The number of global IoT connections is growing rapidly, and the company is in the lead in module shipments. The increase in smart penetration has led to the rapid growth of global consumption IoT and industrial IoT connections, and the trend of "connection of everything" in the 5G era will accelerate. According to TechnoSystems's forecast, global cellular module shipments will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 15% from 2019 to 2022. The company acquires Longshang Technology and Xuntong, establishing a leading position in global module shipments, which is conducive to mastering the flow entrance in the Internet of things era, ploughing the stock market, and sharing the incremental market. On the other hand, with the help of cloud modules to help customers "click on the cloud", edge computing terminals give end-to-side intelligence, AIoT is beginning to take shape.
To create an enabling cloud platform, connect to the Internet first and then add value. The platform layer and application layer of the Internet of things have high market value, and the giants are racing around the land one after another. The company teamed up with IoT to set up the Rihai Ella card platform, PaaS to solve user development problems, SaaS to solve small B empowerment problems, the Internet of things as a whole has strong ability to solve. Through the comprehensive layout of end, cloud and usage, the company will open up a variety of profit models of 2B, 2C, 2T and 2G, and quickly accumulate the number of connections, which is expected to become the basis of subsequent value-added. With the continuous decline of policy dividends, China's smart city projects have blossomed at many points, and the company's strategic cooperation between the three major operators and Ping An Insurance, as enabling enterprises, to share the market and channels, and the frequent landing of Wisdom projects, smart integration and smart terminal business is expected to grow at a high speed in 2019.
Facing the 5G layout, there is still something to be done for the "Old Rihai" business. The company has a leading domestic market share of communication equipment products and maintains a long-term cooperative relationship with operators and equipment manufacturers. Facing the 5G era, the company streamlined its product structure, stripped off its loss-making business, improved its profitability, accelerated the intelligent upgrading of communication equipment products, and raised its gross profit margin by 2.29pct in 2018 compared with the same period last year. At the same time, the company participates in Bai Cai Bang's strategic layout of small base stations and has a large market space in the future. 2019 into the first year of 5G, operators' capital expenditure hit bottom and rebound will lead to a pick-up in the communication network technology service market. Rihai Tongfu has a leading position in China, and has recently won bids for major general service projects such as Guangdong Unicom, Chongqing Unicom and China Mobile Limited, maintaining a leading position in comprehensive service capacity.
