Spirent Communications, now part of Keysight Technologies, announced the availability of Spirent Landslide C100-M6, the next generation of its market-leading validation platform for mobile core networks. Engineered for the increasingly complex and high-volume traffic demands of 5G Standalone (SA) deployments, AI-driven services, and encrypted traffic at operator scale, Landslide M6 provides the increased performance required to validate and accelerate the next phase of network growth. As 5G SA networks grow more complex with service-based architectures, testing labs have struggled to keep pace with new traffic patterns generated by network slicing, encrypted signaling, and AI-driven applications. To help operators meet these challenges, the Landslide platform has evolved with the M6 capable of delivering up to 3x faster activation rates than its predecessor, 10x more encrypted traffic capacity, and, for the first time, the ability to handle TLS acceleration. “The networks our customers are building today look fundamentally different from what they were testing

Roadzen Inc., a global leader in AI at the convergence of insurance and mobility, announced that drivebuddyAI, its driver safety and in-cabin intelligence platform, has been granted a patent in India for an AI-powered in-vehicle facial recognition system. The system enables real-time driver identification — continuously, while the vehicle is in motion — to strengthen fleet safety, operational accountability, and electronic logging device (ELD) compliance. Driver identity is the foundational input for drivebuddyAI's entire intelligence stack. Once the system knows who is behind the wheel, it enables everything that follows: risk profiling and scoring through CARDs (Cognitive Assessment and Risk Driver Scoring), itself the subject of a separate patent; real-time drowsiness and cognitive fatigue detection; dynamic safety alerts calibrated to the driver's preferred language; personalized coaching based on individual behavioral patterns; and automated tracking of driving and duty time for ELD compliance. Unlike traditional key-based identification systems, which are vulnerable to
