Special policies call out: PHS on the 3G era PK Taiwan

In the coming era of 3G, 3G and 4G are even super was put on the agenda of the time, some people say that PHS should be "abandoned" the outcast. But from the birth of PHS seems to be facing being "PK" destiny, like "Super Girls" of He Jie as good luck, PHS continue to stand to the "PK" table, but all the way to the top five.

Operators in the upstream seems to confirm this parable. Recently, China Telecom and China Netcom have announced that continue to increase their investment in PHS network, expansion and upgrading of the 12 provinces in the country, the contract amount of its expansion project is still as high as $167 million.

By the end of this year, PHS users will exceed one hundred million next year, the number of users is also expected to climb, known as the father of PHS, Xu Fuxin predicted.

When the China water conservancy and Hydropower Press a more than and 300 page "legend" after the advent of PHS, PHS fate seems to allow the industry more attention in the upcoming 3G era, PHS annual growth of tens of millions of users can write the legend?

Special policies?

PHS to meet the needs of low-end wireless business, to seize a good growth point." Chen Jinqiao, director of the Telecommunications Research Institute of Telecommunications Research Institute, said the current PHS in the telecommunications market needs to focus on the market and the evolution of technology issues.

Chen Jinqiao said, in addition to the evolution of the technology itself in advance, but also the need for a transformation, fixed line operators on the development direction of PHS business to be clear. "Now the fixed network operators are in the adjustment of strategy in power savings for entry into the 3G market stage a new future, but the future of China wireless communication will be one of the most complicated situation, 3G and 2G coexist, PHS network coexistence, blending various business growth."

Chen Jinqiao smiles, for example, consumers do not have to eat lunch, they are rational, will be the combination of voice and data service, so the future operators to provide multi-level, diversified services to consumers, which is the basis for the future existence and development of phs.

Chen Jinqiao said, from the policy level, not to PHS as mobile communication management strictly, it has been defined as the fixed wireless telephone extension, is a concept in the future after the 3G or 3G, there will be 2G, 3G and PHS will coexist, it will produce a large number of text messages, Internet payment settlement etc. the interconnection and integration, so the government may have to have relations with the PHS and other business specific policies.

Chen explained that the special policy including the current need to cause the fixed network operators to think of the problem, as well as on the PHS network and mobile network settlement (currently PHS non voice services, such as SMS and mobile operators is a two-way settlement, but the voice is not settled, leading mobile operators that is unfair) etc.. Of course, the PHS mobile business with variable problems with 3G are considered as a whole, there is a comprehensive decision, and not specifically for PHS access charges and other separate special policies, not because of PHS licence strict mobile communication."

The economic system and Management Research Institute of NDRC market and industry director Shi Wei said that at present, PHS also faces many technical aspects of the competition, such as the HUAWEI 450 trillion CDMA, Datang Xinwei SCDMA etc.. The original form PHS has a specific industry background, and today has entered a new round of competition, around the fixed extension service, PHS, well-informed will launch various competition, then the market will not be disorderly competition, but how enterprise restructuring more effectively in this field.

Coexistence with 3G fusion

Zhejiang Provincial Communications Association executive director, Professor, Zhejiang University of Electronic Science and technology "PHS" the father of the name of Xu Fuxin explicitly told reporters that the future will be PHS and 3G coexistence, conflict 3G high-end low-end users and users do not overlap the phs.

Xu Fuxin said, operators, manufacturers must be responsible for the existing 80 million users, PHS users most low layer users, limited income, if the network suddenly reversed, is irresponsible to users.

Xu Fuxin believes that operators and manufacturers confidence is the fundamental factor in the survival and development of phs. Operators and manufacturers to PHS as a transitional product is wrong, some local PHS do well, operators can use it as a transitional product, a small amount of investment, do neither fish nor fowl, the views of ordinary people is also great. Only the PHS network made boutique network, PHS life will be long.

For example, Xu Fuxin, Jiangsu, Fujian, Heilongjiang, Hubei provinces and many operators, the PHS network quality as the lifeline of PHS, highly responsible for the user, the quality of PHS is basically 2 generation mobile technology level. In the current downturn in the telecommunications industry, the growth rate of PHS in Jiangsu in 2005 was 29%, Heilongjiang has recently reached this growth rate.

Xu said that the PHS base station is relatively small, mobile phone power is smaller, so the coverage is poor, blind, PHS location is more difficult, the PHS development should strengthen the power in one disaster after another, within the allowable range of the base station technical specifications, research and use of new technologies, such as now uses AM technology adaptive encoding processing, to increase 6 to 7 times the transmitting power of base station.

In the future trend of fixed network and mobile integration, Xu Fuxin believes that the full use of PHS network and 3G network integration is
