Key Terms

fcc, oled, ocr, rf

4 terms

fcc regulatory

"have received FCC and CE certifications for market access in the United States"

The FCC is the U.S. government agency that regulates radio, television, satellite, cable and wireless communications. Its decisions are like traffic signals for companies that use airwaves or communications networks: they grant licenses, approve or block mergers, set technical rules and enforce penalties, all of which can change a company’s ability to operate, sell products or compete — and therefore affect revenue, costs and investor returns.

oled technical

"Featuring a Sony OLED HD display, a powerful camera supporting AI-based barcode"

OLED is a display technology that uses thin layers of organic material that produce light when electric current passes through, enabling thinner, more flexible screens with deeper blacks and more vivid color than traditional backlit panels. Investors watch OLED adoption because it affects product appeal, manufacturing complexity and supplier relationships—wider use can boost revenues and margins for makers of phones, TVs and components, while limited adoption can shift competitive and cost dynamics.

ocr technical

"a powerful camera supporting AI-based barcode and OCR scanning, and fully hands-free"

Optical character recognition (OCR) is a technology that reads printed or handwritten text from images or scanned documents and turns it into editable, searchable digital text. For investors, OCR matters because it speeds up and automates reading financial reports, contracts, and regulatory filings—cutting manual work, reducing errors, and enabling faster analysis of large document sets, which can affect a company’s costs, accuracy of disclosures, and decision speed.

rf technical

"FCC certification confirms that the device meets U.S. requirements for RF emissions"

rf (commonly written r_f) denotes the risk-free rate — the theoretical return on an investment with no chance of loss, often used as a baseline for valuing other assets. Investors use it like a yardstick: returns above this number compensate for extra risk, so it helps price stocks, bonds and option valuations and guides decisions about whether higher-return opportunities justify their added risk. Think of it as the safe deposit box interest rate against which riskier bets are measured.

• Vuzix LX1 smart glasses offer a powerful new upgrade for outmoded voice-picking systems

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of AI-powered smart glasses, waveguides and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, today announced that its LX1 smart glasses have received FCC and CE certifications for market access in the United States, Canada, European Union, United Kingdom, and Japan and commenced commercial shipments. Vuzix LX1 smart glasses are a ruggedized solution for hands-free work including maintenance, field service and warehousing, where all-day battery life is critical.

Receiving FCC and CE certification marks a significant milestone for the LX1 in terms of readiness for broad deployment, demonstrating compliance with critical regulatory standards for safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and radio frequency performance. FCC certification confirms that the device meets U.S. requirements for RF emissions and interference, ensuring it can operate reliably in complex enterprise environments without disrupting other equipment. CE certification similarly validates conformity with European Union directives, including health, safety, and environmental protection standards, enabling commercialization across EU markets.

Vuzix LX1 smart glasses are designed for many tasks in the modern workforce, including logistics and equipment maintenance, where it integrates easily into existing workflows with minimal training. Featuring a Sony OLED HD display, a powerful camera supporting AI-based barcode and OCR scanning, and fully hands-free voice control, LX1 smart glasses are built to improve productivity across a variety of industry use cases.

Focusing in on a logistics use case, the combination of vision and voice picking by warehouse personnel provides modern warehouses with a powerful upgrade to commonly used voice-only picking solutions, which have become increasingly limited in complex picking scenarios and loud environments. Watch the LX1 performing an example vision + voice pick & pack workflow, where the worker receives visual confirmations of pick accuracy, integrated picklist notifications, and palletizing instruction. Workers can manage inventory and shipments hands-free, even in cold storage environments, with highly accurate voice commands and AI assist. Onboarding across all use cases is simplified through visual prompts, step-by-step guides, and multilingual support.

"We are pleased to receive product certification across these key regions and commence volume commercial shipment of LX1 smart glasses to our customers," said Dr. Chris Parkinson, President of Enterprise Solutions at Vuzix. "Supply chain teams are increasingly seeking modern alternatives to outdated voice-only picking systems. In response to continuous user feedback, the LX1 has been engineered for speed and ease of use, positioning it as a smart, next-generation solution for use in the warehousing and logistics vertical, as well as in manufacturing and field service."
