The top of the 5G patent list is none other than Huawei, and the strength of another "giant" is not low-key.
In the history of global communications, China is a relatively slow country, in the 2G, 3G era, China can only follow the developed countries, but the 4G era has a turning point, China in the field of 4G began to synchronize with the developed countries.
In the 5G era, China's communications industry has taken a big step forward and begun to lead the world, with the help of Chinese companies such as Huawei, 5G China has completely ahead of the West.
According to the latest data, China has built more than 2.64 million 5G base stations, and the number of ports with gigabit network service capabilities exceeds 17.93 million.
Up to now, the scale of 5G mobile phone users in China has reached 6200 million, 5G applications have covered 52 categories of the national economy, and in the future, we will continue to promote the integration and application of new generation information and communication technologies such as 5G and gigabit optical networks in vertical industries, information consumption, social and people's livelihood.
The rapid development of 5G technology has also promoted the development of Chinese enterprises, and more than 210,000 5G standard essential patents have been declared worldwide, involving 470,000 patent families, including 1 patent declared in China80,000 pieces, accounting for 40% of the world, ranking first.
Huawei is undoubtedly the most powerful company in this field, with more than 6,500 SEPs declared, accounting for more than 14% of the world's total, ranking first.
Huawei's strength is all due to the company's continuous increase in R&D investment, which reached 161.5 billion yuan in 2022, accounting for 25% of annual revenue1%, with a cumulative investment of more than 977.3 billion yuan in R&D in the past ten years.
Due to continuous R&D investment, Huawei ranks first in the world in the number of 5G patents, which is why Huawei is not afraid to face US sanctions.
In addition to Huawei, there is another giant in China's communications industry, which also has a large number of 5G patents, and this company is ZTE.
A few days ago, ZTE disclosed data on the interactive platform that by the end of 2022, the company's global patent applications were about 850,000 patents, and about 4 patents were authorized worldwide last year30,000 patents, standard 5G essential patents are in the first echelon in the world.
It is understood that ZTE has realized the dual configuration of RAN3 chairman and RAN2 vice chairman in the formulation of 5G technical standards of 3GPP international organizations, and ZTE also has industry-leading complete chip process design capabilities in the underlying core technology field.
At present, the reliability of ZTE's distributed database has reached 999999%, can support 1 billion user capacity, industrial-grade operating system in real-time, reliability, security and other aspects of the industry leading enterprises.
Previously, under the guidance of the IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, ZTE also realized the 5G millimeter wave autonomous networking technology solution, carried out functional design technology verification, and all the results passed the verification and approval.
Strong technical strength also supported the stable development of ZTE, with an operating income of 291 in the first quarter of this year4.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 434%；The net profit attributable to the parent company was 264.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 192%。
Looking forward to the future, ZTE will actively promote the construction of a global service ecosystem and work with partners to continuously build a sustainable, healthy and win-win cooperation ecosystem.
It is believed that driven by Huawei, ZTE and other giants in the communications industry, China will continue to lead in the global communications field.
