“What will be hot and what to learn in 2022? This article is participating in the” Talk about 2022 Technology Trends “essay campaign.

1. Basic Concepts

The Internet of Things is a very broad concept, which means that various devices and machines can be connected and exchanged information through the Internet, realizing the ubiquitous connection between things and things, and between things and people, as well as the intelligent perception, recognition and management of objects and processes.

At present, the investment in the primary market of the Internet of Things in China is more stable, and the capital is gradually concentrated in the middle and later stage, and high-quality enterprises continue to emerge. The industrial chain has formed a closed-loop development and stepped into the stage of multi-field integrated development and large-scale innovation, which is mainly applied in household, medical, transportation and other fields.

2. Recent hotspot issues

On January 13, 2022, the World Internet of Things Conference was held in Beijing, ushering in a new pattern of the Internet of Things era, building a new world economy of the Internet of Things, and putting forward a new economic model of the Internet of Things for sustainable development.

9 February 2022 Telstra has signed a A $100 million iot contract with utility services company Intellihub to provide up to 4.1 million iot SIM cards for Intellihub’s smart meters, providing real-time monitoring of different elements of the energy network.

Recently, Intel released financial results, 2021 annual revenue 79 billion, a slight increase of 1%; Net income of $19.9bn, down 5 per cent; Among business segments, the fastest growth is the Internet of Things and autonomous driving. Among them, the annual revenue of the Internet of Things segment was $4 billion, up 33% year on year;

Third, mainstream development platform

1. Amazon Cloud Technology (AWS)

Aws iot services can connect and manage billions of devices, store and analyze industrial, consumer, commercial and automotive workload data, forming a vast ecosystem of cloud services.

2. Ali cloud

Ali Cloud Iot platform is an integrated platform that integrates device management, data security communication and message subscription functions. However, functionality and services such as device connectivity, cloud apis and server subscriptions are limited after using the iot platform.

3. Tencent cloud

Tencent Yipong provides property managers, institutions and supporting businesses with a set of digital management services based on identity recognition and the ability to receive and pay accounts, realizing access control management, building consumption, visitor management and other multi-scene management, realizing intelligent management and improving user experience.

4. Huawei cloud

Huawei Cloud IoT platform provides access and management capabilities for massive devices. You can connect your IoT devices to huawei cloud to collect device data and send commands to devices for remote control.

4. Domestic market

1.

​

  • Transportation: bicycle, car, taxi, high-speed rail, plane, ship and other means of transportation
  • Transaction records: Internet records, call records, user behavior, finance, securities
  • Environmental monitoring: monitoring weather, air, lakes, rivers, geology, forests, etc
  • Smart city: water meter, gas meter, urban pipeline, smart home, smart building

2. Al

From 2016 to 2020, the compound growth rate of Internet of Things connections in China is as high as 69.1%, and it is estimated that the number of Internet of Things connections in China will reach 8.8 billion in 2021. With the steady penetration of 5G commercial and industrial iot, the total number of Internet of Things connected in China will reach 15.6 billion in 2025, and the Internet of everything will become the coming reality instead of the imagination of people in the past.

3. The network

The “network” of the Internet of Things, based on 5G technology to meet the high speed and low delay of the Internet of things, the network of our daily life, improve the efficiency of life.

5. Foreign markets

The Iot market reached $761.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $1.39 trillion by 2026, according to Mordor Intelligence. The growth is mainly in a few industrial sectors, namely manufacturing, retail and healthcare (affected by the overseas epidemic). Let’s take a look at foreign iot service vendors.

  • Intel
  • cisco
  • IBM
  • amazon
  • Google

Iot cloud provider

  • Google cloud
  • AWS
  • Microsoft azure
  • IBM Watson

Iot sensor supplier

  • Bosch
  • honeywell
  • IBM
  • Ericsson

Six, industry trends

1. Fusion blockchain

In Today’s China, the number of Internet of Things device applications and data storage shows explosive growth, so the privacy computing of data value analysis, security protection and so on is increasingly urgent. As blockchain itself is imtamable, records and storage on the data chain ensure the authenticity of data sources. Therefore, blockchain not only plays a role in virtual currency, but also determines the authenticity and reliability of the data source of the Internet of Things.

2. The Power Meta-universe

Based on the interconnection of all things, the meta-universe hopes to build a virtual world that maps and interacts with the real world by means of science and technology. At present, under the background of the epidemic and demographic dividend gradually disappearing and the urbanization process gradually accelerating, the Internet of Things has realized commercialization through the binding of high-end market applications under the concept of meta-universe.

3. Advance 5G communications

Since huawei started 5G technology research in 2009, it has won more than 70 5G commercial contracts, and more than 500,000 5G AAU have been shipped around the world. In May 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Notice on Further Promoting the Comprehensive Development of the Mobile Internet of Things, aiming to meet the requirements of the Internet of Things with high speed and low delay with 5G technology and continuously promote the construction of network infrastructure. At present, as 5G gradually steps into large-scale application from benchmark construction, the commercial value of 5G mass iot connection for operators needs to be further explored.

4. 4, Tardiness

By the end of 2021, the number of connected iot devices in China reached 8 billion, and it is expected to exceed 15 billion by 2025. However, China’s infrastructure is weak, and most enterprise development is focused on the application layer, but there is still a certain distance compared with the United States in core technologies such as sensors and chips. In the future, development should focus on infrastructure and core computing power.
