DOCOMO and Abside Networks

Sign Memorandum of Understanding on HAPS

— Joint Study on AI-Driven HAPS Communications Technologies —

TOKYO, JAPAN, — BOSTON, USA, October 14, 2026 --- NTT DOCOMO, INC. and Abside Networks, Inc. signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on October 13, 2026, toward the development of future communications infrastructure utilizing high-altitude platform stations (HAPS*1) and realizing of next-generation networks leveraging artificial intelligence (AI). Going forward, the two companies will conduct joint studies toward future collaboration in areas including wide-area, high-capacity and massive-connectivity communications using HAPS, network control and data utilization.

Background

DOCOMO has been conducting studies and demonstrations toward the realization of wide-area communications services utilizing HAPS. To deliver high-quality communications services via HAPS, it is important to develop radio access networks (RANs) and communications equipment suited to the stratospheric environment. As conditions in the stratosphere differ from those on the ground, communications equipment and network design must be adapted accordingly, requiring specialized knowledge and experience.

Abside has many years of experience in stratospheric communications. Through Project Loon*2, Abside developed knowledge and experience in stratospheric communications and has been engaged in the development of HAPS communications equipment and RAN technologies. Abside is also developing non-terrestrial network (Non-Terrestrial Network, NTN) technologies and AI-based network control technologies.

As a result, the two companies confirmed that their respective visions and technologies may be complementary and signed the MOU to jointly explore potential future collaboration toward networks that integrate the ground, stratosphere and space.

Scope

Under the Initiative, the two companies will jointly study technical collaboration for the future use of HAPS. The principal areas of study are as follows:

- System architectures for wide-area, high-capacity and massive-connectivity communications using HAPS

- Application of AI to demand forecasting and the control of beams, capacity, spectrum and interference in stratospheric RANs

- Collection and utilization of data relating to communications quality, network operations and sensing in the stratosphere

- Future integration with external applications and service platforms

Future Outlook

DOCOMO is independently studying a future network vision based on a three-dimensional communications infrastructure that integrates AI with NTN initiatives, including HAPS. The vision aims to address growing communications demand accompanying the expanding use of AI by realizing wide-area, high-capacity communications and advanced network control using NTNs, including the stratosphere, in addition to terrestrial networks. Its realization will require RAN and network orchestration technologies capable of integrated control across terrestrial networks (Terrestrial Network, TN) and NTNs.

Abside is developing radio equipment for TN and NTN RANs that uses a large number of antenna elements (Very Large Array) to enable high-spatial-resolution and precise beam control Abside is also developing an AI-driven software platform that provides integrated control of networks across the ground, stratosphere and space.

Going forward, the two companies will bring together their respective expertise and technologies and pursue joint studies toward the realization of next-generation communications infrastructure utilizing HAPS and AI.

- Unmanned aerial platforms that operate in the stratosphere at an altitude of approximately 20 kilometers. By equipping the platforms with wireless communications equipment, HAPS is being studied as a means of providing coverage in areas that have traditionally been difficult to serve, including airspace and maritime regions, as well as underserved locations such as sparsely populated and mountainous regions where conventional coverage has not been economically viable.

- A stratospheric communications project led by Google that sought to provide communications services using high-altitude balloons. For more information, please visit: https://x.company/projects/loon/

From Blackwell Ultra systems for today's AI deployments to next-generation Rubin, Vera CPU and Spectrum-X, Compal combines engineering, rack integration and global manufacturing to turn accelerated computing into deployable AI capacity—faster.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In the race to build AI infrastructure, access to the latest accelerator is only the beginning. The real advantage comes from how quickly that technology can be engineered into validated systems, manufactured at scale and deployed as usable AI capacity.

At OCP Global Summit 2026, Compal Electronics, Inc. (Compal; TWSE: 2324) will showcase how it is shortening that journey across generations of NVIDIA accelerated computing—from NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra and NVIDIA Rubin GPU to NVIDIA Vera CPU, NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet and rack-scale systems.

For cloud service providers, enterprises and AI infrastructure operators, the goal is clear: shorter time-to-AI.

Rather than treating each new processor generation as an isolated product launch, Compal brings together server engineering, direct liquid cooling, rack integration, system validation, supply chain management and global manufacturing to accelerate the transition from new architecture to production-ready AI infrastructure.

Deploy Today: Turning Blackwell Ultra into AI Capacity

For organizations scaling AI today, deployment speed matters alongside compute performance. Compal's OG430-2-L1, a 4U direct liquid-cooled server based on NVIDIA HGX B300 platform with eight NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs, is engineered for demanding AI training, reasoning, inference and HPC workloads—and for the realities of deploying high-density computing in modern data centers.

Compal combines platform engineering with direct liquid cooling, system validation, rack integration and manufacturing readiness to reduce the engineering complexity between adopting next-generation accelerated computing and putting it into production.

The result is more than compute performance: it is a practical path toward turning advanced GPU technology into usable AI capacity at scale.

Ready for What's Next: Engineering for Rubin

While NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra powers the AI infrastructure being deployed today, Compal is already engineering for the next wave of accelerated computing.

The OG231-2-L1, combining Intel processors with NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8, demonstrates Compal's early engineering readiness for increasingly demanding reasoning and inference workloads. Compal will further showcase a 44U NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8, extending its expertise beyond individual servers into rack-scale integration.

By engineering across system architecture, liquid cooling, validation and rack integration early in the technology cycle, Compal is building the foundation customers need to prepare for the next major transition in AI computing—reducing the distance between next-generation architecture and real-world deployment.

Beyond the GPU: Connecting the New AI System

The next generation of AI will not run on GPUs alone. Agentic AI is increasing CPU-intensive requirements for data processing, orchestration, tool use and code execution, while larger AI clusters require increasingly powerful networking to keep compute resources connected.

Compal's showcase therefore extends beyond GPU systems with a 1U NVIDIA Vera CPU compute tray and the NVIDIA Spectrum-X SN6600 Ethernet switch, supporting up to 128 ports of 800GbE connectivity.

Together, these technologies reflect a broader shift toward AI systems in which GPU, CPU and networking operate as interconnected computing engines. Compal's role is to engineer across those boundaries—integrating compute, thermal design, connectivity and rack architecture into systems ready for data center deployment.

From Silicon to Deployment

With engineering expertise spanning server design, liquid cooling, rack integration and validation, backed by global manufacturing and supply chain capabilities, Compal helps customers move faster from emerging AI architectures to production environments.

"AI innovation is moving at extraordinary speed, but new silicon only creates value when it can be turned into infrastructure customers can deploy and scale," said Alan Chang, Vice President of Compal's Infrastructure Systems Business Group. "Our strength is in the engineering around the technology—integrating, cooling, connecting and validating each new generation, then bringing it to production at scale. From NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra to Rubin GPU, Vera CPU and Spectrum-X, we are helping customers shorten the path from the latest architecture to usable AI capacity."

At OCP Global Summit 2026, Compal will demonstrate not simply what comes next in accelerated computing, but how to make what comes next deployable. Because in AI infrastructure, the next breakthrough is not just faster compute—it is faster deployment.

About Compal

Established in 1984, Compal has grown into a leading global manufacturer of computers and smart devices, partnering with top-tier brands worldwide. Compal was recognized by CommonWealth Magazine as one of Taiwan's top 10 manufacturers and has consistently ranked among the Forbes Global 2000 companies.

New Membrane Design Advances Carbon Capture

TIANJIN, China, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A research team at Tianjin University has developed a new type of all-organic mixed-matrix membrane that could offer a more efficient and scalable approach to carbon capture by combining high separation performance with long-term stability and large-scale processability.

The study was published online in Nature Energy on Oct. 7 under the title "All-organic mixed-matrix membranes with single-crystal covalent organic frameworks for carbon capture."

Membrane separation has attracted growing attention for carbon capture because of its potential advantages in energy efficiency and environmental performance. However, separating CO2 from industrial flue gas remains challenging, requiring membranes that can transport CO2 rapidly while effectively separating other gases and maintaining stable performance over time.

Mixed-matrix membranes combine the processability of polymers with the efficient molecular transport properties of porous fillers, but their development has long been limited by compatibility problems between the two components. Porous particles can aggregate or settle within polymers, while overly strong filler-polymer interactions may restrict polymer movement or block transport pathways.

To address the problem, the Tianjin University team, led by professors Jiang Zhongyi and He Guangwei, proposed a "weak-interaction inlaying" strategy. Instead of simply strengthening filler-polymer interactions, the researchers balanced interactions between the filler and polymer with those among filler particles.

Using single-crystal covalent organic frameworks, or COFs, as porous fillers, the team achieved uniform incorporation at high loading within a polymer matrix. The resulting membrane retained the flexibility and solution processability of the polymer, while the ordered pores of the COF crystals provided efficient pathways for CO2 transport.

Tests using simulated flue gas showed an order-of-magnitude increase in CO2 permeability, setting a new record. It also showed strong long-term stability, with performance remaining consistent during extended operation and under conditions containing water vapor, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides.

A preliminary techno-economic analysis estimated a carbon capture cost of about 38 U.S. dollars per tonne of CO2 under the assumptions used in the study.

The researchers said this work could open up a new direction for mixed-matrix membrane molecular separations and support future applications in carbon capture from power generation, cement and steel production.

Behind a water wall on NE First Avenue, Boca Raton gets its own private club

THE SANBORN

The Sanborn wins unanimous city approval for an eight-story members' club opening in 2028

BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sanborn, a private members' club at 100 NE First Avenue, won unanimous approval Tuesday from the Boca Raton Community Redevelopment Agency. The club will open in 2028 across from Sanborn Square, the park it's named for, as downtown Boca Raton's first private members' club.

For now, The Sanborn is keeping most of what's inside to itself. It will share a few things: a speakeasy, and a cigar lounge where members keep their own humidor lockers. A game room has golf and Formula 1 simulators. On the roof, a pool deck gives way to a sunset lounge with fire pits that looks out over all of downtown.

The club's calendar won't stop at its front door. Members can expect private evenings like watch showcases, days out on the water and philanthropic work in the community, planned for the people who belong.

The rest, including the restaurants, the chefs behind them and what happens on the supper club stage, will be announced in the months ahead.

"We'd rather people discover it," said Steven Newman, one of the founders of The Sanborn. "It's a club for people who live here. You'll walk in, someone will know your name, and there will always be something you haven't found yet."

The club's guiding idea is "Intuitively yours." Membership will be by application and invitation, for people in Boca Raton and its neighboring towns who want a club that feels like theirs.

Silver Street Hospitality, founded by James Gersten and behind more than 75 restaurant openings, is developing the club's restaurants and bars. HDA Architects of Boca Raton designed the building.

Tuesday's vote follows a unanimous vote by the city's Planning and Zoning Board on Oct. 1. The club meets the downtown code without variances, with valet parking in an automated garage below the building and additional parking offsite.

People who want to hear first about membership can write to [email protected].

The wellness hospitality brand debuts a new name and identity with culinary, spa and education events November 5 and 7.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Culinary & Cannabis, the nurse-founded cannabis experience company, is relaunching as Savor & Solace, a wellness hospitality brand built around culinary discovery, cannabis education and restorative self-care. The new brand debuts in Los Angeles with three experiences: Savor & Solace Table on November 5, followed by The Canna Spa by Savor & Solace and Savor & Solace Sessions on November 7.

Founded nearly a decade ago by registered nurse Tamara Anderson, the company has hosted more than 120 experiences across nine cities, including New York, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City and San Francisco, welcoming more than 2,900 guests. Its events pair chef-led food, CBD spa services, wellness treatments and plant education in settings designed for curious adults, from first-timers to healthcare professionals.

"Cannabis has always been part of what we do, but cannabis was never the entire story," said Anderson. "The real purpose has always been education, experience and giving people a comfortable space to explore something they may have questions about. Savor & Solace reflects the company we have been growing into for years."

A Nurse's Approach to Cannabis

As a nurse, Anderson saw conversations about cannabis happening at two extremes: stigma and misinformation on one side, consumption-focused parties on the other. She built the company for the space in between, creating beautiful, controlled environments where adults could learn about the plant beyond smoking, and where her own nursing colleagues and physicians would feel comfortable attending.

Following a cancer diagnosis and continuing health challenges, Anderson stepped back from producing events. The pause sharpened her focus on rest, restoration and quality of life, and on building a sustainable company that lets her prioritize her health while continuing the work she believes in.

"We are not here to tell people cannabis is a cure-all," Anderson said. "We are here to help adults become more informed. I want people to feel comfortable asking questions, discovering something new and understanding that wellness is personal."

Why Savor & Solace

Savor stands for food, gathering and sensory experience. Solace stands for comfort, restoration and the idea that guests should leave feeling better than when they arrived. The new name makes room for a company that had already grown beyond cannabis and food into education, wellness and hospitality. Cannabis remains central to the experience without defining every part of it.

The rebrand introduces a softer visual identity built on botanical forms and a rising sun, in warm cream, blush rose, soft peach, muted sage and blue-gray. The brand promise is three words: Ritual. Nourish. Restore. Savor & Solace now operates as one parent brand with distinct experiences beneath it, so guests can enter through whichever experience speaks to them most.

The November Experiences

Savor & Solace Table (November 5): The brand's chef-led culinary series, weaving plant education into an evening of dining, tastings and conversation.

The Canna Spa by Savor & Solace (November 7): One of Anderson's most recognized concepts returns under the new brand, pairing massage, facials and CBD-centered wellness services with food, beverages, music and brand activations.

Savor & Solace Sessions (November 7):The educational arm of the brand, featuring expert-led conversations and workshops that make cannabis more approachable for adult audiences.

All experiences are open to guests 21 and over.

What Comes Next

The Los Angeles launch is the first step in a larger plan. Savor & Solace Suites will offer media, talent, gifting and partner hospitality, with a long-term vision for Savor & Solace House, a permanent wellness hospitality destination. The company is also building partnerships across wellness, hospitality, culinary, beauty and cannabis, bringing brands into the experience through education, product discovery and curated activations rather than logo placement.

"The cannabis industry does not need more parties. It needs more opportunities for education, authentic connection and elevated hospitality," Anderson said. "I want people to eat incredible food, rest, connect and discover something they did not know before they walked through the door. Cannabis does not have to be the loudest thing in the room for us to have an important conversation about it."

Tamara Anderson is available for interviews.

About Savor & Solace

Savor & Solace, formerly Culinary & Cannabis, is a nurse-founded wellness hospitality brand creating culinary, educational and restorative experiences for curious adults. Through chef-led dining, plant education, restorative wellness and partner hospitality, the brand creates spaces where adults can gather, discover, unwind and explore wellness in a more informed way.
