A person familiar with the matter revealed that Huawei's subsidiaries are currently supplying chips to monitoring camera manufacturers, which is a sign of Huawei's further breakthrough in US technology blockade.
According to Reuters on Wednesday (September 20), two people familiar with the matter reported that Hisilicon Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Huawei, began to deliver to monitoring camera manufacturers this year, at least part of which is Chinese customers.
Hisilicon Semiconductor mainly provides chips for Huawei equipment. Dahua Technology and Hikvision are also customers of Hisilicon Semiconductor.Before the United States implemented an export control order, Hisilicon was the main chip supplier of monitoring the camera industry. Brokerage company Southwest Securities estimated that in 2018, Haisi's share in the global market was 60%.However, after the sanctions effective, the data from the consulting company Frost Sullivan showed that Hisilicon's market share plummeted to 3.9%in 2021.
A source said that since 2019, Hisilicon has shipped some low -end monitoring chips, but at present, Hisilicon seems to have begun to ship to the high -end market andTyk Microelectronics Company and other companies regain market share.
Sources familiar with the supply chain of the surveillance camera industry said that although the monitoring camera chip is relatively easy to make compared to smartphone processors, Hisilicon's return will still shake the market.
Huawei suddenly sold the new Mate 60 Pro smartphone at the end of August. This new machine is said to use the domestic 7 -nanometer process chip and the network speed of 5G.EssenceIt is reported that the return of Hisilicon Semiconductor further shows that Huawei is gradually overcome Washington's scientific and technological blockade.
The sanctions on Huawei in the United States in 2019, resulting in Hisilicon's unable to obtain the electronic design automation (Cadence), SynopSys and Mentor Graphics (SynopSys), and Metono.EDA) software, and these three companies dominate the chip design field.
Techinsights analyst Hamson said that the analysis of other components such as Mate 60 Pro and its radio frequency power chip also shows that Huawei already has the "EDA tools they should not have"."We don't know if they are illegally obtained, or it is more likely that China has developed its own EDA tools."
