5G network will enter a new era, all at a foreign 5G technology summit, the World Association of Mobile Communication Systems (GSMA) said that the global 5G network construction will enter a new stage, that is, "Sub-6 + millimeter wave".
The establishment of this model is a very significant progress for the development of global 5G networks, but it will be a more serious threat to Huawei, because of the popularity of this technology, Qualcomm is likely to dominate.
Laomei's 5G network is miserable
As we all know, Laomei, who has been clamoring to block Huawei's 5G, actually does not have much achievement in 5G network construction, on the contrary, many people evaluate the 5G network in Laomei can be described as terrible.
In a survey of 5G network construction in many developed countries around the world, we can see that the 5G network communication quality of Laomei is not as good as everyone thinks, on the contrary, some countries with economic and technological strength far weaker than Laomei have surpassed Laomei in deepening 5G networks, which makes many Laomei people dissatisfied.
At present, the 5G network speed in the remote areas of Laomei is even inferior to 4G, and some people jokingly call the 5G network in many areas of Laomei "turtle speed 5G". In addition to the slow speed, the signal disconnection is also a serious problem of the 5G network of Laomei. The 5G network in many areas of laomei may be disconnected many times in an hour, and such network quality is simply unable to run some important work or projects.
Once the network is disconnected, it is likely to cause important data loss and program interruption, which will cause very large losses to some enterprises and individuals, so many people prefer to use 4G networks rather than 5G networks.
Reject Huawei, Lao Mei can't live by her own sins
However, the reason for the failure of the construction of laomei 5G network is that laomei stubbornly uses millimeter wave technology. Everyone knows that 5G networks can be divided into two types according to different bands, one is millimeter wave, and the other is Sub-6, which is what we often call centimeter wave technology.
In contrast, millimeter wave technology network propagation speed is faster, network latency is lower, but the disadvantage is that the signal coverage is small, the attenuation force is large, the penetration is weak, and the signal is easy to lose through obstacles; and Sub-6 is just the opposite, although the speed is slightly inferior, but the coverage is wide, and signal stability is its important advantage.
In general, many countries will choose to mix Sub-6 and millimeter wave technology in combination with terrain and development, because this saves the cost of crazy base stations and can also take into account the quality of network communication. However, because Lao Mei stubbornly excludes Huawei, resulting in Lao Mei no way to use Huawei's cmwave technology, Nokia, Ericsson and other operators in cmwave technology, can not be compared with Huawei, so Lao Mei has always insisted on using only millimeter wave technology.
However, there are many disadvantages of using this technology alone, because the coverage of millimeter wave technology is relatively narrow, resulting in the need to build a denser network base station to maintain signal stability, which also leads to the need to invest more costs to establish more network base stations. And in many areas with complex terrain, even if two or three times the number of network base stations are built, there will still be no way to maintain signal stability because of terrain obstruction.
Qualcomm stood up to help Lao Mei counterattack, and Huawei felt pressure
And at this time, Qualcomm stood up. Not long ago, Qualcomm launched a set of "Sub-6 + millimeter wave" 5G network construction program, and intends to work closely with Nokia in terms of technology. This set of plans quickly won the official support of Laomei, because once the whole set of programs is officially implemented, it can greatly resolve the tragic situation of Laomei in the construction of 5G networks.
Previously, Lao Mei has also been seeking a better way to build a network, but helplessly due to its own technical suppression and blockade, the relationship between Lao Mei and many foreign network providers is very stiff, and the network suppliers in the old United States are "lame" in technology, excessive pursuit of the most core technology, resulting in US companies in the technical framework is not complete.
Now Qualcomm has gained a lot of resource tilt under the support of Lao Mei, which makes Qualcomm develop rapidly and quickly catch up with large troops. Qualcomm's hybrid technology can ensure network quality more than the single use of millimeter wave technology such as Ericsson and Nokia.
Although Huawei is not only limited to Sub-6 technology, but also promoting millimeter wave technology, but Huawei's millimeter wave technology still has a lot of room for improvement, and it is unrealistic to want to adopt the same technology development model at present.
summary
It can be seen that Qualcomm's curve overtaking has brought huge pressure to Huawei. If Huawei does not take certain actions, then Huawei's advantages in the field of technology will be diluted by Qualcomm, or even completely surpassed by Qualcomm. Huawei's most important thing is to consider how to quickly promote millimeter wave technology, and only by accelerating the speed of progress can it ensure that it is not eliminated by the industry.
