Axi Launches MCP Integration Connecting MT5 Accounts to Claude

SYDNEY, Oct 15 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As artificial intelligence continues to reshape how people interact with technology, the online trading industry is entering a new phase in the evolution of trading tools. From analysing information to managing increasingly complex workflows, AI-powered applications are opening up new possibilities for traders looking to bring greater efficiency and accessibility to their trading experience.

Against this backdrop, Axi, a global online trading broker, has announced the launch of its Axi MCP integration, connecting eligible MT5 accounts to Claude, the AI assistant developed by Anthropic. The integration brings AI-powered interaction directly into the trading environment, allowing eligible clients to access live market data, track positions, execute trades and update risk parameters through Claude.

CHERY’S LEPAS TO UNVEIL CONCEPT CAR, DESIGN LANGUAGE

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 (Bernama) -- Chery Auto’s premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand LEPAS will hold the world premiere of its LEPAS Concept Car and unveil the Next-Generation Leopard Aesthetics design language at its first Global Elegant Lifestyle Week.

The event, themed “TOGETHER IN ELEGANCE”, runs from Oct 18 to 24 during the 2026 Chery International User Summit, bringing together the brand’s first vehicle owners worldwide, partners and industry media, according to a statement.

It comes as LEPAS’s NEVs reach their first owners in global markets this year. The company said the programme will centre on driving, technology, design and lifestyle.

According to LEPAS, the new design language explores sculpted lines and light, as well as future interactions between people and vehicles. User feedback from around the world continues to shape its design approach.

The LEPAS L6 EV will also set off on the brand’s first Global Journey of Elegant Driving, a route covering city streets, intercity highways and winding mountain roads. Media and user representatives will assess the car’s handling, comfort, range and intelligent technologies along the way.

Participants will be able to test drive the LEPAS L4, L6 and L8 models in real-world conditions. The test drives include demonstrations of Automated Parking Assist (APA), Remote Parking Assist (RPA) and Super Intelligent Valet Parking (SIVP), with SIVP available only on the L8.

LEPAS aims to integrate such technology into everyday driving so that advanced features feel effortless to use, rather than drawing attention to the technology itself.

The event will also include a Global Elegance Promenade, where owners will share cultural stories and interactive experiences from their home cities. Participants will be named “Global Elegant Lifestyle Partners” of the brand.

LEPAS said further details of the event would be announced later.

NETBOX LABS SIGNS NVIDIA, GRAFANA LABS PARTNERSHIPS

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 (Bernama) -- NetBox Labs, which develops the network and data centre management software NetBox, has announced partnerships with NVIDIA and Grafana Labs, along with new platform capabilities, at its first NetBox Evolve conference.

“Today NetBox is used by companies like Arm, CoreWeave, Kaiser Permanente and JPMorgan Chase to build, run and grow their networks and infrastructure.

“We are seeing tremendous growth, with more than 90 per cent of the top neoclouds using NetBox to design and scale their AI data centres, and we expect NetBox to power more than 100 GW of AI data centre capacity by 2030,” said NetBox Labs chief executive officer and co-founder, Kris Beevers in a statement.

Under the NVIDIA partnership, NetBox is now a native source of truth for NVIDIA Configuration Manager (NVCM), the network orchestration component of NVIDIA DSX OS. It provides the data that drives automated configuration across NVIDIA-native cluster fabrics.

NetBox Labs and Grafana Labs have also released a free, open-source NetBox plugin in the Grafana catalogue. The plugin brings live infrastructure details, such as site, role, tenant, rack, owner and lifecycle, into Grafana dashboards and alerts. According to the companies, it requires no pipeline changes, avoids stale labels and adds no metric cost.

Separately, NetBox Labs’ open-source Orb platform now supplies network flow and packet telemetry to Grafana Cloud users.

NetBox Labs has also expanded its Infrastructure Intelligence Platform. NetBox Designs, now in public preview, provides reusable templates for designing sites, racks and IP plans for large-scale deployments.

NetBox Agents adds pre-built AI agents for tasks including change request review, compliance and data quality management, also in public preview. A fully managed NetBox Platform MCP Server, now generally available, lets customers’ own AI agents query and change infrastructure in plain language.

NetBox Analytics, which has added new ready-made dashboards, and NetBox Visual Explorer will become generally available in November.

TOSHIBA LAUNCHES FOUR EFUSE ICS FOR LOW-VOLTAGE POWER PROTECTION

Toshiba: TCKE5 Series of small-package eFuse ICs supporting 1.7V low-voltage operation.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba), a supplier of advanced semiconductor and storage solutions, has launched four electronic fuses (eFuse ICs) under its TCKE5 Series, integrating multiple functions to protect power supply lines.

The new products operate over an input voltage range of 1.7 volts (V) to 5.5V and are housed in the compact SOT-353F (UFV) package. The lineup comprises four models: “TCKE501UA”, “TCKE501UL”, “TCKE502UA” and “TCKE502UL.” Shipments began on Oct 12.

According to Toshiba in a statement, the TCKE5 Series is the first in its eFuse IC lineup to support 1.8V power lines, making it suitable for low-voltage applications, including Secure Digital (SD) memory cards.

As electronic devices become smaller, more functional, and less power-intensive, demand for low-voltage power supplies has increased. Protection against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions is also essential to improve the reliability of low-voltage power lines.

The series comes in a compact, low-profile package that reduces printed circuit board (PCB) mounting area, supporting space-saving, high-density designs for wearable and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Alongside the short-circuit protection offered by physical fuses, such as glass tube and chip current fuses, the TCKE5 Series features overcurrent protection that shuts off output when excessive current is detected.

The overcurrent protection function also includes a mask time to help prevent unnecessary shutdowns caused by transient peak currents, thus protecting downstream circuits and improving system safety and reliability.

The lineup includes auto-retry models, which automatically restore circuit operation, and latch-type models, which require an external signal to recover. Different slew-rate settings are also available to meet power sequencing requirements.

Toshiba said it would continue expanding its eFuse IC lineup to support a wider range of equipment.

Vantiva's First 50G PON Device Now Commercially Available

 

The compact, wall-mountable FXA701Z delivers multi-gigabit fiber for homes, businesses and enterprises


PARIS, Oct 13 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Press Release 

PARIS – October 13, 2026 – Vantiva (Euronext Paris: VANTI), a global technology leader in connected home solutions, today unveiled the FXA701Z, its flagship 50G PON optical network terminal (ONT). 50G PON ONTs are only beginning to emerge globally, and the FXA701Z is among the first commercially ready devices on the market, extending Vantiva’s proven broadband leadership into the next era of ultra-high-capacity fiber access.

Compliant with the ITU-T G.9804 50G PON standard, the FXA701Z supports fully symmetrical operation. A built-in XGS-PON port lets operators install it on current 10G networks today and move customers seamlessly to the 50G tier later on the same device, protecting existing fiber investments. Symmetrical multi-gigabit throughput powers demanding applications such as 8K streaming, immersive AR/VR, and distributed AI workloads, while also suiting mobile backhaul for base stations.

The FXA701Z runs an operator-grade software stack with full OMCI support, so operators can manage and diagnose it through the standard tools already used across their PON networks. Its compact format minimizes material use per unit, supports both tabletop and wall-mount placement, and uses top and bottom covers made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) ABS plastic to support service providers' environmental targets.

Vantiva Senior Director of Product Management Barry Weber said, "Homes and businesses now send far larger volumes of data upstream, through video calls, cloud backups and AI tools. The FXA701Z gives operators the upstream capacity to keep pace as traffic grows."

"Each generation of PON raises the bar for what operators can promise their customers, and our role is to have the right equipment ready before demand peaks," said Ashwani Saigal, Vantiva Chief Product & Engineering Officer. "The FXA701Z puts us in that position for 50G, and it opens a fiber roadmap we will keep building on with our operator partners."

Operators can visit Vantiva’s booth at Network X Hall B Stand G5 in Vienna, Austria, October 13-15 to learn more.
