Alibaba says its NFC technology extends distance from 20 cm to 3 meters

Alibaba recently announced that its self-developed NFC technology breaks through the limits of the communications industry, expanding the traditional near-field communication perception distance in any direction from 20 cm to 3 meters, the longest in the world.
Most mobile phone NFC applications have a very short contactless communication distance.
On the one hand, this is due to its operating frequency of 13.56MHz and a communication distance of 0-20cm (in reality, most products are within 10cm).
On the other hand, the shorter distance also makes NFC technology more secure and more suitable for some financial applications. However, the application scope of NFC technology is limited and the expansion of the scene becomes an obstacle.
Dr. Liu Hongqiang, head of Alibaba Cloud's network research team, introduced that the NFC technology has broken through the key bottlenecks in achieving automated logistics, and can be widely used in scenarios requiring long-distance, large-scale, full-category identification of goods information in the future.
For example, in traditional logistics centers, goods in and out of the warehouse are usually manually picked up by workers, take the parcel under the machine scanning completed, workers need to repeat this complex action every day for a long time.
With the application of the latest NFC technology, the machine can be separated by a distance of 3 meters at the same time to complete hundreds of parcels of high-accuracy sensor scanning.
This achievement was accepted by SIGCOMM 2020, the global summit of network communication. Five Alibaba papers were selected, ranking first among all participating Chinese organizations and setting a new Chinese record.

Dubbed “China’s largest domestic smart voice chip supplier,” Allwinner Technology (Allwinner) has reached a strategic cooperation with Alibaba’s chip subsidiary T-Head to develop a new computing chip based on the T-head “XuanTie” processors, according to Forbes China.
The chip will be used in factory control, smart home appliances, consumer electronics and other fields. The joint venture is expected to produce 50 million chips in three years, according to Forbes China.
The first joint-produced item of the two parties has been developed: the universal computing power chip based on the T-Head RISC-V-based “XuanTie” 906 and 902 processors. The new processors can further shorten the mass production cycle and is expected to achieve new breakthroughs in power consumption, reported by Chinese Tech media TMTPost.
SEE ALSO:
According to TMTPost, Allwinner’s annual shipments of chips are more than 100 million units. In the past ten years, its core products have been developed based on the ARM architecture.
Founded in 2007, Allwinner describes itself as an “intelligent application processor SoC,” “high-performance analog device,” and “wireless interconnect chip design” manufacturer, according to the company’s website.

Huawei expected to produce 74 million 5G phones this year, ranking first in the world

Amid China's aggressive 5G push, Huawei is expected to produce about 74 million 5G mobile phones this year, ranking it No. 1 worldwide, market research firm TrendForce said in a report released today.
Huawei has been affected by the U.S. export ban and is now focusing on domestic sales in China.
Chinese mobile phone brands have advanced deployment of 5G mobile phones, and have already captured 75% of the global market share in the first half of 2020, the report said.
TrendForce said that in addition to Android brands, Apple's new phones will also join the 5G list in the second half of 2020.
Apple's total production of 5G mobile phones is estimated to be about 70 million units, ranking second in the world.
Samsung has lost ground in the Chinese market in recent years, the total production of 5G mobile phones for the year is only about 29 million units, ranking third in the world.
Vivo, OPPO (including One Plus, OPPO, Realme) and Xiaomi shipments are similar, and in recent years have been squeezed by Huawei's expansion of market share in China, and the three actively strive for overseas market share to maintain annual production performance.
The report predicts that the three will produce 21 million, 20 million and 19 million units of 5G mobile phones.
Under the forecast that total smartphone production will remain at 1.243 billion units, 5G handset production will account for 235 million units, with a penetration rate of 18.9 percent.
Samsung losing ground in China is euphemistic. Totally lost the market sounds more like it.
What, so whatever companies can simply be slapped on with a spying label and demanded to be sold off to US investors now ??????
Well, companies get approached all the time by investors and other companies for a buyout so it's hard to know how serious the talks are. This is only in the news because TikTok has been in the news.
I do think that if ByteDance was willing to sell 51% of TikTok's U.S. business to U.S. investors, that could be a solution because it would mean any U.S. government action against TikTok would hit U.S. investors first. The key for Chinese and foreign companies doing business in the U.S. is to make sure U.S. interests are tied to the business, else they can just kick out any Chinese company with little repercussions. So it makes sense to infuse U.S. capital, labor, resources, etc.
Unlike Huawei, I don't think TikTok is high on the priority list for the CCP. So if ByteDance thinks the CCP won't back them in the event of a U.S. ban, then it makes sense to seek alternative solutions so that they can at least reap in partial economics by continuing to operate.
IMO even if ByteDance is willing to sell I feel like Chinese regulators would likely block it out of technology transfer concerns. It also looks poorly from a domestic PR front, which is what truly matters for China.
There was an interview American woman journalists, kept badgering Ren to "take Huawei public" so that American investors can "invest" in them... she kept asking him if he would be open to selling Huawei to the US... its the same pattern.
US wanted to pull another Samsung on Huawei...
