Chapter 344 Technical Qualification Review(1/2)
With the last online question answered, the joint interview between CATV and Phoenix TV with Hu Lai officially ended.
but.
Although the live interview is over, the last question answered - whether Phoenix Group will join the 3GPP Association and participate in the formulation of 5G protocol standards quickly aroused discussion among netizens.
It has to be said that the 5G technology promoted by Yanguo in recent years has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and netizens unanimously believe that domestic 5G technology leads the world.
This is indeed the case.
The 5G technology led by Huawei is indeed a technological leader in the world. The number of domestic 5G base station construction also ranks first in the world, reaching more than 1.4 million base stations!
but.
We must also admit that at present, we have not achieved the "absolute leader" status we imagined in the formulation of 5G standards, or in the international status of 5G.
Especially after Huawei and Qualcomm lost the battle in the past few years, our right to speak on the key core patents of 5G has gradually weakened.
Actually these are all good.
A more difficult problem is that after so many years of promotion, 5G is now in an embarrassing situation.
To put it bluntly, 5G, which has lost its novelty, has now become useless.
There are no application scenarios that require the use of 5G networks. Compared with 4G networks, there is no significant difference. Tariffs have increased. 5G base stations consume huge amounts of power and the signal coverage area is smaller than 4G...
It can be said that the current 5G does feel a bit inferior.
After Hu Lai answered the question about joining 3GPP, he suddenly gave many netizens strong expectations!
If Phoenix Group joins the 3GPP Association, with Phoenix's outstanding R&D capabilities, it will definitely gain a greater say in the association!
In this way, it is not impossible for us to squeeze out Qualcomm and regain the say in 5G technology!
and!
Once Phoenix Group joins the standard customization of 5G networks, will its unique R&D and innovation capabilities promote the real commercial implementation of 5G?
Netizens are aware of this problem, and Chief Li is also aware of this problem. At this moment, Hongguo, SpercX, Qualcomm and even Miller of the Federal Security Bureau who is responsible for the Phoenix Group on the other side of the ocean are also aware of this problem!
Once Phoenix joins 3GPP, it will greatly increase Yanguo's voice in the communications field, but for Ami, it will undoubtedly be a huge weakening!
It even means that the standard formulation of future 5G networks, 6G networks, and even mobile phone satellite communications will most likely be led by Yanguo companies!
This is absolutely unacceptable!
Cook, who was in the office, looked at the computer screen with a gloomy face, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.
He doesn't care about Phoenix's participation in the formulation of 5G network standards. That's what Qualcomm needs to worry about!
What he is really worried about is that the Phoenix Group now has the most powerful "mobile phone satellite communication technology" in the world!
If they join the 3GPP association, they will undoubtedly lead the standard customization of "mobile phone satellite communications".
You must know that 3GPP is a global organization, and the standards set by it are recognized by all countries in the world. Once the standard is determined, the "mobile phone satellite function" of Hongguo mobile phones in the future will have to use this standard!
What about Hongguo mobile phones in the future?
Will all the technology patents of Phoenix Mobile be used?!
Should Phoenix be given tens of billions of dollars in royalties a year?
Cook shook his head and dialed the number.
"Director Miller, this is Cook, have you followed the latest Phoenix Group interview?"
…
After a few phone calls, Cook appeared at the headquarters of the North American Radiocommunications Union in New York that afternoon.
Accompanying him were Qualcomm CEO Anmon, SpeakX President Mask, and Federal Security Agency's Miller.
Under the auspices of Smith, President of the "North American Radiocommunications Union" headquarters, a solemn meeting began immediately.
"There's nothing special to say. The only thing we can do now is to prevent Phoenix Group from joining 3GPP!"
From the beginning, Cook went straight to the point without any politeness.
Several people participating in the meeting have major interests involved. Qualcomm is the most obvious beneficiary of 5G. Once Phoenix joins, his current status will definitely be greatly shaken.
Not to mention SpeakX, the Starlink Project has always been Mask’s key commercial project, and now the Phoenix Group’s “Tongtian Project” has obviously posed a huge threat to Starlink!
"I agree with what Cook said, it is absolutely impossible for Phoenix to join in and gain dominance!"
“Once they join, let’s not talk about whether they will dominate the 5G technology standards in the future. Which of our companies can compete with them in terms of ‘mobile phone and satellite communication’ technology?”
"So, the only thing we can do now is to find ways to exclude the Phoenix Group and prevent them from joining 3GPP!"
The next person to express his opinion was Mask.
After speaking solemnly, his eyes fell on Smith, the president of the "North American Radio Communications Union" headquarters on the stage.
"President Smith, I need you to come forward and come up with a solution this time."
"Difficult!"
Smith shook his head.
Smith, who was sitting on the stage, was about fifty years old and had gained weight. A valuable suit was stretched out by his bulging belly.
"Mr. Cook, Mr. Mask, you are also very aware of the situation of the 3GPP organization, and the Yanguo Communications Association also has a certain influence in it."
"Coupled with the global influence of the Phoenix satellite network this time, it will be very difficult for us to prevent the Phoenix Group from joining 3GPP."
"I thought about it for a long time before you guys came. Now it's unrealistic for us to completely exclude them. The only thing we can do is to find ways to raise the threshold for them to join and delay their joining as much as possible!"
"However, this requires the help of the European Communications Union, who are the current chairman of the board of directors of the 3GPP Association."
Raise the threshold to join?
Cook, Mask and others began to think.
Like all associations, 3GPP also has its own organizational framework.
The original purpose of the establishment of the 3GPP Association was to unify communication standards around the world.
Therefore, 3GPP has successively invited the most influential countries and companies in the world to join. So far, seven communication organization alliances in six countries and more than 500 companies have joined.
Companies such as Huawei and Qualcomm are among them.
The main task for companies to join is in the direction of technology patents, but in normal times, someone has to be responsible for corporate admissions, academic exchanges, and daily affairs in the association, right?
Therefore, daily affairs are managed by several communications organization alliances.
The chairman of the board of directors responsible for the membership of member companies this time happens to be the "European Communications Union".
After everyone thought for a while, they agreed with the idea proposed by Smith. Delaying the Phoenix Group's participation was indeed an expedient measure at the moment.
Cook looked at Smith and said first:
"President Smith, what are you going to do next?"
Smith tapped the table gently:
"Patent, use patent excuse to hold back Phoenix Group."
"Anyone who can join the 3GPP Association is a company that has a certain influence in the industry. They are either mainstream communications companies in various countries, or they have many top patents in the communications field."
“The ‘Mobile Satellite Communication’ function recently announced by Phoenix Group is indeed shocking, but...”
"So far, they have only made unilateral announcements, and no products have been launched to the market. And most importantly, there is no relevant academic information in the academic world. Isn't this strange?"
"Shouldn't we question the authenticity and reliability of their technology? Shouldn't we let them publish relevant technical data?"
Having said this, Cook, Msak and others all reacted.
Although based on everyone’s understanding of the Phoenix Group, since Phoenix dares to proactively announce the launch time on the interview program, it must be 100% technically possible!
but.
Does this prevent them from using this as an excuse to delay Phoenix Group from joining 3GPP?
Don't get in the way!
This is like when everyone at the United Nations General Assembly knew that the Aramco representative was holding a bag of washing powder, but did it influence Aramco to take action against Iraq?
No impact.
not to mention.
Before the announcement of this "mobile phone satellite communication technology", Phoenix Group had no industry status in the field of communications.
Isn’t it normal to question your technical achievements?
After this back and forth, when the organization's experts verify Phoenix's patented technology, there will be another one and a half year inspection period, won't this time be delayed?
Thinking of this, everyone nodded involuntarily. This method was indeed a temporary solution.
Although it cannot completely prevent Phoenix Group from joining 3GPP, it at least gives Aramco sufficient buffer time.
As for what the future will be like, the future will tell!
At this moment, Smith's voice sounded again:
"However, this matter is also difficult to implement. If we want to question Phoenix Group's patented technology, we must first unite with the European Communications Union."
To be continued...
