120 million! Athletes’ income list: Messi beats Cristiano Ronaldo, which is the only one in the list, with a total score of 20.

Football is the most popular sport in the world, and the income of famous stars is also the top level in the world. Cristiano Ronaldo’s sky-high annual salary of $200 million now also shows the popularity of football, and this popularity is worldwide, so it is easier to increase income. Of course, not every player can enjoy the high salary. Playing football is also a profession, and the income level will be distinguished according to the ability. Therefore, the low-income people in football occupy a large proportion, so the gap between the rich and the poor of athletes is still very large.

Recently, Sportico, a sports business media, published a set of information. In 2022, the top 100 athletes in the world earned the highest income. Among them, football, as the most popular sport, occupied 12 places in the top 100, and basketball, one of the three big balls, also occupied a large proportion.

Among the top 10 sports athletes, there are 3 football players, all of whom are in the top 5. Messi’s salary of $72 million plus business endorsement of $50 million, with a total income of $122 million, ranks second. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has not yet moved to a local Saudi team, ranks third with a total income of $115 million. In 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo’s annual salary will reach $200 million, and his total income will rise sharply.

Neymar ranks fourth with a revenue of $103 million, and the top four football players occupy three seats, which proves that football stars have higher commercial value and football is more popular. Other top 100 footballers included Mbappé (US$ 254.88 million), Bell (US$ 304.33 million), Azar (US$ 413.79 million), Iniesta (US$ 533.50 million), Salah (US$ 573.42 million) and Levan (US$ 633.00 million).

In 2022, the American basketball player James ranked first in terms of athletes’ income. Although his annual salary was only $36.9 million, only half of that of Messi last year, his commercial contracts were as high as $90 million, and the commercial contracts were generally more and more, so James’ income was also increasing, making him a unique player in the world sports world.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s income is also unique in football. Even at the age of 38 or 36, they are still the most attractive players in football. Mbappé, of course, because of his age advantage, has the meaning of catching up with others. The total annual salary of Mbappé’s contract can reach 200 million, but it includes signing fee, loyalty bonus and so on, so it is not included in the list. However, if Mbappé wants to achieve the success of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, it still needs to maintain a long-term and stable state. Of course, Messi is a well-deserved king, both in honor and income, especially after winning the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 championship.

IOT Card and Industry 4.0: The Future Trend of Intelligent Manufacturing

In recent years, with the rapid development of Internet of Things technology, IOT card has become a topic of great concern. As a special SIM card, IOT card can transform various items into IOT devices that can be connected to the Internet, giving them the ability of wireless communication. In this paper, we will discuss the reasons why IOT card is a hot topic, as well as its application and development trend.

First, why has the IOT card become a hot topic?

IOT card has become a hot topic for the following reasons:

The rise of smart home: With the gradual popularization of the concept of smart home, people’s demand for smart home equipment is also growing. IOT card can connect smart home devices with the Internet, thus realizing remote control and data sharing, which greatly facilitates people’s lives.

Application expansion of Internet of Things: Internet of Things technology has been more and more widely used in smart cities, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent transportation and other fields, and the IOT card, as an important part of Internet of Things equipment, has attracted more attention.

Advantages of low cost and power consumption: IOT card adopts low-power wide area network technology (LPWAN), which has the advantages of low cost, low power consumption, low bandwidth and long-distance transmission. This means that IOT cards can be applied to a wider range of fields and further promote the development of the Internet of Things.

Second, the application of IOT card

The application scope of IOT card is very wide, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Smart home: IOT card can connect all kinds of smart home devices to the Internet, such as smart door locks, smart lighting, smart home appliances and so on. These devices can realize remote control and data sharing through the Internet, which is convenient for people’s lives.

Smart city: IOT card can connect all kinds of devices in the city to the Internet, such as smart bus, smart parking, smart street lamps and so on. These devices can realize intelligent management through the Internet, and improve the service level of the city and the quality of life of residents.

Intelligent medical care: IOT card can connect all kinds of medical equipment to the Internet, such as telemedicine and health monitoring. These devices can be implemented through the Internet.

Realistic on-site monitoring, telemedicine, etc., to improve the efficiency and quality of medical services.

Intelligent transportation: IOT cards can connect transportation equipment to the Internet, such as intelligent vehicles and intelligent traffic lights. These devices can realize intelligent management through the Internet and improve traffic efficiency and safety.

Intelligent manufacturing: IOT card can connect industrial equipment to the Internet, realize intelligent management of industrial equipment, and improve production efficiency and quality.

Third, the development trend of IOT card

The future development trends of IOT cards mainly include the following points:

Large-scale application: With the gradual popularization of Internet of Things technology, IOT cards will be more widely used, which will further promote the development of Internet of Things.

Industry consolidation: The industrial chain of IOT cards will be gradually integrated, and enterprises in different links will cooperate more closely, thus realizing the standardization and scale of IOT card production.

Improvement of low-power technology: the core technology of IOT card is low-power technology, and the future IOT card will pay more attention to the improvement and application of low-power technology.

Improvement of security: With the increasing application of IOT cards, the security of IOT cards will become an important issue. In the future, the IOT card will strengthen the security guarantee and improve the trust and satisfaction of users.

The combination of AI and IOT card: The combination of artificial intelligence and IOT card will bring more innovative applications, thus further promoting the development of IOT technology.

IV. Conclusion

In a word, as a key component of the Internet of Things, IOT card has a wide range of application scenarios and broad development prospects. With the continuous development of technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, I believe that IOT cards will be more widely used in smart homes, smart cities, smart medical care, intelligent transportation, intelligent manufacturing and other fields in the future. At the same time, the industry consolidation of IOT card, the improvement of low-power technology, the improvement of security and the combination with artificial intelligence will also become important trends in the future development of IOT card.
