Softbank’s stock price fell more than 10% on the first day of listing

Japan Telecom's mobile banking company's mobile communications banking company's stock market fell more than 10% on the first day of the day, mainly due to recent national service disruptions and the relationship with Huawei's technology.

Softbank's initial public offering (IPO) raised $23.5 billion, but on the first day of the Tokyo stock market trading, the stock price fell below the underwriting price of 1,500 yen in 5 minutes, falling to 1344 yen, a drop of more than 10%. The index of the Dongzheng Index fell by 1%.

Softbank's IPO scale is less than the $25 billion record created by China's e-commerce giant Alibaba in 2014. Alibaba is one of the companies invested by the Softbank Group.

In terms of the number of users, Softbank is the third largest mobile communication company in Japan, and recently there has been a rare national disconnection problem. Softbank said that the suspension will not impact the company's profits and dividends.

What worries market investors is the relationship between Softbank and China's Huawei Technologies. At present, many countries have blocked Huawei because of worry that Huawei's telecommunications equipment may become an accomplice to Chinese espionage activities.

According to sources, Softbank has decided to replace Huawei's 4G network equipment with hardware devices from other vendors. This process is likely to be time-consuming and costly. Among Japanese telecom companies, Softbank and Huawei are the most closely related.

Samsung builds 5G self-driving car

5G is getting closer and closer, various B2B and self-driving technologies are getting more and more blooming. Samsung announced that it has cooperated with the Korea Transportation Security Bureau to develop self-driving technology based on LTE and 5G, and in the United States with 5G data chip supplier Qualcomm, telecom operator Verizon , together to complete the Gigabit level of data transmission of 5G New Radio.

Samsung announced that it will sign a MOU with the Korea Transportation Safety Administration. The two companies will jointly develop a new generation of telecom technology, aiming at auto-driving technology that can cover all of Korea. The two sides will establish 4G LTE, 5G, Vehicle to K-City in Korea Autopilot Testing Field. Everything (V2X) telecommunications network and related IT infrastructure.

Samsung said that K-City includes five simulation scenarios, including urban and local townships, local communities, highways and parking lots, covering an area of 360,000 square meters, allowing self-driving cars and connected cars to experience real road conditions, intersections and tunnels, Samsung It will also build a critical IT infrastructure to ensure K-City's low latency and information security. The mobile edge computing capability near the base station can support instant messaging between fast-moving vehicles, allowing the car to react instantly to unexpected events. K-City will become the R&D center for Korean 5G, self-driving and connected cars.

5G era is coming to Nomura, optimistic about business opportunities

According to Chen Yuning, an analyst at the village securities technology industry, according to Qualcomm's new 5G economic research, when 5G business opportunities spread to various industries, by 2035, Taiwan's 5G value chain will create 134 billion yuan of output value and 510,000 jobs. The technology upgrades big business opportunities to let Taiwan face, Lizi all take, look at the world, Taiwan's remote transmission (4904), the United States Verizon, South Korea LG U Plus three telecommunications operators, operating the most optimistic.

Before the full-scale vacation of foreign-funded research institutions, many teams have actively issued a big report on the prospects of the long-term prospects, such as Morgan Stanley's recent semiconductor prospects, Greater China's raw materials industry investment guide for 2019, Nomura Securities named 5G The megatrends, and cut into the development of Asian markets such as Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, the mainland, Singapore, etc., also have the taste of leading the long-line layout of funds.

5G will provide faster information transmission services, and all countries in the world are ready to step into new trends. Nomura believes that in order to cross 5G, a lot of infrastructure costs must be invested, in the short term, unless telecom operators are under the pressure of traditional revenue sources. If there is a sudden increase, it is expected that telecom operators will pay for the future demand, and will invest in a gradual and gradual approach. It will not invest heavily. That is to say, the 5G investment tide is not a big blow in 2019, but will be a more average bet. It’s been 3 to 5 years.

After the 5G technology matures, it will improve the performance of services such as video streaming, and may open up new application opportunities throughout the industry value chain. Therefore, when 5G is officially transferred, the industries benefiting include media and connected equipment manufacturing. Business, network services and operators.

More importantly, in the field of telecommunications, telecom operators that focus on wireless services are more likely to benefit from the 5G business opportunity than the telecom operators that provide integrated services because they do not need to risk the existing fixed-line services. At the same time, relatively small-scale telecommunications companies are more flexible in their transformation and rapid adoption of new technologies.

While global telecom operators are about to meet 5G business opportunities, Nomura believes that the industry must have good execution, strong management capabilities and a stable balance sheet. These three conditions also mean that the telecom operators have the ability to adapt quickly to change. And optimistic about the remote transmission, the United States Verizon, South Korea LG U Plus, etc., long-term focus on Internet of Things and enterprise communication solutions, is the winner of 5G technology upgrade.

Why do some manufacturers of smartphone have a non-removable battery in their phones?

An integrated battery is more reliable. The biggest source of failures in removable battery phones was the contacts between the battery and the phone. Remove those, and while it now takes tools to remove the battery, they’re not going to fail. Less service calls.

A large source of service problems with removable batteries was damage to the battery while outside the phone. Not removable, less service calls.

A removable battery needs packaging so that it is safe to carry around outside the phone. But phones use LiPoly pouch cells, which are literally a plastic bag full of toxic corrosive chemicals that can easily catch fire or explode if you puncture the bag and contents the wrong way, so that packaging needs to be fairly tough. And that means it costs money and takes up space. So, if you remove the packaging, you can fit a lot more battery into the phone. Remember, there is a premium on battery life on smartphones, and most of them have only barely acceptable battery life anyway. Exploding batteries cause lawsuits, and they explode less inside phones (Samsung learned the hard way that they only explode less and they still have to be very careful).

There is a big, big premium on having a phone that fits in people’s hands. That means it can’t be too thick or too heavy, and the ‘phablet’ style are mostly used by people who tend to carry a handbag or shoulder bag to put them in. So, if you have to fit the extra connectors and three layers of extra packaging into a phone (one layer each side of the battery, and one to protect the works of the phone while the battery is removed), it gets too big and heavy to be a nice product that people will buy.

Integrating the battery makes it possible to build a waterproof phone. That’s actually a very cool feature, and means fewer service calls from water damage.

Tips and help with maximizing your laptop battery life

Full initial charge
After purchasing a new laptop computer or battery for your laptop, we recommend that the battery be charged for no less than 24-hours. A 24-hour charge makes sure the battery is fully charged and helps with the batteries life expectancy. Once it is fully charged, you should not discharge it fully, if possible.

Remove battery if not in use for a long period
If you are mostly using the laptop computer while it is plugged into a wall outlet keep the battery out of the computer.

If you do not plan on using your laptop for more than a month the battery should be removed from the computer, even if it is kept off.

After putting the battery back in after it has not been used we suggest fully charging it before letting it run off the battery again.

Fully discharge and recharge
If your battery is not a Li-ion battery it is always recommended to fully discharge and recharge your battery at least once every month.

Avoid extreme temperatures
Not only is it good for your battery but it is also for your laptop to keep it out of extreme hot or cold temperatures. For example, do not leave your laptop in your car during a hot summer day.

Clean the contacts
Clean your laptop battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol every few months.

How long should a laptop battery last?

Don't worry about overcharging the battery. Modern laptops will stop charging the battery when it is fully charged and switch over to AC power while the laptop is plugged into an outlet.

If you are excited to use your new laptop, it can still be used while it is plugged into an outlet. However, we suggest not unplugging it until it's been charged for that length of time.

How long should I charge my laptop battery at first time?

After purchasing a new laptop computer or battery for your laptop, we recommend that the battery be charged for no less than 24-hours. A 24-hour charge makes sure the battery is fully charged and helps with the battery's life expectancy. Once it is fully charged, you should not discharge it fully, if possible. Lithium-ion batteries (the type used in modern laptop computers) are strained, and may be weakened, when they are fully discharged. Doing so frequently can shorten the battery's lifespan.
