In May of this year, recognizing the disparity between general big models and the needs of vertical industries, as well as the scarcity of methods and tools for customers to deploy such models, AsiaInfo zeroed in on “platform, model, and tools.” By comprehensively considering factors such as industry specificity, data security, overall costs, and continuous iteration, the company introduced the Yuansi Industry Foundation Model and multiple cognitive enhancement tools, effectively bridging the “last mile” for the application of specialized big models in sectors like telecommunications, energy sources, expressway, etc.

The 5G private network product series stands as a quintessential example of AsiaInfo's dedication to empowering the digital intelligence transformation of vertical industries. These products have earned China Telecom ecloud certification and are now available for purchase on its Selection Mall. AsiaInfo offers vertical industries end-to-end, one-stop services encompassing 5G private network planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and integration, serving a diverse clientele across telecommunications, nuclear energy, wind energy, mining, transportation, and other industries.

The “Industry Empowerment” exhibition area seamlessly aligned with customers' business scenarios, showcasing a range of solutions and practices, including “intelligent planning” for frontline marketing and promotion by telecommunications operators, “intelligent order allocation” to assist provincial companies in managing order allocation information, “intelligent quotation” systems for sales in government and enterprise sectors, “intelligent billing shield” for automated monitoring and localization of billing system faults, “Wukong Q&A” for automated tariff consultation, “cloud network intelligent operation brain” for cloud network operation and maintenance assistance, as well as consulting and planning, supply and marketing management, data analysis and operation, smart mining, power plant safety monitoring, etc.
