With the rapid development of IoT technology, communication protocols, which serve as the bridge between devices and networks, are becoming increasingly important. At the 2024 Greater Bay Area Digital Energy Industry Development Summit (and the 2024 Shenzhen International Sensor and Application Technology Exhibition), Ana Hu, Chief Editor of China exportsemi net, had the pleasure of inviting Mr. Li Mingdong, Vice President of Chongqing Ucchip Information Technology Co., Ltd., to showcase the company's latest achievements in the IoT field—the WloTa chip. They engaged in an in-depth discussion about its disruptive potential in communication protocols.
The Innovation Journey of UCchip
As a leading chip design company in China, UCchip has been committed to independent research and development. Its product line spans multiple fields, from RFID chips to 4G chips. The company's research and development strengths are evident not only in its hardware but also in its comprehensive self-developed software protocol stack. This gives Ucchip significant influence in IoT communication protocols.

WloTa Chip: Independent R&D Communication Protocal
The WloTa chip is a communication protocol independently developed by UCchip, with the full name Wide Range Internet of Things. The innovation of this protocol lies in its support for both asynchronous and synchronous communication, effectively addressing the connection instability issues that traditional WiFi and other protocols experience when the number of users increases.
Advance Technology and Market Potential
Mr. Li Mingdong pointed out that the two major advantages of the WloTa chip are its completely independent IP core and its support for high-capacity, high-concurrency states. These technical characteristics make the WloTa chip highly promising in the field of the Internet of Things. From streetlight control in smart cities and machinery monitoring in smart factories to sports projects in the education sector, the WloTa chip can provide stable and reliable communication support.

Practical application case analysis
In the field of education, the rope skipping counting solution provided by UCchip uses a large screen to uniformly control the time, ensuring the fairness of sports tests. In the construction of smart cities, the wide coverage and high concurrent processing capabilities of the WloTa chip enable one gateway to control an area of more than 600 meters, greatly improving communication efficiency.
R&D speed: another trump card of UCchip
In addition to technological innovation, UCchip's rapid R&D capabilities are also impressive. The company can quickly customize a variety of chip solutions including RFID, WloTa, 2G, 4G, Beidou positioning, etc. according to customer needs, which is undoubtedly an important competitive advantage in the current rapidly developing Internet of Things market.
Cooperation and development: UCchip’s 2024 plan
Looking ahead, Mr. Li Mingdong said that UCchip will continue to deepen cooperation with partners in various industries to jointly explore the application possibilities of IoT technology in more fields. The company's plans in autonomous voice, ink screen, and big health indicate that Yuxinwei will have more innovative developments in 2024.
Discussion on the security of WloTa chip
In the development of communication protocols, security is an important aspect that cannot be ignored. Mr. Li Mingdong mentioned that the WloTa chip of UCchip was designed with full consideration of security issues and adopted multi-level security protection measures. From physical password protection to software encryption algorithms, WloTa chips have achieved the ultimate security guarantee. This emphasis on security has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the application of WloTa chips in fields such as finance and government that have extremely high security requirements.
Competition between WloTa chip and international standards
In the context of globalization, the development of any technology is inseparable from its docking with international standards. Although WloTa chip has a leading edge in technology, it will inevitably encounter competition with international standards during its promotion process. Mr. Li Mingdong said that when UCchip developed the WloTa chip, it fully considered the issue of compatibility with international standards. The company actively participates in the formulation of international standards and strives to promote WloTa chips to become an internationally recognized communication protocol.
Ecosystem construction of WloTa chip
A successful communication protocol, in addition to technological leadership, also needs to be supported by a complete ecosystem. UCchip is well aware of this. In the process of promoting WloTa chips, the company actively builds an ecosystem including hardware manufacturers, software developers, service providers, etc. Through cooperation with all parties, we will jointly promote the application of WloTa chips in various fields and form a virtuous ecological cycle.
The future development of WloTa chips
Looking to the future, the application prospects of WloTa chips in the field of Internet of Things are very broad. With the popularization of 5G technology and the continuous maturity of IoT technology, WloTa chips are expected to be widely used in smart homes, smart wearables, smart medical and other fields. At the same time, UCchip will continue to increase investment in research and development, promote the continuous progress of WloTa chip technology, and contribute more Chinese wisdom to the development of the Internet of Things.
Conclusion
The launch of Ucchip WloTa chip is not only a reflection of the company's technological innovation, but also a big step for domestic chips in the field of Internet of Things. Its independently developed communication protocol is expected to subvert the existing communication mode and provide new impetus for the future development of the Internet of Things. With the advent of the 5G era and the continuous maturity of Internet of Things technology, we have reason to expect that UCchip will play a more important role in the development of the digital energy industry and make greater contributions to the development of the Internet of Things industry in China and even the world.
