Hytera: Stimulates Diversification, Innovation and Advancement of Large-Scale Applications for 5G Industrial Internet

During MWC21, Dr. Guan Bao, General Manager of the Broadband System Business Division at Hytera, called for "Full Division of Labor, Opening-up, and Innovation" at the panel discussion titled: "4.0 IoT and PMR in the 5G Industry".

2021 will be the year of 5G's rapid deployment. "To better tap into the superfast wireless technology, more efforts are needed to build a fair and healthy (telecom) business environment and to beef up international cooperation on 5G security," said Liu Liehong, vice-minister of China's industry and information technology, spoke at the opening ceremony of the Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2021 (MWCS21).

Representatives from 5G industry leading companies such as China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom also mentioned keywords such as "co-construction and sharing," as well as "strengthened collaboration" in their speeches.

During MWC21, Dr. Guan Bao, General Manager of the Broadband System Business Division at Hytera,  called for "Full Division of Labor, Opening-up, and Innovation" at the panel discussion titled: "4.0 IoT and PMR in the 5G Industry".

According to Hytera, the widespread application of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has led to an increasing number of personalized consumer requirements and more extensive industrial manufacturing standards. Also, the rising labor costs has also seemingly led to the increasing cost of a traditional manufacturing industry.

In the face of these new challenges, the traditional manufacturing industry needs to build a new generation of industrial Internet by introducing 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, and other new technologies to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Dr. Guan Bao said that 5G-based industrial Internet was piloted in some companies in the past two years and achieved good results. This has prompted the nation to issue more policies to encourage the construction of the industrial Internet. However, pilot projects also revealed some problems:

• Network openness is restricted.
• The industrial division of labor is inadequate.
• Lack of innovation.
• Lack of application and profit model.
• High cost of network construction and O&M.

Compared with previous solutions, the current 5G solutions lack input-output advantages. To some extent, this restricts the large-scale promotion of the 5G industrial Internet. During the 5G optimisation, the industrial manufacturing field and even the entire vertical industry must find ways to meet the enterprises’ requirements and provide more cost-effective solutions.
To address these issues, Hytera provided a set of feasible solutions based on years of technological development in field marketing, R&D, production, engineering, and operations.

Facing the 5G industry market, Hytera adheres to the concepts of diversification and innovation. After more than two years of exploration, Hytera can provide operators, integrators, and equipment manufacturers with comprehensive and end-to-end technical service capabilities and innovative cooperation models.
