U.S. 911 service will struggle without Huawei: Report
The U.S. banned Huawei in the name of security threats but the company has always denied it as no evidence has been found in the process. However, no one cannot deny the reach and accessibility of Huawei network equipment as it helped the company to become and remain the largest network equipment maker for years and it Huawei could also affect essential services such as 911 in the U.S.
Following the U.S. ban, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced to remove all of the Huawei and ZTE made network equipment from their home-based network carriers as well as other carrier services in all sectors.
Later on, FCC announced a fund that will help carriers to remove and replace network equipment made by Huawei and ZTE as well as other blacklisted network gear makers. However, the fund wasn’t found to be sufficient and FCC then had to revise its plan and increased the overall supporting fund.
As recently, an interesting input coming from Bloomberg suggests that network carriers are still struggling to get over the Huawei network gear replacement. The main reason behind this havoc is related to the overall fund that is approved for the removal procedure.
Data suggest that over 100 telecom providers across the country connect calls for hundreds of thousands of people with network equipment made by Huawei and ZTE. This is quite a big challenge for FCC to cover and address in the latest scenarios.
Carriers are worried about the reinstallation of new equipment without adequate funding, which could cause issues in essential services such as 911 or halt it together in key U.S. areas after replacing equipment from Huawei.
The report mentions that firms including United Wireless Communications, which services 17 countries in Southwest Kansas, is choosing the services that it needs to chop if they don’t get sufficient funds to replace the network equipment.
If United Wireless doesn’t get enough of the $173.5 million it’s seeking from the FCC, cellphone connectivity at the lake, including 911 service, will be cut. If the subsidy is reduced too much, the company might have to shut down.
While in availability, Huawei has brought in cheap yet effective network services for network service providers, which are available around the globe but U.S. carriers are now realizing that it won’t be easy to leave Huawei’s hands so easily.
What is 911?
911 lines are designated for emergency calls, such as reporting a crime in progress, reporting a fire, or requesting an ambulance.
ChatGPT is a raging storm on the internet and everyone is talking about this AI-powered instant reply software but Huawei says, it has long mastered such technology.
A person in charge of Huawei’s computing product section said that Huawei began to have a layout in the large model in 2020. In the following year, Huawei launched Pengcheng Pangu, which is a super-large model and the first of its kind in the industry.
This model can generate 100 billion levels of processes and can generate responses or understand Chinese natural language processing as well as speech recognition.
To be mentioned, Pangu NLP large model was the world’s largest Chinese language pre-training model with 100 billion parameters at that time. The sample tuning of the data improves the application performance of the model in the scenario.
Patent:
Recently, two patents have surfaced on China’s intellectual property office, which reveal Huawei’s use of AI in instant reply software. However, we can say that Huawei has already applied a lot of AI software to human conversation technology, which was way ahead of ChatGPT. But Huawei has not revealed any plans to implement such tech in Huawei devices.
ChatGPT:
ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, and quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. Its uneven factual accuracy, however, was identified as a significant drawback. Following the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s valuation was estimated at US$29 billion.
