2023年世界移动通信大会（MWC 2023）于3月2日落下帷幕。参与这次展会的，除了华为、荣耀、小米等以智能终端为主的全球移动互联网企业，还有诸多和移动通讯行业相关的中国厂商。

全球化1OT（物联网）开发平台服务商涂鸦（tuya）在MWC 2023上重点展示了三款创新“爆品”：电动滑板车Sharp Scooter EM-KS1、DELIVERIES Uark Mini智能配送箱、“功能型耳机”——OTC助听器（辅听耳机）。展会现场的涂鸦工作人员告诉霞光社，作为IOT云平台领域的领跑者，涂鸦在海外的主要市场集中在发达国家和地区，除了传统的北美区域外，目前也正在积极向西欧、中欧等具有商业前景的地区拓展；除了单纯出产联网模组外，国内智能硬件出海也是涂鸦的一项核心业务。

“在全场景的IOT领域，可以说涂鸦没有对手；但也可以说，包括智能灯具、智能门锁、智能恒温器等在内的所有智能家居产品都是我们的对手。”涂鸦工作人员对霞光社说。

根据物联网分析公司 Berg Insight 的一份研究报告显示，2021 年欧洲和北美的智能家居数量达到 1.05 亿个。2021年，北美智能家居数量同比增长13.0%，预计未来几年市场将继续强劲增长。Berg Insight 估计，到 2026 年，北美约有 7460 万户家庭将是智能的，相当于该地区所有家庭的 50%。在市场渗透率方面，欧洲市场落后于北美，预计到 2026 年底，该地区的安装基数将达到约 1 亿个家庭，市场渗透率为 42%。在北美和欧洲，IOT云平台仍有着广阔的发展前景。

总公司位于中国杭州的高性能机器人开发商宇树科技也参与了此次MWC 2023的展出。

宇树科技成立于2016年8月，是国内研发、生产和销售消费级、行业级高性能四足机器人、灵巧六轴机械臂的新锐创企，也是全球最早一批实现四足机器人商业化的公司之一。在场的工作人员告诉霞光社，宇树科技一年可售出数千台智能机器人，产品销往全球市场，顾客可用智能机器人进行演出表演、编程教育、流水线巡检、危险场景作业等，其研发能力和量产能力在四足机器人领域处于全球领先地位。

事实上，消除数字鸿沟也是本届MWC的主要议题之一，围绕这一议题，中国移动通信厂商贡献了多种解决方案。

华为展出了其为旗下所有产品所打造出的无障碍科技功能体系。围绕着这些消费类电子产品所搭建的兼容、高效的HarmonyOS鸿蒙操作系统，拥有AI字幕、屏幕朗读、更大字体等功能，切实为障碍人群带来了便利，得到了行业的认可。

中国联通以“联通世界，美好智慧生活”为主题，向世界展出其在乡村信息高速网络建设中的方案与成果。目前，中国联通已经实现行政村数移网覆盖率达95%，建设数字乡村平台服务行政村数超25万村。以平台+云网+X模式推动农村地区数字服务升级，融合云网端数能力打造智慧农业解决方案助力乡村振兴。

几乎所有参展的中国企业都认为，5G依旧是未来移动通信行业发展的主题与趋势。全球移动通信系统协会（GSMA）表示，到2022年底，全球第五代通信技术（5G）连接用户已超10亿，今年将增至约15亿，到2025年底将达到20亿。到2029年，5G将超过4G，成为全球主导的移动通信技术。自由视角视频、企业云化、移动专网、无源物联网、融合感知通信等都将在5G的推动下快速发展。

我们也期待着，中国移动通信企业在5G新时代，释放更多的能量与活力，为所有行业的数字化转型赋能，为下一代互联互通奠定坚实基础。

MWC 2023: Chinese Electronics Companies Showcase IoT and Promote 5G

MWC 2023 came to an end on March 2. Global consumer electronics companies showcased their products at the event, including Huawei, Honor, Xiaomi, and other Chinese companies in the mobile communication industry.

Tuya Smart

Tuya Smart, a global IoT (Internet of Things) development platform provider, highlighted three innovative products at MWC 2023: the Sharp Scooter EM-KS1, the DELIVERIES Uark Mini smart delivery box, and OTC (over the counter) earphones. Tuya staff at the exhibition booth noted that, as a leader in the IoT field, Tuya's global expansion is concentrated in developed countries and regions. In addition to the North American region, it is also actively expanding to Western Europe, Central Europe, and other areas with commercial prospects. Tuya's core businesses encompass network module production and intelligent hardware exports.

"Tuya is a leading company in the IoT field. However, in the field of smart home appliances, including smart lamps, smart door locks, and smart thermostats, we face tough competition," said a Tuya staff member.

According to a research report by Berg Insight, an IoT analysis company, the number of smart home appliances in Europe and North America reached 105 million in 2021. That year, smart home appliances in North America increased by 13.0% year-over-year. Continued market growth is expected over the next few years. Berg Insight estimated that about 74.6 million households in North America will have smart home appliances by 2026, equivalent to 50% of all households on the continent. In terms of market penetration, the European market lags behind North America. It is estimated that by the end of 2026, about 100 million households will use smart home appliances. In North America and Europe, IoT platforms continue to have wide development prospects.

Fiberhome

Fiberhome, an internationally renowned provider of communication equipment and solutions, exhibited their achievements in the mobile communication field at MWC 2023. Its staff described Fiberhome's commitment to providing information technology solutions for third world countries, with industrial bases in Southeast Asia and North Africa. Its products and services cover more than 70 countries around the world, helping operators build better, faster, and stronger digital networks.

Bridging the Digital Divide

"Bridging the digital divide" was one of the main themes of MWC 2023. Chinese mobile communication companies have contributed to a variety of solutions for the challenge.

Huawei exhibited its barrier-free technology system. The compatible and efficient HarmonyOS built around its consumer electronic products features AI subtitles, larger fonts, text-to-voice reading, and other functions aimed at greater accessibility and convenience for people with disabilities.

Another theme was "Connecting the world, living a better and smarter life." Telecom carrier China Unicom exhibited its plans and achievements in high-speed information network construction and expansion in rural areas. At present, China Unicom has enabled internet connectivity in 95% of villages in China and built digital management platforms for more than 250,000 villages.

Nearly all Chinese companies at the exhibition believe that 5G continues to be the future of the mobile communication industry. According to the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA), as of 2022, over one billion people around the world are connected by 5G, which will increase to about 1.5 billion this year and reach two billion by the end of 2025. By 2029, 5G will surpass 4G to become the world's leading mobile communication technology. Holographic videos, enterprise cloud services, private mobile networks, passive IoT technologies, and integrated sensing and communication technologies will all develop rapidly under the impetus of 5G.
