KOMAKI, Japan, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Santec AOC Corporation (hereinafter “Santec AOC”), headquartered in Komaki City, Aichi Prefecture, has announced the development of its latest product, the SLM-310, a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS)-based spatial light modulator engineered to withstand 1kW-class laser power in the near-infrared spectrum (1-micrometer band). Designed for advanced industrial applications such as metal 3D printing and precision laser processing, the SLM-310 combines high-reliability LCOS technology with newly developed liquid crystal materials, offering exceptional light resistance.
Near-infrared lasers are widely used in material processing, particularly for metals and plastics. The SLM-310 spatial light modulator significantly enhances precision and processing efficiency, and minimizes thermal effects on materials during metal processing. When integrated into laser processing machines — such as welders, hole drillers and cutters, and metal 3D printers — it enables more accurate and controlled processing.
The SLM-310 supports advanced laser processing techniques that are not achievable with traditional galvanometer scanner technology. By enabling beam shaping and multi-point laser irradiation with 1kW-class lasers, it delivers new value to metal additive manufacturing (3D printing) applications.
Product Innovation and Development
A reflective LCOS-based SLM enables precise phase control of light, allowing for a wide range of optical functions such as beam deflection and shape transformation. While Santec AOC has previously developed LCOS-SLMs capable of tolerating up to 500W of optical power, higher power resistance became essential for demanding metal-processing applications.
In response, the newly developed SLM-310 incorporates a water-cooling system and is designed to handle up to 1kW of laser power — twice the light tolerance of its predecessors. This advancement significantly extends the SLM’s applicability in high-power industrial environments.

BEIJING, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Beneath the waves of the South China Sea lies a hidden network of communication lines—essential yet largely unseen.
This is the world of submarine cables, which handle more than 99% of intercontinental data traffic and are quietly building a new digital bridge across one of the world‘s most strategically complex regions.
Catching a Wave 2, CGTN‘s new documentary, offers exclusive access to the SEA-H2X cable project—an ambitious China-ASEAN collaboration linking China with the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and beyond. With a design capacity of 160 terabits per second, SEA-H2X is not just infrastructure—it‘s a lifeline for the digital age.
“Submarine cables are more than business—they‘re shared arteries connecting societies,” says Chief Engineer Mu Chunbo.
The South China Sea has become one of the world‘s most densely packed cable corridors. Over 15 international submarine cable systems are now operating or under construction there, with a total length exceeding 80,000 kilometers. These cables are central to the region‘s digital future.
Spearheaded by a consortium that includes China Mobile International, China Unicom Global, the Philippines‘ Converge ICT, and Malaysia‘s PPTEL—and built by China‘s HMN Tech—the SEA-H2X system is expected to be operational by 2025. In September 2024, the cable landed in Bauang, La Union, on the northern coast of the Philippines. Converge CEO Dennis Anthony Uy says the project will strengthen regional connectivity and meet bandwidth demand for the next 10 to 15 years.
Laying these digital highways underwater is no small feat—especially when they pass through areas with maritime disputes. Yet, international cooperation remains essential.
“Whatever the external environment is like, we‘ll always maintain an open and cooperative mindset,” says Ding Hongqing, Deputy Director of the Planning and Construction Department at China Mobile. “The more open we are, the more opportunities there will be—for us, and for the world.”
From the deep sea to the digital frontier, Catching a Wave 2 highlights how cooperation and connectivity are quietly transforming the region—beneath the surface, and beyond the headlines.
ANE Kicks Off 2025 Q1 with Strong Results: Adjusted Net Profit amounted to RMB242 Million, with New Peak of Profit Margin
SHANGHAI, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ANE (9956.HK), China’s leading less-than-truckload (LTL) express freight operator, reported robust first-quarter results demonstrating synchronized growth across key metrics. The company delivered a 15.9% year-on-year increase in adjusted net profit to RMB242 million, with adjusted net profit margin expanding to 9.4% – a new peak that underscores its enhanced operational efficiency.
During the reporting period, ANE also recorded:
LTL freight volume of 3.05 million tons (+5.9% YoY)
Revenue of RMB2.59 billion (+8.8% YoY)
The performance validates ANE’s strategic focus on “quality-driven scale growth” under its “Five Most” operational framework: most dense network coverage, most optimal cost, most superior service quality, most stable timelines, and most timely service response.
Network Expansion and Product Optimization ANE’s freight partner and agent network has reached 36,000 service outlets by quarter-end, maintaining its leadership position in China’s express freight sector. The company strengthened competitiveness in the mini and light freight segment (<300kg), achieving:
18.4% YoY volume growth in sub-300kg shipments
17.3% reduction in freight weight per shipment to 75kg
50.6% decrease in number of complaints per 100k shipments
Operational Efficiency Enhancement through Refined Management Digital transformation initiatives, along with investment in technologies, drove significant cost optimization and service quality improvement
Transportation and sorting costs per ton reduced by RMB4/ton
Average shipment time shortened by 10.7%
Loss rate per 100k shipments plunged 68.2%
Supply Chain Transformation and Market Consolidation With China’s economy transitions into high-quality growth stage, the logistics sector is accelerating its agile transformation across supply chains. This shift is driven by the “small-batch, high-frequency; low-inventory, rapid-turnover” paradigm now reshaping commercial flows across retail, manufacturing, and commercial sectors – a structural change demanding hyper-responsive logistics networks favoring nationwide express freight networks gaining share in the LTL market. Industry data shows nationwide express freight providers gained 14% market share in 2024 while regional LTL and special line operators contracted.
It’s notable that the company also increased e-commerce-related shipments to 36% of total volume, consolidating partnerships with major platforms including TEMU, Douyin, 1688, and PDD.
Sector Dynamics Favor Market Leaders The express freight sector exhibits accelerating consolidation, with top 5 players commanding 82% of industry revenue and 65.5% of total shipments among top 10 competitors. ANE recently topped both China’s LTL 50 and Express Freight 10 rankings for franchise operators.
Industrial Securities maintains a “Buy” rating on ANE, citing its nationwide network density and operational efficiency as key differentiators. Analysts anticipate continued market share gains as industry upgrades drive supply chain modernization.
