Telecom Veterans Partner with DAMM Cellular Systems, Hytera, and Hologram to Create First-of-Its-Kind Plan B for Communication

CHICAGO, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Here’s to the ones who see things differently. The ones who refuse to accept that communication should be fragile, centralized, or controlled by corporate margins. The ones who believe that when everything else fails, people deserve a way to reach the ones they love.

Today, Lola Wireless GEN announces the public launch of Lola GEN, a first-of-its-kind Global Emergency Network designed to provide an alternative layer of communication when traditional systems fail. Built by telecommunications industry experts with decades of experience, Lola GEN represents a fundamental rethinking of how resilient communication should work—and introduces Mercury I, the first connection terminal designed to access this network.

“Einstein once spoke of insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We are here to bring some sanity,” said Lola Wireless GEN Team Member. “The telecom industry has spent decades optimizing for speed and bandwidth while ignoring resilience, privacy and trust. We’re building something different; we aim for a network designed for the moments that matter most.”

A Network Built on Industry-Leading Partnerships

Lola GEN is built in partnership with DAMM Cellular Systems, a globally trusted leader in critical radio infrastructure with over 40 years of experience delivering mission-critical communication systems; Hytera, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of professional two-way radio devices; and Hologram, a global cellular network aggregator enabling seamless connectivity across 550+ carriers in 190+ countries.

Together, Lola Wireless GEN and its industry partners are constructing a network unlike any other—one that operates at multiple layers, from global connectivity down to hyper-local, peer-to-peer communication.

Mercury I: The First Device Built for Lola GEN

The Mercury I Connection Terminal is a rugged, professional-grade communication device designed to keep people connected when traditional systems fail. Key features include:

Portable data center technology — Each Mercury I acts as an edge computing node, ensuring true data sovereignty. Your information resides with you, not in a centralized cloud.SPAM, fraud, and scams reduced to near-zero — Lola GEN operates as a closed, member-only network. Only member-to-member communication is possible, dramatically reducing unwanted and malicious communications.Multi-mode connectivity — Mercury I seamlessly switches between cellular, RF radio, WiFi, satellite (for GEN STAR communities), and peer-to-peer modes depending on available infrastructure.Professional-grade durability — IP68 waterproof rating, MIL-STD-810G certified, drop-resistant up to 6.5 feet, and built to withstand extreme environments.Private communication suite — Voice calls, video calls, push-to-talk, text messaging, picture messaging, group broadcasts, and private email—all designed with privacy and security in mind.

“We are not in the business of harvesting user data,” the team emphasized. “Your digital assets stay private and under your control.”

Plan B for When It Matters Most

The network is designed as Plan B: a resilient alternative to traditional cellular and internet systems. When infrastructure fails—whether due to natural disasters, outages, or overloaded networks—Lola GEN, powered by Mercury I, is designed to continue functioning, ensuring that people can still reach emergency responders, loved ones, and their communities.

Lola GEN is also designed to support GEN STAR Communities—local networks of 250+ members who create micro-infrastructure hubs, ensuring localized communication resilience even when global systems are unavailable.

A Mission-Driven Initiative

Lola Wireless GEN operates under the guiding principle: “All for the betterment of all.” The project is built by people who love what they do and call it life—a network designed not for shareholders, but for people.

The initiative is supported by the I Am Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization committed to advancing communication resilience and community empowerment.

Crowdfunding Campaign and Reservations Now Open

Mercury I will be available through a crowdfunding campaign focused on building communities and empowering individuals to take control of their communication infrastructure.

HONG KONG, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — D2 Intelligence, a subsidiary of Wenge AI (1956.HK), is showcasing at Hong Kong FinTech Week x StartmeupHK 2026. Under this year’s theme “Fintech Nexus: Bridging the World, Building the Future”, Asia’s flagship fintech event brought together more than 45,000 attendees from more than 120 economies. At its exhibition booth, D2 Intelligence showcased four AI products — Decitron, ScienceOra, DocuMind and Checkie — spanning decision intelligence, scientific research, enterprise document intelligence and consumer-grade risk checking.

Decitron — the world’s first general-purpose large decision model.

Released by Wenge AI in June 2026, Decitron was a centerpiece of the showcase. Built on three technical pillars — a World Model, multi-agent reasoning and game solving — the model understands events, deduces possible paths and compares outcomes for complex, open-ended problems. On the internationally recognized PolyBench benchmark, it achieved a Final Forecast Accuracy of 81.20%. Rather than simply answering questions, it generates deduction process reports and comprehensive analysis reports for decision-makers, and continuously tracks evolving situations through its X-Signal global signal capability.

Decitron is available at https://decitron.wenge.com/app.

ScienceOra — an intelligent research decision platform for AI for Science (AI4S).

ScienceOra is built on the ScienceOne Scientific Foundation Model. Recently launched on Tencent WorkBuddy with more than 30 specialist research agents and skills, ScienceOra supports literature analysis, hypothesis development, study design, modeling and simulation, validation and research communication across disciplines. At the booth, ScienceOra demonstrated how, in a drug R&D scenario, a researcher evaluating Fostamatinib can first build a developability evaluation framework, then analyze the compound’s ADMET characteristics together with known bioactivity and toxicity data, and finally receive a proposed follow-up validation plan with key metrics.

ScienceOra is available at https://www.scienceone.ai/portal/.

DocuMind — an enterprise document intelligence and decision platform.

Launched by D2 Intelligence in September 2026, DocuMind serves financial services, insurance and public services, where accuracy, compliance and traceability are critical.

In the HKMA GenA.I. Sandbox, DocuMind processed a trade finance document of up to 10 pages in under 30 seconds — compared with 10 to 20 minutes manually — with extraction accuracy for core fields exceeding 95% and a review automation rate of approximately 85%. Every conclusion retains its rationale, evidence and audit trail, and the platform supports data masking, isolated environments and on-premises deployment.

Checkie — an AI-powered “second opinion” for everyday decisions.

Checkie turns contracts, freelance offers and dating profiles into easy-to-read reality checks. Users upload PDFs or screenshots, and Checkie applies OCR and image analysis to flag unusual details and points worth a second look — from clauses buried in a rental agreement to red flags in a job offer or an online conversation. During the event, Checkie was named a Global Fast Track 2026 Semi-Finalist by Invest Hong Kong. Checkie was also recently nominated as China’s sole representative in the Government and Citizen Engagement category of the World Summit Awards (WSA) 2026, a United Nations-backed global digital innovation award, and will represent China in the upcoming global selection.

Viettel Group and Vietnam’s Government Cipher Committee Unveil Security Chip Embedding Vietnamese Cryptography in Silicon

Published

on

By

HANOI, Vietnam, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vietnam’s Government Cipher Committee and Viettel Group have unveiled VGC v1.0, a security chip integrating a domestically developed cryptographic algorithm directly into silicon, alongside the country’s first domestically designed secure semiconductor platform.

The project addresses concerns over potential data exposure associated with reliance on imported chips. By embedding cryptographic functions directly into hardware, Vietnam’s Government Cipher Committee and Viettel Group aim to strengthen Vietnam’s control over the design and verification of technologies used to protect sensitive information.

VGC v1.0 contains 300 million transistors in a 10 × 10 mm package and is fabricated using a 28-nanometre CMOS process. In performance tests, it performed encryption and decryption approximately 15 times faster than a software-only solution carrying out the same tasks. The first batch passed technical tests and received certification for socio-economic applications in the first quarter of 2026. Technical safeguards were also applied to protect the design before fabrication, reducing risks of information leakage and reverse engineering.

The Government Cipher Committee’s M2 unit established security requirements, developed the cryptographic algorithm and defined evaluation criteria, while Viettel Semiconductor Center designed and implemented the chip. Based on the open RISC-V instruction set architecture, the underlying platform enables Vietnamese engineers to modify processor designs and reuse established verification processes for future chip generations.

VGC v1.0 has already seen initial deployment in secure USB storage devices for Party, government and defence agencies. Planned applications include supporting Vietnam’s national digital signature certification system, which has more than two million digital certificates in circulation. Other potential uses span financial data protection, connected cameras and sensors, and critical infrastructure systems in electricity, water, oil and gas, and telecommunications. Products intended to protect state secrets would require further testing and certification under applicable standards.

“Researching, designing and developing secure semiconductor chips is a formidable challenge, requiring years of accumulated expertise, technological capabilities and highly skilled talent. Yet we believe that starting later does not mean accepting dependence on others. With the right strategy, focused resources and sustained commitment, we can steadily close the gap and move towards mastering technologies of strategic importance to our country,” said Lieutenant General Tao Duc Thang, Chairman and CEO of Viettel Group.

At the launch, the Vietnam’s Government Cipher Committee and Viettel Group signed an agreement covering plans for volume production, multicore security chips, specialist workforce development and testing on real devices. Viettel is also building a semiconductor fabrication plant in Hoa Lac as part of broader efforts to develop domestic capabilities across chip design, manufacturing and packaging.

Beyond the initial chip, the initiative establishes a foundation for future generations of security hardware, supporting Vietnam’s long-term efforts to reduce technological dependence and strengthen control over critical digital technologies.
