Zhanjiang, located at the southernmost tip of mainland China, is a city born facing the sea. In recent years, China Unicom has built a smart fishing boat management platform in Zhanjiang, realizing nine core functions through the three platforms of dedicated system monitoring platform, shore-based subsystem, and ship-borne subsystem, guarding more than 1,200 kilometers of mainland coastline, and empowering more than 10,000 fishing boats Realize integrated intelligent management, realize growth and increase income, and at the same time effectively guarantee the safety of fishermen.
The ocean is a strategic location for high-quality development. This year's No. 1 central document proposes to build modern marine ranches and develop deep-sea and far-sea farming such as deep-water cages and breeding workboats. In order to help the development of the marine economy, China Unicom has accelerated the construction of 5G networks on coastlines, near seas, and far seas to improve the coverage of marine networks, and rely on new technologies such as big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and Beidou positioning to create innovations such as smart fishing boat systems. application, empowering the digital innovation of the marine economy.
"Let the world know 'Zhan Yu'"
5G helps the transformation and upgrading of fishery
As the saying goes, "China's Seafood Capital" belongs to Zhanjiang, and Zhanjiang is rich in seafood resources. With the help of innovative technologies such as the deep-sea Internet of Things and satellite remote sensing, China Unicom has built a big data system platform for deep-sea cages in Zhanjiang, and built subsystems such as deep-sea big data, global logistics, and online VR display to display live videos of deep-sea cages and the breeding environment. The data collected by sensors such as salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH value can be remotely transmitted back in real time to realize intelligent farming in deep-sea cages. In addition, the system will continue to help Zhanjiang build an industrial park in an advantageous production area for deep-sea cage aquaculture. Through the construction of deep-sea aquaculture monitoring and management, public services for the entire industry chain, regional brand promotion, deep-sea aquaculture big data, and "smart fishery" demonstrations, etc., Promote marine environmental protection, marine fishery production, fishery product promotion, and "Zhanyu" brand building, empower major fishery leading enterprises in Zhanjiang to realize informatization operations, cultivate high-quality aquatic products, let the world know the "Zhanyu" brand, and taste Zhanjiang Produces world class seafood.
Going out to sea and breaking the waves safely
5G empowers fishing boats to travel safely and efficiently
Yangjiang has a coastline of 458.6 kilometers, and marine fishery is one of the important local industries. How to manage fishing boats well and protect the safety of fishermen going out to sea has become a difficult problem for the local government.
China Unicom and Huawei have created the country's first 5G marine private network + 5G digital fishing boat system solution in Yangjiang, which can maintain the access capability of 60Mbps downlink and 2Mbps uplink even in a sea area of 61.5 kilometers, providing great support for fishing and marine ranching. and other marine economies to provide solid network protection.
On this basis, the 5G digital fishing boat system adopts 5G, cloud computing, Internet of Things and Beidou positioning and other technologies to realize all-weather dynamic monitoring of fishing boats' offshore operations. At present, the system has provided services for more than 4,000 local fishing boats, assisting the local fishery administration to reduce the impact of disasters caused by typhoons or heavy rains, and at the same time, it has provided more guarantees for the safety supervision of fishing operations.
"After being equipped with a digital fishing boat system, I can now go to sea with more peace of mind." A fisherman in Yangxi County, Yangjiang City introduced that through China Unicom's "Smart Notification" application, he can send boat status information to his family members; in case of extreme weather or an emergency He can also immediately send rescue information through the client, call the police with one click, and request relevant management agencies to carry out rescue work in a timely manner.
At the 2023 World Mobile Communications Conference (MWC2023), China Unicom's "Digital Fishing Boat" project won the "5G Productivity Challenge Award" issued by the GSMA (Global System for Mobile Communications Association) in 2023, which is known as the "Oscar Award" of the communications industry , has become a benchmark for win-win cooperation between the government and enterprises. David Pringle, GSMA judge and senior analyst at Pringle Media, said: “5G is revolutionizing the lives of fishermen, allowing them to keep up to date with weather conditions, sell their fish and stay connected with their families while out fishing.”
China Unicom builds 5G smart fishing boat project in Yangjiang
Smart fishing boats are always "online"
5G weaves a dense maritime "prevention and control network"
Maoming City is located in the southwestern coastal area of Guangdong Province. The output of aquatic products in the city ranks first in the province. There are 1,140 fishing vessels within its jurisdiction. In recent years, with the occurrence of various safety hazards such as frequent fishing boat accidents, increasing difficulty in rescue, and difficulty in punishing illegal operations, the government has attached great importance to the development of modern fishery.
China Unicom strengthened its network coverage along the coast in Maoming to provide stable voice, data, positioning and other digital services for the production and operation of fishing-related subsistence vessels. When the fishing boat is in danger, it can realize "one-key call for help" through the red help button configured on the ship's positioning terminal, and simultaneously report the call for help information and location information to the grid administrator. In addition, in order to further strengthen the safety supervision and service of fishing boats, China Unicom built a "smart fishing boat" information system in Dianbai District, Maoming, to realize real-time monitoring of ship information, timely early warning of typhoon and other information, and real-time monitoring of violations such as going to sea and cross-border fishing. At present, it has escorted 1,140 fishing-related subsistence vessels in the region, providing a strong guarantee for the sustainable development of the marine industry.
With 5G entering the sea, the new journey of smart ocean has quietly started. China Unicom will continue to play its role as the main force in building a strong network country, a digital China, and a smart society, take the initiative to act, accelerate the construction of marine digital information infrastructure, actively explore 5G applications at sea, and make new and greater contributions to the development of the marine economy.
