Among them, Ren Zhengfei responded to Huawei's decision to license the full set of 5G technologies to American companies without reservation. Ren Zhengfei said that this matter is beneficial to Huawei. "On the one hand, it has eased international relations, and on the other hand, it has increased competitors. If the competitors are not strong, Huawei will also decline. From this perspective, we have a completely open attitude."
Ren Zhengfei It is believed that the world has established a balanced technology ecosystem by the United States, Europe, China, Japan and South Korea. Unlike Google's ecosystem. Because the era of artificial intelligence is coming soon, the construction of optical fiber to the home in the United States is lagging behind. If the 5G network also lags behind, the United States' artificial intelligence may lose its leading advantage.
First, we are willing to follow the FRAND principle of international practice and license 5G patents to American companies in a fair and non-discriminatory manner;
Second, 5G proprietary technology, including complete The full set of 5G network technology (software source code, hardware design, production and manufacturing technology, network planning and network optimization, testing and other overall solutions) is fully and exclusively licensed to American companies without reservation. In this way, American, European and Chinese companies will start at the same time and start in the new era. Continue to compete technically;
Third, the United States can choose 5G base stations based on American general-purpose chips, or it can choose the "U.S. general-purpose chip Huawei chip" method. If it needs our 5G chip technology, it can also Licenses can be transferred.
"On the one hand, it has eased international relations, and on the other hand, it has increased competitors. If the competitors are not strong, Huawei will also decline. From this perspective, we have a completely open attitude." From 5G to core network industries, what the United States is most worried about is that Huawei no longer needs American components at all. Ren Zhengfei said that there is currently no consensus reached with some American companies, but many social elites in the United States are asking how to operate this matter.
