According to recent studies, it is possible to go from 4G to 5G in only a few short seconds. When the idea of utilizing a smartphone cover to switch from 4G to 5G initially surfaced on the Internet, it was to save Huawei from bankruptcy. It’s interesting to note that the large corporation responsible for the creation of this instance isn’t well-known.
China Unicom, a primary Chinese carrier, said two months ago that it would formally release the “5G Communication Shell” and grant priority listing on China Unicom channels.
“5G communication shell” hardware, according to China Unicom, is what enables eSIM-based quick conversion from 4G to 5G. It is possible to utilize the China Unicom 5G network with this phone cover for Huawei P50 Pro.
EXCLUSIVE COMPANY INVOLVED IN “CONVERTING 4G TO 5G”
The Huawei P50 Pro on China Unicom’s platform nousuallyomes with the 5G smartphone cover. Even though China Unicom is heavily promoting this product, it is not a hardware product from China Unicom. Digital Source Technology is the primary brand behind the 5G communication case. Although this corporation was founded in 1973, it was only registered in China in 1999.
It specializes in digital electronic information and communication products. High-definition LCD TV, digital TV set-top boxes, information software, Internet of Things, Internet of Vehicles, new energy, real estate, software park development, and other industrial products and companies make up the company’s primary business.
In 2021, Digital Source Technology exexpectedevenue of 1.778 billion yuan ($264 million), a 32.2 per cent year-on-year growth. The company’s operating profit has increased by 98.86 per cent yearly to 120 million yuan ($18 million). Furthermore, its net profit has increased by 39.87 per cent year-on-year to 60 million yuan ($9 million). Despite the company’s lack of popularity, Digital Source Technology appears to be doing well financially.
Despite this success, the company’s business strategy remains unchanged, according to the corporation. According to the business, the “5G communication shell” is a personal electronic device for a limited number of people. External procurement is done via modules and other components.
HOW RECENT IS THE CONCEPT OF A 5G COMMUNICATION SHELL?
Initially, the article “Convert 4G to 5G in seconds” looked like a revolutionary new technique. On the contrary, similar technology has existed in the past. 5G communication shells have been around for some time. OrInitiallyntroduced in the 2010s, the “Apple Peel” let users turn their iPod Touch from an MP4 player with music and video playback capabilities into an iPhone with messaging, web browsing, and phone calling capabilities.
The “Apple Peel” resembles a phone case in appearance. There is a physical SIM card slot, a communication module, and a data interface at the bottom of the protective shell. A communication module is available to the MP4 peripheral in layman’s words, which has a communication function.
5G COMMUNICATION SHELL CONCEPT IS LIKE APPLE PEEL
To put it another way, the “Apple Peel” approach is akin to “5G communication shell.” The eSIM card is essentially a physical SIM card converted into an eSIM.
There is a virtual SIM card known as the “eSIM” that telecom companies aggressively advertise. eSIM is being pushed by phone and hardware makers alike. SIM, Mini-SIM, Micro-SIM and Nano-SIM are just a few of the phone cards that have existed over the years. Even if they’re becoming smaller, they’re all real cards. The eSIM is an embedded SIM, which means that the SIM card is physically integrated into the hardware device. This eliminates the requirement for a physical card for users.
Today, the majority of eSIM cards can be found on wearable electronics. Because the eSIM card is included inside the wristwatch, it may be associated with a smartphone and used with that phone. A dual terminal on a single number is created after the eSIM feature is enabled in the mobile phone APP and the wristwatch is able to access the Internet and make independent calls.
A SIM CARD INTEGRATED INTO A “CONVERT 4G TO 5G” TECHNOLOGY
If you have a phone with an embedded SIM card, your eSIM signal will be mixed in with your phone’s SIM card signal, giving you a 5G signal. According to the official website of Digital Source Technology, there is a USB port within the “5G communication shell”. When the mobile phone is aligned with the internal USB interface, a pop-up window for connecting and pairing with Huawei will appear immediately. After a successful pairing, you’ll be sent to the smart life management page, where you may activate your eSIM. Complete the operator’s eSIM service activation by selecting the SIM to be bound.

The communication shell has a thickness of 3.2mm and weighs 52g. The communication shell has a CPU chip with a twin core configuration. This communication shell supports three types of 5G networks: NSA, SA, and Sub-6. There is a charging port outside the phone case and a USB port within the communication case. Fast charging of smartphones is possible thanks to this feature.
It is a 5G CPE that functions with the ‘5G communication shell’ (which requires a physical SIM card). Manufacturers were forced to employ 5G CPE terminals since early 5G mobile phones were unavailable. It’s a 5G modem, and WiFi is all rolled into one. 5G base station signals may be converted to WiFi signals using a mix of routers. Users can test the 5G network speed on a WiFi network ahead of time.
