There are two major network reds in the communications industry today: one is Huawei; the other is 5G. People red is not much, especially the two net red collisions, it is even more eye-catching.

For example, Li Zhengmao, vice president of China Mobile, talked about how to resolve the three major problems of 5G construction in a forum. He said that the number of base stations and the power consumption of single stations have been solved. The only problem to be solved is that the 5G base station is more expensive than the 4G.

President Li’s words were not true, saying that the resolution of 5G base station deployment is high, and the network is built in the low frequency band of 2.6G. Is the mobile 4.9G band ready to be abandoned? The two brother operators can only cry on 3.5G? It is said that the solution to high energy consumption is to deploy 64-channel base stations to 32 channels or even 16 channels. The problem is that the number of channels is degraded, the coverage of single stations is narrowed, and the density of base station deployment is not high.

In particular, the third 5G base station has a high cost. President Li gave the pot to the industry chain, saying that it depends on the industry to mature and the scale is bigger

and “a more friendly relationship with manufacturers and suppliers”, so that the cost is reduced as soon as possible.


The mainstream 5G base station in the industry consensus is 64-channel or 32-channel equipment, and the 4G base station is only 16 channels at the maximum. At the same time, to support more channels, the transmission power of the 5G base station is increased to 160W, 200W, or even 320W. The newly added hardware costs are clearly placed here

How to increase the number of stations to be built, can’t reach the level of 4G network in a short time? Then why not ask for the 5G price reference 4G base station level? What about the cost of software development that supports 5G new features? Also said that price cuts depend on “better partnerships” with manufacturers and

Working together in the industry chain? The question is, is the 5G base station industry chain okay?

Sure enough, there is a big god jumping out of the comment area, directly opening the bottom pants, pulling the net red Hua to show the crowd.

The Great God moved to give Huawei a 70% share. In the end, I hope Huawei can lower the price. I don’t have to worry about my head: 5G was originally built by Huawei for several years. Strategic highland, it is hard to start fishing with the big net by the Dongfeng. You come to talk with Huawei about price cuts.

Huawei deputy director Hu Houkun said: As early as 10 years ago, Huawei has invested 600 million U.S. dollars in 5G research. In the past 10 years, it has spent 4 billion U.S. dollars on R&D investment in 5G.10 billion yuan to develop 5G. So much money went down and I got what the boss called.

The advantage of 5G technology that “others can’t catch up in two or three years” is a good time to sprint and enjoy the harvest. Why should we sell 5G to operators?

And the boss has clearly stated that “Huawei 5G price is much more expensive than Ericsson and Nokia”, Huawei “resolutely sells like Apple”, is not to other manufacturers Squeeze dead. Ericsson, Nokia and ZTE, the three little brothers, have heard this statement have been moved to tears, right? With such a derogatory leader, how can the 5G industry chain not respond to Zheng Mao’s call for “joint efforts”?

The united 5G base station industry chain will inevitably have outsiders to provoke right and wrong. Known as “communication professionals”, Weibo Da V Ocam razor teacher is full of enthusiasm, do not know where to go to the business hall to do research, come back for the operator to complain about the government intervention market: Huawei’s equipment is cheap and quality Well, the government does not require operators to spend more money on foreign equipment!
