Ministry of Communications of Turkmenistan Announces International Tender for Internet Network Modernization
25 Mar. 10:00The Ministry of Communications of Turkmenistan has announced an international tender to modernize the country’s multiservice data transmission network (Internet). The project involves the supply, installation, and configuration of advanced telecommunications equipment to enhance the overall performance and reliability of the nation's digital infrastructure. As reported by the "Neutral Turkmenistan" newspaper, this initiative reflects the government's commitment to accelerating digital transformation and improving online service standards for all users.
To participate in the tender, prospective bidders are required to submit a written application and acquire the official set of bidding documents. In line with international standards, proposals must be submitted in two separate envelopes: one containing the technical specifications and the other providing the commercial terms. This structured process ensures that the most technologically advanced and cost-effective solutions are selected to upgrade the existing infrastructure.
Applications are accepted within 30 business days from the date the announcement was published. The modernization of the national internet network is expected to significantly increase bandwidth, reduce latency, and provide a more robust platform for e-commerce, digital education, and telecommunication services. By investing in modern hardware and software solutions, Turkmenistan aims to build a more resilient and future-ready information ecosystem.

On-the-Go Power: Japanese Engineers Develop Wireless In-Road Charging for Electric Vehicles
10 Oct. 08:10In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.
The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
