The acquisition of Dallas-based Mobilecomm and the integration of its over 1300 employees will significantly strengthen UST’s telecommunications practice and position the company to continue building upon its growth in this dynamic sector.

As telco workloads move to the cloud and open networks standardize, managing complex multi-vendor, multi-technology, and multi-cloud networks have become increasingly critical to success. This strategic acquisition will enable UST to merge its deep experience in cloud and devsecops with MobileComm’s wireless engineering capabilities, providing unique offerings for Communications Service Provider (CSP) customers. Furthermore, by combining UST’s domain expertise in other key verticals with Mobilecomm’s wireless engineering expertise, UST can bring industry-curated 5G (Private Cellular) use cases, providing new monetization opportunities to CSPs. Adding these capabilities to UST’s already strong telecommunications division positions the company to deepen existing client relationships while expanding its global client base.

“We are proud to announce the acquisition of MobileComm. We believe this strategic move will further empower UST to continue developing our wide range of compelling solutions in the telecommunications sector. We are now better positioned to leverage our existing technologies and client relationships to expand the scope of our offerings and deliver bespoke solutions that accelerate digital transformation.

Vitesco Technologies And Cebi Group Develop Key Technology For “Autonomous Electric Driving”

Development partnership between Cebi Group and Vitesco Technologies  

Advanced Sensor Cleaning System ensures the cleanliness of environmental sensors in autonomous electric vehicles 

Technology from both partners results in a complete system that can clean more than ten sensors simultaneously 

 Vitesco Technologies, a leading international manufacturer of advanced powertrain technologies and electrification solutions and Cebi Group, a specialist in washer systems, are partnering to develop the Advanced Sensor Cleaning System (ASCS), a highly integrated all-in-one solution that can keep more than 10 environmental sensors clean with water pressure of up to 7 bar, using just a single infrastructure.  

This addresses an important requirement for autonomous electric driving: Environmental sensors such as cameras and lidars must be kept free from dirt and adverse effects caused by wind and weather conditions for the safe execution of the autonomous driving function – and thus also of the powertrain. As future autonomous vehicles will generally be electric, the connectivity between the sensor and the electric drive is a key subject for this partnership. 

“The all-in-one sensor cleaning system is a key product for autonomous electric driving. A single high-pressure pump is sufficient to supply several sensors, and with lower water consumption. Thanks to its high degree of integration, it is also very easy and economical to accommodate in the vehicle,” said Robert Paul, head of Actuators business unit, Powertrain Solutions division at Vitesco Technologies.  

Etienne Jacqué, head of R&D at Cebi Group, reiterates the benefits of the partnership for vehicle manufacturers: “Combining our globally successful technology for washer systems with the electronics and electromechanical expertise of Vitesco Technologies creates a complete system that is a key enabler for autonomous electric drive systems.” 

Vitesco Technologies supplies three core components for the new sensor cleaning system and ensures functional integration: A brushless and compact high-pressure pump with 2 to 7 bar delivery pressure provides the cleaning water for the complete sensor equipment of a vehicle. A special distributor redirects the flow from the pump to the correct sensor. The control electronics also come from Vitesco Technologies.  

Cebi Group provides the large reservoir with up to four individual washer pumps for the classic windshield and headlamp cleaning, the complex hosing, the nozzle technology as well as the overall mechanical system integration in the vehicle. 

Production is scheduled to start at the end of 2026.

Terribly Tiny Tales partners With AJIO To Launch Its Raksha Bandhan IP ‘Tied For Life’ S1, Celebrating The Reality Of Siblingship!

As the festive fervour of Raksha Bandhan envelops the nation, Terribly Tiny Tales, India’s most loved content company has launched its first-ever Raksha Bandhan IP, titled ‘Tied For Life S1’ with a human touch, in collaboration with AJIO. This light hearted campaign celebrates the timeless bond of sibling love and encapsulates the spirit of Raksha Bandhan with real and memorable stories. 

The hero piece of the campaign is a 90-seconds Instagram video, directed by Shubham Sinha and produced by Sharanya Rajgopal and Anuj Gosalaia along with Executive Producer, Pracchi Batnagar. Amazingly cinematographed by Arindam Bhattarjee, the film is beautifully penned by Ritu Mago.

Featuring the sibling duo Pooja Gor and Darsheel Safary, the film highlights the everyday special moments that siblings share striking a relatable chord with the viewers. Released on 26th August, the film showcases the fun banter, the feeling of belonging shared by siblings, and especially, the unexpressed, underlying love between the duo. By introducing these incredibly talented actors and showcasing nuanced insights, the film definitely enraptures the audience, leaving them craving for more! While beautifully delivering the message that the festival is not just about the gifts but the expressed gestures as well, the film also fosters the celebration of love, protection, compassion, support, and a memorable, life-long relationship. Tied For Life S1 is styled by AJIO, infusing the campaign with charm and a high fashion-quotient.

A Rakhi is not merely a thread; it symbolizes feelings intertwined with everlasting affection. Constant brawls, a never-ending desire to kill each other, and the buried emotion hidden behind walls all dissipates during the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. Reflecting on these moments and emotions and encouraging everyone to cherish this invaluable relationship, TTT through this campaign, elevates the celebration spirit for brothers and sisters in the country inviting the audience to gift their siblings something special from @ajiolife’s stunning collection, this Raksha Bandhan.

Anuj Gosalia, CEO, TTT perfectly captures the campaign, “Raksha Bandhan is one festival that’s unlike any other. Of course it’s beautiful, full of love and emotional but most of all, it’s playful! Just like the relationship between siblings. 

With Tied For Life S1, we bring to life the mischief, the love, that is expressed through indirect ways and the comfort of siblingship. The campaign celebrates the everyday-ness of the bond and truly captures the reality of Raksha Bandhan. It’s taken many notches up being styled by AJIO's stunning collection making it a fashionably festive season.”

TTT has been constantly building its own IPs, powered by various brands. To break through the noise, TTT has always leaned more towards human and real storytelling for festive campaigns that are closer to the sentiment of the community. This time, the platform has raised the creative ante to take the Raksha Bandhan occasion beyond #SiblingLove by crafting several bite-sized tales and snackable videos of siblinghood with thoughtful approaches while highlighting the multifaceted relationship between all brothers and sisters.
