From addition to multiplication
At present, China ranks first in the world in 5G base stations, 5G application innovation applications, 5G standard patents, and 5G terminal connections. But what we need to know is that China’s “5G+ industrial Internet” integration is still in its infancy.
So, how to do a good job of the addition of 5G and industrial Internet, accelerate the release of the multiplier effect of the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and achieve the icing on the cake? Gong Shukai, CEO of Chongqing Kublai Network Technology Co., LTD., said in an interview with a reporter from the Communication Industry News that to promote the deep integration of the two and break through the existing constraints, it is necessary to start from three aspects. First, strengthen the foundation for development and implement policies in different categories. Second, strengthen technology research and development and standard formulation, cross-field. Cooperate with leading enterprises in various fields of industry to promote the construction of 5G+ industrial Internet standard system in core technology, integration, application and other aspects; Third, build a sound industrial ecology. Promote the integration and innovation of “5G+ Industrial Internet” and new technologies such as artificial intelligence, edge computing, and blockchain, and jointly promote the industrial ecology of the development and application of “5G+ Industrial Internet”.
Many experts believe that in-depth scenario cracking problems and building a development model to promote the enthusiasm of all parties are the key to affecting the future development of “5G+ industrial Internet” in both technical and commercial dimensions.
In-depth application scenarios, it is necessary to speed up the formulation of 5G standards. At present, 5G is gradually penetrating into the core production scene of enterprises, but the existing industrial network is difficult to meet the requirements of high real-time and highly reliable direct collection of field-level data. Although the three major features of 5G, including enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communication (LR) and large-scale machine communication (mMTC), make up for the shortcomings of traditional wireless technology. But for industrial wireless networks, eMBB does not meet the requirements, because industrial real-time protocols rely on low latency and high reliability, as stated in the RUL LC standard, which is only available in the R16 version. However, the 5G technology currently available on the market is actually based on the R15 version, so before the official commercial use of the 5G R16 version, the existing 5G can not meet the communication network needs of the industrial scene, so in order to in-depth the scene, it is necessary to accelerate the commercial pace of 5G related standards.
The business model of 5G and industrial Internet integration needs to be further explored. At present, the application of “5G+ Industrial Internet” has huge investment in 5G network construction and operation, and different services and scenarios have different bandwidth requirements and network resource consumption on the network. At the same time, the one-time investment cost and later use cost of enterprises in the construction of industrial Internet are high, the capital recovery cycle is long, and the lack of scientific and reasonable business model will affect the enthusiasm of all parties to participate to a certain extent. Whether it is for operators, equipment manufacturers or industrial enterprises, the integration and development of 5G and industrial Internet pose a huge challenge to the business model of the entire ecosystem.
Xin Pengjun, editor-in-chief of all media of Communications Industry News, believes that 5G is an important network iteration of the communications industry under the guidance of the “moderately advanced” policy of the competent authorities, and 5G industry application is the value of the development of 5G. The industrial Internet is a very successful “industrial digitalization” innovation movement in recent years by the competent authorities to promote the new industrialization road and deepen the integration of the two. The superposition and mixing of 5G and the industrial Internet have natural advantages, internal needs, and original power. 5G and the industrial Internet are not only simple superposition, but also multiplication effect, upgrading multiplication and two-way empowerment. 5G and industrial Internet applications face only one topic, which is to serve the needs of industry. Solving the practical problems of industry is what “5G+ Industrial Internet” is all about. Okay? It’s up to the user. Can truly understand the industry, how much to solve the needs, the future “5G+ industrial Internet” deep development can go far.
“5G+ Industrial Internet” has long become the future development trend and the core of competition between countries, and has attracted great attention around the world. Although the development momentum is good and the results are beginning to appear, it is undeniable that it is still in its infancy, and there are still many problems to be solved. With the concerted promotion of government, industry, universities and research parties, in the next three years, we hope to see a different spark of “5G+ industrial Internet” collision.
