Viettel, Singtel partner on Vietnam-Singapore cable: Viettel Group reached a deal with Singtel to jointly develop a submarine cable system directly connecting Vietnam and Singapore, adding hundreds of Tb/s to the operators’ international connectivity capacity when operational in Q2 2027. In a joint statement, the operators noted they will build the Vietnam-Singapore (VTS) cable with a configuration of eight fibre pairs using the most advanced wavelength division multiplexing technology. Viettel will manage the main trunk landing station in Vietnam, while Singtel will manage the Singapore one. The cable also is expected to have branch landing stations in Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia.  Viettel, the largest operators in Vietnam with 61.8 million mobile connections at end-March, explained that in addition to providing a large amount of high-speed capacity, VTS will open “a new connection direction to the south”, enhancing the redundancy and security of its international connection infrastructure. The project is Viettel’s seventh investment in submarine cable systems. As part of Vietnam’s digital strategy, the Ministry of Information and Communications identified international optical cables as a critical component of the country’s digital infrastructure, suggesting the country needs to increase the total number of submarine cables to 15 systems with a total capacity of at least 334Tb/s by 2030.

CHINA   MIIT’S ANNOUNCEMENT NO. 77 [2024]: NOTICE ON ISSUING THE "INTERIM PROVISIONS ON THE RADIO MANAGEMENT OF ULTRA-WIDEBAND (UWB) RADIO TRANSMISSION EQUIPMENT." The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has published the interim provisions "MIIT No. 77 [2024]” for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) equipment, which will take effect on August 1, 2025. At that time, the previous UWB technology regulation, "MIIT No. 354 [2008]," will be abolished. Type approvals or extensions that meet the original provisions before the implementation of "MIIT No. 77 [2024]" on August 1, 2025, will be processed as usual. After this date, only submissions that comply with the new requirements will be accepted. UWB radio transmission equipment refers to radio transmission equipment with a transmitting signal bandwidth (-10dB bandwidth) of not less than 500MHz, which is mainly used in short-distance and high-speed wireless data communication, positioning, ranging, perception and other fields, and is used at a frequency of 7163-8812 MHz. These provisions apply to the development, production, import, sale and use of UWB radio transmission equipment. Contact us at [email protected] for more information

"NEC Corporation and NTT Corporation announced that they have successfully conducted a first-of-its-kind transoceanic-class 7,280km transmission experiment using a coupled 12-core multicore fiber (*1), which consists of 12 optical signal transmission paths in a standard outer diameter optical fiber (0.125 mm). This achievement is expected to be a next-generation transmission infrastructure technology that will contribute to the realization of large-capacity optical networks, including future optical submarine cables" https://lnkd.in/dwMff9bt

Network synchronization is the cornerstone of optimal RAN performance and technologies like LTE TDD, Elastic RAN, Advanced RAN Coordination, and NR TDD RAN rely heavily on precise frequency, time, and phase synchronization.               However we have observed that recent disruptions in GNSS have raised concerns, stemming from natural phenomena like solar flares to the accessibility of low-cost jamming equipment. We have to make sure we navigate these challenges and ensure the resilience of our mobile network synchronization solutions.   Which brings me our latest paper that I have commissioned on this very topic: Role of synchronization in empowering 5G networks. It's packed with valuable insights and actionable recommendations, including setting the right parameters, tracking multiple GNSS services, leveraging multi-band GNSS, and utilizing network-based secondary timing sources like the cesium clock.               If you'd like to take the opportunity to delve deeper into the world of synchronization, I'd recommend you to register and download the paper that'll help you navigate the complexities of mobile network synchronization with confidence.   #EricssonMEA #Synchronization #5G #Connectivity   https://lnkd.in/dWMExi4c

🚆 Shaping the Future of Railway Communications with 5G! Manfred Taferner, Mission Critical Networks Architect at Kontron Transportation, recently contributed to the article "5G-RACOM – field study on hybrid FRMCS networks for resilient rail communications." The 5G-RACOM project explores efficient, reliable, and sustainable applications of the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS). As the successor to GSM-R, FRMCS will provide real-time, high-performance train-to-ground communication using 5G technology, driving the digital transformation of railway operations. “5G-RACOM Project provides valuable insights through lab and real-world testing of Multipath technology and thus can accelerate Multipath implementation for FRMCS,” says Manfred Taferner. ⏩ https://lnkd.in/dqWpA3FP #kontrontransportation #railwaysolution #passion4railways #dedication4railways #trustedpartner #railwaydedicatednetwork #5G #FRMCS
