Challenges in the transformation and upgrading of the 5G IOT

With the advent of the 5G era, what kind of development will the Industrial Internet of Things usher in?

When the Industrial Internet of Things meets 5G

With the characteristics of large bandwidth, low latency, and wide coverage, 5G has solved the network problems of the Industrial Internet of Things. However, at this stage, there are still many challenges in the transformation and upgrading of the Industrial Internet of Things using 5G.

1. The challenge of base station construction

5G has been commercialized, but the construction of 5G base stations has not yet been completed, 5G signals have not yet been covered in a large area, and 5G applications have been restricted.

2. Cost challenge

5G phenomenon-level applications have not yet appeared, which means that 5G terminal demand is still at a low level, resulting in low 5G chip production and high costs, and module costs are several dozen times higher than 4G. When 5G is truly popularized from base stations to application terminals, the Industrial Internet of Things will also reach a new level in terms of network deployment efficiency.

3. Standard challenge

The standards of industrial Internet of Things equipment and systems are not uniform. To realize automation of industrial software, it needs to coordinate various equipment and be compatible with the private agreements of different manufacturers.

4. Talent challenge

The industrial chain of the Industrial Internet is relatively long, and the requirements for talents are very high. At present, there is a relative shortage of talents in this area.

5. Security Challenge

Cloud computing, especially public clouds, cannot dispel the security concerns of business owners. After privatization, it has brought about non-standard problems. These problems are not only the difficulties faced by the current industrial Internet of Things development, but also the opportunities for entrepreneurs.

In the future, what segments of the Industrial Internet of Things will be ushered in?

1. Industrial Gateway

In the 5G era, industrial gateways will have higher-performance networks and become an important infrastructure for edge computing. Localized functions such as image recognition, path planning, and pattern recognition can be solved at the gateway level.

2. Industrial IoT security

Network security is a higher-level network requirement. At the network level of the Industrial Internet of Things, there are major demands for interconnection, high-performance networks, and secure networks. With the digital transformation of enterprises, the network security requirements of the Industrial Internet of Things will also usher in explosive growth.

3. Industrial intelligent robot

The demand for industrial robots in my country is strong, and the current procurement volume is the largest in the world. However, the density of industrial robots is insufficient, and the independent ability of industrial robot R&D and production is insufficient. The two shortcomings contain huge room for development.

4. Network module

After the popularization of the Industrial Internet and the Industrial Internet of Things, each device and each sensor needs a corresponding transmission module, so the demand for network modules will also usher in explosive growth.
