Silicon Valley
Chapter 110
Amid the applause, Henry walked slowly onto the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the CDMA network standards press conference. I''m Henry Williams. I am honored to be here to host such a significant press conference. After months of efforts, the CDMA network standard has been finally formulated. As we all know, most of the current wireless communication technologies use TDMA, even GSM in Europe also uses TDMA. However, the CDMA (code division multiple access) launched by Cisco''s Qualcomm is more advanced and mature in spread spectrum communication technology! TDMA needs 10 base stations to cover the range, while CDMA only needs 2. I believe you can see at a glance who is superior or inferior
After a pause, Henry snapped his fingers at the staff, and then the computer projection screen behind him lit up, showing a map of the United States!
Henry pointed to the map and said, "look, the red dots on it will be our first base station pilot. There are a total of 1000 base stations, mainly distributed in Washington, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and other major American cities and surrounding towns. At the same time, it won''t be long before the mobile phone manufacturers cooperating with us will launch corresponding CDMA mobile phones. If the pilot is successful, the United States will fully promote CDMA network!!! At that time, CDMA mobile phone users can not only enjoy clearer sound quality, but also make calls anytime and anywhere without obstruction. They don''t have to worry about whether there is a signal or not, because CDMA technology has the widest communication coverage in the world at present
make love!!!!
All of a sudden, applause!
Henry smiles and waits for the reporter''s question.
Washington Post: "Mr. Williams, GSM communication network has become popular in Europe. It is said that the cost of building GSM network is several times cheaper than CDMA. What do you think of this? Do you think GSM or CDMA is powerful? "
Henry replied: "in terms of technology, CDMA technology is far more powerful than GSM technology and has more development prospects! But in terms of construction cost, GSM does have an advantage. Therefore, at present, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. But I believe GSM will be eliminated by CDMA sooner or later! "
Los Angeles Times: "may I ask Mr. Williams what kind of authorization method does the CDMA technology of Qualcomm adopt?"
"We use two kinds of licensing methods, one is to sell mobile phone chips directly, the other is to license technology and collect patent fees!" Henry said with a smile, "in order to make its own chips, Qualcomm has even acquired arm, a very outstanding chip design company in the UK! I believe that countless manufacturers will be more willing to buy our communication chips directly at that time! "
……
……
The day after the press conference, newspapers in the United States highly praised and supported CDMA communication technology! European newspapers, on the other hand, beat it down and strongly advocated the GSM network.
For a while, American newspapers and European newspapers have a war of words!!
And the people love to read this, so newspaper sales soared. However, the people just watch the excitement. It''s hard for them to understand and realize the impact of this incident on the field of wireless communication!
Traditional wireless communication will be gradually replaced by GSM and CDMA!
The final showdown is only between GSM and CDMA!
The competition between GSM and CDMA is actually the competition between European and American power!!!
The standard of GSM is European, the standard of CDMA is American, whose standard is popularized more widely, who can divide up more benefits!!!
……
……
Shortly after the news conference, Henry told Owen Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm, "as soon as possible, we should arrange to move the headquarters of arm company to the United States and set up an office in the United Kingdom! The move of arm company to the United States can speed up the research and development of CDMA communication chip of Qualcomm! In addition, arm company is cooperating with Apple company. It''s more convenient to move here! "
"OK, I''ll arrange it later!" Owen Jacob nodded.
With that, Henry left the company. Then I went to Silicon Valley electronics group company. MP3 has been made. At first glance, it looks like a slightly larger matchbox. There is a square LCD screen in the center of the front. After turning on, it shows a simple play interface. Mp3 flash memory size is very pit dad, a megabyte is not, reluctantly put a only 50kb size of MP3 music into.
Just like this MP3, it looks like it''s a product made up of random pieces, but it''s a work of painstaking efforts! Among them, the cost alone has been as high as $300.
Such a product will definitely not be put on the market. But what Henry wants is not to launch the market first, but to register the patent first!
Circle the ground, so Henry doesn''t have to worry
In addition, there is too little music in MP3 format, and MP3 products are developed. If there are no MP3 songs, how can they be used?
So, Henry asked Silicon Valley electronics group to improve MP3 on one hand, and on the other hand, he is going to develop a music sharing website to collect all kinds of MP3 music on the Internet for users to download and listen to!
After that, Henry founded a new company called "Tiantian music company", which established an MP3 music sharing website with the domain name of "www.mp3. Com", and set up a research and development team of 20 people to develop the music website.
Henry, as a man of status, how can he play piracy? That''s a shame... So Henry''s original plan was to cooperate with major record companies around the world to obtain their online copyright.
Now there are some MP3 music on the Internet. However, these are free pirated music produced and uploaded by a group of music lovers. Their purpose is just to share music, but it damages the interests of major record companies. Just imagine, if everyone goes to the Internet to listen to music, who will buy records? Therefore, the major record companies boycott MP3 pirated music. However, pirated music is not banned, but the momentum of development is more fierce!
The major record companies hate MP3 music on the Internet. Henry sent people to talk about cooperation, and he specialized in MP3 music sharing websites... It''s conceivable that they can''t get good results?
All the men Henry sent were defeated.
Henry summed up his experience and finally came to a conclusion: it''s a long way to go to build an MP3 music sharing website! However, since the major record companies are not willing to cooperate, it seems that they can only play piracy, which is forced by you...
