Huawei. The problems of the Chinese are starting to get bigger and bigger, after today the GSMA asked for a very careful analysis of the equipment that will be used for the 5G networks that will be launched in Europe. In this situation, Huawei very soon risks having the telecommunications equipment officially banned in Europe for 5G, and the Samsung company, which invests massively in such products, seems ready to take advantage of this situation.
Huawei. As more and more countries are convinced by the US to ban the use of Chinese 5G equipment for telephone networks, Samsung is investing more and more in its own telecommunications products. It seems that Samsung has decided to move managers and engineers from the division that produces smartphones to the one that produces telecommunications equipment to try to bring products to the market to replace those of Huawei in 2019.
Huawei is starting to be pushed aside by Samsung with telecommunications equipment
Huawei. Those from Orange would have praised Samsung's 5G equipment, after people from the group's management visited laboratories where 5G networks were being tested in Japan with the help of Korean equipment. Samsung has also started to promote its telecommunications equipment much more strongly in Europe, trying to cover the gap that Huawei will leave after its products will be banned at government level in various countries in the European Union.
Samsung Electronics is pouring resources into its telecom network equipment business, aiming to capitalize on the security fears hobbling China's Huawei. Those efforts include moving high-performing managers and numerous employees to the network division from its handset unit. Samsung is doing a big push in Europe at the moment.
Huawei. If in recent years the Chinese managed to make Samsung forgotten in China and some other areas of the world, now it's the turn of the Koreans to counterattack and steal customers where they know they could be very successful. Considering the situation that Huawei is going through at the moment, those from Samsung could recover part of the losses of the smartphone division by selling 5G equipment that the Chinese will not deliver.
Huawei. Even if for now everything seems quiet for the Chinese, the end of the month is going to bring a ban on products in the US, but also one from the GSMA, which has a much stronger impact.
