Mavenir MAVcore – Rated Very Strong by GlobalData

Mavenir’s MAVcore Cloud-Native IMS and Voice Services has been rated Very Strong by GlobalData, placing Mavenir among the industry’s top-rated IMS and Voice Core providers.

RICHARDSON, Texas, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mavenir, the software company building Telco-First, Cloud-Native, AI-by-design mobile networks, today announced that GlobalData has rated its MAVcore Cloud-Native IMS and Voice Services Very Strong in its IMS and Voice Core: Competitive Landscape Assessment (June 2026), placing Mavenir among the industry’s top-rated IMS and Voice Core providers alongside Nokia, ZTE, and Ericsson.

The report evaluated vendors across five dimensions: solution architecture, platform and performance, feature and application support, interoperability, and deployment experience. MAVcore earned a Strong to Very Strong rating in all five.

Mavenir MAVcore - Rated Very Strong by GlobalData

Source: GlobalData, IMS and Voice Core Competitive Landscape Assessment, June, 2026.

Solution architecture: Very Strong. MAVcore was designed from the ground up as a Cloud-Native, microservices-based IMS purpose-built for VoLTE and 5G voice, with a single unified code base that eases migration from NFV-based deployments to fully containerized versions.

Platform and performance: Very Strong. The highly decomposed architecture scales independently by function, allowing operators to optimize resources per use case and adapt to shifting traffic patterns without degrading performance.

Interoperability: Very Strong. MAVcore delivers proven multi-vendor integration across policy, signaling, media, and device ecosystems, a critical requirement in the multivendor networks most operators run today.

Feature and application support: Strong. MAVcore delivers the core IMS features and supplementary services operators require for VoLTE and 5G voice deployments.

Deployment experience: Strong. Mavenir has grown its voice business to more than 50 customers worldwide, including high-profile greenfield deployments and voice transformation projects with established communications service providers (CSPs).

Beyond the five rated dimensions, GlobalData highlighted Mavenir’s AI roadmap. Mavenir is focused on in-call AI services, including simultaneous translation, agentic SMB assistants, and transcription, targeting what GlobalData identifies as the fastest-growing voice service opportunity. Mavenir’s signaling security, spam detection, and fraud management capabilities add a further layer of differentiation and a foundation for value-added services.

As voice calling evolves from human-to-human interaction to human-to-agent interaction, Mavenir will continue to invest in cloud-native architecture and AI-enabled services that help operators modernize their voice networks and capture new sources of revenue.

“Being recognized as Very Strong by GlobalData validates the investment Mavenir has made in cloud-native voice architecture,” said Sachin Karkala, EVP & General Manager, IMS & RAN, Mavenir. “As operators worldwide decommission legacy networks and look to monetize voice through AI-enabled services, Mavenir’s ground-up cloud-native approach positions our customers to move faster and scale with confidence.”

“Mavenir designed its Cloud-Native IMS solution from the ground up for VoLTE and 5G voice,” said Andy Hicks, Senior Principal Analyst at GlobalData. “That architecture, and the company’s base of more than 50 voice customers worldwide, are among the factors that earned Mavenir a Very Strong rating in this year’s assessment.”

eXp Realty Expands Investment in Latin America with First Spanish-Language eXpcon

Latin America’s growing importance in global real estate is driving demand for stronger cross-border connections, local expertise and trusted partnerships

eXp Realty Expands Investment in Latin America with First Spanish-Language eXpcon

Latin America’s growing importance in global real estate is driving demand for stronger cross-border connections, local expertise and trusted partnerships.

BELLINGHAM, Wash., July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — eXp Realty®, the most agent-centric™ real estate brokerage on the planet and the core subsidiary of AGNT, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGNT), today shared additional details of eXpcon Medellín, taking place April 6–8, 2027.

The event will mark the first eXpcon to be held in Latin America and the first to be presented entirely in Spanish, underscoring the growing importance of the Central America, Latin America and Caribbean (CALA) region within eXp’s global network.

As more buyers from the United States and Canada look beyond their home markets for investment properties, second homes and relocation opportunities, the ability to navigate cross-border transactions and build trusted local partnerships has become increasingly valuable. eXp Realty currently operates across eight CALA markets: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Puerto Rico. eXpcon Medellín brings agents together with market experts from across Latin America to strengthen those connections and better serve clients with real estate goals that extend beyond their home markets.

“CALA represents some of the most driven, entrepreneurial agents in our entire network,” said Felix Bravo, Managing Director of eXp International. “The lines between local and international real estate continue to blur. Our agents are increasingly serving clients whose goals extend beyond a single city or country. Bringing eXpcon to Latin America and presenting it entirely in Spanish is an investment in helping them build the knowledge, relationships and market expertise they’ll need for the future.”

For agents throughout North America and beyond, eXpcon Medellín offers a unique opportunity to experience one of the world’s most dynamic real estate regions firsthand. The event is designed to help attendees better understand emerging markets, strengthen referral networks and uncover new opportunities to serve clients with real estate interests throughout Latin America.

“Latin America is playing an increasingly important role in global real estate,” said Virginia Restrepo, CALA Regional Director at eXp International. “For years, our agents have traveled the world to learn from others. Now it’s our turn to welcome the world to Latin America and showcase the innovation, expertise and entrepreneurial spirit shaping the future of real estate across our markets. Presenting eXpcon entirely in Spanish ensures those conversations are authentic to the people and communities driving that momentum.”

The three-day conference will feature keynote speakers, business and leadership education, networking opportunities and region-specific programming, all presented in Spanish.

Early bird registration is now open at expconintl.exprealty.com. eXplorer Passes are also available for non-eXp agents interested in experiencing the company’s collaborative model firsthand.

The world’s most-followed TikTok creator, Khaby Lame, joins Holafly as Global Brand Ambassador

Khaby Lame using a Holafly eSIM to stay connected while travelling through an airport.

Khaby Lame using a Holafly eSIM to stay connected while travelling through an airport.

DUBLIN, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — For years, Khaby Lame has built a global audience around a clear principle: why make something complicated when it can be easy?

Without saying a word, the world’s most-followed TikTok creator became one of the internet’s most recognisable personalities by exposing unnecessarily complicated solutions and replacing them with simpler, more obvious ones. Today, that philosophy forms the foundation of a new partnership with Holafly, the global leader in travel eSIMs, where Khaby joins as the company’s Global Brand Ambassador.

The partnership brings together two brands that have built their success around making everyday experiences easier. While Khaby became a global phenomenon by dismantling unnecessary complexity, Holafly has spent years helping travelers stay connected abroad without the traditional frustrations associated with roaming charges.

Despite the digital transformation of travel, staying connected abroad remains one of the last unresolved challenges of international travel, with millions of people still arriving in new countries searching for local SIM cards, relying on public Wi-Fi or worrying about roaming costs.

Holafly was built to change that. By allowing travelers to activate mobile data before departure and connect within minutes of arriving at their destination, the company has simplified a process that was long accepted as an unavoidable inconvenience.

The partnership comes at a time when convenience has become one of the main expectations of modern travel. Travelers can book flights, accommodation, transportation and experiences from their smartphones in seconds, yet crossing a border can still result in losing access to the services, information and communication tools they rely on every day.

The partnership builds on an existing connection with the brand, as Khaby has used Holafly while travelling internationally. As someone whose work regularly takes him across countries and continents, and who has built a global audience by promoting simplicity, staying connected easily makes the collaboration a natural fit.

“Khaby became a global phenomenon by reminding people that the simplest solution is often the best one,” said Daniela Prado, Brand Director at Holafly. “When we examined what makes his content resonate with hundreds of millions of people around the world, we recognised that it reflects exactly what travelers expect today. Whether they are booking a flight, navigating a new city or staying in touch with family and colleagues, people value experiences that feel seamless, intuitive and dependable.”

With more than 25 million eSIMs sold worldwide and coverage across more than 200 destinations, Holafly stands as one of the most recognised brands in the travel technology sector. The partnership with a creator whose audience spans virtually every major travel market reflects the company’s growing global ambitions. Watch the campaign video here.

With more than 160 million followers on TikTok, Khaby’s appeal transcends languages, cultures and borders, positioning him as a natural fit for a company that helps millions of people navigate the world with greater confidence. Together, the partnership is anchored in a belief shared by both brands: travel is complicated enough already.

Society for Medical Decision Making Honors UMIT TIROL and Harvard Professor Uwe Siebert with 2026 Career Achievement Award

SMDM Career Achievement Award Ceremony

Beate Jahn, PhD, SMDM President (2025–2026); Professor Uwe Siebert, MPH, MSc, ScD, recipient of the 2026 SMDM Career Achievement Award; Mark Bounthavong, PharmD, PhD, Chair of the SMDM Awards Committee; and Milton Weinstein, PhD, recipient of the 1996 SMDM Career Achievement Award and Professor Siebert’s longtime mentor, following the presentation of SMDM’s highest career honor during the SMDM 48th Annual Meeting in Oslo, Norway, on June 30, 2026.

OSLO, Norway, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Society for Medical Decision Making (SMDM) presented its highest career honor, the 2026 Career Achievement Award, to Professor Uwe Siebert, MPH, MSc, ScD, of UMIT TIROL and Harvard University, recognizing his decades of transformative contributions to medical decision making through groundbreaking research, international leadership, education, and service.

The award was presented during the Leadership Awards Session at the SMDM 48th Annual Meeting in Oslo, Norway, by Professor Mark Bounthavong, PharmD, PhD, Chair of the SMDM Awards Committee and Professor of Clinical Pharmacy at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of California, San Diego.

The SMDM Career Achievement Award recognizes distinguished senior investigators whose sustained contributions have significantly advanced the science and practice of medical decision making. Recipients are selected through a competitive nomination process following an open call and are evaluated by the Society’s Awards Committee.

“It was a tremendous honor to present the Society for Medical Decision Making’s 2026 Career Achievement Award to Professor Uwe Siebert,” said Professor Bounthavong. “Throughout his career, Professor Siebert has exemplified the qualities this award celebrates, scientific excellence, methodological innovation, visionary leadership, and an unwavering commitment to improving healthcare decisions through rigorous evidence. His work has influenced researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and generations of trainees around the world, making him exceptionally deserving of this recognition.”

Professor Siebert serves as Professor of Public Health, Medical Decision Making and Health Technology Assessment and Head of the Institute of Public Health, Medical Decision Making and Health Technology Assessment at UMIT TIROL – University for Health Sciences and Health Technology in Austria. He is also Adjunct Professor of Health Policy and Management, and Epidemiology, at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and an affiliated researcher at the Center for Health Technology Assessment at Mass General Brigham, Harvard Medical School.

A physician by training, Professor Siebert began his career working in international public health projects in West Africa, Brazil, and Germany before pursuing training in public health, epidemiology, and decision sciences. He earned his Master of Public Health from the Munich School of Public Health and Epidemiology and both his Master of Science in Epidemiology and Doctor of Science in Health Policy and Management from the Harvard School of Public Health.

Over more than three decades, Professor Siebert has become one of the world’s leading voices in medical decision making. His pioneering work in medical decision analysis, benefit-harm assessment, health-economic evaluation, decision-analytic modeling, health technology assessment, epidemiology, and causal inference has advanced the science of evidence-based healthcare while directly informing clinical guidelines, cancer screening programs, health technology assessments, reimbursement decisions, and national health policies around the world.

His influence extends well beyond research. Professor Siebert is a Past President of SMDM and serves as recent Past President of ISPOR – The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research. Throughout his career, he has advised governments, health technology assessment agencies, professional societies, and international organizations on evidence-based policy and healthcare decision making. He has authored more than 500 publications, including scientific articles, textbook chapters, policy briefs, and HTA reports, and serves in editorial leadership roles for several internationally recognized scientific journals.

Professor Siebert is also a dedicated educator, teaching courses in health technology assessment, decision sciences, and causal inference from real-world data at the HTADS Program at UMIT TIROL and Decision Analysis in Clinical Research in the summer program at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Accepting the award, Professor Siebert reflected on the mentors, colleagues, students, and collaborators who shaped his career, emphasizing that scientific advancement is built not only on ideas but on the people who inspire, challenge, and support one another.

“I am deeply honored to receive this award, and I am truly grateful for this special recognition,” said Professor Siebert. “This award reflects not only my own work but also the dedication and expertise of my entire team. It also reflects the support, encouragement, and inspiration I have received throughout my career from my students, fellows, colleagues, mentors, friends, and my family. SMDM has been an extraordinary intellectual home, and I am grateful to this community for the opportunities it has given me to learn, collaborate, and grow.”

One of the most poignant moments of Professor Siebert’s remarks came as he reflected on the profound influence of his longtime mentor, Milton Weinstein, PhD, whose Harvard course first introduced him to decision analysis and ultimately shaped the direction of his career. Professor Weinstein received SMDM’s Career Achievement Award in 1996, making Professor Siebert’s recognition especially meaningful as it comes exactly thirty years after his mentor received the Society’s highest honor.

“Careers are built not only on ideas,” Professor Siebert reflected during his acceptance remarks, “but also on the people who inspire us, believe in us, and open doors.”

Throughout his address, Professor Siebert highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and working directly with healthcare decision-makers to translate research into meaningful improvements in patient care. Drawing on examples from his own career, he described how collaborative decision modeling informed national COVID-19 vaccination strategies and cancer screening policies, illustrating how rigorous decision science can have a lasting impact on healthcare systems and population health.

He concluded by encouraging the next generation of researchers to embrace collaboration across regions and disciplines and to remember that one of the most valuable skills in science is listening, to colleagues, patients, decision-makers, and one another.

Professor Siebert joins a distinguished group of Career Achievement Award recipients whose work has defined and advanced the field of medical decision making over the past three decades. Previous honorees include Anne Stiggelbout, John B. Wong, Dawn Stacey, Michael Kattan, Doug Coyle, Karen Kuntz, Murray Krahn, M.G. Myriam Hunink, Valerie Reyna, Ivar Kristiansen, Alvin Mushlin, Mark Roberts, Donald Redelmeier, Annette O’Connor, Howard Raiffa, J. Sanford (Sandy) Schwartz, Alan Garber, Barbara J. McNeil, Peter Wakker, David J. Spiegelhalter, Allan Detsky, Joseph Pliskin, Jerome P. Kassirer, Daniel Kahneman, George Torrance, John Eisenberg, Dennis Fryback, Harold Sox, Arthur Elstein, Milton Weinstein, and Stephen Pauker.
