[noise] yeah. So.

Mr. Chang can you answer that question.

Speaker 3: Yeah, so for international business, we can see that from the DAT, we can see the first quarter of years 2022. We can see the data is recovery, so DAT is increased.

Yeah, Yeah, yeah for for installation of basically we believe that we can see that from the T. E. T. We can see are not the first quarter of year 2022, we can see the data.

Recovery, So C a T.

Increase so let's the data the data performance from our side, we know the only.

Speaker 3: So let's, the data performance from our point that side.

Speaker 3: We not only have the normal cloud-the-scenes solution, now we have a high-con solution. High-con means that we can provide much better experience for multi-network handover from the more than 10 seconds and now can go to the minute second.

The yeah, the normal our normal how does seem solution now we have a.

Solution, how come you isn't that a we can provide much better even though it's purely just the full Monty network, a hand or from the monetize second now can go to in a minute second that's the one wound up a bunch of new product news situation and nowadays will find the chi.

Speaker 3: That's one of the new product and new service. Another is 5G. We provide 5G product. So we are now really few when almost it's the only one when the full can provide a global 5G network longings.

We provided our five key product. So we are not noteworthy fewer winter almost is the only one vendor who can provide a global five key network looming. So because of all of our five key product waste are almost all are all not all countries are five she'd redo ban.

Speaker 3: So because our 5G product with almost all countries 5G redo band and also 5G, you know, long link capability, let's wear it where in the industry.

And also you know roaming capability are less worried where in the industry. So all these preparation.

Speaker 3: So all these preparation is let us in a good position for, you know, recovery after COVID-19 after COVID-19. So I think we are in a good position.

Net to us in a good position well you know recap.

You know a recovery of the Covid.

COVID-19 after COVID-19, so I think we are in a good position.

Okay, Okay I see.

Speaker 5: So my second question is regarding the COVID-19 impact. Because we've seen some Chinese cities like Shenzhen reopening in the second quarter after the lockdown, but there are some controls may still be in place in the cities.

So my question is regarding the COVID-19 impact cause a big thing some Chinese cities like Shenzhen. They open you the stats on the career after the lockdown.

There are some still some controls nice there'll be UK cities. So do you think there will be some recovery in revenues from sales of products in the second quarter or those countries will continue to affect your lounge wear and manufacturing of five cheaper that's giving us your name.

Speaker 5: So do you think there will be some recovery in revenue from sales of products in the second quarter? Or will those controls continue to affect your launch and manufacturing of 5G products given that your main manufacturers are based in Guangdong, China?

And in fact, you're facing Guangdong China.

Speaker 3: Yes, it is impact in the first quarter, especially both the Sun Zhen and Xianghai, because this supply chain, not part of our supply chain, is in base in the Sun Zhen, and some part of our partner is base in Xianghai. It is impact by the lockdown of the New Zealand COVID-19 in China. But I think we can see that in Guangdong, it's early recovery. I think the second quarter, it's no any problem from the Cullen scenario.

Yeah, Yes. It is the impact in the fourth quarter, especially posted Sunshine Sunshine's Shanghai because.

These supply chain not a part of our supply chain is in basically in the Simpson and some part of all our partners, especially in Shanghai. It is impacted by the lockdown of the field in a COVID-19 in China.

We can see that E are in Guangdong is a rate recovery I think the second quarter.

There's no any preopening, a throne of calling a calling.

You know a scenario.

Speaker 3: Also, we have also removed some of our supply chain from Shanghai to Shenzhen. So in the second quarter, we believe the impact from COVID-19 will be...

Oh, so we Oh sorry.

The mood is somehow a supply chain flow in Shanghai to Sunshine. So in the second quarter, we believe the impact on the COVID-19, a weird be almost almost disappear I seem to have Racine pad a quarter one quarter. Two we can see it's much much better so.

Speaker 3: almost disappear. I think the average impact by the quarter one. Quarter two we can see is much much better.

Speaker 3: So that's the one of the situation. Another is because our first quarter, our new device products delivery, it is in-pad because a lockdown in the first quarter for manufacturer. And also it comes because this quarter, the first quarter of the revenue and delivery, the source order is come from the last quarter, in the year quarter four.

Well, that's a one off.

Situation and not that I used to be culture first.

First quarter how are new.

A new device a proton delivery it is impact.

Because on a locked down at all in the first quarter for a manufacturer and also has come because I know this quarter in the first quarter, often on revenue and delivery and a source of order is come from the last quarter last quarter in the year end.

Fourth quarter fall quite twice as heavily impacted by the.

Speaker 3: KOTO for is a heavy impact by the, you know, all Michelin, wild blood COVID-19. So I think second quarter will be much better.

Oh me Corona well weapon in our COVID-19, so I think our second quarter will be much better.
