The Development Trend of Intelligent Gateway

Intelligent gateway system function

The system function of the intelligent gateway is mainly composed of five modules: access, core, management, service and intelligent functions.

1. Access: realize the connection between the broadband customer network and the telecommunication network, and transmit network data;

2. Core: Implement QoS functions, automatic address acquisition, NAT processing, security protection, etc.

3. Management: It is divided into local management and remote management functions. Local management implements local login configuration and management. Remote management implements functions such as zero configuration, tracking monitoring, and API permissions of the remote management platform to the intelligent gateway.

4. Service: Implement the basic functions built into the gateway and the value-added services of the operators;

5. Intelligent function: Open the API interface provided by the operating system to develop application plug-ins to realize intelligent value-added services.

Intelligent gateway presents three major development trends

With the rapid development of smart homes, more and more terminal electronic products can access the network. The intelligent gateway is a unified aggregation node for broadband traffic. It can sense, differentiate and control different service flows and become a management platform for intensive services. It is the connection and control center for smart home devices and security sensors, and will become the entrance to big data management in the future. The development of intelligent gateways in the future is showing the following three major trends.

Standardization

An important part of the IEC committee’s development of an international standard market promotion plan is to promote the use of IEC standards in member states and increase the standard usage rate. Externally, the reference to international standards can improve our understanding of international standardization trends, and help to promote independent standards that meet the needs of the international market. Internally, standardization can enhance device interoperability, improve compatibility between different device nodes, and reduce network optimization costs.

2. Hardware optimization

The cross-application of technology promotes the diversification of broadband development and promotes the multifunctional integration of intelligent gateways. In order to improve the function and performance of the device, the low-performance devices that are put together by different function chips will not meet the business and service needs, and will be quickly eliminated by the market. The versatile smart gateway chip will optimize and integrate different functions.

3. Functional integration

The intelligent gateway will further integrate IoT technologies such as automation control systems, computer network systems and network communication technologies, and continuously integrate various types of home intelligent terminals to realize the network and intelligence of all kinds of home intelligent terminals. Future home Internet of Things can involve intelligent lighting, home appliance control, environmental monitoring, audio-visual entertainment, health management, etc., to maximize the connection of people, homes, and objects.

With the support and promotion of national policies, the intelligent gateway simplifies the design of network nodes by integrating various services and interfaces, and externally accesses the Internet of Things through the cloud, and internally uses the intelligent home gateway to create an ecosystem with characteristics of broadcasting and television networks, providing users with Multi-terminal, multi-access and multi-platform integrated solutions will be the future development trend.

With the rapid development of triple play and broadband, the market competition of intelligent gateways is fierce, and the development tends to be diversified and standardized. It is expected that intelligent gateways will integrate new technologies, solve problems, provide more convenience for users’ lives, and enrich users’ lives and work while integrating existing resources.
