Speedcast unveils next-generation SIGMA platform
SIGMAs intelligent edge system and cloud-native SaaS orchestration platform provide the foundation for supporting customers digital transformation requirements. Speedcast has announced the latest-generation release of its SIGMA intelligent edge network management solution. The recent enhancements include a new architecture, evolving the SIGMA platform to address the modern-day challenges of visibility, control, compliance, and security required to manage distributed edge environments. The new base operating system and cloud-native orchestration platform are tailored for virtualised deployments and updates and policy-driven configuration throughout the entire lifecycle, aimed at addressing a critical need to automate at scale and enable streamlined, seamless rollouts to tens of thousands of edge devices. As the leading, global, tier-one reseller of Starlink, along with being a Eutelsat OneWeb distribution partner, Speedcast sees growing demand to integrate LEO service offerings with its SIGMA platform, providing a fully managed and future-proof solution for remote connectivity. SIGMA supports a wide array of services, including Starlink, OneWeb, and other emerging constellations, alongside traditional connectivity options, and operationalises multi-vendor enterprise SD-WAN and a range of other industry applications through highly flexible and automated edge deployment and marketplace. Dee Schwalb, Chief Product Officer at Speedcast, said: 'SIGMA has long been a customer favorite and a hero product for Speedcast. Our unique position supporting customers remote operations has provided invaluable insights into their diverse needs and challenges, which weve directly translated into these latest platform enhancements. This release fully modernises and evolves SIGMA's architecture to extend customers cloud experience to the edge, while enabling central management and orchestration of distributed edge infrastructure and applications.' The latest SIGMA release enhances remote site visibility and control with smaller routing functions, expands hardware diversity while reducing costs, and drives greater automation for deployment and updates, which is essential for managing the growth of edge devices. SIGMA brings together secure network connectivity, advanced firewall protection and strong hardware-based security, such as measured boot to ensure systems start safely, Zero Trust role-based access controls to ensure only authorized users can make changes, data encryption, and even disabling unused physical ports on devices, helping to prevent tampering or unauthorised access. The enhanced SIGMA platform also offers a key building block to addressing the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) latest Unified Requirements intended to ensure that new ships are constructed with cybersecurity considerations from the outset. The new IACS E26 and E27 requirements focus on the entirety of the vessel and the Computer Based Systems onboard in terms of how those systems should be protected. SIGMAs SASE cloud-native technology provides added network security and ensures the new design, configuration, deployment and lifecycle of applications meets these more challenging new standards for fleet owners and operators. Schwalb continued: 'The new architecture provides the backbone for our SIGMA marketplace, offering managed containerized or virtual machine deployments of applications that customers can leverage for their digital operations. Starting with our crew experience and internet café applications, well be expanding the marketplace offerings in areas such as computer vision and video streaming, enhanced cybersecurity capabilities, and customer-selected VMs. This is the beginning of an era where customers can effortlessly add, manage and deploy complex solution sets securely throughout application lifecycles.' Earlier this year, Speedcast announced a patent grant by the US Patent and Trademark Office for technologies that the company has developed to overlay on the SIGMA platform. Speedcasts intellectual property software will enable the company to deliver an intelligent network solution through a combination of proprietary algorithms, machine learning and automated analysis that dramatically improves the connectivity experience for customers. Speedcast will debut the enhanced, next-generation SIGMA platform at upcoming industry trade show events. At Nor-Shipping 2025, held June 2-6 in Oslo, Norway, the team will host a celebration event at the Speedcast stand #B05-33 on Tuesday, June 3 at 3:00 p.m. Speedcast technical and commercial experts will be on site, providing demonstrations of the platform. Additionally, Speedcast, in partnership with leading software company ZEDEDA, will be discussing how the upgraded architecture brings the power of edge intelligence to maritime operations during a session on Future-Proofing Your Fleet as part of the Digital Ship Forum at Nor-Shipping. The session takes place Wednesday, June 4 at 12:15 p.m. in the Thon Hotel Arena.

Al-Mashat Interview Panel for "Women Lead for Executives" Program at NTA
Israa Farhan Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation, chaired one of the interview panels on Thursday for applicants to the 'Women Lead for Executives' program, organized by the National Training Academy (NTA) in partnership with the Ministry. This initiative is part of national efforts to qualify women for leadership roles and promote their economic, social, and political empowerment. Dr. Al-Mashat emphasized the importance of the 'Women Lead for Executives' program, which is one of the distinguished training programs provided by the NTA in cooperation with the Ministry of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation. The program targets women in executive positions across various institutions, ranging in age from 22 to 50. She noted that with every round of interviews, she witnesses the advancement in the caliber of applicants and their eagerness to acquire the skills that will enable them to contribute to the prosperity and progress of our beloved nation. The Minister noted that Egyptian women have received significant attention under the leadership of H.E. President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, President of the Republic. This has been reflected in the launch of the National Strategy for the Empowerment of Egyptian Women 2030 and the measures that have enabled women to hold leadership positions that were previously inaccessible. She added that empowering women economically, socially, and politically does not only benefit women themselves, but yields positive results across all aspects of life in Egypt. She further explained that women's empowerment is a key component of the state's efforts to invest in human capital and develop the skills of young men and women, enhancing their ability to assume leadership positions. The state is working to integrate gender equality and women's economic and social empowerment across all development plans. As such, women's empowerment has become a core component of the economic and social development plan, as well as various strategies and programs being implemented in cooperation with bilateral and multilateral development partners. Dr. Al-Mashat added: 'Empowering women economically, socially, and politically is a significant responsibility. Women are required to constantly prove their competence and capability to hold such positions. In addition, they bear a major responsibility in encouraging more women and girls to enter various fields of work, thereby increasing women's participation in the labor market.' Dr. Rasha Ragheb, Executive Director of the NTA, welcomed Dr. Rania Al-Mashat upon her arrival at the Academy headquarters in Giza Governorate. Dr. Al-Mashat and Dr. Ragheb toured the training sessions taking place under the Support for Improvement in Governance and Management (SIGMA) program. This program is part of the effective partnership between the NTA, the Ministry of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation, the European Union, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The Minister took the opportunity to motivate the participants in the program, stressing the importance of the partnership between Egypt and the OECD. This partnership has resulted in the implementation of several programs that contribute to strengthening governance mechanisms and supporting development efforts in Egypt. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Local photographer has over $10k worth of equipment stolen
CLEARFIELD COUNTY (WTAJ) – Walk the Line Photography has to start from scratch, after owner Levi Walk went out of his house to find his truck broken into and a large amount of his equipment stolen. Orange Oakley sunglasses, value $150 Sony A7 R4 camera, value $3,498 Sony A7 3 camera body, value $1,800 Sony 85mm lens, value $500 Sony 35mm lens 1.4, value $1,300 Sony 24-70mm SIGMA lens, value $1,200 MISC camera filters, value $500 GODEX camera light, value $50 SD card, value $30 Black and gray LOWEPRO camera bag, value $200 Walk says it's not so much the equipment he's worried about, it's the SD cards which had multiple graduation photo sessions saved on them. 'It's always been more about the client, and you know, making sure that they have fun, and you know, celebrate milestones,' Walk said. 'We do weddings and graduations and all that stuff, and that was on those SD cards. Like, that's really what we're worried about.' Walk posted to Facebook after the theft happened explaining the situation, but what he didn't expect was his post to reach so many people. 'I just try to be involved in my community in the hopes that someday when something like this happens, you know, hopefully, you trust that they'll be there for you and that, you know, I was thinking maybe 20, 30 shares on Facebook or something like that and it turned it out to blow up,' Walk said. Although this was a devastating blow to Walk and his business, he said the community's support to help him get back on his feet has eased the pain. His sister started a GoFundMe to try to help ease the financial burden he is facing, which has helped him see the good in a bad situation. 'The real silver lining to come out of everything though, is the fact that the community has just been so, so helpful, so supportive,' Walk said. Anyone with any information should reach out to the Clearfield County State Police. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
