KAWASAKI, Japan, Jan 28, 2026 – (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Fujitsu Limited and Tokai National Higher Education and Research System (THERS) today announced the successful development of a new technology to predict solar radiation events [1] and their potential impact. The new technology combines probability estimation and the identification of past similar events based on Fujitsu’s Wide Learning explainable AI technology which is part of the Fujitsu Kozuchi XAI service.Solar radiation events have been difficult to predict using simple empirical methods based solely on solar flare magnitude. By leveraging AI, this technology extracts complex causal relationships and presents them in an explainable manner. Furthermore, by presenting past solar radiation events similar to those predicted, based on the extracted conditions, it allows for a comprehensive understanding of the actual impact on daily life and corresponding countermeasures that were implemented during those previous events.With this new technol…

TOKYO, Jan 28, 2026 – (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced the development of a high-efficiency, compact Power Amplifier Module (PAM) for the sub-6GHz band, designed for integration into 5G base station Radio Units (RUs).PAMs are electronic components that amplify signals for long-distance radio transmission, and their power consumption accounts for approximately 75% of the total power consumed by an RU (*1). By integrating this high-efficiency PAM into RUs, NEC aims to reduce device power consumption and size, thereby contributing to overall power savings in 5G networks and reduced operational costs for telecommunication carriers.NEC plans to incorporate this PAM into new RUs scheduled for release in the first half of fiscal year 2026 (*2) and also envisions a global deployment of the PAM as a standalone product, including its application in base stations from other manufacturers.New Power Amplifier Module for 5G Base Station Radio Units (Front/Back)This PA…
