[Online Seminar on October 10] Visible Fire Risk: A Grand Reveal of the Collaboration Between Thermal Cameras and Long-Distance Wireless Communication!

Temperature-extended version BR-100AH wireless LAN bridge with enhanced heat and cold resistance, supporting long-distance wireless communication IEEE 802.11ah.

The temperature-expanded version BR-100AH(JP) is a wired LAN - wireless LAN bridge compatible with IEEE 802.11ah, designed to adapt to temperature ranges suitable for harsher environments such as outdoor and industrial applications. IEEE 802.11ah uses radio waves in the 920MHz band, enabling long-distance wireless communication up to 1km. By simply connecting the BR-100AH(JP) to wired LAN devices, it easily supports IEEE 802.11ah, facilitating the establishment of a more flexible wireless LAN environment over vast areas such as large factories and outdoor spaces where traditional wireless LAN communication has been difficult.

• Wireless LAN

Temperature-extended AP-100AH access point with enhanced heat and cold resistance for long-distance wireless communication supporting IEEE 802.11ah.

The temperature-expanded AP-100AH(JP) is an access point that supports a temperature range of -20 to 60°C, making it suitable for harsher environments such as outdoor and industrial applications. One AP-100AH(JP) can cover a radius of 1 km and connect to a maximum of 647 clients.

• Wireless LAN

The first domestically produced 11ah compatible wireless bridge "EX-150AH" can extend the communication range of Wi-Fi devices up to 1 km.

The EX-150AH(JP) is a wireless bridge that utilizes the long-range communication standard IEEE 802.11ah (Wi-Fi HaLow) to extend the communication distance of existing Wi-Fi devices operating on the 2.4GHz/5GHz bands up to 1km. By supporting Wi-Fi 6, it allows easy connection of Wi-Fi devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops to the EX-150AH(JP) without the need for a separate relay device, enabling straightforward access to a long-range communication network using the 802.11ah access point. Additionally, the EX-150AH(JP) features a USB Type-C port for power input, allowing it to be powered by USB Type-C compatible mobile devices or portable batteries.

[Lecturers] Daisuke Tateno, Partner, Arthur D. Little Japan K.K. Akihiro Nagayama, Principal [Key Lecture Content] Drones, AI, software, satellites, and electronic warfare are fundamentally changing the way wars are fought, and the defense industry is currently transitioning from a heavy and traditional model to one centered around AI, software, data, and unmanned systems. In the United States, emerging companies like Palantir and Anduril, which are software-driven, are challenging existing defense firms. In Japan, structural changes are beginning with the Defense Capability Development Plan, the Defense Industry Base Strengthening Act, and the entry of startups. This seminar will discuss the changes in the global security environment and industrial structure, the strategies of advanced players both domestically and internationally, and the areas where Japanese companies can succeed, including dual-use, collaboration with software companies, M&A and alliances, and talent strategies. We will consider how to view change not as a threat but as a growth opportunity, and how to construct a new Japanese defense industry from a management perspective.

[Speaker] Kazuki Miyamoto, Representative/Analyst, VentureClef, USA [Key Lecture Content] The frontier model in the United States is evolving at an unexpected speed. AI agents based on the frontier model have completely transformed business forms in companies. Chinese companies are developing large-scale open source projects, and their performance is approaching that of the U.S. model. Meanwhile, U.S. companies have begun developing open source, leading to a direct confrontation between the U.S. and China. The seminar will examine the frontier models of both countries and explain the latest technologies and important trends. It will organize points on how Japanese companies should perceive the U.S.-China AI development competition from technological and business perspectives. It will also consider strategies for companies to succeed in the AI era, including the differentiation between the U.S. and Chinese models, as well as the advantages and challenges of open source versus closed source. [Lecture Items] <1> Frontier Model (USA) <2> Frontier Model (China) <3> Technology Trends and AI Strategies for Japanese Companies <4> Q&A

[Speaker] Chief Expert Ji Hui, Future Creation Center, Nomura Research Institute, Inc. [Key Lecture Content] *We plan to update with the latest information based on field research as necessary.* At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai in July 2026, Huawei unveiled its next-generation computing infrastructure products based on its proprietary AI chips, attracting significant attention. Amid ongoing U.S. export restrictions on advanced semiconductors, Huawei demonstrated its approach to overcoming the performance limits of standalone chips through "systems engineering," showcasing its commitment to leading the development of an autonomous AI ecosystem in China, encompassing computing infrastructure, cloud, OS, and AI models. Based on the latest field research results, this lecture will explain the latest trends in Huawei's AI strategy (computing infrastructure, AI models: AI social implementation, AI ecosystem, etc.) in the context of the overall landscape of China's AI industry. [Lecture Topics] 1. Current State of China's AI Industry 2. Progress in Domestic Production of Infrastructure 3. Huawei's Full-Stack AI Ecosystem 4. Future Prospects 5. Q&A
