Huawei's 5G is a well-known fact that 5G is leading the world, and with the help of Huawei, the domestic 5G network construction process is also at the forefront of the world. Up to now, the three major domestic operators have built more than one million 5G base stations, and the number of users is also hundreds of millions, looking at the entire 5G market, they are in an absolute leading position.
However, it should be noted that in the choice of 5G band, Huawei has diverged with some foreign manufacturers, especially US companies. Huawei's 5G is basically a centimeter wave in the middle and low frequency bands, while the 5G in the United States is dominated by millimeter waves in the high frequency band, and these two 5G networks are more popular, and it is not clear who is better.
So what is the difference between centimeter waves and millimeter waves? While Huawei is developing centimeter wave 5G, has it noticed millimeter wave?
The difference between centimeter wave and millimeter wave
In essence, centimeter wave and millimeter wave belong to 5G networks, but the frequency bands are different, the former is concentrated in the middle and low frequency bands, with wide coverage, strong penetration and low construction costs. It is precisely because of these advantages that China will choose centimeter wave as the main frequency band of 5G networks, because it is very in line with the actual construction situation in China.
It should be known that the domestic want to complete the popularization of 5G networks is not a simple task, in addition to the need for technical support from Huawei and other companies, it is also inseparable from the infrastructure of the three major operators. If the cost is too high for the three major operators to afford, then moving towards the 5G era has become empty talk, so centimeter wave 5G can be said to be the only choice in China.
But it is undeniable that millimeter wave 5G also has some obvious advantages, such as super user capacity, ultra-large bandwidth, ultra-low latency these three characteristics. Therefore, in some specific areas, millimeter wave 5G has a stronger competitiveness, the United States has always regarded it as the mainstream development direction, and also promote millimeter wave globally.
Although centimeter waves still account for most of the 5G market for now, millimeter waves are gradually being accepted by various countries and have been studied in depth. And the industry generally believes that in the future 5G market, there will be a coexistence of centimeter wave and millimeter wave, when all countries must master these two frequency bands in order to achieve better development.
China's millimeter wave ushered in a milestone breakthrough
Considering this factor, while laying out centimeter wave 5G, China has also made relevant deployments for millimeter waves. It is understood that in the recent period, many domestic companies have established cooperative relations with Qualcomm, the purpose of which is to try the millimeter wave technology launched by Qualcomm and feel the gap between it and the centimeter wave.
In May this year, Qualcomm achieved a breakthrough in the 200MHz millimeter wave carrier bandwidth and independent networking mode through the Snapdragon X65 baseband, and established its leading position in the field of millimeter wave 5G. Then, in July, Qualcomm completed the world's first millimeter wave data connection that supports 200MHz carrier bandwidth, further consolidating its advantages.
This fully proves the fact that in the field of millimeter wave 5G, U.S. companies have been ahead of the curve, and the reason why domestic companies cooperate with them is to occupy a place in the millimeter wave 5G market. However, due to the influence of the ATTITUDE of the United States, Chinese companies cannot rely entirely on American companies, they just want to seize the huge domestic market and will not really cooperate.
Fortunately, according to the latest domestic media reports in September, China's millimeter wave ushered in a milestone breakthrough, and Huawei officially announced that it has completed the test of 5G high-frequency carrier aggregation technology, becoming the first manufacturer in the world to complete the test. This means that Huawei's research on high-frequency band 5G, that is, millimeter wave, has made breakthrough progress, once again helping to solve a big problem in China.
Specifically, with the support of Huawei's high-low frequency carrier aggregation technology, the maximum download speed of the 5G network can reach 5.2G per second, setting a new record. Although china has not yet issued millimeter wave 5G operation licenses to major communication companies and operators, Huawei's research and development results have laid a solid foundation for laying millimeter wave 5G in China, and it will not be long before it can be fully commercialized.
Huawei's contribution is indispensable
I have to say that regarding the construction of domestic 5G networks, Huawei has contributed a lot! First the centimeter wave before, and now it is a millimeter wave, Huawei is worthy of being the best technology-based enterprise in China. In fact, Huawei has been the first in the global communications market for more than a decade, and since beating Cisco in the United States, it has no competitors.
The most valuable thing is that in the past two years, Huawei has also suffered unreasonable targeting from the United States, and the development of its 5G network in overseas markets has frequently encountered setbacks, and many partners have turned against each other. But Huawei has not been devastated by this, let alone compromised with the United States, and it has withstood the pressure from the United States again and again with its strong technical strength.
Now it seems that in the game with the United States, Huawei has achieved a stage victory, because it helped China's millimeter wave 5G to complete a milestone breakthrough, which is equivalent to breaking the blockade of US companies. If there is no accident, the next domestic will be a comprehensive layout of millimeter wave, and strive to achieve global leadership like centimeter wave 5G.
Write at the end
All in all, whether it is centimeter wave or millimeter wave, it is an important part of the 5G network, and since it is not clear which is better, it is certainly not wrong to have it all in hand. Now that Huawei's research on millimeter wave 5G has once again achieved a leading position, with its support, why can't China's 5G rise?
