Italy and Israel's high-speed link - February 2012
Bezeq International and Alcatel-Lucent have launched a new high-speed subsea cable link between Israel and Italy. Spanning 2,300km across the Mediterranean, the cable system (named Jonah) is believed to be the first high-speed submarine cable network fully owned by an Israeli operator.
The submarine link is intended to address the growing demands of the Israeli telecom market, which shows one of the highest household broadband and mobile penetration rates in the world. Based on Alcatel-Lucent's submarine communications networking technology, the cable system can operate at 100Gbps transmission rates to enable total data capacity of 7.6Tbps between Tel Aviv, Israel, and Bari in Italy.
The system integrates Alcatel-Lucent OALC-5 cable, optimized with coherent submarine fibre, repeaters, and the 1620 Light Manager submarine line terminal, which is designed to accommodate 10G/40G/100G wavelengths in the same platform.
Alcatel-Lucent says the new hardware, which features optical coherent technology, offers a guaranteed pathway to multi-terabit capacity using 100G channels. This protects investment in new wet plant from the risk of obsolescence or capacity limitations due to changes of transmission technology in the transition from 40G to 100G.

Fire halts copper production - February 2012
Pan Pacific Copper, Japan's biggest copper smelter, has suspended operations at its 200,000 tonnes per year Saganoseki smelter after a fire damaged an electric power substation on the site.
The company is checking when it can resume operations at the plant in Oita, southeast Japan, and whether its other smelter and refining plants in Japan can make up for lost production, a spokesman said.
The Saganoseki plant produces anode, an intermediate state of refined copper, for refining at its Hitachi plant.
"We can't say for now when we can start operations at the Saganoseki plant. It all depends on when we can secure parts for damaged electronics machines," said a company spokesman. "But we have ample inventories of anode for the time being," he added.
Asia's premiums for spot refined copper could rise if there is a prolonged suspension at Pan Pacific, an exporter to China, Taiwan and South Korea, prompting its term buyers to turn to the spot market.
An industry official said he did not expect a large impact on the domestic market from the shutdown, given the relatively high level of inventories
of refined copper. Sluggish demand for refined copper had helped push up domestic inventories from the 68,000 tonnes level in 2010.

Subsea cable in Iraq - February 2012
Gulf Bridge International (GBI), the Middle East's first privately owned submarine cable operator, has landed the first subsea cable in Iraq. With broadband penetration in Iraq currently less than 3 per cent, GBI expects the connection to mark a significant milestone for the nation's telecom sector.
GBI's high-capacity system, which lands with The Iraqi Telecommunications and Post Company (ITPC), has the potential to significantly increase
broadband penetration across Iraq while boosting speed and reliability.
"This is a historic milestone for GBI and the people of Iraq," remarked Rashid Al Noaimi, GBI chairman.
"GBI's vision is to facilitate social and economic growth across the region, and as a result of this new connectivity, Iraq will once more be on an even footing with their neighbors in the Gulf," he noted.
Amir Al Bayati, the deputy of ITPC, said: "The GBI cable is a crucial strategic initiative in the industry of subsea cables today using its impressive infrastructure to directly facilitate the development of all the countries connected to it."
Ahmed Mekky, board member and CEO said: "GBI is the first subsea cable company owned in the Gulf. We care about the region and are backed by investors who care about the region."
"From a business standpoint, we are excited to connect to a market with such tremendous potential for growth. But beyond this, we are truly pleased
to provide industry-leading infrastructure that can contribute to Iraq's recovery," he added.

Perth to Singapore link - February 2012
A 4,600km four-fibre pair optic fibre submarine cable system linking Perth with Singapore is expected to have a capacity of 6.4 terabits per second
when completed during 2013.
Capacity will be delivered through 40 gigabits per second technology, with the possibility of an upgrade to 100 gigabits per second in the future. Construction will begin during the first quarter of 2012.
Developed by ASSC-1 Communications Group, the submarine cable will comprise three express fibre pairs between Perth and Singapore, and one omnibus fibre pair between Perth, Jakarta and Singapore. Telstra, the first international carrier to commit to the new cable, has agreed to purchase one
of the four-fibre pairs and provide landing party services in Perth.
Huawei Marine Networks will supply and install the ASSC-1 system. Matrix Cable Systems plans to supply the Jakarta landing through its own cable landing station and will work with ASSC-1 to manage the Indonesian permit process.
ASSC-1 chief executive, James Chen, said in a statement that the cable is a low latency system which will provide the fastest transfer speeds between Australia, Asia and Europe. "We expect it to take up excess demand from the only existing cable on this route, which is the ageing SEAMEWE-3 system," he said. "In addition, we expect to provide increased diversity for traffic from Asia to the US via Australia," he said.

Taipei city-wide fibre optic network - February 2012
The Taipei City government has signed a 25-year contract with a consortium of 15 local and foreign companies led by Tai Tung Communication,
a Taiwan-based maker of fibre optic cable, for construction and operation of a city-wide fibre optic network to provide 100Mbps access
to the internet for 80 per cent of the city's households.
The city government requires that the fibre optic service be charged at a rate 10 per cent lower than services offered by other operators.
The project calls for an estimated investment of US$1.28 billion over the 25 year contract period. The network will consist of fibre optic cable systems, deployed mainly along sewage pipelines with a total length of about 3,000km; two master facilities; ten area facilities; and 50 access facilities.
The consortium will set up a company specifically for the project and apply for a license with the National Communications Commission in April 2012, Tai Tung indicated.

Differing fortunes of aluminum and copper - December 2011
Fund manager Perpetual has suggested that almost a third of the world's aluminum is being produced at a loss, as a result of metal prices depressed by high inventories and weak growth prospects. At the same time, the high cost of shutting down over-producing aluminum smelters keeps markets supplied with new production, claims Andrew Corbett, a metals analyst for the Australian fund.
Aluminum prices have fallen around 20 percent in recent months, to around $2,165 a tonne, while London Metal Exchange stocks stand at around 4.53 million tonnes, or a tenth of total projected global production this year. "Thirty percent of the world's aluminum industry is underwater at these current prices," Corbett told a media briefing.
Corbett went on to say that aluminum producers stand to gain over the longer term from a drive among consumers to use more of the light metal,
seen as more environmentally friendly than some other metals, and a lack of investment in new smelters while so many existing ones run at a loss.
In the meantime, weak fundamentals and stagnant consumption will weigh on the sector's prospects.
However, Corbett said the outlook for copper, the most actively traded contract at the LME, holds more promise because of the high demand from China and an inability among the world's producers to keep pace with consumption. Copper miners have struggled to produce 16 million tonnes of copper in
2011, against a global demand closer to 18 million tonnes.
In contrast to aluminum, according to Corbett, LME copper stocks of around 407,000 tonnes could meet world demand for fewer than 14 days.

Cheaper copper lifts Elsewedy's profitability - December 2011
The price of copper has fallen by 25 percent since its peak in February. With copper accounting for 80 to 85 percent of its copper cable production costs Elsewedy Electric, believed the Arab world's biggest cable maker, is boosting productivity.
"Working investment savings for the copper cable business could amount to as much as $33 per tonne, for every $100 fall in copper prices," said Ahmed Hafez, an analyst at AlembicHC in Dubai. "This should ease balance pressure, which has been a primary concern for the past year." Elsewedy has four main business segments: wires and cables, electrical products, turnkey projects and wind energy, with the low-margin wires and cables sector the primary revenue source (more than 75 percent of revenue and 60 percent of value of gross profit during 2010).
Elsewedy has also pursued a geographic expansion strategy, establishing cable plants across the Middle East in poor and underdeveloped infrastructure markets that could potentially serve as export hubs for neighboring markets, such as Sudan and Ethiopia to the rest of Africa, and Yemen and Syria
to Iraq.

Mongolia gets first wind turbines - December 2011
Mongolia has its first wind farm.
Mongolia's Salkhit wind project is located 78km south of the Mongolian capital, Ulaanbaatar. Funding for the scheme, which cost $80 million, was provided by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and Newcom Group, a Mongolian telecoms company.
Newcom has signed a power purchase agreement with the Mongolian government for the wind farm. The deal comes after September's announcement that GE had formed a joint venture with China's Harbin Electric Corporation, a state-owned company, to build and supply wind turbines for the Chinese market.
GE was unable to reveal the cost of the turbines. Speaking about the deal, GE vice chairman John Rice said: "This is a milestone in the development of GE's relationship with Mongolia and our teaming with Newcom."
Despite having coal resources, Mongolia's government has decreed that 20 percent of the country's electricity should come from renewable sources by 2020. It is possible that Mongolia could supply all of China's electricity through wind power.

Japan seeks floating turbines - September September 2011
Japan’s trade ministry has said that the country is planning a ¥10-20 billion ($130-260 million) project to develop floating turbines in the deep waters
off the northern coast, as part of a post-Fukushima shift to renewables.
Japan hopes to develop a 1GW floating offshore project off its northern coast by 2020. The announcement follows the passing of a renewable-energy
bill in the upper house of Japan's parliament.
Speaking about the move, a Trade Ministry official said: "In order to take [a] lead in offshore wind power, we want domestic studies and developments
to take place and manufacturers to boost capabilities.
"From the standpoint of supporting reconstruction and promoting wind power, we believe it is good to pursue research and development for offshore
wind farms."
When the tsunami struck, the Kamisu near-shore wind farm on Japan's east coast withstood the magnitude-nine earthquake and contributed vital
electricity in the aftermath of the disaster. Kamisu is located 40 meters off Ibaraki prefecture and is comprised of seven 2MW Fuji Heavy Industries
wind turbines.

Chinese support Maori aspirations - September 2011
Chinese cash will help finance an $8.5 million Maori-owned fibre optic network connecting Auckland and Whangarei. A backer of the project has suggested that the 165km Northern Network broadband link could be the first of many instances where Chinese finance and expertise is used to help develop fiber optic broadband in New Zealand.
The company behind the venture - Taitokerau Networks - is backed by three Northland tribes (known as iwi), Te Rarawa, Ngati Whatua and Whaingaroa. Wellington's Datalight has partnered with the iwi and will manage the network. Internet service providers will buy capacity on the link, which will compete with TelstraClear and Telecom's own cables connecting Auckland and Whangarei.
Datalight director Roger MacDonald said roughly half the funding for the network had come from China through Axin NZ, which had been contracted to oversee the network's construction. He said Maori were eager to invest in telecommunications infrastructure to "preserve the unique identity of Maori
as a people in New Zealand" and that their Chinese backers had strong empathy with their aims.
"[Maori] are not just investing for investing's sake but for a social outcome."

China Wire and Cable Industry Summit 2011 - August 2011
A number of customers have contacted us asking about the China Wire and Cable Industry Summit taking place in China, 25th-26th November at the Crowne Plaza Century Park Hotel, Shanghai.
We have been asked about the validity of the summit after a pdf brochure was circulated, clearly showing both EuroWire and Wire & Cable ASIA as
media partners.
We would like to make it clear that we do not endorse this event and are not media partners. We have demanded that our logos are removed from
literature surrounding it and have been told that the promotion has now been 'postponed for the moment'.
A number of speakers at the event, organised by Copex Global, are even unaware of its existence.
One customer, contacted by a Randal Chan from Copex Global, had even contacted the Crowne Plaza Century Park Hotel in Shanghai who knew
nothing of the event.
The pdf attachment clearly asks for credit card details and even passport numbers.
• The summit is not to be confused with the China International Wire and Cable Industry Exhibition, taking place between 26th-28th October at the
Shanghai Everbright Convention and Exhibition Centre, organised by the Shanghai Electric Cable Research Institute and the Electrical Cable and Wire branch of China Electrical Equipment Industry Association.

Chinese National Energy Bureau (NEB) is set to limit onshore wind farms - July 2011
The National Energy Bureau (NEB) said it is to remove the authority for approving wind farms smaller than 50MW from provincial governments.
So far, about 93% of wind farms in the country are approved by local governments.
This will markedly reduce the number of approved wind farms and slow down the approval rate in the country, reducing market demands for
wind turbines and components.
