Li Guangqian: New technologies such as the Internet of Things will move from concept to commercial use

At the Fourth Session of the Eleventh National People's Congress on March 5, Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council stated in the government work report that the country will actively develop a new generation of information technology industry, build a high-performance broadband information network, and accelerate the realization of "triple play". Promote Internet of Things demonstration applications.

After experiencing a recovery in 2010, 2011 will be an extremely important year for information technology vendors. 2011 is the first year of China’s “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”. The government’s macro policies and the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” The implementation will continue to support the rapid growth of China's new generation of information technology market. Cloud computing, Internet of Things, mobile devices and applications, social networking services, and business intelligence that have been frequently mentioned in recent years will also gradually enter the stage of marketization and industrialization from the early concept popularization and experimentation.

On October 18 last year, the Development Multiplier released the "Decision on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of Strategic Emerging Industries." The "Decision" clearly lists seven strategic emerging industries, including the "new generation of information technology industry."

“As one of the seven strategic emerging industries, a new generation of information technology will achieve tremendous development during the 'Twelfth Five-Year' period.” Li Guangqian, Deputy Director of the Second Research Office of the Department of Technology and Economics of the Development Research Center of the State Council, was interviewed by the China Economic Times It is believed that in these seven strategic emerging industries, a new generation of information technology has a special status: On the one hand, as a new industry, it is an innovation and development of current computer and information network technologies, which will greatly promote the economic and social informationization. Development; on the other hand, it also provides the foundation and support for the other six emerging industries. The deeper and closer the integration with other emerging technologies is, the greater will be the promotion of other emerging industries. "Leaving a new generation of information technology, some industries can hardly become strategic emerging industries. It should be a multiplier that promotes the development of various industries."

Li Guangqian mentioned the Internet of Things in particular and considered it an important area for China to transform its industrial structure and improve its international competitiveness. As the core of a new generation of information technology, the domestic IoT system architecture has basically taken shape. Perceived chip technology has been widely used in various fields. The three major operators have successively launched products such as mobile wallets, one-card, bus videos, and smart grids. National key projects such as transportation have also entered a substantive stage.

According to reports, during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the top 10 Internet of Things (IoT) application areas are Smart Grid, Intelligent Transportation, Smart Logistics, Smart Home, Environmental and Safety Inspection, Industrial and Automation Control, Medical and Health, Precision Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, and Finance. Service industry, national defense military. As an industrial cluster including multiple industries and core technologies, the development of the Internet of Things is obviously crucial to the development of other industries.

Can't "pull seedlings and encourage growth"

Because a new generation of information technology covers a large number of technologies and has a wide range of applications, it has a large space for integration with traditional industries. The leading role in economic development and industrial restructuring far exceeds the scope of the industry. Once a breakthrough is achieved in a core technology, Will “lead the whole body,” Li Guangqian believes that the development of a new generation of information technology during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period cannot be “pulled”.

“I am worried about the current status of the development of the domestic Internet of things, because everyone is in a hurry. In general, the Internet of Things is divided into the induction layer, the transport layer and the application layer, but China has not made breakthroughs in these three areas. Progress, and with the application of some existing technologies, due to institutional constraints, it is difficult to establish an industrial chain that can better promote the integration and development of the Internet of Things. In reality, some so-called projects under the banner of the Internet of Things are purely “pirates”. "The name of the world is 'blind.'" Li Guangqian said that in terms of the application of the Internet of Things, there are also some trends away from the law of market development. Judging from the development trend, during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the application of the Internet of Things will still be difficult to fully develop, and more will be achieved in some fashion IT products, aviation, automotive and military applications.

Li Yizhong, deputy director of the Economic Committee of the National Committee of the CPPCC and former Minister of Industry and Information Technology, also said that triple play is not an option, and that “triple play is a key task during the 12th Five-Year Plan period. It’s not anxious. It will take a while to find a good entry point and breakthrough. It is necessary to enter the telecommunications and radio and television networks in two directions and at the same time do a good job of the pilot work in 12 cities."

At present, the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" in various regions will also focus on nurturing new generations of information technology. For example, Fujian Province will focus on new flat panel displays, next-generation networks, and high-end communications equipment and other key industries. In response, Li Guangqian said that in the process of developing a new generation of information technology, local governments must combine it with the development of other strategic emerging industries and select areas with promising market prospects.
