WiFi City: Ubiquitous connections

Every reporter Chen Weilin from Shanghai May 2, 2011 afternoon, Tai Kang Road, Luwan District, Shanghai, white-collar Wu Xu and girlfriend Liu Lili in Tian Zi Fang 5th building a gallery to drink coffee, Wu Xu in and gallery owner chat, Liu Lili is using the ipad under the game. "Here things are very fast, we often come here on the internet, a nest is an afternoon."　　Liu Lili told reporters that she used the Shanghai mobile "CMCC" WiFi signal. Shanghai Mobile said that by the end of this year, the company will be built to cover the entire city 35 million square meters, can serve 700,000 people online Internet-connected WLAN.　　A city landmark like Tianzifang is a key area of mobile WLAN coverage in Shanghai. With the popularity of mobile internet devices, there is a surge in the need to connect to the Internet anytime, anywhere.　　In this trend, for businesses, to provide customers with the convenience of access to the Internet, become more and more important. WiFi is a landmark "standard" "Now open a shop, no wifi at all, to gather popularity, must have WiFi." "Tai Kang Road 210 Lane 5th, Gu Yuan gallery of the boss told the Daily Economic news reporter, at the beginning of the gallery, he was also a headache for the internet," I often give customers a picture, blog will often update oil paintings, one day can not be separated from the network. began to use a cable network, but here is the old house, modified cable special trouble, the room dragged a fifty or sixty-meter line is not elegant, the initial installation fees, monthly rental fees or anything more inexpensive. installed, the speed of 512K, someone to download a large flow of things, I will card here. "Last April, Shanghai moved to Tian Zi Fang to promote WLAN, Mr. Zhang did not hesitate to apply for 5 accounts." "WiFi do not pull the cable, an Internet account dozens of yuan, the monthly unlimited flow, very cost-effective, and network speed is no worse than the cable, download pictures quickly." Some guests come to the gallery to see the painting, in case of emergency, need to send and receive an email, I will borrow the account for them to use, the guests will suddenly feel good.　　Shanghai Mobile has revealed that there are now 12 total 42 active accounts in the Tianzifang for mobile WLANs like Mr. Zhang. In charge of Tianzifang WLAN project, China Mobile Shanghai Company group account Manager Zhang introduced, in the network quality, Shanghai Mobile to Tianzifang did a "double double net" wireless coverage, visitors can find "CMCC" signal, can also find "CMCC-TZF (group customer-specific)" signal,　　Average speed up to 2Mbps. "The signal coverage is basically done in 10.1-meter laps and will be optimized according to customer feedback." "Zhang said," Tianzifang WLAN construction has two major problems: one is Tianzifang Stone library door House has nearly hundred years of history, is a Luwan business card, there are a lot of historical protection of buildings, not allowed to install open-wire; the second is a criss-crossing, winding, shop distribution is very irregular, wireless signal is easy to occlusion, The wireless signal needs to be fully covered to be accurately calculated and designed. "The number of hot spots in 3 yearsDouble WiFi Alliance statistics, the current global WiFi users have reached 600 million, equipment holdings of more than 1 billion, most smartphones, notebooks, tablets have WLAN capabilities.　　With the start of the domestic 3G business and rapid development of mobile data services to achieve a blowout growth, WLAN suitable for indoor hot spots and 3G network together to provide faster and more convenient wireless internet services, at the same time, the WLAN industry is very mature, the network and the cost of use are relatively low. The number of WiFi hotspots in the world is expected to increase by more than 2014 a year from the current 750,000, according to Kellydavis-felner, the market director of the WiFi Alliance. "Global operators are investing more in building WiFi hotspots, hot zones and wireless cities to complement the Cellular Wan (WAN). "The popularity of mobile internet and smartphone brings huge data traffic to operators." This aspect becomes the operator launches each kind of mobile Internet application The power, on the one hand more tests the carrier Network load capacity. WLANs have been considered an effective complement to the 3G network. With the fast popularization of 3G intelligent terminals, the rapid growth of mobile data traffic, high mobility, low cost and fast construction of WLAN network can effectively divert and lighten the mobile data.　　In conjunction with WLAN deployment in mobile network construction, WLAN share the load pressure of mobile network, realize the "seamless connection" experience of 3G network +wlan Network, and has become the standard scheme of the current network of operators.　　Kellydavis-felner said that in the past few years, the demand for mobile devices has grown more and more rapidly, which has greatly facilitated the development of 3G and 4G, so that operators consider using WiFi as a complement to each other, and WiFi has become a core strategy for operators. Three major operators compete for WLAN under the general trend, China Unicom and China Mobile have started bidding for WLAN equipment of 200,000 units and 380,000 units last year, and China Telecom started bidding for 802.11n equipment in February this year, and Chinese mobile and Unicom have started bidding for WLAN equipment this year.　　Some investment banks predict that the large-scale roll-out of WLAN will drive 25 billion yuan to 30 billion yuan new market of telecom equipment. On April 7, China Mobile's chairman, Mr Wang, revealed in the "China Mobile's Ninth Strategic Development Forum" that China Mobile plans to increase the number of WiFi hotspots nationwide to 1 million within 3 years, and urged handset makers to produce WiFi-enabled handheld devices, including adding WiFi-enabled smartphones.　　For China Mobile, which has 600 million users, and a considerable part of it has become accustomed to mobile internet, it is one of the key strategies to improve the quality of user experience, retain high-end and young users in the network, to share the data flow pressure of GSM and TD network with a dense wifi hotspot. In fact, China Mobile has a good base for WLAN networkingFoundation, the current mobile base station has reached 590,000, more importantly, China Mobile network of fiber network coverage has reached more than 90%, on the basis of extension can be quickly built WLAN, which is China Telecom, Unicom is currently unable to reach the advantage. According to statistics, as of the end of 2010, China Mobile WiFi hotspot in the country has reached 285,000, ranking three operators first. Recently, China Mobile also signed a wireless City investment plan in Chengdu, Xi ' an and other areas.　　It is understood that mobile internal wireless city and WLAN construction requirements are: "Through wireless city Fuzzy network differences, to make up for terminal disadvantage."　　Related news in the telecom WiFi Shichangka recently, Shanghai Telecom announced the launch of the country can roam the "sky-wing Broadband WiFi card", using the card to connect Wi-Fi network, like using IP phone cards to make long-distance as convenient. For the purpose of launching the card, Shanghai Telecom, a management Personage said, the three major operators are actively carrying out their own WLAN coverage, but for users, the WLAN operator is not important, can be in need of convenient connection is the most important, the launch of China Telecom Long card,　　It is for the sky-wing mobile phone users and non-sky-wing mobile phone users can use the Shanghai Telecom's WLAN anytime and anywhere.　　It is reported that Shanghai Telecom "sky-wing Broadband WiFi card" products can be purchased online, access to the account, users can be in the sky-wing Broadband WiFi network (Network logo is chinanet) of the hot spot to use, and tour the country.　　China Unicom Wi-Fi covers 40,000 single buildings this year with the rapid development of mobile Internet, the increasing user data traffic challenges the mobile network carrying capacity, China Unicom is increasing its input to WLAN.　　Recently, Zhang Zhongping, general manager of China Unicom Network construction Department, said China Unicom's WiFi deployment target is to achieve 40,000 single buildings. Last year, China Unicom launched 200,000 WLAN equipment indicators, hoping to further improve mobile network capabilities. This year Unicom also pioneered the launch of a new round of WLAN equipment bidding, and 802.11n as the focus of the acquisition of procurement objects. "We've had a big boost in WiFi this year, covering key areas and connecting WiFi with fixed networks," Zhang Zhongping said. Jiang, deputy general manager of China Unicom Market, said that in the WLAN business model, Unicom and the other two operators are basically consistent, Unicom is also considering the charging mechanism, and timely launch with the existing network integration tariff strategy.
