Ren
Zhengfei, Huawei Founder
Chinese
technology giant, Huawei used CeBIT 2018 to unveil its latest IoT and
artificial intelligence products for enterprises, including a
platform targeting the connected car segment, reports Mobile World Live.
Qiu
Heng, president of global marketing in the Enterprise Business Group
(pictured),
said the vendor can provide the “industry’s most comprehensive
solution” for IoT, comprising the chipset, device, operating
system, fixed and wireless networks, and platforms.
Huawei
will offer a similar “end-to-end” approach for AI, with partners
providing applications, he added.
The
executive said IoT and AI are “closely related”. IoT enables
monitoring and control of the physical world, while AI can be used to
make the process “intelligent and automatic”. Without AI,
management tasks have to be undertaken manually, which is laborious
and inefficient.
Huawei
showcased its M/X series, “the industry’s first AI-enabled
software-defined camera”, which can be applied in a range of
scenarios and improve image processing capabilities by 25 times.
Among
the capabilities touted were environmental adaptive operations, with
preset parameter configuration for day, night and weather conditions,
which can be applied automatically to improve quality and efficiency.
M/X cameras can also be upgraded online rather than manually.
Also
announced was an update to the vendor’s OceanConnect IoV [internet
of vehicles] Platform. The company said this is a “key ICT
infrastructure that enables automotive companies’ digital
transformation”, offering four key benefits or “enablers”.
A
connectivity element provides what Huawei described as safe and
reliable connectivity for vehicles, supporting hundreds of millions
of connections and concurrent access from millions of vehicles. It
supports private, public and hybrid clouds, and delivers global
public cloud capabilities.
The
data enabler collects vehicle status and driving behaviour data, and
analyses the information to create profiles of drivers and vehicles
(which the company tagged “Digital Twins”) in the cloud. This can
be used to deliver intelligent content distribution and service
recommendations.
Ecosystem
enablement comes through separating data assets from services, so
automotive companies can “control their digital assets, converge
third-party content and applications”.
And
evolution enablement comes through interconnection with V2X, so the
platform can offer an “intelligent experience for drivers while
delivering new levels of safety and efficiency”.
With
regard to connectivity, Huawei upgraded its eLTE-IoT technology to
improve performance, covering a radius of 10kms with 10 per cent
stronger signals. Latency is reduced by 50 per cent. An eLTE-DSA
system uses Discrete Spectrum Aggregation to create larger bandwidths
using smaller frequency blocks.
The
vendor said it will present more AI products and “launch its
flagship digital platform” at its Huawei Connect 2018 event in
Shanghai during October.
