China Mobile has intensively established a number of research institutes in the months around 2021, what is the development now?
From the timeline -
On November 13, 2020, China Mobile and Tsinghua University established a joint research institute in Beijing.
November 20, 2020, China Mobile Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Innovation Research Institute.
On January 17, 2021, China Mobile (Zhejiang) Innovation Research Institute was inaugurated.
On January 19, 2021, China Mobile Zijin (Jiangsu) Innovation Research Institute began to be unveiled.
On January 19, 2021, China Mobile's Yangtze River Delta (Nanjing) Science and Technology Innovation Center began to be unveiled.
This wave of operations is dazzling, many people are confused, what is China Mobile doing? At that time, some well-known industry insiders joked that the layout of China Mobile was - "exploring the sea in the Greater Bay Area of Yangcheng, entering the paradise of Hangzhou on earth, and taking the moon on the Purple Mountain in Nanjing".
More than a year has passed, how are these institutes developing? Let's take a look at it one by one
1. China Mobile + Tsinghua University Joint Research Institute
This research institute is highly positioned, when the inauguration of China Mobile Chairman Yang Jie, Tsinghua University Party Secretary Chen Xu personally attended, its business is also very high - on the one hand, to create a scientific research "new highland", focusing on the future of mobile communications, next-generation Internet, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and other cutting-edge scientific and technological fields, to promote the application of basic research and key core technology research, continue to output high-quality, pioneering scientific research results; on the other hand, to create a talent "strong magnetic field", gather outstanding talents of schools and enterprises, Jointly cultivate and build a team of scientific and technological leaders with global vision and international level.
However, these two aspects to produce results are very difficult, scientific research focus on cutting-edge technology, basic research, this itself is very difficult, card neck technology is not three or five years, basically the door can not be touched, let alone output; out of talent is even more difficult, the so-called ten years of trees and centuries of tree people, a team of scientific and technological leaders with global vision and international level, is definitely a continuous investment and long-term persistence.
In addition, it is difficult for enterprise-school cooperation to really produce influential results, after all, the two sides are not in a mode of operation, enterprises follow the laws of the market economy, and the school still teaches and educates people as the big logic, so the cooperation between the two sides is more to take what they need, the enterprise wants a name, the school wants to write funds, as to whether the final can really produce valuable and influential research results, perhaps no one cares at all.
2. China Mobile Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Innovation Research Institute
The positioning of this research institute is more pragmatic, clearly focusing on the layout of industry private networks, large video and wireless cloud network technology applications in the field of communications, focusing on creating an innovation system with deep integration of production, education and research and an open and shared R&D ecology, and building China Mobile Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Innovation Research Institute into a model for China Mobile's scientific research reform "based in Guangdong and radiating the whole country".
With a clear positioning of things is much easier to do, the industry private network, large video and wireless cloud network technology are China Mobile's current urgent needs of technology and application, to do the work is naturally clear direction, clear goals, results are relatively easy, plus this to Guangdong Mobile Provincial Company to operate the research institute, naturally in the promotion of the very pragmatic and efficient.
It is understood that at present, the first self-developed fist product "5G Growth Rate" launched by the Innovation Research Institute of China Mobile Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has been put into large-scale commercial use, which can double the indoor speed and user perception of 5G. In the fields of industry private networks, large videos, and home smart devices, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Innovation Research Institute has actively promoted product application research and development, among which "building a digital government high-speed ubiquitous government extranet based on 5G technology" and "city-level pre-hospital first aid joint innovation demonstration project based on 5G" have also been affirmed inside and outside the industry.
3. China Mobile (Zhejiang) Innovation Research Institute
Compared with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Innovation Research Institute, the positioning of China Mobile (Zhejiang) Innovation Research Institute seems to be higher, Yuan Jiajun, secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, and the chairman of China Mobile jointly unveiled the plaque, and Feng Junlan, chief scientist of China Mobile, served as the president.
Its business positioning is also the main channel layout of China Mobile - integrating the technological innovation capabilities and industrial chain advantages of China Mobile Communications Group, innovating and promoting the integration and application of emerging technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and big data, accelerating the deep integration of a new generation of information technology into the economy, society, and people's livelihood, not only building a good information "high-speed", but also operating a good information "high-speed rail", while empowering thousands of industries.
In addition, as a group-level research and development unit, Zhejiang Research Institute also administers a data center with a total investment of about 2.1 billion yuan, which can be said to be a person with a family foundation.
At present, zhejiang research institute has completed the establishment of the company and the establishment of various systems, the personnel have been accelerated in place, and the production and operation work has gradually moved towards the right track. It is actively exploring the "last kilometer" docking of the research and development results of the group research institute at the provincial end, and promoting the large-scale application and value transformation of the strategic core achievements of China Mobile Group represented by nine-day artificial intelligence.
4. China Mobile Zijin (Jiangsu) Innovation Research Institute
China Mobile Zijin (Jiangsu) Innovation Research Institute mainly focuses on the research directions of blockchain, wireless communication products and application research and development, and builds an industry-university-research cooperation platform to drive collaborative innovation in the upstream and downstream industry chains. After China Mobile and Southeast University reach a strategic cooperation, they will jointly build platform carriers such as the Joint Innovation Center.
However, from the output and application of results, in the past year since its establishment, the Zhejiang Research Institute does not seem to have too many results to get its hands on, but it can be found that a considerable number of patents and software copyrights have been produced, and it is estimated that it is the stage of internal refining ability, and it is expected that it can be accumulated in the future.
At that time, China Mobile established these research institutes, many people can not understand, now it seems that the establishment of these research institutes and China Mobile's new positioning of "creating a world-class information service technology innovation company" is closely related, and is the strategic layout of China Mobile for future development. Today, China Mobile stands at the starting point of a new journey, and in the future, these research institutes are likely to play an important role!
