C114 News on October 20th (Gao Juan) The 2020 China International Information and Communication Exhibition with the theme of "Internet integration of all things, wisdom to the future" was held at the Beijing National Convention Center.

This is the first time that Inspur has appeared in a new identity, closely following the theme of the "5G Innovation and Development" exhibition, establishing Inspur's image as a new generation of cloud-network integration 5G products and service providers, and demonstrating Inspur's profound experience in the field of communication and Practice and achievements in IT/CT/DT and multi-industry fields, as a new force of 5G, drive innovation and development.

It is reported that Inspur booth includes 5 sections of "1+4". "1" refers to the overall capability of Inspur as a new-generation cloud-network integrated 5G product and service provider, "4" refers to the overall capability for 5G, namely: 5G network products, 5G smart operations, 5G demonstration applications, Inspur Cloud numeracy.

During the exhibition, Lin Wei, vice president of Inspur Group, said in an interview with c114 that entering a new era of 5G cloud-network integration, as a new CT manufacturer, Inspur must provide cost-effective products, promote network opening, and connect 5G with the industry. Inspur will not only solve the "last mile" problem of 5G through three major advantages, but will also further stimulate the value of 5G with the help of powerful "cloud + data + AI" base capabilities.

Three advantages to solve the 5G "last mile" problem

Lin Wei said that from the current point of view, the trend of digital transformation in the industry is unstoppable. Cloud, big data, and AI have become very important technical components in the digital transformation of the industry. Due to the characteristics of large connections, low latency, and high bandwidth, 5G determines that 5G is responsible for the "last mile" connection of the industry's digital transformation. 5G represents a new height of CT development. Network and computing must be deeply integrated. Inspur will also leverage its existing advantages in cloud computing and big data to create the most cost-effective 5G network products.

Lin Wei pointed out that one of the most important assistants for industry-oriented network products is the base station. Every industry customer has the need to build a 5G exclusive network in the process of transformation. According to the survey data, there are currently about 15 million enterprises that have a desire to build a private network, and a private network requires dozens to hundreds of base stations. Therefore, to solve the network requirements of the "last mile", the existence of 5G small station products is inevitable.

5G is oriented to thousands of industries, and 5G small station products must also be deeply integrated with the industry. Inspur's 5G base station products are all based on cloud architecture, and are deeply integrated with edge computing. Through the integrated products of deep integration of network and computing, they are delivered to industry customers to meet the diversified and customized needs of industry users.

In Lin Wei's view, there are still many challenges for 5G small stations. "In terms of the overall performance of a single station, there is still a big gap between 5G small stations and 5G base stations. With the continuous development, extension and innovation of 5G small station technology, the business logic of some 5G base stations will be solidified into On the Universal Application Chain.”

In order to solve the "last mile" problem of 5G, Inspur also "overweighted" and launched iRAN series products of Yunyi wireless network base station. This series of products are 5G extended base station products, including: baseband unit iBBU, extension unit iEU and radio frequency unit iRRU. Lin Wei told c114, "Inspur has three advantages as a 5G small station."

The first is the advantage of technological innovation. "The core of Inspur's 5G products is cloud native. Cloud is a common thing for the Internet, but it is still a process of gradual understanding for CT. Based on cloud native architecture, it can support dynamic collaborative orchestration of network capabilities and capability expansion. Lin Wei pointed out that Inspur has a high starting point in terms of cloud native, which can greatly reduce the technical threshold for 5G to enter the industry.

The second advantage is the supply chain advantage. The 5G small station is developed based on general-purpose hardware. Inspur itself has rich experience and strong supply chain on general-purpose hardware, and has inherent advantages. In the next step, through general acceleration, Inspur has a very good accumulation of technologies and products at the computing level, and has a 50% domestic market share at the general level. Based on the advantages of the product, this intelligent capability can be integrated into the 5G small station.

The third advantage is that Inspur has rich industry application practices and is deeply integrated with the industry to create 5G base station products that are more suitable for industry customers. In addition to making IT equipment, Inspur is also deeply involved in the construction of digital applications in various industries, and has more than 20 years of industry experience in the field of communications. In addition to the small station, Inspur Yunyi 5G series products are designed with cloud native, open, integrated and intelligent as the design concept. The flexible combination of six categories of products can meet the needs of various application scenarios of edge computing and 5G networks for industry customers.

Powerful "cloud + data + AI" base capability stimulates 5G value

The greatest value of 5G lies in thousands of industries. Now there is a point of view that from the current development point of view, the industry value of 5G has not been brought into play. In Lin Wei's view, the challenges faced by 5G are an objective reality. The fundamental reason why the industry value of 5G is not obvious is still determined by the technical characteristics.

"The development of any technology is cyclical. Unlike previous generations of mobile communication technologies, 5G networks mainly face the industry, and are different from the original ones that mainly face individual users. At the same time, 5G networks are commercialized, operated and maintained. It will take time for the service to mature, so it is difficult to meet the individual needs of industry customers.”

At the same time, in order to meet the digital needs of the industry, strong general network capabilities are essential. "5G has changed the industry, and the characteristics of the industry are very different. In particular, different companies have different tactics and tactics, which determine its digitalization in the entire industry, whether it is the platform or the characteristics of personalized operating costs." Lin Wei pointed out, As an IT cross-industry manufacturer, Inspur's powerful network capabilities can meet the differentiated demands of the industry, and our model is to satisfy the demands of all walks of life from the bottom up.

"Value depends on input and output." Lin Wei said that if input and output form a positive effect, industry customers will definitely have a better recognition of the value of 5G. For today's 5G customers in the industry, regardless of the acquisition cost and the use cost, how to reduce the cost of 5G is also a very important point to promote the value of 5G.

In response to the above, Inspur, as a new entrant, will continue to help the real realization of 5G value through technological innovation, through systematic products, cloud, data, AI collaboration, industry practice and ecological collaboration.

In the 5G field, Inspur has a long-term and in-depth layout. Based on breakthroughs in key technologies, Inspur has formed systematic products, and has developed comprehensive capabilities in cloud data intelligence, industry capabilities, cloud-based architecture and NFV capabilities, operator markets, and ecological construction. On the one hand, Inspur has formed a rich "capability set" and is ready to empower the 5G era.

When talking about how Inspur will further expand the 5G ecological territory, Lin Wei pointed out that applications and innovations must not be found, but must emerge from the germination of seeds in the soil. "The seeds can burst out new power, and the joint efforts of the industry must be required. In the 5G era, Inspur's focus is mainly on edge computing and industry-oriented 5G networks. These two points are also the most important starting points for 5G to empower the industry. The hardware + platform is a systematic product that integrates 5G to create a ubiquitous intelligent connection for cloud-edge-device collaboration to meet the application needs of different industry scenarios."

Inspur's powerful cloud + data + AI base capabilities can work with industry customers to speed up the use of new technologies, lower the technical threshold for using 5G, promote application innovation, maximize the digital transformation of the industry, and contribute new power to the development of the digital economy.
