By pairing a “SoUnTelco” attitude with an innovative Juniper networking backbone, Macquarie Telecom seeks to disrupt the status quo by transforming the service experience SYDNEY, Australia, Aug 6 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-driven networks, today announced that Macquarie Telecom (part of the Macquarie Telecom Group ASX: MAQ), has selected Juniper Networks for the refresh of its nationwide network from the core to the edge, and to power its continued growth through its ‘customer-first’ attitude across telecom, data center and cloud services. Since its inception, Macquarie Telecom has always sought to disrupt the status quo of the traditional telco industry. With a specific focus on the underserved corporations across Australia’s mid-to-large Enterprise and Government customers, Macquarie Telecom has seen tremendous growth due to the industry’s appreciation of its highly-differentiated and innovative customer experience. Macquarie Telecom has seen strong recognition from its customers, with its Net Promoter Score (a measure of customer satisfaction) the highest in Australia1, far outpacing traditional industry competitors. For Macquarie Telecom, inflexible telecom terms, long lead times and indifferent customer service are old business practices untenable in today’s fast-moving digital world. However, the ability to provide those differentiated levels of experience requires a high-performing networking infrastructure from which to launch services. As such, Macquarie Telecom partnered with Juniper Networks to power its nationwide refresh and to introduce agile, automated and AI-driven innovation across its network. 1 A net promoter score (NPS) of +50 or greater is excellent, and Macquarie Telecom’s NPS is the highest in Australia at +72. https://macquarietelecomgroup.com/customer-experience/ News Highlights: · Across a variety of core, aggregation and edge functions within Macquarie Telecom’s network sit the MX10003, MX480 and MX204 Universal Routing Platforms · Segment routing is utilized to route traffic across Macquarie Telecom’s national product network, the first by an Australian Juniper Networks customer on the MX10K platform · The open frameworks, APIs and toolkits available across Juniper’s networking and security solutions are leveraged by Macquarie Telecom to facilitate increased network reliability while simplifying automation · Junos® OS as a common operating system delivers the reliability, security, flexibility, and consistency required by Macquarie Telecom to manage its voice, data, data center and cloud services · The nationwide network upgrade by Juniper Networks is slated to be completed by the end of 2020 · Macquarie Telecom continues to explore ways to leverage the Juniper platform to deliver innovative and exceptional customer-centric services for its in-demand services, including through an ongoing focus on increasing automation across its network operations http://mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=37868 |

Soka Gakkai calls for nuclear weapon elimination
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 -- The Soka Gakkai Buddhist organisation recently put out a statement, calling for the elimination of nuclear weapons and early entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
This is to mark the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, according to a statement.
The Soka Gakkai pledges to exert all efforts for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons and also urges the Japanese Government to move toward participation in the TPNW.
“In recent years, there are signs that a nuclear arms race among the nuclear-weapon states is again intensifying,” said Yoshiki Tanigawa, chair of the Soka Gakkai Council on Peace Issues, in a statement.
“At the same time, the global spread of the novel coronavirus has demonstrated that military force is incapable of resolving global challenges, compelling us to confront the question of what constitutes authentic security for human beings.”
Today and Aug 8, respectively, the Soka Gakkai in Hiroshima and Nagasaki will hold online meetings to listen to testimonies of hibakusha, the survivors of the atomic bombings, while the Soka Gakkai in Japan will hold an online youth summit toward the renunciation of war in September.
At the global level, the SGI (Soka Gakkai International), with around 200 organisations of different faith backgrounds has signed a Joint Interfaith Statement on the 75th Anniversary of the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The Soka Gakkai is a global Buddhist organisation with 12 million members worldwide that promotes peace, culture and education. More details at www.sgi.org.

ODD CONCEPTS LAUNCHES AI STYLE DISCOVERY PLATFORM INTRODUCING NEW PARADIGM IN ONLINE FASHION CONSUMPTION
SEOUL, South Korea, Aug 4 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Odd Concepts, an AI-based fashion tech company (CEO: Kim Jeong-tae), launches AI style discovery platform to introduce a new paradigm in online fashion consumption to Singapore.
Odd Concepts announced that it launched ‘StyleCrush (www.stylecrush.is),’ a style discovery platform developed using AI technology, in Singapore.
StyleCrush is a fashion discovery platform where consumers collect fashion style images according to their tastes in a digital album and the AI technology assists users to enjoy fashion by helping them conveniently search and purchase similar products.
When consumers upload style images like those of popular celebrities or paste in image links to StyleCrush, the AI system searches similar style products and connects consumers to shopping malls where they can purchase the products conveniently. If an image contains a bag or shoes in addition to clothes, the AI system also finds the accessories.
Consumers can build a wish list amongst the fashion products discovered through search and create an album with their preferred style images. In other words, StyleCrush is an online place where individual consumers can enjoy fashion by building their own collection of fashion styles.
Odd Concepts collaborates with Suggesty and Sta1 of Korea, as well as Qoo10, the largest shopping mall in Singapore, to help consumers discover and enjoy a greater variety of fashion styles on StyleCrush.
Suggesty is an online mall selling AI-curated Korean designer brands internationally and will share its database and apparels with StyleCrush. Sta1 is the largest Korean fashion platform where more than one million products from over six thousand brands are registered. StyleCrush carries South East Asia’s biggest amount of latest K-style fashion products.
To help consumers discover a greater variety of fashion styles across APAC, Odd Concepts will expand cooperation with fashion and apparel e-commerce partners in Singapore and ASEAN countries.
"StyleCrush reflects a new wave of needs which arises from the next generation consumers, amid the radical shift in the online fashion industry. AI assisting fashion discovery solely from a user style will become a new norm for the coming years," said Brian S. Bae, Chief Strategy Officer at Odd Concepts. "We look forward to connecting online shopping malls to style wannabes across Asia."
Established in 2012, Odd Concepts is a leading Vision AI company that provides PXL service, which recommends personalized products to consumers by utilizing AI in searching and analyzing images, to around 200 fashion e-commerce partners at home and in the APAC countries.
Since February, through the acquisition of SEACRUX, a Singaporean start-up, Odd Concepts has been promoting contextual targeting ad business based on applied machine learning, which is a service to analyze fashion products in the images of web pages viewed by consumers and suggest similar products to them, in the APAC markets.
