.Electronic Nine Astronomy Network, switch to AT&T’s adsl technology?”

Catherine looked at Badua opposite with a strange look. (Update the latest chapter of this book)

"Yes, some people are going crazy. They say you lied to them. This fiber optic plan can be completed with only half of the original funding..."

"Half?!" Catherine was surprised: "Impossible! We can't even recover the cost! This is impossible!"

Catherine shook her head.

"But unfortunately, that's the fact. AT&T has deep pockets and they have enough ways to make money."

Badua looked at Catherine with some regret.

Although from a Western perspective, Catherine can only be described as delicate, not stunningly beautiful, Catherine's face is indeed the kind of thing that makes people feel comfortable. There are very few oval faces in Europe and America, and Catherine stands out from the crowd.

And this is exactly what Badua likes.

So Badua felt a little sorry for Catherine.

Fiber optic networks are expensive, and Badua knows this.

The original federal government invested a total of 2 billion, wasn't it just for a sky all over the United States?

Badua also knew that Catherine was ambitious about Project Eden, and she had even planned an Internet broadband plan throughout the school district.

But at this moment, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway, and then cut him off, which is really regrettable.

There was nothing that could be done about it, because AT&T, which had shown great confidence from the beginning, directly used a super low price and directly eliminated fiber optics.

If Catherine still wants her fiber optic broadband to be selected, she will undoubtedly have to use a lower price - and it must be lower than the other party. If the price is the same, the other party who feels deceived will

I don't care about Catherine at all.

But in that case, Catherine would really lose money, and the loss would be huge.

"They are so willing..."

Catherine didn't know if she was talking about the other party's generosity or lamenting the Pentagon's ignorance.

"Furthermore, Mr. Walker from the Quality Supervision and Management Office has also expressed dissatisfaction with you. He also said that he may need to re-examine the previous plan..."

Catherine shook her head, AT&T's energy was so powerful, even Catherine couldn't hold on to such a large amount of energy.

But they seem to have made a mistake.

"I will give the Pentagon a satisfactory answer." Catherine simply told the other party.

"Thank you so much for coming over and giving me this news."

Catherine smiled at Badua.

After the other party left, Catherine chuckled and shook her head.

"Kate, what should we do? The person from the other side came over and messed up our plan?" Elsa looked at Catherine with "worry".

"Yes, yes, it's a mess~" Catherine rubbed her chin, and then said: "Send Ralph over, I have something to explain to him."

Elsa looked at Catherine with a "surprised" expression: "Aren't you going to explain to the Pentagon yourself?!"

"No, this little thing is not important at all."

But soon, another call came.

Elsa took the phone and was stunned for a moment.

She looked at Catherine with a very innocent look: "IBM said to us, they might have to consider the previous plan."

"There is always less stones in the undercuts than those who send charcoal in the snow ..." Catherine shook her head.

Originally, the negotiations between Catherine and IBM were already reached. Catherine authorized the mobile phone to produce to the other party, and IBM also provided their memory to Catherine at the lowest price. At the same time, the two parties cooperated to study a new type to study a new type

The most suitable memory equipment.

But at this section of bones, they met AT & T, who came to stirring the situation. At this time, Little Watson took the opportunity to raise prices.

"This is really ..." Catherine shook her head.

Such news cannot get it so quickly, but the other party is an IBM that helps NASA for space development. If there are some internal news, it is not impossible.

Almost, this has already explained everything.

"It seems that the fish is already a long gap ..." Catherine laughed.

"Will some unnecessary troubles?" Elsa felt, will there be a situation of playing?

If that's the case, it is worthless.

"Well, probably not ..."

Catherine is also a little worried.

"I will let Ralph make things clear."

Catherine leaned his lips, at & t, this time it was really pitted by you ...

"What should I do now?" Elsa asked.

"wait."

Catherine said a word, and then opened the TV with a remote control.

Now, just wait ...

Nympho

December 6, 1971, Monday.

Ralph, CEO of the US Telecom Corporation, is also the person in charge of the network problem of the English school district.

Eden plans to open the market without a strong response, but some problems must be determined first, because this is related to the process of the entire plan.

Walking on the corridor of the Pentagon, Ralph feels funny.

After hearing their plans, Ralph was ready to act, but Catherine stopped him.

Then, Catherine dug a large pit on the ground, specializing in the Mén pit.

Open the Mén of the conference room, and countless eyes in the conference room looked over. Some people still had a shameful expression on their faces. Obviously, they found that they were pitted.

But Ralph believes that after ten minutes, their attitude towards themselves will change completely.

"NV scholars, gentlemen, all the morning."

He walked over with a smile, and then put the documents he prepared in his hands aside.

"First of all, thank you for telling us about AT & T infringement."

He said politely.

But this sentence made the people present.

Infringement ...?

What is going on?

"The ADSL technology, two years ago, our US telecommunications company has registered, and the actual product research and development practice is before the fiber network."

Ralph gave his file jiāo to the staff next to it, and then let the other party distribute it.

"I come this time, I want to explain the practical Xing and convenience of the optical fiber network, but about this outdated ADSL technology, I think it is necessary to explain some slightly."

Ralph looked at the table. In addition to the information that had just been distributed, there were two other pieces of information placed here.

The content he just distributed was actually nothing, only a patent specification about adsl and a report on the defects of adsl.

Of course, AT&T's technology is also patented, but the names of their patents and Catherine's patents are different.

Because the patent registered by Catherine is xdsl.

XDSL is the general name for various types of DSL (digital-subscribe-line) - digital subscriber lines - including adsl, radsl, vdsl, sdsl, idsl and hdsl, etc.

In other words, whether AT&T launches adsl or vdsl, in short, as long as their patent is related to dsl, it is impossible to circumvent Catherine's patent.

Perhaps it was because Catherine's patent was hidden so deeply that AT&T didn't discover it.

DSL technology is of course very good, but AT&T is mainly researching asymmetric digital subscriber lines, that is, adsl. They are still researching other technologies. If they apply for a patent using xdsl two or three years later, maybe they will

Encountered a car crash.

However, the registration staff at the Patent Office seemed unprofessional and helped Catherine deceive the other party.

"This technology of ours has been around for many years, dating back to when we were developing fiber optic networks."

Seeing the surprised faces of these people, Ralph began to talk. At this time, these people were most likely to believe his words.

"Our Internet technology uses fiber optic networks, which is safe and fast, and so far, it has been spread all over the United States."

He said this.

"At the very beginning, what we developed was not a fiber optic network, but a network based on traditional copper wires, that is, adsl. However, after many internal discussions at that time, this unreliable plan

, we overturned it. adsl is completely unsuitable for long-distance communications. It is completely incapable of covering networks all over the United States, and long-distance transmission often causes various problems such as signal loss..."

At this time, there was a buzzing sound from below, but it soon stopped, and these people listened carefully to Ralph's words.

"Adsl has general requirements for line quality. When the line quality is not good, it will affect stability. When the transmission rate is higher, attenuation and crosstalk will have a greater impact on the signal, and sometimes network speed drops and disconnections will occur.

That’s why we rejected this plan and chose a more advanced fiber optic plan.”

Ralph closed his eyes and told lies. At that time, he did not work for Catherine at all and had no idea about the situation of Catherine's company.

He said this entirely because of Catherine's instructions.

There is no one who is the most cheating, only more cheating. They want to completely cheat each other...

If AT&T dares to poach Catherine, Catherine will ruin their reputation.

Then Ralph had the second report distributed.

"Simply put, adsl is a technology that provides broadband data transmission services to homes and offices through existing ordinary telephone lines. adsl is an asymmetric digital signal transmission that can be transmitted over existing copper twisted pairs, that is,

Ordinary telephone lines provide high-speed downstream speeds of approximately 1mb/s

rate, and the uplink rate is up to 256kb/s, but the transmission distance of adsl is only about 3 kilometers to 5 kilometers. Since adsl is very sensitive to distance and line conditions, as the distance increases and the line deteriorates, the rate will be affected

The greater the impact, the more unstable the network will be."

It is "B" (uppercase) is not "B" (lowercase), 8Mbit is 1MB.

But who knows these people?

This 1MB seems to be over, and this product has reached 12 times!

At this time, the people below have completely felt that they were deceived.

Of course, at this time they were still trying to convince themselves that they were not deceived.

But Ralph will not let them go so simple.

"From the perspective of technological development, ADSL is a good transition technology, and FTTX+LAN is a relatively complete technology that is worse than ADSL, and it is a real broadband technology." Ralph explained: "So we think Although ADSL technology is very good, it is better to develop fiber directly, which is also a reason for our abandonment of ADSL. "

FTTX -FIBER, X can be home, company, etc. This is the abbreviation of optical fiber access.

"ADSL is actually not completely useless .Adsl is suitable for scattered users, and FTTH+LAN is aimed at relatively concentrated user groups. For scattered users, we think it is also possible to install ADSL, but in the school district, we are the

The all -round Internet contact is a huge Internet system that maintains the entire school district, so the optical fiber network will be better. "

H is home, which means fiber -to -house.

The reason why it is so professional is because Ralph is used to flickering the Pentagon.

Now, more people have shaken. The cakes that AT & T painted them for them is very good, but in the face of a portion of the data, AT & T seems to really become a guy who can only draw cakes.

Although knowing that capitalists like to degrade the enemy's products and praise their products, Lalāo's reports given to these people's authority, there is no way to lie.

These reports explained in detail all the problems. All of these people have told these people -T & T are in the flicker!

"Moreover, due to the asymmetric digital technology of ADSL technology, the speed of speed is asymmetric, and the network speed is limited. LAN uses symmetrical digital broadband technology, has a wider frequency band, and the bandwidth can be changed, which can continuously increase the speed, and ADSL is due to the continuously increased speed.

The potential of bandwidth scalability has little potential, so ADSL cannot meet the needs of the market to access the market in the future. We plan to update the school's computer system for five years.

And our broadband is designed according to the 20 years of use. "

This sentence made officials from the Pentagon frown.

Indeed, on the surface, the cost is decreased, but the ADSL does not seem to be as durable as Catherine's products?

It's just installation, maybe the cost of ADSL is indeed very low, but on the other hand, the life of ADSL is definitely not as high as Catherine's fiber products, and it is not as durable as fiber.

The products are, at this time, even the Pentagon, I have to weigh it.

What if it is time, what should I do?

However, Ralph's set of combination punches was not over yet, he distributed the information he brought.

"This is our company's cost assessment for using adsl systems and fiber optic lan. Although they have an advantage in terms of lines, the total cost is still much higher than ours. The advantage of fiber optic broadband lies in networking such as hubs and Ethernet switches.

The cost of the equipment is low and users do not need to install adsl modems

. Fiber optic broadband is spread to everyone, which means less investment and cheaper cost. ADSL uses the telephone network and telephone exchange room, cannot be separated from fixed telephones, and is subject to geographical restrictions. These will cause the price of ADSL to rise.

In the end, the price of adsl... is more expensive than fiber optic."

At this time, Pentagon officials frowned even more.

"Building an adsl network itself does not require a high price. If there is telephone equipment, their cost will be even lower. But on the other hand, such equipment is definitely unsatisfactory because it is just

The initial installation fee for an adsl modem is already very high.”

It won't take a few years, and it seems to cost more, and these points are all reasons that AT&T can't refute even when it stands in front of Ralph.

This is indeed not something that can be simply rejected.

Finally, someone spoke up at this time: "But by using adsl, it proves that you can use the phone, right?"

Indeed, if the consumption of the phone itself is included, it does give people a feeling of low cost.

However, this is just a "feeling".

At this time, Ralph switched the slide projector to a picture, and then a picture appeared.

"This is a physical picture of an IP phone." He smiled and popularized new technology to these people.

"The so-called IP phone is a technology that uses optical fiber networks to make calls. Using IP phones, the cost will be greatly reduced - it can be said that apart from the cost, IP phones have no much cost."

These remarks made these people become interested again.

If you can save, save. Although the Pentagon has always spent money, they sometimes have a stingy side. If the sexes are the same, it would be better to compare prices...

Obviously, AT&T, which originally had all the advantages, seems to be in trouble all of a sudden.

"I think maybe you should have a debate with AT&T," someone said.

Someone said this.

"Unfortunately, I think this is unlikely." Ralph shook his head regretfully: "We have sent a lawyer's letter to AT&T. They have illegally infringed on our patents and brought great harm to the normal operations of our company.

It's inconvenient, so we have decided to take the other party to court."

Demand a stop to the infringement, an apology and compensation for losses.

These are all the same as the third child.

Catherine attaches great importance to patents. She would rather have all invalid patents than not apply for a patent.

Moreover, Catherine has written very detailed patents. If you want to circumvent Catherine's patent, it will definitely not be possible with a simple word game.

Most of Catherine's products are still within the patent protection period. At this time, AT&T wants to sue Catherine for infringement, but it is impossible.

Some things are just so ridiculous, but some things just happen.

That's it now.

If you want to use patents to exploit loopholes for Catherine, AT&T can't do it. Their patents are probably not even half as much as the information Catherine has given.

There are some people who want to die, but there is nothing that can be done to stop them, not to mention that Catherine has dug a hole all over the ground - at this time, it is very difficult not to be trapped.

The Pentagon finally fell silent.

At this time, everything seemed to be clear.

"In the school district, our network will first be put into the first school district. In the first school district, students will first learn how to use computers and use online surfing. And the first school district will be the only one of our schools that can cooperate with

For school districts that communicate with the outside world, this school district will use IP phones as a means of communication. In other school districts, if they want to communicate, they can only use public phones and community phones."

Because these people also have their own businesses, it is impossible for them to be isolated from the outside world.

Therefore, the first school district in the future should be a "secular" school district that needs to communicate with the outside world.

These people are all the children of capitalists and congressmen, so they should be given some preferential treatment, right?

By this time, everyone was silent.

Someone said: "Optical fiber is good. As for adsl, if it is also your company's product, I think new technology can be used, so use new technology."

Someone else said: "We will still have some discussions about adsl and broadband issues. As for AT&T... I think this should be your own business. We will not interfere with your affairs here."

So far, AT&T has been sentenced to death...

Optical fiber networks are not without their shortcomings. Optical fiber access, especially fiber-to-the-floor access, requires active equipment to convert optical signals into electrical signals for computer network cards. This equipment is an optical transceiver converter. In other words

, if the operator uses optical fiber to the building access method, then as long as the optical transceiver is powered off, the building will be disconnected. This is very different from ADSL access.

In addition, another major disadvantage is that the inside of the optical fiber is made of glass fiber, and there is a lot of protection on the outside, so it is not easy to be damaged. However, once it is damaged, the repair cannot be restored as quickly as the cable. For example, 128 is still in the laboratory.

Core optical cable, it will take a long time to fuse the optical cable, which will cause relatively large losses to users.

——Of course, Ralph will not tell the people at the Pentagon.
