Comtrend Wi-Fi 7 XGS-PON Gateways Clear Key FCC Regulatory Hurdle
Comtrend has received conditional approval from the US Federal Communications Commission for its new Wi-Fi 7 XGS-PON ONT GRG-4366u and Wi-Fi 7 Ethernet gateway PRT-7302/VG-8043u. The decision excludes the specific models from restrictions associated with the FCC Covered List, allowing the company to proceed with the certification process required for commercial deployment in the US. XGS-PON provides 10 Gbps-class passive optical network connectivity, while Wi-Fi 7 enables service providers to extend multi-gigabit fiber performance deeper into customer premises. The combination is particularly relevant as US fiber operators introduce faster broadband tiers but need upgraded residential gateways capable of distributing those speeds wirelessly. Comtrend says the regulatory milestone forms part of its strategy to expand its US broadband-equipment portfolio and service-provider presence.
SIMSY Uses Atombeam AI to Compress Cellular LiDAR Traffic by More Than 75%
SIMSY will deploy Atombeam’s Neurpac technology to help enterprise customers transmit high-volume LiDAR and device data across cellular networks. During testing, Neurpac achieved more than 75 percent compaction of LiDAR traffic sent over a cellular connection, addressing bandwidth limitations that had previously made some real-time applications difficult to support. SIMSY provides managed cellular connectivity for large fleets of enterprise devices while avoiding direct exposure to the public internet and combining device and network management within a single interface. Reducing transmitted data by three-quarters could enable autonomous equipment, tracking systems and industrial IoT applications to use existing mobile-network capacity more efficiently. The deployment demonstrates how software-based data optimisation can increase effective cellular bandwidth without requiring operators or enterprises to immediately add new radio spectrum or physical network infrastructure.
Lyntris Wins Tri-Band Ground Network Equipment Order from Intuitive Machines
Lyntris has been selected by Intuitive Machines to provide S-, X- and Ka-band antenna feed systems for large-aperture antennas in the company’s expanding global satellite ground network. Supporting three frequency bands from common ground infrastructure gives operators greater flexibility to handle different spacecraft, missions and communications requirements without relying on completely separate antenna systems. The contract strengthens Lyntris’ position in satellite ground-segment infrastructure while supporting Intuitive Machines as it expands communications capabilities for lunar and other space missions. Ground networks are becoming increasingly important as satellite constellations and spacecraft deployments grow, requiring additional antennas, gateways and high-capacity terrestrial connectivity.
XKL Delivers 100G/400G Optical Links with Sub-5-Microsecond Latency for AI Networks
XKL has introduced specialised data-center interconnect capabilities for its MediaLight optical networking family, targeting distributed AI and high-performance computing infrastructure. Its 1RU Xponder and Muxponder systems support 100G and 400G connectivity while delivering deterministic optical transport with latency of less than five microseconds. The architecture is designed to connect regional compute clusters without the additional packet processing, jitter and queueing delays associated with multi-hop routed networks. As AI training and inference become distributed across multiple campuses and metro data centers, optical transport performance can directly affect GPU utilisation and overall computing efficiency. XKL’s approach illustrates increasing convergence between telecom-grade optical transport and AI infrastructure, creating additional demand for high-capacity fiber networks capable of moving large datasets between geographically separated computing clusters.
