Huawei Launches Site Cloud for the First Time in Russia and Signs MoU with Tower Companies
Apr 26, 2019
[Moscow, Russia, April 26, 2019] During its first Global 5G Ultra-Lean Site Forum event at the Russia Mobile Network Infrastructure Ecosystem Forum 2019, Huawei launched its Site Cloud platform in the Russian market. The platform boosts integration and sharing of resources and the construction of a new Open Site ecosystem.
Huawei launches Site Cloud for the first time in Russia.
Site Cloud integrates current global information about existing sites and potential sites (including public resources such as electrical poles, lamp poles, billboards, and supermarkets) into one integrated platform that allows cloud sharing of site information. When considering where to construct a site, operators can find and select the most suitable site location in Site Cloud, which helps them quickly deploy their networks.
Zhao Lei, Huawei Russia CNBG CEO, said: "As we get ever-closer to the arrival of the 5G era, operators will face many challenges when first deploying 5G networks. These challenges include restricted space and load bearing for sites, difficulty in site acquisition, long deployment cycles, and high operating expenses, among others. Regulators, operators, equipment providers, and tower companies should urgently and actively cooperate to create Open Sites. Only by doing so can they deploy 5G quickly and create mutually beneficial businesses."
Geng Fei, Huawei's Vice President of Wireless and Cloud Core Network Marketing, said: "Huawei is helping Russian network operators construct simplified, green, and upgradeable 5G sites through innovative solutions that include antenna, baseband, radio frequency, energy power, and transmission solutions. At the same time, our launch of Site Cloud in the Russian market will boost resource integration and sharing and create a win-win ecosystem. This will accelerate large-scale deployment of 5G and increase investment efficiency."
During the conference, Huawei's SVP of Eurasia Marketing & Solution Sales, Lu Libo, on behalf of Huawei, signed a MoU with Russian tower operator Service Telecom, Prime Telecom, and pole facility partner Vitrulux to create an alliance that will cooperate on a wide range of site-related issues.
Huawei signs MoU with Russian infrastructure companies.
Meanwhile, the Moscow municipal government also detailed the strategies it has taken to accelerate 5G's deployment based on increasing access to municipal administration resources and simplifying processes. These strategies have further improved social infrastructure, boosted sharing of public resources, and reduced industry investment overlap.
The 2019 Global 5G Ultra-Lean Site Forum has kicked off. The forum will hold high-level conferences in Middle East, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa. The conferences will provide the industry with a platform for comprehensive, high-level, and multilateral discussions between operators' executives and 5G industry partners.
The Forum aims to allow operators to achieve business success by providing a space for the executives and industry partners to exchange innovative views, share successful experiences, explore sustainable development models for the 5G industry, discuss solutions for business innovation and quick deployment, and examine ways of protecting investments to the highest extent possible.

In 2018, Huawei spent $15.3 billion on technology R&D, ranking in fourth place following Samsung, Google's parent Alphabet and Amazon. Data also showed the company took 14 percent of its annual sales on research last year, the second-highest after Alphabet.
Huawei's R&D spending totaled 480 billion yuan ($71.3 billion) over the past 10 years, according to its annual report. Besides, the tech behemoth achieved 721.2 billion yuan in global sales in 2018, a 19.5 percent increase year-on-year, and net profit reached 59.3 billion yuan, up 25.1 percent compared with a year earlier.
Smartphone sales from the company gained 348.9 billion yuan last year, a 45.1 percent rise year-on-year accounting for 48.4 percent of total revenue.
As of April 15, Huawei has secured 40 commercial contracts for 5G equipment and shipped over 70,000 5G base stations, the company announced at its annual Global Analyst Summit.
The telecoms leader will also invest $300 million annually to support academic research on basic science, technology and technological innovation, said Xu Wenwei, Huawei's director of the board and president of the company's newly established Institute of Strategic Research.

China Telecom and Huawei Make 5G Shine at Beijing Expo 2019
Apr 29, 2019
[Beijing, China, April 29, 2019] China Telecom and Huawei are working together to provide an end-to-end 5G network for Beijing Expo 2019, a world horticultural exposition presented by the Bureau International des Expositions and held in Beijing’s Yanqing District. The expo opens on April 29 and runs through October 7, 2019.
Nearly 110 countries and international organizations as well as over 120 non-official exhibitors are participating in the expo, which is a record number of exhibitors. The Beijing Expo is also the first to use 5G technology. China Telecom and Huawei are teaming up to provide an end-to-end 5G network for the expo offering an unprecedented combination of garden art and 5G mobile edge computing(MEC) technology that will provide visitors with a new experience of 360-degree panoramic UHD video VR live broadcasting, 5G+VR live broadcasting, and 5G cloud gaming.
The 360-degree panoramic UHD VR live broadcasting uses cameras on UAVs and ground systems to deliver impressive 360-degree panoramic views of the expo. Due to the restricted bandwidth and long latency, VR may cause people to feel dizzy when playing it. In addition, VR has high requirements on graphics rendering so that servers need to be deployed locally to provide sufficient computing and rendering capabilities. The cloud service processing platform deployed at the network edge is used to achieve high rendering and low latency, in combination with 5G-native ultra-high bandwidth and MEC. The platform processes video images and UHD videos at a high speed to greatly reduce the latency in sending videos back to screens and VR head-mounted displays (HMDs), delivering an immersive panoramic experience for visitors and viewers anytime, anywhere.
Gamers often encounter game lag or freezing when playing traditional games. The 5G cloud gaming deployed in the telecom pavilion at the expo makes full use of 5G MEC to distribute data traffic to the local nodes of the cloud gaming platform for traffic processing and termination, delivering a new gaming experience from the virtual local area network with ultra-low latency and ultra-high bandwidth.
The Beijing Expo leverages ultra-high bandwidth and ultra-low latency of 5G and MEC to deliver a visual experience to visitors that embodies the perfect combination of culture, tourism, and 5G. MEC widely applies to many fields and has a promising future for gaming, health care, education, energy, manufacturing, and other fields. MEC will be a key for digital transformation of carriers.
China Telecom has established long-term cooperation with Huawei in MEC innovation and R&D to jointly promote the development of the MEC industry, broaden the industry ecosystem, and unleash the technology’s business value.

Huawei reaches all-time high market share in Q1 2019
Hours after IDC published its report on global smartphone shipments, Counterpoint also sent out a press release with its findings. The readings are similar and confirm an ongoing trend - Huawei keeps gaining market share and has just reached an all-time high piece of the shipments pie - whopping 17%.
However, the total shipments are 345 million or 5% less than an year ago, revealing a declining demand for new smartphones.
Huawei was really proud when it became the second biggest smartphone company in the world and announced plans that it wants the top spot by 2021. It looks like the Shenzhen manufacturer is poised to snatch it, unless something catastrophic happens. Looking at Samsung and Apple, they lost respectively 1% and 2% of market share, meaning Huawei devoured smaller competitors.
The rest of the Top 5 is completed by Xiaomi, which kept pretty much the same amount of devices shipped YoY, and Oppo, which saw a 10% increase. The other BBK Electronics’ subsidiary vivo also deserves a mention with the staggering 27% grow.
In absolute numbers, Samsung shipped 72 million phones, Apple moved 42 million iPhones, and Xiaomi, Oppo, and vivo also kept an eight-digit tally. They all account for 245.1 million shipped devices, which is over 70% of the global amount.
The market is clearly marginalizing with every quarter, with former megastars like HTC and Sony nowhere to be seen today, and LG slowly following their path with a 40% drop in just a year.

I think that's impossible. Unlike Japan, China is not a politically-dogged and leashed country.
The US regime is in desperation mode at the moment. So, I think most of the "deal" will be just going back to the good old days.
Of course, US regime will be given few face-saving promises so that their populist needs are satisfied.
That's the highest favor China will do for the US regime.
Bring in more competition.
Huawei should never ease up at the moment as there has been immense free advertising by the US regime.

Pretty much every evidence indicates that it is China that is in desperation.
Firstly, China didn't even impose equal sanctions when US imposed tariffs worth 200 Billion USD of imports. Then just to agree to talks, China took back even the actions that it took on agriculture, and car imports.
All indications are that China is willing to give a lot of concessions here on.
That you can't see that is just your blindness.

That would be the fastest way Xi will get deposed. Britain, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Thailand, India, South Korea and the whole of Eastern Europe have rejected American demands. Why surrender when winning? Besides by 2024
All US Debt Issuance Will Be Used To Pay For Interest On Debt.
China should wait.

China will wait. The US is in desperation mode. However, the latest round of talks did not produce much result, as it seems. I guess the process will be dragged on for a while.

Italy rolls out welcome mat for Huawei despite US pressure
Xinhua | Updated: 2019-05-03

ROME - Italy is resisting pressure from the United States by allowing Chinese telecommunications equipment maker Huawei Technologies to participate in the rollout of its 5G telecommunications network.
Last month, Sweden's Ericsson and former Italian state telecommunications monopoly Telecom Italia inaugurated Italy's first 5G-connected airport at Rome's Fiumicino, the country's largest. But the rollout is just getting started.
During a visit to China in late April, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte vowed that Huawei would not face any discrimination in Italy. During his visit, Conte met with Huawei Chief Executive Ren Zhengfei in Beijing.
"I told him we have adopted some precautions, some measures to protect our interests and that these demand extremely high levels of security," Conte said, according to Italian media reports. "But this is not just for Huawei, but for any company looking to join the 5G rollout."
Shorthand for "fifth generation", 5G refers to high-speed digital cellular networks that can support up to a million devices per square kilometer, compared to only around 4,000 devices per square kilometer for the previous generation service.
According to Raffaele Barberio, founder and director of Key4Biz, an online magazine focusing on the digital economy, the biggest use of 5G technologies is industrial.
There are just a few major companies in the world selling 5G radio hardware and 5G systems for carriers: Huawei and ZTE in China, Finland's Nokia, Samsung in South Korea and Ericsson in Sweden. Huawei is the largest of them, but the company is under scrutiny after the United States said that it would not use Huawei equipment because of security fears, and it encouraged its allies to follow suit.
"Every company has its security risks, every company is trying to do the same thing," Barberio told Xinhua in a recent interview. "But Italy cannot do the rollout without Huawei. The company has a quarter of the patents for 5G technology. If Italy sticks with the European companies it's just Nokia and Ericsson, and the rollout will be slower and the prices higher."
Innocenzo Genna, co-founder of Digit@lians, a network for professionals working in digital fields, agreed with Conte that Huawei should be able to participate in Italy's 5G rollout on equal footing with other multinational companies.
"Huawei's problem is a public relations problem," Genna said on Thursday. "Are there vulnerability risks with Huawei? Yes, there are, but that is true of every company."
Genna said it was important for Italy to be open to Huawei.
"Italy has a unique position among major western countries when it comes to China," Genna said, referring to Italy becoming one of the latest European countries to sign on to China's Belt and Road Initiative.

Huawei to introduce the world's first 5G 8K TV this year: source
By Pan Zhaoyi - 03-May-2019
Chinese tech giant Huawei is reportedly to unveil the world's first 5G television as early as this year in an attempt to compete in the global high-end consumer electronics market, sources familiar with the plan told the
Nikkei Asian Review. No official announcement has been made by Huawei so far.
The TV is said to have a 5G module and an 8K resolution display, which allows the user to download data-heavy contents in ultra-fast speed and watch them with 16 times more pixels than the current 1,080-pixel ultrahigh-definition (UHD) display.

Compared to the traditional TV connected to the cable box or the optical fiber pipe, the 5G TV will able to stream remote content directly with its 5G modem.
According to 5G.co.uk, the current global TV and video market served by cable, satellite, and IPTV is thought to be worth more than 500 billion U.S. dollars. With the mature 5G technology, the current TV broadcast market is to be revolutionized.

The wireless connectivity provided by the 5G network makes it possible for TV content to be broadcast on various mobile devices without the need for a Wi-Fi connection.
The TV broadcasts will be available to a range of screen types under ultra-efficient and 10-times-faster speed than that of the mobile broadband.
However, before the 5G TV arrives in people's homes, many other factors in related industries have to pave the way.

Regarding specific 5G TV broadcasting standards, 3GPP, the organization that governs cellular standards, issued a release on October 14, 2017, which provided "improved support for television services to both mobile devices and stationary TV sets over eMBMS (enhanced multimedia broadcast and multicast system over LTE) and unicast," enabling mobile operators to deliver superior television services over their network.
Early this year, the China Media Group (CMG) teamed up with China Mobile, the domestic carrier, and Huawei, to successfully carry out the first test of 4K UHD video transmission using a 5G-based network in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province.
The 2019 Spring Festival Gala, the most watched TV program in China, was also aired via the 5G network.
Michael Goodman, director of TV and Media Strategies at Strategy Analytics told 5G.co.uk, "Television is already being transformed by new digital services like Netflix and Amazon. The arrival of 5G TV wireless services could herald another wave of TV disruption through the 2020s and beyond."
Huawei did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
