The covid-19 outbreak caused an explosion in the demand for the Internet of things

With the effective control of the new crown lung fire epidemic in China, a large-scale return to work was also ushered in, and the prevention and control of covid-19 epidemic has entered a critical period. In order to win the "war of resistance" of the epidemic, the Internet of things (iot) has played an important role in the detection of body temperature in key areas such as airports, railway stations, subway stations and large communities, and strengthening the screening of people with abnormal body temperature and suspected patients.

Internet of things enterprises have used technology to fully armed, the release of anti-epidemic technology energy, started the battle with the outbreak of science and technology. 160 million, for example, based on the cellular connection number of Internet users, China telecom has the Internet of things technology applied to the outbreak of non-contact recognition, positioning source, automatic data collection and remote monitoring, through screening, monitoring, early warning, epidemic prevention and control, treatment, management, promote automation and intelligence of "person" instead of "civil air defense. At the same time, China telecom has made full use of the advantages of the integration of wuyun network, and launched the anti-epidemic products of intelligent community, such as tianyi loudspeaker, intelligent door magnet, mask monitoring, temperature monitoring, etc. At present, tianyi loudspeaker has covered thousands of towns and villages in China, with a total of more than 500,000 broadcasts.

"The Internet of things business is not just a traditional low data rate big connection business such as meter reading, but the Internet of things business in a broad sense, including all the scenarios of communication between machines. This outbreak is bound to be a boon to the broader Internet of things business." 'in the context of epidemic prevention, some jobs that used to be done by humans have been replaced by machines,' said Yang guang, a senior SA analyst. On the other hand, epidemic prevention will also lead to new applications, such as remote consultation and telemedicine, which may develop much faster than previously thought.

It is not hard to see from this outbreak that the demand for "intelligence" in China's economy has shown an explosive growth. New business models such as smart logistics, smart retail, infrared temperature measurement and smart medical care have emerged overnight, which also means huge demand for "new infrastructure" such as 5G and the Internet of things. In addition, with the layout and construction of "new infrastructure" in China, typical applications of mobile Internet of things such as mobile wearable devices, Internet of vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles have developed rapidly, and the corresponding consumer market has begun to take shape.

From the perspective of the industrial chain, China has formed a relatively complete industrial chain of the Internet of things, including chips, components, equipment, software, system integration, operation and application services, and made significant progress in the development of all key links. From the perspective of industrial scale, the national Internet of things has maintained a high growth rate in recent years. And the integration of the Internet of things with other ICT technologies, manufacturing, new energy, new materials and other technologies has been accelerated, which has rapidly penetrated into many fields and endowed new connotations to the concepts of service and innovation. It can be said that the Internet of things has entered a new stage of cross-border integration, integration innovation and scale development from concept hype, fragmentation application and closed-loop development.
