Qualcomm looks forward to continuous cooperation with China Mobile ecosystem to contribute to the development of China and the world.The picture shows Steve molenkov, CEO of Qualcomm, delivering a video speech at the opening ceremonyThe following is the transcript of the speech:I am honored to have the opportunity to participate in this world Internet Conference.This year, we are deeply aware that the key role of wireless technology represented by 5g in creating a better future is becoming more and more prominent. Wireless technology connects us in a new way to protect our health, support us to work remotely and continue to receive education.Qualcomm firmly believes that 5g will have a far-reaching impact, which is as significant as the extensive deployment of power at the beginning. With the empowerment of 5g, the Internet will benefit more people and enterprises and constantly enrich our lives. It can be said that 5g makes the world full of infinite possibilities.In my opinion, China's 14th five year plan and the long-term goal of 2035 are of far-reaching significance and will continue to cultivate and promote new economic development and social driving forces, and 5g will be one of the key factors. It will connect almost everything in the world and even each of us to help us build a resilient society and economy.In order to accelerate the development of the Internet of things industry and help Chinese manufacturers better grasp global market opportunities, we jointly initiated and launched the "5g Internet of things innovation plan" with a number of Chinese enterprises, aiming to accelerate 5g terminal form, ecological cooperation and digital upgrading and innovation.For example, the 5g epidemic prevention robot of gosun robots is equipped with Xiaolong x55 modem and RF system, so it realizes the function of human body temperature measurement and can provide more effective support for epidemic prevention and control in public places all over China. This is only one of the cases in which wireless technology is used to fight the epidemic in the fields of telemedicine, robotics and data management.In addition, the combination of 5g and artificial intelligence will make medical and health care services benefit a wider range of the public, and the curative effect will be further improved. Such as 5g medical robot, high bitstream video to assist emergency personnel, and cloud services available at any time, these technologies will help us more flexibly and effectively deal with many challenges brought by an aging society, including chronic disease management.This year, the difference in network connectivity caused by the digital divide has been further highlighted, and policymakers and wireless ecosystems urgently need to work together to solve this problem. Qualcomm believes that the wide application of 5g will become the key to meeting the great challenges we are facing.The deployment of fixed wireless access (FWA) can provide optical fiber like connection speed to schools, hospitals and government institutions through millimeter wave in a cost-effective way, so as to solve the "last kilometer" problem in rural areas.Recently, Qualcomm completed 5g millimeter wave performance and RF technology test in 26ghz band in MTNet Laboratory of China Academy of information and communications. The deployment of 5g millimeter wave will bring many benefits. These tests will make China better benefit and help China deal with problems such as the digital divide.In addition, Qualcomm is also constantly promoting the company's "wireless care" social responsibility plan to address the digital divide. Over the past decade, more than one million people in China have benefited from it. During the epidemic, many teachers and students in rural areas needed distance learning, and Qualcomm also provided them with necessary mobile terminal support.With the growing number of networked devices around us, security and privacy issues have become more and more important. 5g can bring users enhanced network performance and data protection. 5g private network will support the needs of dedicated and optimized deployment, so that data can be kept locally and effectively protected.We believe that making technology more economical, easier to use and safer data is crucial to promoting the development of digital economy in the future.This year is a challenging year, but it also makes us realize that as long as we work together, we can create brilliance.Based on the powerful connection platform brought by 5g, we can imagine more possibilities to create more new services, new experiences and new industries. Looking to the bright future, we look forward to continuous cooperation with China Mobile ecosystem to contribute to the development of China and the world.

This performance chip has been selected by Xiaomi and iqoo. It has successively launched the corresponding new flagship phones of Xiaolong 888 series, which is fully competitive in the 5g mobile phone market.Of course, this is just the beginning of Xiaolong 888. Android mobile phone manufacturers such as oppo, vivo, realm, Meizu, black shark, ZTE, Nubia, Lenovo, ASUS, LG, Motorola, Yijia and sharp have also officially announced that they will launch the flagship model equipped with Xiaolong 888 in the first quarter of 2021. In 2021, Xiaolong 888, Android's top player, has been firmly established. After all, no matter how the market "storm" fluctuates, the strength of Xiaolong 888 is here, and the recognition of mobile phone manufacturers and consumers is the best proof.There is no doubt that Qualcomm has made great efforts in Xiaolong 888 flagship this time. First, it has introduced the cortex-x1 super core launched by arm, which has brought significant performance upgrades; Secondly, after adding AI fusion accelerator, AI computing power soared to 26 trillion times; In addition, Xiaolong X60 5g baseband is integrated on the flagship Qualcomm 5g chip for the first time. Xiaolong 888 brings the world's fastest 5g commercial speed; Even Xiaolong 888's new breakthrough in computing photography and its important impact on the development of mobile phone imaging functions have made the tidbits of "Qualcomm is also an image technology enterprise" circulating in the market a "real hammer".Qualcomm has always stressed that while the computing power of the chip continues to improve rapidly according to the law, the mobile phone will have more and more functions. It is necessary to integrate more functions into the chipset to improve the user experience. It enables a variety of new experiences to achieve rapid growth in one mobile phone, so users no longer need to use multiple independent terminals and integrate countless functions. Indeed, after getting Xiaomi 11 equipped with Xiaolong 888, many users intuitively feel that this is not only a mobile phone, but also a 100 million pixel professional camera, a fingerprint payment instrument, an omnipotent AI housekeeper under artificial intelligence, a powerful game console, and finally a "mobile phone" with excellent call quality!Although Xiaolong 888 has appeared on the flagship mobile phone in 2021 and become the benchmark of the new generation 5g flagship, Qualcomm launched another high-end mobile phone chip - Xiaolong 870 before the Spring Festival. It can be seen from the naming that this is an intermediate subdivision product line from Xiaolong 865 plus to Xiaolong 888, and can also be regarded as a further upgraded version of Xiaolong 865 plus. Xiaolong 870 uses an enhanced Qualcomm kryo 585 CPU with a super kernel with a dominant frequency of up to 3.2ghz, which aims to comprehensively improve the performance and bring a better game experience.At present, Lenovo has announced that Motorola edge s, which will debut on January 26, will launch Xiaolong 870. In addition, oppo, Yijia, iqoo and Xiaomi are also determined to launch corresponding products in the first quarter of 2021. The reason why Qualcomm launched a high-end chip such as Xiaolong 870 at this time point is that it hopes to provide a high-end option for the 5g market in addition to the Xiaolong 888 with a 5nm process, better cover all price segments, enrich the 5g mobile phone product series in the Android Market and give 5g mobile phone users more choices.In the field of 5g chips, Qualcomm has always occupied the first position in the market share. Qualcomm's revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 shows that Qualcomm occupies the largest market share in the global 5g chip market, and 39% of all 5g mobile phones sold worldwide use Qualcomm chips. Qualcomm does not produce mobile phones, but provides its designed chips to mobile phone manufacturers. Therefore, for Qualcomm, every market share comes from the strength of partners. Seven of the world's top 10 mobile phone manufacturers are Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, and these manufacturers are Qualcomm's partners.

This site is original!(electronic enthusiast report text / Zhang Ying) the 5g market is making waves again. The recent three news are impressive. American media revealed that the price of 5g flagship mobile phones will rise significantly in 2021. It is reported that the current price of Qualcomm's 865 mobile platform is US $150. Considering that Huawei Hisilicon is unable to obtain TSMC's advanced chip with 5-nm process after being sanctioned by the US Department of Commerce, overseas media predict that the price of Qualcomm's snapdragon 875 mobile platform will reach US $250 per set. This is likely to lead to the sales price of the new 5g flagship mobile phone reaching more than $1000.Product list of five 5g chip manufacturersFigure: electronic enthusiasts sort out according to public dataOn July 28, American media reported that according to the latest data from countpoint, in the quarter from April to June, thanks to the continuous popularity and price reduction of iphone11, the sales volume of iPhones in China was 7.4 million, a year-on-year increase of 32%. The sales volume of Chinese mobile phone manufacturer Huawei was 36.6 million, a year-on-year increase of 14%. According to counter point research, 33% of the smartphone sales in China in the second quarter came from 5g phones. Analysts believe that Apple's iPhone 12, which supports 5g network, may sell well in the fourth quarter.On July 27, Guo Ping, Huawei's rotating CEO, said that the global 5g users had exceeded 90 million, and the global 5g deployment had come to an end. The focus of the next stage was to develop industrial applications and release 5g network dividends. After the breakthrough of 5g mobile phone in the consumer market, the industrial application driven by 5g industrial module is obviously the focus of 5g development in the next stage.5g terminal did not exceed ten million shipments, and the industrial module began to solve the pain point problemOn July 29, the electronics enthusiast reporter visited the booth of Dingqiao Communication Technology Co., Ltd. and saw 5g industrial module based on Balong 5000 chip. It is reported that 5g industrial modules have been mass produced and have been used in many fields such as Dahua 5g camera, 5g live video backpack and 5g industrial gateway. Wang Fan, Internet of things product management manager of Dingqiao communication technology company, told reporters that 5g industrial module is obviously larger than 4G module. First, 5g network speed is high. Using massive MIMO technology, the integrated antenna of industrial module is more complex than 4G module. Second, in the future, with product iteration, device integration will increase, and the size of 5g industrial module will be smaller in the future. Multi antenna array is deployed, and heat dissipation is required.Figure: Huawei 5g industrial moduleFigure: Dahua 5g cameraFigure: Acer z2-5g industrial gatewayFigure: Deli dv4000 live BackpackCui Fang, deputy general manager of the Technology Department of China mobile terminal company, told the media that 5g terminals are still in the initial development stage and are small in scale. The industry hopes that 5g terminals can be delivered in tens of millions of levels in 2020. Even if a 5g module is delivered in millions of levels, it is good.Product list of some domestic 5g module manufacturersFigure: electronic enthusiasts sort out according to public data.The person in charge of Aowei video told reporters that the company's product is 5g integrated video communication system, which is mainly used in live broadcast, industrial inspection, medical HD and other scenes. At present, there are two major pain points in the industry: 1. It has very high requirements for the network. Previously, it used a wired network. The cost of cabling and architecture is very high and inflexible. 2. When doing live mobile live broadcasting, the current method is to need a broadcasting vehicle, which has large investment and high cost. Wiring is a very big pain point. According to the author, the live broadcasting industry has tried to use 4G for live broadcasting before, but it is found that the 4G network capacity is not enough, which reflects the uplink and downlink speed, especially the real-time performance meets high requirements, and the experience is not good.Now, the video requirements of live customers have been transformed into 4K, 8K or even higher pixels. The backpack supported by 5g industrial modules solves this pain point: first, the characteristics of 5g network embB reflect large bandwidth and high rate. 5g provides uplink bandwidth of 100m, which is more than 10 times that of 4G network. It can not only support 4K, 8K, but also support multi-channel 4K and 8K, 5g high rate can also transfer some functions on the local broadcasting vehicle to the cloud; Second, save costs. Now a 5g camera and 5g backpack can complete mobile live broadcasting, which saves a lot of expenses compared with the live broadcasting car; Third, the mobile performance is outstanding. As long as there is an area covered by 5g network, the mobility of live video can be fully reflected.Bai Keke, general manager and vice president of MBB products of ZTE terminal business division, shared the case of subway private network. He analyzed and said: there are three pain points in traditional subway operation. Surveillance video is often blocked, emergency response time is long, and passenger flow prediction is difficult, which restricts the development of subway intelligent operation. "On May 28, ZTE and Guangzhou Mobile took the lead in realizing the world's first 5g SA rail transit private network at Guangzhou tower subway station, which can realize 5g full coverage of Guangzhou tower subway station. ZTE provides Guangzhou metro station with 5g module vm9000 and 5g slicing terminal mc801a products supporting network slicing technology based on Qualcomm Xiaolong x55, which realizes the subway scene application based on 5g technology, including fast identification of personnel at the entrance and exit gates through 5g broadband and low delay provided by 801A when security guards or executives wear ar glasses, The security personnel fully release their hands during inspection to improve efficiency. Then, the 4K HD camera with 5g module built-in can monitor the whole subway products in an all-round way without dead angle, solve the blockage problem of traditional subway video monitoring, and improve the efficiency of operation management.The cost of 5g terminal products is high, and industrial modules are subject to the superposition of multiple fees for chips, testing and patent licensingThe person in charge of 5g module manufacturers based on Qualcomm Xiaolong x55 platform once told reporters that the development cost of 5g module is high, and the main investment is divided into four parts: 5g module development requires a R & D team of at least 80 people and a one-year development cycle. In the 4G era, the license cost of the platform is basically $100000 to $500000. In the 5g era, the average license cost of the platform, whether Qualcomm or domestic 5g chip manufacturers, is more than $2 million; Third, the authentication fee of mainstream operators. 5g is multi band and the protocol is more complex. The authentication fee is basically 5 to 10 times that of 4G; Fourth, the investment cost of test instruments is also doubled. In the 4G era, the high-end instruments are about $100000. In the 5g era, they are basically 3 million yuan. In the future, with millimeter wave testing, one set of two will basically reach the level of 10 million. The superposition of these costs leads to huge expenditure on 5g module R & D.Cui Fang, deputy general manager of the Technology Department of China mobile terminal Corporation, also told the media that 5g network is still in the early stage of deployment, and the application scale of 5g subdivided industry has not been increased. In addition, due to the complexity of 5g, it also brings the problem of high product cost.5g communication industry is still in the running in period of demand docking with other industriesThe communication industry has not explored the needs of other industries deeply enough, while the industry customers have limited understanding of 5g technology, and there is a gap between the two. Considering the fragmented demand of the Internet of things industry, there is a large demand for innovative products, which also hinders the expansion of the industrial scale. Cui Fang, deputy general manager of the Technology Department of China mobile terminal company, said that the industry does not have a clear understanding of the terminal. Customers do not know how to add 5g communication products to industrial applications and how to form an effective product implementation scheme. It is unable to form a closed loop of information import, which also hinders the increase of product volume.Well known enterprises in the industry told reporters that in manufacturing enterprises, after operators provide 5g solutions, if the price of 5g network is very high, the original intention of industrial Internet transformation is to reduce costs. When enterprises can't see the business model of recycling investment, enterprises are not willing to pay for it.Wu Chao, director of CSC Securities Research Institute and platinum analyst, told the media that the most critical thing in the second half of 2020 is to focus more on the landing of 5g applications, whether from the perspective of investment or the evolution of the whole industry. The first wave of 5g investment has passed, which is driven by policy and technology. The second wave is the stage of business driving and industry leading.She pointed out that with the landing of 5g commercial rhythm and the improvement of terminal penetration, the penetration rate of 5g intelligent hardware is relatively high. In addition to mobile phones, such as cars, intelligent security, intelligent metering and white appliances, the penetration rate is relatively high. This is some application scenarios that we should look forward to. In 2020, HD live broadcasting will develop rapidly. Telemedicine, intelligent manufacturing and intelligent Internet connected vehicles will increase the demand for 5g terminals.In the future, how to increase the volume of 5g terminals will bring great variables with the outbreak of application demand in 5g industry. We will wait and see.This article is original by the electronic enthusiast network. It is prohibited to reprint without authorization. To reprint, please add the micro signal elecfans999.

In the future, the intelligent multiple unit train running on Beijing Zhangjiakou high-speed railway can automatically monitor and alarm the natural environment such as wind level, rainfall and snow depth, so as to ensure the real-time boarding of gale alarm information.On October 27, at the 14th China International Modern Railway Technology and equipment exhibition, He Huawu, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, vice president of China Association of science and technology and special technical adviser to the general manager of China Railway Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "China Railway General Manager"), mentioned in his speech that China has been in Guanhui, Dongguan and Dongguan in the Pearl River Delta Two inter city railways with a speed of 200 km / h between Foshan and Zhaoqing have opened automatic train operation technology (ATO). The automatic train operation technology of high-speed railway with a speed of 300-350 km / h is still blank in the world. This technology will be applied for the first time in Beijing Zhangjiakou high-speed railway.Beijing Zhangjiakou high speed railway is an important part of the fast track from Beijing to the West and North and the Beijing Tianjin Hebei intercity railway network. It is a major transportation infrastructure for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games. China Railway Corporation proposes to build Beijing Zhangjiakou high-speed railway into a "high-quality project and intelligent high-speed railway".He Huawu comprehensively introduced the intelligent coverage level of Beijing Zhangjiakou high speed railway, which is reflected in three aspects: intelligent equipment, passenger oriented intelligent service technology and operation and intelligent construction.He Huawu revealed that on the Beijing Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, the future will be based on the "Fuxing" Chinese standard EMU platform to develop intelligent EMUs with self sensing of working status, self diagnosis of operation faults and safety oriented self decision-making.In terms of power supply system, the vehicle will be equipped with an intelligent power supply system composed of intelligent power supply equipment, intelligent power supply dispatching, intelligent power supply operation management and communication network to realize the functions of intelligent fault diagnosis, early warning, self-healing and reconstruction, and form a health assessment system of power supply system.The dispatching system will build an intelligent dispatching command system of high-speed railway based on artificial intelligence to realize the functions of intelligent dynamic dispatching, intelligent collaborative control, intelligent transfer dispatching and intelligent fault diagnosis, so as to optimize the overall train dispatching efficiency of the road network, improve the emergency decision-making and processing capacity of the system, and improve the operation efficiency and passenger satisfaction.He Huawu also said that in the future, the intelligent EMU trains running on the Beijing Zhangjiakou high-speed railway can automatically monitor and alarm the natural environment such as wind level, rainfall and snow depth, so as to ensure the real-time boarding of gale alarm information.

On the 20th anniversary of the founding of the chip company MediaTek, its competitor Qualcomm gave a "big gift" that was not very kind.On the morning of May 26, Qualcomm announced its cooperation with Datang Telecom to enter the medium and low-end mobile phone chip market. Datang Telecom (600198. SH) announced on the evening of the 25th that the joint venture, called Lingsheng Technology (Guizhou) Co., Ltd., mainly focuses on the consumer mobile phone chip market, with a registered capital of RMB 2.984 billion, of which the two capital parties, Beijing Jianguang and Zhilu capital, hold a total of 52%, and Qualcomm and Datang Telecom hold 24% respectively."Based on the price of mobile phone market, we think the main market price is about $100. This market is global, not only domestic, but also foreign. We have considered it." Christiano, executive vice president and President of QCT of Qualcomm technologies. Amun said in an interview with reporters including China first finance and economics after the meeting.For Qualcomm's cooperation, Wang Yanhui, Secretary General of the mobile phone alliance, told reporters that after 18 months of talks before and after the cooperation, Qualcomm's model is more suitable for capturing large customers. The joint venture should mainly target small and medium-sized customers or medium and low-end customers. This part was not the focus of Qualcomm before, and the future effect remains to be paid attention to.Leverage to stir up the low-end marketDatang announcement disclosed that Lingsheng technology mainly focuses on the consumer mobile phone market, and its business scope mainly includes design, packaging, testing, customer support and sales related to chipset solutions, technology development, technology licensing, technical consulting, technical services and software development.The person in charge of Qualcomm said that by establishing such a joint venture, Qualcomm can expand the low-end market on the one hand and lay the foundation for new markets in the future, such as the Internet of things.In fact, in the past, although it coveted the low-end market, Qualcomm has always refused to be labeled as a low-end market, and the move of leveraging Datang was evaluated as "very technical"."Qualcomm has always wanted to make high-profit products, such as the medium and high-end mobile phone market, the Internet of things and UAVs. The attitude of the low-end market is that it does not want to give up, but it does not want other companies to become bigger. Therefore, this cooperation with Lianxin should be able to charge licensing fees. Licensing fees are a model that does not need to spend a lot of money but can obtain good profits." Yan Zhan, research director of counterpoint, told reporters.For Datang, the cooperation with Qualcomm is also a way to break through the existing business bottleneck.According to the financial report, Datang Telecom achieved a revenue of 7.230 billion yuan in 2016, a year-on-year decrease of 15.96%; The net loss was 1.776 billion yuan, while the net profit in 2015 was 28.44 million yuan.Although Datang Telecom began to try to improve its mobile phone chip business in 2014, first authorized its main integrated circuit design enterprise Lianxin technology sdr1860 to Xiaomi mobile phone in November 2014, and then planned to acquire the mobile phone business of Marvell, an American chip company, but it failed to land in the end.It is reported that the cooperation with Qualcomm has been carried out since the beginning of 2016."We have talked for almost 18 months. Previously, Lianxin personnel have been learning Qualcomm's platform and providing technical support to some Qualcomm customers," Wang Yanhui told reporters.However, some domestic chip manufacturers who did not want to be named told reporters that at present, Lianxin basically stopped the research and development of mobile phone related chips and only did some government procurement and industry customers. If Qualcomm is not willing to do technology input, the impact on the industry will be limited.Capital promotes marriageThe entry of social capital is an important factor in the cooperation. Beijing Jianguang and Zhilu capital hold 34.6% and 17% respectively.At the press Q & a meeting, the relevant person in charge of Jianguang capital told reporters that investing in the project pays attention to two points. One is its future business sustainability, and the other is its strategic significance to our overall strategic layout."Next, we will make a new layout in the direction of communication, combining the advantages of Qualcomm and Datang. We hope the new company can be in a leading position in the world, and we also believe that the company's profit margin is relatively high." the above person in charge told reporters, "We are now focusing on the field of wireless communication, but you can see that in the past development process of wireless communication, mobile phone is only a platform. We think this is a strategic commanding height, so we must invest in it and we will continue to support the company."It is reported that CCG, an information industry investment platform under China construction investment, has attracted much market attention due to its two large acquisitions of the product line of NXP semiconductor in the Netherlands.In fact, since the State Council issued the outline for promoting the development of the national integrated circuit industry and the formal establishment of the national integrated circuit industry investment fund, the M & a boom in China's semiconductor industry has been ignited. According to incomplete statistics, the total scale of local funds announced by various localities has exceeded 200 billion yuan, which has become an important supporting force in China's integrated circuit ecosystem.In line with this trend, Qualcomm has also established joint ventures with governments and enterprises in many places.Yan Zhanmeng told reporters that this cooperation is in line with Qualcomm's consistent style, but whether the authorized new companies have Qualcomm's core technology input is the key, such as CDMA integrated IP authorization. However, in the question and answer of reporters, Qualcomm did not explain this issue in detail.MediaTek did not comment on the news.
