It's nighttime, and the moon is high in the sky.
- "The Old Tang Book" from the Daizong period.
Yesterday, "the moon covered up places and five places."
Most of northern China was able to witness the moon slowly "eating" the bright star Taurus. Did you miss the super full moon from yesterday?
Recently, the State Council issued guidelines on deepening the “Internet + advanced manufacturing†initiative to promote the development of the industrial Internet. The guidelines emphasize strengthening industrial support and encouraging the application of emerging technologies like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI) within the industrial Internet. These advancements are expected to drive innovation and reshape future industrial landscapes.
As the world undergoes a new wave of technological and industrial transformation, the integration of next-generation information technology with traditional manufacturing has made the industrial Internet a key enabler of the fourth industrial revolution. It serves as a cornerstone for advancing the “Internet + advanced manufacturing†strategy, shaping new business models, and driving intelligent development. Building a robust network, platform, and security system for the industrial Internet lays the foundation for a strong manufacturing and digital nation, supporting broader goals such as building a well-off society and modernizing the country.
To further advance this vision, the following measures are proposed:
- **Enhance R&D of key technologies**: Focus on research into new network interconnection technologies such as time-sensitive networks, deterministic networks, and low-power industrial wireless networks. Accelerate the application of 5G and software-defined networking in the industrial Internet. Promote research on critical technologies like IPv6, edge computing, AI, AR, VR, and blockchain.
- **Develop an industrial Internet standard system**: Establish a national coordination group and expert advisory panel to streamline the development of a unified, comprehensive, and open industrial Internet standard system. Formulate core standards, basic common standards, application standards, and safety standards. Conduct testing and verification projects to ensure practical implementation.
- **Improve product and solution supply capabilities**: Encourage R&D and industrialization in areas like information communication and data integration. Focus on breakthroughs in key hardware and software solutions, including high-performance networks, smart modules, and industrial software. Develop AI-driven data analysis tools tailored to different industries. Support the transformation of telecom operators, internet companies, and manufacturers to deliver innovative services such as e-commerce, supply chain management, and financial services.
In addition, the National Development and Reform Commission recently announced the “Notice on Organizing and Implementing the Next-Generation Information Infrastructure Construction Project in 2018.†The notice outlines priorities for 5G network construction, including demonstration projects in major cities and the first phase of the National Quantum Secure Communications Backbone Network.
**5G Network Expansion**:
Focus on cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and others in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regions. The goal is to achieve continuous coverage in urban and indoor environments, enabling real-world applications such as 4K HD streaming, AR, VR, and drone operations.
Key requirements include:
- 5G coverage in at least 5 cities using frequencies below 6GHz.
- Each city to have at least 5 50G base stations.
- A minimum of 500 5G terminals.
- 5G broadband services with latency under 100Mbps and milliseconds.
- At least four 4K-based 5G applications, including AR, VR, and drones.
**Financing Updates**:
- **Varjo Technologies**: A VR hardware company that raised $6.7 million in funding, backed by Tekes.
- **Niantic**: An AR games developer that secured a $200 million round led by Spark Capital, Netease, Founders Fund, Meritech, Javelin Venture Capital, and You & Mr. Jones.
