Smart reserve test bed
Wuhan Zillion IoT Technology Co., Ltd.
A nature reserve refers to the land, water, or sea on which protected objects reside, including a typical natural ecosystem, an area in which rare and endangered wild animals and plants are naturally concentrated, and natural monuments of special significance. The area is under special protection and management in accordance with the law. For many years, China's nature reserves have focused on manual management and lacked effective information management due to unavailable resources, causing varying degrees of damage to the environment and ecosystems of the nature reserves.
To effectively improve the ecosystem management of the reserve, the smart reserve solution takes into account application requirements of real-time onsite monitoring, reliable data transmission, and data model construction. This solution features low investment cost, wide monitoring area, comprehensive monitoring data, reliable and flexible operation, and high system scalability. Using advanced Huawei eLTE broadband and narrowband communication technology, Zillion NAS IoT sensor integration technology, and Hikvision video mining technology, this solution has advantages in wide coverage, multiple nodes, and all-day real-time monitoring. The solution provides stable data, network, and function assurance to achieve comprehensive environment awareness. It also effectively makes up for the high cost of routine ground monitoring, widely dispersed monitoring sites, lack of space-time continuity, and difficulty in comprehensively and quickly reflecting the environment quality and development trends. In addition, the solution enhances service control capabilities of nature reserves, such as video surveillance, joint command, and unified scheduling.
The aim of this test bed is to build a sample of smart reserves in the industry, obtain industry recognition, and implement incubation of this solution to lay a foundation for not only subsequent large-scale replication, but also the application of Big Data monitoring in environmental protection, water affairs, and agriculture.
Based on the advanced EC-IoT architecture, the smart reserve solution uses eLTE-IoT narrowband communication technology and advanced sensor technology to form a sensor network with seamless coverage in the reserve. This network will aggregate data of the reserve's water quality, hydrology, surrounding atmosphere, and weather. Based on the storage, calculation, and analysis of related data, the dynamic trend and relationship model of the environment and ecosystem can be obtained to provide a reliable and high-value basis for making decisions on ecological protection.
The smart reserve monitoring system uses Zillion EC-based simulation fitting technology, learns and accumulates a large amount of high-precision sensor information of standard sites to establish a quantitative basis for fuzzy sensor information, and continuously accumulates data on the relationship between low-precision and high-precision sensor information to form a corrected calculation model. The model is then applied on the edge of the sensor network to locally calculate a matching value. In this way, the low-cost sensors can carry out tests with higher precision and their application is of greater value. Because this technology can greatly reduce the required investment in the system, it can be further applied to digital monitoring in fields such as smart water, smart agriculture, and smart environmental protection.
By integrating with the eLTE broadband and narrowband communication network, advanced sensors, common NAT collectors, and back-end NAS network awareness system, the lab platform collects, monitors, and analyzes data of front-end sensors by using protocol, interface, and data convergence of the system in order to provide the dynamic trend and relationship model of the environment and ecosystem for users and provide reliable and high-value basis for making decisions on ecological protection.

The smart reserve combines Zillion NAS network awareness system and Huawei eLTE broadband and narrowband communication network to realize the awareness of comprehensive environment information of nature reserves. It also establishes an environment association model through Big Data mining, and provides advanced information tools for ecological protection and scientific management of nature reserves, greatly improving work efficiency.
It is predicted that the IoT market will be worth CNY1.5 trillion (about US$230 billion) in 2018, and 100 billion ICT terminals will have been deployed in the digital field by 2025. In China, there are about 2500 nature reserves. If the investment in each nature reserve is calculated as CNY10 million (about US$1.5 million), the investment in the entire market is over CNY25 billion (about US$3.8 billion). Wuhan Zillion NAS system solution combines with Huawei eLTE broadband and narrowband communication network to form the smart reserve solution. This solution will bring about exemplary effects for the digitalization of reserves and provide advanced IoT information tools for ecosystem and environment protection in China. Based on the smart reserve, this system can be used in markets such as smart environmental protection and smart water, which will bring greater business value.
