Mr. Tian Suning

Chairman

AsiaInfo

Mr. Tian Suning, Chairman of AsiaInfo, started his presentation with wide optimism. He said this industry is about to start growing again, and open digital transformation is the most important factor in pushing growth forwards. While 5G was supposed to be the foundation of business connections, that hasn’t happened, because we need to bring 5Gprivate or open 5G.

He noted there are a few models for working with enterprises, with network slicing one option. In some case large enterprises want their own networks to be able to control their data within their own boundaries. Therefore, we can have independent verticals and working with operators for long-haul networks. With companies pushing their virtual and open RAN gear at MWC23 Barcelona, he sees strong momentum getting ready to take off.
