ADVA (FSE: ADV) today announced that it has responded to calls from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to protect critical infrastructure from the growing danger of GNSS vulnerabilities and cyber threats to positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services with the launch of its aPNT+™ platform . This scalable solution meets all the latest guidelines for resilient PNT and is the industry’s most complete offering. It provides end-to-end control and timing network visibility for the most robust protection available against the catastrophic risks that PNT disruption poses to national security and essential assets such as power grids.

“Cyber threats are at an all-time high. At the same time, the infrastructure that our economies and lives depend on has never been more reliant on weak and highly vulnerable satellite signals. That’s why the US DHS and NIST are driving for PNT services to be more resilient and for network operators to implement strategies to counteract the vulnerabilities of GPS and other GNSS systems, including in-network PTP timing feeds. Our trusted aPNT+™ platform is the definitive response. Being open and scalable, it offers an end-to-end range of cost-effective solutions and the industry’s most comprehensive features for augmented resilience, robustness and cybersecurity,” said Gil Biran, general manager, Oscilloquartz, ADVA. “For industries and governments, timing is now a critical service in need of urgent protection. Our aPNT+™ platform will be the cornerstone of the most effective defense in depth strategies.”
Governments worldwide have issued guidelines to protect businesses and society from disruption to PNT services, including US Executive Order 13905, which was followed by the DHS Resilient PNT Conformance Framework and NIST Cybersecurity Framework for PNT Profile. The guidelines urge operators to swiftly implement technologies and measures to safeguard vital infrastructure. Based on these, ADVA has integrated an intelligent and scalable aPNT platform into its product portfolio. Even without GPS or GNSS timing, the solution provides an intelligent, end-to-end self-recovery system designed around a threefold framework. Integrating sophisticated multi-layer detection, multi-source backup and multi-level fault-tolerant mitigation, it delivers the highest levels of resilience, robustness and cybersecurity. This is a new standard for assured PNT services, integrating not only the DHS framework’s four levels of PNT resilience but also providing enhanced level four resilience, the highest level for trusted PNT services assurance.
“Our aPNT+™ platform will be invaluable for any critical infrastructure with a crucial dependence on PNT services. With our wide-ranging product portfolio, it offers all the building blocks to create an end-to-end solution, including advanced cesium clocks, our extensive family of PTP grandmasters from core to miniature, and our innovative sync assurance application,” said Nino De Falcis, senior director, business development, Oscilloquartz, ADVA. “From transportation to national defense, from energy to finance, today’s industries need to take action against the enormous risk to lives and livelihoods that reliance on PNT represents. Now there’s a new trusted way to prevent, respond and recover PNT services against disruption with our comprehensive aPNT+™ solution.”

New Visa Research Finds Consumer Trust is Accelerating the Path to Agentic Commerce9.9.2026 13:00:00 CEST | Press release
Consumers rank Visa as the most trusted brand to deliver AI-powered commerce. Visa (NYSE: V) today announced the Visa Trust Index for agentic commerce, providing new insight into how consumers are navigating the next evolution of AI shopping and payments. While consumers are increasingly using AI across the shopping journey, only 23% of U.S. consumers trust GenAI to handle payment transactions on their behalf. However, confidence in agentic commerce shifts when payments brands come into consideration. Visa emerged as the most trusted brand for AI-powered payments with 61% of respondents saying they would trust Visa to handle agentic transactions. The findings suggest that while consumers are intrigued by agentic commerce, trust remains the key factor determining whether adoption moves from possibility to reality. "AI has the potential to fundamentally reshape how people discover, buy and pay for goods and services, much like e-commerce and mobile commerce did before it," said Oliver Je

Compass Pathways’ New 52-Week Topline Open-Label Data from Phase 3 COMP005 Trial Demonstrates Additional Benefit from Another COMP360 Dose in Part C Extending Durability Out to 1 Year9.9.2026 12:30:00 CEST | Press release
Notable additional benefit observed with an added reduction in MADRS1 score leading to an average 13-point reduction from baseline at Week 52 with durability extended out to 1 year for participants who were randomized to the 25 mg arm and received an additional doseFor participants randomized to Placebo arm who received first dose of COMP360 25 mg in open-label Part C, data further reinforces that a single 25 mg dose can produce rapid onset, meaningful effect and durabilityFor all participants in Part C who received a 25 mg open-label dose, strong response and remission rates were observed with 40%-45% responders2 and approximately 30% remitters3 across all timepoints 6 weeks post the Part C doseThis 1-year data further supports the belief that, if approved, COMP360 could establish a new standard of care in TRD that can be life-changing for patients − moving beyond daily or frequent administration toward an option that could provide durable benefit with just a few treatments a yearCOMP
New ABB and BCG Report Highlights Growing Role of Direct Current Technologies in Future Power Systems9.9.2026 11:42:00 CEST | Press release
Rapid expansion of AI computing, increasing electrification and rise of renewable energy are driving renewed interest in DC technology as part of future electrical systems Both AC and DC systems have strategically important roles in meeting future electricity demand Establishing common standards and developing DC-specific skills can help accelerate deployment ABB today published a new report, The Strategic Case for Hybrid AC/DC Power: Shaping the Transition to the Next Electrical Architecture, developed in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The report makes the case that direct current (DC) technology is moving from the periphery to the center of industrial, commercial, and digital infrastructure – and that the decisions made by business leaders and policymakers in the next two to three years will determine who shapes that transition and who inherits it. The future of power distribution is not an either-or choice between alternating current (AC) and direct current, but a
