Chapter 110 Preparing for a rainy day, the big layout of mobile communications
The next day, Zhao Ye and others moved into the Mahler villa.
Villa Mahler is like a fairy tale "princess castle", covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters, with a garden area of nearly 2,000 square meters. Norwegian minaret, Gothic roof, Chinese glazed tiles, dark brown Tarzan tiles. A pair of stone lions are placed at the entrance like a traditional Chinese mansion, and the garden is planted with precious flowers and trees such as dragon cypress and cedar. The interior is decorated much like a luxury cruise ship, with windows in the shape of the ship's side and seaweed-patterned floors.
In the previous life, if you wanted to buy such a big villa, the price would exceed 1 billion yuan, I am afraid it would be far more.
Zhao Ye sat in the shade of the tree drinking wine, blowing the summer breeze, and sighed infinitely.
There are many old bungalows like Mahler's Villa in Shanghai, which appreciate in value every year.
If you buy these old bungalows now, even if you sell them in the future, it will definitely make a lot of money......
……
Wujiang Group, Communication Division.
"Boss, a great breakthrough has been made in the research of Hanxian BB machine, and the decoder, an important part of the BB machine, has been able to decode the signal sent by the base station into Chinese characters, and then display it through the display!"
"Plus, you can display the English alphabet."
Lu Jia, head of the communication division, introduced.
Zhao Ye also rushed here because of this news at this time.
He looked at the experimental table, and the words "Wujiang Group" appeared on the LCD screen of the BB machine, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of joy.
The communications division has progressed more than he could have imagined.
"Very good, get it done as soon as possible, and then go into mass production!" Zhao Ye said.
At present, the digital BB machine market is fiercely competitive, and there are many BB machine brands such as Imagine, Motorola, Ericsson, Panasonic, Sony, Hitachi, and Sharp on the market.
As the earliest digital BB machine brand, Imagine-BB machine currently occupies the largest market share, but only 34.1% is eaten up by other brands.
Hanxian BB machine, once released, will definitely be able to seize back the market.
It is said to be a Hanxian BB machine, but it can actually display English letters and numbers. There is no problem at all in selling Hanxian BB machines to English-speaking countries.
Of course, languages in other countries, such as Japanese, only need to develop the corresponding decoder software, but technically, it's pretty much the same, it's just a little different.
However, at the moment, the paging stations are basically artificial paging stations.
With the increase in BB machine users, manual paging will be too busy.
Automatic paging requires the development of program-controlled switches.
Moreover, the development direction after the Hanxian BB machine is a two-way Hanxian BB machine.
As for the meaning of two-way Hanxian BB machine? Quite simply, you can send a text message to another BB through this BB machine.
In the previous life, Motorola had developed this two-way Hanxian BB machine, which exploded in China. However, the product was released a little late.
At that time, the BB machine was already a thing of the past, and it was slowly replaced by mobile phones.
If the two-way Hanxian BB machine can be developed as soon as possible, then this product will definitely be popular all over the world and make a lot of money.
Chinese like to send text messages, and foreigners like to send emails.
It is difficult for the two-way Hanxian BB machine to be unpopular.
However, before the development of two-way Hanxian BB machine, it is necessary to develop the program-controlled switch to realize the automatic paging function of the pager.
Later, Zhao Ye called the directors of the communication division to the office for a meeting.
Zhao Ye first praised the work of the communication division, and then mentioned the two-way Hanxian BB machine and program-controlled switch.
"To develop a two-way Hanxian BB machine, we must first develop a program-controlled switch! Moreover, the program-controlled switch is not only used for automatic paging of BB machines, but also for making calls, automatically dialing to telephones. ”
Although there are few mobile phone users in China, there are more fixed lines, and public institutions, governments, scientific research institutions, schools, private enterprises, etc., use a lot of fixed phones, so the number of program-controlled switches that need to be used is relatively large.
Huawei started as a program-controlled switch. In 1990, Huawei began to develop program-controlled small switches, with more than a dozen employees, and in 1992, the company's sales were more than 100 million yuan, and in 1994, the company's sales were 800 million yuan.
It can be seen that the domestic communication market is still very huge.
It is only 1986 now, and Wujiang Company made program-controlled switches at this time, much earlier than Huawei, and technically, it is not comparable to Huawei at this time.
In the conference room, Zhao Ye ordered the communication division to set up a program-controlled switch development team, with a tentative number of 25 people.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ye thought to himself, since Wujiang Group wants to share a piece of the soup in the communication market, it simply has a one-time layout.
After a pause, he said: "Mobile phone is the trend of future communication, BB machine will be eliminated sooner or later, we must prepare early, take precautions, the communication division will allocate a part of the mobile phone development team, the more the better!" ”
"In addition, we have to look at the communication network standard, which is the wireless technology standard, and the GSM is now being studied in Europe. This communication technology is good, but I am more optimistic about another communication technology! ”
Zhao Ye said, walking on the big stage, there was a black block in this small conference room, Zhao Ye took out a pen and wrote the words "code division multiple access" on the blackboard, that is, CDMA.
In the previous life, Qualcomm was almost in a monopoly position in the CDMA field, so in the smartphone market, there was the famous "Qualcomm tax", which was quite domineering, and every mobile phone brand in the world had to pay the "Qualcomm tax", even Apple was no exception.
Qualcomm uses a large number of its own patents in communications, and while selling its own chip packages, it requires major manufacturers to pay 5% of the price of the whole machine.
The profit of many mobile phone manufacturers is not 5%, and this Qualcomm company makes more money than other mobile phone companies, who can stand this? Chun Chun is working for Qualcomm.
Founded in 1985, Qualcomm has not yet set foot in CDMA technology, but is working on other products, until 1989, it challenged the traditional wireless technology standard, and then launched the code division multiple access (CDMA) technology - its emergence permanently changed the face of global wireless communications, and in 1993 became the industry standard, and in 1999, the International Telecommunication Union selected CDMA as the technology behind 3G.
If it weren't for the slow emergence of CDMA technology, Europe's GSM would not be a rival at all.
Anyway, in this life, Zhao Ye wants to take CDMA into his pocket, and also learn from "Qualcomm" and engage in "borderless tax".
As long as Wujiang develops CDMA technology as soon as possible, China's communications department will definitely choose Wujiang CDMA as the second, third, and fourth generation mobile communication standards.
If you can go abroad, it will naturally be a joy on top of joy.
At this time, Zhao Ye was explaining to his employees what CDMA code division multiple access technology is.
This technology is currently only familiar to Zhao Ye, and if they don't explain it to them clearly, they don't know how to develop it at all.
However, it is quite difficult to develop CDMA, and in a short period of time, there should not be much progress, unless Zhao Ye takes them to study CDMA all day long.
But Zhao Ye had other things to do, and he didn't have so much time. In addition, CDMA technology is too advanced to be suitable for China.
It is said that one step ahead is a martyr, and half a step ahead is a pioneer.
It would be nice if the Borderless Group was half a step ahead.
CDMA technology was developed for the future.
At present, in fact, there is a mobile communication technology that is more suitable for China's national conditions, that is, PHS.
PHS technology is not only very popular in China, but also in many countries.
Because PHS uses a small cell technology, the cost is low, and it is more suitable for cities with close populations.
A GSM mobile phone, the normal price is one or two hundred thousand; A PHS mobile phone costs a few thousand.
In addition, PHS has low power consumption, very little electromagnetic radiation, and less harm to human radiation, which is loved by some special groups, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and medical personnel. And the standby is long, saving power. With one charge, the standby time can reach 10 days, saving the trouble of frequent charging. PHS call quality is comparable to fixed-line calls in network coverage; Unlike mobile phone wireless Internet sharing, PHS Internet access can enjoy exclusive 64/128Kbps bandwidth.
In addition, PHS does not require a mobile license. In the previous life, China Telecom and China Netcom chose PHS because they did not have mobile licenses, and seized a large number of users before 3G.
Of course, the shortcomings of PHS are also very obvious, otherwise it would not have been replaced later.
There are two main disadvantages, the first is that it can't be diffused, PHS can't roam across the country like a mobile phone, so it can only do "the supplement and extension of fixed lines", and there is always a gap between it and mobile phones in terms of function.
Second, poor coverage. Generally limited to urban areas, the signal is poor; There are few base stations, and the call in some parts of the city is not smooth, and it is impossible to talk in the event of a power outage.
However, as far as the current situation in China is concerned, it is already good to have Xiaoling General, what else do you need for a "bicycle"?
Before you know it, it's almost time to get off work.
Zhao Ye talked about a lot of code division multiple access CDMA technology today, and as for PHS technology, I plan to talk about it in a few days.
So many technologies have been launched at once, and it is a two-way Hanxian BB machine, a program-controlled switch, a mobile phone, and cdma and PHS. The Borderless Communications Division is obviously understaffed.
The Borderless Group had no choice but to continue to advertise in newspapers and on television to recruit people, and at the same time let foreign headhunters poach some talent to work in China.
It's just that during this period, there are not many talents who are willing to come to China to work.
Many international students in the United States do not want to come back once they arrive in the United States.
Zhao Ye was deeply ashamed.
Facing an increasingly urgent talent gap.
Zhao Ye felt the need to take action......
