The Center of Excellence aims to gather global intelligence resources to accelerate the innovation and commercialization of digital technologies. The collaboration is expected to have a positive impact on the industry as a whole, given China Telecom’s leading position in global telecom standards and frameworks in the domestic market and the TM Forum.
The core business of the Center of Excellence will focus on four key areas: application innovation, standards environment, project incubation and talent training. By building an open and collaborative global digital ecosystem, the Center of Excellence is committed to facilitating the global technology and standards cycle and injecting new momentum into the development of talent in the digital industry. This comprehensive strategic layout is more conducive to facilitating the complete transformation of digital technology from R&D to application and ultimately to the growth of the industry.
In the future, the Center of Excellence will actively promote the application of cutting-edge technologies such as Open Operating Architecture (ODA), Self-Intelligent Networking (AN), and AI/Network Modeling, with the aim of creating benchmark cases with industry demonstration effects. In addition, the Center of Excellence will actively participate in the discussion and development of TMF standards and stimulate the innovation potential of the industrial ecosystem and accelerate the transformation and application of innovation results through traditional innovation competitions. This means that Centers of Excellence focus not only on technology development, but also on technology implementation and business value realization.
Establishing the Center of Excellence not only deepens the long-standing strategic partnership between China Telecom and the TM Forum, but more importantly, it has created a high-value communications platform to orchestrate the development of the global digital industry. The platform will serve as a critical bridge to connect Chinese innovation with the most advanced international ecosystems and facilitate the sharing and flow of technology, standards and talent from around the world. This open model of collaboration is all the more valuable, especially in the context of the current challenges facing globalization. China Telecom hopes to explore more collaborative opportunities through its outstanding platform to jointly promote the prosperity and development of the global digital ecology and further deepen its cooperation with international organizations.
