Overall, the hot application areas of the Internet of Things mainly include transportation, home furnishing, medical care, education, etc. In addition to these traditional industries, the application value of the Internet of Things in fields such as smart communities and smart city construction has also been recognized by some industry insiders.
In recent years, as the application speed of the Internet of Things continues to accelerate, global Internet companies, communications companies, IT service providers, and vertical industry leaders have continued to pay more attention to the Internet of Things. These companies have taken various measures to promote the Internet of Things. Actual implementation.
With the joint efforts of many parties, the research and development of cutting-edge Internet of Things technologies continues to accelerate, and the scale of the industry continues to expand. According to statistics from the China Academy of Communications, as of mid-2018, the overall scale of my country’s IoT industry has reached 1.2 trillion, completing 80% of the 1.5 trillion IoT industry scale proposed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2016, and is developing at a rapid pace. At the same time, the number of M2M connections on the Internet of Things public network has exceeded 500 million, the number of key enterprises in the country with an output value of more than 1 billion yuan has reached 120, and more than 80 national and industry standards have been formulated by industry personnel.
Thanks to the continuous enrichment of external and endogenous power, the application scenarios of the Internet of Things have been continuously broadened in recent years. A large number of innovative application solutions for the Internet of Things have been produced in the fields of smart government, smart industry, smart home, and personal informatization. The Internet of Things technology The degree of application of and solutions in various industries has also continued to deepen. According to statistics, the application penetration rate of the Internet of Things industry in 2013 was approximately 10%. By 2017, this figure was close to 30%. It is expected that by 2020, more than 65% of enterprises and organizations will apply IoT products and solutions.
In fact, among the various application scenarios of the Internet of Things, the application prospects of smart cities are particularly praised by industry insiders. Driven by the Internet of Things technology, my country’s urban construction is currently accelerating its transformation towards intelligence and efficiency, and people living in cities are also enjoying the many conveniences provided by the Internet of Things. By building IoT sensing terminals for transportation, energy, security, environmental protection and other systems within the city, city management departments can understand the city’s operating status in real time and conduct intelligent management and regulation of the city.
Generally speaking, smart city construction includes urban water supply, power supply, security, fire protection and other links. Only when multiple links cooperate with each other and operate in a coordinated manner can better results be achieved. For example, in urban security, with the implementation of policies such as Safe City and Xueliang Project, security construction in many cities in my country has achieved rapid development. According to statistics, in 2017, the number of security service providers in my country has reached thousands, and the demand for networked smart security equipment in major cities has also grown rapidly.
At the same time, with the help of the technological advantages of the Internet of Things, the efficiency of urban public affairs has been further improved. Among them, urban water supply, gas supply, heating and other enterprises can use a variety of IoT devices and technologies to understand the water supply and power supply situation in various areas of the city in a timely manner, so as to make timely power supply and heating plans.
At present, many cities in my country have begun to use Internet of Things technology to build smart water services, smart grids, smart gas, etc. After the NB-IoT Internet of Things smart water commercial project was launched in Shenzhen, Fujian, Hunan, Ningxia and other places quickly launched smart water pilot applications based on NB-IoT. Companies such as China Resources Gas, Shenzhen Gas, Fuzhou Gas, and Beijing Gas are also actively Carry out smart gas pilot based on NB-IoT and LoRa tecnología.
In the future, with the accelerated establishment of infrastructure such as 5G and low-power wide area networks, trillions of new devices will be connected to the Internet of Things information sharing platform, and the Internet of Things will enter a new era of cross-border integration, integrated innovation and large-scale development. stage. In this process, new technologies such as artificial intelligence, edge computing, and blockchain will accelerate their integration with the Internet of Things and spawn many innovative applications.
By then, the level of my country’s smart city construction will be further improved, the management of cities by management departments will become more scientific and reasonable, and people’s living and working environment will become safer and more comfortable.
