SDN/NFV Summit: Transforming and Commercializing Network Core Technology

Under the wave of global network transformation, the technical ideas initiated by SDN/NFV, including network opening, virtualization, fusion and intellectualization, have received more widely recognition from the industry. After 10 years of rapid development, SDN/NFV has gradually formed its shape, and there are endless solutions serving SDN/NFV as the core technology.

This GNTC conference will set up separate SDN summit and NFV summit, invite international organizations and experts of open source projects including MEF, ONF, OPNFV, CORD, ONAP etc. to focus on technical hot topics such as controller and SD-WAN and have practical experience in network deployment shared. Meanwhile, the inaugurator of SDN, Professor Nick McKeown from Stanford University, will also be at the conference to share his insights. 

Network Security Summit: The Era of Great Security, Network Security Admits of No Delay

In the great security era, network security industry, network security situation and network security strategy are undergoing tremendous changes. In June this year, China’s first comprehensive basic law, Network Security Law, to regulate the network space security management was formally promulgated which is of far-reaching significance in protecting China’s network security.  

In GNTC 2017 network security summit, representatives and experts from domestic and foreign network security enterprises will share and display the development trend of global network security, the latest security protection technology and results, hot security topics and so forth.

Global Internet Infrastructure Forum: “Golden Age” is Coming, How to Get Through the “Last Mile” of IPv6?

In recent years, the number of users and traffic of IPv6 is growing rapidly; the next generation internet development is entering its golden age. According to Google, up to now, global IPv6 traffic has accounted for 20% of total internet traffic, while the figure in the United States has reached 35% and that is higher in Belgium (51.4%). As one of the earliest countries in the world to conduct IPv6 research and development and application, our country has lots of first mover advantages in the deployment and practice of IPv6. In the Global Internet Infrastructure Forum of GNTC 2017, you will listen to guest speakers to share their latest and most complete next generation internet best practices and discover how to get through the “last mile”.

5G Summit: Ready to go, How Far is 5G from Landing

Every social revolution or economic transformation is accompanied by technological innovation and breakthroughs. In the 5G era, boundaries will be infinitely broadened, unmanned driving, robot application and other newly emerged technologies will collaborate and work together to build a broader and more powerful platform through 5G to push humanity closer towards intelligent life. At present, a number of countries around the world have released 5G roadmap, plan to determine technical standards in the next five years and achieve commercialization of 5G. However, for China, who has growing discourse power in the field of communication in recent years, 5G is a must-not-miss opportunity of the times. At the 5G summit in GNTC 2017, many key and significant guests will share the standard making results and the latest deployment scenario cases with us.  

NB-IoT Summit: NB-IoT Outbreak Period, Opening Up the New Space for Internet of Things

The narrow band internet of things has become an important branch of the Internet of Things. Different from all 10MHz or 20MHz bandwidth applying standard LTE, the construction of NB-IoT is based on cellular network which only consumes about 180KHz bandwidth. It can be directly deployed in the GSM network, UMTS network or LTE network in order to reduce deployment costs and achieve a smooth upgrade. At GNTC 2017, the three major operators, solution providers, user units et cetera will gather together at the NB-IoT summit to share technology landing scheme and jointly lead the development trend of the industry.

Cloud and Data Center Summit: Opportunities and Challenges in Digital Transformation

The digital transformation of the industry is accelerating the clouded enterprise data center, however, data center network, as the footstone cloud construction, faces challenges like complex architecture design, long deployment cycle, difficult fault location and so forth which are important restricting factors for the digital transformation of the industry. At the GNTC 2017 conference, representatives from BATJ and other enterprises will gather together at the Cloud and Data Center Summit to share the opportunities and challenges they have encountered during their application deployment.

Edge Network & Edge Computing Summit: Network Edge Intelligence Has Become an Important Trend of Network Technology

According to the latest statistics report by IDC, it is estimated that by 2020 there will be over 50 billion terminals and devices connected to the network. With the large amount of devices accessing the IoT, when the massive data generated on the terminal equipment provide commercial values, they will also challenge the data processing and the network edge intellectualization will become an important development trend. At the Edge Network and Edge Computing Summit in the GNTC 2017, there will be industrial leaders from all over the world to discuss the development of edge network and edge computing, tracking MEC and other popular trends as well as to share the latest solutions.

To display cutting-edge technologies and dialogue industry elites, the 2017 GNTC Global Network Technology Conference sincerely invites all of you to come to participate and jointly embrace the new era of network featured “new technology, new architecture, and new network”. The website of this conference is www.theGNTC.com. We look forward to your participation.
