China Telecom, Tsinghua University establish Internet technology and application

BEIJING, Mar 12, 2010 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- China Telecom (CHA.NYSE; 00728.HK) and China's Tsinghua University announced on Thursday the establishment of a joint laboratory for next-generation Internet technology and applications.

In the meantime, China Telecom has initiated a business transformation to the next-generation Internet. The joint lab will solve the IPv4 address shortage and offer IPv6 traffic management, route monitoring, and industrial applications, so as to provide practicable solutions to problems that may be confronted during this year's next-generation Internet pilot project.

Wang Xiaochu, general manager of China Telecom, said that developing the next-generation Internet will stimulate the innovation and evolution of China's Internet technology, optimize the industrial structure, and increase its Internet security management.

The emerging Internet of Things has stirred up the third wave of information technology after the computer and Internet.

Industrial experts expect that the Internet of Things will be popularized in ten years. Further, the applicable high-tech market size will surpass trillions of yuan, and range from smart transformation, environmental protection, public security, industry monitoring and logistics to medical treatment. The broad application of the Internet of Things needs the support of networks based on the next-generation Internet. (Edited by Luo Jingjing, luojj@xinhua.org)
