IoT Development Trends

IoT has become a key enabler of digital transformation across industry verticals. Given the increased investment in and maturity of the technology, applications of IoT in connected vehicles, public utilities, and industrial manufacturing are expected to enter a new realm of integration and promotion.

▪ Connected vehicles

The connected vehicle field is gradually evolving, from initial use only in high-end vehicles, to inclusion as a standard service in most modern vehicle models. Leading automobile manufacturers are engaged in exploring greater involvement in mobility services, while governments step into connected vehicle supervision. A notable example of this is China's regulations on new energy vehicles.

▪ Public utilities

The continued application of IoT will greatly improve public utility operations, with smart metering and environmental monitoring seeing rapid maturation.

▪ Industrial manufacturing

IoT has become a necessity for industrial manufacturing enterprises transforming from producers to service providers. As a result, IoT is the focus of many pilot projects, many of which target remote O&M, as well as improved O&M efficiency and onsite labor costs.

    Business Challenges

    • Concurrent Access Support

      Diversified protocols complicate access. For reams of collected data to be reported quickly to the cloud, the platform itself must possess high-concurrency processing capabilities.

    • Data Insight Extraction

      IoT involves reams of diverse data from various systems. This requires efficient data processing and analysis to improve operational efficiency and help create new services and business models.

    • Industry Enablement

      As IoT is being applied to traditional industries with inadequate IT capabilities, customers are forced to invest in infrastructure development, resulting in slow service rollouts and market opportunity losses.

    • Security and O&M Efficiency

      Security threats still exist for more complex IoT networks. Efficient O&M is hard to achieve due to the rudimentary monitoring, logging, and data security measures, as well as limited third-party compatibility.

    Typical Scenarios

    • Lots of IoT Connections

    • One-Stop Big Data Analytics

    • Diverse Application Enablement

    • Security and O&M Tools

    Lots of IoT Connections

    Introduction

    Two options are available to help customers support up to hundreds of millions of IoT connections.

    Benifits

    Option 1: Creating a Connection Processing Module on the IoT Platform

    Applies to one-stop pre-integration service scenarios. The customer can create a connection processing module to quickly integrate multiple devices, support the smooth expansion of hundreds of millions of connections, and implement an O&M-free platform.




    Option 2: Deploying and Migrating an Existing IoT Connection Processing Module on Basic Cloud Services
    Applies to scenarios in which a customer has already developed an IoT connection processing module. The customer can use a series of basic cloud services provided by HUAWEI CLOUD, such as ECS, CCE, ELB, DMS, and DDS, to deploy the existing module on the cloud.
