China's First-Quarter Phone Sales Augur 5G Future, Led by Huawei
(Yicai Global) April 30 -- China's Huawei Technologies and fifth-generation wireless handsets came out as winners after the virus-hit first quarter for smartphone sales, paving the way for 5G dominance, according to a Hong Kong-based phone market research agency.
“We expect 5G smartphones to rise to account for over 40% of total smartphone sales in China by the end of 2020,” analyst Zheng Mengmeng wrote in a report published by Counterpoint Research yesterday.
The total 5G handset sales more than doubled from the previous quarter, making up over 15 percent of the market. The hype has built up fast as it has not been more than six months since commercial 5G networks became available in China, Zheng added.
Huawei was the only phonemaker to achieve growth in China over the quarter as the country's aggregate sales declined by 22 percent in the first quarter from a year ago due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the report added.
Huawei's first-quarter sales increased by 6 percent to 2.9 million units, more than the combined sales of rivaling Vivo Communication Technology and Oppo Mobile Telecommunications. Moreover, the Shenzhen-based tech giant made up more than half of all 5G phone sales, followed by Vivo, Oppo, and Xiaomi.
It's not all over for Apple. Both Apple and Huawei managed to boost their market shares from the same period of last year, wrote Senior Analyst Ethan Qi. The California-headquartered firm's iPhone sales slid 1 percent while peers' suffered double-digit declines, he added.

[Exclusive] Huawei's Participation in 5G Talks 'Should Benefit Everyone,' Security Chief Says

[Exclusive] Huawei's Participation in 5G Talks 'Should Benefit Everyone,' Security Chief Says
(Yicai Global) May 7 -- A possible change of US rules to allow American companies and Huawei Technologies to work together on developing fifth-generation wireless network standards should help everyone, according to the chief security officer at the Chinese telecom firm's US arm.
The potential rule change "should benefit everyone who cares about these technologies," Andy Purdy said in an interview with Yicai Global.
The US commerce department is "close to signing off on a new rule" to let US firms take part in 5G standards bodies in which Huawei is present, Reuters reported yesterday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Last May, Shenzhen-based Huawei was placed on the US Bureau of Industry and Security’s so-called Entity List, which limits US firms from doing business with the Chinese hardware and software provider.
Any shift on cooperation over 5G standards "is unrelated to questions about who Huawei can sell to or buy from," Purdy said.
US firms have had to withdraw from some talks to protect their technologies, which has been to their disadvantage while giving Huawei more room to voice its views on what the international standards should look like, Gartner analyst Liu Yi told Yicai Global.
"Setting up standards requires exchanges and discussions," Liu said. "How can a consensus be reached if companies cannot express their opinions, demonstrate, and debate?"
The US government wants companies to remain competitive, Naomi Wilson, senior director of Asian policy at the US Information Technology Industry Council, told Yicai Global. But silencing US companies would have the opposite effect, she added.

Huawei sets up '5G automobile ecosphere'
Huawei said it has set up a "5G automobile ecosphere", aimed at accelerating 5G's commercial use in auto industry, the Securities Times reported on Monday.
According to the paper, the "5G automobile ecosphere" is a result of cooperation between Huawei and 18 automakers, including the First Automobile Group, Chang'an Automobile, Dongfeng Motor Corporation, SAIC Motor Corporation, Guangzhou Automobile Group, BYD Auto, Great Wall Motors, Chery Holdings and JAC Motors.
The paper said the "ecosphere" can possibly be expanded in the future, where Huawei takes the 18 automakers as the first batch partners.
As a leading player in the 5G field, the "5G automobile ecosphere" is a meaningful attempt that Huawei manages to enlarge its advantage in the 5G field, and exploits car-to-internet market by providing automakers with vehicle-mounted 5G module MH5000 and car-carried terminal T-Box and services, said the paper.
Huawei shows greater ambition in self-driving. The "5G automobile ecosphere" will probably first benefit self-driving where 5G's low latency meets imperative technical requirement in self-driving. "The ultimate goal of ours is to achieve thorough self-driving," Huawei's Rotating Board of Director, Xu Zhijun said last year. "We can accomplish everything that Tesla is now doing."
The "5G automobile ecosphere" is one step of Huawei's "1 8 N" strategy, as 1 refers to smartphone, 8 refers to car-mounted computer, smart speaker, earphone, watch/wrist band, tablet, big screen, PC and AR/VR. N stands for other devices of Internet of Things.

The following article gives some insight on how Huawei's approach is different than that of Tesla, google, etc.
Quote:
Huawei’s C-V2X (Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything) system includes roadside units that connect traffic lights, cameras, and speed limit signs.
Tesla and google's approach is to make the car smart (as smart as human) in driving the car.
Huawei's approach is to make the whole driveway system smart (in addition to the cars).
Tesla and Google are not a telecom company. So they don't have the capability. But Huawei can. Huawei is going to make the whole driving system a global communication network. Every traffic lights, street signs, (probably even construction cones) will behave like a celphones. Everything are talking with everything else.
Eventually, Huawei's approach is going to be much safer.

Huawei 5G to roll out in 120 car models, starting with BYD Han EV in June
Huawei’s 5G-based HiCar technology is not just another auto infotainment system. It’s more like an interface to the car’s core operating system and a vehicle-to-X channel to the road. HiCar will first appear on the BYD Han EV in June, before arriving in models from about 30 different auto brands.
Analysts view 5G adoption in cars (and roads) as the ultra-fast communications backbone to autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and the internet of things. It also provides in-vehicle features such as controlling windows, locks, AC, and streaming media.
BYD, China’s largest EV maker, will use Huawei’s HiCar technology in its upgraded Han flagship electric sedan starting in June. The Han EV expected to have a starting price of about $40,000 — similar to the cost of a Tesla Model 3 in China. It shares some of the same styling as well.
But that’s just the beginning of the rollout of Huawei’s 5G into vehicles. Huawei has signed up about 18 different automakers to use HiCar. The company has been working with Audi. BYD also has a big tie-up with Toyota to make EVs. China and Japan are also collaborating on next-gen DC fast-charging standards.
Other Chinese automakers, many of them producers of EVs, include Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Co., Beijing Automotive Industry Holding, Chang’an Automobile, Chery Automobile Co., Dongfeng Motor, FAW Group, Great Wall Motors, Guangzhou Automobile Group, Nanjing Automobile, and SAIC Motor.
The Han EV is equipped with BYD’s latest lithium iron phosphate batteries in multiple pack sizes, providing up to about 375 miles of range (in the NEDC test cycle). It travels to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. The BYD Han is available in single-motor and dual-motor configurations. The Han flagship model is also available as a plug-in hybrid.
BYD Han EV
Among battery makers in China, BYD was ranked second with 10.76 GWh capacity, behind battery giant CATL. The company claims that its blade-shaped design increases space utilization by more than 50% compared to other pack layouts — and that it’s safer than competing designs.
A conspiracy theorist could have a field day with Huawei’s incursion into cars. Huawei Technologies is the world’s largest telecommunications equipment supplier. (The Trump administration added the company to the US blacklist in its trade war with China.)
According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China has deployed nearly 200,000 5G base stations across the country. About 500,000 5G base stations are expected to be deployed nationwide by the end of this year. Installing hundreds of thousands of connected EV charging stations is part of the same Internet of Cars initiative.
Huawei’s C-V2X (Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything) system includes roadside units that connect traffic lights, cameras, and speed limit signs.
Huawei has not expressed interest in making cars, but instead in becoming the central 5G communication systems for automobiles and the built environment. This could pave the way for ubiquitous smart autonomous driving systems.
In January, Huawei signed up with Dutch Sat Nav provider TomTom to pull away from Google systems.
Huawei is known to have developed extensive AI systems for autonomy and cloud-based communications, and integrating those systems into an automotive ecosystem. APIs can link camera data to core vehicle systems, including steering, as well as driver-monitoring systems. The robotaxi fleet from autonomous driving startup AutoX recently started operations in Shanghai, where the roads come equipped with C-V2X systems.

Huawei Atlas 900 AI Cluster Wins the Only Best of Show Award for AI at Interop Tokyo 2020
[Tokyo, Japan, June 5, 2020] The jury panel at Interop Tokyo 2020 has given the Huawei Atlas 900 AI cluster the Best of Show Award in recognition of its powerful AI computing and superior heat dissipation. Huawei Atlas 900 is the only AI product of 2020 to receive the Best of Show Award. The exceptional performance of Atlas 900 is a catalyst for global AI research and drives AI application across industries.
The Best of Show Award is the highest honor of the Interop conference. Only products which meet the high standards of quality demanded by the Japanese IT market are considered.
Tony Xu, President of Huawei Ascend Computing, said, "The Huawei Atlas AI computing solution provides powerful computing and ultimate energy efficiency for all AI scenarios across devices, the edge, and the cloud. The Atlas 900 AI cluster provides data centers with powerful computing, high linearity, and the best energy efficiency to accelerate data-intensive research, such as astronomical exploration, weather prediction, oil exploration, and gene sequencing. Research breakthroughs translate into practical benefits for people worldwide."
Atlas 900 is the fastest AI training cluster in the world. It delivers a total computing power of 256 to 1024 petaFLOPS at half precision (FP16), equivalent to the computing power of 500,000 personal computers. Atlas 900 shattered the world record on the ResNet-50 benchmark test for model training by completing training in 59.8 seconds. Atlas 900 is the only product capable of completing the training in under a minute. Atlas 900 has broad applications in scientific research and business innovation for faster training of AI models with images and videos.
Atlas 900 integrates three interfaces for high-speed interconnection: Huawei Cache Coherence System (HCCS), PCIe 4.0, and 100G Ethernet. The Atlas 900 AI cluster leverages the Huawei CloudEngine data center switches to work on a 100 TB/s full-mesh, non-blocking dedicated network for parameter synchronization. The network slashes parameter synchronization latency by 10 to 70 percent to streamline AI model training.

By John H Junior
Posted on July 13, 2020
[Press Release] On July 13, 2020, Huawei announced its business results for the first half of 2020. The company generated CNY454 billion ($64.8 billion) in revenue during this period, a 13.1% increase year-on-year, with a net profit margin of 9.2%.
Huawei’s carrier, enterprise, and consumer businesses achieved CNY159.6 billion ($22.8 billion), CNY36.3 billion ($5.1 billion), and CNY255.8 billion ($36.5 billion) in revenue, respectively.
As countries around the globe are grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic, information, and communications technologies (ICT) have become not only a crucial tool for combatting the virus, but also an engine for economic recovery.
Huawei reiterated its commitment to working with carriers and industry partners to maintain stable network operations, accelerate digital transformation, and support efforts to contain local outbreaks and reopen local economies.
The complex external environment makes open collaboration and trust in global value chains more important than ever. Huawei has promised to continue fulfilling its obligations to customers and suppliers and to survive, forge ahead, and contribute to the global digital economy and technological development, no matter what future challenges the company faces.

Huawei to manufacture its own chipsets starting with 45nm technology without U.S. components
By Deng Li
Posted on August 13, 2020
Huawei Consumer BG head Richard Yu has recently confirmed that Huawei will stop printing its high-end Kirin chipset design after September. In the meantime, the company seems to has plans to kick start its own chipset production.
According to a tipster from Weibo, Huawei is working with several companies and required material manufacturers in the semiconductor industry supply chain to build its own semiconductors manufacturing line.
The company is aiming to build its won chip fab, Integrated circuit chips, and chip manufacturing plant to print its semiconductor designs without requiring U.S. equipment and components.
Currently, Huawei’s semiconductor division – HiSilicon has the experience of chip designs but it cannot print those designs on wafers due to the restrictions on business with TSMC and it’s the only big challenge that Huawei need to face in order to make its own chipsets.
According to the source, Huawei will first begin with 45nm (nanometer) process technology that will be ready by the end of this year. Aside from 45nm, Huawei has also planned to build a 28nm manufacturing line.
Meanwhile, Huawei has not officially confirmed or announced such news via its official platforms but the work seems that this whole project is going behind the doors.
45nm and 28nm are good choices to begin for the Chinese tech giant but we cannot deny the fact that big chipmakers such as TSMC and Samsung already planning to build chips based on 3nm node. Therefore, Huawei must have to go through a long road and an R&D process particularly on the semiconductor section to achieve its manufacturing goals.

Good luck Huawei !

There’s no way this could be commercialized profitably, they could do with acquiring snapdragon but 45 or 28nm chips, they stand no chance in today’s market
