NetDragon Collaborates with China Mobile Communications Corporation Government and Enterprise Service Company to Promote "5G+ Smart Education"

In recent years, 5G network development and construction has been reported frequently, with innovative applications emerging one after another, and it was the focus of global exhibitors, guests and media at Mobile World Congress 2019. In particular, CMGESC released the "5G+" industry plan and latest 5G products at the main forum of its "5G+ Industry Planning Conference". On the other hand, the 5G industry digitalization league and sub-leagues were also established. Furthermore, CMGESC signed the strategic cooperation framework agreement with partners in the education industry, including NetDragon Huayu Education, TAL Education and Talkweb. According to the agreement, NetDragon Huayu Education will cooperate with CMGESC in areas of industry application, exploration and research of innovation, communication capability, smart terminal equipment and brand building. Leveraging on China Mobile's platform and capability in big data analysis, together with NetDragon's products including Promethean interactive panels and smart classroom, NetDragon and CMGESC will kick off cooperation on smart education software and hardware, in order to provide a one-stop smart campus solution. Meanwhile, NetDragon will integrate China Mobile's advanced 5G technology to create 5G content and to provide advanced 5G+ VR/AR education and training programs.

Dr. Xiong Li, CEO of NetDragon remarked that the innovation in education is accelerating with the advent of the 5G era. While current education products are to be upgraded by the merge of new technologies, 5G can also further enrich the current education model. For instance, AR technology and holographic display will play a more important role in education environments. Not only does the advancement provide students an interactive AR learning tool and environment, but also makes the learning process more realistic and practical, improves the teaching quality, and eventually leads to fairer and higher-quality education.

At the "5G Empowers Education . Intelligence Brightens the Future" education sub-forum, Dr. Xiong Li, CEO of NetDragon, participated in the round-table sharing session and discussed the extensive application of "5G+ Smart Education" with industry experts.

In terms of education technology, 5G will allow NetDragon to improve its research and development capabilities on AI, VR/AR, education cloud management, education big data and other technologies, to improve the quality of NetDragon's education content and products, and to better serve global education users. On education content, the integration of 5G and NetDragon's high-quality 3D/VR teaching resources is going to significantly enhance user experience. Finally, with regard to education service, with the support of 5G technology, "101 Education PPT", NetDragon's lesson preparation and delivery software, can enable educators to conduct live teaching and interaction with tens of thousands students; whereas "VR Mysticraft", NetDragon VR editing software, can enable teachers, students and content creators to easily produce and share VR education resources, and hence promote the popularity of VR education.
