Malaysia successfully tests first 5.5G technology in Southeast Asia

Maxis, one of the oldest and largest telecommunications companies in Malaysia, announced on February 23 that it and Chinese tech giant Huawei have successfully staged the first 5G-Advanced technology trial in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
The ‘5G-Advanced Trial Showcase’ included a live speed test to demonstrate 5G-Advanced’s capabilities to achieve ultra-fast peak speeds of up to 8Gbps.

5G-Advanced, also known as 5.5G, promises up to 10 times improvement in speed, connected devices, and latency compared to 5G.

Chairman of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) Tan Sri Mohamad Salim bin Fateh Din said that this 5.5G trial demonstrates the potential of Malaysia’s telecommunications sector to contribute meaningfully to advancing communications connectivity.

He expressed his hope that more industry players will pioneer innovative technologies that will help Malaysian enterprises move up the value chain through next-generation commercial and industrial solutions. This will position Malaysia as a front-runner in telecommunications globally, he added.

New solar technology produces clean energy and heat
International researchers have developed a new type of solar module that can produce electricity and heat from the sun’s rays. The module uses a curved mirror to concentrate the sunlight onto a row of photovoltaic cells, which convert the light into electricity. The excess heat from the cells is then transferred to a fluid that can be used for heating or cooling.

The module, which Armin Buchroithner designed from the Institute of Electrical Measurement and Sensor Systems at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and his colleagues, is based on a concept that has been around since the 1970s but has never been implemented successfully due to high costs and technical challenges. However, the researchers have overcome these obstacles by introducing three key innovations in their project: ECOSun—Economic COgeneration by Efficiently COncentrated SUNlight.
