SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 1 March 2022 – Recently, Justin Sun, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Grenada to the WTO, tweeted that he had donated $200,000 for humanitarian aid to Ukraine through TRON DAO to help tide the Ukrainian people over the crisis.

It is reported that Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, announced the addresses for Bitcoin, Ether, and USDT (TRC20) donations on Twitter on February 26, and received hundreds of donations worth more than $3 million in less than 24 hours.

On Twitter, Vitalik Buterin also called on people to help Ukrainians by donating cryptos to UkraineDAO.

Following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, global organizations such as the United Nations expressed concern about the humanitarian crisis that Ukraine might face. On February 24, António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, announced the allocation of $20 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to meet the urgent humanitarian needs in Ukraine and its surrounding regions. According to a press release from the UN Secretary-General’s office, the United Nations will launch a funding appeal on March 1 for its humanitarian operations in Ukraine.

PolyU’s International Summer School 2022 offers both credit-bearing courses and participation in the Leadership Academy for Responsible Global Citizenship – a pioneering leadership and service-learning exchange programme. Applicants can choose to join both parts or only sign up for either one, allowing maximum flexibility to suit their schedules. The programme will be conducted both face-to-face and online.

The credit-bearing courses offer an array of intellectually stimulating subjects in three thematic areas, namely “Chinese Language, Culture and Society”, “Design, Innovation and Technology”, and “Business, Entrepreneurship and Global Leadership”.

Meanwhile, under the Leadership Academy, participants will join one credit-bearing service-learning subject to learn about the social issues related to their service targets, apply their professional knowledge and skills (e.g., fashion design, augmented reality, vision screening, and air quality testing) in a service project, and develop their sense of global citizenship.

With the aim of helping overseas participants blend into the local life and culture, the PolyU International Summer School has a Buddy Programme that matches incoming participants with PolyU students, thus encouraging intercultural communication between PolyU students and the global community. The programme will also provide fun-filled, inspiring, and engaging cultural exchange activities, allowing participants to discover the vibrancy and diversity of Hong Kong.

The summer programme is now open for undergraduate student applications from overseas, Mainland China and Taiwan until 31 March 2022. For details and to learn more about what past participants have said about the PolyU summer programme, please visit: https://www.polyu.edu.hk/summerschool/.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 1 March 2022 – Comba Telecom Systems Holdings Limited (“Comba Telecom” or “the Group”, SEHK stock code: 2342), a global leading wireless solutions provider, today announced that Comba Network Systems Company Limited (“Comba Network“), an indirect subsidiary of Comba Telecom has completed an Open RAN deployment in the network of Turkcell, a telecommunications and technology services provider founded and headquartered in Turkey, to support the RAN architecture transformation of the Turkcell Group, starting from the first trial in Turkey.

Comba Network is a pioneering Open RAN hardware supplier that has leveraged its future-proof solutions to help inspire the telecom industry to shift to Open RAN. Through the Turkcell collaboration, Comba Network provided Open RAN compliant Remote Radio Units (“RRU”) to allow Turkcell to run its first Open RAN trial in Turkey and convert its RAN infrastructure to a more valuable digitalized and virtualized architecture supporting the roll-out of 4G/5G networks.

Engineered with multi-radio access technology (“multi-RAT”) and multi-band support, Comba Network’s RRU enables 4G/5G simultaneously in a single unit, which will support network technology transformation in the coming years. Compliant with the O-RAN Alliance 7.2x functional split, the RRU provides open C/U/S-plane and M-plane interfaces to the baseband unit (“BBU”) and the operation and management (“OAM”) system via the industry-standard eCPRI interfaces. High power efficiency and innovative mechanical design greatly reduce energy consumption, footprint and weight, hence cutting the Operating Expenses (” OPEX”).

Ms. Marie Ma, General Manager of Comba Telecom Network Systems Limited, said, “Comba Network has developed a solid partnership with Turkcell, providing complete wireless solutions for over a decade. We have constantly innovated products suited to local requirements. This is made possible due to the continued technical feedback and support from Turkcell. We believe this partnership will forge closer ties and cooperation in network architecture evolution.”

Ms. Ma added, “Comba Network takes an active role in the Open RAN ecosystem. We are currently the contributor of O-RAN Alliance and a member of Telecom Infra Project’s (“TIP”) OpenRAN project group, actively participating in Open RAN projects. Comba Network will continue to expand our participation in the Open RAN arena, extend the strategic partnership and collaboration with industry stakeholders, help boost the growth and development of the open platform ecosystem, and support Open RAN innovators like Turkcell to propel radio technologies.”

Dr. Gediz Sezgin, Chief Technology Officer of Turkcell, said, “Turkcell is a pioneer in digital transformation and as part of this motivation, most of our mobile core network has been virtualized on Turkcell Telco Cloud Platform. We are fully convinced with the advantages of virtualization and believe that open Radio Access Network interfaces will accelerate innovation in the 5G era. We are excited to partner with Comba and will continue to lead this journey towards fully virtualized next-generation mobile networks thanks to our broad expertise in RAN technologies and network virtualization.”
