What kind of intelligent revolution will 5G bring?

How hot is 5G now? Whether the latest statistics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology show that nearly 960,000 5G base stations have been built nationwide, or the "5G application" action Plan (2021-2023) index requires that the number of 5G base stations in 2023 will reach more than 2.52 million, China's 5G network construction is second to none in the world.

Not only broadband, speed, 5G also has a great improvement in mobility, delay and other aspects. Just as the so-called "4G changes life, 5G changes society", if 5G and 4G are compared, 5G will be from the original 4G consumer applications, expand to industrial applications.

With the acceleration of 5G construction, China's AIoT industry is also embracing new development opportunities. However, different traditional industries have different demands for intelligent technology. In the process of enabling traditional industries with intelligent technology, how to deeply integrate technology and application? How can industrial application scale landing?

The communication requirements of the intelligent age have changed

AIoT focuses on new IoT applications based on the IoT standard, which focuses on data transmission technology, to make AI and IoT complementary. To be specific, IoT provides artificial intelligence AI with massive data nourishment for deep learning, and its scenario-based interconnection provides a foundation for the rapid landing of AI. AI transforms the massive amount of data generated by the connection into value through analysis and decision making, which in turn guides the efficiency of IoT applications.

It is not difficult to see that data processing plays a pivotal role in AIoT applications, which also puts forward a higher level of demand for computing power. For example, in the medical field, scientists have used molecular docking technology to dock ebola virus protein V35, and can complete the screening of anti-Ebola drugs of 40 million molecular compounds a day. This is due to the contribution of supercomputing power.

However, due to the rapid growth of data volume, the lack of computing power also restricts the development of some applications. For example, with the popularity of high-definition surveillance, the volume of data in security monitoring has exploded, creating a demand for intelligent technologies. However, restricted by factors such as computing power, the rapid processing and deep utilization of security surveillance video still need a lot of manual analysis, which also leads to the popularity of intelligent security cameras slower than expected.

But the power problem is being solved. For a large number of cameras, only relying on cloud computing is often overwhelming, while the integrated solution integrating cloud computing and edge computing can alleviate the problem of insufficient computing power to a certain extent, which puts forward higher requirements for cloud collaboration. At the same time, additional AI computing power is superimposed on the terminal side to keep image recognition locally, which can reduce the delay and reduce the demand for network connection and capacity.

It is precisely because of the product's increasingly high requirements for computing power, with the continuous evolution and implementation of AIoT applications, its requirements for communication modules are also changing.

Communication mode is an inescapable backbone

Communication module is a functional module that integrates baseband chip, memory, power amplifier device and so on on a circuit board and provides standard interface. All kinds of terminals can realize communication function with the help of wireless module, so the communication module bears the data interaction of end-to-end and back-end server, which is the channel of user data transmission and one of the core components of Internet of Things terminals.

In practical applications, the communication module need to redesign a variety of chips, devices and integration, to consider a variety of communication protocols, network type, volume, interference, power consumption, a special process, etc., such as industrial grade of high and low temperature resistance, resistance to vibration, electromagnetic interference resistance, at the same time have the characteristics of customization, need to meet the specific needs of different customers, different application scenarios. Not only that, the downstream users in the intelligent era are not satisfied with the module only assuming the functions of networking, but also need the communication module to have the composite functions of fusion perception, front-end data processing, and mid-level control, and even integrate android system, WIFI, Bluetooth, GNSS and other functions.

Industrial holding areas, for example, with the Internet based on the industrial data of industry growing demand for data acquisition, including industrial handheld PDA, bar code data collector, intelligent industrial handheld terminal to get the popularity of mass, its characteristic is strong, durable, adapt to a variety of industrial environment, but also exists for the stringent requirements for communication connection. In this background, 5 g low latency, without interference, the advantages of high reliability, the deployment of broader able to provide more intelligent industrial handset acquisition signal quality of wireless transmission, 5 g has level can connect millions of Internet of things terminal number ability also can replace the existing state of cable transmission mode of perception, to meet the end-to-end data transmission, All these are inseparable from the support and empowerment of THE 5G intelligent communication module.

As a well-known provider of wireless communication solutions and wireless communication modules for the Internet of Things, FIBOcom believes that communication modules are very important for the Internet of Things terminal. From the current development trend, the wireless communication module industry is increasingly prominent value due to its important position in the Internet of Things industry chain link. Many signs show that recently wireless communication module enterprises have increased the depth of the Internet of Things application scenarios. For example, in the iron and steel industry, every process should be treated as a vertical industry in the process of steel intelligence. From the bottom edge to the upper production planning and resource management, massive iot is needed, and wireless communication module has become the top priority of the whole intelligent solution. In the coal mine industry, whether the communication problem up and down the coal mine, or the intelligent and unmanned equipment such as underground monitoring, mining and safety, all need good communication ability support, wireless communication module is still the core.

Moreover, with the advent of the ERA of AIoT, the intelligence of communication modules has become the general trend. 5G intelligent modules will also become the backbone to promote the large-scale implementation of 5G+AIoT applications, and it will also make great breakthroughs in network, computing power, AI and other aspects.

5G smart module promotes AIoT application

The arrival of THE 5G era will bring a new round of intelligent transformation to the world. Without the shackles of the traditional network delay, network speed, 5G will completely liberate intelligent terminal equipment, so that the application of 5G hardware equipment is more closely connected, linkage is more intelligent, truly enter the ERA of AIoT. At the same time, the intellectualization of communication module is imperative.

In the field of smart factory, 5G enterprise private network can solve problems such as poor network stability, poor anti-interference and limited equipment access capacity under WIFI environment, and provide safe and reliable wireless communication connection, in which 5G intelligent module plays an indispensable key role. Specific view, 5 g technology has a high rate, large capacity and low latency, etc advantages, at the same time intelligent module can also be more efficient in the local processing, also can help to solve the factory production of hidden trouble, face recognition, license plate recognition, helmet wearing a detection, intrusion detection, an illegal business operations, intelligent analysis functions such as alarm, It can effectively reduce the inspection intensity of operators.

In addition, 5G smart modules have also made outstanding contributions to promoting industrial transformation in fields such as industrial hand-holding, vehicle rear installation and smart security. For example, in the field of smart security, 5G smart module can meet the needs of the security industry for HD and ULTRA-high definition monitoring, provide users with ultra-high DEFINITION, smooth and stable video effects, and realize storage, transmission, positioning, intercom and other functions. It can be widely used in the scenes of access control security check, visual inspection, mobile law enforcement monitoring, emergency command and dispatch, disaster rescue and maintenance, remote guidance and so on.

Obviously, the intelligent module will play a more important role in the industrial intelligent revolution in the future. Among the 34 TYPICAL 5G application cases highlighted by China Mobile, 5G+ smart mine has become one of the areas where 5G has been launched the fastest. With high performance high calculate force of 5 g intelligent module for a key to realize the coal winning machine remote start, the coal mine unmanned rubber_tyred car fusion, wireless communication system, network and so on each scenario provides a strong support, in the process of meet the mine production and control of high bandwidth and low latency requirements at the same time, also can realize mining equipment of unmanned operation and intelligent control, Greatly improve production efficiency.

From fiBOCOM's point of view, the communication module industry has both opportunities and challenges. To actively build the industry ecology and create industry value is the core element of Enabling qianqianbaibye. Therefore, the communication module field must seek continuous linkage and cooperation with the whole industry chain, jointly focus on the core concerns of the industry, and accelerate the construction of cross-border integration, mutual benefit and win-win digital ecological community.
