Expereo Helps Kingspan Light, Air + Water Remove Network Complexity and Boost Resilience Across 100 Sites Worldwide

· The partnership provides Kingspan Light, Air + Water with enhanced connectivity globally

LONDON, Dec 10 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Expereo, the world-leading managed Network as a Service (NaaS) provider that connects people, places and things anywhere, today announces that Kingspan Light, Air + Water, the global provider of solutions in smoke control and fire safety, natural daylighting, ventilation and cooling, sustainable water management, and safe storage, has selected Expereo to deliver a fully managed global connectivity solution.

Kingspan Light, Air + Water had grown rapidly through acquisitions, leaving it with a fragmented network of multiple contracts, vendors and compliance requirements across 100 locations in 22 countries. Previously, multiple contracts, vendors and compliance requirements created complexity, with local changes often going unreported - leading to missed renewals, undocumented modifications and poor visibility into network health. This made diagnosing issues and distinguishing application problems from infrastructure failures extremely difficult.

To overcome these challenges, Kingspan Light, Air + Water partnered with Expereo to deliver a fully managed global connectivity solution. Expereo was chosen for its ability to design, implement, transition and support a single, standardised network under one agreement. The solution combines broadband, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services to ensure robust business continuity - essential for production sites that make up a third of Kingspan Light, Air + Water’s global footprint.

At the heart of the solution is expereoOne, Expereo’s NaaS platform, which gives Kingspan Light, Air + Water a single view of its entire network. The platform enables the IT team to monitor performance, track delivery dates, manage trouble tickets and deactivate services digitally. It also simplifies ordering and invoicing, making it easy to view quotes, place orders and maintain full transparency across all sites.

Ben Elms, CEO of Expereo, says: "I’m delighted we are supporting Kingspan Light, Air + Water in the next phase of its digital transformation. Global businesses face huge challenges managing fragmented networks across multiple regions - and our fully managed service combined with the expereoOne platform deliver the visibility and control Kingspan Light, Air + Water needs. By providing a single source of truth for all sites and services – we’re removing complexity, strengthening resilience and giving the organisation the security to scale and innovate without worrying about network risk."

Fergal Moore, Divisional Head of Infrastructure & Cyber Security at Kingspan Light, Air + Water, says: “expereoOne has transformed how we manage our global network. For the first time - we now have a single view of all services, contracts and performance across every site. This gives us confidence, control and the ability to make decisions quickly – putting us in the best place to capitalise on our growth ambitions.”

HORIZON QUANTUM LAUNCHES BERYLLIUM FOR SIMPLIFIED QUANTUM PROGRAMMING

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 10 (Bernama) -- Horizon Quantum Computing Pte Ltd (Horizon Quantum), a pioneer of software infrastructure for quantum applications, unveiled Beryllium, a hardware-agnostic, high-level programming language designed to make quantum software development more accessible.

Horizon Quantum founder and chief executive officer, Dr Joe Fitzsimons said Beryllium represents an important milestone in bridging classical and quantum programming.

"At Horizon Quantum, we believe that enabling conventional software developers to harness quantum computers will be key to unlocking new applications,” he said in a statement.

Beryllium is an object-orientated language that allows developers to start with simple classical and quantum building blocks, then progressively create richer structures by reusing and extending previously defined components.

The language shifts focus from managing qubits and low-level operations to structuring and transforming information, raising the level of abstraction and reducing complexity in quantum programming.

Beryllium is the third of four abstraction layers in Horizon Quantum’s roadmap to bridge classical programming with quantum-accelerated computing.

Developers can access Beryllium through Triple Alpha, the company’s integrated development environment, alongside existing Turing-complete languages Helium—a BASIC-like language for concurrent classical/quantum workflows—and Hydrogen, a portable assembly-like language for general control flow.

Horizon Quantum is previewing Beryllium at Q2B Silicon Valley, a leading quantum technology conference, highlighting additional advancements in its software stack, including pulse-level capabilities and Hydrogen execution on control systems hardware.

CGTN: China-Europe Ties: Shaping the Next 50 Years

BEIJING, Dec 5 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union - a pivotal moment not only for reflecting on the past, but for exploring the pathway for the next half-century. As the year draws to a close, prominent European leaders and thinkers have visited China, engaging in open dialogue about where China and Europe will go from here. 

Looking back, former Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi offered an arresting reflection. “China and Europe have never been enemies, but we have never been brothers,” he said. “And this is the moment in which history obliges us to change.” Prodi made the sharp observation that Europe must fully recognize the scale of China’s rise and understand that China’s role in global affairs is now indispensable. 

While Prodi pointed out this historical urgency, former Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel shed light on the challenges facing global governance. For him, one of Europe’s significant responsibilities to the world, together with China, is to safeguard stability. He noted that the world is confronting US-initiated tariff wars, which have triggered global trade upheaval. Schüssel believes that a Europe-China partnership would safeguard the architecture of peace and address disruptions. 

Peter Jungen, Chairman of Germany's Peter Jungen Holding, issued a call to entrepreneurs to focus on the dynamic Chinese market. He is convinced that China’s transformation into an innovation-driven, entrepreneurial economy has created opportunities the world cannot afford to ignore. His message to global business leaders is direct: China is not just a market, but a place where ideas, technology, and industry continuously regenerate and empower each other. 

"Europe’s competitiveness will depend on cooperation with fast-growing Asian economies,” says Iván Kovácsics, Director for International Strategy and Cooperation at Magyar Nemzeti Bank. He believes Europe must accelerate innovation and broaden its partnerships, and that China - with its strong industrial capacity and advanced technologies - is essential in this process. 

The next 50 years are now beginning for China and Europe, two major players in a multipolar world. A shared test lies ahead: how they will connect the two major markets and civilizations to build a comprehensive strategic partnership of global influence.

The milestone comes just two weeks after crossing the $5 billion mark, highlighting extraordinary market momentum and accelerating user demand for tokenized stock futures.

“Seeing traders jump into stock futures this quickly has been incredible,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “It’s clear users want a simple way to tap into both crypto and traditional markets, and this milestone shows how fast that shift is happening.”

The milestone further reinforces Bitget’s UEX vision, bridging traditional markets with digital assets through a single, unified account.
