AIS teams up with ZTE to build the first high-level 5G network in Thailand

With the construction of first A-Z Center launched by Q3 2022

SHENZHEN, China, June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the mobile internet, today announced that it has signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Advanced Info Service Plc. (AIS), Thailand’s number one digital service provider.

According to the agreement, ZTE will be AIS’ comprehensive strategic partner to upgrade key technologies such as 5G to enhance network quality and deliver excellent user experiences to AIS customers, while developing innovations to put Thailand at the forefront of the digital economy.

ZTE, with great commitment to upgrading the AIS 5G network to be an autonomous network capable of precise autonomous network management during the processing of big data and AI, will also be poised to expand AIS’ 5G capabilities for different industries, bolstered with ZTE’s specialized innovation expertise that has already been globally successful. This will enable Thai industries to grow massively through the deployment of digital transformation.

Also, AIS and ZTE will launch Thailand’s first “A-Z Center” (5G Innovation Center) as a hub for research collaborations and joint 5G innovations, for both infrastructure and solutions, to boost growth in sectors such as the 5G applications in industry verticals. The Center is due be completed by Q3 this year.

“We are a digital life service provider that focuses on unlocking digital tech such as 5G, a vital piece of infrastructure to enhance the country’s capabilities in the digital economy,” said Somchai Lertsutiwong, CEO of AIS. “This brings us the potential for our investments to deliver a wide variety of experiences and smart services to AIS customers, the Thai public and a range of industrial sectors.”

“We have always been confident that 5G will become a key variable in the near future to affect transformation, from consumer behavior to social contexts, and the growth of Thailand’s digital economy.” added Somchai Lertsutiwong.

“ZTE, as one of the global leaders in 5G, truly believes that 5G is driving the development of the verticals and the digital transformation of industries,” said Mr. Xu Ziyang, CEO of ZTE Corporation. “We will continue to innovate in 5G technical solutions and applications, and work with AIS to jointly explore the huge potential of 5G networks in the digital economy era.”

AIS is currently the only provider to persist in expanding its 5G network to cover all 77 provinces of Thailand, reaching 78% of the population. Aimed to grow the number to 85% within this year, AIS has continued to work with world-class partners like ZTE to jointly develop innovations.

In March 2022, AIS, Qualcomm and ZTE announced the world’s first 5G NR-DC (New Radio Dual Connectivity) showcase in the field with 2.6GHz and 26GHz, achieving 8.5Gbps peak downlink speed and 2.17Gbps peak uplink speed with a single mobile device. As part of the joint effort, this collaboration combines two major 5G frequency bands, Sub-6 and 5G mmWave, to enhance the capabilities of Thailand’s 5G network and extend the 5G application landscape.

Also, in May 2021, AIS, ZTE and Suranaree University of Technology collaborated to trial the 5G Smart Factory. This supports personnel to gain expertise in AI, Cloud, IoT, VR and AR. Then, the skills can be applied to develop solutions for the manufacturing sector, most particularly in the northeast of Thailand.

Carbon Bank launches the future of payments for Africa with Zero Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL)

Carbon Zero literally charges ZERO percent interest on all purchases

LAGOS, NIGERIA – EQS Newswire – 10 June 2022 – Carbon (https://ng.GetCarbon.co/), a credit led Pan-African digital bank today released Carbon Zero: (zero-app.getcarbon.co), a buy now, pay later web app which helps customers spread the cost of purchases into interest-free instalments, in-store or online. Since its inception in late 2021, Carbon Zero has generated ₦2.3 billion in requests from 41,000 customers who have applied for a spending limit.

Instant Approval

Using proprietary technology Carbon has been developing and improving throughout their 10 years as a credit provider, Carbon’s decision engines can automatically assess affordability and give accurate credit decisions in seconds. By simply sharing their BVN and bank account number, millions of people can make purchases with interest-free credit seamlessly.

Market-Leading Spend Amounts

Based on affordability, Carbon Zero allows customers to spend up to N2.5m with Carbon Zero. This is far higher than the spend limits offered by competitors, with most being somewhere between ₦150,000 and ₦500,000. This of course makes Carbon Zero the de-facto choice for customers with higher purchasing power.

The Best Interest Rate: 0%

This one’s easy to explain. Carbon Zero literally charges ZERO percent interest on all purchases which are repaid on time and in full in 3 instalments giving Carbon Zero an edge over competing BNPL providers that charge interest for short tenors.

“We believe that having access to credit and good financial services is a fundamental human right. The costs of basic goods and services are rising and increasingly out of reach for customers, so it’s natural that people need help with financing what we consider everyday modern necessities.” Chijioke Dozie. CEO, Carbon

‫ تعلن HONOR عن أحدث تقدم في مجال الاستدامة، وتطلق التحدي الشهري الجديد “رؤية الأرض من المرآة” لـ HONOR Magic Moments

تكثف HONOR جهودها البيئية باستخدام التكنولوجيا، من تغليف المنتجات إلى العمليات التجارية

شنجن، الصين، 10 يونيو/حزيران 2022 / PRNewswire / — احتفالاً باليوم العالمي للبيئة، أعلنت شركة HONOR العالمية للتكنولوجيا اليوم عن آخر التحديثات لإنجازاتها البيئية. من التصنيع والتغليف إلى إدارة النفايات، تدمج HONOR الممارسات الخضراء في دورة الحياة الكاملة للمنتجات وعملياتها اليومية لتعزيز التنمية المستدامة بنشاط من أجل مستقبل أكثر خضرة.

لزيادة الوعي بالبيئة والاستدامة، ينطلق تحدي HONOR Magic Moments الشهري الجديد تحت شعار “رؤية الأرض من المرآة” اليوم على إنستغرام و فايسبوك و نادي HONOR الدولي . يهدف التحدي إلى تشجيع المشاركين على تقدير والتقاط المناظر الطبيعية الجميلة في جميع أنحاء العالم. في الوقت نفسه، تم تحديث موقع HONOR الرسمي بصفحة جديدة للبيئة .

قال جورج تشاو، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة HONOR : “في HONOR ، نحن ملتزمون بتقليل التأثير البيئي لمنتجاتنا، حيث مع الاستدامة والاقتصاد الدائري كجزء من فلسفة تصميم منتجاتنا، نسعى جاهدين لتعزيز ملاءمة منتجاتنا للبيئة من خلال تقييم بصماتها الكربونية طوال دورة الحياة الكاملة، وفي نفس الوقت تقليل استهلاك الموارد والطاقة “.

تحسين التعبئة والتغليف مع مراعاة الوعي البيئي

لتقليل استهلاك الموارد، تستخدم HONOR مواد تغليف خفيفة الوزن ومضغوطة وغير ضارة وسهلة لإعادة التدوير وصديقة للبيئة. كما تساعد الشركة في حماية البيئة أيضا من خلال استبدال الحبر والبلاستيك التقليدي القائم على البترول بمواد تغليف متجددة وقابلة للتحلل.

بالتحول من الحبر البترولي إلى حبر الصويا، خفضت HONOR انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون بحوالي 80 طنًا منذ عام 2014. بالنسبة لسلسلة HONOR Magic ، فإن علبة الهاتف مصنوعة من قصب السكر بدلاً من البلاستيك، مما يقلل انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون بمقدار 32 طنًا لكل مليون وحدة. كما استبدلت شركة HONOR البلاستيك بالورق بالنسبة للغشاء الواقي لأجهزة الشحن وكابلات البيانات، مما أدى إلى خفض انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون بمقدار 35 طنًا لكل 10 ملايين وحدة. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، تُستخدم صناديق التغليف المعتمدة من قبل مجلس الإشراف على الغابات لاحتواء المنتجات، بما في ذلك HONOR Magic للهواتف الذكية و HONOR Watch GS3 ، والتي تساعد في الحفاظ على مساحة غابات تبلغ حوالي 122 هكتارًا سنويًا.

منذ عام 2021، تعمل HONOR على تصميم حل تغليف أبسط وأكثر قوة لأجهزة الكمبيوتر المحمولة. فحاليًا، جميع أجهزة الكمبيوتر المحمولة من HONOR معبأة في صناديق مصنوعة من قطع فردية من الورق المقوى المموج المطوي. كما تم أيضًا التخلص من الصناديق المتوسطة الحجم المستخدمة عادةً في التسليم، مما يساهم في تقليل انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون بمقدار 208 أطنان في المجموع. بالنسبة لأجهزة الكمبيوتر المحمولة والأجهزة الإلكترونية الملبوسة، وفرت HONOR ما يقرب من 74 طنًا من الورق، وهو ما يعادل انخفاضًا في انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون بمقدار 77 طنًا، من خلال تحسين هيكل التغليف وتعزيز إدارة المواد المطبوعة.

تلبية المعايير البيئية الصارمة مع الشهادات المعترف بها من قبل الصناعة

علاوة على تلبية المتطلبات الدولية، تحافظ HONOR على مجموعة أكثر صرامة من المعايير البيئية الداخلية للقيام بدور فعال في القضاء على المواد الضارة المحتملة من الهواتف الذكية والأجهزة اللوحية وغيرها من المنتجات.

بعد اختبار العشرات من صيغ المواد بالشراكة مع العديد من الموردين، استقرت HONOR على استخدام كابلات الطاقة الخالية من الهالوجين لجميع هواتفها الذكية والأجهزة اللوحية، وهو تغيير أدى إلى تقليل المواد الخطرة في منتجات العلامة التجارية بنحو 3379 طنًا منذ إطلاقها حيز التنفيذ في عام 2016. حتى الآن، حصلت 76 من الهواتف الذكية والأجهزة اللوحية من HONOR على ملصق بيئي من الدرجة الأولى من المركز الصيني لشهادات الجودة ( CQC ).

استكشاف الطاقة النظيفة لعمليات صديقة للبيئة

تهدف HONOR -مع التركيز القوي على حماية البيئة أثناء الإنتاج والعمليات- إلى تقليل بصمتها البيئية من خلال الحفاظ على الطاقة وتقليل الانبعاثات. تعمل HONOR ، أثناء استكشاف استخدام الطاقة النظيفة لخفض انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون في منتزهها الصناعي، على تحسين إدارة المرافق لخفض استهلاك الطاقة في العمليات اليومية من خلال الاحتفاظ بسجلات الطاقة ومراقبة البيانات ذات الصلة وتحليلها.

تشجع HONOR موظفيها على تبني نمط العمل عن بعد من خلال الاستفادة من أدوات الاتصالات مثل مكالمات الصوت والفيديو لتقليل الحاجة إلى رحلات العمل. يُقدر أن هذا التغيير يقلل من انبعاثات الكربون بمقدار 26761 طنًا في السنة، وفقًا لتقرير بحثي شارك في تأليفه مركز التثقيف والاتصال البيئي التابع لوزارة حماية البيئة ^[1]. داخل مجمع HONOR الذكي للتصنيع الصناعي، تدير شركة HONOR ما قدره 146 طرق مستخدمة للنقل المكوكي، مما يوفر خيارًا أكثر مراعاة للبيئة للموظفين للانتقال إلى العمل وتقليل انبعاثات الكربون بشكل فعال بمقدار 1317 طنًا أخرى ^[2].

ستواصل HONOR ، باعتماد ممارسات الاستدامة مع شركاء الصناعة، تركيز جهودها البيئية والاجتماعية والحوكمة على المبادرات الخضراء. أثناء تحقيق التنمية المستدامة للشركة، تسعى HONOR جاهدة لبناء عالم ذكي جديد لكل شخص لديه الابتكار والتكنولوجيا.

نُبذة عن HONOR

HONOR هي شركة عالمية رائدة في مجال توفير الأجهزة الذكية. كما أنها تسعى لتصبح علامة تجارية عالمية في مجال التكنولوجيا وتسعى إلى إنشاء عالم ذكي جديد للجميع من خلال منتجاتها وخدماتها القوية. وهي ملتزمة، مع التركيز الثابت على البحث والتطوير، بتطوير التكنولوجيا التي تمكّن الأشخاص في جميع أنحاء العالم من تجاوز الأمر، ومنحهم الحرية في الإنجاز والقيام بالمزيد. وتقدم HONOR مجموعة من الهواتف الذكية والأجهزة اللوحية وأجهزة الكمبيوتر المحمولة والأجهزة القابلة للارتداء عالية الجودة لتناسب كل ميزانية، وتمكن مجموعة منتجات HONOR المبتكرة والمتميزة والموثوقة الأشخاص من أن يصبحوا نسخة أفضل لأنفسهم.
