VITURE Starts 2026 Strong with Another $100M Raise, Surpassing $200M in Six Months

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following its $100 million raise last September, VITURE has officially closed another $100 million financing round, bringing total capital raised within six months to over $200 million.

The latest round is led by Legend Capital, the investment arm affiliated with Lenovo, alongside a group of prominent strategic investors from the global technology ecosystem, including several prestigious investors from the previous round, such as Bertelsmann Group.

This new infusion of capital further strengthens investor confidence in VITURE’s leadership position within XR and AR hardware innovation, reinforcing strong momentum heading into 2026.

A Breakout Year for XR

2025 marked a defining year for VITURE’s evolution from a fast-growing startup into a dominant player in the XR industry.

In the second half of the year alone, VITURE launched its third-generation lineup — the Luma Series, representing its first major step into true AR experiences with Luma Ultra, alongside significant XR performance advances with its flagship model, The Beast.

The company also expanded retail presence across North America, including in-store placements at Best Buy with a first-of-its-kind walk-up XR demo experience.

According to IDC’s most recent quarterly reports, VITURE once again ranked #1 in XR glasses shipments in the United States, capturing the majority share of the extended-display category.

The long-awaited launch of The Beast in late 2025 marked a technological milestone, featuring an upgraded optical architecture and next-generation display system that will serve as a cornerstone of VITURE’s 2026 roadmap.

Cultural Momentum: Cyberpunk Collaboration

In December, VITURE partnered with CD Projekt RED to release a serialized limited-edition XR collaboration celebrating the fifth anniversary of Cyberpunk 2077.

The limited run of Luma Cyber XR Glasses quickly sold out, further strengthening VITURE’s cultural footprint within gaming and immersive entertainment communities. A wearable collectible. A display masterpiece. A slice of Night City — made real.

Strategic AI + AR Collaboration with NVIDIA & Stanford

Beyond consumer hardware, VITURE is also expanding into enterprise and medical applications.

In October, VITURE announced a joint initiative with NVIDIA and Stanford Medicine, combining AR and AI technologies to streamline laboratory workflows and accelerate research processes.

The collaboration was briefly featured in Jensen Huang’s keynote last October — a moment that VITURE considers a meaningful milestone, standing alongside innovations shaping the future of technology. The initiative will also be showcased at the upcoming NVIDIA GTC, further positioning VITURE at the intersection of spatial computing and artificial intelligence.

Official Statement Regarding XREAL Litigation

As an official response to XREAL’s litigation, VITURE confirms that it has already taken affirmative legal action to protect its rights. This includes initiating patent infringement proceedings against XREAL in China, as well as separate legal action addressing false and harmful statements made by XREAL concerning VITURE and its products.

While VITURE did not seek to be drawn into litigation, the company will not hesitate to enforce its intellectual property rights and pursue all appropriate legal remedies available under applicable law.

If the court rules in VITURE’s favor, potential remedies may include injunctive relief restricting the manufacturing and export of all XREAL products utilizing the electrochromic film technology, along with other corrective measures as permitted by law.

With respect to the patent infringement claims recently brought by XREAL in the United States, VITURE has retained Cooley LLP, a leading international litigation firm, as counsel. VITURE’s official position is as follows:

We believe the claims lack merit. VITURE has independently developed its products and respects valid intellectual property rights. We will address these matters through the appropriate legal process while remaining focused on delivering innovative products and serving our customers.

VITURE stands confident in its technology, its intellectual property portfolio, and its long-term vision for advancing the XR industry.

Eyes on 2026

With exponential year-over-year growth and strong institutional backing, VITURE enters 2026 positioned not only as a leading XR hardware company, but as a broader spatial computing platform shaping the future of work, entertainment, and AI integration.

$200M in funding underscores strong investor confidence in VITURE’s XR and AR leadership as the company accelerates into 2026.
$200M in funding underscores strong investor confidence in VITURE’s XR and AR leadership as the company accelerates into 2026.

Plume to Deliver the Only Open Agentic AI Platform that Supports the Complete ISP Customer Journey

Built on insights from 500 million devices, the open, vendor-agnostic Plume Platform unifies network intelligence and AI orchestration to engage, support and retain subscribers across the full customer lifecycle, on any hardware, cloud, or AI model.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Plume Design, Inc. (“Plume”), the global technology platform trusted by more than 450 Internet Service Providers across 58 countries, today announced a major evolution of its platform, delivering the only open, vendor-agnostic carrier-grade Agentic AI orchestration platform for ISP operations. Open by design, the enhanced Plume platform will autonomously monitor network conditions, diagnose issues, and resolve subscriber problems, across any network, any CPE, and any AI model, transforming how ISPs operate, compete, and grow. The goal is straightforward: subscribers get rock-solid connectivity and services that are easy to live with. ISPs build the Subscriber Confidence that drives lasting loyalty and future growth, at the lowest cost to serve.

The Plume platform is now fortified with Sweepr, one of the industry’s leading customer care orchestration platforms. What makes this announcement significant is what changed. Sweepr has earned a strong reputation among ISPs for its AI-powered care workflows and now, elevated and deeply integrated with Plume’s network intelligence layer, serves as the foundation of Agentic AI orchestration across the full subscriber journey. From the moment a subscriber connects through every interaction that follows, Plume’s network, device, and application intelligence feeds the Agentic AI engine with the context needed to make every engagement relevant, personalized, and effective, keeping more interactions in the digital domain where they can be resolved faster and at lower cost. The result is every ISP touchpoint, whether digital, voice, or agent-assisted, delivering the right outcome, fast and securely.

“Customer care is fundamental to our mission, and this platform marks a turning point for the industry. For the first time, ISPs can deliver AI-optimized experiences across the entire customer lifecycle, from onboarding to support, that build real, lasting Subscriber Confidence,” said Dan Herscovici, President and CEO of Plume. “Unlike anything else in the market, our open platform works across any CPE vendor, any cloud partner, and any AI model because we believe operators should control their infrastructure choices, not be locked into a single ecosystem. We are giving ISPs the tools to deploy sophisticated support journeys in minutes rather than months, and the deep network and subscriber context to resolve issues the right way, right now. We will keep doing what it takes to put the world’s best ISPs ahead.”

Built for ISPs to Win

The platform is organized around three capabilities that work in sequence across the full subscriber lifecycle, from acquisition and onboarding through support and retention. Intelligence converts telemetry across users, devices, applications, and services into real-time, actionable insight. Orchestration acts on that insight through Agentic AI workflows that fix connectivity problems and initiate resolutions without waiting for a ticket. Engagement delivers that value across every touchpoint through open APIs that connect subscriber-facing apps, ISP dashboards, and every channel an ISP operates, including IVR, chat, social, app and web. When subscribers get rock-solid connectivity and services that are easy to live with, Subscriber Confidence follows. When ISPs can deliver that at the lowest cost to serve, that is a sustainable competitive advantage.

Live deployments are already producing measurable results. TELUS, one of Canada’s largest operators, prevented over 550,000 call center calls, achieving an 80% digital resolution rate, a 91% subscriber engagement rate across digital journeys, and a 60% improvement in team productivity through Sweepr’s platform, while reducing workflow deployment time from two weeks to four days. For new ISPs, deployments go live in as little as 12 weeks across diverse network and business environments. With the enhanced Agentic AI platform now available, the opportunity to drive even greater operational efficiency and Subscriber Confidence is within reach for ISPs of any size.

Agentic AI That Is Carrier-Validated and Proven at Scale

Sweepr came to Plume already trusted by leading service providers, independently funded, and tested through years of real-world deployments. Plume’s acquisition brought Sweepr’s proven customer care journey foundation together with Plume’s network intelligence layer, and the combination is what made Agentic AI orchestration possible at this scale. No other company pairs a connectivity intelligence platform of this size with care orchestration that spans the full subscriber journey.

New capabilities give operators the ability to generate or edit support flows using natural language prompts, cutting deployment time from months to minutes. The new LLM Fabric, built on a Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture, connects large language models to the technical reality of ISP networks to deliver advanced care support across every channel.

Horizontal AI platforms can improve how an ISP handles simple interactions. What they cannot do is reliably manage the complexity of technical support: hooking into backend systems, rebooting routers, switching WiFi channels, reading telemetry within a deterministic, auditable framework that an ISP can stand behind. Plume takes a hybrid approach starting with deterministic pathways built on deep ISP knowledge of the customer lifecycle paired with layers of the Agentic AI fabric on top providing a governed and iterative framework that does not drift, does not guess, and keeps ISPs in total control.

“Getting Agentic AI right in an ISP environment takes two things: the deepest network intelligence in the industry and the human expertise to know what to do with it,” said Alan Coleman, Chief Product Officer at Plume. “Sweepr’s team spent years solving ISP care: subscriber support that is fast, contextual, personal and affordable to deliver. Plume’s engineers bring decades of understanding exactly what is happening inside a connected home, across half a billion devices, with the security and reliability that ISPs around the world stake their reputation on. Put those two together and you have something genuinely different. AI that acts, resolves and builds the kind of subscriber relationships that drive growth at the lowest cost to serve. For ISPs, deploying Plume is the difference between a customer for a year and a customer for life.”

Agentic AI Platform Capabilities

  • LLM-Agnostic Flexibility: ISPs can integrate their preferred large language model or opt for a managed service with a pre-embedded model, with no forced dependency on any single AI provider.
  • Experience Builder Evolution: Agentic prompt editing and enhanced content reuse cut authoring time for complex support journeys from months to minutes.
  • Journey Viewer: Generative AI-powered summaries give support agents a clear picture of each customer’s history and suggested next steps.
  • Journey Optimizer: Dashboard alerts surface meaningful shifts in network behavior and customer intent so operators can respond before issues escalate.
  • Real-Time Performance Tracking: A dedicated LLM Evaluation model lets operators monitor accuracy and adherence metrics as they happen.
  • Continuous Autonomous Resolution: Network intelligence directly triggers subscriber-facing care journeys, resolving issues before they become support calls.

Open by Design, Secure by Default

The platform runs as a cloud-native, software-based solution with no hardware lock-in and no rip-and-replace requirements. It works with any CPE vendor, any major hyperscaler including Google, AWS, and Microsoft, and any LLM. ISPs keep their existing investments and stay in control of their own infrastructure decisions.

“Everything we build advances on open standards because the future of the ISP ecosystem depends on interoperability and trust,” said Chris Griffiths, CTO at Plume. “Our commitment to frameworks like RDK and prpl, and our focus on security at every layer of the stack, ensures that as we bring Agentic AI into the network, operators and their subscribers can rely on Plume to do it responsibly and openly.”

Successful orchestration at this scale does not happen in isolation. Plume works end-to-end across the ISP ecosystem, with more than 40 ODM partners and deep engagement across hardware, software, and network layers.

As Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) converge, industrial operators must protect infrastructure, maintain uptime, and prepare for regulatory requirements such as NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). IEI’s showcase emphasizes resilience—keeping systems secure and operational under cyber threats, harsh environments, and continuous 24/7 workloads.

Strategic Highlights: From Risk to Readiness
“Industrial operators are facing a dual challenge: deploying increasingly demanding AI workloads at the edge while navigating evolving cybersecurity regulations such as NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA),” said YT LEE, VP of IEI Integration Corp. At Embedded World 2026, we are demonstrating how IEI solutions help customers transition from risk exposure to operational readiness by bridging the gap between high-performance computing and strict security governance.

Four Pillars of Resilient Edge Infrastructure:

  • Accelerating AI Inference Deployment:
    IEI will highlight integrated Edge AI computing solutions that combine iVEC CANAI virtualized AI acceleration framework, high-performance LLM inference servers, and compact, energy-efficient Edge AI systems. Built on a secure-by-design foundation, these systems support Intel® Core™ Ultra (Series 2) processors and NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ platforms to deliver intelligence without compromising security.
  • Security Governance and Lifecycle Protection:
    Through dedicated PSIRT operations and a public Security Advisory Portal, IEI helps ensure mission-critical systems remain protected. This governance framework is structured around internationally recognized industrial cybersecurity frameworks, including IEC 62443, and evolving regulatory expectations under the CRA.
  • Operational Resilience for Modern Manufacturing:
    IEI will demonstrate iRM remote management for CIM environments, integrating redundancy management with out-of-band remote OS recovery to enable centralized monitoring, high availability, and rapid restoration during system failures—supporting continuous 24/7 workloads.
  • Vertical-Focused Durability:
    Dedicated zones will feature rugged systems, including DNV-validated maritime platforms and IP69K-rated stainless steel systems for food processing, ensuring reliable operation in the harshest environments.
