Global IPv6 Summit 2018 Convened
Technology Iteration Brought New Opportunities for Digital Economy Development

HANGZHOU, May 21-22, 2018 -- "Global IPv6 Summit 2018" (IPv6.conference.cn) was held inHangzhou, China. This summit was hosted by the Global IPv6 Forum, BII-CFIEC and ZHEJIANG
Lab, co-hosted by the CHINA INFO 100, WASU Group and Binjiang District Government.

At present, the development of the global NGI is facing a major turning point. The large-scale
deployment of the future Internet based on IPv6 will bring a rare historical opportunity for theinnovation of Internet system and support the rapid development of cutting-edge
technologies and industries, such as mobile Internet, Internet of Things, industrial Internet
and 5G. Therefore, it will help the global digital economy flourish.

Academician Dai Hao emphasized that during the development of the NGI, China should
highlight the development of network security and master core technologies. Academician
Ding Wenhua said that the NGI would bring greater social and economic effects and it would
promote the internationalization of Chinese enterprises. All industries and industries should
actively and rapidly promote IPv6 deployment at the nodes of the network technology
iteration. Academician Yu Quan believed that in the era of interconnection of all things, a clear
identification system and massive data would inevitably bring about revolutionary changes toeveryone's production and life. Academician Yin Hao analyzed the development trend of thenetwork from the network and application level and stated that the development of the NGI
was not only about technology iteration, but far-reaching social and economic effects. It would
lay a solid foundation for the development of China’s digital economy. .

NGI Brings New Opportunities for the Development in Asia-Pacific Region

At the Global IPv6 Summit, near 10 regional Internet IPv6 NGI leaders from APNIC, China,Japan, India, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Central Asia Education andResearch Network also gathered in Hangzhou to discuss the industrial development andopportunities of IPv6 in Asia-Pacific Region and share practical experience in innovation anddevelopment.

Pacific"

Liu Dong, director of the BII-CFIEC, said that we were more than users of the Internet, butcontributors, participants, and leaders of the Internet. Other representatives of theconference also expressed that the promotion of the scale deployment of IPv6 NGI would
inevitably bring rare historical opportunities and challenges to the Internet architecture andinnovation. In terms of business applications, security management and domain nameresolution, there were great opportunities for innovation and development in the Asia-Pacificregion. Utilizing the NGI to enhance the transformation of traditional industries would
comprehensively increase industrial efficiency, promote industrial innovation and drive theoverall development of society. The NGI can accelerate the informatization in the Asia-Pacificregion and realize leap-forward development in data, knowledge, technology, education andtechnology.

IPv6 is Just the Starting Point. NGI is the Platform for the Integration and Development ofnew Technologies.

Latif Ladid, chairman of the IPv6 Forum, said at the meeting that the TCP/IP protocol was thecornerstone of the development of the Internet. IPv6 fundamentally solved the problem of
insufficient network addresses and was the basic protocol of the NGI. However, IPv6 is just thestarting point. The NGI is an open, inclusive, and innovative technology system and a platformfor the development of new technologies. Zhou Hongren, executive deputy director ofAdvisory Committee for State Informatization, firmly believed that the development of global
information technology would emerge a new major turning point and formed a new stage ofdevelopment of global information technology.

At this summit, many technical experts from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Chinese
Academy of Sciences, China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, China UnionPay shared
their opinion on the NGI key infrastructure and SDN/NFV, 5G and blockchain technologies andthe NGI integration aspect. The NGI is constantly breaking new ground and developing in
integrated ways. In addition, at the same time, the summit also hosts several special events,
such as the signing ceremony of the IPv6 Forum and BII Group, IPv6 Distinguished Youth Award
Ceremony, they received widespread attention from the industry.

As Liu Dong, the chairman of the conference and director of BII-CFIEC, said in his speech,“Today, we gather in Hangzhou in the name of the NGI. It is because we have clearly realizedthat the IPv6-based global Internet change, great development, great integration, and great
governance have become irreversible development trends. We are witnessing, experiencing
and promoting the advent of the NGI era."
