Reinforced advantages enabled stable growth in TSP business

We actively implemented the state strategies of “Cyberpower” and “Digital China”, strengthened resource coordination and sharing, and enhanced operational efficiencies. We worked closely with TSPs to increase 5G network construction to fully meet customer network construction needs, while continuing to promote the expansion of 5G network coverage in breadth and depth. This has solidified the foundation for our TSP business to achieve high-quality development. In the first half of 2024, our TSP business generated revenue of RMB42,121 million, an increase of 3.0% year-on-year.

Tower business. Through tackling the Dual-Gigabit network joint-entry and challenging projects, as well as special projects such as signal strength upgrade and extension of broadband coverage to all border areas, we used this core competency to help us generate business results. We focused on key scenarios such as high-speed railways and residential properties, as well as new construction needs for low-frequency network construction, relocation and reconstruction. We increased our efforts in tackling difficult sites, reduced entry barriers and costs, and were able to fully meet new construction demands from customers. By adhering to the philosophy of being client-focused across the entire process of demand matching and acquisition, order delivery, billing and payment collection, we consistently optimized our management mechanisms, enhanced service capabilities and customer satisfaction. We developed and deployed a 3D indoor and outdoor simulation support system to visualize the coverage of planned sites and construction solutions, helping TSPs accurately implement their 5G network plans.

DAS business. With the implementation of “co-build and co-share” policies and the “Technical Standard for Mobile Communications Infrastructure Engineering of Buildings” issued by fourteen ministries and committees as the starting point, we strengthened our coordination and sharing capabilities for key scenarios such as large transportation hubs, landmark buildings, subways, large venues, Grade 3A hospitals, and tertiary institutions. We collaborated with customers to carry out 5G upgrades on high-speed railways, expanded the scale of demand for high-value business scenarios, and effectively improved services to support new DAS segments. Leveraging our advantages of coordinated site entry and construction, and the co-built and co-share policies, we actively implemented special projects for covering elevators and underground parking lots to help TSPs quickly and efficiently improve network coverage in people’s livelihood scenarios and achieve signal strength upgrade. We continued to enhance product and solution design capabilities, capitalizing on our competitive advantages in cost, service quality as well as green and low-carbon operations. We enhanced our innovation of DAS shared products, which enabled us to provide customers with differentiated active and passive DAS sharing solutions, helping satisfy the demand for 5G upgrading of existing DAS. In the first half of 2024, our revenue from DAS business reached RMB4,164 million, an increase of 21.6% compared to the same period last year. As of 30 June 2024, we had covered buildings with a cumulative area of 11,540 million square meters, up by 30.8% year-on-year, while the coverage in high-speed railway tunnels and subways totaled a cumulative length of 26,385 kilometers, representing an increase of 19.2% over the same period last year.

Seized opportunities to maintain healthy growth of Two Wings business

In the first half of 2024, we seized opportunities brought by the development of the “Digital Economy” and the “Dual Carbon” goals.

In the first half of 2024, the revenue of the Two Wings business reached RMB6,005 million and accounted for 12.4% of our overall operating revenue, an increase of 0.9 percentage point over the same period last year.

Smart Tower business. Leveraging our resource of mid-to-high point sites, we continued the upgrading of “telecommunication towers” to “digital towers” and “telecommunication shelters” to “digital shelters”. This enabled us to better support the development strategies of “Digital China” and “Beautiful China”, while driving rapid growth in our business. We enhanced our Smart Tower business across vertical businesses, expanding our mid-to-high point site resources to serve and support more than 40 industry segments including environmental protection, land, forestry and grassland, water resources, and emergency response. We maintained our market leadership in scenario-based solutions including straw-burning prohibition, supervision of oil and gas pipelines, and farmland protection. We enhanced product innovation, improved core competencies in platforms, algorithms, industry applications and products, and fortified the distributed deployment on our platform and centralized data operations. The resourceful open algorithm warehouse provides 160 mid-to-high point site-specific algorithms to serve multiple segmented scenarios. We intensified collaboration within the ecosystem. We carried out in-depth collaboration with partners along the industry chain in various aspects such as algorithm, platform, applications, and terminals, and actively built up an ecosystem of win-win collaboration. The ecosystem effectively drove resource circulation and led industry development. We enhanced our “companion” service system, developing and upgrading products and applications to meet customer needs. We improved our professional network management platform, scaled the promotion of intelligent terminal monitoring and integrated distribution units (IDU), reinforced our localized support and services, responded to customer demands in a timely manner, and continuously improved customer satisfaction.

For our battery exchange business, we continued to optimize our service quality through product developments and upgrades, achieving steady expansion of our customer base. As of 30 June 2024, we had approximately 1.217 million battery exchange users, an increase of 72,000 from the end of 2023, further maintaining our leading position in the market for battery exchange for low-speed electric vehicles. In addition, the Company leveraged the opportunities brought by national policies on safe charging and our own capabilities and advantages, promoted the economic and efficient layout of community charging infrastructure and provided safe and convenient battery charging services for low-speed electric vehicles to the community and laid the foundation for expanding the customer base of battery exchange business. In our power backup business, we tapped into key sectors, focused on typical scenarios, and vigorously expanded “service-oriented” power backup model. With standardized power backup products as its core, we combined digital monitoring, energy consumption, and safety services to form a comprehensive “power backup +” solution and build “energy butler” service brand. In the first half of 2024, our Energy business achieved revenue of RMB2,023 million, a year-on-year increase of 2.4%, of which the battery exchange business accounted for RMB1,163 million, with its contribution to the Energy business reaching 57.5%.

Increased research and development to drive rapid improvement of scientific and technological innovation

The Company further promoted the working mechanisms including the “four lists” of competencies and capabilities, task and project planning, resource allocation, and the commercialization of research outcomes, and accelerated improvements in scientific and technological innovation. We increased R&D in key core technologies, focused on cutting-edge technologies and industry advancement, laid out ten major research tasks for areas including future sectors and intelligent operation and maintenance, established a list of key core technologies, intensified our R&D efforts, and made progress in various ITU international standards-setting projects.

Safeguard your investments: Octa’s guide to preventing financial fraud


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 August 2024 – The prevalence of investment fraud is increasing globally, with Malaysia and Singapore seeing significant rises in such incidents. As financial markets become more accessible, scammers have devised sophisticated methods to deceive unsuspecting investors. In this environment, being aware of modern types of scams is crucial for protecting personal finances and investments. Experts at Octa, a broker with globally recognised licenses, share facts about the most common investment fraud types and how to avoid them.

Octa

Common types of investment fraud
When navigating the financial landscape, it’s crucial to be aware of the various types of fraud that can undermine your investments. Here are three common types of investment fraud that we might encounter today.

Pyramid schemes
Pyramid schemes entice investors with promises of high returns with little risk. These schemes rely on recruiting new investors to pay returns to earlier investors, creating an unsustainable cycle. Eventually, the scheme collapses when there are not enough recruits to pay returns, leaving many investors at a loss. Understanding how these schemes operate and recognising their warning signs, such as unrealistic promises and recruitment-based rewards, can help to avoid falling victim to them.

Fake brokers
Fraudulent brokers employ various deceptive tactics to lure investors. They may offer unrealistically high returns and use high-pressure sales tactics to push investors into making haste decisions without proper verification. Fake brokers often have slick, professional-looking websites and persuasive sales pitches but lack proper licensing and regulation. Being aware of these tactics and knowing how to verify a broker’s credentials can protect you from losing investment to a scam.

Fraudulent investment offers
Scammers often use unsolicited offers via email, phone, or social media to entice investors with guaranteed profits. These offers can be particularly convincing, using official-sounding language and professional marketing materials. However, legitimate investment opportunities rarely come with guaranteed returns, and unsolicited offers should always be approached with caution. Learning to recognise the hallmarks of fraudulent investment offers can help to prevent from potential financial loss.

Identifying signs of investment fraud
Recognising the signs of fraud is essential for protecting investments. Here are key indicators to identify potential scams.

1. Unrealistic promises
One of the most common red flags of investment fraud is the promise of high returns with little or no risk. All investments carry some level of risk, and any offer that suggests otherwise is likely a scam. Scammers prey on the desire for quick, easy profits, but understanding that high returns usually come with high risk can help you spot and avoid fraudulent schemes.

2. Pressure tactics
Legitimate brokers will provide the information required to make informed decisions and will not rush people into making a quick investment. Scammers often use high-pressure tactics, such as limited-time offers or urgent calls to action, to create a sense of urgency and prevent from conducting due diligence. Knowing that legitimate investment opportunities will still be available after careful consideration can help to avoid falling for these pressure tactics.

3. Lack of transparency
Fraudulent schemes often lack clear information about the business, investment strategy, or the individuals behind the company. If investors cannot find detailed and verifiable information about an investment opportunity, it is likely a scam. Transparency is a key component of a legitimate investment, and any ambiguity should be a major red flag.

4. Unregulated brokers
Always check if the broker is registered with financial regulatory authorities. Unregistered brokers operate outside the law and do not protect your investments. Verifying a broker’s registration and regulatory status can help ensure that your investments are protected and that you are dealing with a legitimate entity.

Practical tips to protect your finances

  • Verify broker credentials
    It is crucial to always check the broker’s credentials and ensure they are licensed by relevant regulatory bodies. Trusted brokers like Octa, with globally recognised licenses, provide a secure trading environment and adhere to strict regulatory standards. Ensuring that the broker is properly licensed can protect you from fraudulent schemes and provide peace of mind.
  • Educate yourself
    Continuous learning about financial markets and fraud prevention is essential.

Enhancing your financial literacy can empower you to make informed decisions and recognise potential scams before they affect you.
  • Secure personal information
    Safeguarding your personal data is vital in preventing fraud. Use strong, unique passwords for your accounts, enable two-factor authentication, and be cautious about sharing sensitive information online. These practices can help protect you from identity theft and unauthorised access, keeping your investments secure.
  • Stay informed about the latest scams
    Subscribing to updates from financial regulatory authorities can keep you aware of new and emerging scams. Staying informed enables you to recognise and avoid potential threats before they impact your finances. Regularly checking trustworthy sources for updates on investment fraud trends is a proactive step in protecting your investments.

Staying vigilant and informed is essential to protect your personal finances from fraud. By applying the tips shared, investors can enhance their financial security and protect their funds. This allows investors to use modern financial solutions with confidence and focus on increasing the funds.
