#285 - 5G Mobile Communication Technology and High-Throughput Satellite
Therefore, if Gao Nian really establishes such a "Starlink Network" system with tens of thousands of satellites.
That would truly be a contribution to the present, a benefit for the future, with a profound impact, and the development of human civilization would advance even further.
Of course, the Geek Technology Company's meeting did not end there.
In the following time, after discussion and suggestions from everyone, the future development direction of Geek Technology Company became clearer and clearer.
First of all, the next research and development plan will be divided into two major parts. The first part will focus on electric vehicles.
That is to say, the next step is to develop an AI chip for the local end of the car, thereby reducing the computing power of the cloud and handing over the computing burden to the car itself.
In addition, it is also necessary to develop corresponding autonomous driving AI so that this autonomous driving AI can perfectly execute tasks without accidents.
As for the second part, it will focus on the external communication and positioning system of autonomous driving technology.
That is, by establishing a satellite positioning and communication network, to provide autonomous driving network communication and positioning services for ground vehicles, delivery drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, and unmanned ships.
Of course, relying solely on satellites is not enough in reality.
Because there are so many cars, delivery drones, unmanned ships, and unmanned aerial vehicles around the world that need Geek Technology Company's satellite communication and positioning network.
Relying solely on those tens of thousands of satellites will definitely not be able to serve too many devices, so the main force must rely on the ground-based 5G mobile communication network.
Ultimately, if there is a nearby 5G mobile communication network, the local 5G mobile communication network will be used first. If the vehicle drives out of the mobile area of the 5G mobile communication network, it will automatically and seamlessly switch to the satellite communication and positioning network, achieving perfect collaboration!
Therefore, the importance of Huawei Technology Company has also become very significant, and it can even be said to be indispensable.
After all, Huawei Technology Company officially started researching and developing the 5G mobile communication network as early as 2009, and in 2017, the 5G mobile communication network entered the verification stage.
Now it is already mid-2014, and their 5G mobile network research and development progress has reached more than halfway, and in another three years, it can enter the verification stage.
At this time, if Geek Technology Company can cooperate with them to jointly research and develop 5G mobile network communication technology,
Then a lot of time can be saved.
Relying on Geek Technology Company's strength, huge funds, and research and development talents, and finally cooperating with Huawei Technology Company's own research and development personnel, it is possible to advance the 5G mobile communication technology into the verification stage in the second half of 2015, two years ahead of schedule.
After all, Gao Nian, who has the Heavenly Dao Reward Diligence system, is the most suitable for the position of chief engineer.
Of course, it is uncertain whether Huawei Technology Company is willing to cooperate with Geek Technology Company and then share the benefits of 5G mobile communication technology with Geek Technology Company.
After all, they have invested a lot of money in researching and developing 5G mobile communication technology. Geek Technology Company suddenly wants to participate when my research and development is halfway through, and wants to share my scientific research results.
It is possible that the company president with a bad temper will scold Geek Technology Company on the spot, so it is also uncertain whether Huawei Technology Company is willing to let Geek Technology Company join the game.
However, regardless of whether they are willing or not, Geek Technology Company will not give up on 5G mobile communication technology. If they are unwilling, then Geek Technology Company can only start its own research and development.
However, in this case, because the research and development starts from scratch and needs to avoid other people's technical patents, the progress will naturally not be very fast. It would be great if they can enter the verification stage simultaneously with Huawei Technology in 2017.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
At this time, a super plan submitted by Geek Technology Company named Star Network has plunged a certain relevant department into fierce debate.
"I think this Star Network plan is not suitable for promotion at present, after all, the current satellite positioning and communication technology is not very mature.
Satellites are not mobile base stations. If you want to replace new equipment, you can replace new equipment. If you want to replace new satellites, you can only rely on rockets to launch them, which is very expensive.
Moreover, the current research and development progress of satellite positioning technology and communication technology is very fast. New technologies will be born and major breakthroughs will be made every two or three years.
The satellites we launch now will be seriously outdated in five or six years. Should these outdated satellites be kept or abandoned at that time?
This is tens of thousands of satellites. Replacing tens of thousands of satellites simultaneously is very expensive and very troublesome."
Hearing the words of the opponents, the people present couldn't help but nod slightly in agreement.
After all, satellite communication technology and satellite positioning technology do indeed have major breakthroughs every two or three years, and it is inevitable that the satellite will be eliminated after five or six years.
After all, according to the documents submitted by Geek Technology Company, the satellites that Geek Technology Company wants to launch are not ordinary satellites.
This satellite belongs to a high-throughput satellite. In addition to providing satellite positioning functions and 1-meter-level ground observation functions, it also has Internet functions.
That is to say, even if users go to places without mobile network signals, they can still access the Internet and make phone calls through satellites in the sky.
With these high-throughput satellites, even if an earthquake or other disaster occurs on the ground that causes the communication network to be interrupted, two-way communication can still be carried out.
According to this trend, the communication capacity of a single high-throughput satellite is estimated to break through 500Gbps or even 1Tbps in the future.
So now, if we support Geek Technology Company to establish such a Star Network, it will be eliminated in less than five or six years.
After all, the current communication capacity of high-throughput satellites is only a little over 100 Gbps, even if they work hard to increase the communication capacity to 200GbpS.
In five or six years, the communication capacity of high-throughput satellites will definitely have great progress. It is not surprising that high-throughput satellites with a communication capacity of 500Gbps or even 1Tbps will appear.
In this case, they will fall into hesitation.
Hesitating whether to recycle those outdated satellites and replace them with new high-throughput satellites with more functions and greater communication capacity.
Or just continue to use the old high-throughput satellites with only 200Gbps, this is a difficult choice.
Therefore, building a Star Network in advance now does not seem to be a very good choice, and the technology is not very mature.
