KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) -- Software company Mavenir announced that its MAVcore Cloud-Native IMS and Voice Services received a Very Strong rating in GlobalData’s 2026 IMS and Voice Core: Competitive Landscape Assessment.
The rating placed Mavenir among the industry's top-rated IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Voice Core providers alongside Nokia, ZTE, and Ericsson, according to a statement.
The report evaluated vendors across five dimensions, namely solution architecture, platform and performance, feature and application support, interoperability, and deployment experience, with MAVcore earning a Strong to Very Strong rating across all five areas.
Mavenir Executive Vice President & General Manager, IMS & RAN, Sachin Karkala said being recognised as Very Strong by GlobalData validates the investment Mavenir has made in cloud-native voice architecture.
“As operators worldwide decommission legacy networks and look to monetise voice through artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled services, Mavenir's ground-up cloud-native approach positions our customers to move faster and scale with confidence,” added Karkala.
Meanwhile, GlobalData Senior Principal Analyst, Andy Hicks said Mavenir designed its Cloud-Native IMS solution from the ground up for Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and 5G voice. The architecture, and its base of over 50 voice customers worldwide, are among the factors that earned Mavenir a Very Strong rating in this year's assessment.
Beyond the five rated dimensions, GlobalData highlighted Mavenir's AI roadmap stating Mavenir is focused on in-call AI services, including simultaneous translation, agentic small and medium-sized business assistants, and transcription, targeting what GlobalData identifies as the fastest-growing voice service opportunity.
The company’s signalling security, spam detection, and fraud management capabilities add a further layer of differentiation and a foundation for value-added services.
As voice calling evolves from human-to-human interaction to human-to-agent interaction, Mavenir will continue to invest in cloud-native architecture and AI-enabled services that help operators modernise their voice networks and capture new sources of revenue.

Bitget Enhances Algorithmic Trading Experience with Siebly.io SDK Integration
VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 22 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), today announced a collaboration with Siebly.io, a provider of professional-grade API SDKs for algorithmic traders and developers, to simplify integration with Bitget’s V3 Unified Trading Account and V2 Classic APIs. The collaboration gives developers access to the Bitget SDK by Siebly, enabling faster, more reliable connectivity across Bitget’s spot, futures, copy trading, and real-time market data infrastructure.
Developers and algorithmic traders increasingly rely on stable API tooling to build, test, and deploy trading systems. However, fragmented API environments, inconsistent client libraries, and complex migration paths can slow down development and introduce operational risk. By working with Siebly, Bitget is helping developers reduce integration complexity while supporting both its new Unified Trading Account architecture and existing V2 Classic workflows.
Siebly.io provides ready-made developer tools that help trading teams connect to crypto exchanges without building every API connection from scratch. For developers and algorithmic traders, especially those built with JavaScript and TypeScript, they can connect to Bitget faster, reduce technical errors, and spend more time building trading strategies, bots, and market data tools instead of managing complex API integrations.
“UEX is about delivering a better trading experience for users and developers worldwide independent of the assets they trade,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Collaborating with Siebly makes it easier to build reliable tools across Bitget’s unified account architecture, helping traders spend less time on integration and more time building strategies on Bitget.”
Siebly’s SDKs provide comprehensive coverage across Bitget’s ecosystem, including spot trading, futures trading, copy trading, public market data streams, and private account management. For latency-sensitive strategies, the SDK also supports WebSocket API functionality, allowing developers to execute REST-like request-response patterns over a persistent connection and reduce request overhead without the added complexity of managing WebSockets manually.
The SDK also includes built-in support for HMAC, RSA, and Ed25519 authentication, helping developers securely interact with Bitget’s infrastructure while maintaining flexibility across different authentication standards. With consistent development patterns across supported exchanges, Siebly’s tooling is designed to help developers move between platforms with less friction and shorter implementation cycles.
“Developers building automated trading systems need SDKs that are consistent, secure, and tested in production environments,” said Tiago Siebler, Lead Developer at Siebly.io. “By collaborating with Bitget, we are making it easier for developers to integrate with one of the industry’s leading trading ecosystems.”
Bitget’s UEX framework is strengthened with this collaboration by improving the infrastructure layer that connects developers, trading systems, and Bitget’s unified account environment. By making API access more efficient across spot, futures, copy trading, and real-time data, Bitget continues to expand the tools available to retail and professional developers building the next generation of crypto trading applications.

GRADIANT SUPPORTS EUROPE’S SEMICONDUCTOR EXPANSION WITH WATER SOLUTIONS
 |
Today, Gradiant announced the early completion of ultrapure water and water recovery systems for a €5 billion semiconductor facility in Dresden, supporting expanded European chip production, improved water efficiency, and stronger supply chain resilience. |
KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater solutions, has completed its work for a major new semiconductor manufacturing facility in Dresden, strengthening Europe’s capacity to produce technologies powering an increasingly digital and electrified world.
Representing an investment of approximately five billion euros, the new facility is one of Germany’s largest industrial projects and a significant expansion within Silicon Saxony, Europe’s leading semiconductor cluster. (1 Euro = RM4.65)
The project doubles manufacturing capacity at the customer’s Dresden site and is expected to create approximately 1,000 highly skilled jobs, according to Gradiant in a statement.
It is supported by approximately one billion euro in public funding programmes, including the European Chips Act and the Important Project of Common European Interest. The investment will strengthen European semiconductor supply chains and improve the resilience of industries that depend on advanced chips.
Built for production on 300-millimetre wafers, the facility will manufacture power semiconductors and analogue and mixed-signal technologies that are essential to artificial intelligence (AI) data centres, electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, power grids, and industrial applications.
Gradiant supplied ultrapure water and water recovery systems for the facility, with solutions engineered to meet the stringent purity, reliability, and process consistency requirements of advanced semiconductor fabrication.
The rinse-water recovery systems supplied by Gradiant enable water from selected production processes to be captured and reused for appropriate applications within the facility, supporting efficient resource use and strengthening the resilience of large-scale manufacturing operations.
The facility uses industrial water rather than drinking water for its operations, helping conserve valuable drinking water resources. Internal recycling processes allow production water to be reused multiple times, with a target water recycling rate of up to 45 per cent by 2033.
Gradiant completed its project scope three months ahead of schedule, reflecting close coordination among the company, the customer, and the broader project team, as well as Gradiant’s ability to execute complex infrastructure projects under the semiconductor industry’s rigorous quality, safety, and scheduling requirements.

Bitget Emerges as a Leading TradFi Trading Venue With Nearly $70B in Q2 Perpetual Volume, TokenInsight Report Finds
VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 22 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has emerged as one of the leading venues for TradFi trading products, generating nearly $70 billion in TradFi perpetual trading volume in Q2 2026, according to the TokenInsight Q2 2026 Crypto Exchange Report. The report cements Bitget's growing presence in the rapidly expanding TradFi segment, where crypto exchanges are increasingly connecting digital asset infrastructure with global financial markets.
The report found that TradFi perpetuals became one of the fastest-growing segments across crypto exchanges during Q2, with monthly trading volume increasing from $52 billion in January to $268 billion in June. Equity perpetuals became the main growth driver during the quarter as exchanges expanded into tokenized stocks, IPO products, and other real-world assets. TokenInsight noted that TradFi perpetuals have evolved from an emerging product category into a strategically important area of competition for exchanges.
Bitget's growth in TradFi markets follows a series of product launches under its Universal Exchange strategy, including IPO Prime and Stocks 2.0, which were highlighted by TokenInsight among the industry's notable Q2 developments. The report also found that TradFi perpetuals accounted for 8.61% of Bitget's total derivatives volume, the second-highest penetration rate among major centralized exchanges.
During the quarter, Bitget maintained a top-three position across both commodity and equity perpetual markets, while recording nearly $70 billion in TradFi perpetual trading volume. The exchange also expanded its broader derivatives position, with futures open interest market share increasing from 7.81% in Q1 to 8.58% in Q2, marking one of the strongest gains among major exchanges tracked by TokenInsight.
"The data points to a market that is starting to catch up with the vision behind our Universal Exchange," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "UEX is built around the belief that investors don't want separate platforms for crypto and traditional finance, they want frictionless access to opportunities across both. The trading volumes we're seeing today reinforces that this is where the market is heading."
The findings come as the broader exchange industry shifts toward multi-asset trading. While total crypto exchange volume declined modestly to $16.5 trillion in Q2, spot activity recovered from $3.3 trillion to $4.5 trillion as market participants responded to renewed volatility and Bitcoin's repeated tests of the $60,000 support level.
Bitget's Universal Exchange ecosystem brings together crypto, tokenized equities, commodities, and other global assets through a unified trading experience. As TradFi and crypto markets continue to converge, Bitget continues expanding the infrastructure needed to support increasingly diverse trading activity.

IFLYTEK LAUNCHES GUIDEX INTELLIGENT INTERACTION AGENT FOR PUBLIC SERVICES
KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 (Bernama) -- iFLYTEK has launched GuideX, an intelligent interaction agent for public service environments, at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2026.
Unlike conventional digital humans that only answer questions, GuideX is built to complete tasks based on three capabilities, namely omnimodal, self-regulation and empathy-driven, according to iFLYTEK in a statement.
The first capability, omnimodal perception, lets GuideX work in crowded venues by fusing voice, face, position, lip movement and spatial context to identify who is speaking, from where and why. It supports more than 30 languages, with 97.35 per cent English recognition accuracy.
In addition, it delivers 95.12 per cent end-to-end accuracy, alongside more than 200 avatars and over 100 ultra-realistic voices. The full chain, from wake-up to response, takes 0.42 seconds even under heavy load.
Meanwhile, the self-regulation capability turns conversations into completed tasks. Once a task is identified, a dual-track mechanism determines how to handle it, with routine cases following fixed policies while complex cases move to adaptive reasoning. Both draw on SkillHub, iFLYTEK's skills platform, which now carries more than 10,000 skills and can be extended without coding.
The empathy-driven capability enables more human-like interactions by reading emotional context and responding accordingly. With users' consent, GuideX combines facial recognition with scene memory to retain service context and preferences, allowing returning users to resume where they left off.
Deployed across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, Latin America and Africa, GuideX runs on smart terminals, all-in-one machines, transparent displays, web and mobile apps.
iFLYTEK said it also launched the GuideX Navigator Program with eight ecosystem partners spanning government services, transportation, hospitality, tourism and smart commerce.

EARTHDAILY CONSTELLATION REACHES SATELLITE MILESTONE FOR COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS
KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 (Bernama) -- EarthDaily, a global Earth observation company, has successfully established initial contact with EDC-08 following its launch aboard SpaceX's Transporter-17 mission on July 7.
The milestone marks Launch III for the EarthDaily Constellation and brings the system to the satellite count required for commercial operations, expected later this year, according to a statement.
“EDC-08 reaching orbit and establishing initial contact is another important step in the disciplined deployment of the EarthDaily Constellation.
“With eight satellites now in orbit, seven progressing through commissioning, and initial imagery returning from the May launch, the system is performing as expected,” said EarthDaily Chief Executive Officer, Don Osborne.
Like each spacecraft in the EarthDaily Constellation, EDC-08 carries 16 imagers collecting data across 22 spectral bands, providing the system with the spectral depth and imaging capacity needed to support consistent and comparable measurements across regions, seasons and time.
The latest launch follows the deployment of EDC-02 to EDC-07 in May, with the satellites now progressing through commissioning and returning initial imagery that provides an early indication of system performance.
Purpose-built for broad-area change detection, the EarthDaily Constellation is designed to deliver globally consistent, calibrated daily measurement of the planet. Its imagery is designed to work with EarthDaily's automated change detection analytics to identify meaningful changes across wide areas.
As additional satellites prepare for launch, the constellation is advancing towards daily global land coverage, providing a continuous measurement layer to monitor changes across sectors, including defence and security, agriculture, natural resources, climate resilience and infrastructure.
