Building an IoT Industry Ecosystem

Rouzbeh Farhoumand said that the IoT industry is at the critical stage of development and an open and healthy ecosystem, using the powerful IoT platform, is beneficial for industry integration and market expansion. Huawei's OceanConnect IoT platform integrates IoT devices and applications from partners using serial Agent and abundant APIs. With an IoT partnership plan, Huawei's OceanConnect IoT platform carries out joint marketing activities with partners and implements the technology enablement plan for developers by providing the developer community, regional OpenLab, and Remote Lab. Currently, Huawei has built the Glocal IoT ecosystem with the IoT platform at its core, which includes more than 500 global and regional partners in key industries including Smart Home, Connected Car, Smart City, and the manufacturing industry.

Leveraging the Value of Telecom Networks

Current telecom networks are highly reliable, of high-quality, and provide excellent operability, which is critical in the IoT development. To meet the growing IoT service requirements, NB-IoT and 5G technologies are gradually being developed by the industry. Huawei, as the leader in NB-IoT technologies, will continuously promote the development of industry standards and assist operators in developing NB-IoT services including smart metering, smart building, and bicycle sharing. Huawei has also established a wireless application scenario lab named XLabs. Based on its 5G core solution, that is Service Oriented Core, Huawei and leading operators including Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone made researches on new 5G technologies, such as network slicing and eMBB. The aim is to jointly create innovative services, such as industrial control, smart driving, and Smart Home.
