The telecommunications industry has entered the IoT platform and applications

The global development of the Internet of Things has just started, and all parties in the industry chain have the opportunity to compete for the leader. Telecom operators entering the Internet of Things must find their own positioning. If they cannot form an accurate positioning, they will not be able to stand in the fierce competition of the Internet of Things. Operators are the providers of information services. Therefore, they must understand the needs of the market, understand the needs of the people, understand the needs of the company, the society, and the government, and develop related applications according to their needs, so as to give full play to their advantages. The true play of the value of the Internet of Things also depends on the excavation of market demand and the development and promotion of typical applications. Therefore, if the two are completely connected, the telecom operator is the natural operator of the Internet of Things. From the current problems and development directions of the development of the Internet of Things, it is expected that telecom operators will become the dominant players, and they are expected to make breakthroughs in the integrated platform and killer application.

Creating a comprehensive unified platform With the gradual maturity of industry applications, the emergence of a new universal Internet of Things platform will not be infringed. As the Internet of Things industry has not formed a clear division of labor, applications in different industries are relatively separated, and the development of the entire Internet of Things industry is still at a fragmented stage. At the same time, there are certain technical barriers between the informatization of different industries, making it impossible for companies to invest in their respective fields, but it is difficult to provide complete and in-depth industrial applications. Zhao Wei, president of the University of Macau, believes that the biggest challenge facing the future of the Internet of Things is to use existing network resources to build the industry-recognized IoT platform. Only by implementing such a seamless connection can the Internet of Things become a globally unified, seamless network accessible to all sub-networks. Wang Hao, director of the Institute of Microsystems, Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that to develop the Internet of Things, a unified network platform must be established and operators must be supported.

The platform is the best in the world, especially in the field of Internet of Things. In the Internet of Things industry chain, it is necessary to transmit large amounts of data. It is necessary to realize the combination of “things and things” and “people-to-people” communications in terms of business and management, and to achieve order relationship management and certification management for all businesses. The protection of the basic communication network has left the “network” and the Internet of Things cannot play its core value. Therefore, it is imperative for telecom operators to take advantage of network resources to build a unified unified application platform for the Internet of Things and to work closely with the upstream and downstream industries to seize the moment when the value chain of the Internet of Things business is decentralized and utilize its extensive customer resources and power. The technical force of the company seeks to play a central role in the value chain and achieve an effective breakthrough. To integrate scientific research institutes, chip manufacturers, terminal manufacturers, system integrators and other links, to carry out cooperation and even deep integration, to launch products that meet market demand. Operators with large-scale, high-reliability network resources fully have the ability to build an IoT platform. For example, the “home gateway” service that operators have proposed can in fact become the best medium between the control of IoT and the Internet. In the application of digital audio and video transmission, Internet browsing, network video on demand, video telephony, and distance education that are currently implemented, it is easy to load home remote control functions.

The key to the application of killer-level applications is the application, and telecom operators have their own natural advantages in application development and promotion. By using killer-level applications, they will lead the linkage development of all parties in the industry chain and will become a big one. Breakthrough. Currently visible killer applications are mainly in urban applications, including smart cities, smart homes, and personal applications.

Especially in the 3G era, the key technologies involved in the Internet of Things, such as radio frequency technology, distributed computing, sensors, embedded intelligence, wireless transmission, real-time data exchange, and the Internet, are all relatively mature technologies and are widely used in related fields. Applications, these will become the basis for telecommunications operators to vigorously enter the smart city applications.

As the first telecom operator to launch Internet of Things application service in China, China Mobile has developed nine categories of 37 mobiles such as Yijutong, Chewutong, Elevator Guard, Aibeitong, and Smart Agriculture in terms of industry and home applications. IoT industry and home application products, follow-up will focus on expanding the four major industries of electricity, transportation logistics, security and municipal. According to relevant sources, as of the end of 2011, the number of China Mobile Internet of Things terminals has exceeded 11 million. China Telecom has developed more than 600,000 M2M terminals (excluding Wing Express, Wing Payments, and Global Eye Terminals), among which, transportation, remote meter reading, and financial wireless POS are ranked in the top three. China Unicom focuses on industry applications and home applications in the Internet of Things strategy. Key industry sectors include environmental protection, public transportation, electric power, logistics, automotive, manufacturing, and public utility management. Intelligent transit, environmental testing, and safe cities are the Internet of Things. Key applications for development; In the public user area, combined with smart homes to promote mature digital home applications, R&D has promoted safe home services such as security alarms and environmental protection tests.
