Huawei launches world’s first 5G chipsets
By He Weiwei

China's telecom giant Huawei has launched the world's first 5G chipsets "TIANGANG" at a presser in Beijing on January 24.

So far, the company has received 30 commercial contracts for 5G, and shipped over 25,000 5G base stations globally, according to Ryan Ding, CEO of Huawei's Carrier Business Group.

50% smaller & 21% less power consuming

Ding says the "TIANGANG" chipsets help make base stations over 50 percent smaller, 23 percent lighter, and 21 percent less power consuming. Their installation takes only half of the time compared with previous versions.

"Huawei now has industry-leading capabilities to deliver end-to-end 5G, with simplified 5G networks and simplified operations & maintenance (O&M)," says Ryan Ding. "We are leading the commercial rollout of 5G, and building a mature industry ecosystem."

The newest chipset is highly integrated with a 250-percent increase in computing capacity. It also supports the 200 MHz high spectral bandwidth. That means the chips will meet the higher demand of the Internet in the future.

This is a developing story.

Safe? Cell phones have not been truly safe since the invention of the cell phone. I have an EMF detector and mp3 players emit them, tablets emit them. And cell phones really emit them.

Don't use them alot. Keep it off in your front pocket if that is where you like to store it or on in your back pocket if on. Woman's purse is safer. The more Gs the more EMFs. When in your home, put it on speaker and don't have it next to your skull/ear. The less you use it the better, but there is not much of a tick up in brain cancer since cell phones, but they are still linked to increase risk of cancer. Stress can also reduce your balance and make you susceptible to cancer. Stress is worse than cell phones.

Huawei Launches World's First 5G Base Station Core Chip for Simplified 5G - Huawei
Jan 24, 2019

[Beijing, China, January 24, 2019] Huawei today launched world's first core chip specifically designed for 5G base stations, Huawei TIANGANG. At a 5G launch event in Beijing that doubled up as a pre-briefing for the MWC Barcelona 2019, Huawei announced the innovative chip that will support simplified 5G networks and large-scale 5G network deployment all over the world. To date, the company has won 30 commercial 5G contracts and shipped over 25,000 5G base stations globally.

Huawei is committed to taking complexity itself and creating simplicity for its customers. To this end, the company has invested heavily and continues to innovate. Its end-to-end 5G chips support networks of all standards and all bands (C band, 3.5G, and 2.6G), helping customers access the best wireless and microwave services. "Huawei has long been committed to investing in basic science and technology. We were the first to make breakthroughs in key technologies for large-scale 5G commercial use," said Ryan Ding, Huawei Executive Director of the Board and Carrier BG CEO. "Huawei now has industry-leading capabilities to deliver end-to-end 5G, with simplified 5G networks and simplified operations & maintenance (O&M). We are leading the commercial rollout of 5G, and building a mature industry ecosystem."

World's first 5G base station core chip

At today’s event, Huawei launched the industry's first 5G core chip, Huawei TIANGANG, with breakthroughs in integration, computing power, and spectral bandwidth. This chip is highly integrated, which means it can support large-scale integration of active power amplifiers (PAs) and passive antenna arrays into very small antennas. It also boasts super high computing capacity, with a 2.5-fold increase over previous chips. Using the latest algorithms and beamforming technology, a single chip can control up to 64 channels, which is the industry's highest standard. This chip also supports the 200 MHz high spectral bandwidth, getting ready for future network deployment.

This chip also brings revolutionary improvements in active antenna units (AAUs), with 50% smaller, 23% lighter, and 21% less power consuming base stations. 5G base stations can be deployed in just half the time it took to install a 4G base station. These features will help address issues such as site acquisition and network deployment costs.

Simplified 5G solutions for quick, large-scale 5G deployment globally

Huawei began rolling out commercial 5G networks in 2018. It took the lead in the launch of a full range of commercial 5G products, 5G field testing and verification, and large-scale 5G commercial use. As of the end of 2018, Huawei has completed all pre-commercial testing and verification for its 5G products in China, green lighting 5G for commercial use.

On January 9, 2019, Huawei's 5G blade base station was awarded a First Class Progress in Science and Technology Prize, in recognition of its major technological breakthroughs and a unified modular design. All base station units use the blade form factor, and different modules can be combined as needed, making 5G base station installation as simple and easy as building blocks.

"Huawei's full-series, all-scenario simplified 5G products enable ultimate 5G performance and experiences," said Yang Chaobin, President of Huawei 5G Network Product Line. "These products help significantly boost network deployment and O&M efficiency, and make 5G deployment easier than 4G."

AI for autonomous driving networks

Today, Huawei also launched the world's first data center switch with an AI brain. Boasting industry-leading performance, this switch enables zero Ethernet packet loss and end-to-end latency of less than 10 milliseconds. It consumes less than 8W of power while delivering more computing capacity than 25 mainstream two-way CPU servers combined.

Huawei has also introduced its full-stack, all-scenario AI technologies to enable an autonomous driving network, and developed the SoftCOM AI solution to help operators maximize energy efficiency, network performance, O&M efficiency, and user experiences.

During the event, Richard Yu, Huawei Executive Director of the Board and Consumer BG CEO, also announced the world's fastest 5G multi-mode device chip and commercial devices.

MWC 2019 runs from February 25 to 28 in Barcelona, Spain. Huawei is showcasing its products and solutions at booth 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1, booth 3I30 in Hall 3, the Innovation City zone in Hall 4, and booth 7C21 and 7C31 in Hall 7.

BEIJING — Chinese tech giant Huawei announced plans Wednesday to release a next-generation smartphone based on its own technology instead of US components, stepping up efforts to compete with Western industry leaders.

Huawei Technologies Ltd, the biggest global supplier of network switching gear for phone companies, is spending heavily to develop its own chip technology, an area where American vendors are global leaders. That can help reduce Huawei's multibillion-dollar annual bill for components and the risk of disruptions of US supplies.

The handset billed by Huawei as the first foldable fifth-generation smartphone will be unveiled next month at the industry's biggest annual event, the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, said Richard Yu, CEO of the company's consumer unit.

The phone is based on Huawei's Kirin 980 chipset and Balong 5000 modem instead of components from traditional suppliers such as US-based Qualcomm Inc.

Sales of Huawei smartphones and other consumer products showed "no influence" from Western security warnings and rose more than 50 percent last year, Yu told reporters. He said his unit's sales topped US$52 billion, or more than half the US$100 billion in annual revenue the company has forecast for 2018. Huawei has yet to release 2018 financial results for the whole company.

"In this complicated political environment, we still maintain strong growth," Yu said.

Huawei still relies heavily on Intel Corp and other US suppliers but has developed its own increasingly powerful chips for smartphones and servers. The company uses its chipsets only in its own products.

Qualcomm has a vastly larger array of products and patents for smartphone chips but Huawei is catching up, said Xi Wang of IDC.

"Generally speaking, Huawei's chips are equal to Qualcomm chips in performance," said Wang. "Not only at the mid-level but at the high end, Huawei can compete with Qualcomm."

Huawei's smaller Chinese rival, ZTE Corp, was nearly driven into bankruptcy last year after the Washington cut off access to US technology over its exports to Iran and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). President Donald Trump restored access after ZTE paid a US$1 billion fine and agreed to replace its executive team and install US-chosen compliance officers.

Wednesday's announcement reflects mounting efforts by Chinese companies to develop technology to compete with Western rivals and reduce reliance on imported know-how.

Congratulations to China and Huawei. You seem to have conquered a global market. It is precisely, and not unpredictably for that reason that i caution the rest of the world not to lag behind. Especially when it comes to educating our own youngsters in the tech professions. We need everything ranging from kindergartens, to highschools, to gymnasium level, specific schools for for instance cybertech, in every semi-major city.
