Wuxi became the first prefecture-level city of the country to achieve full coverage of NB-IoT, a cellular-based narrowband Internet of Things (IoT). It is also the only Asian city recognized in the IEEE Smart City Initiative, which aims to develop a worldwide network of cities, sharing their experience and organizing knowledge dissemination in their respective ecosystems.
The city has held the WIOT for five sessions since 2016, which facilitated the launch of nearly 800 projects and the investment into IoT of 200 billion yuan.
