With millions of users relying on telecom services for connectivity, even minor network disruptions can lead to significant financial and reputational damage. To address these challenges, machine learning (ML) is emerging as a transformative tool for predictive maintenance, allowing telecom operators to detect and address potential failures before they escalate. This is especially crucial in Asia, a region experiencing unprecedented digital transformation and rapid 5G expansion.
Telecom networks are highly energy-intensive, and as digitalization continues to advance, so does the demand for energy. Notably, telecom networks account for a substantial portion of global electricity consumption.
Submarine cables are the backbone of global digital connectivity, transmitting over 99% of intercontinental data traffic. Nowhere is this infrastructure more vital than in Asia, a region that serves as a crucial hub for global internet traffic. However, climate change presents significant environmental risks to submarine cables, threatening connectivity and economic stability.
In a development that has sent shockwaves through the tech industry, Chinese startup, DeepSeek, has unveiled its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model, DeepSeek-R1.
Holding the potential to revolutionize fields ranging from cryptography to artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics—such as superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that classical computers simply cannot.
The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is at the forefront of the global Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) revolution, leveraging connected technologies to optimize production, enhance operational efficiency, and drive economic growth.
Submarine cables are the unsung heroes of the digital age, forming a vast network beneath the world's oceans that facilitates global communication and commerce. While the physical infrastructure of these cables is paramount, true resilience extends beyond mere hardware; it encompasses a strategic blend of supplier diversity, route diversification, and tailored resilience strategies that vary across countries and regions.
Unlike public 5G networks, private 5G networks provide enterprises with dedicated spectrum, ensuring reliability, security, and operational efficiency.
Malaysia’s 5G journey officially began with a bold push from the government and industry stakeholders to establish a robust and high-speed 5G infrastructure.
The Asia Direct Cable (ADC) is set to revolutionize the digital landscape of East and Southeast Asia. Spanning 9,988 kilometers, this submarine cable system connects critical hubs in China, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Designed to meet the growing demand for high-capacity bandwidth in the region, the ADC cable promises to significantly boost digital connectivity, providing a foundation for future technological advancements in industries such as artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
