New joint endeavor adds muscle to the companies’ work to outfit businesses in Asia with cutting-edge digital workspace security and sustainability

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IGEL, which provides the secure endpoint OS for now and next, today announced the launch of IGEL Asia, a new partnership with Channels Xchange Alliance (CXA), which will serve as IGEL’s master distributor for Asia. IGEL Asia will address the unique demands of organizations in the Asian market and expand IGEL’s presence across the region – where nearly 60% of the world’s population resides, the digital workspace market is experiencing rapid growth and demand for secure endpoint solutions is exploding.

Customers in Asia will benefit from tailored support, access to IGEL’s Preventative Security Model™ and the ability to optimize their digital workspaces while achieving improved security, lower total cost of ownership and greater sustainability. IGEL Asia will also enhance the experience of IGEL’s extensive Partner Ready Program members by providing increased opportunities to collaborate, broader market access, and support and resources for local ISVs (Internet Service Providers).

“IGEL Asia marks an important step in our global growth strategy to transform endpoint management and security across healthcare, government, financial services, retail and manufacturing,” said IGEL CEO Klaus Oestermann. “By partnering with CXA in each local market in Asia, we are enabling businesses to benefit from the ‘Simply IGEL it’ method to achieve a whole new level of security/ransomware protection, TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) reduction and sustainability.”

The IGEL Asia launch aligns with CXA’s commitment to transform endpoint TCO and security, which is especially critical at this moment as businesses in Asia have growing concerns about budgets to refresh old hardware, the rising threat of ransomware attacks and endpoint vulnerabilities affecting Windows endpoints – particularly now that Windows 10 is nearing end of life. CXA has made significant investments to establish a strong presence in Asia – securing strategic partnerships with IGEL Asia and actively building a strong vendor ecosystem with partners like Citrix, HP and Lenovo to deliver efficient solutions targeting virtual desktops, secure zero thin clients, business continuity and frontier use cases like digital signage and secure OT/IoT (Operation Technology / Internet of Things).

“CXA’s well-established presence and deep expertise in Asia position IGEL to reach more customers in new countries as we accelerate our growth across the region,” said Oestermann.

IGEL Asia, whose headquarters will reside within CXA’s new Singapore sales office, is expanding on that with a distributor and reseller recruitment campaign and various new hires. IGEL Asia brought on Malaysia-based Simon Ng, who has extensive channel growth experience, to lead business development. IGEL Asia is also hiring other business development professionals as well as building on its sales, operations, engineering and customer support teams to strengthen its expertise in delivering IGEL’s Preventative Security Model™ and ensuring that businesses can securely manage their endpoints with minimal cost and reduce their attack surfaces by 95%.

“With IGEL Asia, we are poised to lead the market by offering solutions that address the challenges of today’s endpoint management, providing cutting-edge digital workspace security and sustainability. Our holistic partner approach enables IGEL solutions to reach far and wide within Asia, providing unparalleled protection in today’s ever-evolving threat landscape,” said Alex Toh, Managing Director for IGEL Asia.

Xinhua Silk Road: Transformation helps “north China capital of daily porcelains” seek bigger global presence

BEIJING, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — When the 2026 China (Beijing) International Exquisite Ceramics Expo kicked off on November 5, 20 ceramic producers from Huairen City of Shanxi Province, north China showcased not only delicate exhibits, but also the prowess of their porcelain artisans.

The exhibition offered visitors a chance to get a glimpse of Huairen’s porcelain industry whose transformation driven by technology innovation and development philosophy change has borne delightful fruits.

In September, Huairen municipal government was included in the list of founders for establishing demonstration zones for national geographical indication protection in China and was the only one selected in Shanxi Province.

Currently, the city is capable of producing over 20 series of ceramic products such as daily porcelains, hotel porcelains, packaging porcelains and porcelain artworks, and boasts an annual full-industrial chain output value of 6.3 billion yuan.

In Huairen Economic and Technological Development Zone, 31 local enterprises engaged in ceramic raw materials production, R&D, manufacturing, testing, logistics and marketing have leveraged digital technologies to transform production.

The old production model, which relied on veteran craftsmen judging firing temperature by sight and preparing glaze based on experience, has gradually been replaced by standardized and intelligent processes.

In the workshop of a local ceramic producer, robotic arms apply glaze with high precision, and intelligent kilns independently maintain constant temperatures, cutting the production cycle by nearly 30 percent.

At present, 42 production lines in Huairen have completed intelligent upgrading, helping raise qualified product rates of local producers to 85 percent while dropping unit energy consumption by 18 percent.

While intelligent manufacturing and green development are driving cost-effective production, Huairen ceramic businesses now focus more on design and building emotional and cultural bonds with consumers.

Just like the fine exhibits they brought to the Beijing expo from November 5 to 8, ceramic products of 1,000-plus types from Huairen, including elegant tableware for hotels and co-branded products printed with Disney characters, are on display in a spacious exhibition hall in Yiwu International Trade City.

Beside the hall, a 1,000-square-meter ceramics warehouse for cross-border trade is providing global merchants with access to one-stop product selection and order-placing, bringing Huairen ceramics to daily life of global consumers.

Oceanpayment to Showcase OP Link for Cross-Border QR Payments at SFF 2026

Oceanpayment will showcase OP Link at the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) 2026, taking place November 18–20 at Singapore EXPO.

HONG KONG, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Digital wallets and QR code payments are part of everyday life worldwide. From shopping and dining to getting around, consumers rely on familiar local wallets, which may not always be accepted abroad.

Using local wallets abroad involves more than adding a payment method. Payment networks, banking systems, and clearing arrangements vary by market. Cross-border QR payments require network connections, transaction data exchange, currency conversion, clearing, and settlement.

Greater interoperability between payment networks is playing an increasingly important role in extending local payment methods across borders.

A traveler may scan a merchant’s QR code with a familiar local wallet; the merchant accepts payment through its existing QR network. Providers across markets must coordinate transaction processing and settlement.

For wallet operators, banks, and payment service providers, cross-border connectivity can extend service reach, reduce duplicate integrations, and support more consumer payment scenarios.

To address this need, Oceanpayment offers OP Link, a cross-border payment connectivity service designed to connect local wallets with payment acceptance networks across markets. OP Link provides wallet operators, banks, payment service providers, and acquiring partners with QR payment connectivity, transaction routing, and support for clearing and settlement coordination. Its capabilities include network access, currency conversion, transaction status synchronization, and cross-network reconciliation, helping simplify coordination between payment systems and extend local payment services to more cross-border consumer scenarios.

As payment networks evolve, SFF 2026 will bring together finance and technology leaders to explore five forces reshaping global finance: geoeconomics, technology, capital, talent, and policy.

At SFF 2026, Oceanpayment will highlight OP Link’s cross-border wallet connectivity and QR payment network integration capabilities. It will also present its integrated payment solutions, including Global Acquiring, Global Issuing, OPCCOUNT (Global Accounts), and OPNexus (Payment Suite & Services).

Oceanpayment has integrated more than 500 payment methods, with services available in over 230 countries and regions. It supports more than 140 transaction currencies and over 10 settlement currencies, serving more than 200,000 businesses worldwide.

Global payment connectivity is reflected in every transaction, from consumers using local wallets abroad to payment networks working across markets. Oceanpayment will continue collaborating with financial institutions and payment network partners to connect local payment capabilities with cross-border consumer needs and support global commerce.
