Huawei terminal chips have taken a cautious step toward the Internet of Things industry.

Huawei, which has not sold chips separately, has to sell chips. On October 15, Haisi, a subsidiary of Huawei , announced the launch of its first Huawei GT Cat4 platform Balong 711.

This chip was released in 2014 and has been applied to many products, with a cumulative global shipment of approximately 100 million units. Support LTE-FDD/LTE-TDD/WCDMA/GSM multi-mode system, which can provide network connection solutions for customers in the Internet of Things industry.

According to the official website of Haisi, Balong 711 chip is one of the earliest 4G Modem chips developed and has been certified by more than 100 mainstream operators worldwide. The Balong 711 chipset consists of three chips: the baseband chip Hi2152, the RF chip Hi6361, and the power management chip Hi6559.

Balong 711 chip supports Open CPU, which can reduce the development difficulty of the whole machine and accelerate the time to market of the whole machine. Specifically, the chip currently supports multiple Open CPU solutions for asset tracking, shared cycling, POS card swiping, and more. At the same time, the module has a variety of hardware interfaces, support Gigabit Ethernet, multi-channel UART, SDIO, PCM, PCIe and other interfaces, can be applied to industrial routing, car networking, new retail, sharing economy and other fields.

Based on Shanghai HiSili’s rich business chip platform, 4G Balong 711 can be used with video, TV, AI, WiFi and other chips to provide different solutions such as 4G+video/4G+AI/4G+TV/4G+WiFi. Meet the needs of the scene.

In addition, the chip’s operating temperature range is from minus 40 ° C to minus 85 ° C, suitable for industrial environments with high reliability requirements, such as the extremely cold outdoor scene in the north and the high temperature outdoor scene in the south. In high-speed mobile scenarios, such as high-speed rail, it can maintain good data transmission performance and adapt to power consumption requirements in complex environments.

Before this, Huawei’s thinking in the terminal chip business has always been “self-production”.

In September this year, Huawei’s consumer terminal CEO Yu Chengdong once stated that he would consider selling the Kirin processor. Yu Chengdong said that the current Kirin processors are self-produced and sold to Huawei for internal use, but they have begun to consider selling chips to other industries, such as the IoT field.

At that time, for the export of Kirin processors, Yu Chengdong said that Huawei is still hesitant and still considering it. For Huawei, the Kirin processor is China.One of the core advantages of competing for mobile phones with other brands of mobile phones is that there is a great risk of public sale. “Even if the Kirin processor is sold externally, it will be used first in areas such as IoT rather than in the smartphone field.”
