MKNL Technology debuts AnyCalls to eliminate communication silos
Setting a new standard in communications, MKNL Technology delivers a suite of tools designed to overcome common challenges faced by users worldwide, enhancing connectivity across networks, platforms, and operating systems (OS)Tel Aviv, January 2025—MKNL Technology Ltd., the leading telecommunications company specializing in network software and hardware, launches AnyCalls, an app designed to bridge the gap between modern messaging services, such as WhatsApp and Telegram and traditional landline and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) Networks. AnyCalls aims to connect popular communication services with traditional networks, offering users services in a single, unified platform, regardless of their OS.There was a time when the only way to contact someone was by telephone, a process that required saving contact information and typically involved navigating complexities like roaming fees and limited minutes. Today, smartphone users rely on a variety of apps for communication, with research indicating the number of mobile messaging app users worldwide is expected to reach 4.6 billion by 2026. However, this rapid proliferation of communication platforms has resulted in a fragmented user experience, with individuals constantly switching between apps to manage different forms of interaction—whether messaging, video calls, or social media.By combining previously incompatible call platforms such as GSM, landline, and VoIP (Voice over Internet), AnyCalls creates a path for communication across networks that were once siloed. This integration eliminates the need for multiple apps, allowing users to connect with anyone, regardless of network or platform. Compatible with any OS, AnyCalls allows users to initiate conference calls across diverse networks, with future plans to introduce AI-powered features, such as intelligent answering machine, voice cloning, and automatic transcription of conversations. For global communications, users can avoid costly roaming fees by routing calls directly through the AnyCalls platform.Alongside AnyCalls, MKNL Technology has also developed an advanced software solution for keyboard language layouts. With over 43 percent of the global population speaking two or more languages, the software is designed to support up to four languages simultaneously. It automatically detects the language selected by the user and highlights the corresponding characters and symbols on the keyboard. By visually indicating the active language, the software helps users avoid accidental typing errors, making it more intuitive and convenient for multilingual users.Additionally, the company is developing HaloCalls, an AI-powered real-time translation app designed to break down language barriers in communication. Operating across both PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and VoIP networks, HaloCalls will offer real-time translations in over 50 languages. The app will support app-to-app communication as well as traditional GSM networks, providing a versatile solution for seamless cross-language conversations."We are thrilled to provide users with software and hardware solutions aimed at enhancing communication processes," says Daniel Binkin, Chairman of MKNL Technology Ltd. ""As global connectivity grows, our mission is to simplify communication across platforms and networks, ensuring individuals stay connected, no matter the app or location. These products highlight our commitment to advancing and simplifying communications, and we look forward to continuing to enhance the way people connect and collaborate globally."AboutAbout MKNL Technology Ltd.:Founded in 2022, MKNL Technology Ltd. is focused on designing and manufacturing cutting-edge telecom equipment.

Betting on the Future: States Seek Unified Standards for Online Gambling
As the online gambling landscape changes fast, state lawmakers are stepping up with a plan. With internet wagering booming, lawmakers from states where gambling is already legal are rolling out a model bill for others to address the changing landscape. At the heart of their proposal? A 15-25% tax rate, no credit card deposits and consistent oversight.The National Council of Legislators from Gaming States released this framework last week to help states still considering legalizing online gambling. Their goal is to find a balance: a clear path forward while respecting state's rights. And with seven states, including Michigan and New Jersey, already cashing in on online casinos, the momentum is hard to ignore. With promotions like free spins no deposit Michigan players are finding these welcome bonuses hard to resist, resulting in a growing base of players there and envious looks directed from further afield.Internet Gambling BlueprintThis is not a new idea. This proposal builds on existing models, especially New Jersey's. As one of the first states to regulate internet gambling in 2013, New Jersey has become the benchmark. David Rebuck, the former head of New Jersey's Division of Gaming Enforcement, was an advisor to the group and called the proposal "95%" of what's already in place in his state.The proposal includes several provisions to protect the consumer while ensuring fair play. A government agency to regulate online gambling would be required if not already in place. Daily deposits would be capped at $20,000 and credit card funding would be prohibited for accounts to prevent impulsive or irresponsible betting.Taxation is key to the proposal. Fluharty, the council's president and a West Virginia state delegate, said the tax rate is competitive. 15-25% is low enough not to be a barrier to entry but high enough to generate revenue. Pennsylvania's rates are 36% for online sports betting and 54% for online slots. Many view these staggeringly high rates as a cautionary tale, one which doesn't necessarily need to be repeated.Online Gambling RevenueThe money is real. In New Jersey alone, 15% tax on online casinos brought in over $414 million last year. As budgets get tighter across the country, states are looking at online gambling as the answer.This isn't just hype. Rebuck says more states will take action in the coming year as the early adopters show success. Maryland and Louisiana have had their own bills but haven't passed yet. New York has allowed online sports betting but can't get online casinos going due to the 31.5% tax rate debate.Takeaways from the PioneersThe framework's focus on moderation is a lesson from states like West Virginia where the tax rate is 15%. Fluharty says to avoid "barriers to entry" so a wide range of operators—not just the big guys—can participate.Also, states looking to legalize should focus on consumer protection. That means clear regulation of internet traffic, enhanced fraud detection and mechanisms to prevent problem gambling. With nearly a million students in Indonesia reported to be online gambling, the risks of unregulated internet betting are real globally.Why Local Control is KeyOne thing missing from the council's proposal is any national standards. Gambling is a state regulated industry and efforts to impose federal oversight have failed every time. Even during Donald Trump's presidency—a guy who was all about the gambling industry—national regulations were never seriously considered.For many, that's a good thing. It allows states to make their own laws fit their own culture and priorities. In Utah all forms of gambling are banned while in Nevada they embrace their reputation as a gambler's paradise.What's NextAs the internet gambling conversation heats up one thing is for sure: states are starting to talk to each other. The council's model legislation is a big step in that direction even if it's not all the way there.For now, it's about giving states the information to make informed decisions and learn from the successes and failures of others. Whether it's Michigan's slow and steady approach or Pennsylvania's high risk high reward, the early adopters will shape the next wave of legalization.With budgets tightening and demand increasing, the question is no longer if more states will legalize online gambling but how. And as lawmakers weigh the options, a clearer picture of a smoother more standardized system is emerging – one that's carefully designed to be fair and profitable.The framework could be viewed as an invitation to talk not a directive. By providing a starting point it hopes to make legalization less scary for the holdouts. And no one blueprint will fit all but sharing ideas is a big step forward for online gambling.For a country in the digital age of wagering, these conversations will mean a future where innovation and regulation can coexist, each supporting the other to create a fairer and more profitable industry.
