Mr. Zhang Xin, the General Manager of 5G Network Development and Sharing Department of China Telecom, Mr. Margherita Fulvio, Head of Radio from Wind Tre, Mr. Mario Paier, Head of Network Strategy and Technology from Hutchison Drei Austria, Peter Jarich, Head of the GSMA Intelligence, Mr. Bai Gang, the VP of ZTE corporation, Madam Tang Xue, the Vice GM of RAN product line and Jason Tu, ZTE’s principle scientist of SDN/NFV solution have participated the forum and shared the 5G SA industry progress, success experience and the evolution of 5G.

As 5G SA has been widely deployed in China, SA network has shown its value in both enhancing user experience and enabling digital transformation of various industries.

Mr. Zhang Xin shared the success experience of RAN sharing by 5G SA&NSA, and pointed out a high-quality 5G network with an average 5G downlink throughput of 1G bps in big cities cannot do without continuous technical innovations. China Telecom and China Unicom’s 5G networks adopted dynamic DSS, iCell, leading energy saving solution and 3D coverage solution, etc., all of these played a key role in achieving ultimate experience and empowering the industries.

Mr. Mario Paier reviewed the development of Hutchison Drei Austria 5G network, and how it grows from the field trial to the industrial 4.0 area research based on SA network. ZTE’s wireless and core network equipment solutions play a key role in this journey.

Most of the carriers expect to increase their revenue through 5G enterprise markets,  and SA is what they’re looking for.

Mr. Peter Jarich mentioned in his speech?that SA is at the top of the priority list. 35% operators are actively investing or committed to it and they start to deploy SA networks. The industry have now arrived, not just in the 5G era, but very close to be in the SA 5G era.

In cooperation with global carriers to develop 5G, ZTE has come up with new ideas and solutions to enhance the value of SA.

Mr. Bai Gang brings about the idea of driving 5G SA forward with ZTE “3E” vision, extension of network capabilities, enhancement of network performance and efficiency of resource utilization, will help 5G evolution develop towards a more promising future for all of consumers, industries and operators.

Madam Tang Xue gave a detailed introduction to ZTE Radio Composer, which is the industry’s first intelligent orchestration radio network solution. Generally speaking, the Radio Composer can be compared with an intelligent urban traffic system, including multiple roadways such as the bus lane, the fast traffic lane and the truck lane. User orchestration features the function of guiding individual vehicles into their right lane, while the network orchestration adjusts the number of different lanes provided and the direction of the lanes in a certain time period according to the overall traffic situation.

In Jason Tu’s speech, he mentioned ZTE’s “All-in-One 5G Private Network” solution, which has diversified product forms, including “standard cloud-network dual cabinets”, “compact cloud-network cabinet”, and “single server i5GC”. The solution provides a new business model for operators to explore the ToB market through network as a service (NaaS).

Moving forward, ZTE will cooperate with operators to take the innovative 5G solutions into practice, and continue to explore 5G technologies to achieve a brilliant future!

      The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, today (April 20) attended the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2021 in Hainan and held a number of bilateral meetings.
 
     Mrs Lam attended the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2021 in the morning. The theme of this year’s conference is “A World in Change: Join Hands to Strengthen Global Governance and Advance Belt and Road Cooperation”. President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech with the theme of “Pulling Together Through Adversity and Toward a Shared Future for All” via video at the opening ceremony, while Vice President Wang Qishan attended in person.
 
     In the afternoon, Mrs Lam attended the session “Invigorate Development through Vibrant City Clusters: The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) as a Model” to discuss with participating guests topics including how the GBA can draw on the development experiences of various city clusters around the world, construct a focused area of global innovation and technology (I&T) and emerging industries, and attract talents. She pointed out in her remarks that Hong Kong has unique advantages under “One Country, Two Systems” and is a highly market-oriented and international economy underpinned by the rule of law, which can complement the advantages of the GBA cities to create synergy. On I&T development in particular, Hong Kong has top-notch capabilities in basic scientific research, and, coupled with the advanced manufacturing technology of the GBA cities in the Mainland, Hong Kong can promote the development of an international I&T hub in the GBA together with other cities. Hong Kong can also serve as a talent base in the GBA, leveraging its metropolitan status and attractiveness to entice overseas talents to work in the GBA, thereby enhancing the flow of talents.
 
     Mrs Lam also attended the Women Roundtable with women’s power and social responsibility as the theme to discuss with outstanding women leaders from around the world how women can take up social responsibility in a better way and participate in economic activities more proactively in the post-pandemic era. Mrs Lam said that whether in Hong Kong or in other places of the world, many of the people who were involved in the fight against the virus in the past year or so were women, making remarkable contributions to public health. She pointed out that through the continued efforts of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, good progress has been made in the promotion of women’s development and rights. She said that the Government will continue to roll out appropriate support measures to unleash the female labour force, allowing women to give full play to their potential.
 
     Mrs Lam had a number of bilateral meetings. The Secretary for Innovation and Technology, Mr Alfred Sit, and the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Christopher Hui, also attended some of them.
 
     In the morning, Mrs Lam met with the Vice Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), Mr Fang Xinghai. Mrs Lam expressed her gratitude to the CSRC for its long-standing support for the financial development of Hong Kong, and said that Hong Kong will proactively integrate with the overall development of the nation. She also expressed the hope that, with the support of the CSRC, Hong Kong will fully leverage its advantages as an international financial centre to contribute to the country’s economic reform and opening up in the financial area.
 
     Mrs Lam also met with the Chairman of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC), Mr Hao Peng. She thanked the SASAC for its staunch support for the HKSAR Government for its work to promote the Belt and Road Initiative, including the Belt and Road Summit held every year in Hong Kong and the high-level roundtable conducted earlier this year, promoting exchanges and co-operation between state-owned enterprises and Hong Kong’s business and professional services sector to take part in projects of the Belt and Road Initiative. She said that the HKSAR Government will seize the opportunities brought about by the Belt and Road Initiative and continue to give full play to the city’s advantages to serve as a vital connection platform under the country’s “dual circulation” strategy.
 
     At a meeting with the President of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Mr Jin Liqun, Mrs Lam expressed her gratitude to him for being the keynote speaker of the 14th Asian Financial Forum held in Hong Kong in January this year and congratulated the AIIB for completing its first five years of operation, enabling it to move from the stage of building up to that of expansion. She said that the HKSAR will continue to give unwavering support for the operations of the AIIB including project financing, bond issuance, investment, financial management and foreign exchange management, and will actively participate in the development of the AIIB at its next stage.
 
     Mrs Lam also met with the Secretary of the CPC Hainan Provincial Committee, Mr Shen Xiaoming, yesterday (April 19) and will meet with the Governor of Hainan Province, Mr Feng Fei, later today. She told Mr Shen that she was very pleased to travel to Hainan in person this year to participate in the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference. Noting that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Boao Forum for Asia, she wished Hainan Province’s forum this year a great success. Mrs Lam pointed out that Hainan Province is an important gateway at the forefront of China’s new opening-up era. She said that Hong Kong has all along been externally oriented with a free trade policy and a legal system in line with international standards and that the two places can work together to help Hainan enterprises “go global”.
 
     In addition to attending the events of the Annual Conference and holding bilateral meetings in the past two days, Mrs Lam also gave interviews to a number of Hong Kong, Mainland and international media organisations. She will conclude her visit to Hainan tomorrow (April 21).
