Totalmobile expands into Canada with Toronto headquarters and new regional leadership
Totalmobile has expanded into Canada and launched a new Toronto-based headquarters.
The expansion comes as businesses and public sector organisations across Canada face labour shortages, rising service expectations and growing operational complexity driven by disconnected legacy systems.
Supporting more than 500,000 daily users across 1,000 organisations globally, Totalmobile’ s Field First platform helps simplify frontline operations by combining job management, scheduling, workforce rostering and AI-driven field service intelligence within a single scalable platform designed specifically for field teams.
“ Canada represents an important next step for Totalmobile and a strategically important market as we continue expanding our international presence,” said Phil Race, CEO, Totalmobile.
“ Organisations are under increasing pressure to simplify operations, improve visibility and deliver better frontline services – we believe there’ s a real opportunity to support that with our more connected approach.”
Based in Toronto, David Sheridan, as Regional Director, Canada, will lead Totalmobile’ s Canadian operations and work with organisations looking to enhance field service delivery. He brings more than 20 years’ experience leading growth across enterprise technology markets in North America.
“ Totalmobile is not entering Canada as an unknown quantity,” said Sheridan.“ Our platform has been proven at scale in some of the most demanding field service environments internationally, and we’ re bringing that experience directly to Canadian organisations.”
The Canadian launch marks Totalmobile’ s third international expansion beyond the UK in the past three years.
Autonodyne advances F-35 human-machine teaming with MQ-20 Avenger autonomy demonstration
Autonodyne, alongside the US Air Force and the F-35
Joint Program Office Future Capabilities and Technology team, has completed a Human-Machine Teaming( HMT) and beyond-line-of-sight( BLOS) datalink demonstration involving a ground-based F-35 Lightning II and an airborne MQ-20 Avenger at Edwards Air Force Base, California.
The exercise brought together multiple partners, including General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Lockheed Martin, the 309th Software Engineering Group, the 461st Flight Test Squadron and the 370th Flight Test Squadron. The demonstration marked another step forward in the development of autonomous systems designed to operate alongside crewed military aircraft and support future air combat operations.
During the flight, Autonodyne’ s Bashi tablet was used from the cockpit of the fifth-generation fighter to command the MQ-20 Avenger, which operated as a surrogate Combat Collaborative Aircraft( CCA). Over a 3.5-hour mission, the system enabled the pilot to issue tactical commands that were executed in real time by the unmanned aircraft.
The demonstration represents the latest in a series of autonomy exercises involving Autonodyne’ s technology. Bashi software has previously supported Human-Machine Teaming demonstrations conducted from F-22 Raptor and F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft.
The flights utilised a fully operational system configuration integrating Bashi software, the Government Reference Architecture Compute Environment( GRACE), secure line-ofsight and BLOS communications, and Autonomy Government Reference Architecture( A-GRA) protocols.
With initial integration activities validated, the Air Force is focusing on expanded flight testing and developing tactics, techniques and procedures for future Human-Machine Teaming operations.
