Transformation of Industry Through 5G Network – Focus and Look Indoors

Now
that 5G is here, the much anticipated infrastructure will enable a smarter and
more connected world promised to drive digital economies for governments, to
create new monetization opportunities for businesses and offer a real
perceivable difference over 4G for consumers.

According
to a recent Frost & Sullivan survey conducted at the 5
th
 Annual
Asia Pacific Spectrum Management Conference held in Kuala Lumpur in March 2019,
79% of respondents said that they will rate their mobile operator according to
the indoor network quality that they experience. An overwhelming 93% of Malaysian
respondents agreed that Digital Indoor Systems (DIS) availability was
important. These statistics represent the changing needs on the demand side across
the region that needs to be addressed.

With 80% of network traffic now originating from indoors, it is not hard to see that indoor use cases will become a key driver of 5G network. As the number of 5G launches increase in number, mobile data usage will increase exponentially alongside new applications such as Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), 8K live video streaming and location-based services (LBS). All of which will primarily take place indoors.

“This
means that the improving customer experience indoors to monetize 5G will become
a priority and of utmost importance. This coupled with users increasingly
becoming critical of their mobile operators when it comes to the indoor
environment require that mobile operators focus on indoors for the next wave of
growth,” said Mei Lee Quah, Associate Director, ICT, Frost & Sullivan
Asia-Pacific.

5G
has the potential to transform industry verticals through 5G indoor
connectivity but certain key verticals will experience stronger growth than
others. A key success factor for DIS would be to focus on key verticals where
there will be stronger growth and a clearer value proposition for indoor 5G
while solving pain points for users. Retail, media and entertainment, tourism
and hospitality, and industrial manufacturing are some examples of the more
promising key verticals.

Within retail, shopping malls around the world
are transforming into shopping experience centers. They are now providing value
add network based services such as AR/VR game services and heat maps to drive
retail spend.
Within media and entertainment, 5G stadiums seek
to offer unique, thrilling experiences for audiences using AR to draw the
crowds in. News spreads quickly of the use of an AR fire-breathing wyvern on
opening day 2019 at Munhak Baseball Stadium in South Korea.
Within tourism and hospitality, smart hotel
concepts are paving the way for the industry to soar to greater heights in
customer experience. The InterContinental Shenzhen in China recently initiated
the industry’s first end-to-end 5G network that will offer guests an innovative,
luxury experience.
Within industrial manufacturing, increasing cost
pressure is driving the need for high network availability to support use of
augmented remote service assistance and real-time and historical data for
predictive analysis to improve operational efficiency and productivity.

Given
the advantages of DIS over the conventional Distributed Antenna System (DAS),
mobile operators worldwide have already begun the transition from DAS to DIS.To date, the most notable progress has
been in China with its achievement of about 80% penetration for new indoor
system deployments.

“The nation as a whole has achieved consensus on what is needed to progress in terms of indoor network coverage and regulators have developed performance test criteria for 5G indoor scenarios,” said Quah. “This soon to be ubiquitous indoor experience will facilitate the many applications soon to entice China’s millennials that have high spending power. Wechat’s 1 million mini programs

are only an indicator of what might be facilitated within China’s new indoor environment.”

Regionally,
a common theme across the case studies of mobile operators implementing DIS show
that mobile operators are looking for cost effective, future-proof solutions
(e.g. 5G-ready) that can be deployed quickly. For example, HKT in Hong Kong implemented
DIS to reduce CAPEX while sharing the 5G-ready solution and providing high
quality mobile data service to subscribers. Turkcell in Turkey leveraged on DIS
for the shorter construction time and 5G-readiness and Sichuan Mobile in China deployed
DIS in office buildings, shopping malls and hospitals to refresh and improve
existing indoor application coverage.

Quah concludes, “Conventional economics dictate that the supply side needs to be optimized to address changes on the demand side. There is no doubt that indoor use cases will become a key driver of 5G network and correspondingly users will make increasing demands on their mobile operator when it comes to the indoor environment. Focus needs to shift to transforming indoors for DIS to enable 5G and on specific key verticals for the next wave of growth to happen. 5G is here, it is time for transformation of the indoors environment, especially in Malaysia.”

clarity. This is enhanced by the “four-in-one-pixel” technology that combines
four pixels into one large pixel in the main rear camera. This technology gives
high-quality 12MP photos including those taken in the dark.

Even with space constraints in a European Town, one is able to see more of this majestic tree with the Super Wide Angle feature turned on. Details in the wide angle shot are also not compromised.

The Super Wide-Angle Camera can be
used in multiple settings. While on vacation, one can use it to capture the
scene and feel at the time without the use of a DSLR. See more of your vacation
in one snap.

Why an Inverter Air Conditioner is the Better Choice for Your Home

Introduction

When considering installing air conditioners in your home, there are various factors you’ll need to take into account – availability and location of natural ventilation, room size, floor plan, where the sun sits during the hottest part of the day and even the amount of natural shade outdoors.

One of the more important choices you’ll be faced with is whether to get
a conventional energy-efficient air conditioner or a smart inverter system.
While typically costing more at purchase and installation, an inverter system
is the latest and most energy efficient technology for air conditioners and
offer a number of long-term benefits to homeowners.

But first, what is the difference between the two?

The difference between inverter and non-inverter air conditioners

Non-Inverter Air Conditioners

Non-inverter air
conditioners operate on a fixed amount of power at a fixed speed. This means
the compressor has to stop and start again to maintain the desired room
temperature. When it is on, it works at full capacity consuming full
electricity. When the thermostat reaches the required temperature setting, the
compressor stops and the fan continues to function. When the thermostat senses
that the temperature in the room has fluctuated, the compressor starts again.
This wastes energy and can cause some discomfort due to the temperature
fluctuations.

Inverter Air Conditioners

This innovative technology
is now being used globally for air conditioners and refrigerators alike and the
take-up rate is increasing globally due to the benefits delivered.

In inverter air conditioning systems, the compressor does not alternate between off and on. It’s always on but the technology graduates the speed of the compressor, a little like using the accelerator in your car to remain at a constant speed depending on the terrain and roads that you’re navigating.

Let’s take a look at the top advantages of an inverter air conditioner

It’s more energy efficient
In an inverter kind of setting, although the compressor is always turned on, it draws less power or more depending on the temperature of the incoming air and the setting adjusted in the thermostat. Because of this design, versus the start-stop system of a non-inverter air conditioner, inverter units offer more optimal energy efficiency resulting in up to 30-50% savings in electricity bills.

It’s more eco-friendly
When compared to non-inverter air conditioners, inverter air conditioners are much friendlier to the environment owing to their sudden fluctuation detection capabilities and automatic adjustments made to the compressor speed. This highly sophisticated yet innovative mechanism helps save energy, proving beneficial to the environment.
These types of air conditioners also often use more environment-friendly refrigerant gas like R410A and R-32, which does not cause harmful effects like greenhouse gases and contributes less to global warming.

Keeping Your Home Clean, Healthy, and Pollution-Free

It is more quiet
Inverter air conditioners are silent compared to non-inverter ones because of how the compressor operates. It eliminates the jerky start-up sound and there is also less noise inside the room because there is no noise from the rush of refrigerant gas that comes with non-inverter air conditioners.

It is more durable
The technology and hardware employed in inverter air conditioners not only makes the cooling and heating effect more efficient, but also makes the unit last long. Contrary to the operation of a non-inverter unit, the inverter uses less power and as a result they work less, meaning that they are less prone to wear and tear.

Faster Cooling/Heating
The inverter system is able to cool and heat your room faster than its non-inverter counterpart. This is due to the fact that an inverter air conditioner unit operates on a variable speed compressor rather than at a fixed speed one. This process ensures rapid air conditioning effects via faster variable speed allowing the compressor to run at full power only when required while constantly regulating the temperature to your comfort.

Smart Capabilities
A smart inverter air conditioner can also provide you complete control over energy consumption and usage through your PC and portable smart devices. Moreover, it will give you complete insights about all technical metrics such as watts, voltages, current and units consumed. A smart system also allows you to schedule the air conditioner to automatically turn itself on or off.

Rushabh Doshi, Research Director at Canalys, quoted that “Vivo’s expensive bets on the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket are paying off and they have also made several shrewd marketing investments, which also include signing internationally popular Bollywood actor Aamir Khan as its brand ambassador.” Vivo was said to have paid six times the previous amount to retain title sponsorship of the IPL, touted to be the world’s richest league.

Vivo Malaysia’s Chief Executive Officer, Mike Xu, said that “We are very
inspired and motivated to see such growth results of Vivo Smartphones in India.
I am confident that we will also continue to capture higher market share in
Malaysia with the great products that we have to offer.

Despite Vivo’s performance, the Indian smartphone market was flat,
growing by under 2% to 30.1 million units.

Canon Nurtures The Love In Young Children On National Camera Day

If we could see the world through the eyes of children, we
would see the magic in everything!

In conjunction with National Camera Day, Canon Marketing Malaysia is creating the awareness of capturing the little things in life and transforming them into beautiful memories. Canon made this possible for 38 children from 3 orphanage homes, Rumah Hope, Shelter Home and Rumah Amal Telaga Kasih in its continuous effort to give back to the community and to instil the love for photography.

Held at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC), the children were taught the fundamentals of photography by the Canon EOS Youth Ambassadors. Armed with a unit of the mirrorless camera each, their skills were put to the test as they ventured around KLPAC to capture scenic elements and portrait-themed photography. Teams with the top 3 most creative and inspiring photos took home prizes.

“I wasn’t sure how to use the camera at first, but the
‘Abang’ taught us how to use them. He took a few shots and showed us how a good
photo looks like. Today’s programme is fun, I wish it could be longer!” said
Imran, one of the participants. When asked about his winning shot, he said “I
am happy that I manage to get a good photo of my friends, especially when they
are laughing. I know it’s a good photo and it took me only 2 clicks!” said the
proud 12 years old.

Canon takes pride in not only spreading the love of photography to everyone; but also made storytelling easier for people from all walks of life regardless of their background during this National Camera Day.

approach business model where the consumers can only see what’s currently
playing at their favourite theatre,” said Dr. Man-Nang Chong, founder, chairman
and CEO of GDC Technology. “This new approach is modelled after home streaming
platforms by letting consumers decide what they want to see, when they want to
see it, and where they want to see it, but on the big screen.”

Dr. Chong added, “With all the various online
streaming options, the challenge lies in creating a unique experience for
audiences within the existing eco-system. Any innovation which is created must
be able to connect all important stakeholders on the cinema exhibition industry,
which means it needs to be consumer facing, tech-driven, and automated to make
it sustainable in the long run.”

GSC will be launching GoGoCinema at a few of its
premium flagship sites in Malaysia by the end of 2019. Following these, GoGoCinema
services would be expanded to other locations gradually.

Qualcomm and ZTE to Advance 5G Cloud Gaming on Live Networks

ZTE Corporation today announced a joint demonstration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated of 5G-powered cloud gaming on a live 5G network. The demonstration – which utilizes the cloud gaming solutions from Tencent Instant Play on 5G smartphones from OnePlus, Vivo, Xiaomi and ZTE – aims to demonstrate that console-quality mobile gaming experiences are achievable over live 5G networks and show the growth opportunity for the cloud-gaming ecosystem.

The demos will use China Telecom’s live 5G network, ZTE’s 5G NR commercial system infrastructure, and 5G commercial smartphones featuring the flagship Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 855 Mobile Platform with the Snapdragon X50 5G Modem with integrated RF transceiver and Qualcomm Technologies’ RF Front-End (RFFE) solutions.

Cloud gaming solutions provided by Tencent Instant Play leverage the cloud’s capabilities for rendering and processing, while utilizing high-speed 5G network to send users’ commands to the cloud which streams back the rendered frames to local devices. This allows users instant access to graphically demanding games via 5G smartphones without the need to download and install on the devices, delivering a smooth “games on demand” experience.

All premium 5G smartphones based on the Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform include Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Elite Gaming features – providing mobile gamers with a competitive edge for both on-device and cloud-based game experiences.

“We believe that cloud gaming is one of the key trends in the future of the entertainment industry. The arrival of 5G is expected to set off a new revolution in cloud gaming. 5G’s high speed and low latency make it an ideal connectivity fabric for cloud gaming which can support improved image quality, provide more fluent interactive experience, and effectively reduce the cost per user of services, thereby bringing high-quality gaming experiences to a wider range of users,” said Jian Wang, head of operations, Tencent Instant Play. “We will continue to work on the enhanced cloud gaming experience based on various gaming scenarios and stay focused on innovative experience and high-quality content.”

Samsung Announces Q Series Soundbars For True Surround Audio Experiences

The New Soundbars Feature a Harman Kardon Certification, New Technology for Better Sound Quality, and Smarter Compatibility

Samsung Malaysia Electronics has announced the release of four new Q Series sound bars that feature the Samsung Acoustic Beam technology and the new Adaptive Sound feature. As part of the Samsung Audio Lab and Harman Kardon collaboration, the HW-Q90R, HW-Q80R, HW-Q70R and HW-Q60R sound bars are smarter than ever, offering an immersive surround sound experience for home theaters.

“The new Q-Series sound bars carry a sound
quality that has been revitalized by experts and feature designs that offer an
appealing home aesthetic to create a more superior home theater experience for
movie and audio buffs. The Adaptive Sound feature in our Q-Series sound bars understands
the different sound settings and optimizes them according to the scene so that
listeners can enjoy even more realistic sound for every genre of content,” said
Jimmy Tan, Head of Consumer
Electronics, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

HW-Q70R & HW Q60R

Utilizing Adaptive Sound technology, the HW-Q70R and HW-Q60R sound bars can analyze content played on a viewer’s TV and adjust to ideal sound settings for any given scene. Also, the HW-Q70R and HW-Q60R will automatically switch to adaptive sound mode when Samsung 2019 QLED TV is connected and its AI mode is switched on.

The sound bars also offer Samsung’s
proprietary Acoustic Beam technology feature. The Acoustic Beam technology uses
an array of holes in the speaker to create a more dynamic, panoramic
soundscape. These features will fill every corner of the room through a wide
soundscape with full sound.

In addition, the HW-Q70R sound bar is
equipped with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive, 360-degree surround
sound technology, which previously was only available in high-end Samsung
Soundbar models such as the HW-N950 and HW-N850. With the HW-Q70R, consumers
can now enjoy an immersive home entertainment experience, with room-filling
sound and overhead audio effects.

Along with the Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
technologies, the HW-Q70R has a slim form factor, with a height of only 2.3
inch (59mm), which provides a better match with the QLED TV.

Q80R is equipped with 13 speakers, including two upward-firing and two
side-firing speakers; while the Q90R has 17 speakers, including four upward-firing
speakers and two side-firing speakers. This allows these two sound bars to
generate sound that moves around the listener, making the audio come from
around and above.

In addition to that, the HW-Q90R comes packaged with a Wireless Rear Speaker Kit (two speakers), bringing listeners a true wireless surround sound experience. If there are consumers looking for a real 3D home theatre experience but dread all the wiring work, this is the sound bar set that is meant for you and your home.

Moreover, to make the setup of your TV
and sound bar more convenient and wire-free, the HW-Q90R and HW-Q80R feature
wireless connectivity to your Samsung TV via Wi-Fi, eliminating additional need
for cluttered cables. These sound bars can also be controlled with your Samsung
TV remote control as well, which means fewer remote controllers around the
living room.

The HW-Q90R and HW-Q80R were made to
keep up with video content of the highest quality. With 4K and HDR 10+
capabilities, high quality video sources can be connected through your sound bar
to your Samsung TV.  Additionally, the
Game Mode Pro optimizes sound specifically for gaming, therefore allowing
gamers to fully immerse themselves in a whole new reality of interactive
entertainment.

For smarter, easier integration into
consumers’ lives, the new Q-Series sound bars also feature Bluetooth
connectivity, allowing users to easily enjoy high-quality music from their
smartphones.
