Almost all forecasts show that by 2020, the number of IoT connections will reach 50 billion to 100 billion, so a trillion-scale market will become the biggest fragrance in the ICT field after the voice business. For this huge market, almost all well-known ICT manufacturers have released IoT related products and services, and actively deployed the Internet of Things field: the three major domestic operators are actively testing the NB-IoT network and the construction of related IoT platforms; Mainstream cloud service vendors have launched IoT services based on public cloud; semiconductor manufacturers, chip manufacturers, and various embedded hardware and software equipment manufacturers have also launched various IoT products.

ZTE is no exception, and recently released the M-ICT2.0 strategy - VOICE of Future: V (Virtuality, Virtual), O (Openness, Open), I (Intelligence, Smart), C (CloudifacaTIon, Cloud), E (Internet of Everything, IoT). These five major directions will be the development plans and targets of ZTE 2020. It can be seen that the Internet of Things occupies a very important position in the overall strategy of ZTE.

"ZTE will be the ICT enabler of the IoT industry," said Wang Xiang, vice president of ZTE and general manager of ZTE's strategic planning department. This is ZTE's Internet of Things positioning. In the future, ZTE will be in smart cities, smart homes, The industrial Internet and the Internet of Vehicles are working in four directions to seize the Internet of Things market.

Road map: two flat, three horizontal and four vertical

Positioning is determined, the goal is clear, how can we achieve the goal? What are the advantages of ZTE in the IoT field?

Wang Xiang said that from the perspective of the entire industry chain, IoT is a complex industrial value chain covering intelligent terminals, connecting pipes, application platforms, data analysis, vertical field professional services, and security. In a sense, the success of IoT depends on the joint efforts of the entire industry. From the current IoT application point of view, only the implementation of simple scenarios or isolated connection applications has not yet formed an industrial scale effect, and the corresponding business model needs to be innovated. At the same time, the Internet of Things involves all walks of life. It can be said that no single vendor can provide all the solutions, which is the biggest challenge that the Internet of Things brings to the industry. The general idea of ​​ZTE's development of the Internet of Things is "two flats, three horizontals and four verticals". “Two flats” refers to two supporting platforms, namely the ecosystem platform and the capital platform; “three horizontals” refers to the three horizontal aggregations of terminals, networks and IoT PaaS; “four verticals” refers to smart cities, smart families and industries. Internet, car networking four vertical areas.

In the construction of “two flats”, ZTE provides services for customers in the upstream and downstream industry chain by building an open connection, management and application platform, providing intelligent capabilities for IoT terminals through SmarTIoT OS, and enabling customers in the equipment through the IoT management platform. Management and user management are simpler, helping partners tap the value of each “BIT” by combining big data and cloud computing capabilities. While opening the platform, ZTE actively builds the IoT industry ecosystem, establishes the GIA alliance, and builds sub-ecological alliances for different scenarios, such as: car networking sub-ecology, smart home sub-ecology, CLAA sub-ecology, etc., together with various partners. Advance innovation in IoT applications based on different communication technologies.

"Three horizontals" was originally the advantage field of ZTE. ZTE has accumulated rich technology and products in terms of IoT chips, IoT communication modules, Smart OS operating systems, gateways and other terminals related to the Internet of Things. Wang Xiang said that ZTE is based on the cloud and drives the industry development.

On the terminal side, ZTE focuses on chips, OS, communication modules, and intelligent gateways, and actively participates in industrial cooperation, and together with industry partners to create an open IoT terminal software and hardware platform to help industry customers accelerate the development speed of IoT intelligent terminals.

On the network side, ZTE has been committed to providing customers with better connectivity services. By optimizing the technologies in short-distance, wide-area, and metro and core networks to meet the differentiated needs of IoT applications, in terms of latency, capacity, and reliability. Carry out technological innovation and optimization, and continue to invest in both NB-IoT and LoRa technologies. ZTE can provide a complete NB-IoT network, and can also provide a complete LoRa network solution to customers and partners based on the CLAA Alliance. ZTE can also provide a complete IoT platform. At the 4th Global TADhack Competition hosted by MTN not long ago, the IoT development platform and technical support used by the contestants were provided by ZTE, and developers can get very important support from them. And help. In addition, ZTE provides customers with synchronous, synchronous, and synchronous security services by building an end-to-end security solution, so that security policies in different scenarios can change with context. Build a trusted application environment, a trusted OS platform, and a trusted chip-level solution for customers.

“Four Vertical” is a joint focus of ZTE and its partners. In the smart city field, ZTE has launched smart roadside parking, smart trash cans, smart street lights, smart manhole covers and other solutions; in the smart home field, ZTE’s smart home security brand “Xiaoxing Look” has been very successful. Currently listed in the channel market Top3; in the field of car networking, ZTE is working with AT&T and domestic and foreign first-class TSP service providers to provide on-board OBD, car MiFi and other products; in the field of industrial Internet, ZTE has developed intelligent meter reading (water and electricity) Solutions such as three-set copying, intelligent rail transit, and intelligent oil and gas pipeline monitoring have been widely used at home and abroad.

Running forward

NB-IoT is the most popular IoT technology among the three major operators in China. China Telecom is the first operator in China to upgrade the Internet of Things to its basic business. China Mobile has also placed the Internet of Things in the Group's overall strategy. China Unicom plans to achieve an annual revenue of 10 billion yuan in the Internet of Things business in 2018. From the perspective of progress, this year's focus is on technical verification and testing, and large-scale network construction and application deployment will be carried out in the next year. Around NB-IoT technology, a big industry will be formed. Wang Xiang said that ZTE relies on years of technology accumulation to provide end-to-end NB-IoT solutions from chips, modules, wireless and core networks to IoT platforms. At present, ZTE has done a lot of work in industrial ecological construction, technical standard testing and application program innovation.

In the industrial ecological construction, we will work closely with the three major operators and partners to jointly promote the development of the NB-IoT industry. Co-sponsored the establishment of Tianyi IoT Industry Alliance with China Telecom and served as the vice chairman unit of the alliance; signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China Unicom to carry out in-depth cooperation in the two major innovation areas of 5G and Internet of Things; signed a strategy with Beijing Institute of Telecommunications and Shanghai Institute of Technology Cooperation agreement, actively participate in the construction of telecom Internet of Things open laboratory; signed strategic cooperation agreements with Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Liaoning, Hebei, Henan, Xinjiang and other provinces and cities to jointly build the Internet of Things demonstration park and jointly expand the Internet of Things market . In addition, ZTE has also established the IoT Innovation Lab, which is divided into two areas: IoT application demonstration and IoT application innovation development and verification. It focuses on demonstrating and verifying related products and solutions in smart cities, smart homes, industrial monitoring and car networking. And application.

The NB-IoT core standard was finalized in June this year, and technical functions and performance need to be verified. ZTE actively cooperated with the three major operators to carry out norm-setting, technical testing and pilot construction of NB-IoT. He has worked closely with China Mobile Research Institute, China Unicom Network Research Institute, and China Telecom Shanghai Research Institute to formulate relevant technical specifications. At the end of May this year, ZTE and China Mobile completed the industry's first technical verification demonstration based on the 3GPP NB-IoT standard protocol. In October, the test was conducted in the simulated commercial environment at the China Telecom Guangzhou Research Institute. On the basis of completing the laboratory test, the field experiment network construction is currently being carried out in 8 cities. The end of the experiment will officially release the NB-IoT end-to-end business trial commercial.

NB-IoT technology depends on the application. In addition to providing platform-based, versatile products and services to the market, ZTE is also actively cooperating with partners to provide end-to-end solutions to customers in key areas of focus (smart cities, smart homes, car networking, industrial Internet). With the service. At the Beijing Communication Exhibition held in September, ZTE and its partners jointly demonstrated a variety of innovative applications for the Internet of Things, including smart parking solutions such as smart parking and smart street lights, smart meter reading, and pipe network monitoring. ZTE and Hanwei Electronics have cooperated with partners such as Smart Water to jointly launch programs such as Smart Water. In the field of sports and health, ZTE and its partners have developed a smart marathon program that enables health and safety in large-scale sports such as marathons through wearable devices and the IoT PaaS system. In the vertical sector and the industrial Internet, ZTE is working with operators to explore the transformation of traditional industries through IoT, including the Internet of agriculture, animal husbandry and industrial manufacturing.

In Wang Xiang's view, the era of the Internet of Everything has just begun. In the physical world, more than 95% of the objects are still not connected, and the future development space is immeasurable. And this development depends to a large extent on the cross-border and cooperation between industries. In a sense, the speed of development of the entire IoT industry depends on the entire ICT industry ecology and between the ICT industry and other industries. Collaborate with each other. Wang Xiang said that with ZTE, ZTE will continue to play the role of ICT enablers in the field of Internet of Things, and work together with industry partners to promote and promote industrial prosperity, and contribute to the creation of the Internet of Things industry.
