  • Telit Cinterion is partnering with Airfide Networks to integrate its data card with sensing technologies.  
  • Boston Micro Fabrication announced a new series of compact 3D printers that it said can be used in a variety of additive manufacturing settings.  
  • Xona Systems launched software that can help organizations stop threats during live remote access sessions in OT environments. 

Editor’s note: Smart Industry New Product Roundups are digests of manufacturing technology offerings recently brought to market.

Telit Cinterion, Boston Micro Fabrication and Xona Systems announced partnerships prioritizing data integration, a new 3D printing series, and a system to shorten response times to threat actors.


Telit Cinterion, an end-to-end IOT enabler, announced a partnership with IoT sensor provider Airfide Networks to integrate sensing technologies into platforms powered by Telit Cinterion’s FN990B40 5G data card. 

The 5G sub-6 data card features 5G New Radio with Long-Term Evolution and supports Wideband Code Division Multiple Access and an integrated Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). According to Telit Cinterion, it delivers scalable broadband connectivity and is designed for repeater applications.

Airfide integrates ultra-wideband (UWB) fine ranging and 60 gigahertz millimeter-wave radar into 5G-powered gateways and repeaters. It also brings these capabilities to customer premises equipment.  

Airfide’s FiRa-compliant UWB technology enables indoor positioning for warehouses and enterprise campuses. It is integrated into FN990B40-powered platforms, allowing OEMs to build geofencing and asset tracking capabilities directly into 5G infrastructure. The result reduces system complexity and accelerates deployment, according to the companies.  


Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) a micro-precision 3D printing machine company, announced its microArch S150 Series, a line of compact 3D printers that aims to enable faster build cycles, streamlined workflows and micro-precision capabilities.  

The series introduces two advanced systems: the microArch S150 Ultra, a system designed for fast production workflows, and the microArch S150, which BMF said is designed for lab development and prototyping.

The S150 Series can be used in additive manufacturing across applications that include microfluidics, fiber optics, biomedical devices, electronics and advanced research, according to the company.  

The series has an automated setup that eliminates manual calibration and has reloaded printing parameters and an integrated touchscreen workflow, according to BMF.


Xona Systems, the secure remote access platform for critical infrastructure, announced Active Defense, a capability that can help organizations to stop threats during live remote access sessions in OT environments without manual intervention.  

The system integrates OT asset visibility and vulnerability platforms, connecting OT detection signals directly to session-level enforcement through the Xona Secure Remote Access platform.

The system also supports correlation-driven escalation, allowing multiple lower-severity events to combine into higher-severity enforcement decisions. Organizations can apply proportional responses to suspicious activity while reducing the likelihood of false positives, according to Xona.
