In a twinkling of an eye, 3G becomes history; 4G is the mainstream; 5G is ready to go. The advent of smartphones has accelerated the revolution in communication technology. In just a few years, the multiplication of data transmission rates has made users full of expectations for high-speed network experience. The hot topic of 3G, 4G, 5G and even 6G has once remained high. For users, the arrival of 5G only means that the speed of mobile Internet access is faster; for the industry and even the enterprise, the arrival of 5G will mean the breakthrough of new technology, the coming of a new era. It is understood that 5G will officially come in 2020, so in the long process of technology research and development, which enterprises will become the forerunners of the 5G era? No hurry, Rong Xiaobian slowly came...

Qualcomm: Precise layout

As a leader in the 3G and 4G eras, Qualcomm is also a leader in 5G technology research and development. Since 2006, Qualcomm has begun to lay out 5G. In October 2016, Qualcomm launched its first 5G modem, the Opteron X50. In February 2017, Qualcomm announced that it will expand the Opteron X50 series to support the 5G new air interface multimode that complies with the 3GPP 5G new air interface (5G NR) global system. Chipset solution. In fact, whether it is 3G, 4G or 5G, Qualcomm has been an active participant and important contributor to 3GPP.

5G will officially come in 2020, which companies will be the forerunners of the 5G era?

In China, Qualcomm and ZTE and China Mobile jointly launched 5G new air interface experiments; in foreign countries, Qualcomm actively launched similar business cooperation and experiments in Korea, Japan and the United States. In terms of cooperation, Qualcomm adopts a patent authorization method to share technology with relevant cooperative enterprises and promote the progress of the entire industry.

At the beginning of 2018, Qualcomm has reached strategic partnerships with Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and Samsung to jointly promote the development of 5G technology. It should be noted that 5G technology involves a wide range of applications, but the two main areas are communication and mobile phones. For example, Qualcomm's cooperation with China Mobile and ZTE is the best proof of the layout of the communication field, with Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo. The cooperation is also paving the way for the future development of 5G technology in the mobile phone field. In addition, Qualcomm has different levels of contact with foundries, communications manufacturers and operators.

Of course, in 2017, Qualcomm's biggest trouble was Apple's lawsuit and Broadcom's acquisition proposal. Apple's lawsuit caused Qualcomm's revenue to decline to a certain extent. Broadcom's acquisition proposal made Qualcomm insiders feel guilty. In short, two things Continuous fermentation made Qualcomm exhausted. On the other hand, with the convening of the Qualcomm board of directors and the continued overweight of Broadcom, Qualcomm has gradually become passive.

No matter how Qualcomm develops, its role in the development of 5G is unquestionable. It can be expected that Qualcomm will occupy a place when the future 5G era is officially opened.

Samsung: Independent research and development excellence

In May 2013, Samsung implemented a 1Gbps download rate using beamforming technology in the 28GHz band. Then in October 2014, it achieved a download rate of 7.5 Gbps for fixed devices and a download rate of 1.2 Gbps on cars with a speed of 100 km per hour. In September 2016, at the China International Information and Communication Exhibition, Samsung announced the successful completion of the first phase of the 5G technology R&D test organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the IMT-2020 (5G) promotion group.

5G will officially come in 2020, which companies will be the forerunners of the 5G era?

In 2017, Samsung also demonstrated its decent strength in 5G technology. At the beginning of the year, it announced that its self-developed 5G RF chip was officially commercialized. At the end of the year, at the 4th World Internet Conference, Galaxy and labor with "quasi 5G" technology were demonstrated. Intelligent voice assistant Bixby. In addition, Samsung's 5G baseband and chip manufacturing processes are already ahead of the current 95%.

In December last year, Samsung and Japanese telecom giant KDDI Corp. joined hands and successfully realized data transmission under the 5G network on a train with a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. Samsung said that this test will lay the foundation for high-speed Wi-Fi networks in the car, and its security is higher than before. Samsung and KDDI successfully downloaded an 8K movie on the train through the 5G router installed in the car. At the same time, KDDI also said that it will continue to measure with 5G for Samsung to achieve the goal of launching 5G network in 2020.

Intel: Transformation is more than multi-flowering

Since the Intel CEO Ke Qicqi came to power, Intel's development focus has gradually shifted to the data center, which is evident from Intel's financial report data. At present, Intel's five major business divisions are: Client Computing Division (based on notebooks), Data Center Division (based on communications and enterprise clouds), and Internet of Things (including transportation, industry, and retail). Non-Volatile Solution Division (mainly producing products such as NAND flash memory) and Programmable Solutions Division.

In terms of revenue from revenues of various business units in recent years, in 2016, the proportion of the client computing division has dropped from 62% in 2014 to 55%, and shipments have decreased by 10% compared to 2015; The department has stabilized from 26% in 2014 to 30% in 2016, and shipments have also increased by about 8%.

In November 2017, Intel released the first 5G modem and introduced the first multimode commercial modem supporting 5G new air interface (5G NR) - Intel XMM8000 series, and LTE modem - Intel XMM7660. It is worth noting that this time is a whole year later than Qualcomm.

In addition, Intel and Huawei announced the launch of the 5G new air interface interoperability test based on the 3GPP standard. The two parties jointly verified the performance of a number of 5G new air interface technologies under the cooperation of end pipes. Not only that, Intel also demonstrated the commercial deployment solutions for MEC smart venues for 5G networks with China Unicom, Nokia Bell, and Tencent Cloud.

Huawei: Cooperation as the main development

In 2012, Huawei's 5G base station prototype download rate has reached 50Gbps; in 2013, Huawei announced investment in 5G related research and development; in August 2015, in the current network test, Huawei Mate7's TDD+ maximum speed is up to 300mbps; 2017 2 In the month, Huawei achieved a 10Gbps peak rate, an air interface delay of less than 1ms, and a 5G key performance indicator requirement of more than 1 million connections. At the same time, according to the industry, Huawei will actively launch a 5G trial commercial network with its partners this year, complete 5G interoperability testing in 2019, and officially commercialize in 2020.

5G will officially come in 2020, which companies will be the forerunners of the 5G era?

In recent years, Huawei has gradually recognized the importance of baseband development. Taking 2017 as an example, the birth of Kirin 970 has enabled Huawei to narrow the gap with Qualcomm, Intel and Samsung. Since the Kirin 970 supports LTE Cat.18 and 5-carrier aggregation, its download rate is almost the same as that of the Qualcomm Xiaolong X20.

Huawei’s rotating CEO said: “Huawei has been deeply involved in 5G technology for many years. It is expected that the Unicorn chip supporting 5G technology will be officially launched in 2019, and the smartphone supporting 5G will be launched simultaneously.”

Up to now, Huawei has established 5G strategic partnerships with dozens of carrier customers including Deutsche Telekom, China Mobile, Vodafone and Telefonica. In cooperation with various operators, Huawei also cooperates with 5G industry leaders on a global scale, including European and North American industries, automobile manufacturing and chip manufacturing.

summary:

It can be seen from the enterprise level that Qualcomm has an early layout and strong strength, and has already entered the first echelon of 5G technology research and development. Samsung, Intel and Huawei are close behind, belonging to the second echelon. At the same time, with the continuous shortening of 5G commercial forecasting time, the advantages of Qualcomm, Samsung, Intel and Huawei will become more and more obvious, and it is inevitable to become a pioneer.
