Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

Through SEALQuantum, the Company aims to build hardware-based security into the systems that control, operate and connect quantum computers and create opportunities for long-term growth.

SEALSQ Corp (Nasdaq: LAES), (“SEALSQ” or “Company”), a developer of secure semiconductors and post-quantum cryptography solutions, today outlined the strategic and commercial rationale for its investments in quantum computing through SEALQuantum. The Company’s Root-to-Qubit strategy focuses on bringing secure chips, hardware roots of trust and post-quantum cryptography into quantum computing infrastructure while that infrastructure is being designed. The objective is to position SEALSQ as a supplier of security technologies for this emerging market while expanding applications for its existing semiconductor expertise.

Quantum processors rely on classical electronics and software to control qubits, authenticate operators, verify firmware updates and communicate with other systems. Those functions create points where hardware-based security can help verify a device’s identity, establish who is authorized to operate it and protect the data it exchanges.

“Quantum computers will depend on classical systems for many of their most critical functions,” said Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of SEALSQ. “Our investment strategy is designed to connect SEALSQ’s security expertise with the companies developing this infrastructure. By engaging early, we aim to identify opportunities to integrate our technologies into their designs and build relationships that can support future commercial adoption. We are pursuing that longer-term opportunity alongside applications for post-quantum security in systems customers use today.”

Building a Portfolio Across Quantum Computing and Security
SEALSQ’s investments and acquisitions bring together complementary capabilities across quantum processors, supporting electronics, connectivity and security applications in existing markets.

Together, they are intended to expand the potential applications of the Company’s core security technologies as quantum infrastructure develops.

Working across distinct quantum computing architectures

• In France, Quobly is developing silicon spin qubits using established semiconductor manufacturing techniques.
• In the United States, EeroQ is developing qubits based on electrons held above liquid helium. SEALSQ’s investments in both companies give it an opportunity to explore how hardware-based security can be applied across two distinct architectures.
• Its acquisition of IC’ALPS, a French custom chip design specialist, adds expertise in designing the classical electronics that support quantum processors, including circuits for cryogenic environments.

Connecting quantum systems and testing practical applications

• Swiss-based Miraex, acquired by SEALSQ, is developing photonic technology designed to convert microwave signals into optical signals, a step toward linking quantum processors over optical networks.
• WISeSat.Space provides a platform for deploying and testing post-quantum security in low Earth orbit. Separately, SEALSQ is working with ColibriTD and Xdigit to explore whether quantum algorithms can help model voltage drop in advanced chip designs.

Applying the same security principles to infrastructure in use today

• In Spain, Quantix Edge Security is developing local semiconductor testing and personalization capabilities, including secure key provisioning.
• SEALSQ’s majority investment in Wecan Group provides a route to bring post-quantum protection into digital identity, secure data exchange and compliance workflows used by financial institutions.

Together, these initiatives reflect the scope of SEALSQ’s Root-to-Qubit strategy, from the first cryptographic key provisioned on a chip to the networks that could connect quantum processors. Scaling quantum computing is not only about increasing the number of qubits; it is also about ensuring those qubits can operate within a trusted ecosystem. SEALSQ addresses both challenges by supporting qubit scalability while embedding a hardware Root of Trust that enables trusted hardware, authenticated operators, and verifiable data integrity across the quantum infrastructure.

About SEALSQ:
SEALSQ is a leading innovator in Post-Quantum Technology hardware and software solutions. Our technology seamlessly integrates Semiconductors, PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), and Provisioning Services, with a strategic emphasis on developing state-of-the-art Quantum Resistant Cryptography and Semiconductors designed to address the urgent security challenges posed by quantum computing. As quantum computers advance, traditional cryptographic methods like RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) are increasingly vulnerable.

SEALSQ is pioneering the development of Post-Quantum Semiconductors that provide robust, future-proof protection for sensitive data across a wide range of applications, including Multi-Factor Authentication tokens, Smart Energy, Medical and Healthcare Systems, Defense, IT Network Infrastructure, Automotive, and Industrial Automation and Control Systems. By embedding Post-Quantum Cryptography into our semiconductor solutions, SEALSQ ensures that organizations stay protected against quantum threats. Our products are engineered to safeguard critical systems, enhancing resilience and security across diverse industries.

On 10th of November 2026, AB Rokiškio sūris signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with AB Pieno žvaigždės for the acquisition of assets of a cheese manufacturing plant located in Pasvalys, Lithuania. The total amount of the transaction is not disclosed by agreement of the parties.

The assets to be acquired primarily comprise land plots, buildings, production equipment and related infrastructure associated with cheese manufacturing operations. The transaction is structured as an asset acquisition and does not involve the acquisition of shares in AB Pieno žvaigždės.

The transaction excludes the equipment, buildings and related infrastructure required for cheese ripening (maturing) and packaging operations at the Pasvalys cheese plant.

The assets to be acquired under the agreement also exclude AB Pieno žvaigždės’ trademarks, other intellectual property rights, and existing agreements with suppliers and customers. These rights and agreements will not be transferred to the buyer.

Ownership of the acquired assets will be transferred to the AB Rokiškio sūris group through its subsidiary UAB RS IT, which was established specifically for this purpose and is wholly owned by AB Rokiškio sūris.

The sole condition precedent to the completion of the transaction is obtaining clearance for the concentration from the Competition Council of the Republic of Lithuania, if such clearance is required.

Upon completion of the transaction, the AB Rokiškio sūris group would have the capacity to increase production volumes of its core product – cheese – by more than 50%. This acquisition would enable the group to maintain its leading position in the dairy processing and cheese manufacturing sectors in the Baltic States and create opportunities for further business expansion.

AB Rokiškio sūris will announce the completion of the transaction separately.

ATFCD52 device supports dense capacitive sensor arrays, providing detailed tactile data for real-time grip control and early slip detection

CHANDLER, Ariz., Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Reliable robotic manipulation requires more than vision, particularly when handling soft, fragile or irregular objects. Cameras can locate an object, but tactile sensing provides the contact information needed to determine how firmly it is held and whether it is beginning to slip. Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) has introduced the ATFCD52 high-speed capacitance digitizer to convert signals from fine-grid, two-dimensional capacitive sensor arrays into high-sensitivity digital data. An external processor can use this data to calculate normal and shear forces, helping robotic grippers and dexterous humanoid hands adjust how they grasp and manipulate objects.

“Robots have become increasingly capable of seeing and understanding their surroundings, but the ability to feel and respond to physical contact remains a critical challenge,” said Giovanni Fontana, senior director of Microchip’s human machine interface division. “The ATFCD52 is designed to deliver the real-time tactile data that serves as a foundation for the development of more dexterous robots and the advancement of physical AI.”

Supporting up to 52 channels with up to 32 transmit (TX) by 20 receive (RX) lines, the ATFCD52 enables dense, two-dimensional capacitive sensor arrays that capture data across the contact surface. Twenty parallel on-chip analog front ends simultaneously acquire all receive lines, enabling frame rates of up to 800 Hz, depending on the size of the sensor array. This high-speed acquisition helps the system detect the onset of a slip and adjust the grip before objects are dropped or crushed.

Further enhancing performance, the ATFCD52 is designed to resolve capacitance changes below 1 femtofarad (fF), providing the sensitivity needed to detect subtle tactile sensor deformation. This level of sensitivity is particularly important for light touch where capacitance changes can be extremely small and difficult to distinguish in noisy electrical environments. In robotic systems, these signals can be difficult to distinguish from electrical noise generated by servo motors, power electronics and switching regulators. Frequency hopping and oversampling also help mitigate this interference, supporting tactile sensing in electrically noisy environments.

For system-level processing, the ATFCD52 can be paired with Microchip MCUs, MPUs or FPGAs depending on application performance requirements. Developers can select a processing architecture appropriate for localized control or higher-throughput computation while incorporating the capacitance digitizer into a broader Microchip system solution. Beyond robotics, the ATFCD52’s flexibility makes it suitable for applications such as augmented reality and gaming accessories, data-collecting gloves and foot mats and wearable sensing such as electronic skin. Visit the website to learn more about Microchip’s full portfolio of robotics solutions.

Development Tools
The ATFCD52 is supported by the EV-ATFCD52 development board to help customers evaluate their capacitive sensor designs, tactile sensor materials and stack-ups. The ATFCD52 Configurator software enables user parameter configuration and real-time data logging to help accelerate evaluation and design-in.

Availability
The ATFCD52 high-speed capacitance digitizer can be purchased directly from Microchip or contact a Microchip sales representative or authorized worldwide distributor.

• Rapid Q3 2026 fiber expansion benefits communities and customers by enabling remote work, gaming, streaming, agriculture and telehealth
• 162,000 total fiber locations added across Kinetic’s 18-state footprint in Q3

BROKEN ARROW, Okla., Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kinetic today announced a major broadband expansion in Oklahoma, delivering multi-gig fiber internet to 7,000 additional homes across more than 30 communities in the third quarter of 2026. The expansion highlights Kinetic’s commitment to delivering better technology, at a better value for customers.

In the third quarter of 2026, Kinetic added fiber locations in Broken Arrow, Coweta, Wagoner, Burns Flat, and more. And, according to Ookla® Speedtest Intelligence® data 1H 2026, Kinetic delivers “the most responsive internet speeds” in Broken Arrow.*

“I love Kinetic’s price and service! I’ve had zero issues and love the locked in price,” said Vincent Martin, a Kinetic customer in Poteau.
