First-of-Its-Kind Analysis Quantifies Effectiveness of TAG Programs and Impact in Strengthening Digital Ad Supply Chain

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TAG (Trustworthy Accountability Group), the global certification program to strengthen safety and transparency in digital advertising, today released its inaugural Impact and Compliance Report. The first-of-its-kind analysis quantified the effectiveness of TAG programs and their impact in strengthening the digital advertising supply chain for advertisers, agencies, publishers, and adtech providers.

“For nearly a decade, TAG has worked with companies across the industry to create a safer and more transparent digital advertising supply chain,” said Mike Zaneis, CEO of TAG. “This report shows the measurable impact of our efforts across our four mission areas, demonstrating in concrete metrics how TAG’s programs, tools, and community have safeguarded both companies and consumers from bad actors while improving the quality and transparency of the broader ecosystem.”

Highlights from the report include:

TAG’s Global Reach

TAG Members span 43 countries worldwide.226 companies held at least one TAG seal at the end of 2024.

Certified Against Fraud Program

The first financial impact analysis of the digital advertising industry’s anti-fraud programs — conducted in partnership with the 4A’s, ANA, and IAB — found those efforts resulted in $10.8 billion in ad fraud savings for U.S. advertisers in 2023.CAF continued to successfully maintain sub-1% invalid traffic (IVT) rates across TAG Certified Channels (TCC) globally, with U.S. rates holding them under that benchmark for the past four years and Europe for six.TAG’s Data Center IP (DCIP) List tool identified more than 104 million unique high-risk IP addresses in 2024.

Brand Safety Certified Program

TAG expanded its ongoing efforts to defund intellectual property criminals with the launch of a comprehensive pre-bid “Pirate Domain Exclusion List (PDEL), a threat intelligence tool that helps advertisers avoid exposure to pirate sites. The launch of the Keyword Exclusion List Toolset (KELT) created a baseline of best practices for brands and agencies to maintain an effective keyword list. By simplifying and standardizing the approach, brands and agencies can expand the range of brand-suitable content, increase user engagement, and reduce unnecessary blocking that reduced ad revenue in the past.

Certified Against Malware Program

TAG continued to raise the industry’s already-high standards against malvertising by expanding the core criteria necessary for vendors to be recognized with the TAG Certified Against Malware Seal for effective anti-malvertising services.TAG released its Malvertising Taxonomy v2 in April 2024 with considerable updates to both the guiding principles and the examples of malvertising events included and described. The Taxonomy also included new subcategories and additional malvertising techniques, including steganography, browser extensions and hijackers, click-jacking, SEO poisoning, exploit kits and more.

Certified for Transparency

TAG TrustNet now provides campaign data insights for more than 40 brands, thanks in part to increased access to log-level data.ANA’s most recent benchmark report highlighted a 22% increase in ad spend productivity since its 2023 programmatic transparency study was released. Within the context of a $104 billion open web programmatic marketplace, the increase represents an additional $8.2 billion in ad spend productivity.

Threat-Sharing

In 2024, TAG’s AdSec Threat Exchange increased in threat-sharing activity to combat malvertising attacks by 40% over the prior year.TAG’s threat-sharing community has now grown to include practitioners from 11 countries spanning 7 time zones and providing 21.5 hours of human coverage in a typical day. 

In addition, the report provided an update on TAG’s compliance framework and process. TAGs Due Process for Non-Compliance and Appeal guidelines are a critical feature of TAG certification programs. The Due Process governs investigations of instances of non-compliance by a TAG certified member, as well as the consequences for findings of non-compliance.

During 2024, together with TAG’s Leadership Council and industry partners, TAG streamlined and enhanced the Due Process guidelines to strengthen TAG’s non-compliance investigation and response enforcement, while continuing to provide members with opportunities for remediation and appeal. Companies found to be not in compliance with TAG certification requirements may lose their ability to be certified for between six months and five years.

“For the first time, we have a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of how TAG’s programs protect advertisers, publishers, and consumers from fraud, malvertising, and brand safety risks,” said Rachel Nyswander Thomas, COO of TAG. “The insights in this report demonstrate the power of TAG’s certification, compliance and intelligence tools, and threat-sharing forums, while also providing a roadmap for future enhancements. As we move forward, we will continue working with our partners around the globe to set even higher standards and drive greater accountability across the industry.”

Expanding Next-Generation Network Capabilities and Accelerating the Innovative Convergence of Communication, Computing, and AI Laying a Solid Foundation for 6G Development in Hong Kong

HONG KONG, Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — China Mobile Hong Kong Company Limited (“China Mobile Hong Kong”) announced that it has taken the lead in realising a U6GHz network, successfully completing network testing and validation at its Mong Kok flagship store and advancing the exploration of Upper 6GHz band applications in mobile networks. Implementing China Mobile Group’s strategy of “strengthening the network foundation and full-stack innovation”, China Mobile Hong Kong aims to enhance network capabilities through new frequency band applications, drive collaborative innovation between terminals and the wider industry, and lay a robust foundation for Hong Kong’s future 6G development.

Strategic Early Deployment of New Spectrum to Build Momentum for a 6G Future
U6GHz, or the Upper 6GHz band, can provide continuous wide bandwidth and is a crucial spectrum resource supporting 5G-A and future 6G evolution. On 29 November 2024, Hong Kong completed its 6/7GHz spectrum auction, becoming the first region globally to auction this frequency band for public mobile services.

Expanding Network Capacity to Enable Smoother Smart Applications
The newly added U6GHz spectrum can be utilised synergistically with existing frequency bands. Through various combinations with current spectrums, it can achieve download speeds of 3Gbps. The increased availability of spectrum helps enhance data transmission capabilities, accommodating more simultaneous user connections, improving the internet experience in highly congested areas, and supporting high-definition video and large-capacity data transmission.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into production and daily life, the demand for data transmission from devices such as smart glasses and AI robots continues to rise. China Mobile Hong Kong will promote the synergistic development of U6GHz and intelligent computing services, enhance connectivity between terminals and intelligent computing platforms, and explore AI image analysis, immersive interactions, and industrial applications. This will allow smart services to better integrate into everyday life and corporate operations.

Aligning with Mainland China and Hong Kong Blueprints to Consolidate the Foundation of Digital-Intelligent Development
China Mobile Hong Kong will actively align with the Nation’s “15th Five-Year Plan” and Hong Kong’s first Five-Year Plan. Focusing on “AI+”, computing infrastructure, and new industrialisation, the company will enhance communication and smart services through network upgrades to assist Hong Kong in building an international innovation and technology centre. Concurrently, China Mobile Hong Kong will collaborate with industry partners to accelerate the research, development, and testing of U6GHz products. By expanding hotspot coverage according to demand, it aims to drive the maturity of the industrial ecosystem and accelerate Hong Kong’s 6G development. Looking ahead, China Mobile Hong Kong will continue to leverage its strengths as a central state-owned enterprise, providing high-quality digital infrastructure to serve Hong Kong and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, thereby fully contributing to the building of a cyber superpower and a digital China.

JinkoSolar Unveils Tiger Neo 5.0 All-Black Residential Solar Module with 25.52% Efficiency

Published

October 17, 2026

By

SHANGRAO, China, Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (“JinkoSolar” or the “Company”) (NYSE: JKS), today unveiled Tiger Neo 5.0, an all-black residential solar module built on its all-new TAC technology. The first version to reach the market, an all-black 48-cell module, delivers a maximum power output of 510 W with a module efficiency of 25.52%. It was designed to redefine the upper limits of what a scenario-specific module can deliver in both appearance and efficiency for premium homes and other architecturally refined residences.

The module showcases a deeper, more uniform and more refined black appearance than conventional back-contact (BC) modules. Semiconductor-grade low- and high-temperature processes bring the power temperature coefficient down to -0.24%/℃, meaning stronger energy yield in high-temperature environments.

TAC technology combines the excellent carrier transport of TOPCon with the low-temperature processing and positive electrode passivation of HJT, pushing peak cell efficiency to 28%, approaching the theoretical limit of monocrystalline silicon cells. Together with a zero-gap cell layout and hidden-ribbon technology at module level, the module achieves an efficiency of 25.52%. Compared with conventional BC products, it delivers approximately 30 W more power, and a lower temperature coefficient. Its deeper, more premium black appearance blends seamlessly into residential rooftops— especially dark-colored ones — making it a standout in the residential module category for both power and aesthetics.

“Our vision for Tiger Neo 5.0 was to develop a panel tailored to premium residential rooftops. It pushes the boundaries of both performance and aesthetics with innovations in cell technology, passivation processes, structural design, module format and interconnections. With this launch, we aim to help move the industry toward solutions tailored to specific applications,” said Charlie Cao, CEO of Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.
