HERISAU, Switzerland, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HUBER+SUHNER is proud to announce its UK arm has been awarded a multi-year sub-contract by antenna manufacturer, Sirio Antenne, to supply electronic components for the SKA Observatory’s low-frequency radio telescope, known as SKA-Low, in Western Australia. The SKA Observatory (SKAO) is an intergovernmental organisation bringing together nations from around the world. Its mission is to build and operate cutting-edge radio telescopes to transform our understanding of the universe and deliver benefits to society, through global collaboration and innovation. Headquartered in the UK, the observatory’s two telescopes, SKA-Mid and SKA-Low are located in South Africa and Australia, respectively.

As a part of this contract, HUBER+SUHNER UK will be supplying over 150,000 assemblies that include globally recognized and high-quality SPUMA 195 cables and XQMA connectors for each assembly alongside specially designed SMB connectors. These components will enable critical Radio Frequency (RF) links connecting the antennas installed on Wajarri Yamaji country in the Murchison region, a remote site in the Australian outback. Alongside playing a key part in creating RF signal links between the over 78,000 antennas (with two feeders per antenna) that will form a sub-set of the full SKA-low telescope, they will also enable links to server stations on-site and post-processing data stations at other locations.

A key goal of SKA-Low is to explore the first billion years, mapping the structure of the early universe for the first time, watching the births and deaths of the first stars, to understand how the earliest galaxies formed.

Formed of deep expertise in satellite and space component manufacturing and engineering, HUBER+SUHNER components are built for harsh environments, are ruggedized and are cost-effective solutions that will enable the objectives of SKAO to be fully realized. The components will deliver precise signal transmissions through a complex signal chain of processing, revealing the sky’s faintest details, further expanding and revolutionizing our understanding of the universe.

Speaking about the contract, Reto Bolt, Chief Operating Officer, Industry Segment at HUBER+SUHNER said, “HUBER+SUHNER has been designing and manufacturing microwave, photonic and antenna technologies, and enabling outstanding data transmission for the global space industry for decades. We recognize how this project has the potential of unlocking frontiers in science and deepening our understanding of the universe. We’re incredibly proud to be working with Sirio (and the SKAO) and contributing to collecting this body of knowledge.”

“We have chosen HUBER+SUHNER as a trusted partner for coaxial cable supply because they are a leading name in the RF connectors and cables industry,” said Antonio Sganzerla, Project Manager from Sirio Antenne. “We value their high-quality standards, which ensure we receive products crafted with precision and manufactured through tightly controlled processes. Their production capabilities also ensure on-time deliveries, helping us keep to our schedule with the SKAO project.”

LONDON, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As world leaders at COP29 in Baku grapple with the challenge of mobilizing USD 1 trillion annually in climate finance, investment migration has emerged as an innovative financing solution for climate-vulnerable nations. This will be a central focus at the upcoming 18th Global Citizenship Conference in Singapore next week, where government leaders and investment migration experts will explore how citizenship and residence by investment programs can provide immediate, debt-free climate funding for Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

The Pacific island nation of Nauru last week launched the groundbreaking Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program — the world’s first citizenship program specifically designed to address climate change challenges, reflecting a new financing model for integrating economic development and climate solutions. It represents an emerging trend, whereby countries access private sector funding for urgent climate adaptation projects by offering residence rights or citizenship in return.

Speaking after the program’s launch at COP29 in Baku, H.E. David Adeang, President of the Republic of Nauru, emphasized the transformative potential of investment migration. “It provides small and vulnerable nations like ours with a powerful mechanism to mitigate sustainability risks and enhance climate resilience. Our citizenship program sets a new standard in this regard, channelling investments directly into projects that safeguard our nation’s future and contribute towards safeguarding key global biodiversity hotspots.”

International investment migration advisory firm Henley & Partners was mandated by the Government of Nauru to design, implement, and promote the program. Speaking at COP29, Dr. Christian H. Kaelin, Chairman of Henley & Partners, highlighted investment migration’s unique advantage. “The programs offer more than economic benefits. They attract global citizens who are committed to environmental sustainability, thereby fostering a network of advocates invested in the future of vulnerable regions.”

More than 400 delegates from over 50 countries are expected to attend the 18th annual Global Citizenship Conference, which takes place 27–29 November in Singapore. The Hon. Mohamed Nasheed, Secretary-General of the Climate Vulnerable Forum, representing 70 climate-vulnerable nations, will address the conference and underscored the ethical obligation at hand: “Those with wealth and global mobility are uniquely positioned to act, carrying a duty to future generations to protect the planet. The concept of ‘climate justice’ emphasizes this responsibility, as developing nations — many of which contribute the least to emissions — are often the hardest hit by the impacts of climate change.”

To strengthen its advisory capabilities in this rapidly evolving space, Henley & Partners has  appointed Jean Paul Fabri as its Chief Economist. Fabri brings extensive experience in advising governments on economic development and climate resilience. “For wealthy individuals, investing in climate finance is not just an ethical duty; it’s also a significant economic opportunity. The green economy offers promising avenues for impactful investment, from renewable energy and sustainable agriculture to cutting-edge green technologies.”
