Reborn Tokyo Golden Age.

Chapter 457 Wool comes from sheep

Although the annual press conference of Shirakawa Electric is over, the discussion it left to the outside world has intensified.

Leaving aside the technical updates of other old products, the various black technologies on new products are simply dizzying.

The LCD technology is advancing with each passing day, the new screen display technology LED, and the revolutionary product mobile phone (portable phone).

Especially the latter, which is Neon's first self-developed mobile phone technology.

Two or three years ago, Motorola's big brother was born, and it has already brought communication technology into the first generation mobile communication system.

The so-called first-age mobile communication system is what we usually call the 1G era.

However, there is no such thing as a few Gs at present. This is what people in later generations reversed the historical development and added it later.

Moreover, the 1G era is the era of analog communication, which was the mainstream means of communication in the world before the mid-80s.

Because it is an analog signal, the mobile phone or mobile phone at this time can only be used to make calls, and nothing else can be done.

For example, the KITA-One mobile phone of Shirakawa Electric, which is also an analog signal, is also a kind of mobile phone.

Since it is an analog signal, it cannot be used to surf the Internet or send information.So what is the LCD screen on the Shirakawa Electric mobile phone used for?

In fact, it is not very useful, just to facilitate people to see the number they have dialed and to search the address book.

Because of the integrated memory chip inside, Baichuan Electric's mobile phone can store nearly 50 numbers.

This amount is enough for people nowadays. Of course, if you want more, you can also buy a high-end version. It is not a problem to save 200.

However, since the analog signal of the 1G era is used, which communication standard does Shirakawa Electric's mobile phone use?
Because of the frequency band obtained and the fact that United Communications has not yet developed its own communication format.

Therefore, the communication standard used by Shirakawa Electric's mobile phone is GSM format, yes, this is not the communication technology of Neon China.

The GSM standard originated in Ouzhou, and it has not been perfected yet.It was only this year that Ouzhou determined several key parameters of the GSM standard.

The reason why United Communications adopted this standard is because its own frequency band is very close to GSM, and its general technical framework has been determined.

So after NUCT (United Communications) expressed relevant intentions to Ouzhou, the latter immediately incorporated NUCT into its own system.

The reason why Ouzhou agreed to NUCT's request so readily is because they are also very aware of the competition related to standards. Of course, the more regions they use, the better.

You must know that GSM is not the only company that is developing 2G digital signal standards in the world at this time, and CDMA in the United States is also brewing.

So with the initiative of the Neon region, after signing the agreement with each other, Ouzhou generously provided all the technical information about GSM to NUCT.

So under internal modification, NUCT (United Communications) used GSM, which should be 2G technology, as a simplified version of 1G.

Data legends and so on are not used by mobile phones at all now. This is just a transitional technology.

NUCT's plan is to prepare for the official commercialization of GSM, which is probably in the early 90s, so that it can smoothly transition to the 2G era.

Moreover, as an international communication standard, there will be many countries that will use GSM in the future, such as China, Ouzhou, Australia and other regions next door.

As long as the countries that use the GSM format are the potential customer markets for Shirakawa Electric's mobile phones in the future.

Bai Chuanfeng is very ambitious. He is eyeing more than just the neon market. Going global is his ultimate goal.

If Lao Mi's CDMA 2G development is not delayed at this time, maybe NUCT will switch to CDMA.

Of course, NUCT will not be hanged on the GSM tree in the future.

It is still uncertain to invest in CDMA for a broader market in the future, and even NUCT is developing its own communication standards, such as PHS technology.

This kind of PHS technology, which shined brilliantly in later generations of China, was only popular in a short period of time.

However, as a low-end communication method, it can better subdivide and supplement the NUCT market.

After all, no one stipulates that an operator can only use one communication format, and Huaxia Yusanjia is almost compatible with three to four communication standards.

In short, after obtaining the GSM technology and making magic changes, NUCT began to build large-scale base stations in the main cities of Neon.

Knowing that GSM technology will be used until the end of the 2G era, NUCT is also willing to invest in Kyushu, Shikoku, Kanto, Kansai, Tohoku, and Hokkaido.

In the above-mentioned areas, NUCT has set up its own communication base stations in major cities.

Such large-scale infrastructure construction costs tens of billions of dollars.

But fortunately, because it is an infrastructure that benefits the people, the postal province also subsidizes about 40% of the total investment costs.

Yes, nearly half of NUCT's total investment in the communications industry is subsidized by the government.

In this era, the neon government has too much money to spend, and it has bought tens of billions of dollars in reserves just to cool down the yen.

Coupled with the trade surplus every year, the money saved has nowhere to spend except to buy U.S. bonds.

It just so happened that NUCT began to take the lead in the construction of large-scale wireless communication base stations, and Shirakawa Kaede took advantage of the relationship between the Meiji school.

The Ministry of Posts and Posts directly took out more than 400 billion yen in the face of NUCT.

Boy, I am optimistic about you, this kind of thing that benefits the country and the people must be done greatly!
In this regard, Bai Chuanfeng said, Post father, please insult me ​​again~
Of course, this is a joke. In short, in an era when the government is not short of money, NUCT has received various subsidies.

The fact that the government has money is one aspect, and the key role lies in the secret efforts of the Meiji Scholars in the government system.

Otherwise, relying on NUCT alone, it really doesn't have such a big face.

The maintenance of interests is intricate.

In a place that ordinary people can't see, Baichuan Holding Group has given the Meiji Group unimaginable feedback.

Only by cooperating with each other, having the same interests, and deeply binding each other, can this relationship be passed on for a long time.

With the opening of all links, NUCT finally completed the construction of base stations in most areas within one year.

As for the construction of base stations in remote areas or mountainous areas, it is always said that there are some losses, and these NUCTs are going to be completed slowly in the next few years.

It is precisely because the construction of base stations in densely populated areas has been completed that Bai Chuanfeng will directly broadcast live at the press conference.

There is nothing more convincing than seeing and hearing with your own eyes.

Sure enough, the press conference of Shirakawa Electric came to an end.

Several Neon media are rushing to report news about Shirakawa Electric's portable phone, and the scene of Shirakawa Kaede talking with Nakamori Akina at the press conference is even more widely circulated.

In the words of the media, Baichuan Electric - Neon Light!

In the field of mobile communications, it fills the gap in domestic terminals, even more powerful than the old NTT.

The shape, which is more than half smaller than that of Motorola, is undoubtedly more in line with the aesthetics of Neon people.

On the day just after the Shirakawa Electric Press Conference ended, the door of the NUCT business hall was crowded with people who came to try it out.

However, most of the first batch of buyers of KITA One mobile phones are businessmen. Because of their work, they naturally have a great demand for such things as mobile phones.

After a president, Sang, went through the online registration procedures in the NUCT store, he couldn't wait to call home.

After hearing his wife's clear answering voice on the other end of the phone, the president Sang immediately beamed with joy.

It was so convenient, and it was exactly as advertised.Anytime, anywhere, connect you and me~
With the publicity of this live signboard, the onlookers couldn't help it anymore.

They flocked to the counter and began to snap up the new mobile phones of Baichuan Electric.

The price of 43 yen is indeed very expensive.But most people can afford it, after all, a month's salary of a fresh graduate is enough.

Besides, this is a communication tool, and it will be fine for a few years in the future.

What's more important is that the commercials of Baichuan Electric and NUCT are well done, not to mention the repeated bombing of TV stations.

It was the ingenious scene at the press conference that made the media talk about it for a long time.

"United Communications, connect you and me!" This advertising slogan can be said by children now.

Tsk, people in the bathing era don't feel bad at all when they spend money.

Within two days, all the spot goods on the counters of NUCT stores were cleaned up.

As a last resort, Baichuan Electric could only expedite the replenishment to fill the vacancy in the market.

This kind of rush-buying scene has not appeared for Baichuan Electric for a long time.

Now Shirakawa Electric's portable mobile phone has become a status symbol.

Whoever has a Shirakawa Electric mobile phone strapped to his waist on the street will attract passers-by to take a second look.

The president Sang put the phone on the table, and the people negotiating at the same table also looked up.

The neon people in the golden age are swollen and proud inside, and they desperately need to be recognized by others.

Baichuan Electric's mobile phone, as a way to show its identity, quickly became popular among people.

As a first-generation mobile phone, there is no doubt that the price of 43 yen is actually on the high side.

If only the hardware cost is considered, a mobile phone does not exceed [-] yen.

The most valuable chips are just those few chips, and their prices will gradually decrease as the shipment volume increases.

But the reason why it is expensive is because it includes part of the NUCT package fee.

You need to buy a mobile phone to use it, so you have to pay for the phone bill.

However, if you buy a mobile phone from Shirakawa Electric, at least for the first few months, you don't have to worry about phone bills. This part of the cost is already included in the contract phone.

The wool comes from the sheep. In addition to these prepaid phone charges, the cost of NUCT base station construction must always be paid back.

Also, Shirakawa Electric must make a profit. Most of the 43 yen profit is divided between Shirakawa Electric and NUCT.

After the number of users accumulates more and more, and the production process becomes more mature, Baichuan Electric will start to lower the price of the next generation of mobile phones.

However, the various package fees for contract machines will also be ready.

It will make users look like mobile phones don't cost much, but within a few years, they can only be NUCT users honestly.

The so-called profit is just divided into many months and slowly recovered over a few years.In fact, I earned the same amount of money, even more.

Stimulated by Shirakawa Electric and NUCT, NTT, a veteran telecom player, soon launched its own portable phone a month or two later.
