According to the Wall Street Journal, citing a report from UBS and Japanese technology laboratory, Fomalhaut Techno Solutions, Huawei Mate 30 Pro no longer contains US-made parts. The Wall Street Journal pointed out that Huawei has made great progress in getting rid of American parts and chips. Companies such as iFixit and Tech Insights Inc. disassembled the Huawei Mate 30 Pro to check the source of the components and reached similar conclusions. This means that Huawei phones for next year will probably not use any component from the US. Read More

An alliance is being forged between 5G and artificial intelligence
INTERVIEW: Rui Inácio, Head of Consultancy and Solutions at Vilicom has over 15 years of experience in the telecommunications industry, starting as an engineer.
He is a technical expert in 5G, 4G, 3G and 2G, multi-vendor RAN (Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia), network optimisation processes, network performance management and network configuration management. We spoke to him about 5G, IoT, AI, and how businesses can best take advantage of them – including how developed countries developed countries in industries affected by the offshoring advent of the 1990s and 2000s can regain a competitive position.

Every Part of the Supply Chain Can Be Attacked
When it comes to 5G technology, we have to build a trustworthy system out of untrustworthy parts.
The United States government’s continuing disagreement with the Chinese company Huawei underscores a much larger problem with computer technologies in general: We have no choice but to trust them completely, and it’s impossible to verify that they’re trustworthy. Solving this problem — which is increasingly a national security issue — will require us to both make major policy changes and invent new technologies. Read More
Distributing AI to the edge cloud and on-device
5G is about a lot of things that have a key commonality–the devices that connect to 5G will consume and create a lot of data of myriad profiles. Fortunately 5G is designed to handle all that data but people are not. Enter artificial intelligence, a rapidly developing set of tech that Qualcomm’s CTO Jim Thompson said “is going to have a much bigger impact at the edge of the network.”
Thompson and other company execs and communications staff, speaking throughout the Future of 5G workshop this week, called out “edge cloud” and on-device AI as key technologies to enabling both consumer and enterprise use cases. Read More
Edge computing and Artificial Intelligence: a new competitor for 5G
Edge computing combined with AI will allow to process enormous amounts of data locally. The additional cost of hardware accelerators is marginal. The computing performance of neural networks is boosted about ten times every year. The data can be processed in parallel, thereby outperforming traditional CPU design.
Usage of edge computing in applications such as self-driving cars, facial recognition or predictive maintenance is just the beginning. We will soon have enough computing power to build truly independently operating machines. They will be able to move safely in cities, factories and be almost as competent in their work duties as humans. Read More
Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G is the latest proof that 5G isn't for you — yet
Commentary: AT&T may be vindicated in withholding its 5G service from consumers so far.
AT&T has had, generously speaking, a mixed year when it comes to 5G. It kicked off 2019 by doubling down on its dubious 5GE claim, which misled consumers into thinking they had 5G, when they really were tapping into an advanced form of 4G that every other carrier already offered. After touting the launch of the world’s first 5G network in December, it still hasn’t made it available to anyone aside from select, friendly business customers. Even as Samsung launches its second 5G phone in the Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G, AT&T has yet to launch its consumer service.
But, as odd as it sounds, AT&T may have been right all along. Read More
Haier, China Mobile and Huawei Launch the World's First AI+5G Interconnected Factory
Haier, China Mobile, and Huawei jointly launched the world’s first AI+5G interconnected factory at the 2019 World Industrial Internet Conference (WIIC) in Qingdao. This improvement refines future smart manufacturing by innovating and transforming enterprise organizations, business models, and ICT technologies, and integrating key technologies such as AI and 5G.
China Mobile Shandong and Huawei helped complete 5G base station deployment for Haier’s interconnected factory in Zhongde Industrial Park, Huangdao District, Qingdao on June 13, 2019. Read More
We ran 5G speed tests on Verizon, AT&T, EE and more: Here's what we found
Raindrops splat the pavement in downtown Chicago as I balance an umbrella in the crook of my arm and phones in each hand. On my left, I’m downloading the PUBG Mobile game over Verizon’s 5G network. On my right, I’m timing how long it takes to install: 2.5 minutes (versus 6 minutes on 4G). What’s so exhilarating about this moment has less to do with the progress bar on my screen and more to do with bearing witness to one of the first live 5Gnetworks anywhere in the world..
After years of hearing how 5G is poised to change our lives with lightning-fast phone download speeds, and crisp, super high-resolution video calls, AR apps, and real-time gaming that are all lag-free, 5G is finally real. But it’s far from stable — and stability is the one thing 5G desperately needs. Read More
How 5G, AI and IoT enable “Intelligent Connectivity”
Intelligent connectivity is a concept that foresees the combination of 5G, the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence as a means to accelerate technological development and enable new disruptive digital services. In the intelligent connectivity vision, the digital information collected by the machines, devices and sensors making up the Internet of Things is analysed and contextualised by AI technologies and presented to users in a more meaningful and useful way. This would both improve decision-making and allow delivery of personalised experiences to the users, resulting in a richer and more fulfilling interaction between people and the environment surrounding them.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly sophisticated thanks to advances in computing power, the education of data scientists and the availability of machine learning tools for creating advanced algorithms, the Internet of Things is getting closer to becoming a mainstream phenomenon. 5G represents the missing element to bring these technologies to new levels and enable the intelligent connectivity vision. The ultra-fast and ultra-low latency connectivity provided by 5G networks, combined with the huge amount of data collected by the Internet of Things and the contextualisation and decision-making capabilities of artificial intelligence technologies will enable new transformational capabilities in virtually every industry sector, potentially changing our society and the way we live and work.

How the combination of 5G, AI, Big Data and IoT is set to change everything
The combination of 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), smart platforms and the Internet of Things (IoT) form the basis of what we call ‘Intelligent Connectivity’. With more than 5.1 billion unique subscribers and nearly 9 billion connections globally, mobile is already one of the most widely deployed technology platforms ever. However, Intelligent Connectivity takes this further and marks the beginning of an era of highly contextualised and personalised experiences, underpinned by ubiquitous hyper connectivity. It is set to impact almost every aspect of our daily lives from the way we consume entertainment to the way in which we learn and interact with colleagues. It will give people the information they need in an instant making our lives more productive and efficient. It will impact how entire industries innovate and operate, how societies interact and thrive and how economies flourish. Read More
