$ERIC Huawei's pain will be Ericsson's gain in 5G drama

Despite the drama that has unfolded with the banning of Huawei from the USA network, ERICISSON was already on a bull run. ERIC and its competitors like Nokia have been undercut by the Chinese government subsidized Huawei, but that may all be about to change. Not alone is the USA banning Huawei but they are encouraging its allies to do the same, it is just one more piece or ammunition in Trumps trade War. Keep this stock on your watch-list as it may well be a enormous benefactor of Trumps strategy.

LONDON/SAN FRANCISCO, March 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has blocked microchip maker Broadcom Ltd's $117 billion takeover of rival Qualcomm amid concerns that it would give China the upper hand in the next generation of mobile communications, or 5G.

Below are some facts about 5G and major players.

WHAT IS 5G?

5G networks, now in the final testing stage, will rely on denser arrays of small antennas and the cloud to offer data speeds up to 50 or 100 times faster than current 4G networks and serve as critical infrastructure for a range of industries.

Deals to start building mass-market 5G networks are still largely a year away, but by 2025, 1.2 billion people are set to have access to 5G networks - a third of them in China, according to the global wireless trade group GSMA.

Moving to new networks promises to enable new mobile services and even whole new business models, but could pose challenges for countries and industries unprepared to invest in the transition.

Unlike the upgrades of cellular standards 2G in the early 1990s, 3G around the millennium and 4G in 2010, 5G standards will deliver not just faster phone and computer data but also help connect up cars, machines, cargo and crop equipment.

WHY IS THE U.S. WORRIED?

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which vets acquisitions of U.S. corporations by foreign companies, said the Broadcom takeover risked weakening Qualcomm, which would boost China over the United States in the 5G race.

Acquiring Qualcomm would represent the jewel in the crown of Broadcom’s portfolio of communications chips, which supply wi-fi, power management, video and other features in smartphones alongside Qualcomm's core baseband chips - radio modems that wirelessly connect phones to networks.

The concern is that a takeover by Singapore-based Broadcom could see the firm cut research and development spending by Qualcomm or hive off strategically important parts of the company to other buyers, including in China, U.S. officials and analysts have said.

5G promises to open up the clubby world of telecom equipment by creating openings for a far wider range of players in hardware, software and semiconductors, many of them from Asia, increasing the dependence of Silicon Valley on foreign players.

MAJOR PLAYERS

Before the new technology becomes a reality for consumers, two transitions need to take place.

Mobile operators have to upgrade their networks with 5G gear made by the likes of Huawei and ZTE of China, Sweden's Ericsson and Finland's Nokia . And phone makers need to make handsets with built-in 5G radios ready to hook up to networks.

Qualcomm is the dominant player in smartphone communications chips, making half of all core baseband radio chips in smartphones. It is one of the last big U.S. technology companies with a major role in mobile communications hardware.

Most other baseband chips come from Asia: MediaTek of Taiwan holds about one quarter of the market, while Samsung Electronics and Huawei - two big smartphone makers - develop chips for their own devices. Huawei does through a subsidiary known as HiSilicon.

Its dominant position in 5G comes from its mastery of two areas: getting its patents adopted in what are known as standards and then selling the chip designs that work with those standards.

The standards are set by a global body to ensure all phones work across different mobile networks, and whoever's essential patents end up making it into the standard stands to reap huge royalty licensing revenue streams.

Qualcomm has landed a number of these foundational patents, which means that both handset makers and telecommunications gear makers will have to pay it licensing fees. It dominated standards setting in 3G and 4G wireless and looks set to top the list of patent holders heading into the 5G cycle.

Huawei, Nokia, Ericsson and others are also vying to amass 5G patents, which has helped spur complex cross-licensing agreements like the deal struck late last year Nokia and Huawei around handsets. (Editing by Kim Miyoung in Singapore and Jason Neely in London)

Thu, 18 Sep 2014 10:06:19 GMT ~ Ericsson to shut modem business, 1,000 jobs to go

[Reuters] - Ericsson, the world's biggest mobile network equipment maker, is winding down its modem business, shutting a loss-making unit with the departure of about 1,000 staff. The decision comes amid falling prices of modems, rising demands on research and development and a shrinking market as more smartphone makers buy modems and processors, which Ericsson does not make, together. The Swedish company had said it would evaluate the future of the business within 18 to 24 months of taking it on in 2013 when joint venture partner STMicroelectronics pulled out. Ericsson's chief executive said on Thursday the rapidly changing market meant the company had concluded it would be too expensive for the business to succeed.

Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has been recognized for "Connecting the Unconnected" by Telecoms.com in their 2014 Industry Awards for the company's involvement in the Millennium Villages Project and Connect To Learn initiative.

At the awards ceremony, Ericsson was given special mention for the part it has played towards improving access to healthcare, education and livelihoods through use of technology and the expertise of its employees.

Elaine Weidman-Grunewald, Ericsson's VP Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility, said of the achievement:"Affordable and accessible mobile broadband can help break the cycle of poverty for millions of people around the world. The Millennium Villages project is a long term commitment for us, and we have seen the transformation over time that mobile brings to even the most remote parts of Africa. We are honored to be recognized for the work we have done with our partners."

Ericsson is the lead technology partner in the Millennium Villages Project and works with the Earth Institute at Columbia University, and Millennium Promise, the organizations that run the integrated development project throughout Africa. Since Ericsson became part of the initiative in 2007, more than 500,000 people in 14 countries in sub-Saharan Africa have benefitted from mobile connectivity.

Through Connect To Learn - a global education initiative led by Columbia University with Millennium Promise, Ericsson combines mobility, broadband and cloud services to promote access to and quality of secondary-school education, with a focus on ensuring that girls complete their full education. The public-private partnership also provides scholarships for girls in the Millennium Villages Project schools. In three years, 40,000 students in 15 countries have received access to quality educational resources enabled by the cloud based ICT solution deployed. Ericsson also contributes the technical expertise of its employees to support this initiative.
