ICT China / PT Expo is a long-running Beijing-based ICT industry exhibition founded in 1990 that combines a large trade-show floor with the “ICT China” forum and related industry activities, and in recent editions it has treated digital humans as a practical interface layer for telecom-AI convergence rather than a standalone entertainment novelty, positioning AI-generated presenters, service avatars, and “digital self” calling features alongside 5G messaging, cloud and XR entertainment, and other “smart life” demonstrations that operators and vendors use to show how network capabilities translate into consumer and enterprise services. Within this framing, “New Calling” (5G新通话) is promoted as a carrier-grade pathway for digital-human interactions in real-time communications, including demonstrations and case evaluations that describe an AI-generated “another me” style of digital-human calling based on a user’s facial traits for interactive voice/video scenarios. At the same time, the show is used to signal roadmap ambitions beyond current deployments, with recent coverage pairing interactive digital-human showcases with forward-leaning infrastructure narratives such as satellite internet and 6G-oriented “fully realistic” digital human demonstrations, reinforcing the event’s role as a venue where digital humans are presented as a network-enabled service endpoint shaped by operator platforms, standards evolution, and next-generation connectivity.
