Brief (coffeeyo.com): At the 23rd China–ASEAN Expo opening September 17 in Nanning, China Mobile Guangxi unveiled its “AI+” pavilion—from cross-border land-and-submarine cables and 5G-A coverage to tea-brewing and coffee robots—turning the booth itself into the expo’s most energetic “attention magnet.”
On September 17, the 23rd China–ASEAN Expo (hereinafter “the Expo”) opened grandly in Nanning, Guangxi. Under the theme “Sharing 3.0 Opportunities, Creating a Better Life,” the Expo focuses on free-trade-zone construction and promotes high-quality regional economic growth.

The reporter learned from China Mobile Guangxi that at this Expo, under the theme “Smart Link to ASEAN, Computing for the Future,” the company presented across three major sectors—communication services, computing services and intelligent services—through frontier-tech demonstrations, key infrastructure achievement displays and industry digital-intelligence solutions, fully releasing the empowering value of “AI+” and digital technology, and building an efficient communication bridge for China–ASEAN digital-economy cooperation.

Connecting through networks, smoothing the ASEAN digital new Silk Road
At the exhibition site, content related to the Nanning International Communication Services Entry-Exit Bureau drew much attention.
According to reports, this bureau is exclusively built by China Mobile Guangxi. As a key node in building a new data land-sea channel, it is the first entry-exit bureau outside the Beijing–Shanghai–Guangzhou region capable of both opening international data dedicated lines and international internet services.
Currently, the main body of the Nanning International Communication Services Entry-Exit Bureau has been completed; once in operation it will greatly reduce cross-border communication latency to ASEAN, with Nanning–Hanoi data transmission speed up nearly 5x, effectively solving the pain point that Guangxi and western regions had to route through Guangzhou and Kunming to reach ASEAN countries.
On land cables, China Mobile Guangxi has built three land cables—China–Vietnam, China–Myanmar, China–Laos—forming four longitudinal sub-channels centered on Nanning: China–Laos–Thailand, China–Myanmar–Thailand, China–Vietnam–Cambodia–Thailand, and Singapore–Malaysia–Thailand. On submarine cables, it is advancing the Beihai–Lingao cable to open a Nanning–Singapore direct cable, forming an international communication infrastructure system that connects to ASEAN at a single point. Land and submarine cables back each other up, effectively attracting clustered development of cross-border cultural tourism, cross-border finance, cross-border medical care and other industries.

Meanwhile, to fortify the communications safeguard line of the grand event, China Mobile Guangxi built the Expo Digital Twin 2.0 on a “one-screen overview, full-scene visibility” foundation, constructing a dynamic intelligent safeguard system across exhibition and transport scenarios—an AI digital “operations officer” relies on a large model for intelligent Q&A and proactive warning push; a video-link perception system builds an on-site video coordination platform; upgraded app speed-testing capability precisely tracks crowd flow and network quality; and a metro digital twin connects exhibition and subway cross-domain data for integrated analysis of people, vehicles and information flow—pushing the Expo network safeguard system from the fully-visible 1.0 era into the fully-intelligent controllable 2.0 era.
Currently, China Mobile Guangxi has built an all-around, three-dimensional, full-link communication coverage system covering five main exhibition halls of the convention center, 34 official reception hotel sub-venues, six major transport hubs and 20 core arterial roads, and completed 3CC technical transformation of the whole convention center, relying on 5G-A technology to effectively solve network congestion and frequency reuse difficulties under heavy-crowd scenarios.

Driven by computing, empowering ASEAN’s hundred industries with new upgrades
Computing infrastructure is the key foundation of the digital economy. At China Mobile’s exhibition area, multiple digital-intelligent application achievements for key industries drew attention.
In the digital construction of the Pinglu Canal, relying on 5G+AI+computing, China Mobile Guangxi joined Pinglu Canal Group to build a smart waterway large model, constructing a communication-computing-intelligence integrated smart canal solution, deploying a 5G-A integrated sensing-communication system, developing a dispatching agent, and landing an integrated communication-computing-intelligence solution, a full air-space-ground coverage shipping perception system, a whole-domain intelligent control system and a full-lifecycle digital twin system—comprehensively raising the canal’s situational awareness, dispatching and operation capability, injecting digital-intelligence momentum into the construction of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor.
In data-center construction, the reporter learned that China Mobile Guangxi has built over 43 data centers across all 14 prefecture-level cities in the region, with total area over 243,000 square meters, planned at over 32,000 racks and export bandwidth over 8T. Among them, the China Mobile (Guangxi Nanning) Data Center runs PUE ≤ 1.3, meeting green low-carbon construction standards.
According to reports, the China Mobile Guangxi Data Center is the region’s largest, with over 15,000 rack resources, capable of undertaking computing and hosting business for large enterprise clients; the Nanning Wuxiang IDC room, Nanning High-Tech IDC room and others adapt to different client business scenarios, providing customized services, value-added services and capability-certification across three sectors, offering personalized rack deployment plans and security protection and operation safeguards such as traffic cleaning and deep managed services according to clients’ actual business scenarios, supporting client business landing from hardware deployment to supporting services.

Worth mentioning, China Mobile’s model-service platform MoMA possesses four capabilities—intelligent model scheduling, computing-network fusion, domestic computing optimization, and security and trustworthiness. The Jiutian security-trustworthy multimodal large model can prevent attacks, foresee hidden risks and trace conclusions, and has landed in three industries—aviation, industry and communications—supporting 120,000 daily business calls in communication scenarios. KnoVa ontology intelligence reaches 20.6 billion ontology-instance scale. The central-enterprise model-data resonance space covers 57 fields, pooling over 1,600 high-quality datasets, innovating a “data authorization into the space, in-domain processing, full-process audit, value-based settlement” model.

Applied with intelligence, smartly nourishing ASEAN’s beautiful new life
The debut of the “AI+ exhibition intelligent agent” also became a focus of on-site attention. Independently integrated by China Mobile Guangxi, it is the country’s first exhibition intelligent agent, covering 24 scenarios such as intelligent customer service, guided tours, meeting arrangement, itinerary planning, intelligent display and intelligent matchmaking, supporting 11 languages, and already put into use at this Expo.

China Mobile Guangxi also displayed innovative achievements such as the “4+N” intelligent network, large-model platform and AI terminals. The “4+N” intelligent network, built on a communication network and computing network as the foundation, constructs four basic networks—agents, intelligent distribution, model services and data linkage—paired with TaaS digital trust services, aggregating multiple capability platforms such as Jiutian MaaS and Wutong DaaS, empowering AI office efficiency internally and exporting capabilities to industries such as energy and manufacturing externally.

On the booth, AI terminals and the Mobile AI Home series covering diverse scenarios such as education, office, family wellness and entertainment attracted many visitors to stop and experience. The AI children’s watch supports precise positioning and HD calls; the AI mouse has eight self-developed office services built in; the Lingxi screen fuses family scenarios such as fitness and wellness. The “Mobile Star Chef” intelligent coffee robot can fully replicate manual coffee-making processes and extend into an unmanned catering-vehicle operation model, adapting to public scenarios such as transport hubs, exhibition halls and parks—full of tech flair.
