New Energy Update and Innovation

Eco Wave Power is a leading onshore wave energy company that developed a patented, smart and cost-efficient technology for turning ocean and sea waves into green electricity.

Eco Wave Power’s mission is to assist in the fight against climate change by enabling commercial power production from the ocean and sea waves.

The Company owns and operates a grid connected wave energy project in Israel, with co-investment from EDF Renewables IL and the Israeli Energy Ministry, which recognized Eco Wave Power’s technology as “Pioneering Technology.” The Israeli wave energy project marks the first grid-connected wave energy system in Israel’s history.

Eco Wave Power will soon commence the installation of its third, fourth and fifth wave energy projects, in the Port of Los Angeles, Taiwan, and Portugal.

Internet connectivity in Kenya 🇰🇪 continues to expand, following recent entry of Starlink into Kenyan market.So many people are opting to satellite Internet that's more reliable.The Starlink’s expansion in Kenya comes as the country faces challenges with traditional internet infrastructure, including disruptions caused by damage to undersea cables. The satellite-based service offers an alternative that is not dependent on ground-based infrastructure.

The company’s 50GB package at 1,300 Kenyan shillings per month is positioned to compete with comparable offerings from major telecommunications companies like Safaricom and Airtel. However, Starlink’s potential resistance to local internet restrictions could give it a unique advantage in the market.

Mobile and ubiquitous learning in higher education settings. A systematic review of empirical studies

Like no previous technology, mobile technology has spread at an unprecedented pace in the last few years. For example, in 2014, the number of mobile phone subscriptions reached six billion (ITU, 2014). Mobile devices are considered cultural tools that are transforming socio-cultural practices and structures in all spheres of life (Pachler, Bachmair, & Cook, 2010). This transformation is considered central even from an evolutionary perspective because it empowers humankind to engage in interactions that are free from the constraints of physical proximity and spatial immobility for the first time (Geser, 2004). Digital mobile devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and smart phones are also being used increasingly often for educational purposes. The educational use of digital mobile technology is at the core of vibrant and expanding streams of research known as mobile and ubiquitous learning. Both concepts are strongly interconnected. While some authors describe ubiquitous learning as a next-generation form of mobile learning where technology fades more into the background (Park, 2011), the terms are often used interchangeably (Hwang & Tsai, 2011). In essence, both approaches strongly emphasise the notion of ’context’ in learning. The field of mobile learning conceives the crossing of contexts as one of its constitutional characteristics (Pimmer, 2016).

The money will be used to expand the data centre operator’s capacity and meet growing demand for cloud computing services in South Africa, Africa Data Centres said in a statement.

RMB was responsible for facilitating a “bespoke financing solution” for Africa Data Centres, with Cassava Technologies CEO Hardy Pemhiwa describing it as a “significant milestone” for the company.

It underscores our confidence in the future of the South African data centre market

“It underscores our commitment to growth and our confidence in the future of the South African data centre market,” Pemhiwa said.

RMB acted as the coordinator, initial mandated lead arranger and bookrunner for the R2-billion facility.

The money will be used to build an additional 20MW of data centre capacity, expanding the company’s network of data centres in Southern, East and West Africa.

“We see this funding as part of RMB’s mandate of financing the development of a sustainable digital economy in South Africa,” said Nana Phiri, head of the corporate client group at RMB, in the statement.
