The latest scientific research achievements on deterministic networking and 6G were released at the sixth Future Network Development Conference on August 24 in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, according to a Xinhua report.

Purple Mountain Laboratories, a key innovation platform in networking and communications, announced a major breakthrough in wide-area deterministic network systems.

The wide-area deterministic network system covering 35 Chinese cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Nanjing, simulates China's high-speed rail system and can achieve zero data packet loss and low latency, said Xinhua.

The system is expected to help empower digital economy applications such as telemedicine and intelligent and connected vehicles (ICVs), said Liu Yunjie, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering, at the conference.

A computing network operating system and a 6G wireless transmission test platform were also showcased during the conference. The 6G platform can greatly improve wireless transmission technology compared to 5G.

Featuring up-to-date network technologies, the two-day online and offline conference has attracted more than 1,000 attendees including experts and enterprise representatives from China Mobile, China Telecom and Huawei, Xinhua reported.
