Tony Fernandes’s Capital A Group is planning New York listings for its low-cost AirAsia airline and a digital super app, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

“If you want to be an actor, you’re probably going to want to end up in Hollywood at some stage in your career,” Fernandes told the Financial Times.

“We think the time is right for part of Capital A Group to be listed in the US,” he was quoted as saying.

He said the group had begun compliance work and envisaged two separate listings, one for AirAsia “sometime next year”, followed by the so-called super app, which will offer services from travel to takeaways.

The company, which previously considered merging its digital businesses with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), dipped into the red during the pandemic, prompting audit firm EY in July 2020 to question its ability to survive. Fernandes said that issue had now been resolved.

Capital A, previously known as AirAsia Group, has been aggressively building its digital businesses and super app over the last two years as most of its planes were grounded due to travel restrictions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. The group has hoped to build its super app, modeling regional tech giants such as Grab’s and Gojek’s super apps which offer a variety of services including ride-hailing, food delivery, and payment services.

Capital A remains under Practice Note 17 (PN17) on the Malaysian stock exchange — a listing for groups in financial distress. Fernandes, who is Capital A’s Chief Executive Officer, insisted that was a solvable “accounting” issue, which “doesn’t reflect the fundamentals of the company”, he told Financial Times.

He said 85 of AirAsia’s 212 aircraft were now flying, with 80 to 90 percent load factors, and 176 aircraft back in the skies by December. “I think in the third and fourth quarter, we would be EBITDA-positive, including leasing, and so . . . I’m quite confident of 2023 being profitable and definitely cash flow positive,” he was quoted as saying.

Capital A’s first-quarter losses widened to MYR903.79 million ($204.67 million) from MYR767.42 million a year ago.
Revenue jumped 152.78 percent year-on-year to MYR811.78 million.

Commenting on the listing plans, Fernandes cited his success in transforming from Warner Music executive to budget aviation pioneer after buying AirAsia from the Malaysian government in 2001 for less than $1, would eventually sway investors.

“Twenty years ago, when I started this airline, no investor wanted to invest in us. It wasn’t a very convincing story to say you’re going to start up an airline when you’re from the music business, with no money, and go up against Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines and the like,” he was quoted as saying.

“Twenty years later, I now say I’m going to take on these digital unicorns. Probably not a convincing story either from an airline that’s struggling, going through Covid, has a weak balance sheet, etc. But it’s slowly coming,” he told Financial Times.

The airasia super app was valued at around $1 billion in July last year in a deal where the digital arm of AirAsia Group will acquire Gojek’s operations in Thailand for $50 million. The purchase considerations for the proposed acquisitions will be wholly satisfied by the issue of new shares in the airasia super app. Gojek will own 4.76 percent in airasia super app after the acquisition, the companies announced then.

On Monday, Capital A shares were trading at MYR0.635 at the time of writing, giving the group a market capitalization of MYR2.642 billion ($598.26 million) .

Use Cases:
Track and trace; battery-powered sensors, continuous transmission of small geo-data packets to the cloud.
Agricultural monitoring; low-powered, transmitting selective low-volume data points to a gateway device.
Smart building; battery-powered sensors that only “wake up” when an action is triggered or when transmitting low-volume data to the centralized monitoring and management platform.
Thick Edge Hardware
A thick edge is an IoT solution that supports and manages high-powered, high-capability edge hardware. Some examples include high-powered IoT gateway devices from companies like Dell and Cisco, Arm Cortex-A devices, x.86-based devices, and others. These devices can run advanced on-device inference, event processing rules, business logic, analytics, and machine learning algorithms.

Thin vs. Thick Edge: Which Is Better?
The short answer: It depends. An enterprise’s use-case and software capabilities are the primary factors in determining which edge hardware best suits its needs. According to MachNation research of enterprise IoT buyers, roughly 90 percent of the complexity at the edge is software-related. Thus, while many hardware vendors already provide hardware that adequately supports most IoT solutions, the quality, sophistication, usability, and scalability of vendors’ software and platform for both thin and thick edge deployments remain a differentiator. While having the right software to suit enterprise needs is critical, choosing the right edge hardware can often be the key differentiator between an overly-complex, costly edge deployment and an effective one.

Thin Edge Hardware & Use Cases
A thin edge is an IoT solution that supports and manages decentralized deployments of low-powered, memory and power constrained devices. Some examples include Arm Cortex-M devices, low-power Texas Instruments (TI) devices, Marvell Technology devices, and others.

These devices transmit data northbound with minimal execution of workloads (e.g., filtering, aggregation, or normalization) or with analytics being performed at the site of data origin. Enterprises install thin edge nodes to connect legacy equipment to their cloud solutions, taking advantage of cost savings on equipment.

Industry experts agree that critical infrastructure for Internet-of-Things (IoT) deployments will continue to shift towards the edge. As new use cases emerge across industries investing in their digital transformation journeys, the diversification of edge-enabled physical hardware will continue to expand with technology and business requirements. Edge deployments in IoT are highly diverse and exist within a spectrum between “thin” and “thick”. Lets take a look at thin vs. thick edge IoT, compare and contrast both ends of that spectrum, and then take a look at some of the technical requirements for enterprise IoT deployments for each.

This QR a bit sad, nvm.... have to wait for next round..

Sorry to ask @jazmaster - what is EMS in full term ?

I am not posting any random info. Is related with future 5g and potential behind.

Furthermore, he said the combination use of 5G and AI is also important in smart farming to analyse data on soil acidity, nutrient levels and temperature remotely through the use of sensors.

"Additionally, one of the common deployments of 5G is the smart city. For instance, Langkawi has demonstrated transmission and monitoring for enforcement purposes using 5G through the setting up of traffic cameras in strategic locations to recognise and analyse human behaviour.

"We can also see use cases in the oil and gas industry such as Petronas' deployment of autonomous robots to conduct inspections, 4K video streaming and some other sensors for their operations," he said.

As such, Hafizal opined that the government's plans have been implemented with a clear goal in mind, and he hopes that the synergy and coordination among relevant agencies would be strengthened to make sure the plan is executed as planned. — BERNAMA

According to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), a total of 500 5G locations have been completed under phase 1A as at December 2021, covering areas in Cyberjaya, Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur, while phase 1B would see another rollout of 3,518 5G sites by year-end.

Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB), the government-owned special purpose vehicle (SPV) for the 5G rollout, is committed to an accelerated schedule to roll out 5G coverage to 80 per cent of the population by 2024.

Hafizal said the new generation of network enables small and medium enterprises to have secure, stable and reliable connectivity to promote their product with creativity.

"If you look back to the 3G era, if companies wanted to promote their services or products, they're able to circulate the information using videos and audios to describe (them) but with 5G, we might see more advance methods being used, including high-definition videos," he said.

Under Jalinan Digital Negara (JENDELA), he said the government has provided a high-quality initiative for a 5G wireless network, where the MCMC has identified three bands, namely low-band, mid-band and high-band, in accordance with other countries.

"With 5G, we can also see high-speed data and ultra-low latency application emerging, particularly in industrial usage as it is important in the era of industrial revolution and some other applications of vertical that require very low latency.

"If you do a speed test, end users can see several megabit per second speed for 4G-compatible devices, but 5G can deliver up to a gigabit data per second, besides increasing capacity by about 100 times compared to 4G," he explained.

The 3G network is being retired effective Dec 31, 2021, while the 4G network is being strengthened as part of the JENDELA initiative that aims to upgrade Malaysia's digital communications infrastructure in preparation for the 5G rollout.

On Nov 10, 2021, the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia launched the country's first 5G network in a bid to improve connectivity and become a high-income nation.

The rollout of 5G will not affect the 4G connectivity for the public as both networks are being deployed independently, Hafizal said, adding that the network would support more devices, including the internet of things (IoT) devices.

KUALA LUMPUR: The deployment of the fifth-generation network (5G) in Malaysia is poised to benefit the end-users in numerous areas and create jobs for the people with the rollout being on track.

Prof Ir Dr Hafizal Mohamad, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia head of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, said Malaysia could see more new jobs with the advancement of the network, coupled with artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) applications, particularly in the education, agriculture and manufacturing sectors.

Being one of the first countries in the region to build a 5G ecosystem, he said some projections estimated that approximately 148,000 new jobs would be created as the new 5G rollout progresses.

"These new AI and AR applications are not possible with the current network, unlike the 5G network. Therefore, we should be able to see quite a number of startups blooming soon to provide new services for 5G," he told Bernama recently.

It’s all about profits for 5G in Malaysia

Very bad economic, Air asia demand will getting strong.

Ignore Line -
1) Can't recognize what is IoT, take a none related video from YouTube and explain this is IoT.
2) SPAM More than 20 pages+ FULL OF ARBB
3) Copy paste the question over and over again. (Even all question is answer by different people)
4) Cursing on everyone family.
5) Line can browse i3 but cant read/download report (joke of the day)
6) Predict tomorrow number .

So I do it the same.

No need to pity anyone, Nobody giving hope. but line giving attention. Spam 1 answer need use so many row.

WHAT Is The motive ?

buy sell at own risk. From my understanding nobody doing buy call - only our big fans LINE being aggressive everyday, even holiday.

Specialized handphone shop is not smart home related, and industry is so big. You think you own the whole market and most important you are not industry player. (Forgot : you only get limited knowledge from the youtube you shared.)

Line know Sim card, but you don't know what is IoT.

line can't even know what is IoT, you guys expect he or she know what is 5G ?

Company share price is stable and green

To avoid or not . Market make own decision. Not line

Afraid, lmao ?

Lmao

business still on going, yes, inflation is here but due to people has not much of extra cash to travel. They need low cost flight.

AirAsia has appointed Boni Andika (pictured) as it head of brand marketing, Indonesia. Andika told MARKETING-INTERACTIVE that in his new role, he will manage the brand and marketing functions for airasia Super App in the market, especially on the current delivery business of the super app, which includes airasia food, airasia ride, and airasia xpress. "I want to connect consumers through a highly engaging brand experience that convinces them to consider our value offerings," he said.

Andika formerly worked in social media, community and influencer marketing at iStyle.id. During his time there, he improved the company's engagement performance on Instagram by three times, as well as developed a community program to achieve the business' objective and increase brand awareness, his LinkedIn stated.

Prior to that, Andika was strategic campaign lead at B2B marketplace Ralali.com, where he developed monthly campaign marketing roadmaps to generate growth for each Ralali’s business streamlines, marketplaces, digital goods, fintech, and services. Andika also previously worked in Malaysia as head of campaign at RinggitPlus and iPrice Group.

Andika said that his goal is to make AirAsia synonymous with its super app. To that end, he plans to create creative content and a community that will entice the super app members and audiences based on various relevant interest groups and channels. "We own the airline-turned-super app narrative to increase stickiness and awareness with consumers. We are also continuously curating and creating an immersive and meaningful experience with relevant and attractive pull factors across all target audiences and, at the same time, rewarding our audiences' participation with daily and seasonal activities that drive engagement and habit formation," he added.

AI-powered hyper-personalisation is also a marketing and advertising trend Andika said he is very keen on, as "having a robust marketing strategy isn't enough anymore". As consumer expectations change, competition becomes more advanced, and data gets more detailed, marketers are under immense pressure to modernise their marketing approach — this is where AI-powered hyper-personalisation takes an essential role, he explained.

Andika added how AI-powered hyper-personalisation delivers optimal results by allowing companies to tailor their marketing efforts at the individual level by using data gathered on that specific customer. "For example, personalised product recommendations or unique discounts can be shared using unique customer data such as psychographics or real-time engagement with our brand. This allows us to optimise whom we target with key messages and offers through the most relevant and appropriate channels," he said.

Separately, airasia Super App inked a five-year deal with Google Cloud last month. According to a press release, the partnership aims to push a “co-innovation ecosystem”. This includes nurturing technology talent, co-creating software tools for innovation, delivering data-driven intelligence for MSMEs on the platform, and ensuring accessibility for users in both cities and rural areas. The partnership with Google Cloud will help airasia’s current ecosystem in transactions,while partnering up with entities such as restaurants, airlines, hotels and drivers.

The strategic collaboration and ecosystem building efforts will see Airasia Super App and Google Cloud establishing a Cloud Centre of Excellence (CCoE) consisting of AirAsia Allstars and Google Cloud technologists. The CCoE is aimed to “embed an agile culture” across all airasia Super App business units enabling teams to embrace change and upskill talent. This includes tapping into Google Cloud’s Site Reliability Engineering best practices, so that staff and AirAsia Academy graduates can strengthen their technical capabilities and meet the requirements of the fast-growing business.

High Demand.... Airasia will be back
