Intelligence-Driven Security for Macao: CTM and Huawei Partner to Fortify Network Security in the AI Era

VIENNA, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At Network X 2026, CTM delivered a keynote speech about its secure target network, highlighting its accelerated efforts to evolve networks from traditional connectivity pipes into intelligent, deterministic, and secure infrastructure, thereby speeding up the digital and intelligent transformation of enterprises in Macao.

Driven by the stringent high-reliability and low-latency requirements of AI, CTM has envisioned an "intelligent, deterministic, and secure" network infrastructure. By introducing AGW and AI broadband network gateway (BNG) capabilities, CTM equips the network with intelligent service awareness and dynamic scheduling, intelligently steering traffic to optimal paths to elevate user experience and reduce international bandwidth costs.

Moving into AGW 2.0, CTM will integrate telemetry with AI-powered analytics to drive a major leap from manual optimization to AI-driven auto-optimization. This will deliver a deterministic, differentiated experience for high-value scenarios, fueling revenue growth for government and enterprise businesses.

CTM believes that future network security planning must extend beyond simply setting up a firewall at the network edge; security should instead be a built-in capability of the network itself. Guided by this vision, the industry can explore network modernization across three key areas:

- Built-in device security. By leveraging built-in security capabilities and AI-powered behavior analytics, devices can identify abnormal behaviors in real time. This drives a shift from traditional signature- and rule-based defense to intelligent, behavior-based detection.

- Security capabilities as a service. By pooling security capabilities like DDoS defense, IPS, and anti-phishing, carriers can provision network security services within days. This eliminates the need for manual on-site deployments and allows government and enterprise customers to subscribe to security services on demand, enabling rapid monetization of network security capabilities.

- Future-proofing for the quantum computing era. To counter the emerging security risks quantum computing poses to traditional cryptographic frameworks, CTM and Huawei have pioneered a joint innovation to deliver a target IP architecture featuring QKD-communication integration, enabling carriers to proactively advance quantum-safe technology validation and network planning. This will deliver next-generation security capabilities for data transmission in critical industries, while an innovative built-in QKD solution significantly reduces O&M costs.

Beyond charting the course for enhancing Macao's network competitiveness, these technology evolution roadmaps provide global carriers with a new blueprint for transitioning to intelligent, secure networks in the AI era.

The company is recognized for advancing commercial fleet safety through AI-driven technology, consolidated telematics, and an operational intelligence platform that enables proactive risk prevention and driver empowerment.

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Netradyne has been honored with the 2026 Global Product Leadership Recognition in the commercial vehicle video telematics space for its outstanding achievements in product innovation, operational efficiency, customer acquisition, and consolidated telematics. The recognition highlights Netradyne's consistent leadership in driving measurable outcomes, strengthening its market position, and delivering customer-centric innovation in an evolving competitive landscape.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Netradyne excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with market demand while executing them with efficiency, consistency, and scale.

Guided by a long-term growth strategy focused on AI unified safety, an operational intelligence platform, and driver safety ecosystems, Netradyne has shown its ability to adapt and lead in a rapidly evolving landscape. The company's strategic agility and sustained investment in AI-powered fleet safety have enabled it to expand its value proposition beyond conventional video telematics to proactive risk prevention, operational intelligence, and driver empowerment.

The Netradyne platform combines AI-powered video safety, real-time edge AI analytics, automated driver coaching, and performance analytics with capabilities such as GPS tracking, fuel analysis, maintenance insights, and hours of service compliance. The modular hardware and software portfolio provides fleets with a flexible and scalable approach to consolidated telematics, helping organizations simplify deployment while improving safety, operational efficiency, and workforce engagement.

"A key differentiator underpinning the reliability of the Netradyne platform is its ability to analyze 100% of drive time with up to 99% AI alert accuracy. Netradyne's reliability is proven through its combination of edge-based AI processing, ruggedized hardware architecture, multisensor integration, and real-time analytics," said Aaron Roberts Manoharan, Program Manager at Frost & Sullivan.

Since its founding in 2015, the company has grown to serve more than 3,000 customers and more than 450,000 active subscribers worldwide. Its customer acquisition strategy aligns AI-powered fleet safety technology with the operational realities and performance expectations of diverse transportation fleets, including long-haul trucking, waste management, construction, moving and storage, rental operations, engineering services, and electric mobility.

The Netradyne platform further supports customer value by bringing video safety, drowsiness and fatigue management, GPS tracking, fuel analysis, maintenance insights, and HOS compliance together through a single device, interface, and subscription model. Netradyne's human-centered design, including real-time in-cab audio alerts, driver alert buttons, and visible recording indicators, supports positive driver engagement, while configurable privacy modes help address workforce privacy expectations.

Frost & Sullivan commends Netradyne for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. The company's vision, innovation pipeline, and customer-first culture are shaping the future of commercial vehicle video telematics and driving tangible results at scale.

The transportation industry is moving beyond traditional video telematics toward AI-powered fleet intelligence," said Avneesh Agrawal, Founder and CEO of Netradyne. "Fleets need technology that not only provides visibility but also anticipates risk, supports drivers, and improves decision-making in real time. The recognition from Frost & Sullivan validates our vision that the future of fleet safety will be built on intelligence, not simply recording events. We remain committed to advancing technologies that help create safer roads, stronger fleet performance, and better outcomes for drivers."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Product Leadership Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning.

New two-story atrium debuts as part of Oosterdam's Evolution transformation; reimagined Crow's Nest expands live entertainment experiences

SEATTLE, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Holland America Line is introducing Bar 1873, a new signature gathering place where contemporary design, cocktails and live music bring more than 150 years of the cruise line's history to life. Debuting aboard Oosterdam as part of the ship's Holland America Evolution transformation, the two-story atrium venue will feature a soaring illuminated tulip sculpture, curated heritage displays and comfortable lounges designed for cocktails, conversation and intimate entertainment. As part of the Evolution enhancements, Oosterdam also will debut a reimagined Crow's Nest, expanding the ship's live entertainment offerings with new music programming and greater flexibility for activities throughout the day and evening.

Designed to bring Holland America Line's history to life in a contemporary way, Bar 1873 will become a hallmark of the Holland America Evolution program. Different ships will offer their own interpretation of the venue, drawing inspiration from a different story, tradition or milestone from the cruise line's more than 150-year history. On Oosterdam, the venue's theme, May She Be Blessed, honors the maritime tradition of ship christenings and the godmothers who have helped launch generations of Holland America Line ships.

"One of the goals of Holland America Evolution is to celebrate the traditions that have always made us special while introducing fresh experiences for today's guests," said Beth Bodensteiner, president of Holland America Line. "Bar 1873 is one of the most exciting examples of that vision. On Oosterdam, we've taken an important part of our history and transformed it into a completely new venue. As the concept expands, each bar will draw inspiration from a different part of our heritage, creating a distinct experience aboard every Evolution ship."

Oosterdam's Bar 1873 draws from the 1958 christening of Rotterdam V by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, reflecting Holland America Line's longstanding connection to the Dutch royal family. Artwork, maritime references and design details throughout the venue will interpret that story, creating a setting that feels contemporary while remaining connected to the people and traditions that have shaped the cruise line. Live piano performances will serve as a centerpiece of the experience during pre-dinner cocktail hours and throughout the evening, complemented by select appearances from vocalists and Holland America Line's Vivace musicians.

A dramatic centerpiece at the heart of the ship

Designed in partnership with London-based design firm SMC, Bar 1873 is built around Oosterdam's central atrium on Deck 2. The space is defined by a soaring three-meter illuminated tulip sculpture inspired by the Netherlands' national flower and Holland America Line's signature orange tulip. Rising above the venue and visible from multiple vantage points throughout the atrium, the dramatic centerpiece casts intricate patterns of light across the space while serving as a visual tribute to the cruise line's Dutch roots. Surrounding the tulip are more than 200 heritage and repurposed objects, bespoke artwork and a visual timeline tracing the company's legacy, creating a layered experience that connects the venue's contemporary design to Holland America Line's history.

Oosterdam's Bar 1873 extends its central narrative through a series of details inspired by the places, people and era behind the story. Vintage-style maps and custom artwork weave together Dutch cultural influences, maritime exploration and the spirit of travel that has defined Holland America Line for more than 150 years. Throughout the space, these elements connect guests to the geography, history and traditions behind the venue's inspiration.

The design also includes a number of subtle tributes to Holland America Line's past. Carpets are inspired by the movement of light across the ocean and feature a dramatic centerpiece rug influenced by a clock in the main dining room of SS Rotterdam. The lounge's grand fireplace draws inspiration from Holland America Line's original headquarters, now Hotel New York in Rotterdam, reflecting the warmth and hospitality that have long defined the guest experience.

A toast to tradition

Holland America Line has long used its beverage program to tell stories through the glass, creating cocktails inspired by destinations, cultures and moments from the cruise line's history. Bar 1873 builds on that tradition by bringing those stories beyond the menu and into the design of the venue itself.

Inspired by the maritime tradition of ship christenings and the godmothers who have played an important role throughout Holland America Line's history, Oosterdam's Bar 1873 menu is anchored by May She Be Blessed, a celebratory cocktail named for the blessing traditionally bestowed upon a ship before it enters service. Guests will be able to personalize the drink with their choice of essence, creating a personalized toast inspired by one of maritime history's most enduring traditions.

Alongside the signature cocktail, the menu will feature modern interpretations of classic favorites and original creations inspired by the stories behind each Bar 1873 experience.

Reimagined Crow's Nest expands entertainment offerings

As part of Oosterdam's Evolution enhancements, Holland America Line will also introduce a refreshed Crow's Nest experience. Long known as one of the ship's most popular gathering spaces thanks to its panoramic ocean views, the venue will offer greater flexibility for activities and entertainment throughout the day and evening.

Expanded live music programming will create additional opportunities for guests to gather, listen and dance while preserving the relaxed atmosphere and scenic setting that have long made Crow's Nest a guest favorite. The space transitions throughout the day, offering everything from activities and enrichment programming to live music and entertainment in the evening.

In the evening, guests can enjoy performances featuring favorite songs from the 1970s through today. With an engaging, guest-focused approach and a wide-ranging repertoire, the experience is designed to create even more opportunities for live entertainment aboard Oosterdam.

The largest fleet investment in Holland America Line history

As the largest fleet update in the company's 153-year history, Holland America Evolution will revitalize all six Vista Class and Signature Class ships, beginning with Oosterdam and Zuiderdam and extending to the newly acquired Vista Class ship Arcadia.

Holland America Evolution blends new venues and enhanced experiences with the features guests already know and love, while introducing select elements inspired by the cruise line's Pinnacle Class ships. Across the fleet, guests can expect refreshed public spaces, updated accommodations and expanded onboard offerings, all while preserving the gracious service, destination-rich travel and perfectly sized ships that define Holland America Line. Bar 1873 is one example of that approach, pairing a fresh new concept with the traditions and hospitality that have long been part of the guest experience.

Bookings are now open for cruises aboard Oosterdam and Zuiderdam following their transformations. Additional details about Holland America Evolution and upcoming ship enhancements are available at hollandamerica.com/evolution.

Perceptive Discovery becomes the first US provider able to support At-211 studies, expanding access to specialized radiopharmaceutical development infrastructure through its collaboration with Atley Solutions

BOSTON, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Perceptive Discovery today announced the availability of astatine-211 (At-211) radiopharmaceutical development studies at its US and UK locations, becoming the first US provider able to execute At-211 studies.

The milestone builds on Perceptive Discovery's strategic collaboration with Atley Solutions and expands access to specialized infrastructure and scientific expertise for biotech and pharmaceutical companies developing next-generation targeted alpha therapies.

At Perceptive Discovery's laboratory at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), the first Atley C100 module within the collaboration has been installed and successfully used to purify At-211 from an irradiated bismuth-209 target. In the US, At-211 delivered in solution is available from multiple sources, enabling the team to begin supporting US studies immediately with confidence around isotope supply. A second Atley C100 module is expected to be installed at Perceptive Discovery's Needham, Massachusetts facility later this month, further expanding the company's At-211 development capabilities.

With these capabilities now available, sponsors can access specialized At-211 radiochemistry expertise and infrastructure alongside Perceptive Discovery's broader preclinical and translational radiopharmaceutical development capabilities.

Expanding Access to At-211 Development

At-211 is an emerging alpha-emitting radionuclide with significant potential for targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies. However, limited access to specialized infrastructure and radiochemistry expertise has been a barrier to broader development.

Perceptive combines At-211 access with established radiopharmaceutical development expertise, including:

- Internal radiolabeling experience across proteins, peptides, and small molecules

- Multiple precursor chemistries, including boronic acid, boronic ester, tributyl tin, and trimethyl tin approaches

- Analytical characterization using radio-iTLC and HPLC-based methods

- Dedicated At-211 development infrastructure through Perceptive Discovery's collaboration with Atley Solutions, including an operational Atley C100 module at QMUL and planned expansion to the US

- Integration with preclinical imaging, biodistribution, dosimetry, efficacy, and translational development capabilities

"The ability to execute At-211 studies across our UK and US operations represents an important expansion of what we can offer sponsors developing targeted alpha therapies," said Ben Murphy, CEO of Perceptive Discovery. "The installation and successful testing of the first Atley C100 module marks an important milestone in our collaboration with Atley. By combining access to At-211 with our established expertise in radiochemistry, in vivo imaging, oncology models, dosimetry, assay development, and translational radiopharmaceutical workflows, we can help sponsors generate the decision-ready data needed to advance promising programs toward the clinic."

The Atley C100 is an automated manufacturing platform purpose-built for At-211 radiopharmaceuticals.
