Qualcomm has no say in the construction of upstream base stations, but Huawei, Ericsson and Nokia are industry giants, and Huawei's microwave solution is the most advanced 5G solution at present.
In the middle are communication service providers, almost all of which are managed by government departments of various countries, but strictly speaking, their roles are more like investors of the whole network. They spend money on equipment (base stations, antennas, etc.). ), then the terminal is connected and charged again. There is almost no technical difference in this piece.
Then there is the terminal. The core upstream industry of the terminal is the chip industry. In this area, Qualcomm dominates the 4G era, and Huawei can rank in the top five. Then there is 5 g. At present, Huawei's 5G baseband technology ranks first in the world.
At this time, someone asked, why can't Qualcomm build a communication base station with so many 5G patents? There are many patents on 5G, but it is only the sixth in this industry. Not to mention compared with Huawei, even ZTE can ride.
Second, being able to build a terminal chip does not mean being able to build a base station, because these are two different fields. Unfortunately, Qualcomm has been laying out the field of terminal chips, while the field of base stations has basically achieved nothing.
Therefore, from a global perspective, Huawei is the only one that occupies a position in the whole chain and belongs to the leading brother. Then it may be understandable that if the future belongs to the 5G era, it will no longer be a group of European and American companies-Qualcomm, Lucent, Ericsson and so on. -But Huawei.
I have to admire Ren's premonition that one day we will confront the United States when he tried to sell Huawei in 2003 but failed. It is with such awareness and strong sense of urgency that Huawei will stay awake and strive for self-improvement at the same time in order to succeed.
