Huawei Finds 5G Connectivity After 4 Years of Struggling

Urian B., Tech Times 28 December 2022, 01:12 am

The tables could be turning for Huawei as it finally finds a way to access 5G support after a harsh couple of years due to bans on the company. The company is now preparing to turn things around in 2023.

Huawei Experienced Bans that Drastically Affected Its Company's Performance

According to the story by Giz China, Huawei has experienced bans that drastically affected the company, including no access to Google services and 5G connectivity. While the latter is starting to become a common practice for new devices, Huawei could have been left behind if it did not find a solution.

This year, many businesses were affected by the devastating consequences of COVID-19. Still, no other company suffered like Huawei due to the US Commerce Department bans imposed on them in 2016.

The Company Might have Found a 5G Solution

Although the tech giant hasn't been able to solve its issue concerning Google services, it may have found a new solution to its 5G woes, as it was recently reported that it had submitted a new application for a patent that covers some EUV components and EUV lithography processes, according to a report by MyDrivers.

DigiTimes Asia confirmed Huawei's application, noting that it could develop its 5G chips moving forward. Should this happen, the company will not have to rely on other companies for its own 5G technology.

The Application Contains a Hundred Thousand Components

The application is complex, containing more than a hundred thousand components. Still, the technology could finally relieve Huawei in both their business and smartphone industry.

Sources claim that the tech giant is working to bypass lithography to create optoelectronic wafers, which loosens the company's reliance on outside suppliers. In addition, the patent could help Chinese chip makers produce more cutting-edge chips, which, in the end, provide more advanced SoCs to Chinese smartphone makers at a quicker rate.

Approval Could See Huawei Gaining Access to 5G Connectivity

This would also help Huawei's own smartphone industry, as any approved patent would bring back 5G connectivity to the Chinese tech giant's devices. If the EUV patent from Huawei were to go through, it would be a major game-changer for the company and its industry.

It would be a huge accomplishment for a company that has gone through four long, difficult years, but it would also prove to be an impressive feat of technology and engineering. This would be a turning point in the tech world, showing just how resilient, innovative and determined companies like Huawei can be, even when the odds are against them.

As of press time, no one knows if this will be the end of Huawei's struggles or just another step in an uphill battle, but one thing is certain: this could be the start of something great. Hopefully, the patent will be approved soon enough, and the Chinese technology industry will be graced with an amazing comeback story and the innovations it brings.
