Hisilicon, a chip company owned by Huawei, has finally started to supply chips to companies other than Huawei. Previously, the company only provided chip products to Huawei, but during the recent ELEXCON 2019 electronics show in Shenzhen, Hisilicon released the first 4G communication chip targeted at the open market. Huawei’s motive for 2020 is totally different, this year Huawei going to be the part of every business including smart products, daily life products, robotics, etc.
The Shanghai Hisilicon, a Huawei subsidiary established in April last year, will sell its chip products on the open market. On the other hand, Shenzhen HiSilicon will be responsible for supplying chips to its parent company.
Hisilicon also changed the names of some product lines, expanded its business, and entered several new market segments. The company’s camera product line is currently known as Smart Vision and will soon expand from the professional security field.
