Modeshift Honored with Two Gold Award Wins by 2025 Stevie® Awards for Technology Excellence
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Modeshift has been named the winner of two Gold Stevie® Awards in the 'Company of the Year' and 'Technical Innovation of the Year' categories in the second annual Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence. 'Modeshift's mission-driven expansion, support-first philosophy and impact on digital equity position it as not just a technology provider but a strategic transit partner for underserved communities worldwide.' The Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence recognize the remarkable achievements of individuals, teams and organizations that are shaping the future of technology across all industry sectors. More than 1,500 nominations from organizations of all sizes in 36 nations and territories were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of tech-related categories. Modeshift's first-place wins in two categories underscore the company's momentum and unique value proposition in the transit technology sector. Judges were particularly impressed by the speed and scale of recent deployments, the company's focus on flexibility and accessibility for small and midsize transit systems and its commitment to digital equity. Their comments offer a glimpse into why Modeshift stood out among a competitive field of global nominees: 'Company of the Year' Gold Stevie Award: 'Modeshift clearly found its niche and delivered real value where it's often overlooked, rural and midsize transit systems. Their flexible, non-intrusive tech model is refreshing in an industry dominated by heavyweight vendors pushing one-size-fits-all systems.' 'The company's ability to balance innovation with accessibility makes it a standout in a field typically geared toward urban megasystems. From enabling small towns in Pennsylvania to deploy mobile ticketing without the burden of infrastructure overhauls, to launching a city-wide rollout in Skopje, the versatility of the platform is clearly demonstrated.' 'Modeshift's mission-driven expansion, support-first philosophy and impact on digital equity position it as not just a technology provider but a strategic transit partner for underserved communities worldwide.' 'Technical Innovation of the Year' Gold Stevie Award: Modeshift earned this recognition for its transformative work in Skopje, North Macedonia, which was one of the company's most complex implementations to date. The team delivered a full-scale upgrade from outdated fare collection infrastructure to a modern, account-based system in just three months. The project brought mobile ticketing, contactless payment options, real-time analytics and a unified backend platform to transit users without interrupting service. Judges praised the rollout's speed, scale and seamless execution: 'The transition from a 15-year-old legacy system to a fully integrated account-based platform in just three months is a remarkable feat, especially given the seamless migration of 600,000 user accounts without service disruption. The breadth of the solution—including mobile ticketing, cloud-based analytics, smart validators and multiple payment options—shows a holistic and scalable innovation.' 'Deploying a full scale fare collection system without disrupting existing public transit infrastructure in such a short time is genius.' More than 160 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year's honorees. Winners of the awards, named the Stevies from the Greek word meaning 'crowned,' will be recognized during a gala awards event on Tuesday, September 16 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. 'Modeshift's award wins validate that agencies of all sizes deserve—and now have—access to modern, flexible fare collection technology,' said Miroslav Katsarov, CEO of Modeshift. 'Our team built a platform that adapts to each agency's needs without long, expensive deployments, and this recognition for our work proves what's possible when speed, scalability and real-world usability come first. Transit systems shouldn't have to choose between innovation and practicality. We believe they should have both.'

ATLAS Space Operations Enhances Global Ground Station Network and Support for COSMIC-2 with Addition of a New Antenna in Rwanda
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ATLAS Space Operations, a leading provider of Ground Station as a Service, today announced the activation of its newest antenna in Mwulire, Rwanda, a strategic addition to its global ground network. The expansion significantly enhances COSMIC-2's ability to collect and provide critical data to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for global weather and space weather monitoring. The Rwanda ground station receives data from six COSMIC-2 satellites, which continuously measure the Earth's atmosphere and ionosphere using radio occultation. The data collected by these spacecraft are crucial for accurate weather and space weather forecasting. Due to the dynamic nature of the atmosphere and ionosphere, rapid delivery of data to NOAA is paramount. ATLAS maintains a stringent requirement to deliver this data from its ground stations to NOAA in under 60 seconds. This new site in Rwanda adds significant robustness to the ATLAS ground network, complementing existing ground stations in Ghana and Tahiti, also supporting the COSMIC-2 mission. Rwanda's unique geographic location offers an ideal number of contacts with the COSMIC-2 constellation, making it an exceptionally strategic asset for data reception. The addition of this site was requested by NOAA when it became available and ATLAS was able to offer this location through its strong partnership with the Rwanda Space Agency. 'The activation of our new antenna in Rwanda is a testament to the strength of our partnership with the Rwanda Space Agency and commitment to growing our network to best serve our customers,' said Corey Geer, Chief Executive Officer at ATLAS Space Operations. 'This strategic addition significantly enhances our ability to deliver critical COSMIC-2 data, ensuring that NOAA receives the vital information they need for accurate and timely atmospheric and ionospheric monitoring.' ATLAS currently handles 3,000+ satellite contacts per month across its network. Since July 2019, as of May 31, 2025, ATLAS has successfully handled 156,653 contacts from NOAA satellites, maintaining a ground station availability of 99.36%. Furthermore, data has been delivered on average in under 40 seconds across all contacts, demonstrating ATLAS's commitment to efficiency and reliability. About ATLAS Space Operations, Inc.
