Published

on

HONG KONG, Aug. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Infinix, a trendy tech brand crafted for young consumers, has teamed up with global trend forecasting leader WGSN to launch the “2025 Smartphone Color Trend Report.” This report merges WGSN’s deep insights into global consumer behavior with Infinix’s expertise in technological innovation, highlighting key design trends and introducing three standout colors for 2025: Violet Garden, Misty Aqua, and Blossom Glow. Through this collaboration, Infinix aims to bring cutting-edge, trending design and personalization to its new ZERO 40 Series, offering a more artistic and tailored experience for young consumers.

6 Global Trends Driving Forces: STEPIC Drivers 2025

The Infinix x WGSN 2025 Trend Report features six key forces—”STEPIC Drivers”—that will shape global economic, technological, environmental, and cultural development. These macro forces are set to play a pivotal role in the global economy and business landscape by 2025 and beyond. The report identifies significant global trends, from political instability and economic uncertainty to the decentralization of digital culture, migration waves, the rise of the space economy, and the AI-driven “synthetic creativity” revolution, all of which will have profound impacts on the future.

These trends have sparked three core emotional needs among young consumers: Idleness (seeking personalization and self-expression in a complex environment), Radical Acceptance (pursuing balance and connection with nature under pressure), and Rational Optimism (finding a positive outlook through technological progress). According to WGSN’s forecasts, future designs will focus more on the use of natural materials and textures, such as stone surfaces rich in sensory experience and storytelling. Additionally, the mechanization of geometric patterns and the use of color variations will play a crucial role in design, meeting young consumers’ demand for personalization and quality.

Infinix ZERO: From Global Insights to Design Innovation

As consumer electronics and mobile devices increasingly double as fashion accessories, color has taken on a more crucial role in defining personal style. Vibrant and distinctive colors allow users to express their individuality, making them a key attraction for those who value self-expression. Recognizing this trend, WGSN developed the 2025 Smartphone Color Trend Report, which Infinix has applied to the ZERO 40 Series, resulting in a new lineup of colorful, trend-driven smartphones.

Yuan Zou, IMC Director at Infinix, shared his inspiration for the ZERO 40 Series: “Color is not just a designer’s individual creation; it comes from listening to the real world and the voices of our users. Understanding is what determines the depth and empathy in design expression. In this regard, the ZERO Series resonates strongly with WGSN. As the report highlights, today’s consumers favor minimalism and a high-quality lifestyle while seeking a natural and health-conscious way of living. This inspired us to incorporate natural textures and soft tones into our design. The creation of the leaf vein stone pattern on the ZERO 40 Series is rooted in our deep pursuit of tranquility.”

Weiqi Nie, Product Director at Infinix, added, “Rational Optimism drives our confidence in technology. In the ZERO 40 Series, we’ve captured this through innovative design. The use of velvet sand craftsmanship gives the phone a refined texture and premium feel. These elements, paired with thoughtful color and material choices, create a warm, comforting experience that reflects technological sophistication while conveying elegance and assurance.”

3 Color Trends: Let Colors Tell the Story

In collaboration with WGSN, Infinix introduces three trend-setting colors for 2025: Violet Garden, Misty Aqua, and Blossom Glow, each thoughtfully integrated into the design and features of the ZERO 40 Series.

Violet Garden: This captivating purple exudes mystery and inspiration, combining past memories, present beauty, and future hopes. The rich depth of this color complements the velvet metallic sand texture of the ZERO 40 5G, adding a ceremonial elegance that enhances its refined design, making it both fashionable and sophisticated.Blossom Glow: Soft and elegant, this pink symbolizes hope and renewal, like blooming flowers. Paired with the velvet sand finish, it brings a sense of warmth and positive energy to everyday use, perfect for those seeking self-expression and inner balance. The smooth surface not only feels luxurious but also reflects the light in a way that highlights its delicate hue.Misty Aqua: A refreshing light blue that echoes nature’s rhythm and energy, Misty Aqua is modern, vibrant, and versatile, transcending gender and seasonal boundaries. The aqua-inspired texture seamlessly integrates with the slim design of the ZERO 40, making it suitable for any occasion. Its dynamic sheen brings a lively yet calming effect, adding a touch of vitality and style to your day.

These colors are not just visually appealing but are intricately tied to the advanced design features of the ZERO 40 Series, creating a product that is as much a work of art as it is a piece of technology.

Reliable Link: Pioneering a New Era of Reliable Connectivity for Everything

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, Dec. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In this era where everything is connected, reliable communication networks have become more than just a service provided by operators; they are the key to linking the entire ecosystem of devices. Breaking down barriers between terminal equipments, allowing every corner and every device to be ‘reliably connected anytime, anywhere,’ is not only a technological breakthrough but also a beautiful vision for the future way of life. GrowthEase, in partnership with China Telecom, has brought together a top-tier team of communication technology experts to co-develop the “Reliable Link” project. Centered around the three core principles of “Reliability, Openness, and Ubiquity,” this project utilizes innovative communication technologies to integrate advanced cloud-network capabilities into various ubiquitous terminal devices such as drones, smart cameras, smart speakers, and smart locks. This aims to break the traditional constraints of terminal forms and capabilities, ushering in a new era of reliable communication connectivity. Leveraging the open capabilities provided by GSMA Open Gateway, and relying on the high-quality global network nodes deployed by NetEase Zhiqi and China Telecom, this project ensures end-to-end latency for audio and video calls remains within 200ms, guaranteeing 99.9% lag-free call experiences. Through highly reliable connectivity services, the project prioritizes the quality and security of connections and transmission in any environment, realizing “reliable connectivity anytime, anywhere” across all types of ubiquitous terminal devices.

Specifically, the Reliable Link project, through the Reliable-link AS platform and the Reliable-link applet, allows users to remotely control terminals like drones during a mobile voice call. For example, in the drone inspection scenario, Reliable Link can retrieve real-time flight routes, and with the Geofencing feature, set up electronic fences to ensure the drone stays within a safe area. When the drone detects a hazardous behavior, such as smoking, the system automatically triggers an alert and reports the location. Reliable Link combines VoLTE capabilities to initiate a video call to regional managers’ mobile phones, promptly pushing the alert information. Through Dev Loc verification and Location retrieval, the drone’s position is confirmed. Once the manager answers the video call, the QOD feature ensures high-quality video transmission, allowing the manager to issue control commands in real time through the call interface to control the drone’s flight. This not only ensures network reliability but also brings more efficient cross-terminal communication and smarter device management, making interactions between different devices smoother and more convenient, truly realizing “seamless connectivity” across ubiquitous terminal devices.

The Reliable Link Drone Communication Connectivity Project tightly integrates drones with the PaaS communication infrastructure, empowering drones with high-reliability, high-quality communication transmission capabilities. This drives upgrades and innovation in the drone industry, contributing to the prosperity of the low-altitude economy. Looking ahead, Reliable Link will continue to innovate and collaborate with ecosystem partners, establishing industry benchmarks. From connecting everything to empowering countless industries, the project aims to create a new landscape for reliable communication applications, enabling the thriving development of industries worldwide.

BeyondTrucks and Orderful solution brings EDI workflow into an updated, intuitive and timesaving format for trucking companies

SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BeyondTrucks, a transportation management system provider that delivers streamlined operations to private and specialty fleets through a connected and configurable platform, has announced a partnership with Orderful to embed their Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Platform in the company’s multi-tenant SaaS Transportation Management System (TMS).

BeyondTrucks’ commitment to simplifying fleet operations aligns perfectly with Orderful’s mission to modernize EDI.

“EDI of the past is opaque, time-consuming, expensive and just simply outdated,” said Hans Galland, chief executive officer at BeyondTrucks. “Now with Orderful as our partner, our customers can elect to use the Orderful portal to manage EDI transactions in a rapid intuitive manner for all transactions and all trading partners. We are eliminating the need for a custom integration into BeyondTrucks with each and every partner.”

Embedded in the BeyondTrucks TMS, the Orderful EDI Platform seamlessly builds EDI connections between shippers and carriers by converting EDI data via an API. The integration provides users with real-time data synchronization, instant visibility, automated compliance checks, and intuitive error handling.

BeyondTrucks is also offering their fleet customers access to the Orderful portal for visibility into EDI data from shippers. The optional capability provides an interface where fleets can see when shippers make changes to load information but don’t communicate them or they are not passed through to the TMS. The carrier can then respond manually to avoid loads being missed or the shipper being poorly serviced.

“BeyondTrucks’ commitment to simplifying fleet operations aligns perfectly with Orderful’s mission to modernize EDI,” said Jonathan Kish, chief revenue officer at Orderful. “By embedding our platform, BeyondTrucks customers gain real-time visibility and faster connections, eliminating the headaches of traditional EDI and enabling them to operate more efficiently.”

The BeyondTrucks flexible, multi-tenant SaaS solution combines system integrations, proprietary modules, and adaptable configurations in a seamless platform to unify data and workflows for automation and optimization of fleet operations. Advanced capabilities of the cloud-based platform include order intake automation, smart load planning, dispatch communication, configurable driver workflows, and flexible automation of invoicing and driver payroll.

About Orderful

Orderful is the modern EDI Platform revolutionizing how logistics providers, retailers, manufacturers, and technology companies manage their EDI trading partnerships and transactions in real-time. Its simplified integrations, pre-connected network, and user-friendly self-service approach minimize errors with customers onboarding new partners. Orderful has been recognized as a best-in-class EDI provider by industry leaders like G2 and SourceForge. To learn more, visit https://www.orderful.com/.

About BeyondTrucks

San Francisco, California-based BeyondTrucks is the provider of a configurable and connected multi-tenant SaaS Transportation Management System (TMS). The SOC2-compliant software allows specialty and private fleets to replace legacy TMS, add-on solutions, and fragmented manual processes with a modern platform that creates seamless workflows driven by unified data. Designed to handle the complexities of large specialty and private fleets, the highly configurable BeyondTrucks platform achieves deeper levels of adoption and intelligent automation fleets to make fleet operations smarter, simpler, and stronger. With the multi-tenant platform, fleets also benefit from more efficient integrations into other fleet technology providers so that all parts of a fleet are always in sync.

GDIN Successfully Supports Establishment of 10 New Joint Ventures in 2024 Alone

Published

By

GDIN CEO Jongkap Kim: “By matching technology needs with local markets, we create long-lasting joint ventures with multiple exit opportunities.”

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Global Digital Innovation Network (GDIN), led by CEO Jongkap Kim, proudly announced the major achievements of its 2024 Joint Venture Program. This program, which supports the establishment of joint ventures between South Korean companies and international partners, is designed to lower market entry barriers and create sustainable growth opportunities through local collaborations.

Since the launch of the program in 2021, GDIN has supported the establishment of 44 joint ventures across various regions. This year alone, 10 joint ventures were successfully launched in 8 countries including the United States, Canada, Japan, India, Singapore, Vietnam, UAE, and Uganda.

The Joint Venture Program was created to address a common challenge faced by early-stage tech companies: while they may have products and services that meet market demand, they often lack the resources and workforce to enter international markets. Through this program, GDIN helps companies increase their chances of success by facilitating strategic market entry via local partnerships.

In addition to the 44 joint ventures established so far, 47 partnership agreements are in the pipeline for future joint ventures. The program’s success is largely attributed to GDIN’s extensive global network of partners, which includes government organizations, multinational corporations, and international agencies such as the World Bank, Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Investment Turkey etc. GDIN has organized multiple technology matching and investor relations events to introduce Korean companies and their innovative technologies to potential international partners.

At the year-end performance report event, held on December 19, GDIN recognized companies that successfully established joint ventures. Changsoft I&I, a digital construction management system company, was highlighted for its success in establishing joint ventures in Japan and Vietnam. CFO Jongeun Park of Changsoft I&I shared, “We were facing stagnating revenue growth, and expanding into new markets was critical. With GDIN’s support, we were able to establish joint ventures in Japan and Vietnam, allowing us to tailor our products to local market needs.”

Other companies that successfully established joint ventures in 2024 include Medicos Biotech, Bloomsbury Lab, Arbaim, Eucast, Pixelro, Hansol root one, Eco-Peace, and IESG.

GDIN CEO Jongkap Kim commented, “Unlike simple joint investments or distribution networks, these technology-driven joint ventures are based on market demand, ensuring their long-term sustainability. If these joint ventures achieve success in the local markets and even go public, they could offer multiple exit opportunities, creating a strong growth model for all involved.”

About GDIN 

Global Digital Innovation Network (formerly known as Born2Global Centre), registered under the Ministry of Science & ICT, is an independent foundation that promotes and fosters collaboration between next-level innovative companies from South Korea and the world.
