Chapter five hundred and fifty third half step
What was drawn on this drawing? What made Andrew and Gary stand up regardless of their image?
The simple illustration content is also very simple. A large tower representing a macro base station transmits the signal to a distance, but the mountains or buildings block the transmission of the signal, and in the backscene or shadow, the signal becomes vague.
At this time, a satellite pot is set up on the top of the hill, and the signal from the macro base station is amplified and then radiated to the back slope. Or the same satellite pot is set up on the roof, and then the amplified signal is transmitted indoors.
This illustration is simple, and the meaning of the expression is also very simple and clear - but this repeater station technology was matured after 2004. The past repeater station technology, oh, can't be called over, because the repeater station in 1997 is still a new thing. The emerging repeater station technology is relatively rough, with large equipment size, low power, small coverage area, and unclear call quality...
The current repeater station is just a supplement to the base station networking situation, and is far less powerful than the future relay station as one of the three base stations.
Of course, Panxing's technology cannot surpass the times so easily. However, in the design of indoor repeater stations, a design that was matured in 2004 was introduced, which is the indoor gain antenna.
When mobile phones were just popular, there were blind spots in many places. For example, underground parking lots, elevators, alleys between two high-rise buildings, or even multiple signals of similar intensity interfere with each other on high-rise buildings, which can make people's mobile phones inexplicably unable to receive signals.
However, after entering the 21st century, people will gradually find that the original blind spots are becoming fewer and fewer. There are signals in the parking lot. The elevators are covered, let alone open-air alleys. As for the high-rise buildings, there is no possibility of signal interference.
What is the reason for this? Did the great China Mobile detect all the blind spots of signal and set up base stations for these blind spots? Of course it is impossible.
There are thousands of similar blind spots in the city. It is not difficult to cover all the things. However, the emergence of small things like indoor gain antennas has solved the big problem of indoor signal coverage.
An indoor gain antenna costs only a hundred yuan, but it can provide full coverage of blind spot-free signal broadcasting for one floor. Why can such an effect be achieved is the joint function of the indoor gain antenna and the repeater station that amplifies the macro base station signal.
In the past, things that had to be increased in the number and power of base stations and repeater stations were done. With this technology, you could just add a "cheap" gain antenna. The savings from this are already quite considerable.
The principle of indoor gain antenna is also very simple. In fact, it is just a layer of window paper. There is nothing magical after it is pierced. Andrew and Gary easily understood the idea here when they see the illustration. It is not difficult to make this thing. It’s just that everyone has not completed the full coverage of outdoor base stations for a long time, so they have not noticed it yet.
That's right, it's just such a simple thing. Fanxing Company is just taking one step first. And taking one step first, the advantage you gain is great enough.
The schematic diagram of another distributed base station is also very simple. The base station equipment originally placed together was split into two parts. One part is called r milk, and the other part is called bbu.
In Chinese, the meaning of these two English abbreviations is the remote radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit. Whether it is the macro base station or the micro base station, the composition structure is these two. However, the R-breast of the macro base station is a large iron tower, while the R-breast of the micro base station may be just a iron rod or a big tree.
For traditional base stations, the RF unit and the baseband processing unit are all made together. The baseband processing unit equipment of the base station has a cabinet. The larger one may need a separate property with air conditioning. Generally speaking, they are very close to the RF unit, or they are simply integrated.
What Gary said in the Netherlands, more than 20,000 micro-base stations are needed. This is the "relatively" small base station.
On the drawings of Panxing Company, the micro base station is divided into two parts. The "antenna" and "computer" are set separately on the diagram. The antenna can be on the top floor of the building, on the light pole next to the road. It can be anywhere it needs to appear. The computer is uniformly placed in the city center computer room, and countless lines are connected to the "antenna" from this computer room.
This setting seems to be a slight addition, and even reduces the equipment operation efficiency and increases the construction cost of engineering. After all, it is necessary to connect from the RF unit to the central computer room. How to connect? Isn’t there a need to lay a line? Isn’t this project expense an extra pure cost?
If this happened in China in 1997, it would be absolutely true. If China Mobile's bureaucrats wanted to promote such technology, they would probably be scolded.
But it was so attractive in the Netherlands in 1997!
It's nothing more, reducing the amount of property occupied by equipment! Originally, more than 20,000 base stations were needed, which means that the contractor had to negotiate more than 20,000 times, and communicated with these owners to rent or purchase their properties. The Dutch are not very noble, and they really think there are no nail households? At least half of the cost of the entire project is used.
But if you just stand a pole, what else can you negotiate? Andrew even smiled proudly, hehe, if anyone wants to make a fortune by blackmailing a large company, the worst thing is that our antennas can be moved away. As for the line laying, it is done by Chinese workers anyway, and the labor expenses are much cheaper than those of Dutch workers.
Putting a cabinet may require a place that can shelter from wind and rain and have power, but what are the harsh conditions for putting a antenna pole? It is just a place to stand for a personal place. Whether it is renting or purchasing, it will definitely be more than ten times cheaper.
Trees, street lights, air conditioners, water towers, windmills, solar water heaters, and even American cactus…
The disguise of those base stations in later generations is ridiculous, but if they all drag on a complex baseband processing unit, how can they fight wits and courage with the keen eyes of health-preserving parties!
That's right, these two technologies alone can definitely guarantee the entire project to be won at a price of 163 million. Andrew is even sure that if we calculate the difference in labor costs between China and the Netherlands, Panxing Company can even have a good profit margin.
Such a low-price network has a coverage area, stability rate and call quality, and will definitely not be worse than the other three operators, or even better.
"Okay, okay, these two technologies are really great!" Andrew was a little proud and even praised the party's plan during the defense.
But this is inevitable. As Zhou Shuo said, these two technologies can definitely be regarded as tailor-made for Telfort. In China, at least in 1997, there were no these two needs!
In the Netherlands, the cost of nearly one billion projects can be cut by half. Are these two technologies very complicated? Not very sophisticated? Not really. In fact, it is just one, which is more thought and a little further than other equipment manufacturers.
If you take half a step earlier, you will become a genius. If you think half a step longer, it will be enough to dominate the mall.
Zhou Shuo and Li Baogui looked at each other and smiled. Seeing that these two technologies really touched Telfort, they felt relieved.
On the other side, Bellaude frowned tightly and looked at Cto Gary. As the technical director of Ericsson Dutch, he has the most technical say.
"Gary, can these two technologies really reduce construction costs by half?" Bai Luode asked in a low voice.
"Half is hard to say, but one-third is always there. Including the cheapness of Chinese artificiality, Panxing Company's quotation is reasonable..."
Gary lowered her head, even grabbed her hair with her hands, and said painfully: "Oh my God, why didn't I expect such a simple technology? If this plan had been proposed, Telfort's network engineering would not have been delayed until now, giving the Chinese a chance!"
"Okay, Gary!" Bai Luode said sternly: "Please pay attention to the image. This is at the defense meeting! Let's talk about your affairs when you go back, let's talk about it, let alone we haven't lost yet!"
Bai Luode snorted coldly and said confidently: "The Chinese have done so much, but they are just standing on the same starting line as us. With these two technologies, they may have the opportunity to compete with us, but when did Ericsson be afraid of competition? I believe that our overall system advantages can definitely defeat them in the subsequent bid evaluation! Don't forget that with the KPN investment, Telfort may not necessarily choose the one with the lowest price!"
Facing the sudden rise of Panxing Company, Blaude was also a little nervous. But he is the president of Ericsson Netherlands, and he must stand up to maintain morale at this time. He will not fall to the battlefield and lose to the enemy. He will not admit his failure anyway. What he said is correct. If Panxing Company had not had so much lower quotation, there would be no chance of competition with Ericsson.
As for now, it has only increased from 1% to 30%, which is just a battle. In the face of Ericsson's strong technical strength, taking a little trick cannot change the general trend.
