Revisiting Future Path

Chapter 154: A doomed battle

The 155th body is in WAPI, the heart is in WIFI

In April 2004, Hua Guo compromised at the 15th China-US Joint Commission for Commerce and Trade, and extended its enforcement of WAPI standards indefinitely.

However, this is not the end of the WIPI standards war.

In July 2004, Hua Guo tried to push WAPI into the international standard. On the way, progress was not good. The Chinese delegation even protested unfair treatment and resolutely withdrew from the Frankfurt Conference in February 2005.

In May 2005, ISO/IEC, which was born from the strengthening of cooperation between the International Organization for Standardization ISO and the International Electrotechnical Organization IEC, proposed that the Chinese wireless LAN standard WAPI and the US wireless LAN standard IEEE8802 should be combined to coordinate the dispute between the WAPI delegation and IEEE. .11i merge.

In August 2005, the proposal to merge WAPI and IEEE802.11i failed. The two parties stated that the two standards could not be merged and they would be treated as separate proposals.

On October 7, 2005, both WAPI and IEEE802.11i entered the five-month substantive voting stage.

In order to **** the WAPI standard war, the State Council immediately coordinated the Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other departments to convene an inter-ministerial joint meeting to prepare for the WAPI industry alliance in China.

Although Zhiyu is a new company, its status cannot be ignored.

The Cambrian 2004C of Zhiyu Information Industry was the top 500 global supercomputers in June 2005. The newly developed Cambrian 2004D set a new record with 844 trillion Linpack calculations per second, and gradually became the top ten in China. A new century cultural brand proud of 300 million people. The Cambrian 2007 project in the preparation of Zhiyu Information Industry, and also determined to develop domestic chips for supercomputers. China wants to play against the WIFI alliance headed by Intel, how can it be without the bayonet of Zhiyu Information Industry.

The Nation series of low-end chips designed by Zhiyu IC are only low-end products, but after all they have achieved great success in the market and have quickly become the industry benchmark in the field of chip design in China; the Leader series of chips developed by self-entertainment, Slowly build a closed industrial chain around the dynamic instruction set SML as the core. What is even more surprising is that Zhiyu Music, which uses Leader chips and is produced by Zhiyu Technology, has recently achieved success in the market, with sales of 800,000 units.

Thanks to the previous technology brought by Wei Dongsheng and the technological advantages brought by the one-way information transparency of the computer intelligent life, the one-year effort of the Zhiyu R&D institution is equivalent to the two or three years of its international counterparts. The Zhiyu series of companies are all running forward, and their eyes are temporarily moved for a month. When you look back at Zhiyu, many people will suddenly discover new content.

Zhiyu Group is an indispensable part of the WAPI industry alliance prepared by the State Council.

In addition to Zhiyu, there are 22 other alliance members engaged in chip design, system product development, equipment manufacturing and operation services in the field of wireless LAN. Among the more famous ones are the National Commercial Cryptography Research Center, Xidian Jietong, Yantai Founder Group, China Power China University, Datang Microelectronics, Datang Mobile, Jesse, Huawei, Lenovo, Hisense, Haier, and China Telecom, Four major operators including China Netcom, China Mobile, and China Unicom.

Just look at the name, it seems that there are plenty of talents.

In fact, the so-called WAPI Industry Alliance is a mass of scattered sand.

The four major operators of China Telecom, China Netcom, China Mobile, and China Unicom regard the WAPI industry alliance as an administrative order, and their attitudes are optional; Yanda Founder, with the deepest network of resources, not only sent Han Kang, director of the technical management department, to attend, but also kept his mouth open. To say some unreliable administrative routines, WAPI's attitude is more indifferent than operators. Compared with the WIFI alliance headed by Intel and the Bayonet, what Yanda Founder's management is most eager for is to privatize the shares of Yanjing University at a low price like Lenovo, and the school and enterprise have turned into a private enterprise.

Picking generals from the egg, the most positive one is China Mobile. China Mobile readily accepted Zhiyu’s olive branch and formed a small alliance under the WAPI Industry Alliance with Zhiyu, Yanjing Xingtang Company, a subsidiary of Datang Group, and agreed to join Zhiyu to do WAPI plans and tests. To be on the safe side, China Mobile chose the "dual-mode solution" that pleases both sides in its initial plan, which is compatible with both WAPI and WIFI standards.

Check it out.

The WAPI Industry Alliance itself has no morale.

If you visualize the war between the WAPI Industry Alliance and the WIFI Industry Alliance, one side of the WIFI Alliance is strong, armed to the teeth, and a bunch of imposing purple heroes; one side of the WAPI Alliance is a militia called by a decree of the State Council and other departments. There are three or two cats, big and small, not only the weapon in the hand is a bamboo knife and wooden stick, but the morale is lowered to the WAPI heart and WIFI.

Even if the God of War is resurrected, it is difficult to win this war.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It stands to reason that Wei Dongsheng should take the lead in ensuring the interests of the winner. It is a pity that Wei Dongsheng has already established his roots in China, and his industrial layout is closely linked to China's politics and economy. He is not qualified to choose to stand on the side of the winner and reap the profits.

Even though this is a battle doomed to fail, Wei Dongsheng must stand firmly on the WAPI industry alliance front.

Even though his comrades were a group of half-hearted speculators, Wei Dongsheng had to raise the flag and fight bloody.

There is no other way.

Since he is rooted in China, Wei Dongsheng can't take his heart and help the Intel-led Wi-Fi alliance to kill WAPI ahead of schedule; since we have decided to develop a quantum fluctuation circle, we can't passively wait for China to rout step by step, and finally acquiesce in WIFI becoming the mainstream of the market.

In this doomed battle, Wei Dongsheng could only rise to the challenge.

Fortunately, it's not all bad news.

In order to encourage the WAPI camp to invest in research and development, the three national ministries and commissions are preparing to issue the "Implementation Opinions on Government Procurement of Wireless LAN Products." State agencies, institutions and organizations at all levels should give priority to purchasing products that meet national wireless LAN security standards and pass national product certification. , Projects with special information security requirements must purchase certified products. Although this document mainly safeguards the profits of three companies, namely Xidian Jietong, Minghua Aohan, and Yantai Founder, Zhiyu operates through the large public relations department, and there is a 90% chance that it will become one of the WAPI standard setters.

In the WAPI industry alliance, the most active is Xidian Jietong.

Xidian Jietong is the initiator of the WAPI standard for wireless local area networks. To explore its footing, Xidian Jietong is an enterprise initiated and established by the State Key Laboratory of Comprehensive Business Network Theory and Key Technology of Xidian University. It only serves as a news spokesperson. The State Key Laboratory of Integrated Business Network Theory and Key Technology of Xidian University, the State Key Laboratory of Radar Signal Processing, and the State Key Laboratory of Antenna and Microwave Technology have been working for the national defense industry.

Behind the little vest is a big backing.

Perhaps because of this, the response of the American wireless LAN standard WIFI Alliance is so intense.

Except for Xidian Jietong, the rest of the WAPI Industry Alliance is divided.

Except for China Mobile, other companies are too lazy to develop in-depth cooperation with Zhiyu on WAPI business.

XDJT’s persistence is also because he is the initiator. Even if the situation at WAPI is not good, XDJT will continue to receive funding subsidies as long as the situation is not good. This kind of persistence, lacking the sense of urgency that a normal enterprise will die, is not worthy of trust. Perhaps only the Zhiyu Group led by Wei Dongsheng is the only one who really values ​​the WAPI standard war, is really willing to invest a huge amount of money for it, and really dares to fight hard against Intel.

In order to show his importance, Wei Dongsheng personally deeply participated in the WAPI industry alliance.

However, he has no intention of concubine, other companies despise the role of WAPI industry alliance, and they are all small pawns who have no decision-making power. Talk to Cao Jun, general manager of Xidian Jietong, Xidian Jietong regards WAPI standards as their own interests , Do not want to "share the profit" to Zhiyu. Only the "dual-mode solution" cooperating with China Mobile has a slight shadow of success. It was also realizing that he could not expect the assistance of his teammates in the future. After Wei Dongsheng returned to Yanjing from Hangzhou, his mood became increasingly depressed, and he gradually looked down on the value of WAPI industry alliance.

For this reason, Ji Susu could not understand it.

Ji Susu does not know the quantum wave circle plan, so it is difficult to understand why Wei Dongsheng tirelessly pursues influence in the field of communication equipment, and it is difficult to understand why Wei Dongsheng joined the WAPI industry alliance that seems doomed.

That being the case, Wei Dongsheng simply hid his depression in his heart.

Ji Susu perceives Wei Dongsheng’s melancholy when talking about the WAPI Industry Alliance. He is self-incapable of expelling Wei Dongsheng’s worries, and simply changes the topic quietly: “I saw a video of you and Ma Yun, Ma Huateng and others on the West Lake discussing swords on the Internet. You said You only started contacting the Internet after graduating from junior high school. How did you learn computer at the beginning? I mean, what knowledge do you learn first and what knowledge do you learn later?"

Wei Dongsheng could not say that these were all memories from previous lives, so he temporarily made up a white lie: "I, learn while practicing, and search the Internet to find answers when you encounter problems. Spring and Autumn Search was born like this."

Ji Susu sighed and said annoyed: "But, I don’t understand. I don’t understand one place. I used Spring and Autumn Search to find the answer, but found that there are several other things in the answer that I don’t understand. Look for these unintelligible questions. Every ignorance gave rise to new problems, but the original problem was forgotten. For example, when I read about storage systems, I found that the names of hard disks are different. The English for'read' is read_cache,' The English word for'write' is write_buffer. Hard disk read and write operations should be the same thing. Why do the former use cache and the latter use buffer? I was confused at the time."

Ji Susu is normal.

The normal learning method is to have the outline skeleton first, and then the details.

Without the overall impression of the outline framework, if you want to quickly understand a certain industry through search engines, you will probably fall into the predicament of "at first glance, it looks like one thing, but the general direction is already wrong". However, Ji Susu is a software engineering major after all. After she finishes reading the basic textbooks and builds a skeleton impression, she will know where the boundaries of learning are, what is not understood, and what is not understood, there is no need to understand.
