Guangdong Mobile Teams with Shenzhen Gas to Create "Smart Gas" for Internet of Things

[New concept of China Instrument Network Instrumentation] Recently, it was learned from Guangdong Mobile that the company and Guangdong Shenzhen Gas Group will jointly conduct application cooperation based on narrow-band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) to jointly create “Smart Gas”.

According to reports, the implementation of the “smart gas” information project will bring more convenience to the general public. For example, the most intuitive, many local gas needs to be reported manually, using a smart gas meter that uses the Internet of Things technology, the collection of gas can be automatically completed, saving time and effort. Prior to this, Guangdong Mobile and Guangdong Shenzhen Gas had carried out remote meter reading Internet of Things application cooperation, covering more than 10,000 households.

The next cooperation of "Smart Gas" will be based on the narrow-band Internet of Things (NB-IoT). Facing the massive connection demand in the era of the Internet of Everything, the capacity of the original communication network has been unable to meet the requirements, and the number of users of the single Shenzhen Gas has exceeded 5 million. Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is an important branch of cellular IoT technology. It has the advantages of wide coverage, multiple connections, and low power consumption. It not only has a large enough capacity, but also has a battery life of up to ten years and can effectively meet smart devices. Networking needs. At present, Guangdong Mobile is accelerating the construction and application of cellular internet of things. Shenzhen, Guangdong alone has opened 115 NB-IoT test base stations in Futian District, Qianhai Shekou Free Trade Zone and Yantian Port Area.

It is understood that in addition to Guangdong Mobile and Shenzhen Gas, there are also China Mobile IoT companies of the same China Mobile Group and Chengdu Qianjia Technology Company. All parties will integrate superior resources to develop close cooperation in the industry standards, product development, and marketing of the gas industry, and jointly develop gas information platforms and end products such as smart gas meters, pipe network monitoring equipment, and application service platforms.
