[Shenzhen, November 8, 2025] During the 3rd Network Innovation and Development Conference, city representatives from China and overseas, industry experts, and representatives from international organizations gathered to discuss the practical path, challenges, opportunities, and future vision of next-generation networks in pioneer city construction. This event brings together global intelligence to comprehensively showcase the achievements and future blueprints of new Internet pioneer cities, and inject powerful impetus into the digital transformation of global cities.Chen Gang, Director of Industrial Internet Division of Jiangsu Future Network Group, as a representative of the pioneer cities in China, analyzed the construction path of pioneer cities in China based on the practice of Nanjing. He pointed out that in the era of artificial intelligence, the demand for the construction of "computation, network, and data" has come into being, which is highly in line with the concept of "joint computing, joint data, joint intelligence, and networking" put forward by NIDA. Nanjing deployed computing infrastructure in Jiangbei New District and Yangzhou Yizheng, built a high-quality data system, and built a dedicated network plane to connect the intelligent computing center and general computing center, effectively supporting the implementation of emerging services. At the same time, Nanjing's explorations in high-speed data transmission optimization, trusted data space construction, and government agent applications effectively address the new challenges posed by the AI era to traditional network architecture.Adolfo Borrero, chairman of the Smart City Committee of AMIC, Spain, shared an overseas perspective. As the largest information and communications technology association in Spain, AMIC integrates 115,000 enterprise resources and has made remarkable achievements in network standardization, smart tourism, and energy efficiency. The standard 178102, led by the company, has become an ISO standard, promoting interoperability and bandwidth improvement in communications systems. He stressed that Spain has established a network of city associations, collaborated with partners in Latin America, focused on cutting-edge directions such as WiFi7 deployment and AI perception convergence, promoted smart city construction with financial guarantee and policy support, and paid attention to the importance of tourism and energy efficiency in smart city development. Its construction concept of "people-oriented and sustainable development" provides an important reference for global and cross-regional collaboration.During the roundtable discussion, guests from Uzbekistan, Egypt, Indonesia, Spain, and Kazakhstan had an in-depth exchange on "Challenges and Opportunities in the Construction of Next Generation Network Pioneer Cities".The participants generally agreed that the main challenges they faced included: Digital divide between urban and rural areas, network bandwidth and quality bottlenecks, shortage of high-end skilled personnel, stability and synergy of technical standards and policies, and uncertainty of return on investment. Denny Setiawan, representative of Indonesia, highlighted the twin challenges posed by the island's geography.On coping strategies, the participants stressed the importance of international cooperation and overall coordination. Ahemd Darwish, a former Egyptian minister, called on developed countries to strengthen cooperation with developing countries, while developing countries should participate more actively in international organizations and dialogues, and proposed solutions for AI agent applications and international talent flow. Ulugbek Azimov, the representative of Uzbekistan, stressed the importance of cross-country collaboration for network deployment. The value of collaboration was confirmed by the fact that the IPv6 penetration rate in Uzbekistan increased from less than 1% to 20%. Adolfo Borrero called for strengthening policy support and urging telecom operators to increase network investment. All parties agreed that sharing experience, collaboratively setting standards, and promoting talent flow and cultivation are key to meeting common challenges and grasping development opportunities.During the conference, the "Certificate of Next Generation Network Pioneer City Case" was presented to the representatives of cities and institutions that have made outstanding contributions to the construction of the next generation network pioneer city.

[Shanghai, China, July 27, 2025] At the AI + Network Enablement Enterprise Digital Intelligence Innovation and Development Forum, NIDA has jointly released the Technical White Paper on High-Quality 10GE AI Campus Network Construction (hereinafter referred to as the White Paper). As the world's first systematic technical specification for AI campus network construction, the White Paper defines the concept and connotation of high-quality 10GE AI campus network, proposes three architecture systems: application architecture, technical architecture, and physical architecture, and six dimensions of network quality assessment from A to F. In addition, the recommended network architecture and indicators are provided based on industries and scenarios. The release of the White Paper fills the gap in industry standards in the AI campus network construction field and marks the stage of AI campus network construction from "technical exploration" to "standard-led" development.Guo Xiaoyan, chief engineer of China Northeast Design and Research Institute and chairman of the NIDA Campus Network Working Group; Yang Tao, secretary-general of the WAA Alliance; Zhao Shaoqi, president of the campus network domain of Huawei Data Communication Product Line; Lu Xi, deputy secretary-general of the Intelligent Branch of China Survey and Design Association; Yuan Li, standard director of ZTE Corporation Quan and Chen Jie, chief engineer of China Academy of Information and Communications, attended the launch ceremony.Campuses become core carrier networks in the AI era, and upgrades are imminent.As the core carrier of global economic activities, the park carries more than 80% of GDP and more than 90% of innovation activities. Guo Xiaoyan, Chairman of the NIDA Campus Network Working Group, pointed out: "The AI era has higher requirements on campus networks. Network technologies are constantly evolving. Different industries and scenarios have different network construction architectures and recommended specifications. 10GE and Wi-Fi 7 form the infrastructure foundation of next-generation campus networks. The Technical White Paper for High-Quality 10G AI Campus Network Construction is released, which summarizes the three-layer logical architecture and key technologies of AI campus networks. In the future, AI campus networks should be evaluated from six dimensions: (A) self-intelligent network, (B) 10GE ultra-broadband Ethernet, (C) ubiquitous connectivity, (D) defined experience, (E) energy saving, and (F) all-domain security. The Chinese version of the White Paper will be released at this forum. In the future, excellent cases from around the world will be included. Overseas partners will be invited to release the English version together to contribute China's strength to world standards. "Technical specifications fill gaps in the industry and accelerate the implementation of Huawei's solutions.Zhao Shaoqi, president of the campus network domain of Huawei Data Communication Product Line, said: "The AI campus is moving from vision to reality. First, the AI campus leverages AI to enable smart networks to connect everything. In addition, the AI campus also feeds back AI to enhance intelligence through networks and implements interconnection of all intelligent networks. On the whole, the AI campus should build a self-intelligent network with guaranteed experience, energy-saving, and all-domain security based on 10GE ultra-broadband and ubiquitous connections. Huawei's Star River AI campus network solution adheres to the experience-centric network construction concept. Through the wireless, application, O&M, and security experience upgrades, Huawei's Star River AI campus network solution works with customers and partners to build a high-quality 10GE AI campus. "In the future, NIDA will continue to work with industry standards organizations and vendors to promote the implementation of core technical specifications in the White Paper, accelerate the in-depth integration of AI technologies and campus networks, and promote high-quality development of AI campus networks.
