The Future Network Development Conference has been held for ten consecutive years and is an important platform to discuss the strategic layout of new generation communication networks.
China News Service, Nanjing, October 16 (Reporter Xu Shanshan) On October 16, the 10th Future Network Development Conference, hosted by the Nanjing Municipal People's Government and hosted by Purple Mountain Laboratory, China Communications Society and other units, opened at the Shangqinhuai International Cultural Exchange Center in Nanjing. The theme of the conference is "Intelligent Future Network·Ten-Year CENI Road - Shaping the Intelligent Base and Industrial Ecology of the New Generation of Communication Networks". Liu Yunjie, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and You Xiaohu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, released three major scientific research results.
The three achievements are: deterministic network-based intelligent agent interconnection platform AXP, satellite Internet network control system and on-orbit application, and optimization design methods and practices of terahertz communication photoelectric conversion devices. Among them, the AXP platform can realize registration and access of millions of agents, achieve second-level fault-aware switching, and hundreds of milliseconds-level semantic addressing response, effectively reducing the end-to-end task execution time by more than 20%. The satellite Internet networking control system has been implemented and deployed in the engineering system, successfully controlling the on-orbit networking operation of hundreds of satellites, achieving sub-second establishment of business dedicated lines and hundreds of milliseconds recovery of inter-satellite routing failures. In terms of terahertz communication photoelectric conversion devices, Purple Mountain Laboratory independently developed a chip with a 3dB bandwidth up to 236GHz. Based on this chip, D-band dual-polarization 100Gbps air interface transmission is achieved.
At the same time, the conference released ten innovative scenarios for future networks, selected from the three dimensions of network transformation, factor supply, and industry empowerment, which have been implemented in actual scenarios such as scientific research, meteorology, transportation, and industry. This year is the tenth year of the Future Network Development Conference. The overall number of participants in the conference exceeded 3,000. Academicians from the two academies, the world's top scientists, heads of leading operators and equipment manufacturers gathered together. At the main forum, several academicians gave keynote speeches focusing on the strategic layout of the country's new generation communications network.
At the ecological cooperation site, Purple Mountain Laboratory signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with China Mobile, and jointly carried out 6G industrial ecological cooperation with Jiangning Development Zone, Nanjing Innovation Investment Group and other units. The "Future Computing Network Scheduling Alliance" welcomed its third batch of members, and Jiangsu Future Network Group signed a collective contract with 20 computing power companies. An exhibition of future network innovation technologies and achievements will be held simultaneously during the conference, focusing on displaying innovative achievements, cutting-edge technologies and new industry formats in the field.
The 140th Canton Fair opened in Guangzhou on the 16th, bringing together more than 30,000 companies. "Black technology" products such as service robots and AI interactive equipment at the exhibition are favored by merchants at home and abroad. Many innovative products were launched and attracted buyers to negotiate purchases.

Hong Kong's Embodied AI International Applications Hub opened at the HKPC Building in Kowloon Tong, offering simulated real-world environments for companies to test and optimize robotic designs. Officials said the hub supports national initiatives in embodied AI and robotics, enabling mainland manufacturers to train for international scenarios locally.

German financial media Handelsblatt reported that Germany plans to sign a wide-ranging cooperation agreement with the American chip company Huida. It will be announced at the "Invest in Germany" conference to be held in Berlin next week. The agreement involves hundreds of millions of euros of investment and aims to promote the application of physical AI tools and high-performance AI models in German industry. With the SOOFI project as the core, the German government has not yet responded.

At the Shanghai International Industry Fair, new startup Landau Technology low-key displayed a prototype of EUV lithography equipment for advanced process wafers. The company focuses on core semiconductor technologies and is currently actively recruiting talent, but remains silent on equipment details.
