Trillion investment smart city: to be safer across borders

[According to the US market research institute NavigantResearch, from 2014 to 2023, the global spending on smart city projects will be 177.4 billion US dollars, of which China accounts for a large proportion. ]

[At present, China has released three batches of smart city pilots, and more than 500 cities have proposed or are building smart cities, and the planned investment scale exceeds one trillion. ]

A mobile phone can take the bus and take the subway, and it can automatically recharge and go to various convenience stores. In the process of driving a car, the vehicle can automatically identify local speed limits, traffic signals, road construction warnings and dangerous locations, thereby mitigating traffic flow, fewer traffic accidents, and reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

Through the use of a secure microcontroller chip, electronic fraud cases such as e-passports, citizen cards, citizen ID cards, driver's licenses, and medical cards can be reduced, and the efficiency of public online transactions can be improved. These are some of the pieces of NXP Semiconductors' smart city, and they are the key areas of NXP Semiconductors.

Trillion investment smart city: to be safer across borders

"The three cores of smart cities are all things intelligence, all things interconnected, and all things safe. In these three technology development trends, semiconductor technology has great development and innovation space." NXP executive vice president and general manager of the security and connectivity business unit RudyStroh said. As the world's leading semiconductor manufacturer, NXP provides solutions for connected cars, network security, portable and wearable devices and the Internet of Things.

Cross-industry chain cooperation

According to estimates by Navigant Research, a US market research firm, global spending on smart city projects will be $177.4 billion between 2014 and 2023, with China accounting for a larger share.

As a chip manufacturer, from which areas to enter smart cities, how to interconnect and cross-industry, cross-domain data, and establish social needs suitable for cross-industry applications, thereby enhancing the value of semiconductor enterprises in the industrial chain, is the primary thinking of NXP's involvement in smart cities The problem.

Taking Shenzhen public transportation mobile payment system as an example, as one of the initiators of NFC (Near Field Communication) standard, NXP's core advantage lies in the NFC chip solution. Faced with the differences between different city bus payment systems, NXP chose to cooperate with system integrator Snowball in the upstream of the industry chain. The latter mainly used smart phones instead of wallets to enhance the mobile trading experience for consumers and help mobile phone manufacturers. Service providers and merchants realize non-contact mobile payment transactions, and the platform advantage in the application service field is obvious.

From the upper layer application to the lower-level intelligent terminal and infrastructure, it can integrate multiple city bus mobile payment functions, solve the expansion problem, and greatly accelerate the time-to-market of products and services.

Cross-industry chain cooperation puts higher demands on every participant in the smart city. The company needs to establish a new rapid development process to respond quickly to market demands. “Simplify design, speed up proofing into the production process, and make the necessary adjustments to the product at each stage.” In RudyStroh's view, this means reducing technical complexity and enhancing technical compatibility.

It is reported that NXP is vigorously promoting the application of its mobile bus system and mobile smart card services in Chinese cities, and has achieved contactless ticketing in cities such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou. NXP plans to develop mobile bus system business in 2017 in China's top ten cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing and Wuhan.

Safety is the cornerstone

The popularity of the Internet of Things brings deeper opportunities for the development of smart cities. It also means better connections and higher security, helping users to achieve more digital interactions and more secure transmission of personal and private data. In particular, it involves electronic payment and government electronic document information, and the requirements for security are more stringent.

"The number of cyber attacks is increasing, and intrusion terminals are increasingly becoming the common way to obtain data illegally. From the perspective of security technologies, there is an urgent need to provide solutions that can meet complex security requirements in the context of the Internet of Everything," RudyStroh said.

At the physical security level, NXP has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in security technology development to provide high-speed encrypted application processors. For example, SmartMX technology, which is used in e-government, banking and mobile security, integrates more than 100 anti-attack security features, including physical anti-cloning technology, which uses the unique “fingerprint” of each semiconductor to ensure the security of encrypted data and prevent individuals. Data was stolen

In addition to security on hardware devices, NXP has developed encryption technologies from the edge of the network to the gateway to the cloud in terms of system and cloud service security. “Intelligent and secure hardware is the foundation of a smart city. The goal of making a product is simple and secure, but the work behind it is very complicated. To implement this system, all the links in the ecological chain need to be integrated.” NXP Security Monitoring Service AsitGoel, senior vice president and general manager of the department, said.

In fact, it is not NXP Semiconductors that is targeting the “smart city” market in China. Multinational companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, and Siemens have been actively seeking to cooperate with the Chinese government to promote their smart city projects. At present, China has released three batches of smart city pilots, and more than 500 cities have proposed or are building smart cities, with plans to invest more than one trillion yuan.

In RudyStroh's view, there are several opportunities for building a smart city in China: First, from a policy perspective, the Chinese government has listed the development of smart city technology and projects as a national key development strategy. Regardless of size, the government continues to be firm. Relevant policies to promote the construction of smart cities; Secondly, in terms of consumer behavior, Chinese consumers are more inclined to experience new technology products, and a strong OEM base has made China the “most exciting market” for smart cities.
