Map My Customers

Rakuten Mobile is preparing to end its domestic roaming agreement with au (KDDI), which has allowed its customers to use au's network in areas beyond Rakuten's own 4G coverage. The company has published an updated area map covering the transition from October, showing where coverage will change once roaming stops. The move has drawn attention from users concerned about signal availability in rural and depopulated areas.

10x Genomics has started shipping its Atera spatial biology platform, marking a commercial rollout of the new instrument. The system is designed to let researchers map gene activity within intact tissue, an area of growing interest in drug development and disease research. The company says deliveries to customers are now underway, though details on launch customers and pricing have not been given.
