Payment routing is the process of determining the most effective way to send each transaction. Instead of pushing every payment through one gateway, it looks at different acquirers, processors, and providers, then picks the route most likely to succeed.

Finastra has announced its new Intelligent Routing Module for data-driven payment routing to banks and financial institutions.

The Intelligent Routing Module brings a data-driven approach to payment routing, enabling banks to process transactions faster and at a lower cost. Finastra reports that the new solution can achieve an impressive straight-through processing rate of upwards of 95%, leading to better outcomes for both financial institutions and their customers.

Powered by ez enRoute, which it closed its acquisition of on Sept. 16, Zonar is expanding its technology portfolio by offering an all-in-one routing ecosystem. Bus Suite, which the company said is designed to improve safety, efficiency and communication, was demoed at the STN EXPO West Ride and Drive in July. It is currently available.

Imagine the benefits if the entire internet got a game-changing upgrade to speed and security. This is the promise of the quantum internet—an advanced system that uses single photons to operate. Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new photonic router that can direct single and quantum entangled photons with unprecedented levels of efficiency.

Real-time routing and smart scheduling are helping fleets reduce delays, lower fuel costs, and improve the driver experience.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Networking was part of a recent proof-of-concept (PoC) that demonstrated the deployment of quantum-safe networking at scale and without interfering with existing infrastructure, furthering a growing push around quantum networking initiatives.

“Companies spent $8.4 billion on API calls to LLMs in just the first half of 2025 — more than double the figure for all of 2024,” said Iddo Gino (pictured), founder and chief executive of Datawizz.
