Chapter 041: Motorola

Fu Mu thought about the sect, and on the other hand, Song Mingyu's father and daughter also talked to the sect, but it seemed that the two did not reach an understanding.

Xiao Zhen was thinking about whether it was time to step forward, when he saw Song Mingyu walking over with a frown, and saw Xiao Ke hesitating to step forward, and squeezed out a smile: "I'll go to the car first." Xin'er has something to tell you. ”

Xiao Zhen didn't know what the two of them were doing, but Song Mingyu's face was not good, and Xiao Zhen was inconvenient to ask more, so he just nodded, Song Mingyu glanced at the woman he brought, and walked over to the Land Rover, the woman smiled at Xiao Zhen and Xin'er, and went with this Song Mingyu.

Xiao Dingzheng thought in his heart that this woman was the representative of the "second wife wants to turn positive" that often appeared on TV, so he heard the girl named Xin'er behind him call him: "Hey, I'm going to go back with my dad now, do you have a mobile phone?" ”

Xiao Ding turned his head and said lightly: "Yes, what to do?" ”

"Bring it." Xin'er stretched out her hand, rolled her eyes to the sky, and gave Xiao Zhen a health ball: "Don't worry, I won't rob you." ”

Xiao Ding absolutely believed this, took out his mobile phone and handed it to Xin'er.

Xin'er picked up the phone, and suddenly said "Huh", but she didn't say much, just pressed a number on it and dialed it out, and heard the melody of "I only care about you" sounded in her small bag, and then she hung up the phone quickly and handed the phone to Xiao Zhen: "Oh, return it to you." Then he whispered: "Poor showmanship, driving a broken car still uses such a good mobile phone."

She is also a person who knows the goods, and the mobile phone in Xiao Zhen's hand is no longer the one it was back then, but a special model of Motorola, also known as a customized model.

Although the Xinlan consortium has controlled Nokia, its shares in Motorola are not small, and after years of infiltration, the shares in their hands are also one of the major shareholders of Motorola, and Motorola's technical capabilities at this time are still relatively strong, and the Americans pay attention to freedom. At this time, mobile phones are no longer considered luxuries in the United States, but they are still a bit extravagant, such as this one in Xiao Zhen's hand, although it is not for sale, but the price is there: milk 10,000 dollars. As a few years ago, Xiao Ding still uses Motorola, although the model has been changed several times.

When it comes to mobile phones, we all know that the electric light is Edison's, the telegraph is Morsmin's, and the phone is Belming's, but how many people know who made the mobile phone? Not much, I'm afraid, but it doesn't matter, because most people don't know about it. In fact, Marty Cooper, the bright man of mobile phones, is concave and shy, and must be among the top ten fathers of obscure technology.

Cooper filed a patent for a "radio intercom system" when he was working for Motorola, a manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. He is the world's first mobile phone caller, and his first mobile phone call was to a competitor working at Bell Labs. At that time, the other party was also developing a mobile phone, but it was not successful. Cooper later recalled: "I called him and said, 'Joe, I'm talking to you right now in a portable cellular,'" and I heard the "gnash of teeth" on the other end of the receiver, even though he had maintained considerable politeness. ”

As a time-traveler, Xiao Zhen knows the extent to which mobile phones will affect the way people interact in the future, making distance no longer an issue. Why is such an important Ming person not so well known?

The reason may be that with the advancement of technology, the great wisdom of individual heroism in the past will become less and less common. The research of a scientific and technological product is inseparable from a team.

The team of mobile phone Anming people is Motorola.

Motorola Inc., formerly known as Calvin's manufacturing company Canzhiya, was founded in the year of the blanket and was named after Paul Calvin, one of the founders. It was the first to produce radios in cars, and Motorola is the brand of such radios. The first five letters of the word Motorola denote a car,. It is a suffix that many American trade names like to use, such as Coca-Cola than before World War II, the United States has realized the importance of radio communication, began to develop portable wireless communication tools, and developed a walkie-talkie by itself... Must. But it's very bulky and doesn't work very well. Some of Motorola's engineers were involved in the study. It is a tunable high-frequency frequency modulation communication equipment, weighing 16 kilograms, with an effective communication distance of about 16 kilometers, and is widely used in communications by the US military. In the old Qin years, Motorola made persistent efforts to develop a "hand-held" walkie-talkie ratio. A nephew. The "Big Brother" of this class weighs four kilograms, has a communication range of one and a half kilometers in the open area, and only three hundred meters in the woods. Even so, at that time, the US military's communications equipment was much higher than that of other countries. From this series of military equipment, it can be seen that Motorola is very strong in radio communication, and its frequency modulation technology and antenna technology are ahead of the world. At the same time, as a supplier to the United States and government departments, Motorola's products are stable and robust. It's all good. This is in the DNA of Motorola products to some extent. To this day, this is still the case with many Motorola products. There are often reports of this kind of car accident in a wilderness, everyone took out their mobile phones to call for help, and in the end there was only Motorola... However, many things are a double-edged sword, and Motorola is far less commercially flexible than competitors such as Nokia and Samsung.

After World War II, Motorola became more and more famous as a brand, and people first thought of Motorola when they talked about wireless communication. Until 20 years ago, Motorola has been cutting off this market, from walkie-talkies, early mobile phones, that is, Big Brother, to the early nineties popular in China, the rich people in the city must be one person, almost 10,000 households are also a row of machines. Since people had forgotten the name of the company for a long time, Calvin Manufacturing Company, "the company simply changed its name to Motorola, which shows the name of Motorola back then."

From the end of World War II to the early nineties, it can be said that Motorola was in a prosperous era. Motorola has a technological advantage in analog wireless communication that no other company can match, and has created several world firsts. The U.S. communications community has a general classification method for communications, that is, it is divided into four types: one-way wired such as closed-circuit television, two-way wired such as telephone, wireless one-way such as radio, and wireless two-way such as mobile phone and booklet. For a long time, until more than ten years ago, it was the king of wired communication, and it was the leader of wireless one-way communication. And Motorola is the out-and-out overlord of wireless two-way communication. It can be seen from the history of Motorola. Motorola's core business is related to two-way wireless communication. Although, Shrimp claims that its cordless phone is older than Motorola's cell phone, everyone knows that cordless phone and cell phone call are two different things. Since it is rooted in wired communication, it will unconsciously resist wireless communication. When mobile phones first started, Starter expected to be powerful. There are only one million users in the world every year, this. It is estimated to be a hundred times smaller than the actual number in the later years. So, flying, naturally, will not focus on mobile communications. Motorola, on the contrary, could not do anything in wired communications, so it naturally bet on mobile communications, leading and promoting the trend of mobile communications.

By the early nineties, Motorola was the world's most technologically advanced in the fields of mobile communications, digital signal processing and computer processors. At the end of the eighties, Motorola walkie-talkie walkie-talkies could talk to colleagues on shore in the cargo hold of a large freighter surrounded by steel, which was not possible with any other similar product.

In the history of the evolution of mobile phones, we can see the footprints of Motorola's exhibition and decline.

Wu is actually the meaning of the third generation. We're using it now, like the web one. It belongs to the second generation. Of course, there are also different names, for example, the kind of network that can't go online, is the second generation, and the concave network, is Wandai, with woo, that is, 2 is the generation, these are, "the name of the cottage As for the "according to" that some universities and scientific research institutions have been hyping up in Huaxia University 6, it is just that the leader has taken some scientific research funds, and now there is no basis for the concept.

The first generation is old. The first generation of mobile phones used to refer to analog mobile phones, that is, the big brother that appeared in film and television works such as Hong Kong and the United States in the 20th century. The first to develop Big Brother was the American Motorola Company's Birch. At that time, the battery capacity was limited and the analog modulation technology required huge antennas and integrated circuits. This kind of mobile phone has a boxy appearance, and can only be mobile and not portable. Many people call this kind of mobile phone "brick" or black King Kong, etc.

As a leader in mobile communications, Motorola naturally cut off the first-generation mobile communications market. The first generation of mobile communication is based on analog signals, and the level of antenna technology and analog signal processing technology determines the quality of products. And the appearance of the product does not need to be considered at all. When it comes to technology, no company can challenge Motorola. Therefore, although Motorola's mobile phones were expensive to sell at that time in Huaxia, and a good mobile phone cost 20,000 yuan, it still occupied 70 percent of the world's market. Other companies that want to compete with Motorola can only hope for the next generation.

At the very beginning of the second generation of mobile communications, Europe was united. In the past, the EU countries could only be regarded as a loose alliance, and it was difficult to compete with the United States alone in terms of technology. Even if there is an industry standard that is different from the United States, it is difficult to dominate the world, such as the mouth standard of color TV. Over the past two decades, Europe has become more and more aware of its independence from the United States and has learned the lesson of defeat in its own way. Internal cooperation has been significantly strengthened. Finally surpassed the United States in the second generation of mobile communications.

Vomit for 2 years European Posts and Telecommunications Commission Can. Spit with a snake. "The standard of digital mobile communication has been transformed into a neighbor gun. , referred to as taming. Later, this standard became popular in the world, and Europe changed its name to scraping. Therefore, many people mistakenly think that the latter is an abbreviation. In the following year, the standard was submitted to the European Telecommunications Standards Agency, and the following year it became the second generation of mobile communication standards in Europe and later in the world. The core of the technology is time division multiple access technology, that is, each wireless frequency is evenly distributed to eight or sixteen mobile phone users, and each user interactively occupies one-eighth of the channel time. Note: When people are talking, the intermittent time of voice direct is actually very uncertain. "There is a voice code that makes sense. In the second year of becoming the European standard, Ericsson and a Finnish company set up the first tamed mobile communication network. Two years later, more than 40 countries, including Huaxia, adopted such standards as today, adding to the jump of mobile phone users in the world. It is said that Dali billion users.

While the Europeans acted, the Americans were not idle, they seemed to work harder than the Europeans. There is only one standard for the whole of Europe, and the United States, which has only one-third of the population of Europe, has actually developed three standards for digital communication, two of which are based on the same standards as things, and the third is a very advanced code division multiple access standard. Needless to say, the United States is doomed to fail in the second generation of mobile communication standards.

The failure of the United States in the battle for standards will indirectly affect the competitiveness of Motorola's mobile phones in the future. Of course, failing in standards does not mean that Motorola will fail in the mobile phone market, just as Samsung, which does not own any standards, has still grabbed a place in the world market in mobile phones. The reason why Motorola lost its dominance in the mobile phone market must also be found within itself. There is both an irresistible trick of fate and a human factor.

It's not that Motorola doesn't see that digital phones will replace analog phones in the future, but it's very reluctant to see it. As the biggest beneficiary of the first generation of mobile communications, Motorola wants to extend the life of analog phones as much as possible and delay the popularization of digital phones, because it does not want to dig its own grave. If you give up on analog phones too soon, you will be giving up the gold mine that has already been mined. And the self-depreciation price and Nokia's company started from scratch. Especially at the beginning, the voice quality of digital mobile phones is far less than that of Motorola's brick-sized big brother, which makes Motorola overestimate the life of analog mobile phones. Like all large companies, Motorola is also the most profitable department, and the department that drives digital mobile phones is certainly not easy to overshadow the analog mobile phone department that is making money, so although Motorola is not lagging behind in the research of digital mobile phones, but. Progress has been slow. Once various competitors launched a variety of small digital mobile phones, Motorola only found itself half slower of course, with Motorola's technology and market advantages to catch up with this half step should not be difficult, however, Motorola's other gene makes it difficult to adapt to the new market competition. In the analog communication equipment market, technology occupies a crucial position, and other aspects, such as convenience, and appearance are not important. Moreover, analog electronic technology largely depends on accumulation, and it is difficult for companies that enter the market later to catch up in a year or two. Readers who have played audio burning know that the digital equipment of audio, such as players, is not very different from each brand, and the analog part such as the speaker is very different from different manufacturers. It's like Japan's Rusi and Pioneer have not been able to make high-quality speakers like the United States and the Secret Turtle. Within Motorola, for a long time, perhaps until today, technological determinism has been dominant. In today's dominance of digital electronic technology, the technical differences between various manufacturers are actually very small, and this little difference is far from enough for users to choose or not choose a certain brand of products. On the contrary, non-technical factors such as function, operability, and appearance are more important than technology. In these respects, Motorola is far behind its rivals in Nokia and Asia. For example, some friends who are engaged in research often look down on the practices of companies such as Nokia and Samsung, thinking that "if they change the case or color, it will be a new mobile phone." "However, the average user still really buys the account of the latter, and the Japanese are used to playing this trick when selling cars.

To be fair, Motorola's mobile phone technology is leading. They do their best in every detail, even if you can't feel the details they do. For example, Motorola has a technology patent, which may not be well known, called Liyin technology, which has a large number of built-in ambient sounds, which can automatically distinguish the noise according to the user's environment when calling, and eliminate it in reverse, so as to effectively remove the background noise and greatly improve the quality of the call. Before Xiao Zhen crossed, Liyin technology has entered the second generation, the biggest upgrade of the second generation of Liyin is that it uses a hardware module, the built-in hardware module can store more noise data files, more accurate and fast attenuation noise, only transmit effective voice information and comfortable background noise to the receiver, and according to the user's environmental background noise, dynamically adjust the voice call effect of the mobile phone earpiece to ensure clear call quality. At the same time, this technology can not only effectively improve the call quality in noisy environments, but also reduce the volume appropriately in quiet environments to avoid the leakage of call content. For small improvements, Motorola will put a lot of effort into it, unlike the domestic pursuit of large volume, even if the speaker is broken, this can refer to the characteristics of the copycat.

However, in Asia, the mobile phone is more than just a phone, it is a platform for personal communication, a part of life, and some people even have diamonds on it as a status symbol. It's a bit like a European cane two hundred years ago, but it's not meant to support the body. In terms of meeting the needs of the latter, Nokia and Samsung-based Asia are doing better.

However, this is from the perspective of ordinary consumers, for people like Xiao Zhen, performance, that is, technology, is the key, after all, money may be just a concept in their eyes.

Because of this, Xiao Zhen now has the "poor showmanship." This evaluation. If you want to know what will happen next, please log on to 6... Jiashan, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
