According to reports, China Mobile is preparing to reduce the cost of IoT hardware and launching 2 billion IoT special subsidies, of which 1 billion are specifically prepared for NB-IoT, and the subsidy rate can reach 80%. Another 1 billion is subsidized by 4G IoT modules, and the subsidy rate can reach 50%.
At the "GNTC Global Network Technology Conference" held recently, Xue Yuan, director of cellular Internet of Things products of China Mobile Internet of Things Co., Ltd., said that China Mobile's strategic goal is to achieve more than 1.75 billion connections by 2020, becoming a global digital innovation. Leading operator. At present, the number of connections in the network has exceeded 200 million, and will reach 320 million in 2018. The number of API calls is now more than 2.4 billion times per month. And launched the 20 yuan and 40 yuan two-speed NB-IoT package, hoping to meet the needs of different industry customers for the network.
In order to achieve the strategic goal of 1.75 billion connections in 2020, China Mobile hopes to help the industry chain reduce the cost of IoT hardware.
According to Xue Yuan, China Mobile is reducing the cost of IoT terminals through special subsidies and building one-stop solutions.
On the special subsidy, at the just-concluded China Mobile Global Partner Conference, China Mobile announced the launch of a special subsidy of 2 billion IoT, hoping to further reduce terminal costs and accelerate the maturity of the industrial terminal. Among them, 1 billion is specially prepared for NB-IoT, the maximum subsidy rate can reach 80%, and the other 1 billion is used for 4G IoT module subsidies, and the subsidy rate reaches 50%.
In terms of creating a one-stop solution, China Mobile is providing a unified R&D platform and test platform for the industry through the OneNET platform and open API interface to solve the fragmentation of the IoT market and the long development cycle. R&D costs are high challenges.
For example, the OneNET platform will access the NB-IoT network, which can be quickly accessed and can achieve wide coverage, large connections, and low-cost IoT networking. At this year's China Mobile Global Cooperation Conference, China Mobile launched a new connection management platform that not only provides flexible lifecycle management, rich self-service capabilities, but also the ability to change the tariff directly to industry customers. In addition, it can be used for NB-IoT. Open more network capabilities through connectivity management platforms, such as power-saving capabilities, mobility capabilities, etc.; it also supports IoT roaming, and has covered 256 countries and regions around the world.
In terms of API interface, China Mobile's open API interface reaches more than 100 application scenarios involving seven categories.
Establishing the Internet of Things Alliance to create a new ecosystemIn addition to reducing the cost of IoT hardware, China Mobile has also joined forces with Huawei and ZTE to form the China Internet of Things Alliance, hoping to create a new ecosystem of Internet of Things.
According to Xue Yuan, the China Internet of Things Alliance will first set up corresponding executive committees in three areas: eSIM, NB-IoT, and open platform, and plan three development stages, including: incubation period, expansion period, and maturity period. In terms of gestation period, Xue Yuan takes NB-IoT as an example. The alliance hopes to work together with industry partners to fill the short board on the terminal side, such as high cost and application adaptation.
During the expansion period, the alliance hopes to bring together vertical chips and chip modules and equipment solutions upstream of NB-IoT, so that the industry can better make appropriate end-to-end solutions according to customer needs;
During the maturity period, it will provide more support to partners in terms of business. China Mobile has relevant network platforms and channel resources, and can also help partners to explore internationally. Xue Yuan said that China Mobile hopes that the entire market can achieve the greatest degree of prosperity.
