Huawei’s 5G has so far launched several products as part of its automotive ecosystem, including the Baron 5000 5G chip and a 5G + V2X intelligent communication system that has already been embedded in the new SUV model of GAC New Energy.
Recently, 23 technology companies announced the establishment of the O-RAN alliance, hoping to build an open source 5G network community. These include China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom, the three major Chinese operators, as well as DoCoMo, a subsidiary of Softbank Group, AT&T, and Japan Telecom NTT. Additionally, technology giants such as Intel, Microsoft, Facebook, Samsung and Tsinghua University also partake in the alliance that will likely become a competitor to Huawei in its global 5G ambitions.
