I just bought a HUAWEI laptop "Matebook X Pro" for my nephew who is going to university this autumn. I think everybody can do something helpful to China's tech industry, big or small. When buying things, look at the brand, the content, then let your heart make the choice.

I'm wondering if any of you techy guys can help me.

My wife saw an ad advertising 5G on a mobile phone in the UK. She said how could this be possible if we are going to rip out Huawei's gear.

My replied was, they are continuing with 5G using Nokia and Ericsson.

Then she said how come? They don't have the tech that Huawei has? They are not 5G capable, Huawei holds all the patent etc.

I'm still for an answer. Anyone here got a good explanation please. Thanks

Not a techy guy. Ericsson is 1-2 years behind Huawei, it can still build 5G network with somewhat less efficient gears. It is just that Ericsson 5G solution is more expensive than Huawei 5G solution. So companies using Ericsson 5G solution would either slow down their deployment or pay more for the gears or both. Ericsson 5G gears would also consume more energy and more expensive to maintain.

Nokia is even worse off. Due to the fact that it is using FPGA for its chipsets, Nokia gears are expensive and use more power. That means its gears are not competitive and it was forced to eat the costs to lure telecom vendors. In the end, Nokia is losing money to maintain its market share with its bad products. Companies using Nokia have experienced delays because Nokia needs time to fix its chipsets by using SoCs instead of FPGA.

Hi KYli,

Im not a techie guy myself, a newbie question Maybe you, WTAN, Skywatcher and Localizer and may help. Is Huawei plan 45nm chip fab is for the production of 5g base station chips and other auxiliary? at least from what I read, chip for base station doesnt need the latest node chip like in the cell phone?

Highly doubt it will be used for the base station chips that underpins the infrastructure. Intel just got into the fray and is using 10nm.

45nm will most likely be used as training/learning and perhaps MEMS production.

@BMEWS but I guess it's a start to the solo Huawei giant that you always push for.
