"Huawei has started sampling multi-band multimode 5G modules for module vendors such as Quectel (the world's leading), Changhong Holding Group, AI-Link and China Mobile Device Corp to develop 5G modules for different IoT applications." – Neil Shah
Strategic Highlights: –
- The near-term focus would be on IoT applications such as 5G video (8K TV), 5G industrial (production line) and 5G+V2X (telematics and automotive) applications.
- These modules will feature HiSilicon 5G chipsets supporting 5G NSA, SA capabilities, Huawei Super Uplink though initially focusing on sub-6 GHz bands.
- It kickstarts Huawei's and HiSlicon's push into 5G space beyond smartphones, targeting domestic and other markets such as Middle East Africa, South Asia and parts of Europe.
- Qualcomm and MediaTek should keep an eye on the same.
