Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

v1 Chapter 494: 0 million don't fall behind by another e

Xu Haifeng became the first batch of employees of Changtian Technology's chip laboratory after going through layers of written tests and interviews.

At present, the chip team of Changtian Technology has a total of 20 people, 3 of whom have overseas educational backgrounds, and the rest either graduated from relevant majors in prestigious universities like Xu Haifeng, or have worked in overseas chip companies for a long time.

Some of these people are not used to the living environment overseas, so they returned to Xiaguo to work.

After looking around, I saw that there are not many chip design and development companies in Xiaguo (Xiaxin International counts as one).

Only Changtian Technology is still reliable, and the salary is not bad, so I joined Changtian Technology.

Indeed, in terms of the quality of talents, the quality of the current batch of 20 people is not particularly high.

After all, top-notch chip talents in Xiaguo must work in chip companies in the United States, second-rate talents will work in companies such as Japan and South Korea, and third-rate talents will work in chip companies in the Wanwan area of ​​Xiaguo.

And fourth-rate talents will enter Xiaxin International.

After all, Xiaxin International is preparing to go public in Xiangjiang City.

Only low-level talents will come to Changtian Technology.

Of course, Xu Haifeng felt that he was the exception.

Because Xu Haifeng has worked in Lianxiang for more than ten years, and has personally witnessed the overt or covert competition between Changtian Technology and Lianxiang in the past few years.

Xu Haifeng firmly believes that Changtian Technology will be able to create miracles in new products, so he still joins.

The chip needs to be developed, but the program needs to be kept secret. In addition, there have been incidents with Carbon Crystal Storage before, so Chen Xiao has formulated strict work confidentiality measures for this, and regularly conducts qualification reviews for none of the core personnel.

After the establishment of the laboratory, the team soon had the latest task.

What Xu Haifeng got was a mobile phone communication chip, not the computer chip he imagined.

Xu Haifeng held the chip in his hand and looked at it in detail. It was a Freescale MXC series chip.

The chip is used in the Nokia S60, which was just released overseas at the beginning of this year.

Freescale MXC can be equipped with smartphones with Symbian 6.1 Symbian system released by Nokia, and once the system and the mobile phone were released, they immediately became hot models and were sold well in Europe and the United States.

Similarly, this chip is also a 3G chip.

Xu Haifeng looked at this chip and knew that Changtian Technology hoped not to widen the gap with the West in terms of mobile chip technology.

The chip department rushed into work.

As for Chen Xiao, holding a thick document in his hand, he was thinking about a problem before negotiating with Xia Guo Mobile.

Is it to negotiate first, or to announce the technology first?

One is when Xia Guo was still in the very dark 2G era, and 3G has gradually begun to spread in the United States and Europe.

"Eternal God Emperor"

Chen Xiao hopes that Changtian Technology can achieve a leading position in the mobile business and establish its own standards, so it is necessary to make three simultaneous efforts in chips, communications, and mobile systems.

The reason why Chen Xiao is so anxious is because globally speaking, this industry is still an undeveloped virgin land, and it still belongs to the blue ocean market.

If Changtian Technology can establish a competitive advantage in the next two or three years, then Changtian Technology will be able to face it calmly and calmly when Android and iOS were born in 2007.

Otherwise, Xia Guo's mobile communication Internet will repeat the old computer path again - the chip is in the hands of others, the system is in the hands of others, and the ecological chain is in the hands of others.

In fact, in the field of communication, especially in the field of 3G communication, Xia Guo has already fallen behind by a position.

Among them, the most widely used, most convenient and best signal wcdma patents are in the hands of overseas technology companies such as Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm, and Siemens.

Among them, Nokia and Ericsson have occupied more than 20% of the patented technology.

Xia Guo is nothing.

Before Chen Xiao's rebirth, Huawei also figured out the algorithm from 2G to 3G around 2003 because of the difficult public relations of Russian employees, which gave Xiaguo's communication business a chance to breathe.

From 2003 to 2006, Huawei made difficult research on 3G technology, and then obtained the basic right to use the technology, owning about 5% of the basic patents, which means that through cross-licensing, it can ensure the promotion of Xiaguo in China When it comes to 3G technology, it will not be subject to too many constraints due to patents.

But 5% of the patented technology can only be used by Xia Guo in the 3G field, and he is still at a disadvantage in the competition.

Only then did Xia Guo hurriedly introduce related technologies that had been abandoned in Germany, and let Xia Guo Mobile come up with a TD-CDMA, 3G technology.

As for how different this technology is compared to WCDMA, or whether it is superior or inferior, future generations will have their own judgments, but according to Chen Xiao's opinion, TD-CDMA is more like the Loongson chip independently developed by Xia Guohou in the global chip market. status - just to save their lives.

Why did Xiaguo not commercialize 3G technology on a large scale nationwide until around 2008?

One is because the cost of switching from 2G base stations to 3G base stations is very high, which touches the interests of many people.

Another problem is that the patented technology is not in place. Even if some of Warwick's technology is used to obtain the right to use 3D technology, and Ericsson, Nokia and other companies are invited to build 3G base stations, the cost is quite high.

Seeing that Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and other 3G mobile phones are selling well in overseas markets, and staring blankly at herself, Chen Xiao decided not to wait.

The relevant technical descriptions were sent to Xia Guo Mobile Company.

In the technical description, Changtian Technology described the current development trend of global communication services in detail, and made it clear that Xiaguo is a good time for the popularization of mobile phones.

Instead of spending a lot of money to buy European 2G technology and ask Ericsson, Siemens and other companies to authorize the construction of base stations, it is better to directly build 3G base stations.

This will save a lot of expenses, and it will allow Xia Guo's mobile phone users to directly skip feature phones and enter the era of smart phones, in line with international standards.

Chen Xiao calculated that if it succeeds, it will at least compress the development history of Xia Guo Mobile's business for about 5 years.

Why didn't Chen Xiao launch 4G or 5G technology directly?

Or because the current backwardness in chip technology ~lightnovelpub.net~ is not enough to bear the relevant technical standards.

If 4G or 5G technology is launched at this time, and the United States and Europe take the lead in chips, if it is not done well, Changtian Technology will be backlashed.

So 3G is a good entry point.

Chen Xiao is very confident about Changtian Technology's letter. The reason why he chose Xiaguo Mobile is also because Xiaguo Mobile has a relatively wide user base and a wide range of offline expansion. It is a very powerful partner for cooperation. .

However, Chen Xiao was a little surprised.

Nearly half a month after Changtian Technology sent the letter, Xia Guo Mobile did not even reply.

This made Chen Xiao quite puzzled.

Is it because Xia Guo Mobile has not received the relevant letter, or is it not interested in this matter?
