517 World Telecommunication Day Conference is about to open: three highlights to boost 5G

The "2019 World Telecommunication and Information Society Day Conference" guided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, hosted by the China Institute of Communications, and organized by Xintong Media and Baizhuo Network will be held at the New Century Nikko Hotel in Beijing from May 16 to 17, 2019. This conference is grand in scale, with multiple sub-forums on edge computing, 5G bearer, Internet of Things, terminals, etc. around the pre-commercial use of 5G. It will focus on hot topics such as 5G network construction and 5G commercial use, and interpret the key development of the ICT field in 2019-2020.

The conference will invite regulatory authorities, industry associations, research institutions, basic operators, equipment manufacturers, chip terminal manufacturers, Internet of Things manufacturers, cloud computing manufacturers, power industry representatives, etc. to gather together to discuss the industry plan of narrowing the standardization gap and promoting industry development around the theme of World Telecommunication and Information Society Day 2019, "bridging the standardization gap".

In addition to the main venue of the conference in Beijing, local communications associations will also hold a series of celebration activities simultaneously in their local areas.

Industrial development starts with standards. Standards are the crystallization of technological innovation and the foundation for accelerating industrial development. Standard unification promotes the formation of consensus in the industry, which is then transformed into industrial results and further commercialized. "Whoever has the standard wins the world." Standards are also a kind of game rule. Whoever's technology becomes the standard will have the initiative in the competition. Because of this, competition in the field of standards continues.

As the official event of the May 17 World Telecommunication and Information Society Day, this conference has the following three highlights.

Highlight 1: A strong lineup of guests responding to the theme of Telecom Day

The International Telecommunication Union has set the theme of World Telecommunication and Information Society Day 2019 as "Bridging the Standardization Gap". The China Institute of Communications has actively responded to the theme of World Telecommunication and Information Society Day 2019 and set the theme of the conference as "Bridging the Standardization Gap", hoping to contribute to narrowing the standardization gap in the global information and communication field through the convening of the conference.

At the same time, at the main forum and various sub-forums, guests from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, the three major operators, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, well-known ICT industry chain companies, energy/medical and other vertical fields will also share with participants the key to ICT development in the 5G pre-commercial era.

Highlight 2: Combining 5G hot content with high-end cutting-edge

In addition to standardization, 5G is also an important part of this conference. At present, 5G standards are about to mature and the commercialization curtain has been opened. The theme of the conference is set as "Narrowing the Standardization Gap", while focusing on 5G content. It not only actively responds to the theme of World Telecommunication and Information Society Day 2019, but also combines the current hot topic of 5G. It can be said to be a perfect match and timely.

Highlight 3: The sub-forums are rich in content and the exhibition area is brilliant

Driven by policies and industries, 2019 will be a year of rapid development for 5G. In 2019, 5G is expected to be implemented in advanced fields such as transportation, energy, electricity, video entertainment, medical care, agriculture, finance, education, smart cities, and industry. The entire industry should seize the opportunities of the times and promote the accelerated development of my country's 5G industry. To this end, a number of special theme sub-forums will be held during the conference.

Innovation Promotes Industrial Upgrading Summit Forum

Outside the venue, the organizer will also set up an exhibition area and invite equipment manufacturers, terminal chip manufacturers, solution providers, etc. to exhibit and display standardization, 5G, terminals, 5G bearer solutions, and the application of edge computing in vertical industries. Various high-end cutting-edge black technologies and real-time interactive cool application experiences will bring the audience into the wonderful era of the Internet of Everything in advance.

As a promoter of industry development, the China Institute of Communications hopes to build a bridge for colleagues from all walks of life in the industry, integrate the strength of all parties, and join hands. I believe that under the leadership of government departments and with the joint participation and support of all sectors of society, the "2019 World Telecommunication and Information Society Day Conference" will bring you different excitement, so stay tuned.
