Expereo Helps Kingspan Light, Air + Water Remove Network Complexity and Boost Resilience Across 100 Sites Worldwide

· The partnership provides Kingspan Light, Air + Water with enhanced connectivity globally


LONDON, Dec 10 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Expereo, the world-leading managed Network as a Service (NaaS) provider that connects people, places and things anywhere, today announces that Kingspan Light, Air + Water, the global provider of solutions in smoke control and fire safety, natural daylighting, ventilation and cooling, sustainable water management, and safe storage, has selected Expereo to deliver a fully managed global connectivity solution.

Kingspan Light, Air + Water had grown rapidly through acquisitions, leaving it with a fragmented network of multiple contracts, vendors and compliance requirements across 100 locations in 22 countries. Previously, multiple contracts, vendors and compliance requirements created complexity, with local changes often going unreported - leading to missed renewals, undocumented modifications and poor visibility into network health. This made diagnosing issues and distinguishing application problems from infrastructure failures extremely difficult.

To overcome these challenges, Kingspan Light, Air + Water partnered with Expereo to deliver a fully managed global connectivity solution. Expereo was chosen for its ability to design, implement, transition and support a single, standardised network under one agreement. The solution combines broadband, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services to ensure robust business continuity - essential for production sites that make up a third of Kingspan Light, Air + Water’s global footprint.

At the heart of the solution is expereoOne, Expereo’s NaaS platform, which gives Kingspan Light, Air + Water a single view of its entire network. The platform enables the IT team to monitor performance, track delivery dates, manage trouble tickets and deactivate services digitally. It also simplifies ordering and invoicing, making it easy to view quotes, place orders and maintain full transparency across all sites.

Ben Elms, CEO of Expereo, says: "I’m delighted we are supporting Kingspan Light, Air + Water in the next phase of its digital transformation. Global businesses face huge challenges managing fragmented networks across multiple regions - and our fully managed service combined with the expereoOne platform deliver the visibility and control Kingspan Light, Air + Water needs. By providing a single source of truth for all sites and services – we’re removing complexity, strengthening resilience and giving the organisation the security to scale and innovate without worrying about network risk."

Fergal Moore, Divisional Head of Infrastructure & Cyber Security at Kingspan Light, Air + Water, says: “expereoOne has transformed how we manage our global network. For the first time - we now have a single view of all services, contracts and performance across every site. This gives us confidence, control and the ability to make decisions quickly – putting us in the best place to capitalise on our growth ambitions.”

​Mavenir Confirms Refocus Strategy on Mobile Core and AI Vision With Expanded Leadership Team to Accelerate AI-Native Network Strategy

RICHARDSON, Texas, Dec 9 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mavenir, the software company building AI-by-design mobile networks, today announced a strong leadership team to accelerate its vision for telco-first, cloud-native, AI-by-design networks. This transformation follows the company’s recent recapitalization and aligns with a refreshed product strategy focused on mobile core, AI-enabled automation, and cloud-native platforms.

New Operating Model Aligned to Strategic Priorities

Successful investment in AI will start with an AI-integrated approach, targeted deployments that solve specific problems with low risk, low disruption, and steady rewards. But it must go beyond using AI as a capability in isolation to augment existing processes. Crucially, it’s about building systems, from day one, to be part of a bigger AI vision of agentic, intent-driven operations, with intelligence everywhere.

Mavenir’s AI roadmap marks the transition from AI-integrated to AI-native networks, a shift that redefines how operators run and monetize their infrastructure. AI-integrated networks apply AI to specific functions, while AI-native networks embed intelligence into the core architecture, enabling full automation, real-time optimization, and industrial-scale monetization.

To streamline execution and advance its AI-integrated to AI-native network roadmap, Mavenir is realigning into two integrated business segments, both with a shared focus on AI automation:

· Packet core, messaging, security

· Voice, radio access technologies

Supported by platform & cloud technologies and business solutions.

This structure brings clearer accountability, sharper customer focus, and faster execution across product lines and R&D.

Strong Senior Leadership Team

As part of the new operating model, Mavenir is appointing several seasoned leaders to key roles effective immediately:

· Uli Dopfer,
Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
Brings over 20 years of financial leadership, most recently as CFO of ADTRAN Holdings. Uli will oversee corporate finance, financial operations, long-term strategic planning and Human Resources.

· Dejan Leskaroski,
Executive Vice President & Chief Revenue Officer (CRO)
Previously leading Mavenir’s strategic mobile core engagements and product lifecycle management. Dejan will define and drive Mavenir’s global revenue strategy and commercial growth.

· Michael Cooper,
Executive Vice President & General Manager, Packet Core, Security & Messaging
Building on Michael’s proven leadership in driving growth for the packet core business unit, his role now expands to encompass packet core, security, and messaging businesses, while also taking on additional responsibility for Mavenir’s Digital Enablement (MDE) R&D.

· Santhosh Kumar,
Executive Vice President & General Manager, Platform & Cloud
Following a tenure since 2008 marked by leadership in global IMS and messaging deployments and in platform engineering across the RAN and IMS portfolios. In this role, Santhosh will lead Platform Engineering, Center of Delivery (COD), and global product support with a mandate to advance platform consistency, accelerate cloud transformation, and scale operational efficiency across the company.

· Sachin Karkala,
Executive Vice President & General Manager, IMS & RAN
A Mavenir leader for over 18 years, Sachin has driven cloud‑native and AI transformations, advanced network solutions, and large‑scale Open RAN deployments while pioneering innovations in IMS/VoLTE and Wi‑Fi calling. He now assumes the role of EVP & General Manager, IMS & RAN, where he will lead voice and radio access technologies with a mandate to accelerate AI‑native evolution, strengthen R&D performance, and deliver next‑generation solutions for global operators.

· Sandeep Singh,
Senior Vice President & General Manager, Business Solutions
Sandeep will be responsible for product marketing across Mavenir’s entire product portfolio. In addition to this expanded role, Sandeep will retain his GM responsibilities for the Digital Enablement (MDE) Business Unit, continuing to drive innovation and growth in business support systems.

Mavenir’s senior leadership team remains strong and collaborative, with Pardeep Kohli (President & CEO), Bejoy Pankajakshan (EVP & Chief Technology & Strategy Officer), BG Kumar (President of Global Operations, Sales Operations & SCMP), Chuck Gilbert (EVP & Chief Legal Officer), Brandon Larson (SVP & GM, Cloud, AI & IMS Business Strategy), and Ilia Abramov (VP & GM, Security) continuing in their current roles. Their steadfast leadership and partnership will provide continuity and support as they work closely with the newly appointed executives to accelerate innovation, strengthen customer focus, and deliver Mavenir’s AI-native network vision.

Leadership Transitions

The company also announces that Terry Hungle, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Bahram Jalalizadeh, Executive Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing; Ashok Khuntia, President of Core Networks; and Anup Mahajan, Senior Vice President of Engineering, will transition from their roles at the end of January 2026. The company extends heartfelt gratitude for their contributions, leadership, and dedication that have shaped Mavenir’s success. Terry will continue as Special Advisor to the Board, and Bahram will remain engaged as a consultant to support ongoing customer programs.

Accelerating Innovation and Customer Value

“Mavenir was the first to deliver cloud-native products and have over 300+ operators serving ~3.5B subscribers. As our customers embrace AI-native networks, we are evolving our operating model to respond with greater speed and clarity,” said Pardeep Kohli, President and CEO. “We are excited to welcome these exceptional leaders to Mavenir. With a strong team and sharper strategic focus, we are well-positioned to deliver innovation and exceptional value for our customers.”

“Mavenir’s commitment to delivering AI-by-design solutions goes hand-in-hand with strengthening relationships with our key customers in mobile core,” said Hubert de Pesquidoux, Executive Chairman and Executive Partner at Siris. “This expanded leadership team brings the expertise necessary to drive our profitable growth agenda and reinforce our position as an industry leader. We look forward to accelerating innovation and delivering sustainable value for all stakeholders.”

Looking Ahead

With a unified operating model, a renewed strategic roadmap, and expanded leadership capacity, Mavenir is positioning itself to lead the industry’s transition from AI-integrated to AI-native networks, delivering the automation, intelligence, and agility operators require in the next era of telecom evolution.

About Mavenir 

Mavenir is enabling intelligent, automated, programmable networks through the development of telco-first, cloud-native, AI-by-design software solutions for mobile operators. The company’s deep telco domain expertise has been proven through deployments with 300+ operators globally in over 120 countries, which together serve more than 50% of the world’s subscribers.

ABU DHABI LAUNCHES FIDA CLUSTER TO DRIVE FUTURE FINANCE



KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 11 (Bernama) -- Abu Dhabi has unveiled the FinTech, Insurance, Digital and Alternative Assets (FIDA) cluster, a major new initiative aimed at accelerating next-generation financial innovation and strengthening the emirate’s role as a global capital hub.

Spearheaded by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), FIDA forms a core pillar of the emirate’s long-term economic diversification strategy, according to a statement.

By 2045, the cluster is expected to add US$15.2 billion to the gross domestic product (GDP), create 8,000 skilled jobs, and attract around US$4.6 billion in investment. (US$1=RM4.10)

FIDA consolidates high-growth sectors where technology, regulation and capital converge, including fintech, digital assets, insurance, reinsurance and alternative investments. The cluster offers global firms a stable, forward-looking jurisdiction to design, test and scale new financial products.

The cluster will accelerate institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure, expand insurance and reinsurance capacity, establish long-term savings frameworks and broaden small and medium-sized enterprises’ access to funding through alternative lending, venture debt and growth capital.

Green and transition finance will anchor FIDA’s sustainability agenda, supporting Abu Dhabi’s net-zero goals while expanding private equity, venture capital and real estate investment opportunities for global institutions.

FIDA will also support priority sectors such as food and water innovation, life sciences and mobility through tailored financing channels enabled by Abu Dhabi’s wider cluster ecosystem.

Underpinned by US$1.8 trillion in sovereign wealth and world-class regulatory frameworks, the emirate offers treaty-backed access to major global markets, enhancing FIDA’s appeal for financial innovators.

Regulators, sovereign investors, infrastructure providers, academic institutions and talent development partners form an integrated ecosystem that positions Abu Dhabi to lead in fintech, reinsurance and alternative assets.

FIDA reinforces the emirate’s emergence as a next-generation global financial centre and a preferred destination for firms building the future of finance.

European Leaders Urge Deeper China–EU Cooperation, CGTN Reports

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 5 (Bernama) -- This year marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and the European Union (EU), prompting European political and business leaders to reflect on the relationship and outline priorities for the decades ahead during recent visits to China.

Former Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi said China’s growing global role requires Europe to reassess its approach.

“China and Europe have never been enemies, but we have never been brothers,” he said, adding that “history obliges” both sides to adapt to shifting global dynamics.

According to CGTN in a statement, while Prodi pointed out this historical urgency, former Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel shed light on the challenges facing global governance, saying Europe and China share a responsibility to help maintain stability.

He cited United States-led tariff actions as having unsettled global trade and believed that closer Europe-China cooperation could help safeguard the international economic order.

Business leaders also underscored China’s importance. Chairman of Germany’s Peter Jungen Holding, Peter Jungen urged global entrepreneurs to engage more deeply with the Chinese market, describing the country’s shift toward innovation and entrepreneurship as a source of significant opportunity.

Meanwhile, Hungary’s Magyar Nemzeti Bank Director for International Strategy and Cooperation, Iván Kovácsics said Europe must accelerate innovation and expand partnerships to remain competitive.

Cooperation with China, he said, will be essential given its industrial capacity and technological strength.

As China and the EU enter the next 50 years of relations, both sides face the broader question of how to strengthen economic and strategic ties in a multipolar world while managing differences and sustaining global influence.

EBC Financial Group Enters South Africa, Advancing Strategic Expansion in Africa

EBC Financial Group announces regulatory approval of its South African subsidiary, positioning the firm for future market access in South Africa's growing financial services sector.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Dec 3 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EBC Financial Group SA (Pty) Ltd has received approval from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority ("FSCA") as an Authorised Financial Service Provider, marking a strategic milestone in the firm's African expansion plans. This regulatory approval represents an essential first step as EBC Financial Group (“EBC”) works toward establishing a presence in South Africa's rapidly growing fintech ecosystem. 

David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd., said, "The FSCA's approval represents an important milestone in our global expansion. This complements our existing licences, such as those from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd, and other entities within our group regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius (FSC). This acquisition positions us to serve one of the continent's most active trading markets while upholding the regulatory standards and transparency that define our operations worldwide."

Strategic Entry into South Africa's Financial Market

South Africa represents a compelling growth opportunity, with a population of 63 million and 76% internet penetration, creating a substantial digitally connected market. The country's fintech sector is projected to more than double from USD7.08 billion in 2023 to USD14.86 billion by 2033, reflecting the rapid digital transformation of financial services across the region. Within this expanding ecosystem, EBC observes that South Africa's trading community demonstrates strong participation across commodities, indices, and emerging digital assets, creating demand for reliable, regulated market access.

"South Africa's traders are sophisticated and globally minded, with three-quarters of the population connected online," Barrett continued. "This digital maturity, combined with the region's appetite for diversified trading opportunities, aligns closely with our offering. As we complete the integration process, we look forward to bringing our execution capabilities and comprehensive multi-asset market access to South African traders who seek reliable and transparent trading solutions."

Education and Empowerment: Core to the EBC Philosophy

Beyond market access, EBC continues to champion trader education as a cornerstone of responsible market participation. Over the past quarter, EBC has hosted more than 1,000 multilingual webinars. Its educational initiatives also include the Pulse 360º podcast series on Spotify, market insights, and trader education on EBC Trading Academy. EBC also collaborates with the Department of Economics at the University of Oxford to organise the ‘What Economists Really Do’ series. Its recent webinar, titled ‘Think Like an Economist: Financial Literacy and Economic Understanding in an Age of Complexity’ was held on 11 November 2025. EBC's digital-first educational initiatives are particularly well-suited to empower traders with the necessary facts, sound risk management practices, and financial literacy.

"Education and informed decision-making are fundamental to long-term trading success," Barrett noted. "Through our educational programmes, we aim to equip traders at all levels with the knowledge to navigate markets effectively, manage risk prudently, and adapt to evolving market conditions."

Guided by a Clear Mission

Beyond the regulatory milestone, this acquisition positions South African traders to access EBC's award-winning ecosystem that combines technological excellence with educational depth. EBC's infrastructure delivers execution speeds as low as 20ms alongside smart liquidity routing and expanded multilingual support. Proprietary tools, including the Trading Black Box and Private Room, enhance trader control over pricing and execution, supporting the platform's commitment to transparency and performance. This comprehensive approach has earned external validation through 3-year recognition from World Finance – including Most Trusted Broker and Best Trading Platform awards in 2025 – as well as the Best CFD Provider award at the 2025 Online Money Awards.

"This acquisition reflects our commitment to providing both technological excellence and educational support," Barrett added. "As we establish our presence in South Africa, we're bringing not just award-winning infrastructure, but a comprehensive approach to trading that prioritises transparency, execution quality, and continuous innovation to help traders rule the markets. Our commitment is to serve South African traders with the same standards that have earned us recognition globally."
