Internet of things industrialization bottleneck
The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has begun to make an overall plan for the Internet of Things based on NGB. It is expected that the Internet of Things will become another "battlefield" of the radio, television and telecommunications system by the middle of the year.
Entering the Zhangjiang Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Industrialization Base, the first thing that catches your eye is a long list of electronic tags with different shapes and colors. These gadgets with embedded microprocessors show their talents in different fields: pig breeding, dangerous goods management, clothing washing, and security signs.
As the concept of "Internet of Things" continues to heat up, the institution has received unprecedented attention as China's only RFID national industrial base.
The so-called "Internet of Things" is a popular understanding of a network of things. Its standard definition is: through radio frequency identification, infrared sensors, global positioning systems, laser scanners and other information sensing equipment, according to the agreed protocol, connect any item with the Internet, exchange information and communicate to achieve intelligent identification , Positioning, tracking, monitoring and management of a network. RFID is one of the basic core technologies.
The Internet of Things is known as the third wave of the world ’s information industry after computers and the Internet.
A 2005 report of the International Telecommunication Union once described the picture of the era of "Internet of Things": when the driver makes a mistake, the car will automatically call the police; the briefcase will remind the owner to forget something; the clothes will "tell" the washing machine to Color and water temperature requirements, etc.
Government eating crab
On the morning of March 30, Zhangjiang RFID Industrialization Base welcomed Li Zhiming, deputy secretary-general of the Leshan Municipal Committee of Sichuan Province and Qin Zongrong, director of the Sichuan RFID Engineering Technology Research Center.
Entrusted by the Leshan City Government, Yancheng Communication Technology Co., Ltd. where Qin Zongrong is located is responsible for the organization and coordination of the "Internet of Things (Core Radio Frequency Identification Technology) Industrial Technology Park" covering an area of ​​more than 300 acres in Leshan High-tech Development Zone management. At present, a production and office building of 12,000 square meters has been completed, and enterprises such as China Mobile [75.55 1.14%] and Huawei have settled in the park.
Li Zhiming told reporters: "In the past, Leshan's industrial layout was dominated by traditional industries, but heavy industry was too heavy, and pressure on energy saving and emission reduction was great. We hope to be a demonstration city in the Western Internet of Things."
"Our Internet of Things development is different from Wuxi." Li Zhiming said, "Wuxi is more focused on cutting-edge exploration, and Leshan should start with applications. Our 15 markets including ticket management, coal mine safety, and public transportation are all open to the outside world. "
At present, Yancheng Communication has implemented underground staff positioning management for all the prospecting enterprises in the city, and the miners' path, trajectory, survival status and even the gas concentration in the space can be monitored in real time.
In order to prove Leshan ’s competitiveness, Li Zhiming also gave an example-the biosensor expert of Southwest Jiaotong University forever, prepared to put the laboratory in Leshan: "He started to prepare to Wuxi, but later measured the air quality, Leshan ’s The air is better. "
It is not only the Leshan Municipal Government that treats Wuxi as an "imaginary enemy." Major cities across the country seeking economic transformation are formulating local IoT development plans and rushing to build regional demonstration centers. The local government has thus become the main driving force of the current Internet of Things industry.
The industrial layout of the Yangtze River Delta is particularly delicate. Previously, as the earliest domestic institute of microsystems and information technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to conduct sensor network research was located in Shanghai, Shanghai had a clear advantage in this emerging field. But many years ago, the Chinese Academy of Sciences set up a center in Jiaxing, which directly took away part of the R & D and manufacturing business of the Internet of Things. Since then, the research team led by Liu Haitao has opened the Wuxi Institute of Internet of Things Industry in Wuxi.
In August 2009, during his inspection of Wuxi, Premier Wen Jiabao proposed that Wuxi should be built into a “perceived China†center, and the city became the focus of attention for all parties. Wuxi was also approved as the "National Sensor Network Innovation Demonstration Zone (China Sensor Information Center)", which is known as the "Internet of Things Demonstration Base".
On March 2, 2010, Shanghai announced the establishment of the "Shanghai Internet of Things" center in Jiading District in cooperation with the Shanghai Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in order to "build the most competitive and internationally influential Internet of Things R & D center in China , Engineering center, application center and core technology industrialization gathering place, and form a dislocation development pattern with the Internet of Things R & D plan of other regions in China. "This move is regarded as a late" make-up class "by some insiders.
Yin Guanxi, deputy dean of the Wuxi Institute of Internet of Things Industry, commented to this reporter: "The industrial model of the Internet of Things is still being explored. It must be led by the government to attract and gather various enterprises and resources to form an industrial cluster. The situation is that the government comes to eat crabs. It is good to have competition everywhere, and it is not good to do without competition. "
Battleground
Faced with this swaddling Chaoyang industry, no one wants to lose at the starting line.
After China Mobile announced that it will establish the China Mobile Internet of Things Research Institute in Wuxi, China Telecom and China Unicom have successively signed cooperation framework agreements with the Wuxi Municipal Government.
The three major operators have stated on different occasions that they regard the Internet of Things as an important market opportunity.
China Mobile is particularly active. Since visiting Taiwan on August 21, 2009, Wang Jianzhou, president of China Mobile, repeatedly stressed that "the Internet of Things is my most interesting thing." He even took a proposal called "Developing the Internet of Things and Promoting Informationization" to participate in the "two sessions" in March 2010.
The World Expo ticket is China Mobile's first IoT application for mass users. For the World Expo, Mobile also launched the "Vehicle Service" system developed for the World Expo fleet, and its core is to collect data through GPS terminals and intelligently dispatch according to the traffic conditions around the Expo venues.
The relevant person in charge of Shanghai Mobile Company told reporters that M2M mainly emphasizes machine-to-machine communication, which is a common mode of Internet of Things at this stage. Judging from the current M2M business development situation, it is still in the "heavy channel, light application" stage. Operators are in the auxiliary industrial chain mode, worrying about falling into price competition and becoming a pure "channel".
In order to occupy the leading position in the industry, Shanghai Mobile plans to seek breakthroughs in the three fields of finance, transportation and logistics, and form 2 to 3 mature industry standardization solutions from 2010 to 2012; and pay attention to shipping, environmental protection, water conservancy, community, etc. The hotspots concerned by the Shanghai government are to do a good job of research and storage of standardized solutions for shipping port logistics, warehousing, hydrology, environmental monitoring, and communities, and gradually launched them from 2011 to 2012.
China Telecom is not to be outdone. In the process of establishing China Telecom's IoT Technology Key Laboratory in Wuxi, General Manager Wang Xiaochu personally supervised the war.
China Unicom has established a dedicated channel for the Internet of Things. During the transmission process, the data is encrypted and packaged to the user's analysis and processing platform and then cracked, thereby playing a double protection role.
The telecommunications system is fiercely fighting, and the radio and television system that is striving to promote market-oriented transformation is also eager to try.
Zhao Zhifeng, vice president of Huashu Digital TV Media Group, told this reporter: "The Internet of Things requires a high degree of security, which is wrong based on the Internet. This is a misunderstanding of many experts. The Internet of Things cannot be an infrastructure. The NGB of radio and television can become the best bearer network for the Internet of Things. Information collection, information transmission, and information integration should all be private networks, and the provision and release of information are public networks. He believes that the Internet of Things requires high-security bearers. Mobile phones, the Internet, broadband, and cable TV networks are all information access and information release channels. The NGB-based Internet of Things should become the core transmission network.
Zhao Zhifeng revealed that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has started to do an overall plan for the Internet of Things based on NGB, which is expected to be released in the middle of the year. It can be predicted that the field of Internet of Things will become another "battlefield" of radio, television and telecommunications systems.
Industrialization bottleneck
The US consulting agency FORRESTER predicts that by 2020, the business of Internet of Things in the world will reach 30 to 1 compared with the business of human-to-human communication, which means that the Internet of Things industry is 30 times larger than the Internet. The "Internet of Things" is therefore called the next trillion-level communication business.
Xing Tao introduced that the industry chain in this field will mainly include: sensor manufacturing – chip manufacturing – equipment manufacturing – network services – network operations – software development – ​​services Business and other aspects.
Tao Tao believes that according to the characteristics of the industry, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises focusing on subdivided fields will be born in the future, such as software developers and maintainers, which will become a useful supplementary force for economic vitality.
However, the industry prospects of the Internet of Things are still regarded as "fuzzy" by some people. Lenovo Chairman Liu Chuanzhi and Baidu CEO Li Yanhong both hold a conservative attitude towards industrial investment.
Technically mature RFID applications have always faced difficulties in industrial promotion.
"We have been reflecting on why the RFID industry has not ushered in the expected blowout development? Because of the lack of confidence to achieve an industry." Wang Dong, Secretary General of the Shanghai RFID Industry Alliance, told reporters.
Wang Dong hosted a pilot project called "Future Store". This store is located at 558 Nanjing East Road, Shanghai. It is the first RFID-based store officially put into commercial operation in China. It has now become a group buying center for flagship stores of Shanghai World Expo licensed merchandise.
Wang Dong said that after the store implemented the RFID technology transformation, its sales increased greatly. But industrial promotion still faces difficulties.
Over the years, the popularity of RFID has always faced bottlenecks in both cost and technology. The first is the high label prices. Ordinary cheapest tags are more than 20 cents, and the cheapest active tags are more than $ 1, which directly restricts the use of RFID for cheap goods.
In addition, hardware facilities such as IT systems and readers also require huge one-time investments.
In terms of technology, domestic companies have no dominance over the underlying RFID patents. The global RFID patent layout battle has continued for many years. The United States is in the lead. The total number of applications exceeds the total of patent applications in the EU, WIPO, Japan, and mainland China, accounting for 53%.
Compared with RFID tags, the cost of micro sensors is higher, and manufacturers are scarce. Japan and Europe have huge advantages in sensor technology.
The RFID tags used in the store in the future and the sensors used in the Taihu Water Monitoring Project are imported products.
The "Internet of Things" concept stocks that have been hyped up recently have almost all been plan integrators.
To attack international standards
Xing Tao, deputy secretary-general of the National Working Group on Standardization of Sensor Networks, told us that a "Proposal on International Standards for Information Processing in Sensor Networks" submitted to ISO / IEC JTC1 (ISO / IEC Information Technology Committee) by China on March 23 Pass a new work item (NP) vote.
Earlier, a nine-person working group led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology flew to London, England in early March to participate in the first working meeting of the Sensor Network International Standards Working Group (WGSN) and brought two Chinese proposals.
In the formulation of IoT standards, China has basically kept pace with its international counterparts, which is very rare in the development of emerging industries in the past.
In the previous wave of high-tech industries, the United States and other early-starting countries held most of the power to formulate international standards. Chinese companies are subject to independent standards in many fields such as PC, software, Internet, mobile communications, and DVD. Missing.
Tao Tao said that the reason why China has a certain say in the formulation of the Internet of Things standards, in addition to benefiting from the support of the National Standards Committee, is also related to the degree of industrial development and the increased awareness of enterprise participation: "When the Internet and other standards are taking shape, Domestic companies do not yet have this awareness. But many industry alliances are now actively participating in the formulation of IoT standards. "
On September 11, 2009, approved by the National Standardization Management Committee, the National Information Technology Standardization Technical Committee formed a sensor network standard working group. In addition to the major technical research units of the domestic sensor network such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, members of the standard working group also have related companies such as China Mobile and Huawei.
Tao Tao said that the participation of enterprises is essential to promote the industrial application of standards: "The final development of technical standards is ultimately the final application of industrial applications." He took Intel as an example. The company adopted the IEEE standard by selling network products to the world. Implemented as an international standard, although this technical solution is not optimal.
How to avoid repeated construction and standardization caused by competition for interests?
After seeing the "American Broadband Industry Plan" released by the US FCC, Zhao Zhifeng felt a lot: "The Internet of Things is an industry, not an operator's business. It should be a national project. But it is still relatively disordered. The national ministries should Make a good plan, and then arrange for implementation. Both local and operators should implement and promote it under the national plan. Otherwise, they will have to take a lot of detours-first development, then governance. "
Tao Tao believes: "The standard itself is impossible to unify the world, because there are deep interests involved. Standard setting is the process of game and coordination of the interests of all parties."
Miracle or bubble
Historical experience shows that major economic crises often give birth to a new round of technological revolution. The economic crisis of 1987 achieved the Internet information technology revolution, and its influence continues to this day. Around 2000, the Internet bubble burst. Some well-known Internet companies have long disappeared.
Today, ten years later, what fate will the Internet of Things boom usher in?
Wang Dong commented: "After carefully studying the entire industry, I feel that it is real and has a realistic industrial foundation and market demand."
"There is a hype bubble, and it will be even more chaotic in the future. The Internet of Things is a big basket, and everything can be put inside. To truly form industrialization, it may take longer than the Internet." Xing Tao said.
