Now for the whole industry, the construction of 5g network is more like planting a seed, which will grow many new business opportunities, and even hundreds of billions and trillions of new opportunities will follow. Just like IOT industry, which has been developed for a period of time before, will usher in the opportunity of transformation because of the arrival of 5g, which is also one of the most promising industries for direct assistance after the arrival of 5g. So, under 5g, what are the business opportunities for the arrival of 5g? What are the advantages of 5g era in IOT field?
Why can 5g bring opportunities for IOT and other industries to take off?
Most of the time, people's understanding of IOT stays in the past. As long as more devices are connected to the Internet, a lot of convenience can be obtained, and data can start to flow and generate value. Even in the case of narrow-band Networking (2G / 3G communication, or 802.11b/g Wi Fi, excluding NB IOT), IOT applications still show great charm, and the industry is booming.
But in this form of IOT, there are actually many problems - network connection infrastructure, can not keep up with the development speed of IOT, it is easy to form a bottleneck, reducing the imagination of the IOT industry. For example, if driverless technology wants to achieve a higher level of automation, it must share data between vehicles and vehicles, vehicles and transportation systems in real time, so as to achieve more intelligent automatic driving. To achieve this level of information flow and calculation, it must rely on 5g network. For example, VR / AR applications, which have been developed for many years, have always been limited by the connection bandwidth, and the convenience and experience are greatly reduced. With 5g links, through cloud services, some large-scale VR games that need top-level hosts to run can even be launched anytime and anywhere, completely subverting the past experience.
In addition to these long-standing developments, which are limited by the application scenarios of connectivity, the development of emerging high technologies such as remote surgery and remote diagnosis is also restricted by the network. After the arrival of 5g, its reliability will be greatly improved, and once it develops, its industry will be completely changed. There are also many similar examples. After the arrival of 5g, an important infrastructure, both emerging businesses and businesses are ready to develop, they will undergo transformation. The arrival of practicality and commercialization will bring great industry opportunities.
At the launch of Huawei 5g multi-mode terminal chips and commercial terminals on January 24, Zhi Hao, President of Huawei consumer business wireless broadband and smart home product line, said: "IOT under 5g has a very good opportunity in the future, and Huawei is ready for the whole scene of people and cars. This also means that, with the support of Huawei 5g technology, both industry opportunities and consumer opportunities will cause chemical reactions, and IOT will become one of the industries with the biggest opportunities besides mobile phones.
What are the advantages of Huawei in the IOT field in the 5g era?
The hot 5g topic, which can never be separated from the keyword, is Huawei. IOT under 5g has huge opportunities, which has become the consensus of IOT industry. Many brands are also increasing investment in IOT, ready to meet the arrival of a new era. So, what are the advantages of Huawei, which is also an IOT player and deeply participates in the formulation of 5g standards?
Not long ago, Huawei IOT has released a 1 + 8 + X layout covering the whole scene. 1 refers to mobile phones, 8 refers to other 8 kinds of intelligent devices, and X refers to the Internet of things. This layout has two characteristics. One is that the hardware coverage is very complete. From the core mobile phone to x everything, there are layouts, and they all have the support of the underlying technology, such as chip level. Second, in terms of standards, Huawei has its own hilink protocol platform, which can form a complete ecosystem.
With such a comprehensive layout, Huawei is now entering the 5g era of Deep Participation in standard formulation. How can Huawei IOT imagine? How will Huawei give full play to its 5g technology advantages?
In the face of these problems, Zhi Hao said that Huawei's IOT full scene 1 + 8 + X is based on chip and hilink. After the arrival of 5g, the connection mode of IOT full scene will be switched to 5g, which will spawn more categories of IOT products. Because Huawei has mastered the key technologies from chip to protocol, Huawei is better at integrating 5g and other technologies into its products than other companies. He also stressed that Huawei has many years of accumulation in the full scene coverage, hundreds of millions of cumulative shipments in the "people and cars home" and rich experience in IOT application.
This is indeed Huawei's unique huge advantage that other brands can't match. Whether it can make in-depth use of 5g technology determines the foundation of many IOT scenarios. For example, broadband networks, the foundation of home IOT, are quite different in the world. In the Chinese market, optical broadband benefits from low price and high popularity. However, in the European and American markets, the cost of optical broadband is much higher, so the penetration rate is relatively low. After the advent of 5g, the 5g based CPE broadband access will provide a new choice for home broadband, which will even completely subvert the form of home broadband in countries with high fiber laying cost. Before the arrival of 5g, Huawei's overseas stock of CPE products reached 80 million. It can be imagined that in the 5g era, Huawei has the first advantage of ecological construction in the first link of IOT. In addition to home IOT, Huawei also has technical advantages in 5g base stations in other fields, such as mobile phones, Internet of vehicles and so on.
After the advent of 5g network, it will not only bring opportunities to mobile terminals, but also bring new opportunities to the whole industry. For example, if players want to play chicken eating game, they have to configure the top computer to enjoy the best effect. But in the 5g era, thanks to high bandwidth and low latency, computing power can be put in the cloud. The terminal only needs to do the final display, and players can enjoy the best game effect with VR glasses or mobile phones. This is just a case of application scenarios that have been subverted thousands of times, including the definition of home entertainment, Internet of vehicles, people and machines, etc., which will be changed again because of 5g.
5g super information superhighway: huge imagination space, subgrade is the most important
As I said earlier, one of Huawei's biggest advantages in the new era of IOT is its deep participation in 5g technology, which is also a major feature of Huawei's business - nothing can be done without the core chips. For example, in mobile phones, there are Hisilicon chips, servers, AI chips, 5g, and multi-mode terminal chips, Baron 5000.
This chip has many remarkable points. For example, a single chip supports 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G network system. In 5g network sub-6ghz band, the peak download rate can reach 4.6gbps, and in millimeter wave band, the peak download rate can reach 6.5gbps. It is also the industry leader in speed. At the same time, it also supports SA and NSA networking for the first time. It has advantages in performance, flexibility, adaptability and cost. It can be said that the Balong 5000 is the heart of Huawei's 5g layout.
It is not difficult to see that Huawei is also on the way of enabling the underlying technology in 5giot. By mastering the underlying core technology, Huawei can quickly make the technology landing and form a strong market competitiveness. The arrival of 5g not only brings huge market opportunities for mobile phone replacement, but also provides a new network architecture and material basis for IOT and other fields.
For 5g, even if there is no large-scale commercial use at present, some people are actively participating in it, such as the 5g application competition, which is the embodiment of positive attempts. However, some people think that 4G is fast enough, and 5g has no urgent demand. In my opinion, building 5g is like building expressways. If we only calculate the rate of return of road construction, it may not be a huge business. However, from the perspective of the improvement of logistics efficiency and the promotion of economic development brought by the highway construction, its derivative value is immeasurable. The development of 5g is the same. It is different from the past mobile communication and broadband access. 5g is a real information superhighway and has a very broad imagination. The core technology of 5g is equivalent to the high-speed access.
Before the full completion of 5g information high-speed access network, it is impossible to use the past vision and experience to judge where 5g is meaningful and where it is meaningless. 5g network is one of the most important infrastructures in the new era, which lays an indispensable material foundation for future innovation. When it comes to the right time, its subversive industries may be far more than we think. Therefore, faced with 5g opportunities, Chinese enterprises represented by Huawei have the ability to change the development path of global information technology industry through technological advantages. This is not only a great opportunity for the industry, but also an important opportunity for China's rejuvenation. Any enterprise that ignores 5g and skips 5g will eventually lose this era.
