On August 30, 2022, an important thing happened in OPPO, and the Pantanal system was officially released. When I heard the name of this system, I looked puzzled. What is this thing? This name is so strange that I don't know what it means. So I quickly went to the encyclopedia to look up Pantanal, and I knew what was going on.
Pantanal wetland is the largest wetland in the world at present, with 3,500 species of plants, more than 650 species of birds and more than 400 species of fish, with a total area of 240,000 square kilometers, almost as big as France. It is considered to be the most ecologically rich environmental system in the world, located in South America, with a particularly dense flora and fauna.
As we all know, there are various species in wetlands, such as plants, animals and microorganisms, which together with the environment here constitute a wetland system. For OPPO, it is named Pantanal, which obviously refers to crossing mobile phones, computers, tablets, televisions, automobiles and other devices to become a cross-domain IoT ecosystem, just like this wetland system, which is composed of various environments.
Pantanal will become an open ecosystem composed of manufacturers and equipment.
In fact, Pantanal is not a whim, but a product of OPPO strategic planning.
If you are a big fan of OPPO, you should know that in 2020, a technology transition strategy named "3+N+X" was released, in which "3" is the three core technologies of hardware business, software engineering and service basic content. In the later stage of development, OPPO was gradually recognized. The hardware brings the self-developed image NPU Mariana, and the Mariana Trench is also a physical object. Its depth exceeds 10000 meters, which is considered as the deepest place on the earth. OPPO chose to be named after Mariana, which means that chip manufacturing is on the verge of abyss. In terms of software, it is Pantanal system. I have to say that OPPO really has a set of names.
It is reported that Pantanal is an intelligent cross-terminal system developed by OPPO, which expands the intelligent capability of ColorOS operating system, and its importance can be imagined. OPPO himself said that "Pantanal system is the software foundation to realize the integration of all things".
There has always been a problem about the Internet of Everything. The continuous development of service technology accelerates the better and faster integration of the physical world and the digital world, but it also has great disadvantages. Different devices and systems don't seem so friendly. How to break the restrictions in reality is the key point, which involves too much content, including software level, hardware level and social level. From this perspective, Pantanal seems to be the solution given by OPPO.
OPPO's Pantanal system is to submit an answer sheet that is the same as the world's largest wetland. Like this wetland system, it has a completely open and inclusive attitude, attracting developers from all over the world to join this system.
Moreover, according to the idea of OPPO, it is definitely hoped that through the diversity and adaptability of Pantanal system, various boundaries between various devices will be broken, more devices will be connected with the system, and users will be provided with a more perfect one-stop service to create a more advanced Internet of Things ecosystem.
Personally, I am very optimistic about this practice of OPPO. After all, technology will continue to develop. I don't know what kind of ecosystem the more open Pannatal ecology can bring to the industry.
