With the continuous deepening of digitalization and intelligence, intelligent networked vehicles have become an important development direction of the global automotive industry. The strategic cooperation between ZTE and BGI BeiDou is a model of the deep integration of 5G communication technology and Beidou satellite navigation technology, injecting new momentum into the intelligent networked vehicle industry. China Exportsemi will discuss the far-reaching impact of this cooperation on the intelligent networked vehicle industry from the perspectives of technological innovation, market potential, safety and future development.
1. Technology Convergence: Collaborative Innovation of 5G and BeiDou
5G communication technology and Beidou satellite navigation technology are the two core pillars of the development of modern intelligent networked vehicles. The high-speed, low-latency, and high-bandwidth data transmission capabilities provided by 5G enable the Internet of Vehicles to communicate in real time in complex traffic scenarios. The Beidou system provides irreplaceable navigation support for autonomous vehicles with centimeter-level or even millimeter-level high-precision positioning.
The cooperation between ZTE and BGI Beidou will deeply integrate these two key technologies. Specifically, the 5G network supports the efficient transmission of massive data, such as vehicle sensor information and real-time traffic data. The Beidou system provides accurate navigation and path planning for vehicles through its high-precision positioning capabilities. This kind of technology synergistically solves the problems of "high data delay" and "large positioning error" in the traditional Internet of Vehicles system.
For example, according to ZTE's technical white paper, the intelligent networked vehicle system based on 5G+Beidou can reduce the communication delay of the vehicle to the millisecond level, improve the positioning accuracy to sub-meter level, and significantly enhance the safety and stability of autonomous driving.
2. Market potential: rapid growth of 100 billion scale
The rapid expansion of the ICV market provides a broad business prospect for this cooperation. According to the White Paper on the Development of China's Intelligent Connected Vehicle Industry, the market size of China's intelligent networked vehicle industry has reached 598.8 billion yuan in 2022, with an average annual compound growth rate of more than 50%. By 2025, the market penetration rate of intelligent networked vehicles is expected to exceed 40%, and the industry scale is expected to exceed 1.5 trillion yuan.
In addition, the convergence of new energy vehicles and intelligent connected technologies has catalyzed the growth of this market. For example, in autonomous driving scenarios, 5G+Beidou technology can achieve intelligent obstacle avoidance and efficient energy management, thereby improving the economy and user experience of new energy vehicles. This is also further driving the market penetration growth of intelligent and connected vehicles.
The cooperation between ZTE and BGI Beidou is precisely to seize this historic opportunity and seize the market opportunity with the help of 5G + Beidou's technical advantages.
3. Security assurance: the foundation of the digital ecosystem
While promoting the development of technology and market, safety is a core issue that cannot be ignored by intelligent networked vehicles. As ICVs need to process massive amounts of data, including users' personal privacy information and key traffic operation data, their security is directly related to user trust and the sustainable development of the industry.
ZTE and BGI Beidou have carried out in-depth cooperation in security, and built a "Internet of Vehicles Security Base" with independent intellectual property rights. The base integrates multiple security technologies such as communication encryption, anti-counterfeit verification, and anomaly detection. According to ZTE's experimental data, the intelligent network system based on the security base can effectively reduce the risk of network attacks and improve the stability of the system.
For example, in the case of autonomous driving, the safety base can reduce the identification time of potential cyber attacks to less than one second by monitoring the data link in real time, thus maximizing driving safety.
4. Industry Convergence: The Future of Vehicle-Road-Cloud Integration
The application scenarios of intelligent networked vehicles far exceed the scope of traditional automobiles and are developing in the direction of vehicle-road-cloud integration. Vehicle-road-cloud integration connects vehicles, road infrastructure, and cloud computing platforms to achieve intelligent management of all scenarios.
The 5G+ Beidou technology in this cooperation plays a particularly prominent role in the integration of vehicles, roads and clouds. For example, by deploying edge computing nodes, 5G networks can process traffic data locally in real time, thereby reducing the pressure on cloud computing. Beidou Navigation provides high-precision road condition monitoring and emergency command support for intelligent transportation systems.
According to the "China Intelligent Transportation Development Report", the national intelligent transportation market will exceed 300 billion yuan in 2022, and the average annual growth rate will remain above 15% in the future. The comprehensive promotion of the vehicle-road-cloud integration model will open up more application space for intelligent networked vehicles.
5. Practical application: 5G + Beidou landing case
At present, 5G+Beidou technology has shown initial results in some pilot projects. For example, in the smart transportation pilot zone in Chongqing, ZTE and BGI Beidou jointly deployed the 5G+Beidou intelligent transportation system. The system can realize the precise scheduling and safe passage of unmanned vehicles through high-precision positioning and real-time data interaction.
Experimental data shows that the system has reduced the average time it takes for vehicles to pass through intersections by 25 percent, reduced the traffic accident rate by about 30 percent, and significantly improved the efficiency of urban traffic.

6. Future outlook: Reshaping the global intelligent transportation landscape
With the continuous breakthrough of technology and the maturity of business models, 5G + Beidou technology will further promote the large-scale popularization of intelligent networked vehicles. It is estimated that by 2030, the scale of China's intelligent networked vehicle industry may exceed 2 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 50% of the global market.
At the same time, this technology convergence model is also expected to become a benchmark for the global intelligent transportation system and provide technical reference for other countries. For example, the global service capabilities and leading edge of 5G technology of the Beidou system will help Chinese enterprises win more competitiveness in the international market.
7. Conclusion
The cooperation between ZTE and BGI is not only a manifestation of technological innovation, but also an important milestone in industrial upgrading and security development. By integrating the technological advantages of 5G communication and Beidou navigation, this cooperation will promote the concept of intelligent networked vehicles to popularization, and inject new momentum into the intelligent transportation industry.
In the future, we look forward to the application of this technology in a wider range of scenarios, so as to achieve a comprehensive upgrade of intelligent transportation and contribute Chinese solutions to the construction of global intelligent transportation.
