Good afternoon, and welcome from AEA here in Dallas, Texas. I had the pleasure of joining Mark Shepherd. Our Head of International Sales. My name is Brit WANick. I'm the VP of Marketing. And today, Mark and I are gonna talk about what we're gonna do at Arrow Fridrick Shoffman, which is an international show in Germany in a few weeks, much like the sun and fun of era. Mark, glad to have you with us. Well, thanks, Brit. It's nice to be here. What can you tell us that's, unique about some of the UAVionics products that are good for Europe and the UK in particular how they might differ from what we have here in the US. Sure. Our main products that we market outside the US in the UK and Europe, but basically everywhere else are the AB thirty. Yeah. The tail beak and X, the AV twenty. We sell those as well. ADSB is a little bit different outside of this country where we're basically nine seven eight megahertz, UAT system here in the in the states. Outside the states, everyone else is on the ten ninety megahertz system, which is the satellites, space based ADSP system that, again, the rest of the world will all be using. When they start to implement their ADS out programs. On statin, and we offer both experimental and certified products that support those in Europe. Is that correct? We do. The experimental market isn't quite as big there as it is here, but we do sell those as well. But it's predominantly more of a certified environment. Setting in and speaking of those certifications, I know we've been working to, expand the approved model list or the aircraft model for some of those, any activity happening around that lately? Yeah. There's almost constant activity. Our focus is really on the Robin aircraft Okay. And the different models that they have, which is I'm told the the highest selling aircraft, in Europe, Yep. Developed in France a while ago, and lots of them there, and lots of them are eighty thirty and tail Bicconx candidates. Not standing. Yeah. I've, I've seen them they're all made out of wood if I recall correctly. I believe so. That's correct. Very good stuff. So has anyone flown to Robin yet with any of our equipment on So we have a customer in France that has obtained his own STC Oh, wow. For installation of the AV thirty. And he's shared that information with our office there, in the Netherlands. So customers who have that aircraft that are interested in an AB thirty I can get them the information to be able to install it. Fantastic. Wow. Looks like it's gonna be a great show over there in Arrow Fridrick Shop, and so I'm excited to have everyone there. Thanks for your time. Us too. Frost. Frost. Thank you.

Power first: AI data center siting now starts at the substation

Power first: AI data center siting now starts at the substation

Sandeep Prakash, a senior program manager in data center infrastructure planning, said on Amphenol Broadband Solutions’ Wavelengths podcast that new data center site decisions now start with the substation and utility interconnection, with fiber and latency planned alongside. RAND estimates AI data centers could need 68 gigawatts of power by 2027 and cites four to seven year grid queues in Virginia. The IEA reports AI-focused data center electricity consumption surged 50% in 2025.

  • 01AI-focused data center electricity use rose 50% in 2025 while energy per AI task fell by an order of magnitude a year, the IEA says, and both curves belong in the same capacity plan.

Ping’s Gouard: cryptographic ID checks can narrow false positives

Ping’s Gouard: cryptographic ID checks can narrow false positives

A bank that re-verified every visitor’s documents on each branch visit stopped fraud but pushed failure handling onto tellers; Ping is working with the bank to enroll customers’ faces so a tablet glance can replace repeat proofing.

  • 01A bank that re-verified every visitor's document on every branch visit stopped fraud but pushed failure handling onto tellers; the fix now underway is enrolling a face once and using a tablet glance after that.
  • 02Identity proofing should happen once, with an email or facial biometric bound to that event carrying trust through the account lifecycle until trust is dissolved.

Muse's Rise Signals the Next Phase of the AI Agent Economy, and Enterprises Should Be Paying Attention

Muse's Rise Signals the Next Phase of the AI Agent Economy, and Enterprises Should Be Paying Attention

Meta's Muse AI agent reached 2.5 million downloads within two weeks, suggesting agentic AI is moving from a developer curiosity toward mainstream consumer behavior. For B2B leaders, Muse’s early trajectory highlights emerging challenges around platform interoperability, data governance, and delegated authority as agent technology evolves.

  • 01Muse crossed 2.5 million downloads by its second week, outpacing the early trajectories of ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok over the same post-launch window.
  • 02Platform interoperability is the next battleground: Amazon has already restricted Muse's access citing terms of service, previewing the access and permissions friction enterprises will face when integrating agents.
  • 03Data governance and guardrails remain unsolved: Meta says sanitized interaction data trains its models with an opt-out, a more restricted Confidential VM architecture is planned for later in 2026, and early testing identified at least one case where the agent surfaced content beyond what a user's request called for.
