RIR Power Electronics expands SiC diode production
New Delhi, June 5 (UNI) In a significant step towards bolstering India's indigenous semiconductor capabilities, RIR Power Electronics Ltd. on Thursday announced the successful expansion of its 1200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) diode production through a strategic collaboration with Taiwan-based Pro Asia Semiconductor Corporation (PASC). The partnership is expected to fast-track RIR's go-to-market strategy by enabling the rollout of SiC devices in various voltage and current ratings, thereby de-risking operations and accelerating the ramp-up of high-efficiency power solutions from RIR's upcoming fabrication facility in Odisha. As part of the initiative, 1200V Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) ranging from 2A to 60A—covering the most widely used configurations across multiple applications—have already been manufactured at PASC's state-of-the-art fab in Taiwan and shipped to India. The company has secured purchase orders from Richardson Electronics (USA) and Ankit Plastics (India), both major players in the commercial, industrial, and defence supply chains. "This milestone strengthens RIR's position as a serious player in the global power semiconductor space," said Dr. Harshad Mehta, Chairman and Director of RIR Power Electronics Ltd. "It also lays the foundation for full-fledged production from our planned Odisha SiC fab, which will serve high-growth markets such as automotive, renewable energy, industrial, and defence." The production expansion is backed by a comprehensive technology transfer agreement signed on October 17, 2024, with Sicamore Semi, USA. Under the agreement, RIR holds exclusive manufacturing and commercialisation rights for SiC diodes, MOSFETs, and IGBTs based on Sicamore's proven IP. The technology, originally developed for 4-inch wafers, has been successfully scaled up to 6-inch production with support from Vortex Semi (USA) and PASC. RIR's Odisha facility, with a proposed investment of Rs 618 crore, forms a crucial part of India's 'Make in India' semiconductor drive. It is expected to reduce the country's import dependency in strategic sectors, create employment, and position India as a competitive player in global advanced electronics manufacturing. UNI BDN RN

LARUS Helps Companies Navigate IPv4 Shortages with Flexible Leasing Options
HONG KONG, HONG KONG, March 14, 2025 / / -- In the face of the growing global shortage of IPv4 addresses, LARUS is stepping forward with innovative solutions designed to help businesses meet their IP address needs. The company's new flexible leasing options provide an affordable, scalable alternative to the costly purchase of permanent IPv4 address blocks, enabling businesses to efficiently manage their IP resources while they await the broader adoption of IPv6. As the availability of IPv4 addresses continues to dwindle, companies are increasingly finding themselves unable to secure enough IP addresses to support their expanding operations. This issue is particularly problematic for organizations that rely on IPv4 for their networks but are unable to make the jump to IPv6 due to technical, financial, or logistical challenges. In response to these growing concerns, LARUS is offering flexible leasing terms that provide businesses with the necessary IP addresses for both short-term and long-term projects, without the high costs associated with purchasing IPv4 addresses outright. IPv4 addresses remain essential for a majority of internet traffic, and the shortage of available addresses is increasingly becoming a barrier to businesses looking to expand their online presence or improve their network infrastructure. The slow adoption of IPv6 – which has been hindered by various technical and industry challenges – has further compounded the problem. LARUS' leasing model addresses this gap by offering businesses a means to temporarily lease IPv4 addresses until the transition to IPv6 is fully realized. LARUS' flexible leasing options are designed to meet these needs, offering companies the flexibility to scale their networks as required while staying within their budgets. These leasing solutions provide an efficient way to navigate the IPv4 shortage.' The leasing model offered by LARUS is simple and transparent. Businesses can lease IPv4 addresses for periods ranging from a few months to several years, depending on their specific needs. This flexibility allows organizations to align their IP resources with their growth strategies, ensuring that they can maintain a steady flow of operations as they expand. Moreover, LARUS ensures that all transactions comply with the relevant Regional Internet Registry (RIR) policies, guaranteeing secure and legitimate leasing agreements. In addition to its leasing services, LARUS also provides expert consulting and support to help businesses navigate the complexities of IP address management. The company's team of specialists offers assistance with address allocation, compliance, and network management, ensuring that companies can make informed decisions when acquiring or leasing IP addresses. For businesses that are unsure of their IPv4 needs or those that require additional IP addresses to manage increased demand, LARUS provides a reliable solution to ensure continued growth and network stability. By offering flexible leasing options, LARUS is not only addressing the immediate needs of businesses but also helping them prepare for the eventual transition to IPv6. About Larus LARUS is a leading provider of IP address brokerage services, specializing in flexible leasing and purchasing solutions for IPv4 and IPv6 resources.

Renaissance Interschool Regatta showcases Oman's talent
MUSCAT: The Renaissance Interschool Regatta (RIR) 2025 produced excellent sailing, tense racing and offered a glimpse at Oman's future sailing stars as 45 schoolchildren took to the waters of Al Mouj Muscat in their Optimist dinghies. Brought together from 15 government schools in Muscat, Sur and Al Mussanah, and part of the Oman Sail Community Sailing Program, sponsored by Renaissance Services, the sailors all showed how impressive their progress has and how bright their futures could be. Mohammed al Balushi (Musab bin Al-Zubair Basic Education School, Al Mussanah) won the boy's event after a close battle with Ibrahim al Maskari (Durat Al-Ajyal Basic Education School, Muscat) who had to settle for second place. Timur al Amri (Durat Al-Ajyal Basic Education School, Muscat) finished third. In the girl's competition, Mariam al Hadhrami (Al-Safa Basic Education School, Mussanah) won the gold medal ahead of Mariam al Hashar (Sur Basic Education School, Sur) who finished second, with Jameela al Jalboobi (Sur Basic Education School, Sur) finishing third. Top three winners of School Category Sur Basic Education School ended the regatta as the best performing school. Sailors from the school edged Durat Al-Ajyal Basic Education School, Muscat, into second and the Al-Rawae Basic Education School, Muscat, took the bronze. Stephen R Thomas, CEO, Renaissance Services, said, 'The Renaissance Interschool Regatta is a great opportunity to showcase the benefits of the Community Sailing Program. We are pleased to support these young sailors through this programme, which not only teaches them how to sail but also imparts valuable lessons that go beyond the sport. It is encouraging to see so many young people taking an interest in sailing and contributing to Oman's rich maritime traditions.' The Renaissance Interschool Regatta Abdulaziz al Shidi, Oman Sail's Acting Director Sailing, added, 'The Interschool Regatta, sponsored by Renaissance Services, is one of the leading youth sports events in Oman, combining competition with a focus on enriching the community. Through sport, the sailors learn valuable lessons to take with them on and off the water, and starting with the Community Sailing Program, Oman Sail and Renaissance Services are delighted to create a platform to develop the abilities of young Omanis.' The Oman Sail Community Sailing Program, sponsored by Renaissance Services, has already introduced 301 boys and girls to the sport this year as part of an annual commitment to teach a total of 900 students aged 8-10 from government schools in Al Batinah South, Al Sharqiyah South and Muscat governorates each year. Each student takes part in a five-week sailing course with one weekly session on the water using the Optimist boat and participates in a beach clean-up to help keep the environment clean for Oman's native wildlife and marine species – as well as ensuring sailors of all ages and levels can enjoy clean seas.
