A few years ago, when the mainland first began to prepare for the implementation of 5G communication, people were very confident that Huawei was in the leading position in the field of 5G communication in the world, and could even be said to be the initiator of 5G communication. And it is said that Huawei's patents in 5G communication technology and applications are the most in the world, far more than Qualcomm, Samsung and other companies also want to devote themselves to 5G enterprises.
The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) released the Global 5G Standard Essential Patents and Standard Proposal Research Report (2023), showcasing global 5G innovation activities. Among the industry entities that ETSI has made 5G standard-essential patent declarations, Huawei is the first and indeed far ahead. But what I have never understood is that since our Huawei is a global leader in the 5G field and has many patent rights in the field of 5G communications, why is Huawei or our 5G communications still subject to the United States?
Huawei lacks not only 5G standard CPUs, but also 5G baseband chips
Huawei HiSilicon chip is a chip design company, and its Kirin 9000 series 5G chips are SoC products. In other words, the Kirin chip not only integrates the CPU and GPU in one chip, but also integrates the 5G baseband chip Baron 5000 into the Kirin 9000.
In addition to CPU and GPU, the most important thing for mobile phones is to obtain the communication capabilities of the corresponding standard through the baseband chip, only one CPU can not complete 5G communication, and the baseband chip is needed to process 5G signals. 5G processors and 5G baseband chips, especially 5G baseband chips, we basically can't make ourselves. Even if there is a 5G processor, without a 5G baseband chip, it is impossible to make a 5G mobile phone.
Huawei executives respond to questions
At the previous Huawei 2022 annual report conference, when asked when Huawei's 5G mobile phone will return, Huawei's rotating chairman Xu Zhijun said that the mobile phone business is the business most affected by sanctions, from the world's second or Yu Chengdong said first, to the current others, now the US Department of Commerce only licensed 4G mobile phone chips, so Huawei can only make 4G mobile phones.
However, recently some domestic digital bloggers broke the news that they are looking forward to the "GGGGG" performance of Huawei Mate 60, these 5 G are estimated to refer to 5G network functions, if it can be achieved, it will greatly improve the network speed and keep up with the level of many brands, do you expect it?
