TOKYO, 1er mars 2022/PRNewswire/ — Casio Computer Co., Ltd. annoncé aujourd’hui la sortie d’une nouvelle addition à la série MR-G, la ligne phare de la marque de montres résistantes aux chocs G-SHOCK. La nouvelle MRG-B5000 est la première montre MR-G qui reprend le design iconique de la toute première G-SHOCK.

En référence au design de la DW-5000C, la toute première G-SHOCK sortie en 1983, la MRG-B5000 confère désormais un aspect brillant et une élégance remarquable à la montre résistante aux chocs en utilisant des métaux de pointe avec une finition de qualité exceptionnelle.

Afin d’appliquer des finitions raffinées aux moindres recoins de la forme complexe de la lunette, qui se compose de 25 éléments différents, Casio a développé la nouvelle structure Multi-Guard. Cette nouvelle structure intègre des pièces absorbant les chocs dans la lunette multi-composants afin de garantir une excellente résistance aux chocs, tout en permettant d’appliquer des finitions soignées à chaque élément distinct, jusque dans les moindres recoins, pour une finition d’une beauté époustouflante. Le bracelet utilise également une structure spéciale, avec des broches distinctes intégrées dans les orifices ronds de chaque maillon métallique, afin de permettre un travail de précision pour une finition tout aussi esthétique du bracelet.

La qualité du savoir-faire des experts se reflète dans les matériaux de pointe, fabriqués au Japon, utilisés pour la MRG-B5000. Le COBARION, dont la dureté est environ quatre fois supérieure à celle du titane pur et dont l’éclat est comparable à celui du platine, est utilisé pour la surface supérieure de la lunette. Le bracelet est fabriqué en DAT55G, un alliage de titane qui est à la fois environ trois fois plus solide que le titane pur et très facile à travailler, ce qui le rend résistant aux rayures et garantit une belle finition miroir durable.

Un polissage magistral et des matériaux méticuleusement sélectionnés se conjuguent pour créer une montre digne de ce design original, mais avec la qualité caractéristique de la ligne MR-G, qui se tient au sommet de la vaste famille des montres G-SHOCK.

Sur le plan fonctionnel, la MRG-B5000 dispose d’un calibrage radiocommandé et de la connectivité Smartphone Link. La montre se connecte à l’application smartphone CASIO WATCHES dédiée pour s’ajuster automatiquement à l’heure exacte. Elle est également équipée d’un système de charge solaire et d’un éclairage LED haute luminosité pour plus de commodité.

Comme les autres montres MR-G, la MRG-B5000 est fabriquée sur la ligne de production Premium haut de gamme de Yamagata Casio, l’usine principale de la production de montres Casio.

TOKYO, March 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of a new addition to the MR-G series, the flagship line of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. The new MRG-B5000 is the first MR-G timepiece to feature the iconic design of the very first G-SHOCK.

With a nod to the design of the DW-5000C, the first-ever G-SHOCK released in 1983, the MRG-B5000 now brings a brilliant shine and dignified distinction to the shock-resistant watch by employing cutting-edge metals finished with master polishing craftsmanship.

In order to apply sophisticated polished finishes to even the tiniest corners of the complex bezel form, which is made of 25 different components, Casio developed the new Multi-Guard Structure. The new structure incorporates shock-absorbent parts in the multi-component bezel to ensure excellent shock-resistance, while also allowing polished finishes to be applied to each individual component, down to the most challenging spots, for a stunningly beautiful finish. The band employs a special structure, as well, with separate pins embedded in round holes in each metal link, to allow detailed polishing for an equally beautiful finish on the band.

The quality of the master polishing craftsmanship really shows on the cutting-edge, made-in-Japan materials used for the MRG-B5000. COBARION, which has a hardness about four times that of pure titanium and a brilliant gleam comparable to platinum, is used for the top surface of the bezel. The band is made with DAT55G, a titanium alloy that is both about three times harder than pure titanium and highly workable, making it scratch-resistant and ensuring a long-lasting, beautiful mirror finish.

Masterfully crafted polishing and meticulously selected materials come together to create a timepiece worthy of that original design, but with the trademark quality of the MR-G line, which stands at the pinnacle of the diverse family of G-SHOCK watches.

When it comes to function, the MRG-B5000 features radio-controlled calibration and Smartphone Link connectivity. The watch connects with the dedicated CASIO WATCHES smartphone app to automatically adjust to the correct time. It also comes equipped with a solar charging system and high-brightness LED light for added convenience.

As with other MR-G watches, the MRG-B5000 is crafted on the high-end Premium Production Line at Yamagata Casio, the “mother factory” of Casio watch production.

It adopts the smart antenna array 3.0 with antenna gain reaching 10dBi, enabling stable and comprehensive 5G signal reception even with weak signals. Nevertheless, MC888 Ultra continuously dissipates heat by adopting penetrating self-ventilation technology and a top-down permeable air duct design. As a result, ultra-long and stable high-speed operation is ensured even under high-power conditions. Remarkably, MC888 Ultra also supports one-touch NFC connection, enabling NFC-enabled Android smartphones to connect to these routers by a single touch, without the tedious process of entering passwords.

Meanwhile, the standard MC888 model with the Qualcomm X62 platform, which supports Wi-Fi 6 with a peak rate of 3600Mbps, can be connected by up to 32 users simultaneously. Notably, this model uses the same antenna technology as the MC888 Ultra, and the built-in high-gain antenna ensures powerful signal reception for users.

For outdoor scenarios, as a world-leading communication company, ZTE launched MC889 and MC889 Pro, compatible with mmWave, Sub-6 5G and 4G LTE networks, designed to address the low penetrating performance pain point of mmWave and Sub-6 network signals and impose higher requirements on temperature, environment, and signal reception capacity. IP67 and IP65 dustproof and waterproof to industrial grade, the series can work normally at temperatures between minus 40 and 60 degrees–which makes the series a truly all-weather outdoor CPE product. MC889 Pro adopts the super gain antenna technology capable of 11dBi, which greatly improves signal reception for terminal users.

Based on indoor and outdoor 5G CPE, ZTE had also developed a new-gen portable 5G MiFi product MU5120, which can be stably accessed by 32 devices simultaneously. The device adopts the Qualcomm Fixed Wireless Access Platform Gen 2 featuring Snapdragon X62 5G Modem-RF Platform and the Wi-Fi 6 scheme with low power consumption and includes a 10000mAh battery with a battery life of over 16 hours. Meanwhile, MU5120 also supports 18W reverse fast charging and one-touch NFC function, providing a more functional practical experience for users.

Apart from the five aforementioned new products, ZTE also announced the MC888 Flagship at MWC 2022, the first Wi-Fi7 5G CPE with the strongest configurations across the globe, which will deliver the best experience in the industry and will be available on the market in Q4 of this year.

In addition, ZTE also showcased their excellent communication performance. With the new Qualcomm SD X65 chip, the new-gen 5G mmWave CPE has improved the transmission rate of high-power 5G mmWave CPE to more than 10Gbps, enabling the wireless transmission rate of terminal devices to surpass computer hardware. The new CPE will support dual link between Sub-6G and mmWave. Through new heat conduction and heat dissipation materials, time-sharing CA technology and a new generation micro controlled power algorithm, stronger heat dissipation and signal coverage are realized. It can be widely used in fields such as Big Data, IoT, and the IoV.

“For many years, Qualcomm Technologies and ZTE have collaborated in the development of mobile broadband products, with some of ZTE’s most powerful 5G solutions being Fixed Wireless Access CPEs for homes and offices based on the Qualcomm Fixed Wireless Access Platform Gen 1,” said Gautam Sheoran, vice president, product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Congratulations to ZTE on its unveiling of next-generation indoor and outdoor 5G CPE products, as well as mobile routers powered by Qualcomm Fixed Wireless Access Platform Gen 2 featuring Snapdragon X65 and X62 5G Modem-RF Platforms. We look forward to helping ZTE deliver optimized performance, coverage, and user experiences to more homes and offices with its new generation of products.”

“Based on the “1+2+N” full-scenario smart ecological system, ZTE Mobile Devices are gradually creating a full-scenario smart lifestyle and have now occupied the biggest 5G CPE global market share. For the Internet of Everything (IOE), the all-scenario integration of “1+2+N” cannot be achieved without the assistance of “5G +” formed by 5G MBB devices,” said Luo Wei, vice president of ZTE Corporation, GM of Product Center, ZTE Devices. “The 4th Gen of the ZTE 5G FWA & MBB family will bring a more cutting-edge 5G experience to corporations and consumers worldwide via remarkable technological innovation, which will make technological life more accessible in future. ”
