Today, let's talk about it: Vodafone: China's 5G achievements, the UK will take ten years to achieve! Ren Zhengfei did not talk nonsense!
Huawei in the process of promoting 5G globalization, encountered a lot of resistance, the reason is that European and American countries are unwilling to accept the fact that technology in the field of communications has been overtaken, and want to limit Huawei's development to ensure that there is sufficient research and development time to regain the leading edge in the field, but this time they have made a mistake, not only did not achieve the desired results, but also dragged down the construction of local 5G networks.
From the 2G to the 4G era, the technology in the field of communications is guided by Europe and the United States, domestic communication companies need to pay a large number of technology patent fees every year, but also do not have a high degree of independent operation rights, and such a dilemma, finally changed after Huawei broke the monopoly of technology, Huawei's 5G has become the world's top existence, they give up cooperation, dismantle equipment, but also doomed to harm others and their own existence.
Vodafone, the BRITISH telecom giant, also directly stated: "If you want to catch up with the current 5G level in China, it will take at least ten years to rely on your own strength." It seems that Ren Zhengfei said before that Huawei is at least three years ahead of European and American technology, or too conservative, and Vodafone is currently vigorously promoting OpenRAN technology, which may be their only opportunity."
Vofonda made a statement
After Huawei improved the layout of the 5G network, some supporting industrial chains came into being, has shown a good strength, many projects will become the future development direction, many new infrastructure projects, high-tech technology, etc., must use 5G related functions to achieve development, ten years ago on the layout of 5G network technology research and development of Huawei, has now become a well-deserved world first.
When Huawei 5G technology was just released, the first to enter the European market, after the superiority of the technology was certified, many countries have signed contracts with Huawei, and at first the cooperation with various countries was quite smooth, the corresponding cutting-edge equipment has also been laid out into the major base stations, and did not expect that forced by the pressure of relevant restrictions, many European countries unilaterally gave up cooperation, completely banned Huawei 5G equipment, even those that have been laid out have to be dismantled.
But what is surprising is that after three years of restrictions, instead of affecting Huawei, it has also made Huawei more powerful, according to the latest data, Huawei still ranks first in the global communication equipment market share in 2021, taking 28.7% of the share, and Nokia and Ericsson, which benefit from relevant figures, the share is enough to reach such a level.
For those countries in the United Kingdom that are trying to dismantle Huawei equipment, although it has consumed huge manpower and material resources, it is still doing useless work, seeing that it is impossible to get rid of Huawei's technology patents, the British side has officially postponed the dismantling of Huawei equipment for half a year, in response to the current situation, the person in charge of Vodafone directly stated: "European countries want to reach the current level of China's 5G, there is no ten years to do it." ”
The dilemma of European countries laying out 5G
With the help of Huawei, China has completed 1.42 million 5G base stations in just three years, and it is expected to reach 2 million by the end of this year, accounting for 70% of the world's proportion in the construction of base stations, and will soon be able to achieve national coverage of 5G networks.
And many U.S. companies are even more frank: "The 5G network built is not as good as the original 4G!" Just such a sentence directly shows the current 5G dilemma in Europe and the United States, and Vodafone, as the world's largest mobile communication company, occupies half of the European market, and the affirmation of Huawei's 5G also reflects their dissatisfaction with the European authorities from the side.
Huawei's fair and open cooperation attitude, and did not get their cherished, now regret is too late, Ren Zhengfei gave them many opportunities, but European countries still made the wrong choice, even 5G has not yet fully understood, they even want to start to lay out 6G network, which is tantamount to futility, at least in the next decade, the communication field will be led by Huawei.
Will Vodafone's OpenRAN technology succeed?
Since they do not choose Huawei's equipment, they naturally want to find alternative ways, and this solution is to promote the OpenRAN open wireless access network, Vodafone has launched a 5G OpenRAN site, and plans to increase the proportion of technology to 30% by 2030, so that most european countries will replace this network access method.
The traditional access method is RAN, and its ecology in Europe is relatively mature, and the OpenRAN access method advocated by Vodafone mainly deals with the dilemma of 5G construction, but it is not so easy to build a perfect ecology, in order to complete the replacement of technology, you have to dismantle the old equipment, relying solely on the British layout, it is difficult to radiate to the entire European market.
OpenRAN is a nascent product, whether the future is cost-effective enough is not known, which is a challenge for the telecommunications industry itself, and there is no successful case, presumably Vodafone certainly does not have the courage of Huawei, so want to use this technology to achieve a catch-up with Huawei, ten years are conservative, what do you think about it?
