Marking its fifth consecutive appearance at the expo, Elecard plans to highlight its commitment to innovation and industry leadership through live demonstrations of its flagship technologies. Among the featured solutions is Elecard Boro, a client-server platform designed to monitor and measure the Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) for streaming protocols such as UDP, RTP, HTTP, HLS, MPEG-DASH and SRT. The system facilitates real-time content delivery monitoring, fault detection and localisation, automatic notifications and comprehensive reporting. Elecard Boro serves a broad range of applications, including OTT TV, IPTV, DVB, VoD, CDN monitoring, advertisement insertion control and SRT streaming in television studios. Also on display will be Elecard CodecWorks, a live transcoder, multiplexer, and gateway for professional-grade video encoding and streaming. Supporting codecs like HEVC/H.265, AVC/H.264 and MPEG-2, it enables adaptive bitrate streaming over HLS and MPEG-DASH to ensure high-quality delivery. Four high-profile use cases from an international sports event in the MENA region will illustrate the solution's capabilities. These include UHD video transmission with HDR to 5,000 devices with low latency, SDI channel creation with multi-track audio, multicast delivery over unreliable UDP networks with FEC-based redundancy, and IPTV quality monitoring across 40 remote sites using Elecard Boro. The deployment of these solutions resulted in the establishment of a broadcasting infrastructure capable of 24/7 operation, real-time graphic overlay capabilities and comprehensive signal redundancy using a 1+1 scheme. Elecard also provided on-site technical support and training to ensure uninterrupted service and optimal performance. Elecard played a pivotal role in a major international sports competition in the MENA region, delivering four advanced broadcasting solutions. In the first case, Elecard CodecWorks enabled UHD video delivery with HDR and 10-bit coding to 5,000 devices with just 1,000 ms latency, using SDI-to-IP encoding on a Supermicro-Nvidia platform. The second case involved creating eight SDI TV channels with support for multiple audio tracks, live and pre-recorded content, and real-time signal processing using a custom CodecWorks-based system. The third solution tackled multicast delivery to 40 remote sites over UDP networks prone to packet loss. Elecard implemented FEC-based redundancy and dual transmission paths to ensure stable streaming with under 20 ms latency. In the fourth deployment, Elecard Boro monitored IPTV broadcasts at 40 remote venues, collecting quality metrics across 1,000 channels using a centrally managed CDN monitoring system. These implementations ensured 24/7 uninterrupted broadcasting, advanced graphic overlay capabilities, comprehensive staff support and full signal redundancy with a 1+1 backup scheme. Stand S1D35

IMF optimism, easing tension lift PSX
Foreign funds would divert their liquidity into buying Pakistan's stocks. This would merely increases prices of shares and be profitable for those who already hold stocks. PHOTO: FILE Listen to article Stocks rallied on Tuesday at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), reversing early losses to close significantly higher amid renewed investor optimism. The positive momentum was driven by reports of an upcoming IMF Executive Board meeting to discuss critical loan disbursements, alongside easing regional tensions and anticipated policy support. Ahsan Mehanti of Arif Habib Corp remarked that stocks turned bullish following reports that the IMF Executive Board will meet on May 9 to discuss the Staff Level Agreement (SLA) for the new $1.3 billion Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), as well as the first review of the US$7 billion External Fund Facility (EFF) for approval of a US$1 billion disbursement. He added that easing political noise, alongside the US, China, and Turkey's urge to exercise restraint over Pak-India tensions, and expectations of policy easing, played a catalyst role in the bullish close at the PSX. At the close of trading, the benchmark KSE-100 index recorded an increase of 808.28 points, or 0.71%, and settled at 114,872.18. In its market review, Topline Securities reported that the benchmark KSE-100 index saw significant ups and downs during today's session. It dropped sharply by 1,128 points early in the day due to selling pressure, especially from leveraged investors. However, the market showed a strong recovery in the second half, ending the session at 114,872 points. Market sentiment improved as margin-related selling eased and investors began to buy quality stocks at lower levels, added Topline. It added that the recovery was mainly supported by key stocks like Engro Holdings, Mari Petroleum, Systems Limited, MCB Bank, and Sui Northern Gas Pipelines. These names alone contributed around 760 points to the overall index gains, showing their strong impact on market movement. Investor activity remained healthy, with a total of 408 million shares traded and a market turnover of Rs29 billion, mentioned the brokerage. In its commentary, Arif Habib Limited (AHL) stated that the market bounced once it surpassed 13,700 points, to gain 0.71% day-on-day. Some 60 shares rose while 34 fell, with Engro Holdings (+6.08%), Mari Petroleum (+3.82%) and Systems Limited (+3.7%) contributing the most to index gains. On the flip side, Lucky Cement (-2.71%), UBL (-1.07%) and Pakistan Petroleum Limited (-1.97%) were the biggest index drags, it observed. Pakistan Petroleum Limited (-1.97%) announced 9MFY25 earnings per share (EPS) of Rs26.72, representing a 25% year-on-year (YoY) decrease and DPS of Rs5.0, coming in below expectations. The Hub Power Company (-0.54%) also announced 9MFY25 EPS of Rs26.4, a 31% decrease YoY and DPS of Rs5.0 (already paid). No payout was a surprise in 3Q, remarked AHL. Air Link Communication Limited and Pakistan State Oil (PSO) also announced 9MFY25 financial results, with Air Link's 9MFY25 EPS Rs7.32, a 6% YoY decrease, below expectations. PSO's 9MFY25 EPS amounted to Rs32.52, an increase of 14% YoY, slightly below expectations, noted the brokerage. It added that upward moves continue to be seen as a counter-trend, with a prevailing bias to the downside. JS Global analyst Muhammad Hasan Ather noted that the KSE-100 Index staged a strong recovery by the close. The market initially fell over 700 points due to profit-taking and cautious investor sentiment but rebounded sharply on value-buying in key heavyweight sectors. Overall trading volumes decreased to 409.9 million shares compared with Monday's tally of 423.9 million. Shares of 445 companies were traded. Of these, 211 stocks closed higher, 183 fell and 51 remained unchanged. WorldCall Telecom was the volume leader with trading in 29.5 million shares, remaining stable to close at Rs1.26. It was followed by Cnergyico PK with trading in 14.8 million shares, gaining Rs0.27 to close at Rs7.81, and At-Tahur Limited with 14.8 million shares, falling Rs7.09 to close at Rs70.98. During the day, foreign investors sold shares worth Rs506.4 million, the National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited (NCCPL) reported.

BodeEV Install & Service Inc. Launches with New Level of Standard Transforming the EV Charging Industry at EV Charging Summit and Expo
LAS VEGAS, March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new and transformational solution designed to enable electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure 'to work' was unveiled today at the EV Charging Summit and Expo. The launch of a new industry player, BodeEV Install & Service Inc. is a U.S.-based electric vehicle (EV) installation, operation and maintenance (O&M) company that promises to set a new level of standard for the industry by focusing exclusively on a fast, cost-efficient, and long-lasting solution for EV charger deployment and repair. Under the leadership of CEO, Brendan O'Donnell, a veteran EV innovator and entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in EV infrastructure, BodeEV is tackling some of the sector's biggest pain points: slow or unresponsive EV charging builds and a growing number of broken and neglected EV chargers across the country. 'We are offering flexible, cost-efficient, and affordable EV charging service and technology solutions,' said Brendan O'Donnell, CEO of BodeEV. 'Whether it's upgrading existing infrastructure, integrating new innovations, or tackling unique challenges—if it can be imagined, we'll find a way to make it happen.

"Right now, EV drivers worry whether a charger will even work when they drive electric," O'Donnell added. "If a station is unreliable, they won't return. That's unacceptable for businesses investing in EV infrastructure. We're here to guarantee dependability and confidence." Strategic Partnership with Autel Energy To bring best-in-class chargers and service to market, BodeEV is partnering with several EV charging innovators. Autel Energy North America, the leader in intelligent EV charging hardware is the first to partner with BodeEV.

Making EV Charging Work for the Future BodeEV is also investing in its own operational technology and workforce, ensuring flexible solutions that evolve alongside charging infrastructure needs. The company's Amazon Web Services (AWS)-based app developed by BodeEV's CTO, Aleks Hansson, brings to life BodeEV's vision of 'One Map, One App, One Tap.' The platform will make public EV charging 'just work' by providing: A centralized mapping system to connect drivers with working, reliable chargers. A seamless app experience linking site owners to maintenance teams. A one-tap solution for property owners to pay for charging and request immediate service if necessary. A Call to Action for Cities, Businesses, and EV Charging Site Owners With billions in federal and state funding alongside private investments already allocated for EV infrastructure, delays in charger deployment and maintenance pose a serious risk to industry growth. BodeEV is calling on the industry, from municipalities, property managers, and businesses to take action—ensuring their infrastructure investments actually serve EV drivers and support the electrification of transportation. "If the infrastructure doesn't work, the entire system fails," said O'Donnell. "We're here to guarantee it works—no excuses, no months-long delays.
