Oppo, leading global smart device brand, e IHS Markit, a world leader in market analysis, today jointly published their first white paper on intelligent connectivity to OPPO INNO DAY 2019. The white paper is titled "Intelligent Connectivity: Increase opportunities with the power of 5G, AI and the cloud". The white paper is intended to help inform the public about the meaning and value of smart connectivity and enable the industry to establish a more open and collaborative understanding of the ecosystem, better informing and guiding the sustainable development of smart connectivity in the future.
The world is getting excited about the new opportunities that the era of 5G will offer, which, according to the white paper, will be driven by intelligent connectivity based on AI, cloud, edge computing and IoT. The new smart connectivity ecosystem is expected to expand the market and foster more opportunities within the industry.
With the spread of 5G constantly expanding, the era of 5G has arrived
After a year of implementation, the 5G it is entering our lives at an accelerated pace.
The white paper notes that the year 2019 saw the first wave of standard-based 5G commercial launches. In October 2019, 50 telecom operators launched commercial 5G compliant services 3GPP in 27 markets. Furthermore, 328 telephone operators in 109 markets they are investing in 5G.
All 'OPPO INNO DAY 2019 shed light on the current implementation of 5G around the world, with large-scale deployments of over 10.000 5G NR / gNB in countries such as China and South Korea. Australia, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and the United States there have been small-scale tactical activations of one hundred 5G NR / gNB.
5G to drive accelerated integration of cloud, AI and edge computing
Il 5G it stands out from previous generations of cellular technologies in that it was originally designed to meet many technical requirements, device form factors, applications, and audiences.
The white paper predicts that intelligent connectivity will build on the collaborative efforts of AI, cloud and edge, connectivity (including 5G) is and production to offer value to businesses and consumers. This value can refer to a number of aspects including lower operating costs, access to new sources of revenue, or improved customer experience.
Artificial intelligence is in its early stages: currently we are only in the so-called "narrow" or "weak" artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, 5G applications, the cComputing edge and cloud computing will enable AI to be deployed across multiple solutions, as real-life applications and use cases will evolve into a cloud-edge hybrid model that will enable powerful AI.
The white paper presented atOPPO INNO DAY 2019 also notes that, due to the intelligent connectivity between 5G, AI, cloud computing and edge computing, companies and organizations should build more sophisticated business models, as well as promote openness, sharing and collaboration with partners to develop new capabilities for their solutions.
The next smart connectivity ecosystem will unleash great potential
The development of the ecosystem of devices 5G it has increased rapidly in many fields. According to the white paper, as of mid-November 2019, 72 suppliers had announced a total of 183 5G devices, such as smartphone, internal and external CPE modem routers (customer local equipment), robots, drones, etc. Of the 183 5G devices, over 40 are commercially available. According to IHS Markit forecasts, about a quarter of the 1,7 billion mobile phones shipped globally will integrate the 5G by 2023 and every two out of three smartphones will have pre-compiled hardware and AI capabilities by 2025.
In addition, digital assistants in the form of smart speakers will continue to be in demand. The global installed base of smart speakers will grow from beyond 100 million this year to over 800 million in three years.
All ' OPPO INNO DAY 2019 we have seen how artificial intelligence capabilities will be increasingly integrated into consumer entertainment devices. For example, AI-enabled cameras, paired with smart TV or streaming box, they will use facial recognition to launch personal viewing preferences and recommendations. Artificial intelligence will also be able to identify key moments in a recorded sports program.
Having the cloud gaming lowered the barriers for consumers by removing hardware costs, the cloud gaming and virtual reality will open up new opportunities, allowing users to access games whenever and wherever they want with smaller devices. Latency is also reduced to allow for full game development VR / AR, creating a global market that was worth over $ 2018 billion in 100 according to the white paper.
In the age of intelligent connectivity, there will also be many use cases and opportunities for and production in video surveillance, in autonomous driving and in 'industrial automation.
The white paper believes the rise of new devices hasn't diminished the key role smartphones play in consumers' lives. Not only do they play a central role in the consumer IoT space, but they also act as a gateway to wearables such as SmartWatch e health monitors, controllers / receivers and displays for data and video from other devices.
OPPO INNO DAY 2019 confirmed how these ever-evolving technologies will work together to create engaging new experiences for consumers, address challenges and create opportunities for business and industry, delivering true intelligent connectivity that will open ample opportunities for leading global hardware companies and Internet like OPPO.
