Chapter 336 The Manufacturers Crying to the Ministry of Industry(1/2)
A few days after Hongguo mobile phone launched the "short message" function, its popularity once again swept the entire network.
No one could have thought that a Hongguo 14, which has been on the market for four or five months, would trigger a rush to buy again because of a brand new feature.
For a time, anchors from major live broadcast platforms also began to compare Red Fruit 14 and Mata 50.
"Family, I am Xiao Li, the mobile phone reviewer. The phone I have in my hand is the Hongguo 14, which has been very popular recently. You can see that it now supports Hongguo's latest 'satellite short message' function."
"We all know that the short message function of Huawei Mata 50 can only send messages, but not receive messages. So let's try the effect of red fruit."
"Hey, it's really good. There's no problem with sending the message. The message will be sent successfully soon!"
"Okay, let's try to receive the news next..."
After more than ten seconds.
"It's true that I've received it! Everyone sees that my current phone is in a state without a SIM card, and there's no phone card, let alone the network signal!"
“…”
"I have to say that according to the results of our tests, Hongguo's 'short message' function is indeed better, and the SOS alarm system is also more complete."
...
In addition to professional evaluation of anchors, anchors on B and Douyin have also begun to recommend "short message" mobile phones based on recent events!
Recently, something that touched the entire network happened on Yanguo’s Internet.
When an earthquake came, an employee of a hydropower station resolutely stayed at the hydropower station to pull the floodgate and discharge the flood in order to prevent the river from flooding the dam and in the face of the earthquake, he finally successfully protected the safety of the downstream village!
But this hero was in the center of the earthquake and his communication facilities were damaged, and the mountains in the depths were unable to contact the outside world!
You should know that although rescuers started searching for rescue after receiving the dangerous situation, there were constant aftershocks in the earthquake-stricken area, roads were damaged, and the trapped place was in the mountains.
In the vast mountains, it is so difficult to find someone with severe aftershocks!
So after two weeks of search and rescue, all the search and rescue personnel were desperate.
But at this moment, a miracle happened.
After 17 days of missing contact, the hero was discovered by a villager who went up the mountain to look for him. Later, he found out that the hero was leaning over on the mountain with a height of hundreds of degrees of myopia!
Although the hero's body was very weak and he had a fever and infection when he discovered it, it has to be said that this is a miracle of survival!
When netizens who saw the news were relieved and were happy for the young hero, many netizens suddenly remembered the hot satellite "short message" function on the Internet recently!
If this hero had a mobile phone that could implement the "short message" function at that time, would he still be out of touch?
Will you still encounter such a dangerous brink of life and death?
Won't!
Once a short message is sent, it will have its own latitude and longitude coordinates.
Even if there are aftershocks in the center of the earthquake, with the help of high-precision maps, a rescue team will soon rescue people!
In other words, even if the road is damaged and rescue personnel cannot reach it for a while, as long as there are precise coordinate points, the drone can airdrop necessary food and medicines!
Soon, netizens on major platforms became more popular about discussing buying Red Fruit 14.
"Those trolls who say that ordinary people don't need this function come and see. Isn't this hero of the hydropower station an ordinary person?"
"I guess he, like everyone in front of the keyboard, never thought that he would encounter an earthquake, nor would he lose contact for more than ten days because of the earthquake. Think about it, do you have the ability to live in the mountain for more than ten days and not starve to death?"
"The brother upstairs said right. If you don't worry about ten thousand, just be afraid of something like this, I will definitely choose to have satellite functions next year."
"Yes, that's right, there's no need to spend extra money to open the service anyway, just buy yourself a high-end mobile phone and enjoy it!"
"If I want to say that the country should introduce policies to make the functions of mobile phones and satellites the standard configuration of mobile phones. After all, this is the last emergency life-saving device!"
"Hey, you really want me to be moved. Which brands now have satellite connection function? Are there any Huawei, Hongguo, and Dami mobile phones? Where are Phoenix mobile phones?"
"Don't mention Phoenix phones. The mata 50 short message function has been released for more than a month. Phoenix phones didn't say anything. They said that they were under development and there was no follow-up."
"It's strange. Hasn't Phoenix Group always been famous for creating news based on technology? Why is the 'short message' technology so slow this time..."
"What a ghost know..."
...
On the other side.
Although Mata 50 ignited the first fire of "short message" technology this time, Huawei was also considered a gain of fame and fortune.
But at this time they were flawlessly immersed in the joy of mata 50's success. After Hongguo and SpaecX revealed that they would launch "satellite voice" next year, it disrupted Huawei's overall plan.
To put it bluntly, because the sudden addition of SpeacX has allowed Hongguo to surpass Huawei in the technical level and lead the "satellite direct connection technology". What Huawei should consider next is how to deal with it!
At nine o'clock in the evening, Shencheng City, Huawei Building.
A small conference room on the fifteenth floor is still brightly lit.
More than a dozen senior Huawei executives and core technical personnel sat together, frowning and looking solemn.
"Mr. Yu, we have contacted all domestic commercial satellite companies over the past month, and it's a pity..."
"So far, no commercial satellite company has been able to come up with a low-orbit communication satellite solution that meets our requirements. We have to make a decision on this matter quickly."
Yu Dazui, the president of Huawei's mobile phone business who presided over the meeting, was speaking at Lao Wang, the technical director of Huawei's communications department.
More than a month ago, after Hongguo announced a high-profile collaboration with SpaecX, Huawei quickly launched a plan to cooperate with domestic commercial satellite companies.
But more than a month has passed, and the solutions given by major domestic satellite companies have not met the requirements that Huawei wants.
Yu Dazui and Mr. Yu also frowned. After Hongguo and SpaecX strongly promoted the launch of "satellite voice", direct connection to satellite technology for mobile phones has become a new trend for future smartphones. No matter what, Huawei will never give up easily.
However, it seems that the situation of domestic commercial satellites is much more difficult than he thought.
He asked in a deep voice:
“What are the main problems facing now?”
“There are several problems.”
"The first problem is that it is difficult to meet the standards in satellite technical performance."
"Whether it is Changguang Satellite or Tianyi Research Institute, their research and development direction has always been remote sensing satellites. Communication satellites have basically no technical reserves. The only one with technical reserves is the Satellite Communications Company of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group."
Yu Da's lips pursed and didn't say anything.
The development of domestic commercial satellites itself is very late, and it is definitely relatively behind foreign countries in technology.
In addition, there are sufficient base stations in China, complete infrastructure, and commercial satellite communication companies have no market in China, so it is not surprising that the entire industry has not developed.
"Aerospace Technology Group, Satellite Communications, I've recorded it."
“What about the second question?”
"We don't have SpaecX's starlink satellite like Hongguo, so if we want to implement the 'satellite voice' function, we have to launch a large number of satellites first."
"We estimated that it would take at least 200 communication satellites to be launched in the country, which is a huge investment."
It is known that near-Earth satellites need a large number of communication satellites to cover Yu Dazui. Money is not a big problem for Huawei, but the boss needs to decide this matter himself.
He skipped the matter and asked:
“Is there any more?”
"The last one is the 3Gpp 5G standard communication protocol, which is really the most difficult to deal with."
Yu Dazui leaned forward and asked in confusion:
"Now it's a mobile phone and satellite connection, how can I contact the 5G communication standard?"
Seeing this, Lao Wang explained.
"According to the existing domestic commercial satellite technology, there is no way to achieve direct communication between mobile phones and low-Earth orbit satellites, so our idea is to use 5G technology."
"But now the 3gpp 5G standard communication protocol that integrates 5G technology and satellites has not been determined yet. You know, 3gpp 5G is customized by Amei and Europe..."
"If our satellite 5G communication protocol does not meet the standards, it will be very troublesome..."
Lao Wang from the Technical Department sighed and shook his head and said:
"So, Mr. Yu."
"Combining the actual situation above three points, I think we can't realize the 'satellite voice' function next year, which is an impossible task!"
"Not to mention putting it into commercial use, I estimate that it will take at least one year for satellite design, production, and testing technology verification!"
Yu Daxiu's face turned completely dark. He really didn't expect that there would be so many difficulties in building a low-Earth orbit communication satellite.
As for the three points Lao Wang said, except for the second point that requires a lot of money, both the first and third points are difficult to quickly solve.
But if it cannot be solved in the short term, then you can really watch Hongguo mobile phones exclusively occupy this "satellite voice" function. Then Hongguo 15 cannot be killed madly after it is launched?
Why!
Where is there any other way?
Yu Dazui sighed slightly, it was not Hua Wei who lost, but Yan Guo's commercial satellite industry that failed to Amei.
No matter how strong Huawei is, it is impossible for him to reach the height of SpaecX's "Starlink Satellite" within one year, right!
While sighing, Yu Dazui suddenly thought of the Phoenix phone in his mind, and a feeling of mutual appreciation suddenly surged in his heart.
