readx;? As the first commercial paging system of ST Group, its data centre is located in one of the best rooms of the Institute of Electronics of the Academy of Sciences. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info┡81 Chinese Δnet

In theory, ST Communications has rented the computing power of the Electronics Research Institute. In cooperation with the Xiucheng Railway Communication Company, a paging network that can cover the whole city has been laid, and at least 5 million yuan has been invested in Xiucheng alone.

Of course, these costs are really nothing compared to a pager of 5,000 yuan.

Coupled with a monthly service fee of more than 150 yuan, it is not an exaggeration to call this paging network a hen that lays golden eggs.

Hu Wenhai was sitting in the battery car, Meng Zhengfeng was driving in front of him, and Ni Guangnan was sitting next to him. If this lineup is put in 30 years, it will really be no one.

In fact, it is not only he who has taken a fancy to this paging system, but also the whole ST Group has long known about the huge profits of the communications industry. However, the exhibition of the communication industry is also more dependent on the local economic environment, if it is not for the rapid economic development of Xiucheng in recent years, the people have a large amount of wealth accumulation, and the expensive pager may only be priceless.

"What is the current number of users of our paging system?" Sitting in the car, Hu Wenhai asked with some impatience and interest.

Meng Zhengfeng, who was driving in front, opened his mouth and replied: "The number of users is about 2,300, but this is the number of users of the previous experimental network. Starting today, the paging signal can cover the entire embroidery city, and I believe that the number of users will grow soon. ”

"I have no doubt about that. Hu Wenhai nodded and expressed a positive attitude towards Meng Zhengfeng's expectations.

In the past, ST Group had already set up a paging network in some urban areas of Xiucheng on an experimental basis. With this imperfect service scope alone, the number of users has increased to more than 2,000. Now that the service network covers the whole city, it is conceivable that the number of users will definitely experience a wave of blowouts.

"The paging system is just a transitional project for our wireless communications, but it is still very promising commercially. ”

Hu Wenhai is not worried that Meng Zhengfeng will not see the future of the paging system, and his talent in business, as the future boss of the chrysanthemum factory, must be trustworthy in this regard. The question that needs to be worried is not ST Group, but whether the current domestic environment is ready to enter the paging industry.

The battery car drove unhurriedly on the roads of the academy, but it didn't take long to reach the place.

A rather "thick" red brick building, which is the central computer room of the New Academy of Sciences. Its building standards are designed to withstand seismic intensity of magnitude 8, equipped with independent emergency power supply and other systems, which fully meet the requirements of the future Internet data center.

From this small detail, it can be seen that Hu Wenhai actually built this place as a data center for the future of China's Internet.

And in terms of functionality, it is already providing some of the functions of the data center.

At least some domestic research institutes in the electronics, communications, railway, and aviation power industries have been able to access specific server data with very low networks through primitive modem equipment.

Another system with the same function is now set up in the head office of CSSC Imperial Capital, providing services for shipyards across the country that can participate in the construction of the giant general section.

Walking into the first floor of the central computer room, here is the data exchange center of the Xiucheng paging system. Aluminum alloy ceilings, latex paint walls and marble terrazzo floors, combined with the red brick shape, the biggest feature here is to give people a feeling of heaviness.

You must know that at present, the data that needs to be sent by the base station of the city's paging system is sent here from the call center of the telephone bureau, and then converted into a digital signal from here and sent to the designated base station.

To put it bluntly, this is the most important technical core of the Xiucheng paging system -- this is a full set of equipment and technology developed by the Institute of Electronics of the New Academy of Sciences.

Of course, the importance of such an important location cannot be overemphasized.

However, in fact, the computing equipment that provides services for more than 2,300 users in Xiucheng is only two cabinets in the central computer room.

The computing power that the central computer room of the Academy of Sciences can provide at present is far beyond the level required by the paging system.

If it weren't for the paging system, which was set by Hu Wenhai as an important strategic direction for the next stage of the group, the central computer room of the Academy of Sciences would not have used the important computing power for commercial applications.

The lease agreement provided by the Academy of Sciences to ST Communications was for a short period of one year. A year later, the telecommunications company will have to set up its own data room.

The reason is very simple, the central computer room of the new Academy of Sciences shoulders too many important tasks.

Suffice it to say that on the third floor of the central computer room, a class computer dedicated to aerodynamic calculations is now being assembled.

For complex 3D flow field calculations, its IC is even a special IBSP optimized for multi-party processing and floating-point operations. Once assembled, it not only provides aerodynamic calculations for aircraft design, but also serves as an important tool for jet motion and gas turbine technology development.

Similarly, 3D simulation technology is being opened on the second floor, with the aim of providing a decent visual representation for the flight simulator. The minimum requirement is to increase the computing power and display output capacity to the level of the Pentium computer in five years.

Compared with these important projects, it is no wonder that the people of the Electronics Research Institute are not interested in the "small" processing volume of the paging network.

Even so, there were still many people waiting for Hu Wenhai to appear in the central computer room at this time.

When Hu Wenhai, Ni Guangnan, and Meng Zhengfeng just appeared in the corridor outside the communication data room, a group of people in white coats rushed over.

"Yo, it's Mr. Hu here!"

"Hello Mr. Hu, I'm from Hanhai Electronics Factory-"

"Mr. Hu, I am from Linhai Telecom Company, may I ask you about this system-"

"Everyone be quiet and don't interfere with the work of researchers. Meng Zhengfeng, who opened the road in front, waved his hand again and again, and said in a somewhat stern tone: "It is strictly forbidden to make noise in the central computer room, everyone please be quiet, if the voice is loud, any researcher's hand shakes, maybe it will be a loss of tens of thousands of yuan! Don't be too anxious, if you have something to say!"

Under Meng Zhengfeng's resolute and strict norms, the crowd gradually quieted down.

"I'm sorry guys, but please wait for me for a moment. Hu Wenhai waited for Meng Zhengfeng to sing blackface, then he stood up and sang red-faced, and said with a smile: "I'll go to the exchange center to find out the situation first, and then we will have a lot of time to have a good chat." ”

As he spoke, the door of the computer room, which had been closed before, opened from the inside, and the staff hurriedly ran out to let Hu Wenhai, Ni Guangnan and others in.

The data processing volume of Xiucheng paging system is not large, and the data pressure brought by more than 2,000 users is not 100 at the same time.

A six-digit phone number with paging data is not more than 1k data per user, even if space is reserved for future feature upgrades. With a data processing capacity of 1ook per second, the computation load of this system is seriously overflowing.

In this state, the data of the operation of the system is of course quite good. Hu Wenhai personally inspected the situation, and there will be no special situation.

So after walking around the computer room, Hu Wenhai turned out with a satisfied face.

In fact, whether there will be problems with the paging system when it goes online, he knows it himself. I rushed to the Academy of Sciences in such a hurry today, on the one hand, to express my importance to business, and on the other hand, the drunkard did not mean to drink.

From the very beginning, ST Group never thought of laying a paging network in person and selling pagers one by one to make money.

Xiucheng's paging network was put into commercial operation, not so much to make money, but to build a demonstration project. It is not only to demonstrate how to build a paging network, but also to demonstrate what kind of efficiency a paging network can make money and how.

Xiucheng's experimental network has done this very well, and the pager is now a status symbol in Xiucheng. In addition to some self-employed people in society, government agencies are the largest users of the paging network.

In some departments of the Xiucheng City Government, the section chief can be equipped with pagers. In important units such as police stations and criminal investigation brigades, pagers are equipped with individuals. From the point of view of efficiency and convenience, the equipment of pagers can be said to be popular.

In other areas, hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars can be invested in other areas, and the cost can be recovered in one year, and the laying area can be expanded to the entire urban area in two years, which is the efficiency of the paging network to create profits.

Waiting outside the gate of the computer room were the pioneers who came from all over the country. There are gold diggers who plan to end up in person, and there are people who plan to stand on the shore and sell shovels, sieves and jeans.

If you have to find a place in this gold rush of the paging network, ST Group is probably the one who puts the price on gold.

Not only in the field of paging network, but also in Hu Wenhai and ST Group's strategic positioning for their future, are similar to such roles.

"Everyone, we have a lot of time to communicate. ”

Hu Wenhai stood in front of the door of the computer room, and in the floor-to-ceiling glass windows behind him was the central computer room full of science fiction, exuding irresistible persuasiveness.

"Not only the software and hardware solutions of the pager, but also the base station system of the pager, we are willing to cooperate with everyone. Hu Wenhai smiled kindly: "It doesn't matter if the production and operators are temporarily short of funds, we can provide bank loans, and even debt-to-equity swaps can be discussed!"

"The only request, just one point. Hu Wenhai suddenly retracted his smile: "All the companies represented must use our technical standards and pass the technical certification of ST Group. (To be continued.) )
