The Internet of things will embrace explosive growth

The 2016 world Internet of things expo (hereinafter referred to as "the expo") has ended in wuxi, jiangsu province. The authoritative experts attending the meeting and the relevant heads of government departments believe that after the previous development and accumulation, the Internet of things has ushered in multiple opportunities and is expected to usher in a period of explosive growth.

The development of the Internet of things welcomes multiple opportunities

"Starting this year, there are several new trends in the development of the Internet of things that will bring new opportunities." Wu hequan, academician of the Chinese academy of engineering, said at the 4th meeting of the inter-ministerial construction coordination group of wuxi national sensor network innovation demonstration zone.

The first is the birth of the international nb-iot standard. Wu explained that it was difficult to develop the Internet of things in the past, because more than 60% of the low-rate sensor applications did not have appropriate transmission means, wifi and bluetooth connections were unreliable, and the transmission distance was short, coverage was narrow, and it was not economical to use optical fiber and mobile communication. The nb-iot standard was approved in June in busan, South Korea, to address this bottleneck.

Wu further explained that the nb-iot has four characteristics: first, wide coverage, coverage capacity is 100 times better than the current mobile communications, penetration, can cover the underground garage; Second, the large connection, a cellular sector of mobile communication, than the number of traditional mobile communication support terminal 50 times to 100 times; Third, low power consumption. One battery can make the Internet of things module work for ten years. Fourth, low cost, the chip cost target is down to $1.

The second is that the era of 5G is accelerating. The Internet of things requires both a narrow band network and a high-speed network. During the expo, several academicians mentioned that 5G technology will gradually mature and be put into trial operation in the next two to three years. 5G is designed to support one million Internet of things terminals per square kilometer, which will greatly expand the application of the Internet of things and promote the deep integration of the Internet of things and the mobile Internet.

At the expo, China mobile compared the smart driving technology in the 5G era with that in the 4G era. The reporter saw on the scene, under the 4G condition, the driverless vehicle running slowly, the brake and two intersection reaction time is long; Under the condition of 5G, the speed is obviously improved, and the brake is faster and more sensitive. Network speed is closely related to the safety factor of unmanned driving.

Once again, the Internet of things began to enter the era of application dominated by enterprises. "The Internet of things is not the future, it's a reality." "Now many big companies are moving into the Internet of things, such as samsung. From next year, all their electronic devices will become devices on the Internet of things."

Wu said many large enterprises at home and abroad are looking to the Internet of things as a new business growth point. Abroad, Google entered the Internet of things with a high-profile $3.2 billion purchase of a smoke sensor company. In China, huawei, zte, China electricity science, lenovo, digital China and the three major telecom operators all take smart cities based on Internet of things technology as the main strategic direction of the group.

In addition, the rapid development of the Internet of vehicles is expected to drive the development of the Internet of things. Wu said that the car itself is the node of the Internet of things, which is redefining the car. A good car has hundreds of sensors. Self-driving cars are a concentrated manifestation of the integration of Internet of things, mobile Internet, cloud computing and big data technologies with advanced automotive technologies. The rapid development of the current hot Internet of vehicles is expected to take the development of the Internet of animals.

Manufacturing transformation requires the Internet of things to be embedded

"The Internet of things will have a more extensive and profound impact on human production and life with its disruptive changes and comprehensive penetration. It injects new genes into economic development and provides new tools for social governance; It brings great convenience to people's clothing, food, housing, transportation, education and medical treatment, and also brings subversion and innovation to manufacturing, marketing services and business models. It brings about a structural reshaping of space and time for everything in the physical world, as well as profound changes in the way people think, think and behave."

Li qiang, secretary of the party committee of jiangsu province, explained his understanding of the Internet of things (iot) when delivering a keynote speech at the world Internet of things (iot) summit held in wuxi during the expo. In the eyes of the new party secretary of jiangsu, the industrial powerhouse whose industrial value added ranks first in the country, the Internet of things has become an important strategic fulcrum to leverage economic transformation.

"Since the reform and opening up, jiangsu's economy has undergone two major transformations. The second is to develop an open economy and achieve a transformation from the inside out. A third transformation is now under way. The Internet of things is a priority for this transition and a major strategic choice."

At present, China is in a critical period of economic transformation, and the traditional manufacturing industry is in urgent need of a more high-end. A number of authoritative experts at the meeting also believe that the opportunity period of Internet of things development and economic transition happened to meet, is a rare opportunity. Seizing this opportunity can not only promote the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry towards intelligent manufacturing, but also trigger the explosive growth of the Internet of things industry.

'the concept of the Internet of things was first proposed by americans, but it is China that is really driving the development of the Internet of things,' said you zheng, an academician at the Chinese academy of engineering. In terms of the whole Internet of things industry, China leads the world. If we can promote the Internet of things "+" made in China, it will help further consolidate China's existing position in the field of Internet of things.

The "Internet of things + made in China 2025" sub-forum was held at the world Internet of things wuxi summit. To this, academician of Chinese academy of sciences ding han thinks highly of. He said: "manufacturing strong, can be strong industry; Strong industry makes a strong country. The big ship, the Internet of things, should be used to lift manufacturing up."

After the previous development and accumulation, China has formed a relatively complete industrial chain including chips and components, equipment, software, system integration, telecom operations, Internet of things services and so on. Statistics from the ministry of industry and information technology show that China's iot industry reached 750 billion yuan in 2015, with a compound annual growth rate of 25% during the 12th five-year plan period. The Internet of things is also increasingly widely used, with a market scale of tens of billions of yuan in such fields as transportation, logistics, environmental protection, health care, security and defense, and power grid.

Most of the professionals attending the meeting believed that China has a good development foundation in the field of Internet of things, and the development of the Internet of things also ushered in a new round of opportunities, is entering a new development stage, and this new development opportunity period and the industrial transformation period just overlap, is not far from the explosive growth of the Internet of things.
