Fiber-fed fixed wireless delivers lower latency, stronger upload capacity, and weather-resilient service as rural households compare Starlink and other low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite options

GRANBY, Colo., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ElektraFi, a rural broadband provider delivering high-speed fixed wireless and fiber-based internet to underserved communities in Colorado and Texas, today outlined the performance advantages of its fiber-fed fixed wireless network over Starlink and other low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite internet services. ElektraFi serves Steamboat Springs and Granby, CO, Northeast Colorado, and the Denton suburbs in Texas.

As satellite internet is marketed to more rural households, ElektraFi is drawing attention to the technical factors that shape everyday performance: latency, upload capacity, connection consistency, network density, and weather resilience.

Rural households are often told satellite is their only option, and that simply isn't the case," said Ryan Jenkins, CEO of ElektraFi. "Fixed wireless fed by fiber gives families and businesses the responsiveness, upload capacity, and consistency that modern internet use demands, from gaming and video calls to streaming and content creation. And when customers need help, they reach a local team, not a mega-corp."

How Fixed Wireless Compares to LEO Satellite

- Lower latency: ElektraFi's fixed wireless typically delivers 10â20 milliseconds (ms) of latency, a noticeably snappier connection suited to online gaming and other real-time applications.

- Higher upload capacity: In many cases, fixed wireless offers greater upload capacity, making streaming and content creation much faster.

- Speed consistency: ElektraFi's network uses a fiber-fed connection that does not rely on transitioning from satellite to satellite, resulting in fewer interruptions.

- No density limitations: Due to physical beamwidth limitations, LEO satellite systems cannot serve more than a handful of customers per square mile without significant degradation in speed. Fixed wireless does not face that constraint.

- Less affected by weather: Fixed wireless remains reliable in the snow and during storms, a critical factor in Colorado's mountain communities.

- Local value: ElektraFi service is usually less expensive than satellite alternatives and is backed by a US-based customer support line from a local, state-based business.

Why It Matters

Download speed is only part of the picture. Latency and upload capacity increasingly determine how well a connection handles gaming, video calls, live streaming and content creation, all of which depend on fast, two-way traffic. Consistency matters just as much: a connection that drops during a satellite handoff or a snowstorm is a connection households and businesses cannot count on.

ElektraFi has built its network for resilience. In Routt and Moffat Counties, the company's network runs on premium generators and backup battery equipment, achieving 99.97% uptime in a region where power outages are routine.

Availability

The tactical communication market growth can be attributed to the rise in the use of secure, reliable, and interoperable communications solutions for the military that aid in enhancing command and control, situational awareness, coordination of missions, and battlefield communications. The use of tactical radios, satellite communication terminals, tactical networks, and intercommunications solutions on dismounts, land vehicles, aircraft, naval platforms, and unmanned aerial vehicles by the army, air force, navy, special operations, and joint forces is becoming more prevalent. Other drivers include modernization of defense forces, replacement of existing communication solutions, network-centric operations, and connected battlefield platforms.

Development of software-defined radio, multiband communications, MANET-based networking, secure waveforms, tactical satellite communications, deployable LTE/5G, encryption technologies, and multi-bearer network architecture is becoming a critical area of technological innovation in this market. This is improving the capability of tactical communication systems to ensure secure voice and data communication among dispersed forces in contested electromagnetic environments. It is also helping in achieving interoperability, network resilience, higher data throughput, lower communication latency, and better connectivity among soldiers, command centers, sensors, and manned/unmanned systems.

By equipment type, the tactical private wireless systems segment is positioned for strong advancement during the forecast period.

There are chances that tactical private wireless systems will experience considerable gains in the tactical communication market owing to increasing use of private LTE, private 5G, and hybrid multi-technology wireless communication by the defense organizations within forward operating bases, command centers, logistics centers, vehicles, and other tactical environments. Increasing needs for high-capacity data communication, real-time video, sensor communication, mission-specific applications, and broadband communication have been propelling the market for quickly deployable private wireless communication infrastructure. Increased use of private wireless networks in combination with tactical radios, satellite communication, command and control communication, edge computing platforms, and unmanned systems has been driving the acceptance of the technology.

BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott International, Inc. (Nasdaq: MAR) today reported third quarter 2026 results.

Anthony Capuano, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our excellent third quarter results reflected continued momentum across our business, the benefits of our global scale, and the power of our brands and revenue engines. Global RevPAR increased 6.5 percent in the third quarter, on higher ADR and occupancy. In the U.S. & Canada, RevPAR rose over 7 percent, with broad-based growth across customer segments and chain scales.

"International RevPAR increased over 4 percent in the quarter, led by APEC, which delivered over 9 percent RevPAR growth, supported by robust international inbound demand. EMEA RevPAR rose over 4 percent, thanks to solid growth in Europe. While the ongoing conflict in the Middle East continued to impact results in that region, trends improved meaningfully from the second quarter. For full year 2026, given our strong third quarter performance and expectations for continued healthy demand, we are raising our global RevPAR outlook and now expect growth of 4.5 to 5 percent.

"Our development activity remained strong, and we had record global organic signings year to date through September. Conversions continued to be an important driver of growth, representing over a third of signings and over 40 percent of openings during the first nine months of the year.

"Marriott Bonvoy continued to expand its reach and deliver value to our owners and properties and across the enterprise. Our broad portfolio of brands and experiences and powerful collaborations with Uber, Starbucks and others helped drive membership to approximately 309 million members around the world at quarter-end.

"Our global scale, compelling portfolio of brands, industry-leading Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program and dedicated associates, together with our robust development pipeline and disciplined execution, give us confidence in our ability to deliver sustainable, long-term growth."

Third Quarter 2026 Results

Franchise and base management fees totaled $1,341 million in the 2026 third quarter, a 13 percent increase compared to franchise and base management fees of $1,190 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher co-branded credit card fees, higher RevPAR and rooms growth.

Incentive management fees totaled $181 million in the 2026 third quarter, a 22 percent increase over $148 million in the 2025 third quarter. All regions posted positive growth year over year, with incentive fees in the U.S. & Canada up meaningfully.

Owned, leased, and other revenue, net of owned, leased, and other expense2, totaled $41 million in the 2026 third quarter, compared to $70 million in the 2025 third quarter. The decline reflected lower owned and leased hotel results, including the impact of renovations and our 2026 second quarter sale of a U.S. & Canada hotel, and higher costs associated with a third-party agreement, partially offset by a $12 million expected insurance recovery associated with the 2026 second quarter property-related litigation matter ($9 million after-tax impact and $0.03 per share after-tax).

General and administrative expenses2 for the 2026 third quarter totaled $214 million, compared to $210 million in the year-ago quarter.

Interest expense, net, totaled $219 million in the 2026 third quarter, compared to $194 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense associated with higher debt balances.

About Protego Biopharma

Protego Biopharma is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing first-in-class small molecule therapies for AL amyloidosis and other protein misfolding diseases. Protego aims to translate advances in protein stabilization into medicines that address the misfolding and toxicity responsible for progressive organ damage. Its therapies are designed to intervene in this disease process, with the goal of preserving organ function and improving patients' lives. For more information, visit www.protegobio.com.

About PROT-001

PROT-001 is Protego Biopharma's lead investigational small molecule pharmacological chaperone, being developed for the treatment of immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis. PROT-001 is designed to stabilize amyloidogenic lambda light chain proteins and prevent their misfolding and the formation of proteotoxic species. The goal of this therapy is limiting the toxic effects that contribute to organ injury, including direct damage to cardiomyocytes in AL patients. PROT-001 represents a complementary approach to plasma cell-directed therapies, which reduce light chain production. By targeting the amyloidogenic light chain protein itself before it can adopt a pathogenic conformation, PROT-001 has the potential to complement existing treatments and address an additional mechanism of disease.

About the Phase 1 PRO-1A-101 Study

PRO-1A-101 was a first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled four-part Phase 1 study that evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), food effect (FE), and drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential of PROT-001 in healthy adult participants. Part 1 was a single ascending dose (SAD) study. Part 2 was a multiple ascending dose (MAD) study. Part 3 was a non-randomized FE cross-over study. Part 4 was a non-randomized, open-label study that evaluated potential precipitant DDIs of PROT-001. Additional information on this study can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov under the identifier NCT06981299.

About AL Amyloidosis

Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare, life-threatening disease affecting over 5,100 newly diagnosed patients annually and 28,000 US adults in which abnormal plasma cells produce light chain proteins that can misfold and aggregate. The direct toxicity of disease-related light chains and their accumulation as amyloid deposits in tissues both result in injury to organs, including the heart and kidneys. Cardiac injury is particularly serious, as toxic light chains can directly impair cardiomyocyte function, while amyloid deposits disrupt the structure and function of the heart. Current treatments focus on reducing light chain production with plasma cell-directed therapies and managing organ complications, leaving patients with a substantial need for complementary approaches that directly address light chain toxicity and improve organ outcomes.

TSXV: V

OTCQB: VUECF

www.verderauranium.com

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Verdera Energy Corp. (TSXV: V) (OTCQB: VUECF) (the "Company" or "Verdera") announced today that it will establish a new normal course issuer bid (the "New NCIB"), reflecting the Company's expanded capitalization following the distribution of Verdera common shares to shareholders of enCore Energy Corp., and providing for an increase in the maximum number of common shares that may be purchased for cancellation. In connection with the New NCIB, the Company terminated its existing normal course issuer bid (the "Previous NCIB"), which commenced on September 29, 2026 and ended on October 30, 2026.

Under the Previous NCIB, the Company was authorized to purchase for cancellation up to 3,793,152 common shares, representing approximately 10% of its public float of 37,931,520 common shares and approximately 5% of its 75,782,993 issued and outstanding common shares as of September 23, 2026. The Company purchased an aggregate of 380,500 common shares under the Previous NCIB, which have been cancelled.

Following the termination of the Previous NCIB and the cancellation of all 380,500 common shares purchased thereunder, the Company had 110,412,493 common shares issued and outstanding and a calculated public float of 67,695,476 common shares. These figures reflect the reduction from 110,792,993 common shares issued and outstanding and a public float of 68,075,976 common shares immediately prior to the cancellation of shares purchased under the Previous NCIB.

Under the New NCIB, the Company intends to purchase for cancellation up to 6,389,047 common shares, representing approximately 9.44% of the adjusted public float and 5.79% of the adjusted issued and outstanding common shares. The proposed maximum takes into account the 380,500 common shares purchased for cancellation under the Previous NCIB. Accordingly, the aggregate maximum number of common shares purchased or eligible for purchase under both NCIBs would be 6,769,547 common shares, representing approximately 10% of the adjusted public float.

Purchases under the New NCIB may commence through the facilities of the TSXV on or after November 6, 2026 and will terminate on the earlier of (i) November 5, 2027, (ii) the date on which the Company has purchased the maximum number of common shares permitted under the New NCIB, or (iii) the date on which the Company elects to terminate the New NCIB.

The Company has retained Haywood Securities Inc. to act as its designated broker to effect purchases under the New NCIB. Purchases will be conducted on the open market through the facilities of the TSXV at prevailing market prices at the time of acquisition, subject to the pricing and other limitations prescribed by TSXV policies. All common shares purchased under the New NCIB will be cancelled.

The Company terminated the Previous NCIB and is establishing the New NCIB to reflect changes to its issued and outstanding share capital and public float following the conversion of 35,000,000 Class A preferred shares into common shares in connection with the distribution of Verdera common shares to shareholders of enCore Energy Corp.

The distribution of 35,000,000 common shares to shareholders of enCore Energy Corp., completed on September 30, 2026, was a predetermined share issuance at the time the Company launched the Previous NCIB. The Company set the maximum number of common shares available for purchase under the Previous NCIB based on its capitalization and public float immediately prior to the distribution, rather than on its capitalization and public float giving effect to the distribution, as an administrative oversight. The New NCIB addresses this by resetting the maximum to reflect the Company's updated capitalization, with the 380,500 common shares purchased under the Previous NCIB deducted from the maximum number of common shares available for purchase under the New NCIB, in accordance with applicable TSX Venture Exchange requirements.

The New NCIB is consistent with the Company's belief that the purchase of its common shares at prevailing market prices may represent an attractive and appropriate use of available capital. The timing and extent of purchases will depend on market conditions, available funds and other corporate considerations, as determined by management. The Company is not obligated to purchase any common shares under the New NCIB and may suspend or terminate purchases at any time.

The Previous NCIB commenced on September 29, 2026 and was originally scheduled to expire on September 28, 2027. The Company terminated the Previous NCIB on October 30, 2026. As of October 30, 2026, the Company had purchased 380,500 common shares under the Previous NCIB at an average price of $0.2611 per common share, for total consideration of approximately $99,356.08, excluding brokerage commissions.
