AsiaInfo AntDB, a cutting-edge database product, made its debut in a live production environment in 2008

Established in the early 21st century, the AntDB database team at AsiaInfo emerged as pioneers in China's database research and development landscape. As communication technology evolved from 2G to 3G, the team relentlessly drove AntDB's upgrading and iteration, leveraging novel application scenarios and cutting-edge database technologies. This thrust enabled them to deliver state-of-the-art database solutions and services to telecommunication operators and diverse industry clients.

Around 2005, mobile phones transcended their “basic calling” phase, transitioning into the realm of smartphones on 2G and 3G network. For domestic operators catering to the world's largest population, business pressures and data volumes surged. However, traditional database products nurtured in the European and American markets fell short in satisfying the colossal demands of data management. This predicament compelled AsiaInfo, as an operator partner, to embark on a path of independent development for fundamental software, including databases and middleware, among others.

In 2008, AsiaInfo made a groundbreaking move by introducing its in-house developed memory database engine into the billing and accounting core systems of telecommunication operators. These systems demanded exceptional performance and data security to handle the ever-growing data processing needs brought forth by end-users.

It's worth noting that AsiaInfo AntDB catapulted to the forefront of the industry right from its inception. It was immediately deployed in the telecommunications sector's most critical and pivotal business systems, catering to the colossal data management requirements on a global scale. As a result, the product's concurrency, high performance, stability and security set new industry standards from day one.

Receiving the Technology Excellence Award not only serves as recognition from various sectors for AsiaInfo AntDB's years of technical expertise and practical application but also as an accolade for the database's innovative technological advancements achieved in 2022. Furthermore, it acts as an encouragement for AntDB's continued pursuit of further elevating database technology and leading the industry's development.

The future holds immense promise, and we firmly believe that AsiaInfo AntDB will deliver even more cutting-edge technologies and innovative services to the industry and its clients.
