What Internet of Things enterprises (including institutions and enterprises) are there in Wuxi?
The concept of Internet of Things was put forward by 1999. The English name of The Internet of things is "The Internet of Things". As the name implies, in short, the Internet of Things is "the Internet connected with things". This has two meanings: first, the core and foundation of the Internet of Things is still the Internet, which is an extension and expansion network based on the Internet; Second, its client extends and extends to any item and exchange information and communication between items. Strictly speaking, the definition of the Internet of Things is: anything is connected with the Internet according to the agreed protocol through information sensing devices such as radio frequency identification (RFID), infrared sensor, global positioning system and laser scanner, and information exchange and communication are carried out, so as to realize intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring and management. The very important technology in the Internet of Things is RFID tag technology. Based on simple RFID system, combined with existing network technology, database technology, middleware technology, etc. It has become the development trend of RFID technology to build the Internet of Things composed of a large number of networked readers and numerous mobile tags. The Internet of Things is widely used, covering intelligent transportation, environmental protection, government work, public safety, safe home, intelligent fire protection, industrial monitoring, elderly care, personal health and many other fields. It is predicted that the Internet of Things is another wave of information industry after computers, Internet and mobile communication networks. Some experts predict that the Internet of Things will be widely popularized in 10 years, and this technology will develop into a trillion-dollar high-tech market. A report of the International Telecommunication Union in 2005 once described the picture of the "Internet of Things" era: when the driver makes an operation mistake, the car will automatically give an alarm; The briefcase will remind the owner what he forgot to bring; Clothes will "tell" the washing machine's requirements for color, water temperature and so on. The Internet of Things fully applies the new generation of IT technology to all walks of life. Specifically, it is to embed and equip sensors in various objects such as power grids, railways, bridges, tunnels, highways, buildings, water supply systems, dams, oil and gas pipelines, and then integrate the Internet with the existing Internet to realize the integration of human society and physical systems. In this integrated network, there is a super powerful central computer group. People, machines, equipment and infrastructure in the integrated network can be managed and controlled in real time. On this basis, human beings can manage production and life more carefully and dynamically, achieve a "smart" state, improve resource utilization and productivity, and improve the relationship between man and nature. The Internet of Things is established through ubiquitous network technology. It is another wave of information industry after computer, internet and mobile communication network, and it is a brand-new technical field. As early as 1999, the international conference on mobile computing and network held in the United States put forward that "sensor network is another development opportunity facing mankind in the next century"; In 2003, American "Technology Review" put forward that sensor network technology will be the first of the top ten technologies that will change people's lives in the future. In 2005, at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) held in Tunisia, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) issued the ITU Internet Report 2005: Internet of Things, which formally put forward the concept of "Internet of Things". Undoubtedly, if the "Internet of Things" era comes, people's daily life will undergo earth-shaking changes. However, regardless of privacy and radiation issues, it seems unrealistic to simply implant all items into the identification chip. People are moving towards the "Internet of Things" era, but this process may take a long time.
