In the past two years, a new term "Internet of Things" has appeared, so what is the Internet of Things? What is an IoT chip? The Internet of Things is considered to be the third wave of world information development after computers and the Internet. The Internet of Things is an important part of the new generation of information technology. It refers to the real-time collection of various information such as any objects or processes that need to be monitored, connected, and interacted through various information sensing devices, and combined with the Internet to form a huge network, its users. The terminal extends and extends to any item to exchange information and communicate between items.

IoT chips are actually chips in the end, but their functions are more subdivided, and they are different from traditional chips, especially in terms of commercialization. Because traditional chips are intelligently used in specific places that require computing processing, IoT chips are more flexible and are mainly based on daily life, such as doors and windows, home appliances, and even clothes, shoes and hats, etc., which have higher technical requirements and also Pay more attention to the pertinence of application scenarios. In essence, it is still an integrated circuit, but it is more directional and needs to be applied to a specific environment. For enterprises, it also puts forward higher requirements, because users of IoT chips need more of a set of solutions. , often more than just a single chip product.

The IoT field is extremely complex, so it is impossible to cover the growing IoT of applications and markets with a single chip. IoT chips include not only baseband chips, radio frequency chips, positioning chips, etc. integrated in sensors/modules, but also system-on-chips embedded in terminals—embedded microprocessors (mcu/SoC system-on-chip, etc.), and these The demand for IoT chips in the field is huge.

As technology continues to advance, we can see more emerging drivers of IoT development. The big event in the next few years will be the rollout of 5G wireless networks, allowing users to deploy more IoT devices in more locations. As connections become faster and more reliable while requiring less energy, it will bring a whole new feel to people‘s lives.

ShenZhen Hao Qi Core Technology Xiaobian I learned that the number of IoT devices will exceed the population in the future, and the shipments of IoT chips will exceed 1 trillion, which will be a huge market. Therefore, the development of IoT chips has become a key opportunity for the breakthrough of "Chinese chips", and it is the most promising area for overtaking in corners.
