Rewrite the Technological Landscape

"Mr. Meng has something on his mind." After the meeting in the morning, the leaders took the initiative to find Meng Qian and tested Meng Qian with such a sentence.

Meng Qian responded bluntly, "There are still Dafeng Group's competitors sitting on the table, so it's inconvenient to say too much."

Everyone showed a smile and signaled Meng Qian to sit down and chat, "Then I don't know if it's convenient for Mr. Meng to chat with us?"

Meng Qian joked, "Why don't the leaders sign a non-disclosure agreement first?"

Now that I have dealt with all kinds of leaders a lot, Meng Qian has also met acquaintances, and sometimes he will speak rashly. The leader in front of me, Meng Qian, is very familiar. The other party smiled nonchalantly, "It's only half an hour. Let's talk business."

Meng Qian immediately got serious and took out a document, "This is a speculation made by our Dafeng Group based on our own research and development and information obtained from external sources. You can take a look at it."

While the leader was looking at the document, Meng Qian explained, "First of all, I can basically confirm one thing now, which is what I guessed at the beginning. Not only does Omi not have an alliance, but he is going to fight, so I still have this attitude, the snipe and the clam fight each other. The fisherman reaps the benefits.

The key now is how to profit. Our conclusion is that it is not good to bet on WiMAX in the United States, because one advantage of technology is that its essence cannot be deceived.

The experts discussed for a long time just now. Although the two sides have different opinions, there is actually a consensus on one issue, that is, the essence of WiMAX is an access technology serving broadband.

The essence of the research and development of LET is to serve mobile communications, but a concept has emerged during the development of communications over the years, called network unification. The model of WiMAX is to move closer from broadband to mobile communications. On the contrary, LET uses Mobile communication is moving closer to broadband.

So at this time, many people may think that these two things seem very similar, and there are indeed many similarities in technology, but as I said just now, the essence of technology never deceives people. As Professor Cao said, 4G is Mobile communication technology, there is absolutely no doubt about it.

Although I also look forward to the emergence of the era of network unification, at least all the research and development conclusions of our Dafeng Group tell me that it is not now, nor in the next few years. Maybe it will not be until the 5G, 6G, or even 7G era. possible. "

Facing the leaders, Meng Qian will definitely not talk to them about deep technology. It is enough to let them understand the meaning through popular sayings. After the leader understands it, he immediately asks his own question, "I remember your suggestion last time America stands together, right?"

"right."

"Then if you think WiMAX will fail, why should we support a failed product? Didn't we gamble in the wrong direction and miss LTE?"

"Well." Meng Qian made a complicated expression, "Well, this matter is indeed a bit complicated. I will first make an analysis from the two directions of the United States and Europe, and then come to the overall conclusion.

Let me first talk about the purpose of my trip to America. First of all, what I just said in the conference room is that WiMAX has a lot in common with China's 4G R\u0026D direction, especially TDD. 3GPP has always been a force The introduction of FDD is indeed an obstacle to our deployment of communication equipment around the world. If WiMAX really fails in a few years, it will be laying the foundation for our TD-LTE.

The base stations are all built, and the systems are all set up. Shouldn't they all be discarded?

The second is a trade-off in the situation. Judging from the situation in the 3G era, the market share of European standards is as high as 80%, and our Chinese standards have almost no overseas markets. Because on the one hand, it can help contain Europe, and on the other hand, it can even help to build more TDD base stations in Europe. After all, Europe is not a united place. Although there are no European countries that are pro-China, there are European countries that are pro-Mi Not a lot.

Let’s look at what our purpose is if we stand in Europe. In fact, there is only one purpose, which is for LTE and future 4G, because we can get more technologies and markets from Europe, because we have already achieved certain results in LTE. , because we want to have a greater say in the future 4G. If we engage in WiMAX, the core technology will be in the United States. "

This is actually the reason why Huaxia refused to join the WiMAX camp in the United States. It was not to give Europe face or anything, but for independent intellectual property rights. In the development of LTE, Huaxia performed well without Dafeng Group. But if WiMAX is really turned into 4G, it will be over, and all core technologies will be subject to the United States.

In the past few years, Huaxia has realized the importance of independent intellectual property rights and increased its independent research and development stage. From aircraft carriers to Beidou to 4G, Huaxia has begun to plan and deploy independent research and development in many important fields, so it follows the United States to develop Huaxia's core independent knowledge. WiMAX, which has no property rights, is contrary to the current general policy of China's technology development.

"Next, let's analyze the current situation. Taiwan Province has already made it very clear that it supports WiMAX 100%, and Samsung has also joined the WiMAX camp. In fact, this matter is completely expected, because Korea has always attached great importance to WiMAX research and development. Even without the United States, he himself still regards WiMAX as a next-generation communication technology. Neon countries, the Philippines, and Malaysia seem to be preparing for experiments in the near future.

Let’s not talk about Australia. Now to put it bluntly, in fact, the countries in the European Union are at odds with the United States, so Intel is so anxious to come to China to negotiate. What does the United States want? Is it our China's influence in the communications field?

I think it is the market. Since we joined the WTO, the huge potential and huge space of the Chinese market has become a global topic, especially the title of the world's largest communication market, which has long been coveted by Omi. What is the most lacking thing about WiMAX now? ? Several leaders can see here. "

Meng Qian helped them turn to the third page of the document and pointed to a form, "Money, billions of dollars are placed over there, and in the background, big companies such as Intel, IBM, and Motorola are placed over there. Power, the United States is there, what is missing in WiMAX now? What is missing is the market.

Because WiMAX was created by Intel, a non-traditional communication company, WiMAX has to face the long-term market monopoly of European traditional communication companies in the world. Although countries such as Neon Country and Malaysia have entered the game, they will not give up their original In China's 3G market, the development space left for WiMAX is actually not big at all. Not everyone can spend all their money to support WiMAX like Taiwan Province.

But even if the Taiwan Province supports it so much, it is only a small province, useless. Intel is eyeing our Chinese market. Although our frequency bands have also been allocated, our 3G development is slow, and the market has a large gap. TDD It is also synchronized with WiMAX, which is what Intel values. "

The leader kept nodding when he heard what Meng Qian said, "So?"

"So several leaders can take a look at this first. Dafeng Group's current patent ratio in LTE R\u0026D. There is one thing to say. In recent years, European communication companies have begun to pay attention to China. One reason is the performance of our Dafeng Group. Although 3GPP was initiated by Europe. Yes, but the development and formulation of this global standard is a global matter after all. Everyone can hide behind, but don't try to hide too much, so some things can still be seen through some data.

Dafeng Group may be quite lucky sometimes. In terms of communications, the 4G research and development direction we proposed a few years ago has almost been proved to be correct in recent years, which allows us to obtain patents for 4G patents. With a great opportunity, we have great confidence in the research and development of 4G, and we are fully prepared for the future of 4G.

Moreover, the internal chaos in Europe has been very chaotic in recent years, not only LTE, it can be said that many scientific research projects have stagnated to a certain extent.

But in order to deal with the United States, there is only one way for Europe to go now, which is to accelerate the development of LTE. Once the development of LTE is accelerated, the research and development results of Dafeng Group are waiting for them. "

"What if WiMAX is really implemented because of our support?"

"First of all, I still say the same thing, technology itself can't lie, I just don't believe that WiMAX can become the next generation of communication technology.

Secondly, a more secure model can also be adopted. Support is also divided into degrees. Sometimes even no objection is a kind of support. As far as our current development of LTE is concerned, the United States can also see it, so no matter from the country In terms of development or technical logic, we should all stand on the side of Europe.

So not objecting at this time is actually a kind of support, and if we can do something further, the effect will be even better. "

The leader began to understand Meng Qian's meaning, "You mean, on the surface, you support WiMAX in the United States, but you are actually promoting 4G research and development. TD-LET, combined with Dafeng Group's level of 4G research and development, through patents and the market, won the right to speak in 4G?"

Meng Qian nodded slightly, "That's almost what it means."

The leader smiled, "Are you planning to play with the world's largest country and the world's largest alliance?"

Meng Qian looked calm, "The United States restricts us every day, and the European Union cheats us if there is nothing to do. Then each has his own ability. Fight with a gentleman. You can be a gentleman, and you can fight with a villain. If you are a gentleman, you are stupid."

The leader did not respond to Meng Qian's words, but said seriously, "But there is a problem with the whole strategy, that is, we must bet that Dafeng Group's 4G level is not a problem, and that WiMAX in the United States is really not good, and both conditions must be met. have to meet.

If WiMAX develops smoothly, it means that we are making a wedding dress for the United States. If Dafeng Group's 4G research and development level is not good, then Europe will definitely trouble us when it gets the right to speak in 4G.

That is to say, the success of the whole strategy largely depends on the technical level and judgment level of Dafeng Group. "

"That's true." Meng Qian didn't deny it either. After all, there was nothing to deny. "So this is a plan from the Dafeng Group. The leaders of course have to listen to other people's opinions on how to do it."

The leaders were all silent, and Meng Qian didn't know what would happen next, but he had to say what he wanted to say.
