AT&T plans automated wavelength quotes through Connectbase

IPG Photonics’ €1 Warranty Cap Moves Lumibird Risk to an Insurance Policy

IPG has agreed to buy Lumibird Medical with an unusual public boundary: the seller’s liability for ordinary business warranties stops at one euro, while recovery above that amount belongs to an undisclosed W&I insurance policy. The price is visible. The practical protection is…

RADCOM's VNPT win starts with roaming, not the whole network

The named Vietnamese customer gives an earlier order a clearer identity. It does not turn a roaming assignment into a network-wide award.

Mobileum links scam conversations to the telecom control desk

The partnership brings conversational agents into an existing fraud-management business. Its commercial test is the passage from a captured lead to a useful decision, not how long a bot keeps someone talking.

MediaAlpha Paid US$43m to Retire US$91.4m of Estimated TRA Claims

MediaAlpha’s two tax-agreement buyouts created a US$48.4 million discount against dated liability estimates. That is potentially valuable, but it is not cash the company received: US$43 million actually left the business, one transaction required revolving debt, and about US$32…

Mobinet puts managed home WiFi inside the monthly bill

Optical Cable turns higher volumes into a wider gross margin

The cable maker's gross profit is growing faster than sales. That is evidence of improving factory economics, not a separate measure of AI demand or a promise that every cost will scale the same way.

Analog Devices reaches into local AI design with Alif deal

A broader chip portfolio is only the start. The proposed Alif purchase reaches into the tools and engineering choices that decide whether components become a working system.

MARA’s AI Pivot Is a Portfolio of Site-Level Options

The headline says MARA and Starwood can turn mining campuses into roughly a gigawatt of near-term AI infrastructure. The contract says something more revealing: each property must pass a tenant, engineering and financing test before a ten-business-day choice determines whether…

Quantum Solutions sizes its GPU order to the data-centre block

The case for more servers came partly from the way the site sells space and power. That is a reason to change an installation plan, not proof that customers will fill it.

Parallel Works puts allocation rules around CoreWeave capacity

A reserved GPU pool removes one source of competition. Deciding which research team can use it, and when, creates another market for managed services.

Google's Finland plan carries two different jobs estimates

The €13bn commitment promises a large building phase. The harder commercial question is which local businesses will still have work when the builders leave.

Zankore adds bank finance to its revenue-sharing AI model

Onto Paid $720 Million for Influence It Will Not Consolidate

Onto Innovation’s 27% purchase of Rigaku is large enough to alter its balance sheet and strategic options, yet deliberately stops short of control. The investment will be won or lost in the gap between owning a valuable stake and converting a technical alliance into qualified…

Openreach's copper price lever still depends on each address

A lower exchange-wide coverage hurdle gives Openreach more scope to encourage fibre migration. Retailers still have to make that move work for individual customers.

MEEZA's biggest lease leaves its tenant exposure hard to read
