As one of the most important events in the global mobile communication industry, the 2022 World Mobile Communication Conference opened in Barcelona Convention and Exhibition Center, Spain, on February 28. This conference focuses on six themes: 5g, cloud network, artificial intelligence, financial technology, Internet of all things and emerging technology, aiming to "connect and release infinite possibilities".
In the "hot search" list of the conference, 5g, Internet of things and other technologies continue to occupy an important position, and the "meta universe" that made its debut on a large scale has become the focus of discussion. In particular, the voices and products from Chinese enterprises have attracted much attention.
"Yuanjie" rises and accelerates the formation of a new space for human development
If the most eye-catching technology application is selected at this conference, it must be the "meta universe". It is almost impossible to completely avoid the topic of "meta universe" at the conference, whether it is the future product application experience or large and small speech forums.
Is it future technology or a flash in the pan hype? Metauniverse is causing heated debate. In addition to the discussion of technology itself, the profit model and related ethical issues of metauniverse have also become the focus of attention.
Peter jaric, head of the think tank of the global mobile communication systems association, the organizer of the conference, said that the topic of metauniverse has attracted so much attention, which means that people are interested in defining, evaluating and understanding this technology. At the same time, it also means the deeper integration of 5g, edge computing, Internet of things and other technologies.
In his keynote speech delivered online on February 28, Yang Jie, chairman of China Mobile, pointed out that with the expansion of connection objects and the upgrading of infrastructure, new formats and models such as metauniverse continue to emerge, and a new space for human development that complements the digital and real world is accelerating.
"Today, we are at the beginning of the next transition because we are building a meta universe." "Yuan" CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement before the conference, "To create a real sense of existence in the virtual world provided by smart glasses and virtual reality helmets, we need to make unprecedented progress in connectivity... And new types of networks will be needed, such as remote rendering on edge computing cloud and large-scale immersive video streaming."
5g acceleration, giving birth to the whole Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co.Ltd(300832) ecology
Different from the "meta universe", for 5g, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, people no longer pay attention to the problem of "what is", but pay more attention to cutting-edge application products or scenarios.
At this conference, a large number of innovative application products and scenarios based on 5g technology emerged in manufacturing, healthcare, Internet of things, transportation and other industries. Stephanie Lynch Habib, chief marketing officer of the global mobile communication systems association, pointed out that compared with before, the participants in the industry had a higher "appetite" and looked forward to 5g innovative application scenarios.
Digital operators, equipment manufacturers, integrators... Large, small and medium-sized enterprises of all sizes present diversified characteristics, and the content of technology exhibition is also richer. From the 5g artificial intelligence processor launched by Qualcomm to the 5g hotspot launched by Bullitt group for harsh communication environment, and then to the 5g technology driven bar Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) waiter, it is not difficult to see that the innovative application technology based on 5g is accelerating.
Zte Corporation(000063) executive vice president and chief operating officer Xie Junshi pointed out in an interview with Xinhua that 5g is giving birth to a new business form, and everyone is playing a role in the industrial chain and developing in a coordinated manner.
