The Group generated revenue in 21 countries, with markets outside Lithuania accounting for 51 percent of total revenue.

“The stronger performance reflects a combination of factors: the merger of NRD Systems and ETRONIKA, the alignment of processes and improved operating efficiency, continued technological advancement of our solutions, and the stronger reputation NRD Companies has built through successful international delivery. Together, these factors give us a more scalable platform for growth and greater capacity to serve customers across our priority sectors,” said Mindaugas Glodas, CEO of NRD Companies.

The Group also worked with the Inter-American Development Bank and the Pan American Health Organization on the Pan-American Highway for Digital Health, which will enable secure cross-border exchange of clinical data. In Lithuania, it completed the Mano Muitinė customs services portal and delivered a Digital Transformation Strategy for the Central Project Management Agency.

The Group also introduced its External Technical Teams service, giving customers flexible access to programmers, business analysts and project management teams with subject matter expertise relevant to the systems being developed or modernized.

Looking ahead, NRD Companies will pursue two complementary growth paths: expanding its proprietary platforms and repeatable solutions, while deepening high-value advisory relationships with public institutions and regulated industries. The Group will also continue developing its international pipeline and partnerships in priority markets.

“We see governments around the globe investing in secure digital infrastructure, and we are confident in the opportunities ahead. Advancing our own platforms and solutions gives us an important competitive advantage and enables more repeatable delivery across markets. At the same time, we will continue providing high-quality GovTech consulting services, helping institutions strengthen data governance, prepare for the responsible use of artificial intelligence and modernize their digital services,” Mindaugas Glodas added.

Inaugural use case combines NVIDIA AI models with Vaisala Xweather’s proprietary lightning data to extend lightning forecasting from one hour to three hours, giving customers more time to respond to severe weather.  

With NVIDIA GTC Berlin underway, Vaisala Xweather, the world’s leading provider of weather observation networks and data intelligence services, announced today a landmark strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to advance AI-powered early warning across severe and high-impact weather. The collaboration brings NVIDIA Earth-2 and accelerated computing into Vaisala Xweather’s proprietary observation networks, lightning data and operational weather products. The combination of these complementary assets gives customers the weather industry’s most advanced lead time, better preparedness, and stronger protection when severe weather strikes. 

While NVIDIA Earth-2 represents one of the most ambitious efforts in applied atmospheric AI, Vaisala Xweather brings what no AI model alone can provide, ground truth data with the world’s most extensive lightning detection datasets and decades of weather expertise. 

“High-impact weather doesn’t wait, and every extra minute of warning matters,” said Samuli Hänninen, Executive Vice President, Vaisala Xweather. “By combining NVIDIA Earth-2 models and AI tools with Vaisala Xweather’s observations and domain expertise, we can turn advanced models into earlier, more actionable warnings. For our customers, that means more time to protect their people, assets and operations.” 

The collaboration’s inaugural use case combines NVIDIA StormScope with Vaisala Xweather’s proprietary lightning data to extend lightning forecasting from one hour to three hours of lead time.  

Lightning is one of the fastest forming and most disruptive weather hazards. The impact of greater alert lead time will be felt across sectors most exposed to severe weather, including national meteorological services and government agencies, aviation, energy, maritime, transportation, and insurance. Two additional hours of warning can be the difference between reacting and preparing, giving customers the critical time to move crews to safety, control operations at airports, secure ports and wind farms, or manage crowds at outdoor venues. For these customers, earlier and more reliable warnings translate directly into safer people, protected infrastructure, and fewer costly disruptions. 

“AI weather models become far more powerful when grounded in real-world observations,” said Tim Carroll, Global Weather & Climate Business Manager, NVIDIA. “By building on StormScope with lightning data and a global sensor network, Vaisala Xweather can see severe weather coming hours earlier. Together, we’re showing how Earth-2 enables operational early warnings that protect lives and livelihoods.”  

Expanded lightning alerts are the first step in a broader collaboration. Vaisala Xweather plans to extend AI-powered warnings to other severe weather and enable more precise high-resolution AI forecasting. 

Vaisala Xweather will bring these expanding services to customers worldwide, from government agencies and national meteorological offices to commercial operators, helping them modernize forecasting, issue earlier, more confident warnings, and build the future of what AI for atmospheric science looks like. 

### 

About Vaisala Xweather  
Vaisala Xweather gives the world’s most demanding organizations the confidence to move beyond understanding the weather to acting on it. We take weather intelligence from sensor to insight, pairing our Vaisala heritage in measurement and atmospheric science with AI-enabled forecasting and the world’s largest observation networks. The result is decision-grade data and software that 40% of the Fortune 100 rely on to turn weather risk into advantage.

Diluted earnings per share increased to $1.61 per share during the three months ended September 30, 2026, up from $0.73 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Return on average assets was 1.98% during the current quarter, up from 0.90% during the third quarter of 2025. Return on average equity increased to 16.7% during the current quarter, up from 8.5% during the third quarter of 2025.

Net interest income increased by $1.3 million from $25.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, to $26.5 million during the current quarter. The provision for credit losses decreased from $5.4 million during the third quarter of 2025 to $150 thousand during the current quarter.

Non-interest income increased by $538 thousand from $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, to $2.8 million during the third quarter of 2026.

Non-interest expense was flat compared to the third quarter of 2025 at $15.1 million.

The provision for income taxes increased $877 thousand to $2.6 million during the current quarter from $1.8 million during the third quarter of 2025, due to higher pre-tax earnings. The effective tax rate declined to 18.9% from 25.6% in the prior-year quarter, related to the purchase of $14.5 million in green energy tax credits.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company reported net income of $31.1 million or $4.46 per share, an increase of $12.5 million from $18.6 million or $2.98 per share earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Earnings per diluted share increased to $4.40 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, up $1.46 from $2.94 during the first nine months of 2025.

Net interest income increased by $15.8 million from $61.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, to $77.7 million during the current period.

Certain comparisons to prior-year periods are impacted by the acquisition of Cornerstone Community Bancorp (“Cornerstone”) on July 1, 2025, as 2026 year-to-date results reflect a full period of combined operations while 2025 year-to-date results reflect only three months of combined operations.

President’s Comments

Andrew J. Ryback, director, president, and chief executive officer of Plumas Bancorp, commented, “Our lower-cost relationship-based deposit franchise and enhanced loan yield supported profitability during the third quarter, with continued loan repricing helping to maintain strong net interest margin. Profitability was further supported by the execution of another green energy tax credit investment that reduced income tax expense by offsetting current and prior-year taxes.

Loan balances remained relatively consistent during the quarter, due in part to the continued planned runoff of our lower-yielding indirect auto portfolio. Asset quality slightly improved during the quarter, and we continue to work toward favorable resolutions with the same relationships.

Our strong capital position and experienced team provide us with the flexibility to navigate changing economic conditions, return capital through share repurchases, support our clients and communities, and continue building long-term value for our shareholders.”

Loans, Deposits, Investments and Cash

Gross loans were $1.5 billion at September 30, 2026 and 2025. Increases in loans included $35 million in commercial real estate loans, $5 million in construction loans, and $1 million in equity lines. These increases were offset by a decrease of $20 million in automobile loans, $15 million in agricultural loans, $4 million in other loans, and $2 million in commercial loans.

At September 30, 2026, approximately 79% of the Company’s loan portfolio was comprised of variable rate loans. The rates of interest charged on variable rate loans are set at specific increments in relation to the Company’s lending rate or other indexes such as the published prime interest rate or U.S. Treasury rates and vary with changes in these indexes. Repricing frequencies on variable rate loans range from one day to several years, with the majority of commercial real estate loans repricing every five years. Approximately 78% of the variable rate loans are indexed to the five year T-Bill rate and reprice every five years. Loans indexed to the prime interest rate were approximately 19% of the Company’s variable rate loan portfolio; these loans reprice within one day to three months of a change in the prime rate.

Total deposits increased by $47 million, or 2.6% from $1.8 billion at September 30, 2025, to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2026. The increase in deposits includes increases of $38 million in money market accounts and $22 million in time deposits that were partially offset by decreases of $11 million in savings deposits and $2 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits. At September 30, 2026, 46% of the Company’s deposits were in the form of non-interest-bearing demand deposits. The Company’s brokered deposits consisted of a single $10 million time deposit acquired from Cornerstone, bearing an interest rate of 3.80%.

Total investment securities decreased by $10 million from $485 million at September 30, 2025, to $475 million at September 30, 2026. Contributing to this decrease was a $21 million increase in the unrealized loss position, from $23 million at September 30, 2025, to $44 million at September 30, 2026. The Company’s investment security portfolio consists of debt securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, U.S. Government sponsored agencies and municipalities.

Primarily related to the increase in deposits and cash flow from operations, cash and due from banks increased by $27 million from $87 million at September 30, 2025, to $114 million at September 30, 2026.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets (which are comprised of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed vehicle holdings) at September 30, 2026, were $21.3 million, up from $15.2 million at September 30, 2025. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.94% at September 30, 2026, up from 0.68% at September 30, 2025. OREO increased by $21 thousand from $114 thousand at September 30, 2025, to $135 thousand at September 30, 2026. Nonperforming loans were $21.1 million at September 30, 2026, and $15.0 million at September 30, 2025. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 1.41% at September 30, 2026, up from 1.0% at September 30, 2025.

During the nine months of 2026 the provision for credit losses totaled $420 thousand consisting of a provision for credit losses on loans of $350 thousand and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $70 thousand. This compares to a provision for credit losses of $6.5 million consisting of a provision for credit losses on loans of $6.3 million and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $211 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The higher provision recorded during 2025 was primarily attributable to the Day 1 CECL provision on non-PCD loans and to a lesser extent the establishment of a reserve for unfunded commitments acquired in the Cornerstone Community Bancorp acquisition.

Net charge-offs totaled $567 thousand and $219 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The allowance for credit losses totaled $19.7 million at September 30, 2026, and $19.6 million at September 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.32% and 1.30% at September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Borrowing and Repurchase Agreements

Short-term Borrowing Arrangements. The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB) and can borrow up to $451 million from the FHLB secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans with carrying values totaling $719 million. Based on its current level of FHLB stock holdings the Company can borrow up to $326 million. To borrow the full $451 million in available credit the Company would need to purchase $3 million in additional FHLB stock. The Company is also eligible to borrow at the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Discount Window. At September 30, 2026, the Company could borrow up to $55 million at the Discount Window secured by investment securities with a fair value of $57 million. In addition to its FHLB borrowing line and the Discount Window, the Company has unsecured short-term borrowing agreements with two of its correspondent banks in the amounts of $50 million and $20 million. There were no outstanding borrowings to the FHLB, FRB Discount Window or the correspondent banks at September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Note Payable. Plumas Bancorp had outstanding borrowings of $14.3 million with a correspondent bank at September 30, 2026. This loan matures on January 25, 2035, and can be prepaid at any time. This borrowing bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.85% for the first 5 years and then beginning January 25, 2027, at a floating interest rate linked to WSJ Prime Rate for the remaining eight-year term. Interest expense recognized on this loan for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, was $418 thousand and $438 thousand, respectively.

Subordinated Debentures. In connection with the acquisition of Cornerstone, the Company assumed $12 million of subordinated debentures, including $2 million of 4.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due November 30, 2035 (the “2035 Notes”). The 2035 Notes, which were issued in 2020, have a fixed interest rate of 4.75% for the first ten years and thereafter a quarterly variable interest rate equal to the then current three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 4.14%. The remaining subordinated notes were called in 2025 and are no longer outstanding. Interest expense recognized on the subordinated notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, was $133 thousand and $225 thousand, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements. The Company offers a repurchase agreement product for its larger customers which use securities sold under agreements to repurchase as an alternative to interest-bearing deposits. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $62 million and $94 million at September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Repurchase agreement balances at September 30, 2025 reflected accounts acquired in the Cornerstone Community Bancorp acquisition, approximately $41 million of which were subsequently reclassified to money market deposits during 2026. The balances at September 30, 2026, are secured by U.S. Government agency securities with a carrying amount of $89 million. Interest expense recognized on repurchase agreements for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, was $968 thousand and $347 thousand, respectively.

Liquidity

The Company manages its liquidity to provide the ability to generate funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals (both anticipated and unanticipated), fund customers’ borrowing needs and satisfy maturities of short-term borrowings. The Company’s liquidity needs are managed using assets or liabilities, or both. On the asset side, in addition to cash and due from banks, the Company maintains an investment portfolio which includes unpledged U.S. Government-sponsored agency securities that are classified as available-for-sale. On the liability side, liquidity needs are managed by offering competitive rates on deposit products and the use of established credit lines.

At September 30, 2026, the Company had $576 million of available borrowing capacity through a combination of FHLB advances, the FRB Discount Window and correspondent bank lines.

Customer deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. Total deposits increased by $47 million from $1.8 billion at September 30, 2025, to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2026. Deposits are held in various forms with varying maturities. The Company estimates that it has approximately $789 million in uninsured deposits which include uninsured deposits of Plumas Bancorp. Of this amount, $209 million represents deposits that are collateralized such as deposits of states, municipalities and tribal accounts.

The Company’s securities portfolio, Discount Window advances, FHLB advances, and cash and due from banks serve as the primary sources of liquidity, providing adequate funding for loans during periods of high loan demand. During periods of decreased lending, funds obtained from the maturing or sale of investments, loan payments, and new deposits are invested in short-term earning assets, such as cash held at the FRB and investment securities, to serve as a source of funding for future loan growth. Management believes that the Company’s available sources of funds, including borrowings, will provide adequate liquidity for its operations in the near future.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $16.5 million from $246.0 million at September 30, 2025, to $262.5 million at September 30, 2026. The $16.5 million includes earnings during the twelve-month period totaling $42.1 million and restricted stock and stock option activity totaling $2.4 million. These items were partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $14.8 million, the payment of cash dividends totaling $9.0 million and the purchase of approximately 80 thousand shares of common stock under the Company’s share repurchase plan totaling $4.2 million.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – Three Months Ended September 30, 2026

Net interest income increased by $1.3 million from $25.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, to $26.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The increase in net interest income reflects an increase of $1.3 million in interest income and a $113 thousand decrease in interest expense.

Interest and fees on loans increased by $1.2 million to $24.8 million related to an increase in average balance and an increase in yield. Average loan balances increased by $26 million, while the average yield on these loans increased by 21 basis points from 6.35% during the third quarter of 2025 to 6.56% during the current quarter. The increase in yield relates to several factors including the amortization of discount on purchased loans, the repricing of a portion of our commercial real estate loans most of which reprice every five years from the date of origination, and growth in fixed rate SBA loans which totaled $132 million at September 30, 2026, and $94 million at September 30, 2025. The weighted average rate earned on this portfolio at September 30, 2026, was 8.0%. The average prime interest rate decreased from 7.46% during the third quarter of 2025 to 6.79% during the current quarter. Loans indexed to the prime interest rate were approximately 19% of the Company’s variable rate loan portfolio; these loans reprice within one day to three months of a change in the prime rate.

Interest earned on investment securities increased by $283 thousand related to an increase in yield on investment securities of 29 basis points to 4.35% partially offset by a decrease in average balance of $6 million. The increase in investment yields is consistent with the partial restructuring of the investment portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2025 and market conditions. Average investment securities decreased from $482 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $476 million during the current period.

Interest earned on cash balances decreased by $224 thousand related to a decrease in average balance of $2 million and a decrease in average rate earned on cash balances of 74 basis points from 4.50% during the third quarter of 2025 to 3.8% during the current quarter. This decline in yield was mostly related to a decline in rate earned on balances held at the FRB. The average rate earned on FRB balances decreased from 4.36% during the third quarter of 2025 to 3.69% during the current quarter.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $197 thousand related to an increase of $24.6 million in average balance of interest-bearing deposits and a 4 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased from 1.56% during the third quarter of 2025 to 1.60% during the current quarter, primarily due to an increase in the average rate paid on time deposits from 1.87% in the third quarter of 2025 to 2.77% during the current quarter. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the average rate paid on money market deposits from 2.22% in the third quarter of 2025 to 1.79% during the current quarter.

The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.67% during the third quarter of 2025 to 1.63% during the current quarter, as the increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was more than offset by decreases in the average rates paid on repurchase agreements and borrowings. The average rate paid on repurchase agreements decreased from 1.69% during the third quarter of 2025 to 1.54% during the current quarter. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased from 5.20% during the third quarter of 2025 to 4.38% during the current quarter.

Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2026, increased 22 basis points to 5.05%, up from 4.83% for the same period in 2025.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $77.7 million, an increase of $15.8 million from the $61.9 million earned during the same period in 2025. The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $19.8 million in interest income partially offset by an increase of $4.0 million in interest expense.

Interest and fees on loans increased by $18.9 million related to increases in average balance and yield. The average balance of loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $1.5 billion, an increase of $333 million from $1.2 billion during the same period in 2025. Average loan balances during the first nine months of 2026 reflect a full period of loans acquired in the Cornerstone Community Bancorp acquisition, while the comparable 2025 period reflects only a partial period following the acquisition. The average yield on loans increased by 30 basis points from 6.24% during the first nine months of 2025 to 6.54% during the current period.

Interest on investment securities increased by $1.3 million related to an increase in yield of 22 basis points to 4.30% and an increase in average balance of $16 million to $472 million. The increase in investment yield is consistent with the partial restructuring of the investment portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2025 and market conditions.

Interest on cash balances declined by $419 thousand due to decreases in both average balance and yield. The rate earned on cash balances declined by 74 basis points to 3.76%. The average balance in interest-bearing cash declined by $798 thousand to $71.4 million.

Primarily related to an increase in balance and rate paid on deposits and repurchase agreements, interest expense increased from $9.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $13.1 million during the current period. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 1.43% during the 2025 period to 1.62% in 2026.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $3.5 million and is broken down by product type as follows: money market accounts – $1.2 million, savings deposits – $91 thousand and time deposits – $2.2 million. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased from 1.35% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to 1.57% during the current period. Average interest-bearing deposits totaled $986 million for the first nine months of 2026, an increase of $190 million from $796 million during the first nine months of 2025. Average interest-bearing deposit balances for the first nine months of 2026 reflect a full period of deposits acquired in the Cornerstone Community Bancorp acquisition, while the comparable 2025 period reflects only a partial period following the acquisition.

Interest expense on repurchase agreements increased by $621 thousand related to an increase in average balance of $41.7 million and an increase in rate paid of 40 basis points. The increase in average balances was primarily attributable to repurchase agreements acquired in the Cornerstone acquisition.

Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased 20 basis points to 5.07%, up from 4.87% for the same period in 2025.

Non-Interest Income/Expense – Three Months Ended September 30, 2026

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, non-interest income totaled $2.8 million, an increase of $538 thousand from the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the absence of a $628 thousand loss on the sale of investment securities recognized in the prior-year quarter.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, non-interest expense totaled $15.1 million, an increase of $11 thousand from the three months ended September 30, 2025. The four largest increases were $341 thousand in professional fees, $272 thousand in occupancy and equipment, $222 thousand in salaries and employee benefits, and $178 thousand in loan collection expenses. The largest reduction in non-interest expense was $879 thousand in merger expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2025. Management estimates that approximately $350 thousand of the professional fees and loan collection expenses recognized during the current quarter were nonrecurring in nature.

Non-Interest Income/Expense – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, non-interest income totaled $8.5 million, an increase of $713 thousand from the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the absence of a $625 thousand loss on the sale of investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Increases in non-interest income during the current period were $342 thousand in earnings on life insurance policies, $296 thousand in FHLB dividends, and $253 thousand in interchange income. Each of these items benefited from the acquisition of Cornerstone. These increases were mostly offset by a $1.1 million settlement related to the Dixie Fire during the first quarter of 2025.

Non-interest expense increased by $7.3 million from $37.6 million during the first nine months of 2025 to $44.9 million during the current period. The four largest increases were $4.0 million in salary and benefit expense, $1.5 million in occupancy and equipment expense, $1.0 million in amortization of core deposit intangible and $644 thousand in professional fees.

Salary and benefit expense totaled $22.9 million during the current nine-month period and $18.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The $4.0 million increase primarily related to the addition of personnel through the Cornerstone Community Bancorp acquisition. Related to an increase in pre-tax income, bonus expense increased by $626 thousand.

Primarily related to the acquisition of Cornerstone and to a lesser extent the sales/leaseback completed during the fourth quarter of 2025, occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $1.5 million from $6.5 million during the first nine months of 2025 to $8 million during the current period. Amortization of Core Deposit Intangible increased by $1 million related to the acquisition of Cornerstone. Other expense increased by $603 thousand primarily related to a $726 thousand loss associated with two fraudulent wire transfers during the first quarter of 2026. The largest reduction in non-interest expense was $1.9 million in merger expenses incurred during the first nine months of 2025.

Schneider Electric unveils new prefabricated reference design engineered for modular AI factories

Schneider Electric unveils new prefabricated reference design engineered for modular AI factories
Schneider Electric unveils new prefabricated reference design engineered for modular AI factories
  • New Schneider Electric RapidScale Modular Data Center Reference Design offers a flexible hardware blueprint built to support the NVIDIA Vera Rubin Platform as the market transitions from traditional building methods to manufacturing AI capacity at-scale
  • RapidScale, Schneider Electric’s portfolio for prefabricated modular data center solutions, combines 90% of Schneider Electric solutions with end-to-end lifecycle support to accelerate deployment, improve predictability and reduce project risk
  • New time study co-authored with Compass Datacenters found that prefabricated white space modules cut onsite installation time by 80%

BERLIN, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today announced its RapidScale Modular Data Center Reference Design 115. The new reference design provides a validated, pre-engineered blueprint for high-density AI infrastructure, streamlining onsite logistics and planning while accelerating deployment times for AI factories globally.

The design brings together the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform and innovative liquid cooling technology, built to maximize processing power while keeping energy use under control. By using advanced fluid cooling with smart temperature controls, it ensures data centers provide peak compute performance without risking overheating or wasting power.

By integrating modularity across the broader infrastructure architecture, this approach transitions operators toward repeatable, risk-tested AI infrastructure blueprints rather than relying solely on custom-engineered data centers. The blueprints combine power, liquid cooling, IT, software, and lifecycle services into a scalable, industrialized delivery model.

Addressing Market Shifts and Critical AI Infrastructure Challenges

The new modular data center reference design comes at a time of rapid growth and transformation across the data center industry, as processing needs for artificial intelligence fundamentally reshape infrastructure requirements.

What were once considered benefits of prefabricated modular infrastructure — speed, predictability, repeatability, and quality — are now essential requirements for AI-scale data center deployment. Schneider Electric estimates that global data center capacity will increase by 170 GW by 2030, reaching 300 GW in total, or 2.3 times the 2025 installed base. By the end of the decade, AI workloads are expected to account for approximately 65% of total demand. This growth is accelerating the need for quick deployment of AI infrastructure, driving simultaneous increases in investment, power demand, and capacity requirements.

Developers relying on traditional stick-built construction face increasing challenges in keeping pace with demand. Meanwhile, high-density computing environments intensify power and cooling requirements, creating complex integration challenges, and increasing pressure on grid capacity, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Skilled labor shortages further complicate these challenges by creating workforce bottlenecks and extending installation timelines for complex AI deployments.

Quantifying the Advantages of Prefabricated White Space

Separately, a new research paper co-authored with hyperscale developer, Compass Datacenters, ‘Prefabricated White Space Module Time Study: Lessons from a High-Density Liquid-Cooled Deployment’ (White Paper 238), highlights the quantitative deployment efficiency gains of shifting from traditional white space builds to prefabricated modular IT pods. According to the study performed at a Compass hyperscale data center campus, prefabricated modular pods shorten onsite installation time from 75.5 hours to just 15 hours per pod, delivering an 80% reduction in onsite installation duration. By shifting critical assembly, integration and verification to a controlled factory environment, data center operators can reduce on-site labor and complexity while bringing AI compute capacity online faster.

“The white space brings together the greatest concentration of systems and trades in the smallest footprint, with each installation dependent on the one before it,” said Adil Attlassy, Chief Technology Officer of Compass Datacenters. “Working jointly with Schneider Electric, we engineered a prefabricated module that integrates these systems into a single assembly, eliminating the need to coordinate multiple scopes of work onsite. By reducing onsite installation time by 80%, we accelerate deployment and help our customers bring their workloads online sooner.”

Schneider Electric RapidScale: An Integrated Industrialized Architecture for the AI Lifecycle

RapidScale is Schneider Electric’s end-to-end industrialized approach for designing, delivering, and supporting prefabricated modular AI infrastructure at scale. RapidScale utilizes deep engineering across power, cooling, IT space, software, and lifecycle services to help customers shift away from complex custom engineering and toward repeatable, risk-tested blueprints. This reference design also represents a foundational first step toward supporting the NVIDIA DSX POD reference design, which enables factory integration and validation of Vera Rubin AI infrastructure before shipment to accelerate time to first token.

In today’s market, supply chain management becomes the new critical component in reducing scheduling uncertainty and project risk. Schneider Electric addresses this challenge through a globally integrated supply chain that spans from individual components to complete modular solutions. Backed by manufacturing capacity that has grown fourfold since 2025, Schneider Electric’s footprint spans eight primary sites totaling 1.35 million square feet of capacity, complemented by three additional facilities and 12 partner sites across 10 countries.

Leveraging its broad portfolio, RapidScale incorporates approximately 90% in-house manufactured equipment. This ensures predictable performance, supply chain certainty, and full lifecycle support from day-one deployment through long-term optimization.

“As AI infrastructure scales at unprecedented speed, customers need solutions that are standardized, reliable, and deployable with certainty,” said Manish Kumar, Executive Vice President, Secure Power & Data Centers at Schneider Electric. “Through our portfolio of reference designs and prefabricated solutions, combined with global supply chain strength and lifecycle expertise, we help AI factory operators accelerate time to value while building the resilient infrastructure required for next-generation compute.”

Schneider Electric is recognized by Omdia¹ as the No. 1 global manufacturer of prefabricated power solutions, the No. 1 manufacturer of prefabricated modular data centers in North America, and one of the top six providers globally outside North America.

Schneider Electric will showcase its new modular reference design and prefabricated solutions portfolio, RapidScale, at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026. Visit booth 3041 to learn more.

The modular reference design has been validated to ANSI standards for U.S. deployments, with plans to extend the framework to support IEC standards for global implementations in the future.

MONTREAL, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Haivision (TSX: HAI), a leading global provider of mission-critical real-time video networking and visual collaboration solutions, today announced the release of its 2026 Public Safety Technology Report, a new industry study exploring the adoption, operational challenges, investment priorities, and emerging trends of real-time video and command center technologies across public safety organizations.

Based on responses from public safety professionals across law enforcement, fire and rescue, and emergency management, the report provides a comprehensive view of how live video, operation and command center technologies, AI-powered video analytics, communications infrastructure, and other video technologies are supporting mission-critical operations.

The findings show that public safety agencies are increasingly relying on live video and advanced situational awareness technologies while navigating budget constraints, integration challenges, network reliability concerns, and the growing complexity of information sharing across systems and agencies.

Among the report’s key findings:

  • Live video is central to public safety operations: 77% use fixed surveillance cameras, while more than half also use drones (57%) and body-worn cameras (54%), highlighting the variety of live video sources used across public safety organizations.
  • Drone as First Responder programs lead planned technology investment: 45% will invest in Drone as First Responder programs over the next 12 months, making it the leading planned technology investment among survey respondents.
  • Operation and command centers play a critical role in public safety operations: 69% of respondents operate an operation or command center to support functions like real-time crime monitoring, emergency response, and event and crowd control.
  • AI technology is poised to shape the future of public safety: 76% believe AI-powered video analytics will have the greatest impact on public safety over the next five years, ranking well ahead of all other technologies.
  • License plate readers, object detection, and facial recognition lead AI use: 34% of respondents are leveraging one or more AI-powered video analytics tools.

“The public safety community is embracing technologies that deliver faster access to real-time intelligence and improve operational decision-making,” said Marcus Schioler, Vice President of Marketing at Haivision. “The findings in this report demonstrate how live video, including drone programs, command center technologies, and AI-powered video analytics are now essential components of modern public safety operations. At the same time, organizations continue to face challenges around interoperability, information sharing, and resource constraints, highlighting the need for integrated technology ecosystems that connect people, systems, and data when every second matters.”

Attacker adoption of agentic AI is lagging the technology, but adversaries are already exploiting high-severity vulnerabilities in an average of just three days, leaving defenders a narrow window to reduce exposure

BOSTON, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ: RPD), a leader in AI-powered managed cybersecurity operations, today released its Quarterly Threat Landscape Report, revealing that human operators remain the primary drivers of modern cyber threats despite widespread warnings about autonomous AI attacks.

The report shows AI is used as an operational component in just 8% of tracked incidents. While automation increasingly handles tactical execution, human actors still select most targets and dictate attack intent. Drawing from vulnerability research, frontline incident response, and underground monitoring, the newly announced Rapid7 Intelligence connects these insights to deliver a comprehensive view of adversary operations.

“Board decks often confuse the real explosion in AI-driven vulnerability discovery with actual exploitation, which hasn’t materialized. Only 8% of tracked reporting cites AI as an operational component,” said Christiaan Beek, Vice President of Rapid7 Intelligence. “But that’s a snapshot of adoption, not a ceiling. Agentic capabilities are advancing faster than any organization, attackers included, can rework its processes around them. The question is when, not if, agentic exploitation scales. Defenders need to move past reactive patching and start grounding their risk appetite in concrete days of exposure.”

Key findings include:

  • Vulnerability exploitation continues to accelerate: Attackers exploit high-severity vulnerabilities within an average of just three days, with 71% occurring in the first week—underscoring the urgent need to address critical exposures faster than traditional patching cycles allow.
  • U.S. organizations accounted for the largest volume of ransomware listings. Rapid7 recorded 1,112 U.S. ransomware leak-site listings, roughly eight times Germany’s total, with The Gentlemen (342), Qilin (339), and INC Ransom (99) leading group activity.
  • “Holy Grail” vulnerabilities drive attacks. 79% of exploited flaws required no authentication and no user interaction, giving adversaries direct, remote access into enterprise environments.
  • Compromised access drove underground market activity. Of 63 monitored posts, 41 advertised Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or network access.

Across espionage and cybercrime campaigns, threat groups change, but core tactics persist, including command and scripting interpreters, credential theft, and remote-access exploitation. These patterns underscore the need for behavioral detection and response, not static lists of known groups.

What this means for security operations

The findings from the third quarter of 2026 point to clear priorities for security teams: identify exposed assets, assess what attackers can exploit, and prioritize fixes by business impact. While the report findings show cyber threats remain human-driven, attackers are still leveraging AI to accelerate campaigns, making it critical for defenders to rapidly patch remotely exploitable vulnerabilities rather than wait for scheduled updates.
