Published

on

PHOENIX, March 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ubiik, a leading provider of private 4G/5G solutions, is proud to announce that it has successfully enabled Satellite NTN IoT service on its Pyxis 5G LPWA Edge Router via the device’s iSIM (integrated SIM). This latest development provides flexibility for the end user to failover from a private or public network to Satellite NTN, without the need for a physical SIM or even eSIM.

“Pyxis 5G LPWA demonstrates our continued focus on integrating the latest relevant technologies to deliver the best value, security and ease-of-use to our customers”, said Fabien Petitgrand, Ubiik’s CTO. “It leverages the secure 3GPP-compliant iSIM, directly built into the secure element of the chipset for the highest level of security, together with Release 17 5G LPWA (Cat-M1, Cat-NB2) for the most ubiquitous coverage ever”. Pyxis 5G LPWA has the unique ability to connect to private networks, including on the license-free 902-928MHz – together with FCC-certified freeRAN™ Base Station – or the upcoming Release 19 Band 111, as well as public networks across North America, and even NTN on B255/256, all with a single-profile Monogoto SIM. With its dual-SIM support (iSIM + physical SIM), it is the most future-proof 5G LPWA edge router on the market.

To bring the Pyxis 5G LPWA to market, the Ubiik team has partnered with Kigen, a world leader in secure iSIM technology, and Monogoto, whose MVNO service is enabled inside the iSIM. Hailed as the next generation of SIM technology, the use of an iSIM is revolutionary for IoT connectivity due to the reduction in size, power consumption, and cost.

“Ubiik’s Pyxis 5G LPWA edge router demonstrates how Kigen’s iSIM delivers robust security and reliable connectivity at the edge of mission-critical utility networks—where resilience is critical,” said Vincent Korstanje, CEO of Kigen. “As the first commercially available iSIM-enabled solution for satellite NTN with seamless terrestrial failover, it sets a new standard for secure, always-on smart utility infrastructure.”

The addition of Monogoto’s MVNO service allows the user to choose to failover to a public or NTN network of their choice. A range of affordable “Pay As You Go” plans are available to suit individual use cases, or it can be used exclusively as a private network at no cost.

“We are very excited to see software-defined connectivity becoming a reality. The virtualization of SIM into the hardware of Ubiik’s Pyxis 5G LPWA router is a perfect example of how friction is being removed, enabling enterprises to integrate connectivity in a much more seamless and efficient way,” said Maor Efrati, CTO and Co-founder of Monogoto. “By embedding our MVNO service inside the iSIM, businesses gain unparalleled ability to scale their IoT deployments with the reliability of public networks, the flexibility of private networks and the extended reach of Satellite NTN.”

Transforming IoT Use Cases

Pyxis 5G LPWA supports both Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1/2 (aka LTE-M and NB-IOT), the only 3GPP technologies to fulfill 5G mMTC (massive Machine-Type-Communication) requirements, and which provide a path forward to be connected directly to a 5G SA Core. They are also the only technologies which have Satellite NTN support from Release 17 onward. Contrary to Cat-1bis and other legacy LTE categories, these provide the most future-proof and versatile connectivity options for a wide range of moderate throughput, long-range, reliable communication.

Combined with freeRAN 5G LPWA Base Station, Pyxis 5G LPWA can be used to deploy a private Cat-M1 network in the license-free 902-928MHz. With 3MHz of license-free spectrum for downlink and 12MHz for uplink, it can support a wide range of applications, from connecting sensors or smart meters to surveillance cameras (Cat-M1 throughput of >200kbps per Pyxis and >3Mbps per freeRAN enables at least 8 concurrent HD 10fps H265 video streams).

Visit Monogoto at MWC25, booth 5151, to explore the starter kit, and meet Ubiik at DistribuTECH in Dallas, Texas, March 24-27, 2025, to learn more about the Pyxis 5G LPWA Edge Router.

AULUMU Introduces the ADuo Particle Aramid Fiber Case for iPhone Duo

Published

1500D aramid fiber meets a universe-inspired particle array, combining technical aesthetics with everyday protection

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AULUMU, the design-driven accessories brand known for blending futuristic aesthetics with functional engineering, introduces the ADuo Particle Aramid Fiber Case for iPhone Duo. Part of the brand’s Particle Series, the new case combines a lightweight 1500D aramid-fiber construction with a distinctive particle-array design, dual-screen protection, and MagSafe compatibility in a slim, technical form.

Inspired by the primordial order of the universe and tactical aesthetics, the ADuo Particle transforms a finely woven surface into a dynamic visual composition. Its precisely arranged particles create a sense of depth and structure, evoking the ubiquitous particles found throughout the universe. The result is a design that balances visual complexity with a restrained, functional aesthetic.

At the core of the ADuo Particle is 1500D aramid fiber, selected for its refined woven texture and lightweight strength. The finely woven material creates a distinctive tactile surface while maintaining a slim profile for everyday carrying. A skin-friendly coating further enhances grip and makes routine cleaning easier, bringing material refinement and practical usability together.

The ADuo Particle is available in two finishes, each interpreting the particle-array concept through a different visual language. Abyss Blue features a UV-processed gradient particle array, creating a sense of depth through a gradual shift in color. Polar Black combines glossy particles with black aramid fabric, producing a subtle interplay of light and shadow that changes with the viewing angle. Together, the two colorways offer distinct expressions of the same technical design language.

Beyond its visual identity, the ADuo Particle integrates a series of protective details designed for everyday use. A full-coverage PC protective frame surrounds the front screen, helping protect its edges and corners. An aluminum-alloy camera guard adds protection around the camera area, while raised edges around the screen and camera help reduce direct contact with surrounding surfaces. These elements complement the slim construction without adding unnecessary visual bulk.

The case also supports compatible MagSafe accessories, extending its functionality beyond basic device protection. Users can pair it with magnetic accessories, including the AULUMU G09 Mag Stand, to create a more flexible setup for everyday work, viewing, and mobile use. By combining magnetic compatibility with a refined aramid-fiber exterior, the ADuo Particle fits naturally into a technical, minimalist everyday carry setup.

The ADuo Particle reflects AULUMU’s ongoing approach to product design: bringing material innovation, functional details, and a distinctive industrial aesthetic into everyday technology accessories. Rather than treating protection and appearance as separate priorities, the case integrates both into a cohesive design built around the character of the device and the needs of daily use.

AULUMU is also developing two additional ADuo Aramid Fiber Case variations: a distinctive all-white edition and a gradient edition inspired by the visual direction of the A18 Ultra Slim Gradient Aramid Fiber Case. Release dates for both versions have yet to be determined.

Available on the AULUMU website for $89.98

What is More

AULUMU is also preparing a special limited version of ADuo Particle Aramid Fiber Case which is the world first All-White Aramid Fiber case. The release date for this case has not yet been determined.
