在赢得5G市场的竞争中，中国华为今天宣布声称自己是第一款商用5G芯片组，再次向前迈进了一步。

这家名为Balong 5G01的公司表示，它符合去年12月由行业组织3GPP锁定的最新标准。 虽然5G预计将以20 Gbps的网络速度结束，但这款第一款华为芯片组可提供高达2.3 Gbps的速度。
巴龙5G01是全球首款投入商用的、基于3GPP标准的5G芯片，支持全球主流5G频段，包括Sub6GHz(低频)、mmWave(高频)，理论上可实现最高2.3Gbps的数据下载速率(骁龙X24 2Gbps)。
同时，它还支持两种5G组网方式，一个是NS，即Non Standalone，5G非独立组网，5G网络架构在LTE上，二是SA，即Standalone，5G独立组网，不依赖LTE。
没有价格信息。 但华为消费电子业务集团首席执行官Richard Yu表示，该芯片只是华为积极推动5G发展的最新例证。
他还展示了该公司正在开发的客户端设备，以允许最终用户在家中和办公室开始体验5G。
华为5G CPE分为低频(Sub6GHz) CPE和高频(mmWave) CPE两种。
其中，5G低频CPE重量3公斤，体积仅为2升，可在室内随意摆放，实测峰值下行速率2Gbps，相当于百兆光纤的20倍，不到1秒即可下载一集网剧，并向下兼容4G网络。
5G高频CPE则包含室外ODU(OutdoorUnit，数字微波收发信机)、室内IDU(IndoorUnit，接口数据单元)，支持毫米波多频段，峰值数率也是2Gbps，兼容4G/5G，并支持POE(以太网供电)。
Yu在巴塞罗那举行的移动世界大会正式开幕前一天发表讲话，这是电信业最大的年度盛会，预计5G将成为主题。

美国 敦促澳大利亚不要信任华为和中国的5G网络
Pointedly expanding its efforts to address Chinese cybersecurity threats, the United States today urged Australia to keep Huawei equipment out of its 5G networks, reports Australia’s Financial Review. U.S. lawmakers and security agencies previously lobbied top U.S. carriers to cut ties with Huawei, but today’s discussions with Australia reach well beyond American borders, suggesting the potentially global scale of the 5G security risk.
According to the report, the heads of the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security personally briefed Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on “U.S. concerns about Chinese involvement in 5G networks,” including “security risks posed by Huawei’s potential involvement.” The report said that “Beijing’s cyber espionage was among the ‘top two’ risks on the U.S.-Australia cyber security agenda,” as Huawei is beholden to the Chinese government, and allowing China to gain control of a 5G network could enable it to control “everything.”
In addition to benefiting from Chinese government funding, Huawei’s organization includes a Chinese government committee for reasons the company apparently has not explained. U.S. officials have long suggested that the company’s hardware could include backdoors, permitting Chinese government monitoring of users’ communications, and eventually controlling public infrastructure in the 5G era. Even without a major role in the U.S. market, however, Huawei has grown to become the largest telecommunications manufacturer in the world, and it’s worked with many leading companies on both mobile devices and standards.
Australia’s government has been concerned about Huawei for years. The country banned Huawei from bidding on building its high-speed national broadband network in 2012, and renewed the ban in 2013 even after Turnbull — at that point the Communications Minister for a recently elected coalition government — supported a review. Briefings from Australian national security agencies convinced the new government to maintain the ban.
Despite government concerns, Huawei has continued to lobby for a role in the Australian market, and has recently forged deals with carriers Optus and Vodafone. Huawei was included in an Australian Department of Communications 5G working group late last year, and carrier Optus promised this month to become Australia’s first 5G carrier in early 2019, using some Huawei equipment.
In statements, Optus said that it “saw no need for the type of Government intervention that is reportedly being considered in other jurisdictions,” and Vodafone said that it “has rigorous controls in place to ensure all statutory and regulatory requirements, and best practice security standards, are met and maintained.” It’s unclear whether Australia’s government will completely freeze Huawei out, but the report suggests that the company’s strong investments in 5G development have placed it ahead of European telecom hardware companies, making its offerings difficult to ignore.
