Dangerous Internet of Things
This is an invisible battlefield, it is close at hand, and far away in the clouds. It's called the Internet of Things.
"The network is like air. Everywhere we breathe, we lose control." On May 9, sitting in the office of Dawang Road in Beijing, Wang Yuquan, chief consultant of Frost & Sullivan (China), was worried. In his view, through the Internet of Things, multinational giants have brought increasingly powerful threats to China, and the traditional economic and security borders are being quietly subverted.
At this time, an Air China passenger plane was flying across the clouds to the west of China. In the cabin, Zhang Rong (pseudonym), IBM Greater China business manager, closed his eyes and nourished himself. Recently, the "smart earth" promoted by IBM is in a great situation in China. No matter local governments, institutions or enterprises, they have shifted from the wait-and-see situation last year to the implementation of "smashing money", and Zhang Rong had to "fight" in various places. At the same time as his performance soared, his sleep time fell sharply, so he had to hurry up on the plane every day to make up for it.
Regarding the popularity of "smart earth" in China, the industry generally believes that China is still far behind in the key links of the IoT industry chain such as chips, sensors, cloud computing, and some areas have not even achieved "zero breakthroughs." Moreover, until now, the Internet of Things is still immature, lacking a business model, and security mechanisms have been frequently questioned by industry insiders. "If you scale the Internet of Things now, it is the foreign giants who will take advantage."
According to people familiar with the matter, several reports on the security of the Internet of Things have been delivered to the decision-makers and received high attention.
"Be alert to new foreign concepts and strategies." On April 15th, Minister Li Yizhong of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) publicly stated that the United States is trying to use its information network technology to control the economies of various countries. Therefore, we must be alert to the "smart earth".
Li Yizhong pointed out that China should vigorously develop the Internet of Things and other emerging industries in order to seize the initiative.
In fact, local efforts have already begun. On May 11, representatives from more than 70 organizations and enterprises gathered in Suzhou to discuss the latest IoT standard progress. At the meeting, Xing Tao, deputy secretary-general of the National Working Group on Sensor Networks, revealed that China has gained the right to speak internationally in the formulation of standards.
The road ahead is still long
"The Internet of Things must be developed to respond to international threats, but if it is promoted at the immature stage, it may also drag the entire industry and even the entire economy into the abyss." An industry source said, "Reasonable planning is needed between the two. Find balance. "
"The biggest contradiction now is that the high level has not yet concluded, and local governments and industry departments have generally shown their favor to the Smart Earth." A government official said.
The original intention of "smart earth" is to save the American economy and establish future competitive advantages. On January 28, 2009, at the "Round Table" held by American business leaders, IBM CEO Sam Palmisano clearly proposed the concept of "smart earth", hoping to increase the investment in emerging technologies such as broadband networks Economy and establish the future competitive advantage of the United States. After receiving a positive response from US President Barack Obama, this plan subsequently rose to the US national strategy.
A month later, the "smart earth" extended its tentacles to China. On February 24, 2009, IBM proposed "Smart Earth Wins in China", and launched services for six major areas: power, medical, city, transportation, supply chain (logistics) and banking.
IBM siege
"IBM's promotion efforts can be described as indiscriminate bombing.
Industry insiders say that IBM promotes the "smart earth" in China through all possible channels, and its efforts are far greater than in other countries. In addition to commercial purposes, it may have other strategic intentions.
In an internal report completed by the Software and Integrated Circuit Promotion Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in September 2009, many experts believe that IBM has always been a master in creating new concepts, and it will focus on promoting IBM's hardware and software products and solutions every once in a while. , Throwing out a brand new idea. Earlier, IBM had relied on "e-business" in 2002 to reverse the huge losses for several consecutive years and successfully transformed. Since 2004, it has talked about "on demand". The “smart earth†promoted this time is also another “disruptive industrial transformation†that caters to the current trend of industrialization, informatization and globalization.
"IBM proposed the concept of smart earth after careful planning, full preparation and careful deployment." The report believes that the key technologies to realize the "smart earth" vision-sensor network, cloud computing, super computing, software service, data integration and Excavation and so on are all IBM's technical advantages, and it is possible to take this opportunity to once again occupy the commanding heights of the competition. And IBM's focus areas in China are mostly resource-rich and well-funded key industries. If IBM obtains project resources in this area on a large scale, China will consume a large amount of capital resources from its high value-added products, weaken the support for domestic enterprises, and affect the implementation of China's economic stimulus plan and industrial transformation.
"The most important thing is that the promotion and application of Smart Earth will also directly threaten national security." An expert said that "Smart Earth" involves all core software and hardware fields (such as operating systems, databases, middleware software, embedded Software, integrated circuits, etc.), if the important fields related to national economy and people ’s livelihood are covered through the Internet of Things network, it is difficult to ensure that sensitive information is not leaked with the existing information security protection system. Once encountering certain information risks, it is more likely to cause catastrophic consequences, from a computer, a generator, to an industry or even the national economy will be controlled by others.
An industry source revealed that before this, many domestic research institutes, associations and enterprises have already raised questions about this, many of whom have written warnings to decision-makers.
At the same time as the industry questioned, IBM has already attacked the city in the Chinese market.
In August 2009, IBM and the Guangdong Provincial Department of Information Industry signed a strategic cooperation memorandum to build a world-class "smart city" for Guangzhou. A month later, another strategic cooperation agreement was established with the Shenyang Municipal Government to create an “ecological Shenyang†and a “smart cityâ€. Since then, IBM has successively held hands in cities such as Kunshan, Beijing, and Chongqing, and the media has even used the term "next city" to describe every IBM cooperation.
In many industries such as finance and tobacco, IBM has also penetrated deeply. "For example, CCB, the entire system uses IBM servers." An industry source revealed, "In the tobacco industry, from the General Administration to local companies, from servers, storage to data processing, also use IBM."
"IBM's public relations ability is very strong, and it has been deeply entrenched in the Chinese market." This industry believes that even if the industry and even the central government have warned, in some places, IBM is still sought after.
According to IBM's public data, the company currently has nearly 5,000 R & D personnel, more than 1,000 consultants, more than 2,000 sales, more than 3,000 technical experts, more than 5,000 service teams, and nearly 3,000 dealers in China. The team and customers are in many important industries in the Chinese economy, and have occupied leading market shares in the fields of servers, storage, services, and software.
The gap is at least 5 years
In the eyes of industry insiders, "Smart Earth" is similar to the European Union's "eEurope" and "i2010", Japan's "U-Japan", South Korea's "U-Korea" and other plans, the core is based on sensor-based IoT network and cloud computing , Through the establishment of a large number of sensors in infrastructure and manufacturing, capture all kinds of information during operation, and then enter the Internet through the sensor network, issue intelligent instructions through computer analysis and processing, and then feed back to the infrastructure and manufacturing links, thereby improving Productivity.
In China, the same plan has been launched.
Xing Tao, deputy secretary-general of the National Working Group on Sensor Networks, revealed that research in the field of wireless sensing has been started in China as early as the 1990s. In 2004, standardization research began in both military and civilian fields. Since 2009, it has been active Promote industrialization.
On August 7, 2009, Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council inspected the Wuxi Micro-Nano Sensor Network Engineering Technology R & D Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and instructed to quickly establish China's "Perceived China" center in Wuxi. Three months later, in the speech "Let Technology Lead China's Sustainable Development", Wen Jiabao made it clear once again that the Internet of Things is one of the five key new technology areas supported.
Since then, the industrialization of the Internet of Things has rapidly heated up. The three major operators, the radio and television, the State Grid, and many companies in the industrial chain, as well as Shanghai, Wuxi, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Chongqing and other places have issued their own plans or strategies, and even the stocks of listed companies with the concept of the Internet of Things are also in the capital market. Soaring all the way up.
"At present, the basic industry of the Internet of Things is not in China. The faster the development, the easier it is to prepare a big market for foreigners." Liu Jie, director of the Science and Technology Department of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, said that although there have been many domestic applications, but among them The basic hardware such as chips and sensors are basically imported from foreign manufacturers. There are not many core intellectual property rights, more integration and less originality.
Liu Jie believes that although all regions want to develop the Internet of Things, most of them still follow behind others and do some low-value-added system integration and simple applications. It seems that they have invested a lot of money, but most of them are earned by system integration companies. The industrial layout has not benefited.
"It's easier to build the foundation than the money for system integration, but if you only do system integration, you will lose the foundation, just like the problems that the color TV industry and the automotive industry have faced." Liu Jie said.
"Most of the applications we do now are to make wedding dresses for foreign companies." An enterprise person said that in the field of sensors, they are basically monopolized by foreign giants. A few domestic manufacturers are mostly processed on the basis of foreign chips. In terms of operating systems, middleware, cloud storage, cloud computing, and other links, Chinese manufacturers are at a disadvantage. "Many of the current applications are foreign-invested products."
This gap cannot be filled in the short term. Many experts and business people said in an interview with a reporter from the "National Finance Weekly" that although the Internet of Things is a new concept, it does not appear out of thin air, but it is an extension and integration of various fields in the traditional IT industry. In the sensor and other fields that have been developed abroad for decades, China is almost blank. Therefore, the IoT boom has even enlarged the gap between China's traditional IT industry and international leading manufacturers.
According to CSIP's internal report, China's information industry currently lacks core patents. Foreign companies with semiconductor patents accounted for 85%, foreign companies with patents on electronic components, special equipment, instruments and equipment accounted for 70%, foreign companies with radio transmission accounted for up to 93%, and foreign companies with mobile communication and transmission equipment accounted for 91% and 89 %.
"It will take at least 5 years to catch up, and it may be longer." Many industry veterans judged. Liu Jie believes that if it is an infrastructure construction, it may even take 15 years to do well.
Scale dilemma
Industry insiders believe that China's Internet of Things standard setting work is basically synchronized with the international, which may become the key to changing the situation.
Xing Tao revealed that as early as 2006, the National Beacon Committee had established a sensor network standard research project group to conduct research work on sensor network standards, and completed the preparation of the sensor network standard working group in 2009. Development of national standards in this area.
On May 11, 2010, at the Sensor Network Standardization Forum, an expert revealed to a reporter from China Finance and Economics that more than 70 domestic institutions and enterprises have participated in the sensor network standardization working group. Participants who participated in the formulation of standards further revealed that standards development in various fields has been rapidly advancing.
Previously, on March 25, at the first plenary meeting of the Sensor Network International Standards Working Group (WGSN) held in London, the United Kingdom, China submitted a proposal for a standard for sensor collaborative information processing, which was officially approved.
"Now our thinking is to develop standards first, and accelerate catch-up in key areas, and finally catch up in the entire industry chain." One participant said that now mainly to promote some of the more mature applications first, such as Conduct pilot projects in industries with more mature businesses such as power and transportation, and then gradually promote them.
Some industry insiders believe that in this process, the layout and support of the industry will be extremely critical.
"At present, there is no unified plan for the country, and there is no key support for key links." An enterprise official said that links such as chips, sensors, and cloud services require a lot of human and financial resources and time to invest, and It is often slow to achieve results, at least one year ahead of schedule, but now most companies in related industries can only enjoy the "inclusive" policy of attracting investment in some places.
At the same time, because the Internet of Things is mostly a vertical market segment, so whether it is sensors or applications, there are a variety of types, the subdivision size is too small, it is difficult to support the company ’s R & D investment, and it is often caught in The company can't afford it ". A number of business people in related fields revealed to reporters that, for now, their company's revenue is still mainly dependent on related applications in industries such as mobile phones and consumer digital, and the revenue of the Internet of Things is "not reliable."
"The country should issue a unified plan and introduce key support measures for key nodes that will affect the entire industry chain in the future to ensure that the development of the Internet of Things will not lose the most core high-end competitiveness." A senior person from the enterprise said.
Others in the industry believe that the current Internet of Things is not suitable for large-scale promotion. Because the security and business model of the Internet of Things are not mature.
Liu Jie believes that most of the Internet of Things applications abroad come from the market, and many of them are from the laboratory, and there are not many commercial values. "For example, many foreign pavilions at the World Expo's understanding of environmental protection and smart homes are actually applications of the Internet of Things, which is much more advanced than what we call the Internet of Things." Liu Jie said.
"Radio frequency identification technology (RFID) commonly used in the Internet of Things, especially passive RFID, may also have problems." An industry source revealed that under the current security system, in addition to highly encrypted applications such as ID cards, it is extremely large Most RFID information is not too difficult to be read by information collection equipment.
This has precedents abroad. In February 2010, the US media reported that a Seattle hacker used an inexpensive RFID information collector to steal the identity information of two US passports quietly within 20 minutes. As long as it was cloned into a blank label, the hacker could even manufacture Issue a new passport.
Other technical methods, such as wireless sensors, may solve this problem. However, some people said that the basic structure of the Internet of Things is to build an information collection network, and then feedback or receive information according to external requirements. In this process, the security risks it faces are not essentially different from RFID.
"This means that before large-scale promotion, security issues are a part that must be resolved." The person said.
Subversion in the cloud
Wang Yuquan, chief consultant of Frost & Sullivan (China) Company, believes that compared with the "smart earth", the most dangerous thing in the future is still from the cloud-connected service providers.
Wang Yuquan said, "Smart Earth" is actually an "old bottle of new wine". It is basically a traditional communication network and the Internet, but it is a fusion of a sensor network connected with things, and then data is stored and served through the cloud. Integrated processing. In this process, IBM sells more hardware, but network-based storage and services are more critical.
"With the advancement of the Internet of Things, more and more applications will depend on the services of the network." Wang Yuquan said that in the past, the network was more a channel and carrier for information transmission, but in the future, the application of the Internet of Things will require more storage space. And faster information processing, cloud storage and cloud computing based on networking will become more popular, and more basic capabilities will also be "into the cloud" locally.
Such applications have begun to appear. An Internet of Things integrator revealed that a new project it is putting into use is to remotely control key nodes of the production line through the network to ensure that its customers are always monitoring the quantity and quality when they authorize another company to produce products. Next, "As long as the network is disconnected, the remote production line will automatically stop."
This means that when similar applications are popularized, the traditional industrial chain will become more sensitive to network dependence.
"In the past, on security issues, more backups were considered, and the network was disconnected as soon as possible in a disaster situation. But in the future, when the information of an organization or enterprise is stored on the network and the business needs the network to maintain it, once For hackers or backdoors, regardless of whether the network is disconnected or not, it will inevitably suffer losses. "Industry insiders said.
"The Internet of Things will make everything more intelligent, but also more dangerous." The person said, "especially when this network is being controlled by others."
In addition to security issues, the loss of cloud services at national borders may also bring new variables to the national economic system.
"For example, the iPhone in my hand is subverting our fiscal and taxation system." An industry source said that at present, domestic iPhone users can only purchase services in Apple's software store AppStore by swiping foreign currency credit cards. In the process, Chinese users bought Apple ’s services, but because the transactions and services are all conducted through the Internet, China cannot obtain any tariffs or domestic taxes in the transactions-in fact, it is the US government that enjoys the benefits.
This person said that with the advancement of the Internet of Things and cloud services, the number and amount of similar network transactions will continue to grow.
"Whether it is the Internet of Things or cloud services, it is the general trend, and it is the frontier of a new round of technological competition between countries in the future, so even if there is a danger, we must promote development." Wang Yuquan said, "The best way is ourselves Take the initiative. "
However, in the opinion of another person in the industry, if there is no support from the government and capital, the efforts of local Chinese enterprises will face great challenges.
"It can be seen that many international manufacturers are already planning ahead, and they are quite obvious in terms of market and strength." The person believes that Google promotes cloud computing and even cuts into the operating system, iPhone builds AppStore and provides application advertising plug-in platform, Microsoft Windows7 Fully networked, IBM promotes "smart earth", Cisco shifts from equipment manufacturers to services and forms a virtual computing environment alliance with EMC and VMware. These are the traditional layouts of traditional IT giants before the next wave of full arrival.
"In 10 days, a large investment group will come to Shanghai, and they are willing to work with us to build a cloud computing center in Pudong." Zhang Aiping, deputy director of the Shanghai Pudong New Area Economic and Information Commission (hereinafter referred to as the Economic and Information Commission), on May 12 "Finance Weekly" reporter said.
Two weeks ago, Shanghai announced the latest Internet of Things support policy "Shanghai Action Plan for Promoting the Development of the Internet of Things Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). According to the plan, Shanghai will cultivate a certain scale of the Internet of Things industry in 2012, lead the development of core technologies, and deeply participate in the formulation of industry standards.
This is the latest footnote of the leap forward in the Internet of Things industry since the end of 2009. According to statistics from industry insiders, Wuxi, Shanghai, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Chongqing and many other cities have all proposed to "run" the Internet of Things.
Government officials everywhere are not easy. "It is no problem for the government to set up the stage, but the industry must do it, and the domestic IoT industry foundation is too weak, and it may not be possible to see results in one, two, even three to five years." A local government official admitted that in order to attract and support Enterprises, officials from all over the country have to rack their brains and show their wits.
Under the "enthusiasm", what prospects will the Chinese Internet of Things still in its infancy show?
"Focus" pressure
"We do not fight for the first." Standing on the shore of Taihu Lake on May 12, Zhang Keping, director of the Wuxi Municipal Informatization and Radio Management Bureau, said calmly.
Looking across the water from here, a building can be seen faintly, where the foundation of the industrialization of the Internet of Things in this city and even China is located, which is where the Wuxi Institute of Internet of Things Industry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is located.
At this time, Zhang Keping had just concluded an internal meeting with Wuxi Telecom and a local real estate company: if there were no accidents, a "sense community" test field where the telecommunications network and the Internet of Things will be integrated will come out in Wuxi, and on this basis, the corresponding Application standards.
In this city, which has become the focus of public opinion due to the Internet of Things, similar projects are constantly emerging. Zhang Keping said that as of May 10, 84 IoT application projects have been established or put into operation in Wuxi City, and there are more than 100 IoT enterprises above designated size, with a total output value of 22 billion yuan-these numbers continue to increase every day .
But for Zhang Keping, this is not enough.
A person familiar with Zhang Keping said that the official who focused on the development of the local Internet of Things industry was actually “very psychologically stressedâ€. "Last year, Premier Wen's inspections and adjustments brought Wuxi development opportunities, but also put pressure on Wuxi's Internet of Things strategy."
On August 7, 2009, Premier Wen Jiabao inspected Wuxi and instructed to quickly establish China's "Sensing China" center in Wuxi. At the end of the same year, the State Council officially approved the establishment of a national sensor network innovation demonstration area (National Sensor Information Center) in Wuxi )Program. In January 2010, the China Internet of Things Research and Development Center was established in Wuxi. In the same month, the Wuxi Internet of Things Base appeared undisputedly in the “First Batch of National New Industrialized Industrial Demonstration Bases officially approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology†issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology "" In the list.
In a blink of an eye, Wuxi has become synonymous with the Internet of Things, the focus of up and down attention. In just a few months, the three major operators of China Mobile, Telecom and Unicom, major universities, scientific research institutions and a large number of enterprises have come to Wuxi.
Wuxi's thriving moments are nothing but Zhang Keping knows that the Wuxi Internet of Things has no way back.
According to the plan of Wuxi City, the local Internet of Things industry will grow rapidly. After three years, 600 Internet of Things enterprises will be cultivated, with an industry scale of 90 billion yuan, and more than 5 listed enterprises will be cultivated. By 2015, the industrial scale will reach 250 billion yuan.
The problem is that such a scale cannot be achieved overnight with simple government support.
People in the industry understand that as far as the current domestic IoT industry is concerned, the key links such as chips, sensors, and cloud services mostly need to be "started from scratch." Links such as system integration are not industry-critical. It is not easy to cultivate truly competitive large enterprises. .
A Wuxi official said that in private, many people are worried about Wuxi. “Now the country looks at Wuxi. If the government ’s money goes down, what will happen if no leading companies come out after two or three years?â€
Perhaps because of this, when many cities jumped out to compete for the initiative of the Internet of Things, Wuxi's performance was surprisingly calm.
"We have to talk less and only do things now." Zhang Keping said, "No matter how famous, no matter how good the concept is, it is what we want to do now is to really promote the industrialization of the Internet of Things, cultivate the industrial environment, and promote industry standards. And support successful companies. "
When saying this, the bank of Taihu Lake was already dimly lit, Zhang Keping put on his sneakers and walked along the lake. For him, this has been the best relaxation for a while, and in the following week, a new round of research in IoT companies will begin again.
Chasing the "Highlands"
Unlike Wuxi in the spotlight, in more places, the Internet of Things is still a piece of "sweet meat" that needs to be scrambled. For example, in Shanghai, this industry was once dubbed by some insiders as "waking up early in the morning and rushing to a late set. "city of.
Liu Haitao, the main promoter of the Wuxi Internet of Things and the dean of the Wuxi Institute of Internet of Things, is another deputy director of the Shanghai Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. As early as 2005, a Shanghai Electronic Label and Internet of Things Industry-University-Research Alliance was established in Shanghai by 12 companies, universities and research institutes. Since then, Shanghai's Internet of Things research has once been leading the country, and there are few places in Shanghai that can match the foundation of the integrated circuit industry and IT industry.
However, after Premier Wen Jiabao inspected Wuxi, domestic research institutions, enterprises, and venture capitals gathered in Wuxi, and Shanghai could only watch. In Shanghai, the Internet of Things has not been ranked as the highest priority, but in the second-tier cities in the Yangtze River Delta, such as Wuxi, it has already become a "No. 1 project" under heavy investment by local investment and regarded as overtaking hope.
"The land in Zhangjiang, Shanghai has risen to a high level, and government subsidies are also limited, but in second-tier cities, the government can even give away the right to use the land to Internet of Things companies and provide supporting funds or subsidies." An industry source said.
Shanghai has not given up its efforts to compete for the Internet of Things. On March 2, 2010, the Shanghai Internet of Things Center was inaugurated in Jiading, Shanghai, declaring that it will build the most competitive and internationally influential IoT technology research and development base in China. A month and a half later, Shanghai renewed its efforts to release the "Plan" and identify Jiading District and Pudong New Area as two IoT industrial bases in Shanghai. It is planned to encourage IoT-related enterprises to concentrate in industrial parks by establishing application demonstration parks and industrial parks. , Inclined in terms of land use, housing, research and development subsidies, project approval, etc., and ultimately achieve "post-control".
"Although Shanghai has certain restrictions in terms of cost and other factors, Shanghai also has its own advantages that cannot be copied." Zhang Aiping, deputy director of the Economic and Information Commission of Shanghai Pudong New Area, told reporters from Caijing Nianjing that, for example, Shanghai has more professional talents. And industrial foundation; as a financial center, shipping center and business center, Shanghai can promote the industrialization and marketization of the Internet of Things in many fields.
"The slogan we are now proposing is Smart Pudong, which is divided into 7 areas and 7 teams are organized. Governments, enterprises, or entrusted consulting agencies can carry out related planning or carry out industrial research." Zhang Aiping revealed that at present, Pudong is working Under the framework of the Shanghai Internet of Things plan, declare the national leading area for Internet of Things application innovation, "We plan to promote the Internet of Things in Pudong and even Shanghai through government planning and guidance, as well as optimizing the industrial environment and opening the field appropriately to encourage Internet of Things applications. Industrialization of networking.
Shanghai is not exceptional. An industry source said that in China, as long as local governments with certain strengths have mostly joined the chasing of the Internet of Things.
For the time being, Beijing, which is supported by the state, Shanghai, Wuhan, and Guangzhou, which are supported by industry alliances, and even Chongqing, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou, which are promoted by operators, mostly regard Wuxi as a "virtual enemy" and have introduced themselves. IoT development plan.
"The" highland "competition for the Internet of Things industry is about to start." Insiders commented.
c Anti-malignant internal friction
In the eyes of the industry, the pursuit of the Internet of Things in various cities is understandable.
"At present, more active cities basically have a strong industrial foundation, and have different levels of industrialization and marketization driving force, suitable for the development of the Internet of Things." The person said, but for now, the country still lacks a unified Planning.
"The directions and contents of the plans issued in various places are relatively close, and there are few prominent features. Basically, there are no specific support policies for the key links of the Internet of Things industry. If you do not conduct overall planning, it may become a duplicate of the lack of core competitiveness. Construction, falling into vicious competition and internal friction. "This person said that unified planning by the central government or relevant ministries and commissions is imperative.
The person believes that in the unified planning, the differences in the industrial conditions of various regions can be considered to focus on supporting key links in the industrial chain.
In addition to the government, industrial giants such as operators are also enthusiastic about the Internet of Things.
Wang Jianzhou, president of China Mobile, mentioned the Internet of Things repeatedly in public in the first half of 2009. During the two sessions in 2010, he also submitted a proposal for the development of the Internet of Things and the promotion of informatization. In various places, China Mobile's Internet of Things applications are gradually spread out.
China Telecom and China Unicom started a little later, but have made rapid progress. In November 2009, China Telecom and Unicom successively established an IoT laboratory in Wuxi, which was only a few days before and after China Mobile. Within the two companies, the IoT industry survey and strategic analysis have already begun.
Industry insiders said that based on previous international experience, operators may be the most effective promoters of the Internet of Things. "Through the integration of wireless sensor networks and operators' business networks, operators can launch more value-added service applications, and the Internet of Things can be quickly promoted."
It is not only telecom operators that see this, but also the “network†giants such as broadcasting grid operating enterprises and State Grid that are undergoing market transformation.
Broadcasting has already begun to discuss the formulation of a master plan for the Internet of Things based on the broadcast and television digital network and even NGB (Next Generation Broadcasting and Television Network), and plans to release it in 2010.
"The entire industry chain related to the Internet of Things hopes to participate." An industry source said.
"In this process, the formulation and unification of standards is critical." Xing Tao, deputy secretary general of the National Working Group on Sensor Networks, said that both local governments and participating companies hope to strengthen their control of the industry chain by participating in the development of standards However, this may eventually lead to the decentralization and difficulty of implementation of standards. “Although standard setting is originally the result of a game of interests of all parties, from the perspective of national industrial development, the standards of the Internet of Things should also have a unified plan in advance to avoid The restlessness of the industry chain has added to the ups and downs of China's standard setting. "
