We will conduct cross-industry integration and innovation to boost ubiquitous IoT solutions and the smart IoT life by jointly working with the China Mobile 5G Joint Innovation Center, and taking full advantage of China Mobile’s vast GSM network and technology leadership in eMTC/NB-IoT.” “The planned field trials with Qualcomm Technologies and Mobike will further expand the applications for LTE IoT (eMTC/NB-IoT) in areas such as smart bike sharing and smart travel. “China Mobile Research Institute has been actively boosting the development of IoT and exploring new IoT business opportunities,” Huang Yuhong, the DGM of China Mobile Research Institute, said. This service will provide operations personnel with smart instructions for the delivery, scheduling, operation, and maintenance of the bikes. The Qualcomm modem will be paired with Qualcomm’s low-power Bluetooth solution for use in the smart Mobike Preferred Location (sMPL) platform to support sub-meter level positioning, helping Mobike monitor the real-time location and overall status of its bikes including quantity, position, and traffic information from different regions. The LTE connectivity and integrated GNSS position-location capability in the MDM9206 LTE modem is designed to help Mobike customers accurately identify an available bike, accelerate the unlock process of the smart lock, and assist with real-time management – while also providing Mobike with continuous monitoring of the bike’s status. The field trials are expected to make use of China Mobile’s 2G/4G multimode network and Mobike’s smart lock, supported by Qualcomm Technologies’ MDM9206 global multimode LTE modem for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Qualcomm is kicking off the first eMTC/NB-IoT/GSM (LTE Cat M1/NB1 and E-GPRS) multimode field trials in China with China Mobile Research Institute (CMRI) and Chinese smart bike sharing company, Mobike.
