ASTRI to showcase cutting-edge 5G technologies at PT EXPO China 2020 in Beijing

     

    Based on the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI), ASTRI showcase their cutting-edge 5G technologies at PT EXPO China 2020 in Beijing

    The Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) will showcase a portfolio of its cutting-edge 5G technologies at the PT EXPO China 2020 inĀ BeijingĀ from 14-16 October.

    Adopting the theme of “Promote 5G for an Intelligent Future”, ASTRI will demonstrate its technologies and innovations that enhance the competitive strength of enterprises inĀ Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area and around the world.

     

    These technologies include:

    • Ā 5G O-RAN Solution
    • Ā Industrial IoT applications
    • Ā 5G OpenUPF
    • Ā Ground-breaking Terabit 5G Standalone Core Network
    • Ā AR Intelligent Maintenance
    • Ā IoT Blockchain
    • Ā 5G Smart Mobility solution

    ASTRI Chief Executive OfficerĀ Hugh ChowĀ said: “Our technology and our innovation must always serve a practical need in society. We are delighted to have the opportunity to showcase so many of these ground-breaking success stories in one place, allowing us to truly demonstrate how wide-ranging and impactful our work is.”

    The PT EXPO China 2020 is hosted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It is one ofĀ Asia’sĀ largest and most influential Information and Communications Technology (ICT) events, exploring the impact of next-generation technologies across a variety of industries, as well as trends in the market. Last year, the event had more than 81,000 attendees and hosted over 400 exhibitors.

    DrĀ Justin Chuang, Vice-President, Communications Technologies at ASTRI, said: “Our 5G network solution is fully compliant with 3GPP standard and low-cost. It can realise new application scenarios including private networks, Internet of Vehicles, industrial Internet and mobile phone OS cloudification etc., bringing 5G into the market quickly with valued services”.

    ASTRI’sĀ 5G O-RAN SolutionĀ is an end-to-end 5G network solution, which complies with 3GPP standards and, through its flexibility, low cost and ease of deployment, removes a traditional cost barrier to the industry looking to make the most of the 5G network. OurĀ Industrial IoT applicationsĀ include the development of simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) and robot navigation software running over a 5G network with industrial AGVs.

    China Mobile’sĀ 5G OpenUPFĀ (User Plane Function) will enable open and flexible 5G deployment in network edge and drive vertical applications. ASTRI is one of the first members to have joined the OpenUPF initiative.

    Intel and ASTRI have been working closely in 5G technology development, including 5G core network, O-RAN development, 5G OpenUPF, and V2X infrastructure technology.Ā TheyĀ have worked together to optimise software and hardware to enable scalable 5G UPF.Ā TheyĀ also combined to deliver aĀ ground-breaking performance of more than 1TbpsĀ 5G UPF data throughput earlier in 2020.

    CITIC Telecom CPC and ASTRI have introduced a jointly developedĀ AR Intelligent MaintenanceĀ solution, designed to transform field engineers’ operations and maintenance processes. ASTRI has also developed an innovativeĀ IoT BlockchainĀ platform that can securely monetise and strategically exploit enormous amounts of IoT data in real-time.

    Lenovo (Beijing) Limited and ASTRI will jointly demonstrateĀ a 5G Smart Mobility solution that combines with ultra-low latency C-V2X communication and 5G edge intelligence to improve road safety and traffic efficiency.
