v2 Chapter 185: cdma chip

Henry returned to the Williams laboratory and asked about the research progress of wifi, java, and p2p. The p2p technology has been realized for a long time, and it is currently being studied how to use it more maturely and efficiently. There is a big framework for java, the development speed is very fast, and the java language will be launched within two years! It’s just that the wifi technology research and development speed is a bit slow. Without three or four years of development, it may be difficult to apply it to the market.

Henry thought of Bluetooth technology from wifi technology. He suddenly remembered that in 1994, the Swedish telecommunications giant Ericsson invented Bluetooth technology. This technology has very promising application prospects. The unanimous support of a large number of companies such as Siemens, Siemens, and more than 2,000 companies subsequently joined the Bluetooth Technology Alliance, including many of the world’s most famous companies in the fields of computers, communications and consumer electronics, and even manufacturers of automobiles and cameras. And the manufacturer...

Bluetooth technology is a short-distance, low-cost wireless connection technology, and is an open solution that can realize wireless transmission of voice and data. When wifi is not popular, Bluetooth technology is undoubtedly the best alternative!

Bluetooth technology was widely used in mobile phones in the early days! The most common one is that two mobile phones are close, connected to Bluetooth, and then wireless data transmission is realized!

Wi-Fi technology and Bluetooth technology have their own merits.

Wifi is more advantageous than Bluetooth in terms of medium and long distances and transmission speed, and Bluetooth is also unique in terms of low power consumption and cost.

Henry said that if you catch it all in one go, everything is king.

Both wifi technology and bluetooth technology must be included in the bag! ! !

then. Henry couldn't wait to set up a Bluetooth development team, and he was poaching people from all over the world. In addition, many recent graduates majoring in wireless communication technology have been recruited from universities around the world. Henry opened the golden finger and told them directly, first try to study Bluetooth technology in the microwave spectrum between 2.402GHz to 2.480GHz. Henry told them to try. In fact, the microwave spectrum of Bluetooth technology is in the range of 2.402 GHz to 2.480 GHz. In this way, you can avoid detours and save a lot of time. Whatever the case, you have to register the Bluetooth technology patent before Ericsson! ! !

When Henry formed the Bluetooth development team, the cdma chip developed by Qualcomm and ARM was completed, combining Qualcomm's cdma technology with the ARM instruction set core. Has a powerful and stable CDMA communication network, and supports WAP services! WAP is a network communication protocol that Qualcomm announced to the outside world at the time when Qualcomm held a product launch conference to release the cdma chip. WAP enables mobile to have a universal standard, and its goal is to introduce rich information and advanced services to wireless terminals such as mobile phones.

Therefore, after the product launch, it caused a global sensation!

In particular, the proposal of the WAP network communication protocol makes it possible to surf the Internet on mobile phones. Global telecommunications giants and mobile phone manufacturers have rushed to Qualcomm! ! !

Although WAP has not yet formed a standard, Qualcomm is a giant company in CDMA technology standards. The launch of the WAP network communication protocol is a matter of course. Companies that don’t want to join WAP are not good companies...

Even the G** Alliance came to Qualcomm on its knees. Who said Qualcomm was the first to propose the WAP network communication protocol! Everyone recognizes it. Standards can be formed, the G** Alliance does not want to be eliminated, it must come! ! ! The G** Alliance actually doesn't want to promote WAP. The reason is that the G** network uses narrowband technology. The network speed is not good, compared with CDMA network. But it has a great advantage! If G** proposes WAP, it is tantamount to helping CDMA. and so. Even if G** thinks about these, we can't propose WAP when the market hasn't fully established itself!

However, Qualcomm moved too fast, and the CDMA chip was developed with WAP function. The G** Alliance felt a sense of helplessness immediately!

The G** network is just low in cost, and compared with CDMA, it is useless! ! !

Under the influence of Henry in this world, CDMA has not started much slower than G**. In the previous life, Qualcomm was just a small company at the beginning. Therefore, CDMA developed slowly, while G** had the support of the European Union, and it had occupied the market early! CDMA is struggling, but in the end it still relies on technology to kill the blood. What about G**? Finally was eliminated, even European countries have announced the suspension of G** services! ! !

At present, the analog mobile network still occupies the mainstream all over the world, but the development of G** and CDMA has become a trend!

Especially in developed countries, the elimination of analog mobile networks is very fast. More than 65% of the European market belongs to G**, and 55% of the North American market belongs to CDMA.

It can be said that the simulated mobile network is enough to ignore, and the real confrontation is G** and CDMA!

But once WAP comes out, I'm afraid the balance of victory will lean towards CDMA.

The chip released by Qualcomm this time, called "Xiaolong 100", is a very simple entry-level "feature machine" chip. Each chip sells for one thousand US dollars, but the cost price is less than four hundred US dollars! Although it is so expensive, the company that wants to buy has already crossed the threshold! ! !

At present, a mobile phone generally costs three to four thousand dollars, and the most expensive component in a mobile phone is the communication chip!

Buying a "Xiaolong 100" chip, plus other manufacturing costs, the total cost of a mobile phone will not be as high as two thousand dollars, but you can buy three thousand, four thousand, or even five thousand dollars! ! !

Is this gimmick not big enough for a mobile phone that can access the Internet?

In the United States, e-mail is very popular and has become a part of daily life. As far as Henry knows in his previous life, some Americans would rather use bb machines than mobile phones because it is so cheap. I would rather send emails with my mobile phone than make a phone call, because it is cheap. This phenomenon is the same as Chinese people sending text messages instead of calling...

Naturally, mobile phones with e-mail capabilities can certainly be sought after by the public!

Therefore, if a mobile phone can send and receive emails, it will undoubtedly have a great competitive advantage for mobile phones and telecom companies! ! !

Therefore, the "Xiaolong 100" chip is extremely popular! ! !

In the United States, major telecommunications companies that have built CDMA networks have begun to cooperate closely with their own mobile phone manufacturers, suggesting that they buy "Xiaolong 100" chips to produce customized phones ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ mobile phone manufacturers Knowing the benefits of this "Xiaolong 100" chip, they immediately adjusted the production plan and purchased the "Xiaolong 100" chip from Qualcomm to produce mobile phones that can access the Internet! ! !

In just one week, the number of orders reached one million chips. This is still the case where CDMA networks are not popularized. If CDMA networks are popularized globally, Qualcomm will sell tens of millions of chips a year. If mobile phones are also popular, one person will have to sell at least several hundred million chips a year! ! !

For the second time, global mobile phone and telecommunications companies gathered in Qualcomm, the last time was the CDMA standard, this time the WAP standard. The major media all looked at Qualcomm differently. Why is this company so awesome! ! ! ! !

"Chairman, we did this WAP network communication protocol as you said before. Now WAP has received global attention and it is only a matter of time before the standard is formed!!!"

"Well, that's good!" Henry said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The first-class company sets the standard, and Qualcomm wants to keep up with the standard in the future!!!"

"Yes, chairman!!!" (please subscribe!)
