Globe and Mail30-04-2025
Hangzhou, China--(Newsfile Corp. - April 30, 2025) - From April 23 to 25, the Third UNESCO High-Level Forum for Museums was held in Hangzhou. Gathering over 190 museum directors, experts, and institutional representatives from more than 60 countries and regions around the world, the forum focused on in-depth discussions around key topics, including "The Evolution and Transformative Role of Museums," "The Application of Digital Technology and Artificial Intelligence," and "The Role of Museums as Educational Carriers and Lifelong Learning Platforms." The outcomes of the forum will be presented at the World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development to be held in Spain in September 2025.

This forum was not only a professional cultural gathering but also a vibrant cross-cultural dialogue among youth. During the forum's activities, Aymene, a Generation Z student from Morocco studying in Hangzhou, visited sites such as Liangzhu Museum, personally experiencing how digital technology is reshaping museums - a vivid demonstration of international youth's innovative approach to "unlocking museums."
At Liangzhu Museum, Aymene engaged with the "Liangzhu Ancestors AI Face Swap Generator," where artificial intelligence created a personal portrait infused with Liangzhu cultural elements. In front of the camera, he exclaimed, "It truly generated an AI image of me in the style of Liangzhu!" With the integration of AI, museums are no longer just places to observe history but have evolved into platforms to converse with history. Technology has rendered traditional culture tangible, approachable, and playful.

Another highlight was the AR headset tour. Aymene marveled at how it "broke the limits of perception." With a simple gesture, pottery and jade cong artifacts from 5,000 years ago leapt vividly before his eyes, accompanied by clear explanations of their functions, craftsmanship, and historical backgrounds. Regarding these technological displays of cultural heritage, Aymene remarked, "They have turned 5,000-year-old cultural symbols into a universal language for the world. With cultural continuity enhanced by technological innovation, it's no wonder that this homegrown AR headset from Hangzhou won the admiration of museum directors from around the globe."
Through the lens of international youth, this forum raised an inspiring question: "How can Generation Z and museums achieve mutual engagement?" The answers are gradually emerging: telling artifact stories through short videos, and reviving ancient ruins with AI--these approaches not only dissolve the boundaries of space and perception but also reshape how people connect with cultural heritage.
To Gen Z, museums aren't dusty relics--they're a fleeting moment in history's river, a high-five across the expanse of time. With the advance of digital technologies and the growing cultural consciousness among global youth, future museums may evolve from being mere repositories of the past into laboratories for the future.
From "understanding" to "participating," from "passive reception" to "active engagement," international youth are redefining the way to unlock museums. This vibrant dialogue across the world is breathing new life into museums, opening up infinite possibilities for the future.

C-COM Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2025) - C-COM Satellite Systems Inc., (TSXV: CMI) (OTCQB: CYSNF) a leading global provider of commercial grade mobile auto-deploying satellite antenna systems, announced today its financial results for its second quarter of its 2025 fiscal year. The Company's Q2 2025 sales of $1.6 million came in at $1.0 million below revenues generated during Q2 of last year. The Company continues to face headwinds caused by the United States initiative to tariff many countries around the world. The competition from SpaceX's LEO satellite network and proprietary antenna systems is also a factor. Q2 2025's gross margin of 55% was back in the normal range after Q1's unusually low gross margin of 44%. Total expenses for Q2 2025 were reduced by $0.3 million year over year. However, the lower-than-normal revenue performance generated a net loss of $90,860. "Increased global investment in military capabilities bodes well for our sales prospects. We are starting to see increased inquiries and orders from military customers around the world," said Dr. Leslie Klein, President and CEO of C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Klein added, "In order to take advantage of this opportunity, C-COM's rugged antenna systems will be exhibited at the MSPO trade show this fall in Poland. The MSPO International Defense Industry Exhibition is one of Europe's key platforms for global military collaboration. This gathering will be an ideal place to show our Manpack series antennas as well as our new Ka-Band 1K LEO ESA antenna that is suitable for drone guidance and related mobile communications." "We are on track to have our testing and manufacturing of our Ka-band ESA multi-orbit antennas completed by the end of our fourth quarter as well as have the first batch of the 8-Chanel Analog Beamformer Integrated Circuits tested and ready for commercialization", concluded Dr. Klein. C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. is a pioneer and a leading global designer, developer, and manufacturer of transportable and mobile satellite-based antenna systems. The Company has developed proprietary, auto-acquisition controller technology for rapid antenna pointing to a satellite with just the press of a button, enabling Broadband Internet via Satellite across a wide range of market applications worldwide, including regions unserved or underserved by terrestrial access technologies. C-COM has sold more than 11,000 antenna systems, in over 100 countries, through a dedicated dealer network that provides service to a wide range of vertical markets such as Oil and Gas Exploration, Military Communications, Disaster Management, SNG, Emergency Communications, Cellular Backhaul, Telemedicine, Mobile Education, Government Services, Mobile Banking, and others. The Company's iNetVu® brand is synonymous with high quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. C-COM is in the final stages of satellite testing and manufacturing of a potentially revolutionary Ka-band, electronically steerable, modular, conformal, flat panel phased array antenna. C-COM has developed this unique multi-orbit antenna with the intent of providing low-cost, high-throughput mobility applications over satellite for land, airborne and maritime verticals over LEO, MEO and GEO satellite constellations. Another significant project underway at C-COM is the development of an Analog Beamforming Integrated Circuit, which is progressing well and is now in a testing phase. These BFICs will be used in the manufacturing of all our ESA antennas with the intent to significantly reduce their cost and improve their performance and will also be made available for sale.
