5G Makes Our Lives Smarter in IoT Applications

Every time there is a generational change in communication technology, people just see mobile phone manufacturers singing in the foreground. But I have to say communication manufacturers like Huawei are working hard behind the scenes. Huawei has invested a lot of manpower and financial resources in the research and development of 5G technology for many years and luckily has achieved fruitful results. According to Huawei's published data, Huawei has received 5G orders in more than 20 countries around the world. This is just the beginning, and with technology and cost advantages, Huawei should get more orders in the future.

Every upgrade and evolution of communication technology means that the information transmission speed of the new technology will be faster and more stable than the previous generation technology. From the 4G era to the 5G era, the information transmission speed has improved qualitatively. The transmission speed of a 4G network is generally tens of megabits per second, and the fastest is only hundreds of megabits per second. The transmission speed of the 5G network can easily reach several gigabytes per second, and a second can download a Blu-ray movie.

Of course, 5G technology is not mainly used for movies. The main application mode of 5G is the Internet of Things. At this transmission speed of 5G, the communication delay will be much shorter. In the 4G era, even if the signal is very good, there will be a noticeable delay in the WeChat video. But the delay does not exist at all in the 5G era, and the feeling of video calls and face-to-face conversations is almost the same.

Some domestic companies have long begun to carry out the layout of the Internet of Things, such as Xiaomi. When Xiaomi began to do its ecological chain, it was ridiculed by many people as Xiaomi grocery stores and Xiaomi department stores. But in the AIOT conference, Lei Jun announced that there are now 120 million devices involved in the Xiaomi Internet of Things platform in the world.

Xiaomi is a relatively early deployment, but it is not too late for large companies with technology and data resources. For example, Jingdong started its deployment this year. Jingdong integrated its technical advantages in the field of artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing into this platform, which is fully open to the hardware industry. As long as the intelligent technology of the Xiaojingyu platform is integrated, ordinary hardware products can be turned into intelligent hardware products. Jingdong did not choose to make its products like Xiaomi did, but chose to build its own IoT platform through the output of technology and services.

The Internet of Things will interconnect various devices and facilities in our life and work, help us save more time, and greatly improve our work efficiency and life efficiency. Maybe this kind of life is a smarter life.
