Wiliot Recognized as a Visionary in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Indoor Location Services

Published

on

2024 marks the first time an ambient IoT company has been recognized in this Gartner Magic Quadrant report – which Wiliot believes underscores the increased maturity of the technology ecosystem and its adoption across markets.

SAN DIEGO, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Wiliot, the Internet of Things pioneer whose ambient IoT Visibility Platform is enabling trillions of “things” to gain intelligence, today announced that it has been recognized by Gartner® as a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Indoor Location Services by Nick Jones, Annette Zimmermann and Tim Zimmerman.

This is the first time that Wiliot has been recognized in a Gartner Magic Quadrant report, and it comes on the heels of Wiliot’s recognition in eight Gartner Hype Cycle™ reports. In 2022, Wiliot was named a Cool Vendor by Gartner in their report titled, “Cool Vendors™ in Indoor Location Technologies and Sensors.”

“Supply chains and inventory management systems are more complex than ever before,” said Steve Statler, Wiliot’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Wiliot is simplifying things by providing some of the world’s largest companies – with the world’s most robust supply chains – with real-time visibility into every product, everywhere. It’s a disruptive technology that’s creating a safer, more efficient, and accountable world – and we are proud to have the company recognized by Gartner in its latest Magic Quadrant report.”

The Wiliot Visibility Platform connects the digital and physical worlds using its Cloud Platform and IoT Pixels, which are stamp-sized, low-cost, battery-free compute devices that attach to any product, connecting it to the internet and embedding it with intelligence, awareness, and triggered automation.

Data streamed from these IoT Pixels – location, temperature, humidity, and carbon footprint – are processed in the Wiliot Cloud, generating actionable insights that are creating more efficient, profitable, and sustainable supply chains and inventory management systems.

These actionable insights can trigger automated alerts that, for example, notify workers when an item has been loaded onto the wrong truck; when produce at risk of spoilage; and where specific product should be stocked by flashing its corresponding electronic shelf label.

Wiliot is currently working with many of the world’s largest companies across retail, logistics, apparel, CPG, and pharmaceuticals on ambient IoT projects.

Wiliot’s ambient IoT Visibility Platform was also recently named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2023 and Fast Company’s 2023 Next Big Things in Tech.

Lunai Bioworks Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Determination and Intention to Voluntarily Delist and Deregister

Published

on

By

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lunai Bioworks Inc. (Nasdaq: LNAI) (the “Company”) announced that on October 21, 2026, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000. The Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $(9,024,946) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, and does not meet the alternative market value of listed securities or net income standards. Because the Company is subject to a mandatory Hearings Panel Monitor under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), Nasdaq staff determined to delist the Company’s securities. Trading in the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq is expected to be suspended at the opening of business on October 30, 2026.

The Company will not request a hearing. Rather than contest the staff determination, the Company’s Board of Directors approved on October 22, 2026 the voluntary withdrawal of the Company’s common stock from listing on Nasdaq under Rule 12d2-2(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board took this action because of the staff determination and the Company’s financial condition, and concluded that the cost of continued listing and SEC reporting is not justified.

The Company notified Nasdaq of its intention on October 22, 2026. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about November 2, 2026, and expects the delisting to become effective on or about November 12, 2026. The Company then intends to file a Form 15 to suspend its SEC reporting obligations, to the extent it is eligible to do so. The Company’s SEC reporting obligations will continue unless and until they are terminated or suspended in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

The Company does not intend to arrange for quotation of its common stock on any over-the-counter market and cannot assure that any trading market for its common stock will exist after trading on Nasdaq is suspended.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expected suspension of trading, the expected timing of the Form 25 and Form 15 filings, and the expected timing of delisting and deregistration. Actual results may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties, including Nasdaq and SEC procedures and the Company’s financial condition. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements, except as required by law.
