NetActuate Expands VPU-as-a-Service to 15 Global Locations with NETINT VPU Acceleration

Published

on

By

NetActuate makes NETINT Quadra VPU acceleration available as a service on a global anycast network as an industry alternative to hardware procurement and hyperscaler clouds.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NetActuate, a leading provider of global infrastructure and network services in more than 45 locations worldwide, today announced that NETINT Quadra Video Processing Units (VPUs) are now live in 15 of its global points of presence, with additional locations available for custom deployments. The expansion builds on the companies’ February partnership announcement and will be on display at NETINT’s booth, 1.D49, throughout IBC 2026.

NetActuate’s VPU-as-a-Service offering provides the infrastructure needed to give engineering teams direct, self-service access to purpose-built video-processing silicon without the need to secure any servers or VPU cards themselves. Customers attach a NETINT VPU directly to a virtual machine, or managed Kubernetes node in NetActuate’s network through a secure passthrough, with full pipeline control, tooling, metrics, and observability. Integrations with bare metal servers are also available.

Where a hyperscaler’s black-box transcoding service means submitting jobs into someone else’s pipeline and accepting its pricing and turnaround, NetActuate’s model puts the VPU directly in the customer’s own VM or Kubernetes node, deployable in seconds rather than days or weeks. The VPU works with the encoding software teams already run, open source or commercial, so nobody has to give up a pipeline to get the economics of dedicated silicon. Teams attach a VPU and keep the workflow they trust, at a fraction of general-purpose cloud compute cost, with no lock-in to a single provider’s proprietary transcoding API. NETINT’s own Bitstreams software and Bitstreams Manager run on the VPU for teams that want a complete platform from one vendor.

“Streaming teams want the performance of dedicated video silicon without losing control of their own workflow,” said Randal Horne, Chief Revenue Officer at NETINT Technologies. “NetActuate’s expansion to 15 locations, combined with self-service deployment and now the Marketplace, gives teams a fast, low-risk way to prove out VPU-based encoding on real infrastructure before committing to scale.”

“NETINT built the VPU category, and this is what deploying on it should feel like: you pick your compute, you attach the accelerator, and you’re running your own pipeline in seconds instead of negotiating with a black box,” said Mark Mahle, CEO of NetActuate. “Pairing that with the Marketplace means a customer can build a complete stack with encoding, streaming, delivery from software they already trust, running in markets of their choice.”

Media Marketplace

The NETINT partnership also now extends to the NetActuate Media Marketplace, which runs on the same global network as VPU acceleration. Customers can pair NETINT’s own Bitstreams encoding software with a partner appliance to assemble a full video processing stack from ingest to delivery, without a proprietary hyperscaler service getting in the way.

Now Available

VPUaaS is available now as a turnkey offering on NetActuate’s platform: a VPU-enabled virtual machine or Kubernetes node deploys in seconds from the NetActuate portal or API, with pre-installed capacity live today in 15 locations and custom hardware builds available in other markets on request.

NetActuate is available to discuss deployment options for any workload size and will set up a no-charge evaluation deployment for qualified prospects evaluating VPU-based encoding. Talk to the team at IBC to scope a deployment, or visit NETINT at booth 1.D49 during IBC 2026, September 11 to 14 in Amsterdam, to see the integration live.

About NetActuate

NetActuate delivers edge infrastructure and network solutions in more than 45 locations worldwide, enabling customers to deploy workloads with low latency, resiliency, and security. The Open Network Edge (ONE) IaaS platform supports VMs, Kubernetes, cloud, colocation, bare metal, and storage infrastructure with Anycast connectivity. NetActuate provides 24×7 support, expert consulting, and flexible solutions engineered for scalability and performance. For more information, visit netactuate.com.

About NETINT

NETINT Technologies is the 2024 Tech Emmy Award winner for “Design & Deployment of Efficient Hardware Video Accelerators for Cloud” and the founder of the VPU category. With more than 225,000 VPUs deployed, encoding over 1.1 trillion minutes of video, the world’s largest streaming services rely on NETINT to cut energy and OPEX by up to 20x.

Cheetah Mobile Announces Second Quarter 2026 Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results

Published

on

By

Services of cloud and AI infrastructure revenue increased 83.1% year over year and 26.2% quarter over quarter, accounting for 72.8% of Global Enterprise Services revenue and 22.2% of total revenues and making a positive contribution to the adjusted operating results of Global Enterprise Services.Robotics and others revenue increased 72.5% year over year and 6.4% quarter over quarter, accounting for 20.5% of total revenues.

BEIJING, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cheetah Mobile Inc. (“Cheetah Mobile” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CMCM), a China-based IT company with a commitment to AI innovation, today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Financial Highlights

Total revenues were RMB266.1 million (US$39.2 million) in the second quarter of 2026, representing a decrease of 9.9% year over year and an increase of 2.7% quarter over quarter.Advertising agency services revenue, which is included in the Global Enterprise Services segment, decreased 70.0% year over year and 15.0% quarter over quarter to RMB22.0 million, primarily due to changes in rebate policies implemented by a major global advertising platform. Its contribution to total revenues declined to 8.3% from 24.9% in the same period last year. Revenues excluding advertising agency services were RMB244.1 million, increasing approximately 10.1% year over year and 4.7% quarter over quarter. The decline in advertising agency services revenue was a significant factor in the year-over-year increase in the Company’s operating loss in the second quarter of 2026. In the Global Enterprise Services segment, revenues from services of cloud and AI infrastructure increased 83.1% year over year and 26.2% quarter over quarter to RMB59.1 million, accounting for 72.8% of Global Enterprise Services revenue and 22.2% of total revenues, compared with approximately 10.9% of total revenues in the same period last year. The increase was driven by growing demand from enterprises expanding overseas for cloud resources, computing power and AI model services.Robotics and others revenue increased 72.5% year over year and 6.4% quarter over quarter to RMB54.5 million, accounting for 20.5% of total revenues, driven by an increase in sales volume of our robotic products. The year-over-year increase benefited from the contribution of UFACTORY, a provider of lightweight robotic arms acquired by the Company on July 29, 2025.Internet value-added services revenue, which is included in the Internet Services segment, increased 6.7% year over year and 2.9% quarter over quarter to RMB101.2 million, accounting for 77.6% of segment revenue, and 38.0% of total revenues, due to increase in user base and distribution channels.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had RMB1,271.0 million (US$187.3 million) in cash and cash equivalents.

Management Commentary

Fu Sheng, Chief Executive Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: “During the second quarter, we continued to evolve our business mix, with revenue from services of cloud and AI infrastructure within Global Enterprise Services growing 83.1% year over year, driven by demand from enterprises expanding overseas for cloud and AI infrastructure services, accounting for 22.2% total revenues in the quarter. Gross billings[1] from services of cloud and AI infrastructure exceeded RMB500 million during the quarter, compared with about RMB200 million in the same period last year and about RMB300 million in the previous quarter, reflecting the rapid expansion of customer demand and business scale. Robotics and others revenue increased 72.5% year over year and accounted for 20.5% of total revenues in the quarter, with new initiatives such as smart mobility beginning to contribute revenue. The growth of these AI-related businesses underscores the progress of our AI-driven transformation.

Internet Services remained a stable foundation for our business. Internet value-added services revenue increased both year over year and sequentially and represented 77.6% of segment revenue. While advertising agency services revenue within Global Enterprise Services remained under pressure, growth in services of cloud and AI infrastructure and Robotics and others supported the Company’s return to sequential revenue growth while strengthening our foundation for future growth.”

[1] Gross billings from services of cloud and AI infrastructure is an operating metric representing the aggregate monetary value of customers’ consumption of public cloud resources and AI model tokens provided or arranged by the Company during the relevant period.

Thomas Ren, Chief Financial Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: “Second-quarter revenue increased 2.7% sequentially. Operating loss was RMB33.6 million, compared with RMB28.3 million in the previous quarter, while non-GAAP operating loss remained relatively stable at RMB25.6 million, compared with RMB22.5 million in the previous quarter.

The sequential movement in non-GAAP operating loss reflected higher adjusted operating profit in Internet Services, offset by lower adjusted operating profit in Global Enterprise Services resulting from lower advertising agency services revenue, as well as a wider adjusted operating loss in Robotics and others. Adjusted operating profit from Internet Services increased 14.2% year over year and 67.2% sequentially, with adjusted operating margin improving to 19.4%. Services of cloud and AI infrastructure continued to scale rapidly. However, the growth of cloud and AI infrastructure services partially offset the negative impact of lower advertising agency services revenue on the segment’s adjusted operating profit. We ended the quarter with US$187.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, providing us with the flexibility to invest prudently in our AI and robotics businesses.”

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total revenues decreased 9.9% year over year and increased 2.7% quarter over quarter to RMB266.1 million (US$39.2 million).

Internet Services revenue decreased 17.3% year over year and 3.4% quarter over quarter to RMB130.5 million (US$19.2 million).Within the segment, internet value-added services revenue increased 6.7% year over year and 2.9% quarter over quarter to RMB101.2 million, accounting for 77.6% of segment revenue.Online advertising revenue decreased 53.5% year over year and 20.2% quarter over quarter to RMB29.3 million, accounting for 22.4% of segment revenue.Global Enterprise Services revenue decreased 23.3% year over year and increased 11.5% quarter over quarter to RMB81.1 million (US$12.0 million).Services of cloud and AI infrastructure revenue, which is included in this segment, increased 83.1% year over year and 26.2% quarter over quarter to RMB59.1 million, accounting for 72.8% of segment revenue.Advertising agency services revenue decreased 70.0% year over year and 15.0% quarter over quarter to RMB22.0 million, accounting for 27.2% of segment revenue.Robotics and others revenue increased 72.5% year over year and 6.4% quarter over quarter to RMB54.5 million (US$8.0 million).

Operating loss was RMB33.6 million (US$5.0 million), compared with RMB11.1 million in the same period last year and RMB28.3 million in the first quarter of 2026.

Non-GAAP operating loss was RMB25.6 million (US$3.8 million), compared with RMB2.1 million in the same period last year and RMB22.5 million in the first quarter of 2026. The year-over-year increase primarily reflected lower advertising agency services revenue within the Global Enterprise Services segment.

Adjusted operating profit from Internet Services was RMB25.4 million, increasing by 14.2% year over year and 67.2% quarter over quarter. Adjusted operating margin for the segment expanded to 19.4%, compared with 14.1% in the same period last year and 11.3% in the first quarter of 2026.

Adjusted operating profit from Global Enterprise Services was RMB9.3 million, decreasing by 80.7% year over year and 32.0% quarter over quarter, primarily reflecting lower advertising agency services revenue. The continued strong growth of services of cloud and AI infrastructure provided a positive contribution to the segment’s adjusted operating results.

Adjusted operating loss from Robotics and others was RMB34.0 million, narrowing by 35.5% from RMB52.7 million in the same period last year, but widening from RMB26.9 million in the first quarter of 2026, as the Company continued to invest in the development and commercialization of its robotics businesses.

HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Taking its first step onto Europe’s premier commercial vehicle stage, Geely Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group will showcase its all-electric product portfolio at IAA Transportation 2026. Held from September 14-20 at the Hannover Messe Exhibition Center, the biennial event will welcome Geely Farizon at outdoor Booth P55, where three flagship models will make their international showcase.

All exhibited vehicles, including the Homtruck, Farizon SV and V7E, are developed ground-up on Geely Farizon’s dedicated all-electric intelligent architecture, covering long‑haul and urban last‑mile delivery operations for global logistics markets.

Making its official European debut, the Homtruck, a heavy-duty electric truck represents Geely Farizon’s core technological benchmark. Specified for European operating requirements, it carries a 600-kWh battery delivering over 500 km range.

The Farizon SV is a fully born‑electric, highly versatile van. It has claimed International Van of the Year 2026 runner‑up, What Van? 2026 Zero‑Emission Van of the Year and LCV Manufacturer of the Year by GREENFLEET Awards 2026.

Designed for urban delivery, the V7E provides 6.95 m³ cargo space, 328 km WLTP combined range and 1,373 kg payload, with 14+ ADAS features as standard. It is among the final three for International Van of the Year 2027; the winner will be announced on September 14.

Backed by a decade of persistent R&D and long-term strategic layout, Geely Farizon has grown to be an active participant and contributor to the global automotive industrial chain. Its IAA premiere marks a key milestone under the “Born Global” strategy. Geely Farizon will continue to work with international partners to advance sustainable and intelligent logistics across global transport.
