Ray Le Maistre, TelecomTV (00:05):
So we are in Dublin. It's the fyuz 24 show and I'm here with Maggie Chao, she's deputy director at iTri from Taiwan. So Maggie, great to see you again. Thanks very much for joining to see us. Nice again. So tell us why you were FUSE this year and what you are hearing at this show.

Maggie Chao, ITRI (00:24):
Okay. This is our first time to join fyuz as you know that the Taiwan government trying to promote open rent for decades, for several years. And we established a lab, it's a 5G open network now. So it's a carrier grade end-to-end integration with both S eight and LSA indoor testing environment. The reason that why we like to establish this lab is that we try to provide the qualified solution to the ecosystem partners. And as you know, the beauty of the open ran is to provide a diversity of supply chain. So the interoperability is very important. So that's the key why. This is our first step to establish that. And in the first beginning with this platform that we work very closely with our local ecosystem. For example, we have the vendors to enhance their capability via the testing. We also work closely with the operators, local operators so that we can realize what's their requirement or expectation field testing.

(01:30):
And we know that we can just do it within our region. So we try to reach out to the global ecosystem and that's why we joined TIP because our lab is also one of the TIP committee lab that we can conduct Beijing program. So what we can offer is that we can offer a testing service for the open Rain R open wifi and DCSG. So as of now we already support a Taiwanese company to award these tip pages. And starting from this year we think that we need to cooperate with some more labs. So that's why we joined TIPis a reason that TIP can help us to reach out to different labs or different operators or defenders.

(02:21):
Okay. Yeah. So I think this February we announcement and mobile congress that Ichi and TIA from US government, the I 41 labs from Germany and Sonic Lab from uk, that four of us, the government testing lab will join forces to follow that collaboration. And the reason that we joined the fields this time is we're trying to share our experience. We always talk about the lab collaboration but just talk. But this year we really did something that we have MOU with Sonic that and I 41 with different topic. So we want to share our appearance. So we joined fields and we also joined a panel yesterday to share our appearance and we learn a lot of feedback. I think this is very good to join this kind of event that we can, as I just mentioned to you earlier, the networking, the socializing is very important, but we also get a lot of feedback, what we can do, what we can collaborate more. So that's the major reason we are here. Okay.

Ray Le Maistre, TelecomTV (03:30):
So you are already collaborating, working with other labs around the world, but there's more partnerships that you are looking to do, is that right?

Maggie Chao, ITRI (03:38):
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. We cannot do it alone.

Ray Le Maistre, TelecomTV (03:41):
Yes, absolutely. And Itri, the only organization from Taiwan here at this year's Fuse. There's quite a number of companies here. Can you tell us about that?

Maggie Chao, ITRI (03:53):
Yeah, so actually the reason that we would like to do this kind of thing is that we have a very strong hardware ecosystem in Taiwan and in the past time it's always it's us I tree coming out to demonstrate what our lab is, what current needs is. But we really think that if our company can present by themself to let more customer or more partners know about that it'll be better. So we discussed with T and we decided to organize the Taiwan affiliate and fields this time.

Ray Le Maistre, TelecomTV (04:30):
So

Maggie Chao, ITRI (04:30):
This time we bring five Taiwanese company. So covering from the open transport, open rate and security. So we're very happy about this combination because it's kind of what open networking is and it's also showing up that what we can present the end-to-end solutions to our global partners.

Ray Le Maistre, TelecomTV (04:52):
Okay. And are you able to tell us about these different companies?

Maggie Chao, ITRI (04:57):
Yeah, so we have five companies. The first one is UFI Space. So UFI Space, they are the open the profile open networking solutions, UV space present their next generation 800 GG lineup. So they offering the high speed, low latency networking infrastructure designed for data centers and telecom sectors. So the solutions are engineered to support growth of AI and machine learning, application and accounting six G egg drop. So this is about the HUV space and there is another open transport companies called H Core. So H CORE is fairly me work very closely with T. So from our lab they also get a page about the DCSG and the open wifi. So they're quite familiar with the global partners and corp. Yes, they are the pioneer of open networking solution provider with the full portfolio of routing and switching platforms. So they have been one of the first open networking adopter and they are a part of TIP working together the messaging to transforming the way that the world can connect. So it's a wholly own subset of technology cooperation and the leading network ODM in Taiwan. So H Corp provides fully integrate AI and turnkey networking solutions with hardware, software, transceivers and mix for AI cluster and cloud data centers. And there is another one called GREs, actually you may familiar with HTC

(06:47):
Cell phone companies and GHTC is a famous cell phone company and then they are very good at their ar vr, the contents. And I think it's very interesting that they try to promote their vr, ar vr. So they profile their own 5G network solutions with this kind of content. So this one is a very seamless one. So Julian is focused on the base van unit software development and the optimization instead of the general purpose of 5G network, JIRA dedicate to highly customized the 5G network solution to fulfill the enterprise use case requirement and even beyond the customer's expectation. So what I just mentioned about the beauty of joining this event is that Julian just filled out new customers here. There are some big customer ing and realize, oh you are also provide the 5G solutions. So I think that is a very good way that why we need to bring the companies to use this event.

(07:53):
And there is another one is QCT one. So QCT one is the software company provide secure solutions. So security is the key accelerator for or development and AI and master learning application will bring known risk into the O networks. So QCT one, secure rank solution protect volunteer belief from the new or attack phase and help build reliability networks during the operational stage. QCT is a total infrastructure solution provider offering the end-to-end solution ranging from 5G AI to cloud technology. So QCT has flexibility, hardware infrastructures, beautiful AI and 5G workload to support open range as the demonstration. So with the strong capability of these size engineering, manufacturing, supply chain and close relationship with NVIDIA, Intel, AMD QCT could be the best partner on the journey in open ran. So low side of five companies that I would bring in here.

Ray Le Maistre, TelecomTV (09:04):
Okay, well a really interesting broad range of technologies there and a few names that I think people a fuse here will already know. But of course like you say, it's always good to meet and talk in person whenever possible.

Maggie Chao, ITRI (09:20):
Yes, definitely, definitely.

Ray Le Maistre, TelecomTV (09:21):
Okay Maggie, great to see you again. Thanks very much for joining us today. Thank you.

Maggie Chao, ITRI (09:25):
Thank you.
