Chapter 2342 Multiple Bets

In fact, there are two types of frequencies allocated by the Radiocommunication Conference to 3G: FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) and TDD (Time Division Duplex).Because Europe is sparsely populated and the number of base stations is small, W-CDMA in Europe is based on FDD technology. Under the condition of the same frequency and the same power, FDD can provide better coverage than TDD.But China is densely populated, and many base stations have been built, so TDD, which no one cares about, has become a breakthrough for China

mouth.More importantly, there are relatively few foreign manufacturers with TDD, and China has a greater chance of success in raising its own standards in the TDD field. In June 1998, the research and development team led by Datang Telecom proposed China's own TD-SCDMA standard. In May 6, the Ministry of Information Industry, China Mobile, China Unicom and other operators made tough statements

With support, the International Telecommunication Union officially announced that TD-SCDMA submitted by China will be listed as the three major 2000G standards along with WCDMA led by Europe and CDMA3 led by the United States.Although compared with the other two standards, TD-SCDMA is the weakest, so that even when China Mobile got the 3G license nine years later, China was still thinking about it. It is the only company in the world to build TD-SCDMA.
One can imagine the pressure.

However, China's research and development of TD-SCDMA is equivalent to "two bombs and one satellite" in the communication field.

Now it seems that this strategy is extremely wise. A group of chip companies such as Spreadtrum have gradually grown up. Since then, we are no longer controlled by others in terms of technical standards.More importantly, we let Westerners understand one thing. If China's right to speak is not increased in the standard setting, China is fully capable of creating a standard by itself, and it is very likely to lose the Chinese market at that time.

Therefore, many years later, Europe tried its best to woo China to join in the formulation of 4G standards.In the previous life, Huawei also suffered from 3G.In fact, Huawei is very late in mobile communication. It started GSM research and development in 1998, but the development speed is very fast. One and a half years later, it won the first bid.
At that time, taking advantage of the impact of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, Huawei won a large market in Southeast Asia with a price 30% lower than that of its competitors.Huawei, which has made money on GSM, is full of confidence in 3G and has invested a lot of personnel and funds to overcome 3G technology.Huawei has adopted a three-headed bet strategy and invested in technology research and development for the three 3G standards, which has brought great benefits to the company.

It has become a great financial pressure, and Huawei urgently hopes that the government will issue 3G licenses as soon as possible, whichever standard will do.It is a pity that the Chinese government has not issued 3G licenses for a long time.At that time, in the field of 3G, China could say that it had nothing, no chips, no mobile phones, no base stations, no instruments and meters, everything had to be done from the basics

Since then, if 3G licenses were issued at that time, it would undoubtedly be dominated by WCDMA and CDMA2000.Fortunately, with the joint participation of Tianyin and Huawei, China has accumulated a certain amount of technology in the field of 3G communications. In the next one to two years, related chips and mobile phones can be developed.
At this time, China will take the initiative in the field of 3G communications, and occupy a considerable market share in a large range of the world.However, Tianyin Group wants to open its wireless communication products to the US market, so it must abide by the rules formulated by the US. As a communication product with a very common influence and penetration rate, due to national security and economic strategy considerations, Americans will never open up this market easily. Only when American companies participate and occupy a certain amount of dominance can mobile phones made in China occupy a place in the United States. Otherwise...

If not, they have all kinds of ways to keep Chinese products out.The United States is not naive in this matter, and Duan Yun is not a naive person. Although they have made a major breakthrough with Huawei under the TD-SCDMA standard framework, Duan Yun and Ren Zhengfei have always

It is a multi-faceted bet, and they are also developing communication technologies based on WCDMA and CDMA2000 standards at the same time.In the current world, no company can invest in the research and development of three 3G standards at the same time. On the one hand, it is because of their inherent advantages. These American and European companies participating in 3G research and development, they

In the era of 3G communication, we already have our own advantages, so when entering the era of research and development of [-]G communication technology, the first thing we think of is to consolidate our advantages. This is the most conservative development plan with the highest success rate.On the other hand, investing in the development of communication technology under the three standards at the same time requires an astonishing amount of capital and labor costs. Relatively speaking, the cost of technical labor in Europe is much higher than that in mainland China.

An excellent R&D engineer in the United States can have an annual salary of 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands of dollars, while in China, a monthly salary of more than [-] is already a very high salary, and the salary is still in RMB.The difference between China and European and American countries lies in their industrial strength and technical background, but in terms of talents, the Chinese are still very smart.
For example, Tsinghua University and Peking University study abroad every year, and more and more fresh graduates choose to work abroad, which can also explain some problems realistically.Moreover, in terms of financial resources, Tianyin Group is now not inferior to many foreign multinational giants. For a long time, Tianyin Group has obtained very rich Lilan relying on the domestic market. The company's cash flow is very abundant, and just last year At that time, Tianyin Group also followed Wall Street capital in the United States to make a fortune in Southeast Asia, and its foreign exchange reserves were about to exceed 20 billion U.S. dollars. Such a strong financial strength was enough to support many of Duan Yun's ambitions

and ideas.Duan Yun and Huawei have jointly developed 3G communication technology under the three international standards. The goal is to seize the big cake in the global communication market.
Well-known and influential European and American technology companies in the industry have joined forces to compete in the US and European markets.In the United States, Qualcomm Group is undoubtedly the best partner for 3G communications. They have abundant funds and talents, and they have accumulated a large number of patented technologies in the 2G era, and they have the ability to produce chips and master
For most of the core patents of CDMA2000, there should be no problem in cooperating with them to occupy the US market in the 3G communication era.But in the eyes of Duan Yun, Qualcomm is not an ideal partner. The main reason is that Qualcomm is too powerful in the field of wireless communication technology. It is fundamental for Tianyin Group and Qualcomm to cooperate in third-generation communication technology. There is no doubt that they cannot be treated as "equal partners".
