5G is here, will the next golden age belong to the Internet of Things?

On December 4, 2013, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially issued 4G licenses to the three major operators. In just a few years, 4G networks completely replaced 3G and became a necessity in people's lives. The mature development of smartphones has also become a very iconic product of the 4G era, while non-smartphones have been quickly eliminated by the market and become a stepping stone of the era.

On June 6, 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially issued 5G commercial licenses, marking the official entry of my country into the first year of 5G commercialization. Miao Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also stated that 5G-supported application scenarios have expanded from mobile Internet to mobile Internet of Things.

The next golden age will be the era of IoT enterprises

If now is the golden age for Internet companies, then the next golden age will be the era of Internet of Things companies.

Once 5G is widely popularized, the prospects of smart home, one of the most imaginative "Internet of Things" industries in the 5G era, will be limitless. This is because smart home is one of the application scenarios for the public to experience 5G changing their lives.

Perhaps you don’t know that even if you have been using home appliances for ten years, by connecting them to related smart products, you can also connect to the “Internet of Things” and achieve interconnection between people, machines and objects. This is a function that “smart home” can already achieve at this stage.

"The emergence of 5G and the booming Internet of Things will inevitably accelerate the elimination of old home appliances. This is the inevitable result of user choice. The popularization and promotion of smart homes will also speed up the replacement of home appliances." The person in charge of At Smart Home said in an interview with reporters.

Are you ready to eat the "smart home" cake that few big players have touched?

When 5G really comes and when social resources focus on the "Internet of Things", just like the intelligent updates of mobile phones, the qualitative changes in life driven by the upgrades of household items will also be the trend of the times.

The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology's "5G Industry Economic Contribution" believes that from 2020 to 2025, my country's total economic output directly driven by 5G commercialization is expected to reach 10.6 trillion yuan, and 5G will directly create more than 3 million jobs.

So, the question is, what kind of people are suitable to be "smart home" franchisees or agents?

First of all, if you are related to real estate, decoration, home design, building materials, home appliances and other industries, and have similar customer groups and sources, you can consider transforming to smart home. With customers in hand, there is no need to worry about the lack of market. When facing a new industry, the first thing is to "survive".

Secondly, other practitioners in the smart industry also have a great opportunity to make a fortune in the "smart home" track. They understand technology, the market, and user consumption psychology.

Third, if you want to do smart home business, you must have capital investment in the early stage, such as renting shops to build stores, purchasing products, team operation, etc. Therefore, financial support is also a key factor.

What are the better smart home companies on the market now?

When asked about this question, the person in charge of Aite Smart Home said, "If you go to the Construction Expo, the first building materials exhibition, you will see a dazzling variety of smart home companies. For the smart home industry, it is now like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when a hundred schools of thought contended, and each company is doing everything it can to attract customers."

At present, many smart home companies charge customers a high franchise fee and a delivery fee of 100,000 or even 200,000 yuan. It is understood that Aite Smart Home is one of the few companies in the industry that does not hold back goods and does not charge franchise fees. Backed by a listed company, it has strong technical strength and a good reputation in the real estate industry. It is a smart home partner of many top 100 real estate developers. At this stage, it focuses on accelerating the expansion of the C-end market and cultivating users.

With the maturity and application of 5G, the commercial use of technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence is an inevitable choice for users, and "smart home" is likely to become an excellent use scenario for the Internet of Things to fully enter users' lives. 5G is here, will you consider making a smart home?
