Seamless Expansion: INTERPORT REAL Enables IT and Telecom Infrastructure for Companies Entering Germany
Interport Real Expanding a business across borders is one of the most significant moves a company can make and, arguably, the most complex. For organizations establishing an office in Germany, the challenges go beyond real estate or legal paperwork. INTERPORT REAL GmbH positions itself as the go-to partner for businesses seeking a reliable, plug-and-play solution for technology infrastructure in the country. The full-service provider acknowledges that opening an international branch is inherently stressful, and Germany presents unique challenges that are usually underestimated. Those unfamiliar with the country's market are likely to view the infrastructure landscape as a bureaucratic and logistical maze. Take, for example, telecom and internet service provisioning. In Germany, securing telecom lines or business-grade internet connections can take anywhere from one to three months. This timeline usually blindsides foreign companies used to faster turnarounds and can derail entire launch timelines. According to Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), nearly 1,800 foreign companies set up new operations in Germany in 2024. INTERPORT REAL helps these companies overcome operational delays due to infrastructure missteps or overlooked regulations. INTERPORT REAL has observed how international companies usually demand that their German branches mirror the technological setup of their home offices right down to specific cable types or router models. This uniformity is crucial for streamlined central administration, compatibility, and long-term scalability. However, German vendors may not carry or prioritize these foreign components, leading to delays or substitutions undermining the company's IT strategy. Dr. Walter Hinder, Managing Director, shares an example: "A logistics company might want specific American-manufactured networking cables across all its sites worldwide to ensure interoperability. Ensuring those requirements are met locally without deviation requires a trusted partner with international sourcing experience and on-the-ground technical execution. That's what we do at INTERPORT REAL." Since its establishment in 2002, INTERPORT REAL has offered fully integrated telecom and IT infrastructure solutions tailored to the needs of international companies entering Germany. It has its headquarters in Grasbrunn near Munich and branch offices in Berlin, Leipzig, and Frankfurt. The company stands out for providing turnkey, plug-and-play solutions that allow foreign businesses to hit the ground running without technical friction. It delivers everything under one roof, from cabling and system installation to sourcing bespoke components and ensuring full compliance with local regulations. This in-house approach helps ensure quality control and schedule reliability, a major differentiator in a market where many vendors spread responsibility thinly across multiple third parties. The INTERPORT REAL process is straightforward. It begins by consulting with client stakeholders to translate centralized IT strategies into workable solutions in Germany. The company ensures that every detail aligns with corporate specifications. Each of its clientele receives a meticulously documented, scalable infrastructure aligned with German standards and their own internal protocols. This includes providing physical network cabling, adapting the power supply (uninterruptible power supply units), planning and building IT infrastructure (i.e., access points, switches, routers, and cameras), providing internet access and services lines, installing telephone exchanges, video conference systems, intercoms, and other technical equipment. Post-installation, INTERPORT REAL offers ongoing maintenance and support. This is a critical factor for foreign companies that may not have local IT staff on-site. INTERPORT REAL's ability to devise workarounds in scenarios where regulatory timelines lag is particularly noteworthy. The firm sets up temporary systems or alternative connections to keep businesses operational when telecom line provisioning delays are unavoidable. Moreover, it provides support for the migration from legacy systems to modern cloud-based architectures, including voice over internet protocol (VoIP) systems and cloud-based private branch exchange (cloud PBX) setups. An Installation by INTERPORT REAL It's worth highlighting that INTERPORT REAL specializes in sourcing and integrating international hardware that isn't typically available through German distributors, allowing global clients to maintain their internal IT standards without compromise. INTERPORT REAL thrives on complex, high-stakes projects. Its ideal partners are ambitious, growth-focused companies seeking to launch or scale their German operations without being hindered by technical, legal, or infrastructural complications. INTERPORT REAL has completed several projects for one of the most renowned e-commerce firms in the world. One of the most impressive projects involved a massive IT infrastructure rollout across an 800-meter-long logistics facility. The project required US-standard equipment, cabling, and systems throughout, despite none of it being standard fare in the German market. "We sourced all components, designed the layout, and executed the full installation within a tightly controlled timeline," Dr. Hinder states. INTERPORT REAL also recently engineered the complete IT infrastructure for a newly refurbished hotel complex. It handled everything, from access point optimization to system planning for seminar halls, canteens, and guest rooms. The team utilized advanced tools to ensure flawless wireless local area network (WLAN) coverage, a necessity in modern hospitality. INTERPORT REAL is currently working on several other projects with the same company. Expanding to Germany should be a milestone and not a minefield. For organizations seeking simplicity amidst complexity, INTERPORT REAL emerges as a strategic partner, delivering turnkey IT and telecom infrastructure solutions.

Trump Adviser Fails Key Question on Tariff Price Increases
White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett dodged an important question Tuesday about Donald Trump's latest threat to place a 25 percent tariff on foreign-made Apple products. During an appearance on CNBC's Squawk Box, a chipper Hassett was asked if there was an off-ramp to prevent an American-manufactured iPhone from costing up to $3,500. 'What is Tim Cook supposed to do?' asked co-host Joe Kernan. 'Right, well, you know, we'll see how it works out,' Hassett replied. 'The bottom line is that what we're trying to do is onshore as much as we can in the U.S. and make it so the U.S. is not hyper-dependent on imports from China.' Hassett insisted that an increase in U.S. equipment investments was a sign that supply chains were already adjusting to the president's sweeping tariffs on foreign-made goods. In reality, Trump's vacillating tariffs have resulted in uncertainty for the U.S. manufacturing sector, and a dip in orders placed with U.S. factories for business equipment. 'In the interim, you know, then we'll see how things work out,' Hassett repeated, providing no actual answer for how they planned to offset major price hikes for consumers. While Cook could placate Trump by announcing his intention to shift assembly to the U.S., shifting wholesale production could take multiple years. Hassett downplayed concerns over soaring prices, claiming that CEOs were simply overstating how disastrous the tariffs would be as a negotiating tactic. 'Everybody is trying to make it seem like it's a catastrophe if there's a tiny little tariff on them right now, to try to negotiate down the tariffs,' he said. 'And so, in the end, we'll see what happens, we'll see what the end game is, but we don't want to harm Apple.'

Donald Trump, UAE leaders agree to $312 billion in new deals amid historic visit: 'Enhancing market access'
President Donald Trump facilitated over $200 billion (AUD$312 billion) in commercial deals between the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during his historic visit to the Middle Eastern country, according to the White House. Several deals were made, including securing a $14.5 billion commitment from Etihad Airways to invest in 28 American-manufactured aircraft from Boeing and GE Aerospace. Emirates Global Aluminum is also investing $4 billion to develop a primary aluminum smelter project in Oklahoma, and Holtec International and IHC Industrial Holding Company plan to build a fleet of small modular reactors in Michigan. Qualcomm is also investing in a global engineering center in Abu Dhabi which will "focus on AI, data centers, and industrial [internet of things]," according to the White House. "RTX is [also] partnering with Emirates Global Aluminum and the UAE's Tawazun Council on a pioneering Gallium project that will help secure and stabilize the United States' critical mineral supply chain," the statement added. "By diversifying sources of this essential input for semiconductors and defense technologies, the partnership strengthens America's supply security, supports high-tech manufacturing, and creates jobs across the U.S. critical minerals and defense industrial base." In a statement, the White House said that Trump "continues to advance the interests of the American people, enhancing market access for American exporters to strengthen our economic and national security." "These deals will significantly expand investment in the United States and U.S. market access in the United Arab Emirates," the statement added. The deals came after the UAE pledged a $1.4 trillion investment in the U.S. economy over the next ten years. The investment money would go to AI infrastructure, semiconductor, energy and American manufacturing initiatives. Trump is the first U.S. president to visit the UAE in 17 years, following President George W. Bush's trip in 2008. On Thursday, the president told reporters that it was "an honor to be here." "The last four days have been really amazing, and they have been amazing," Trump said. "But it shows you where a country can go."

Red Cat Expands Maritime Domain Capabilities with Battle-Tested Unmanned Surface Vessels
Strategic partnership with leading USV company enhances Red Cat's multi-domain capabilities and capitalizes on rapidly growing global demand for autonomous, kinetic-capable platforms SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCAT) ("Red Cat"), a leading provider of drone technology for military, government, and commercial operations, today announced the expansion of its multi-domain Family of Systems with a new line of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs). This strategic move marks Red Cat's official entry into the rapidly evolving maritime autonomy market and reinforces its position as a provider of comprehensive, interoperable unmanned systems for air, land, and sea operations. Meeting the Demands of Modern Conflict Red Cat's entry into the maritime domain builds on existing inroads, including a partnership with Ocean Power Technologies to integrate its aerial drones with autonomous maritime platforms. Red Cat's own line of kinetic-capable USVs marks a significant step forward. The decision is a direct response to rising geopolitical tensions and a shift in U.S. defense priorities toward re-asserting American maritime dominance globally. Red Cat is well positioned to deliver American-manufactured solutions that address these urgent operational needs of the U.S. and allied naval forces. 'This is a pivotal moment for Red Cat as we evolve from an aerial-first drone company into a true multi-domain defense provider,' said Jeff Thompson, Red Cat CEO. 'This expansion into maritime platforms opens significant opportunities in a fast-growing and urgently needed defense sector. As the U.S. and its allies confront rising maritime threats, particularly in the Indo-Pacific, there's a clear demand for powerful, proven, and scalable USVs made in America. With these USVs, we're helping to shape the future of autonomous warfare and strengthening the foundation of U.S. defense manufacturing.' Introducing Red Cat's New Line of USVs Red Cat is bringing its line of USVs to market in partnership with a leading global manufacturer of USVs. The system is tested daily in actual combat and designed to operate either autonomously or in manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) configurations. The technology already has 10,000+ hours of operating time in live combat missions. Moving into production will accelerate Red Cat's roadmap for USVs that integrate seamlessly with its existing family of ISR and unmanned aerial systems, supporting multi-domain and swarming operations. 'This system has been used day in and day out in the current conflict, accumulating tens of thousands of hours in real combat operations and achieving dozens of successful kinetic engagements against enemy assets, more than any navy since World War II,' Thompson stated. 'By partnering with a company that has extensive proven experience and is well beyond the proof-of-concept stage, we gain a substantial competitive advantage as we enter this market.' Red Cat is preparing to start production in Q3 of a seven-meter Expeditionary Multi-Role Craft developed to meet the demands of high-speed, long-range, kinetic maritime operations. It is built for larger payloads, extended endurance, and increased firepower. The version has enhanced range, payload capacity, and mission flexibility making it ideal for deep-strike missions, anti-ship warfare, and coastal interdiction in contested zones. Leaders in Ship Building and Marine Innovation Red Cat has assembled an elite team of master boatbuilders, drawing from industry leaders with centuries of collective experience. Renowned for pioneering advanced jet propulsion systems and crafting superior, American-made hulls, our team brings unmatched expertise to every vessel. Boatbuilding at scale demands profound knowledge and precision—qualities our proven professionals deliver with decades of hands-on experience, ensuring excellence in every detail.
