‘Dual circulation’: A crucial step for China’s economic development in new era

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Oct. 30, 2020 — A news report by China.org.cn on the 5th plenary session of the 19th central committee of the CPC and China’s "dual circulation":

 

The fifth plenary session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) concluded on Oct. 29. The session discussed and adopted the CPC Central Committee’s proposals for the formulation of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035. The principal idea of the 14th Five-Year Plan is to foster a new, dual-circulation development architecture with the domestic circulation as the mainstay, and with domestic and international development reinforcing each other.

The world today is undergoing profound changes rarely seen in a century. The global spread of COVID-19 has brought about more uncertainties and destabilizing factors. This has sent the world economy into recession, and caused a further contraction in international trade and investment. Meanwhile, some countries are blaming globalization for such issues as the hollowing out of industries, the widening wealth gap, and increasing political tensions. China is thus facing significant external headwinds.

Since the start of reform and opening-up over four decades ago, China has risen to become the world’s second largest economy. It is currently the largest manufacturer, the largest merchandise trader, and the holder of the largest foreign exchange reserves. It also ranks second in the world for attracting foreign investment and the consumption of goods. Its contribution rate to global economic growth has exceeded 30% for several years in a row. China is marching on its journey to fully build a modern socialist country. However, it still faces unbalanced and inadequate development.

Therefore, China has been working to foster a new, dual-circulation development architecture. This aims to remove the barriers existing in domestic circulation, and further unleash the potential of domestic markets, so as to support a higher level of circulation externally. This is not a short-term response by the country to deal with the epidemic and changes in the international environment. Instead, the move reflects China’s long-term strategic countermeasures under a global perspective, and is a crucial step in China’s economic development during the new era.

With a focus on domestic circulation, the model does not in fact mean complete isolation. On the contrary, it will lead to higher levels of opening-up. The "dual circulation" strategy is not the same as an international circulation in its narrow sense regarding foreign trade, capital, and foreign direct investment. Rather, it covers finance, currency, the flow of people, the spread of technologies, the flow of information and data, climate change, environmental protection, elimination of the wealth gap, the accomplishment of U.N. sustainable development goals, etc. It is a general circulation for industrial, supply and service chains with wider scopes, expanded areas, and higher levels.

The new, dual-circulation development architecture is a roadmap for China’s long-term overall economic development. It will also become an open and inclusive global economic engine which enjoys strong vitality and bright economic prospects.

New Cisco Solutions Elevate Resiliency and Security for Critical Legislative and Judicial Operations

Leave a comment

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2020 — Cisco Partner Summit Digital —

News Summary:  

  • The Covid-19 pandemic has required local and national government institutions to quickly respond and adapt to deliver important services while governing remotely
  • New cloud solution, Webex Legislate, enables remote and hybrid legislative bodies to convene safely and securely
  • New Connected Justice Solution for Courts, Correctional Facilities and Community Corrections powers secure real-time virtual judicial proceedings anywhere, anytime
  • Expanded Cisco Public Funding Office helps public sector customers tap stimulus funding worldwide

The pandemic has shown that technology is key not only to keeping us securely connected and productive but also to keep essential functions of civic life and democracy moving during disruptions. During the Covid-19 pandemic, local and national government institutions are responding and adapting by pivoting to deliver services and continue the business of governing, remotely.  To support governmental organizations with these business resiliency efforts, Cisco is announcing solutions to enable justice systems and legislative bodies worldwide to continue their critical functions.

The new solutions combine the power of Cisco technology, including Cisco Webex video conferencing, with expertise and innovation from Cisco Customer Experience (CX) and the Cisco partner ecosystem. To speed access to these tools, Cisco’s Public Funding Office has increased capacity to help customers and partners navigate funding sources and accelerate projects that help them serve their communities through the pandemic.

These new solutions bring secure delivery of virtual government services across multiple platforms of previously disparate technology to provide greater efficiencies, reduce cost associated with travel, while keeping the public safer. Prior to Covid-19, many governing bodies were legally required to meet in-person, and the shift to remote has been a new experience for many. Now, according to a new Cisco survey, over 50% of government workers expect to work remotely eight or more days per month. Governing bodies worldwide need to deliver seamless collaboration for their fully remote and hybrid legislative bodies, enabling them to convene safely and securely – while adhering to procedures steeped in law and tradition.

Webex Legislate is a new secure, purpose-built cloud solution that extends Webex’s built-in security and privacy capabilities. The new solution meets the highly specialized requirements of global legislatures, providing a "better than being there" experience to give legislators the same capabilities as on the chamber or parliamentary floor, while attending sessions from their regions and remaining close to the citizens they represent. The new solution provides support for:

  • Legislators, by delivering an integrated experience that provides the video conferencing experience they already know via a new dashboard for all the governing business required in hearings and floor debates and votes. For example, it:
    • Allows legislatures the ability to debate and vote on legislation in accordance with their rules, procedures, and norms via customized voting features
    • Enables secure sidebar rooms that mimic the conversations legislators have in caucus or on the floor. These rooms can be ad hoc or permanent
    • Offers simultaneous interpretation and closed captioning making it easy for legislative sessions to be conducted in multiple languages
  • Moderators, by enabling complete customization so Webex Legislate will allow for the unique rules, procedures, and roles of each legislative body. That means appropriate permissions are given to committee chairs, speakers, legislators, staff, citizens, press and so on. The solution also provides timers, detailed mute controls and more to easily manage orderly proceedings.

Designed to meet legislative security needs, the solution enables:

    • Single sign-on with multifactor authentication
    • Visual and verbal verification with secure lobby admission to verify the identity of voting members
    • Chain of custody for all procedures, including voting
    • Anonymous or customized voting, with detailed statistics by party and voter

Webex Legislate was funded and co-developed by Cisco’s Country Digital Acceleration (CDA) program, in conjunction with Irish systems integrator and Cisco partner, Davra. The Cisco CDA program, which is active in 37 countries around the world, delivers sustainable digital solutions in collaboration with national and local government leaders to address real societal problems. The CDA program provides Cisco partners a unique opportunity to co-develop and co-innovate technology solutions that align with national digital agendas around the world. Webex Legislate is an example of how partners can use the Webex software development kit to develop custom applications on top of Webex to help accelerate their customers cloud adoption.

Additionally, Cisco has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authority to operate for Webex calling, meeting, and messaging solutions, allowing U.S. federal employees and contractors to experience the work-from-anywhere benefits of cloud collaboration while meeting stringent government requirements. These capabilities will soon be available in a single Webex app, making it easy for users to escalate messages into calls or video conferences, and share content on room video devices. Learn more here.

Cisco’s Connected Justice solution is the first standards-based video solution to deliver comprehensive, connected professional services to courts, correctional facilities and community corrections. Covid-19 made delivering critical services without physical contact essential. Cisco partners Cloverhound and TRACKtech have customized connected solutions for partners to be able to order that align to the three pillars of justice-courts, corrections, and community supervision. This solution enhances collaboration across agencies, maintains daily operations and can help reduce recidivism.

The new solution provides support for:

  • Courtrooms:
    • Brings courtroom participants together via real-time video creating a safe and secure environment
    • Offers the courts the ability to hold virtual hearings with an integrated docket dashboard that identifies a virtual lobby and side rooms, via partner Cloverhound. This brings extra efficiencies and accelerates court activities
    • Support for managing the hybrid court with physical attendees in a court hearing so a judge can see both virtual and in-person participants
  • Correctional Facilities:
    • Provides seamless virtual visitation services via simplified workflow and user experience. New custom designed scheduling software from Cisco CX is built for this specific environment
    • Increases and simplifies remote access to critical services such as court appearances, telehealth services and distance learning
  • Community Corrections:
    • Helps government agencies better reduce recidivism by delivering rehabilitative support and supervision, via a new mobile advanced supervision and integrated case management solution from Cisco partner TRACKtech
    • New mobile solution provides increased caseload efficiency by notifying staff members of incompliance allowing them to spend their time where it is needed most
    • Simplifies delivery of essential support services such as remote check-ins, teletherapy recovery and behavioral health counseling and homeless services
      • For example, using Webex Teams integrated with TRACKtech products, one major US judicial district was able to increase caseload productivity by visiting 3x more clients in a day with virtual home visits
      • In addition, by utilizing Cisco’s video end points with TRACKtech, the judicial district was able to save the equivalent of their entire annual fleet management budget

"The beauty of Cisco’s courtroom technology, using Webex and the underlying secure infrastructure, is that the public now sees virtual courtrooms as a way to keep the wheels of justice turning, not only during Covid-19, but beyond," said Elkhart County Director of Information Technology Matthew Dietz. "For judges is it was easy to use and serves our citizens efficiently—allowing people to take a 15-minute break to attend a hearing instead of spending a half-day in court."

Increased Funding Office Expertise

Government funding to support Covid-19 response efforts is available. This year, Cisco doubled its expert team to help ensure business continuity of government globally by assisting customers to navigate the programs and processes. Cisco experts can help customers navigate the process of securing funding by helping identify potential funding sources for projects. Together the expanded team brings decades of expertise and has supported thousands of customers through this process.

Omdia 5G report: live networks pass 100 in 3Q20, 85% of CSPs yet to launch

Leave a comment

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2020 —

  • 5G mobile broadband launches passed 100 during 3Q20.
  • Western Europe has the largest number of 5G launches, followed by Asia-Pacific.
  • With Apple’s iPhone 12 launch, 5G coverage and network quality is even more of a critical area of differentiation and competition for service providers.

The number of commercial 5G mobile broadband networks launched globally hit 109 in Q3 2020, according to Omdia’s latest 5G Service Provider Tracker. When taking into account networks that use 5G to deliver home broadband services (Fixed Wireless Access, ‘FWA’), the total number of Communication Service Provider (CSP) launches reached 140 at end-3Q20.

Western Europe has the largest number of commercial 5G mobile broadband networks, at 33, followed by Asia-Pacific with 31, and the Middle East, with 17. The Middle East has the highest number of live 5G FWA networks, at 11, followed by Western Europe, with 8, and Asia-Pacific, with 6.

5G is already the second-fastest-growing new cellular network technology ever launched by the telecoms industry, behind only the first mass-market mobile service, 2G (GSM). The number of mobile broadband networks is 38% higher than it was for 4G two full years after the first launches, while in its first full year of commercial services 5G exceeded the total number of subscriptions 4G had after three years. 

Even with a strong start there still remains huge scope for growth for 5G as 85 % of CSPs have yet to launch 5G. This is partly due to local governments not making the 5G spectrum available yet. By 2025 Omdia expects there will be over three billion 5G mobile subscriptions, representing nearly one third of all total mobile subscriptions.

Paul Lambert, Principal Analyst at Omdia, commented: "The telecoms industry has been more successful than ever in agreeing extremely complex 5G technology standards, and then manufacturing network equipment and devices that enable service providers that want to get a head-start on 5G to launch.

"As activity shifts increasingly online, 5G, like previous technology generations, will both expand on and enhance the way people experience their connected digital lives. For specialist users, such as gamers, industries, and businesses, 5G also brings quicker response times, so that data-heavy experiences, services, and applications feel more vivid and immediate"

Consumer Interest:

5G smartphones from leading manufacturers such as Samsung and Huawei have been in the market for over a year, however consumer interest in 5G is set to grow following October’s iPhone 12 launch, Apple’s first 5G device.

Apple’s launch will have a significant effect on the global telecoms industry as it will encourage service providers across the globe that have yet to build their 5G networks to begin their planning in earnest. It will also enable CSPs to justify the new investments required to expand and enhance coverage beyond initial areas because more people will be ready to access 5G.

Meanwhile, even faster 5G speeds made possible by mmWave spectrum, which the iPhone 12 currently supports in the US, will enable service providers and their partners to create rich new site-specific services, for example in stadiums and shopping centres.

Guangzhou will witness the 2020 World 5G Convention on November 26

GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 23, 2020 — This article was written by the World 5G Convention Organizing Committee(reported by Science and Technology Daily):

The 2020 World 5G Convention, co-hosted by the People’s Government of Guangdong Province of the PRC, National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC, Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC, and Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC, will be held in Guangzhou from November 26 to 28. The theme of the Convention is "5G+ By All for All ".

On March 4, a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee emphasized to speed up the construction of new infrastructures such as 5G networks and data centers. When General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Zhejiang, Shaanxi and other places this year, he successively gave important instructions on accelerating the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G.

With the deepening of a new round of global technological revolution and industrial transformation, 5G has become a priority development area in the world’s digital economy development strategy. According to the prediction of the Global Association for Mobile Communications Systems, by 2024, there will be nearly 1.2 billion 5G users worldwide. China Academy of Information and Communications Technology predicts that the cumulative investment in China’s 5G network construction is potential to reach RMB 1.2 trillion by 2025. It will fuel the upstream and downstream industrial chain and application investment in various industries to exceed RMB 3.5 trillion. From 2020 to 2025, China’s 5G commercial use will indirectly drive the total economic output of about RMB 24.8 trillion. 

The World 5G Convention is the world’s first international event in the 5G field, and it was held in Beijing for the first time in 2019. The Convention gathered experts and scholars as well as business executives from all over the world to conduct in-depth discussions centering on the theme of "5G – Change the World, Create the Future". Here is the list of the participants of the opening ceremony: Cai Qi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Secretary of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee; Wang Yong, State Councilor; Wang Zhigang, Minister of Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC; Miao Wei, former Minister of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC; and Lin Nianxiu, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC. It fully embodies the high attention the Party and state leaders pay to 5G development.

The 2020 World 5G Convention will be held in Guangzhou, where it will gather important and influential scientists in the global information and communication field, world-renowned 5G service providers, and 5G industry application providers to conduct exchanges and discussions on cutting-edge technologies, industry trends, and innovative applications in the 5G field. The Convention will fully reflect the traction of 5G in the world’s new economic form and the importance of 5G in the new dual-cycle development pattern and highlight that 5G promotes the upgrading of traditional industries and a new digital life, "smartly benefits", demonstrating the role and value of 5G industry empowerment to the world.

According to the introduction released by the Organizing Committee of the World 5G Convention, the Convention will be held in a new click-and-mortar way, consisting of an opening ceremony, a main forum and summit forums. 5G and Media Industry Transformation Forum as well as 5G and Digital Life New Consumption Forum will be firstly held on November 25.

In the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area issued by the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council in February 2019, it is clearly stated that we should promote the new-generation information technologies and develop them into new pillar industries, and foster a number of major industrial projects in key areas such as new display technologies, new-generation communication technologies, 5G and mobile Internet.

As one of the organizers of the Convention, Guangdong province has been actively promoting the development of 5G industrial application. In 2019, Guangdong Province issued the Guangdong Provincial Action Plan for Accelerating the Development of 5G Industry (2019-2022), specifying the goal and direction for the development of 5G industry. As one of the first 5G pilot cities in China, Guangzhou attaches great importance to seizing the opportunity for the rapid development of 5G, accelerating the cultivation of new business types, new economies and new momenta, and creating new momentum led by science and technology, so as to provide important support for Guangzhou to realize the goal of "old city, new vitality". The Convention will explore the new starting point, new directions and new opportunities of 5G combining the development trend of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area and taking account of the commercial implementation process, promote the integration of 5G into all industries, and link all things to benefit the public, and empower the construction of the Greater Bay Area.

The registration channel for participating the 2020 World 5G Convention and the exhibition is now open. For details, please refer to the official website of the Convention www.w5gc.com.

New Blis report pinpoints geography, mobility and psychology as the key factors impacting behaviour change leading up to the holiday season

Leave a comment

SYDNEY, Oct. 22, 2020 — Blis, the trusted leader in location-powered advertising and analytics has today launched a new global report, ‘Behaviour change is real: how brands can harness it’, in advance of the upcoming holiday season. The report looks at three key indicators for behaviour change that are impacting consumers and being impacted the most: geographical location, modifications to mobility and the psychological need for interaction.

 

 

The analysis highlights how these three factors interact and impact consumer behaviour, as seen both in our foot traffic data and sentiment surveys. This research pairs real-world behaviour with survey data from consumers and media industry professionals across Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Singapore, UAE, UK and US.

The report outlines how there is no one approach that fits all, given vastly different consumer need states and risk appetites. Consumers are out of their comfort zones. They are cocooning, and thus spending less, but in fact, appear to be splashing out more. As a result, brands also need to keep a close eye on the early embracers in any one vertical, as they are likely to be the harbingers of the next vertical to recover as well. Key findings include:

  • Geography: Patterns of behaviour vary at a localised level and confidence vs. caution varies geographically, so brands need to take a micro approach and develop more granular strategies.
  • Mobility: Public transit users are the early embracers and offer the best cues for brands about potential new targeting opportunities.
  • Psychology: The rate of return to ‘normal’ varies, not just region to region, but also person to person, where our intrinsic need for personal interaction drives more confident consumers out into daily life. Brands need to segment audiences into risk appetite.

Alex Wright, Head of Insights at Blis said, "With regions around the world exiting and entering lockdowns at different stages there is an abundance of uncertainty. This mix of confidence and concern, as well as adoption of new habits is creating bigger challenges for brands who are looking to deepen their understanding of their changing customers. This report sheds light on some of these key behaviour changes and the difference between perception and reality for consumers. Understanding  the impact of geography, mobility and psychology is key for brands to reach and engage consumers in this unusual time."

With the holiday season already beginning for some and many yearning for a level of ‘normal’, it’s imperative for brands to pay close attention to how their audience has, or hasn’t, adapted their behaviour. In such a disrupted environment, understanding the different anchor points of a consumer’s day and how they have changed will provide key insights into their mindset.

The report also highlights the cyclical path that consumer behaviour is taking as markets experience different stages of impact from COVID-19. With full recovery not yet on the horizon, a return to stability is key for bedding in new behaviours and even reverting back to old habits not long forgotten.

H3C Wi-Fi 6 Access Point Registers Fastest Connection Speed Ever Tested: Tolly Test Report

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Oct. 19, 2020 — H3C’s Wi-Fi 6 flagship access point WA6628 delivers single-client wireless throughput up to 4.176Gbps on the 5 GHz radio, representing the fastest Wi-Fi connection speed that has been tested by Tolly Group so far, according to a recent report of the leading global provider of testing and third-party validation and certification services to the IT industry.

An excerpt from the Test Report for H3C Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Access Points Performance Evaluation and Feature Validation by Tolly Group
An excerpt from the Test Report for H3C Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Access Points Performance Evaluation and Feature Validation by Tolly Group

The new Tolly Test Report revealed test results of the performance, maximum number of clients, features, and Internet of Things (IoT) integration of H3C’s four WA66 Wi-Fi 6 access points and six WA63 Wi-Fi 6 access points. Both series provide high single-client and multi-client performance, suggested the report.

To evaluate the 5 GHz radio performance of the H3C WA6628 Wi-Fi 6 access point, Tolly engineers used a Spirent C50 Wi-Fi 6 test appliance to simulate single wireless client access to the WA6628.

Test results showed that the WA6628 provides a downlink TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) throughput of 4.176Gbps in 4×4 MIMO, four spatial streams, and 160 MHz bandwidth mode.

Single-client Throughput

Tolly engineers used the latest Wi-Fi 6 mobile terminal to access the H3C WA6320, WA6330, and WA6338 Wi-Fi 6 access points, and used IxChariot to test their performance, noted the report.

The results indicated that the H3C WA63 Wi-Fi 6 access point series provides a single-client downlink wireless throughput over 945Mbps on the 5 GHz radio and over 460Mbps on the 2.4 GHz radio, improving performance by more than 33 percent and 95 percent over Wi-Fi 5 access points, respectively.

Multi-client Throughput

Tolly engineers simulated a good number of Wi-Fi 6 clients to access the 5GHz radio and the 2.4 GHz radio simultaneously, and verified that the system throughput of H3C WA6628 and WA6320 Wi-Fi 6 dual-radio access points can reach 4.5Gbps and 1Gbps respectively, said the report.

The H3C WA6638 and WA6330 Wi-Fi 6 triple-radio access points have a system throughput up to 4.02Gbps and 1.78Gbps respectively, according to the report.

Such throughput capacities can effectively solve the problem of concurrent Internet lag that often happens when multiple people work with the help of a Wi-Fi system simultaneously, and enable relevant products to handle the ever-increasing traffic in the application scenarios of such technologies as 4K high-definition video, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). 

Multimedia Streaming

The H3C WA6638 and WA6338 Wi-Fi 6 triple-radio access points each allows 650 clients to simultaneously stream multimedia applications, while the WA6330 access point supports up to 610 clients to simultaneously stream multimedia applications, said the report.

The excellent capacities can significantly improve users’ Wi-Fi experience in high-density scenarios like conference halls.

User Capacity

The H3C WA6638, WA6630X, and WA6338 Wi-Fi 6 access points each can provide wireless access simultaneously for 1,500 clients, according to the report, which showed that the H3C WA6330 access point can provide wireless access simultaneously for 1,280 clients.

IoT Integration

Tests conducted by Tolly Group suggested that many models of the H3C WA66 and WA63 Wi-Fi 6 access point series can use built-in Bluetooth low energy (BLE) and radio frequency identification devices (RFID), and exchange data with IoT endpoints.

The WA6322, WA6330, WA6622, WA6630X, and WA6638 access points provide PoE ports, which can connect to and supply power and transmit data for external IoT modules, the report disclosed.

H3C has been developing wireless products for more than ten years and ranked first in the Chinese enterprise Wireless LAN (WLAN) market for 11 consecutive years.

The company has introduced a Wi-Fi 6+5G+IoT integration solution, which could fully manage basic connectivity concerning Wi-Fi 6, 5G and IoT through a unified platform architecture, thus realizing flexible network expansion, unified management, and unified data, and lower construction costs.

The newly upgraded Wi-Fi 6 access points of H3C, which feature fast connection speed and stability, aim to meet the demand for connectivity in various scenarios and guarantee the stable operation and long-term development of clients’ businesses.

Adhering to its "AI in ALL" strategy and "Digital Brain Project 2020", H3C has developed a total of 18 Wi-Fi 6 products fully covering different scenarios in various industries.

By providing a rich variety of scenario-based Wi-Fi solutions, the company has been actually laying foundation for the digital transformation of various sectors.
