Chapter 262 Free Standard Agreement



After the standard is developed, it must be applied for approval from the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and issued for use.

Xing Baohua achieved his goal by leveraging this large non-profit organization to implement the free standard.

He certainly can't do it on his own.

In addition to the charging port, Xing Baohua also needs to develop standardized protocols for audio, image, and video formats.

These things have already been basically planned out. Apart from him, no other company really has this kind of digital image and audio.

We all work with radios, why would we need that stuff?

This was done quickly before the Japanese and Philips arrived.

The Japanese have been researching images and videos for several years now. They also have mature patented solutions.

If we invite them to participate in the formulation of these standards, they will definitely each want to use their own methods. As for Xing Baohua wanting it for free, the Japanese side will not agree to it for free.

Taking advantage of the fact that the companies Xing Baohua invited weren't very knowledgeable, he made the decision happily.

They came only because they cared about Xing Baohua's business partnerships and immediate profits, completely unaware that Xing Baohua had already transferred profits elsewhere.

The second-generation digital operating system was undoubtedly given to Ericsson, who is already preparing for trial operation in Northern Europe. The mobile phones in the lab have also undergone signal connection tests.

When engineers are bored, they even use their cell phones to send text messages to a simulated pager.

Don't let the simple statement fool you; it actually involved a lot of equipment and technology.

Those who develop the operating system need multiple compatibility features. Apart from being compatible with the two-way pager system of rice, other pagers are not supported.

To put it bluntly, it still follows the same path as Xing Baohua's analog mobile phone to analog pager, except that the current difficulty lies in the compatibility and support of digital phones to analog phones.

The person from Ericsson was an old acquaintance, Reading.

After listening to Xing Baohua's ideas, they presented a complete design plan. After all, Ericsson had established signal conversion technology in Northern Europe earlier than Nokia.

There were plans and prototypes available. Although Ericsson's quote wasn't cheap, it was acceptable to Xing Baohua. The entire construction, operation, service, and billing system came to just over 500 million US dollars.

Xing Baohua plans to hand over the base stations and such to Nokia. They've come all this way, so we can't let them run around with us. We need to distribute the benefits evenly.

Why give the base stations to Nokia? The key is that they are indeed excellent at signal processing.

Xing Baohua recalled that when they went hiking together, none of the other no-name mobile phones had a stronger signal than Nokia.

While others have no signal at all, Nokia can still manage to find a single bar of signal and barely make a call.

This shows that they've put a lot of effort into the antenna amplification system. Both the transmitting and receiving ends have their unique features.

Everyone knows that to increase the signal strength, you need to amplify the power, which means increasing power consumption.

This is the biggest headache for Xing Baohua; he doesn't have the time or energy to design a separate power management chip. So he has to use other electronic components on the circuit board as a substitute or as a temporary solution.

It's the kind of thing that's done just to get by.

Nokia was happy to get some benefits and had absolutely no interest in the industry standards Xing Baohua mentioned. Since it had nothing to do with wireless, they could just agree to it later.

Not only did they agree, they also wanted to purchase several of Xing Baohua's technologies.

The conference was held at the Hilton in Hong Kong, where a few standard topics were discussed in a perfunctory manner.

In the future, if you make mobile phones, you must standardize the charging port and data port!

Image, audio, and video formats will need to be standardized for future digital device transmission.

I have no objection to that. Let Xing Baohua do whatever he wants. Anyway, it's a free format, so we can just use it when the time comes.

There are actually several formats available for electronic images and audio now, but most are used on computers. Mobile phone ringtones are currently all 8-bit single ringtones.

They're still hoping for synthesized sounds? They don't even consider whether the hardware can achieve that.

It's still a one-man show by Dami Technology, with them just playing along. Anyway, they've already secured all the projects they could get their hands on.

Then, when discussing GRRS wireless data transmission...

These companies have objections: Nokia, Ericsson, and Motorola all have their own technologies on paper.

If it weren't for the fact that these companies were arguing about using their own standards, Xing Baohua wouldn't have known that these big factories were hiding so much.

If they couldn't get through to them, they had to suspend the meeting. Xing Baohua needed to understand the wireless data solutions of these major manufacturers.

Alcatel was completely bewildered, having no idea what these companies were arguing about.

We'll have to wait a while to get detailed data, since we're here to do business and don't really care about industry technical standards.

During the meeting's pause, Xing Baohua communicated with several companies to get a better understanding of their current technological capabilities.

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is an abbreviation for General Packet Radio Service.

The development of these technologies by several companies can be traced back to an experiment conducted by Qualcomm in the 1980s.

Narrowband wireless data transmission from one base station to another was successfully achieved. This is the CDMA wireless system that was widely used in later generations.

However, Qualcomm holds the CDMA technology patents and charges high prices, so other major manufacturers have to find ways to circumvent them. As a result, Nokia and Ericsson developed the European GSM standard.

Inspired by Qualcomm, Nokia, Ericsson, and Motorola were all secretly developing their own technologies. Although they didn't have complete technologies at the time, they already had things on paper.
