Beijing Unicom Announces Formal Commercial Use of NB-IoT | Nearly 10,000 Base Stations Opened at the End of the Year

On June 15, Beijing Unicom announced the official commercial launch of a new generation of Internet of Things NB-IoT. NB-IoT is a narrow-band Internet of Things technology with wide coverage, low power consumption, large connectivity and low cost. NB-IoT can be applied to 60 In the low-speed scenes in the Internet of Things (IoT) network environment, including remote meter reading, municipal administration, smart parking, and environmental monitoring, a variety of scenarios began. Since last year, the three major operators have focused on NB-IoT as the focus of the Internet of Things industry. NB-IoT network construction.

At present, Beijing Unicom's NB-IoT network construction, combined with spectrum characteristics, technology maturity, chip modules and other aspects, Beijing preferred 900M for IoT deployment, and at the same time open 1800M NB network on-demand, to achieve dual-frequency coverage, to create Terminal types cover the most complete NB-IoT network.

In the target planning, the first phase was as of May 17, 2018, before the International Telecommunication Day, Beijing Unicom has completed the construction of approximately 5,000 900Mhz NB networks; the second phase, by the end of 2018, nearly 10,000 NB-IoT narrow bands were achieved. Networked base station opened.

At the current stage, Beijing Unicom has achieved full-area coverage of the entire urban area and suburban county, combined with actual demand in key areas, industrial parks, science and technology parks to increase the coverage density. In addition, Beijing Unicom will launch the recruitment of IoT partners in the near future. plan.
