The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

"Actually, satellite short messages are not a new technology."

"As early as the second generation of Beidou, the state has vigorously promoted this technology, and even provided additional subsidies of several hundred million yuan to install Beidou terminals on more than 1 fishing boats in coastal provinces free of charge to realize the satellite short-message alarm function. "

"The follow-up installation is also a direct subsidy of [-]%, fishermen only need to pay a symbolic [-]% of the money."

Oh?
Hu Lai raised his eyebrows, quickly thinking about what Li Xiang said in his mind.

After a while, he hesitated and asked:

"Li Xiang, what do you mean..."

"Actually, the function of 'satellite short message' is very mature. It is a function of the Beidou satellite. It is not a new technology?"

Li Xiang nodded heavily.

"I don't know if you have read the comments on the Internet. If you have, you must have noticed the 'Beidou Box', 'Sea Chat' and other satellite equipment mentioned by many netizens."

"In fact, these devices have already realized the short message function, including the Beidou terminal installed on fishing boats by the country I just mentioned, which can also easily send and receive short messages through satellites."

"but……"

Li Xiang paused for a moment and sighed with emotion:
"However... I have to admit that Huawei is indeed the first in the world to apply this function to consumer mobile phones."

After a brief introduction, Hu Lai roughly understood what the short message function on the mata 50 is like.

However, although he understood the situation of the short message function, at this moment, more doubts emerged in his heart.

"Li Xiang, according to what you said, the Beidou short message function was promoted in the second generation of Beidou. Why did it not start to be applied to mobile phones until the third generation of Beidou?"

"The technical difficulty, is it difficult?"

Seeing that Hu Lai was very interested, Li Xiang quickly explained.

"Boss Hu, it's like this..."

"In fact, the first generation of Beidou has a short message module, but the short message function of the first generation of Beidou is not mature, and it is mainly used in the military field."

"It wasn't until the performance of the second generation of Beidou became more mature that it was gradually released for use in the maritime and industrial fields."

Hu Lai understood it as soon as he heard it.

The development of commercial satellites in Yanguo only picked up after 2017. Prior to this, all satellite businesses in Yanguo were basically led by the state.

Such a situation will inevitably lead to the fact that Beidou satellites must prioritize military and scientific research tasks, and then people's livelihood, industry, etc. will be involved.

Li Xiang went on to say:

"Now that the Beidou series satellites have reached the third generation, the higher-ups also hope that the Beidou series will be used more civilians and generate more commercial value."

"So, in the past two years, the 'Ordnance Group', which operates Beidou satellites, has worked with mobile operators to develop short-message Soc chips that can be used on mobile phones."

"Just a month ago, they successfully developed the Soc chip for short-message mobile phones. We didn't expect the mata 50 to be used so soon!"

It turned out to be like this, Hu Lai suddenly realized.

According to Li Xiang, before the short message function could not be applied to mobile phones, one reason is that Beidou satellite itself has limited resources and is mainly used in military and industrial fields.

The second is that chip technology has not yet been resolved.

But now, under the background of Beidou series satellites promoting civilian commercialization, it happens that the entire mobile phone industry has been stuck in a technical bottleneck in recent years and has not made a breakthrough.

The two hit it off and worked together to overcome the short message Soc chip technology!
It has to be said that the birth of the short message function has indeed attracted a lot of attention. The first-day sales of mata 50 prove that this direction is indeed good.

Hu Lai secretly felt that Huawei had found the right direction this time.

The short message function of mata 50 is really attractive. The mobile phone does not need a SIM card, and it can be used only when the mobile phone is charged, which is really convenient.

While feeling emotional, Li Xiang beside him also heard a voice of emotion.

"Although the short-message Soc chip on the mata 50 was provided by the Weapon Group, it is true that Huawei can solve the problems of chip baseband, mobile phone volume and antenna radio frequency in such a short period of time, and successfully promote it to the market for commercial use. Very powerful!"

"It really shouldn't be underestimated."

Hu Lai was noncommittal, smiling and filling Li Xiang with tea.

"You have done a good job, don't belittle yourself."

After saying this, he suddenly thought of the very heated comments he had seen on the Internet before, and simply asked.

"By the way, I saw some netizens on the Internet saying that the short message of mata 50 can only be sent, but cannot be received. It is a semi-disabled technology. What is the situation?"

Li Xiang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and waved his hands again and again.

"Mr. Hu, many netizens have never used it before, listening to the wind is rain..."

"It is true that mata 50's short message cannot receive text messages, but it will receive a satellite receipt after sending a text message. If the message is sent successfully, there will be a message prompting 'sent successfully', which is the same as sending text messages many years ago."

Harmful!
Hu Lai also laughed.

At first, when he saw netizens saying that the short message could not be received on the Internet, he thought it was sent and there was no news. He didn't even know whether it was successful, but there was a message receipt.

I have to say that many netizens are indeed too rhythmic.

Seeing that Hu Lai also laughed, Li Xiang finally relaxed a lot, and continued:

"Many navies use this to criticize Huawei's short message technology as a semi-defective product, but according to my understanding, I think it should not be a technical problem, but a problem of resource bandwidth and security!"

"Resource bandwidth? Security?"

"Well, terminals such as fishing boats, Beidou boxes, and Haichat have already realized the normal sending and receiving of short messages, but after all, they are used by a small number of people. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of devices are online at the same time on weekdays!"

"However, once the sending and receiving function is fully released on the mobile phone, it means that the closed loop of chatting between mobile phones can be realized. If tens of millions of devices access Beidou satellites at the same time, it is difficult to say whether it will affect the normal use of Beidou satellites, or even affect the normal use of Beidou satellites. It would trigger satellite security."

As soon as Li Xiang said, Hu Lai immediately understood.

After all, the Beidou satellite has undertaken many important national defense tasks, and the opening of any function must be the premise of ensuring the absolute safety of satellite operations.

Perhaps in the future, the Beidou short message function will be gradually released by mobile phone manufacturers, but at present, mata 50 has just tested the water, and no one is sure what the situation is.

Before he could speak, Li Xiang changed the subject and continued:

"Mr. Hu, this is actually the reason why our R&D direction is somewhat different from Huawei's."

"After all, the Beidou satellite is only a positioning satellite, and its carrying capacity for short messages and communication data is limited after all."

"In the long run, whether it is a mobile phone, tablet, or other vehicle-mounted device terminal that wants to achieve high-speed satellite data transmission, it still needs to focus on dedicated communication satellites."

"For example, the high-orbit satellites used by traditional satellite phones, and the very popular 'Starlink Satellite' low-orbit communication satellites, their communication capabilities are more professional, and the data transmission and bandwidth resources are obviously better!"

"So, this is why I said just now that we only need three months to implement the short message function, but it takes two to three years to implement voice transmission and navigation and positioning!"

"Because this is no longer a single mobile phone problem, but requires the cooperation of professional communication satellites and mobile phones!"

Having said that, Hu Lai has thoroughly figured out the short message function and the relationship between mobile phones and satellite communications.

Do you think that the short message of mata 50 to promote the direct connection between mobile phone and satellite is a trick?That's not enough.

After all, mata 50 can indeed communicate with Beidou satellite to send text messages.

However, the Beidou satellite is only a positioning satellite after all, and the upper limit in the communication field is basically the transmission of text. If you want to realize voice transmission, you must face the problem of small communication bandwidth.

In other words, Beidou satellites have little potential for future development for mobile phone communications.

The Phoenix mobile phone project team has aimed at professional communication satellites from the beginning, hoping to use professional communication satellites to realize "short message" functions, voice functions, and even telephone functions and Internet access functions in the future.

From a business point of view, Huawei's approach is obviously the most sensible, to quickly implement practical applications and use the short message function to launch mobile phones to seize the market.

But from a technical point of view, Hu Lai also agrees with the choice of the Phoenix mobile phone project team.

After all, anyone can see that once the direct communication between mobile phones and satellites becomes the mainstream in the future, it must be the world of professional communication satellites.

After thinking for a while, Hu Lai also had a plan in mind.

He looked at Li Xiang and said:

"Li Xiang, I agree with your research and development ideas. The focus should still be on professional communication satellites."

"However, now that the short message function has attracted much attention after the release of mata 50, it is estimated that all mobile phone manufacturers will carry it on their flagship phones."

"According to what you said, try to solve the short message within 3 months, and try to release it on the 'Super 2' series of mobile phones to be released next year, no problem?"

"As for the realization of voice transmission and satellite positioning functions of mobile phones and satellites, you should also work hard. If you need the group to launch communication satellites to support your research and development experiments, you can bring it up. We will definitely meet it."

Li Xiang was overjoyed, stood up excitedly and kept saying that there was no problem.

When Li Xiang left the office excitedly, Hu Lai couldn't help smiling.

He could fully understand the pressure of Li Xiang coming to explain in person. Luo Yonghao and Lao Luo had always been the leaders in the mobile phone department. After Lao Luo left, the pressure was all on Li Xiang.

And this time after mata 50 came out, discussions on the Internet also caused Phoenix mobile phones to be questioned by fans and netizens. It is true that the more popular it is, the easier it is to attract black people. Now the Phoenix Group will be pulled out for comparison.

After a few words of exclamation, Hu Lai didn't delay any longer, and directly entered the domestic light system to search for communication satellites.

In fact, this is the second time he entered the system to learn about technologies related to low-orbit satellites.

When Chen Hai first proposed that the Phoenix Group would engage in something similar to the "Starlink Project", he entered the system once to see it.

but.

After a comprehensive consideration last time, in the end it was because there are already a large number of ground base stations in the country, and there is no commercial basis for the operation of "Starlink satellites".

Yes, shelved because of commercialization issues!

Today, after Li Xiang chatted from the perspective of mobile phone and communication satellite communication, Hu Lai's thinking changed a little.

Although according to what Li Xiang said, mobile phones and communication satellites still need a large number of communication satellites to achieve data transmission, and they will also encounter the problem of commercialization last time.

However, the success of Huawei mata 50 through short messages made him suddenly see another profit model!
That is, although I invest in launching a large number of communication satellites, I will definitely lose money. In the country of Yan, there will never be people who don’t use WeChat and phone calls, and go to chat and pay by using satellite short messages.

but!

Once the Phoenix mobile phone realizes such functions, such as the ability to send text, voice, and navigation and positioning through satellites, the brand awareness of the Phoenix mobile phone will usher in a huge explosion!

If the satellite phone communication is realized, the Phoenix mobile phone will reach an unprecedented height!
Hongguo Mobile, Huawei, Rice, OPPO, etc., will directly face the blow of dimensionality reduction!

Think about it, who can say no to a mobile phone that can make satellite calls without a network? !
In other words, the launch of communication satellites is definitely a loss, but the sales of Phoenix mobile phones will definitely increase significantly!
After the idea was clear, Hu Lai carefully checked the information of several professional communication satellites in the system, but he was not in a hurry to buy. After all, the satellite industry is relatively high-end for him, and this time the satellite needs to be assisted by the mobile phone.

After spending more than an hour understanding, Hu Lai finally had a clue in his mind, and then he exited the system and prepared to go to the satellite department.

His idea is very simple. Since Li Xiang and the others can solve the short message function within three months, he will focus on the satellite communication function that Li Xiang believes will take 2-3 years to realize, which can realize voice transmission, navigation and positioning. !
……

Time passed quickly, and when the short message function of mata 50 was launched in Yanguo, the news of mata 50 also spread to the Internet.

Foreign social media Twitter and Facebook have attracted the attention and heated discussions of many foreign netizens, and the "satellite direct connection technology" has become very popular in North America and Europe!
And on the second day after mata 50 released the short message, Google, the father of Android, could not stand up to the Internet public opinion at first.

The vice president of Google urgently posted on Twitter that the next Android version will support direct connection of mobile phones to satellites.

As soon as the news came out, Google's follow-up made mobile phone manufacturers and satellite service providers all over the world attach great importance to it, and "satellite direct connection technology" was pushed to the forefront for the first time.

The quick response of overseas netizens and overseas companies made Hu Lai's thoughts more firm.

It is true that global disasters have occurred frequently in recent years. Earthquakes, tsunamis and even geopolitical conflicts have made ordinary people have a strong demand for satellite communication services.

And when he was actively involved, the chief CEO of SpaceX, Mask, suddenly accepted an interview with the media and broke a breaking news.

"SpaceX has reached a cooperation with 'a well-known mobile phone company in the world' and is about to use 'Starlink satellites' to provide it with 'satellite direct connection service'!"

"In addition, it is expected that in the fall of next year, the existing 'mobile phone satellite direct connection technology' will be greatly improved, and mobile phones can realize voice data transmission between consumers and precise navigation and positioning transmission through satellites!"

As soon as the news came out, the whole network was shocked!Satellite direct connection technology has been pushed to the hotspot again!

Good guy.

The famous satellite network service provider SpaceX has personally ended? !
Moreover, voice data transmission will be able to be realized next year? !

This... is too strong, right? !

And who is the world-renowned mobile phone company that cooperates with SpaceX?
