Chapter 185 CDMA Chips
Henry returned to Williams Lab and inquired about the progress of II, Java, and P2P research. P2P technology has been implemented for a long time, and research is underway on how to use it more maturely and efficiently. With the big framework of Java, the development speed is very fast, and the Java language can be launched within two years! It's just that the research and development speed of II technology is a little slow, and it may be difficult to apply it to the market without three or four years of development.
Henry thought of Bluetooth technology from II technology, and suddenly remembered that in 1994, the Swedish telecommunications giant Ericsson invented Bluetooth technology, this technology has a very gratifying application prospect, after the announcement, it quickly got a large number of companies including Motorola, 3, Lucent, Compaq, Siemens, etc., and then joined the Bluetooth Technology Alliance as many as more than 2,000 companies, including many of the world's most famous computers, Companies in the field of telecommunications and consumer electronics, as well as manufacturers and manufacturers of automobiles and cameras......
Bluetooth technology is a short-range, low-cost wireless connection technology, and is an open solution that can realize wireless transmission of voice and data. At a time when the II was not popular, Bluetooth technology was undoubtedly the best alternative!
Bluetooth technology was widely used in mobile phones in the early days! The most common is that two mobile phones are close to each other, connected to Bluetooth, and then realize wireless data transmission!
ii Technology and Bluetooth technology have their own merits.
Wii has advantages over Bluetooth in terms of medium and long distance and transmission speed, and Bluetooth is also unique in terms of low power consumption and cost.
Henry said that it is king to catch them all.
ii technology and Bluetooth technology are all in the bag!!
As a result, Henry couldn't wait to set up a Bluetooth development team, and recruited many fresh graduates from universities around the world majoring in wireless communication technology. Henry opened the golden finger and told them to try to study Bluetooth technology between the 2.402GHz and 2.480GHz range of the microwave spectrum. Henry was talking to them about trying, and in fact, the microwave spectrum of Bluetooth technology is in the range of 2.402GHz to 2.480GHz. In this way, there are fewer detours. Save a lot of time, whatever, you have to register the Bluetooth technology patent before Ericsson!!
Just when Henry was forming a small Bluetooth development team. The DMA chip developed by Qualcomm and ARM has been completed, combining Qualcomm's DMA technology with ARM instruction set core, with a strong and stable CDMA communication network, and supporting WAP services! WAP makes it possible to have a common standard for mobile inters. The goal is to bring INTER's abundant information and advanced services to wireless devices such as mobile phones.
Therefore, after the product launch, it caused a global sensation!
In particular, the proposal of WAP network communication protocol has made it possible for mobile phones to access the Internet. Global telecommunications giants, mobile phone manufacturers have rushed to Qualcomm in the United States!!
Although WAP has not yet formed a standard, Qualcomm is a giant company in CDMA technical standards, and the launch of WAP network communication protocols is a natural thing, and companies that do not want to join WAP are not good companies......
Even the GSM alliance has to kneel and lick to Qualcomm, who said that Qualcomm was the first to propose the WAP network communication protocol! Everyone recognizes it. Standards can be formed, and the GSM Alliance does not want to be eliminated, so it must come!! GSM Alliance actually does not want to promote WAP. The reason is that the GSM network uses narrowband technology, and the network speed is not good, but the CDMA network has a great advantage compared with it! If GSM proposes WAP, it is equivalent to doing CDMA a favor. Therefore, even if GSM thinks of this, it can't propose WAP when the market has not fully established!
What to do, Qualcomm is moving too fast. After the development of the CDMA chip, it has a WAP function, and the GSM Alliance suddenly has a deep sense of helplessness!
The GSM network is only low cost, and the others are comparable to CDMA. It's just useless!!
Under the influence of Henry, CDMA did not start much slower than GSM. In the past, Qualcomm started out as a small company, so CDMA was slow to develop, while GSM was backed by the European Union. CDMA struggled, but in the end it still relied on technology to kill the way, and what about GSM? In the end, it was eliminated, and even European countries have announced the cessation of GSM services!!
At present, analog mobile networks are still the mainstream in the world, but the development of GSM and CDMA has become a trend!
Especially in developed countries, the elimination of analog mobile networks is very fast, more than 65% of the market in Europe already belongs to GSM, and 55% of the market in North America belongs to CDMA.
It can be said that the analog mobile network is enough to ignore, and it is GSM and CDMA that really form a confrontation!
But as soon as the WAP comes out, I am afraid that the balance of victory will tilt in favor of CDMA.
The chip released by Qualcomm this time, named "Xiaolong 100," is a very simple entry-level "feature phone" chip, which sells for $1,000 per chip, but the cost price is less than $400!!
At present, a mobile phone generally costs three or four thousand dollars, and the most expensive component of a mobile phone is a communication chip!
After buying a "Xiaolong 100" chip, plus other manufacturing costs, the total cost of a mobile phone will not be as high as two thousand dollars, while you can buy three thousand, four thousand, or even five thousand dollars!!
A mobile phone that can access the Internet, this gimmick is not big enough?
In the United States, e-mail is very popular and has become a part of everyday life. As far as Henry knew in his previous life, some Americans would rather use a BB machine than a mobile phone because it was cheaper. I would rather take my phone and send an email than make a phone call, also because it is cheap. It's the same as texting Chinese without calling......
Naturally, mobile phones with email capabilities can definitely be sought after by the public!
Therefore, if mobile phones can send and receive e-mail, it will undoubtedly have a great competitive advantage for mobile phones and telecom operators!!
Therefore, the "Xiaolong 100" chip is extremely hot!!
In the United States, major telecommunications companies that have already built CDMA networks have begun to work closely with their own mobile phone manufacturers to suggest that they buy "Xiaolong 100" chips to produce customized phones. Mobile phone manufacturers also know the benefits of this "Xiaolong 100" chip, and immediately adjusted their production plans and purchased "Xiaolong 100" chips from Qualcomm to produce mobile phones that can access the Internet!!
In just one week, the number of orders is as high as 1 million chips, which is still the situation that the CDMA network is not popularized, if the CDMA network is popularized all over the world, the number of chips sold by Qualcomm will reach tens of millions a year. If mobile phones are also popular, each person will have to sell at least hundreds of millions of chips a year!!
Global mobile phone and telecom companies gathered at Qualcomm for the second time, last time it was the CDMA standard, this time the WAP standard. All major media have a different look at Qualcomm, why is this company so awesome!!!!
"Chairman, we did this WAP network communication protocol according to what you said before, and now WAP has attracted global attention, and it is only a matter of time before it forms a standard!!"
"Well, that's good!" Henry said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "First-class companies do standards, and Qualcomm wants to keep up with standards in the future!!"
"Yes, Chairman!!" (Please subscribe!)
