Originally, two New Zealand telecom operators provided network services to New Zealand. However, after the launch of Starlink Trading’s quantum communication satellite was completed and free i-Fi services were provided to the entire New Zealand, these two foreign companies Telecom operators' businesses in the new country were instantly squeezed out.
Who would use paid stuff when there are free stuff
Although the Internet speed is not the fastest in the world, it is certainly sufficient. The following delay is also impeccable in terms of user experience. After all, even if this value is lower, the human eye cannot tell the difference.
The service life of a quantum communication satellite is about 5-10 years, and the cost is about 100-200 million U.S. dollars. Starring Trading is expected to launch a total of 36 satellites into synchronous orbit. Taking into account the launch cost of the rocket, Starring Trading averages The annual budget for space activities will reach 1.5 billion US dollars.
Because resources are scarce in the apocalypse, Jiang Chen did not want to waste Jiang Lin's time on producing this thing, so he moved the entire production line of quantum communication satellites to the present world. Considering that quantum communication technology must be kept strictly confidential, this production line has become the most automated production line in the Future Group, with 85% of the production procedures completed by drones.
Although this design doubled the cost of the production line, it cut the labor cost of producing satellites to a certain extent.
In the long run, the investment is worth it!
But no matter what, projects involving space are still very expensive.
Perhaps when the space elevator is built in the future, the situation will be better.
Regarding the withdrawal of foreign telecom operators, Jiang Chen, based on the principle of no waste, acquired New Zealand Telecom's branch in New Zealand at a floor price of US$210 million, and took over all its interface equipment and talents. After reorganizing the business, it was merged into The Xinghuan Trading Network Project Department provides technical services for Xinguo’s Internet interface.
Due to quantity issues, the current function of quantum communication satellites is only equivalent to a large router. Although this "router" can "observe" weak electromagnetic wave signals tens of thousands of kilometers away through the quantum entanglement effect due to its particularity, thereby realizing Internet data exchange between satellites and conventional mobile phones. But in the final analysis, this router still needs to be connected to the ground signal base station.
For example, if a user in New Zealand wants to access a website in the United States, although the Internet is connected via satellite, the data still has to rely on ground base stations and travel through submarine cables.
The innovation of quantum communication satellites lies in the traditional "user-Guangyao (or iFi + Guangyao)-server" data transmission model. Reformed to the "user-satellite-server" model. Its ability to accept data uploaded by clients can be regarded as an upgraded version of Google's global ifi plan.
When all 36 Starlink Trading satellites are launched and the "iFi signal" covers the entire earth, then will be the moment when submarine cables begin to retire from the stage of history.
Putting aside all technical aspects, perhaps the cheap weather observation services provided by Star Ring Trading have not yet brought any benefits to the people of the new country. But the free ifi plan received rave reviews as soon as it was launched. Whether you are at home or fishing at sea, as long as you are in New Zealand, you can connect to the ifi signal.
At the beginning, when Starlink Trading announced that it would provide free WiFi to the entire New Zealand via satellite, foreign experts were dismissive. However, when they discovered that Star Ring Trade had actually succeeded, these experts and professors were all dumbfounded. Universities and scientific research institutions almost made calls to Star Ring Trade.
As for the inquiries from the outside world, the answers given by Star Ring Trading were very official.
1. Communication does not exceed the speed of light.
2. The specific signal transmission channel involves corporate confidentiality, and no response will be given.
But it’s funny to say. This epoch-making technology first frightened not the experts and professors, but the telecom companies thousands of kilometers away.
Although satellites must rely on ground interfaces to provide users with ifi services, the location of this interface does not necessarily have to be in the country and can be placed in any corner of the earth.
In other words, Starlink Trading only needs to maintain a large Internet interface in the new country, and it can provide WiFi to any user in the area covered by the signal through the quantum communication satellite. These users access the Internet through the interface of the new country and have nothing to do with the country in which they are located.
For some people, this is terrible news!
Free ifi? Whole territory coverage? This is a money grab!
CTV and many other media spoke out overnight, questioning Xinghuan Trading’s free WiFi plan. It may violate the laws of neighboring countries such as Australia and New Guinea, and even the Liu family cannot help if they want to. The telecommunications industry involves too many interest chains, and even the Liu family cannot face these objections alone.
The first time the official media spoke. Liu Xiangguo called Jiang Chen.
"You did this a bit ill-advisedly."
Thoughtless
When he received the call, Jiang Chen was still a little confused. He didn't remember that he had any plans to start any business in China recently. Could it be that Ning Huajian had done something
After listening to Liu Xiangguo's words, he found that that was not the case at all, so he explained in a dumbfounded voice, "Free WiFi will only be implemented in the new country. It is a benefit for the citizens of the new country as a result of the Star Ring trade, and it cannot be implemented in other regions. The recent cooperation project we have negotiated with Australian telecom operators also provides account-based Internet access services to individual users at a monthly price of 15 Australian dollars."
15 Australian dollars is equivalent to 11.6 US dollars, or 75 yuan. Such a price is still very attractive to Australians whose average Internet access fee is 60 Australian dollars and whose traffic is limited. Only a few areas can enjoy unlimited traffic and high-speed Internet service because of the access points of the NN plan.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Liu Xiangguo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me ask one more question, which interface is used for your cooperation project with Australia?"
"It could be New Zealand or Australia, but they enthusiastically said that we could leave the interface maintenance to them, so we handed over the interface maintenance for Australian users. After all, maintaining network interfaces is not a small expense. expenses." Leaning on the office chair, Jiang Chen habitually turned the pen with his right hand and held the mobile phone in his left hand to explain to Uncle Liu.
Speaking of which, he is still a little puzzled. Star Ring Trading has never launched any business in China. The only two overseas businesses, apart from the civil war between Morocco and the Philippines, are the recent business cooperation with Australia.
"In other words, if Australians want to use your Starring Trading's ifi, should they use the Australian operator's interface?"
It's quite funny to say that neither Liu Xiangguo nor Jiang Chen know much about these professional knowledge. No matter how they discuss these issues with each other, they seem to be pretending to understand.
"Theoretically, yes." Jiang Chen reluctantly nodded.
Although he wanted to add to the old man that this was not necessary. But he thought about it and gave up the idea.
Hearing Jiang Chen's affirmative statement, Liu Xiangguo smiled.
"I see, then I'm relieved. But you can just do it abroad... you know what I mean."
"Don't you want to surf the Internet for free?" Jiang Chen asked with a strange expression.
"Do you think the Liu family lacks the Internet fee?" Liu Xiangguo laughed.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, understanding what the old man was referring to, and then he started laughing.
"makes sense."
After chatting with Uncle Liu for a while, he hung up the phone.
With the Future People Group's annual support of more than one billion, the Liu family really does not need to worry too much about the family's accounts. As long as the Future People Group doesn't do anything too outrageous, the Liu family's energy can still stop it, so they can still get this money for a long, long time...
A few hundred yuan for internet fees? A drop in the ocean. (.)
