The number of Internet of things connections in China will exceed 2 billion by the end of 2023! Major cities have initially built new infrastructure for the Internet of things! Breakthrough in innovation capability, continuous improvement of industrial ecology, continuous expansion of application scale, and more sound support system

These exciting goals are the three-year action plan for the construction of new infrastructure for the Internet of things (2021-2023) jointly issued by the Ministry of industry and information technology, the office of the central network security and Information Technology Commission, the Ministry of science and technology, the Ministry of ecological environment, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas, the National Health Commission and the national energy administration (hereinafter referred to as the action plan). In recent years, the global Internet of things is booming. The number of Internet of things connections has exceeded the number of connections between people, strongly driving the arrival of the intelligent era of interconnection of all things. The action plan undoubtedly injects a "booster" into the development of China's Internet of things So, what is the current development effect of the Internet of things in China? How can we develop the technology, application and ecology as the "troika" of the development of the Internet of things? Therefore, the reporter of the people's post and Telecommunications recently interviewed Luo song, deputy director of the Institute of industry and property of the Chinese Academy of communications and communications.

Internet of things has become an important "fulcrum" of digital economy

"As an important part of a new generation of new infrastructure, the Internet of things is an important support for the development of digital economy during the 14th Five Year Plan period, and the development of the Internet of things is the deployment requirement of the national strategy," Luo Song said.

"13th five year plan" Since, China has made remarkable achievements in the development of the Internet of things, and the overall scale of the industry has increased rapidly to 2.4 trillion yuan. By the end of 2020, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have ranked first in the scale of the Internet of things industry, with an output value of more than 200 billion yuan; Shanghai, Beijing, Shandong, Liaoning, Fujian construction, Jiangxi, Chongqing and other provinces have ranked second, with an output value of 50 billion to 200 billion yuan. In the total industrial output With the rapid growth of the scale of the Internet of things, the standards of the Internet of things have been continuously improved and the applications have been continuously enriched. The 13th five year plan During this period, China issued 145 national standards and 62 industrial standards in the field of Internet of things, and 36 national standards and 27 industrial standards are under research. With the vigorous development of applications, the industry enabling role of Internet of things is further highlighted: in the field of manufacturing, new application modes such as remote operation and maintenance, energy monitoring and security monitoring have emerged; in the field of urban governance, video monitoring is based Cross domain data opening and sharing mechanisms for applications such as, environmental monitoring, smart smoke detection and smart street lamps have gradually taken shape.

"The Internet of things is the key support to promote the digital transformation of the industry." Novel coronavirus pneumonia, new infrastructure and new application system, are deeply integrated with the traditional industries such as industry, agriculture and energy. It is the infrastructure and key elements of digital transformation. Meanwhile, the Internet of things is also an important means to improve the level of government governance under the new crown pneumonia epidemic situation. Network technology can support the construction of an urban perception system with comprehensive coverage, dynamic monitoring and rapid response, and help solve many problems in urban governance, such as the backward material overall planning system and the imperfect regional coordination system. For ordinary people, the Internet of things can help upgrade consumption. At present, the people's demand for a better life is becoming stronger and stronger, clothing, food, housing, transportation and entertainment A variety of new consumption patterns have emerged in the scene, and the potential of the Internet of things on the consumer side is exploding.

It is worth noting that as the industrial scale and market value of the Internet of things are continuously favored by the global industry, the ecological competition of the global Internet of things industry with the Internet of things platform as the "position" is further intensified. For this reason, the introduction of the action plan coincides with the time, and clear objectives and effective measures will effectively drive the building of a powerful Internet of things country.

Troika comprehensively enhance competitiveness

Breakthrough in key technologies, improvement of industrial ecology and expansion of application scale are the three keys to enhance the competitiveness of China's Internet of things industry, and the action plan uniformly gives the starting point and policy guidance.

The key technologies of the Internet of things urgently need to make up for their weaknesses. Luo song pointed out that at present, China's Internet of things industry still has weaknesses in key technology fields such as intelligent sensing, network communication and information processing; there is insufficient technological innovation in key links such as sensing, transmission, processing, storage and security, and key technologies such as high-end sensors, Internet of things chips, new short-range communication and edge computing still need to be improved Increase efforts to tackle key problems, and the upgrading of the technical basis of the Internet of things still needs to be steadily promoted.

The action plan defines three major driving points for key technology breakthroughs. First, focus on key technology breakthroughs and "take the lead" through implementation , encourage and support backbone enterprises to increase their efforts to tackle key core technologies such as high-end sensors, Internet of things chips, new short-range communication and high-precision positioning. Second, promote technology integration and innovation, strengthen the integration and development of 5g, big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other new technologies with the Internet of things, and improve the perception ability of Internet of things terminals and the data processing ability and intelligence of application platforms Third, build a collaborative innovation mechanism, encourage local leading enterprises, scientific research institutes and universities to establish a number of IOT technology incubation and innovation centers, and mobilize animal networking industry technology alliances, foundations, open source communities and other institutions to form a joint force for collaborative innovation.

The industrial ecology of the Internet of things needs to be continuously improved. Luo song pointed out that the action plan expands the industrial ecology of the Internet of things from two dimensions: cultivating diversified market players and strengthening industrial agglomeration. On the one hand, it leads ecological construction with diversified market players and cultivates leading enterprises and "specialized, special and new" by category Small giant enterprises and Internet of things operators and service providers form a pattern of financing and development of large, medium and small enterprises. On the other hand, build an innovation ecology with industrial agglomeration, strengthen the construction of Internet of things demonstration bases, continuously track and evaluate the construction effect of existing demonstration bases, cultivate new Internet of things demonstration bases at a high level, and further guide the development of industrial agglomeration.

As an important part of the industrial ecology of the Internet of things, Internet of things enterprises should comprehensively consider their own development foundation, the urgency of their field's demand for the Internet of things and their economic benefits The mentioned three major areas of social governance, industrial application and people's livelihood consumption focus on improving the service capacity of the Internet of things. In order to promote the modernization of social governance, enterprises can participate in exploring the Internet of things services in municipal, rural, transportation, energy, public health and other fields; in order to promote industrial transformation and upgrading, enterprises can start to promote the Internet of things and agriculture, manufacturing, construction, ecological environmental protection, culture and tourism In order to promote consumption upgrading, enterprises should strengthen the research and development of intelligent products in the fields of home and health, and constantly expand the breadth and depth of the application of Internet of things technology.

The benefits of the Internet of things to the whole society are inseparable from the implementation of applications. "Although the depth and breadth of Internet of things applications are constantly expanding, the fragmentation of Internet of things applications still exists due to the different development conditions of various segments." Luo song pointed out.

At present, the application of Internet of things is mainly reflected in three scenarios: governance modernization, industrial digitization and intelligent life. Accordingly, the action plan In order to expand the application scale, efforts will be mainly made in the following three areas. In the field of social governance, we will promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional infrastructure such as transportation, energy, municipal administration, health and health, and integrate the perception terminal into the unified planning and construction of public infrastructure. In the field of industrial application, we will focus on the digital transformation and intelligence in the fields of agriculture, manufacturing, construction, ecological environment, culture and tourism Upgrade to the driving force and accelerate the application deployment of sensing terminals such as data acquisition terminals, meters and controllers. In the field of people's livelihood consumption, promote the application deployment of sensing terminals and intelligent products in families, buildings and communities, and accelerate the popularization of Internet of things terminals such as wearable devices, intelligent medical and health products and intelligent sports equipment.

To sum up, under the guidance of the action plan and driven by the joint efforts of technology, ecology and application, the future of China's Internet of things is full of expectations.
