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.

Palace Museum at 600: Old palace, new vitality

BEIJING, Oct. 16, 2020 — A news report by China.org.cn on the 600th year of the Palace Museum:

 

This year marks the 600th birthday of the Forbidden City, a magnificent and majestic Chinese palace.

As the most important activity in a series of commemorative events, an exhibition titled "Everlasting Splendor: Six Centuries at the Forbidden City" is being held at the Palace Museum in Beijing. With more than 450 cultural relics and historical photos on show, the exhibition brings history to life, and allows visitors to better appreciate the cultural charm of the 600-year-old palace.

The Forbidden City was China’s imperial palace during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. It was completed in 1420 and a total of 24 emperors lived and worked in the compound.

In many people’s eyes, the Forbidden City is both beautiful and mysterious. Its beauty lies in the palace complex being an extremely precious and magnificent artwork. Boasting more than 70 palaces of various sizes and over 9,000 rooms, the Forbidden City is one of the largest and most complete existing wooden structures anywhere in the world. A masterpiece of ancient architecture, the compound features a symmetrical layout, various glazed roof tiles, exquisite corner towers as well as bright and airy courtyards.

The Forbidden City is mysterious, because ancient Chinese philosophies were integrated into its design and construction, including harmony between human and nature, the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, as well as the Eight Trigrams. Previously off-grounds to all but the imperial family, the palace has an air of dignity which has deepened the mystery surrounding it.

However, the sense of mystery has gradually faded since the Forbidden City was transformed into the Palace Museum in 1925, 13 years after the last emperor abdicated.

The Palace Museum is now a world-renowned museum which houses more than 1.8 million artifacts. It is also the world’s most visited museum, receiving over 19.3 million visitors in 2019. In recent years, it has opened a coffee shop named the Corner Tower Cafe, attracting visitors to enjoy drinks named and packaged with "imperial" elements. Creative products inspired by aspects of the museum, such as cosmetics and folding fans, have gone on sale via e-commerce platforms. Court robes in the museum’s collection have appeared in mobile games. "Snowy scenes at the Palace Museum," "Cats living in the Palace Museum," and the names of TV shows featuring the museum are all popular search terms online. The Palace Museum has become a real "online celebrity" on the Chinese internet.

Many foreigners still refer to the Chinese palace as "the Forbidden City." In fact, that name is used less and less in China.

The Forbidden City is now known as the Palace Museum, or "Gugong" in Chinese. "Gu" means "old" or "in the past." Bearing witness to China’s history, the Palace Museum has to some extent shaped the mental world of the Chinese people. But nowadays, it has become a brand-new cultural symbol. Open and vigorous, the palace inspires more people to understand the Chinese nation from a new perspective and cherish the common treasures of mankind.

Huawei’s Ryan Ding: Intelligent Experiences Unlock New Value

BEIJING, Oct. 16, 2020 — On the second day of the 6th Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF) held online, Huawei’s Executive Director and President of the Carrier Business Group Ryan Ding gave his keynote speech "Intelligent Experiences Unlock New Value".

Ryan Ding speaks at UBBF 2020
Ryan Ding speaks at UBBF 2020

Over the past five years, Huawei, along with its partners, has worked together to define the industrial value that gigaband and premium broadband have to offer and continued to find new value in areas like gigabit speeds, network experience, operation and maintenance (O&M) efficiency, and industry ecosystems. Together, they have worked to maximize the commercial and industrial value of fixed broadband.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, fixed broadband networks have unleashed huge social and economic value, especially in countries that have world-class broadband infrastructure. Fixed broadband has played an important role in getting work, production, education, and the economy back on track.

Ding said carriers’ continual investment and innovation in fixed broadband offers uncapped potential and will become a powerful engine for global economic recovery. He added that carriers need to redouble their efforts in fixed broadband, shift the focus from connecting households to connecting enterprises, and provide the ultimate service experience to every person, home, and organization through ongoing innovation. According to Ding, the industry needs to drive the boom of the global digital economy while working to maximize the commercial value of fixed broadband. This is why Huawei has suggested that intelligent connectivity will be a key area for industry innovation, and will help carriers explore new business opportunities and enable the digital transformation of industries.

1. Home+: Better experiences and more diversified services

As online connectivity becomes increasingly important in our lives, our homes are becoming multi-purpose platforms. With intelligent connectivity, households will enjoy a diversified service experience, including high-speed broadband, full coverage, and guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs). This will make homes more than just living spaces. They will become places where end users have a brand-new "Home+" intelligent experience.

Huawei has proposed a formula for maximizing digital value from homes: Home digital value = Broadband speed + Home network + Diversified services, which is outlined below.

Informed network construction decisions for faster broadband: Governments need to include broadband network construction as part of their national strategies as well as to provide policy and financial support. Carriers need to take a holistic approach for the planning, construction, installation, O&M, and operation of network infrastructure. They need to focus on high-value users and build gigabit residential areas to promote the widespread upgrade of broadband services.

Connecting every user for full coverage: Providing a quality Wi-Fi experience to homes is a major challenge that carriers face. With Wi-Fi products as a service and Wi-Fi services available on a platform, a home’s Wi-Fi experience can be visualized, managed, and maintained, which improves the service experience of home users. Huawei is working with carriers to promote the fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) solution, which can support the innovation of more smart home applications.

Guaranteed experience levels for target services: To further improve the experience for homes, the ability to intelligently identify target services has become all the more important. As such, carriers can use AI to determine the type of home service and then provide the right service with guaranteed experience levels across multiple scenarios. In other words, carriers can work more closely with OTT players to monetize the application ecosystem. Then they will provide guaranteed experience levels for target services to monetize differentiated services. Carriers can also explore new business opportunities in verticals like smart home.

2. Enterprise+: Maximizing digital value with better experiences

For enterprises, digitization is about connecting capital, workforce, assets, information, and regulations. Though connectivity is the lifeblood of digital enterprises, carriers still face huge challenges in providing enterprises with guaranteed connectivity. Intelligent connectivity systematically improves enterprise experience in three areas: coverage, architecture, and fusion, and will help enterprises go digital.

Huawei has also come up with a formula that can help create greater digital value from enterprises: Enterprise digital value = Coverage x Architecture x Fusion, which is outlined below.

Intelligent, seamless coverage with multiple technologies: Carriers need to develop a comprehensive service area plan and deploy optical private lines within 300 meters of enterprise users. In addition, carriers need to integrate multiple technologies such as 5G, OTN, IP, and PON into one optical network to intelligently meet enterprises’ various needs with differentiated private line products. They can also make full use of their existing network resources, such as full-fiber cities, to deploy one network that serves multiple purposes and one private line that handles multiple services.

Deterministic experiences with elastic, intelligent architecture: Carriers need an elastic and intelligent architecture that is congestion-free, always-on, scalable, and simplified. This type of architecture can help achieve committed SLAs, including guaranteed bandwidth, latency, reliability, and service provisioning times. The architecture is essential for providing deterministic experiences and for monetizing SLAs.

Cloud-network fusion for differentiated experiences: Huawei believes that network capabilities will become foundational someday. Network boundaries will disappear, and clouds and networks will fully merge. Carriers will be able to diversify their offerings as they provide a self-defined experience throughout the entire user journey from purchasing to usage. In addition to cloud and network bundled services, they will also provide one hop to the cloud as well as differentiated cloud and network services.

At the end of his speech, Ding stated that business developments and technological advancements do not happen independently. Intelligent connectivity involves three major innovations: intelligent network construction, intelligent cloud network, and synergy between computing and networks. Huawei will work more closely with its customers to create greater digital value for homes and enterprises using the two monetization formulas and deliver intelligent experiences through ubiquitous connectivity. Together, they will enable digital transformation of industries and tap into a digital economy worth trillions of dollars.

Best Enterprise Private Line Solution Award

ZTE and the Dongguan branch of China Mobile have jointly built up this intelligent OTN enterprise private line solution to provide high-quality networks, so as to satisfy differentiated access demands of users.

The enterprise private line supports 2M-100G tunable granularity to make better use of the bandwidth resources. Moreover, it can implement automatic CPE deployment and PnP (Plug and Play) so that the CPE deployment is shortened from days to hours.

Meanwhile, the enterprise private line allows CPE disaggregation through the intelligent management and control platform, enabling end-to-end cross-vendor management.

Also, it supports fast end-to-end deployment and provisioning of the entire network, with the service scheduling shortened from hours to minutes, thereby significantly reducing the TTM (Time to Market) and enhancing the competitiveness of China Mobile in the vertical industries.

By means of real-time latency measurement and alarm, the intelligent OTN enterprise private line has guaranteed that its latency indicators will well meet the requirements of users.

ZTE is a provider of advanced telecommunications systems, mobile devices and enterprise technology solutions to consumers, operators, companies and public sector customers. The company has been committed to providing customers with integrated end-to-end innovations to deliver excellence and value as the telecommunications and information technology sectors converge. Listed in the stock exchanges of Hong Kong and Shenzhen (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), ZTE sells its products and services in more than 160 countries.

Sogou Wins Grand Prize at MIND News Recommendation Competition

BEIJING, Oct. 14, 2020 — Sogou Inc. (NYSE:SOGO) ("Sogou" or "the Company"), an innovator in search and a leader in China’s internet industry, today announced that it has won the Grand Prize at the MIND News Recommendation Competition, a world-class competition on news recommendation held by Microsoft Research Asia (MRSA) and Microsoft News. This demonstrates Sogou’s industry-leading capabilities in search and recommendation.

The MIND News Recommendation Competition is committed to promoting the research and practice related to news recommendation, which is a challenging task due to the ever-accelerating complexity of news information and updates, as well as the diverse and dynamic interests of users. The competition requires participants to improve news recommendation systems, based on a large-scale English dataset, to provide users more personalized reading experience and alleviate information overload. It has attracted top teams worldwide, from countries such as China, South Korea, Canada, France, and others.

As this year’s Grand Prize winner, Sogou has proved its technical capacity developed from years of in-depth research and accumulated experience in search and recommendation algorithms. The team adopted a multi-angle information modeling scheme in the competition, integrating a single model with multiple downsampling datasets, which achieved leading results in all performance indicators. 

Specifically, in terms of data processing, despite the imbalance of positive and negative news samples, the Sogou team innovatively used ⅕ negative instances, which generated nearly the same results while greatly reduced training time. In terms of text modeling, through leveraging BERT’s BPR tokenizer and the combination of DNN, DIN attention mechanism and DLRM, Sogou team achieved higher accuracy of personalized news recommendation.

These leading technologies have also been widely applied to Sogou products, such as Sogou Search and Sogou Mobile Browser, to provide more tailored recommendations to millions of users, meeting users’ needs and interests and helping them get quality information online. Sogou will continue its efforts to provide better products and improve user experience with this set of cutting-edge technologies.
