European Operators Still See Huawei as Their Strategic Partner to Play Crucial Role in Advancing the Next Generation of Wireless Technology

Published December 30th, 2018 - 11:21 GMT

Despite external pressure, Huawei is still gaining foreign carriers’ support on 5G.

During a year-end press briefing held yesterday in central Seoul, LG U+ CEO and Vice Chairman Ha Hyun-hwoi has made it clear that the carrier does not think there are any security threats related to its use of Huawei equipment in its 5G infrastructure, rebuffing claims by some lawmakers that there is a risk of security leaks through the use of the Huawei equipment in the network.

LG U+ currently partners with Huawei for its 5G infrastructure. According to Ha, Huawei has already applied for security certification of its 5G network equipment from an international certifying body in Spain, and the public will be able to see how secure the equipment is once the evaluations are complete next year.

“Security concerns apply to every equipment vendor we partner with, not only Huawei, and we need to thoroughly verify all the equipment [we use] is secure,” Ha said. “There are roughly 170 countries that are already using Huawei’s network equipment, and there hasn’t been any security problems reported so far.” He added.

Locally, Huawei has set up equipment that abides by over 70 security guidelines set by the Korea Internet & Security Agency, according to LG U+.

LG U+ has built 5,500 base stations to service the next-generation 5G network as of Wednesday, while its local competitors have reportedly established less than 1,000 5G base stations. The company invested roughly 4 trillion won ($3.6 billion) to set up its 5G infrastructure, including at 5G spectrum auctions.

On a related note, at year-end news conference in Ottawa, Canada prime minister’s Justin Trudeau said: Canada’s decision on whether to allow Huawei access to its next-generation wireless network won’t be a political one”.

“There are millions of dollars, billions of dollars at stake in technology and in communications infrastructure, there is also the extraordinary imperative that Canadians and people around the world expect to be kept safe and free from interference and cyber attacks,” Trudeau said.

“It shouldn’t at all be a political decision made on how we engage, but a decision made by experts and a decision based on recommendations by our intelligence and security agencies,” he added.

Also in a reversal of its earlier stance, India said is unlikely to ban China’s Huawei from selling 5G equipment in the country, despite the US calling for a boycott over espionage concerns. Indian officials now say the telecom gear maker can’t be singled out in matters of security, especially since its rivals also source key components from China.

Many European operators see Huawei as their strategic partner that will play crucial roles in advancing the next generation of wireless technology. Huawei is still gaining foreign carriers’ support on 5G. Many European telecos are proceeding with 5G implementation with Huawei. The UK mobile operator O2 confirmed that it will continue to deploy Huawei 5G gear in the UK. Huawei has also recently partnered with market-leading Telecommunications Operator Altice Portugal committing to the development and implementation of 5G services in Portugal. Vodafone Italia and Huawei also recently announced the completion of a technique to improve the range of high frequency spectrum as part of their pre-standard 5G trials in Milan.

Orange CEO Stéphane Richard was very clear in his feedback about Huawei in face of the current situation. He said : “Huawei has the best technology in the world. They have the strongest capability and methods for R&D in the industry. So the quality of their products is undoubted”.

Some analysts have already suggested that banning Huawei will create a vacuum that no one can fill in a timely fashion, and may seriously impair 5G deployments worldwide as Huawei has recently announced through its rotating chairman Ken Hu that it has secured 25 commercial contracts, ranking number one among all ICT equipment providers, having already shipped more than 10,000 base stations to markets around the world.

Ken rejected allegations about the company network security saying: No evidence has been presented to back the allegations up, and no one can improve by locking out competition.

“Some security concerns based on the technology for 5G were very legitimate, but able to be clarified or mitigated through collaboration with operators and governments”. Ken added.

“Almost all network customers have indicated they want Huawei, which is currently the market leader with the best equipment and will remain so for at least the next 12 to 18 months, for faster and more cost-effective upgrades to 5G”.

Huawei's mate series, Honor series, and P series mobile phones are all well-known, but how many chips have Huawei independently developed over the years?

Huawei relies on its own HiSilicon Semiconductor Company to independently develop Huawei's mobile phone's own Kirin chip, Baglong baseband, IPC (network camera) video codec and image signal processing chip, TV chip and NB-IoT chip, etc. User's high rating.

(HiSilicon Semiconductor)

Kirin chip

The most familiar Kirin chips are composed of a whole series, including Kirin 980, Kirin 710, Kirin 970, Kirin 960, Kirin 950, Kirin 659, Kirin 935, Kirin 930, Kirin 928, Kirin 925, Kirin 920, Kirin 910T. Hi3789MK3V2.

When Hisilicon was first established in 2004, it did not involve smartphone chips. In 2009, launched a K3 processor test water smart phone, which is a chip for the open mobile phone market, competing with Spreadtrum and MediaTek, but Huawei did not use this processor at the time, and ultimately it was not a newsletter. MediaTek's opponent. Even if K3 was unsuccessful, Huawei did not give up.

Huawei's chip is truly known as K3V2. Huawei's first quad-core mobile phone Huawei D1 uses the chip. At the time, the K3V2 claimed to be the world's smallest quad-core A9 architecture processor. Its performance was comparable to that of the mainstream processor such as Samsung's Orion Exynos 4412. Although this chip has heat and CPU compatibility issues, it can still be regarded as Huawei mobile phone chip technology. A major breakthrough.

In the 4G era, Huawei released its first eight-core processor, the Kirin 920, which is not only very powerful, but also implements a heterogeneous eight-core big.LITTLE architecture that supports LTE Cat.6, the world's first mobile phone chip to support this technology. The leading mobile phone chip tycoon Qualcomm released one month, the overall performance is comparable to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 in the same period. At the recent IFA exhibition in Germany in 2018, Huawei officially released the Kirin 980 as the world's first mass-produced 7nm mobile phone. The chip has dual NPU blessing.

As the latest AI mobile phone SoC (system-on-a-chip) chip, Kirin 980 is the world's first commercial leading TSMC7nm manufacturing process, based on CPU (two super large cores, two large cores, four small cores), GPU, NPU, ISP, DDR design A heterogeneous architecture for system convergence optimization. As early as September 2017, Huawei took the lead in releasing the world's first AI chip, which was equipped with the Cambrian NPU. This time, the Kirin 980 was first equipped with the optimized version of Cambrian 1A, using a dual-core structure. Its image recognition speed is 120% higher than 970.

In addition to image processing, Huawei has also created Flex-Scheduling technology, which uses AI intelligent prediction and scheduling mechanisms. The system can perform intelligent three-level scheduling according to the power consumption of the delivery application, the large core is used for games, the large core is used for social communication, and the small core is used for listening to music. And the Kirin 980 chip has been installed on Mate20, Mate20Pro, Mate20 X and Mate20 RS.

Balong baseband chip

The baseband is simply a module inside the mobile phone. It is responsible for making calls and data access. The 2G/3G/4G/5G network that we are familiar with is related to the baseband. Without a baseband mobile phone, you can't make calls or use mobile data to access the Internet. Huawei's technical strength in baseband is recognized by the state. In 2016, there were 14 companies in the National Science and Technology Progress Award. Huawei is one of them.

When it comes to Haisi's Balong baseband chip, most ordinary people feel that it is strange, but it is indeed one of the core components of the Kirin chip. The Kirin chip includes a baseband processor and an application processor, and Balong is the baseband processor part of Kirin, which directly determines the communication specifications and standards of the HiSilicon chip. At the same time, Balong, as a communication platform for mobile terminals, can also appear in mobile terminals, such as CPE and data cards.

The technical threshold of the baseband chip is very high. Like Apple's self-developed chip, it has been unable to solve the problem of the core baseband chip. It has been using Qualcomm's baseband chip. In recent years, Apple has checked and balanced Qualcomm in the future, and it has also adopted Intel's baseband chips. However, Intel's baseband chips are not as good as Qualcomm, which affects the overall performance of Apple's mobile phones and also affects the consumer experience. In fact, the baseband chip technology capability directly determines the market structure of the communications industry, including smart phones, and only by bringing the baseband chip communication specifications to the top of the world can be among the high-end of mobile phone chips.

Balong baseband chips are the direct manifestation of Huawei's mobile phone chips. The performance of Balong chips continues to improve, making the Kirin series chips begin to lead the world and accelerate the core product advantages and iteration speed of Huawei's terminal services. In the 3G era, Balong launched an Internet card to help Huawei's terminal equipment successfully enter the world's top operators. In the 4G era, the Balong team has become an important promoter of global LTE standards and industrialization with its deep technical accumulation and research and development advantages. Balong chips continue to set a new record in the global LTE4G industry.

As the excellent product of HiSilicon, the Kirin 970 chip, it integrates Balong760, becoming the industry's first mobile system-on-chip (SoC) supporting LTE Cat.18, with a peak download rate of 1.2 Gbps, achieving the first commercial dual-card dual VoLET. The Snapdragon 845 processor of the same level as Qualcomm was released in December of the same year. Samsung's first commercial product, the S9, was released nearly half a year later than Huawei's Mate10, and the half-year period was enough to form a "generation difference." The Balong5G01, the world's first 5G commercial chip released by Huawei in 2018, has intensified this "generation difference" again.

From the design parameters of the chip, the 5G chip based on the 3GPP standard, Balong5G01 supports the mainstream 5G frequency band, including Sub6GHz (low frequency) and mmWave (high frequency), theoretically can achieve data download of up to 2.3Gbps, support NSA ( 5G non-independent networking) and SA (5G independent networking) are two networking modes. Balong5G01 is the first commercial chip released after the 5G standard freeze, marking Huawei's first breakthrough in the commercial bottleneck of 5G terminals, becoming the first company in the world to provide end-to-end 5G solutions for customers.

IPC (Network Camera) video codec and image signal processing chip

Video images are an important source of information we can acquire and exchange, and the key to processing high-resolution massive video data is video encoding and decoding. Currently popular on the network are H.264 and H.265, and H.264 is widely regarded as the most influential industry standard. Because H.264 has high compression, it is suitable for network access. With the development of the Internet, various semiconductor manufacturers have seen a great market prospect for this video codec. Therefore, since 2005, TI, Anba, NXP, Taiwan's TEWELL, Japan's SONY, SHARP and other companies have all set their sights. On the H.264 codec chip.

In the field of video codec chips in these years, upstream manufacturers such as TI, Anba, etc. have never stopped competing, and the technology accumulation of foreign manufacturers has been in a leading position. Relying on the vigorous development of the domestic security market in the past ten years, Haisi has also been working hard in the upstream of the industry to independently develop its own video codec chip technology, gaining a leading position in certain technical fields, and building a market fortress through patents and technological breakthroughs. , forming a competitive advantage.

Huawei HiSilicon's video codec chip system is very comprehensive, including IPC video codec and image signal processing chips, from professional high-definition IPC system-on-chip Hi3518A to high-end industry IPC system-on-chip Hi3559AV100, chip products include consumer market, commercial market and Industry market; resolution from D1 to the latest 8K, frame rate up to 60fps. These comprehensive layouts and high reliability have won the favor of video application manufacturers, surpassing TI's products. At present, it has formed a three-pronged situation of HiSilicon, American Anba, and Japan (the background is Sony and Fujitsu), and TI has no new codec chip since DM8168.

HiSilicon's recently released Hi3559AV100 parameters are powerful, professional 8K Ultra HD Mobile CameraSOC, which provides 8K30/4K120 broadcast-quality image quality digital video recording, supports multi-channel sensor input, supports H.265 encoded output or film-level RAW data. Output, and integrated high-performance ISP processing, while using advanced low-power process and low-power architecture design, provides users with powerful image processing capabilities.

TV chip

In the last section, we mentioned that Hess has accumulated extensive technical experience in the field of video codec technology. These technical experiences have not only succeeded in the chip market of IPC video codec and image signal processing, but also become the leader in the field of TV chips. .

Before 2010, the domestic self-developed chips were basically in the stage of prototype or self-use, and the market acceptance was extremely low. At this time, the proportion of domestic chips is only 1%, and foreign chips account for more than 95%. By 2017, the domestic chip share in the Chinese market has increased by about 60%, while the proportion of foreign chips has dropped to about 35%.

Among them, Huawei Haisi occupies more than half of the domestic market, and its independent ultra-high-definition smart TV core chip has shipped nearly 10 million in 2016, and has entered the supply chain of six major color TV manufacturers, including Sharp, Hisense, Konka and other brands. They are all using HiSilicon chips.

The most important thing about TV chips is video codec technology, and HiSilicon's video codec technology has accumulated enough experience, from Hi3751V510 to the latest Hi3571V811, from 4K entry-level smart TV solutions to 8K smart TV solutions. Support to 8Kx4K@30fps, 4Kx2KHEVC and VP910bit, 120Hz MEMC, and support Dolby ATMOS, occupy an important position in the domestic TV chip industry.

And Huawei's entry into the TV industry news may cause domestic TV companies to abandon the Haisi TV chip. Taking Huawei's mobile phone as an example, HiSili's mobile phone chip technology has basically caught up with mobile phone chip leader Qualcomm, but only Huawei's own mobile phone is used, because other mobile phone factories are worried about the competitive relationship with Huawei, obviously do not want to support competitors, so it is useless. Huawei's mobile phone chip. If Huawei enters the TV field, the same domestic TV companies are likely to abandon Hisilicon's TV chips and switch to other chip companies' products. Because if they continue to use Huawei's chip, it may lead to their own research and development progress is known to Huawei, which is conducive to Huawei's TV business and competition, which is not what they hope to see.

NB-IoT chip

With the development of the Internet of Things, the existing connection technology can not only meet the rapidly increasing number of connected devices, but also occupy more resources. Therefore, the low-power wide area network (LPWAN) developed in recent years has gained widespread attention, and among many low-power WAN technologies, NB-loT (narrowband Internet of Things) technology is highly concerned.

We are entering an era of Internet of Everything, and the entire communications industry realizes that this is a huge opportunity. Therefore, major chip design companies have been studying the use of narrowband LTE technology to carry IoT connections a few years ago. Technology evolution, in 2015, 3GPP officially named this technology NB-IoT. This technology belongs to the narrowband part of 5G technology. It is built on cellular network and consumes about 180KHz bandwidth. It can be deployed directly on GSM network, UMTS network or LTE network due to its low power consumption, stable connection, low cost and excellent architecture optimization. Has received much attention.

Moreover, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China issued a notice on “Promoting the Construction and Development of Mobile Internet (NB-IoT) in June 2017. A total of 14 measures were issued, requiring the strengthening of NB-IoT standards and technology research to create a complete industry. The system optimizes the NB-IoT application policy environment and creates good sustainable development conditions. Under the great attention of the country, it can be seen that the development of NB-IoT is a huge business opportunity.

As the promoter of the NB-IoT standard, Huawei and Qualcomm are also two important players of the NB-IoT chip. Huawei has been investing in NB-IoT chip development since 2014. In 2015, it launched a pre-standard based chip prototype. After the announcement of the NB-IoT standard, Huawei quickly launched the NB-IoT commercial chip Boudica120, and then the Boudica150 (increased support for 1800MHz/2100MHz) was used in small batches in the third quarter.

From the application point of view, Huawei's NB-IoT chip solution can be used for smart water, smart gas, smart parking, smart home appliances and so on. In terms of smart water, Huawei has cooperated with Shenzhen, Yingtan and Fuzhou. In terms of smart gas, Huawei United Telecom and Shenzhen Gas (5.380, 0.01, 0.19%) and Beijing Gas have launched pilot projects.

Routing chip and "betting" future server chip

A few days ago, Huawei’s glory in a press conference in Beijing announced the routing chip “Ling Wei”. In the market, the routing chips were basically supplied by Qualcomm, MediaTek, Marvell and Broadcom. Now Huawei enters this field and will inevitably have more or less impact on these suppliers, but this is Huawei's improvement. The chip must study the strength of the road.

According to the official introduction, the Lingxiao 5651 is a quad-core 1.4GHz top-of-line routing processor with up to 5Gbps data forwarding capability, which can easily achieve full-rate forwarding of Gigabit WiFi and Gigabit Ethernet ports, and also supports more than 800Mbps. USB data transfer can provide users with high-speed network sharing. For the dual-band WiFi chip Linghao 1151, it has the characteristics of strong anti-interference ability. For IoT equipment, Lingxiao 1151 built two information highways, one for data connection and one for IoT equipment connection, to ensure that users' operations can get faster feedback. In addition, in order to cope with the experience of mobile game, the Lingxiao 1151 adopts a number of new technologies, such as game message recognition, early allocation of air interface, low latency rate adjustment, small traffic QoS guarantee, etc., with EMUI9.0, mobile phone and routing. Can enter the game mode at the same time, the rate is more stable.

According to the latest report, Huawei also officially announced its fourth-generation Arm server chip "Hi1620". This is the industry's first data center processor built on a 7nm process and is scheduled for release in 2019. According to the official introduction, the parameters of the chip design are very strong, providing Huawei with a powerful weapon to seize the cloud service market in the future.

Huawei Releases Wireless Fiber Solution to Increase HBB Rates and Improve Penetration

Jan 03, 2019


[Shanghai, China, January 3, 2019] Huawei released the latest Wireless Fiber Solution (an enhanced WTTx solution). Huawei focused on how to maximize wireless network potential and quickly provide broadband services. This presented a unique opportunity to meet with government ICT organizations, operators, and industry organizations to discuss fixed wireless broadband development and how to accelerate national broadband penetration.

Huawei's Wireless Fiber solution increases home broadband (HBB) rates and improves market penetration.

Rapidly developing LTE technologies, such as wideband 4T4R and massive MIMO, have significantly improved wireless bandwidth, capability, and greatly reduced the cost per GB. LTE has become a viable solution for broadband rate improvement. 5G spectrum release and various new 5G technologies will further improve spectral efficiency, capacity, and reduce the cost per GB to enhance the capability of wireless fiber broadband.

• Wireless fiber broadband has become an option to improve broadband rates.

According to the Digital Economy and Society Index Report 2018 in Europe, wired broadband rates in Europe are between 7 Mbit/s and 23 Mbit/s, and the LTE rate has already reached between 20 Mbit/s and 42 Mbit/s. 37% of households in Finland and 23% in Italy use only LTE wireless technologies to access the Internet.

• Wireless fiber broadband speeds up broadband popularization in developing countries.

Wireless broadband services have been rolled out in many developing countries, such as the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and South Africa, to significantly accelerate national broadband development. The growth rate of wireless broadband has surpassed that of fixed broadband. As a result, the broadband penetration rate increased from 12% to 17% in the Philippines, and from 9% to 25% in Sri Lanka.

Over the past five years, 230 operators in 124 countries have deployed WTTx to provide fixed wireless broadband services for 75 million households, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), schools, and hospitals.

Huawei's Wireless Fiber solution creates the following benefits:

1. Full services
2. Fiber-like experience
3. Fast deployment
4. Flexibility, flexible speed on demand
5. 5G-oriented evolution

• Full services

With the popularization of HBB services, people have more and more diversified requirements for broadband access, such as telephone access, Internet, and VOD through broadband set top boxes.

As for enterprise broadband private line access services, the headquarters and branch offices of SMEs require VPN-based intranet and mobile office services. These services depend on VoIP, VPN, video surveillance, and other network capabilities.

The Wireless Fiber solution supports a full range of diverse services, including broadband, video, VoIP, and VPN, helping operators deploy a basic, full-service broadband network for both households and enterprises.

• Fiber-like experience

The Wireless Fiber solution offers a Gbps-level broadband experience, helping operators provide superior HBB services.

Huawei's innovative massive MIMO and wideband 4T4R full-series base stations work with high-end CPEs (which are stationary) to improve spectral efficiency by three to five fold. Along with the Wireless Fiber solution, Huawei released the industry's first 8-antenna outdoor CPE (B3368), a CPE that can achieve peak rates of up to 1 Gbit/s.

The B3368 combined with Huawei's advanced massive MIMO base stations leverages exclusive performance enhancing technologies to achieve three times higher service provisioning capability than other industry solutions and reduces the cost per line by 60%. This allows operators to maximize the value of their networks and provide broadband access services for more households and enterprises without adding more base stations.

• Fast deployment

Fast service provisioning: Traditional wired broadband services require several weeks, or even several months, to deploy, but WTTx services can be on air within a single day. Huawei offers the WTTx Suite commercial solution, the only one of its kind available in the industry, to help operators provide, manage, and remotely activate services. The B2368 is the industry's first full-band 4R CPE with a 360° adaptive omnidirectional high-gain antenna. The B2368 not only provides better signals but can also perform automatic optimization based on network conditions to achieve the best signal quality possible. This optimized CPE features simple installation and can be easily installed by the users themselves, improving service deployment efficiency. With the WTTx Suite and the B2368, WTTx services can be provided within a single day.

Fast user growth: WTTx offers broadband service via wireless connections. No trenches need to be dug, no cables need to be deployed underground, and no approvals need to be obtained from property owners. This helps operators rapidly increase the number of users.

Less expensive O&M and higher investment efficiency: Traditional wired broadband service provisioning requires on site testing and adjustment. Fault diagnose for these services requires dialing tests. Wired connections are prone to aging and physical damage. As a result, a lot of manpower is required to maintain the network, resulting in high O&M costs. However, WTTx provides unfettered wireless access, which helps to reduce overall O&M costs. Operators can take the money saved on O&M and use it to cover their CAPEX to improve ROI, or they can invest the spare man power in accelerating user growth and service provisioning, making their investments more efficient than ever.

• Flexibility, flexible speed on demand

There are several user segments requirements. Some of these users are price-sensitive and would rather get more data traffic at a lower cost. Other users are more sensitive to service experience and require high-quality broadband services. During wireless broadband development (since broadband users require high traffic), operators also consider to maintain the experience of mobile customers.

The Wireless Fiber solution leverages wireless fiber broadband technologies, which promote network resource sharing. This solution helps operators provide prepaid and postpaid packages for different consumer segments to meet different user experience requirements. Prepaid packages unlock the enormous potential of broadband services in many developing countries. For example, in countries such as the Philippines, South Africa, and Sri Lanka, once prepaid packages were provided, the growth of WTTx users outpaced that of fixed broadband users.

• 5G-oriented evolution

As for network investment, operators need to pay attention to sustainable development of network architectures for the arrival of the imminent 5G era. Huawei's Wireless Fiber solution features an advanced architecture that allows operators to evolve from 4T4R/8T8R to massive MIMO based on their needs. The latest hardware platform also supports 5G NR hardware evolution, helping operators invest more efficiently.

For the users, Huawei's exclusive CPE design supports smooth evolution to 5G CPEs with just an ODU replacement, quickly meeting user requirements for higher speeds.

Wang Qingwen, President of Huawei Wireless WTTx Product Line, commented, "Wireless technologies have witnessed remarkable development over the past few decades. Mobile voice services have been popularized around the world. Every household and every individual user can enjoy these services anywhere at any time. Huawei is committed to bring digital to every person, home, and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world. The Wireless Fiber solution will promote the development of the broadband connectivity and meet the requirements of Broadband speed upgrade in developed countries. This solution will also further accelerate the penetration of affordable HBB services in developing countries and bridge the digital divide for more homes."

Huawei completed the first 5G network test in India, with a speed of 3Gb/s,N times that of US
2019-01-05 10:00:38
https://www.toutiao.com/a6642826797182353924/
With the promulgation of the 5G network boom, the major 5G equipment manufacturers have recently started 5G testing in various countries. Although Huawei was previously refused cooperation by various national operators for various reasons. But in the end, with the technology leading the way, many European operators still chose Huawei. Moreover, India, which had previously insisted on not cooperating with Huawei, could not resist the temptation to start inviting Huawei to participate in its 5G test.

Recently, some foreign media said that the Indian operator has completed the network test of the first 5G base station with Huawei. The download speed of the test is 3Gb/s (about 380MB/s). This record is 2.7Gb/s tested in Italy. Still higher. Moreover, Huawei also issued a statement saying that two companies have completed the 5G network test in India.

So what is the concept of Huawei's 3Gb/s test? Compared with the US AT&T's 5G download speed of 194Mbps, it is nearly 15 times faster than the 700Mbps tested by Nokia in London. Obviously, these operators' 5G technology is far behind Huawei. It is no wonder that European media say that they don't use Huawei's 5G technology, and they have to lag behind others for a year.

Although India has completed the 5G test, it will take 2-3 years for them to spread from 5G. In addition, India's 4G network speed is also far below the world average speed. If you want to catch up with the speed of the big forces in the 5G era, it seems that you can only work closely with Huawei.

Huawei Technologies has reached an agreement with renowned agriculturalist Yuan Longping, China's father of hybrid rice, to develop "sea rice" that can grow on saline-alkali soil.

The technology is expected to help transform 1.5 billion mu (100 million hectares) of China's saline land into 100 million mu of arable farmland, news website ifeng.com reported.

The core technology of "sea rice" involves breeding new varieties of rice and adjusting soil and crops, Huawei's rotating chairman Ken Hu said. The technology is based on a system of "internet of Things for elements" and is achieved through "digitalizing lands," the report said.

"Sea rice," which is developed by Yuan, refers to saline-alkali tolerant rice which can grow in saltwater and is also resistant to diseases and pests.

The transformation of 1.5 billion mu of saline land is expected to yield 30 billion more kilograms of grains every year, which is equivalent to the annual grain output of farmlands in Central China's Hunan Province, feeding 80 million more people, according to the report.

Why the US cannot suppress Huawei’s development

By Yu Jincui Source:Global Times Published: 2019/1/7

It's no secret that Chinese tech giant Huawei, along with China's high-tech development that the company represents, have been targets of US suppression. But two events in China on Monday suggested the US attempt is doomed to fail.

Huawei unveiled its latest core chipset central processing unit (CPU) on Monday, an achievement that enhances its chip-making capacities and will contribute to the realization of Chinese chip self-supply. The new CPU, called Kunpeng 920, was built on the semiconductor architecture of UK semiconductor maker ARM Holdings. With unwarranted concerns swirling over Huawei's ambition to beat industrial peers and seek technological dominance, the company has displayed to the world it is committed to conducting global collaboration.

Huawei's success is fundamentally the success of innovation. Since its foundation, the company has pushed the pace of innovation, constantly bringing to the market something new and innovative. But it's worth noting that effective cooperation with global partners has played an important role in helping Huawei make breakthroughs, bringing top-notch technologies and products to serve the global market. Huawei's global business principles are openness, cooperation and win-win, as laid out by the firm in October. To a certain extent, the company cannot have achieved its present-day success and technological progress without its extensive cooperation with more than 13,000 supply partners as well as with industrial peers.

On the same day Huawei launched its new chipset, US electric carmaker Tesla Inc. broke ground on its Shanghai factory, which would double the size of the electric car maker's global manufacturing, making it the first to benefit from a new policy allowing foreign carmakers to set up wholly-owned subsidiaries in China. The groundbreaking of Tesla's Gigafactory is an indication of China's determination on expanding opening-up.

Eyeing China's huge population and its generous electric vehicle incentives, Tesla has long been willing to join in the Chinese new-energy vehicle market.

Given the gigantic consumption potential, China's efforts to create a more favorable regulatory environment for foreign investors and accelerating pace of opening-up with a string of fresh market-opening measures rolled out last year, the Chinese market will be more appealing to foreign companies, especially American companies. As a result, there will also be more fierce competition among those foreign investors.

In the face of US pressure, cooperation with the outside world and expansion of opening-up are the only way out for China as well as Chinese tech companies, Huawei in particular, to break though US technological encirclement.

As long as China continues to innovate, carry out global and open collaboration and stick to further opening-up, it will provide the international market with more superior technologies and products that will benefit other countries. China's technological advancement cannot be suppressed. The US had better face up to this reality.

C114 News January 9th afternoon news (Shu Yunwen) Huawei GIV (Global Industry Vision) 2025 forecast, the adoption rate of AI will reach 86% from 20% in 2015, AI becomes an enterprise to reshape business model and help decision-making And a key driver for improving the customer experience. At today's "New Network AI Wins the Future" network spring product launch conference, Huawei released the industry's first data center switch CloudEngine 16800 for the AI era, defining the three characteristics of the AI era data center switch, innovatively introduced AI technology, Pratt & Whitney AI helps customers accelerate intelligent transformation.

Leading the data center network from the cloud era into the AI era

“The intelligent world of Internet of Everything is accelerating, and the data center is becoming the core of new infrastructure such as 5G and artificial intelligence. Huawei is the first to introduce AI technology into data center switches, leading the data center network to enter the AI era from the cloud era.” Huawei Network Hu Kewen, president of the product line, pointed out in his speech.

With the advent of the AI era, AI computing power is affected by the performance of data center networks, and is becoming a key bottleneck in the AI commercial process. One-hundredth of the loss rate of traditional Ethernet will cause the AI computing power of the data center to play only. 50%; at the same time, it is expected that the global annual new data volume will increase from 10ZB in 2018 to 180ZB in 2025 (that is, 180 billion TB). The existing 100GE-based data center network can no longer support the challenge of data flooding; With the increase of the size of the data center server and the integration of the computing network, the storage network and the data network, the traditional manual operation and maintenance means has been unsustainable, and it is urgent to introduce innovative technologies to enhance the intelligent operation and maintenance capabilities.

In view of this, Huawei believes that the AI era data center switch will have three characteristics - embedded AI chip, single slot 48 x 400GE and the ability to evolve into an autonomous driving network, CloudEngine 16800 is released for this purpose.

What are the advantages of the CloudEngine 16800?

The industry's first embedded AI chip data center switch, 100% AI computing power: CloudEngine 16800 is the industry's first data center switch equipped with high-performance AI chip, carrying the original iLossLess intelligent lossless exchange algorithm to achieve traffic model adaptive self Optimized to achieve lower latency and higher throughput network performance based on zero packet loss, overcome the loss of computing power caused by traditional Ethernet packet loss, increase AI computing power from 50% to 100%, data storage IOPS ( Input/Output Operations Per Second) Performance increased by 30%.

The industry's highest density single slot 48 x 400GE, meeting the AI era 5 times traffic growth demand: CloudEngine 16800 has fully upgraded the hardware switching platform, on the basis of orthogonal architecture, breakthrough ultra-high-speed signal transmission, super heat dissipation, efficient power supply, etc. The technical problem is that the single-slot can provide the industry's highest density 48-port 400GE line card. The single machine provides the industry's largest 768-port 400GE switching capacity, and the switching capacity is up to five times the industry average, meeting the AI multi-stream multiplication demand. At the same time, single-bit power consumption is reduced by 50%, which is more green and energy efficient.

Enable automatic driving network, second-level fault identification, minute-level fault automatic positioning: CloudEngine 16800 based on built-in AI chip, can greatly improve the "network edge" or equipment-level intelligence level, enabling the switch to have local reasoning and real-time fast decision The ability to build a distributed AI operation and maintenance architecture through local intelligence combined with a centralized FabricInsight network analyzer enables second-level fault identification and minute-level fault automatic positioning to enable automatic driving network acceleration. At the same time, the architecture based on distributed AI operation and maintenance can greatly enhance the flexibility and deployability of the operation and maintenance system.

Wang Lei, general manager of Huawei's data center network, said that Huawei's CloudEngine series of data center switches have been successfully commercialized by more than 6,000 customers worldwide, helping customers in the financial, Internet, and carrier industries to digitally transform. The launch of the CloudEngine 16800 data center switch for the AI era will help customers accelerate the intelligent transformation, realize the Pratt & Whitney AI, and jointly build the intelligent world of the Internet of Everything.
