SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 November 2026 – Huawei today officially launched Signals of Change, a new documentary series that, for the first time, charts the company’s major technological innovations in wireless communications over more than three decades. Produced by Huawei in collaboration with CNN International’s brand studio Create, the series will be broadcast worldwide.

Huawei’s wireless business began in 1994, but it was in the early 2000s that it began to break into international markets. Huawei developed its distributed base station innovation, marking a historic breakthrough into the European wireless communications market. From its early struggles to gain a foothold to its determined progress in recent years, Huawei has consistently sought to overcome obstacles through innovation and meet challenges with resilience, continuing to advance amid technological transformation and intense market competition.

Through real-world scenarios such as high-speed rail connectivity, network coverage in extreme environments, and connectivity at major sporting events, the documentary hears from representatives of leading global telecom operators, industry analysts, Huawei executives, and R&D experts. It revisits landmark innovations including Distributed Base Stations, SingleRAN, Massive MIMO, and “0 Bit 0 Watt”, tracing Huawei’s journey from an industry newcomer to a leader in technological innovation and industry development.

From Distributed Base Stations to SingleRAN: Driving Mobile Network Deployment Through Architectural Innovation

On a high-speed train traveling at nearly 350 kilometers per hour, a surgeon can download hundreds of CT scan images over a mobile network to provide timely remote medical consultations. At altitudes exceeding 6,000 meters in the Mount Everest region, scientific researchers can stay connected with colleagues thousands of miles away through real-time video links, enabling remote scientific collaboration. From high-speed railways to the roof of the world, the first two episodes of the documentary explore how mobile communications technology continues to overcome the limitations of speed and geography. To trace the architectural innovations behind these advances, the story takes us back more than two decades to the early days of 3G network deployment in Europe.

In the early 2000s, European telecom operators faced significant challenges in deploying 3G networks, including difficulties in acquiring sites, lengthy deployment cycles, and high costs. In 2004, Huawei engineers visited customer sites to gain firsthand insights into these challenges and pioneered a distributed base station architecture comprising a compact Baseband Unit (BBU) and Remote Radio Units (RRUs). This innovation enabled operators to deploy network equipment more flexibly while significantly reducing network construction costs. Huawei’s distributed base stations were first deployed in the Netherlands in 2005, followed by large-scale commercial deployment in Spain in 2006. Over time, the distributed base station became a mainstream architecture for mobile network deployment worldwide.

As the coexistence of 2G, 3G, and other mobile networks created growing challenges of duplicated infrastructure, Huawei made further breakthroughs in key technologies, including GSM multi-carrier digital predistortion (DPD), and introduced its SingleRAN solution. By integrating multiple radio access technologies on a unified hardware platform, SingleRAN enabled operators to deploy different network standards together and smoothly evolve their networks across successive generations of mobile technology. In 2008, a German telecom operator became the first in Germany to deploy Huawei’s multi-mode base station solution, marking the beginning of SingleRAN’s commercial adoption in Europe. Since then, SingleRAN has been widely deployed around the world, driving the evolution of mobile networks toward multi-band, multi-mode integration while helping operators significantly reduce network deployment and operating costs.

From Massive MIMO to Polar Code Implementation: Turning Cutting-Edge Research into Real-World Applications

At the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center, 62,356 football fans gathered for the Su Super League final. Spectators shared highlights in real time on their smartphones, with photos, videos, and live-streaming data flowing rapidly across mobile networks. This high-density connectivity, featured in Episode 3, reflects the explosive growth in data demand in the mobile internet era. How to accommodate ever-increasing data traffic using limited spectrum resources has long been a major technical challenge for the mobile communications industry.

Huawei has continuously invested in Massive MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) research, leveraging innovations such as large-scale antenna arrays to bring this cutting-edge technology from theoretical research to commercial deployment. In 2015, Huawei worked with an operator partner in Shanghai to successfully validate Massive MIMO in a commercial network environment. Today, Massive MIMO has become one of the key technologies underpinning 5G networks, laying a solid technological foundation for the world’s transition to the 5G era.

Meanwhile, Huawei has continued to explore innovations in fundamental research. In 2008, Turkish scientist Erdal Arıkan introduced the theory of Polar Codes, opening up a new direction in channel coding technology. Building on this theoretical breakthrough, Huawei invested in Polar Code encoding and decoding algorithms and system-level validation. In 2016, through the efforts of Huawei and global industry partners, Polar Codes were selected by 3GPP as the coding scheme for 5G enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) control channels, becoming an important part of the international 5G standard.

From MetaAAU to “0 Bit 0 Watt”: Delivering Superior Network Performance with Ultra-Low Energy Consumption

Episode 4 shifts the focus to the green transformation of wireless networks. As demand for mobile connectivity continues to grow, reducing network energy consumption while meeting rising performance requirements has become a shared challenge for telecom operators worldwide.

In 2021, Huawei launched MetaAAU, its next-generation Massive MIMO product. Through innovations including ultra-large-scale antenna arrays, MetaAAU pushed beyond the performance limitations of conventional antenna architectures. By enhancing network coverage while reducing energy consumption by approximately 30%, MetaAAU has helped operators achieve both higher network performance and greater energy efficiency.

In 2021, Huawei and its European customers jointly introduced the “0 Bit 0 Watt” concept. Through coordinated innovations in hardware, materials, software, and intelligent network management, the solution enables wireless equipment to enter ultra-deep sleep modes during periods of low traffic and wake up on demand, reducing network energy consumption while maintaining user experience. In 2024, the solution received the GSMA GLOMO Award for “Best Mobile Technology Breakthrough”, offering a new technological pathway for telecom operators worldwide to advance their green transformation.

A Journey of Relentless Innovation: Driven by Customer Needs and Scientific Advancement

From transforming base station architectures to enabling multi-standard network integration, from breakthroughs in key algorithms to contributing to global standards, and from continuous product evolution to achieving ultra-low energy consumption, Huawei’s journey of wireless innovation over more than three decades has been guided by a consistent commitment: addressing customer needs to drive innovation and scientific exploration to push technological boundaries. These efforts have continuously advanced global network capabilities, creating new possibilities for the digital economy and a more connected society.

For the period of 6 months, April to September 2026, the solution detected 2,171,513 hacking tool usage attempts

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, November 9, 2026/APO Group/ –Recent statistics compiled from detection alerts within Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack (KATA)* reveal the hacking tools most often used for lateral movement across enterprise infrastructures, highlighting the pressing need for reliable network security solutions to protect corporate environments.

 




  

Recent investigations into cyber-espionage groups show that attackers increasingly avoid detectable malware, choosing instead to blend into legitimate corporate network traffic (https://apo-opa.co/4BWK3AY). By weaponising dual-use tools and administrative utilities already present in the system, they move laterally across the domain undetected to harvest credentials and locate high-value assets. In this era of silent intrusion, Kaspersky shares insights into the most frequently used hacking tools to help organisations defend their networks.

For a decade, KATA, Kaspersky’s mature NDR solution, has been delivering comprehensive anti-APT protection. It features advanced threat detection, in-depth network traffic analysis, and centralised incident response to ensure full visibility across the entire network. Equipped with nearly 12,500 network detection rules in its database, KATA detects an average of 312,705 potential attacks daily.

For the period of 6 months, April to September 2026, the solution detected 2,171,513 hacking tool usage attempts. The following types of tools were detected most frequently:

This year, we are proudly celebrating the 10th anniversary of KATA

HackTool.Cobalt – 136,084 detections. While designed for security assessments, Cobalt Strike is also frequently used by malicious actors across various attack stages, including post-exploitation, lateral movement, and similar activities.

HackTool.NetExec – 129,560 detections. NetExec is used for automated network security assessments and discovering poorly secured network services. Its capabilities can also be exploited by attackers for reconnaissance and gaining system access.

HackTool.SQLMap – 107,697 detections. The SQLMap tool is used to automate the detection and exploitation of SQL injection vulnerabilities, which can allow unauthorised access to databases via web applications.

“Since advanced hacking tools may bypass endpoint defences, deploying Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution is critical to exposing silent anomalies and neutralising advanced attacks,” says Aren Torosyan, Product Manager at Kaspersky. “This year, we are proudly celebrating the 10th anniversary of KATA. Over this decade of innovation, backed by deep infrastructure expertise and rigorous research, KATA has established itself as a highly effective solution, helping clients worldwide protect their environments from even the most advanced, hidden threats across networks and endpoints. With the transition to the Open Single Management Platform planned for next year, advanced NDR capabilities will become even more comprehensive and accessible to security teams”.

The registration reinforces PhotonPay’s regulatory foundation for payment activities in Canada, with requirements covering operational risk management, incident response and the safeguarding of end-user funds.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 November 2025 – PhotonPay today announced that its Canadian operating entity, Photon Dance CA Inc., is now registered with the Bank of Canada as a payment service provider (PSP) under Canada’s Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA). The entity was previously registered with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) as a Money Services Business (MSB). The RPAA registration further strengthens PhotonPay’s regulatory foundation in Canada and supports its continued development of local financial services across North America.

 




  

The RPAA establishes a federal framework for the registration and supervision of PSPs conducting specified retail payment activities in Canada. Administered by the Bank of Canada, it sets requirements for operational risk management, incident response and regulatory reporting. PSPs that hold end-user funds are also required to implement measures to safeguard those funds, strengthening oversight and accountability across Canada’s retail payments ecosystem.

The Canadian registration adds to PhotonPay’s broader regulatory presence across North America. In the United States, PhotonPay is registered as a Money Services Business with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and holds money transmitter licenses across multiple U.S. states. Across the Americas, Europe and Asia, PhotonPay holds 35 payment licenses, regulatory authorizations and registrations, reflecting the regulatory breadth behind its operations across key financial markets.

For PhotonPay, building a global financial operating system requires more than connecting payment capabilities across markets. It also means developing the local regulatory and financial infrastructure needed to support those capabilities in each jurisdiction. As businesses expand internationally, their financial operations increasingly span different account structures, payment systems, currencies and regulatory environments. Bringing these functions together requires infrastructure that can address local market requirements while giving businesses a more unified way to manage their global finances.

This is the vision behind PhotonPay’s next-generation Financial OS. Through an integrated, API-first architecture, PhotonPay brings together multi-asset wallets, local collections, global payouts, foreign exchange, card issuing and embedded finance. By supporting both fiat currencies and stablecoins within its broader financial infrastructure, the platform connects traditional payment rails with emerging digital-asset capabilities, helping businesses manage increasingly complex financial operations across markets.

“Global financial infrastructure must be designed around the realities of the markets it serves. Regulatory frameworks, payment systems and the responsibilities involved in handling funds differ across jurisdictions, and these differences need to be accounted for at the infrastructure level,” said JP Pi, Global Chief Compliance Officer at PhotonPay. “Our approach is to build a Financial OS that brings together global capabilities while respecting the regulatory and operational requirements of each local market. The RPAA registration is another step in putting that approach into practice, as we continue developing infrastructure to support businesses operating across an increasingly interconnected financial landscape.”

Beyond the exhibition floor: How robots, AI and networks are moving into the real world

TONGXIANG, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 November 2026 – A robot makes coffee. Others dance, patrol exhibition halls or trade mock blows in choreographed demonstrations. Scenes like these were on full display at this year’s World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, which concluded on Nov 5 in the canal town of Wuzhen in eastern China.

Companies including Unitree Robotics, AgiBot and UBTECH used the “Light of Internet” Expo to show how far robots have come — and how close they may be to becoming part of everyday life.

 




 

 

But the expo was not only about spectacle. Many of the machines on display were being developed for tasks beyond the exhibition hall.

Evan Kail, an American content creator visiting the expo, paused in front of Unitree Robotics’ GD01, a robot designed for emergency-response scenarios.

Kail said the machine captured the pace of China’s progress in robotics. A few years ago, he said, Unitree robots were widely known for dancing in televised gala performances. Now, machines such as the GD01 pointed to more practical roles, including disaster response and search-and-rescue operations.

“The leaps of technology in China are very impressive,” Kail said. “As climate change gets worse and worse, robots like this can make a difference if they are used to save lives.”

The shift from eye-catching demonstrations to practical deployment was a recurring theme across the expo. But for robots to work reliably in crowded streets, disaster zones or industrial sites, the machine itself is only part of the equation. It also needs a network capable of carrying huge amounts of data, responding almost instantly and supporting AI decisions close to where they are needed.

At China Mobile’s booth, a display highlighted one example: traffic-management robots deployed in Hangzhou, the eastern Chinese city that hosted the 2023 Asian Games.

Earlier this year, during a peak holiday travel period, Hangzhou deployed 15 robots at major intersections in tourist areas and downtown districts. Part of the Hangzhou Police Smart Mobility program, they can answer questions, guide pedestrians and vehicles, and warn people about traffic violations.

The deployment illustrates how connectivity is becoming central to the usefulness of intelligent machines. The current system uses 5G and 5G-Advanced connections and typically supports one camera on each robot. Future versions are expected to carry as many as six cameras and operate more independently within defined areas.

That will require latency below 10 milliseconds, uplink speeds above 100 Mbps and positioning accurate to within centimeters — demands that are helping shape the development of 6G.

The next generation of mobile technology is still years from commercial deployment. But its ambitions extend beyond faster download speeds. Industry plans for 6G include combining communications with sensing, edge computing and satellite connectivity.

“With 6G, networks will effectively gain radar-like eyes — the ability to sense and understand their surroundings — while AI will give them a brain,” said Liang Zeshuai, a network optimization engineer at China Mobile Zhejiang.

In this vision, a base station would do more than transmit data. Equipped with radar-like sensing capabilities, it could detect a nearby drone, identify obstacles around a blind corner or provide an autonomous machine with a more detailed understanding of its surroundings. Edge computing, meanwhile, would allow AI tasks to be processed closer to the user, rather than sending every request to a distant data center.

That could matter especially in the kinds of situations Kail had in mind: complex and dangerous environments where time, connectivity and situational awareness can make a difference.

Satellite connectivity could provide another layer of resilience when typhoons, earthquakes or other disasters damage ground-based infrastructure. China Mobile has launched a direct-to-handset service using the Tiantong and BeiDou satellite systems.

For now, 5G-Advanced — a network that goes beyond 5G in speed and performance — has already been widely rolled out across China. In Wuzhen, a 5G-Advanced “super uplink” network with upload speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps covered the conference venue for the first time. Robot dogs used the network to patrol the area, transmitting 4K video and location data in real time.

The same combination of connectivity, computing and AI is moving into industries where the gains may be less visible than a dancing robot, but potentially more consequential.

China Mobile and Sinopharm, China’s state-owned pharmaceutical and healthcare conglomerate, for example, have developed an AI-enabled cold-chain logistics platform that has reduced delivery costs by 65% and cut delivery times by 70%. The system is designed to help manage the transport of temperature-sensitive products, where delays or poor monitoring can lead to waste.

At Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, China Mobile has built what it describes as the world’s largest 5G private network for port operations. Such networks can support real-time coordination among cranes, vehicles, cameras and control systems across a vast, fast-moving industrial site.

The company is also applying AI and connected systems to public safety and emergency management, including flood-control planning and drone inspections of buildings. The aim is not only to respond faster after an emergency, but to identify risks before they become crises.

At Wuzhen, the robots remained the most visible attraction. They made coffee, danced for visitors and posed for cameras. Yet the more consequential story was happening behind them — in the networks, computing systems and satellite links that could determine how quickly AI moves from a trade-show novelty into a tool for cities, industries and, potentially, lifesaving work.
