ArkBio Announces China IND Approval for its Antiviral Drug-Fc Conjugate (AFC) Candidate AK0406 for Influenza Prophylaxis

SHANGHAI, Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Ark Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“ArkBio”) today announced that the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for AK0406 injection, the company’s first long-acting antiviral drug‑Fc conjugate (AFC) candidate for influenza prophylaxis, has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China, making AK0406 the first influenza AFC drug to enter clinical development in China.

AK0406 is a new generation, long-acting antiviral agent discovered and developed by ArkBio. By precisely conjugating a highly potent antiviral small molecule with an antibody Fc fragment, AK0406 is designed to provide sustained pre‑ and post‑exposure prophylaxis and potential therapeutic benefits, addressing the high unmet needs for influenza prevention during peak seasons. Preclinical data show that AK0406 exerts broad-spectrum, high-potency activity against both influenza A and B viruses, maintains immune effector function, and provides prolonged exposure. Compared with other AFC molecules, AK0406 is engineered to offer an optimized profile for both prophylaxis and treatment of influenza infection.

On the global clinical development front, ArkBio received approval from the Australian Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) in February 2026 to initiate a phase I clinical trial of AK0406. Enrollment and dosing of healthy adult volunteers in all cohorts have been completed in Australia, and the trial has now entered the follow-up phase.

Influenza remains a critical global public health challenge. Current flu preventive measures centered on seasonal vaccines face significant limitations, including the inability to effectively address antigenic drift, uncertainty in annual strain prediction and matching, and substantially reduced protective efficacy among elderly and immunocompromised populations, leaving significant unmet clinical needs.

ArkBio will maintain close interactions with the CDE to advance the clinical development of AK0406 in China, while continuing the follow-up work of the ongoing phase I study in Australia. By pursuing a parallel, dual‑track development pathway in China and globally, the company aims to accelerate the clinical program to deliver a safer, more effective, and convenient solution for influenza prevention worldwide.

Project Pigeon Consortium Launches APAC Working Group to Advance Governance Standards for Permissionless Blockchains

Joint initiative by Elliptic, Digital Asset Association (DAA), Responsible Fintech Institute (RFI) and Baker McKenzie Wong & Leow to establish an industry standard risk-management framework, supporting safe innovation and Group 1 crypto asset treatment.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Project Pigeon consortium, jointly convened by Elliptic, the Digital Asset Association (DAA), the Responsible Fintech Institute (RFI) and Baker McKenzie, today announced the formation of “Project Pigeon: A Working Group for Permissionless Blockchain Governance in APAC”. This regional initiative is dedicated to advancing safe, compliant innovation on public blockchain networks, providing financial institutions with the frameworks necessary to operate securely within rapidly evolving regulatory landscapes.

The initiative takes its name from carrier pigeons, reflecting the consortium’s goal of developing trusted governance frameworks that enable secure communication and value transfer across open, decentralized blockchain networks.

The launch of the working group follows the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) April 2026 Consultation Paper regarding the prudential treatment of crypto assets on permissionless blockchains. A primary objective of Project Pigeon is to help banks and financial institutions assess and address regulatory considerations raised in the consultation through the development of a framework structured around four fundamental risk pillars, each spearheaded by a designated consortium co-convenor:

• Governance Risk (led by RFI): Addressing node concentration, maintaining governance transparency, and ensuring strict accountability within decentralized ecosystems.
• Technology Risk (led by DAA): Mitigating threats such as 51% attacks, protocol vulnerabilities, smart contract exploits, and broader infrastructure risks.
• Settlement Finality Risk (led by Baker McKenzie): Evaluating consensus mechanisms, reconciling probabilistic versus deterministic finality, and establishing the legal certainty of settlement.
• AML/CFT Risk (led by Elliptic): Tackling challenges related to pseudonymity, implementing effective sanctions screening, leveraging advanced on-chain analytics, ensuring Travel Rule compliance and managing the linkage to prudential risk.

The working group brings together a diverse coalition of banks, crypto-native firms, digital asset exchanges, and legacy financial institutions operating across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Underscoring the systemic importance of this initiative, Project Pigeon has established observer and consulting roles for leading regulatory bodies.

Baker McKenzie serves as the official secretariat to the consortium, providing comprehensive editorial oversight, supporting engagement with regulators, and managing the consortium’s governance processes. This structured approach includes bi-weekly plenary sessions, focused meetings for the four workstream sub-groups, quarterly regulatory checkpoints, and monthly reviews conducted by the central Steering Committee comprising DAA, RFI, Elliptic, and Baker McKenzie.

The culmination of the consortium’s efforts will be an authoritative industry guide, “Pigeon Permissionless Blockchains”, which will set out a practical, end-to-end risk management lifecycle framework and executable guidelines for risk and compliance managers, referencing existing industry standards and regulatory guidance. This comprehensive publication will feature a detailed risk taxonomy, catalogues of risk events, preventive and detective controls, governance mechanisms, methodologies for controls testing, and protocols for issues management and reporting. Alongside the guide, the consortium will release a dedicated regulatory briefing paper tailored for supervisors across the APAC region. The target publication date for the industry guide is set for Q1 2027.

Underscoring the drive toward a unified framework, the consortium’s workstream leads commented:

“Robust governance is the missing link between decentralized ideals and institutional reality. Our focus is on creating transparent accountability mechanisms that satisfy regulatory expectations without stifling innovation.”

Chia Hock Lai, Chairman, Responsible Fintech Institute (RFI)

“The underlying technology of public chains is immensely powerful, yet undeniably complex. We are dedicated to producing actionable controls that shield financial institutions from protocol vulnerabilities and adversarial network actions.”

Jag Foo, ExCo Member & Chair of Digital Assets Security Subcommittee, Digital Assets Association (DAA)

“Legal certainty is fundamental to the functioning of financial markets. As the use of permissionless blockchain networks continues to evolve, there is a growing need for greater clarity around the legal and governance considerations among financial institutions. Project Pigeon provides a platform to examine these issues and contribute to the development of practical approaches for the industry.”

Stephanie Magnus, Principal, Financial Services Regulatory and FinTech, Baker McKenzie Wong & Leow

“As the adoption of permissionless chains accelerates, so too must our approach to financial crime compliance. By embedding advanced on-chain analytics and Travel Rule compliance directly into the operational lifecycle, we are ensuring that transparency and security go hand-in-hand.”

June Lau, APAC Head of Policy and Regulatory Affairs, Elliptic

Interested financial institutions, technology providers and regulatory bodies are invited to participate in the working groups or contribute to the public consultation phase. To express interest, contribute expertise or receive official updates, please contact the Project Pigeon secretariat.

Bank of America Enters into a Joint Venture Agreement with Jio Financial Services Limited to Acquire up to 49.9% in Jio Credit Limited

Key points

• Bank of America’s investment, including the equity shares and warrants (if fully subscribed), would be ₹18,268 crore (~$1.9 billion USD^[1]).   
• Jio Credit receives further capital to support its growth in India and expertise of a global financial services firm. 
• The investment supports Bank of America’s commitment to its global franchise with a strong local partner in India.

MUMBAI, India and NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL) and Bank of America Corporation (BofA) today announced that they have signed a definitive agreement whereby BofA will acquire up to a total of 49.9% interest as a joint venture partner in JFSL’s wholly-owned NBFC (non-bank financial company) lending subsidiary, Jio Credit Limited (JCL) through a preferential allotment of equity shares and warrants.

The venture will combine JFSL’s digital reach and knowledge of the Indian market with BofA’s global financial services expertise. Both companies share the common vision of improving clients’ financial lives through state-of-the-art digital access, innovation, access to credit and strong risk management.

JCL is among India’s fastest growing NBFCs, having built assets under management (AUM) of ₹30,667 crore (~$3.2 billion USD) as of June 30, 2026, within just two years of operations. The digital-first lender is focused on bridging the gap between traditional finance and modern accessibility through its diverse suite of lending products, with ambitions to responsibly continue its growth trajectory by providing borrowing opportunities across existing and new products within India.      

The investment will allow BofA to expand its participation in the rapidly growing Indian market, the world’s fastest growing major economy at double the global growth rate, while doing so with a partner that has local expertise and differentiated capabilities.

As India’s financial sector expands alongside the nation’s robust economic growth, the partnership positions the venture to capitalize on emerging growth opportunities in the industry. Beyond securing long-term capital for sustainable loan growth, the collaboration provides the venture with access to BofA’s expertise related to financial services, governance, risk management, and technology.

The investment of up to ₹18,268 crore (~$1.9 billion USD), will be made through a preferential allotment of equity shares and warrants. The transaction initially gives Bank of America a 26.5% equity interest in JCL, which can go up to 49.9% upon exercise of the warrants. The transaction is subject to regulatory and statutory approvals.  

Pursuant to the transaction, JCL’s Board of Directors will have equal representation from both JFSL and BofA. The existing management team of JCL will continue driving the strategy and operations at the NBFC and JCL will continue to be consolidated as a subsidiary in JFSL’s financial reporting.

Commenting on the proposed partnership, Mukesh D. Ambani said: “Our country’s progress toward becoming Viksit Bharat by 2047 demands a financial ecosystem built on scale, trust, and inclusivity. Central to this journey is the democratization of responsible credit — characterised by lower costs for the customer, absolute transparency, and expanding access to capital as our economy grows.

Jio Financial Services is committed to making finance more seamless and simpler for Indians than ever before, leveraging new technology and anchored in the highest standards of governance. Our strategic partnership with Bank of America is a pivotal milestone in this mission. By combining our digital reach with Bank of America’s global pedigree, we will eliminate friction in credit delivery for all Indians, empowering them to chart a prosperous and inclusive path forward for the entire nation.”

Brian Moynihan, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Bank of America said: “India is one of the world’s most important growth markets, and this investment reflects our confidence in its future, a market we know well and have supported for decades. We are excited to become a partner with Jio Financial Services, which has achieved remarkable scale in a short period of time, growing to more than $3 billion in assets under management in just two years.

By combining Jio Financial Services’ scale, local expertise and customer base with Bank of America’s global reach, digital experience and close to 250 years of leadership in banking, we can help expand access to financial services and support India’s continued economic growth.”

Relativity Launches claiR, Giving Lawyers Conversational Command of the Full Depth of Their Legal Data

News Summary

• With Relativity claiR, lawyers can ask questions on the complete RelativityOne matter record in plain language and get grounded, cited, auditable answers, turning the platform legal teams already trust into an organization-wide intelligence advantage. 
• Lawyers gain new, streamlined access to the full power of Relativity’s AI platform, without complexity or a learning curve, empowering them to make sharper decisions, develop more effective strategies and strengthen their work product.
• Three of the world’s leading law firms, A&O Shearman, Foley & Lardner LLP and K&L Gates are the first to put claiR to work through Relativity’s Advanced Access program.
• This is the latest advancement in Relativity’s strategy of expanding RelativityOne to meet legal teams where and how they work, following its launches earlier this year of Relativity aiR for Case Strategy and aiR Assist, its planned move into Microsoft Word through the acquisition of Gavel, extending Model Context Protocol integrations, and investments in emerging legal tech innovators through its Rel Labs investment arm.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced Relativity claiR, a conversational AI experience designed specifically for lawyers, providing a direct, intuitive and instant way to work with all the data at the center of their most critical matters without the complexity. claiR can empower lawyers and their teams to reach better-informed decisions sooner, where and how they work. And because the data stays in RelativityOne, it removes the time and increased risk that can come with moving sensitive data between systems.

“This isn’t lawyers learning their way around RelativityOne. It’s a fundamentally new way to get them straight to the answers in their most consequential legal data,” said Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. “Conversational AI is now how people everywhere expect to work, and with claiR, for the first time, the full richness of a matter’s data is directly in lawyers’ hands, rather than something they wait on technical legal data teams to surface. claiR draws on the full power of our industry-leading aiR suite and legal data intelligence platform, and on the record itself for high-stakes legal work that has to stand up in court, before boards and before regulators.”

Three of the world’s leading law firms, A&O Shearman, Foley & Lardner LLP and K&L Gates are among the first to participate in Advanced Access for claiR, a program that plays a key role in how Relativity shapes and refines solutions ahead of general availability planned for early 2027. Once generally available, claiR is expected to be included in RelativityOne integrated pricing at no additional cost.

Better-informed decisions, grounded in the full depth of data

Lawyers can now put the full power of RelativityOne to work in plain language, from the moment a matter opens. Relativity claiR reasons across the full scale of that matter: millions of documents, their metadata, and the connections between them. That foundation can empower lawyers to drive better outcomes, including earlier insight, sharper strategy and more confident decisions, whether the work is litigation, an investigation or a regulatory response.

“A&O Shearman’s commitment to innovation is longstanding—we brought RelativityOne in-house in 2017 and were one of the very earliest firm-wide adopters of generative AI in early 2023,” said Calum Burnett, Partner and Global Co-Head of Litigation & Investigations at A&O Shearman. “AI is now integral to how we work and we are excited to help shape Relativity’s new self-service solution for lawyers. It provides powerful, auditable AI analysis to help our lawyers in their day-to-day work, enhancing our ability to provide insightful and trusted strategic advice to our clients.”

“What’s most useful about claiR is that it lets our lawyers get to the facts faster and identify issues sooner so we can deliver more timely strategic counsel to our clients,” said David Simon, Foley & Lardner LLP litigation partner and member of the firm’s AI Steering Committee. “This tool allows us to work more efficiently. It’s a practical way to use conversational AI within our existing legal workflows to better serve clients and provide greater value.”

Defensible by design and decades of legal expertise

Built on each customer’s own matter data already stored and managed within RelativityOne, the experience grounds every answer and resulting associated work product in a complete, secure system of record shaped over decades of legal work. Most legal AI tools require organizations to move data into a separate environment before the AI can work on it. claiR brings the AI to the data instead. It reasons across everything, with the permissions, security and defensibility of RelativityOne intact.

“claiR doesn’t replace legal judgment, it gives lawyers more complete access to the facts and insights that judgment depends on,” said Chris Brown, President of Relativity. “When a lawyer asks a question in claiR, the answer draws on everything in the matter, at the scale at which legal work actually happens. Nothing is exported or sampled, the answer comes from the record itself, right where the data lives.”

Because the data never leaves RelativityOne, using claiR helps mitigate the exposure risk that can come with moving sensitive material into external tools, and every data point is transparent and auditable.

“This tool, when deployed to its full potential, will further revolutionize discovery for large, complex volumes of electronic data—leveraging a sophisticated framework of approved platforms, verified outputs and clear accountability,” said Julie Anne Halter, Seattle Office Managing Partner and Practice Group Coordinator for the firm’s e-Discovery Analysis & Technology practice at K&L Gates. “As an AI-forward firm, this type of innovation at scale supports our broader strategy to deploy advanced technology to our strategic clients’ advantage, pairing adoption with governance and finding efficiencies that accentuate our lawyers’ experience.”

By giving lawyers and the technical teams who support them one shared project and system of record, claiR can also strengthen the collaboration between them. Each side’s work can inform the other, and the whole team can reach decisions faster.

Part of a broader strategy to meet legal professionals where they work

claiR is the latest step in Relativity’s commitment to extending its platform to the surfaces where legal work already happens. Through Relativity’s previous launches this year of Relativity aiR for Case Strategy and aiR Assist, legal teams have compressed early case review from weeks to hours and can ask plain-language questions of their data and get back precise, cited answers in seconds. claiR builds on the foundation aiR Assist establishes and extends it, from indexed document sets to the full depth of a matter, in an experience designed specifically for lawyers.

With its acquisition of Gavel, the company plans to bring AI-native drafting and redlining into Microsoft Word, keeping more of a lawyer’s daily work connected to the data behind it and syncing edits back to RelativityOne to expand reusable knowledge. Through a growing set of integrations built on the Model Context Protocol, legal data and technology teams can handle administrative work, such as setting up matters, selecting workspace templates and managing access, from the AI assistants they already use, in plain language, while the substantive work runs in RelativityOne and the data stays governed.

And via Rel Labs, its innovation hub and investment arm, Relativity is backing legal technology innovators shaping what comes next. Recent investments include Courtroom, a platform that simulates real courtroom decision-makers, Patlytics, a purpose-built platform for intellectual property litigation teams, and Advocacy, an early-stage solution for litigators focused on case strategy, drafting and trial preparation.

GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN PRESSURES EASE IN JULY, BUT SHORTAGES PERSIST AHEAD OF RENEWED STRAIT OF HORMUZ DISRUPTION: GEP GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN VOLATILITY INDEX

• Demand for intermediate goods and raw materials stagnates in July as manufacturers reduced safety-stock building
• Supply shortages remained elevated, leaving production vulnerable to fresh geopolitical shocks
• Asia and North America continued to lead global manufacturing demand, while Europe continues to lag

CLARK, N.J., Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GEP Global Supply Chain Volatility Index — a leading indicator tracking demand conditions, shortages, transportation costs, inventories and backlogs, based on a monthly survey of 27,000 businesses — showed global supply chain pressures eased in July as manufacturers reduced precautionary stockpiling and transportation pressures moderated. However, supply shortages remained elevated and production backlogs continued to build, indicating supply chains had yet to fully recover before the renewed disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.

The survey was mostly conducted before the latest escalation in the Middle East and renewed disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, providing a snapshot of global supply chains immediately before energy prices and geopolitical uncertainty increased again.

Manufacturers scaled back safety-stock building in July following a three-and-a-half-year peak in the second quarter of 2026, suggesting businesses believed supply risks were beginning to ease. Transportation costs also moderated, helping drive the overall improvement in global supply chain conditions.

Despite the easing, reports of critical items in short supply remained elevated globally, while manufacturers continued reporting rising production backlogs caused by missing materials and components. This indicates supply bottlenecks remain unresolved and could worsen if geopolitical tensions persist.

Demand for raw materials and commodities remained strongest across Asia and North America, where manufacturers continued purchasing inputs at a significantly faster pace than other major regions. Europe, by contrast, remained comparatively subdued, reflecting weaker manufacturing order books and lower inventory building.

Interpreting the data:

Index > 0, supply chain capacity is being stretched. The further above 0, the more stretched supply chains are.

Index < 0, supply chain capacity is being underutilized. The further below 0, the more underutilized supply chains are.

JULY 2026 REGIONAL KEY FINDINGS

• ASIA: Index decreased to 1.37, from 1.95, its lowest reading since March. Asian factory purchasing activity slowed sharply in July, driven by China.
  
  
  
  
• NORTH AMERICA: Index fell to 0.76, from 1.17, pointing to a further easing of supply chain pressures faced by North American manufacturers.
  
  
  
  
• EUROPE: Index declines to 0.68, from 1.13, its lowest level since March. Demand for manufacturing inputs shrank further, indicating factory retrenchment across the continent.
  
  
  
  
• U.K.: Sharp reduction in the index to 0.30, from 1.05 as U.K. manufacturers rapidly reduced their procurement activity and ran down their stocks aggressively.

JULY 2026 KEY FINDINGS

• DEMAND: July data indicated a slowdown in factory purchasing volumes. The index’s demand component was its weakest in the year-to-date, driven principally by China and, to a lesser extent, the U.S. The data suggest that the stockpiling-driven boost to demand has faded at the start of the third quarter.
  
  
  
  
• INVENTORIES: Reports of global manufacturers stockpiling raw materials and intermediate products due to price or supply concerns fell for the first time since January, indicating that procurement leaders ran down the inventories they had built up since the Middle East war began.
  
  
  
  
• MATERIAL SHORTAGES: The items in short supply indicator fell only fractionally in July, indicating a limited improvement in the availability of critical manufacturing inputs. Overall, supply shortages remained high by historical standards.    
  
  
  
  
• LABOR SHORTAGES: Manufacturers’ reports of backlogs rising due to staff shortages remained anchored, signaling that labor was not a hindrance to capacity utilization during July.
  
  
  
  
• TRANSPORTATION: The global transportation cost indicator fell again in July, reaching its lowest level since March. That said, data were principally collected prior to global oil prices surging towards the tail-end of the month.

About the GEP Global Supply Chain Volatility Index

The GEP Global Supply Chain Volatility Index is produced by S&P Global and GEP. It is derived from S&P Global’s PMI^® surveys, sent to companies in over 40 countries, totaling around 27,000 companies. The headline figure is a weighted sum of six sub-indices derived from PMI data, PMI Comments Trackers and PMI Commodity Price & Supply Indicators compiled by S&P Global.

• A value above 0 indicates that supply chain capacity is being stretched and supply chain volatility is increasing. The further above 0, the greater the extent to which capacity is being stretched.
  
  
  
  
• A value below 0 indicates that supply chain capacity is being underutilized, reducing supply chain volatility. The further below 0, the greater the extent to which capacity is being underutilized.

A Supply Chain Volatility Index is also published at a regional level for Europe, Asia, North America and the U.K. For more information about the methodology, click here.

ASHBURN, Va., Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), a leading enterprise technology and innovation partner, today announced DXC Workplace Services, a new people-centered, AI-native workplace offering that reimagines the digital workplace around employee outcomes rather than technology.

DXC Workplace Services is enabled by DXC OASIS, the intelligent orchestration platform that transforms managed services through Human+ agentic AI workflows, delivering people-first agentic operations that anticipate employee needs and drive proactive outcomes.

Employees assess workplace technology by their experience and ability to get work done efficiently. Yet many organizations continue to operate fragmented tools, disconnected workflows, and reactive support models that create friction for employees and complexity for IT teams. DXC Workplace Services helps address these challenges by leveraging an experience-led, productivity focused, and AI powered workplace journey approach that helps customers achieve their business outcomes without compromising experience.

DXC Workplace Services applies experience design principles from the outset, helping ensure the workplace solution is intuitive, easier to use, and aligned to established ways of working. The new agentic support experience delivers proactive, intelligent IT support that meets employees where they are and lays the foundation for a better-connected workplace. With Workplace Services, agents and DXC experts deliver support through individual employees’ preferred contact channel —email, chat, or voice— guiding employees and completing tasks for employees for faster, smarter, and easier support. This new people-first support model can help resolve IT issues before they disrupt work, enabling technology to operate more seamlessly in the background while employees stay focused on getting work done.

“Enterprises should not have to choose between advancing business priorities, improving IT efficiency, and delivering a stronger employee experience. We designed DXC Workplace Services to help organizations achieve these objectives simultaneously by aligning workplace experiences to how employees work, reducing friction both within and across employees’ workplace environment to facilitate a seamless, wholistic experience,” said Kelly Candler, Global Offering Lead, Workplace & Business Process Services, DXC Technology.

DXC Workplace Services is built on three core principles to create a holistic workplace experience:

1. Designed around people — Experiences aligned to established employee workflows to reduce friction and support adoption from the outset.
2. Orchestrated across existing investments — A connected workplace environment that helps customers enhance the capabilities of the platforms, devices and services already in place.
3. Powered by Human+ agentic AI — AI, automation, and DXC expertise working together to anticipate employee needs, reduce disruptions, and continuously improve workplace performance.

Together, this approach helps drive measurable business outcomes:

• 40% reduction in operational complexity
• 60% fewer service desk calls
• 50% of device issues resolved before employees notice
• 15+ hours of productivity returned to every employee each month

DXC Workplace Services leverages DXC OASIS’s agentic AI workflows to orchestrate the employee workplace across existing technology investments and deliver intelligent, people-centered workplace operations.

XCOM RAN by Globalstar is recognized for its innovative approach to next generation, private 5G deployment with end-to-end, high-performance connectivity enabling the next generation of physical AI and industrial automation at scale

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As enterprises accelerate the adoption of AI, automation, and other Industry 4.0 technologies, the need for wireless infrastructure that can deliver pervasive, reliable and deterministic connectivity without adding operational complexity has never been greater. XCOM RAN by Globalstar is addresses this challenge through its next-generation private 5G platform, which rethinks conventional network architecture to enable superior connectivity for mobile robotics, connected workers and autonomous operations. As a result, Frost & Sullivan has awarded XCOM RAN the 2026 Global Enabling Technology Leadership Recognition in the Private 5G Network industry.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Enabling Technology Leadership Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The recognition honors forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.

XCOM RAN stands out for its ability to simplify the deployment and management of private 5G networks while supporting demanding enterprise applications. Its software-defined Supercell architecture enables multiple radio nodes to operate as a unified cell, eliminating traditional handover boundaries and reducing the complexity associated with conventional multi-cell deployments. From a deployment perspective, the Supercell model significantly reduces RF planning and site survey requirements by turning overlapping coverage from a liability into a feature, providing built-in redundancy and resilience without adding complexity.

This architecture, combined with an end-to-end private 5G stack and flexible spectrum options, positions XCOM RAN as ideal for meeting the evolving connectivity requirements of manufacturing, logistics, energy, ports, and other mission-critical environments.

“XCOM RAN’s design philosophy accelerates deployment timelines and supports scaling, demonstrating XCOM RAN’s ability to translate deep technical innovation into practical, enterprise-ready solutions. Their platform addresses congested environments, compatibility issues, cybersecurity threats and the critical need for efficiency,” said Troy M. Morley, Industry Principal at Frost & Sullivan.

Globalstar has strengthened XCOM RAN through its architectural innovation, end-to-end platform integration, and spectrum flexibility. The solution incorporates the XCOM Radio Series, XCOM Core, XCOM Orchestrator, and XCOM Industrial Router, providing enterprises with a cohesive private 5G ecosystem spanning radio access, core networking, management, and device connectivity.

“XCOM RAN combines technical innovation with a practical understanding of enterprise networking deployment requirements,” said Tamer Kadous, General Manager, XCOM RAN Business Unit at Globalstar. “Through our Supercell architecture, integrated private 5G platform, and spectrum-led strategy, we are reshaping how organizations deploy and scale mission-critical wireless connectivity to achieve significant gains through physical AI and industrial automation that power intelligent machines and AI-driven operations.”

Globalstar further differentiates XCOM RAN through its spectrum strategy, supporting the shared spectrum band n48 in the United States, locally licensed band n78 in Europe and Asia, and Globalstar’s exclusively licensed band n53 in more than 13 countries. By combining spectrum, infrastructure, and devices within a turnkey private 5G solution, XCOM RAN helps reduce procurement complexity.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Recognition

Frost & Sullivan’s Best Practices Recognitions honor companies across regional and global markets that exhibit exceptional achievement and consistent excellence in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer experience, and strategic product development. Each recognition is the result of a rigorous analytical process in which Frost & Sullivan industry experts benchmark performance through comprehensive interviews, deep-dive analysis, and extensive secondary research. The goal is to identify true best-in- class organizations that are driving transformative growth and setting new industry standards.
