The sudden epidemic has highlighted the power of information technology, and new infrastructure has brought new development opportunities to the industry. Shuping He, Vice General Manager of China Information and Communication Technology Group (hereinafter referred to "CICT"), stated on the "Smart Optical Network 2020•online Forum" today that with the trust and support of the country, customers, partners and employees, CICT will continue to maintain a firm strategic determination, further accelerate the innovation of core and key technologies, and promote the development of the entire industry.
2020 is an extraordinary year. He explained that in the first half of the year, affected by the COVID-19, China's economic growth, corporate development, and people's lives and work have all faced many severe challenges. However, at the same time, new information and communication methods such as telecommuting, telemedicine, and online education have experienced explosive growth. The power of information technology has played a huge and active role in the battlefront of anti-epidemic and the resumption of production in various industries. The epidemic crisis is further driven by the information infrastructure capabilities represented by the cloud and the network have been enhanced.
In March this year, the government formally proposed to accelerate the construction of new infrastructure represented by 5G. "New infrastructure" is a major strategic deployment of the country. Information infrastructure such as 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, and industrial network deeply reflects the characteristics of "digital infrastructure" and will become the cornerstone supporting the development of the digital economy and promote China's economic transformation and upgrading. Pressing the accelerator button for new infrastructure will also bring a new round of information infrastructure construction to the peak, which is a major benefit for the industry.
Shuping He shared that during the epidemic, CICT gave full play to its advantages in information and communication, fully supported the construction of communication networks in Huoshenshan Hospital, Leishenshan Hospital, and Modular Hospital, and made full use of 5G, big data, cloud computing, group informatization and other technologies, undertaking the construction of the "Hubei Province Health Code" network platform and the epidemic prevention and control system platform of various regions across the country, and deeply assist the city and the province and the city management during the epidemic period. In the field of 5G new infrastructure, CICT has increased the innovation of optoelectronic technology, and has made good technological and market progress in silicon optical chips, data communication chips, and slicing chips. It has undertaken more than 100 5G bearer networks for domestic operators.
"Information and communication technology is a new type of infrastructure for the digital economy, and optical networks are the cornerstone of information and communication." He pointed out that on the basis of continuous breakthroughs in traditional optical network triple-super technology, CICT started from the success of its customers and continued to improve the experience of the end user, explore the construction and service of the smart optical network with customers. From the western plateau to the eastern coast, from the northern forests to the southern islands, CICT’s optical network has assisted operators to serve more than 700 million users; in the operators, power, radio and television, network and other industries field, based on differentiated services and competitiveness demand, CICT provides in-depth customized product development and network construction for thousands of industries.
"In 2020, when challenges and opportunities coexist, CICT adheres to the concept of openness and cooperation, and is willing to work with the industry to strengthen the depth and breadth of cooperation, share development opportunities, accelerate technological innovation, liberate network value, and achieve commercial success. "At the end of the speech, Shuping He said.
