On February 27, 2024, the Broadband Development Congress (BDC), a global broadband industry event hosted by the World Broadband Association (WBBA), met in Barcelona with global cloud-network broadband industry partners. As the core AI basic software provider of the international communication industry chain, DataCanvas was invited to attend this event, and together with global industry pioneers, it is facing the future of scientific and technological innovation opportunities
With the theme of "Network Evolution and Technological Transformation of Operators, Leading the Prosperity of the Broadband Industry", the 2024 Barcelona Broadband Development Conference will provide an in-depth understanding of how network operators can reposition themselves in the wave of digital and intelligent transformation, find the right direction, become explorers and leaders of scientific and technological innovation, and carry out in-depth scientific and technological innovation cooperation with equipment manufacturers to jointly promote the vigorous development of the cloud-network broadband industry.
The World Broadband Association (WBBA) was officially announced on December 9, 2022 and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. WBBA is a non-leading organization and non-profit organization that is global-oriented, industry-led, multilateral, and leading the future development of cloud-network broadband, committed to aggregating the global cloud-network broadband industry chain, bridging the digital divide, and contributing to the realization of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
There are 11 initial members of the WBBA, including China Telecom, Huawei, Nokia, Swisscom, British Telecom, New Zealand Telecom, South Africa Telecom, Omdia and other operators, equipment manufacturers, international organizations and research institutions. At present, the WBBA has developed 75 full members, covering 31 countries; By December 2024, it plans to develop 150 members, covering more than 50 countries.
As an internationally renowned AI basic software provider, DataCanvas has become one of the first batch of official members to join the WBBA by virtue of its cutting-edge AI technology innovation capabilities, leading AI software product strength, and rich AI application experience in the communications industry, and has exported innovative, open, and sustainable AI power for the digital and intelligent upgrade of the global cloud-network broadband industry.
Strengthening cooperation in scientific and technological innovation" is the development focus that the WBBA has always emphasized. As the most important scientific and technological means to promote the progress of global industries, artificial intelligence technology (AI) technology is embedded in the cloud-network broadband industry ecology in a rich, diversified and personalized way, empowering all aspects of it. As the creator of AIFS AI basic software, DataCanvas believes that the cloud-network broadband industry will be one of the most important value amplifiers of AI technology.
The cloud-network broadband industry is an important hub for the integration of technological innovation, plays an important role in bridging the digital divide, and is a necessary digital information infrastructure for digital and intelligent upgrading, especially in the new AI era dominated by large models. The AIFS artificial intelligence basic software of DataCanvas will further bring AI capabilities closer to computing power, and cooperate with ecological partners to develop intelligent computing centers and provide integrated services of "computing power + algorithms", which will be more closely linked with the cloud-network broadband industry and expand the future development space.
For Chinese enterprises, the WBBA is not only an international association to promote the cooperation of the global industrial chain, but also a window to participate in global science and technology governance, contribute China's wisdom, and share China's construction and development experience. As a member of WBBA, DataCanvas will continue to actively participate in the work of WBBA, grasp the opportunity of dialogue with global cutting-edge partners, and reap the win-win results of the digital economy by maintaining the advantages of existing AI technology and amplifying the mutual empowerment with the cloud-network broadband industry.
