Mobile Internet traffic surges China steps into "Big Data" era

More and more Chinese people are accustomed to using smartphones to search for food nearby, to find traffic routes, to buy items online, to log on to social networks and to record every moment of their lives. Perhaps they do not know they have become the "big data" of the era of loyal fans.

"In a new era of information technology convergence, big data is a new kind of economic asset like gold, an important strategic resource like oil," he said. "Hequan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in a recent summit forum on" Broadband China and optical fiber communications "that with the rapid increase of mobile bandwidth technology, more sensor devices, mobile terminals access to the network anytime and anywhere, resulting in a large number of data, and still at an alarming rate of rapid growth.

"China has stepped into the ' Big data ' era, driven by technologies such as cloud computing and Internet of things. Hequan said that in the past few 18 months, China Mobile Internet traffic has increased 10 times times, accounting for the global Internet traffic 10%, become a veritable "world Data center."

Using a variety of modern communication tools, such as smartphones, computers and tablets, people in modern society are constantly sending and retrieving data to servers distributed around the world. All these services rely on the support of "big Data", and a series of complex data processing, such as positioning, data retrieval, storage, data exchange, etc., which are involved in the background, are having a far-reaching impact on every field.

' We are in the new revolution, ' said Hequan, ' that the quantitative transformation of massive data will spread rapidly in all areas, and no area can escape its impact.

According to the relevant institutions, large data has become the fastest growing area in the global IT industry. 2010 Global data and related hardware, software and services market reached 3 billion U.S. dollars, 2015 will be more than 17 billion U.S. dollars, an average annual growth rate of more than 50%. As an important component of the global data industry, the size of China's big data potential market is expected to reach 2 trillion yuan in the future.

In the "Big Data" era, China is a multi-directional layout of the "Big data" industry, all over the government, communications companies, research institutes, IT companies, etc. are "gearing up", hoping to be in this big cake to be divided into "a cup of soup."

Last April, China Mobile, Unicom, China Telecom, the three major operators in XI ' an XI ' an large data processing and service industry park, which is the first of the Chinese High-tech Park to the center. The China Unicom Project, which invests 2 billion yuan, has signed a memorandum of cooperation to construct the Northwest Regional Data center, the call center and the West Salt Development Zone Operation Center in three phases.

Last July, Alibaba Group, a world-renowned E-commerce brand, set up the "Chief data officer" position at the management level to manage "poly Stone Tower"-a large data-sharing platform that creates value by sharing data from Alibaba's subsidiaries, such as Taobao, Cat, Alipay and so on. The same platform model is also found in another Chinese internet giant, Tencent, which is building a community open platform to achieve a lot of data interoperability to tap into bigger business opportunities.

At the same time, in the process of Internet operation, such as network congestion and other technical problems, its own main indicators and characteristics of how to perceive, diagnose and measure also become an urgent problem to be solved in many countries.

The Wuhan Institute of Posts and Telecommunications, which specializes in optical communication, solves this problem effectively. In the International Telecommunication Union ITU-T 13th Research Group, Wuhan Post Institute has developed y.2770 standards, approved by the World Telecommunication Standards Conference, and has become the world's first international standard for Internet service perception and content recognition.

Yu Shaohua, deputy Dean of Wuhan Post Academy, says that with the advent of the "Big Data" era, Internet sensors developed on the basis of this standard will open up a new area of internet industry of tens of billions of dollars.

Hequan said that "big data" has penetrated into every corner of people's lives, the Chinese parties have recognized the wealth brought about by the data and are actively engaged in digging up this huge industry. The big Data age, the intelligent production and the wireless network three kinds of technology will cause the new century the technological change, direct birth the third industrial revolution.

The academician of CAS also believes that in the era of large data, traditional development tools can not adapt to the development of the times, large data management and processing capacity will lead the network development, social computing will lead to the application of the mode of change, the new industrial Revolution is in a new form of "quietly" appear.
