According to the Global Industry Vision (GIV) 2025 report released by Huawei, the number of connected devices will reach 100 billion in 2025. A large number of high-value connections will arise in the industry applications. Data generated from the awareness and perception of everything will be fully utilized by each industry to promote industrial IoT, improve industry efficiency, and boost industry upgrade.

The key requirements for building IoT infrastructure are to expand connections, enhance cloud services, and advance AI capabilities. Huawei aims to realize reliable inter-connectivity of everything, provide support for fast service rollout and global reachability through cloud services, and advance AI capabilities for industry partners to monetize their IoT applications. Huawei can realize this with the communication technology it has developed over the past 30 years.

Expanding Connections: Enabling Reliable Inter-connectivity of Everything

Connections are the foundation of IoT. To lay a secure foundation, Huawei not only aims to enlarge the number of connections, but also pursues manageable and controllable connections that can achieve continuous coverage, smooth evolution, security and reliability throughout the entire network. Huawei NB-IoT is characterized by its low power consumption, wide coverage, and large capacity, and it supports smooth evolution to 5G. Huawei builds a mature and open ecosystem and provides end-to-end security solutions covering chip-sets/OS, data transmission, and the IoT platform. The number of devices that currently connect to the Huawei IoT platform has reached 200 million worldwide, among which 90 million IoT devices are connected to China Telecom
