VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pecoy Copper Corp. (“Pecoy Copper” or the “Company”) (TSXV: PCU; FSE: D5E; OTCQX: PCUUF) is pleased to announce that its common shares have been approved for trading on the OTCQX^® Best Market (the “OTCQX Market” or “OTCQX”), following an upgrade from the OTCQB^® Venture Market. The Company’s common shares commence trading on the OTCQX Market today under the existing symbol “PCUUF”.

“Trading on the OTCQX is an important step in building Pecoy Copper’s presence in the U.S. capital markets,” said Vincent Metcalfe, President & CEO of Pecoy Copper. “This milestone is consistent with the Company’s strategy to broaden our shareholder base, improve accessibility for U.S. investors, and increase the Company’s visibility and liquidity as we advance the development of the Pecoy Project in southern Peru.”

The OTCQX Market is the highest market tier operated by OTC Markets Group. It is designed for established, investor-focused U.S. and international companies. To qualify for the OTCQX Market, companies must meet high financial reporting standards, follow best practices with respect to corporate governance, and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws.

Pecoy Copper’s common shares will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “PCU” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “D5E”. The upgrade to OTCQX does not affect the Company’s listings on those exchanges, and no action is required from existing shareholders.

About Pecoy Copper

Pecoy Copper is advancing the Pecoy Copper-Gold-Molybdenum-Silver Project and the Tororume Project, which together cover approximately 19,800 hectares in southern Peru’s Arequipa region. Pecoy is a large, undeveloped porphyry system located at approximately 1,650 metres above sea level, with access to established infrastructure, power, water and Pacific ports.

Prior to the Company’s current drill program, less than 49,000 metres of historical drilling had been completed at Pecoy, defining a broad mineralized system with potential for expansion along strike and at depth.

• 20260921 HHNV SBB Weekly update 14 September 2026 – 18 September 2026

HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UTStarcom Holdings Corp. (“UT” “UTStarcom” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: UTSI), a global networking solutions provider, made its inaugural appearance at the 27th China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE 2026), held September 9–11 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. Exhibiting from a dedicated booth, UTStarcom highlighted its extensive optical networking expertise and unveiled concept prototypes of its next-generation Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) platform designed specifically for AI data center (AI DC) networking infrastructure.

Among a wide variety of optoelectronic applications, CIOE 2026 served as a global stage for leading optoelectronic and optical communications innovators addressing the demanding computing requirements of the AI era. As AI clusters continue to scale, traditional copper interconnects and electrical packet switches (EPS) increasingly encounter power, latency, and thermal constraints. The OCS solutions presented by UTStarcom at the event focus directly on dismantling these barriers by introducing a dynamic, all-optical switching layer into the fabrics of AI data centers.

By eliminating power-intensive Optical-Electrical-Optical (O-E-O) conversions and packet processing at the corresponding AI network layers, UTStarcom’s integrated OCS solution addresses these scaling constraints across three dimensions:

• Enhanced AI Cluster Performance: Operating alongside traditional EPS in hybrid AI data center architectures, OCS provides an automated, dynamically reconfigurable optical layer. By offloading high-volume AI traffic onto direct photonic paths while enabling dynamic topology changes, resource pooling, and optical-layer redundancy, it eliminates buffer-related queuing delays and cuts packet loss and latency during large-scale model training and inference.
• Lower CAPEX and OPEX: Reduces the number of required optical transceivers while lowering power consumption, cooling requirements, and rack footprint.
• Protocol- and Bit-Rate-Agnostic Scalability: Provides protocol- and bit-rate-transparent fiber channels that can accommodate future increases in optical line rates without replacing the physical switching fabric.

Public Debut of UTStarcom’s OCS Concept Prototypes

During the exposition, UTStarcom unveiled the concept prototypes of its OCS platform alongside its in-house software management ecosystem. The platform remains in active development and comprises the following elements:

• UOS64 (Silicon Photonics Platform): A 64×64-radix OCS concept prototype based on Silicon Photonics (SiPho) technology. Engineered around chip-scale Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), it is designed to provide fast optical switching, high-density integration, and scalable optical path automation.
• MOS64 (MEMS Platform): A 64×64-radix OCS concept prototype built on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) micro-mirror core technology, designed to deliver low insertion loss, minimal channel crosstalk, and fast optical path switching.
• OCS platform software & SOO Station OCS management platform: UTStarcom’s SONiC-based OCS platform software, paired with the Company’s SDN controller. Through open Southbound and Northbound Interfaces (SBI/NBI), the software layer allows upper-layer orchestrators to automate optical-path provisioning, implement topology-on-demand and streamline optical fabric management.

Executive Commentary

Dr. Lingrong Lu, Chief Technology Officer of UTStarcom, commented: “Addressing the massive data workloads of next-generation AI clusters requires a fundamental rethink of networking strategies. By bringing both Silicon Photonics and MEMS-based OCS prototypes to CIOE 2026, we demonstrated our vision for a transparent, highly automated optical layer. Exhibiting these concept prototypes allowed us to gather vital technical feedback directly from potential customers and ecosystem partners, ensuring our ongoing R&D roadmap aligns seamlessly with real-world AI deployment requirements.”

Mr. Hua Li, Chief Executive Officer of UTStarcom, added: “The rapid expansion of AI infrastructure represents a transformative growth opportunity for optical networking. CIOE 2026 confirmed strong industry interest in flexible, reliable OCS platforms, and the engagement at our booth validated our strategic decision to prioritize AI DC solutions. UTStarcom remains fully committed to continuing investments into product development and working alongside global partners to bring a production-ready OCS portfolio to market.”
