It was originally invented by CSRO, an Australian government research institution, in the 1990s, and successfully applied for a wireless network technology patent in the United States in 1996.
Its inventor is a research team composed of engineering graduates from the University of Sydney, led by Dr. John O'Sullivan from the Department of Engineering at the University of Sydney.
This technology is defined by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and it requested the Australian government to give up the patent and allow the world to use WiFi technology for free, but was rejected by the Australian government.
The Australian government subsequently collected patent royalties from almost all electrical and telecommunications companies in the world by winning lawsuits or settling out-of-court settlements in the United States.
This alone makes the Australian government a lot of money.
Because it is related to national security, China has proposed its own standard from the beginning when it comes to wireless network construction, which is Wapi.
But Chinese standards have been greatly obstructed internationally.
Obviously, Western countries do not want China to have the power to set standards in an important field.
To this end, the two sides conducted an offensive and defensive battle that lasted for several years.
Without Xiao Qian's presence and intervention, this contest would have continued until 2009, when WAPI was recognized and became the second wireless network technology standard in the world.
But isn't Xiao Qian here?
Xiao Qian had already started thinking about wireless network technology when he was working with BOE to develop OLED and seeking to enter the high-tech electronics field.
There was nothing he could do about wifi, and it was difficult to get involved. But in the technical field at that time, there was still a loophole, and not many people noticed it.
That is wlan.
At Xiao Qian's prompt, Huawei teamed up with Starlight Technology to quickly form a research and development team, participated in the formulation of WLAN standards, and ultimately made a huge contribution to the shaping and application of WLAN.
Although WLAN is also a Western technology, the meaning is completely different whether you are involved in it or not.
If you don’t participate, how can you have a say?
These are the rules of the biggest game in the world.
Just like India, Germany, and Brazil have been seeking to become permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
Not to mention that the five major countries do not want anyone to share their power, but what outstanding contributions did these countries make during World War II?
Germany was even a defeated country.
Wanting to enjoy power without contribution is not such a beautiful thing in this world.
Everything is different now.
With the participation of China in the formulation of wlan, China has a place in the field of wireless network technology. With the patents in hand, it suddenly has considerable initiative in negotiations with the United States.
In fact, whether it is WiFi or WLAN, at this period, the technology is not very mature, and the scope of application is also very limited.
Who can be more influential in this field, in addition to who is the standard setter, who is the first to complete popularization application is also a crucial factor.
After all, whoever popularizes related technologies first will own the market.
Now, Huawei P1 is ahead of Apple's first-generation phones and has become a pioneer in the field of touch-screen smartphones, and the results are quite ideal.
Within a few days of the release of p1, Huawei has built wireless technology network platforms in many places around the world for consumers to use.
Huawei's self-developed wireless and wired dual-use router quickly conquered a large number of consumers with its affordable price, easy-to-use experience and good signal transmission effect.
Although mobile phones were not yet sold, routers suddenly became a best-selling product, with demand exceeding supply.
Under such circumstances, it has become an established fact that WAPI has become the wireless network technology standard.
This situation has made Europe and the United States very angry, and there are endless attacks.
But unfortunately, the public opinion environment in this world is different.
Facebook and Bilibili are in the hands of TX. Whoever controls the public opinion platform will control the direction of public opinion.
After several confrontations on the Internet, European and American countries did not get any benefits. At the same time, they were suddenly awakened and felt the crisis.
Xiao Qian knew with just his toes that someone must be holding back the water. It won't be long before Facebook and Bilibili will be under tremendous pressure.
Under such circumstances, he quickly issued strict orders to relevant personnel of tx.
In the coming period, it is strictly prohibited to travel abroad, especially business trips to allies of the United States.
Even he himself is staying in the country. It depends on what the United States can do to me?
Of course, the game must be back-and-forth, and it can never be a one-sided defense.
In order to gain the initiative, Xiao Qian also unleashed his ultimate moves one after another.
The first is to sow discord.
Although Europe and the United States have always been called Europe and the United States, in fact, the interests of Europe and the United States are not completely consistent.
Germany and France, in particular, hope to get rid of the suppression of the United States and achieve their former glory.
Xiao Qian began to take advantage of his access to public opinion channels to hype up the competition between Alstom and General Electric. Countless analytical articles spread across the Internet and made judgments on the future outcomes of the two large companies.
It doesn’t matter whether it happened or not, the content of the analysis was so serious that France was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Alstom is definitely an important presence in the French industrial field and the crown jewel of French industry. Now that there is an early warning, France will certainly not fail to take preventive measures.
Not only that, France's attitude has also become subtle on some things. Especially in the formulation of international standards for wireless network technology, France has rarely chosen to support WAPI.
Then came the big event that shocked the world.
The United States’ use of Internet backdoor technology to monitor the world was exposed.
As soon as the incident broke out, the whole world was in an uproar.
In particular, the communication equipment of leaders of many countries cannot escape surveillance, which makes many people shudder.
During the critical period of negotiations between China and the United States on wireless technology network technical standards, the revelation of such a thing will undoubtedly put the United States into a comprehensive passive position.
Immediately afterwards, Germany, Russia, India, Argentina and many other countries announced their support for China's WAPI standard.
If the IEEE does not recognize the WAPI standard, then these countries will not recognize the IEEE. In other words, many countries are planning to start over.
Faced with unprecedented pressure, ieee could not resist and had to choose to compromise.
As a result, three years earlier than before, WAPI became an internationally recognized wireless network technology standard.
This breakthrough has given China's electronic technology field a shot in the arm, and the mood of the entire industry has changed.
As for how the surveillance incident was exposed, someone innocently said that he knew nothing.
It is worth mentioning that this incident was exposed in 2013, the same year that the WiFi patent expired.
I don't know if there is any deep connection behind it.
In short, after WAPI was determined to be the industry standard, Xiao Qian immediately issued an order to his own industry. He called on his employees to switch to domestic mobile phones as much as possible if they could.
As for middle and high-level employees, it is mandatory to replace Huawei mobile phones.
Looking at the tx side, Xiao Ma and others had to get a Huawei, Xiao Qian couldn't stop laughing.
Nanshan Pizza Hut and Longgang Pizza Hut, how to calculate the outcome?
The whole world was in turmoil and undercurrents were surging. Xiao Qian did everything he had to do, and the rest had nothing to do with him.
After two years, the film masterpiece he personally directed, "Cold Crossing on the Dadu Bridge" as a tribute to the 80th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army, finally ushered in its premiere.
While the outside world is looking forward to this movie with great anticipation, the reviews they have given are also very interesting.
That is willfulness.
Where is the willfulness?
When other movies are finished shooting and undergoing post-production, the busy promotion phase will basically begin.
Roadshows, promotional meetings, programs, etc., etc. I am afraid there are still people who don’t know that the movie is about to be released, so come and buy tickets to see it.
When we arrived at "Cold Crossing Iron Cables at Dadu Bridge", except for a few announcements issued by Starlight, there was no publicity whatsoever.
It seems that neither Starlight nor Xiao Qian care about the box office performance of this movie at all.
Some media once interviewed Weng Zhian about this and wanted to know the reason from the Starlight boss.
But I didn't expect that Mr. Weng was very domineering and only said one sentence.
"Does Xiao Qian's movie still need promotion?"
As soon as the interview came out, the outside world was in an uproar. But after the sensation, everyone tasted it and discovered that what Weng Zhian said was really right.
"Hanging Iron Cables at Dadu Bridge" was not widely publicized, but everyone who should know it already knew it.
And during random interviews on the road, I asked anyone if they would go see this movie, and the answer they got was that they would definitely go see it.
Why?
Xiao Qian's movies are worth watching.
Countless colleagues shed tears of envy when they saw this situation.
