China Academy of Information and Communications Technology: 2015 Internet of Things White Paper

The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (formerly the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Telecommunication Research Institute) held a "Large-Scale ICT In-depth Observation Report Conference and White Paper Release Conference" in Beijing on the afternoon of December 25, 2015, at which the "Internet of Things White Paper (2015)" was released.

Abstract

As a typical representative of the new generation of information and communication technology, the Internet of Things has become the core driver of a new round of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and the key foundation and important engine for the green, intelligent and sustainable development of the economy and society. The Internet of Things is accelerating its integration with other ICT technologies as well as manufacturing, new energy, new materials and other technologies, and is rapidly penetrating into many fields, giving new connotations to concepts such as service and innovation. The global Internet of Things is entering a new stage of substantial advancement and large-scale development as a whole.

As a major policy research support unit in the field of Internet of Things, our institute has published two versions of Internet of Things white papers, which have had a certain impact in the industry. The 2011 version of the white paper clarified the connotation, key elements, technical system, industrial system and resource system of the Internet of Things through original and systematic sorting. The 2014 version of the white paper focuses on analyzing and summarizing the overall characteristics and highlights of the development of the Internet of Things in the past three years from four perspectives: strategy, application, technology, standards and industry, exploring the internal laws of the development of the Internet of Things, and conducting research and judgment on the key directions of future development.

The 2015 edition of the White Paper will be based on the latest global IoT layout and development trends, as well as a new round of surveys on my country's IoT industry. It will summarize the phased characteristics of IoT development, conduct in-depth discussions on new models, new opportunities and new trends in IoT development, and reflect on new and old problems encountered in the development of my country's IoT and put forward corresponding strategic recommendations.
