With the continuous development of science and technology, the importance of communication has become more and more obvious. We all know that in the past few decades, from the 1G to 4G era, the communication field has been dominated by the West, such as Qualcomm, Communications giants such as Cisco, Ericsson, and Nokia have almost monopolized the global communications market with their far-leading patented technologies. As we all know, monopoly means huge profits. Qualcomm, for example, relies on a large number of communications patents to collect domestic patent fees every year. It’s around 26 billion yuan. However, due to the emergence of communications giants such as Huawei, ZTE, and Oppo, good things like Qualcomm will be gone forever.
Now that the 5G era has arrived, 5G-related technologies will become the mainstream communications technology in the next decade. With the help of Huawei, ZTE and other companies, domestic 5G communications have finally defeated the major Western communications giants and for the first time Obtain the highest voice in the world in the field of communications, and with the continuous advancement of 5G technology, 2G technology will completely withdraw from the stage of history, which also means that Qualcomm’s large number of 2G patented technologies will lose value, and the patent fees we pay to Qualcomm will also There has been a sharp decline, and Huawei, with the largest number of 5G core patents in the world, has already collected 3.8 billion yuan in patent licensing fees from all 5G manufacturers this year. In the next decade or so, Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung, Nokia, Ericsson, etc. will not be able to escape.
Faced with Huawei and ZTE’s 5G patent restrictions, the West naturally did not want to give up such a large piece of the 5G market. What they did not expect was that communications giants such as Qualcomm and Cisco failed to live up to their expectations and spent huge sums of money to develop millimeter wave communication technology. However, it has become a complement to Huawei and ZTE’s centimeter wave technology. Therefore, we have also seen that since 2018, the West has continued to block the development of domestic 5G technology and restricted Huawei and ZTE from entering the global communications market. So far, Ericsson and Nokia have gained a lot. , ranking among the top two in the world with 165 and 146 5G orders respectively, while Huawei and ZTE are making slow progress, with only 91 and 59 orders.
Although Huawei did not have many orders in the second phase of 5G despite repeated attempts by the West, Ren Zhengfei was so far-sighted that he directly decided to let Huawei transition to the third phase of 5G in advance, which is 5G construction. The last step, the 5G application upgrade stage, is to apply 5G technology to various industries such as automobiles, home appliances, transportation, coal mining, etc. After the upgrade of each industry is completed, it will not only improve competitiveness, but also bring huge dividends. We also see When Huawei arrived, it took the lead in establishing five major "legions" to launch efforts in coal mining, transportation, ports, data, photovoltaics and other industries in advance.
Recently, Huawei once again ranked first in the world, which also means that Ren Zhengfei’s decision has achieved merit. Not long ago, the global market research organization Dell'Oro Group released a report, which calculated the global third quarter In terms of the ranking of the telecommunications equipment market, Huawei ranks first in the world with a market share of 28, far ahead of Nokia Ericsson, which is second and third. Both major competitors only obtain a market share of 15. Not only that, domestic ZTE, the second largest 5G giant, has begun to exert its efforts, and its market share has increased to 10, ranking fourth in the world.
According to the above statistical data, in the global telecommunications equipment market, Huawei and ZTE have achieved a market share of about 38%, while the main competitors Ericsson and Nokia only have a combined share of 30%. You must know that despite repeated attempts by the West, Ericsson and Nokia won a large number of 5G orders in the second phase of 5G, far ahead of Huawei and ZTE. What the West did not expect was that domestic 5G networks would develop so fast. Not only It has built the world's largest 5G network and will be the first to enter the third stage of 5G applications.
Huawei’s transformation into the third phase of 5G ahead of schedule has offset the losses in the second phase, and it still ranks first in the global telecommunications equipment market. This also means that Ericsson and Nokia still lost, and the West’s blocking plan It also failed again. Starting in 2018, the West not only put Huawei and ZTE on the "blacklist", but also established the so-called 5G Open Alliance. The purpose is obvious, which is to unite technology giants such as Qualcomm, Intel, Nokia, and Ericsson. Rebuilding a new 5G standard to get rid of the 5G patent restrictions of Huawei and ZTE, but the results are ridiculous. Not long ago, Ericsson made it clear that the products launched by the 5G Open Alliance are not only much higher than the market price, but also have insufficient performance. Require.
Not only that, as 5G technology continues to improve, there is not much time left for the 5G Open Alliance. If 5G products that are comparable to Huawei and ZTE cannot be launched before 2025, then this so-called 5G There is only one result for the open alliance, and that is to collapse, because in five years, 6G technology will be on the stage. Even if 5G technology is used, what is the point?
Well, Huawei once again won the first place in the world, Ericsson and Nokia still lost. What do you think?
