From August 3rd to 7th, the 3rd Asia-Pacific International Intelligent Equipment Expo (APIE2022) was held in Qingdao. As the largest intelligent manufacturing event in the Asia-Pacific region, APIE2022 focused on intelligent manufacturing, bringing together multiple sectors such as digital factories, industrial internet, and industrial automation, attracting more than 2,000 industrial equipment manufacturers to participate.

As a major domestic communication equipment manufacturer and solution provider, Far East Communications actively deployed in the industrial internet field, showcasing its edge IoT and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) related products and solutions at APIE2022, demonstrating the latest achievements for the next generation of industrial networks.

Edge IoT

The 5G intelligent edge node Edge-Box and IoT platform Doph®DEP-IoT showcased at this expo are new-generation edge IoT products developed by Far East Communications specifically for the industrial field.

Currently, industrial enterprises often encounter difficulties in the process of digital transformation, such as a wide variety of equipment types, diverse interface forms, and a variety of communication protocols. Far East Communications' 5G intelligent edge node Edge-Box, with its rich peripheral interfaces, multiple network access methods such as 4G/5G, and support for mainstream industrial protocols, can provide readily available network access services for industrial sites. Coupled with the IoT platform Doph®DEP-IoT, it can easily upload collected data to the cloud, providing effective data support for enterprise digital transformation.

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)

Under the industrial internet architecture, the network, as the basic support, needs to have stronger interconnection, high-quality transmission, and intelligent operation and maintenance capabilities. TSN technology, as the next-generation industrial network evolution direction, has become a consensus in the industry. Far East Communications keeps up with technological development trends, continuously invests in TSN core technologies, and has launched self-developed TSN switches and TSN gateways, and showcased a TSN demonstration system based on these products at this expo.

In traditional industrial networks, media streams, control streams, and background streams require multiple networks such as standard Ethernet, industrial Ethernet, and dedicated buses. Far East Communications' TSN demonstration system, based on intelligent traffic scheduling and highly reliable transmission technologies, achieves single-network carrying of three service streams, ensuring accurate and reliable transmission of control streams and non-interference between the three service streams, demonstrating the possibility of high-quality shared network carrying, simple and low-cost network deployment, and interoperability between different services.

At the same time, Far East Communications also brought a full range of industrial Ethernet switches in various forms from the access layer to the aggregation layer, with features such as one-click ring network and one-click configuration, which attracted widespread attention from attendees.

Focusing on industrial IoT, empowering industry development! In the future, Far East Communications will be committed to building a punctual, accurate, and interoperable new generation of industrial networks, providing high-quality industrial IoT products and industrial digital "cloud, network, edge, and end" overall solutions for customers in industries such as transportation, energy, and intelligent manufacturing, providing strong impetus for enterprise digital transformation!
