SHENZHEN, China, July 17, 2020 — 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 hosted a live-streaming global 5G SA webinar in partnership with Omdia, a global leading technology research powerhouse.
At this webinar, experts from Omdia and ZTE have shared their insights on the global industry trends of 5G SA, and explored the various 5G SA deployment practices in China.
“56% of telecommunications service providers are preparing to deploy 5G core networks and 5G SA networks in the next 24 months,” said Dario Talmesio, Research Director of Service Providers Strategy at Omdia. “For that, China provides important learning opportunities from real-life implementations, as Chinese telcos are pioneering in 5G SA now.”
Jason Tu, Principle Scientist of NFV/SDN Products at ZTE, has elaborated the benefits of deploying 5G SA networks as well. “NSA/SA dual-mode terminals are now very popular in the market. The large -scale deployments of 5G SA networks in Chinese market have successfully verified the 5G SA end-to-end solutions,” said Jason.
“As the target architecture of 5G networks, 5G SA networks will help operators open a new 2B market. By selling different SLA-guaranteed network slicing to vertical industries, operators will obtain a new revenue source,” Jason added. He believed that speeding up the evolution to SA networks and even hopping directly to them seems to be a reasonable option now.
“With extensive experience in deploying 5G SA solutions in China, Asia and Europe, ZTE is well positioned to work with global operators and provide them with 5G common Core, SA radio networks or hybrid SA/NSA radio networks,” said Alex Wang, Managing Director of 5G RAN Solutions at ZTE.
ZTE has increased the coverage and capacity of 5G SA networks through FAST (FDD Assisted Super TDD), and has further enhanced the capability by virtue of low latency, mobile edge computing, network slicing and network sharing, according to Alex Wang.

Lemon Clove unveils next-gen Virtual Private Network service with speeds up to 118 Mbps, for more secure, faster browsing and increased productivity for offices.
SINGAPORE, July 17, 2020 – During the circuit breaker, people are not able to travel, but they can travel virtually with access to content across the world using Virtual Private Network Proxy Master – at lightning speed. With internet users at an all-time high due to COVID-19, internet security has been critically undermined, despite a rise in demand for streaming services. To meet this demand, Singapore-based Virtual Private Network Proxy Master recently launched its latest update with a new customer support feature to enhance the streaming and browsing experience, keeping customer and user data security for millions across the region.
The service will be offered for free on singular devices with no need to register, while premium users can connect up to 5 devices simultaneously.
Greater Browsing Opportunities
Challenging times often unveil unique businesses who can offer real solutions to the greater public. Virtual Private Network Proxy Master is a free-to-use virtual private network server that acts to mask IP addresses to help the average internet user bypass firewalls and access content.
The free Virtual Private Network service allows for unlimited streaming regardless of location. Users can enjoy renewed access to international film, television, and gaming content without their IP address being tracked or sold for marketing purposes. For example, city-state internet users can pose online as accessing sites and content from another country.
Run singlehandedly by Singapore-based company Lemon Clove, the highly acclaimed Virtual Private Network service has served the needs of over 150 million users in 137 countries to date. Boasting unlimited speed and high encryption bandwidth, this is done through rerouting a user’s internet connection across 6000 fast servers in 40 locations around the world.
The Hidden Benefits of Virtual Private Network
Perhaps a lesser-known benefit of a Virtual Private Network is that it protects internet users from vulnerabilities in public WIFI network connections, such as malware, hacking and viruses. The last thing a user needs during a cliff-hanging action scene is the blinking pop-up reminding them of that shopping cart they laid to rest a month ago.
For businesses, there are additional benefits, with secured browsing, including the freedom to access online resources and secure financial, user customer and business partner data – Adding an extra layer of security to business partnerships.
With privacy hanging onto a thin thread in the digital space, the lesser the footprint, the more one can navigate in the World Wide Web. This benefit is doubled when using a Virtual Private Network that can potentially unlock geo-restricted content, protect users’ identity, and speed up streaming all at once. By masking IP addresses, users can also avoid unnecessary price hikes by global e-commerce and online booking platforms which charge based on location.
Secured with Kill Switch, DNS Leak Protection, IP Address Leak Protection, no-log function and AES256 encryption – Virtual Private Network Proxy Master guarantees a safe and secure environment even with public Wi-Fi networks. For users who heavily rely on such services, the product offers a paid-for VIP premium version which allows connection to up to 5 devices simultaneously. This is compatible with iOS, Android (Only Virtual Private Network Proxy Master Pro), Windows and macOS.
Partnership With Codashop
Parent company Lemon Clove has also recently partnered with Singapore-based company Codashop, a gaming and entertainment top-up platform. Codashop is one of the largest and most trusted top-up websites for games and online entertainment in Asia and beyond. Targeting the million-dollar gaming market in Singapore, local gamers can now rejoice at increased access in the gaming world coupled with reduced lag and pings.
Virtual Private Network Proxy Master is listed under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR EU) and protected under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPC Singapore).
About Virtual Private Network Proxy Master
Virtual Private Network Proxy Master is one of many cutting-edge Virtual Private Network brands under parent company Lemon Clove. Virtual Private Network Proxy Master is using the industry-leading AES256 encryption method which provides a secure tunnel between users’ devices and the internet to protect online privacy and security.

STOCKHOLM, July 17, 2020 — The comments and figures in this report refer to continuing operations unless otherwise stated
Highlights of the second quarter of 2020
Net sales amounted to SEK 23,476m (29,232). Organic sales declined by 16.6%, due to lower volumes. The development of the coronavirus pandemic impacted market demand significantly in our main markets and also resulted in supply constraints in North America.
Operating income amounted to SEK -62m (1,219), corresponding to a margin of -0.3% (4.2).
Comprehensive cost measures executed to mitigate the effects from the pandemic on earnings.
Negative currency impact on operating income of approximately SEK 360m.
Income for the period amounted to SEK -141m (1,006), and earnings per share was SEK -0.49 (3.50).
Operating cash flow after investments was SEK 122m (-25).
President and CEO Jonas Samuelson’s comment
The coronavirus pandemic affects all of us, personally and professionally. Our top priority is to safeguard the health and safety of our employees and to ensure business continuity as household appliances are essential for consumers’ daily life.
During the months of March through May, we experienced significant volume drops across most of our regions due to the pandemic. As restrictions were eased or removed, demand picked up in June, even if the pace of recovery varies greatly between regions. In some markets, such as many European countries, the recovery pace in the latter part of the quarter has been faster than predicted. It was therefore encouraging that we in June had an organic growth of 3%. I am also pleased that despite challenging conditions we improved our mix this quarter as well. A good example is Australia where newly launched products continue to gain good traction.
We have also delivered on the temporary cost and cash mitigation actions initiated in March; well above our expectations. This shows that both agility and cost focus are part of our DNA. We continue to follow through on our re-engineering and streamlining initiatives, yielding further structural efficiencies to strengthen our cost competitiveness also longer term. As we earlier announced, the coronavirus situation leads to delays in some of our strategic investments of up to half a year and has also impacted the ramp-up of our new Anderson factory in the U.S. due to supply disruptions from Mexico and shutdowns/ absenteeism, which also have impacted all our North American plants. This of course pushes cost savings from these investments forward, but I want to emphasize that we still expect our re-engineering and streamlining initiatives to generate approximately SEK 3.5bn of annual cost savings, with full effect from 2024.
Despite the strong cost reduction execution in the quarter, it was not possible to offset both the 17% organic sales drop and a significant currency headwind and, as we have previously communicated, the quarter was slightly loss-making.
The pandemic situation remains fluid, creating an extraordinary degree of uncertainty over what the full global impact on demand will be for the second half of the year. It depends on several factors such as virus resurgences, the extent of additional restrictive measures and the effectiveness of the massive stimulus packages on consumer confidence and demand. In the near term, we see good demand, partially driven by pent-up demand from April/May and the strong stimulus programs. However, for the full year 2020 we continue to expect negative demand in most of our main markets. Hence, as previously communicated, we expect a material financial impact related to the pandemic for the full year 2020, primarily due to the impact in the second quarter.
The increased time spent at home due to the pandemic has quickly changed consumer behavior. The importance of high-quality appliances with relevant features and benefits become more apparent. On the same note, we see consumers paying more attention to health and hygiene; meaning there is an increasing need for products that can boost wellbeing such as vacuum cleaners, air and water purifiers, dish washers and washing machines. Finally, consumers have become more digital and online purchases are growing significantly. These changes in consumer behavior reinforce our strategy and we keep accelerating innovation to deliver relevant products and services, including further development of our e-commerce capabilities.
Our strong commitment to sustainability remains unchanged and we see an opportunity to increase sustainable efforts as people change their behaviors due to the crisis.
Although we are experiencing a challenging time, I am confident that Electrolux remains well positioned to create value. I especially want to thank my colleagues for their great commitment as we continue to execute on our strategy.

Details for participation by telephone are as follows:
This is information that AB Electrolux is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation and the Securities Markets Act. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact person set out above, at 0800 CET on July 17, 2020.
Sales were SEK 55.6(54.8) b. Sales adjusted for comparable units and currency were flat YoY.
Gross margin excluding restructuring charges improved to 38.2% (36.7%), including the earlier communicated inventory write-down related to Mainland China (SEK -0.9 b., which equals to -1.6 percentage points).
Operating income excluding restructuring charges improved to SEK 4.5 b. (8.2% operating margin) from SEK 3.9 b. (7.0% operating margin) driven by improvements in segment Digital Services.
Networks sales[1] increased by 4% YoY. Networks operating margin excluding restructuring charges was 14.1% (15.0%) impacted by strategic contracts and the inventory write-down, partly compensated by operational leverage and a favorable business mix.
Digital Services operating income excluding restructuring charges was SEK -0.7(-1.3) b. Gross margin improved driven mainly by higher software sales while sales1 declined by -5%.
Net income was SEK 2.6(1.8) b.
Free cash flow before M&A was SEK 3.2(1.6) b. Net cash June 30, 2020, was SEK 37.5(33.8) b.
The Covid-19 pandemic had a limited impact on operating income and cash flow in the quarter.
1 Adjusted for comparable units and currency.
Planning assumptions highlights (please see the quarterly report for complete planning assumptions)
With current visibility Group financial targets for 2020 and 2022 are maintained.
R&D investments in Digital Services are accelerated to capture additional business opportunities. In combination with lower sales, this will likely cause a delay of some quarters in reaching the 2020 financial target. 2022 operating margin target of 10-12% remains firm.

Comments from Borje Ekholm, President and CEO of Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC)
The human toll caused by Covid-19, directly and indirectly through a weak economy, is increasingly clear. We continue to put safety of our people as first priority, and more than 80% of our employees are currently working from home. Despite the difficult environment we delivered a solid result. Q2 organic1 sales were flat and gross margin[2] improved to 38.2% (36.7%) YoY, including negative effects from strategic contracts. Free cash flow before M&A improved to SEK 3.2(1.6) b. While the effects of Covid-19 create uncertainties, with current visibility we maintain the full-year targets for the Group.
Networks grew by 4% organically1 and the gross margin[2] was 40.5% (41.4%), absorbing a larger share of strategic contracts including 5G volumes in Mainland China where we also took an inventory write-down. The strengthened market position in Mainland China is strategically important as this market is expected to be a driver of critical future requirements and provide us with important scale. The Chinese 5G contracts are expected to be profitable over the life cycle, but had a negative contribution to gross margin in Q2.
Investments in R&D have established us as a leader in 5G, with proven performance and cost of ownership benefits for our customers. We have continued to increase our market share in several markets by leveraging our competitive product portfolio. Profitability in earlier awarded strategic contracts has improved according to plan. We consider strategic contracts to be a natural part of the business and we will stop our forward looking commentary unless there is an extraordinary impact.
Digital Services continues to execute on its turnaround plan with continuous improvements in the underlying business, and a Q2 gross margin2 reaching 43.6% (37.1%), supported by increased software sales. Sales is being impacted by the declining legacy portfolio and Covid-19-related market uncertainty and we expect this negative impact to continue throughout the year. There is however a strong demand for our cloud-native and 5G portfolio, and we have recorded several important tier 1 customer wins in 5G Core that will generate revenues in 2021 and beyond. Encouraged by the success of our offering, we have decided to accelerate R&D investments. These investments have a positive long-term value but will result in increased R&D costs. We are for this reason, in combination with the lower sales, likely to see a delay of some quarters in reaching the 2020 target of low single-digit margin for Digital Services, however, we are staying firm on our 2022 operating margin2 target of 10-12%.
Our patent licensing business continues to perform well due to our strong IPR portfolio. Licensing agreements are often multi-year and term-based and renewals normally require negotiations, particularly in conjunction with introducing new standards such as 5G. Next year, certain agreements are up for renewal and royalty payments can be temporarily affected. The inclusion of 5G patents is expected to strengthen our IPR business further.
At Ericsson, we are committed to conducting business responsibly and with integrity. We continue our efforts to strengthen and improve our Ethics and Compliance program. In the quarter, the three-year term of the monitorship under the resolution with the U.S. authorities started. We look forward to working together with the independent compliance monitor and to benefit from his extensive experience. We fully believe this will help us reach our ambitions.
As we prepare to exit the crisis caused by Covid-19, there is a need to restart economies and make strategic, forward looking investments which we suggest must include the future digital infrastructure. We see many regions around the world increasing investments in this space and as a European company we are concerned that Europe will fall behind. As critical national infrastructure, 5G will be a key determinant for long-term competitiveness of the general economy, and act as a stimulant to accelerate economic growth, attract future investments and speed up technology innovation. I believe Europe must prioritize actions to incentivize investments in the digital infrastructure, to include lowering the cost and speeding up the availability of spectrum.
We are ready to deliver on the promises of 5G, based on our strong 5G portfolio and a resilient balance sheet. We remain positive on the longer-term outlook. Some customers are accelerating their investments while others are temporarily cautious. With current visibility we maintain the Group targets for 2020 and 2022.
Stay healthy and well.

Ruark Audio just launched in Malaysia. Malaysia is also the first market to the Ruark Audio R3. The new Bluetooth enabled speakers is so much more than just a table top speaker though.
It packs a very powerful class A-B amplifier for superior sound quality even if you compare it to the likes of Senheiser or even Bose. It is just as pricey too at MYR 3,999. It is also a piece of furniture though.
The wood finish is actual wood, instead of laminated MDF boards. It is a piece of decoration in your living room, or your study, or even your bedroom. It can even fit your antique furniture if you really like.
It is not an antique museum piece though. It is Bluetooth enabled, WiFi enabled, Internet enabled, and you can even put a CD into it. It is as modern as the National Art Gallery of Singapore.
The Ruark Audio R3 will be available in Malaysia at the end of August at retail partners accross Malaysia. There are no available colour options available, just that every piece of Ruark Audio’s loudspeakers come from actual wood, so you get different grains. As mentioned, it will be priced at MYR 3,999. More information can be found on their website.

The COVID-19 global situation is a big one. It changed so many things for us. It changed the way we live, and definitely the way we work and stay productive. At the back of it all, tech companies all over the world are becoming the backbones of plenty of organisations. The ‘work from home’ trend is booming in a way never before seen.
For a company like Red Hat, transforming from an office based workspace to home based workspace is not necessarily complex. It may not be as straightforward as they make it seem though. There are still plenty of considerations for them and their clients when it comes to the quarantine procedures and working procedures.
What happens to their clients? What happens to the ongoing projects with the Open Innovation Labs? What happens to Red Hat globally? What do we do, as companies in this age?
In this Tech & Tonic special, we sit down with Eric Quah of Red Hat to find out a little bit more on their efforts to normalise during the COVID-19 crisis. Of course, we want to know how we can work a little normally at this time as well. If we learnt a thing or two in this session, we believe you might as well.
SHENZHEN, China, July 17, 2020 — Oucica, a subsidiary of Huntkey, has announced the availability of its small-size desktop air purifier – the DJ010. The purifier is integrated with photocatalyst and HEPA filters, which is ideal for removing bacteria, viruses, chemical vapors, odors, haze particles and many more. It is well-suited for small working rooms or living rooms.
The key feature of the DJ010 is air purification by photocatalyst. Photocatalyst is a catalyst that can activate chemical reactions like decomposing organic compounds into carbon dioxide and water. By this means, a photocatalyst air purifier is able to clean air by removing stubborn airborne hazards like viruses and bacteria, which is a key difference between photocatalyst air purifiers and the ordinary ones.
The DJ010 is designed like an egg. It measures a dimension of Φ108*160mm and its air volume is 10cbm/h at the maximum, which is suitable for air cleaning for a room space of 8-10cbm. It features a standby consumption of lower than 200mW, as well as a noise level of 38dB(A) at the maximum. For more product information, please visit: http://en.huntkey.com/
Oucica, a subsidiary of Huntkey, specializes in the development of photocatalyst air purifiers. To improve the air quality of working, living or studying, it has developed a series of air purifiers including model KJ380 for large spaces, CJ001 for car sterilizing and DJ010 for desktops.

Perhaps a lesser-known benefit of a VPN is that it protects internet users from vulnerabilities in public WIFI network connections, such as malware, hacking and viruses. The last thing a user needs during a cliff-hanging action scene is the blinking pop-up reminding them of that shopping cart they laid to rest a month ago.
For businesses, there are additional benefits, with secured browsing, including the freedom to access online resources and secure financial, user customer and business partner data – Adding an extra layer of security to business partnerships.
With privacy hanging onto a thin thread in the digital space, the lesser the footprint, the more one can navigate in the World Wide Web. This benefit is doubled when using a VPN that can potentially unlock geo-restricted content, protect users’ identity, and speed up streaming all at once. By masking IP addresses, users can also avoid unnecessary price hikes by global e-commerce and online booking platforms which charge based on location.
