物聯(lián)網(wǎng)之城(wùliánwǎng zhīchéng): City of internet of things

Wuxi National Sensing Innovation Demonstration Park in East China's Jiangsu province is cooperating with Aliyun, the cloud-computing arm of the e-commerce giant Alibaba, to build the city as an internet of things.

Machine-to-machine communication built on cloud computing and networks will be used to interconnect things embedded with electronics, software, sensors and actuators in order to shape the city into an internet of things.

Wuxi National Sensing Innovation Demonstration Park is the core demonstration zone approved by the State Council, China's Cabinet, to explore the technology and application of the internet of things. There are about 2,000 enterprises and more than 150,000 employees involved in the internet of things in Wuxi.

According to their strategic cooperation agreement, Aliyun will provide technology and cloud computing services so the demonstration park can accelerate the application and commercialization of the internet of things.
