Smart enterprises are rushing to the “feast” of the Smart China Expo (SCE) for more in-depth communication, further cooperation, and contract signing with experts and peers. According to statistics, during the 1st SCE in 2018, 501 projects were signed with a total investment of 612 billion RMB, including 185 outside and 316 projects inside Chongqing with an investment of 45 and 567 billion RMB, respectively.
The construction of Chongqing’s first 5G new demonstrative smart park has begun
The 5G network covers every corner of the park. Once entering it, the free, high-speed, and low-latency data and application services provided by 5G virtual private network are accessible.
Huaxiong · Time Smart City 5G Smart Park, the first 5G new demonstrative smart park of Chongqing
Every detached office building is equipped with a “smart security guard,” which can realize not only smart clocking-in of employees but also facial recognition of strangers to ensure a safe office space. Moreover, after everyone gets off work, it will automatically turn off the lights, air conditioning, and other office facilities to save energy. Employees who need to work overtime can apply to it for a certain overtime period, and it will make all the facilities they need accessible.
All assumptions mentioned above are expected to be realized in Huaxiong · Time Smart City 5G Smart Park, the first 5G new demonstrative smart park of Chongqing, of Jieshi IT Industry Zone in Ba’nan District in the next one or two years.
In the built exhibition hall, the 5G smart park is displayed on the sand table via such technologies as 3D printing holographic laser projection, glasses-free VR holography, and holographic animation. The 3D models of the office buildings and infrastructure are built at a ratio of 1:1, giving a clear view of what the 360,000-square-meter park will look like when it is completed.
SK Hynix increases investment in Chongqing
SK Hynix is a world-renowned memory manufacturer and a giant in the semiconductor industry.
SK Hynix Semiconductor (Chongqing) Ltd.
Several years ago, it settled in Chongqing Xiyong Micro-electronics Industrial Park and established SK Hynix Semiconductor (Chongqing) Ltd. This company is mainly responsible for SK Hynix's semiconductor post-process businesses, including the probe test and installation, packaging, package test, module assembly and module test of semiconductor products, as well as the research and development of semiconductor products and other similar products.
In 2018, the annual output of SK Hynix Semiconductor (Chongqing) Ltd. exceeded 900 million chips, making it a substantial production base of SK Hynix worldwide.
WPRI builds into an intelligent park demonstration project in Chongqing
Potevio Information Technology Co., Ltd. (PIT for short), a subsidiary of Potevio Group Corporation (PGC), is a whole-industry-chain company specializing in research and development (R&D), production, marketing, engineering and after-sales service of high-tech products.
PGC signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Chongqing to set up Western Potevio Research Institute (WPRI) in Chongqing during the 2018 SCE. In January 2019, PIT reached a cooperation agreement with Chongqing Xiyong Micro-electronics Industrial Park (Chongqing Xiyong MIP).
WPRI is positioned to be a high-end R&D center and will also develop into a sub-center for intelligent application R&D and southwest regional business development. It carries out core technology research in the cloud platform, big data, Internet of Things (IoT) and other fields, product R&D, industry incubation and application promotion for intelligent applications such as intelligent parks, to build it into an intelligent application project integrating production, marketing, and research.
SGCC’s first cloud-edge collaborative multi-station project put into operation in Chongqing
Chongqing has such a substation integrating the functions of power transmission and transformation, data center station, 5G base station and BeiDou base station that it can be called a “versatile” technical facility. This is the first domestic cloud-edge collaborative multi-station integration pilot project of State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), which has been put into operation recently at the 110kV Shagou Substation in Jiangbei District, not far from the Chongqing International Expo Center.
Multi-station integration refers to the integrated construction of multiple station functions such as data center station, battery swap station, energy storage station, 5G base station, BeiDou base station and photovoltaic station base on existing substation resources. For instance, data center stations, 5G base stations, and Beidou base stations have been built in the indoor space of the Shagou 110kV Substation. In the future, users near the Shagou 110kV Substation will have access to services of the data center, 5G communication, and Beidou navigation.
Shagou 110kV Substation will provide data and communication support services at 2019 SCE, during which exhibitors can rent the servers of the Station directly without carrying their background servers to give on-the-spot presentations.
