At the just-concluded "World Mobile Conference Shanghai Station", telecom operators, communication equipment vendors, and mobile phone manufacturers seem to be telling a topic - 5G, the enthusiasm of the global industry chain to chase 5G crazy seems to have infected ordinary consumers. In the current situation of the domestic mobile phone consumer market, the 5G mobile phone has become the target of Apple, Samsung, OPPO and Xiaomi R&D engineers, and mobile phone users are waiting for their next change target. —5G mobile phone.
The first 5G terminal "Qualcomm Manufacturing"
Who is the first to bring 5G mobile phones to consumers around the world? Is Apple, Huawei, or Samsung, Xiaomi, or even OPPO, Vivo?
In this regard, Qualcomm President Cristiano Amon told the IT Times reporter full confidence that with the completion of the first version of the global 5G standard, 5G New Air Port (NR) R15, including non-independent networking (NSA) And the standard freeze of the independent networking (SA), the entire global communications industry chain accelerates the progress of the 5G standard to the premise for one year. "At present, nearly 20 products have adopted different designs of the Xiaolong X50 modem, and in late December this year, 5G data and mobile broadband terminals will be the first to be listed, and more importantly, our partner program will release 5G smartphones from March to April 2019." For the development of 5G mobile phones using Qualcomm technology, Amon gives An accurate timetable.
Also at the "World Mobile Congress Shanghai Station", Huawei also gave accurate time to market for its 5G mobile phone program. Xu Zhijun, chairman of Huawei's rotating company, said that in 2019, Huawei will launch a 5G-supported Kirin chip, and in June 2019, it will launch a 5G-enabled smartphone.
Lin Yiyan, vice president of Intel's data center business unit and general manager of 5G network facilities department of network platform division, another global 5G chip manufacturer, revealed that Intel will launch 5G modem chip in mid-2019 as a consumer. I saw a 5G mobile phone with an Intel baseband chip.
Earlier this year, the Samsung Electronics Systems LSI Division revealed during the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that it is developing a 5G modem chip solution called Exynos 5G. According to industry analysts, Samsung’s habit of releasing the new Galaxy S series flagship machine at the beginning of each year is not likely to catch up with the release of the Samsung S10 early next year. Currently, Samsung has not revealed more information on its 5G chip development.
According to the information clearly disclosed by the current 5G leading manufacturers, the Android industry chain manufacturers that provide modem chips by Qualcomm will launch the first batch of 5G terminals worldwide.
5G mobile phone interoperability, Ready!
"The testing of mobile phone terminal manufacturers is in full swing." According to the relevant person in charge of Qualcomm, Qualcomm is also actively conducting industry-leading interoperability testing with numerous system vendors and global operators in the process of promoting 5G NR commercialization ( IoDT), Qualcomm has completed or is conducting interoperability testing of 5G new air interface with almost all major system equipment manufacturers around the world. "IoDT testing between Qualcomm and various communication equipment and terminal manufacturers is very successful, communication network equipment and terminal equipment. The interoperability test has been well verified. Only by implementing interconnection and interoperability can 5G be commercialized as soon as possible.” Through the “5G test platform” released by Qualcomm, industry chain vendors are conducting comprehensive testing before final commercial use. To ensure absolute compatibility and operability of the network and the terminal.
In the world's first officially released 5G data connection, the world's first 3GPP R15-based end-to-end 5G new air interface system interoperability, there is no shortage of Qualcomm. According to reports, Qualcomm released the Xiaolong X50 5G chipset, the industry's first 5G new air interface multimode modem can support 2G/3G/4G/5G multimode functions only through a single chip, including thousands of important supplements that will be 5G Mega-grade LTE supports almost all current and future communication systems. At the same time, 18 operators around the world, including China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom, are using the Qualcomm Xiaolong X50 5G modem for the 5G new air interface mobile test, including various 5G bands such as below 6GHz and millimeter wave band.
In June 2018, before and after the 5G independent networking standard freeze and the 5G commercial standard were finalized, Qualcomm completed the real network simulation experiment almost simultaneously in Tokyo, Japan, simulating the 5G new air interface network of independent networking, using 5G independent networking. Mode terminal is ready to go public.
Recently, Qualcomm and Datang Mobile jointly announced that the two parties will cooperate on the 5G new air interface interoperability test in the 3.5GHz band based on the 3GPP Release 15 standard, and the 3.5GHz band will be the most mainstream frequency band for the deployment of 5G by the three major operators in China. one. Earlier, Qualcomm also completed the industry's first 5G new air interface network and terminal simulation experiments in Frankfurt, Germany and San Francisco, USA, preparing for the mobile ecosystem by predicting the true performance of 5G.
"5G terminals with independent networking and non-independent networking will all appear in 2019." Qualcomm senior vice president and general manager of 4G/5G and Industrial IoT Serge Willenegger confirmed that terminals supporting 5G non-independent networking will be in 2019. It will appear in half a year, and the independent network terminal will appear in the second half of the year, and the time difference between the two is expected to be six months.
“Qualcomm is good at integrating various technologies and capabilities into one universal solution. In the 4G era, Qualcomm has been providing 7-mode (full Netcom) solutions for the Chinese market since very early and has achieved great success. I believe just like 4G. In the era, Qualcomm will be able to support the release of global 5G terminals through a universal solution.” SergeWillenegger looks to the Chinese market, according to the network retreat speed of the previous generation 2G, 3G, and other networks, if the Chinese market needs more than 10 modules in the 5G era, Then theoretically Qualcomm can provide technical support, which is also the power of Qualcomm's solution.
Qualcomm "leading", Chinese manufacturers go out to sea
In the summer of 2018, the Russian football World Cup was in full swing. As the official sponsor of the Russian World Cup, Vivo's flagship "vivo NEX" name appeared in front of fans around the world. In addition, Huawei signed Messi, OPPO grabbed Neymar, and domestic top mobile phone manufacturers did not pay much attention to the World Cup marketing.
Behind the domestic mobile phone manufacturers playing the "World Cup", they clearly write about their yearning for the global market. Since the World Cup is a business card that lets the world know Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, isn't it a flagship 5G mobile phone? In June 2003, the world's first 3G mobile phone Nokia 6650 came out; in March 2010, the world's first 4G mobile phone HTC EVO 4G was born; in 2019, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers will be determined to join the ranks of the world's first wholesale 5G mobile phones and terminals.
"Recalling the development of mobile communications, whether in the 3G or 4G era, Qualcomm is the first to introduce products for mainstream products, especially in China, our 4G products for the mainstream market actively supported the Chinese mobile terminal industry to 4G at that time. The rapid evolution. So when moving towards 5G, everyone has every reason to believe that Qualcomm will take the lead in bringing products to the mainstream market.” Christiano Amon, who just entered the European market for OPPO in Paris, France, said that In the Chinese market, or in a larger global market, Qualcomm will support Chinese mobile phone manufacturers to release and market 5G mobile phones at the fastest speed.
Amon introduced that in early 2018, Qualcomm's "5G pilot plan" was released. Lenovo, OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi, ZTE, and Wingtech all joined Qualcomm's "friend circle". Through this program, Qualcomm will provide top development for Chinese manufacturers. And the platform required for 5G commercial terminals around the world, "6 months ago, we cooperated with Xiaomi to help them enter the European market. Now, Xiaomi has achieved great success in Spain and gained more than 50% of the market within 6 months. Share. Recently, Qualcomm and vivo announced the successful cooperation in the development of mobile 5G millimeter wave antenna arrays. These are important milestones for Qualcomm and Chinese partners to cooperate on the 5G pilot program."
For the most frequently encountered resistance of Chinese mobile phone manufacturers when they go out to sea, Qualcomm also supports and helps through technology and cooperation. Last month, OPPO held a global launch of the flagship new machine Find X in Paris, France. Qualcomm President Christiano Amon also delivered a speech and expressed Qualcomm's willingness to cooperate with Chinese mobile phone manufacturers to promote the Chinese manufacturers' 5G terminals to the world. "OPPO Find X's Snapdragon 845 mobile platform is designed to bring AI, enhanced performance and excellent battery life. We look forward to OPPO Find X's great success in Europe. We are also very excited to work with OPPO. Bringing 5G smartphones to the European market in the near future."
Amon believes that the cooperation between Qualcomm and Chinese mobile phone manufacturers is very close and intimate, and such win-win cooperation has brought benefits to both parties. "With the arrival of 5G in 2019, we are very confident and ready for our Chinese partners to achieve great success in the global market." Amon said.
