of electronic invoicing. It is compatible with both SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC.

    Since June 2024, xSuite eDNA has supported the receipt of various e-invoicing formats via the Peppol network, transferring invoice data directly into the customer’s SAP system to enable fast and efficient processing of inbound e-invoices.

    Now, xSuite eDNA also enables the creation and delivery of e-invoices from SAP. To achieve this, an xSuite add-on (transport) is installed in the SAP SD module. This add-on leverages SAP’s message control functionality. As soon as an invoice is created in SAP, the relevant data is captured via message control and sent to the cloud-based xSuite eDNA platform. The platform performs various validation steps in accordance with EN 16931—such as checking data integrity, mandatory fields, data types, and business rules. Format conversion and all subsequent processing take place entirely in the cloud. Any updates or enhancements (e.g., new e-invoice formats or versions) are implemented centrally in the cloud and are immediately available to all customers. This significantly reduces maintenance efforts on the customer side and ensures high flexibility.

    xSuite eDNA offers two transmission options: via email in formats such as BIS Billing, ZUGFeRD, and XRechnung (with more formats planned), and via the Peppol network. The portfolio of supported countries and portals is being continuously expanded with a strategic focus. Currently available networks and formats include:

    • Peppol (various countries and formats)
    • SdI – Sistema di Interscambio / Fattura PA (Italy)
    • ANAF – Agenția Națională de Administrare Fiscală / RO e-Factura (Romania)

  • MIL-OSI: Prospera Energy Announces Operations Update

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CALGARY, Alberta, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Prospera Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PEI, OTC: GXRFF) (“Prospera”, “PEI” or the “Corporation”)

    Prospera Energy remains committed to providing stakeholders with transparent, timely, and data-driven updates on operational performance and field developments. This monthly report delivers key insights into the company’s production trends, optimization initiatives, and strategic advancements. All production figures represent the Company’s gross sales, reported in accordance with NI 51-101 and applicable industry standards.

    Prospera continues to demonstrate strong operational performance, averaging gross production of 880 boe/d (94% oil) from June 1st to June 15th. This sustained growth follows successful spring break-up maintenance, Cuthbert water tank repairs, and extensive well optimizations completed in late May after lease roads dried up and became accessible. This marks the sixth consecutive operations update reporting production growth. Notably, these figures exclude production from the recently acquired White Tundra Petroleum assets, which is pending acceptance by the TSXV. A comprehensive well-by-well analysis and waterflood optimization review have yielded valuable insights, which are being actively implemented throughout the summer. Concurrently, Prospera’s service rig is diligently addressing the company’s inventory of over 150 workover and reactivation wells across its heavy oil properties, further enhancing operational efficiency.

    Western Canadian Select (WCS) differentials continue to remain at record-low levels, recently trading at less than $9/bbl under US Benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI). Given Prospera’s predominantly heavy oil production base, these favorable pricing conditions are contributing to enhanced revenue and cash flow. This improved netback supports the Corporation’s strategy to reallocate capital efficiently into high-impact projects, as it finalizes plans for its Q3 and Q4 service rig programs.

    Cuthbert
    Production at the Cuthbert pool has been stable, averaging 350 boe/d (100% oil) from June 1st to June 15th, driven by ongoing well speed-ups and waterflood optimization efforts along with completion of infrastructure upgrades. Two disposal wells underwent injector cleanouts using solvent-based chemicals, yielding promising initial results that enhance out-of-zone water disposal and improve waterflood pattern efficiency and injection volumes. Additionally, an overhaul of the third injection pump has been completed, positioning it for immediate service. A high-impact remediation project on the 16-28 HZ well is underway, including the installation of a downhole bridge plug to isolate a section of the well previously drilled into coal and water, further optimizing operational performance.

    Hearts Hill
    Production at the Hearts Hill pool continues to trend upward, averaging 245 boe/d (89% oil), with oil cuts steadily improving due to effective load fluid recovery, well speed-ups, and ongoing waterflood optimization efforts. The Corporation is conducting a line-by-line review of all pipelines in the area to validate injection volumes, ensure pipeline integrity, and prepare for further field reactivations. Additionally, Prospera is advancing technical studies on conformance gel injections to mitigate water channeling, while exploring uphole potential in zones, including the proven Sparky sand and the prospective Waseca and Rex sands.

    Luseland
    The Corporation continues to report strong production growth at the Luseland pool, averaging production of 179 boe/d (100% oil), bolstered by successful post-spring break-up workovers and reactivations. Notably, the 01-17 well is consistently producing at 15 bbls/d, while the 03-09 well continues to climb, now producing 17 bbls/d with further upside potential through ongoing optimization efforts. The 04-33 well, carefully managed through a significant sand influx, underscores the company’s operational expertise as it is now producing 22 bbls/d. These achievements reinforce Prospera’s strategic focus on reactivating legacy wells with substantial original oil in place (OOIP). By bringing these wells back online, the company is successfully transforming assets previously classified as No Reserves Associated (NRA), with only Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO), into actively producing wells with meaningful Proved Developed Producing (PDP) reserves and associated cash flow.

    Cash Flow and Key Wells Report
    Prospera is pleased to publish its inaugural cash flow and key wells report on the website which will be a monthly report released at the same time as our monthly operational update. Critical information including monthly revenue, operating costs, and field operating cash flows will be reported along with capital expenditures. Additionally, production updates including detailed information and graphs will be shared on numerous key wells as the company enhances its transparency and further proves out its workover and reactivation model.

    Annual General Meeting
    Prospera Energy Inc. invites shareholders to attend its upcoming Annual General Meeting on June 19th at 11:00 AM MST, held at the Calgary Petroleum Club (Trophy Room), 319 5 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2P 0L5. Management will provide an overview of recent operational progress and future initiatives. All stakeholders are encouraged to participate.

    Loan Amendment Update
    The Corporation announces a further amendment to its $11,000,000 promissory note, originally dated June 7, 2024, in collaboration with its principal lender. Following previous increases, an additional $1,200,000 has been added, bringing the total principal amount to $16,700,000. The note retains its original terms, including a 12% interest rate and a two-year maturity, with no other changes. This amendment remains subject to acceptance by the TSXV.

    Shares for Debt
    As previously announced on March 25th, 2025, the Corporation settled $72,765.48 in outstanding interest expense owed to debenture holders through the issuance of 1,455,309 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share. The securities are subject to a four month hold period from the date of closing. The transaction was approved by the TSX Venture Exchange.

    About Prospera
    Prospera Energy Inc. is a publicly traded Canadian energy company specializing in the exploration, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Prospera is dedicated to optimizing recovery from legacy fields using environmentally safe and efficient reservoir development methods and production practices. The company’s core properties are strategically located in Saskatchewan and Alberta, including Cuthbert, Luseland, Hearts Hills, and Brooks. Prospera Energy Inc. is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol PEI and the U.S. OTC Market under GXRFF.

    Prospera reports gross production at the first point of sale, excluding gas used in operations and volumes from partners in arrears, even if cash proceeds are received. Gross production represents Prospera’s working interest before royalties, while net production reflects its working interest after royalty deductions. These definitions align with ASC 51-324 to ensure consistency and transparency in reporting.

  • MIL-OSI: TORRAS Announces the Launch of Q3 Air Series: A Refined Evolution in Stand-Based Phone Case Design

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TORRAS, a longstanding innovator in the stand-style phone case category, today officially introduced its latest model—the Q3 Air Series. As the third-generation iteration in TORRAS’s flagship lineup, the Q3 Air Series reflects a continued commitment to thoughtful design, user-focused functionality, and aesthetic versatility.

    Designed for Evolving Lifestyles

    Engineered for iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max and the forthcoming iPhone 16 Pro / Pro Max, the Q3 Air Series targets users who seek a balance between protection, practicality, and refined style. The design caters especially to individuals between the ages of 33 and 55, whose routines often span professional, personal, and outdoor settings.

    Drawing from contemporary fashion influences, the Q3 Air combines technical performance with visual sophistication. The case is intended to function seamlessly across diverse environments—from workspaces and city commutes to travel and leisure—without compromising on elegance or durability.

    Structural Enhancements and Materials

    The Q3 Air Series introduces an updated air-cushioned architecture, strategically integrated at the top and bottom edges for improved shock absorption. Side panels feature a lattice-textured finish to enhance grip and handling.

    On the back, TORRAS retains its recognizable Guardian-style panel, now upgraded with a proprietary Tora-Smooth® coating and fingerprint-resistant surface treatment. The materials are selected for durability while offering a refined tactile experience.

    At the center of the case is an enhanced version of TORRAS’s 360-degree rotating stand. This mechanism remains flush with the case when not in use and allows users to rotate and lock the stand at multiple angles—providing flexibility in both portrait and landscape orientations.

    Motion-Inspired Features

    This generation of the Q3 series integrates a new internal airbag-inspired system, a design choice influenced by trends in activewear and ergonomics. The objective: to mirror the comfort and adaptability of performance gear within a compact everyday accessory.

    Anti-friction grip points are positioned at natural contact zones along the case’s surface, reducing the likelihood of accidental drops. A ring-shaped air cushion also encircles the camera lens for added impact resistance and abrasion protection.

    Color Variants: Subtle Expression Through Design

    The Q3 Air Series debuts with three distinctive color options:

    Lava Red – A vivid, assertive hue designed to convey energy and focus.

    Glacier Sprint – A cool, calming tone inspired by alpine landscapes and outdoor tranquility.

    Shadow Black – A muted, minimalist classic intended to complement both professional and rugged environments.

    Continuing a Legacy of Functional Design

    With the Q3 Air Series, TORRAS continues its approach to case design as more than just protection—it is an integrated lifestyle accessory. The product reflects the brand’s design ethos: offering adaptable, long-lasting solutions grounded in real-world user needs.

    The Q3 Air Series is available through TORRAS’s official channels and authorized retail partners beginning this month.

  • MIL-OSI: EngageLab Empowers Tea Beverage Brand Global Expansion with Customer Engagement Solution

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EngageLab, a leading omni-channel customer engagement platform provider, is proud to announce its successful partnership with a prominent Chinese tea beverage brand, supporting the company’s global expansion through EngageLab’s high-delivery rate AppPush notification capabilities. This Chinese new tea beverage brand has recently achieved a significant breakthrough in overseas markets by presenting Eastern tea culture through a modern lens. Built on a foundation of premium original leaf tea, the brand has strategically expanded across global markets through carefully tailored localization strategies. The company has successfully established thousands of stores across more than 100 countries and regions, positioning itself as a leading Chinese brand in the fresh-made tea beverage sector throughout Southeast Asia, North America, and other key markets worldwide.

    With rapid business growth and global expansion, the brand encountered challenges in its overseas notification services, such as unstable channel quality and unreliable message delivery. These issues impacted user experience and the efficiency of global operations.

    To address these challenges, the brand partnered with EngageLab, adopting its AppPush solution to comprehensively optimize overseas messaging services and achieve three major improvements:

    • Superior Delivery Capabilities Supporting Global Expansion
      As the brand expanded to over 100 countries, especially in emerging markets like Southeast Asia, complex network environments posed challenges to efficient communication. EngageLab AppPush integrated international mainstream system channels such as FCM and APNS, along with major smartphone manufacturer push channels including Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, vivo, and self-built enhanced channels. This improved message delivery rates by approximately 40%, providing robust technical support for global operations.
    • Intelligent Cross-Regional Push Notifications Enabling Localized Operations
      Operating across diverse countries and regions, the brand faced varying user needs and operational strategies. EngageLab AppPush’s dynamic AppKey switching function brought tremendous convenience. When users switch countries within the app, the SDK can apply corresponding country/regional SDK configurations through simple API calls. This enables the brand to flexibly develop and implement independent push strategies, user behavior tracking, and marketing campaigns for different markets, without the need to develop and maintain multiple app versions, significantly reducing development and maintenance costs and enhancing regional market responsiveness.
    • Global Multi-Data Center Layout Ensuring Compliant Operations
      In a global environment where data sovereignty and privacy protection are highly valued, compliant handling of user data is crucial for international enterprises. EngageLab has deployed distributed data centers in multiple strategic locations worldwide (including Singapore, Virginia USA, Frankfurt Germany, Hong Kong China, etc.), providing robust localized data compliance solutions. The brand can intelligently select the most appropriate data storage and processing nodes based on users’ regions, strictly adhering to local privacy regulatory requirements.

    About EngageLab
    EngageLab is a world-leading AI-powered omnichannel customer engagement solution provider, unites technology and versatility to offer seamless customer interactions across every channel, including Email, AppPush, WebPush, OTP, SMS and WhatsApp Business. It empowers businesses to build lasting relationships and achieve higher conversions and retention.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Palo Alto, California, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Point, a leading home equity investment platform, proudly announces a significant milestone: funding its 15,000th homeowner. This achievement underscores Point’s commitment to providing innovative financial solutions, enabling homeowners across the U.S. to access over $1.5 billion in home equity.

    “Reaching 15,000 funded homeowners is more than just a number; it’s a testament to our mission of financial inclusivity,” said Eddie Lim, CEO and cofounder of Point. “We’ve seen firsthand how accessing home equity can transform lives, whether it’s eliminating or consolidating debt, funding education, or navigating financial hardships, without monthly payments. Our growth reflects homeowners’ trust in us to help them achieve their financial goals.”

    Since its inception, Point has revolutionized the way homeowners leverage their property’s value through its flagship product, the Home Equity Investment (HEI). Unlike traditional loans, the HEI offers homeowners a lump sum in exchange for a share in their home’s future appreciation, with no monthly payments and a 30-year term to settle the investment. This model has proven especially beneficial for those who might not qualify for conventional financing due to credit constraints or variable income streams.

    This milestone comes on the heels of Point’s most recent securitization, a $248 million rated transaction completed in partnership with funds managed by Blue Owl Capital. The deal was significantly oversubscribed, securing more than $2 billion in investor orders and marking Point’s fourth rated and largest securitization to date. The strong investor demand reflects the growing institutional appetite for Home Equity Investments and validates the performance and scalability of Point’s platform. These transactions not only provide capital to fund more homeowners but also demonstrate increasing confidence in HEIs as a maturing, mainstream asset class.

    STMicroelectronics introduces advanced Human Presence Detection solution to enhance laptop and PC user experience

    • New technology delivers more than 20% power consumption reduction per day in addition to improved security and privacy
    • ST solution combines market leading Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors and unique AI algorithms for a seamless user experience

    Geneva, Switzerland, June 17, 2025 — STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, introduces a new Human Presence Detection (HPD) technology for laptops, PCs, monitors and accessories, delivering more than 20% power consumption reduction per day in addition to improved security and privacy. ST’s proprietary solution combines market-leading FlightSense™ Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors with unique AI algorithms to deliver a hands-free fast Windows Hello authentication; and delivers a range of benefits such as longer battery lifetime, and user-privacy or wellness notifications.

    “Building on the integration of ST FlightSense technology in more than 260 laptops and PC models launched in recent years, we are looking forward to see our new HPD solution contributing to make devices more energy-efficient, secure, and user-friendly,” said Alexandre Balmefrezol, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Imaging Sub-Group at STMicroelectronics. “As AI and sensor technology continue to advance, with greater integration of both hardware and software, we can expect to see even more sophisticated and intuitive ways of interacting with our devices, and ST is best positioned to continue to lead this market trend.”

    “Since 2023, 3D sensing in consumer applications has gained new momentum, driven by the demand for better user experiences, safety, personal robotics, spatial computing, and enhanced photography and streaming. Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology is expanding beyond smartphones and tablets into drones, robots, AR/VR headsets, home projectors, and laptops. In 2024, ToF modules generated $2.2 billion in revenue, with projections reaching $3.8 billion by 2030 (9.5% CAGR). Compact and affordable, multizone dToF sensors are now emerging to enhance laptop experiences and enable new use cases,” said Florian Domengie, PhD Principal Analyst, Imaging at Yole Group.

    The 5th generation turnkey ST solution
    By integrating hardware and software components by design, the new ST solution is a readily deployable system based on FlightSense 8×8 multizones Time-of-Flight sensor (VL53L8CP) complemented by proprietary AI-based algorithms enabling functionalities such as human presence detection, multi-person detection, and head orientation tracking. This integration creates a unique ready-to-use solution for OEMs that requires no additional development for them.

    This 5th generation of sensors also integrates advanced features such as gesture recognition, hand posture recognition, and wellness monitoring through human posture analysis. 

    ST’s Human Presence Detection (HPD) solution enables enhanced features such as:

    • Adaptive Screen Dimming tracks head orientation to dim the screen when the user isn’t looking, reducing power consumption by more than 20%.
    • Walk-Away Lock & Wake-on-Attention automatically locks the device when the user leaves and wakes up upon return, improving security and convenience.
    • Multi-Person Detection alerts the user if someone is looking over their shoulder, enhancing privacy.

    Tailored AI algorithm
    STMicroelectronics has implemented a comprehensive AI-based development process that from data collection, labeling, cleaning, AI training and integration in a mass-market product. This effort relied on thousands of data-logs from diverse sources, including contributions from workers who uploaded personal seating and movement data over several months, enabling the continuous refinement of AI algorithms.

    One significant achievement is the transformation of a Proof-Of-Concept (PoC) into a mature solution capable of detecting a laptop user’s head orientation using only 8×8 pixels of distance data. This success was driven through a meticulous development process that included four global data capture campaigns, 25 solution releases over the course of a year, and rigorous quality control of AI training data. The approach also involved a tailored pre-processing method for VL53L8CP ranging data, and the design of four specialized AI networks: Presence AI, HOR (Head Orientation) AI, Posture AI, and Hand Posture AI. Central to this accomplishment was the VL53L8CP ToF sensor, engineered to optimize the Signal-To-Noise ratio (SNR) per zone, which played a critical role in advancing these achievements.

    Enhanced user experience & privacy protection
    The ToF sensor ensures complete user privacy without capturing images or relying on the camera, unlike previous versions of webcam-based solutions.

    Adaptive Screen Dimming:

    • Uses AI algorithms to analyze the user’s head orientation. If the user is not looking at the screen, the system gradually dims the display to conserve power.
    • Extends battery life by minimizing energy consumption.
    • Optimizes for low power consumption with AI algorithms and can be seamlessly integrated into existing PC sensor hubs.

    Walk-Away Lock (WAL) & Wake-on-Approach (WOA):

    • The ToF sensor automatically locks the PC when the user moves away and wakes it upon their return, eliminating the need for manual interaction.
    • This feature enhances security, safeguards sensitive data, and offers a seamless, hands-free user experience.
    • Advanced filtering algorithms help prevent false triggers, ensuring the system remains unaffected by casual passerby.

    Multi-Person Detection (MPD):

    • The system detects multiple people in front of the screen and alerts the user if someone is looking over their shoulder.
    • Enhances privacy by preventing unauthorized viewing of sensitive information.
    • Advanced algorithms enable the system to differentiate between the primary user and other nearby individuals.

    Technical highlights: VL53L8CP: ST FlightSense 8×8 multizones ToF sensor. https://www.st.com/en/imaging-and-photonics-solutions/time-of-flight-sensors.html

    • AI-based: compact, low-power algorithms suitable for integration into PC sensor hubs.
    • A complete ready-to-use solution includes hardware (ToF sensor) and software (AI algorithms).
