  • TP-Link dan UiTM Meterai MoU untuk Pembangunan Kemahiran Perangkaian Industri

    TP-Link dan UiTM Meterai MoU untuk Pembangunan Kemahiran Perangkaian Industri

    TP-Link Distribution Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (TP-Link Malaysia) dan Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) telah menandatangani Memorandum Persefahaman (MoU) strategik bagi memperkasa pelajar dengan kemahiran perangkaian yang selaras dengan keperluan industri, pengalaman perusahaan secara praktikal serta pensijilan yang diiktiraf di peringkat global.

    Kerjasama selama tiga tahun ini dirangka untuk merapatkan jurang antara pembelajaran akademik dan keperluan sebenar industri. Melalui inisiatif ini, pelajar UiTM berpeluang menamatkan pengajian dengan kebolehan praktikal yang sejajar dengan keperluan semasa industri, sekali gus mengukuhkan kolaborasi antara sektor akademia dan industri.

    Sebagai teras utama kerjasama, penyelesaian rangkaian perusahaan Omada oleh TP-Link akan dilaksanakan di makmal UiTM bagi memberi pendedahan langsung kepada pelajar terhadap infrastruktur yang digunakan dalam persekitaran perniagaan sebenar. Inisiatif ini turut disokong oleh program latihan berstruktur, bengkel teknikal serta akses kepada laluan pensijilan Omada Certified Network Administrator (OCNA).

    Pelajar juga akan mendapat manfaat daripada peluang latihan industri dan penempatan praktikal bersama TP-Link, sekali gus membuka laluan yang lebih jelas daripada dunia akademik ke alam pekerjaan dalam ekonomi digital Malaysia yang semakin pesat berkembang.

    Kerjasama ini turut dibina berasaskan kejayaan inisiatif terdahulu antara TP-Link Malaysia dan Universiti Malaya, di mana lebih 500 pelajar telah menyertai program pensijilan pada tahun 2025, sekali gus mencerminkan permintaan tinggi terhadap kemahiran dan pensijilan rangkaian yang relevan dengan industri.

    Pengarah Serantau TP-Link Distribution Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., Hugo Cai, berkata bahawa merentasi pelbagai industri, organisasi kini sedang memperluas infrastruktur digital mereka, namun masih berdepan kekurangan tenaga profesional yang memiliki kepakaran dalam rangkaian perusahaan. Beliau menegaskan bahawa kerjasama ini memberi tumpuan kepada usaha merapatkan jurang tersebut dengan melengkapkan pelajar dengan kemahiran praktikal yang disokong pensijilan serta relevan dengan keperluan industri sejak awal kerjaya mereka.

    Sementara itu, Naib Canselor Universiti Teknologi MARA, Prof. Datuk Ts. Dr. Shahrin Sahib @ Sahibuddin, menekankan kepentingan melahirkan graduan yang bukan sahaja kukuh dari segi akademik, tetapi juga memiliki kemahiran praktikal yang relevan dengan perkembangan pesat landskap digital. Menurut beliau, kerjasama seperti ini membolehkan program pengajian diselaraskan dengan kemajuan teknologi serta jangkaan industri semasa.

    Selain pembangunan bakat, kedua-dua pihak turut akan meneroka peluang kerjasama dalam bidang penyelidikan, perundingan serta pertukaran pengetahuan, sekali gus memperkukuh hubungan antara jurutera TP-Link dan ahli fakulti UiTM.

    Seiring dengan usaha Malaysia memperkukuh aspirasi ekonomi digital, inisiatif yang menghubungkan pendidikan secara langsung dengan keperluan industri ini dijangka memainkan peranan penting dalam memastikan negara kekal berdaya saing dalam membangunkan serta mengekalkan infrastruktur digital moden.

    HONOR 600 Series Introduces AI Image to Video 2.0, Turning Photos into Cinematic Stories

    Following the official unveiling of the HONOR 600 Series on Friday, HONOR today announced that Malaysia will be the first country, ahead of China and other global markets, to launch the highly anticipated flagship smartphones on 22 April 2026. The HONOR 600 Series introduces significant upgrades in next-generation AI imaging, led by the AI Image to Video 2.0 feature. This latest innovation redefines mobile storytelling by enabling users to transform static photographs into cinematic, high-quality videos with greater creative flexibility than ever before.

    The AI Image to Video 2.0 feature allows users to create beyond conventional limits by combining multiple photographs with customised prompts. Building on the earlier version introduced in the HONOR 400 Series, which offered a single-template experience, this upgraded feature brings three major enhancements: multi-image to video composition, personalised prompts for tailored creations, and a selection of creative templates. Together, these improvements provide users with greater control over how their digital stories are crafted and presented.

    With support for up to three still images, AI Image to Video 2.0 can generate high-quality video clips lasting three to five seconds, enhanced by user-defined prompts. This capability transforms static memories into dynamic, cinematic narratives. Beyond simple animation, the feature also carries emotional significance, offering users a way to reconnect with meaningful moments, whether it is visualising a reunion with loved ones separated by distance or recreating cherished memories with family members or pets.

    In addition, the introduction of customised prompts opens up limitless creative possibilities. Users can bring imaginative scenarios to life, from extraordinary adventures to playful, whimsical ideas, simply by describing them. This approach goes beyond traditional photo editing, offering a new form of digital expression that turns ideas and daydreams into vivid, shareable visual content.

    The AI Image to Video 2.0 feature is further enhanced by a library of 13 creative templates designed with cinematic camera movements, visual effects, and film-inspired styles. These templates allow users to produce professional-looking videos effortlessly, whether adding dramatic motion effects or transforming everyday snapshots into visually compelling stories.

    The HONOR 600 Series will officially launch in Malaysia on 22 April 2026 at 3:00 PM. The event is expected to showcase the full capabilities of the new series, along with exclusive announcements. Viewers can watch the launch livestream via HONOR Malaysia’s official Facebook page. For more information, visit https://www.honor.com/my/.
