Surge Global, a digital consultancy specialising in developing technology products and digital systems for businesses, has launched Surge.apartments, an end-to-end apartment management platform designed for property developers, management committees, homeowner associations and property managers.
The platform aims to replace fragmented and largely manual processes still common across residential developments, including bank slips shared through email and messaging apps, paper-based visitor logbooks, manual facility reservations and complaints handled through phone calls and chat groups.
As part of the launch, property developers that sign up for Surge.apartments before 31 December 2026 will receive permanent access to the platform without setup or monthly software fees. Standard payment processing fees will continue to apply to card and LankaQR transactions.
Surge.apartments provides dedicated interfaces for residents, management teams and security personnel, enabling each group to manage relevant activities through a centralised digital platform.
Residents can pay management fees via card or LankaQR, upload bank transfer slips, reserve shared facilities, generate digital visitor passes and submit service requests directly from their mobile devices.
Management teams have access to a central console covering billing, arrears management, payment reconciliation, facility bookings and resident helpdesk requests. Security teams can verify digital gate passes while maintaining records of visitors and parcels.
The platform also provides real-time visibility of facility availability, helping prevent double bookings while automatically applying applicable charges to the relevant residential unit. Complaint tickets can include clearly defined service-level targets, providing greater transparency between residents and property management teams.
Commenting on the launch, Surge Global said the platform was developed to modernise the management experience in line with the increasingly digital nature of residential developments.
“We think the management experience should evolve alongside the buildings themselves,” the company said.
Huawei’s E-band Microwave RTN 3800 Secures 2026 iF Design and Red Dot Design Awards
Huawei’s E-band microwave product RTN 3800 has received both the 2026 iF Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award, recognising its innovative all-in-one design and high-performance capabilities.
The awards’ judging panels highlighted the RTN 3800 for its simplified site deployment, ultra-large 12.5 Gbps capacity and enhanced transmission reliability. These capabilities are designed to support more efficient 5G deployment while contributing to greater network stability.
The dual recognition further highlights Huawei’s position in product design and technological innovation within the global microwave communications industry.
The RTN 3800 is an E-band outdoor microwave system that integrates baseband and RF modules into a single unit, helping reduce installation space and simplify deployment. The solution has been widely adopted by telecommunications operators, with its high capacity and reliability among its key features.
The system offers a maximum capacity of 12.5 Gbps, compared with an average of around 10 Gbps for similar products. This increased capacity can reduce the cost per bit by up to 25%, supporting more cost-efficient network deployment.
The RTN 3800 has also undergone comprehensive upgrades in transmit power, adaptive modulation and adaptive channel bandwidth compared with Huawei’s previous E-band generation, enabling enhanced transmission reliability and network stability.
Jason Wang, President of Huawei Microwave Product Line, said the two awards recognise the product’s hardware design and performance.
“The iF Design Award and Red Dot Design Award are great industry recognition of RTN 3800’s hardware design. We will continue to push the boundaries of simple, aesthetic products with excellent performance,” he said.
