  • NEC Announces New Industry-leading Multi-carrier Radio Solution to Address Higher Capacity Demands for 5G Networks

    NEC Announces New Industry-leading Multi-carrier Radio Solution to Address Higher Capacity Demands for 5G Networks

    – High transmission power at high modulation with the quality of the IAG/IAP series –
    – Industry’s highest-capacity outdoor module capable of supporting multiple channels –

    NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701), a leading provider of wireless solutions, today announced the release of new iPASOLINK IAP3 series High-Power Outdoor Units (ODU) and a next generation Outdoor Branching (BR) Combiner (OBC2) to help answer the challenges operators face in increasing 5G network capacity and accelerating deployment needs.

    NEC’s iPASOLINK ODUs are well-known and trusted for their reliability and market-leading performance by network operators that require high availability and high capacity operation over a wide range of challenging environmental conditions. The new IAP3 series ODU’s continue to deliver high quality, and now feature significantly improved RF performance in an energy efficient, compact, lightweight housing.

    The new IAP3 delivers up to 5dB of transmission power improvement in the higher modulations, crucial to operators looking for high capacity links with high availability performance. The IAP3 supports the 6 to 23 GHz bands and channel widths up to 112 MHz with adaptive modulation (AMR) support up to 4096 QAM.

    Automatic transmitter power control (ATPC) is enabled on the IAP3, ensuring efficient operation and that all standard radio configurations are supported, including Cross Polarization Interference Cancellation (XPIC) and Space Diversity operation. The IAP3 is also fully supported by the new N-on-1 hybrid coupler.

    The N-on-1 hybrid coupler provides operators with a simple means to increase capacity and availability. It also offers improved flexibility, allowing operators to use either multiple channels in a single band or combine channels in different frequency bands. Moreover, inventory is also greatly reduced as the system uses the same IAP3 and IAG3 ODU’s as deployed in other parts of the network. Operators may start off with a single channel and easily upgrade in the future as spectrum becomes available, reusing and redeploying the same ODUs from other parts of the network. The N-on-1 hybrid is available in a compact, lightweight, direct mount package reducing demands on tower hardware.

    NEC is also pleased to announce the release of the next generation Outdoor Branching Combiner (OBC2), offering flexible configurations up to 16 radio channels (8 channels in both polarizations) in ACAP, ACCP, CCDP and CCDP+ACCP configurations supporting capacities up to 10 Gbps. The new architecture simplifies field upgrades, and a simple cascading option allows support for Space Diversity.

    The OBC2 size has been halved and weight reduced by up to 80%, reducing overall tower loading and aperture requirements. Moreover, the IP66 rated construction delivers reliable maintenance-free operation in the most severe outdoor environments. The OBC2 provides support for operation at higher modulations up to 4096 QAM and delivers superior RF performance, minimizing transmission power losses through reductions to insertion loss and signal distortion in the branching circuit.

    “NEC continues to provide innovative products for our customers’ requirements. A key element for 5G is the bundling of bandwidth with configurations that feature high-power and flexible channel arrangement, which enables the use of faster transport. NEC’s high-power ODUs and the next generation Outdoor BR Combiner will help customers to expand the capabilities and flexibility of wireless solutions for 5G,” said Hideyuki Muto, Deputy General Manager, Wireless Solutions Division, NEC Corporation.

    Both the IAP3 and OBC2 are part of NEC’s end-to-end high performance 5G network infrastructure solutions covering RAN, core network, optical and wireless transport, Orchestration / Marketplace (BSS) and a wide array of network infrastructure services.

  • Global New Material (6616.HK) to list on HKEx as New Material Market Shines

    Global New Material (6616.HK) to list on HKEx as New Material Market Shines

    As one of the seven strategic emerging industries in China and one of the ten key areas of development under the “Made in China 2025” policy, the new material industry is considered the high-tech industry with the greatest potential in the 21st century, with significant impact on future development.

    Global New Material International Holdings Limited (Global New Material) is a leading player in the market segment, with main products including natural mica, synthetic mica, silica, alumina and other base materials, all representative of the segment in new consumable materials featuring high market barriers, high added value and broad market prospects.

    Global New Material published its IPO prospectus on 30 June 2021. Dealings in its shares on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (6066.HK) are expected to commence on 16 July 2021.

    I. Rapid growth of the new material industry empowers Global New Material’s great potential of development

    Generally, growth stocks are of greater market potential than value stocks, and a company that grows faster than its industry sector usually shows growth in sales and profits. Many outstanding growth stock companies are leaders in some emerging industries. Global New Material has the characteristics of a growth stock company.

    The fast-growing “new material” industry shows promising prospects

    With its main products including natural mica-based and synthetic mica-based pearlescent pigment products, Global New Material has the core technologies required in producing synthetic mica, occupies a dominant position in the high-end market, and is at the forefront of advanced technology.

    With breakthroughs made in production technology, the rise of scientific manufacturing, increased public awareness and recognition of synthetic mica-based pearlescent materials in the future, and the gradually increased consumption level, synthetic mica-based, alumina-based and other pearlescent materials will be widely applied in different application fields, and will have further space for market growth.

    Frost & Sullivan forecasts that the market size of the global new materials market will reach RMB3,251.11 billion in 2024, with an average annual compound growth rate of 10.9% from 2020 to 2024. Frost & Sullivan also forecasts that from 2021 to 2025, the new material market segment in which Global New Material is will experience a compound annual growth rate of 23.9% and 30.8% respectively in the global market and the Chinese market, and a rapidly increasing quantity of pearlescent materials will be applied and demanded.

    Moreover, there is a strong demand for high-end and high-performance pearlescent pigment products, and the fields of automobiles and cosmetics in which pearlescent pigment products are widely applied have been developing rapidly in recent years with an annual compound growth rate of 47.1% and 32.8% respectively from 2021 to 2025, which indicates that there is a strong demand for high-end and high-performance pearlescent pigment products, and that Global New Material is expected to further develop in this context.

    Global New Material is building a second-phase plant for production of high-end products as synthetic mica-based products, triggering a new wave of growth

    From 2018 to 2020, Global New Material revenue increased from RMB318 million to RMB569 million and remained on the steady rise in business performance, with a compound growth rate of revenue reaching 33.7%. The company achieved this business performance thanks to continuous increase in its product sales volume and its adjustments to product structure.

    In terms of sales volume, the sales volume of Global New Material’s pearlescent pigment products increased from 8,451 tons in 2018 to 14,165 tons in 2020. In terms of revenue structure, the proportion of synthetic mica-based products in total revenue remained on the rise from 2018 to 2020, and increased from 21.8% in 2018 to 34.6% in 2020. Therefore, synthetic mica-based products have become one of the main pillars supporting Global New Material’s business performance growth.

    In the industrial field, synthetic mica-based pearlescent materials can replace metal, organic and inorganic pigments. Synthetic mica-based pearlescent materials are priced at mid- to high-level, and are mainly applied in mid-to-high-end industrial, automobiles, cosmetics and other fields. Under the influence of the trend of consumption upgrade, increasingly higher requirements are made for the performance of pearlescent materials. Synthetic mica-based pearlescent materials will be widely applied in a wide range of application fields, indicating that such materials will enjoy market potential in the high-end market.

    Frost & Sullivan forecasts that from 2020 to 2024, the domestic demand for pearlescent materials will be on the rise, especially in the high-end market represented by synthetic mica-based pearlescent materials.

    In order to meet the strong demand in the market for high-end and high-performance pearlescent pigment products, Global New Material is building the second-phase plant to expand its production capacity and seize market potential of pearlescent pigment products. The plant is expected to be put into operation in 2021.

    According to the prospectus, Global New Material will start trial production of 6,000-ton synthetic mica in its newly-added production capacity in the second quarter of 2022, and will further expand its production capacity to 14,000 tons in the second quarter of 2023 and to 30,000 tons in the second quarter of 2025.

    II. Global New Material possesses many patents, core technologies, and sustainable competitive advantage

    It is well known that in the investment philosophy proposed by Buffett, those companies with high gross profit margin in the industry have more advantages. Gross profit margin reflects a company’s ability to transform business operations into profit, and also reflects a company’s unique advantages in raw material pricing, production technology level, product competitiveness, supply-and-demand relations, market pricing power.

    That is to say, gross profit margin directly reflects a company’s competitiveness. Gross profit margin of Global New Material was in the range of 46.2%-49.9% from 2018 to 2020. Can we see the unique advantages?

    Global New Material possesses core technologies

    Technological breakthroughs in the field of pearlescent materials has become one of the major trends in the future development of the industry. Regarding core technologies, breakthroughs in the technologies applied in producing synthetic mica are one of the key factors driving performance improvement of pearlescent materials.

    At present, base materials used in pearlescent materials mainly include natural mica and synthetic mica, of which the former is scarce in China and is mainly imported from other countries and regions. Synthetic mica is a new material that features in big difficulties in R&D, low output, high added value and high technical barriers, and is currently in short supply in face of strong demand in the market. Besides, technologies applied in producing synthetic mica are of great importance for manufacturers to have a place in the high-end market.

    As one of the few manufacturers with core technologies and capacity to produce high-end products, Global New Material is at the forefront of emerging technologies in the industry, possesses three patented technologies applied in producing synthetic mica, and has its core technologies and corporate strength being widely recognized in the industry.

    In 2020, the market size of the Chinese synthetic mica-based pearlescent materials market reached RMB770 million, and in terms of the value corresponding to market share, top five players in the Chinese synthetic mica-based pearlescent materials market occupied a total market share of 43.3%. Among those top five players, Global New Material ranked first with a market share of 25.4%.

    Global New Material has outstanding R&D advantages and highly-recognized R&D capabilities

    The pearlescent material industry is a technology-intensive industry. Different technologies are required for production of pearlescent materials to meet the needs of different downstream industries. The competitiveness of a pearlescent material manufacturer in the increasingly competitive market depends on its strong R&D capabilities. Global New Material possesses industry-leading R&D capabilities, and has won many awards and titles such as “National Intellectual Property Powerful Enterprise”.

    Global New Material has 12 registered patents and 26 patent applications, and has 40 R&D workers. The prospectus points out that in the past three years, R&D expenditures of Global New Material were RMB10.7 million, RMB23.2 million and RMB29.3 million respectively, which accounted for 3.4%, 5.3% and 5.1% of its total revenue, and that in the future, approximately 5% of its total revenue will be invested in its R&D activities each year.

    Global New Material has significant advantages in business scale, and occupies a dominant position in the industry

    With respect to production and marketing of pearlescent materials, huge investments are required in R&D, production sites, precision manufacturing equipment, introduction and training of R&D workers and technicians, market promotion, import and storage of raw materials, daily capital turnover and other aspects, and a long R&D and construction cycle is involved during which huge preliminary capital investments and a large amount of working capital need to be in place. Therefore, adequate operating capital and extensive accumulated R&D technologies are the key factors for success in the pearlescent material industry.

    In the pearlescent material market which is fragmented, Global New Material, as the largest synthetic mica manufacturer in China, occupies a big market share and the dominant position, and has certain advantages in terms of financial support, technologies, patents and customer relationships.

    Summary:

    Global New Material’s EPS in 2021 is HKD0.2342, and its price-to-earnings ratio is expected to be about 15X assuming the IPO price is HKD3.52. It is a cost-effective opportunity for investors in the secondary market to buy stock in a leading company in a market segment in the field of new materials that is innovative and has growth potential, profitability, strong R&D capabilities, core technologies and sustainable competitive advantages.

  • Spritzer Malaysia Urges Rakyat Malaysia to Get COVID-19 Vaccination

    Spritzer Malaysia (Spritzer or the Company), which produces Malaysia’s best-selling natural mineral water, is urging Rakyat Malaysia to register themselves for the COVID-19 vaccination to protect themselves and those around them from the spread of new variants that are more transmissible and deadlier given that only about half of the country’s population is registered.

    Since the pandemic started in 2020, the Company has been working closely with frontliners such as the medical team, police force, the military and enforcement agencies to ensure that there is clean water supply available, nationwide. In view of the seriousness of the pandemic, Spritzer has continuously contributed mineral water to several COVID-19 vaccination centres as a support to frontliners, volunteers and those going for vaccination to ensure their most basic need is taken care of. Apart from these initiatives, Spritzer also supports Civil Defence Force teams who are assigned to bury COVID-19 victims in the Klang Valley.

    Spritzer understands the sacrifices made by the frontliners and enforcement agencies in attending to their duties, especially in tough weather conditions, while the recent jump in infections have further stressed the healthcare system with shortages of ICU beds and tired medical teams.

    As most of the Spritzer employees have not been able to secure their vaccination appointments, the Company has taken the initiative to acquire the vaccines as part of its response to prioritising their safety and health. This vaccination programme will begin this month.

    Spritzer hopes that everyone is doing their bit in fighting the pandemic by following the standard operating procedures as laid down by the National Security Council and also adhere to the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Health.

    Glasstech Asia x PERAFI Webinar Series #1 concludes with much success attracting over 150 attendees online

    Glasstech Asia aims to be the leading community that facilitates communication, learning, networking amongst industry professionals to increase business collaborations and address the latest developments in the industry, while catering to industry professionals from different sectors.

    As part of this effort, Glasstech Asia is pleased to collaborate with PERAFI (Indonesian Facade Association) to introduce a new series of webinars, Glasstech Asia x PERAFI, that focuses on facades and its related building materials. Bringing together international industry experts, the webinars seek to improve the excellence of building facade industry through active discussions on key topics and content sharing from different industry players, from property developers to architects. The webinars also aim to address the latest developments in the industry, allowing participants to gain valuable insights and meet a strong network of connections within the BAU network.

    Fibra Reelianto, PERAFI Chairman 2021, commented: “We are honoured to have had the opportunity to gather the different stakeholders of facade industry, especially in Indonesia. We would like to actively play our part in creating a friendly and receptive community who support one another, especially during this current situation, building bonds of trust that bridge the differences, and cultivate our facade industry toward better future.”

    The first webinar of the series focused on High-Performance Facade: Design Strategies and Applications, where it highlighted the different key factors that each industry stakeholder prioritizes in a building facade and covers the entire journey of creating and testing a building facade to the construction of a building.

    Key highlights
    The line-up of topics was specially curated to support the facade industry in navigating the current challenges posed by many on delivering and using high performance facades. The webinar saw interesting and valuable insights shared by the five esteemed speakers from various sectors of the facade industry.

    The webinar kickstarted with Paul Onslow, Senior Construction Manager of Hongkong Land, who shared about the process of ‘Delivering a High-Performance Facade as a Property Developer’. The session was supported by many case studies and went through a detailed presentation of the development process for the World Trade Centre II, giving the participants much to learn from.

    The session was then complemented by Simon Chin, Managing Director of Winwall Technology Private Limited, as he reviewed the different types of performance tests on facades, the specifications, and requirements for it, while providing examples.

    Additionally, participants had the opportunity to understand and learn from an architect’s perspective through numerous case studies on various building developments and the evolution of facade design responding to varying design considerations, constraints, and opportunities. Kevin Jose, Global Board Director of Aedas, also shared examples on how the design approach can differ for geometrically challenged forms and how architecture design was successfully done remotely through the Covid-19 pandemic.

    A deeper understanding on the testing of facade and laboratories was later reached through Joenel Tajonera’s, Technical Manager at Kaskal Facade Testing Center, presentation. During his session, he covered the requirements to evaluate the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, exploratory testing, and case studies showcasing the difference between PMU vs VMU. This spurred interaction amongst attendees by creating a discussion on the criteria for facade and types of facade tests against lightning strikes.

    Lastly, with his extensive experience in the facade industry, Sreenivas Narayanan, General Manager of Siderise Middle East, focused mainly on protection and prevention of facade fires. Through his presentation, attendees gained valuable insights on the difference to fire resistance and fire protection, stone wool properties, standard requirements, and the importance of cycling.

    Summing up the webinar, the discussion round saw high levels of activity from the participants, where a series of thought-provoking questions were asked.

    Besides these live sessions, Glasstech Asia x PERAFI webinars also features on-demand components that are only accessible to delegates that have an account on the Glasstech Asia Virtual platform.
