Recent developments of new crown sad, devastated the entire capital market, but I noticed the last few trading sessions Things plate contrarian flying has always maintained good gains, critical logic behind this is that the Internet of Things for artificial alternative.
First, change people's concept of synergy: multi-use way of face to face communication between people before the advent of the epidemic, but with the maturity of 5g technology, Wuhan Vulcan, Raytheon hospital instantaneous erection of base stations of view, with advanced communications remote collaborative office concept means will be popular.
Second, companies try to accelerate things such as artificial alternatives: Since the advent of the epidemic is limited by many companies to adjust the passenger can not be quickly organized labor for production, so far as I know many companies have started using things afterlife new design and production processes. Although things set up cost is still relatively high, compared to no advantage manually, and this epidemic does give things a certain window of time, from the objective to the development of things brought an opportunity. Stay home has recently been completely relying on RT-Thread of Things development board to pass the time.
2018 domestic networking industry scale has exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan in China and also from external conditions the best window of opportunity of independent development, networking aspects of the whole chain technology stack in self-control thing, Chinese enterprises do quite well, Therefore pen to paper wrote an article summarizing the past year for these insights networking trend was up close to show the reader the development of things panorama.
origin
Things origin: computing and international meetings held in 1999, the US mobile network on MIT professor Ashton proposed Internet-based, RFID technology, EPC standard, based on computer Internet on the use of radio frequency identification technology, wireless data communication technology, the physical structure of the Internet to achieve a global real-time sharing of information items "Internet of things" (referred to as the Internet of things) program, which is the concept of things was first formally proposed.
According to the current definition of things is through information sensing apparatus, according to the agreement, and any object to connect to the network, information exchange and the object information via the communication media, in order to achieve intelligent identification, location, tracking, and other regulatory Features. Things in general are considered to be divided into three layers namely the perception layer, network transport layer and application layer, of course, after I mentioned the text will continue to enrich the scene with the application of this layered approach has been a breakthrough.
Future of the Internet: The Internet of Things is the second wave of Internet growth curve tide, the current mobile terminal shipments to show weakness, lack technique technology giant growth of the moment, things the industry is the next outlet would expect, on behalf of the IT future of the industry.
Evolution
Edge computing concept is introduced: First, as before things terminal only as a sensing layer provides data transfer services all the way against the cloud, not cover all of the scenes, the edge layer is also calculated between the slowly into the transport layer and the sensing layer .
Refers to a side near the edge calculation or the source of data, a network, computing, storage capacity of one core application open platform nearest the nearest end to provide services. Their applications at the edge initiated, resulting in faster service response network, to meet the basic needs of the industry in terms of real-time business intelligence applications, security and protection of privacy. Therefore, after the introduction of edge computing application layer many things can give a faster response but also more secure, we see current domestic manufacturers such as Tencent IECP , Ali Link Edge , Huawei IEF already offers a complete edge computing solution. Tencent iecp wisdom factory program, for example, the edge computing solution scenarios requiring fast response times are provided by the edge node, and make cloud edge, end-side coordination process, to ensure conditions of offline local service is not interrupted, while accelerating system the response efficiency.
物联网OS王者归来：而边缘计算的引入也反过来影响了感知层的终端，之前物联网的终端多数仅配备RFID的射频模块，但随着低功耗芯片价格的不断走低，物联场景的不断扩展，单纯的感知也再适应潮流了，物物联终端也开始了由功能性向智能化发展的旅程。在工信部发布的《物联网“十三”五发展规划》首次将“物联网操作系统”独立出来列为四大关键技术之一，也正是适应了这种终端智能化的潮流。可喜的是在这方面，我国的技术储备并没有落后，无论是刚刚获得上亿融资的RT-Thread，还后起之秀TencentOS Tiny水平都非常高，详见《国产物联网操作系统崛起》。
授权与非授信用通讯频谱之争：另外在感知层与通讯层之间还有一个值得观察的点，暨运营商主导的授权通讯频谱NB-Iot还是由IT巨头主推的LoRa能够在物联网数据传输方案中胜出，当然有关这方面笔者在《物联网大变局：LoRa 正式获批》已经做过介绍，这里不再赘述。
蓄势
物联网时代呼唤IPV6的使用：根据目前业内比较公认的预测来看物联网至少会带来比现在多30倍的终端数量，考虑现有的IPV4体系所能提借的42.9亿个IP地址已经基本消耗殆尽，因此要承接物联网终端的连网需求IPV6剑在弦上，势在必行。
物联网大潮催生时序数据库：物联网终端是环境指标的记录者，一般都会严格按照时间顺序向云端发送信息，这也就是我们所称的时序信息序列。不过传统通用型的关系型数据库在处理时序信息方面的效率方面的表现并不尽如人意，无论是业内龙头的Oracle还是最近的后起之秀腾讯TDSQL、华为GaussDB，往往都比专门的时序数据库慢50%以上。所以这也就催生了时序数据库的诞生，有关这方面的内容笔者在《巨头垂涎却不能染指，loT 数据库风口已至》已经做过详细介绍，可供读者们参考。
物联网竞争的关键在于生态圈的建立：回顾之前移动互联网的发展，苹果、谷歌应用商店推出以及开发者分成的机制的建立，打造了良好的生态氛围，为后来的产业大爆发打好良好的基础。那么本轮物联网浪潮也是同样，建立完整的生态链将是各路Iot英雄比拼的关键，不过和之前移动互联入口为王的逻辑不尽相同，物联网的要求是全栈全链无死角，否则这个生态建不起来。
笔者认为在物联生态圈的建立方面目前腾讯至少领先了半个身位，不单因为他们在终端、边缘计算、LoRa网络建设方面都有完整的解决方案，而且腾讯的物联云是可以非常便捷的与微信小程序进行打通，这种全栈式、端到端的优势是目前其它如小米、华为、中国移动等物联网巨头所不具备的。
另外一个值得关注的点是RT-Thread Studio，它目前看似只是个IDE，但也有了全技术栈整合的考虑了。
经笔者实际体验在RT-Thread Studio中添加腾讯云的连接支持只需要在Package Center选择对应的程序包即可，感觉此Package Center已经具备了物联网应用商店的雏形，这其实也体现了物联网生态建立会是大势所趋。
笔者相信在2020年肯定会有厂商率先建立起物联网生态圈，当然具体花落谁家让我们拭目以待。
爆发
工业领域应用不断加强：物联网终端及边缘计算节点目前已经与工业生产的各个环节深度整合，大幅提高制造效率、改善产品质量、降低产品成本和资源消耗，将传统工业提升到智能工业的新阶段。从当前技术发展和应用前景来看，物联网在工业领域的供应链管理、生产过程工艺优化、产品设备监控管理、环保监测及能源管理、工业安全生产管理都发挥了巨大作者，目前在这方面做的比较好的国内厂商是小米与华为。
农业领域应用捷报频传：在我国先后出台的《农业科技发展"十三五"规划》、《关于加快推进农业科技创新持续增强农产品供给保障能力的若干意见》等政策中，几乎都提到了通过传感及物联网技术来提升农业发展水平的意见。相比于工业领域的应用，物联网在农业领域还相对比较初级，目前还多以单纯的传感模式为主，通过实时采集温室内温度、湿度信号以及光照、土壤温度、CO2浓度、叶面湿度、露点温度等环境参数，自动开启或者关闭指定设备。可以根据用户需求，随时进行处理，为设施农业综合生态信息自动监测、对环境进行自动控制和智能化管理提供科学依据。比如在江苏宜兴市新建镇新建村，蟹农们用手机能随时随地了解养殖塘内的溶氧量、温度、水质等指标参数，并操控自动投喂机按预先设定的间隔时长、投喂量为塘区的水产动物投喂饲料，通过“开心农场”的方式来打理池塘。
AIot+Anything：从移动互联的发展脉落上看，一旦生态建立好，马上就会迎来爆炸式的溢出效应。而在这一点上万物互联（AIot）+一切所带来的颠覆现象恐怕只会比移动互联来得更加剧烈，我们知道之前几年所谓极致、互动、快速便捷等所谓互联网思维被炒的火热，而物联网+时代一旦到来，那么也有理由相信融合、智能、大数据等概念也会被媒体包装成所谓物联网思维向大众走来。
物联网+区块链颠覆传统金融：笔者在银行业工作多年，可以说目前金融业的主要痛点在于难以将资金流、信息流和物流三者结合，而随着物联技术的不断发展，可以实现将物流与信息链完美结合，再融入区块链方案，那么很可能会带来全新的产业金融的放款模式。
