Recently, the hottest topic in the communications industry is inseparable5G-A and AITwo key words.
2024 is the first year of 5G-A commercialization, and the three major operators showed their "secrets**" of 5G-A commercial deployment on the world stage last week, demonstrating their "ambition" to compete with 5G-A.
China UnicomThe first new generation of IoT platformGewu platform plusIt is a new platform for technologies such as 5G-A passive Internet of Things (IoT) and integrated synaesthesia, and is one of the "secrets" of China Unicom to build an intelligent and connected world.
Gewu platform plus has been upgradedNetwork Communication, Data Computing, Intelligence**Based on passive IoT technology, Gewu supports IoT terminal access with multiple networks and different protocols, and can be implemented for low-latency and high-reliability scenarios in industrial sitesMillisecond-level message transmission carried by hundreds of millions of devices
For example, the traditional automobile production line, because of the upgrading of models, often needs a small change every year, a major change every three years, production line adjustment and equipment disassembly bring problems such as long cycles, the use of 5G-A does not need to adjust the network, can shorten the commissioning cycle and quickly go online.
At the same time, Gewu platform PLUS has been upgraded in terms of passive Internet of Things access, device message transmission, and spatio-temporal data fusion computing.
The two platforms of CMP and DMP can provide industry customers with full-process IoT connection management, device management, data analysis and application development services, helping customers access and manage heterogeneous IoT devices more efficiently, analyze and process massive data, and improve application efficiency.
As we all know, starting from 2022, the number of end users of the Internet of Things represented by "things" has exceeded the number of mobile ** users represented by "people" for the first time, and China has officially entered".Thing superman"Times.
By the end of 2023, the three major operators have developed a total of 23 IoT users3.2 billion households, accounting for nearly 60% of the number of mobile network terminal connections, the development speed of the Internet of Things market is far ahead.
In 2023, the size of China's Internet of Things market will be about3.9 trillionIn the era of the Internet of Everything, industries such as the Internet of Vehicles, smart home, and industrial manufacturing have brought trillions of "red ocean markets" to IoT terminals.
Emerging services, such as the Internet of Things, big data, and cloud computing, have unlocked new tracks for operators to support their revenue growth and promote their own digital transformation.
Compared with cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other fields, the threshold of the Internet of Things track is relatively low, for China Unicom, it seems that it is easier to focus on the Internet of Things market to "get points", China Unicom chooses "big connection, big data, big application, big security, big computing" as the main responsibility and main business, and on this basis, the relevant data is published on a monthly basis.
As of the end of January this year, China Unicom "Great connections"The cumulative number of users has reached 100.2 billion households, breaking through for the first timeThe billion markAmong them, the scale of Internet of Things terminal connection exceeds 500 million, and China Unicom, the "big cake" of the Internet of Things, is bound to win.
Facing key areas such as industrial Internet and smart cities, China Unicom focuses on rich industry applications and "customizes" exclusive solutions for government and enterprise customers.
In the first three quarters of 2023, China Unicom will completeIoT revenue 75200 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 219%The Internet of Things business is growing rapidly and has become another "pillar" business of China Unicom's revenue.
Before it is difficult to make new breakthroughs in the traditional personal communication market, China Unicom needs to seek new increments in emerging markets such as government and enterprises to cope with the continuous KPI assessment;
At the same time, the digital economy is booming, and in the face of the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation, China Unicom naturally has to continue to build its own "secrets" to compete with competitors.
In addition to the newly upgraded "Gewu Platform Plus", China Unicom also released the "1+4+10" 5G RedCap product matrix, opened 5G RedCap network services in 100 cities such as Foshan and Jinan, and "customized" the exclusive "5G industrial manufacturing private network" for different scenarios and industries, and output digital and intelligent solution ......
In the future, on the new track of 5G-A, it remains to be seen whether China Unicom can rely on new technologies to fight a beautiful "turnaround" and amaze the world.
