Brookfield (Canada) Infrastructure Acquires Indian Telecom Towers
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., alongside its institutional partners, is
pleased to announce that it has entered into binding agreements to acquire a 100%
stake in a telecom tower company in India from Reliance Industrial Investments
and Holdings Limited (“RIIHL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance
Industries Limited (“RIL”). The total equity requirement is $3.7 billion, of which
Brookfield Infrastructure will invest approximately $375 million, with the
balance being funded by its institutional partners. Brookfield Infrastructure is
acquiring a portfolio of approximately 130,000 communication towers that forms
the infrastructure backbone of Reliance Jio’s (“Jio”) telecom business. These are
recently constructed assets that are strategically located for pan-India 4G
coverage. These towers are well-positioned from a competitive perspective as
they are largely connected by fiber backhaul, which provides a unique platform to
capitalize on the rollout of 5G and future technologies. Jio is an anchor tenant of
the tower portfolio under a 30-year Master Services Agreement, providing a
secure source of revenues for the tower company.
Executive Commentary
“This is a unique opportunity to invest in a large-scale, high-quality telecom
business and participate in India’s high-growth data industry,” said Chief
Executive Officer of Brookfield Infrastructure. “This is an attractive business
that offers downside protection with meaningful upside by co-locating
equipment from other Mobile Network Operators on the towers, which
to-date, have only carried Jio equipment. Further growth is anticipated
through a tower build-out program, which is expected to bring the portfolio to
approximately 175,000 towers.”

Canon (Japan) develops video-analysis technology that utilizes deep learning to
count crowds, with ability to count several thousand people in real-time
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com

Solution Description
Canon Inc. announced that the company has developed video-analysis technology that utilizes deep learning to determine in real-time the
number of people in video footage captured by network cameras.In recent years, there has been a trend towards increasing use of network
camera video for such applications as crime and disaster prevention, determining congestion levels and marketing. There is also a
growing need worldwide to monitor crowd levels at large-scale events in order to facilitate efficient security operations and smooth flow
of visitors.Until recently, it has been difficult to accurately count dense crowds of people using human body or face-detection technology
due to such cases as subjects' bodies overlapping or heads turned away from cameras. However, Canon has overcome such difficulties
with the development of video analysis technology that utilizes deep learning.Canon's people counter technology detects the heads of
people in video footage from network cameras or recorded video from video management software, making possible people counting
even in densely crowded spaces. The software can also count the number of people in user-specified areas and display graphs to illustrate
crowd movements, providing valuable data for determining congestion levels or analyses. In addition, compatible wide-angle cameras
offer greater freedom of installation. What's more, because this technology can be operated by a consumer-grade PC without a graphics
processing unit (GPU), the cost of installation and operation can be significantly reduced.

Solution Description
Johnson Controls introduces the latest generation of Tyco American Dynamics victor Workstations, now with a space-saving compact option.
Users will be able to choose the optimal platform for their environment from Compact, Standard, Performance, and High Performance servers.
These workstations provide scalability from small, single-site locations to enterprise-level deployments. Pre-bundled with the victor Video
Management System (VMS), the hardware features high-quality processors that ensure both speed and reliability as well as support for
memory-intensive applications, making them ideal for demanding deployments that thrive on install flexibility and next business day on-site
service. The High Performance workstation is custom-tailored to facilities with a large amount of event and alert activity while the Standard
and Performance models are better suited for video display. When paired with monitors, such as those available through Tyco American
Dynamics, the workstations can support single to quad displays with up to 4K resolution. This allows for individual agent or fully-functional
command centers to be implemented as needed. The victor Compact conserves space and maximizes uptime with the victor Client
pre-installed on a small, versatile hardware platform that can be deployed in constrained environments. The full-featured VMS can be utilized
for live viewing and playback without taking up the amount of space required by traditional PC workstations. It is a natural fit for smaller or
complex environments where an additional tower server is too bulky in both the physical and networked environment.

Epson (Japan) Develops Compact, Lightweight Spectroscopic Camera to
Automate Color Inspections
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com

Solution Description
Seiko Epson Corporation has developed a compact, lightweight spectroscopic camera that can be integrated in manufacturing lines. Epson will launch its first
spectroscopic camera, one that captures light across the visible spectrum, in the 2020 fiscal year ending March 2021. Differences in color can occur between
products in different production lots in ordinary manufacturing processes. A spectroscopic camera can be used by manufacturers to perform the following
inspections to control these differences to a certain extent and ensure product quality:
• Color variation inspections
• Surface coating inspections
The RGB cameras currently used in these inspections are unable to capture detailed color information and are not always able to distinguish between subtle
differences in color. Consequently, most visual inspections relied on human color perception. However, color perception varies among individuals, and human
error puts manufacturers at risk of shipping defective goods. Time and cost constraints make color management an issue in many industries. Spectroscopic cameras
have traditionally been large and expensive, and those equipped with line sensors may have to composite images after scanning, adding to the time and expense.
Epson has developed an optimal solution for color management processes with a compact, lightweight spectroscopic camera that can be integrated into
manufacturing lines, that can automate and quantify inspections, and output images without the time and trouble of compositing. This spectroscopic camera will
enable manufacturers to manage color in their manufacturing processes more easily than ever before.

monitor robots individually and separately enter program settings and so forth for each. Taking regular backups and performing maintenance in factories
with multiple robots could be complicated and time-consuming, and it took time and trouble to restore operations when issues occurred. The Epson
Robot Management System increases the efficiency of factory operations by solving these issues.Until now, Epson was largely focused on helping to
create an environment that enables customers to more easily realize complex applications, such as by helping to increase the efficiency of equipment
design using simulator functions and by reducing equipment setup times with Epson robot integrated force sensors and image processing sensors. Going
forward, Epson will develop and provide solutions that enable smarter manufacturing and support factory administration. In addition to the Epson Robot
Management System, these solutions will include systems that are compliant with the OPC-UA (an industry standard communication protocol for IoT)
and that leverage AI to increase the efficiency of robot operations and predict failures.

Canon Inc. announced that the company has commenced sales of the FPA-3030iWa i-line semiconductor lithography system, or stepper*. The
FPA-3030iWa supports small substrates under 200 mm in diameter that are commonly used for fabricating devices related to 5G communication and
the Internet-of-Things (IoT), such as MEMS and sensors. The growth of power electronics applications in electric vehicles is also increasing demand
for these wafers.Through the combination of an overhauled lens design and a handling system that is compatible with a variety of different wafers, the
FPA-3030iWa supports not only silicon wafer processing but also wafers used for the production of compound semiconductors. With increased
exposure precision and support for various wafer types, this equipment meets a wide range of needs for innovative device manufacturing processes.The
FPA-3030iWa features a 52 mm x 52 mm wide-field projection lens with a variable numerical aperture (NA) ranging from 0.16 to 0.24 to deliver a large
depth of focus (DOF) and make possible high-precision exposure and uniform line width resolution. Additionally, the FPA-3030iWa can be equipped
with a handling system that enables the selection of wafer diameters from two inches (50 mm) to eight inches (200 mm) to support a variety of different
compound semiconductor wafer sizes and materials.FPA-3030iWa steppers also employ an off-axis alignment scope that measures wafer alignment
marks through an optical path that does not pass through the projection lens. This allows the off-axis alignment system to use a wide range of alignment
illumination wavelengths, providing robust alignment process optimization.

the IFR Awards 2019.The issue was the first major sign that the equity-linked market can play a role in the transition to a more sustainable
future and set a precedent for green financing in Asia’s equity-linked market, according to IFR.IFR’s award report also stated, “Link captured
an optimal market window, pricing the deal after its unit price had rallied 35% in the previous 12 months and amid a dearth of new issuance
in Asia’s equity-linked market,” adding, “The timing gave Link first-mover advantage in a busy year for REIT financings.”Link is the first
issuer in the real estate sector worldwide and in Hong Kong to have issued a green convertible bond. Due 2024, the Bond was issued in March
2019, raising $4 billion (US$500 million) at 1.6% per annum, the lowest coupon rate achieved by an Asian REIT over the past five years. The
Bond received an “A” rating from Standard & Poor’s. The Bond was allocated to a balanced mix of Asian and European investors at an initial
conversion price of $109.39 per unit, subject to adjustments.HSBC and JP Morgan led the deal, with HSBC advising on the green structure.
The proceeds are being used to refinance or fund Link’s existing and future eligible green projects under its Green Finance Framework, which

  • 9. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consec- tetuer Financial, M&A Updates IT Shades Engage & Enable Brookfield (Canada) Infrastructure Acquires Indian Telecom Towers Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., alongside its institutional partners, is pleased to announce that it has entered into binding agreements to acquire a 100% stake in a telecom tower company in India from Reliance Industrial Investments and Holdings Limited (“RIIHL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited (“RIL”). The total equity requirement is $3.7 billion, of which Brookfield Infrastructure will invest approximately $375 million, with the balance being funded by its institutional partners. Brookfield Infrastructure is acquiring a portfolio of approximately 130,000 communication towers that forms the infrastructure backbone of Reliance Jio’s (“Jio”) telecom business. These are recently constructed assets that are strategically located for pan-India 4G coverage. These towers are well-positioned from a competitive perspective as they are largely connected by fiber backhaul, which provides a unique platform to capitalize on the rollout of 5G and future technologies. Jio is an anchor tenant of the tower portfolio under a 30-year Master Services Agreement, providing a secure source of revenues for the tower company. Executive Commentary “This is a unique opportunity to invest in a large-scale, high-quality telecom business and participate in India’s high-growth data industry,” said Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Infrastructure. “This is an attractive business that offers downside protection with meaningful upside by co-locating equipment from other Mobile Network Operators on the towers, which to-date, have only carried Jio equipment.

There is also a growing need worldwide to monitor crowd levels at large-scale events in order to facilitate efficient security operations and smooth flow of visitors.Until recently, it has been difficult to accurately count dense crowds of people using human body or face-detection technology due to such cases as subjects' bodies overlapping or heads turned away from cameras. However, Canon has overcome such difficulties with the development of video analysis technology that utilizes deep learning.Canon's people counter technology detects the heads of people in video footage from network cameras or recorded video from video management software, making possible people counting even in densely crowded spaces. The software can also count the number of people in user-specified areas and display graphs to illustrate crowd movements, providing valuable data for determining congestion levels or analyses. In addition, compatible wide-angle cameras offer greater freedom of installation. What's more, because this technology can be operated by a consumer-grade PC without a graphics processing unit (GPU), the cost of installation and operation can be significantly reduced.

Epson will launch its first spectroscopic camera, one that captures light across the visible spectrum, in the 2020 fiscal year ending March 2021. Differences in color can occur between products in different production lots in ordinary manufacturing processes. A spectroscopic camera can be used by manufacturers to perform the following inspections to control these differences to a certain extent and ensure product quality: • Color variation inspections • Surface coating inspections The RGB cameras currently used in these inspections are unable to capture detailed color information and are not always able to distinguish between subtle differences in color. Consequently, most visual inspections relied on human color perception. However, color perception varies among individuals, and human error puts manufacturers at risk of shipping defective goods. Time and cost constraints make color management an issue in many industries. Spectroscopic cameras have traditionally been large and expensive, and those equipped with line sensors may have to composite images after scanning, adding to the time and expense. Epson has developed an optimal solution for color management processes with a compact, lightweight spectroscopic camera that can be integrated into manufacturing lines, that can automate and quantify inspections, and output images without the time and trouble of compositing. This spectroscopic camera will enable manufacturers to manage color in their manufacturing processes more easily than ever before.

This system enables manufacturers that use Epson robots to increase the efficiency of factory administration and robot maintenance. The Epson Robot Management System uses PCs and tablets connected to an intranet network to centrally monitor a factory's industrial robots, acquire robot status backups, update firmware, and simultaneously update operating programs. In the past, Epson industrial robot users had to monitor robots individually and separately enter program settings and so forth for each. Taking regular backups and performing maintenance in factories with multiple robots could be complicated and time-consuming, and it took time and trouble to restore operations when issues occurred. The Epson Robot Management System increases the efficiency of factory operations by solving these issues.Until now, Epson was largely focused on helping to create an environment that enables customers to more easily realize complex applications, such as by helping to increase the efficiency of equipment design using simulator functions and by reducing equipment setup times with Epson robot integrated force sensors and image processing sensors. Going forward, Epson will develop and provide solutions that enable smarter manufacturing and support factory administration. In addition to the Epson Robot Management System, these solutions will include systems that are compliant with the OPC-UA (an industry standard communication protocol for IoT) and that leverage AI to increase the efficiency of robot operations and predict failures.
