Huawei technology much superior than Ericsson, Nokia, says Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal

Sunil Mittal said that large amount of economic value to big US companies like Facebook, Google, Snapchat rests on the people of India.

Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman of Bharti Enterprises, commenting on US' stand on Huawei, said that the Chinese firm's technology was far superior than rivals Ericsson and Nokia's. "I have tracked this industry for 24 years. Huawei have become extremely good with their products in the last 10-12 years to a point that I can safely say today that, at least in 3G/4G that we have experienced, they are significantly superior to Ericsson and Nokia," he said. He was responding to a question on if the US' push to not pick 5G spectrum from China was unfair on India, considering the European counterparts' tech was costlier.

"Huawei has actually surprised me on how fast they have been able to take the technology curve to the level where it is leading-edge, power consumption is fraction of the Europeans, footprint is very small and they have very powerful leading features," Mittal added.

Mittal was in conversation with US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, commerce minister Piyush Goyal, Rubana Huq, the MD of Bangladeshi conglomerate Mohammadi Group and Vikram Kirloskar, CMD of Kirloskar Systems. 

Mittal also said that US needs to understand India. "Many of us have invested in the US. We generally have a very warm welcome in the US. People are enjoying the business activity, your nation is rising dramatically, duties are in good shape, taxes are in good shape. But you are also the world power and you have some duties and obligations towards building strategic alliances with countries like India and Bangladesh. We are nowhere to being a developed nation, we are certainly an emerging market and I think we need a little bit of indulgence and understanding from your side," said Mittal to Ross.

LAook at India - Facebook, Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat - these are large US companies. Each of them is dominant in India. They are not even allowed to enter China. So, large amount of economic value to these companies rest on the people of India. I hope you will take note of that. When you fight for small issues like Harley Davidson duties, they are much too immaterial. The oldest and largest democracies deserve a much stronger strategic partnership," he said.

Commenting on US-China dynamics, Mittal also said, "We were surprised how US has for a long period of time allowed a manufacturing industry of that size and scale to develop in China at the cost of decimating the US manufacturing bases. This has been going on for decades to the benefit of China. Because of lack of infrastructure, high cost of production, countries like India could not participate in the process," he said.

He added that with two businessmen (President Trump and Commerce Secretary Ross) on positions of power, their focus is certainly on China. Mittal said that while they were taking it head-on and making some amends, it appears that there's a misdirection of some of their ire towards countries like India. "And I would urge you to keep in mind that this country has opened up absolutely and freely to foreign investments," he added

DDiS, VVT, VTVT, understand what is this?

I t took us million of years to evolve into human beings. The case with IC engines too is not very different, and the frugal yet powerful engines that power our cars today are a result of over several decades of work. The development curves of engines from different manufacturers may have been different, but they tried to modify certain key parameters to bring engines at this stage. VTVT / VVT etc. can be put under one such technology group. In this article, we discuss it in detail.  1. DDIS  (Diesel direct injection system) refers to the type of diesel engines for cars . They are equipped with turbochargers, which increase availability of oxygen, resulting in better combustion thus increasing the engine performance. 2. Variable valve timing ( VVT ) is the process of altering the timing of a valve lift event, and is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions. It is increasingly being used in combination with variable valve lift systems. It varies the timing

5 technologies that make your bike into superbike.

This is where technology comes in. As it has done for four-wheelers, advances in science has made motorcycles hugely safer than what they used to be just two decades ago. Not to mention, they’re more efficient, more powerful, and a lot easier to ride harder these days. Science, technology, research and development, they’ve all played their part well. Here are the top five technologies that have made modern motorcycles safer and just generally easier to ride in the last couple of decades: 1.ABS(Auto Braking System): First introduced by General Motors in 1972, ABS has now made its way onto most modern motorcycles, imparting them almost the same level of safety as we’ve seen in their four-wheeeled counterparts. BMW was the first to pioneer ABS for motorcycles in 1988, and in 2010, Bosch announced the world’s first ABS designed specifically for motorcycles. Previous systems were based on passenger-car technology, but the new Bosch system was smaller and lighter and could be adapted
