Intel holds the 14th Internet of Things Summit and joins hands with Chinese ecological partners to move towards a new era of integrated edge

The 14th Intel Internet of Things Summit 2021 with the theme of "Visibility, Wisdom and All Things"Held in Yinchuan today. At the meeting, Thomas Lantzsch, Intel's senior vice president and global general manager of the Internet of Things Division, jointly introduced Intel's global strategy, product progress and ecological construction in the field of converged edge and video with Dr. Chen Wei, Intel's vice president of the Internet of Things Division, global general manager of the Internet of Things Video Division, and general manager of the Internet of Things Division China, through a video connection, reaffirming the important position of the Chinese market in Intel's Internet of Things business. Multiple speakers from different fields of Intel's Internet of Things Division also used a combination of live speeches and video connections to focus on the unique environment of the Chinese market, focusing on Intel's outstanding achievements in industry, retail, financial services, hotels and restaurants, education and other fields.

The "four super technological forces" composed of ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous connectivity, cloud-to-edge infrastructure and artificial intelligence are becoming the core of shaping the digital transformation of industries.Currently, Intel is relying on its super technological power to promote innovation, exploration and growth, and is working with ecological partners including the Chinese market. It relies on its four super technological powers to provide leading technologies and accelerate digital transformation, creating technology that changes the world and benefits everyone on the planet.

As an important part of the super technical force "infrastructure from cloud to edge",Intel further integrates network, computing, and storage, and launches a series of combinations around the converged edge.In terms of products, Intel has a broad chip portfolio, ranging from Atom^®, Core^?, Xeon^®and other processor families, to FPGA, Movidus With VPU and other inference acceleration products, Intel can provide powerful computing capabilities to a wide range of industry customers. The series of software tools launched by Intel, including the OpenVINO tool suite, are also providing strong support for developer innovation; ecologically, Intel works closely with industry partners to jointly create huge cooperation partner ecosystem, and is committed to solving real problems in the digital transformation of thousands of industries; in terms of organizational structure, Intel this year merged the Network Platform Division, the Internet of Things Division, and the Connectivity Division into one business unit, the Network and Edge Division, to promote Intel's technology and product leadership in the converged edge field.

With the rapid rise of the converged edge, the edge side also shows a surge in video demand and artificial intelligence use demand. The number of cameras deployed on the edge side and the resulting data are also growing rapidly. At the same time, video technology continues to shape the edge, bringing new insights to Intel; video technology is also integrating with other super technological forces, including 5G, to continuously promote intelligent upgrades, profoundly affecting the way Intel builds the edge, and leading a new transformation.

Starting from the three major technical characteristics, Intel is constantly promoting the upgrade of video technology from both hardware and software aspects. Whether it is CPU, VPU, ASIC, FPGA and other diverse chips, as well as a series of intelligent hardware equipped with Intel chips, or Intel's full-stack software products, video processing can be done with half the effort. From the security field to industry, retail, transportation and public sectors, the basic technology of video is profoundly affecting all walks of life and has spawned a wider range of application scenarios to help users unlock more business value.

Today, China's retail, financial services, hotel and catering and education industries are ushering in a wave of innovation. Compared with other regions, Chinese consumers have higher and more demanding requirements for physical products. around these areas,Intel has worked closely with Chinese customers, including Intel^®A series of innovative cooperation including super cloud terminals, intelligent video conferencing, etc.For the industrial industry, Intel has developed chips and software products that can meet the unique needs of industrial scenarios, and works with domestic ecological partners to support the market's growing demand for workload integration and provide excellent digital transformation solutions for the industrial industry.

会上，Thomas Lantzsch还重申，From the number of customers and solutions, to the number of downloads of developer tools, to the results of industry-university-research cooperation, it is proven that China has always been and will continue to be an important driving force for Intel's success.The strong support from Chinese partners has also significantly accelerated Intel's overall pace of innovation. Currently, Intel has more than 700 partners, more than 1,100 solution design partners and more than 200 Intel Partner Alliance members in China. Intel has designed and built 128 edge solutions with partners in the Chinese market, and they have been deployed in 4,000 edge projects. At the same time, the number of users of the OpenVINO tool suite in China has exceeded 100,000. In addition, Intel has launched 50 highly active university projects in China to build Intel^®DevCloud, and released edge software center cloud services for the Chinese market.

As edge computing enters an application explosion period, Intel is using its unique combination to help the industry enter a new era of integrated edge; video technology is widely deployed, and the analysis and processing of massive data brings insights to the edge. Intel is relying on the three major technical features of the video field to promote the intelligent upgrade of the edge; more edge-cloud integration technologies are constantly emerging, and Intel is promoting edge-cloud collaboration to become a reality, thereby setting off a wave of innovation in thousands of industries. Currently, Intel is working with ecological partners to lead industry changes through innovative converged edge solutions, promote industrial upgrading, and make AIoT applications truly benefit people's lives.
