Chapter 242: Military Radio
"Damn, there are so many rules for a radio station, or you are good readers, you can do anything. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Chen Dasan pressed the mobile phone with his big calloused fingers for a long time, and found that there was nothing fun, so he handed the phone to the curious comrades next to him.
In fact, even the digitized army that the US military is engaged in now can only choose military radio as the army's communication tool because of security and confidentiality issues, and at most it is only decentralized to the squad level. Only officers such as squad leaders and platoon commanders can directly contact the company operations center for air support.
Individual soldiers are indeed equipped with a communicator, but it is only a single-channel radio station, which can only be connected to the communication network of the platoon, in other words, a local area network composed of more than 30 people in a platoon, and the contact range is only 3 kilometers. Of course, although the signal range of this communicator is narrow, it is still very suitable and useful for the communication and cooperation between various soldiers in urban street battles, and it is also convenient for the platoon commander to accurately command his subordinates to carry out tasks.
If every big-headed soldier can directly call for artillery support, with the behavior of the US military, they dare to summon B-1B lancers to bomb because they suspect that there are enemy troops in an adobe house, and if the bombers are not in place, they have to use Tomahawk cruise missiles on warships hundreds of kilometers away to clean up.
Although the Tomahawk is currently the cheapest cruise missile, it cannot withstand such a toss by the US military, and if every soldier has the ability to summon aerial bombardment, it is estimated that the US military logistics will be played bankrupt.
However, this is still a minor problem, and the key is that the secrecy and anti-interference of the army's communication system are the core issues, and as long as these two items can be achieved, it is not impossible to send them to every soldier. When the technology is in place, the era of a single soldier quantum communication radio is not far away, and the commander of the military region can directly direct the soldiers on the front line to perform tasks through video thousands of miles away, without worrying about being eavesdropped.
"We are already researching more lightweight and advanced military-grade radios, and the knapsack radio must be getting smaller and smaller, and it will be more robust and safer, and in the future it will be possible to ensure that each squad can be equipped with one, as for individual soldiers, they can only rely on roaring." Chen Xu told Chen Dasan that the group is now developing the latest radio station, so that this veteran does not have to worry about this problem.
"This is the best mobile phone we have ever made based on existing semiconductor materials, and due to the shape of the various parts, we had to make it square, but it was much smaller than a mobile phone made by Motorola." Secretary Ding took out a Motorola company's earliest big brother mobile phone from the display case, which was a test model that the company spent a lot of effort to buy from Europe.
According to history, the world's first commercial mobile phone that can be carried away in the real sense was not really launched until 85 years, weighing 6 catties. However, with the development of science, the weight dropped to about 2 catties in 87, and it is still a brick, but it is no problem to carry.
However, in this era, there is no 3G, 4G network, and it is still in the 1G era, the data transmission is very slow and small, and the mobile phone can only be used to make calls.
Although the mobile phone is very ugly, Chen Xu couldn't cry or laugh when he looked at such a strange mobile phone with no ergonomic design at all, even he didn't know how to judge its quality, although its shape is not very good, but it is indeed the most advanced mobile phone in the world now!
This square phone looks weird, but it has everything it should have, and there is a three-finger long black and white screen at the top, which can display simple letters and numbers, and there are number buttons under the screen, and there is a telescopic antenna at the top. The back is a removable battery that provides ample power.
Although this mobile phone is very ugly, but it is much better than the big brother, you must know that in China in about 90 years, mobile communication equipment became popular, a Motorola 3200 brick mobile phone costs 20,000, the network fee alone is seven or eight thousand, and the telephone bill is also pre-deposited 1,000, which can be described as a luxury.
You must know that in the early 90s, the purchasing power of 1,000 yuan was almost 20 times that of later generations, and people who were willing to spend almost 30,000 yuan to buy a big brother in Taiwan were about the same as today's multimillionaires and billionaires.
In this era, if anyone has a big brother mobile phone, it will definitely not be stuffed into his pocket, he must hold it in his hand and show it everywhere he goes, telling the people around him, "What you have is money!" ”。
The reason why the mobile phone is named 'Big Brother' by the Chinese people is probably for this reason.
And at that time, the big brother signal was not good, you had to hold up the mobile phone to find the signal everywhere, the battery was not durable, the charge could only be used for 30 minutes a night, the phone bill was a dollar a minute, and it was big and heavy, except for pretending to be almost useless, there was much faster to find the signal with the public phone on the street.
"This mobile phone will definitely be able to do a lot when it comes on the market now, but at most it will be the plaything of those rich people, and it will definitely not become the kind of commodity that sells well all over the world. It will only be used as a high-tech communication product, becoming the vane of the mobile phone industry, telling the world's electronic manufacturers that the era of mobile phones has come! Chen Xu shook the heavy square mobile phone in his hand and shook his head, this thing can indeed bring a lot of fame to Panda Communications, but it will not make much money, but it will remind those electronics companies such as Silicon Valley and Japan to quickly follow up and occupy the global mobile communication hardware equipment market.
The global mobile communications market is a super delicious cake, from hardware, software, and every part of the network can support dozens of Fortune 500 companies.
If you really want to promote mobile phones to the world, you must first take the lead in establishing Panda communication base stations in key cities around the world, and use this as a node to slowly expand until it becomes a global communication network.
The communication network is absolutely profitable, as long as the stable and strong signal of the base station is ensured, a one-time investment can be charged regularly every month.
In order to become the absolute hegemon of the wireless communication network, Chen Xu decided to skip the backward 1G analog mobile network, directly popularize the second-generation mobile communication network with digital voice transmission technology as the core in the world, and at the same time develop the third-generation 3G digital video transmission technology and 4G network technology as a technical reserve.
The biggest difference between each generation of communication networks is that the application is becoming more and more extensive, for ordinary people, they don't understand the technology, they will only clearly feel, as long as there is a 4G signal, even in the suburbs, you can open your mobile phone to watch videos, browse the web, and if there is only a 2G network, you can only read a txt file of novels, and it is very stuck.
The investment in base stations is not a small amount, if it costs a lot of money to build a base station with 1G analog signals in the world, it will take a few years to fully start upgrading to 2G, so repeated base station investment is not conducive to cost savings.
What's more, now that there are companies in Europe and the United States that are building new 1G communication base stations, Chen Xu must have a technical advantage to defeat these local snakes if he wants to squeeze in.
The high-tech mobile phones released by the Panda Group can only use the signal of the Panda communication network, and under the premise of hardware monopoly and network monopoly, it is simply impossible for foreign communication providers to become bigger.
Of course, Chen Xu also knows that with the urine of those foreign capital groups, once he sees the huge profits in the communication market, he will definitely launch an anti-monopoly investigation in his own country and use various obscene methods to force Panda Communications to withdraw.
Not to mention that the United States and the European Union have anti-monopoly laws, even the flower growers themselves have such laws to maintain the normal competition order of the market.
The possibility of being investigated by the anti-monopoly investigation is almost 100% for the behavior of Panda Group, but all large conglomerates and large companies are generally troubled by the anti-monopoly law, and as long as the expansion is too huge, it will inevitably be targeted by the Ministry of Justice, and then break you up.
The most striking example is the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1949, which was actually the Bell Telephone Company, and it was natural for people to invent the telephone to establish a company, and later this telephone company developed into a giant.
Because of its technological and patent advantages, Bell Telephone Company monopolized almost all of the long-distance and short-distance markets in the United States, and was finally sued by the U.S. Department of Justice and then split into eight and dismantled.
However, although the company was dismantled, the shareholders were still those people, they just divided different businesses into different companies, and the money was still earned, even in later generations, the telephone company's annual turnover exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and in 2016, it also launched the acquisition of Time Warner's merger and acquisition, with an opening price of 85.4 billion US dollars, which can be described as wealthy!
It can be seen from the Bell Telephone Company that the communication business is so profitable, and the Panda Group will definitely encounter the same problems as the Bell Telephone Company in the end, and finally can only choose to establish a local communications subsidiary, implement the shareholding system, and then let those consortiums enter a piece of the pie. Of course, Chen Xu can't let these grandsons buy the shares of Panda Communications Corporation, at most, they will only establish subsidiaries abroad, so that these guys can eat some leftovers and plug their mouths.
Of course, in exchange for benefits, these people also have to pay some costs, such as taking out shares in certain industries to replace, so that the Panda Group can infiltrate other industries in these countries, after all, there is no free lunch in the world.
Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the technical advantages, directly on the 2G network, which can not only save the funds to upgrade the network, but also maintain the commanding heights in technology, when foreign countries are still studying the 1G analog network, the flower grower has begun to commercialize the 2G mobile communication network, this technical generation gap can crush the global communication providers, so as to achieve the purpose of monopolizing the global communication network.
Take advantage of the monopoly to make a lot of money, and wait until these countries react and launch an anti-monopoly investigation, and then talk about it! (To be continued.) )
