Sichuan realizes full coverage of NB-IOT network

New Concept of China Instrument Network Instrumentation On July 5th, China Telecom Sichuan Corporation convened a NB-IOT commercial conference with the theme of “Zhilian All Things Huihui Future”, announcing that China Telecom Sichuan Company has fully completed NB network coverage and a new generation of products. Networking (NB-IoT) is officially commercial.

It is understood that as the first batch of seven NB-IOT pilot provinces, since last December, China Telecom Sichuan Corporation has re-cultivated its 800M LTE network, and has invested a total of hundreds of millions to build a special network for the IOT. On December 10th, the Chengdu 800M special network took the lead in implementation, and cities and counties also carried out network reconstruction one after another. Up to now, Sichuan province has completed a total of 22,000 NB-IOT network base stations with a coverage rate of 95.66%, and has NB-IOT service opening capabilities.

China Telecom Sichuan Corporation actively deployed the province's Internet of Things, focusing on successful multi-field NB-IOT field tests in meter reading, street lighting, manhole covers, parking, etc., and carried out all-round cooperation with local water and electricity industry customers and manufacturers to build an ecosystem. . In terms of smart meters, Tianfu Power's NB-IOT smart meter test was successful, which promoted the commercial process of NB smart meter reading. In terms of smart water meters, NB smart water meter reading tests have been successfully carried out in Xindu, and the water meter companies are jointly developing community business applications to jointly expand the NB smart water meter reading market. In terms of smart gas meters, China Telecom Sichuan and Chengdu Gas have cooperated with a number of companies to jointly promote the rapid application of NB technology in the gas industry.

Zheng Chengyu, general manager of China Telecom Sichuan, said that the development of new technologies for the Internet of Things will set off a new blue ocean market. NB-IOT technology will boost the growth of Internet of Things devices, and the market for IoT applications is promising. At present, China Telecom has created a good Internet+Ecosphere through the creation of an industrial eco-environment, the protection of key capabilities, and the development of key areas. China Telecom Sichuan Company will strengthen its extensive cooperation with the local Internet of Things industry and enterprises, give full play to its advantages in resources, improve Sichuan's IoT product technology capabilities, industrial scale and application capabilities, aggregate industrial ecology, and open a new journey in the Internet of Things industry.

The new generation of Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology is a major technology means for the realization of mass connectivity and interconnection of the world, accounting for more than 60% of the total demand for the Internet of Things. This technology is based on the IoT connection technology of cellular mobile networks and has advantages such as low cost, low power consumption, large connectivity, and wide coverage. It is widely used in fields such as smart meter reading, smart parking, smart home, smart city, and intelligent manufacturing.
