"Samsung S9/S9+ has finally arrived on schedule," "Huawei unveiled the world's first full-screen notebook," "vivo introduced a true full-screen smartphone" — these are just some of the hot topics that have been buzzing among tech enthusiasts following the recent Mobile World Congress. Let’s take a closer look at what’s happening in the world of network communication with Xiaobian.
As the 2018 Bar Show is now more than halfway through, it’s clear that the event isn’t just about new phone releases. AI and 5G have taken center stage, and major tech companies are pushing hard to make their mark. The annual exhibition has become the perfect platform for showcasing innovation and ambition.
In the AI space, Huawei launched an AI-powered smartphone in collaboration with Porsche, while Tencent and MediaTek introduced an AI antivirus engine. TouchPal also made waves with its "most understanding you" AI keyboard. These developments show how deeply AI is being integrated into everyday devices.
On the 5G front, the most exciting moment for Chinese audiences was Huawei’s announcement of the Balong 5G01 — the world’s first 5G commercial chip compliant with 3GPP standards. This chip will power Huawei’s first 5G CPE and is set to be used in the company’s first 5G smartphone by the end of 2019. While the technical details may seem complex to outsiders, the significance of this achievement is undeniable.
To the layman, it might just look like a busy event, but for those who followed closely, Huawei’s 5G chip release marked a major milestone. It proved that Chinese technology is not only catching up but leading the race in the global 5G arena.
But what exactly is 3GPP? And why is it so important?
3GPP stands for the 3rd Generation Partnership Project. It is the largest international organization responsible for developing and maintaining global wireless communication standards. It includes seven key standardization bodies from around the world, such as the Japan Wireless Industry and Commerce Association, China Communications Standards Association, and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute, among others.
At the end of last year, 3GPP completed the development of three core 5G standards: "5G System Architecture," "5G System Procedures," and "5G System Policy and Charging Control Architecture." These standards define the structure of 5G networks and determine how they operate.
The "5G System Architecture" outlines the network functions and access capabilities of 5G systems, covering both roaming and non-roaming scenarios. The "5G System Procedures" define user access and service signaling processes, while the "5G System Policy and Charging Control Architecture" sets the framework for policy control and billing mechanisms, including online credit control and traffic-based data flow management.
Huawei’s Balong 5G01 chip meets all three of these standards, making it a certified global 5G solution.
So, what makes the Balong 5G01 so powerful? According to reports, it supports both low-frequency (Sub6GHz) and high-frequency (mmWave) 5G bands. In theory, it can achieve download speeds of up to 2.3 Gbps. A low-frequency commercial terminal has already reached a peak downlink rate of 2 Gbps, which is equivalent to 20 times the speed of a 100M fiber connection. That means you could download an entire TV series in under a second. Plus, it's backward compatible with 4G networks.
Additionally, the chip supports both NSA (Non-Standalone) and SA (Standalone) networking modes. NSA allows for LTE base stations to work alongside 5G, while SA enables full 5G functionality on its own. This flexibility ensures smooth transitions between different network environments.
With the release of the Balong 5G01, Huawei has demonstrated that it is now the first company in the world to offer complete end-to-end 5G solutions. As 5G continues to evolve, chips like this will play a crucial role in shaping the future of mobile communication.
In short, mastering 5G chip technology gives Huawei a significant advantage. It’s not just about hardware — it’s about controlling the direction of the industry and having a voice in the global conversation.
