Expo 2020: Haier Smart Home Makes its Mark in the Carbon Neutral World with Customized Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller Solution at China Pavilion

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 8, 2021 — Haier Smart Home ("Haier", Shanghai: 600690), the world’s leading home appliance brand and smart home ecosystem builder, has made waves globally with its customized Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller system ("the System") at Expo 2020 Dubai, which kicked off on October 1. The system was used at the "The Light of China" Pavilion — one of the largest pavilions at this year’s Expo.

Expo 2020: Haier Smart Home Makes its Mark in the Carbon Neutral World with Customized Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller system at China Pavilion.
Expo 2020: Haier Smart Home Makes its Mark in the Carbon Neutral World with Customized Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller system at China Pavilion.

Fully customized by Haier Commercial Air Conditioning, the System integrates a number of leading global technologies, including Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller and multiple connections through an IoT hub. Haier air conditioning includes features such as self-connectivity, self-energy saving and self-operation, with different solutions tailored for individual spaces within the Pavilion. Haier’s air conditioning system was realized to cover the entire space whilst reducing energy consumption — leaving a cool and comfortable first impression for visitors.

Haier Commercial Air Conditioning adapted the system to maintain efficient and stable operations and run without degradation in an environment where temperatures soar to 50°C. "In response to the unique air conditioning requirements of Dubai’s tropical climate, Haier has added a separate vapor-liquid separator to mitigate high ambient temperatures, which can leave the shaft vulnerable to the impacts of coolant during the compressor start-up process," Zhan Jie, General Manager of Haier Commercial AC Overseas Market introduced. "In addition, the compression system features both a high and low-pressure side for different ratios, and Haier’s patented high-pressure ratio shutdown control scheme effectively protects the compressor bearings."

The System has also been customized to account for the shortage of local water resources in Dubai and the unique conditions required for seawater desalination. The System uses air-cooling to save precious water resources. Furthermore, the internal configuration of the air conditioning features a customized high static pressure duct and ball spout jet were customized for the overall design of the China Pavilion.

Haier Commercial Air Conditioning has further adapted its system to different settings throughout the conference –  maintaining a constant temperature and humidity level for open area, whilst ensuring to operates with customized frequency conventions for enclosed spaces. The heat exchanger helps the space meet fresh air volume standards, while the offices have an energy-saving solution to reach healthy air requirements of 30m³/h/person.

In line with global trends towards carbon neutrality, Haier Commercial Air Conditioning designed its system to reduce carbon emissions and support the development of green venue spaces. The system halves energy and electricity requirements compared to ordinary central air-conditioning systems — even under the rigorous demands of Dubai’s high temperatures.

Smart asks Globe to fix its MNP porting issues

MANILA, Philippines, Oct. 7, 2021 — Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), a subsidiary of PLDT, Inc., has asked Globe Telecom, Inc. (Globe) to remedy and resolve the serious and persistent concerns affecting Globe customers wanting to port in or transfer to Smart but have been unable to do so seamlessly and without fault or difficulty, due to Globe’s system-readiness issues and general unpreparedness to implement the Mobile Number Portability Act (Republic Act No. 11202) or the MNP Law.

The MNP Law guarantees customers the ease of switching network within the mandatory period of 48 hours without the need of changing their mobile number starting September 30, 2021, and prohibits the denial or withholding of, or delay in providing, the benefits of the law to a qualified customer.

Smart’s move comes a day after Smart formally asked the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to look into why Globe’s mobile service provider GOMO had failed to take part in the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) launch last September 30th. Globe had advised customers on September 29th that MNP will be available on GOMO only this month, due to "unavoidable technical issues".

In a letter to Globe copied today to NTC Commissioner Gamaliel A. Cordoba, Smart Regulatory Affairs’ Manager Atty. Kenneth E. Regañon wrote, "Globe’s constructive denial of its customers’ choice to switch to Smart seamlessly without the hassle of changing their mobile number, which seemingly stem from system errors and the apparent general unpreparedness of Globe sales force to implement the MNP Law, ultimately compromise, if not maim the spirit of the law, which is to honor and protect the customers’ choice of their preferred network. Given all the serious shortcomings in the first 72 hours, carried over and magnified in the first week of implementation of the MNP Law with no committed timelines for permanent fixes, the pressing issues are beyond just ‘hiccups’."

Smart has substantiated its concerns in three separate letters over the past week, submitted to the Telecommunications Connectivity Inc. (TCI), the joint venture of the mobile service providers that provides number porting services under the MNP Law.

Smart has listed the following Globe acts and omissions that frustrate the exercise by Globe customers of their right to switch to Smart seamlessly without changing their mobile number:

1)  The rejection by the Globe system of the "porting" or transfer request of a Globe customer with a Globe-issued valid unique subscriber codes (USCs). A USC constitutes proof that the customer has been pre-cleared by Globe for transfer to Smart. However, when the Globe customer comes to Smart stores to transfer to Smart, Globe’s system rejects the request due to "bundled services".  Globe has admitted that this is a system error and that the customer is entitled to port in to Smart, but has failed to fix the system error to date. After one week, Globe’s system continues to generate the same error to the frustration of its customers wanting to transfer to Smart.

"Globe has since attempted to apply a fix on October 4, but unfortunately, the invalid rejects continued even after the attempted fix. Globe also offered a workaround or interim solution but unfortunately, when we attempt to re-trigger or re-encode the port in requests into our system, some requests still end up getting rejected by Globe. On top of that, the workaround is very tedious for the Smart frontliners and inconvenient for the customers as well."

As of October 5, Smart logged a 38% rejection rate by Globe due to "technical issues". The "data fix" is not generating the results Smart needs to complete the porting in of Globe customers to Smart. "We demand a firm commitment on timelines so we can handle appropriately and cascade with our store frontliners accordingly," said Regañon. "Globe’s shortcomings are seriously putting a strain on our own resources as we implement extraordinary measures to bridge the serious gaps that Globe’s issues have created, and keep ported customers digitally connected. These shortcomings reveal a failure on the part of Globe to give its customers the freedom to keep their mobile numbers when they choose to switch to their preferred mobile network. Moreover, there is no urgency to commit to defined timelines for permanent fixes." 

2) While the GCash functionalities continue to work after porting, ported customers are unable to buy load using their GCash, resulting in a less than seamless transfer for Globe customers.

In contrast, Smart customers that ported out to Globe continue to enjoy the full functionalities of PayMaya, including buying load using PayMaya, because Smart anticipated this issue and addressed it in time for the MNP launch.  In the meantime, Smart is providing all the assistance to Globe customers that have transferred or ported in to Smart by offering them PayMaya as an alternative loading wallet.

Globe has yet to provide a timeline to resolve this critical issue but, in what appears to be a statement oblivious of the hardships being suffered by former Globe customers that ported in to Smart, and with a hint of righteousness, Globe said in its letter dated October 3 addressed to TCI:

"There should be no reason for Smart to fret on PayMaya’s momentary advantage of being able to be a top up channel for ported numbers. Moreover, there are other available channels for topping up ported numbers."

New Accedian Research Finds 76% of Manufacturers Plan to Use Private 5G by 2024

Despite overwhelming inclination, barriers to 5G adoption remain, including high cost, deployment difficulty and management complexity

MONTREAL, Canada, Sept. 29, 2021Accedian, a leader in performance analytics, cybersecurity threat detection and end user experience solutions, today released new analyst research on the future of 5G in manufacturing. Conducted in partnership with Analysys Mason, a leading management consultancy focused on telecoms, media and technology (TMT), the research found that while 76% of manufacturers plan to use private 5G locally by 2024, key barriers to adoption include management complexity, difficulty of deployment and high costs. 

Manufacturing holds extreme promise in being transformed through 5G network adoption. As a sector largely reliant on the quality of connections between technologies and machines, 5G can expedite processes, reduce latency, enable automation and the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and augmented reality (AR). Most manufacturers agree that high reliability (82%), security (78%) and support for low-latency applications (75%) make a 5G private network an attractive choice. 

"5G is set to transform industries, and no sector is more ripe for this than manufacturing," says Sergio Bea, VP of Global Enterprise and Channels, Accedian. "Our research with Analysys Mason clearly shows the appetite for adoption among manufacturers is there, but network performance monitoring and management remain barriers to entry. With the right network monitoring tools, IT teams at factories can be sure they’ll have both the visibility and security they need to make 5G adoption a success."

More than 200 respondents from Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States across six verticals provided insights into private 5G network adoption. 

Key highlights from the research include:

  • The most likely types of 5G deployments are: hybrid models (45%) and network slice (35%); while 18% of manufacturing respondents prefer fully private on-prem networks.
  • Security (63%) is the biggest factor influencing the choice of 5G deployment model, followed by network performance (49%), speed/simplicity of deployment (49%), application performance (45%) and data privacy (43%).
  • In terms of barriers to adoption, respondents considering a hybrid network model are most concerned about management complexity (43%).
  • Most agree that important metrics to monitor are application performance KPIs (61%), closely followed by network performance KPIs (59%) and security KPIs (55%).     

There is a complex balance of risks and deployment choices that manufacturers will need to make as they move forward with 5G.

"Our research shows there is appetite for 5G in the manufacturing industry, which means there’s also immense opportunity for service providers to uplevel their relationships with factories, as well," says Michele Mackenzie, Principal Analyst, IoT and private networks, Analysys Mason. "CSPs need to capitalize on this momentum to become more than just vendors, but strategic partners to manufacturing organizations looking to navigate the future of the sector."

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 29, 2021 — Huawei Indonesia has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting cyber security knowledge sharing through the renewal of the MoU on cyber security cooperation yesterday with Indonesia’s highest cyber security body National Cyber and Crypto Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BSSN). Huawei Indonesia and BSSN sealed off a new, tripartite cooperation agreement (PKS) with Institut Teknologi Del (IT Del). The signing ceremony was witnessed by Gen. (ret.)

Minister Luhut also held a high-level discussion with Mr. Ren to mark a renewed collaboration and long-term commitment of the leading global ICT provider, especially in cyber security enhancement in Indonesia. Luhut praised highly Huawei to Mr. Ren. "You are lucky to have the team here for making Huawei popular and the technology has been widely used. The establishment of Huawei Academy in Indonesia and the tripartite Cooperation between Huawei, the National Cyber and Crypto Agency and IT Del, also shown Huawei commitment to not only building digital infrastructure in Indonesia, but also digital human resources development and transfer of high technology," Luhut said. "I am sure Huawei could make significant contribution to Indonesia’s Green Development and Smart Future. In the next few years, digital property will be one of the most valuable assets in the next generation."

"Indonesia is a beautiful and great nation, boasting long coastal lines, a wealth of natural resources, and a wide variety of agricultural produce," Mr. Ren, spoke highly of Indonesia. He opined that besides representing a large, untapped market for Indonesian exports, China also has a few examples of utilizing technology to improve vital operations. For example, Indonesia can learn to integrate intelligence into the day-to-day running of the nation’s many strategic ports and airports, or alternatively implement 5G, AI, wireless, and radar technologies to improve safety at coal mines to a substantial degree.

"Huawei thanks Indonesia for its longstanding support for our local team in the country. With the great trend towards collaboration and shared success between China and Indonesia, based on respecting each other’s sovereignty integrity, political systems, and social customs, we believe that together we will lay the foundation for Indonesia’s future," Mr. Ren reaffirmed.

The signing of the MoU and cooperation agreement was also attended by Lt Gen (ret.) Hinsa Siburian, BSSN chief, and Prof. Ir. Togar M. Simatupang M, Tech. Ph.D, IT Del rector.

Hinsa lauded Huawei for the close collaboration since the cooperation was inked in 2019. In his welcome remark, Mr. Jacky Chen, Huawei Indonesia CEO, said, "The renewal of the MoU marks a new milestone in our joint cyber security initiative as it will involve more universities and reach out wider public to benefit in this program." Nearly 7,000 government officials and civil servants have benefited from the collaboration between Huawei and BSSN since 2019 through various training activities, webinars and joint programs.
