Five predesigned models bring flexible floor plans to the panoramic views, natural light, and hurricane resistance Deltec is known for

ASHEVILLE, N.C., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Deltec Homes, a leader in hurricane-resistant round home design, today introduced 360° Elements, a new line of five predesigned homes that pairs the company’s distinctive round living spaces with rectangular wings that offer more traditional room layouts.

Inspired by one of Deltec’s most requested custom home styles, 360° Elements brings more flexible floor plans to round living. Like Deltec’s best-selling 360° Signature line, 360° Elements offers a simpler, faster, and more cost-effective path to a hurricane-resilient home than a fully custom design.

At the heart of each 360° Elements home is an open, light-filled round living space, where vaulted ceilings and windows following the curve bring the surrounding landscape into everyday life. Rectangular wings add space and flexibility for the way each homeowner lives.

“People are drawn to Deltec homes not just for their resilience, but for how they feel—the light, the openness, and the way the views become part of everyday life,” said Meg Gore, CEO of Deltec Homes. “With 360° Elements, we’re making that experience work for even more people. The wings give homeowners additional flexibility for the spaces they use every day, while the round living area remains at the heart of the home.”

More ways to make round living your own

The five models—Mesa, Grove, Summit, Headland, and Crest—offer a range of floor plans, with options for entries, private suites, extra bedrooms, and attached garages.

360° Elements builds on Deltec’s decades of high-wind experience. Each home combines Deltec’s radial structural system in the round living space with high-strength materials and strong connections. Deltec homes have endured direct hits from some of the most destructive hurricanes on record, including Andrew, Katrina, Michael, Dorian, and Ian. In fact, Deltec round homes built over the last 30 years have a documented 99.9% survival rate. In 2024, Hurricane Helene devastated Deltec’s hometown of Asheville, demonstrating that hurricane impacts can reach far inland—even into mountain communities.

The standard 360° Elements structural shell is designed for wind speeds up to 130 mph, with upgrades available up to 190 mph, depending on the design and location. Manufactured in Asheville using Deltec’s panelized building system, 360° Elements homes are designed for energy efficiency as well as strength. 360° Elements is available in all 50 states and the Caribbean.

New solution helps energy utilities and equipment manufacturers manage trusted device identities across complex, multi-vendor infrastructure

ASHBURN, Va., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OmniTrust today announced the launch of GridAuth, a device identity and trust management platform for energy utilities and equipment manufacturers deploying secure Wi-SUN® Field Area Networks (FAN), Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), and connected-grid infrastructure. The announcement coincides with the Wi-SUN Alliance Fall Members Meeting in North Carolina.

Energy utilities are managing increasingly complex networks of smart meters, routers, gateways, and other connected devices, often supplied by multiple manufacturers and expected to remain deployed for decades. As these networks expand, so do the cybersecurity risks and regulatory demands surrounding critical infrastructure protection and supply chain security. Establishing trusted device identities at manufacturing is only the beginning. Maintaining secure communications and operational control throughout each device’s lifecycle is essential to protecting critical infrastructure.

GridAuth bridges the gap between device identity established during manufacturing and the long-term trust requirements of utility operators. The platform helps manufacturers securely provision devices while enabling utilities to maintain visibility and control across complex, multi-vendor networks.

Key capabilities include:

Trusted Device Identity: Establish and track device identities from manufacturing through deployment.Secure Provisioning: Simplify certificate provisioning and enrollment for Wi-SUN and connected infrastructure devices.Multi-Vendor Trust: Support consistent identity practices across equipment manufacturers.Utility-Controlled Trust: Enable utility-defined trust policies and operational credentials.Lifecycle Visibility: Maintain visibility into device certificates and provisioning history.Cryptographic Agility: Prepare for evolving security requirements and post-quantum cryptography.

“Utilities are responsible for protecting infrastructure that may operate for decades, while manufacturers, technologies, and cybersecurity requirements change,” said Daniel Fynaardt, Vice President of Software Development at OmniTrust. “GridAuth is designed to give utilities greater visibility and control over device trust while simplifying secure provisioning for manufacturers. Our goal is to make trusted device identity easier to manage across the connected grid.”

GridAuth is powered by OmniTrust PKI (OTPKI), which supports certificate issuance, enrollment, validation, revocation, CA hierarchy management, and cryptographic key operations. Together, they provide the trust infrastructure needed for secure manufacturing, device onboarding, and long-term lifecycle management.

OmniTrust invites energy utilities, equipment manufacturers, and Wi-SUN ecosystem participants to learn more about GridAuth and share their requirements at GridAuth.com.

About OmniTrust

OmniTrust secures the connected world by delivering verifiable, enforceable trust across the entire lifecycle of devices, digital identities, and AI agents. As the leader in Trust Lifecycle Management, OmniTrust ensures security from design and provisioning through operation, update, and retirement.

Global customers, including many Fortune 100 companies, rely on OmniTrust to protect more than 2 billion devices and secure more than 3 billion software updates annually. OmniTrust enables end-to-end visibility, policy-driven enforcement and quantum-resilient cryptography across complex ecosystems in automotive, aerospace and defense, finance, healthcare and other safety-critical, regulated industries.
