New Service on Virtual Internet’s Global 5G Mobile Broadband Network  

SINGAPORE, Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Virtual Internet, the leader in Software 5G (Fifth Generation) Mobile Broadband technology announced Worldwide distribution of Virtual Gateway.

 

Virtual Gateway is immediately available on the Google Play Store, and will be available shortly on Apple’s App Store.

Virtual Gateway is a Wireless 5G Mobile Broadband Gateway. “VGateway” works with the next generation of Wi-Fi technology (Wi-Fi 6) to stay connected at home, work and when traveling. Virtual Gateway is a User’s Personal Portable Network and Internet Connection and much more.

Legacy Internet

Home network connections are provided by ISPs. Modems bring the Internet into buildings, into homes, and offices. Routers broadcast Modem connections through Wi-Fi; a technology which is limited to within-the-building or vehicle, because Wi-Fi is a LAN (Local Area Network) technology.

A gateway acts as both modem and router; it can network devices within an area and connect them to the Internet.

Public and Private Hotspots

A mobile hotspot is a simple wireless access point created on your Smartphone that shares typically a 3G, or 4G, connection through Wi-Fi for other devices. Generic Hotspots are beneficial when there is no access to regular Wi-Fi; they can share basic open Internet access. Generic hotspots are often open, vulnerable, and do not guarantee 5G service.

Virtual Gateway; Portable, Personal, Private

Virtual Gateway is a next generation advance over these connection technologies.

Virtual Gateway enables Portable, Personal Secure 5G Mobile Broadband services for any other devices through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB connections. VGateway shares Internet and Web access with nearby devices using its’ own connections. Virtual Gateway connects any type of device, delivering secure 5G Mobile Broadband service worldwide wherever users travel, work, or reside, providing secure, private access to any App, Website and an unlimited number of services.

Virtual Gateway; Simple Quick, Easy Reliable, and Globally Available

Virtual Gateway delivers Ease of access; it auto-generates connection details so service is established immediately with almost no effort. Virtual Gateway provides a Worldwide 5G Mobile Broadband service, a significant improvement over 3G and 4G/LTE connections.

Virtual Gateway: Mobile, In-Vehicle Networking; Google’s Android Auto, Apple Car Play, Tesla

Virtual Gateway In-Vehicle Networking is Universal; whether you set your vehicle to use Google’s Android Auto, or Apple Car Play, or Tesla Connectivity, Virtual Gateway provides 5G Mobile Broadband service, and the highest Secure Private Personal Network possible, while connecting devices in the vehicle to any App, Website and an unlimited number of services. Virtual Gateway is Mobile; it provides Always On service providing the service bridge needed when you exit the car, truck or van and lose service by Google Android Auto, Apple Car Play, and Tesla Connectivity. Virtual Gateway is always on, it goes with you wherever you go.

Virtual Gateway; Secure

Virtual Gateway connects to Virtual Internets’ Global Private 5G Broadband Network, eliminating the insecurity of public Wi-Fi threats such as like malware and man-in-the-middle attacks. Virtual Gateway protects your assets and personal information by securing your phone and other mobile devices against cyber threats while traveling, while at work or home.

Virtual Gateway; Flexible Wi-Fi 6 Advanced 5G Mobile Broadband Networking

Virtual Gateway operates over Virtual Internet 5G Global Network. Modern Smartphones are equipped with Wi-Fi 6 which delivers theoretical speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps, or Wi-Fi 5, with maximum speeds of 3.5 Gbps. All Virtual Internet Apps, Virtual Gateway, Virtual 5G, 5G Express, 5G Express Plus, Virtual Home Office, and Virtual Meet can sustain and improve these hardware capabilities. Virtual Gateway enables you to create your own Private Secure Wi-Fi Networks for any device anywhere in the world even when using public connections. This allows you to Browse, Work and Communicate securely over your own Personal Private Network instead of a public connection.  Whether you are on a train, plane, ship, bus, car, in a park, in cafes, hotels, airports, in a stadium or an arena, at a beach or in other public spaces, you can access any App, any site, any service, privately and securely no matter where you are, worldwide.

Virtual Gateway; Software based

Virtual Gateway is advanced Software; it can upgrade in seconds from anywhere in the world. Hardware products from service providers and other sellers often require hardware replacement and are often limited to specific carriers. Hardware options need separate power, and require them to be carried in addition to your Smartphone, tablet laptop or Smart TV; and hardware options are often less flexible in settings, security, and customization.

Virtual Gateway; Multiple Devices

Virtual Gateway allows multiple users or multiple devices, from SmartTVs, to Appliances, Laptops, Computers, and any Smartphone, Android or iOS, to securely network and access the Internet and your own private World Wide Web.

Virtual Gateway; Backup Connectivity

Virtual Gateway is essential for situations where traditional Internet access fails, is unstable, or are unavailable. VGateway is the reliable backup option.

Virtual Gateway; Satellite Networking

Today only the most recent Android and Apple phones have Satellite connections, mostly for Emergency SOS notifications and GPS. Satellite Networks don’t currently provide Data (Internet Access) they are limited to carrying VoIP (Voice Over IP) signals where there are no Cellular Telecommunications Towers, in remote areas.

Virtual Gateway is already positioned for Satellite to Phones.  Data shows Over 20 Million Cars now use GM OnStar, and now it is available to everyone. Virtual Gateway opens up Satellite based access to every device in every vehicle on every phone, tablet or laptop. VGateway’s Global Access to any App, Website and an unlimited number of services over a Global 5G Mobile Broadband network positions every User to get service wherever they are.

Virtual Gateway; Cost Effective

BIT Asset Management Receives FINMA Approval for Switzerland’s First and Europe’s Only Spot Bitcoin ETF

The first exchange-traded fund under Swiss law to invest directly in bitcoin, approved for retail investors in Switzerland

ZURICH, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BIT Asset Management AG (“BIT AM”), the wholly owned Swiss asset management subsidiary of BIT (www.bit.com), announced that the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) has approved the Bitcoin Fund ETF (Ticker: BBIT). As confirmed in FINMA’s announcement, it is the first exchange-traded fund in Switzerland to invest directly in bitcoin. It is currently Europe’s only spot bitcoin ETF.

The fund is expected to begin trading on SIX Swiss Exchange in November.

Bitcoin Fund ETF (BBIT)

A spot bitcoin ETF is designed to track the price of bitcoin and can be traded through an ordinary brokerage account. It holds bitcoin directly rather than futures or derivatives. This is the structure that brought bitcoin into mainstream portfolios in the United States, where BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and ten other spot bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024.

Most bitcoin products listed in Europe today are exchange-traded products (ETPs), which are debt instruments that carry issuer risk. The Bitcoin Fund ETF is instead a Swiss collective investment scheme. Its assets are held separately from those of the fund management company and are ring-fenced for investors. The fund is open to retail investors in Switzerland, not only qualified investors.

“Switzerland has established itself as a leading hub for digital assets, combining a strong financial sector, regulatory clarity and an innovative ecosystem,” said John Ge, CEO of BIT Group. “For BIT Group, this makes Switzerland a natural choice for our continued international expansion. Launching the first Swiss Bitcoin ETF is an important milestone for us, reflecting our long-term commitment to the Swiss market and our ambition to bridge traditional finance with emerging technologies.”

“With BBIT, we set out to create a truly Swiss Bitcoin ETF, from fund management and custody to its listing on SIX Swiss Exchange. Investors gain direct exposure to Bitcoin through a FINMA-approved Swiss investment fund, benefiting from the regulatory oversight and investor protections of Switzerland’s established collective investment scheme framework.” said Dominik Oggenfuss, CEO of BIT Asset Management. “Investors can now access bitcoin through an ordinary Swiss bank account, with Swiss fund governance, independent custody and daily transparency on holdings.”

Disclaimer: Investing in the Bitcoin Fund ETF involves a high degree of risk, and you may lose all of your capital. The fund is classified under the Swiss regulatory category “Other alternative investment funds” with particular risk and invests exclusively in Bitcoin, which is extremely volatile. The investment fund risks are not comparable to those of securities funds, and temporary borrowing may increase its total risk exposure to a maximum of 125% of its net asset value. Investors should read the fund documentation and risk warnings before investing. The fund is approved for public offering in Switzerland only. This announcement is for information only and is not an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction. It is not directed at persons in the US or at U.S. persons.

ISHCMC expands academic pathways, giving students more ways to shape their futures

New Personalized Diploma Program builds on ISHCMC’s academic legacy, offering greater choice for Grades 11 and 12 while retaining the full IB Diploma Programme.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) will introduce a new Personalized Diploma Program (PDP) from August 2027, expanding academic choices for students in Grades 11 and 12 alongside its established International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).

Building on a learning community shaped by generations of students, educators and families since 1993, the expanded model gives students more ways to shape their senior studies around their strengths, interests and future ambitions. Through a combination of academic choice and educator guidance, ISHCMC aims to help each student make informed decisions about their next steps while contributing to a community that continues to grow with every generation.

Different pathways. A future shaped over generations.

The full IBDP will remain an important part of ISHCMC’s academic offering. The PDP provides an alternative for students seeking a different combination of subjects, bringing together individual IB Diploma courses, Advanced Placement (AP) courses and ISHCMC courses within a personalized program.

Both pathways lead to the ISHCMC High School Diploma, with additional qualifications available depending on the courses taken and assessments completed. Students completing the full IBDP may also earn the IB Diploma by meeting the International Baccalaureate’s requirements. Students following the PDP may earn individual IB course and AP certificates, depending on their course choices and assessment results.

The expanded model recognizes that students may have different interests, strengths and intended university destinations. Rather than expecting every student to follow the same route, ISHCMC will support students in exploring the options available and building an academic program suited to their goals.

“At ISHCMC, every generation benefits from what those before them have built, while adding something of their own. Expanding our academic pathways is about giving students more ways to build on their strengths, pursue their ambitions and shape their futures, supported by the experience and community that have grown here over generations.” Mr. Marco Longmore, Head of School.

Guidance that carries learning forward

Choosing a senior academic pathway is an important decision for students and their families. University requirements vary by country, institution and degree program, making informed subject selection an essential part of planning for life after school.

ISHCMC’s High School and Future Pathways teams will work with students and families to explore course options, understand relevant university entry requirements and make considered decisions about their academic direction. Both pathways can support university applications, with eligibility depending on the qualifications completed and the requirements of each university and program.

The PDP is not intended to be a less demanding alternative to the full IBDP. It offers a different way to structure senior studies around individual goals and course choices, with the expectations and requirements of each course remaining central to the student’s academic experience.

“Every student’s next steps will look different, and our role is to help them understand what those steps require. By working closely with students and families, we can connect individual interests with informed academic choices, helping students approach their future plans with greater clarity and purpose.” Mr. Kohulan Jeganathan, High School Principal.

The new model will begin in August 2027. Ahead of entry into Grades 11 and 12, ISHCMC will work with students and families to explain the available pathways, explore course options and support planning for the transition into senior school. Families can contact the ISHCMC High School and Future Pathways teams to discuss the options and relevant academic requirements.

About the International School Ho Chi Minh City

Established in 1993, the International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) is a full-continuum IB international school in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, offering education from Early Years through Grade 12. Its community brings together families from more than 60 nationalities.
