Asia’s airports take the lead at inter airport Southeast Asia 2025 kicks off the conference, driving conversations on the future of airport operations and passenger experience

Set to welcome 4,000 airport professionals, 150 international exhibitors, 4 dynamic pavilions, and 53 speakers from 66 countries and regions, IASEA 2025 is poised to shape the future of airport operations and passenger experience throughout the next 3 daysSINGAPORE, Mar 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The much-anticipated inter airport Southeast Asia (IASEA) 2025 has officially opened today at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, bringing together key airport industry stakeholders, global solution providers, and leading experts to shape the future of airport operations and passenger experience.Themed “Airport Operations for Tomorrow”, conversations surrounding these topics are especially crucial as the aviation industry is witnessing rapid transformation and projected global passenger traffic to reach 19.5 billion by 2042.Day 1 morning highlights: Keynotes and expert insightsThe opening day of IASEA 2025 set an exciting tone with thought-provoking discussions and visionary insights from industry leaders. The fireside chat on 'Reshaping Global Airport Operations', led by Patrick Ky, CEO, International Centre for Aviation Innovation (ICAI) and moderated by Glory Wee, Senior Director, Aviation Development Group, Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS), discussed the fundamental shift they anticipate airport operations will face and how airports must evolve to balance the imperatives of efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. When asked to share one game-changing technology that will redefine the industry, Patrick Ky shared that “innovation that drives data sharing will be key”, but that would require many regulatory aspects and willingness from airports to share with each other. This would take time, but it is key to building a stronger future. “It is clear from our discussion that in order to reshape airport operations, it is not just about technological advancements but also about setting standards, data integrity, collaborations, and sharing best practices. Above all, the industry needs to work towards building trust with partners and eco-system players,” said Glory Wee, Senior Director, Aviation Development Group, Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS). At the show, leading airports, including Narita International Airport Corporation, and Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), presented case studies highlighting their technological integrations, regional growth strategies, and efforts to meet rising demand while enhancing passenger experience. Shinichiro Motomiya, General Manager, Narita International Airport Corporation, presented the ‘New Narita Airport’ expansion project for the 2030s, which includes extending an existing runway, constructing a new runway, improving connectivity into the city, building a new cargo area, and consolidating this into a single terminal to accommodate the expected increase of passenger capacity from 57 to 75 million and cargo capacity from 2.4 to 3.5 million tons at Narita International Airport.Separately, Vietnam’s aviation sector is experiencing rapid growth, with domestic travel projected to increase by over 20% from 2023 to 2027. To meet this soaring demand, Nguyen Dang Minh, Director of Airport Operations Department, Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), shared ACV’s master plan to develop a robust and resilient airport network by 2050. By 2030, ACV will equip 30 airports across the country with a combined capacity to handle 275.9 million passengers and 4.1 million tons of cargo annually. By 2050, the network will expand to 33 airports (14 international and 19 domestic), ensuring that 97% of the population has access to an airport within 100 kilometres. The total investment for this extensive development is estimated to reach 420,000 billion VND.At the heart of this transformation is the Long Thanh International Airport project, positioned as a key national aviation hub and one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the region. The project is divided into three phases:Phase 1 (2025): Complete Terminal 1 with two runways and a cargo terminal, which will have the capacity to handle 25 million passengers.Phase 2 (2025-2030): Construction of Terminal 2, which will increase the airport’s capacity to 50 million passengers.Phase 3 (2035-2040): Two additional runways (T3 and T4 Terminals), reaching a total capacity of 100 million passengers.This year’s IASEA 2025 welcomes a delegation of leaders from major international airports in Vietnam, including Long Thanh International Airport—one of the world's most expensive greenfield airport projects—Noi Bai Airport, Danang Airport, Cat Bi Airport, Phu Quoc Airport, and Cam Ranh International Terminal.Mr. Nguyen Cao Cuong, Deputy General Director, Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), shared during his opening remarks, “Under the direction of the Prime Minister of Vietnam, ACV's delegation at this expo is actively seeking high-quality, potential partners in technology, equipment, and airport operations to collaborate in accelerating the completion of Long Thanh, ensuring it meets the highest international standards. This show is not only a valuable opportunity for ACV to explore cutting-edge technologies and advanced management models but also a chance for all of us to discuss strategies for the collective growth of airport networks in Southeast Asia."What to look out for in IASEA 2025?Over the course of three days, groundbreaking discussions and innovations are taking centre stage, redefining efficiency, sustainability, and automation in ground handling and airport logistics.

NTT, DOCOMO and NEC Demonstrate World’s Fastest 140 Gbps Bidirectional Wireless Transmission in 80 GHz Band JCN Newswire

NTT, DOCOMO and NEC Demonstrate World’s Fastest 140 Gbps Bidirectional Wireless Transmission in 80 GHz Band

Highlights:Achieved the world's fastest real-time bidirectional wireless transmission at a total rate of 140 Gbps --- more than twice the speed of conventional technology --- using the millimeter-wave band between 71 GHz and 86 GHz, a frequency range already in practical use for wireless systems.Demonstrated that OAM (Orbital Angular Momentum) mode multiplexing technology increases wireless transmission capacity, while OAM-mode control technology extends transmission distances and enables the use of reflected paths.Enabled the construction of flexible backhaul networks using both optical fiber and wireless connections, contributing to the realization of future 6G and beyond services such as high-definition video transmission and temporary lines during disasters.TOKYO, Mar 25, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT Corporation, NTT DOCOMO, INC. and NEC Corporation announced today that they demonstrated a real-time bidirectional wireless transmission in the millimeter wave band between 71 GHz and 86 GHz that achieved a bit rate of 140 Gbps --- unprecedented for sub-100 GHz frequencies. The test demonstrated that OAM (Orbital Angular Momentum) mode multiplexing transmission technology can increase the capacity of wireless transmission, and that OAM-mode control technology can increase wireless transmission distances by using reflected paths (Figure 1). The achievement is expected to help realize high-capacity wireless transmissions to meet future demand anticipated in the 2030s.OAM-mode multiplexing technology increases the capacity of wireless transmissions between fixed stations by transmitting multiple radio waves, each carrying signals multiplexed with different OAM modes, at the same frequency and time. Transmissions exceeding 100 Gbps enable both optical-fiber and wireless connections for communication lines between fixed stations, facilitating the construction of flexible backhaul networks,*1 wireless connections with mobile base stations during events, and temporary lines during disasters. The research results are expected to contribute to the development of high-capacity wireless backhaul for future services such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and high-definition video transmission in 6G and beyond.The results will be presented at the Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)*2 starting March 24.Research BackgroundIn the 6G era, the demand for wireless communications will accelerate with the emergence of high-definition video transmission, autonomous driving, remote medical surgery, and advanced applications such as VR and AR, increasing the need for high-capacity wireless communication. NTT, DOCOMO and NEC are working to increase capacity using a novel spatial multiplexing method that uses OAM, a property of electromagnetic waves (Figure 2).OAM, a physical quantity that describes certain properties of electromagnetic waves, is generated by adjusting the phase difference of signals from the transmitting antenna so that the same-phase trajectory spirals in the direction of propagation. On the receiving side, the phase of the received signal can be synthesized at the antenna by rotating in the opposite direction of transmission, so that radio signals corresponding to multiple OAM modes with different helix structures can be superimposed and separated without interfering with each other. Using this feature, OAM-mode multiplexing technology can transmit different data that has been spatially multiplexed, enabling large amounts of data to be sent over limited bandwidths. High-capacity wireless transmission is possible even in frequency bands below 100 GHz, where wide bandwidth is not readily available. While there is a report*3 of a successful real-time transmission test that achieved 14.7 Gbps over 40 meters in a single direction using OAM-mode multiplexing technology with digital signal processing circuits in the 71 GHz to 86 GHz band (E-band), which is used in existing wireless systems, real-time transmission capacity needs to be further increased for 6G and beyond wireless systems.Real-time wireless transmission using OAM-mode multiplexing technology in high-frequency bands has now been demonstrated by NTT, DOCOMO and NEC, supported by research on the practical application of OAM-mode multiplexing transmission (Figure 3).NEC has developed an OAM-mode multiplexing transmission system capable of real-time transmission at a maximum rate of 70 Gbps per direction, using a 1 GHz bandwidth signal in the E-band. This was achieved by extending conventional digital signal processing circuits*3 to increase the modulation rate by about 2.6 times to 300 Mbaud*4 while also enabling bidirectional communication in the E-band.DOCOMO explored expanding the application scenarios of OAM-mode multiplexing transmission and conducted demonstration experiments on reflection-based transmissions, using OAM-mode inverse-reception technology for transmissions via reflections off surfaces such as walls.NTT has devised a circuit that doubles the transmission bandwidth and an OAM-mode control technology to support long-distance transmission and reflection scenarios.Leveraging these developments, the three companies conducted demonstrations based on three scenarios:Bidirectional transmission over a distance of 22.5 metersBidirectional transmission over a distance of 45 metersBidirectional transmission over a distance of 22.5 meters using a reflectorThe result was successful transmission of 139.2 Gbps, 104.0 Gbps and 139.2 Gbps, respectively (Figure 4).Key Research Achievements- Broadband Real-Time OAM Mode Multiplexing Transmission Technology: Using eight orthogonal OAM-modes and high-order modulation up to 256QAM, the team achieved wireless transmissions with a bandwidth of 500 MHz in four frequencies—74.875 GHz and 75.375 GHz for the uplink and 84.875 GHz and 85.375 GHz for the downlink. The system achieved real-time bidirectional wireless transmission of 139.2 Gbps at a distance of 22.5 meters in a sub-100 GHz band.- OAM Mode Control Technology: In OAM-mode multiplexing transmissions, the antenna size was optimized to maximize transmission capacity according to the transmission distance. However, when operating beyond designed distances, transmission capacity typically decreased. In response, an OAM-mode control technology was developed to automatically adjust transmission parameters such as transmission power, OAM mode and modulation method. As a result, the system successfully maintained 104.0 Gbps of real-time wireless transmission over a distance of 45 meters, twice the initially designed range.- Expanded Application Scenarios: To date, OAM-mode multiplexed transmissions have focused on line-of-sight conditions that require precise alignment of transmitters and receivers. To support flexible backhaul solutions for 6G and beyond, non-line-of-sight communication using wall reflections was investigated. Using OAM-mode inverse-reception technology, the test demonstrated that wall reflections can achieve 139.2 Gbps transmissions at 22.5 meters.Future OutlookThe demonstration validated real-time bidirectional wireless transmission exceeding 100 Gbps using OAM-mode multiplexing technology. Such high-capacity wireless transmission technology can expand backhaul infrastructure beyond traditional fiber-optic connections, enabling more flexible backhaul configurations. This includes applications such as wireless connectivity to mobile base stations during events and temporary backhaul lines during disasters, ultimately supporting wireless communication demands expected in the 6G era and beyond.The three companies will explore applications such as relay transmission using real-time, high-capacity wireless communications and will apply OAM-mode multiplexing technology to wireless backhaul and fronthaul networks. They will also seek to increase wireless transmission capacity and extend transmission distances in millimeter-wave and higher frequency bands. Ultimately, they aim to establish flexible network infrastructure for future services such as VR, AR, ultra-high-definition video transmission, connected vehicles and remote medical applications in the 6G era and beyond (Figure 5).(l) Relay network that connects base stations to core communication network.

Rusia, Ukraine bersetuju dengan gencatan senjata Laut Hitam susulan perbincangan AS

(SeaPRwire) - Delegasi dari pada hari Selasa bersetuju dengan gencatan senjata di Laut Hitam berikutan perbincangan dengan pegawai pentadbiran Trump minggu ini di Arab Saudi."Amerika Syarikat dan Rusia telah bersetuju untuk memastikan pelayaran selamat, menghapuskan penggunaan kekerasan, dan mencegah penggunaan kapal komersial untuk tujuan ketenteraan di Laut Hitam," kata Rumah Putih dalam satu kenyataan berikutan .Begitu juga, sejurus kemudian, Menteri Pertahanan Ukraine, Rustem Umerov, yang mengetuai delegasi, mengesahkan bahawa "Semua pihak telah bersetuju untuk memastikan pelayaran selamat, menghapuskan penggunaan kekerasan, dan mencegah penggunaan kapal komersial untuk tujuan ketenteraan di Laut Hitam."Walaupun beliau juga menekankan bahawa "semua pergerakan oleh Rusia bagi kapal tentera di luar bahagian timur Laut Hitam akan menjadi pelanggaran semangat perjanjian ini, akan dianggap sebagai pelanggaran komitmen untuk memastikan pelayaran selamat Laut Hitam dan ancaman kepada keselamatan negara Ukraine.""Dalam kes ini, Ukraine akan mempunyai hak penuh untuk melaksanakan hak untuk mempertahankan diri," tambahnya dalam satu kenyataan berikutan perbincangan di Riyadh.Walaupun Kremlin juga dilaporkan mencadangkan pada hari Selasa bahawa ia mungkin tidak bersedia untuk menguatkuasakan sepenuhnya gencatan senjata sehingga ia diterima semula ke dalam – mempersoalkan kejayaan sebenar perbincangan tersebut.Menurut laporan oleh Reuters, Kremlin berkata gencatan senjata Laut Hitam hanya akan dilaksanakan dengan penyingkiran sekatan Barat ke atas Rosselkhozbank Rusia – yang dilaporkan menyediakan perkhidmatan kepada firma pertanian – dan apabila akses kepada sistem perbankan antarabangsa dipulihkan.Rumah Putih tidak membuat sebarang sebutan langsung mengenai tuntutan Rusia untuk melibatkan diri semula dengan SWIFT dan tidak menyatakan bahawa gencatan senjata itu bergantung kepada tuntutan Kremlin.Sebaliknya, Rumah Putih berkata dalam satu kenyataan, "Amerika Syarikat akan membantu memulihkan akses Rusia ke pasaran dunia untuk eksport pertanian dan baja, menurunkan kos insurans maritim, dan meningkatkan akses ke pelabuhan dan sistem pembayaran untuk transaksi tersebut."Tetapi SWIFT diawasi oleh bank-bank pusat G-10 – yang termasuk Belgium, Kanada, Perancis, Jerman, Itali, Jepun, Belanda, Sweden, Switzerland, UK dan Amerika Syarikat – serta Bank Pusat Eropah dan penyelia utama ialah National Bank of Belgium.Reuters selanjutnya melaporkan bahawa Kremlin menuntut agar sekatan ke atas pengeksport dan penghantaran makanan dan baja, firma insurans, serta sekatan ke atas kapal dan operasi pembiayaan perdagangan, perlu ditarik balik.Rumah Putih tidak segera menjawab soalan Digital tentang sama ada ini bermakna bahawa tiada gencatan senjata yang benar-benar direalisasikan sepenuhnya kecuali rakan antarabangsa AS juga bersetuju dengan tuntutan Kremlin.Kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh pentadbiran itu juga mengatakan bahawa AS, Rusia dan Ukraine "bersetuju untuk membangunkan langkah-langkah untuk melaksanakan" terma yang dicapai oleh Presiden Donald Trump, Presiden Vladimir Putin dan Presiden Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy minggu lepas semasa panggilan telefon berasingan yang melarang "serangan terhadap kemudahan tenaga Rusia dan Ukraine" – tetapi tidak jelas bagaimana proses "pelaksanaan" itu akan kelihatan atau bagaimana ia akan dikuatkuasakan.Pentadbiran Trump menyatakan bahawa AS akan terus berusaha ke arah perjanjian gencatan senjata yang lebih luas antara Ukraine dan Rusia.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Rubio kata Afrika Selatan mesti melindungi petani kulit putih, AS akan menawarkan kemasukan kepada mereka yang menghadapi keganasan berita

Rubio kata Afrika Selatan mesti melindungi petani kulit putih, AS akan menawarkan kemasukan kepada mereka yang menghadapi keganasan

(SeaPRwire) - Setiausaha Negara Marco Rubio pada hari Isnin berkata warga kulit putih yang menghadapi ancaman keganasan akan dialu-alukan di Amerika Syarikat.Pendirian Rubio hadir di tengah-tengah ketegangan antara kerajaan Afrika Selatan dan pentadbiran Trump mengenai undang-undang rampasan tanah negara itu dan pendirian anti-Israelnya.Dalam catatan di X, Rubio merujuk kepada "Kill the Boer," nyanyian anti-apartheid lama yang menurut pengkritik adalah seruan untuk keganasan anti-Kulit Putih dan telah digunakan untuk merujuk kepada petani Kulit Putih."Para pemimpin dan ahli politik Afrika Selatan mesti mengambil tindakan untuk melindungi Afrikaner dan minoriti lain yang tidak disukai," tulis Rubio pada hari Isnin. "Amerika Syarikat berbangga untuk menawarkan individu yang memenuhi syarat untuk kemasukan ke negara kita di tengah-tengah ancaman keganasan yang berterusan ini."Pentadbiran Trump telah menolak undang-undang rampasan. Undang-undang rampasan tanah membolehkan kerajaan membuat rampasan tanah tanpa pampasan. Pada bulan Februari, Trump mengeluarkan perintah eksekutif yang menghukum Afrika Selatan. "Dalam pengabaian yang mengejutkan terhadap hak warganya, Republik Afrika Selatan baru-baru ini menggubal Expropriation Act 13 of 2024, untuk membolehkan kerajaan Afrika Selatan merampas harta pertanian minoriti etnik Afrikaner tanpa pampasan," kata perintah itu.Selain itu, Afrika Selatan telah menuduh Israel di Mahkamah Keadilan Antarabangsa melakukan pembunuhan beramai-ramai di Semenanjung Gaza. Negara itu juga semakin rapat dengan Iran, dengan rancangan untuk membangunkan pengaturan komersial, ketenteraan dan nuklear.Awal bulan ini, Rubio mengumumkan bahawa duta Afrika Selatan ke A.S. tidak lagi dialu-alukan di negara ini. Dalam catatan di X, Rubio menggelar Embrahim Rasool sebagai ahli politik "perkauman" yang membenci Amerika dan Trump.Rasool berucap di Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection (MISTRA) di Johannesburg ketika dia mengatakan gerakan Trump Make America Great Again sebagai tindak balas supremasi kulit putih terhadap perubahan demografi di A.S. Sebagai tindak balas, Rubio mengisytiharkan duta itu ",", bermakna tidak dialu-alukan.

PBB salahkan Israel atas serangan ke atas kawasan tetapi tidak menyebut Hamas, terpaksa mengurangkan jejak Gaza

(SeaPRwire) - Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) sekali lagi berada di bawah penelitian kerana menyalahkan Israel atas serangan ke atas sebuah kompleks sambil memilih untuk mengurangkan kehadirannya di Gaza, menurut badan dunia itu.Jurucakap Setiausaha Agung António Guterres mengeluarkan kenyataan yang menyatakan PBB telah "mengambil keputusan yang sukar untuk mengurangkan kehadiran Pertubuhan itu di Gaza" walaupun "keperluan kemanusiaan meningkat."Jurucakap PBB, Stephane Dujarric mendakwa bahawa "maklumat yang tersedia pada masa ini" menunjukkan bahawa serangan ke atas kompleks Deir al Balah PBB pada 19 Mac adalah "disebabkan oleh kereta kebal Israel." Seorang pekerja PBB terbunuh dalam kejadian itu, dan enam yang lain cedera, kata Dujarric.Pada tarikh kejadian, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Tweet bahawa "bertentangan dengan laporan, IDF tidak menyerang kompleks PBB di Deir el Balah." IDF meminta media "untuk bertindak dengan berhati-hati mengenai laporan yang belum disahkan."IDF memberitahu Digital pada hari Isnin bahawa dakwaan PBB itu "sama sekali tidak tepat."Walaupun kenyataannya menamakan Israel, ia tidak menyebut kumpulan pengganas Hamas atau kumpulan pelampau lain yang beroperasi di Gaza. "Lokasi kompleks PBB ini diketahui umum oleh pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam konflik," sambung Dujarric. "Saya menegaskan bahawa semua pihak yang terlibat dalam konflik terikat oleh undang-undang antarabangsa untuk melindungi kesucian mutlak premis PBB. Tanpa ini, rakan-rakan kami menghadapi risiko yang tidak dapat diterima semasa mereka berusaha menyelamatkan nyawa orang awam." Dujarric menambah bahawa "Setiausaha Agung mengutuk keras serangan ini dan menuntut siasatan penuh, menyeluruh dan bebas terhadap kejadian ini."Penganalisis penyelidikan Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Joe Truzman memberitahu Digital bahawa kenyataan Dujarric memberikan "tanggapan... bahawa PBB sengaja mengelak daripada mengkritik Hamas dan kumpulan pengganas Palestin yang lain di Gaza kerana takut menimbulkan geseran dengan kumpulan bersenjata. Strategi yang gagal ini hanya menggalakkan Hamas dan sekutunya, membolehkan mereka mengeksploitasi kemudahan UNRWA di Gaza dengan sewenang-wenangnya. Berulang kali, pihak berkuasa telah menemui infrastruktur pengganas yang berkaitan dengan kemudahan UNRWA, termasuk pekerja agensi yang merupakan ahli kumpulan pengganas dan melakukan kekejaman pada 7 Oktober."Pada 23 Mac, IDF membunuh ahli biro politik Hamas, Ismail Barhoum ketika dia dilaporkan berada di Khan Younis, Gaza. Selepas media, termasuk Al Jazeera, mendakwa bahawa Barhoum sedang dirawat di hospital, jurucakap antarabangsa IDF, Lt. Kol. Nadav Shoshani Tweet bahawa Barhoum telah "mengadakan pertemuan dengan pengganas lain dan tokoh kanan dalam organisasi pengganas" sambil kekal "di hospital selama beberapa minggu."Truzman berkata penjelasan IDF adalah "sangat munasabah.""Hamas telah menjadi sangat mahir dalam meyakinkan orang ramai bahawa ia tidak beroperasi dari infrastruktur awam – satu dakwaan yang jelas palsu," kata Truzman. Dalam taktik yang telah "disaksikannya selama bertahun-tahun," dia berkata bahawa "Hamas dan sekutunya sengaja menempatkan diri mereka di kawasan awam untuk mengelak daripada dikesan.""Orang ramai mesti faham bahawa keutamaan utama Hamas bukanlah untuk melindungi orang awam Palestin tetapi memastikan kelangsungan hidup kumpulan Islam itu," kata Truzman.Berikutan gencatan senjata dan pertukaran tebusan separa yang menyaksikan 25 tebusan yang hidup dan lapan yang meninggal dunia dikembalikan ke Israel dan hampir 2,000 tahanan Palestin dibebaskan, konflik telah kembali ke Gaza. Dengan , Israel mengurangkan bantuan kemanusiaan ke Gaza awal bulan ini untuk memberi tekanan kepada Hamas agar melanjutkan gencatan senjata, dan untuk membebaskan tebusan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
