Silicon Valley

Amid the applause of the crowd, Henry slowly stepped onto the stage.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the press conference on the CDMA network standard, my name is Henry Williams. I am honored to be here to host such a significant conference. After months of hard work, the CDMA network standard has finally been developed. Completed. As we all know, most of the major wireless communication technologies nowadays use TDMA, and even GSM in Europe uses TDMA. However, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) launched by Qualcomm, a subsidiary of Cisco, is more advanced in spread spectrum communication technology. Mature! TDMA needs 10 base stations to cover the area, and our CDMA only needs 2. I believe everyone can see who is better and who is worse at a glance!!!”

Henry paused, snapped his fingers at the staff, and then the computer projection screen behind him lit up, showing a map of the United States!

Henry pointed to the map and said: Look, everyone, the red dot marked above will be the pilot base station that we first opened, there are a total of 1,000 base stations, mainly distributed in major cities in the United States such as Washington, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and surrounding towns. At the same time, it will not take long before the mobile phone manufacturers that cooperate with us will launch corresponding CDMA mobile phones. If this pilot is successful, the United States will fully promote the CDMA network!!! By then, CDMA mobile phone users will not only enjoy more With clear sound quality, you can make unimpeded calls anytime, anywhere, without worrying about whether there is a signal, because CDMA technology is currently the technology with the widest communication coverage in the world!!!

clap clap clap! ! ! !

Applause suddenly sounded!

Henry smiled slightly, waiting for the reporter's question.

Washington Post: May I ask Mr. Williams, GSM communication network has become popular in Europe. It is said that the cost of building a GSM network is several times cheaper than CDMA. What do you think about this? Do you think GSM is better or CDMA is better? sharp?!

Henry replied: From a technical point of view, CDMA technology is far more powerful than GSM, and it has more development prospects! But from the perspective of construction cost, GSM does have an advantage. Therefore, at present, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. But I believe that GSM will be eliminated by CDMA sooner or later!!!

Los Angeles Times: Mr. Williams, what is the licensing method for Qualcomm's CDMA technology?

We use two licensing methods, one is to directly sell mobile phone chips, and the other is to license the technology and charge patent fees! Henry smiled and said, In order to be able to make Qualcomm's own chips, Qualcomm has even acquired ARM, a very good chip design company in the UK! I believe that there will be countless manufacturers who are more willing to buy our communication chips directly!”

The day after the press conference, the newspapers in the United States highly praised and supported the CDMA communication technology! And European newspapers are bad at it, strongly advocating the GSM network.

For a time, American newspapers and European newspapers fought a war of words! !

And the people love to read this, so the sales of the newspapers increased greatly. However, the people just watched the excitement, and it was difficult for them to appreciate and realize the impact behind this incident and how much impact it would have on the field of wireless communications!

Traditional wireless communication will be gradually replaced by GSM and CDMA!

The final battle is only between GSM and CDMA!

The competition between GSM and CDMA is actually a competition between Europe and the United States! ! !

The GSM standard belongs to the Europeans, and the CDMA standard belongs to the Americans. Whoever promotes the standard more widely will be able to share more benefits! ! !

Shortly after the press conference, Henry said to Qualcomm CEO Irving Jacob: As soon as possible, arrange to move ARM's headquarters to the United States, and set up an office in the United Kingdom! ARM's relocation to the United States can speed up Qualcomm The research and development of CDMA communication chips! In addition, ARM is cooperating with Apple, and it is more convenient to move here!”

Okay, I'll wait for the arrangement! Owen Jacob nodded.

After saying this, Henry left Qualcomm. Then I went to Silicon Valley Electronics Group Corporation. MP3 has been made. At first glance, it looks like a slightly larger matchbox. There is a square LCD screen in the center of the front. interface. The size of the MP3 flash memory is very pitiful, not even a megabyte, so I can barely put an MP3 music with a size of only 50kb into it.

Just such a MP3, it seems to be a product of random patchwork, but it is the work of everyone! Among them, the cost alone has been as high as 300 US dollars.

Such a product must not be launched on the market. But what Henry wants is not to be the first to launch the market, but to be the first to register a patent!

Encircle the ground, Henry needn't be in a hurry...

In addition, there is too little music in MP3 format. MP3 products have been developed. If there are no MP3 songs, how can there be any use?

Therefore, Henry asked Silicon Valley Electronics Group to improve MP3, while preparing to develop a music sharing website, which will include various MP3 formats on the Internet for users to download and listen to!

Subsequently, Henry created a new company called Tiantian Music Company, which established an MP3 music sharing website with the domain name www.MP3.com, and set up a 20-person R\u0026D team to start developing music website.

Henry, as a person with status, how would he be embarrassed if he played pirated copies? That's too much of a loss of face... So, Henry's original plan was to cooperate with major record companies around the world to obtain their record network copyrights.

And now some MP3 music has appeared on the Internet. However, these are free pirated copies made and uploaded by a group of music lovers. Their purpose is just to share music, but it has damaged major record companies. Interests. Just imagine, if everyone went to the Internet to listen to music, who would buy records? Therefore, the major record companies jointly boycott MP3 pirated music, but instead of banning pirated music, the development momentum is even stronger!

Major record companies hated online MP3 music to the core. Henry sent someone to discuss cooperation, and he was also specializing in MP3 music sharing websites.

All the people Henry sent came back in vain.

The initial battle failed, Henry summed up his experience and finally came to a conclusion: establishing an MP3 music sharing website is a long way to go! However, since the major record companies are unwilling to cooperate, it seems that they can only play pirated copies. This is what you forced...
