No for example Swisscom in Switzerland is using Ericsson for their 5G network and Huawei for their IP core transport network. A lot of households got upgraded to Huawei G.Fast technology for example.
So it's also about price. Huawei is just cheaper than Nokia and Ericsson. I don't know how the technology of the different providers compare but it probably won't be that much of a difference. It probably also depends on your existing 4G infrastructure since 5G can sometimes be rolled out as a software upgrade using existing antennas. So if your existing infrastructure uses Huawei you don't want to switch.
- blackrock 7y agoWhat is the price point? Exactly how much cheaper is Huawei vs. Nokia/Ericsson? Some rumors say that Huawei has 4,000 software engineers that they can throw at a problem, like their current goal to replace Google services. If an average software engineer in China makes $10,000 USD, vs. an average software engineer at Google making $160,000 USD. Then Huawei will spend $40 million USD, vs. Google spending $640 million USD. That’s a pretty significant difference. Huawei’s operating cost is 6% of Google’s. Huawei can afford to throw a lot of human brain power at solving an engineering problem. And especially when a lot of Chinese companies are operating in start-up mode and working 60+ hours a week.
