The ban on US companies that restricted trade with Huawei is now partially lifted. Google too has resumed relations with the company and so did most other US companies, but Huawei will now be wary of such threats from the west. While the ban was enforced, news broke that Huawei is working on an Android-alternative called Hongmeng OS. Now, Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei told a Chinese publication that the operating system will be more than just an Android replacement. It’s made to interconnect all devices.
The 75-year old executive said the OS works on just about everything including network switches, data centers, routers as well as smartphones. By the sound of it, Hongmeng OS holds good potential for being the OS of choice for IoT devices like smart homes, autonomous vehicles and the likes.
Ren also said the OS has a processing latency of less than 5 milliseconds and admitted that it could possibly be faster than both Android and macOS. However, Ren was apprehensive of the ecosystem Huawei is trying to build around the OS.
