Huawei is focusing on fish farmers as it works in mines after the US banned their phones

(Bloomberg) – Six months after the Trump administration hit Huawei Technologies in the smartphone business, the Chinese telecom giant is turning to less glamorous alternatives that could offset the biggest contributor to the drop in prices. The client is a fish farm in eastern China twice the size of Central Park in New York City. The farm is covered by tens of thousands of solar panels equipped with Huawei transformers to protect its fish from excessive sunlight while producing energy. À environ 370 miles à l’ouest, dans la province du Shanxi, riche en charbon, des capteurs sans fil et des caméras souterraines surveillent les niveaux d’oxygène et les dysfonctionnements potentiels de la machine dans la mine – tous fournis par le géant de Technology. Next month, a shiny new electric car with a lidar sensor will debut at China’s largest auto show, and once it became the world’s largest smartphone maker, the Chinese company was subject to a series of US sanctions that virtually eliminated its lucrative consumer business. As the Biden administration continued to put pressure on Huawei, billionaire founder Ren Zhengfei ordered the company to expand the list of corporate clients in the transportation, manufacturing, agricultural and other sectors. Huawei is the largest supplier of UPS in the world and is now planning to increase these sales as well as its cloud services and data analysis solutions to help its 190,000 employees survive. “It is very unlikely that the United States will remove us from the entity list,” Ryan said last month at the opening of a mining innovation lab partially sponsored by Huawei. “At the moment, we just want to work harder and keep looking for new opportunities to survive.” Raine said the new initiatives could offset the decline in the mobile business “in one way or another during this year,” although the company declined to provide specific numbers. Its consumer unit generated revenues of 256 billion yuan ($ 39 billion) in the first six months of 2020, more than half of the company’s total. It managed “marginal growth” in sales and profits last year, driven by 5G base station orders and strong smartphone sales in the first half of the year. Huawei has been exploring business opportunities outside of telecom equipment and smartphones for years, but efforts have taken on a new urgency after phone shipments fell 42% in the last three months of 2020, largely due to something from the Trump era that reduced its capacity. To the more advanced, the Biden administration notified some suppliers of stricter terms on pre-approved export licenses, which prohibit the use of items in or with 5G devices, according to people close to the movement. On Friday, the US Federal Communications Commission included Huawei in a list of companies whose telecommunications and video equipment pose an unacceptable risk to national security.

To meet the growing demand from entrepreneurs, including Huawei, local sellers are pushing them to perform better than mature technologies that Washington has not banned, the person said, refusing to reveal his identity while discussing domestic issues. Solar panel electrical production, based on 28nm technology, can be manufactured by Chinese enterprises. Other components, such as power supplies, can be manufactured with 90 nm technology or older. Yangzhou Yangjie Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. And China Resources Microelectronics Ltd. Among the largest producers of power diodes in China, each inverter – slightly larger than the outdoor unit of a central air conditioner – can sell for more than 20,000 yuan, more than the last Huawei. An advanced foldable phone X2. The company plans to introduce more photovoltaic power transformers as Beijing pushes carbon emissions to the world’s second largest economic summit by 2030. Investments in renewable energy, such as solar inverter works, and required chips. From European suppliers, according to a person familiar with the matter. This allowed Huawei to double its role in the auto industry, prompting engineers from other business units to work on sensors for self-driving cars and power supplies for electric cars, while the company denied its intention to launch electric cars under its own brand. Huawei did. With several manufacturers testing autonomous driving technologies and driver-car interaction. Entertainment features can be found in Mercedes-Benz sedans, and the company has partnered with local electric vehicle manufacturers such as Pike Blue Park new energy technology to develop smart car systems. The first model, as part of its partnership with Chinese electric car maker Arcfox αS HBT, will be unveiled at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show in April, and another initiative called 5GtoB involves Huawei deploying 5G technology in areas ranging from health to aircraft manufacturing. The company helped China build the world’s largest 5G network, providing more than half of the 720,000 base stations operating across the country. He is now looking to use the country’s 5G connectivity to help companies affected by the pandemic automate factory lines – to join tech giants like Xiaomi Corp. And Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. In an effort to modernize manufacturing – and digitize once in labor-intensive industries like mining: Huawei has signed more than 1,000 5GtoB agreements in more than 20 industries with the help of telecommunications and partners, according to rotating chairman Ken Ho. He said online education, entertainment and transportation are among the areas he plans to explore. In January, the company gave the Caesar Richard Yu smartphone a new role in nurturing the growing cloud and AI industry. “The adoption of 5G in mining, medical services and manufacturing is becoming increasingly evident, and some applications are in use across the country,” said Liu Lihong, Vice Minister of Industry and Technology. The information, at an industrial event in Shanghai last month, Ren would personally lead the expansion of mining, meet with local officials and inspect coal mines in Shanxi Province. “Most of the ICT companies don’t see mining as an area in which they can break into the market, but we did,” the billionaire told reporters last month. China has about 5,300 coal mines and 2,700 ore mines. If we can service more than 8000 mines well, we can extend our services to include mines outside of China.

Its HiSilicon was the most efficient designer in the country, making the cutting-edge processors power the company’s smartphones and wireless base stations, before Washington cut off access to the latest chip design software and manufacturers. Under a contract with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co at present, the company has told its wireless customers that it has enough chips to support the construction of the base station in 2021. However, it is not known how long these stocks will last and what options Huawei will have after those stocks are exhausted. . Jefferies Edison Lee said in a note earlier this month that wireless carriers are being cautious about building 5G. Uncertainty “whether Huawei will be able to continue providing equipment in the long term”. “The ongoing political disputes have cast a shadow over the business activities of Huawei and other Chinese companies for the foreseeable future, and strategic investment in emerging technologies is essential to the sustainable growth of Huawei’s business,” said Charlie Day, senior analyst at Forrester Research.
