The bright future of smart communities is also difficult

Since the concept of “Smart Earth” and “Smart City” emerged in 2008, it triggered a global wave of smart city construction. China follows the pace of the world. The “***” report proposes to take the path of new-type industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics, raise the construction of China’s smart cities to the national strategic level, and launch a new wave of informatization in cities and towns. Rapidly swept the country.

As an important component of a smart city, the smart community has become a key goal in all areas. What exactly is a smart community? Smarter communities are using a new generation of information technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, mobile Internet, and information intelligence terminals to achieve digital, networked, intelligent, interactive, and collaborative management of the lives of community residents such as food, shelter, transportation, and travel. The community will be built into a new type of community life with high government efficiency, convenient service, and life intelligence. Experts believe that smart communities are a systematic project. It uses technology to serve human-centered ideas, integrates technology products and IoT technology into life, achieves real-time linkage between families and communities, and achieves a win-win situation among owners, real estate, properties, and businesses.

Smart Community Potential Analysis

At present, Internet technology has not only profoundly changed the mode of production, but is also transforming our lifestyle with a new attitude. In May 2014, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development had proposed long-term goals for the proportion of smart communities to exceed 50% by 2020. The “Guide to the Construction of Smarter Community” recently promulgated by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development also pointed out that in 2015, more than 50 pilot projects will be launched nationwide.

IDC believes that in 2015, the smart community will become the bearing point for the landing of enterprise business, and the smart community industry will achieve rapid expansion. IDC expects that the construction of smart communities will achieve rapid development in 2015, and all companies will accelerate their deployment in the smart community industry. The competition for smart community entrances will become increasingly fierce with pattern innovation, technology promotion and data precipitation.

In 2014, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Notice on Accelerating the Implementation of Information-related Projects" (Development and Improvement of High-tech [2014] No. 46), comprehensively promoted the construction of smart communities, and developed information-for-profit applications. Smart cities and smart communities were constructed. The state and relevant ministries attach great importance. In the construction of smart communities, it is imperative that residents be the core of services, and promote core applications such as smart retirement, smart health, and build a complete and mature smart community construction and operation model. The National Zhi Zhi Standard Committee will carry out research on the evaluation index system for smart communities, and acceptance of community life featuring safety and stability will gradually enter everyone’s life. “Out of the house, the home is on the side; when you come back home, the world is right in front of you.” The high-quality life will come to a great stride.

The smart community is considered by the industry as the trend of the times and believes that there will be considerable development in the near future. We also expect the smart community to bring convenience and comfort to life.

Smart community development

The development of a smart community is a continuous process. From the end of the 1980s, after several stages, including intelligence, digitization, and intelligence, products and technologies have gradually become networked, informatized, and community-based. The direction of service development has expanded and the scope of service has also expanded from buildings and homes to surrounding commercial areas. Market standards and regulations have also been gradually established. From 2004 to 2008, the market became more standardized and products became more abundant. The application extended to communities and cities. The rapid growth phase of the smart community began in 2008. The market has grown rapidly and the product range is complete. Applying the radiation point to the surface has formed the concept of communityization.

In recent years, the government has issued relevant policies from industrial incentives, including the "National 9th ​​Five-Year Plan for Major Science and Technology Development", "China's Architecture Technology Reform Policy" and "2000 Electronic Information Industry Orientation." With the strong support of the government, the expectations of the masses have continuously prompted the smart communities to further implement them in the north and south of China and have been widely welcomed. Introduce high-tech internet of things in real estate projects to achieve a comprehensive community intelligence and intelligence, and strive to create a smart community of technology, fashion, and intelligence to enhance the self-worth of real estate. Through the construction of hardware and software conditions of smart communities, improve the community. The living environment will increase the sense of security and well-being of the owners. It will also promote more close and harmonious communication between neighbors.

The dilemma of building a smart community

As the industry's future development prospects, the smart community is also facing many issues that need to be solved or avoided while carrying a good vision. It seems that the smart community is not far away from us, but the real implementation and perfection also requires the developer to provide more services and support, which will bring more convenience to the future improvement of human settlement. In the process of building a smart community, there are still some difficulties. According to Li Wei, chief engineer of FiberHome's strategy and marketing department, “The concept of smart communities has been available for many years, but the popularity and acceptance are still low. There are two main reasons: First, there is no good business model. Second, the combination of traditional property and new communication technology is slow, and property management, security, and home appliances are all 'separate by the river,' and each industry is accustomed to go it alone, lacking overall considerations for the entire smart community, both for technology and service. There is no overall plan."

Apart from these two reasons mentioned by Chief Engineer Li, there are two reasons:

First, the level of “intelligentness” of products in smart communities is not high enough. For example, an anti-theft alarm system needs to be turned on when no one is at home. After the occupants return home, they must turn off the anti-theft alarm system. Otherwise, false alarm signals will be issued. Another example is the current hot smart home products, the majority of "chicken ribs."

Second, there is a lack of standards and planning for building smart communities. In the process of building a residential community, it is often only possible to refer to the relevant standards of the relevant systems, which leads to greater arbitrariness in engineering design, construction and installation, and equipment selection. Moreover, after the completion of the system, it lacks corresponding acceptance and testing standards, and there is no relevant department to organize acceptance.

Developing a new model for smart communities

The rapid development of the Internet and mobile Internet has brought new dynamism to the traditional economy and traditional industries. Both the business form and business model have undergone tremendous changes. At present, based on the traditional family of IOTs and community IoT, under the new environment of cloud service smart communities, the current development of the surrounding community commercial development has emerged the following new trends: Community commercial development is biased towards multi-functional complexes; Business will become the dominant way of community business; single-functional retail formats will gradually fade out; community business will develop toward the direction of e-commerce intelligence. For this new trend, the content of the smart community has evolved from the digitization and intelligence related to equipment and systems to the level of awareness of services such as comfort and convenience.

Through the current market situation research, we have found that the provision of smart community services is moving toward a new model: an online comprehensive service platform that aggregates peripheral business districts to improve the convenience of living; offline entity operations to create complex community services; use of the Internet Technology, cloud computing has opened up online and offline, putting people first, and achieving service integration and intelligence. Under the new market environment, the smart community has changed from a pure equipment manufacturer and system integrator to become a mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial situation. Upstream and downstream of the industrial chain involves real estate developers, property/community operators, and businesses. Multiple roles such as provider, equipment provider, system integrator, and telecom operator.

Concluding remarks: The construction of China's smart community started relatively late, but it has developed rapidly. The effect of building a smart community in China has achieved initial success. It is believed that under the guidance of the scientific guidance and the technical support of ICT, the future smart community will develop better!
