The consequences of the ban on Hauwei by the U.S. government were not long to come. Intel, Qualcomm and Broadcom also stopped any commercial relationship with the Chinese giant after Google's decision to suspend collaboration with the Chinese company and deprive the next Huawei smartphones of services and applications such as the Google Play Store and Gmail.
There is still no official confirmation from the three companies, but employees would have been notified of the suspension with immediate effects of any existing agreement, according to reports from Bloomberg. This is another hard blow to Huawei, which is also deprived of Intel processors on its computers after the impossibility of using Google's services on its smartphone. However, according to the well-informed, the Chinese company would not have been found unprepared and had stockpiled hardware components in the previous months which would allow it to make devices for another three months. Just enough time to deal with the government of the United States.
Intel, Qualcomm and Broadcom are suspending business relations with Huawei These days, the U.S. government's action against Huawei demonstrates its full strength. All U.S. suppliers who had relationships and business partnerships with Huawei had to stop them. Google was the first company to communicate the suspension of the agreements, but it wanted to reassure users of Huawei: the already sold Chinese giant's smartphones will continue to have Big G support.
Different speeches concerning Intel, Qualcomm and Broadcom forced to suspend the commercial agreements already signed. There is no official confirmation on this news, but the Bloomberg website reports that companies would inform their employees about the breakdown of Huawei relations. Intel supplies servers and processors for laptops to the Chinese company, while Qualcomm plays a marginal role in smartphone and wearable production.
Such decisions are currently not known from other U.S. companies. Microsoft, for example, provides Huawei with the portable computer operating system.
Do European producers leave Huawei?
Rumors have spread over the past few hours that even European manufacturers of processors are about to interrupt their business relationship with Huawei in order to comply with Trump's order. In fact, this is not the case and it was denied by both Infineon, a German company producing microchips, and by AMS, an Austrian company.
What Huawei is going to do Huawei is cornered, but it would be ready to respond to the US government's actions. Together with its own companies, the Chinese government has come down to threaten legal action and ensure maximum support. Moreover, Huawei had recently stocked up on hardware components, according to rumors, and would have hardware in its warehouses for another three months to produce devices.
