Boasting a strong industrial base for the internet of things and an advanced information network, Wuxi started working on its IoV sector in 2016, establishing a comprehensive testing base for unmanned vehicles and the IoV.

In 2018, the first city-level IoV LTE-V2X (vehicle-to-everything) application demonstration area was built in Wuxi. Over the past two years, Wuxi has attracted over 80 enterprises working on the IoV and intelligent internet-connected vehicles, including Beijing-based IoV platform operator SiRun.

Officials said that by the end of this year, the city will finish transformation and upgrading of infrastructure at 600 intersections, covering an area of 350 square kilometers.

Wuxi Vice-Mayor Gao Yaguang said that the IoV is the specific application of the internet of things (IoT) technology in smart transportation. It is an important part of Wuxi's IoT industrial development and could also help lay a solid foundation for the construction of a smart city.

Gao added that Wuxi will continue to provide favorable policies and perfect its business environment to attract IoV enterprises to the city.
