In the 3G network and 4G network boom, China is at best a late participant. In the field of 5G network, China has transformed and become a leader in technological upgrading.
With the joint efforts of many domestic companies represented by Huawei, our country has mastered the core technology of 5G networks and firmly holds many patented technologies in its hands. This has made many Chinese people doubly Feel proud. This has also put great pressure on the United States, which is why it has severely suppressed Huawei Group.
However, the various bad measures in the United States have not interfered with the continued progress of my country's 5G network. China Telecom officially announced a relevant decision, and Qualcomm did not expect it. I can't help but sigh that everything happened so fast, so this What kind of decision is it?
Telecom officially announced that it will shut down the 3G network in my country. This plan will be implemented starting from Yunnan Province in my country and will eventually be extended to the entire country.
Many people are curious about this. When 5G network is gaining momentum, why does China Telecom devote some of its energy to managing the existence of 3G network? In fact, this move is ultimately for the development of 5G networks.
As we all know, 5G networks in many cities in my country have entered the trial operation stage, and subsequent comprehensive rollout will require a lot of energy and equipment to support. Therefore, my country's three major operators all plan to create more frequency bands by shutting down 3G and 2G networks to meet the needs of 5G network development. However, what is unexpected is that the first to implement this plan is the telecommunications company .
So what impact will this move have on Qualcomm? In the perception of many people, Qualcomm, as a giant in the electronic communications industry, is dedicated to the development of chips. In fact, the operation of 3G networks is also led by Qualcomm.
China Mobile began to shut down the 3G network last year. The picture era of the 3G network was ended. People who use 3G mobile phones to connect to the Internet will no longer be able to send pictures and can only use the most basic text messaging and phone calls.
China Unicom is attacking in the 2G network. Starting from 2018, the 2G network will be gradually shut down. China Telecom also issued an announcement to accelerate the application of 4G and 5G networks. China Telecom Yunnan Company will gradually close the 3G-EVDO data service from June 1.
At the same time, the moves of the three major operators were unexpected for Qualcomm. Anyone who knows Qualcomm should know that a large part of Qualcomm's business revenue comes from patent fees. Network standard patents from the 1G to 4G era all use the network rules set by Qualcomm, so it is inevitable to pay patent fees to Qualcomm.
Now that operators are gradually shutting down corresponding network data, Qualcomm will lose this part of its patent fees. When the United States started to engage in communications, it did not have much advantage in facing the European Internet giants. Whoever formulated the Internet rules could control the market in the Internet era.
In order to check and balance European countries, the United States and China have joined hands to not only compete with European countries, but also make money in the Chinese market. The most important thing is to stabilize their own position. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
The United States has great advantages in 2G, 3G and 4G networks. Qualcomm, one company, can collect money from mobile phone manufacturers around the world because it has mastered relevant communication patents, but this is the "Qualcomm tax" , but in the 5G era, Qualcomm has lost its advantage.
