Company will show emergency communications leaders how AI-powered analytics, autonomous systems, and enhanced computer-aided dispatch deliver faster, smarter emergency response

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SAiMON Vision, a leading global provider of intelligent public safety and situational awareness technologies, today announced it will participate in the 2026 Annual National Emergency Number Association (“NENA”) Conference & Expo – the 911 dispatch community’s premier event – taking place June 29-30 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. SAiMON Vision will be located in booth #535.

Inside 911 dispatch centers, staff manage rising call volumes, persistent staffing shortages, and more incoming data than ever. According to a 2023 staffing study conducted by the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch, nearly one-third of Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) reported significant vacancy rates, and 36% reporting attrition in positions filled. SAiMON Vision helps PSAPs work through those pressures and shift from reactive response toward more proactive, data-driven operations.

At the conference, SAiMON Vision will demonstrate how its intelligent technologies support the people on the PSAP floor, converting raw input into clear, prioritized intelligence that PSAP staff can act on in real time. AI-powered analytics speed information processing and prioritizing the most urgent events first, helping call-takers and supervisors direct the right resources and make better-informed decisions when seconds count. Underpinning it all is SAiMON’s computer-aided dispatch (CAD), the system at the heart of the most sophisticated PSAPs. Today’s CAD platforms can be leveraged to connect dispatch, field personnel, video intelligence, sensor networks, and real-time data into one operating picture, giving the control room a unified view of an unfolding incident.

Robotics is another fast-growing area that SAiMON Vision intends to display. Autonomous and semi-autonomous systems extend a center’s reach beyond its walls, streaming remote monitoring and on-scene assessment back to the control room so dispatchers get eyes on an incident sooner. That enriched understanding of an emergency also reaches first responders before they arrive, helping them prepare for any crisis and stay out of harm’s way.

These capabilities are most powerful when they work together. SAiMON Vision integrates critical information sources into one platform — combining intelligent automation, real-time monitoring, advanced analytics, and interoperability across the systems agencies already run — so PSAPs can improve coordination, accelerate response times, and strengthen overall mission effectiveness.

“NENA brings together the people who run the 9-1-1 control room — the tele-communicators, supervisors, and directors who make split-second decisions every shift,” said Edgar Ramírez, General Manager of SAiMON Vision. “The convergence of artificial intelligence, robotics, and next-generation CAD technologies is creating unprecedented opportunities for agencies to strengthen situational awareness, improve operational performance, and deliver more effective emergency response services. At NENA 2026, we’re excited to put that technology in front of the people who will actually use it.”

SAiMON Vision is committed to developing innovative solutions that help public safety organizations harness emerging technology to improve decision-making, enhance operational efficiency, and support mission-critical communications.

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
