11/14/2022 0 Comments Huawei mobile partner oi![]() ![]() ![]() German company United Internet’s CEO, Ralph Dommermuth, said that the construction of subsidiary 1&1 Drillisch’s 5G network would experience delays due to current measures adopted in the country to prevent a further spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, local paper Handelsblatt reported.In Portugal, MEO, NOS and Vodafone Portugal now face a further wait for frequency rights in the 700MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2.1GHz, 2.6GHz and 3.6GHz bands.The EU’s deadline of June for the release of the 700 MHz band for 5G will be missed by several countries, including Spain and Austria. A growing number of European countries are delaying 5G spectrum auctions, as restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic make it difficult to maintain planning.Today, Belgian incumbent Proximus said capital expenditure would go down this year to offset the impact of COVID-19 on profits.On March 20, the UK’s BT reported a 5% drop in mobile data traffic, compared with normal levels.……………………………………………………………………………………………………….Īnswering questions about its annual report, published on Tuesday, Huawei vice-president Victor Zhang said there would “definitely” be an impact but it would likely be worse in Europe than in the UK.Ī few data points from European telcos in the aftermath of COVID-19: Huawei’s Eric Xu said the current crisis would “certainly” delay 5G rollouts Xu also told reporters the delays could last until “the time when the pandemic is brought under control.” “5G deployment in Europe will certainly be delayed,” said Eric Xu, one of Huawei’s rotating CEOs, during a Huawei (private company) results presentation today. People confined to their homes need wired broadband and Wi-Fi, NOT 4G and 5G mobile access. But just like the physical roads and highways, those 4G networks have experienced less traffic since the virus took hold. One reason to deploy 5G is to off load data (especially video) traffic on congested 4G-LTE networks. Also, why do you need a mobile network if you’re at home 95% of the time? Non essential business’ are closed and manufacturing plants have been idled. Why? It’s because of the stay at home/shelter in place orders all over the world. Now the new technology faces an unprecedented slow down to launch and expand pilot deployments. In the absence of any new 5G applications or completion of 3GPP 5G Phase 2 and ITU-R IMT 2020, 5G was not expected to ramp this year, despite ridiculous hype and false claims (especially ultra low latency which has not yet been specified let alone standardized yet). Now, with across the board cutbacks everywhere, it will be much further down the must do list for 2020. Up until the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world hard in late February, 5G seemed a priority for most wireless network operators. ![]()
