BroadbandOne’s Licensed mmWave Spectrum offers high speed, multigig, low latency service for enterprise applications, ensuring 99.99% service availability to the region

SAVANNAH, Ga., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Broadband One, Inc., doing business as BroadbandOne (BB1), a leader in wireless network innovation and a pioneer in the deployment of Telco as a Service (TaaS) solutions, has successfully launched high-speed, low-latency broadband service in Savannah, Ga. This strategic expansion extends BB1’s enterprise-grade connectivity solutions to this growing Southeast US market, reinforcing the company’s commitment to bridging broadband gaps and delivering both alternatives and complements to existing fiber networks.

The Savannah launch marks BB1’s second market expansion, following its successful deployment in Salinas, Calif. in October when it announced a strategic partnership with Etheric Networks, a premier California internet service provider (ISP). The company plans further Southeast growth into additional markets where it holds licensed 28GHz mmWave spectrum, including Athens, Augusta, and Columbia, SC.

Savannah’s historic district and regulatory landscape present challenges for fiber deployment, with strict local rules limiting underground infrastructure projects. BB1’s licensed FIxed Wireless Access (FWA) with mmWave technology solution eliminates these barriers, enabling businesses to access fiber-like performance without the need for disruptive trenching or cabling.

“With FWA-mmWave, all we need is a rooftop and a clear line of sight from our tower—now businesses have access to high-speed, enterprise-grade internet without the wait,” said Jason Celaya, Director of Business Development at BroadbandOne. “One of BB1’s biggest advantages is our ability to speed up market access. In areas where fiber deployment is still years away, we offer a faster alternative.”

BB1’s licensed spectrum advantage differentiates it from other wireless providers in the region. Unlike unlicensed solutions that may suffer from congestion and interference, BB1’s exclusive mmWave spectrum delivers interference-free, high-capacity broadband with a 99.99% uptime guarantee.

Key benefits of BB1’s licensed FWA-mmWave service in Savannah include:

Multigigabit speeds for business-critical applicationsLow latency for seamless cloud services, video conferencing, and data-intensive workloads99.99% availability, backed by real-time monitoring and network redundancyFast deployment, overcoming the challenges of fiber construction delays

BB1’s expansion into Georgia is part of a broader strategy to leverage its licensed mmWave spectrum across key markets. The company is actively seeking local Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) and fiber partners to integrate and enhance service portfolios in underserved and hard-to-reach markets.

“We are committed to delivering a high-capacity, cost-effective broadband solution that complements fiber’s strengths,” Celaya added. “Markets that need immediate connectivity shouldn’t have to wait for fiber buildouts. BB1’s solution fills that gap today while supporting long-term fiber growth in parallel.”

Beyond Savannah, Athens, Augusta, and Columbia, SC, BB1 has set its sights on future expansions into East Texas and West Louisiana, further strengthening its presence in markets where fiber deployment remains limited.

eSign.AI Named Sole Electronic Signature Technology Provider for Hong Kong Government’s CorpID Project, Building the Foundation for Digital Signing Infrastructure in Hong Kong

Published

5 hours ago

May 8, 2026

HONG KONG, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Hong Kong’s Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) counts down to its phased launch, eSign.AI has been appointed as the sole electronic signature vendor in the project, responsible for delivering core digital signing capabilities including digital signatures, certificate management, and signature verification services. CorpID is led by Nexify, a seasoned government systems integrator, as the prime contractor. The platform is expected to launch in phases starting late 2026, with multiple CorpID-based e-government services going live in mid-2027.

CorpID: Government-Grade Digital Identity Infrastructure for Hong Kong Enterprises

The Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) is an enterprise-level digital services platform launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government, developed under the oversight of the Digital Policy Office (DPO). It is designed to serve as the business equivalent of “iAM Smart,” providing a unified digital identity foundation for Hong Kong enterprises. CorpID’s core mission is to build an integrated digital government infrastructure — offering unified identity authentication, digital signing, form pre-filling, and e-licence storage — replacing paper-heavy, cumbersome traditional processes and enabling smart city development through seamless data connectivity.

The platform is open to companies incorporated under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and businesses registered under the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap. 310), including sole proprietorships and partnerships. The DPO requires all enterprise-related e-government services to support CorpID within 18 months of launch, and will continue expanding ecosystem coverage through sandbox initiatives, cross-industry identity standard interoperability, and fully online registration processes.

eSign.AI: The Digital Signing Engine Behind CorpID

eSign.AI is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide, offering a complete signing framework from simple electronic signatures to the highest-level compliant digital signatures — meeting diverse regulatory requirements across industries and jurisdictions.

On the identity verification front, eSign.AI has completed integration with iAM Smart, enabling individual identity verification through Hong Kong’s citizen digital identity system, and providing legally valid digital certificate services for both enterprises and individuals.

Looking ahead, the eSign.AI SaaS platform will be deeply integrated with CorpID, providing enterprise and individual identity verification for Hong Kong businesses, and supporting both electronic and digital signing that complies with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance — connecting the full digital contracting lifecycle for government and enterprise alike.

Getting Ahead of the AI Era: From eSignGlobal to eSign.AI

The electronic signature industry is undergoing a structural shift from “tooling” to “intelligence.” Market data underscores this acceleration: the AI-powered contract analysis tools market has grown from USD 3.32 billion in 2025 to USD 4.3 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 29.6%. Signing is just one node in the contract lifecycle — document generation, workflow orchestration, compliance tracking, and post-execution management are all being transformed by AI, and the industry window is closing fast.

In April 2026, the company officially rebranded from eSignGlobal to eSign.AI, completing its strategic transformation from an e-signature tool provider to an AI-native contract automation platform. As the company’s spokesperson noted, this rebrand is not cosmetic — it is an acknowledgment of where the product actually is. Customers were already using eSign.AI to automate workflows that go far beyond the signature itself.

eSign Automation Skill was launched alongside the rebrand — an AI-powered signing automation framework for enterprise workflows that enables complete contract signing through natural language interaction, with no manual intervention required. Whether it is single-party approval, multi-party sequential signing, or large-scale parallel execution, an AI Agent can orchestrate the entire workflow in a single call. All signature initiations and status queries return structured JSON outputs, directly parseable by leading large language models and intelligent workflow systems.

eSign Automation is now available in the OpenClaw ecosystem and supports integration via Claude MCP, ChatGPT, and other leading AI platforms.

By combining AI automation capabilities with CorpID’s government-grade digital identity infrastructure, eSign.AI delivers a complete solution for Hong Kong enterprises — from identity verification to intelligent signing to full workflow automation.

About eSign.AI

eSign.AI (formerly eSignGlobal) is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide. The platform serves over 100 countries and regions, covering core industries including financial services, manufacturing, real estate, human resources, and healthcare — with 1,500+ scenario applications and 3,000+ ecosystem partners. eSign.AI holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 27018 certifications and supports major regulatory frameworks including the U.S. ESIGN Act / UETA, EU eIDAS, HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11. Infrastructure is anchored by independent data centers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Frankfurt, Germany.

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The winners of the 2026 German Red Dot Design Award were officially announced. Five of SUNMI Technology’s flagship products won awards: the CPad Business Tablet, CPad PAY, FLEX 3 Interactive Display, the V3 handheld POS Terminal and L3 Industrial PDA. These products stood out with three core design concepts: integration, versatility and human-centricity.

Known as “The Oscars” of global industrial design, the Red Dot Award has strict evaluation criteria covering aesthetics, ergonomics, scenario adaptability and sustainability. SUNMI adheres to original commercial scenario customization, rejecting crudely modified consumer devices. All winning products are originally developed for real commercial scenarios such as cash register, food delivery, industrial inspection and store operations, covering the entire commercial track with high scenario adaptability. Meanwhile, it practices ESG concepts, adopting eco-friendly materials and modular structures to extend equipment service life, reduce consumable consumption, and implement low-carbon and long-term design, which perfectly meets the Red Dot’s sustainability evaluation criteria.

Simplify Complexity: With highly integrated design, SUNMI eliminates the “patchwork feeling” of cluttered devices and tangled cables in traditional commercial scenarios, streamlining store operations and saving space.All-in-One Versatility: Beyond a single tool function, SUNMI’s products achieve flexible transformation through modular and multi-form designs to proactively adapt to changing business needs. The CPad series with modular accessories and FLEX 3’s Lego-style modular design enable multi-scenario application and long-term reuse.Human-Centric Design: Every detail is human-oriented, focusing on real pain points to enhance scenario experience. The L3 Industrial PDA reduces high-frequency work fatigue through scientific weight distribution; the V3 Smart POS Terminal balances large-screen visibility and grip comfort; CPad PAY integrates full-link functions to simplify workflows.

These honors stem from SUNMI’s long-term commitment to a sustainable society, original commercial R&D and ESG. In the future, SUNMI will uphold its core concepts, expand the boundaries of commercial industrial design, and empower global businesses with user-oriented, eco-friendly and high-value products.
