Technology For Market HUAWEI 5G Overseas Break

Although the final version of the 5G standard will have to wait until 2020, the global commercial footprint has started in 2019, and all countries are competing to announce the 5G commercial network for a new round of technological arms race.

In October 15th, on HUAWEI's 2019 Globe Mobile Broadband Forum, HUAWEI vice chairman Hu Houkun said: "at present, 40 operators have released the 5G network. By the end of this year, there will be more than 60 5G commercial networks, which are spread all over the world. At the end of the year, as of the end of September, there were more than 136 terminals, including CPE, mobile phones and so on.

At the forum, Yang Chaobin, President of HUAWEI 5G product line, told reporters of the twenty-first Century economic report that at present, HUAWEI's 5G commercial contract has reached more than 60, and the number of shipments has reached 400 thousand modules, and 32 of the more than 60 contracts come from Europe.

Now, in the hinterland of Europe, HUAWEI is once again disclosing the new 5G performance. It also co operates with China Mobile, Sunrise, Vodafone, Zhenhua heavy industries and other industrial chain partners to demonstrate 5G's application case.

In the face of the US technology blockade, HUAWEI's 5G business is opening up a new situation. The European market is also expanding. The 5G products without 5G components have been shipped.

Recently, HUAWEI founder Ren Zhengfei said in an interview with the media that HUAWEI's "hole" from 5G to the core network has been fully filled. "From the 5G to the core network, a series of products has not been affected by the US. Basically, HUAWEI did it on its own. But this is not our purpose, it is only a means of this period. Our aim is to provide advanced services for mankind in the rational division of labor in globalization.

Business prospects and challenges

In Ren Zhengfei's view, 5G is an important tool for the future. "The emerging technology in the future should be intelligent computing, from intelligent computing to artificial intelligence. 5G is just a supporting platform to support AI to realize a platform with low latency and high bandwidth.

And this basic platform plays a vital role. Globally, the 5G network is spreading rapidly. It takes only one year to enter the commercial scale.

Take communications activist Korea as an example, as the first country to launch 5G business, it has ushered in the improvement of users. After 6 months of commercial development, the 5G network in Korea has developed 3 million 500 thousand users. The amount of data running on this network is also growing rapidly, and the data traffic has increased by 3 times. Now it has reached the consumption of 1.3GB per person.

These new businesses bring about not only traffic growth, but also the growth of operators' revenue. Take an operator in South Korea as an example, the proportion of high-end users increased from 3.1% to 5.3% after 3 months of 5G launch.

Yang Chaobin also predicted: "5G has begun to scale business this year. We believe that next year, the number of 5G terminals will exceed 500, and 5G users will be over 200 million next year, and will exceed 5 hundred million next year."

At the same time, the application of vertical industry is increasing rapidly. Although the killer application has not yet appeared, everyone's vision of 5G's future is growing.

At the forum, HUAWEI showed the latest 5G technology solutions, commercial cases, and rich applications for 2C, 2H and 2B, including 5G cloud AR/VR, 5G 8K live broadcast, 5G cloud games, 5G machine vision, 5G remote control and so on.

Turning to the challenge of accelerating 5G development, Hu Houkun pointed out that the government needs to promote a more active regulatory policy with a pragmatic attitude. First of all, the rational planning and allocation of spectrum resources is very important for the development of 5G industry. However, the current supply and price of 5G spectrum are challenging. On the basis of ensuring adequate spectrum supply, regulatory authorities can further consider adopting flexible pricing mode to reduce the initial investment of 5G network operators. To meet the demand of spectrum in the next 5-10 years, the government needs to prepare for the planning of the new 5G spectrum, such as the 6GHz band.

In addition, the cost of the current site resources is still high, and the supply is insufficient. Regulatory agencies need to take various positive measures to improve the current situation. For example, new, open and shared more public infrastructure, and provide corresponding guidance norms. The experience of some governments is worth learning. For example, the Shanghai municipal government will provide 30 thousand site resources through the transformation and construction of the social pole of the 500 km road, which is equivalent to 75% of the total number of Shanghai sites. In Europe, government departments and operators have defined the requirements of 5G site construction for public infrastructure and identified the sharing possibilities of these facilities.

Outside the spectrum and the site, Hu Houkun also stressed the need to establish cross industry ecological cooperation so as to jointly find a business development mode and business model suitable for 5G.

A correspondent told the twenty-first Century business reporter: "on the whole, 5G has been put into operation at the technical level, but large-scale commercial business still needs to wait. The competition of 5G is a battleground in the great power competition. 4G has promoted the progress of productive forces, such as the development of the format, the birth of millet and the US corps, and the upgrading of Ali and Tencent. The big companies in the 5G era will continue to develop. In the era of 5G, the efficiency of the whole society has been improved. HUAWEI's Hong Meng, Google's fuchsia and German industrial 4 will promote the technological progress of productivity. "

Alliance and breaking up

The development of 5G is in full swing. From 5G, mobile communication has entered a new stage, and now it belongs to the stage of infrastructure construction. It is worth noting that the intergenerational substitution between 4G and 5G is not a smooth transition from 3G to 4G. Nor can 5G be extended as a mobile Internet. 5G will grow new species.

AI is equivalent to inventing computers, and 5G is the infrastructure for inventing computers. 5G is a key to enter the new era, and this key should be held in hand.

However, for HUAWEI, it is facing a complicated situation. The blockade of the United States has brought many fluctuations. The chess game of HUAWEI is a mess and full of uncertainty.

Next, how does HUAWEI open up a new situation?

Although Ren Zhengfei emphasized that 5G has gone to the core network industry, HUAWEI has no need for American components at all. But cooperation and openness remain the main theme of HUAWEI.

On the one hand, HUAWEI continued to maintain close cooperation with partners such as global carriers. In October 14th, Swiss operator Sunrise and HUAWEI jointly established the first European 5G joint innovation center.

Yang Chaobin told reporters: "although Switzerland has strict power limitations, HUAWEI and Sunrise have achieved 5G network coverage in more than 300 towns across Switzerland through the deployment of products including Super BladeSite, Massive MIMO and Book RRU. HUAWEI Massive MIMO products utilize the C-band spectrum of Sunrise 100M, enabling its 5G single user rate to reach 2Gbps, and its capacity reaches 20-30 times that of 4G.

For example, Zhenhua heavy industries, China Mobile, Vodafone and HUAWEI jointly released the "5G wisdom port white paper" to speed up the landing of 5G in port automation and intelligent construction.

On the other hand, HUAWEI will continue to build and open the ecosystem, including Ren Zhengfei's willingness to sell HUAWEI's 5G technology. Obviously, it is a clever move to exchange technology for the market.

Ren Zhengfei said to the media: "first, we are willing to follow the International Convention FRAND principle, and license the 5G patent to the US company in a fair and non discriminatory manner. Second, 5G proprietary technology, including the complete 5G full network technology, completely and unreservedly authorized the US Department, so that the United States, Europe and Chinese companies start at the same time and continue to compete in the new technology. Third, the United States can choose the 5G base station which is the main body of the United States general chip, or choose the way of" American general chip + HUAWEI chip ". If we need 5G chip technology, we can also transfer the license.

Recently, good news came from the European market. It is learnt that Germany has finalized the 5G mobile network construction regulations and will not exclude HUAWEI from China. German operators are customers of HUAWEI. They warn that banning HUAWEI will delay the deployment of 5G network for several years and increase the cost of billions of dollars. It can be seen that in the European market, HUAWEI's 5G business is developing rapidly, and has already cooperated in countries such as Britain, France, Switzerland and Italy.
