Breakthrough Wi-Spot 3.0 Devices Powered by Wireless Electricity Can Be Installed Anywhere for Ultimate Convenience

TEL AVIV, Israel, July 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Wi-Charge, the global leader in wireless electricity, announced today the availability of new wirelessly powered digital displays designed to improve conference room booking solutions in office buildings. The Wi-Spot 3.0 devices, which have already experienced rapid adoption in the retail industry, incorporate Wi-Charge’s breakthrough wireless charging technology to enable companies to install these conference room displays anywhere in the office without drilling holes or running wires, making installations on glass, wood, sliding doors, and other surfaces easier than ever.

With an accelerating return of workers to the office, organizations are taking a fresh look at how technology can improve in-office conference room management, communications, and collaboration. In response to this market need, Wi-Charge has rearchitected its Wi-Spot video displays for installation in the hundreds of thousands of offices struggling to manage conference room bookings and co-working spaces. The Wi-Spot displays provide important company information on meeting room occupancy, important corporate or office announcements, and engaging video content promoting company events and culture. The Wi-Spot, which at seven inches is similar in appearance to an iPad or Android tablet, easily integrates with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook Calendar, and workplace management applications, including Robin and Envoy.

One of the challenges of installing digital displays in offices is avoiding the hassle and expense of running additional wires and outlets throughout the office to keep them powered, particularly when they are attached to a glass or expensive wood conference room door. Wi-Charge has overcome these issues through its breakthrough and patented wireless electricity system, which consists of a transmitter, easily installed in the ceiling, that sends an infrared light to a receiver embedded in the Wi-Spot display that converts the light to electricity to power the device. A video explaining how the wireless electricity technology works can be found here.

By eliminating the need to run wiring to the devices, the Wi-Spot provides building operators and office managers with a number of benefits, including:

Eliminates/lowers the cost and time of creating wiring schematicsReduces the cost of permit reviews and electrical certificationsSimplifies the installation process, reducing the complicated coordination of multiple subcontractors at the same time typically required when installing wired devices.

“Wi-Charge’s wirelessly powered displays provide the ideal solution for our corporate customers who want to leverage their investment in office space to improve company collaboration, culture, and business performance,” said Marissa Eyon, owner of FASTSIGNS of Springfield, VA. “The Wi-Spot solution is perfect for conference rooms with glass walls and doors, and content can even be customized to instruct nightly crews on which rooms to clean and which to ignore. I expect to see Wi-Spots in every office and conference room in the coming months and years.”

“We’re excited to watch a growing number of buildings being outfitted with wirelessly powered video displays. Initial customers have bought Wi-Spots to use on sliding glass doors but have used them throughout the building as they got used to the ease of installation offered by wireless power,” said Ori Mor, chief business officer, Wi-Charge. “We have no doubt we’ll see more and more wireless solutions adopted across smart buildings and commercial office space.”

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
