Zepp Health Corporation (Zepp, NYSE: ZEPP), a leading specialist in smart wearables and health technology, has launched the Amazfit Balance, created to help people achieve the ultimate balance of life, work, and wellness, it takes the baton from the brand’s Amazfit GTR and GTS family of smartwatches, building on the cutting-edge technology and features that made those models resonate so powerfully with a global community of users, and empowered by Zepp Health’s evolving AI ecosystem to become the new leader of Amazfit’s Lifestyle Series.
With its sleek look, the Amazfit Balance incorporates features that help wearers keep organised and on schedule across the 24-hour day, be it for work, leisure or workout.
Fitness trainer, professional runner and OCR (obstacle course racing) athlete, Captain (R) Raeiz Hamed RMAF, said, “This sleek and versatile smartwatch helps track my mental and physical data, allowing me to push harder or rest more. The Readiness score is accurate in my overall state; whether I trained hard and did not rest enough, it showed an appropriate score.”
“The Amazfit Balance is more than just a great looking watch. The Zepp OS 3.0 operating system enables wearers to achieve just the right balance across the day as the smartwatch harmonises its newest features with Android or iOS compatibility with notifications and reminders together with Amazfit’s signature health monitoring system.”
A new feature known as the “Readiness” score provides advice and guidance based on health indicators such as sleep, exercise, stress levels and 24-hour vital signs monitoring to measure physical and mental recovery from the previous day and indicates wearers’ potential for the upcoming day while helping them optimise work, life and rest.
Mark Ong, content creator and gym enthusiast said, “This fitness watch takes fitness tracking to a whole new level. It seamlessly connects with health apps like adidas Running and Strava.” Ong went on to say, “I really like the Body Composition app on the Balance, in ten seconds I was able to get my bone, muscle, fat and water percentages.”
Other unique features include apps such as “Breathe”, “Yoga” and “Meditation” to help wearers to destress. These apps and many more are part of the more than 150 apps and mini games, together with ExerSense that can automatically recognise eight sports and more than 150 sports modes. Upgrades to sports modes include the Triathlon mode, a 3-sports-in-1 mode capable of tracking swim, cycle and run. The AI-powered Zepp Coach helps monitor wearers’ performance through benchmarks and milestones during exercise.
Together with upgrades such as the BioTracker 5.0, microphone and speaker, the Amazfit Balance is understated enough for business wear while resilient enough for active athletic use. The smartwatch provides all the tools for wearers to remain on-time with app notifications on health giving them the confidence in knowing that they can still have “balance” in their lives as they strive for success.
Starting on 22nd September 2023, the Amazfit Balance is available on Shopee at https://bit.ly/Amazfit-Shopee-Balance, Lazada at https://bit.ly/Amazfit-Lazada-Balance, and the TikTok Shop, selling for RM1099.

To advance the state of the art in HF digital voice and to promote its use, Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) has awarded $420,000 to the FreeDV Project. With this grant, the FreeDV Project team will:
– Hire experienced digital signal processing developers to work with the volunteer staff to improve speech quality and improve low signal-to-noise ratio operation, making FreeDV performance superior to single-sideband (SSB) over poor high-frequency (HF)
channels.
– Work with commercial HF radio companies to embed FreeDV into at least two
commercial radios, greatly reducing set up effort and reducing latency.
– Continue development of a suite of advanced, open-source
HF modems, with the goal of making FreeDV’s digital performance comparable to VARA at both low and high signal-noise ratios.
– Continue support of the existing software library
(libcodec2) and application software (freedv-gui), and embedded FreeDV adaptors
(SM1000 and ezDV).
– Better promote FreeDV online and in person at amateur radio
clubs and conventions.
The FreeDV Project team believes that the work funded by this grant will:
– Open the path to widespread adoption of a truly open-source, next-generation digital voice system for HF radio.
– Provide a mature, open-source low-bit-rate codec useful for a variety of amateur radio and commercial applications.
– Provide a suite of high performance, HF data modems for open-source data applications usable by any radio amateur.
About FreeDV
FreeDV is a low-bit-rate digital voice mode for HF radio. Initially developed by David Rowe, VK5DGR, an international team of radio amateurs are now working together on the project. FreeDV is open-source software, released under the GNU Lesser Public License (LPGL) version 2.1. The modems and Codec 2 speech codec used in FreeDV are also open source. Hardware and software developers can integrate FreeDV into their projects using the FreeDV API. To operate FreeDV, radio amateurs either run the FreeDV GUI application on Windows, Linux and OSX machines or use the SM1000 FreeDV adaptor. Either method allows hams to use a single-sideband HF radio to send and receive FreeDV signals. To learn more about FreeDV, go to https://www.freedv.org.

Cisco and NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) today announced plans to expand their collaboration efforts to include system integration solutions and potential opportunities in 5G xHaul and private 5G to help customers transform their architecture and connect more people and things.
End-to-End 5G xHaul Automation
Cisco and NEC have expanded areas of collaboration under their Global Systems Integrator Agreement (GSIA) with augmented solutions for scalable 5G xHaul transport networks, such as enhanced capabilities for end-to-end automation and routed optical networking to support operators’ monetization of 5G.
Following the initial signing of the GSIA two years ago, the companies combined their respective strengths to expand geographical coverage of their solutions with stronger, faster connections for global operators such as Telefonica Vivo. With increasing traffic surges, demand for faster time to market with assured quality, and the need to innovate from transport to the edge, the companies have agreed to expand areas of collaboration including enhanced automation and routed optical networking.
As part of the new collaboration, NEC will leverage its vast ecosystem and expertise as a global network integrator to overcome the complexity of multi-vendor networks. The company’s 5G Transport Centers of Excellence in EMEA and LATAM, with both local and regional engineering capabilities and a pool of global experience, will play a central role in navigating customers’ end-to-end network lifecycle and optimization in a phased approach.
With extensive experience, leadership, and knowledge of the industry, combined with a commitment to research and development, Cisco will provide industry-leading solutions that meet growing customer demands.
“The needs for modernized architecture in 5G have steadily enhanced our partnership with Cisco, leading us to this next level of partnership,” said Hideyuki Ogata, General Manager, Service Provider Solutions Department, NEC. “The industry-leading solutions from Cisco and our ecosystem partners, combined with our world-class network integration capabilities, enable us to deliver compelling solutions to multiple operators and verticals across the world.”
“Partnering with world-class technology leaders is essential to reaching the future of connectivity that we know is possible,” said Sanjay Kaul, President, Service Provider Business, Asia Pacific & Japan, Cisco. “That is why our partnership with NEC is so special. Our multi-level collaboration has enabled some of the largest IP Networks in the world using breakthrough architectures that change economics with routed optical networking, virtual routing, and 5G radio interoperability.”
Private 5G
Taking a new approach to networking and connectivity is fundamental. In addition to transport xHaul networks, the two companies plan to work together in areas of IoT, 5G, and Wi-Fi, driving the next wave of industrial transformation.
Under the Cisco’s Country Digital Acceleration program, work is in progress to qualify NEC’s new UNIVERGE RV 1200 radio with Cisco’s Private 5G solution at Cisco’s 5G Showcase in Tokyo, a world-leading 5G services incubation hub and Cisco engineering site to deliver game-changing private 5G solutions in the Japanese market.
The NEC UNIVERGE RV 1200 radio is designed and developed for the Japanese private 5G market. It is unique in that it’s all-in-one with RU/CU/DU in a single unit, compact and light weight, and positioned for both indoor and outdoor use, providing increased flexibility and scalability for installation.
“We are pleased to add private 5G for business to our long-standing strategic partnership between Cisco and NEC,” said Suhun Yun, Managing Director, Digital Network Business Division, NEC. “We look forward to the expansion of the partnership between the two companies, which will help accelerate private 5G market expansion and further efforts to address social issues.”
