Equinix Fabric One will deliver any-to-any connectivity across enterprise, cloud and AI environments, with AWS and Google Cloud serving as lead integration partners

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company®, today announced Equinix® Fabric One™, a managed, any-to-any connectivity service designed to simplify how enterprises connect distributed cloud, network and AI environments. The announcement was made at Equinix Horizon, the company's inaugural customer and partner event.

Built to address the networking complexity of the AI era, Equinix Fabric One will leverage open connectivity specifications developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud to support interoperability across distributed cloud, AI and enterprise environments. Customers will simply specify what they need connected and their requirements, and Equinix Fabric One determines and delivers the connectivity required to make it happen. At Horizon, Equinix is also announcing Equinix® Inference Exchange to accelerate enterprise AI infrastructure deployments.

"For decades, enterprise networks have been built one connection at a time for each partner and provider they depend on. That approach doesn't scale in a world of distributed AI that demands dynamic, flexible and real-time connectivity," said Chris Audie, Chief Product Officer, Equinix. "Equinix Fabric One will reduce the complexity that's slowing enterprises down by automatically managing connectivity across distributed architectures, based on the customer's intent."

The Connectivity Modern Enterprises Need

As enterprises need to connect to more clouds, AI providers, partners and locations, every new connection can become a networking project requiring specialized expertise, cross-functional coordination and ongoing management. That complexity can slow deployment and makes it harder for infrastructure to keep pace with the needs of the business.

"Networking is still a key area of enterprise infrastructure that remains heavily dependent on manual design and operations," said Andrew Buss, Senior Research Director, Cloud and Datacenters, Enterprise Infrastructure at IDC. "Organizations are increasingly looking for ways to simplify and automate how connectivity is provisioned and managed across distributed cloud and AI environments, but achieving this transformation remains a major challenge. Advances that enable more integrated automation and intent-driven approaches can reduce operational complexity and risk while supporting the flexibility modern AI and multicloud architectures require."

Equinix Fabric One aims to modernize how enterprises consume connectivity. Instead of assembling and managing networking service component by component, customers simply specify what they need through a portal, APIs, automation workflows, agent-based requests or natural-language prompts. Equinix Fabric One will automatically orchestrate and manage the routing, cloud connectivity, encryption, resiliency and failover required to deliver that outcome as a single managed service.

Equinix Fabric One is built on the company's trusted, neutral exchange of more than 10,500 interconnected businesses, approximately 3,000 cloud and IT providers, and active deployments by eight of the top 10 AI model providers and nine of the top 10 neoclouds. Equinix's neutrality gives enterprises the freedom to connect across providers while keeping their architecture flexible as business and technology needs evolve.

Neutral by Design. Open by Default.

Built on open connectivity specifications, Equinix Fabric One leverages the open source OpenAPI 3.0 Interconnect specification, which AWS and Google Cloud collaborated on to preserve choice and interoperability across distributed AI, cloud and enterprise environments. As enterprises move toward agentic architectures, applications and AI agents can discover, request and provision connectivity programmatically, without manual intervention.

"Customers shouldn't have to figure out how to connect across multiple clouds and AI environments on their own," said Robert Kennedy, Vice President, AWS network services. "They should just define what they need and have it work. Fabric One builds on the open interconnect specification that AWS and Google Cloud helped define and deliver exactly that. A managed service that handles the complexity so customers can focus on their AI workloads, not how everything connects."

"Cross-cloud interoperability is the backbone of the AI era," said Rob Enns, Vice President of Engineering, Cloud Networking, Google Cloud. "We helped establish the open interconnect specification so enterprises no longer have to manage the complexity of multi-cloud networking. By combining Google Cloud's Cross-Cloud Network capabilities with Equinix Fabric One, we are giving customers an automated, intent-driven network that lets them quickly deploy distributed AI workloads."

Connectivity That Evolves with the Enterprise

The world's leading organizations are increasingly seeking connectivity models that allow teams to focus on what they need rather than the complexity of building and managing individual connections.

"As technology environments become more distributed, AI workloads and multicloud architectures require connectivity that is flexible, scalable and easier to manage," said Paul Hager, CEO, Hyundai AutoEver America. "Equinix Fabric One has the potential to accelerate our efforts to meet those needs."

Equinix Fabric One is expected to enter beta later this year, with general availability planned for 2027, initially in North America.

Original HTML

Equinix Inference Exchange combines NVIDIA Enterprise Reference Architectures, Together AI's inference platform and Equinix's global infrastructure to optimize deployment speed, flexibility and cost efficiency

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company®, today announced a significant expansion of its longtime collaboration with NVIDIA to deliver Equinix® Inference Exchange, a distributed AI inference program for global enterprises, alongside a new collaboration with Together AI.

As AI scales across models, providers and geographies, where inference runs is a strategic imperative that determines performance, cost and governance. Equinix Inference Exchange will give enterprises a faster path from AI experimentation to production, with secure, low-latency connectivity to the data, users and ecosystem they depend on.

This collaboration brings together NVIDIA's validated Enterprise Reference Architectures with Together AI's inference platform, supporting more than 200 open-source models. Delivered through Equinix's global data centers, it will provide connectivity to clouds, networks and AI providers through Equinix Fabric®.

The solution will be announced today at Equinix Horizon, the company's inaugural customer and partner event, alongside Equinix® Fabric One™, which will make it easier for enterprises to connect across globally distributed AI environments.

"AI is transforming enterprise technology at extraordinary speed, and the infrastructure decisions enterprises make today will define their competitive position for years to come. Equinix is uniquely positioned to deliver what this moment demands based on our nearly three decades building the trusted exchange where the world's enterprises run, connect and orchestrate their most critical workloads," said Adaire Fox-Martin, Chief Executive Officer and President, Equinix. "Our longtime relationship with NVIDIA delivers the accelerated computing foundation at the heart of modern AI, while Together AI's commitment to open ecosystems gives enterprises the flexibility to scale on their terms. Equinix Inference Exchange will enable architectures that are neutral by design, open by default and engineered for exceptional performance."

"Together AI was built on the conviction that open, accessible AI is what will define the industry moving forward, because enterprises shouldn't have to choose between model performance and operational flexibility," said Vipul Ved Prakash, co-founder and CEO, Together AI. "What we are building with Equinix and NVIDIA proves that model choice and performance are not trade-offs. They are the foundation of enterprise AI done right."

Where Inference Runs Matters

The pace of enterprise AI adoption is outrunning the infrastructure needed to support it. As enterprise AI moves from experimentation to production, inference increasingly needs to run closer to the users, data and applications it serves across clouds, models, providers and geographies. This shift requires enterprises to determine not only how to deploy AI infrastructure, but where it should run and how it connects to the data, applications and workloads it depends on.

Managing these distributed inference deployments introduces significant operational complexity at precisely the moment enterprises need greater control and visibility.

"Performance, cost and governance have become strategic considerations as AI workloads grow more distributed across providers, data sources and environments," said Nick Patience, Vice President & Practice Lead, AI Platforms, The Futurum Group. "Organizations are increasingly focused on where inference runs and how quickly it can be deployed into production. Solutions that simplify inference deployment while preserving flexibility will become increasingly important to achieve business outcomes."

Equinix brings unmatched scale and ecosystem density to this challenge, with more than 280 data centers across 77 metros, 230 cloud on-ramps and over 10,500 businesses interconnected on its neutral exchange. Eight of the top 10 AI model providers and nine of the top 10 AI clouds are deployed with Equinix, underscoring the company's position at the center of the AI ecosystem.

Built for Choice and Flexibility

Together AI is the latest addition to Equinix's expansive AI ecosystem, bringing open-model flexibility and choice to enterprises deploying AI at scale. The solution combines three complementary layers designed to simplify distributed AI inference:

- Equinix provides the infrastructure foundation, including power, advanced cooling and day-two operations, connected through Equinix Fabric to the clouds, networks and AI providers that inference depends on.

- NVIDIA anchors the build with its Enterprise Reference Architectures and AI infrastructure purpose-built to maximize AI factory throughput and minimize token cost.

- Together AI runs the platform on top, supporting both multitenant deployments for shared efficiency and dedicated single-tenant environments for workloads that require dedicated capacity.

Built on Equinix Fabric, the solution will connect to inference providers across major metros worldwide, cutting time-to-first-token. It also will connect to an expansive ecosystem of clouds, networks and AI providers, reducing deployment complexity.

Designed for Modern Enterprise Inference

The solution aims to support a broad range of enterprise inference scenarios, including:

- Metro edge inference: For organizations that need inference running closer to users and data, enabling lower-latency AI experiences while leveraging the security, operational scale and global reach of Equinix.

- Open model migration: For enterprises moving workloads from closed, proprietary models to open-source alternatives to control cost and avoid lock-in, the solution will provide a direct, low-friction path to run that migration in production, with Together AI's open-model platform reachable over the same interconnected fabric enterprises already use to reach their other providers.

- Sovereign AI: For enterprises operating in regulated industries or specific geographies, the solution will enable AI workloads to run in locations that support data residency and sovereignty requirements, providing a simpler path to deploying AI at scale while maintaining control over where data and inference are processed.

Equinix Inference Exchange will be available starting in Q1 2027.

Metabo HPT Introduces Cordless Pneumatic Nailers, a New Category Delivering Pneumatic Speed Without the Hose
Image File
Original HTML

- New professional fastening category pairs pneumatic speed, consistency and confidence with cordless freedom for demanding framing applications

- Developed for North American Pros as part of KOKI Group's broader global launch, the platform helps crews save significant setup and teardown time, move more freely and stay productive without sacrificing the pneumatic performance they trust

BRASELTON, Ga., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Metabo HPT, a KOKI Group company, today introduced Cordless Pneumatics, a first-of-its-kind nailer category for North America, designed to deliver pneumatic speed in a cordless platform. Built for professional crews, Metabo HPT Cordless Pneumatic Nailers combine the speed, power and drive consistency Pros expect from pneumatic fastening and eliminates the hoses and compressors that have traditionally limited productivity on the jobsite.

Today's contractors face tighter schedules, persistent labor shortages and the need to do more with fewer resources. As setup time, mobility, and consistency become increasingly important measures of jobsite performance, crews need tools that improve workflow without introducing new compromises.

"Pros have been telling us for years what they want: pneumatic performance without the hose and compressor," said Joe Leffler, president of Metabo HPT North America. "Cordless Pneumatics is a category designed to give Pros a true pneumatic alternative, one that helps them move faster and work more freely without sacrificing the performance they've relied on for decades."

Cordless Pneumatic Nailers feature Air Spring Drive System Plus™, which stores and releases compressed air within the tool itself to deliver consistent driving force along with the speed and response associated with pneumatic fastening, in a fully cordless platform with no external compressor or hose.

The performance advantage is especially clear in high-volume framing applications such as sub-floor and wall sheathing, where crews need a nailer that can keep pace with pneumatic tools. Cordless Pneumatic models deliver firing speeds of up to six nails per second, helping crews move quickly through repetitive fastening work.

By reducing setup and breakdown time, crews can recover meaningful time across the workday. Even conservative estimates suggest crews may spend as much as 45 minutes per day on compressor setup, hose management and teardown, roughly 150 hours per year for every framer on the job – almost four weeks of work. Removing that equipment burden puts more of the day into productive work and less into jobsite logistics.

Cordless Pneumatic Nailers deliver up to 1,170 nails per charge on 18V Metabo HPT MultiVolt 10.0Ah T-PWR Tabless batteries, giving crews the runtime to work through demanding fastening applications without stopping to swap packs. Select nailer models also accept interchangeable magazines.

Cordless Pneumatics also feature easy on-site serviceability so Pros can complete routine maintenance in as little as 10 minutes instead of waiting on service center turnaround.

"Making cordless nailers match pneumatic performance required solving two engineering problems at once: matching pneumatic driving power and matching pneumatic firing speed," said Bernd Fleischmann, Chief Technology Officer for KOKI Group. "Air Spring Drive System Plus combines the proven air spring architecture that has powered our cordless nailers from the start with a new Enhanced Lift Mechanism that doubles shot frequency over the previous generation. That is what makes true cordless pneumatic performance possible."

Metabo HPT brings decades of pneumatic nailing expertise, power tool innovation and professional user insight to the Cordless Pneumatics category. The company has built its reputation by designing nailers and jobsite tools around the way Pros work, from its pneumatic fastening legacy to its cordless technology development. Metabo HPT has been recognized as the Pro Preferred Brand for pneumatic nailers for 12 consecutive years. That heritage and jobsite understanding helped make cordless pneumatic performance possible.

PRODUCT LINEUP

Allergan Aesthetics Unveils the Layered Beauty Report, Advancing the Global Conversation Around Aesthetic Care

- Building on insights from the U.S. Aesthetics Evolution series, including What Consumers Really Want, new global report explores evolving consumer attitudes toward beauty and aesthetic treatments

NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, today unveiled the Layered Beauty: The New Aesthetic Mindset report, informed by research among more than 12,000 beauty-involved consumers across nine global markets, complemented by practitioner expertise and regional perspectives. The report provides a global perspective on the impact of cultural attitudes toward beauty and aging to evolve the aesthetic treatment landscape and offers healthcare providers new perspectives on the behaviors shaping today's aesthetic patients.

"Aesthetic medicine is increasingly defined by personalization, education and long-term, consultative treatment planning to deliver natural outcomes," said Nicole Mowad-Nassar, Senior Vice President, AbbVie and President, Global Allergan Aesthetics. "Layered Beauty brings together perspectives from consumers and practitioners around the world to better understand these shifts and help inform the future of the global aesthetic treatment landscape."

Inspired by the growing concept of layering across beauty, skincare and wellness, the report explores how consumers are bringing that same philosophy to aesthetic medicine, favoring personalized, multimodal treatment plans over one-time transformations.

"As providers, we're seeing patients approach aesthetics with a much more thoughtful, long-term mindset," said Dr. Jeanette Black, Board-Certified Dermatologist and U.S. contributor to the Layered Beauty Report. "Rather than asking for a single treatment, many patients are looking for personalized plans that evolve with them and complement their overall approach to beauty and wellness. These findings validate what we're experiencing in practice and reinforce the importance of individualized treatment planning and trusted patient-provider relationships."

Key findings from the report include:

- Consumers are shifting from one-time treatments toward personalized, long-term aesthetic plans that evolve alongside their goals and life stages.

OrthoArizona Opens New $25 Million Orthopedic Center in Glendale
Image File
Original HTML

50,000-square-foot campus near Westgate and State Farm Stadium delivers comprehensive musculoskeletal care, surgery, therapy and imaging under one roof

Glendale, Ariz., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OrthoArizona, the largest physician-led orthopedic group in the Southwest, today opened another flagship location: a $25 million, 50,000-square-foot orthopedic center at 9070 W. Glendale Ave., adjacent to Westgate and State Farm Stadium.

The Glendale center combines comprehensive musculoskeletal care, an on-site ambulatory surgery center, physical therapy and advanced imaging including MRI in a single building, carrying patients through the entire journey from first visit to full recovery.

"Since 1994, OrthoArizona has grown by staying close to the communities we serve, and Glendale is the clearest expression of that yet," said Dr. Rajan Bhatt, chief executive officer of OrthoArizona. "We are expanding with discipline, investing in the facilities, technology and people that let our physicians deliver exceptional, compassionate care."

Glendale is the newest addition to a multi-site expansion program OrthoArizona has accelerated under Bhatt, who was appointed chief executive officer in late 2024. In addition to Glendale, the group opened an advanced imaging center in Scottsdale and a 13,000-square-foot comprehensive center in Verrado, and has committed $12.1 million to modernizing and expanding five existing centers across the Phoenix metro area. Deer Valley alone is more than doubling in size, from approximately 12,000 to nearly 26,000 square feet. In all, the group has added approximately 77,000 square feet of clinical space since Bhatt became chief executive officer. A 50,000-square-foot center in Chandler is scheduled to open in summer 2027.

"As a physician-led organization, our decisions start with what patients and providers actually need at the point of care," said Dr. Caleb Behrend, president of OrthoArizona. "Putting the clinic, imaging, surgery and therapy in one building shortens the path from injury to recovery, and it lets our surgeons and therapists work as one team around each patient."

Demand is being driven by the state's demographics and by health care's expanding role in Arizona's economy. More than 19% of Arizona residents are 65 or older, a share projected to reach 22% by 2035, while health care has become the state's largest and fastest-growing employment sector, accounting for one in every three new Arizona jobs, according to the Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity.

Appointed CEO in late 2024, Bhatt brings nearly 20 years of health care leadership to OrthoArizona. A physician entrepreneur, he previously founded and scaled Spectrum Dermatology into Arizona's largest dermatology group before its private equity exit in 2021.

OrthoArizona will host a ribbon cutting and community open house at the Glendale location this fall. For more information, visit orthoarizona.com.

PG&amp;E Launches Strategic Review to Build a Better, More Affordable Energy Future for California Customers
Image File
Original HTML

- PG&E is reviewing all available options to determine how the Company can best be organized and financed to attract the affordable investments needed to deliver the safe, reliable and affordable energy California customers deserve

- To help keep customer costs down, PG&E plans to defer approximately $2 billion of work in 2027, reducing the need for higher-cost borrowing while maintaining critical safety investments and compliance obligations

OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PG&E Corporation (NYSE: PCG) and Pacific Gas and Electric Company ("PG&E" and together, the "Company") today announced actions designed to strengthen the Company's ability to deliver safe, reliable and affordable energy for California customers and attract the investment required to meet the region's growing energy demand.

These actions include a strategic review of the Company's businesses, and short-term updates to its 2027 Capital Plan that reduce near-term financing costs while maintaining safety performance.

"Over the last several years, PG&E has made meaningful progress improving safety, reliability and affordability for our customers. But California's wildfire liability framework continues to create financing risks that drive higher costs, affect customer affordability, and limit investment in the energy system. Something has to change so that we can better serve our customers. That's why we're taking action today," said PG&E Corporation CEO Patti Poppe.

Today's announcement reflects the Company's commitment to continue working with policymakers and regulators to identify durable solutions for customers and California.

Strategic Review

PG&E Corporation's Board of Directors has established a Strategic Review Committee, composed of four independent directors, to guide the Company's strategic review (the "Strategic Review"). The review will evaluate the full range of regulatory, financial, operational and strategic alternatives reasonably available, including the full range of options related to how the Company is organized and financed to best serve its customers and California. Becoming a financially strong, investment-grade company is a foundational objective of the review. As part of the review, the Company will seek input from California regulators, policymakers and stakeholders in pursuit of a sustainable path forward.

The objective is to identify a structure that:

- Maintains industry-leading safety performance;

- Improves customer affordability;

- Strengthens energy system reliability and resiliency; and

- Creates a financially strong, investment-grade company capable of attracting affordable, long-term investment for California's long-term energy needs and that honors all existing labor agreements, pension commitments and claims obligations.

The Company expects to provide updates on the Strategic Review during its regular quarterly earnings calls or when there are material developments.

Revised 2027 Capital Plan

As a short-term step while the Strategic Review is underway, and to help reduce customer costs associated with higher financing expenses, the Company plans to update its 2027 Capital Plan. PG&E expects to defer approximately $2 billion of planned investment while still investing approximately $11.4 billion in California in 2027. As a result, the Company's debt financing needs would be reduced by $2 billion. This directly benefits customers through lower financing costs.

PG&E has identified work that can be delayed or deferred, slowing PG&E's growth and acceleration of some programs. PG&E will continue to fund critical safety programs and maintain current performance on compliance obligations, including its Wildfire Mitigation Plan and safety certification requirements.

Financial Guidance

PG&E Corporation is reaffirming its full-year 2026 non-GAAP Core earnings guidance range of $1.64 to $1.66 per share and is initiating full-year 2027 non-GAAP Core earnings guidance in the range of $1.78 to $1.82 per share.1

Pursuant to the Strategic Review, the Company plans to re-evaluate its long-term non-GAAP Core EPS growth rate along with its 2028-2030 capital investment and rate base outlooks.

Investor Call

PG&E Corporation will hold a conference call at 5:30 a.m. Pacific / 8:30 a.m. Eastern today. The public can access the conference call through a simultaneous webcast. The link is provided below and will also be available from the PG&E Corporation Investor Relations website.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are not historical facts, including statements about PG&E Corporation's Strategic Review and the beliefs, expectations, guidance, estimates, future plans, and strategies of PG&E Corporation and PG&E, including regarding earnings, financial guidance, customer bills, safety performance, system reliability and resilience, credit ratings, and the 2027 Capital Plan. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions, which management believes are reasonable, and on information currently available to management, but are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties. In addition to the risk that these assumptions prove to be inaccurate, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include the timing and outcome of the Strategic Review, including whether any strategic alternative will be identified and approved by PG&E Corporation's Board of Directors, the risk that a strategic alternative may not be able to be consummated, including the possibility that required regulatory approvals from any applicable governmental entities (or any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on such approvals) are not able to be obtained, the possibility that, even if a strategic alternative is achieved, that any or all of the intended benefits of a strategic alternative will not be achieved, and the factors disclosed in PG&E Corporation's and PG&E's joint Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, their most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Form 10-Q), and other reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, which are available on PG&E Corporation's website at www.pgecorp.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. PG&E Corporation and PG&E undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether due to new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

About PG&E Corporation

PG&E Corporation (NYSE: PCG) is a holding company headquartered in Oakland, California. It is the parent company of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, an energy company that serves 16 million Californians across a 70,000-square-mile service area in Northern and Central California.

1 PG&E Corporation is unable to provide GAAP guidance or present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP core earnings, non-GAAP core EPS, or non-GAAP core EPS growth without unreasonable effort because specific line items, which may be significant, are not estimable. For instance, amortization of the Wildfire Fund contribution asset, the impacts of regulatory decisions, special tax items, and wildfire-related costs, net of recoveries, are difficult to predict due to various factors outside of management's control.

Frost &amp; Sullivan released White Paper on Global Solar Generator and Plug-in Solar Storage Industry
Original HTML

Frost & Sullivan released White Paper on Global Solar Generator and Plug-in Solar Storage Industry

SHANGHAI, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan has released the White Paper on Global Solar Generator and Plug-in Solar Storage Industry, providing a comprehensive review of the market's development, safety framework, competitive landscape and future trends. According to the white paper, growing demand for household backup power, outdoor electricity use, self-consumption and greater energy independence is accelerating the evolution of solar generators and plug-in solar storage from scenario-specific supplementary power sources into more comprehensive household energy solutions. The global market grew from approximately USD 1.1 billion in 2021 to USD 2.6 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach approximately USD 5.8 billion by 2030.

As the market expands, safety is becoming increasingly important not only as a fundamental product requirement, but also as a key factor influencing consumer choice, market access and long-term brand competitiveness. Solar generators and plug-in solar storage products combine relatively high energy capacity, high power output and highly integrated electrical systems, while increasingly being used in homes, vehicles and outdoor environments in close proximity to users. The white paper therefore highlights the importance of building systematic safety capabilities across battery cells, battery management systems, thermal management, structural and electrical protection, environmental adaptability and lifecycle quality management. As products continue to advance toward higher capacity, greater power output, faster charging and smarter energy management, industry competition is expected to shift beyond individual product specifications toward a broader assessment of safety, performance, reliability and intelligence.

The white paper also identifies Jackery as a representative leading brand in the industry. According to Frost & Sullivan's research, Jackery ranked first globally in terms of both cumulative sales volume and cumulative revenue during the measurement period, reflecting sustained market leadership across multiple product cycles and geographic markets. Building on its established presence in portable power stations and portable solar panels, Jackery has continued to broaden its portfolio into balcony and plug-in solar storage, household backup power and wider household green-energy solutions. At the same time, the brand has continued to strengthen its multi-layer safety architecture, integrated R&D and manufacturing capabilities, and global market presence.

As highlighted in the Frost & Sullivan white paper, safety serves as the cornerstone for solar generators and plug‑in solar storage to enter mass‑market households. Jackery has built its FortiShield seven‑layer comprehensive safety protection system covering battery‑cell‑level protection, smart BMS management, thermal‑structural protection, emergency fault intervention, electrical‑load protection, all‑weather structural protection and living‑environment safety. According to Frost & Sullivan's review of publicly‑available information, as of August 2026, Jackery has recorded no known mass‑recall incidents stemming from product‑design flaws. Supported by whole‑lifecycle quality control and extensive global safety certifications, Jackery delivers robust safety guarantees for household, vehicle‑mounted and outdoor‑scenario applications, establishing itself as the industry's benchmark safety‑first brand — the most trusted safety‑first brand for solar generator & plug‑and‑play solar storage solutions.

Looking ahead, the white paper identifies continued safety enhancement, deeper integration of household and outdoor power scenarios, the coordinated development of higher performance and greater portability, and the evolution of intelligent energy management from basic connectivity toward more autonomous control as key industry trends. As households place greater emphasis on energy resilience, flexibility and independence, solar generators and plug-in solar storage are expected to become increasingly integrated into everyday household energy systems.

Cornerstone Robotics oznamuje strategické partnerstvo s Medtronic - rozšírenie globálneho prístupu k roboticky asistovanej chirurgii

HONG KONG, 2. september 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Spoločnosť Cornerstone Robotics, inovatívna spoločnosť v oblasti chirurgickej robotiky z Hongkongu, dnes oznámila strategické partnerstvo so spoločnosťou Medtronic (NYSE: MDT), svetovým lídrom v oblasti zdravotníckych technológií. V rámci partnerstva Medtronic strategicky investuje do Cornerstone Robotics približne 700 miliónov USD a bude mať práva distribuovať chirurgický systém Sentire™ od spoločnosti Cornerstone Robotics na vybraných trhoch mimo USA, kde je systém schválený na uvedenie na trh.

Spoločná vízia: preklenúť globálnu medzeru v prístupe k minimálne invazívnej starostlivosti

Keďže využívanie roboticky asistovanej chirurgie po celom svete sa stále drží na nízkych číslach, je tu značná príležitosť sprístupniť pokročilú chirurgickú starostlivosť väčšiemu počtu pacientov, lekárov a zdravotníckych systémov po celom svete.

Oslovenie tohto trhu si vyžaduje neustále technické inovácie a silné schopnosti škálovania. Spojením technológie od Cornerstone Robotics s komplexnou globálnou pôsobnosťou Medtronic sa tieto dve spoločnosti snažia sprístupniť vysokokvalitnú roboticky asistovanú chirurgiu väčšiemu počtu pacientov po celom svete.

Strategické zladenie: škálovanie technologických riešení s cieľom osloviť viac pacientov

Spoločnosť Cornerstone Robotics si vybudovala silný strategický základ prostredníctvom komplexného interného výskumu a vývoja v kombinácii s vertikálne integrovanou paradigmou. Nezávislým vývojom svojho základného hardvéru, ovládacieho softvéru, pokročilých algoritmov a vlastných zobrazovacích a energetických platforiem si Cornerstone Robotics udržiava podstatnú kontrolu nad integráciou produktov, kvalitou a odolnosťou dodávateľského reťazca. Na tom stojí výnimočná stabilita a vysoko presný výkon chirurgického systému Sentire v náročných klinických prostrediach.

V roku 2024 bol chirurgický systém Sentire od Cornerstone Robotics schválený Národným úradom pre zdravotnícke produkty v Číne. V máji 2026 získal chirurgický systém Sentire označenie CE v Európskej únii a bol schválený Singapurským úradom pre zdravotnícke vedy, pričom obe certifikácie sa vzťahujú na minimálne invazívne všeobecné, gynekologické, hrudné a urologické chirurgické zákroky.

„Toto partnerstvo predstavuje významný krok v zlepšovaní prístupu k roboticky asistovanej chirurgii po celom svete," povedal profesor Kwok Wai Samuel AU, zakladateľ a generálny riaditeľ spoločnosti Cornerstone Robotics. „Značná medzera medzi rastúcim dopytom po minimálne invazívnej chirurgii a dostupnosťou roboticky asistovaných chirurgických technológií stále pretrváva.
