The US 5G goal is "cold"! No one expected that the "ban" would slap itself in the face

Last year, the iPhone 12 was launched. The most obvious difference between the US version and the Chinese version is the millimeter wave antenna. Just when everyone was envious of Apple users on the other side of the ocean, the "fake 5G" of the iPhone 12 was exposed. The speed of using Verizon's 5G network is slower than 4G. This result is really "face-slapping".

The reason for this is the network construction of the operators. Unlike the 5G construction of T-Mobile and AT&T, Verizon brought the "Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS)" technology, which simply means using the 4G band to provide 5G signals. The operator won the 5G band and chose this 5G development model in order to reduce the cost of 5G construction. After the US telecom operators won the 5G band at a high price, in order to achieve the conversion of 5G users, there was news recently that AT&T issued an announcement that it would officially shut down the 3G network supply in February 2022.

Operators are willing to subsidize 3G users to replace their phones to attract users to upgrade their packages. However, this move has not won the support of users. The reason is that the price of 5G packages in the United States is high, but the network speed has not soared. On the contrary, research institutions have compared the network speeds around the world. The 5G network speed in the United States is only 50Mb/s, ranking last. The US 5G goal is "cool"! No one expected that the "ban" would slap itself in the face!

During the transition period from 4G to 5G, Huawei's advantages in base station construction can reduce the cost of 5G construction. The US 5G construction refuses Huawei's entry. Whether it is the construction speed or the coverage breadth, the time and money cost pressure can be imagined. Ren Zhengfei once said: For operators, Huawei's 5G equipment may not be their first choice, but not using Huawei equipment will be their loss. "Getting up early and catching up late" is the most appropriate way to describe the development of 5G in the United States. This is the consequence of suppressing Huawei!

In addition to the United States banning Huawei from participating in its 5G construction under the pretext of "national security", the United Kingdom also refused Huawei's 5G entry. In addition to banning Huawei equipment, all Huawei technology equipment will be removed from the UK's 5G network by 2027. British Telecom said earlier that this move would fail to achieve the 2025 gigabit broadband goal and would greatly slow the development of 5G. In addition to a large gap in financial support, the removal of Huawei equipment in the future will face an additional cost of at least 2 billion pounds.

If there is no Huawei 5G ban, perhaps the current 5G development will present a win-win situation. What do you think?
