Mobile communications Deployment Europe lags behind China and America

At the beginning of the March World Action Communications Conference (MWC) more and more near, 5G is undoubtedly one of the hot spots, the current countries or regions are competing for 5G standard-setting right, in fact, mainly in the United States and Europe between the three, but Europe may be in the 5G standard to become a supporting role.

Mobile communications Deployment Europe lags behind China and America

The United States is a country in central and western Europe to deploy LTE network, as early as 2009 US telecom operators Verizon began to build the LTE network, 2011 At&t also began to build the LTE network, until 2013, the United States are the world's largest and most users of LTE network deployment countries.

China deploys LTE network from behind. 2014 China began commercial 4G network, last December at China Mobile Global Partner Conference, its general manager Li said the number of 4G base stations has reached 650,000, become the world's largest 4G network. China Mobile plans to continue building a 4G base station this year, with 1 million 4G base stations expected by the end of the year.

The European market has lagged far behind the US and China in the deployment of LTE networks, which, since the economic crisis of 2008, has led to slow economic recovery due to austerity measures introduced this year to stimulate the economy, but the European economy is hard to be optimistic, which will lead to the European market in the LTE network is lagging behind the

Europe's communications industry has lagged behind China and America

The European communications industry is lagging behind. Europe's Siemens mobile phones and Ericsson phones have disappeared; Ericsson has ceded the throne of the world's largest device maker to Huawei, which has lost both profits and revenues to Huawei, and, in terms of the number of LTE patents, combined with statistics, Ericsson has lagged behind China's Huawei and US Qualcomm.

The United States still has a strong position in the communications industry. Qualcomm is the mobile phone chip industry's hegemony, Apple is the world's most influential mobile phone companies, the United States companies to monopolize the 3G standard patent, but in the era of LTE, US companies Qualcomm, InterDigital, etc. still occupy a dominant position in the global communications companies to pay royalties to them.

China's communications industry is in the ascendant stage. If the above Huawei company surpasses Ericsson to become the world biggest equipment business, one of the top five equipment makers in the world is ZTE, and Huawei's Heiss last year unveiled a new LTE phone chip to keep up with Qualcomm, the third-largest chip company in the global market share. China's mobile phone brand won a breakthrough last year to win about 40% of the world's market share.

5G standards may be developed between China and the United States

Europe is the leader of GSM in mobile communications technology, and China has chosen GSM to promote GSM's prosperity as the first big 2G standard of global fact. 3G era, the United States Qualcomm monopolized the introduction of CDMA technology CDMA2000 standards, while China and Europe to launch their own TD-SCDMA, WCDMA standards, but the United States Qualcomm in China and Europe, the 3G standard still has a strong patent advantage.

4G standard-setting process, China and Europe successfully cooperated to set LTE as the 4G standard, while the U.S. main push of UMB and WiMAX successively failed, and central Europe thus reduced the U.S. enterprises in the 4G standard patent advantage!

U.S. companies do not have access to LTE standards, but because of its early LTE standards in the core technology of OFDM layout so still gain a larger voice, Flarion company began to develop OFDM technology in 2000, Qualcomm in 2005 will flarion company revenue in the bag According to the ETSI and Taiwan Institute of Research Institute Statistics of LTE patent data, Qualcomm is still the number of LTE patents first manufacturers.

China-EU cooperation has set a 4G standard, but in the 4G high-speed mobile network development and communications industry, Europe has lagged behind China and the United States, coupled with the European economy is not optimistic, or will lead to difficulties in Europe and the United States to compete for 5G standard-setting rights.

At the end of 2013, the United States had made progress in the next generation of large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed a resolution last October to use ultra-high-frequency wireless bands for 5g;2013 years by the Ministry of Industry, the NDRC and the Department of Science and Technology to set up 5) Propulsion group The Chinese forces participate in the 5G standard formulation, China has become the world's largest communications market, Huawei actively participates in promoting the development of 5G standards.

The EU has invited Chinese companies to take part in European investment plans to revive Europe, including cooperation in the development of 5G technology, relative to China's domestic power to boost the 5G. Based on the above reality, Europe or in the 5G standard-setting to become a supporting role of China and the United States, 5G standard-setting right competition or between the United States and China.
