During the 2023 China Mobile Global Partner Conference, Intel, in collaboration with China Mobile Communications Group Co., Ltd. Chengdu Industrial Research Institute Branch (hereinafter referred to as China Mobile Chengdu Research Institute), jointly released the "China Mobile Chengdu Research Institute adopts Intel ® The white paper "Empowering Smart Medical Transformation with Technology to Build Edge Fusion Computing Power Network Solutions" provides a detailed introduction to how China Mobile Research Institute and Intel have innovatively collaborated based on Intel NetSec acceleration cards to jointly launch edge fusion computing power network solutions for the medical industry, accelerating the digital transformation of the medical industry and assisting in the construction of smart healthcare.

Vice President of Intel Marketing Group Zhuang Binghan, General Manager of Data Center Sales in China and General Manager of Operator Sales in China, stated: Medical and health care is crucial to everyone's well-being, and Intel regards it as one of its important missions. Through cooperation with China Mobile Research Institute in the field of edge computing networks, we have provided innovative technologies to medical institutions to help them achieve intelligent digital transformation. In the future, Intel looks forward to working with more ecological partners to benefit thousands of industries with technological power and accelerate the pace of digital transformation

In the process of digital transformation, the healthcare industry faces many challenges, including:

• edge computing platforms need to integrate more and more security loads, resulting in significant performance consumption;

• To meet the construction requirements of edge fusion computing power networks, the deployment and operation costs are high, and it is urgent to achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement;

• In the scenario of medical consortia, it is difficult for different systems and architectures to interact on the same computing power plane, and there are difficulties in data exchange;

• To meet the rapidly growing dynamic resource demand in the construction of smart hospitals, edge platforms need to provide sufficient scalability;

• In applications such as AI assisted diagnosis and treatment, cloud edge computing lacks collaborative capabilities, making it difficult to meet the needs of practical applications.

In response to the pain points in the above industries, Intel has collaborated with China Mobile Research Institute to create a platform based on Intel ® The edge fusion computing power network solution for NetSec accelerator card reference design. This solution innovatively transfers network elements such as data security, network security, and software defined wide area network (SD-WAN) to edge computing power cards for operation, achieving offloading of network data, enabling network connectivity between various computing resources, and providing key computing gateway functions. This deployment method, supported by 5G networks, can provide rich network real-time data and real-time data probes for computing power brains, while also providing a cloud native northbound interface to achieve real-time scheduling and orchestration of computing power and networks.

Based on this plan, China Mobile Chengdu Research Institute is targeting medical industry scenarios, focusing on central computing power nodes, network edge computing network nodes, and medical edge computing network nodes, to create a pilot edge fusion computing power network. The pilot scenarios mainly include AI assisted diagnosis and treatment, medical data direct reporting, and rapid deployment of edge cloud network scenarios, which can help users achieve collaborative scheduling of computing power, provide strong integrated computing power support for industry users, and support the efficient operation of AI reasoning, image data processing, data analysis, and other applications.

The leaders of China Mobile Research Institute stated that through cooperation with Intel, we have developed an edge fusion computing power network solution. While reducing complexity and cost, we have achieved efficient collaboration of computing infrastructure such as central computing power nodes and network edge computing network nodes, providing high-performance, scalable, and highly agile edge computing power, and assisting in the intelligent transformation of various industries.

Through this cooperation, both parties not only promoted the construction process of new information and communication infrastructure in the medical industry, but also assisted in the upgrading and development of the medical information industry. In the future, Intel will continue to focus on technological innovation, and through the super technological power of computing, connectivity, infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and sensing and perception, we will work together with ecological partners to provide stronger and more flexible solutions for thousands of industries, including the medical industry, to help build a more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable digital future.
