Introduction
With the popularization of 5G technology, 5G communication companies have also become ace companies in various countries. For the sake of its own interests and technology, the United States continues to put pressure on Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE, and uses its trade dominance to impose sanctions on Chinese companies. Huawei's chip production and other businesses have been severely affected, resulting in large losses.
Now I heard that Huawei has "new progress" in 5G? People in the industry tell the truth. What is your attitude towards this? After years of hard work, Huawei has sounded the clarion call for counterattack around the world. Many countries that have restricted Huawei's entry into 5G due to trade sanctions will have a great impact. Before 5G, global communications were controlled by the United States, and many technologies were controlled and monopolized by countries headed by the United States. Huawei, as my country's high-tech group, has gained dominance and voice in the 5G communications industry for the first time, forcing the standard-setting power of the entire industry to shift from Qualcomm in the United States to Huawei in China.
The CDMA communication technology used in domestic smartphones is a communication standard developed by the US-owned company Qualcomm in 1992. Qualcomm has been frantically making money in the smartphone market around the world through its more than 600 CDMA patents, which is why it has become a patent troll.
With the advent of the 5G era, Qualcomm’s era of standard-setting power has ended. In 2016, the world held the 3Gpp conference. Huawei Communications defeated the crowd through its ultra-high-traffic mobile broadband and gained control of the final solution for channel coding worldwide. This means that domestic Huawei, like Qualcomm’s ld PC technology, has become the standard setter for 5G communications in the new era.
Relative to Qualcomm, Huawei's own technical advantages are smaller, but it has greatly shortened the gap between the two, and surpassing it is just around the corner. In this competition in the 5G communications industry, the technology displayed by Huawei is not inferior to Qualcomm in any way, forming a situation where it is competing with Qualcomm. In addition to the communications industry, Huawei has also made great progress in communication base station chip design and other aspects. It is one of the few SOC smart chip designers in China.
In response to US sanctions, Huawei has also begun a reciprocal counterattack. First, in terms of the use of technology patents, patent fees should be increased. Huawei has more than 6,000 5G patents worldwide, ranking first in the world. In order to expand its strategic space and improve its partnerships with other technology companies, Huawei has been cross-licensing operating patents with other companies to achieve fair, open, and shared results.
The expansion of Huawei's technological influence has aroused dissatisfaction in many Western countries. More than 150 companies, led by American companies, began to boycott Huawei, stopped supplying to Huawei, and gave up Huawei's chip foundry. Huawei has suffered considerable losses due to such severe sanctions. In order to reverse the losses, the patent fee usage charging standards were announced globally in 2021.
Huawei’s dominance and voice in the 5G field are unshakable and cannot be affected by sanctions. It is unrealistic for other communications industries to leapfrog Huawei's 5G technology in the technical field. This means that other technology companies and communications companies have to adopt Huawei's related technologies and also have to provide patent fees to Huawei.
According to online news, major Internet companies such as Apple Technology and Samsung Technology all need to pay Huawei a considerable amount of patent fees. Apple's weapon mobile phone, with sales exceeding 100 million units, needs to pay Huawei a patent fee of up to 1.6 billion US dollars, otherwise it will not be able to use Huawei's related technologies.
What happens if you don’t pay the patent fees? Verizon, the largest operator in the United States, responded to the sanctions and terminated all cooperative relations with Huawei, but it still uses Huawei's technical standards and property rights in the communications industry. Huawei then sued in court in accordance with the law. In the end, the court ordered Verizon to pay domestic Huawei up to one billion U.S. dollars in compensation.
As the setter of 5G communications industry standards and the owner of the largest number of patents, Huawei plays a very important role in the entire industry. If you want to use Huawei's related technologies, you must pay patent fees. The collection of patent fees has also increased the operating costs of many foreign companies, making them miserable.
The development time of domestic industry is more than a hundred years shorter than that of foreign industry, and many key technologies are controlled by Western countries.
In the past few decades, our country has spared no effort to promote industrial development, improve its scientific and technological innovation capabilities, and develop scientific research as the primary productive force to make up for and shrink the gap between China and the West to the greatest extent. For a long time, many domestic companies have had to pay high patent fees to U.S. and other companies. Huawei has broken this situation for the first time, forcing U.S. companies that think too highly of themselves to pay patent fees to it.
The reason why Huawei insisted on open sharing before was to strengthen technological exchanges with Western countries and achieve global success. However, the United States has repaid kindness with hatred. In order to protect its status as a technological hegemon, it has wielded the trade stick wantonly and launched a wave of boycotts of Huawei. In the 5G communications market, countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom are using the government's tough measures to resist Huawei's entry. Huawei's sudden charge of patent fees is also a counterattack against the unfounded accusations and sanctions from the United States and other countries. It is an attitude towards fighting for hegemony to the end.
Conclusion
All in all, in the 5G communications industry, Huawei, as a Chinese company, is at the forefront of the world, demonstrating our country's strong scientific and technological innovation capabilities to countries around the world. Amid multiple rounds of U.S. sanctions, Huawei has continued to fight back with the support of my country and has found a glimmer of hope. I believe that in the near future, other domestic industries will also pursue their victory and lay a solid foundation for a technologically powerful country.
