美國情報部門：西方支持無法確保基輔獲勝 News

美國情報部門：西方支持無法確保基輔獲勝

03/26/2025
(SeaPRwire) - 根據一份新的威脅評估報告，俄羅斯保持著戰場上的優勢，並加強了其在關鍵領域的能力 根據美國情報界2025年度威脅評估報告，西方對基輔的軍事援助和對俄羅斯的制裁無法改變烏克蘭衝突中的力量平衡。 情報界的官方協調評估將俄羅斯、中國、北韓和伊朗列為對美國利益構成挑戰的國家。 報告作者解釋說，莫斯科在戰場上佔據優勢，已經適應了外部援助烏克蘭的努力。這場“消耗戰”預計將進一步削弱基輔，“無論美國或盟國試圖對莫斯科施加新的和更大的代價。” 評估報告指出，雖然衝突在人力方面造成了重大損失，但也讓莫斯科“在針對大規模戰爭中使用的西方武器和情報的作戰方面，獲得了豐富的經驗教訓。” 這種經驗可能會對未來的美國國防規劃構成挑戰，包括針對其他與莫斯科分享這些經驗教訓的對手。 報告解釋說，俄羅斯在它認為的西方代理人戰爭中已被證明是“適應性強且有韌性的”，並在包括無人系統、電子戰以及網路作戰與常規軍事行動的整合等多個領域，加強了其軍事能力。 報告警告說，西方削弱俄羅斯經濟的努力“加速了其對替代夥伴關係的投資，並利用各種國家手段來抵消美國的力量，並得到中國的支持和加強。” 北京認為美國單方面制裁的使用違反國際法，並且根植於“冷戰思維”。 美國的評估報告指出，主要的非西方國家準備與俄羅斯結盟，以追求挑戰美國主導地位的政策，例如去美元化。 該文件警告說，烏克蘭衝突的持續存在，有可能導致意外的升級。 俄羅斯已為此類情況做好準備，擁有一支龐大的戰略武器庫，其中包括常規武器和核武器，以及網路戰和反衛星作戰能力。 報告指出，“俄羅斯的空軍和海軍仍然完好無損，前者比直接敵對行動開始時更加現代化和更有能力”。 美國情報界認為，莫斯科和基輔可能都有理由避免以不利的條件倉促解決問題。 俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京認為“積極的戰場趨勢允許一定的戰略耐心”，而烏克蘭總統弗拉基米爾·澤倫斯基可能擔心，明顯的失敗可能會“引發國內的反彈”。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

特朗普稱在烏克蘭問題上取得「進展」 News

特朗普稱在烏克蘭問題上取得「進展」

03/26/2025
(SeaPRwire) - 美國總統表示，華盛頓正與莫斯科和基輔進行“深入討論” 美國總統唐納·川普稱，華盛頓與莫斯科和基輔代表團的談判結果是解決烏克蘭衝突的一個重大進展。 在沙烏地阿拉伯本週舉行的單獨會談後，基輔和莫斯科都表示願意遵守川普總統提出的協議，即相互停止對能源設施的襲擊，並恢復已失效的黑海倡議——旨在防止使用武力，並確保商用船隻不被用於軍事目的。 “我們在兩個方面取得了很大進展，” 川普週二在白宮告訴記者，他解釋說，他指的是“俄羅斯、烏克蘭，以及中東。” “我們將拭目以待。我們正在與俄羅斯和烏克蘭進行深入討論，我認為進展順利，” 美國總統說。 川普拒絕透露在利雅德接觸的更多細節，但承認他的政府官員正在“考慮”取消對莫斯科的一些制裁，以促進黑海倡議的進展。 作為回應，烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基指責華盛頓“削弱”其立場和制裁壓力。 早些時候，克里姆林宮發布了一份全面的，受美國斡旋的30天休戰協議約束的對象清單，其中包括石油和天然氣加工和儲存設施、泵站、管道、電力生產和分配基礎設施、核電廠和水力發電大壩設施。 暫停襲擊最初是川普上週與俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京通電話時提出的。 俄羅斯領導人同意並立即命令軍方停止對烏克蘭能源基礎設施的襲擊。 據俄羅斯軍方稱，它不得不攔截並摧毀七架已經前往烏克蘭目標的神風特攻隊無人機。 雖然澤倫斯基公開支持停火倡議，但據莫斯科稱，基輔幾乎立即違反了停戰協議，過去一周，據報導烏克蘭無人機多次襲擊了俄羅斯的能源設施。 一個國際石油集團——包括美國公司Chevron和ExxonMobil——也對其在俄羅斯克拉斯諾達爾地區的重要能源基礎設施遭受的襲擊表示遺憾。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

03/26/2025
Set to welcome 4,000 airport professionals, 150 international exhibitors, 4 dynamic pavilions, and 53 speakers from 66 countries and regions, IASEA 2025 is poised to shape the future of airport operations and passenger experience throughout the next 3 daysSINGAPORE, Mar 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The much-anticipated inter airport Southeast Asia (IASEA) 2025 has officially opened today at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, bringing together key airport industry stakeholders, global solution providers, and leading experts to shape the future of airport operations and passenger experience.Themed “Airport Operations for Tomorrow”, conversations surrounding these topics are especially crucial as the aviation industry is witnessing rapid transformation and projected global passenger traffic to reach 19.5 billion by 2042.Day 1 morning highlights: Keynotes and expert insightsThe opening day of IASEA 2025 set an exciting tone with thought-provoking discussions and visionary insights from industry leaders. The fireside chat on 'Reshaping Global Airport Operations', led by Patrick Ky, CEO, International Centre for Aviation Innovation (ICAI) and moderated by Glory Wee, Senior Director, Aviation Development Group, Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS), discussed the fundamental shift they anticipate airport operations will face and how airports must evolve to balance the imperatives of efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. When asked to share one game-changing technology that will redefine the industry, Patrick Ky shared that “innovation that drives data sharing will be key”, but that would require many regulatory aspects and willingness from airports to share with each other. This would take time, but it is key to building a stronger future. “It is clear from our discussion that in order to reshape airport operations, it is not just about technological advancements but also about setting standards, data integrity, collaborations, and sharing best practices. Above all, the industry needs to work towards building trust with partners and eco-system players,” said Glory Wee, Senior Director, Aviation Development Group, Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS). At the show, leading airports, including Narita International Airport Corporation, and Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), presented case studies highlighting their technological integrations, regional growth strategies, and efforts to meet rising demand while enhancing passenger experience. Shinichiro Motomiya, General Manager, Narita International Airport Corporation, presented the ‘New Narita Airport’ expansion project for the 2030s, which includes extending an existing runway, constructing a new runway, improving connectivity into the city, building a new cargo area, and consolidating this into a single terminal to accommodate the expected increase of passenger capacity from 57 to 75 million and cargo capacity from 2.4 to 3.5 million tons at Narita International Airport.Separately, Vietnam’s aviation sector is experiencing rapid growth, with domestic travel projected to increase by over 20% from 2023 to 2027. To meet this soaring demand, Nguyen Dang Minh, Director of Airport Operations Department, Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), shared ACV’s master plan to develop a robust and resilient airport network by 2050. By 2030, ACV will equip 30 airports across the country with a combined capacity to handle 275.9 million passengers and 4.1 million tons of cargo annually. By 2050, the network will expand to 33 airports (14 international and 19 domestic), ensuring that 97% of the population has access to an airport within 100 kilometres.

NTT, DOCOMO and NEC Demonstrate World’s Fastest 140 Gbps Bidirectional Wireless Transmission in 80 GHz Band JCN Newswire

NTT, DOCOMO and NEC Demonstrate World’s Fastest 140 Gbps Bidirectional Wireless Transmission in 80 GHz Band

03/26/2025
Highlights:Achieved the world's fastest real-time bidirectional wireless transmission at a total rate of 140 Gbps --- more than twice the speed of conventional technology --- using the millimeter-wave band between 71 GHz and 86 GHz, a frequency range already in practical use for wireless systems.Demonstrated that OAM (Orbital Angular Momentum) mode multiplexing technology increases wireless transmission capacity, while OAM-mode control technology extends transmission distances and enables the use of reflected paths.Enabled the construction of flexible backhaul networks using both optical fiber and wireless connections, contributing to the realization of future 6G and beyond services such as high-definition video transmission and temporary lines during disasters.TOKYO, Mar 25, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT Corporation, NTT DOCOMO, INC. and NEC Corporation announced today that they demonstrated a real-time bidirectional wireless transmission in the millimeter wave band between 71 GHz and 86 GHz that achieved a bit rate of 140 Gbps --- unprecedented for sub-100 GHz frequencies. The test demonstrated that OAM (Orbital Angular Momentum) mode multiplexing transmission technology can increase the capacity of wireless transmission, and that OAM-mode control technology can increase wireless transmission distances by using reflected paths (Figure 1). The achievement is expected to help realize high-capacity wireless transmissions to meet future demand anticipated in the 2030s.OAM-mode multiplexing technology increases the capacity of wireless transmissions between fixed stations by transmitting multiple radio waves, each carrying signals multiplexed with different OAM modes, at the same frequency and time. Transmissions exceeding 100 Gbps enable both optical-fiber and wireless connections for communication lines between fixed stations, facilitating the construction of flexible backhaul networks,*1 wireless connections with mobile base stations during events, and temporary lines during disasters. The research results are expected to contribute to the development of high-capacity wireless backhaul for future services such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and high-definition video transmission in 6G and beyond.The results will be presented at the Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)*2 starting March 24.Research BackgroundIn the 6G era, the demand for wireless communications will accelerate with the emergence of high-definition video transmission, autonomous driving, remote medical surgery, and advanced applications such as VR and AR, increasing the need for high-capacity wireless communication. NTT, DOCOMO and NEC are working to increase capacity using a novel spatial multiplexing method that uses OAM, a property of electromagnetic waves (Figure 2).OAM, a physical quantity that describes certain properties of electromagnetic waves, is generated by adjusting the phase difference of signals from the transmitting antenna so that the same-phase trajectory spirals in the direction of propagation. On the receiving side, the phase of the received signal can be synthesized at the antenna by rotating in the opposite direction of transmission, so that radio signals corresponding to multiple OAM modes with different helix structures can be superimposed and separated without interfering with each other. Using this feature, OAM-mode multiplexing technology can transmit different data that has been spatially multiplexed, enabling large amounts of data to be sent over limited bandwidths. High-capacity wireless transmission is possible even in frequency bands below 100 GHz, where wide bandwidth is not readily available. While there is a report*3 of a successful real-time transmission test that achieved 14.7 Gbps over 40 meters in a single direction using OAM-mode multiplexing technology with digital signal processing circuits in the 71 GHz to 86 GHz band (E-band), which is used in existing wireless systems, real-time transmission capacity needs to be further increased for 6G and beyond wireless systems.Real-time wireless transmission using OAM-mode multiplexing technology in high-frequency bands has now been demonstrated by NTT, DOCOMO and NEC, supported by research on the practical application of OAM-mode multiplexing transmission (Figure 3).NEC has developed an OAM-mode multiplexing transmission system capable of real-time transmission at a maximum rate of 70 Gbps per direction, using a 1 GHz bandwidth signal in the E-band. This was achieved by extending conventional digital signal processing circuits*3 to increase the modulation rate by about 2.6 times to 300 Mbaud*4 while also enabling bidirectional communication in the E-band.DOCOMO explored expanding the application scenarios of OAM-mode multiplexing transmission and conducted demonstration experiments on reflection-based transmissions, using OAM-mode inverse-reception technology for transmissions via reflections off surfaces such as walls.NTT has devised a circuit that doubles the transmission bandwidth and an OAM-mode control technology to support long-distance transmission and reflection scenarios.Leveraging these developments, the three companies conducted demonstrations based on three scenarios:Bidirectional transmission over a distance of 22.5 metersBidirectional transmission over a distance of 45 metersBidirectional transmission over a distance of 22.5 meters using a reflectorThe result was successful transmission of 139.2 Gbps, 104.0 Gbps and 139.2 Gbps, respectively (Figure 4).Key Research Achievements- Broadband Real-Time OAM Mode Multiplexing Transmission Technology: Using eight orthogonal OAM-modes and high-order modulation up to 256QAM, the team achieved wireless transmissions with a bandwidth of 500 MHz in four frequencies—74.875 GHz and 75.375 GHz for the uplink and 84.875 GHz and 85.375 GHz for the downlink. The system achieved real-time bidirectional wireless transmission of 139.2 Gbps at a distance of 22.5 meters in a sub-100 GHz band.- OAM Mode Control Technology: In OAM-mode multiplexing transmissions, the antenna size was optimized to maximize transmission capacity according to the transmission distance. However, when operating beyond designed distances, transmission capacity typically decreased. In response, an OAM-mode control technology was developed to automatically adjust transmission parameters such as transmission power, OAM mode and modulation method. As a result, the system successfully maintained 104.0 Gbps of real-time wireless transmission over a distance of 45 meters, twice the initially designed range.- Expanded Application Scenarios: To date, OAM-mode multiplexed transmissions have focused on line-of-sight conditions that require precise alignment of transmitters and receivers. To support flexible backhaul solutions for 6G and beyond, non-line-of-sight communication using wall reflections was investigated. Using OAM-mode inverse-reception technology, the test demonstrated that wall reflections can achieve 139.2 Gbps transmissions at 22.5 meters.Future OutlookThe demonstration validated real-time bidirectional wireless transmission exceeding 100 Gbps using OAM-mode multiplexing technology. Such high-capacity wireless transmission technology can expand backhaul infrastructure beyond traditional fiber-optic connections, enabling more flexible backhaul configurations. This includes applications such as wireless connectivity to mobile base stations during events and temporary backhaul lines during disasters, ultimately supporting wireless communication demands expected in the 6G era and beyond.The three companies will explore applications such as relay transmission using real-time, high-capacity wireless communications and will apply OAM-mode multiplexing technology to wireless backhaul and fronthaul networks. They will also seek to increase wireless transmission capacity and extend transmission distances in millimeter-wave and higher frequency bands. Ultimately, they aim to establish flexible network infrastructure for future services such as VR, AR, ultra-high-definition video transmission, connected vehicles and remote medical applications in the 6G era and beyond (Figure 5).(l) Relay network that connects base stations to core communication network.
