Huawei executive Ding Wei: joint innovation does not eat single food

Tencent Technology Guo Xiaofeng reported on February 17 that in the face of the weak traditional telecom business market and the terminal business that has not yet occupied the core position of revenue, Huawei is in urgent need of opening up new growth space.
It is understood that on the eve of the 2016 World Mobile Congress, Huawei continued the theme of the all-connected world last year, targeting the billion-dollar video industry, the trillion-dollar enterprise IT cloud transformation market, and the upcoming Internet of Things with 10 times user growth. For the first time, the industry has proposed five major directions for operators' digital transformation: big video, big IT, big operation, large architecture, and large pipeline.
In an exclusive interview with Tencent Technology, Huawei’s managing director, product and solution president Ding Wei said, “The communications industry has not had a big bubble. From the perspective of Huawei, we predict that the industry development in 2016 will be more optimistic. Huawei will be in this The show will focus on a series of solutions such as 4.5G, IoT (Internet of Things) and Safe City to help global operators and corporate customers achieve agile innovation, rapid transformation and commercial success in the digital age."
According to Huawei's forecast, the number of IoT devices will be close to 100 billion by 2025, and the newly deployed sensors will reach 2 million per hour. Not surprisingly, the next Red Sea of ​​the mobile Internet will erupt in the Internet of Things era.
To this end, Huawei announced the strategy of the Internet of Things last year, namely the "1+2+1" strategy. That is, through an IoT platform equipped with the Internet of Things system, an ecological environment is built in the network environment of wired access and wireless access. At the technical level, Huawei will continue to advance NB-IoT (narrowband Internet of Things technology based on cellular networks).
In Ding's eyes, the ecological development of the Internet of Things will have an important impact on Huawei's overall future revenue compared to the 4.5G construction and experience-enhanced 4K video technology of the underlying network. However, how to build the ecology of the Internet of Things is Huawei's biggest challenge. Smartphones connect people to people easily, but the number and access standards between things are relatively more complicated.
To this end, Huawei has opened up many capabilities to partners and developers. First open the ICT architecture to create a true software-defined network that will achieve the Network 2020 goal. Secondly, open IoT connections and open up IoT connections for large operators. There are also open clouds, big data, and building video ecosystems. In October last year, Huawei also released the developer's ecological strategy and the "fertile" program for developers, and announced that it will invest $1 billion in five years to build a developer's development enablement platform and joint innovation.
"Everyone is worried that Huawei will become an industry monopoly. We believe that to be a leader, the so-called leader is the leader, and the second is to lead our partners to do it together. This is a challenge for Huawei. "Ding Wei said.
It is understood that the current Internet of Things is still in its infancy, mainly to connect various devices to the Internet; to the next stage, more and more "smart" devices will appear, they can not only collect data, but also transmit Data, also with real intelligence, can make corresponding judgments on the results of data processing and analysis, which will eventually change people's living habits and promote more new applications and opportunities, and truly realize the change from quantitative to qualitative.
Not only Huawei, but many giants have long heard of the business opportunities of the Internet of Things. Last year, IBM officially announced the establishment of the Internet of Things business unit, investing 3 billion US dollars in 4 years, Google (microblogging) first launched the operating system called "Brillo" and Weave communication protocol, Cisco launched a new Internet of Things system, Intel's new generation of Intel products The networking platform was officially launched, and Apple's first HomeKit products began to be sold. In the face of so many competitors, how does Huawei face it?
Huawei has previously emphasized that Huawei's open cooperation and construction will not be applied upwards, and will not touch the data downwards, insist on focusing on the I layer, enabling the P layer and the S layer. In addition, Huawei is more focused on the accumulation of technology than other giants through the wings of the MMA.
It is understood that at this exhibition, Huawei will focus on the intelligent product solutions based on NB-IoT technology. A system involving smart meter reading, smart parking, and an intelligent tracking system capable of managing item location information.
