Chinese firms draft IOT rules for bigger say
Print Edition
Top Chinese information technology firms are actively drafting Internet of Things standards, especially for smart devices and autos, as the Chinese IOT market booms, Shanghai Daily learned during a telecommunications event yesterday.
IOT refers to connection and remote control among various devices so that they work more intelligently and efficiently. For example, it allows people to connect and control lighting system or cars in smart ways, which saves energy consumption and improves driving experience.
In 2020, China is expected to have 336 million IOT connections, a 29 percent annual growth since 2014. China boasted 74 million IOT connections last year, already the world’s biggest market and accounting for a third of the global total IOT base, according to GMSA, a global mobile communications industry association.
Chinese giants such as China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, Huawei Technologies and ZTE Corp are focusing on IOT. They have joined Open Mobile Alliance, a global industry body, to seek IOT opportunities.
“They (Chinese companies) are active contributors on device connection technology development and standards for China and global markets,” Eshwar Pittampalli, Open Mobile Alliance’s market development director, said at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai yesterday.
Anmdy Han, chief executive of Red Stone, said at the event: “It’s a relatively new sector with many possibilities. The players with market shares have a big influence. Therefore, China has opportunities on setting standards.” Red Stone provides IOT systems for handsets, smart devices and automakers.
