Although it is blacklisted in the United States, and its ambitions in France are curbed by a law on the security of mobile networks intended to “preserve the interests of the defense and national security of France”, the Shenzhen firm nevertheless continues to innovate
If Huawei is no longer authorized to use Google services in its smartphones, which prevents the company from being competitive in this field, it remains the undisputed leader when it comes to equipment and 5 G technology. Huawei had announced from March 2023 that the test phase during which the company “worked with more than 30 international operators on verification and pilot applications of these new 5.5G technologies » proved to be conclusive.

In addition to offering latency times “on the order of a microsecond”, which multiplies its applications in the industrial world, 5.5G technology promises connection speeds of up to 10 Gbps. It is therefore four to five times faster than what French operators offer, whose measured download speeds range from 0.615 to 2.1 Gb/s at Orange, from 1 to 2 Gb/s at SFR, and from 0. 89 at 1.5 Gb/s at Bouygues.
Remember also that 5G has not yet been adopted by the general public. If, in the world, 1.2 billion consumers have been seduced by a 5G plan, in France, only 8 to 9 million users have switched to the fifth generation of wireless communication technologies. By the admission of one of its leaders, 6G technology is only at a premature stage of developmentand should not be marketed until the 2030s. The 5.5 G could land as early as 2024.
