These platforms (HUAWEI eFly and HUAWEI ePartner) serve as unified portals that help partners navigate Huawei’s processes, and provide partners with the data they need to carry out one-stop marketing, transaction, and service operations. Partners gain access to the documentation, tools, IT interfaces, and AI-assisted configuration and intelligent Q&A tools, that help make serving customers more efficiently.

Chen said, “In the era of true intelligence, scaling proven practices across industries will allow more companies to thrive. Industrial intelligence is creating unprecedented opportunities, and Huawei wants to work with our customers and partners to deploy successful benchmarks at scale, and bring the benefits of AI to more industries, organizations, and people.”

EASE Automations supported a multi-year TDM modernization initiative designed to eliminate approximately $60 million in annual recurring leased transport costs.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — EASE Automations, a strategic telecommunications workforce, network transformation, and managed-services partner, announced the successful completion of a multi-year TDM Emulation initiative supporting a leading wholesale voice and Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) provider.

The initiative began in 2023 and gained significant momentum in 2024 as EASE Automations expanded its role and team. From 2023 through 2025, EASE deployed a specialized team that grew to approximately 35–40 telecommunications professionals, taking on ownership across network provisioning, circuit design, implementation, carrier coordination, validation, and legacy transport retirement.

Across more than 300 collocation environments, EASE-supported professionals designed and provisioned the IP and TDM connectivity required to bring interconnections closer to the carrier edge, backhaul traffic over IP, and ultimately retire costly leased TDM transport.

The financial opportunity was significant. The program was designed to remove approximately $5 million per month in leased TDM transport expense, representing approximately $60 million in recurring annual cost once the targeted transport was retired.

“Modernizing a carrier network is not simply about installing new technology,” said Stan Scott, Managing Director of EASE Automations. “The real work is making every interconnection, carrier order, provisioning dependency, activation, and cutover line up without disrupting the business. EASE Automations built and sustained a team that could operate in that complexity at scale.”

Throughout the engagement, EASE professionals worked across carrier organizations, internal engineering teams, vendor systems, and network operations to move locations from design through activation. The team brought expertise in carrier-scale network provisioning, circuit design and order management, TDM-to-IP enablement, implementation coordination, network validation, and legacy transport retirement.

Just as important was continuity. As EASE’s role expanded, its professionals developed significant institutional knowledge of the client’s network, provisioning processes, carrier relationships, and operational dependencies. Maintaining that expertise helped sustain execution as the transformation progressed.

The initiative demonstrates EASE Automations’ ability to provide more than individual technical resources. By assembling and sustaining specialized telecommunications teams, EASE helps clients execute complex network transformation initiatives while maintaining the knowledge, coordination, and operational control required to move projects forward.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Expert Consumers has recognized Quay for its approach to everyday sunglasses that combines 100% UV protection with fashion-focused frame designs. The recognition comes as consumers place greater emphasis on eyewear that can provide reliable sun protection without sacrificing style, comfort, or affordability.

Best UV Protection Sunglasses

Quay – stylish sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB protection, with multiple sizes, shapes, and lens options for a wide variety of faces.

The search for the best UV protection sunglasses often begins with lens performance. However, frame design, fit, lens technology, and price can also influence the buying decision. Quay’s current sunglasses collection addresses these considerations with a broad selection of frame shapes, lens options, and price points.

Strong UV Protection Without Sacrificing Style

UV protection remains one of the most important factors when selecting sunglasses. Quay states that its sunglasses provide 100% UV protection, including UVA and UVB protection across all of its eyewear, including optical and bluelight. The brand offers styles ranging from aviators and cat-eye frames to square, round, oversized, and shield silhouettes.

The distinction between UV protection and lens appearance is important. Darker lenses do not automatically provide greater UV protection. Lens color primarily affects visible light, while UV protection depends on the lens material or protective technology.

Polarized lenses such as the In the City, Soundcheck and Flip Side models represent another consideration. Quay offers polarized options designed to reduce glare, which can be useful around reflective surfaces and during bright outdoor activities. Polarization and UV protection serve different functions, so consumers should check both specifications when evaluating sunglasses.

Frame style can also influence how frequently sunglasses are worn. Quay’s collection includes understated designs alongside more prominent silhouettes, giving consumers the ability to prioritize personal style while maintaining UV protection.

100% UV Protection Sunglasses $80 and Under

Price is another practical consideration when searching for the best UV protection sunglasses. Effective UV protection does not necessarily require a high price, but shoppers should verify the protection specifications before purchasing.

Quay currently lists the Nightfall sunglasses at $80, and is available in multiple colors and finishes, including polarized options.

The Nightfall collection demonstrates how an $80 pair can combine a fashion-oriented silhouette with practical lens features. Pricing and availability can change, so current product listings should be checked before purchase.

For consumers shopping within this budget, several factors can help determine whether a pair is suitable for everyday use:

UV protection: Look for an explicit 100% UVA/UVB or equivalent UV protection specification.Fit: Frames should sit securely without creating excessive pressure around the temples or nose.Lens coverage: Larger designs can provide broader coverage around the eyes.Glare reduction: Polarized lenses can help reduce reflected glare in bright conditions.Durability: Materials and construction can influence how well sunglasses hold up to regular use.

This approach puts eye protection ahead of purely cosmetic considerations while still leaving room for personal style.

Can Clear Glasses Block UV Rays?

Clear lenses can provide UV protection. Lens transparency does not determine whether ultraviolet radiation is blocked.

The key consideration is the lens specification. A clear lens can be manufactured with UV-blocking properties, while a dark lens should not be assumed to provide UV protection simply because it appears darker. That said, all of Quay’s lenses are manufactured with UV blocking properties.

Current prescription models such as COULD NEVER RX and GAME OVER RX list 100% UVA/UVB protection as part of their lens options. The available prescription lenses include clear options, demonstrating that UV protection and visible lens tint are separate considerations.

For consumers wearing clear glasses outdoors, checking the manufacturer’s stated UV protection is more reliable than judging protection by the appearance of the lenses.

Clear eyewear also serves a different purpose from sunglasses. Even when clear lenses provide UV protection, sunglasses can reduce visible brightness and glare, which may make outdoor conditions more comfortable.

Choosing Sunglasses for Everyday Wear

The most useful sunglasses are often the ones that fit naturally into daily routines. Commuting, driving, walking, traveling, exercising, and spending time outdoors can all involve regular exposure to sunlight.

Quay’s range includes lightweight frame options and multiple shapes designed for different preferences. Some styles also feature adjustable nose pads, while polarized collections provide an option for consumers who frequently encounter glare.

Prescription wearers can also find selected Quay frames designed for prescription lenses. Current prescription sunglass options include different lens tints and lens materials, depending on the selected frame and prescription requirements.

Fit remains an important consideration. Frame measurements such as lens width, bridge width, temple length, and overall frame width can help consumers compare a new pair with glasses already worn comfortably.

Why Quay Is Gaining Attention in 2026

Expert Consumers’ recognition of Quay reflects a broader shift in how consumers evaluate sunglasses. Eye protection remains central, but modern shoppers also expect eyewear to complement personal style and everyday routines.

Quay’s current collection combines 100% UV protection with a wide selection of frame shapes and lens treatments. The brand also offers options across different price points, including the currently listed Nightfall style for shoppers seeking 100% UV protection within an $80 budget.

For consumers researching the best UV protection sunglasses, the fundamentals remain straightforward: verify UV protection, consider fit and coverage, evaluate lens features such as polarization, and select a frame that is comfortable enough for regular use.

Quay’s approach demonstrates that practical sun protection and contemporary eyewear design can coexist, giving consumers more flexibility when selecting sunglasses for everyday outdoor wear in 2026.
