Program certifies leading private wireless and security integrators to deliver Zero Trust network access security, automated device onboarding, and managed services at scale

BOSTON, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OneLayer, the leader in private LTE/5G asset management and Zero Trust security, today announced the launch of the Sentry Partner Program, a formal channel initiative certifying specialized private wireless and security integrators to deliver Zero Trust network access security, automated device onboarding, and managed services to enterprise customers. Founding Sentry partners include Burns & McDonnell, DFND Security, Future Technologies Ventures (FTV), Heddian, Industrial Networking Solutions (INS), Logicalis, MCA, STEP CG, and WWT, firms with established expertise in private wireless infrastructure and enterprise security systems integration.

Enterprises running private LTE and 5G networks, as well as those operating across multi-carrier private APN environments, face device visibility and security challenges that traditional IT tools were not designed to solve. Sentry-certified partners are equipped to deliver Zero Trust network access security, automated SIM provisioning to reduce deployment costs, and consolidated visibility across all carrier deployments from a single management platform.

“Cellular APN customers have struggled to identify and secure devices used across multiple carriers,” said Tyler Larkin, General Manager of Cellular Networking Solutions at MCA. “OneLayer’s platform provides the single pane of glass to monitor and enforce policies universally.”

Sentry partners receive a commercial structure designed to support both deal acquisition and long-term retention. Benefits include complimentary access to OneLayer Scout for pre-deployment site surveys and device inventories, Market Development Funds, SPIF incentives, and deal registration margins. The program also offers sales and technical certifications for partners who have invested in building competency in selling and deploying OneLayer solutions. OneLayer interoperates with a broad range of private cellular ecosystem vendors, including Ericsson, Nokia, Cisco, HPE Athonet, Druid, Celona, Digi, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, ServiceNow, and others.

“Utility networks are critical communications infrastructure, and the stakes for device visibility and security across those environments have never been higher,” said Joe Walsh, CEO of Heddian. “OneLayer gives utilities the control and insight they need to manage and secure every device on their private and carrier APN networks, and the Sentry Program gives us the structure to deliver that at scale.”

“Enterprises are deploying private cellular networks at unprecedented scale, and the partners who support those deployments determine whether those networks are secure, visible, and operationally sound,” said Dave Mor, CEO of OneLayer. “The Sentry Program is our commitment to giving those partners the tools, economics, and certification they need to build high-value practices around private cellular security.”

“Burns & McDonnell has been actively working on one of the hard, yet unseen challenges, of standing up a private cellular network: Low-touch provisioning,” said Daniel Bayouth, PE, Director of Networks & Wireless, Burns & McDonnell. “OneLayer will play a critical role, the collaboration has been fantastic.”

“Private cellular is moving fast, and our customers need solutions that combine connectivity with security and operational control,” said Bob Olwig, Executive Vice President of Global Partner Alliances of World Wide Technology. “The Sentry Program gives us a structured path to build and scale that capability for our clients.”

“Private cellular and carrier APN deployments are increasingly central to how our enterprise customers operate, yet visibility and security across those environments has remained a persistent gap,” said Christopher Mahar, CEO of CID Group. “OneLayer closes that gap in a way that maps directly to what our customers need, and the Sentry Program gives us a clear, supported path to deliver it.”

“Private cellular deployments are growing in complexity, and our customers expect us to deliver security and visibility alongside connectivity,” said Peter Cappiello, CEO of Future Technologies Venture. “OneLayer is a natural extension of what we already bring to market, strengthening our ability to deliver trusted, end-to-end solutions.”

“As private cellular moves into large-scale, complex enterprise deployments, the bar has shifted. Connectivity is table stakes — security and device visibility must be native to the network,” said Ed Walton, CEO of STEP CG. “OneLayer meets that standard, and the Sentry Program enables us to operationalize it across any customer environment.”

Program Leadership

OneLayer’s channel program is led by Trevor Failor, Director of Strategic Alliances, a cybersecurity veteran with extensive enterprise security go-to-market experience, with technical program leadership provided by Ray Clounch, Channel Technical Director, whose background spans private wireless architecture and deployment at scale.

DONGGUAN, China, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Luxshare Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (“Luxshare-ICT” or the “Company”) officially released its 2025 Annual Report, reporting solid growth across key financial indicators while continuing to strengthen its global precision manufacturing platform.

In 2025, the Company achieved operating revenue of RMB 332.34 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 23.64%. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company reached RMB 16.60 billion, up 24.20% year-on-year, while net profit excluding non-recurring gains and losses reached RMB 14.17 billion, an increase of 21.16% year-on-year.  

The Company’s 2025 performance was delivered against a complex external environment marked by supply chain regionalization, trade policy uncertainty, raw material cost fluctuations, memory price increases and foreign exchange volatility. Despite these challenges, Luxshare-ICT maintained stable operations, reflecting the resilience of its diversified business structure, global manufacturing footprint, vertical integration capabilities and disciplined operational management.

Management believes that the true strength of an enterprise is demonstrated not only by its ability to grow in favorable cycles, but also by its capacity to sustain performance amid uncertainty. In 2025, Luxshare-ICT continued to deepen its core businesses, invest in emerging opportunities and reinforce the foundation for long-term growth.

A Diversified Business Portfolio Supporting Sustainable Growth

During the reporting period, Luxshare-ICT continued to focus on three core areas: consumer electronics, communications and data centers, and automotive electronics. These businesses collectively contributed to the Company’s revenue growth and enhanced its ability to navigate market cycles.

In consumer electronics, the Company further strengthened its full-scenario product coverage and vertical integration capabilities. The development of edge AI devices, AI smartphones, AI PCs, smart wearables, AR/VR devices and smart home products has created new opportunities for precision components, modules and system-level solutions. By integrating ODM capabilities and R&D resources, Luxshare-ICT enhanced its ability to support customers from product definition, industrial design and process development to high-yield mass production and full lifecycle services.

In communications and data centers, the rapid development of artificial intelligence continued to drive demand for high-performance computing infrastructure. The Company’s communications and data center business achieved revenue of RMB 24.57 billion in 2025, representing year-on-year growth of 33.81%, with gross margin improving by 2 percentage points to 18.40%.   This business has become an increasingly important growth driver as global customers accelerate investment in AI servers, high-speed interconnect, optical connectivity, thermal management and power management solutions.

In automotive electronics, the Company made significant progress in expanding its global Tier 1 capabilities. Revenue from automotive electronics reached RMB 39.25 billion in 2025, representing year-on-year growth of 185.34%, supported by both organic business expansion and the consolidation of Leoni.   The Company continued to develop a broad portfolio covering automotive wiring harnesses, high-voltage and low-voltage connectors, high-speed connectors, intelligent cockpit systems, advanced driver-assistance solutions and intelligent chassis-related products.

Global Manufacturing Network Enhancing Operational Resilience

Globalization remains a key pillar of Luxshare-ICT’s long-term strategy. In 2025, the Company further expanded and optimized its global manufacturing network. Building on its established overseas capacity in Vietnam and other regions, the integration of Leoni further extended the Company’s manufacturing footprint across five continents, with more than 100 production sites worldwide.  

This global footprint allows the Company to better support customers’ regional supply chain strategies, provide localized delivery, improve responsiveness and reduce exposure to single-region operational risks. As global supply chains continue to evolve, Luxshare-ICT’s cross-regional manufacturing and delivery capabilities have become an important competitive advantage.

The integration of Leoni also represents an important milestone in the Company’s automotive globalization strategy. By bringing together Leoni’s established global customer base and production network with Luxshare-ICT’s strengths in precision manufacturing, digital management and operational efficiency, the Company has created new opportunities in automotive wiring harnesses and broader automotive electronics. According to management, Leoni achieved profitability improvement in the first year of integration, providing a strong foundation for future collaboration with global automotive customers.  

Vertical Integration and Smart Manufacturing as Core Competitive Advantages

Luxshare-ICT’s value proposition extends beyond manufacturing scale. The Company has built a vertically integrated platform covering precision components, modules and system-level solutions across multiple end markets. Its technical capabilities span acoustics, optics, electrical interconnect, thermal management, magnetics, radio frequency, precision structures and system integration.  

This broad technology foundation enables the Company to support customers throughout the product lifecycle, from early concept development, design validation and process development to trial production, mass production and after-sales services.

At the same time, Luxshare-ICT continues to advance smart manufacturing and digital operations. Through the application of digital systems, AI algorithms, machine vision, IoT-enabled data collection and standardized operating processes, the Company is improving production efficiency, quality consistency and cross-region replication capabilities. These capabilities are particularly important as customers require faster product iteration, more flexible capacity deployment and more resilient global supply chains.

Disciplined Investment for Future Growth

In 2025, Luxshare-ICT continued to make forward-looking investments in areas such as edge AI devices, AI data centers, automotive electronics, advanced manufacturing equipment and global infrastructure. Management noted that a significant portion of the Company’s R&D investment is directed toward technologies and products expected to support future business opportunities, particularly in communications and data centers.  

The Company also emphasized that its capital expenditure cycle has passed a stage of peak demand. Prior investments in overseas facilities, infrastructure and capacity construction are expected to support multi-scenario reuse across consumer electronics, AI computing and automotive businesses, improving long-term asset utilization efficiency.  

Looking Ahead

Looking forward, Luxshare-ICT will continue to focus on its core strategy of technology leadership, vertical integration, smart manufacturing and global delivery. The Company will further strengthen its presence in consumer electronics, communications and data centers, and automotive electronics, while continuing to support global customers in product innovation and supply chain optimization.

As artificial intelligence, electrification, intelligent mobility and supply chain regionalization reshape the global technology and manufacturing landscape, Luxshare-ICT believes that its diversified business portfolio, global manufacturing network and system-level engineering capabilities position the Company to capture long-term growth opportunities and create sustainable value for customers, partners and shareholders.
