George Glass, CTO of TM Forum, stated during the ceremony: "We are thrilled to establish this strategic partnership with the NIDA Alliance. NIDA possesses profound insights and rich ecosystem resources in promoting digital innovation and application within the industry. Through this collaboration, we will combine TM Forum's global frameworks and best practices with NIDA's industry expertise to accelerate the deployment of interoperable and scalable digital services, jointly addressing common challenges faced by the sector."Deng Yiou, Secretary-General of the NIDA , commented: "The cooperation with TM Forum signifies our commitment to promoting unified, open industry standards on a broader international stage. We believe that by leveraging TM Forum's international influence and standards development capabilities, alongside NIDA's deep understanding of the industry market, this partnership will accelerate the empowerment of networks by agent applications, effectively enhance enterprise network automation levels, reduce the complexity of enterprise digital and intelligent transformation, and deliver tangible value to our members."This powerful alliance between the NIDA Alliance and TM Forum will not only foster connectivity and cooperation within the enterprise digital ecosystem but also provide robust standards support and capability certification for numerous enterprises seeking digital upgrade, injecting new momentum into the industry's advancement towards high-level L4 Autonomous Networks.About TM ForumTM Forum is a global industry association that empowers communication and digital service providers to thrive through complex digital transformation. It provides industry-recognized standards and best practices, such as Open APIs and the Open Digital Architecture(ODA); continuously publishes industry benchmark reports, trend forecasts, and best practice guides; enables members to collaboratively rapidly prototype and solve pressing business challenges through participation in Catalyst innovation projects; and offers training, certification, and talent development frameworks to cultivate future digital talent.About NIDA AllianceThe Network Innovation and Development Alliance (NIDA) is an international, industry-based, non-profit social organization voluntarily formed by industry institutions, universities, research institutes, and companies worldwide. It focuses on promoting fixed network technology innovation and industrial upgrade. NIDA aims to build global industry consensus, create an international industry-academia-research-application ecosystem, drive fixed network technology innovation, and promote the sustainable development of the fixed network industry.

Currently, AI is driving digital intelligence upgrades in various industries, and campus network requirements are fundamentally changing. The network has changed from simply connecting people to connecting IoT devices and environment elements, and has been upgraded from traditional "communication transmission" to "intelligent awareness".At the 3rd Network Innovation and Development Conference hosted by the Global Fixed Network Innovation Alliance (NIDA), Zhao Shaoqi, president of the campus network domain of Huawei Data Communication Product Line, proposed the concept of "Wi-Fi + X". Wi-Fi APs (access points) integrate IoT, awareness, and security capabilities, providing new impetus for the digital transformation of campuses in various industries, which coincides with the wireless intelligent awareness initiative of NIDA.In the "Wi-Fi + X" concept, "X" contains two layers of deep thinking about the future of campus networks. Technology capability convergence is the foundation, that is, convergence of IoT and perception capabilities based on Wi-Fi communication capabilities. This means that future Wi-Fi networks will have high-speed wireless connectivity, Internet of Everything (IoT) access through multiple IoT protocols, and intelligent sensing capabilities based on CSI and millimeter wave. This convergence is no longer simple function overlay, but in-depth integration of "All in AP". Unlimited scenario expansion is the second layer meaning, that is, Wi-Fi is the anchor point to enable various scenarios and applications in a wide variety of industries. Just as smartphones have penetrated every aspect of life and work, Wi-Fi application scenarios will be extended infinitely, becoming a source of imagination and creativity, driving campus network service boundary expansion and value transition.Ms. Li Hongpeng, member of the Strategic Advisory Committee of NIDA and Secretary-General of the Engineering Intelligent Design Branch of China Survey and Design Association, stressed that unified standards and industry collaboration are essential to campus network construction and industry application implementation. Therefore, to implement complex connections of people, things, and scenarios in the campus and support the construction of an efficient smart campus platform, cooperation between upstream and downstream industries and other industry practitioners is required.As the integration of the digital and physical worlds continues to deepen, the intelligent awareness industry ecosystem will improve the efficiency and security of industry campus operations, accelerate the implementation of industry applications, and reap more fruitful results from digital transformation in the future. To this end, NIDA welcomes all ecosystem partners to jointly build a wireless intelligent awareness industry ecosystem and provide better solutions for industry customers.
