Rebirth of the Official Business Route

TI's digital mobile phone technology lags behind Nokia, Ericsson, Philips, Motorola and other overseas first-line mobile phone manufacturers. It goes without saying that this has something to do with TI's emphasis on and investment in this area, not their technical team. It is also second-rate. The success of the Aida i19 mobile phone, especially the breakthrough in the duplex sound track technology, fully proves the existence value of this technical team. It is a pity that most of the foreign engineers in this research team are not willing to travel across the sea for the time being. Come to work in China. Even so, the mobile communication laboratory still has 31 technical backbones at a time, all of whom are excellent, and there are also outstanding ones like Kang Zhiwei and Qiu Siyuan. Xi Chenghanzhang from ess gave me special praise in the letter The two of you have performed outstandingly since you joined ESS, Zhang Ke looked at the faces of the two 30-year-old youths sitting in front of him on the left, and Kang Zhiwei had fully attracted Aida in just half a year. He is an all-rounder in the field of digital mobile phone technology. Qiu Siyuan successfully realized Zhang Ke's conception of polyphonic music with the compound sound track technology. They did not receive special important tasks in Texas Instruments before, but they were slightly prominent among ordinary Chinese engineers. Of course, the original technical team was split into two parts, one part stayed in ess, and the other part returned to China to absorb more technical force and develop into a larger department, leaving more space for the two of them to develop, Zhang Ke said , The chief of ess recommended the two of you to be the chief engineer of the Oak Park Mobile Communication Laboratory. I hope to see you both have more outstanding performance in this position in the future. The chapter is updated the fastest

It is not without regret that the mobile communication laboratory has no chief scientist for the time being, and there is still a lack of a leader who can initiate the digital baseband microprocessor research project. Such a person is hard to come by, and there are only a few companies in the world that are engaged in the research and development of baseband chips. To maintain a good relationship with Texas Instruments. $ Can’t poach people from Texas Instruments yet. Not only can it not poach people from Texas Instruments, it can't even expose this layer of Kumho to Texas Instruments, at least it can't let Texas Instruments know until the baseband chip is successfully developed.

Zhang Ke also said: I often tell others. To disclose digital mobile phone technology is to raise dogs to eat rabbits. I don't know how much pressure this decision will put on everyone present. My consideration is very simple. If Kumho cannot finally Participating in the global competition sequence cannot be called success. If the practice of raising dogs to bite rabbits can make rabbits run faster, you might as well raise a few more dogs... Zhang Ke drank tea and glanced Too many people, look at these people. His gaze was even more eager than that of his first love, and he said, I'm a layman in technology research, but I'm not so ignorant. Tan Yunsong...Han Ge...Zhang Zhenheng...Wei Yuanzhen...Shu Qiang...Wang Weiliang...Liang Qingyang, the gaze eased Sweeping slowly, staying on everyone's face for a second, You have made a lot of achievements in the industry. I have heard of your names before I met you, and I can invite you first-class scientists to Jin It has always been a dream of mine to come to work in Hu. You gave me a report on the Kumho Future Technology Exhibition, and I read it word for word. After reading it many times, sitting, many exciting passages are floating in the air now. Mind. The era of digital technology has begun. We have to run despite how weak our foundation is. In addition to everyone here, there will continue to be excellent scientists and engineers joining in. We also hope that Kumho can cultivate first-class scientists, engineer……

The late autumn night in Xiangshan was quiet and silent, and those energetic people had already fallen asleep. In this elegant room near the lake, the floating lights are always on,

It is transmitted from the window, falls into the courtyard, and dissolves with the moonlight.

Kumho will fully disclose the digital mobile phone technology obtained from Texas Instruments. It is a dream to maintain a comprehensive technological lead. Kumho must seize the major trends in the future and concentrate on developing its core technology. As long as we maintain our leading edge in core technology. Then you can stand at the top of the pyramid.

Sleepless all night, everyone has their own opinions on the future development of digital technology. To seek common ground while reserving differences, we must first determine the major research direction and concentrate our technical strength to overcome it.

What to watch at the Dealer Conference? People with real vision will not praise Kumho's brilliance at this time, the real brilliance is yet to come. Gathering everyone to Haizhou and the Holiday Inn at the northern foot of Xiangshan Mountain is to set a general direction for Kumho's future technology exhibition.

Zhang Ke is not an outsider. Digital technology in the field of consumer electronics must eventually be applied to electronic products to be considered successful. Who knows better than him the development trend of consumer electronics in the next ten years?

The trajectory of history has changed. The popularity of an electronic product has its inevitable historical trend, but also has a lot of chance, and there are also factors of mutual entanglement among giants in the electronics industry.

Of course, those who have a keen vision of the consumer electronics market will not be much worse than Zhang Ke in their understanding of the future development trend of consumer electronics.

Zhang Ke is not from a technical background. He has accumulated knowledge of integrated circuits and engineering materials. He just said that he has just reached the popular science level. However, when he invited top talents like Tan Yunsong to join Kumho, Zhang Ke insisted on having a long talk with him before making a final decision. down. After such top talents join, they will lead Kumho's technology development direction to a certain extent. Zhang Ke must first make sure that his technology development ideas are in line with historical trends. This is a must-have quality for a leader. He must first lead in the right direction. Kumho wants to surpass Samsung and Sony, and there are not many resources to waste, so we must grasp the correct direction of technological development from the beginning.

It is easy to propose an electronic product concept, and it is also easy to create a beautiful industrial design, but it is not so easy to finally form a flawless product.

It has been two years since Zhang Ke proposed the concept of mp3. Kumho has concentrated almost half of its technical strength to overcome related technical problems, and it is only now reluctantly agreed. For overseas electronics giants such as Samsung or Sony, it may only take three to five months to launch a relatively perfect product after the product concept is proposed.

This is the gap.

What Kumho lacks is not a new product concept, but the technical force and technical foundation to realize the product concept, which includes all technical forces including Oak Park, ess laboratory, major product design centers, and application technology research centers , including a sound electronics industry production system.

After staying up all night, Zhang Ke talked with everyone all night long.

Power management, LCD screen display, radio frequency technology, wireless technology, testing technology, etc. are some specific core technology branches that the current digital mobile phone technology needs to develop. However, if Kumho wants to become a real leader in the mobile phone industry, it must even be able to provide To provide a mobile phone development design platform, mobile phone manufacturers must at least be able to provide one of digital baseband microprocessors or application microprocessors.

At this time, the function of the mobile phone is single, and the technology of applying the microprocessor is relatively simple. The current mainframe even adopts a single digital baseband microprocessor to structure, and there is no special application microprocessor.

With more and more value-added application functions such as multimedia integrated in mobile phones, the technical integration of this application microprocessor will exceed that of digital baseband chips.

For Kumho, developing digital mobile phones using microprocessors is a development direction that is relatively easy to get started, and after getting started, more and more technical resources need to be concentrated. Of course, at this time, it is only relatively easy to develop baseband chips, and it is not so easy to actually do it. Kumho still has a blank technology in this area, and the technology of digital mobile phones taken over from Texas Instruments does not include microprocessor technology. . Zhang Ke wanted to get a share of the baseband chip. At this time, there was no reason not to make this application microprocessor. Especially seeing that Hange had rich experience in the application of microprocessors, he was asked to lead a The team does this professionally.

Zhang Ke believes that after seven or eight years, especially after the emergence of smart phones, the importance of this application microprocessor will surpass that of the baseband chip.

Zhang Ting made an additional request, that is, to ask the members of Oak Park to enter the field of embedded systems.

It is still early for digital mobile phones to enter the era of intelligence. The electronic dictionary developed by Aida Education Electronics Co., Ltd. is only a PDA, a low-end product of a handheld computer, which does not need an embedded operating system.

It is precisely because of the low end that Kumho can enter the field of embedded systems calmly and freely, and develop its own kernel-based operating system from easy to difficult.

In 1997, there were very few technicians in China who knew about this system, let alone relevant development experience. When selecting researchers in Southeast Asia, Zhang Ke deliberately asked him to pay attention to technical talents in this area. Wei Yuanzhen's qualifications are slightly inferior to those of Tan Yunsong, Han Ge, etc., but he has rich experience in embedded system development and team leadership. Of course, Zhang Ke hired him as the chief engineer without hesitation. to preside over this work.
