Foreword: In the 5G era, IoT applications are gradually entering daily life. The Internet of Things, as a key infrastructure to realize the interconnection and intelligence of all things in the "new infrastructure", is a catalyst to stimulate the high-quality development of China’s economy. On July 29th, was ushered in the grand opening of the 14th IOTE 2020 Internet of Things Exhibition in Shenzhen. IOTE started in 2009 and has been successfully held for thirteen sessions so far. It is the world's first professional IoT exhibition. In 2020, the technology industry represented by the Internet of Things is facing a major test of the epidemic, but under the Chinese policy of "new infrastructure", Internet of Things companies are bound to usher in huge opportunities. Take advantage of the trend, ride the wind and waves, and make bold choices to highlight the strength of the enterprise and the confidence to predict. At the exhibition, many IoT companies demonstrated their "bright" achievements. Among them, GosuncnWelink exhibited the communication module products of 5G, LTE Cat.1 and NB-IoT with the theme of "Three Ships Together", which attracted the close attention of many visitors. As the special media of the exhibition, HC Internet of Things interviewed Yao Nan, the general manager of the GosuncnWelink module product line.

Compared with the market dynamics in 2019, there will be a series of innovative actions in the Internet of Things industry in 2020. For example, NB-IoT is included in the 5G standard system, LTE Cat.1 has high hopes, and manufacturers are highly competitive. With the first anniversary of 5G commercialization in 2020, various technologies in the Internet of Things are also becoming mature. Under the huge market opportunities, traditional companies and even giants have crossed into the Internet of Things application field, trying to get a share. The importance of the communication module as a carrier for the migration of IoT services is self-evident. Driven by market demand, as a star in the module industry, Gosuncn began to deploy the module industry as early as 2016 with its keen market sense and precise positioning. For IoT, Gosuncn has mature technology with a step-by-step approach, with 5G, LTE Cat.1 and NB-IoT three types of communication modules as the starting point, in accordance with the different needs of customers, markets, frequency bands, and other combinations, technology-oriented, have created a batch after another. A batch of quality products. "In terms of NB-IoT modules, GosuncnWelink has formed three product series of NB-IoT families, namely ME3616 series, GM100 series, and GM120 series. Currently, these module products are used in smart meters, charging piles, energy, all aspects of transportation and the construction of new national infrastructure are fully assisting the deployment of new infrastructure." Yao Nan gave a detailed explanation on the theme of "three ships together".

The demand for 2G/3G retire in 2020 has attracted the attention of many IoT manufacturers. Following this is the linear increase in NB-IoT shipments. As the new favorite of the IoT era, LTE Cat 1 will naturally not Inferior. Since the beginning of the 4G LTE era, operators have gradually begun to plan how to provide users with non-homogeneous services more effectively, in this regard, they provide services with different network capabilities by layering and grading users. Naturally, LTE Cat 1 has made many module manufacturers and terminal vendors mad.

It is not easy for module manufacturers and terminal manufacturers to stand out. For Gosuncn, which first released the LTE Cat.1 module in cooperation with Tianyi IoT Industry Alliance in the early years, it seems to be quite comfortable.  "At present, GosuncnWelink's ME3610 and ME3630 (Cat.1 version) have been widely used in the industry market, supporting global certifications and versions including Chinese version, Japanese version, European version, etc. The products are widely used in public network intercom, asset tracking, and other industries." Yao Nan said. This year, GosuncnWelink launched the new LTE Cat.1 modules GM190 and GM191 series, which is bound to give another shot to the Internet of Things field.

"In the past few years, the Internet of Things has developed with great momentum. With the support of policies, there have been both giant endorsements, technology integration, application landing, and the loud slogan Internet of Everything' continues to spread in the industry." Said in an exclusive interview with HC IoT.

Judging from the fact that the term "new infrastructure" has been repeatedly mentioned by the central government this year, and all regions of China have responded to the five-year new infrastructure construction and other related policies, its development is of great significance and directly influence of 5G in the industry.

As a key breakthrough point in the development of the digital economy, the new infrastructure has been given a special mission. In the new infrastructure + 5G, the Internet of Things industry will usher in an industrial take-off, transformation, and upgrading.

According to Yao Nan, in the field of Internet of Things, chips and modules shoulder major responsibilities. With the help of technological development, the new infrastructure is further promoting the development of IoT and IoT is also affecting the new infrastructure. It's more like complementing each other.

As the basic support for the development of information technology, the development of the chip industry has long been a global collaboration and has not attracted public attention. After the ZTE and Huawei incidents, chips have become the focus of attention of the whole people, and statements such as "the replacement of full localization of chips are just around the corner" have frequently appeared. "In some areas where low cost is more concerned, domestic solutions with price advantages can be quickly replaced. In some important areas related to the national economy and people's livelihood, domestic cores also have great uses.

"When talking about the substitution of Chinese chips, Yao Nan expressed his unique insights. At the exhibition, we found that GosuncnWelink’s booth displayed many products labeled with Chinese chip. In this regard, Yao Nan said: “Communication products have the characteristics of simplicity, stability, convenience, and low cost. Chinese chips have very large advantages and competitiveness in these aspects, and they can also provide us with a steady stream of forwarding power. In 2020, the shipment volume and shipment value of GosuncnWelink will exceed 50%, and products on Chinese platforms have also been recognized by customers. GosuncnWelink believes that Chinese chips are bound to become a major development trend in the communications field of the Internet of Things based on a division of labor modules in the future."

Finally, to borrow a sentence from Yao Nan in the interview, At the moment of the epidemic, companies with solid strength in all aspects will naturally stand out. The current communication module industry is still a competitive situation. With its development strategy of "one horizontal and two vertical", GosuncnWelink continues to forge ahead in the competition and plays an important role in industrial development.
