COLUMBIA, S.C., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — STL (NSE: STLTECH), a leading optical and digital solutions company, today unveiled high-density, 864F Micro Cables – conceptualized and developed specifically to bring fast and uninterrupted connectivity to dense fiber networks in the US.

With best-in-class high fiber density – 864F Micro cable can pack 864 fibers in a cable diameter of 11.4 mm (1.5X more fibers than a standard micro cable of the same diameter). It employs STL’s state-of-the-art bend-insensitive HD A2 200-micron fiber. The 864F cable can bring numerous benefits to service providers in the region:

Ultra-high fiber density: 1.5X more fiber density, easy to blow up to 1500 m in 14mm duct, highest fiber density of 10.2mm2Longer network life: Compatible bend-insensitive 200-micron fiber provides more power budget for longer network life, fewer truck rolls, faster installationSustainable and cost saving: 40% lesser plastic usage compared to standard micro cable, saves up to 70% in the civil costEasy to install: Reduced form factor enables tighter cable coiling in installation and slim outer jacket layers provide easy access to fiber bundles.

In addition to the 864F Micro cable, STL also introduced its Intelligently Bonded Ribbon (IBR) Armored cable. The compact design ensures ease of installation, while precise ribbon geometries in IBR bundles deliver excellent mass fusion splicing outcomes. This UV-protected, lightweight, and flexible cable is a pioneering solution for diverse installation environments.

STL’s manufacturing facility in South Carolina is already catering to the demand of federal and privately funded broadband projects, including the BEAD Program. Yesterday, at the Fibre Connect event, STL also introduced its Optical Connectivity portfolio. Now, with these high-capacity Optical Fibre cables, STL will have an integrated Optical Networking portfolio explicitly designed for the region.

Thanks to this integrated capability, coupled with a 200-strong team at its North American base in South Carolina, STL is actively fulfilling its commitment to connect America.

Speaking about this development, Ankit Agarwal, Managing Director, STL, said, “We believe in developing Optical products relevant to the regional market context. These high-density Optical fiber cables provide unmatched scalability, speed and cost-efficiency for services providers deploying high-density networks. These products ensure the future readiness of networks and reinforce our commitment to connecting America, promising unparalleled value for our customers.”

Bringing Local AI Home: UGREEN Introduces Privacy-First HomeAgent for Smarter Living

Published

By

BERLIN, Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — UGREEN, a leading global consumer technology brand, announced two new product lineups at a European launch event. The unveiling of the UGREENHomeAgent series of agentic local AI hubs and a new MagFlow lineup marks UGREEN’s next stage of growth. Building on its established presence in digital accessories and smart storage, the company is now dedicated to a broader spectrum of intelligent consumer electronics designed to enhance everyday life.

UGREEN HomeAgent: Agentic Local AI Hub for Homes

At the center of UGREEN’s broader intelligent consumer electronics vision is UGREEN HomeAgent, a groundbreaking Agentic AI Local Hub unifying local storage, computing, and control into one device. It connects a growing ecosystem of UGREEN AIoT devices, including security cameras, smart speakers, and smart photo frames, as well as third-party devices.

UGOS Pro is UGREEN’s in-house operating system built on a Linux architecture, offering professional storage management, robust data security, easy backup and sync, and extensive expandability.

UGREEN HomeAgent is powered by the all-new UGOS Pro, combining NAS-grade storage and data management with integrated home security features, smart home capabilities, and natural voice interaction to deliver a more complete all-in-one experience.

Traditional surveillance cameras usually only document bad news, and their footage is constantly overwritten, so the moments truly worth keeping quietly disappear. That’s why UGREEN set out to redefine the home camera system, not as a surveillance tool, but as a camera for life.

“HomeAgent proactively recognizes moments that are truly worth remembering and organizes them into a personalized daily briefing for every family. Moments that might otherwise be forgotten can return. We want to help families preserve the precious time they spend together.” – Samuel Zhang, CEO of UGREEN

As an agentic local AI hub integrating on-device intelligence, local storage, AI computing and smart-home control, HomeAgent serves as the AI brain of the connected home. Designed to keep data private and local, it enables intelligent file management, proactive home monitoring, voice-driven automation and unified device control. The ecosystem includes the HomeAgent HA100 and HA100 Pro, the NVIDIA® Jetson Thor™-powered MasterAgent MA100, SynCare smart cameras, the UGREEN Smart Speaker for Uliya, and UGREEN Gallery smart frames, while remaining compatible with third-party Matter-enabled devices. Together, they deliver a private, expandable AI platform that helps users preserve memories, monitor their homes and coordinate devices through natural, context-aware interactions.

MagFlow Pro: Active Heat Dissipation and Sustained Fast Charging

Announced alongside HomeAgent, MagFlow Powerbank is the world’s first liquid-cooled Qi2 25W magnetic power bank, featuring CryoPulse™ micro-pump liquid cooling, active heat dissipation and sustained fast charging.

The launch complements UGREEN’s strong range of charging options, outlining the brand’s commitment to true-rated performance and flagship-quality power.

Availability Timeline

Pre-orders for the UGREEN HomeAgent HA100, HA100 Pro and UGREEN MasterAgent MA100 opened on September 4, 2026, via the UGREEN AIoT Official Store, and remain available until the official Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign launches on October 27, 2026. Other AIoT accessories will be introduced as part of the Kickstarter campaign beginning on October 27. During the pre-order period, customers can place a deposit starting at $50 to reserve the UGREEN HomeAgent HA100, HA100 Pro or UGREEN MasterAgent MA100 and secure 50% off with the Super Early Bird discount.
