All of HCM City’s 24
districts had Internet of Things (IoT) broadcasting stations installed in
September 2019, made the city the first place in Viet Nam to be fully covered
with an IoT network.
IoT
is a system of interrelated computing devices and machines with the ability to
transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or
human-to-computer interaction.
Connected
devices, smart devices and others are embedded with electronic components,
software, and sensors with computer network connection capability, making it
possible for them to collect and transmit data.
According
to domestic newspapers, a military telecom giant group in Vietnam is set to
announce the completion of IoT and 5G infrastructure helping HCM City become a
smart city.
Around
1,000 Narrow Band – Internet of Things (NB-IoT) broadcasting stations have been
activated, covering the whole city, the media reported.
NB-IoT
technology is capable of disconnecting a device when it is inactive. Thus, the
contact time of the terminal is extended to five years without the need for
changing the battery.
The
group is also accelerating the process of developing a platform using NB-IoT
technology-related services for its customers.
It
will perform services like smart parking, air quality monitoring, location
tracking, and metering devices.
IoT
boom
With
IoT technology developing strongly, other provinces and cities in the country
will also have full NB-IoT coverage soon.
The
group was quoted on Thoi Bao Kinh Te Viet Nam (Vietnam Economic Times) as
saying that after HCM City it would cover Ha Noi. Nearly 500 NB-IoT
broadcasting stations have been installed and activated in Cau Giay District
and some suburban districts.
A
deputy general director of the group, said the company planned to take IoTtechnology to every province and city in the country.
Talking
about IoT trends, telecom experts say with industry 4.0, the concept of
customers has been expanded from just people to things.
The
number of customers would thus run into the billions and the demand for
connecting is huge, they said.
There
are various estimates, with one saying that by 2020, globally, around 20
billion devices will be fitted with sensors and controllers via NB-IoT
technology, accounting for 74 per cent of all devices.
By
2025 about 40 billion smart devices will be used in the world with a total of
around 100 billion connections in sectors like transportation, manufacturing,
healthcare, agriculture, and finance.
In
a press release on Thursday, the military-owned telecom giant said it had set
up 5G base stations in Ward 12 in the city’s District 10.
The
trial is meant to be a comprehensive evaluation of the band, coverage and
application of 5G before commercialization in 2020.
The
official broadcast of 5G in HCM City is an important milestone in to make Viet
Nam one of the first countries in the world to commercialize 5G services. With
5G, Viet Nam will go along with the world.
