One year after the release of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s “Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the Internet of Things”, on February 17, The State Council’s Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Orderly and Healthy Development of the Internet of Things (hereinafter referred to as the “Guiding Opinions”) was officially announced. The guidelines propose that by 2015, the large-scale demonstration application of the Internet of Things in important areas of economy and society will be achieved, a number of core technologies will be broken through, an initial industrial system of the Internet of Things will be formed, and the security guarantee ability will be significantly improved. This is another shot in the arm for a large number of iot companies that are stumbling ahead.

Orderly and healthy development is the main theme

“Compared with the” Twelfth Five-Year Plan “for the Internet of Things, the guiding opinions clearly put forward the” orderly and healthy development “, which is exactly the country’s cold thinking about the virtual heat of the Internet of things at present.” When talking about the biggest characteristics of the guidance issued this time, Dr. Chen Baoguo of the Institute of International Technical Economics of the Development Research Center of The State Council told China Electronics News.

The guideline mentioned that the global Internet of Things is in its initial stage of development, and blind construction occurs in some places in China, which urgently needs to strengthen guidance and speed up the solution. For this kind of blind investment and construction, Wang Huan, general manager of the semiconductor industry Research Center of CCID Consulting, told the reporter of China Electronics News that at present, about 90% of China’s provinces will take the Internet of Things or smart cities as the main direction of development, without considering the real local market demand.

Zhu Hongbo, vice president of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications and dean of the Internet of Things Research Institute, regards the guidance as a sign that the country officially regards the Internet of Things as a starting point for promoting future economic growth, and will guide the healthy and orderly development of the Internet of Things. “The Internet of Things is not hype, nor is it a ‘new bottle of old wine’, it is the integration of the information industry and all walks of life.” He felt deeply.

In the past three years, the development of the Internet of Things has shown virtual heat. “There is a lack of strategic and overall vision in the development of the Internet of things, and it seems that the projects or projects related to the network and information technology are named ‘Internet of Things’, and there is no in-depth research and implementation of the entire global, forward-looking and profound, including forward-looking technologies.” Chen Baoguo analysis, the current stage of the Internet of things enterprises are generally small and medium-sized enterprises, the lack of core, flagging enterprises; The core technology system of the Internet of things, including the coding system and application standards have not been formed, and the technology of UHF chips and high-precision sensors is weak; The application model of the integration of the Internet of Things and economic and social development needs to be innovated. “If we keep hyping it for a few more years, we may miss the development opportunity.”

“Although the technical threshold is not high, the uneven maturity of the core links and key technologies of the Internet of Things has led to slow development in recent years, especially in the terminal application level has not been widely used.” Li Jun, general manager of Technology center of Rohm Semiconductor (Shanghai) Co., LTD., an international semiconductor leader, commented on the dilemma of China’s Internet of Things industry.
