The Chinese government launched "Made in China 2025" in early 2015 to increase the competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry, improve quality and productivity, and promote digitalization. At the same time, the “Internet Plus” program was proposed to integrate traditional industries with the Internet, cloud computing, and big data. The essence of "Made in China 2025" and "Internet +" is ultimately the Internet of Things. It also means that for smarter and more efficient manufacturing and commerce, the role of networking and connectivity will be even more important, and Wi-Fi will be an important presence to connect all of these “things”.

Need for standardized technology and scalability

At the heart of the Internet of Things are millions of devices that transmit data to centralized systems. The information contained in these data may be various variables such as humidity, temperature, location of the user, movement of the goods, and the like. The captured information is then transmitted to the cloud or other devices (ie, various "objects") for data exchange or analysis.

In the process of successfully connecting devices, the role of connectivity is critical, and the choices are wide: for example, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), RFID, NFC, and so on. We consider several factors in the choice of solution, including environmental factors (such as cement, wood, metal), sensor density, required connection distance and transmission speed.

Among all the wireless connections, Wi-Fi is the most suitable technology for IoT connectivity, and it can be used as an adhesive for the Internet of Things to connect these devices. With the infinite proliferation of connected nodes, the coverage and total amount of connected devices will also grow rapidly. The 802.11ac standard will meet this need.

Demand for speed

The industry has been transitioning from the early 802.11n standard to today's 802.11ac network for about six years. This has been a long time in the tech world, but it is definitely worth waiting for six years. The biggest advantage of the 802.11ac standard is its unprecedented speed in the 5 GHz band - more than 10 times higher than earlier versions, and significantly improved the local wireless local area network (WLAN) user experience. 802.11ac supports up to 100 users in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

At the same time, the network needs to meet the following requirements: first, to be scalable to cope with demand growth; second, to be versatile to connect different devices and operating systems; and third, to have a high degree of security, To protect company data. Wireless systems must be able to cope with the market's ever-increasing demands for speed and capacity, while at the same time ensuring performance and reliability comparable to wired networks.

The 802.11ac standard enables more efficient spectrum utilization, higher capacity, and reduced latency. This standard is especially useful for devices with limited antennas such as smartphones and tablets. It is predicted that the 802.11ac access point will completely replace the old 802.11n system by 2018.

Security and privacy needs

The GSMA pointed out in a report that China is now active at the forefront of IoT development. ABI Research also predicted in a recent report that by 2020, the total revenue of China's Internet of Things services will exceed 41 billion US dollars, more than five times compared with 2015, and will become the fastest growing country in the world. As more and more devices and services access this huge IoT network, it is difficult for system administrators to monitor all aspects of communication on their own, which may also make the system more vulnerable to malicious attacks.

In many industries where IoT has begun to be applied, information transmission does not require deliberate intervention. For example, in the manufacturing industry, the transmission of forklift operator data to the server does not require the operator to download the data personally after each loading and unloading. This requires both endpoints and networks to be fully secured.

To protect the data, property, and privacy of organizations, employees, and customers, the Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS), such as Zebra's AirDefense, plays a key role in detecting and protecting the network from intrusion and quickly removing it. Any dangerous equipment on the network. In the event of a security breach, IT managers should focus on how to quickly and accurately choose a solution to handle many threats (or specific events).

The future of wireless networks and the Internet of Things

Zebra Technologies recently launched a survey with Forrester Consulting, covering retail and hospitality, transportation and logistics in the US and Europe. The results show that 60% of companies are expanding or planning to adopt relevant Of the Internet of Things technologies, 50% of them have recently updated their wireless infrastructure to cope with new devices and services.

China is also catching up with this trend. The Wi-Fi market has grown steadily over the past few years, and we're seeing the deployment of more and more enterprise-class wireless applications and the installation of more 802.11ac client devices and access points. Faced with challenges in speed, reliability and security, W-Fi is the best wireless option to connect everything. With the gradual implementation of “Made in China 2025” and “Internet Plus”, I believe that more industries will usher in the breakthrough of IoT applications. Wi-Fi will continue to play an important role in the connected world, and its importance will be in the next few years. It is also expected to be further highlighted.

Zebra's WLAN solution delivers superior network performance, helping organizations improve management visibility and enable enterprises to take advantage of digital intelligence.

Portable Power Station

A portable power station is the best option if you need to juice up common personal electronics and small appliances while spending long periods of time away from household AC outlets, or if you want to have backup power ready to go in case of an emergency.



They have enough capacity to power a few small appliances for a short time. With a host of different outlets (standard 120v outlets, USB ports, and DC chargers), you can use the station to charge electronics, too. And the units often come with portable solar panels, to add more charging capabilities and extend runtime.



UPGRADED 250-WATT POWERFUL AC, USB AND 12V OUTPUTS: Comparing to similar Battery powered generators, Rockpals RP250W portable generator has upgraded the AC output to 250W continuous (300W surge max) dual AC outputs, built-in 2x USB 2.1A and 4x DC 12V ( 60W ) ports. Perfect emergency backup power for home/ travel/ camping, charging up your tablets, iPhone, iPad, laptops, fans, TV, lights and CPAP machine (*Use DC converter from your CPAP would get longer hours)
