5g mobile phone business is not the only highlight, folding and multi lens are also eye-catching
Mwc19 is bustling for the smart phone industry, with revolutionary improvements in communication, panel and camera. In addition to displaying a new generation of commercially available 5g smart phones and applications with large bandwidth, the folding design that can put tablet computers into pockets, and the multi lens of smart phones plus AI computing processing, the mobile phone's photography ability is close to that of class monocular cameras. The improvement of specifications depends on the contribution of supply chains including processors, antennas, RF, panels, materials, rotating shafts, optics, heat dissipation, batteries, memory, etc.
2021 will be the first year for the commercial use of the Internet of vehicles, and the layout of vehicle communication and cloud platform will continue to accelerate
In MWC 2019, all connected businesses of the Internet of vehicles set 2021 as the first commercial year of the Internet of vehicles, and actively carry out R & D and construction with this schedule as the goal. In the network socket, semiconductors, equipment and vehicle manufacturers have cooperated in depth, and successively put forward universal mass production solutions such as integration of Wi Fi / Bluetooth / GPS, dual band support for DSRC / c-v2x and cross region, so as to further reduce the complexity of design and production of networked vehicles and telecommunications networks. In terms of back-end information management, large automobile manufacturers including Daimler and BMW tend to build an Internet of vehicles management platform with the help of a third party specializing in cloud and information management. Both communication industries (such as Huawei and Cisco) and cloud industries (such as Microsoft) regard this as a huge business opportunity and actively provide cloud platforms for car factory customers.
The AI boom continues to permeate daily life
According to the GSMA survey, the global AI service application revenue is expected to reach US $90 billion by 2025. It is observed that the upsurge of MWC in AI application is still unabated, moving towards the development of AI in life and entering people's daily life of food, medicine, housing and transportation. In the retail field, not only AI combines service robot and sensing technology, but also telecom operators show 5g online technology as a selling point and create new experience; The medical part mainly focuses on AI data interpretation and analysis, the use of more accurate image and voice dual sensing technology, and the application of AR / VR imaging in medical training and surgery; As far as home is concerned, the product is changing towards man-machine interactive interface, home terminal integration, and people-centered service application based on user habit data; In terms of transportation, operators continue to develop AI chips and multi-sensor to collect traffic data, focus on image recognition technology, and visual AI transportation solutions are becoming popular.
On the other hand, in 2018, the global shipment of smart speakers reached 88 million units. In 2019, it is expected that the market heat of voice assistant and smart speakers will continue to burn. In MWC 2019, both communication manufacturers and telecom companies showed their strength and ambition to enter the voice market. In terms of products, on the basis of the communication industry, the smart speaker deformation product combining 4G / 5G hotspot function and voice assistant function is launched to provide the advantages of home networking terminal integration and mobility. On the other hand, with the increasing popularity of voice assistants, the issue of asset security has attracted more and more attention. Telecom companies such as orange and Deutsche Telekom have launched their own voice assistant systems, emphasizing local processing of voice data and developing voice assistant business opportunities.
Finally, the topic of edge computing continues. Many operators explore the application potential of visual recognition, bring computing power into marginal networks or local devices, and demand real-time data analysis. For example, in terms of visual sensing, through auditory assistance and 3D depth sensing, it can support multi environment image recognition and improve recognition accuracy. On the other hand, as 5g is close to commercial use, it can transmit more high-precision images to assist analysis, which will be used in medical treatment, unmanned store, intelligent detection and prevention and other applications in the future.
Industrial 4.0 applications focus on plant safety and AR / MR
Industry 4.0 is one of the exhibition themes of MWC this year, which accurately reveals that under the 5g commercial process, it has accelerated the implementation of various application scenarios of industry 4.0. Through 5g assistance, we can master the human and material trends in the manufacturing field, and can give real-time warning and accelerate rescue in case of emergency. Intel, abb, HP and KT all have corresponding solutions. The application of AR or virtual real integration in intelligent factory is more mature with the help of 5g. For example, large factories such as KT, SKT, LG, Microsoft and Ericsson assist intelligent factory in simulation and remote control by combining data with virtual images, assist front-line field personnel to break through environmental restrictions, achieve the purposes of inspection, assembly and monitoring, and greatly improve the operation efficiency and accuracy of field personnel.
A new type of "cloud VR" may emerge, and the "human eye like AR / VR" technology will be greatly improved
According to the mic estimation of the capital policy committee, in 2018, the global shipments of VR HMD and AR glasses reached 10 million and 1.4 million respectively. The two products have been highly valued by the market in the past few years, but the shipment performance has not soared. The main reasons include the technical maturity, the pending breakthrough of product handling, the high cost of equipment and the lack of attractive content and applications. At the mwc19 exhibition, there were highlights in Ar / VR products, which can be summarized into the following two points: first, 5g and cloud import. 5g's high-speed and low delay features fully support 4K video viewing and multiplayer games and reduce dizziness. Cloud is that data computing is handled by the cloud rather than near-end devices, and the hardware cost and endurance are improved, including HTC, Microsoft Both KT and SKT telecom companies in Korea display relevant products and new services.
Second, in terms of product technology improvement, including AR / VR operators such as HTC and Microsoft, in addition to improving the wearing design, improving the viewing field of vision and image display density, and strengthening technologies such as gesture control and eye tracking, after users wear the equipment, in addition to more comfortable wearing, the viewing field of vision becomes wider, the operation is more intuitive and the practicability is greatly improved. On the whole, the AR / VR devices in MWC exhibition continued to improve in technology and product design. Large manufacturers actively expanded towards the vertical market and developed application matching more in line with market demand, so as to drive the overall shipment performance.
From "perception" to "seeing", smart city expands new application orientation
Sensors have always been an important role in detecting urban dynamics. However, with the progress of high-speed network, AI image recognition and edge computing technology, image has become an increasingly important nutrient in the development of intelligent city. This MWC exhibition, including Intel, Huawei, D-Link and telensa, has actively launched image-based Intelligent City solutions. On the other hand, the application of smart city is based on the analysis of a large amount of data, and the development of AI and data platform will lead all kinds of applications to gradually mature. This exhibition, including Huawei, Microsoft and other major manufacturers, will play an important role. Digital twin, which combines data, image, platform and visualization technology, can help managers and decision makers grasp information at a glance and quickly through the digital model of organic entities, so as to improve the quality of enterprise maintenance and decision-making. Therefore, in addition to being continuously adopted in the field of intelligent manufacturing, this scheme is also gradually emerging in the field of intelligent city.
The smart home ecosystem is gradually opening up, and the needs of daily life have become the direction of product expansion
Mic said that after years of efforts and fermentation, the concept of smart home has gradually penetrated into people's lives. In the exhibition, telecom operators actively open and share with the ecosystem through the platform, and provide various home intelligent networking terminals to vigorously enter the smart home market. In terms of household terminal products, in addition to strengthening the interactive companionship and safety protection ability of service robots with AI, the needs around daily life have also become the market diffusion targets. For example, for the needs of specific fields such as hearing impaired people and pet owners, we can see that large factories (such as Vodafone) or new enterprises (such as visualfy, dinbeat, etc.) are actively involved; In the future, the field of smart home may form a trend that telecom operators or large manufacturers build open platforms and start-ups develop products, so as to derive emerging services and products and jointly promote the development of the market.
With the blessing of blockchain and artificial intelligence, build telecom level digital security to meet the generation orientation of 5g Internet of things
As the network development of 5g and the Internet of things will bring a lot of data transmission and computing needs, digital security has also expanded from the general information industry to a subject of great concern to the telecommunications industry. By combining blockchain and artificial intelligence, digital security protection can be driven to be more efficient. In this exhibition, we can see the active cooperation between telecom operators and asset security operators, proposing telecom level asset security protection services to enhance value for customers, including: (1) blockchain applications of Asia Pacific Telecom and Yuanchuan Telecom, using distributed algorithms for cross-border payment and identity authentication（ 2) In response to the comprehensive networking development of IOT, trend technology has developed a telecom end solution for asset security protection launched by the telecom end（ 3) Youxun technology uses ground computing equipment to detect AI edge computing products that may be harmful in real time through machine learning. However, China's assets and security industry has always had advantages in this field, which is also an opportunity to expand the international stage in the future.
Panel and semiconductor material manufacturing process breakthrough, a large number of product types are deformed
In the MWC exhibition, breakthroughs in the manufacturing process of key components, including panels and semiconductor materials, gave information and communication products a new look. Firstly, in the panel part, with the continuous improvement of OLED panel yield and production capacity, the flexible panel has entered the mass production stage. In addition to shining brightly in the folding form on the mobile phone, it can also import smart watches and various consumer products to release the user interface / experience design space. In terms of materials, graphene is mainly used in information and communication products because of its advantages of fast charging and heat dissipation. This year's exhibition can be observed that this material has been used in micro sensing chips, attached to mobile phones and even human skin, helping to wear various sensing functions, and creating huge potential business opportunities for intelligent medical and health applications.
