At present, in China, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen and many other large cities, "parking difficult" has always been troubled people and even the problem of urban managers. Now, with the NB-IoT (narrowband Internet of things) as the representative of the Internet of things technology and the application of innovation, "parking difficult" is expected to solve, a new era of intelligent parking is coming. For example, in Pu Chi Road of Shanghai Minhang District, reporter from "People's Posts and Telecommunications" on the field to visit a "magic" smart parking area, fast and humanized parking experience -- when other people still Badly battered looking for parking spaces, you only need to open the phone and the empty parking spaces can be navigated, so how can such leisurely be enviable? In fact, this is only a microcosm of the NB-IoT application, because the NB-IoT business is destined to set sail in 2017.

NB-IoT with the wisdom to solve the parking problem

"Parking difficult" in Shanghai is very prominent. In recent years, with the continuous growth of car ownership in Shanghai, in addition to cause road congestion, the "parking difficult" problem has become increasingly prominent. According to statistics, nearly 30% of vehicles in Shanghai are looking for parking spaces every day, an additional 10% of the fuel consumption in the search for parking spaces, resulting in the owner to spend nearly a hundred dollars per month on fuel consumption. It is noteworthy that, different from a wide variety of garage parking technology, the road parking has alawys been very low degree of intelligence, and the backing reason for the road parking lay in entrance control with a wide range of parking spaces, scattered and lack of fixing and many other challenges, leading to the vast majority of Internet of things technology scare off. However, NB-IoT as the main pushing mobile Internet technology and key access technology of Internet of Things for the 3GPP, by virtue of low power consumption, high capacity, high stability and deep coverage and other significant technical advantages, successfully opening a door to solve the problem.

Recently, Shanghai Unicom will successfully apply NB-IoT technology to public road parking system on Pu Chi Road of Shanghai Minhang District, said “no” to phenomenon of chaos with parking on the city road. It is noteworthy that, NB-IoT application cannot be separated from cross-industry cooperation, Shanghai Unicom joint with Huawei and CTFO together to create a smart parking solutions, relying on narrowband networking technology innovation, using embedded car detector of NB-IoT Communication module, realizing parking data collection status monitoring, parking spaces, online payment, charge management, law enforcement and other intelligent features through the "geomagnetism detector + NB-IoT network + Internet of things cloud platform + APP" modes.

Pu Chi Road lying in the road side of the parking spaces, "People's Posts and Telecommunications" newspaper reporter found that every parking spaces on the ground have been embedded in a "geomagnetism." According to the introduction from the staff, on the one hand, for the parking manager, when the vehicle parking in the parking spaces, "geomagnetic" will send the sensed data through the NB-IoT network for transmission; Parking management staff through the APP will be able to effectively monitor the parking spaces and user fees. On the other hand, for parking users,which not only can make an apponitment for the empty parking spaces in advance through the WeChat public number or APP, but also can pay parking fees through the phone, making the entire process of parking and payment very simple. It is reported that the intelligent parking program to achieve the pass from the car detector to the operator base station, from the IoT management platform to mobile applications end to end; at the same time the project team also spent nearly six months in network commissioning and tability testing for the NB-IoT geomagnetic vehicle detector, and ultimately provide users with a good experience. The whloe industry is generally concerned about the NB-IoT power consumption problems, which also has been verified in the smart parking area of this deployment. According to the current feedback data, a 19AH battery can run for 3 years.

Huawei actively promote NB-IoT commercial sailing

As the key technology of Internet of things, based on NB-IoT to achieve the rich application of Internet of things, in addition to the first landing for intelligent parking in Shanghai, , the other appliances such as smart water meters, air testing, sharing bicycles, white household appliances and so on. It will receive blossom in Commercial practice everywhere this year.

It is expected that the whoe world will have 30 to 50 NB-IoT network for commercial in 2017. At present, Vodafone, Deutsche Telecom, Korea LGU +, China Unicom, China Telecom and other global leading telecom operators have set NB-IoT network construction. And Huawei plays a very important role in the process of promoting the NB-IoT commercial sailing.

As a strong supporter of NB-IoT, Huawei provides NB-IoT RAN, EPC, device management chip, OceanConnect on Internet of Things management cloud platform and Open Lab assisted enterprise development services and applications. At the beginning of 2017, Huawei launched the world's first commercial NB-IoT chip Boudica120; Huawei's NB-IoT commercial version was officially released in the second quarter of 2017, supporting NB-IoT enhancements and eMTC solutions; on the 20dB enhanced key features, Huawei, the first passed the China Mobile Lab validation; Huawei solutions also provide 100K massive connections, 10 years of battery life and other characteristics applicable to the Internet of things for the business.

In the promotion of NB-IoT industry mature, Huawei spared no effort. Huawei has been working with more than 400 manufacturers in more than 30 industries to hatch NB-IoT business and applications, the incubation results will be shared with the global operators. In the business model, Huawei jointed with Shanghai Unicom and CTFO in the smart parking project, successfully constructing a new business model.

In the field of NB-IoT continued to invest in technology innovation, industry promotion and application practice and many other areas of contribution, ultimately assisting Huawei to win the industry's recognition. During the World Mobile Congress in 2017, during the period of Shanghai , Huawei's NB-IoT solution won the "Best Internet of Things Mobile Innovation Award" issued by GSMA.* * *

From the beginning of the full sense of the furture for intelligent parking, as the first year of NB-IoT for commerical, a variety of things networking is destined to brilliantly shine in 2017.

Car owners will open the WeChat public number and be able to get empty parking spaces information, and each parking spaces embedded in the "geomagnetic" is the information provider. Yaoge/took the photo.

Shanghai Unicom jointed Huawei and CTFO together, three parties to build the NB-loT-based intelligent parking solution from the car detector to the operator base station, from the management platform to mobile applications end to end passing.
