"Integrated Software and Hardware" Products of P5G and Edge Intelligence Debut at the International Stage


The Private 5G Network product of AsiaInfo is an integrated software and hardware product set, including 5G base station, 5G core network, 5G edge computing platform, private network intelligent connection product, 5G CPE, and private 5G network operation platform. With this product set, AsiaInfo provides multi-scenario solutions for private 5G networks for vertical industries, as well as "end-to-end" full-stack services such as planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and integration of private 5G networks. This product system has obtained a network access license from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China. AsiaInfo has been recognized by Omdia as a mainstream supplier of end-to-end private 5G networks (wireless + core networks) globally. Its 5G core network has passed compatibility testing of State Cloud and AWS Amazon Cloud, and has been launched for sale. The private 5G network base station won the French Design Award, and a benchmark case of the private 5G network product system won the first prize in the 5th "Bloom Cup" 5G Application Competition. These products have been widely applied in fields such as nuclear power, wind power, mining, and chemical engineering, helping customers accelerate digital transformation and innovation through 5G.

Relying on its AI, IoT, and cloud computing + network + edge computing + terminal software technologies, AsiaInfo has integrated hardware devices such as cameras, access control systems, gateways, and edge computing into an edge intelligence product system with integrated hardware and software. This system implements the perception, acquisition, analysis, and application of various kinds of information from various business scenarios across different industries, including "people, environment, and equipment". It promptly identifies potential safety hazards in the production and operation processes of enterprises, assisting customers in reducing safety risks, improving work efficiency, and lowering management costs. This product is widely used in various scenarios, including work safety on construction sites, campus security, community management, factory/park supervision, IDC room monitoring, and IT O&M inspections. The Edge Intelligence products of AsiaInfo have been certified by China Compulsory Certification, China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS), and China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT). They have been awarded many honors such as China Excellent Software Product, Gold Award of French Design Award, and Edge Computing Solution Award.

Conveying AsiaInfo's 5/6G View to the World


On the 24th, Dr. Ouyang Ye was invited to the 39th GTI workshop (GTI: Global TD-LTE Initiative) and delivered a keynote speech titled User Experience Matters: Leverage Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning based Massive MIMO for 5G QoE Optimization. He stated that the autonomous development of global wireless network optimization is still in a low to medium stage and encounters five challenges, "insufficient automation methods, lack of refined data, poor traditional simulation effects, a mismatch between performance and experience, and inability to achieve experiential optimization". Therefore, AsiaInfo has proposed four key technologies, "multi-agent reinforcement learning, wireless network coverage simulation and prediction, precise positioning based on measurement reports, and network digital twins", to help global communication operators evolve their wireless networks towards autonomous intelligence at higher levels. He also introduced relevant cases and application effects of AsiaInfo's products.

On the 28th, Dr. Ouyang Ye was invited to the O-RAN Alliance Summit and delivered a keynote speech titled Leverage Collaborative Learning of Pre-Trained Large Model and Small Model for a AI Native O-RAN. He stated that the large model has started the era of AI native applications. Catering to O-RAN's intelligent evolution, AsiaInfo has proposed "AI Native O-RAN" based on the O-RAN standard architecture. This solution leverages five key technologies, "O-RAN Product Lifecycle Management, RIC-based Collaborative Learning of Large and Small Models, O-RAN Autonomous Intelligence, O-RAN Lossless Assurance, and Large and Small ModelOps". These technologies aim to enhance the level of automation and intelligence within O-RAN, exploring the path toward the realization of AI-Native 6G networks. 6.jpg
