With the development of communication technology, it is now not only affecting the network speed of users, but also affecting the development of some other industrial chains. For example, it is the development and large-scale application of 4G technology that has led to the development of industrial chains such as mobile payment, e-commerce shopping, and live broadcasting.
The same 5G, and the 6G technology that will emerge in the future, can also have a significant impact on the technology industry. Nowadays, with the development of 5G technology, the industrial chain of smart city, unmanned driving, and metaverse has also entered the "fast lane" of development, and it can be said that the construction of 5G network will affect the layout and development of many emerging industrial chains.
Huawei's 5G technology is well-known around the world, and many countries and operators have chosen to cooperate with Huawei to adopt Huawei's 5G technology and 5G equipment.
Judging from the public data, in terms of 5G equipment shipments, Huawei surpasses Ericsson and Nokia, the established communication companies in Europe and the United States. In addition to Huawei, ZTE, a domestic communications company, has also performed very well in this regard, ranking fourth in the world in terms of the number of 5G shipments after Huawei, Ericsson, and Nokia.
Although the United States has been stigmatizing Huawei's communications equipment internationally, claiming that Huawei's communications equipment has so-called security risks. But in fact, the German testing agency has come up with a lot of evidence to show that Huawei's communication equipment has no so-called security risks. Now Huawei has even built its first overseas factory in France, which is expected to be put into production by 2024, and can produce 1 billion communication devices per year, covering 4G and 5G related equipment.
However, now that several years have passed since the construction of 5G networks, many communication companies have also set their sights on the 6G field. Judging from the current news, the 6G network will start to be built and used around 2030, which means that we are only about 6 years away from 6G.
So, how much do we have in the field of 6G core patented technology today? Can it continue to lead like 5G.
Judging from the recently published data, the number of 6G patents owned by the United States has reached 352%, ranking second in the world. Japan has 13% of the number of 6G patents, ranking third in the world.
The number of 6G patents we have has reached 8,074, accounting for 403%, more than the United States, Japan, etc.
However, it is worth noting that the competition on 6G has not yet come to an end, although we have achieved an advantage, but the United States has joined Japan, South Korea, and the European Union to form the so-called 6G Alliance, and the number of patents added up is slightly higher than ours. Therefore, if we want to continue to maintain our advantages in the 6G field, we still need to continue to strengthen the research and development of 6G core technologies.
The concept of 6G technology is the integration of space and earth, which not only needs the signal provided by the ground base station, but also needs the communication satellite in space to provide the signal. This also means that if you want to build a 6G network, you not only need to build a large number of ground base stations, but also need to launch enough communication satellites.
In this regard, the United States has the Starlink program of SpaceX, and we also have the GW constellation program. Judging by the information that has been made public so far, the GW constellation program is expected to launch 120,000 ultra-low orbit communication satellites. These satellites will be located about 300 kilometers above the ground, closer to the ground than in low-Earth orbit.
This means that the time required for signal transmission can be effectively reduced, and the network transmission rate can be greatly improved. Not only that, but we have also mastered the technology of heavy launch rockets and miniaturized satellite technology.
The GW constellation program is expected to launch the first satellite between 2024 and 2027, which also means that we will begin to accelerate the deployment of communications satellites.
There is no doubt that we have now achieved an advantage in the field of 6G technology and mastered more core patented technologies.
