As the digital economy continues to expand and industries accelerate their digital transformation, communication technologies and standards are constantly evolving. These developments are driving innovation in smart devices and reshaping the connected technology market. As a critical foundation for connecting people, devices and systems, communication technologies are essential to enabling the Internet of Everything (IoE).

A wide range of technologies, including cellular connectivity (2G/3G/4G/Cat.1/NB-IoT and 5G/5G RedCap), low-power wide-area networks (ChirpLAN/LoRa/ZETA/Wi-SUN), satellite IoT (IoT NTN), and short-range wireless communication (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/Zigbee/2.4 GHz/Sub-1 GHz), are driving successive waves of innovation in smart connected devices and creating new demands across industries.

Driven by large-scale digital infrastructure initiatives, including smart city development and China’s Digital China strategy, the global IoT market has grown to an enormous scale, worth trillions. However, many IoT applications still depend on the coverage limitations of terrestrial fixed and mobile networks. Meanwhile, as connected assets and devices move between locations, their collected data becomes significantly more valuable when linked to accurate location information. Reliable and precise positioning is therefore a key enabler of the next stage of IoT development.

For outdoor applications, GNSS technologies such as BeiDou and GPS continue to evolve, delivering increasingly accurate positioning and supporting a growing range of use cases. Indoor environments, however, present more complex physical conditions and positioning requirements, giving rise to a diverse range of technologies, including Bluetooth RSSI, Bluetooth AoA/AoD, UWB, RFID, Wi-Fi, inertial navigation, ultrasonic positioning, acoustic positioning and vision-based positioning.

Focusing on communication technologies and high-precision positioning, this exhibition zone aims to advance the integration of communication and navigation technologies. It will present the entire technology value chain, from chips and modules to smart connected devices and industry-specific digital solutions, providing a comprehensive showcase of the technologies driving the connected world.

The exhibition will bring together leading companies and industry experts from across the wireless communication, positioning and IoT technology supply chains to explore current developments, emerging trends and future opportunities. It will also provide an effective platform for face-to-face engagement, business networking and partnerships between technology providers and end users.

We believe this event will serve as an important platform for the sensor and wireless communication industries to embrace the next phase of IoT development. We warmly invite you to join us and be part of the growth and transformation of the connected world.
