Chapter 141 Communication Solutions

Sweeping the parts on the experimental table aside, Su Xin sat down and thought deeply.

"Do we still have to rely on ground base stations?"

"But in that case, my purpose will not be achieved at all, and there is no point in continuing research."

"If there is a disaster on the ground and the base station is damaged, people will still be unable to communicate with the outside world."

"It's not possible to give everyone a satellite phone."

Su Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Seeing that it was getting late, he got up, packed his belongings and left the company.

On the way home, Su Xin was still thinking about solutions, but when he reached the doorstep, he still had nothing to gain.

Open your door.

Just as I was about to change my shoes, a clear and sweet voice came from the house: "Welcome home!"

"Huh?"

Su Xin immediately paused and looked in the direction of the sound with confusion.

That was not Liu Xuewei's voice.

Nor anyone he knew well.

At this time, there was a pattering of footsteps, and Liu Xuewei came out from the direction of the sofa and said with a smile: "Axin, welcome home."

At this time, Su Xin also saw the source of the unfamiliar sound. It was a very delicate and lovely white smart speaker, and a burst of yellow gorgeous light slowly extinguished.

Seeing Su Xin's eyes, Liu Xuewei explained: "I just bought this today. Sometimes you can talk to me at home."

Su Xin put on his slippers, walked over and hugged Liu Xuewei, and asked casually: "Isn't there a Tiantian Assistant? Is there a program on the market that is more intelligent than the Tiantian Assistant?"

"That's different."

Liu Xuewei smiled and shook her head:

"Tiantian Assistant is the assistant in my mobile phone. Although it can sometimes chat with me, it has different functional positioning from the smart speaker."

"Smart speakers can be like our family members. They greet us when we come back. When strangers sneak in, they can call the police for me."

"In addition, it can also control various smart appliances in the home, which is equivalent to the master control switch of the smart home."

"For example, it can control the temperature of the refrigerator and air conditioner, control the start of the sweeping robot, and control the opening and closing of the curtains."

"Tiantian Assistant is positioned as a portable assistant, and smart speakers are positioned as housekeepers."

Su Xin became interested and asked, "How intelligent is it?"

Liu Xuewei smiled and said: "It is definitely not on the same level as Tiantian Assistant, but it is enough. After all, chatting is just a side function of the smart speaker."

"If Tiantian Assistant is used here, it will definitely crush these products. However, you said before that you don't like to be in the terminal industry, so no one has mentioned this opinion to you."

Hearing this, a certain thought suddenly flashed through Su Xin's mind, but when he was about to think deeply, the thought had quietly passed away.

Just when he felt regretful.

Liu Xuewei continued: "Moreover, the functions of smart speakers have many limitations. Even if we use Tiantian Assistant to enter the market and occupy the entire market, it will not be as popular as mobile phones. You may not like this kind of small business."

In an instant, Su Xin was shocked.

It was like lightning struck in my mind.

An idea emerged with crystal clear clarity.

"Publish it! Yes! I have a solution!"

Su Xin picked up Liu Xuewei and spun around several times excitedly, making Liu Xuewei scream again and again.

"Thank you, Xuewei!"

"I've thought of a way, I have to hurry up and write down the plan!"

After saying that, Su Xin put down Liu Xuewei, ran into the study in three steps and closed the door.

Liu Xuewei was left there, flushed and panting, with a confused look on her face.

In the study room.

Su Xin sat at the desk, pondered for a while, and then began to speak, using the voice input method of Tiantian Assistant to record a series of thoughts of his own.

With the epiphany just now, he already has a solution for the communication network.

It's very simple, that is to make base stations popular.

Although he still didn't get rid of the ground base stations, he also indirectly achieved his goal, making it impossible for earthquakes and other disasters to damage these base stations.

certainly.

The base station he was thinking of was not a macro base station like an iron tower or a street lamp outside, but a miniaturized small base station.

The function is basically the same as the well-known macro base station, but because of its small size, the coverage area is small and the number of users carried is low.

But it is more flexible and compact.

It can be easily distributed to various places to meet the needs of different places, such as in stations, airports, large shopping malls, etc.

At the same time, since it is wireless, it can be moved freely to any place you want, and you can even take it with you.

Equivalent to a portable WIFI.

Secondly, it costs less.

It does not require an area of ​​land, nor does it require a dedicated team to build it. Instead, it has a modular design, is mass-produced by a factory, and can be placed where needed.

Small base stations are products that give full play to the network spirit of "everyone for one, one for everyone". They can amplify each other's signals. Once popularized by all people, everyone's Internet speed will be greatly improved.

These are the advantages of small base stations.

In fact, with the gradual popularization of 5G networks in the past two years, higher and higher requirements have been placed on the number of base stations. Under such conditions, small base stations have already emerged.

Moreover, the small base station industry has developed relatively maturely. According to the power from large to small, it is subdivided into three levels: micro base station, pico base station, and femto base station, all of which have been put into use in large numbers.

only.

The reason why small base stations are not popular, and the reason why Su Xin did not think of small base stations before, is because small base stations also have obvious shortcomings——

It is just a branch of macro base station.

The small base stations currently on the market are equivalent to routers in home broadband networks, and are shared by everyone. They are only used to distribute broadband networks and cannot connect to the core network alone.

This property causes small base stations to completely depend on macro base stations for their existence.

Once the macro base station is damaged, the small base station will be of no use, just like the router is useless after the broadband network at home is disconnected.

Secondly.

Since small base stations are only used to distribute networks and are usually placed in fixed locations, what is the difference between them and routers?

For users, they have a broadband network and a router at home. They only need to connect to WIFI after returning home, and there is no need for a small base station at all.

And if you are outside, even if the small base station has the advantage of significantly enhancing the signal, not many people will choose to carry it with them.

Based on this shortcoming, small base stations have no meaning in the eyes of users, and naturally there is no possibility of popularization.

Even if several major operators are willing to distribute them for free, many people may dislike the waste of electricity and refuse due to reasons such as radiation.

It stands to reason that products such as small base stations with obvious advantages and disadvantages are not suitable for popularization, let alone as the main solution for communication networks. They can only be used as a supplement at most.

When Su Xin thought about small base stations before, he quickly gave up because of this.

However, just now, he suddenly thought of a way to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, integrating the strengths of various communication solutions, which can not only solve the problem of the number of base stations, but also allow small base stations to be unrestricted, and at the same time be accepted by users.

"As long as a few major technical problems are solved, the entire communication solution will be generally stable."

Su Xin looked at the dense text on his phone and couldn't help but smile.
