Wi-Fi deployment 2018

August 25-27, organized by the Ministry of Education College Computer Teaching Steering Committee, organized by Shanghai Jiaotong University, Texas Instruments (TI), Wi-Fi Alliance, and other full support and sponsorship of the 2014 National University Biological Network Design Competition The national finals of the (TI Cup) were held at Shanghai Jiaotong University. 50 teams from universities across the country participated in the competition.

The competition adopts an open competition mode with the theme of Internet of Things technology. The students independently select topics, design independently, and complete works independently, maximizing the students’ ability to innovate. The works involve smart home, energy conservation, emission reduction, mobile applications, etc. In many fields, it provides a stage and exchange platform for students to exercise growth and transform their productivity into technology. This has played a role in the development of the Internet of Things industry and the cultivation of talents.

As the country's strategic emerging industry, the Internet of Things has received unprecedented attention in its technology research, industrial development, application promotion and personnel training. Shanghai Jiaotong University is at the forefront of domestic universities in terms of scientific research and personnel training in IoT technology. In particular, in November 2010, the university led the establishment of the “Computerized Education Engineering Expert Group of the Internet of Things” of the Ministry of Education, 2012. In July 2005, he presided over the preparation and publication of the "Research Report on Specialized Development Strategies for IOT Projects in Colleges and Universities and Professional Standards (Trial)" and the "Practice Teaching System and Specification for IoT Engineering in Colleges and Universities (Trial)" for domestic IoT engineering majors. The construction has played a leading role.

The contest focused on the display of the results of the university’s teaching achievements in the field of Internet of Things and the design of the National University’s biological networking design program. The Internet of Things industry and enterprises have experienced that today’s higher education has gradually approached the needs of the industry, and the student’s design ideas have met the needs of the market.

For example, the distributed parking space intelligent monitoring system uses a “pressure blanket” (pressure sensing) method to obtain information such as parking space positioning and navigation. It can accurately determine whether there is a vehicle parked on a parking space, and determine whether the vehicle is Stop or affect the use of other parking spaces to guide the driver to stop. In addition, when there are pedestrians approaching the vehicle or other vehicles, the system will automatically alarm. All this information can be sent to the driver in real time through the mobile application.

The "mMax Musical Gloves", which looks like a pair of ordinary gloves, can be used to play the sounds of pianos, drums, guitars, flute, and other musical instruments in conjunction with pressure sensors. Even more interesting is that the system can access multiple gloves at the same time, different gloves can play different instruments at the same time, so that music performance is no longer limited by venues and instruments.

The member of the jury committee and deputy director of Wuxi National Sensing Information Center Management Committee Ma Xiaodong commented on the entries. “Students' works are not only fresh but creative, but also an important source of innovation and application of the Internet of Things. Some of the entries compete for market demand. Quasi-precise and highly applicable, it has formed the basic prototype of IoT mature products and commercial products. It is in line with the needs of enterprises and markets, and is easily seen by the market and venture capital. This should be a major highlight of this competition.”

Kelly Davis-Felner, vice president of marketing for the Wi-Fi Alliance, said that he was very pleased to see the students’ interest in using Wi-Fi technology and apply it to IoT innovations to increase efficiency, productivity and improve people’s lifestyle. .

According to 2013 forecasts from IHS iSuppli and other agencies, the deployment of Wi-Fi will increase from 4 billion in 2013 to 10 billion in 2018, covering mobile terminal devices such as laptops, tablets and smart phones sold today; In 2005, there will be more than 725 million Wi-Fi home networks worldwide; by 2018, the number of Wi-Fi hotspots will increase from the current 5 million to 10.5 million.

According to Kelly Davis-Felner, the technology and certification of the Wi-Fi Alliance will be centered on the development of emerging smart households including network appliances, smart energy, automatic Wi-Fi, wearable devices, home monitoring, and high-definition multimedia.
