GEOSAT BECOMES FIRST EUROPEAN PARTNER IN THE SDG DATA ALLIANCE

Published

on

PARTNERSHIP OPENS THE DOOR TO SATELLITE DATA
FOR OVER 3,000 ISLANDS

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GEOSAT, a Earth Observation satellite operator, has become the first European company to join the SDG Data Alliance, the coalition mobilising data to accelerate the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Antigua & Barbuda Agenda for Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

The Partnership Agreement with the PVBLIC Foundation, which convenes the Data Alliance, was signed in New York during the high level week of the 81st UN General Assembly.

Membership places GEOSAT within a select group of partners that work with the United Nations and international partners, with the goal of taking VHR satellite images and data to over 3,000 islands across almost 40 island states, the Alliance’s focus nations.

Through the Data Alliance, national and regional champions will be identified to lead implementation. GEOSAT will supply the imagery and, together with other Alliance partners, will turn it into actionable intelligence and better decisions. Joint procurement can give island nations capabilities few could secure alone, from land management to agriculture, forestry, coastal monitoring, and emergency response.

FROM EUROPE TO SIDS 
GEOSAT brings to the Data Alliance the operational experience of an Established European Operator (recognised by the European Commission and Copernicus as one of only 5 VHR satellite operators in this category). It delivers satellite coverages to municipalities, countries and to Europe, bringing space to people. In partnership with Airbus, Geosat delivered VHR 24, the first fully European coverage of Europe. It supplies thousands of images every year in critical scenarios and contributes to the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters.

Membership builds on work already under way. In 2023, GEOSAT supported the launch of the Maldives Space Research Organisation (MSRO), contributing to its first pilot, the Goidhoo Earth Observation Pilot – a project later showcased at the UM Peace Forum in Paris. Geosat has already begun working on the first pilots for implementation with the Data Alliance.

“Satellite images and Space-based information are critical assets to support populations in climate change adaptation. By joining the SDG Data Alliance, Geosat commits to continue working to bring space to people, leveraging local knowledge and value chains that can lead to the sustainable use of Earth Observation for social development.” said Francisco Vilhena da Cunha, GEOSAT CEO.

Infinix Launches GT NX Series Peripherals: Redefine Mobile Gaming Boundaries to Deliver Native Console-Grade Experience for Gamers

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Infinix, a leading global technology brand, today officially unveiled its flagship gaming peripheral of the year — the GT NX Series Peripherals. While the mobile gaming market continues to expand, players are increasingly seeking a more professional and immersive experience. High-frame-rate, high-fidelity mobile games impose stringent demands on smartphones in terms of thermal management, network stability, and display output. To fully unlock this potential, the GT NX Series introduces dedicated physical controls and industry-leading haptic feedback, providing gamers with tactile precision, ergonomic comfort, and a true console-grade feel right in the palm of their hands.

Most mobile gaming peripherals available today are fragmented and single-purpose: docking stations only handle video mirroring, cooling fans merely address overheating, and game controllers often come with high latency. Gamers have to purchase multiple separate accessories and spend time on complicated setup. To tackle these industry pain points, Infinix officially unveiled the GT NX Controller and GT NX Station multi-functional esports docking station. This integrated hardware connects control, cooling, display output and port expansion in one complete workflow, transforming a smartphone into a portable gaming console for versatile scenarios.

GT NX Controller: Reimagining Mobile Game Controls, A Professional Split Controller for Mobile Gamers

Mobile games are originally designed for interaction, and many standard controllers are not able to replicate the nuanced precision of touchscreen operation.The GT NX Controller brings innovative solutions to the table. It is equipped with the world’s first Pixel-Level FPS Precision Touchpad in a mobile games controller, bridging the precision gap of touch aiming and delivering mouse-like accuracy for mobile FPS titles.

The GT NX Controller adopts an esports-grade three-chip low-latency architecture that achieves Millisecond-Level Direct Connect. It features dual chips in the left handle and a dedicated chip for the right handle. Whether you perform flick shots in FPS games or team fights in MOBA games, every input stays responsive and consistent. Boasting Mega Power for 22+ Hours of Gameplay, it supports marathon gaming sessions on the go. The controller features Industry-Leading FPS Tactical Haptics Sync, supports 3-level haptic intensity adjustment (Low/Medium/High) in XArena. The native mode is compatible with the game’s native vibration and mapping mode comes with industry-first FPS haptics: 1s long vibration on aircraft takeoff and parachuting, plus 500ms vibration for each final circle shrink. With handheld-console-grade physical feedback, round results feel more immediate. Tactile cues such as zone-shrink alerts aid game-state judgment and greatly enhance immersion.

The Ergonomic Laser-Textured Grip Design delivers enhanced anti-slip comfort during extended play. It supports Multiple Play Modes Across Scenarios, including phone clamping, desktop gaming and portable single-hand play, to accommodate both large-screen gaming at home and quick matchups outdoors.

GT NX Station: Industry-First 9-in-1 Expansion Dock with Built-In TEC Cooling

Thermal throttling triggered by overheating during prolonged intensive gaming is one of the most frustrating pain points for mobile players. As the industry’s first docking station with integrated TEC cooling, the GT NX Station breaks the traditional definition of docking hubs that only offer port conversion.

It supports Universal Extend or Mirror on any compatible screen, allowing gamers to cast mobile gameplay onto monitors or TVs and shift from small touchscreens to large-screen immersive gaming.  The station features Dynamic RGB Lighting to build an immersive esports atmosphere. It packs a full suite of 9-in-1 ports: HDMI Port, RJ45 Ethernet, 2 USB-A Ports, USB-C Host Cable, USB-C, USB-C PD Input, microSD Card Slot and 3.5mm Audio.

From users’ perspective, this design solves multiple real-world challenges in one unit: wired Ethernet prevents packet loss and lag caused by unstable Wi-Fi; PD pass-through charging sustains power during long gaming sessions to the docking station and it can provide mobile phones charging; gamers can easily connect external keyboards, headsets and storage drives. The built-in TEC cooling suppresses phone temperatures continuously to avoid frame drops and quality reduction triggered by thermal throttling. Users no longer need a pile of separate accessories including cooling back clips, adapters and network dongles. A single unit builds a complete desktop mobile gaming setup.

GT NX Controller & Station: Elevate Mobile Gaming on Smart Phones

Mobile gaming frequently suffers from imprecise touch‑only inputs, cramped small‑screen views and thermal throttling under high loads. Gamers keep all their game accounts and progress stored on their phones, yet cannot reach console‑grade gameplay purely with touch operations. Paired with GT‑series phones, the GT NX Controller and GT NX Station deliver tangible hardware‑driven upgrades to the mobile gaming experience.

Take the GT NX Controller out for on‑the‑go handheld gaming. Equipped with a large‑format glass touchpad, it supports both swipe and mouse‑mode operation. Its 4‑zone independent mapping enables efficient skill casting for MOBA titles, while delivering segmented precise aiming for FPS gameplay. Mapping mode unlocks play for mobile games without native controller support. Multiple flexible form‑factors support single‑player competitive matches as well as local two‑player versus sessions.

For desktop setups, mounting a GT-series smartphone onto the GT NX Station creates a comprehensive large‑screen gaming rig. The docking station integrates industry‑first foldable built‑in TEC active cooling, alongside a full 9‑in‑1 port portfolio and dual display‑output options. Mirror mode replicates the smartphone screen onto monitors or TVs while Extend mode enables true independent dual‑screen workflow—rendering game content on the external large display, while the smartphone handles background tasks such as checking strategy guides, replying to messages or powering down the phone display entirely to reduce power consumption and thermal load. Additionally, the integrated RJ45 wired Ethernet further eliminates Wi‑Fi fluctuations for stable competitive online matches.

Built for hardcore mobile gamers, FPS enthusiasts and mobile content creators, this hardware combo preserves players’ existing game accounts and in‑game saves, delivering console-grade control accuracy, thermal performance and big‑screen gameplay, without needing to switch between smartphones, consoles or PCs.

*Disclaimer: Universal Extend and Mirror modes are limited to selected Infinix devices with XOS 16.3+, and USB-C Android/iOS devices with native DP output. Other USB-C Android devices need driver installation through this docking station. Functionality requires supported mobile hardware. Compatibility differs by device, software and external display. External screens must have an HDMI input port.
