Alibaba Cloud's Ding Xianfeng: In the 5G era, people and the world interact in more diverse ways

The 2019 Jiwei Semiconductor Summit was held in Haicang, Xiamen. At the 5G theme forum held in the morning, Ding Xianfeng, chief scientist of Alibaba Cloud IoT, said in his speech that 5G will make the way people interact with the world more diverse in the future. At the same time, it will also bring challenges to the aggregation of distributed computing capabilities.

Ding Xianfeng said that in terms of 2C, the ways of interaction between people and the world will become more diverse, and mobile phones are just one of them. In the future, the interaction between people and machines will be ubiquitous and more natural. This will bring more diversified products, more diverse applications, etc., which will bring benefits to consumers.

In the 2B field, there is also diversification. With the diversification of human interaction and low latency, the distance between front-end perception and cloud computing will be shortened, and a large amount of calculation will be required. The arrival of the 5G era is not only about cloud computing, but also a ubiquitous technology.

Ding Xianfeng pointed out that with the arrival of 5G, we need to consider how to aggregate computing power scattered in various places. In the future, the core network will be fully cloud-based. After comprehensive optimization, computing and communication will be integrated, and computing data can be directly used for cloud computing. Interaction is the computer, and the interactive computer room and the cloud computer room are together. How to aggregate computing power and storage capacity in the cloud is very important. The 2B end will change China's software industry in the next 20 years.

Ding Xianfeng believes that China needs to move from a cost-driven economy to an innovation-driven economy in order to overcome the middle-class trap. Ding Xianfeng believes that Huawei is a model for Chinese technology companies to learn from.

"Huawei invested in 5G long before the industry took off, and the same is true for it. We have been working on it for many years. We bet on the business model right once, but wrong the second time. However, betting on technology is predictable, and we must bet on the right technological trends. Therefore, we must invest unswervingly driven by technology. This is the case for companies such as Intel, Qualcomm, and NXP," said Ding Xianfeng.
