The International Telecommunications Union is currently discussing when to officially publish 3G communication technology standards. Although there were three mainstream standards in the past, Europe and the United States have never wanted China's 3G standard to be included in them.
To put it bluntly, whoever's standards can be promoted more widely will have the upper hand. Not just communication operators, but also mobile phone manufacturers.
In the previous life, China's standards were also the weakest. Europe's 3G standard had the most users, followed by the United States, and China's the least. The ratio of the number of users is 6:3:1, which shows how weak China's 3G technology is.
However, with the participation of communication operators from India in this world, and other Asian countries also expressing interest, it will definitely develop better.
Moreover, 3G is just a transitional product. In less than five years, the 4G standard will begin to be implemented again. In the previous life, China's TD-SCDMA was also directly studied in 4G technology at that time, and it was jokingly called by many people as the shortest-lived 3G standard technology.
In order for this standard to be promoted and implemented better, the most important thing is to have the support of communication operators.
The reason why Mexican communications tycoons became the world's top richest people in previous lives was because of the U.S. 3G and 4G standards. Their company was also one of the participants in the formulation of them, and it had achieved monopoly in many areas.
…
Opposite Mr. Lin from Gongxinbu was sitting an important guest, Feng Yu, the world's richest man and a mobile phone tycoon.
"Mr. Feng, you said you want to buy the technology license of TD-SCDMA?"
"Yes, private communication operators are not allowed in China, but there are no restrictions abroad. I plan to invest in several communication operators next year, and I need 3G technology authorization."
Lin Bu is happy to grow up, which is a great thing. This will not only make more money, but also allow the 3G technology developed by China to be promoted better.
"No problem, this matter is easy to discuss, and I can even sell it to you now!"
Feng Yu shook his head: "Now? Your technology is still in the testing stage, not mature, right? The International Telecommunications Union has not officially determined that your technology is one of the 3G standards."
If it cannot become a standard, then why buy it? It cannot be promoted at all. The most important point is that Feng Yu doesn't have the money to buy communications operators now.
The richest man in the world has no money. If you say this, no one will believe it. But the cash Feng Yu can use now is really very little.
By the end of next year, his plan should be completed, and the proceeds will be spent at that time. Communications is a good investment direction.
Lin Buchang smiled awkwardly. It was an indisputable fact that their technology was relatively backward. But the technology they researched has indeed met the requirements of the 3G standard.
"This is good. We are confident that by the end of this year or early next year, it will definitely become one of the 3G standards recognized by the International Telecommunications Union."
"By the way, Mr. Feng. Why didn't you Fengyu Mobile and Aihua Mobile come to participate in the bidding for 3G mobile phone manufacturing in Yidong Company this time?"
"I can make the decision. If you bid now, it's still too late. I can even guarantee you that you will definitely win at least 30% of the bid in the end. How about that?"
Feng Yu glanced at Lin Buchang, as if he was still taking care of us, but we really don't want to be a test machine.
"Thank you, Chief Lin, for your kindness. Let's give this opportunity to other domestic mobile phone manufacturers. I also hope that their mobile phones will get better and better, grow up as soon as possible, and make important contributions to our country!"
Even if this test machine is really good, Feng Yu is not interested. The total number of test machines this time is only 60,000, and the winning bid for 30% is only over 10,000. It is not cost-effective to build a factory's production line.
At this time, whether it is Fengyu mobile phones or Aihua mobile phones, the mobile phones produced by the factory have no worries about selling, and the profits are also good. Abandoning this mature production model to produce the test machine, Feng Yu had a problem in his head.
Xu Lihua and others have already developed the production technology for 3G mobile phones. They can produce it anytime they want.
Chief Lin thought it was a favor, but looking at Feng Yu's expression, it was clear that he didn't like it. It would be wrong to say that Feng Yu is not optimistic about 3G technology. Feng Yu is planning to buy their technology.
"Mr. Feng, they say you have a unique vision, so if you plan to invest in 3G communications, do you think it will rise?"
"I recognize the rise of 3G communications. However, times are changing rapidly, and 3G may not be popular for long. Mr. Lin must understand the Internet. Many years ago, our country was still narrowband. Then, it quickly transitioned to broadband. "
"But not long after the development of broadband, super broadband, that is, optical fiber, began to be launched. The network speed increased exponentially, but the improvement time became shorter and shorter."
"Technology is changing with each passing day. Technologies we once thought were powerful may not be able to meet people's needs. The development of technology will always meet people's higher needs, but can people's needs be completely met?"
"Look at network technology, from dial-up Internet access, to broadband, to optical fiber, the speed has increased many times, but some people still think it is slow. The same is true for communication technology. 3G is equivalent to broadband. Don't users want to use the speed of optical fiber? "
Chief Lin hesitated and said, "Are you talking about 4G?"
"Yes, we should focus on developing 4G, or even 5G!"
4G is also a concept that was proposed very early, which is the fourth generation of mobile communication technology. 3G only requires the upload and download speed to exceed 2M, but 4G requires the speed to reach 20M, which is ten times higher. The peak theoretical speed is 100M!
After the emergence of 4G network, mobile communication traffic charges will become more and more profitable. 3G is, after all, just a transition.
But just as 2G will not disappear when 3G emerges, 3G will not disappear after 4G appears. In fact, 2G will still exist.
However, communication networks established using 4G technology can also increase the speed of 3G, and the establishment of communication networks is very expensive.
Guge Company has made a request to Fengyu Holding Group to build its own super broadband optical fiber network with a speed of 1G.
The current mainstream broadband speed is just over 1M. In better areas, it can reach 4M. Regions such as South Korea, which has always been a leader in the world, have just reached 10M.
Kameda Masao and Ralph disagreed with Guge Company's plan. This plan can actually share some resources with 4G network construction.
So Feng Yu agreed to the plan in his heart, but it was really too early to start now.
Moreover, this requires too much funds. The current Guge Company cannot afford it. Even Fengyu Holding Group is very difficult. A conservative estimate requires an investment of more than 50 billion US dollars!
But in the future, this can effectively combine the Internet, communication networks and television networks, and the potential is still very huge.
While chatting with Lin Bu about this matter, the fruit company announced a big news!
