Driven by multiple factors such as technology, market and policy, smart city development in China has formed an industry and become an "arena" for major enterprises. We can see that both Internet enterprises and traditional IT manufacturers are doing relevant deployment. When every enterprise is trying to find the best position, sprint towards the ultimate goal, what differentiation advantages does Zhongke Shuguang have? How to stand out from competitors?

1. Have a deeper understanding of cutting-edge trends and the concept of smart city.

The Lunar New Year hasn't arrived yet, meaning 2018 isn't really over yet. Looking back at the past year, what are the new trends in smart cities? Zhang Chunquan, vice president of Dawning Cloud Computing Group, and Chen Shudong, researcher of Institute of Microelectronics and expert of Hundred Talents Plan of Chinese Academy of Sciences, have reached a consensus that three key words can dominate the whole year!

The first key word is "upgrade". In the era of smart city 1.0, it is mainly focused on infrastructure construction. Whether it is laying out network facilities or building data centers, it is only a process of urban intelligence and three-dimensional perception. In the 2.0 era, urban construction has risen to the level of intelligence, and the typical feature of this era is that the network mapping between virtual city and real city has been quite large.

The second keyword is ubiquitous. With the development of mobile Internet and Internet of Things, the ubiquitous characteristics of smart city are becoming more and more obvious. For example, real-time and ULTRA-high-definition transmission based on unstructured data such as videos and images also falls into the category of smart city.

The third key word is "intelligence". How to combine artificial intelligence and big data analysis on the basis of existing data? Urban intelligent management, there have been a lot of practical examples.

So what exactly is a smart city? How should we properly understand the concept of "smart city"?

Ms. Chen Shudong, a researcher of the Institute of Microelectronics of the Hundred Talents Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that smart city refers to the urban productivity has developed to the "smart stage", which makes social activities such as production and life appear intelligent characteristics.

First, the perception of the city has increased. With the advent of sensors in the Internet of Things and 5G, the capabilities of human individual biological organs are being extended. What we have seen in science fiction or movies before has become reality. "Clairvoyant" and "Wind-ear" are not just legends. In the future, human beings can listen to the silent, invisible, to the point of a thousand miles.

Secondly, the social form will undergo major changes, from digital, network to intelligent, unmanned. For example, the emergence of robots has fundamentally changed the production service, consumption ecology and labor structure of the whole society. Another example is the emergence of express delivery, which has changed people's way of life and travel.

Third, the degree of social civilization will be greatly improved. The emergence of intelligent perception, intelligent transportation, intelligent systems and unmanned technologies makes cities more orderly and promotes the development of the whole society. Disaster warning, the establishment of personal credit system, social civilization to a new height.

Therefore, the so-called smart city is to build a livable city centered on people and make people's life better.

2, clear positioning, dawn only enable platform.

In the process of accelerating the development of urban intelligence and digitalization, ZHONGke Shuguang has achieved fruitful results. Compared with last year, the total revenue of Shuguang Smart city business grew rapidly.

"In the future, we will encourage every city that hits the ground to do more solid work, rather than take the number of cities growing as an indicator." Zhang Chunquan said.

Dawning's revenue grew rapidly in 2018, with 60% coming from IaaS services and the remaining 40% from big data and SaaS. Among them, big data businesses mainly fall into two categories: one is the big data sharing and exchange platform of the whole city; The other is a big data project in the field of public security. The public security big data platform project is independently undertaken and delivered by dawning Software Development Department. The most representative customers include urumqi Public Security Bureau of Xinjiang, Beijing Traffic Management Bureau, etc.

Whether it is smart city or industrial Internet, technology is interlinked. In terms of the overall technical architecture, it includes connection platform, enabling platform and application platform. In connection layer and application level, Dawning chooses to cooperate with institute of Microelectronics, Institute of Software, Institute of Automation and other partners of Chinese Academy of Sciences. At the same time, based on years of industry experience, dawn is also doing part of the application layer of business. At the enabling platform level, Dawning includes two platforms: one is cloud platform; Another is the data platform.

3. Rich experience in 2G and 2B scenario construction.

Smart city construction, in addition to testing the technical support ability of service providers, also needs to understand specific application scenarios. Dawning has been serving the government and enterprise fields for many years. Dawning has made important contributions to urban governance, information benefit to the people and industrial and economic transformation and upgrading.

In 2018, Dawning followed up more than 40 industrial Internet projects, extending nearly 20 cities from cloud center government services to industrial economy and industrial interconnection. There are about 20 more group customers, directly follow up by dawn. Light industrial Internet platform, "digital twins" solution, authors can help enterprise efficiency, such as: enterprise of nc machine tools in a certain link problems, through the big screen as you can see all the work process of the parts and status, and even at the time of installation, conformed to the technological process, directly to find the key of the problem.

Based on ten years of accumulation, Dawning City Cloud Brain has achieved the upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0. Urban Cloud brain 2.0 closely combines artificial intelligence and big data to build a smart city core platform. Dawning has established more than 40 urban cloud centers throughout the country, which have been serving the government. In addition to meeting the needs of government affairs, dawning also has another mission, which is to serve the local industrial upgrading and the transformation of old and new driving forces.

Dawning has a very open ecological construction ability.

In terms of smart city construction, Dawning plays a role more like an "assistant mayor", and many people are willing to consult dawning. Dawning can be different, because dawning has experience in industrial economic planning and industrial park upgrading, more reliable, more powerful. Most importantly, Dawning has formed its own ecological construction capacity.

Shuguang has accepted the chairman unit of the Smart City Industry Alliance of CAS, which means that the operation of the Smart City Industry Alliance of CAS is located in Shuguang, and important units such as the Institute of microelectronics, the Institute of software, the Institute of automation and the Institute of computing are all members of the Smart City Industry Alliance. For example, in the field of industrial Internet, the threshold is higher, the industry attributes are stronger, and the span and differentiation between industries are larger. Dawning will cooperate with institutions and institutions to make full use of their technological accumulation to provide services.

Of course, in addition to the resources of institutions, Dawning will also cooperate with third-party partners. For example, dawning has established a more open ecological cooperative relationship in the field of smart education and smart medical care.

5. In terms of market deployment, Dawning creates a smart city with thousands of faces.

Most of the smart city projects undertaken by Dawning are based on the deployment of prefecture-level cities, because most smart city projects take cities as the carrier when they are launched. Even if the provincial government has a plan, it will eventually fall to prefecture-level cities. Just as the saying goes, "a thousand people have a thousand faces", so does the construction of smart cities, which should have urban characteristics. Although many technologies are interlinked, when providing services, we should really understand the specific needs of ordinary people and urban pain points, and recognize the differences of regional cultures.

Shuguang respects the characteristics of each city, and does one city and one policy, not one thousand cities. Dawn basically starts from the foundation platform, and then carries out step by step. Shuguang's smart city construction can be roughly divided into four steps: the first step is top-level planning, making comprehensive urban planning and design; The second step is to build a platform, mainly enabling the platform; The third step is urgent use first. According to the differentiated characteristics of the city, the problems that the city managers want to solve first are created. For example, some cities focus on fighting terrorism and maintaining stability. Some cities, the main focus may be tourism culture; The fourth step is to act accordingly, not to do everything. The planning of a smart city can be as few as several hundred million yuan or as many as several billion yuan. It is necessary to consider the payment capacity of the local government, concentrate superior resources and proceed in stages.

The specific landing form, in addition to a technical platform, but also the landing of the operating company, so as to ensure data security. Operating companies will involve local government holding platforms and regional partners. In this way, it can also cultivate information companies and talents belonging to local characteristics. The experts of Shuguang University and THE Chinese Academy of Sciences also have unique advantages in personnel training. For example, in the construction of wuxi urban cloud computing center, microelectronics plays a very important role in the Internet of Things center in Wuxi.

In short, the construction of smart cities should bear in mind once and for all and be more forward-looking. In addition to being able to change with new technologies, we also need to consider the development in 5-10 years. On the basis of the existing ecological environment, how to expand the ecological force and strengthen the safety and control of urban construction is the medium and long term goal of Shuguang.
