It is licensed by the Engineering Council UK to assess candidates for inclusion on ECUK's Register of professional Engineers. (CAS-IOA), one of China's foremost institute for leading research in such domains as high performance networking communications. The R&D partnership, which unites 6WIND's IP-agnostic expertise and networking software with the experience and development skills of CAS-IOA's IPv6 competence team and PhD researchers, seals the commitment of 6WIND to strengthen relations and support with Chinese partners and industry players in the country's bid to implement China's New Generation Internet (CNGI CNGI China Next Generation Internet ). "The CNGI project, once fully deployed, will be the largest IPv6 network in the world, showcasing China's leadership in the New Internet See Web 2.0 and Internet2. communications and services. CAS-IOA is very proud to be involved in this historical implementation. With 6WIND's close cooperation and networking software intelligence in IP networking, we aim to develop avant-garde user applications that will contribute to China's position as a net-centric communications powerhouse of the 21st century," said Professor Hou Zhiqiang, third president of CAS-IOA and Chief Scientist of China Netcom China Netcom, full name China Netcom Group Corporation (Hong Kong) Limited, abbreviated CNC, was originally formed in August 1999 by the People's Republic of China government to enable inward investments to build high speed Internet communications in the country. , also popularly known as the father of China broadband IP technology. "6WIND is honoured to be a development partner of CAS-IOA in achieving this important milestone for China's ambitious and maturing ICT (1) (Information and Communications Technology) An umbrella term for the information technology field.

The collaboration will not only facilitate knowledge exchange and technology transfer for both sides, but also accelerate the industrialization industrialization Process of converting to a socioeconomic order in which industry is dominant. The changes that took place in Britain during the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and 19th century led the way for the early industrializing nations of western Europe and and commercialization of home-grown IP-centric Chinese products and services over the coming years," said Patrick Cocquet, chairman and co-founder of 6WIND. Cocquet, who is also President of the IPv6 Task Force France, Vice Chairman of the China IPv6 Council and member of the French Government's ICT Strategic Advisory Board, added that the collaboration reinforces and exemplifies cooperation in a key ICT domain where important bi-lateral relations between China and France is being encouraged at the highest level to benefit both countries' competitive standing. 6WIND has been actively involved in China's plan to deploy the new internet as a member of 6TNet's steering committee steer·ing committee n.
