KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- Hytera Communications, a leading global provider of professional communications technologies and solutions, has recently expanded its DMR mobile two-way radio portfolio by releasing two new models, HM68X and HM65X.

As part of Hytera’s new generation DMR radio H Series, HM68X/65X are designed to provide reliable voice and data connectivity for workers on the road, no matter they are drivers delivering packages, technicians maintaining electrical lines, or security patrols across campus.

The modular and compact design makes HM6 mobiles easy to install, remove and operate in the vehicle. HM68X is equipped with keys and a transflective display, which is readable both in direct sunlight and under poor illumination. 

HM65X doesn’t have a display or keys on the main unit; instead, it works with a hand-held control head (HHCH), which makes HM65X even more flexible to install under the seat, in the trunk, or anywhere in the vehicle, according to a statement.

In addition, the HM6 series mobiles deliver superb audio in noisy environments. The AI-based noise cancellation filters out echoes and background noises such as horn and engine sounds.

Thanks to the high receiver sensitivity, HM6 mobiles deliver clear and dependable communications even in the area where the signal is unstable or weak. They operate in either analog or digital mode.

For businesses having an analog system in place, the analog/digital compatibility allows smooth migration with minimal disruption. Besides reliable voice calls, HM6 series mobile radios provide various services including text messages, data transmission, and emergency alarm.

Cloudflare R2 Storage now generally available for developers

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 22 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance, and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, has announced that Cloudflare R2 Storage, the distributed object storage that eliminates egress costs, is now generally available.

Cloudflare R2 Storage offers a better way for developers to store and access everything they need. Whether it's storage for large media files, logs, or delivery of web assets, Cloudflare R2 offers flexibility with zero egress fees.

According to a statement, R2 gives developers both an S3-compatible API, making for seamless migration and a powerful integration with Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare’s highly scalable serverless computing platform.

“We have been blown away by the initial interest in R2 Storage, and we encourage any developer that wants a better type of storage to sign up and switch to R2 today,” said Cloudflare co-founder and chief executive officer, Matthew Prince.

In order to build websites and applications, developers need a place to store large amounts of unstructured data, photos, videos, and graphics that is quickly and easily accessible.

However, many cloud providers today charge increasingly egregious bandwidth pricing for developers to access their data, resulting in unnecessarily expensive cloud storage, vendor lock-in, and an inability for developers to easily use the data they have stored.

Cloudflare R2 Storage frees developers from this vendor lock-in with automatic migration of data from S3-compatible services to Cloudflare’s highly performant, object store—minus the egress fees.

Since launching the R2 Storage service as an open beta eight weeks ago, more than 11,000 developers have an active account with R2 Storage.

Global Competition Celebrates Youth Entrepreneurship and the Power of Innovative Thinking

DALLAS, Sept 19 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Mary Kay Inc., a leading corporate advocate of women’s empowerment and entrepreneurship, announces its third annual World Series of Innovation (WSI) challenge in partnership with Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE). The global competition invites young people ages 13-24 to put their critical thinking skills to the test and get involved in solving some of the biggest challenges humanity faces today to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
 
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220915005847/en/

Mary Kay’s WSI challenge kicks off September 15 in conjunction with World Clean Up Day. The Mary Kay challenge encourages young entrepreneurs to submit innovative solutions to address UN SDG 14: Life Below Water. Specifically, students are challenged to design a solution to further the conservation and/or protection of the world’s marine ecosystems and coastal communities.

“All life on Earth began in and depends on our oceans. Water is the most valuable resource on our planet, and it’s essential that we not only respect it, but do our part to protect it,” said Deborah Gibbins, Chief Operating Officer for Mary Kay Inc. “The next generation of global thinkers and leaders are already addressing these critical areas of concern and spearheading conservation efforts. We are excited to see how the world’s youth can help to advance ecosystems and biodiversity conservation globally.”

In its first year partnering with the NFTE World Series of Innovation in 2020, Mary Kay sponsored a WSI challenge for UN SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Young entrepreneurs were encouraged to design a product, service or initiative that promoted the reuse or upcycling of textiles.

“Mary Kay Global Oceans Conservations Challenge dares our young WSI competitors to think big about water quality,” said Dr. J.D. LaRock, President and CEO of NFTE. “In classrooms, students learn that water is fundamental to a healthy ecosystem. Through experiences like WSI, however, they become empowered to sustain that resource. They can ideate ways to look after marine life, safeguard oceans, secure affordable access to clean drinking water, protect water resources from pollution, address overconsumption, or otherwise help preserve our ecosystem for generations to come. That’s powerful.”

NFTE is a global educational non-profit focused on bringing the power of entrepreneurship to low-income communities. Since its founding more than 35 years ago, NFTE has trained thousands of teachers and educated well over a million young people worldwide. Every fall, NFTE launches a new set of challenges for the WSI competition and invites corporate sponsors to address the UN SDGs.

DECARBONISING AUSTRALIA'S MINING SECTOR BEYOND RENEWABLES HIGHLIGHTED IN TIMELY BLACK & VEATCH EBOOK

Global infrastructure solutions provider identifies opportunities to achieve cost-effective, deep decarbonisation for Australia’s heavy industry

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept 1 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Integrating mining infrastructure solutions across power, water and other critical technologies provides Australia’s mining industry with opportunities to overcome sustainability challenges at every stage of the mining process.
 
In its new eBook, Beyond Renewables: Impactful Decarbonisation of Australia’s Mining Sector, Black & Veatch examines emerging opportunities and provides insights into decarbonising Australia’s mining operations.

The eBook acknowledges that while mining companies have made substantial progress in recent years, many with long-established sustainability programs, opportunities have emerged to accelerate the impact of their decarbonisation efforts.

In the eBook, Black & Veatch’s water and energy experts propose that developing robust decarbonisation roadmaps will help mining companies manage and understand limited budgets, technology timelines and complex regulations over potentially a 30-year span, a timeframe similar to making major infrastructure investments.

“Decarbonisation strategies require the long view. When planning phases span decades, it is important to avoid the consequences of getting locked into path dependency or stranded assets by having a clear understanding of technology maturity and cost. We provide this clarity through our deployment of a diverse range of technologies, combined with our objective assessment of the maturity of emerging technologies,” said Mick Scrivens, Vice President, Director, Australia Pacific, Black & Veatch.

Decarbonisation roadmaps will help mining companies evaluate competing commercially-ready and emerging technologies, and present a de-risked pathway to zero emissions. Such roadmaps demonstrate to investors and communities that mining operators are systematically analysing the economic and operational feasibility of each infrastructure investment along the timeline.

The eBook also covers a range of other topics of interest including green hydrogen production, long-term energy storage, fleet and equipment electrification, direct air capture, net-zero water recycling, emissions-free explosives, small modular reactor nuclear power as well as future revenue opportunities through electricity production after mine closure.

Scrivens will be speaking about Australia’s opportunities for decarbonisation at NT Resources Week in August.
