Huawei’s 4G 5G communications Internet of Things charging standards are announced, with years of research and development results and a ten-year cost of nearly one trillion

Huawei has announced the patent charging standards for 4G\5G\WIFI6\Internet of Things in the past two days, which has triggered heated discussions. Huawei's standards are as follows:

[Charging standards] are as follows:

4G mobile phone license fee limit: US$1.5 per unit

5G mobile phone license fee limit: US$2.5 per unit

Wi-Fi 6 consumer device license fee cap: $0.50 per device

Internet of Things technology-based equipment license rate: 1% of the net selling price

Device licensing rates for enhanced connectivity through the Internet of Things: $0.3–$1 per device

Huawei's standard is still lower than international standards, because for patents in the same field, the patent license fee for Ericsson's 5G mobile phone is a maximum of 5 US dollars per unit, the patent license fee for Nokia's 5G mobile phone is 3 euros, and the patent license fee for Qualcomm's 5G multi-mode mobile phone The license fee ranges from 3.25% to 5% of the phone price.

Huawei stated that it attaches great importance to the protection of its own intellectual property rights and opposes excessive patent fees. Huawei also charged patent license fees from 30 Japanese companies a while ago, mainly involving fields such as wireless communication technology and automobile networking, as well as previous Japan's Suzuki Motor Corporation has obtained a 4G technology patent license for automotive networking from Huawei, and several major companies have reached patent licensing cooperation with Huawei.

Huawei has signed nearly 200 bilateral licensing agreements as of 2022, and its patent licensing revenue in 2022 will reach US$560 million. Huawei holds a total of more than 120,000 valid authorized patents around the world, and 29 companies have signed bilateral agreements with Huawei and paid to obtain Huawei's patent licenses. They come from China, the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea and other regions, and their standard essential patents are 6,500 The remaining items account for 14% globally, ranking first. Moreover, Huawei ranks first with 14.0% of global 5G patents.

Huawei’s many R&D patents are also the result of years of hard work. Huawei’s R&D has always been at the forefront of the world. In 2022, its R&D investment will reach 161.5 billion yuan, accounting for 25.1% of the annual revenue. The cumulative R&D expenses in the past ten years have exceeded 977.3 billion. In RMB, Huawei has a total number of employees of approximately 207,000 and R&D employees of approximately 114,000, accounting for approximately 55.4% of the total number of employees. Let’s look forward to better performance and more patents from Huawei.
