China Mobile International Launches SJC2 to Enable Seamless Connectivity Across Asia-Pacific
SJC2's main trunk links Singapore, Hong Kong China, and Japan, with additional branches covering other key Asia-Pacific countries and regions. Employing the latest optical wavelength division multiplexing technology, the cable is capable of transmitting more than 126 terabits per second (Tbps) [i]. SJC2 enhances submarine cable infrastructure in the region with additional capacity, route diversity, and resilience by strengthening the redundancy of the network to meet the increasing demand for connectivity within Southeast Asia and East Asia. This will contribute to a more stable communications environment to power AI and other bandwidth-intensive applications.
Together with the existing submarine cables, CMI has now established eight routes within the Asia-Pacific region, significantly enhancing network availability and meeting growing bandwidth requirements. Additionally, by utilizing its self-developed Local Ring Systems in Hong Kong China, Japan and Singapore, which are connected to data centers across the region, CMI can customize PoP-to-PoP (Points of Presence) solutions with highly scalable and flexible bandwidth.
Southeast Asia has become one of the world's most exciting digital markets. According to Market Research Southeast Asia, the Southeast Asia digital transformation market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2% from 2024 to 2032. Much of this change is being powered by rising internet access. More broadly, the Asia-Pacific region submarine cable system market is expected to reach US$18.36 billion by 2034, according to Precedence Research. Consequently, the need for expanded connectivity infrastructure has become increasingly apparent.
SJC2 is a core pillar of CMI's efforts to enhance global connectivity, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, by supporting the explosive growth of 5G, cloud computing, AI, and e-commerce. SJC2 can help to meet this surging demand by providing enterprises, cloud providers and digital platforms with low-latency, high-capacity data transfer that is essential for AI workloads and data-intensive applications, while also improving digital inclusion and bridging connectivity gaps in underserved regions.
The SJC2 cable, led by CMI and its partners, is the latest submarine cable project completed in the Asia-Pacific region. Through its planned connection with the PEACE cable, which became operational in September 2024, SJC2 can extend its network coverage to Europe. In recent years, CMI has invested in several other cable systems around the world, including 2Africa, a transcontinental system linking South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe; IAX and IEX, a submarine link connecting Singapore, India, Italy and France; and SEA-H2X, a Southeast Asia network connecting mainland China, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. With a network spanning 78 countries, over 100 cable systems, 168+ Tbps bandwidth, 330+ global PoPs, and self-owned data centers in major cities such as Hong Kong, Singapore, London, and Frankfurt, as well as 1,278 partner data centers, CMI supports partners worldwide.

New AI Automation Platform Learns Like a Human--Infofla's Selto V2 Now Available
SEOUL, South Korea, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Infofla, a fast-growing AI startup specializing in workflow automation, has launched Version 2 of its flagship product 'Selto', delivering major upgrades that dramatically improve precision, flexibility, and user control. Powered by Infofla's proprietary 'VLAgent' engine—an AI system that combines large language models with advanced image recognition—Selto V2 enables businesses to automate complex digital tasks with human-like adaptability. Unlike traditional RPA (robotic process automation) tools, which often break down when unexpected screen changes occur, Selto can visually recognize and respond to real-time UI changes like pop-ups or layout modifications. "This update focuses on making automation more intuitive and flexible," said In-mook Choi, CEO of Infofla. "With Selto V2, anyone can easily design and manage automated workflows—even across unpredictable digital environments." Selto V2 introduces a new level of intelligence and flexibility for business automation. The upgraded version can now visually confirm what it has learned from screen, making it easier for users to identify and resolve issues quickly. This improvement helps boost reliability and transparency, especially in fast-changing digital environments. The platform also adapts dynamically to conditional scenarios. For instance, Selto can now tailor workflows based on different user types or interface conditions—an essential feature for customer-facing services where one-size-fits-all automation often fails. Infofla has also enhanced Selto's ability to process and reuse external data, enabling seamless input of variable information like customer names or addresses. This makes automations more scalable and personalized without increasing human workload. To support growing enterprise demand, Infofla now provides a robust administrator dashboard and has upgraded Selto's testing environment with enterprise-grade GPUs. This ensures reliable performance during large-scale Proof of Concept trials—especially in industries with high automation complexity, such as finance and insurance. Selto has already been deployed by Korea's Ministry of the Interior and Safety and top-tier e-commerce platforms. Building on that success, Infofla is currently running PoCs with major players in the financial and insurance sectors. With Selto V2, Infofla is moving beyond the limitations of existing RPA, paving the way for broader adoption of practical, accessible AI agents and positioning itself as a next-generation leader in intelligent automation. About Infofla Infofla is a Seoul-based AI software company revolutionizing workflow automation with its Vision Language Model (VLM) technology. Its proprietary solutions—including ITOMS, VLAgent, and RPACA—combine visual recognition with natural language understanding to deliver human-like adaptability in dynamic digital environments.

Plasmatreat Introduces HydroPlasma®: A Sustainable Breakthrough in High-Performance Surface Cleaning
STEINHAGEN, Germany, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Plasmatreat GmbH, the global leader in atmospheric plasma technology, has unveiled HydroPlasma ®, an innovative, eco-friendly solution for ultra-precise cleaning of glass and metal surfaces. Combining the proven effectiveness of Openair-Plasma ® with the reactive power of ionized water, HydroPlasma ® sets a new benchmark for removing stubborn organic and inorganic contaminants, including fingerprints, oils, salts, and grease, without chemicals. Revolutionizing Cleanliness in High-Tech Industries and Processes In sectors like automotive, electronics, aerospace, and medical manufacturing, even microscopic contaminants can compromise adhesion in critical processes such as bonding, coating, printing or sealing. Traditional cleaning methods often rely on solvents or wet-chemical treatments, but HydroPlasma ® delivers a chemical-free, sustainable alternative using only compressed air, electricity, and water. This advanced technology not only enhances cleaning efficiency but also supports environmentally responsible production. How HydroPlasma ® Works: Science Meets Sustainability HydroPlasma ® 's patented process injects water into a plasma jet, where it ionizes into a highly reactive cleaning stream. A precision nozzle directs this stream onto surfaces, dissolving residues with a detergent-like effect—no harsh chemicals required. Unlike conventional methods, HydroPlasma ®: Complementing Openair-Plasma ® for Unmatched Flexibility While Openair-Plasma ® remains ideal for light organic contaminants (dust, oils), HydroPlasma ® extends capabilities to challenging inorganic residues. Together, they offer a VOC-free, scalable cleaning suite for industries demanding zero-compromise cleanliness. Applications Across Industries HydroPlasma ® integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, including automotive manufacturing, electronics, and precision optics. Its gentle yet powerful cleaning is ideal for: Sustainability at the Core By eliminating solvents and reducing waste, HydroPlasma ® helps manufacturers cut carbon footprints while maintaining workplace safety and process reliability. What is Openair-Plasma ®? Plasma is also known as the fourth state of matter, alongside solid, liquid and gas. When additional energy is added to a gas, it becomes ionized and enters the energetic plasma state. Whether plastic, metal, glass or paper, plasma technology is used to change the properties of the surface according to the requirements of the process.
