The Internet of Things connects everything with wireless technology. Connection Internet is not intelligent, but smart products must have the ability to wireless network. This is the current product intelligence, almost all industry consensus.
Wireless chip manufacturers are now facing a certain challenge. On the one hand, it is the standard of wireless technology, and the coexistence and competition between various technologies, and the compatibility of different versions of the same technology. On the other hand, it is a traditional SOC chip manufacturer. He has developed its own Wireless chip in step by step. Independent wireless chip suppliers make challenges. The result is divided into two, one is the largest Bluetooth chip merchant CSR, is acquired by Qualcomm. The other is like Bo Tong, giving up his mobile phone SOC chip, but always adheres to the business of wireless chips.
Kong Baishuo, China Wireless Connection Business Marketing Director Kong Haiquan, has repeatedly emphasized the full capacity and leading advantages of Bo Tong in wireless technology.
As a matching chip of the SOC, more and more mobile phone or flat chip vendors have launched their own wireless connection chips, which will have a lot of help for the reduction of mobile phone tablet manufacturers, reduce the production area and shorten the product. But in fact, as a stand-alone wireless chip supplier, Bo Tong has always maintained a lead on wireless connection chips.
"Everyone knows the world's largest mobile phone supplier, from the first generation of mobile phones, have been using Bo Tong's wireless chip, which means that the existence of independent wireless chips, it will not be defeated by mobile phone tablet SOC chippers." Kong Haiquan believes. Indeed, even Apple has been developing using its own SOC, for wireless chips, Apple has never gives up the chip of Bo Tong.
How important is a good wireless chip in the smart device? We may wish to analyze it.
Wireless connection has spanning basic requirements in multiple markets in many markets, there are very many technical standards and norms. For example, the drone requires a high-definition video at the same time to maintain the stability of the control signal at the same time.
Sun Haiquan explained that "This is not a problem that can be solved only by adding a radio frequency, and considers power consumption, Wi-Fi, control and data connection reliability, so there is a lot of requirements from the transmitting end to the receiving end."
With smart home, intelligent wearable market interests, some products and standards like HOMEKIT, Google Wear, Health Fit, are quickly pushed forward. As a leader in the global wired and wireless communication semiconductor company, Bo Tong will be more than 1,000 people worldwide, more than 70% of R & D staff.
There is a leading wireless technology, or you can't give up safety.
Kong Haiquan introduced that Bo Tong has a special technical group and special market and product R & D personnel to track these technical standards. Inside the product of Boyong, Boyong's product that Homokit has made is a wireless interconnected solution (wiced). It is a wirelessly connected embedded solution, or for embedded wireless connection schemes, is also synonymous with an integrity program. These products from medical, home kitchen, including humidity, humidifier, small to a smart glass, air conditioning, lights, like this product now have customers or manufacturers in Boyong's WICED solution . With more and more products development and launch market, the most important of wireless interconnection is interoperability or connectivity.
The security of wireless connections is the most critical technology of Internet of Things products. Interoperability or connectivity or compatibility is to ensure the most critical elements that a product can quickly promote quickly. For this issue, we need to do safety and certification. So when solving the usefulness, security has become a very important issue. Bo Tong is not only in the level of the chip, but also has a lot of security strategies in the base station, numbers, and radio frequency. In the overall wireless solution, Boyong cooperates with cooperative manufacturers, cloud manufacturers, technical standards, and safety products Design is implemented in all links. Take the current lamp solution as an example, the latest Bluetooth latest technical organization, its 4.2 standard has a special requirement for security, based on Internet security requirements. He said that safety not only requires the chip to support 4.2, but also on the chip, add a lot of security certifications at the business level, which is pushed with partner manufacturers.
Consumers' experience requirements for new products require "seamless connection"
Seamless connection, there is a most typical scene. Internet TV, smart TV, Xiaomi box, innovative box, etc. The remote control of these products has been infrared to become Bluetooth, but the increased function does not change the user's expectations and habits of this. People are accustomed to pressing it immediately, but the Bluetooth can't achieve the immediate react after the Bluetooth is turned off. It does not turn off the Bluetooth and increase power consumption. So the first technical requirement, that is, how to achieve the connection with Bluetooth TV in the case of television shutdown, while people are sleeping, the rocker, allowing it to make it quickly. This is the simplest seamless connection. Boyong has made a lot of work for the problem of maintaining a quick connection in a low power consumption, and there is a new technology called wireless wake up.
Wireless chip manufacturers also emphasize ecology
In the past, we have been listening to ARM, Intel and other chip vendors to promote ecosystems. Now Bo Tong also emphasizes the business cooperation of upstream and downstream, with the Internet and the whole machine manufacturer to promote the development of cooperative ecology. The reason, mainly in the new market sector, only many cooperation can only make a new product more perfect and complete.
Kong Haiquan said that Boyong and cooperative manufacturers do product programs, mainly three points:
First, integrity. Boyong is not only to push the solution for chip, but with other chip manufacturers, such as MCU manufacturers, sensors manufacturers, and even software manufacturers to build the entire system, to achieve power consumption, cost, and various technical key points. In addition, for integrity, there is no hardware, and the hardware can only be managed, so Bo Tong is very good at the software. Not only do their functions on the components developed, and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth technology standards are also improved. Finally, all mobile Internet products, not only the end, but also with the combination of cloud connection and intelligence. Boyong is currently cooperating with Internet companies (Tencent, Baidu, 360, Jingdong, etc.) to preset their interface to the business cloud to the development assembly. This ensures that the downstream manufacturing manufacturer is now developing their products, there is no need to do related work.
Second, pre-integrated. This includes in the integrated action, for example, based on QQ-based and Tencent's standardization concepts, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, including BoC's Bluetooth SOC solution, low power Wi-Fi scheme for SOC, Family Solution Wait.
Third, predicting. Many companies currently doing family interconnections, more exclusive companies, very enthusiastic, but is not familiar with technical standards, and even the company's scale is not enough to make members of these standards organizations. Therefore, predicting some standardized tests of these standards, some standardized certifications, and completed in the preparation stage of the product.
Overall, BoTong's integrity family, or an OPT, is a Wiced (mobile interconnected embedded solution). These include: 1. Wiced Wi-Fi, which is a solution for WiFi requirements for power and broadband; two, wiced smart is the low power consumption of Bluetooth. Third, Wi-Fi solution is Wicade Smartbridge if Bluetooth and WiFi are integrated.
Boyong's latest wireless SOC product plan
Kong Haier meets in the media meeting, revealing the product of the product that Boyong is using and next, including the SOC solution for WICed SmartBridge products in the IPA, from 20732, 736, 737 to the existing Wi-Fi SOC program (43909, 43907), it is a very powerful low-power solution that encompasses the family profile and supports DB4G. This mobile interconnection is the IPv6 Skype requirements.
Finally, Kong Haiquan believes that 5G future may be an opportunity to interconnect the family, but is not the only chance. So Bo Tong still maintains a lot of investment in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other wireless solutions. At the same time, Bo Tong also focused on 5G research and development.
