The Internet of Things (IoT) era is coming, and huge market opportunities are emerging. The Global Association for Mobile Communications Systems (GSMA) is actively connecting Qualcomm with other mobile industry leaders to jointly promote the Connected Life plan, through a new generation of mobile broadband network, wireless communication chips, and machine-to-machine (M2M) Group and software technology to accelerate the promotion of innovative IoT application environments such as mobile education, mobile healthcare, smart cars and smart cities.
Ana Tavares LatTIbeaudiere, head of the GSMA Interconnected Life Project, said that thanks to the rapid evolution of wireless communication standards and chip technology, the life situation of the Internet of Everything is no longer out of reach. In order to accelerate the formation of the industrial chain, GSMA is working hard to integrate the technological energy of hundreds of semiconductors, system manufacturers, software developers and terminal brand operators, and implement the Connected Life plan. At the same time, it also set a phased goal of breaking through 700 million connected devices for education, medical, automotive and smart city applications in 2013, and 20% of new cars with networking capabilities by 2015.
LatTIbeaudiere further emphasized that the Connected Life project will act as the locomotive of the Internet of Things industry, pushing the number of global connected devices to 25 billion units in 2020 and driving US $ 1.3 trillion business opportunities. Among them, in addition to the most prominent growth in the output value of mobile devices, including various consumer electronics, automobiles, medical and public facilities will also become the main force to expand the scale of the output value of the Internet of Things, it is estimated that by 2020 will reach 445 billion, Market size of USD 202 billion, USD 97 billion and USD 36 billion.
Since the introduction of networking functions in electronic devices is the first step in building an IoT environment, GSMA is working closely with Qualcomm. LatTIbeaudiere analysis, Qualcomm has a strong processor silicon intellectual property (IP), as well as 3G / 4G, wireless local area network (Wi-Fi) and global satellite positioning system (GPS) technology lineup, will be indispensable in the future Internet of Things industry GSMA and Qualcomm are also committed to using next-generation long-range evolution (LTE), 802.11ac and other wireless communication technologies to help the industry establish a diverse, high-speed Internet of Things environment.
Taking mobile education as an example, due to the standardization and security of wireless network infrastructure, as well as the production and sharing mechanism of teaching content, it is an important condition for the realization of mobile education; therefore, Qualcomm and partners are studying the general purpose of teaching wireless networks Specifications, and at the same time promote the teaching community with multiple universities in North America to gradually enrich the content of the mobile education platform.
For mobile healthcare, Qualcomm has also released the 2net software development kit (SDK) to help several system manufacturers in North America launch various medical devices such as mobile blood pressure monitors and blood glucose monitors, which can directly measure the status of patients and then support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (Bluetooth) and 3G wireless hotspot (Hotspot), safely transfer patient information to the database. In addition, the company also cooperates with Stanford University to develop biomedical electronics. By integrating radio frequency (RF) and microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology, the chip is directly placed into the human body for blood monitoring, and then the RF signal is sent to transmit information in real time. Advanced mobile medical solutions.
As for smart car / transport solutions, Qualcomm ’s M2M module technology is also in place, and it is even further developing towards integrating LTE, GPS and Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), strengthening networking and positioning performance, and accelerating the introduction of vehicles into networking functions.
