The debut marks a milestone in iQmetrix’s global growth strategy and deepens its partnership with TM Forum, following its recent recognition as an ODA Component Directory Partner.

 

 

The Future of Commerce Is Won at the Orchestration Layer

 

 

DTW Ignite 2026’s theme, “The Future. Faster.,” captures the urgency facing communications service providers worldwide. Telcos have spent decades building world-class networks that consumers increasingly take for granted, yet that investment hasn’t translated into loyalty. Loyalty is now earned at the commerce layer: at the moment of discovery, purchase, activation, and support. Meanwhile, decades of accumulated complexity, from disconnected POS systems to fragile activation flows, are blocking the shift from AI-curious to AI-native.

 

 

AI isn’t improving commerce. It’s breaking the model. Journeys are becoming agent-driven and non-linear. CSPs are already selling to customers who arrive with agents that compare, negotiate, and transact on their behalf. The systems behind telecom commerce were not built for this. For years, iQmetrix has been connecting the disconnected: linking telcos, retailers, and OEMs into a single commerce flow across digital and physical channels. That interconnection was the prerequisite. What it enables is the outcome: a system that does not just move transactions through, but orchestrates intelligently. The result is an Intelligent Commerce Operating System, a foundational layer built to orchestrate every experience, for humans and agents alike.

 

 

Catalyst Project: Powering Intelligent Plan Recommendations

 

 

As part of the TM Forum Catalyst initiative, iQmetrix is showcasing ODA PRISM: Recommending the Ultimate Telecom Plan (Phase II) — a project that demonstrates how agentic, standards-based architecture can power intelligent plan recommendations at scale, moving beyond static product catalogues toward dynamic, personalized commerce experiences. Attendees can visit the Catalyst kiosk to see composable, ODA-aligned components working together in a real-world proof of concept.

 

 

The Loft: The Rise of Agentic Commerce

 

 

Jason Raymer, Senior Vice President of Client Experiences at iQmetrix, will take the stage in The Loft (DTW Ignite’s destination for tech demos and disruptor stories) for a session titled “The Rise of Agentic Commerce: Why CSPs Need an Operating System for Phygital Experiences.” The session will cover the evolution from omnichannel to agentic commerce, walk through the architecture of an Intelligent Commerce Operating System, and include a live product demonstration connecting AI-native workflows to real commerce outcomes. The future of commerce, Raymer will argue, will not be won by optimizing channels separately. It will be won by orchestrating the experience between them. The session will take place on Day 2, June 24 at 11 AM.

The global tablet market remained flat in Q1 2026, with shipments rising just 0.1% year on year to reach 37 million units, according to the latest research from Omdia. While tablet shipments declined sequentially, in line with typical seasonal patterns, regional performance was led by Latin America, followed by the Middle East and Africa. However, this growth was largely driven by inventory build-up rather than underlying end-user demand, pointing to a weaker demand outlook.

“Heading into 2026, tablets have been relegated in importance for vendors across margins, volume, and overall value,” said Himani Mukka, Research Manager at Omdia. “In this supply-constrained environment, consumers and vendors alike are being more deliberate about which devices to prioritize. PC vendors are focusing on notebooks and desktops, while those operating across both smartphones and tablets are gravitating toward smartphones due to their outsized contribution to overall business.”

 

“Within the tablet space, vendors’ focus in 2026 will be skewed toward the premium segment, where demand has held up better relative to the mass market,” added Mukka. “The volume tier is more challenged: promotional headroom is limited as there is little room to absorb further price increases, and tablets lack a structural refresh catalyst comparable to the Windows 10 end-of-support cycle in the PC market. The outlook for the second half of 2026 is expected to remain cautious, with volume market segments facing the greatest pressure on both shipment volume and value.”

 

 

“Within the PC segment, Chromebooks are currently the most impacted category, with volumes declining significantly,” said Kieren Jessop, Principal Analyst at Omdia. “Production indicators point to a weak near-term outlook, and education-related deployments are increasingly being deferred until market conditions stabilize. Ongoing supply constraints are also expected to delay the second phase of Japan’s GIGA School Program 2.0. While the first phase – extended from end-2024 through end-2025 – was completed without major disruption, the current supply environment is likely to introduce delays in the next phase.”

A path breaking scientific discovery, unraveling successful wound healing mechanism in urethral stricture with BEES-HAUS cell therapy has been reported by Indo-Japan physician-scientists. This milestone achievement in regenerative medicine, yielding clinical safety and efficacy, is the first of its kind, wherein a hybrid approach of mixing two groups of autologous buccal epithelial cells,one cultured in 2D and another in 3D in Festigel scaffold were used in the management of urethral stricture; paracrine effect of IGF-1 produced by 2D-cultured cells and engraftment of 3D-Festigel cultured cells, which cover the urethrotomy wound, together repairing the urothelial defect, has been published in Frontiers in Urology. This feat though modest, is a global first in terms of both in vitro tissue engineering and clinical benefits by in vivo healing, restoring the urothelial integrity and is a giant leap for its potential of yielding stricture recurrence-free good quality of life to patients with voiding problems, opined the researchers.

Tissue engineering technologies to create organs in the lab such as urethra have been reported. But long-term recurrence free solution for male urethral stricture remains a challenge. Balloon dilatation or DVIU urethrotomy exposes the sub urothelial tissue to urine which triggers inflammation causing spongiofibrosis and stricture recurrence. Covering the urethrotomy wound, to restore the urothelial integrity of stricture inflicted urethra, currently accomplished by BMG-plasty with a sheet of autologous buccal tissue, in BEES-HAUS procedure is managed with cell transplant for short segment strictures. Further simplified one-step cell transplant ‘BHES-HAUS’, that doesn’t require cell culture in a lab, yielding encouraging outcome, has been accepted for an interactive presentation at the American Urological Association meeting, AUA 2026.

 

Inflammatory reaction of urethra provoked by catheterization, instrumentation or infection varies between individuals and some develop urethral stricture. To predict the risks and develop better management strategies, following futuristic research have been initiated:

 

 

1. Artificial intelligence (AI) based scoring system, HAUS SCORE to evaluate inflammatory biomarkers correlating with spongiofibrosis.
2. Tissue friendly, bio-inert BLIS-COAT catheter for those prone to urethral stricture.

 

BEES-HAUS, having been approved in Japan as per Act on Safety of Regenerative Medicine, GN Corporation and Global Niche Corp., USA are open for out-licensing and tech-transfer of BHES-HAUS for clinical translation after approvals worldwide.

Initial planning calls for Data Sciences Division to focus efforts in cyber secure infrastructure with dedication in fintech and patented Information Data Exchange® (IDE®)

 

Management will harness its API Media acquisition, robust patent portfolio, ADIO® Inaudible Tones, WiSA® and Dolby® partnerships to establish worldwide acoustic industry standards in high-definition wireless transmission, spatial-audio control and interoperability

 

Plan includes API media’s stand-alone and renewed execution of WiSA semiconductor and software modules strategy with an R&D effort targeted to new robotic and drone applications

 

Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:DVLT), a pioneering technology licensing company seeking to redefine data valuation, monetization, and secure Web 3.0 experiences, today announced that Company management has commenced its evaluation of a potential dividend spin-out of the Company’s Acoustic Sciences division which includes its ADIO®, WiSA®, Event Citadel™, and API Media operations into a new stand-alone public company, which is proposed to be named “API Media”. The Company has reserved the ticker symbol “ADIO” for the proposed spin-out entity and currently intends that API Media will be listed on NASDAQ following completion of the proposed transactions, which remain subject to approval by the Company’s board of directors, definitive agreement, and satisfaction of closing conditions, as well as any regulatory approvals that may be required in connection therewith.

 

The Company has engaged Houlihan Lokey as its financial advisor and Paul Hastings LLP as its legal advisor in connection with the proposed transaction. The Company has interviewed interested investment banks and will be naming the banking partner after negotiating the best terms for Datavault AI.

 

 

The Company expects the proposed creation of API Media to result in the creation of a dedicated, publicly traded entity focused on acoustic technologies and live events, while enabling Datavault AI to sharpen its focus on its core AI-driven data monetization platforms. It is currently anticipated that, if the proposed transaction were to be approved and completed, Datavault AI shareholders would receive shares of API Media as a dividend, providing them with direct ownership in both Datavault AI and API Media, and unlocking additional value from the Acoustic Sciences division’s growing portfolio patents and its development of new technologies targeted at interoperability and communications in large enterprise and high growth markets.

 

 

“We are excited to unlock the full potential of our Acoustic Sciences division by exploring a potential spin-out as API Media, a stand-alone public company that we anticipate will thrive independently on NASDAQ under the ticker ADIO,” said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. “This proposed dividend spin-out is designed to deliver immediate value to our shareholders while allowing both organizations to pursue their distinct missions with greater focus and agility. We have the utmost confidence in leadership to drive our Acoustic Sciences platform forward as it capitalizes on the booming events marketplace and next-generation acoustic technologies. We’re happy to now be looking at the company through the proper viewpoint of maximization of value for our shareholders. Management believes the Acoustic Division’s focus on creating social interoperable communication between drones, robots, and their human handlers along with building a new standard in audio transmission and spatial audio control is a mission worthy of dedicated valuation, management and governance. The ADIO technology creating private, secure non-invasive advertising, experiential and web 3.0 advertising will also be a tremendous revenue generative capability as proven by our recent successes.

 

 

Bradley went on to say, “We believe, the Data Sciences Division, and DVLT are extremely special in that it rivals NYSE and OKX in a transaction valued at approximately $25 billion. We enjoy the freedom to operate on patented capabilities with a cybersecure and compliant trading platform that will be upon its launch, second to none. The additional advantage of our planning for our spin out of our Acoustic Division is that our solid focus on creating the greatest tokenization platform on the planet in our Data Division is unleashed in this move. We are genuinely excited about what comes next at Datavault AI regarding both our exceptional divisions. API Media’s culture of excellence, superior customer focused quality, and their winning ways will always endure in the company now and in both companies into the future.”

 

 

Targeted Timeline

 

 

Datavault AI’s Board of Directors has directed management to begin the planning process with a targeted completion date to coincide with close of its 2026 operations. This target is subject to many factors and regulatory compliance approvals from multiple organizations that may require a longer duration to complete. These factors are the focal point of management’s planning and subsequent execution with aim of concluding all necessary components of the transaction on or before the conclusion of 2026 operations with our partners.

 

 

Valuation

 

 

Datavault AI has selected partners Houlihan Lokey and with long tenures and respect in the fields of securities and public market valuation, management believes the current market capitalization doesn’t reflect the independent value of each of the divisions of the company. The planning for the spin-off of the Acoustic Division contemplates a value proposition and the Data Division presents another. Both require licensing and operational compliance that makes the separation both economical and advantageous for both divisions of the company.

 

 

Acoustic Division Delivers Proven Sound Technology at Top Events: The Acoustic Division has successfully completed technology delivery for technology, network, sound and audio systems at the Kentucky Derby this past weekend. The team is now on site for the deployment at the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club. These milestones build on the division’s established work with major sports and entertainment venues. Key highlights include the deployment of WiSA®, ADIO®, and Sumerian® wireless audio technologies that deliver clear, high-definition sound to large audiences without the need for complex wiring. This practical technology improves the experience for fans at live events and venues.

 

 

Data Division Achieves Tangible Milestones in Data Solutions: The Data Division continues to make steady progress in helping organizations understand, protect, and earn value from their data. Key highlights include signing $750 million in tokenization contracts in Q1 2026, generating approximately $77 million in associated fees — building toward the Company’s full-year 2026 revenue guidance of at least $200 million — and the rollout of secure edge computing infrastructure in major cities. The division also supports real-world applications such as credential verification, digital asset tracking, and secure data partnerships across sports, entertainment, finance, and other industries. These efforts are backed by completed projects and partnerships that turn data into practical business value and liquidity.

Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation: the risk that the Company’s board of directors may ultimately determine not to proceed with the proposed transaction; the failure to negotiate, finalize, and execute a definitive transaction agreement; the inability to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the proposed transaction on the anticipated schedule or at all; the failure to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals, clearances, or NASDAQ listing approval for the new entity; the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed in a manner that achieves the intended tax treatment; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the spin-out, including the expected unlocking of value and enhanced strategic focus, will not be realized; the potential diversion of management’s attention and resources from the Company’s ongoing business operations; the costs and expenses associated with evaluating and executing the proposed transaction; risks related to the Company’s ability to select and engage an investment banking partner for the proposed transaction on commercially acceptable terms; risks that the current market capitalization may not reflect the independent value of the Company’s divisions during the evaluation period; competitive risk in the AI infrastructure and high-performance computing markets; changes in economic, market, or regulatory conditions, including evolving regulatory frameworks applicable to securities offerings, AI infrastructure, and digital assets; risks associated with technological development and integration; and other risks and uncertainties as more fully described in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other filings the Company makes from time to time with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Industry and Market Data

 

 

Within this press release, we reference information and statistics regarding the market for our products and the markets in which we operate. We have obtained some of this information and statistics from various independent third-party sources, including independent industry publications, reports by market research firms, and other independent sources. Some data and other information contained in this press release are also based on management’s estimates and calculations, which are derived from our review and interpretation of internal surveys and independent sources. Data regarding the industries in which we compete and our market position and market share within these industries are inherently imprecise and are subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties beyond our control, but we believe they generally indicate size, position, and market share within this industry. While we believe such information is reliable, we have not independently verified any third-party information. While we believe our internal company research and estimates are reliable, such research and estimates have not been verified by any independent source. In addition, assumptions and estimates of our and our industries’ future performance are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. These and other factors could cause our future performance to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates. As a result, you should be aware that market, ranking, and other similar industry data included in this press release, and estimates and beliefs based on that data, may not be reliable.
