Huawei
What can I do in 5 years? Enough chip process from 14nm to 4nm, mobile phone screens from LCD to OLED, cloud computing began to replace traditional data centers, metacosm has become the new favorite of the industry. But for some countries, 5 years of time simply means leaving Huawei's technology and equipment to start building 5G.
Huawei equipment replacement can only be completed in 2027
How long will it take to build 5G after losing Huawei? In March 2022, a number of foreign media began to discuss this topic, and finally concluded that it will take at least 5 years to gradually complete the replacement of Huawei equipment by 2027, which is undoubtedly an unacceptable result for communication operators and consumers.
Global communications equipment market share
Why is Huawei so difficult to replace? There are several main reasons:
The first reason is Huawei's significant lead in technology. As the global leader in communication equipment, Huawei occupies more than 29% of the market share, the same as the other two major communications giants Nokia and Ericsson combined, that is, the number of communication equipment of Huawei alone exceeds the sum of the second and third places. In the field of communication equipment, there is also a scale effect, the larger the scale of the enterprise in the construction of communication equipment more experience, the accumulation of technology is also more, and eventually will get more market share, which is the strong Hengqiang.
Global 5G Essential Patents Ranking
The second reason is that Huawei is one of the main developers of communication technologies, including 5G, and is ahead of technology giants such as Samsung, LG, Qualcomm, Nokia, and Ericsson in 5G core patents with a 30% share. Unlike Qualcomm's patent charging model, Huawei adopts a patent packaged device for sale together. The advantage of Qualcomm's model is that it does not produce communication products, but has been staring at whether other companies use their own patents in products. The advantage of this model is that the cost is very low, but the disadvantage is the hollowing out of the technology - once a new technology that can bypass Qualcomm standards emerges, Qualcomm will soon be eliminated by the market due to the lack of products and market share.
The advantage of huawei's model is that while expanding the market share of communication equipment in the world, it also allows its patents to form large-scale applications, and eventually become the de facto standard of the communications industry. Anyone who wants to bypass Huawei to build a 5G network will pay a lot of time and money, and the end will not be worth the loss.

The third reason is that Huawei is unique in terms of construction speed and network stability. Huawei's wolf culture is well known, but behind Huawei's high efficiency is the high return - according to the financial report, Huawei's per capita salary is as high as 706,000, which translates into a monthly salary of 58,800.

It is precisely with this top domestic salary system and a high salary system in global technology companies that Huawei can attract enough excellent talents and ensure the motivation of front-line engineers. The principle of more work and more gain is vividly reflected in Huawei. The final formation is the efficiency and rapidity of Huawei's "iron army" in the construction of communication networks, and then compare the construction speed of Nokia and Ericsson and other enterprises, which is also an important reason why replacing Huawei will lead to a loss of 5 years.

Write at the end
With its own efforts and innovative spirit, Huawei has finally become the world's largest manufacturer of communications equipment, not only seeking the direction of development for itself, but also providing excellent solutions for the global communications industry. Today, some regions choose to exclude Huawei from the construction of 5G equipment, which is undoubtedly a lose-lose decision. Imagine if the construction of 5G is just completed in 2027, and I am afraid that 6G has already begun to be prepared for commercial use, is the cost of this backward generation of communication technology really worth it?
