    While Walker and Walker were wandering around Lok Ma Chau, Sainsbury, the new Motorola Asia-Pacific representative.  ©Æ©Æ¨n©Æ©Äw©zww.  The Cadillac that Giles was riding in was also driving into the industrial park.  Today is the day when Motorola and Taiyu Technology held a joint press conference, but there was no trace of joy on his face.  Because what is about to be announced at this press conference is not what Motorola intended.  "I had a phone call with the head office last night and asked them about the information Taiyu Technology gave us and the latest verification status." Giles leaned back on the leather seat, spread his hands beside him, and looked straight ahead.  He said expressionlessly.  Scott, the former representative in Hong Kong, turned sideways and asked with concern: "What's the result?" He made a serious mistake this time and has been dismissed and transferred back to the headquarters.  Once the handover with Giles is completed, he will return to the United States to accept a new appointment.  As you can imagine, the new position will definitely not be as easy as being the representative in Hong Kong.  For him, it is unclear whether he can stay at Motorola in the future, and it is too late to worry about it. How can he be in the mood to care about the company's new cooperation plan with Taiyu.  His expression was just a casual response out of respect for Giles.  "Although only a small part of the information was given, mainly the analog-to-digital conversion circuit part, according to the report submitted by the laboratory, it was confirmed that the other party's progress in digital mobile phones was indeed ahead of us, and the board of directors agreed to fully cooperate with the other party.  If necessary, we can transfer analog communication technology to the other party." Giles looked straight ahead and said sadly.  "This is really bad news." Scott showed sympathy and spread his hands.  This is indeed bad news.  Motorola is not particularly concerned about the loss of the arcade processor market.  The profit of only 200 million US dollars is far from breaking their bones.  Moreover, after several years of promotion, the application market of Motorola processors is no longer limited to the computer field, but is also widely used in civilian markets such as televisions and communications.  It¡¯s good to have it, but don¡¯t force it if you don¡¯t have it.  Taiyu doesn¡¯t need it, Apple Computer doesn¡¯t mind.  ¨T©Á©Ã¨b.©z.  What makes them furious is that Taiyu Technology has greedily extended its hands into Motorola's core areas and tried to get involved in the wireless communications market.  When they learned that Taiyu Technology proposed a new cooperation plan with Motorola in digital mobile communication technology, everyone from the top to the lower researchers were furious.  The communications field is the core capital that Motorola relies on to get started. After Taiyu Technology terminated its cooperation in arcades and slapped Motorola, it still had the nerve to reach out to this field in order to grab greater benefits.  Which one is intolerable?  You must know that in order to develop wireless communication technology, Motorola has invested heavily in the development of mobile communication equipment based on analog signals since the early 1970s.  And in 1973, the first handheld prototype dynatac was produced and successfully achieved the first long-distance communication with Bell Labs.  It¡¯s just that because semiconductor technology and battery technology were still very backward at the time, the prototype used a large number of discrete components, making the mobile phone too large.  And the whole machine weighs more than three pounds, a full 1.5 kilograms, which is heavier than a brick and is not practical.  On the other hand, to maintain a large enough communication network, it is necessary to invest in the construction of expensive signal base stations. The investment is huge and it is difficult to convince partners to invest.  For ten years, Motorola has been improving this prototype, using the latest semiconductor technology to integrate circuits, slim it down, and extend the phone¡¯s standby time.  Nowadays, the analog signal mobile phone is about to be completed. The cooperating American Telegraph and Telephone Company has also recognized this technology and decided to foot the bill. When it is about to be launched on the market, Taiyu Technology suddenly comes up with such a digital mobile phone. On the surface, it is well-intentioned. I hope  The two companies can continue to cooperate, but it is tantamount to digging into the roots of Motorola!  Motorola has never intended to share this market with any other company. It has had exclusive ideas from the beginning to the end.  But you came uninvited, suddenly jumped out and made a move, picked up the plate and wanted to take away a piece of the pie, and said I did it for your own good. I have seen bullies, but I have never seen such a bully!  Motorola is furious.  However, before Motorola executives showed their fury of thunder and used their power to launch a comprehensive attack on Taiyu Technology, the news from Bell Labs made them give up their thoughts: an analysis of some of the data transferred by Taiyu Technology proved that they  In terms of the research progress of digital mobile phones, we are indeed not lying. There are already mature solutions. (?.c¡²om According to the report submitted by Bell Labs, if Moore¡¯s Law still applies and semiconductor technology continues to develop, Taiyu Technology will be in two  Within three years, a product will be launchedComplete digital mobile communication equipment.  Not a mobile phone, but a complete mobile communication solution!  It includes the construction of three related hardware facilities: host room, base station, and mobile phone. It also includes a complete set of data transmission solutions and pricing solutions between operators, dealers, and users!  Its completeness is even more comprehensive than the plan prepared by Motorola!  In the forwarded letter, Taiyu Technology seemed to express in good faith that during their several-year cooperation with Motorola, the two parties had a good relationship with frequent high-level interactions. They believed that the other party was a good partner for cooperation, and therefore hoped to cooperate in the future.  We will continue to maintain a cooperative relationship on our digital mobile phone business.  At the end of the letter, the other party also mentioned that if Motorola is not interested in this cooperation, they will turn their attention to Europe and strive to make cooperation proposals with Ericsson of Sweden or Nokia of Finland.  Because the above two countries have a long period of experience in mobile communication operations, they can help digital mobile phones spread quickly in a relatively short period of time.  This obviously threatening supplementary statement made Motorola¡¯s senior management furious and forced them to seriously consider the other party¡¯s cooperation proposals.  They are unwilling to give up the development results that have lasted for ten years and invested huge amounts of money.  But if Taiyu Technology eventually turns to cooperate with Ericsson and Nokia to launch digital mobile phones first, the blow to Motorola will be even more fatal.  No matter which result, Motorola's ten years of R&D investment will be declared a complete failure. The only difference is which one will suffer less when it comes to recovering the losses in the end.  Since the rapid development of microprocessors and their wider application, Motorola has not considered developing digital mobile communications.  But after weighing many factors, we ultimately want to make a lot of money on analog mobile networks before digital technology matures, and then consider digital technology.  Speaking of which, whether it is analog or digital, there is not much difference at the receiving end. They all use traditional radio technology to receive and transmit radio waves.  The difference between the two is that the analog signal network directly decodes the received signal in the form of voice for communication.  ¡°Digital networks, on the other hand, use computer technology to convert received analog signals into digital signals, and then convert them into voice signals through decoding circuits to realize calls.  What the user says will also be converted into digital and then analog signals, which will be sent out by radio waves, relayed through the base station and host room, and then delivered to the listener.  This conversion between analog signals and digital signals seems to be unnecessary.  But in fact, the addition of such a procedure makes the communication quality, confidentiality, and user capacity of digital mobile phones far better than analog communication networks.  Traditional analog signals are easy to monitor, but if the digitally transcoded radio waves do not master the encoding method, even if the monitor hears it, it will only be a piece of clutter, and they will have no idea what the two parties said on the phone. The confidentiality is far better than analog.  network.  The biggest advantage is the huge difference in the number of users.  The communication bandwidth that can carry voice messages is much narrower than the communication bandwidth that carries digital signals.  And the voice signal transmission must maintain continuity. When a user talks, the channel is completely occupied and other users can no longer use it.  This is just like when a phone line is occupied, other users can only wait for the previous user to finish the call before making another call.  But digital communication is different.  Digital communication transmits digital signals. If you receive an error once, you can also ask the other party to send it again and decode it again.  This eliminates the need to maintain continuity in communication and can transmit signals intermittently, and because the radio waves are transmitted so quickly, users are not aware of it at all and think they are always online.  With this foundation, time-sharing technology will shine.  The so-called time sharing is originally a term in the computer field, which means that the processor processes different programs in parallel in time periods to achieve maximum efficiency.  After converting analog signals into digital signals, time-sharing technology comes in handy.  A section of radio wave can be cut into countless small segments.  Each small segment contains a user's communication data, which is transferred to the central computer room through the base station, and then to the receiver's base station. After being transmitted to the mobile phone, it is decoded and restored into a segment of voice signal, allowing the two parties to communicate.  In this way, the radio wave channel that could only carry one user can support more users talking at the same time, greatly improving efficiency.  According to some technical information handed over by Taiyu Technology, the digital mobile communication network technology they developed named "Personal Smartphone" can support eight users talking at the same time.  And capacity expansion is also very convenient. After the initial base station construction is completed, you only need to continue to add hardware as needed in the future, which is completely unnecessary.??It is necessary to redesign and replace new equipment, and the investment cost is greatly reduced.  What is even more exciting is that this wireless communication technology called "Little Smart" relies on a fixed network and adds wireless communication base stations at the end of the network for signal reception and transmission. It does not require laying a new optical fiber network and is a one-time investment.  Only about one-tenth of the analog network.  This is the biggest temptation for telegraph and telephone companies.  It is conceivable that once this technology is established, those wireless communication companies in the future will no longer be able to do without fixed-line networks and must rely on telegraph and telephone companies.  No matter how big the market becomes in the future, they are actually just vassals of the Telegraph and Telephone Company. The bigger the market, the stronger the company's monopoly.  This huge temptation made AT&T unable to resist, so much so that before Motorola had even figured out what to do, they already had the urge to bypass Motorola and contact Taiyu Technology directly.  Just like Atari, the gaming giant, is not good enough in front of Motorola, Motorola is inherently inferior to Telegraph and Telephone Company.  Seeing that the Telegraph and Telephone Company had the intention to abandon Motorola and join hands with Taiyu, facing the worst outcome of losing even their bottoms, the senior management could no longer bear it. Even if their hearts were bleeding, they had to accept Taiyu's conditions with grief and indignation.  , agree to jointly develop digital mobile phone technology with the other party.  Ten years of hard work and investment have turned into nothing.  Today¡¯s press conference is the moment when the dust finally settles.  Motorola was forced to admit it because of the situation. They had suffered such huge losses and the market they had originally monopolized would have to be shared with others in the future. For Taiyu Technology, which caused them to fall into the situation they are in today, it is already the biggest problem that they did not come face to face with them.  How can I be happy if I endure it?
