Top vendors carrier business revenue in 2016

1. Huawei $42.16 bn
2. Ericsson $24.93 bn
3. Nokia Networks $23.27 bn

Huawei has generated CNY 236,512 million (+41 percent) revenue from China, CNY 156,509 million (+22.5 percent) from EMEA, CNY 67,500 million (+36.6 percent) from Asia Pacific, CNY 44,082 million (13.3 percent) from Americas, CNY 16,971 million (+50.4 percent) from others in 2016.

Huawei generated CNY 236,512 million in revenue from the Chinese market thanks to 4G network rollout, sustained growth in the smartphone sector, and its growing capabilities in enterprise and industry solutions.

Huawei earned CNY 156,509 million in revenue from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) primarily due to growing share of the smartphone market.

Due in large part to network infrastructure build-out in markets like India and Thailand, and growing share in the Japanese tablet market, Huawei maintained its growth momentum in the Asia Pacific Region and achieved CNY67,500 million in revenue, up 36.6 percent year-on-year.

In the Americas, carriers in Mexico increased their investment in communications networks, enabling Huawei to earn CNY44,082 million in revenue from this region, up 13.3 percent over 2015.

Huawei carrier business highlights

Huawei deployed over 60 4.5G networks. Huawei helped carriers expand their business scope beyond the traditional Business to Customer (B2C) services to also include Business to Home (B2H) and Business to Vertical (B2V) services.

Huawei’s wireless home broadband solution known as wireless to the x (WTTx) has been deployed by over 100 carriers in Asia-Pacific, Africa, Latin America, and Europe, among other regions, providing broadband services for more than 30 million households.

Huawei said its innovative Lean GU900 and multi-sector solutions have helped over 100 carriers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America maximize network value. In particular, Huawei’s multi-sector solution can help increase single-site capacity by a factor of 3.5.

By the end of 2016, Huawei had deployed over 190 mobile backhaul networks in over 100 countries, serving one-third of the world’s population.

Huawei signed memorandums of understanding with 20 carriers around the world in an effort to build a robust smart home ecosystem.

Huawei has signed more than 170 contracts relating to commercial cloud networks worldwide.

@AndrewJin

In fact the thing that is not mentioned here is that both Ericsson and Nokia suffered revenue declines over last year.

Huawei is a beast man. It is very hard to find the right balance.

Huawei spent almost 12 billion dollars in research!

In comparison Baidu spent only 1.5 billion and alphabet/Google around 13 billion.

Other chinese companies need to up their game.

I have always said that the only fabless Chinese company that can go head to head with Qualcomm and mediatek is huaweis hisilicon.

Hisilicon while today supplying only to Huawei is already the largest fabless Chinese company. Not only that Huawei has the culture of battle hardened veterans.

On the other hand spreadtrum and Tsinghua have the culture of spoilt single child prince.

For example Huawei at its start faced five big companies in telecom all of whom were huge compared to Huawei. Yet it battled and today all competition is in shambles.

In contrast, spreadtrum/Tsinghua has been pampered. It has been given huge money, preferential access, and everything.

Huawei Telecom doubles Ericsson in revenue

China's Huawei has three major businesses (telecom, smartphones, and others like cloud service and computer servers) with a total revenue of $75.1 billion in 2016.

Chinese tech giant Huawei reports flat profit in 2016 | CNBC

"SHENZHEN, China — It's a mixed bag when it comes to Chinese tech giant Huawei, where profits are largely flat and sales continue to rise.

Net profit edged up 0.4 percent to 37.1 billion yuan ($5.3 billion) in 2016, while overall revenue jumped 32 percent to 521.6 billion yuan ($75.1 billion), according to the company.
...
The Shenzhen-based company remains extremely ambitious, and has continued to spend massively on R&D, shelling out 76.4 billion yuan ($11 billion) to further its business."
----------

However, we are only interested in Huawei's telecom sales to enable a direct comparison with Ericsson to determine the world's largest telecom company.

According to TelecomLead, Huawei telecom sales ($42.16 billion) were almost double those of second-place Ericsson ($24.93 billion).

The question is whether Ericsson can reclaim market-share in the telecom industry. In my opinion, I think Ericsson's chances are pretty slim. Huawei's annual R&D budget is a massive $11 billion. There is no way Ericsson can match Huawei's R&D expenditure.

----------

If you are unfamiliar with Huawei's history and rise to become the world's largest telecom company, it was based on daring technological innovation.

Huawei is a technology pioneer and its patents are important for at least four reasons.

1. Huawei pioneered many SDN technologies.
2. Huawei built "the industry’s first Giga DSL (Digital Subscriber line) prototype" in 2011.
3. "Huawei also recently announced the successful development of the world’s first node level vectoring (NLV) prototype" in 2011.
4. Huawei was an innovator in DSLAM.

Due to its pioneering technologies and patents, Huawei grew into a $60 billion company in 2015. Chinese tech companies develop many of their own technologies and patents to become giants.

The following citation is from 2011 on Huawei's pioneering technology.

Huawei Unveils Industry's First Giga DSL Prototype

Huawei Smart AX M5300. The Smart AX MA5300 platform has been instrumental to Huawei's success in the global DSLAM (digital subscriber line access multiplexer) market, but the MA5600 series, designed to support more bandwidth-intensive services such as triple/quad play, is the company's flagship DSLAM.

Huawei Telecom doubles Ericsson in revenue

Congrats to Huawei. I think ZTE should be a fast rising challenger to Huawei's global dominance, their group 2016 revenue was RMB 101.2 billion, in which the Carrier Networks division increased to RMB 58.9 billion, as ZTE's innovative network solutions including Pre5G, Big Video and Network Virtualization and Cloudification are deployed by more operators around the world. ZTE's award-winning Pre5G solutions including Massive MIMO enable operators to fast-track the application of next-generation 5G technologies on existing 4G LTE network infrastructure, and are deployed in more than 40 networks in over 30 countries. ZTE's industry-leading SDN (software-defined networking) and NFV (network functions virtualization) solutions are deployed in more than 180 networks globally, after the company added over 40 new projects in 2016.

Huawei is doing extremely well here in Australia, 2nd largest telco uses Huawei dslam exclusively. Our 3rd and 2nd largest mobile carrier both uses Huawei equipment for their base station.

Sadly Australian government banned them from supplying equipment for its national broadband network. Otherwise the project could be done in a much shorter time frame
