(Nasdaq: CETX) and a leading provider of advanced security and surveillance solutions, today announced it has secured a new set of significant orders from correctional facilities in the United Kingdom. The contracts, valued at approximately $.8 million, further Vicon's position as a trusted provider in one of the world's most regulated and demanding surveillance environments.
The orders came through a long-term integration partner of Vicon and include advanced surveillance hardware and software for multiple prisons and an immigration center. Each deployment features a tailored mix of Vicon's advanced outdoor dome and bullet cameras, Valerus enterprise video management licenses, and high-performance recording servers, all optimized for 24/7 operation in secure facilities.
'These repeat orders from within the UK's custodial sector underscore the critical role our technology plays in protecting secure facilities,' said Saagar Govil, Chairman and CEO of Cemtrex. 'They are a direct reflection of the value we bring including reliable performance, seamless integration, and a product roadmap aligned with the evolving needs of public infrastructure clients.'
The UK correctional market is known for its stringent standards and rigorous procurement processes. Vicon's ability to consistently meet those demands is a testament to its deep engineering capabilities and commitment to long-term customer partnerships.
'Our continued traction in this sector isn't just about strong products, it's about trust earned over years of consistent delivery,' added Govil. 'As infrastructure modernization accelerates, we are proud to be a partner of choice for institutions focused on resilience, safety, and operational excellence.'
These latest orders build on a multi-year track record of success in the UK market and reinforce Vicon's position as a preferred provider for critical government applications. The systems are scheduled to begin deployment this quarter and are expected to be fully delivered before the end of the fiscal year. The client, which requested confidentiality, has also indicated the potential for future orders tied to ongoing infrastructure upgrades.

In a record-breaking year, DDB surpassed its 2023 award tally with a total of 112 Lions, further cementing its place at the forefront of the global creative industry. DDB's continued rise comes just one year into the leadership of Global CEO Alex Lubar and President & Global Chief Creative Officer, Chaka Sobhani . Since taking the reins, the duo has steered the network into a new era; one defined by tighter integration, emotionally-led creativity, and a sharpened focus on work that delivers both cultural impact and real business results.

Why Alphabet Stock Flopped on Friday
Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) stock didn't finish the trading week on a high note. The Google parent company's two listed shares both sank by nearly 4% in price that day, thanks in no small part to a development on the regulatory front. Those declines were notably more pronounced than the S&P 500 index's 0.2% slip on the day. An unappealing request? Alphabet's key business unit Google is on the hook to pay a 4.1 billion euro ($4.7 billion) fine to the European Union (EU), after it ruled in 2018 that the company actively stifled search engine competition with its Android mobile operating system. The tech giant has, not surprisingly, appealed that fine. That appeal is now pending at the highest court in the EU, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). In what has to be considered a setback for Google/Alphabet, the CJEU's advocate-general -- the court's top advisory official -- recommended that Google's appeal be dismissed. In her recommendation, Juliane Kokott said that "Google held a dominant position in several markets of the Android-ecosystem and thus benefited from network effects that enabled it to ensure that users used Google Search." Although Kokott's recommendations are non-binding, CJEU justices typically accept and follow the advice of the court's advocate-general. Alphabet has not yet publicly commented on this latest development in its appeal. One break was enough Alphabet did get something of a break with the fine, as it was cut slightly from the original amount of over 4.3 billion euros ($4.9 billion) to the 4.1 billion euros currently hanging over it. The company, sprawling and powerful as it is, can easily afford the fine in the likely case its appeal fails. However, a defeat would illustrate Alphabet's continued vulnerability to anti-competitive lawsuits like the EU's. Should you invest $1,000 in Alphabet right now?
