Global 5G smartphone shipment volume is estimated at 4.2 million units by 2019 and will not take off until 2021, according to the Taipei-based, government-backed IT research institute MIC (Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute).

Communications IC and Antenna Suppliers Likely to be Major Beneficiaries from the Rise of 5G Phones


"This is attributed mainly to the fact that major countries around the world have set the year 2020 as their starting year of 5G commercialization," says Eddie Han, senior industry analyst with MIC.

"The enhancement in functions of 5G smartphones requires the increase in components and thus will bring business opportunities for suppliers of some components, particularly PAs (Power Amplifiers), baseband ICs, and antennas."

5G Needs New Approach to Security

Planning for security in 5G networks requires a whole new approach compared to previous-generation networks to protect network infrastructure, according to a new technical report on 5G architecture and security published by the U.K. government.With 5G rollouts planned in some form or another around the world this year, the very fact that the architecture opens up opportunities for multiple players to operate on the network (rather than just a single network operator) could significantly increase the attack surface for connected devices, autonomous vehicles, and other use cases flagged up for 5G. Hence, the report suggests that a whole new mobile security strategy is needed and makes four significant security-based recommendations that the authors believe will protect vital infrastructure."Since the age of 2G, mobile networks have been some of the most secure things on the planet, helped by the fact that each one is controlled by a single network operator," said Peter Claydon, project director of AutoAir, one of the 5G testbeds in the U.K. that contributed to the report. "5G opens up mobile networks, allowing network operators to provide 'slices' of their networks to customers. Also, customers’ data can be offloaded and processed at the edge of the network without going through the secure network core. This report is a timely reminder of the security challenges that these new features raise."Regius Professor Rahim Tafazolli, founding director of the 5G Innovation Centre at the University of Surrey, added, 'Performance risk in such a complex network means that we need to reconsider many of our digital security processes."The report was produced as part of the U.K.’s 5G Testbed and Trials program, a government initiative to ensure that the U.K. plays a key role in 5G development. Three of the six 5G testbeds contributed to the report, along with the University of Surrey’s 5G Innovation Centre. The three testbeds were AutoAir, which is testing transport use cases; 5G RuralFirst, which is testing the use of 5G to enhance rural communities, and the Worcestershire 5G Testbed, which is testing industrial use cases of 5G.Key highlights are the challenges and inevitable trade-offs between cost, security, and performance in the development and deployment of 5G. In a new environment of multiple use cases, each with different performance requirements, along with the expected introduction of new market players, alignment and cooperation between parties will be essential. In addition, systems will need to be "secure by design," and new approaches, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI), will be required.New ways will be required to predict and pre-validate 5G network connections, leveraging mobile AI-based autonomous network technologies — from mobile phones and smart industrial machines to health-monitoring devices and smart home consumer devices. The networks will need to quickly and efficiently recognize these devices and confirm that they are secure without compromising user experience and performance. The paper also recommends:A cross-layered process that will allow end-to-end security for critical services such as the transport and logistics, health and social care, Industry 4.0, and rural connectivity solutions.An organization that is tasked to help monitor and encourage good security-by-design practice and set out and document an approach to designing secure 5G networks, applications, and services.Further testing of standards and security capability using existing U.K. test beds.The report highlights the scale of the challenge. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) vision for 5G outlines use cases with very diverse technical performance and system requirements, requiring mobile networks to interconnect with different non-3GPP network technologies. It says that this cannot be achieved by a single network operator in their own domain, and hence, secured and trusted network-to-network interoperability is essential.The 3GPP’s 5G specifications define interfaces for inter-network communications, but further work is necessary to evolve interface functionality, performance, and security. To realize seamless interoperability, effective partnerships will be necessary between different network operators and equipment owners, such as transport companies, rural and local communities and authorities, and publicly funded organizations. To achieve end-to-end security, network boundaries need to be secured across all borders.Adding to the complexity are interconnection of 3GPP and non-3GPP networks, new 5G use cases with diverse requirements, and new 5G technologies, including evolutionary approaches in the mobile network. This adds new security vulnerabilities with a significantly larger attack surface, making it essential to thoroughly evaluate the risks and vulnerabilities and identify work items to alleviate them.The various challenges to deploy secure 5G networks while meeting the requirements of different 5G use cases also creates a trade-off challenge between network performance and security. The combination of increased network-to-network complexity, end-to-end cross-layer system security, and critical applications will mean that conventional security methods will not be feasible.Hence, new technology will be required to meet these challenges to prevent conventional security approaches compromising the required 5G performance. Context-aware networks and AI can process context transfer patterns and correlate them with user, device, application, and security context metadata to make predictive decisions. This will assist the network to make sure that the system setup is one step ahead of the dynamics of the user equipment behavior and context, therefore predicting and pre-validating the required end-to-end security and connection in advance of the device requesting the service.

Partnership to Develop 5G Base Station Chip

Sivers IMA, developer of mmWave products, said that it will jointly develop a 5G base station chip with RF power product company Ampleon, which it expects to bring to market by the end of 2019.Both companies will jointly develop the product, and Ampleon will part-fund the Sivers IMA development by approximately MSEK 3.5 (about $400K). Ampleon will be the main sales channel to Tier-One OEMs for the product resulting from the project.Ampleon supplies sub-6-GHz RF power solutions for 4G and 5G cellular base stations, with the top macro cell telecom network OEMs among its customers. The new chip is being developed in response to demand from top-tier OEMs for state-of-the-art mmWave technology for their next-generation 5G base stations. The partnership aims to bring mmWave components to the market by the end of 2019.Anders Storm, CEO of Sivers IMA, said that it has already been working with Ampleon over the last year as part of a 5G consortium along with Fujikura and other undisclosed partners, which has resulted in a 28-GHz 5G transceiver chip, the TRX BF02, that is now ready for customer testing. The current chip will be able to address the small cell and customer premises equipment (CPE) market for fixed wireless access and some other use cases. The new chip development takes this one step further, to address specific demands from top-tier OEMs, to also offer a solution for 5G base stations.WiGig chip ready for volume productionSiver IMA also announced that its TRX BF01 WiGig chip is ready for volume production, having qualified to the JEDEC standard JESD47JE (“stress-test-driven qualification of integrated circuits”), a global industry standard to ensure component reliability. Qualification tests consist of various stress-related tests, including simulated use over a long period of time (more than 10 years in normal use) and resistance to cold, heat, voltage, humidity, and electrostatic discharge. The TRX BF01 is a wireless multi-gigabyte chip that can be used for next-generation unlicensed 5G for fixed wireless access (FWA) to the home or mesh networks for backhaul. Sivers IMA claims that it is the only chip that can use the entire unlicensed 5G band all the way from 57 GHz to 71 GHz, a band now available throughout the United States and England to be used as free and unlicensed 5G spectrum.The TRX BF01 has already sold to Cambridge Communication Systems (CCS), which is now building unlicensed 5G systems around England in multiple locations. This month, CCS announced that its Metnet 60G unlicensed mmWave wireless solution delivering up to 12 Gbps per radio is now live in the historic center of Bath in England, delivering gigabit backhaul to support interactive 5G smart tourism applications and enhanced visual experiences using augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology.The deployment and go-live of CCS’s Metnet 60-GHz self-organizing mesh radios across the center of Bath is part of the 5G testbed program in the U.K. The test network is being delivered by key partners — including CCS, BT, Zeetta, InterDigital, and University of Bristol Smart Internet Lab — to demonstrate self-provision of 5G and Wi-Fi plus mmWave backhaul capabilities from CCS. The network demonstrates innovative use of the new 57- to 71-GHz unlicensed band and highlights the huge potential for the 14 GHz of spectrum — recently opened up by U.K. regulator Ofcom — for enabling the delivery of ubiquitous high-speed connectivity through gigabit 5G fixed wireless access services

5G: Huawei India CEO says open to provide source code for screening to allay security concerns

Chinese telecom gear maker Huawei said that it is actively engaged with the Indian government and telecom operators, and is ready to put up its “source code” for screening and testing to allay security concerns.“In the UK, the government had set up a test center, and we had put original source code in that center for full screening and testing. In 2010, there were security concerns in India, and we had given committed to the Indian government to put our source code. We were the only one to do that. We are ready to do that now,” Jay Chen, Huawei chief executive officer in India said.Chen said that there hasn’t been any evidence that proves security-related allegations against the company’s products and solutions. “There has been no proof. All telcos have chief security officers that work with our security officer. We have a very mature working mechanism on security checks and everything,” he further said, adding that the Indian govt and telecom operators are very mature. The executive added that Huawei is 100% employee-owned company, and isn’t state-owned or a public company in China. Media reports said that Huawei will invest $2 billion in cybersecurity over the next five years as part of its global efforts to ease security concerns. ET on Friday reported that India was unlikely to ban Huawei from selling 5Gequipment in the country, in a reversal of its earlier stance, despite the US calling for a boycott over espionage concerns.The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) on Monday defended Huawei amid reports that said that the Telecom Equipment and Services Export Promotion Council (TEPC) was planning to seek restriction against the Chinese telecom gear maker over national security concerns. The industry body, in its letter to the telecom secretary, urged the government to not take any decision in haste on the basis of "alleged concerns" raised by the TEPCTelecom equipment providers such as Sweden’s Ericsson and Finland’s Nokia source parts from China but both say they have tight controls and security protocols in place.Chen said that the company is committed to making further investments in the country, and is currently working on a plan to resume local manufacturing of telecom gear and enterprise products.“We are thinking over the new plant for carrier business and enterprise. We are closely working with HQ for the new plant. We recently met people in Chennai. We understand Make in India project,” Chen said.Huawei earlier this year moved from its special economic zone (SEZ) manufacturing to FTW zone near Mumbai due to low demand for equipment and other challenges.On the handset part, the company recently extended its manufacturing capabilities by partnering with Foxconn. It already works with Flex to make handsets in India.Chen said that Huawei’s headquarters (HQ) considers India as a priority market and recently gave its support to the Indian unit to take part in the upcoming 5G field trials. “5G real trial is a real investment. we discussed with the HQ,” he said, adding that the company made recent investments in setting up a new enterprise lab in Gurugram.Huawei has earlier this week submitted joint applications with telcos for 5G trials. Chen said that the company is under discussions with all three private telcos in India. “We are waiting for the DoT’s final approval for these tests. We are also working with them for the trial spectrum.,” he added.

US has a 'concerted strategy' to push allies to reject Huawei's 5G equipment: Eurasia Group

Miquel Benitez | Getty ImagesThe United States is pushing its allies to shut out Chinese tech giant Huawei's 5G networks due to national security concerns as the high-speed technology is set to play a critical role in the 21st century, a Eurasia Group expert said Tuesday.Japan, Washington's close ally, will reportedly stop buying Huawei and ZTE network equipment for government offices and its military forces. Huawei has also been excluded from providing technology for the core 5G network that's being developed by U.K. telecoms firm BT.Australia and New Zealand have also banned Huawei from participating in building their 5G networks — the next generation of mobile technology expected to revolutionize the interaction of internet-connected devices and appliances."This is part of a concerted strategy on the part of the United States to pressure allies, western countries and other like-minded allies not to include Chinese 5G equipment in their next generation networks," Kevin Allison, director of geo-technology at risk consultancy Eurasia Group, said Tuesday on CNBC's "Squawk Box."Allison said that 5G technology is a "geopolitically consequential network upgrade" that represents a new level of innovation with major implications for a number of sectors including driverless vehicles, smart cities, advanced factories and artificial intelligence.Such technologies "are really going to set the tone for the rest of the 21st century," he said, citing intense competition in areas such as the race for faster economic growth and stronger militaries.The U.S. approach to box in Huawei is also a factor in its broader conflict with China over trade, Allison said.Complicating the tariff conflict is Canada's arrest on Dec. 1 of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer and daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, for alleged violation of U.S. sanctions against Iran. The U.S. is seeking her extradition and hearings are ongoing in Vancouver.'Strictly complies'China has strongly criticized the treatment of Meng and summoned the ambassadors of both Canada and the U.S. to complain.Huawei, in a letter to its suppliers released late Thursday, said that it "strictly complies with all applicable laws and regulations in our global business operations" and added it "is not aware of any wrongdoing (by Meng)."Allison predicted that the U.S. effort will result in "a split between a 5G network that is built with Chinese technology in some countries, and networks that are built to be free of Chinese technology in other countries."That echoes the view of former Google top executive Eric Schmidt who said earlier this year that within the next decade there will be two separate internets: one led by the U.S. and the other by China.Key vendors in the 5G network business besides Huawei and fellow Chinese company ZTE include Sweden's Ericsson, Finland's Nokia, South Korea's Samsung, Japan's NEC and Fujitsu, as well as Intel, Qualcomm and Cisco of the United States, according to a Eurasia Group report in November.Josh Kallmer, executive vice president for policy at the Information Technology Industry Council, expressed hope for a system of rules whereby questions of security and competition can be balanced."Certainly there's no more important role for a government than to look after national security but it's also important to pursue these commercial issues in the context of a rules based environment," Kallmer told CNBC."We're confident that if both China and the United States and other markets commit to that, then companies will be able to compete on the merits that everybody will have a fair shake at succeeding — and that's the outcome we should all prefer," he said.
