Strategically located in the Greater Seoul and Greater Busan areas, the initial seven assets, with a total Gross Floor Area (“GFA”) of 1 million sqm, have an average occupancy of over 99%. Built within the last three and a half years on average, these assets are state-of-the-art, Class A logistics warehouses that come with modern ESG features including rooftop solar power systems and EV charging stations for forklifts to enable tenants to enhance operational efficiency. The tenant base of the core fund portfolio primarily comprises major e-commerce and global third-party logistics (“3PL”) companies.

As an open-ended vehicle, the newly-formed core fund will have the opportunity to acquire high-quality income producing stabilised assets from not only third-party entities, but also the extensive pipeline of development assets managed by ESRKS. With its launch, ESR also now has fund structures in new development, core-plus acquisitions and two complementary perpetual core vehicles with the ESR Kendall Square REIT and the new core fund, both of which are first-of-its-kind in the market.

Jeffrey Shen and Stuart Gibson, ESR Group Co-founders and Co-CEOs, said: “ESR is delighted to lead the way with the debut of our flagship open-ended logistics core fund in Korea.  This further reinforces our strong commitment to capital recycling and the desire to retain and manage our best-in-class assets and strategic tenant relationships over the long term.  We thank our existing and new core fund investors, which include large global institutional investors, for their support. This achievement reinforces our excellent full cycle development track record in Korea, as well as the compelling long-term income potential of our market leading Korean logistics portfolio. We target to continue to bring in more high-quality institutional investors as we further scale this new vehicle.”

Josh Daitch, ESR Group CIO, commented: “The establishment of the Korea Core Fund now adds to ESR’s full range of investment products across the risk spectrum. This strategy matches product to investors’ risk tolerance and enables them to better access the compelling fundamentals of New Economy real estate in Asia. From a Group perspective, we now have dedicated and sizable core vehicles in Australia, China (both RMB and USD), Japan, Korea and Singapore with our inaugural ESR China REIT in process.”

CHENGDU, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. (SZSE: 300502), a leading innovator and provider of advanced optical transceiver solutions, announces the release of its OSFP 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2xFR4 transceivers enabling the next generation high bandwidth networks for AI/ML clusters and cloud datacenters.

Eoptolink 1.6T OSFP transceivers have 8 electrical host interfacing lanes and 8 optical lanes operating at 212.5Gb/s (106GB with PAM4). Equipped with the industry’s latest DSP, these modules support transmission distances of up to 2km without the need to regenerate the FEC. The 1.6T DR8 and DR8-2 modules comes with either one MPO-16 adapter for point-to-point (P2P) connections or two MPO-12 adapters for 2x800G breakout applications. The 1.6T 2xFR4 modules are designed with a dual duplex LC connector running with 2 pairs of fibers only, which could help users to save fiber resources compared to DR8 and DR8-2 versions.

The 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2FR4 Portfolio consists of: – 

EOLO-13T-5H-XMX    OSFP 1.6T DR8, 1×1.6TbE, 500m, MPO-16
EOLO-13T-5H-XDX    OSFP 1.6T DR8, 2x800GbE, 500m, Dual MPO-12
EOLO-13T-02-XMX    OSFP 1.6T DR8-2, 1×1.6TbE, 2km, MPO-16
EOLO-13T-02-XDX     OSFP 1.6T DR8-2, 2x800GbE, 2km, Dual MPO-12
EOLO-16T-02-XXX     OSFP 1.6T 2FR4, 2x800GbE, 2km, Dual Duplex LC

Eoptolink OSFP 1.6T transceivers feature both EML and SiPh-based solutions, and testing has demonstrated excellent performance. “We are very proud of our optical and RF design teams, says Sean Davies, VP Sales, Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. “Our 1.6T OSFP modules do not need an additional FEC on the optical side and this results in lower latency and power consumption of the modules simplifying the complete system and helping our AI and cloud customers in their work.”

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.
