Chapter 262: Technical Defense
Early in the morning of the 31st, Ling Shizhe got up early and came to the headquarters of the "Water Cube".
"Hello! … Yes, this is Ambrera ... Yes, PHS is developed by our company... Sorry, it's not officially on sale yet, but it won't be until March 20 next year... PHS phones cost $169 each, and if you're a couple, they're more expensive, $179 each...... The two add up to $350. ”
As soon as I entered the door, I heard the company's phone ringing non-stop. Several employees from the software and hardware departments are busy answering the constant incoming calls.
The ringtones are undoubtedly the most beautiful notes for Ling Shizhe now. He picked up a newspaper next to him.
The front page of the New York Daily News was a headline about the success of the PHS trial, and the bottom half of the front page featured a half-page advertising photo of Ambrera's PHS mobile phone.
The price of the front page of the New York Daily News was not cheap, and Ling Shizhe bought it for two weeks in one go, and the newspaper also tacitly reciprocated with a headline in return. News and advertising complement each other, which is the best effect that Ling Shizhe wants, and it can be said that the publicity has been achieved to the extreme.
"Chairman, this is the result I just counted, the company received countless calls this morning, all asking when PHS mobile phones will be listed."
Ling Shizhe leisurely reclined in the boss's chair behind the desk, and his assistant Mark . Saini, handing him the latest statistical table.
"Well, let's put it here for now! Today, everyone works overtime hard, and everyone in the company is sealed with a big red envelope! Ling Shizhe said in a good mood.
This moment of enjoying the fruits of victory is always a pleasant feeling. So he was not stingy, and the bold Chrysostom opened. Treat the whole staff.
Mark. After Saini went out, Ling Shizhe soon heard a cheer outside!
The PHS validation test conducted yesterday was a great success. Ambrera's PHS system uses THTRA as its radio communication interface and 64K ADPCM as its voice transmission codec, and its prototype PHS phone can also support other telecom value-added services - SMS services that have already been completed, and will be designed for future dial-up Internet access via modem, as well as email service and Panda QQ live chat system.
Ambrera's PHS system blue book can be said to be completely based on the digital trunking mobile communication system commonly used in developed countries in Europe and the United States in later generations, fully considering the reality of the vast rural areas and sparsely populated countries in developed countries in Europe and the United States, with wide signal coverage area, long transmission distance and high communication quality. The advantages of using cost and location, especially the use of several base stations to form a cluster base station network, five base stations as long as a chain of Internet access, its signal coverage is instantly expanded to 180 kilometers away, which is irresistible for any telecom operator.
If that telecom operator were to be impulsive and cover the whole of North America under PHS, it would not be impossible.
in the report. Those media gave full play to their subjective initiative and took the initiative to say good things about PHS.
With the media taking the initiative to stand up and tout, PHS has become the hottest term in the world overnight. Even Time Magazine wanted to do an interview for Ling Shizhe, and they all thought of the title - the father of wireless communication!
But Ling Shizhe didn't have time to answer them for the time being, and he was now about to accept telecom operators from all over the world. Defend technical questions related to PHS technology.
This technology is the second test that Ling Shizhe faces, after the successful PHS test. The world's telecom giants are inexplicably excited, in the European and American markets, where fixed telephones have long been saturated. PHS is like a shot in the arm, so that their fixed-line communication market suddenly becomes unlimited, before the European GSM comes out, first take the big cake of wireless communication, and wait until the GSM comes out, see who else can compete with them, and then sit back and enjoy the huge profits of fixed-line and wireless communications, is there anything more cool than this?
What's even more pleasing is that Ambrera will develop PHS technology as before, of course, this development is conditional, either you exchange the technology, or you have to purchase Ambrella's chips, or you will pay the patent fee, choose one of the three, which one do you choose?
In fact, the first kind of exchange for technology is the most impossible thing, because the European GSM concept has just been put forward for a few years, and even the theoretical argument has not been completed, where is there any technology to exchange with Ambrera, as for other technologies, either Ambrera does not need it, or people look down on it, even if it really has, they don't want to change, so the second and third are the best choices.
In fact, Alison and Ling Shizhe have long discussed, the wireless communication market is too big, not Ambrera can eat it all, and it involves a country's information security, if the PHS technology is held in the hands, in exchange for the opposition of all the telecom providers, it is better to let go, share with everyone, and put PHS as the most international standard.
As long as it is recognized by the International Telecommunication Union Commission, Ambrera is half the battle, kicking the door to the international telecommunications market, and as long as it does not make mistakes, Ambrera will be the leader in international wireless communications for at least the next two or three decades.
Of course, this openness is not open for nothing, the technology can be published, as long as you buy our chips, Ambrera will not charge you royalties; You also own the new technology you developed on the PHS base patent, but the new technology has to be shared with Ambrera, if not? I'm sorry, we don't empower you, we look for people who are willing to share.
In addition, the telecommunications markets in Canada, Hong Kong and Taiwan must be ceded to Ambrera, and the rest of the people will eat according to their real skills, everyone will compete fairly, and no one will want to make a fool of themselves.
These requirements are neither high nor low for the telecom giants of various countries. Ambrera has paid such a big price and deserves to be rewarded. Otherwise, why should people make it public for free? What's more, compared to the huge benefits of the wireless communication market, this price is nothing at all?
Ling Shizhe came to the press conference hall on the first floor. It was already full of people, not only representatives sent by telecommunications giants from various countries, high-ranking government officials of various countries, and even Bentzshan, the chairman of the International Telecommunication Union Association, also came, and the hall was full, and even many people stood in the aisles, and most of the people standing in the aisles were journalists.
Ling Shizhe walked towards the rostrum, and people automatically got out of the way.
Along the way, Ling Shizhe found that there were actually several Asian faces sitting in the front row seats. Ling Shizhe knew at a glance that it was a representative from Japan and South Korea, as well as from China. Well, on the table in front of them are the flags representing their nationalities?
Walking on the stage, Alison introduced Ling Shizhe: "Boss, this is Mr. Bentzshan, President of the International Telecommunication Union. ”
"Hello. Mr. Benzshan. ”
"Hello, Ling."
The two hands are clasped together.
Ling Shizhe knew that he could not invite the chairman of his own national telecommunication union alone, and this was the exhaustion of the Canadian government behind the scenes. It was also arranged behind the scenes by the Canadian government.
If you don't want to pay attention to it, Canada's economic environment continues to deteriorate, more and more unemployed workers are increasing, and there are only high-tech electronic enterprises led by Ambrera in the whole of Canada. Unaffected by the economic crisis, if PHS is their admission, how many jobs will be created in Canada? I can figure it out with my toes.
And other countries are also coming with this in mind. The related industries and jobs created by the wireless communication market are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Whether there are people in the heart or not, just for the votes. They have to come, too.
As for why China is also here to join in the fun, the devil knows, it seems that they have not yet reformed and opened up, right? Ling Shizhe said in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen: Good morning, I'm Ling Shizhe. I didn't expect PHS technology to get such a lot of attention from the country. But regardless of the ITU's attitude towards PHS, I believe that PHS will not be the only standard, and that the future should be an era when multiple communication standards coexist, and we in Canada are just one step ahead. Ling Shizhe patted Canada's ass a little and pulled the Canadian government into the water, which is the result of many discussions by Ambrera's think tank.
Of course, Ling Shizhe did not dare to guarantee 100% that PHS would definitely be recognized by the International Telecommunication Union, and he could only do his best and obey the destiny of heaven, so he had today's defense.
After a brief opening remarks, some people began to ask questions, and the first one to ask was Gary, a representative of Alcatel from France, who stood up and said: "Mr. Ling, in your PHS blue book, I have an idea of a problem, the signal coverage of PHS is achieved through the grid connection of macro base stations and pseudo base stations. But in the city, there will be information blind spots, how does your company solve this problem? ”
For this test, Ambrera did not specifically build a macro base station, but just took a sub-base station and a long antenna, and used it as a macro base station, the purpose of which is to intuitively show everyone how wide the signal coverage of THTEA is and how far the communication distance is. The so-called macro base station, in popular terms, is the common signal tower. That is, the so-called main base station, a macro base station can reach a signal coverage area of about 30 to 60 kilometers, which depends on many factors such as equipment and terrain. With macro base stations, generally an ordinary prefecture-level city, only two or three macro base stations in urban areas can meet the needs.
However, there are many high-rise buildings in the city, and even subways, underground parking lots, etc., these factors will block the signal of the macro base station, making it impossible to cover, thus forming an information blind spot. At this time, micro base stations are needed to check and fill in the gaps, and the number of micro base stations will be much more than that of macro base stations, and the trouble and cost of land use in the city will also rise.
There are a lot of high-rise buildings in New York, especially Manhattan Street, which is a gathering of high-rise buildings, and there must be a lot of information blind spots, which requires more micro base stations.
Historically, the early wireless communication technology was immature, and there were many problems in the process of use, such as base station switching, insufficient signal coverage technology, etc., which were headaches for telecom companies.
"I know what Mr. Gary is worried about, the number of base stations is small, and the overlap area is not large enough, which can easily cause problems such as network disconnection and serial number. The only solution is to increase the density of the base stations so that the overlapping signal area between the two base stations is large enough. In order to solve this contradiction, our company has invented two new technologies to significantly reduce the number of micro base stations while ensuring signal coverage. ”
"What technology?" Gary looked at Ling Shizhe curiously and asked with interest.
"These two technologies are repeater and distributed base station technology." "Repeater? Distributed base stations? "Gary is inexplicable, he is the chief engineer of Alcatel, one of the developers of the European GSM standard program, for GSM he is always and anytime he knows the most cutting-edge technology in the industry, how come he has never heard of these two technologies?
"Yes," Ling Shizhe nodded, "This is a unique solution made by Ambrera after considering cost, maintenance and performance in order to solve the communication problem to New York, Los Angeles and other large cities with many high-rise buildings. ”
He's talking, Mark. Saini pulled out a drawing more than a man tall from his briefcase.
Two Ambrera employees unfolded the drawing, one on the left and one on the right, to show the contents of the drawing. There are no complex design graphics or advanced technical information on the drawings, but a simple set of schematic diagrams.
Macro base stations, micro base stations, cities, countryside, indoor and underground, this schematic diagram is very simple and easy to understand, but it is only a preliminary depiction of the general composition of a PHS network.
A photojournalist captured the picture on camera and broadcast it live via satellite, showing the paper to a worldwide audience sitting in front of a television set.
The audience sitting in the back row of the press conference hall was also seen through the televisions installed around the hall.
But it was such a simple diagram that appeared in the textbook that nearly half of the people in the venue stood up in shock!
What is drawn on this drawing? Unexpectedly, such a person at the scene stood up regardless of the image?
The person sitting next to him looked at those who stood up with a confused expression, hoping that they would give an answer. (To be continued......)
