Backed by Crosscall’s deployments with more than 350,000 public safety users across Europe, the CORE-P6 reaches American frontline teams through Quality One

ORLANDO, Fla., June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quality One Wireless, a U.S.-based leader in wireless device lifecycle services, today announced the U.S. market launch of the CORE-P6, a rugged push-to-talk (PTT) device from European mobile technology pioneer Crosscall. Only available in the U.S. through AT&T and certified as FirstNet Trusted™ for use on FirstNet®, Built with AT&T, the CORE-P6 brings purpose-built durability, audio clarity, and mission-critical performance to American first responders and frontline teams.

The launch marks Crosscall’s U.S. debut. With deployments supporting more than 350,000 MCX users across Europe, including national law enforcement organizations and elite special intervention teams, Crosscall brings field-proven expertise in rugged mobility to America’s first responders.

Through its integration with FirstNet, the CORE-P6 reaches public safety on their network. FirstNet Trusted™ devices are central to transforming the capabilities of our nation’s first
responders. They have met the standards for supporting the critical operational needs of
public safety agencies and users who need tools that are highly secure, resilient, scalable, and available when needed.

Quality One’s role in the CORE-P6’s U.S. launch reflects 33 years of carrier integration and device lifecycle expertise. Founded in 1993 in Orlando, Florida, Quality One has supported more than 500 device launches with U.S. Tier 1 carriers, including AT&T. The CORE-P6 program represents Quality One’s expanding focus on mission-critical communications devices for public safety and government customers.

“Bringing Crosscall’s CORE-P6 to American first responders is exactly the work Quality One has been doing for more than three decades. Carrier integration, FirstNet certification, and device lifecycle support are not the visible part of a device launch, but they are what makes a new device genuinely deployable in the field. The CORE-P6 program reflects the depth of expertise our team has built around mission-critical communications, and we are proud to deliver this platform to the public safety community alongside Crosscall and AT&T,” said John Chiorando, CEO of Quality One.

“At Crosscall, we design communication devices specifically for professionals working in demanding field environments, where reliability, durability, and ease of use are essential. With CORE-P6, first responders and frontline teams gain a purpose-built device that pairs ergonomic design with clear, dependable communication, allowing seamless compatibility with the tools and equipment they rely on every day to carry out critical missions,” said Nicolas Zibell, CEO of Crosscall.

About the CORE-P6

PTT-focused design for mission-critical use. At the heart of the CORE-P6 is a push-to-talk (PTT)-optimized design, featuring a rugged T-shaped radio form factor with large, glove-friendly buttons and a high-precision rotating channel selector.

Enterprise-ready deployment and MCPTT compatibility. Built on an AOSP foundation, the CORE-P6 supports enterprise mobility deployment with compatibility for leading MDM solutions such as SOTI and VMware. It is also compatible with AT&T Enhanced Push-to-Talk and FirstNet Rapid Response, and will be compatible with FirstNet Fusion, upon launch, enabling integration into existing critical communications environments.

Superior sound quality in any environment. The CORE-P6 delivers exceptional audio performance with advanced AI-driven noise cancellation, a powerful 100dB+ loudspeaker, and 360° audio architecture, ensuring clear, intelligible communication even in high-noise settings such as emergency response, construction, and industrial operations.

Ultra-tough durability for extreme conditions. Built to perform where other devices fail, the CORE-P6 is shock-resistant and waterproof, meeting IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810H standards. Its removable battery supports extended use and is optimized with AI-driven power management to maintain performance across extreme temperatures.

Future-proof technology and lifecycle support. The CORE-P6 is 4G/5G and backed by a robust lifecycle commitment, including a 3-year warranty, OS upgrades, and four years of security updates, providing organizations with long-term reliability and investment protection.

Optimized accessory ecosystem. Crosscall supports the CORE-P6 with a dedicated accessory ecosystem designed for real-world operational use, including in-vehicle solutions, single and multi-device charging, communication accessories, and remote-control options for greater flexibility in the field.

“As the only network built with and for America’s first responders and the extended public safety community, FirstNet is committed to providing first responders the best technology to complete their mission,” said Matt Walsh, AVP – FirstNet and NextGen 9-1-1 Products, AT&T. “By working together, FirstNet, Quality One and Crosscall are able to maximize their expertise on public safety to give first responders the connectivity and technology they need to complete their mission.”

The CORE-P6 will be available through AT&T’s business and retail channels and for public safety on FirstNet on June 26.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
