The Chinese market is very complex, and of course, the markets of other countries are also very complex.

But only in Huaxia will appear when other countries are about to popularize WiFi, and some communication operators are forced to let the mobile phones produced in Huaxia, as well as the mobile phones sold in Huaxia, be castrated for their own interests.

AND THEN MANDATORY TO USE THE WAPI SECURITY PROTOCOL, WAPI IS ESSENTIALLY NO DIFFERENT FROM WIFI, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT IN TERMS OF AUTHENTICATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY, WAPI IS HIGHER THAN WIFI.

But history has proven this decision wrong, whether it is the ultimate terminal or digital products such as laptops, which eventually implement the WIFI standard, so for many people, they have never heard of WAPI at all.

But now it is 2009, and many mobile phones in the Huaxia market claim to be smart phones but do not have WIFI function.

"You mean, they require our iPhones to change their security protocols and be successfully certified according to Huaxia's wireless LAN security standards before they can be sold?"

Wen Ming finally got the reason why the iphone did not pass the certification in Huaxia, which made him think of the emasculation of the noisy WIFI function in some years when he was living in another world.

But Wen Ming didn't pay special attention to these news at that time, because he was still in high school at the time, and it was already a great blessing to have a mobile phone, so it didn't matter if the mobile phone had a wifi function?

What's more, he went to a boarding high school back then, and even if his mobile phone had wifi function, he didn't have the ability to connect to wifi.

Sith replied: "I think it's just an excuse, because it's not just that we don't make phones in accordance with WAPI security standards, but other companies' products can be certified and even sold in the market, why can't ours?" ”

With that, the Sith pulled out a folder with a very eye-catching title for the files inside.

"Standard Announcement on Wireless LAN Products", this announcement comes from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China and the Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China.

"This is an announcement issued in 2003 that requires all wireless LAN products in China to adopt the WAPI standard. Later, due to the resistance of many parties, it was changed to a mandatory provision that would postpone the implementation of the WAP standard on June 1, 2004. ”

"Because this standard is completely different from the standard used all over the world, Intel, Broadcom and other companies that produce chips were very resistant to this, of course, there are some reasons for resistance, I think I don't need to say, you can also understand."

"Last year, that is, in 2008, in the WLAN access test specifications of Huaxia Telecom and Mobile, WAPI was set as a test item that must be met in Class A. That is to say, if this requirement cannot be met, even if our iPhone is sold, users cannot use the iPhone to use the SIM card of these two communication companies. According to reliable sources, Huaxia's Unicom will also set WAPI as a test item that must be met this year. ”

After listening to the Sith report, Wen Ming instantly felt a big head, in fact, with the first generation of iphone he launched, it is completely possible to meet the double standards of WAPI and WIFI at the same time without increasing the cost.

However, because of the short development time, he did not take these problems into account at all, nor did he understand these standards of the Chinese market. His concept has always stayed in the time before he crossed, at that time, the mobile phone products on the market, whether there is a WAPI function, he is not clear, but when users use mobile phones, they are using the WIFI function.

What the hell is WAPI?

How many people know?

In fact, the reason why Wen Ming ignored this was that he got Apple's technical knowledge, not Apple's developers or Jobs' real memory. Regardless of whether Wen Ming's brain will be blown up after getting the memories of so many people at the same time, and whether there will be schizophrenia, if he gets the relevant memories, then he will definitely know the relevant information of WAPI.

Because in another world, although the original intention of WAPI was to castrate the WIFI function and let the operator make more money, but after it was really developed, the country found that this standard was really good, because it was able to break the blockade of the WIFI Business Alliance.

At the national level, this kind of thing is very significant.

But in the first few years of WAPI's launch, it has been resisted by the WIFI Business Alliance, and even by many countries led by the United States.

Later, although there were nearly zero wireless LAN devices on the market that used the WAPI standard alone, almost all wireless devices would have double standards at the same time. Even the unbeatable Steve Jobs' Apple has implemented this standard.

(PS: Not too many descriptions, interested friends can search for it.) If you are using an iPhone, take a look at your Wi-Fi settings, is there a WAPI option? ）

Wen Ming rubbed his temples and asked, "If we follow the requirements and let the iPhone be able to implement two sets of standards at the same time, then, can we pass the certification and start selling?" ”

The Sith didn't know much about the technical side of things, and asked, "Wouldn't it be troublesome to add this standard?" And, we have ordered ten million iPhones, what should these iPhones do? ”

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "We don't need to change the hardware, we only need to roll out a patch to make the existing iphone support the WAPI standard." In terms of cost, there won't be much of an increase. ”

It will not increase the cost, but Sith was not very happy, but asked with a serious expression: "But even so, we can't guarantee that we will pass the certification in the first time." Because our mobile phones are not the only ones in the Chinese market that do not meet this standard, that is to say, this standard has actually become dispensable because of the resistance of various countries and enterprises. ”

The Sith could not have imagined that in the next few years, the development of Huaxia could be said to be a change every year, and soon, this standard became a necessary standard.

Wen Ming can understand what the Sith means, and some people forcibly extend the authentication time of the iPhone for their own benefit. So, even if the criteria are met, what can be done?

There are reasons why you want to extend the certification time.

"In other words, we were cheated, but we can't be sure who cheated us?"

Li Jiacheng has this reason, because Wen Ming did not sell the stock to him, so he chose to make a stumbling block for Wen Ming's Apple company. The sales of the iPhone will inevitably affect the sales of other mobile phone brands.

In other words, in addition to Li Jiacheng, other mobile phone manufacturers also have reasons to stumble Apple, such as Nokia, which is now in full swing and is preparing to launch a new flagship model.

Nokia is not a Chinese company, but Nokia is now a giant in the mobile phone industry, and those agents who left suddenly are likely to give up the agent iPhone temporarily because of Nokia's pressure.

Compared with the current Apple company, the agent definitely attaches more importance to Nokia.

Sith frowned and said, "That's true, because the pre-order of 300,000 units in two days is really eye-catching." I've talked to Peter about finding out who is stumbling us through relationships, but there's really little hope of finding it. ”

Wen Ming was silent for a while, and then said, "I will notify the people in the R&D department to make the patch, it won't take too long, and you will arrange someone to follow up the progress of the certification." ”

After the Sith nodded, he said with some worry: "Actually, the person I'm most worried about is Teresa Roy. ”

Wen Ming frowned and said, "Can he do this?" As far as I know, he has no investment in China and no business dealings. ”

The Sith said, "But you have a pact with him. ”
