| Huawei faces the US ban by switching to its chips |
The Chinese technology giant Huawei, which has been banned from dealing with US suppliers, plans to find a way to overcome the severe restrictions imposed by President Donald Trump's government on national security concerns.
In response to the U.S. Department of Commerce ban on US companies selling Huawei chips, Chinese companies must make their devices an integral part of the newly introduced high-speed wireless networks, and the largest technology company in China has strengthened its capabilities to manufacture base stations.
Tim Danx, CEO of Huawei for US-US partnerships, said Huawei's self-sufficient retailer sold more than 50,000 U.S. base stations without utilizing next-generation technology in the fourth quarter. ,,
This number represents only 8% of the total number of base stations Huawei sold in February. However, the company is rapidly increasing production in its (HiSilicon) division to produce more devices that do not have any US components before the expected increase on demand for the product. With words of thanks
"We are still continuing to resume the use of American technology," Danks said, adding that the longer the Huawei service period is performed without contacting US suppliers, the more likely it will be unable to handle its resumption.
The base station is a travel bag-sized component that connects mobile phones to landlines that carry Internet traffic and is an important part of 5G cellular networks.

In early February, Huawei sold about 600,000 base stations for 5G networks to telecom companies, and these companies are struggling to upgrade their networks to new standards, most of which are manufactured using chips purchased before the ban. ,
Although the Chinese company has not announced its suppliers, these base stations often rely on a processor called a programmable field matrix called Intel, which provides the flexibility to update devices easily when new standards are reached. Jobs are added.
Although Huawei chipsets are devoted to some functions and replacing them takes a lot of time and money, this is a drawback and modern technologies like 5G are still in their infancy and significant changes are still possible.
