Technology: Uses DWDM transmission systems with single-wave capacity ≥300 Gbps, total design capacity 4 Tbps (expandable to 12 Tbps). Background Addressing Subsea Cable Vulnerabilities: Vietnam suffered >10 subsea cable cuts annually (2022–2025), causing frequent international outages. VSTN serves as a strategic backup, reducing repair time by 50% through autonomous operation. Digital Sovereignty: Part of Vietnam’s push for infrastructure "autonomy", ending 90% reliance on foreign-owned subsea cables. 2. Strategic Value & Geopolitical Impact Enhanced Digital Resilience Redundancy: VSTN + existing subsea cables (e.g., AAG, SJC2) form a "subsea-terrestrial dual backup", enabling automatic failover during outages (e.g., 2024 outage slashed Vietnam’s speeds by 70%). Operational Control: VNPT fully owns deployment/maintenance, shifting Vietnam from user to regional infrastructure leader. Accelerating Regional Integration ASEAN Digital Hub: First cross-ASEAN terrestrial corridor with Vietnam as the anchor, advancing the "Digital ASEAN Community" vision. Economic Spillover: Provides landlocked nations (e.g., Cambodia, Laos) low-cost access. Cambodia plans to join VSTN via Vietnam. 3. Regional Influence & Future Plans Elevating Vietnam’s Global Role Technical Leadership: Vietnam’s first independently led international backbone, positioning it alongside Singapore/Thailand as digital infrastructure pioneers. Investment Magnet: High reliability attracts data centers (e.g., Google’s planned AI hub in Đà Nẵng). Expected to boost Vietnam’s digital GDP growth by 2–3% by 2026. National Strategy Alignment Policy Synergy: VSTN implements Vietnam’s Digital Infrastructure Strategy (2025–2030), which targets ≥2 new self-owned subsea...

C114 News Beijing time July 24 news, after six months of beta testing, and in advance to natural disaster victims open service, T-Mobile this week has officially launched its direct device (D2D) satellite communication service T-Satellite nationwide.   This D2D SMS service relies on Starlink's more than 650 low earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide communication support for areas with weak ground wireless signal coverage. During the Super Bowl in February this year, T-Mobile announced its T-Satellite plan under widespread attention. The operator said it will provide satellite SMS services to T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon users through SpaceX's Starlink system. In the initial stage, non-T-Mobile users will be charged $20/month, but the T-Satellite official website shows that "non-users of this network can enjoy this service for a limited time at a rate of $10/month during the promotion period."   T-Satellite service is included in T-Mobile's Experience Beyond and Go5G Next packages, and users of other packages need to pay a $10/month subscription fee.   In the past six months, nearly 2 million test users (including Verizon and AT&T users) have tried D2D services in remote areas. During the flood disaster in central Texas this month, T-Mobile also opened T-Satellite service to the victims, providing SMS and emergency SOS communication support to the affected communities.

The following figure shows the packing site of the guyed wire telecom towers shipped to Yemen. According to the process, the zinc layer thickness was still measured before packaging to ensure product quality. Since the towers are installed in coastal areas with high air salt content, we raised the galvanizing standard after confirming with the customer, and the average zinc layer thickness exceeded 150 microns.  

Communications World Network (CWW) SoftBank recently partnered with Nokia to conduct groundbreaking trials in Japan. They are testing the 7GHz frequency band for 6G communications. This move marks the first time that the frequency band has been used in Japan and is aimed at promoting the future development of mobile networks. The test was carried out in Tokyo, Japan's bustling capital, and utilized massive MIMO technology to evaluate new deployment scenarios in highly congested urban environments.   The 7-24 GHz frequency band (known as FR3 in the standards community) is receiving attention from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). This band is likely to become a key element of future mobile networks and will be discussed at the upcoming World Radiocommunication Conference 2027. During this trial, SoftBank installed three pre-commercial 7GHz base stations at strategic locations in Tokyo. The move aims to explore the comparison between 6G and existing 5G coverage.   "The 7GHz band offers bandwidth far beyond the Sub-6 band for 5G. Combined with the already defined 6,425-7,125 MHz 5G band, it enables nearly 2GHz of contiguous spectrum. Its propagation characteristics are similar to those of the Sub-6 band, making it ideal for high-speed communications and reliable regional coverage," SoftBank said.   The trial is expected to enable wider bandwidth and greater coverage in densely populated urban landscapes. As mobile data consumption continues to grow (driven by AI-enhanced devices and applications), addressing the problem of signal penetration in cities has become critical. SoftBank's tests are designed to test whether the 7GHz band can provide greater capabilities to balance the challenges of capacity and coverage.   In addition to its 6G ambitions, SoftBank is also making a big move in artificial intelligence. Its CEO Masayoshi Son has outlined the company's vision of leading the field of "super artificial intelligence" (ASI) within a decade. This bold strategy aims to emulate the dominance that tech giants such as Microsoft and Amazon have achieved in their respective fields. To achieve this vision, SoftBank is investing heavily in partnerships with companies such as OpenAI and Arm. These collaborations form part of its grand vision to build advanced artificial intelligence data centers across the United States through its multibillion-dollar Project Stargate.
