Who is the father of PHS and what is the history of PHS?

The "father of PHS" is Xu Fuxin. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has officially stated that all wireless access systems in the 1900- 1920MHz band should complete frequency clearing and network withdrawal before the end of 201/to ensure that there will be no harmful interference to the TD-SCDMA system. This means that PHS business, which has been fighting for more than ten years, will withdraw from the historical stage in the next three years to make way for 3G, the new favorite of communication. Memorabilia ● 1998 0 1, PHS officially opened in Yuhang District, Zhejiang Province. ● In March 2003, PHS issued a number in Huairou, Beijing. By the end of August 2006, the number of PHS users in China reached 93 million, and PHS reached its peak. ● In June 2007, according to the data of the Ministry of Information Industry, the number of PHS users decreased by 2.5 million. ● In February, 2009, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a document requesting PHS to quit the network completely before the end of 20 1 1. 1998, PHS was officially opened in China, and entered the mobile communication market with the mission of China Telecom and China Unicom. In 2006, PHS users exceeded 1 100 million. Now that the 3G license has been issued, the telecom tariff has dropped, CDMA is environmentally friendly, and TD needs spectrum. PHS users also fell below 70 million. Since 12, only China Telecom and China Unicom have invested nearly 1000 billion yuan in PHS. With such a large investment and social resources, PHS, which has been in a "non-mainstream" position, still cannot escape the fate of being abandoned. It was born in China's "special national conditions", and completed its historical mission in the complicated interest game of the communication monopoly giants, and finally withdrew from the historical stage. Perhaps, as a media manager said, "Don't give up, don't give up, it is not established in this field". As soon as the news that China Yin Cheng PHS was delisted within three years came out, Professor Xu Fuxin's PHS rang for two days in a row. After a series of interview calls, he was already a little tired: "The objection is invalid. Should it be delisted? We will see it next year. Time will prove everything. " "I am very happy that PHS has withdrawn from the market." Bearded Wu Ying tried to be free and easy. The above two people are the key figures in creating the "PHS myth". Xu Fuxin is known as "the father of PHS", and it is he who developed PHS. Wu Ying, one of the founders of UT Starcom, was once almost synonymous with PHS. 12 years ago, when PHS blossomed everywhere in China, it was not a novelty invented by China people, but its core technology came from Japan. In order to save the poor fixed telephone service, Japan tried a wireless local loop technology called PHS, but it did not achieve much success in the Japanese market. 1996 One day, Xu Fuxin came across this technology in a magazine. At that time, Xu Fuxin was the general manager of Zhejiang Digital Mobile Company and concurrently the director of Yuhang Telecommunications Bureau. PHS gave Xu Fuxin a new idea: grafting PHS to the fixed network, using the existing network of China Telecom, and connecting the wireless technology of PHS to the front end, it became a small mobile phone built on the fixed network. This "small mobile phone" is the later "PHS". With the support of UT Starcom and Wu Ying, Xu Fuxin 1996 10 started a small-scale experiment in Yuhang at the end of 10. Zhejiang Yuhang District 1998 0 1 officially opened PHS, marking the official entry of PHS into the China market. During the rush hour in China 14, 1 uses one-way charge, and the monthly rental fee is 20 yuan, with a charge of 20 cents per minute. With these parity advantages, PHS quickly attacked the city in the market. After the success of Yuhang experiment, Zhaoqing opened PHS, with more than 50 thousand numbers in just one month; On the opening day of Kunming, installed capacity 1000 units; Before the official opening of PHS in Xi 'an, there were more than 60,000 enthusiastic users, and more than 4,000 numbers were placed on the opening day. However, the issue of PHS's birthright has always been controversial. At that time, after China Telecom divested its mobile business to the new operator China Mobile, its application for mobile license was never approved. Unable to give up the cake in the mobile communication market, China Telecom started the policy of "scratching the ball" and turned to PHS, a fixed network extension technology. Due to the pressure brought to other mobile operators, PHS has been attacked, with backward technology and poor signal ... There are many reasons for various attacks. In the controversy, the state gradually liberalized PHS. On June 5438+ 10, 2000, the former Ministry of Information Industry issued a notice, positioning PHS as "the supplement and extension of fixed telephone", which indicated that the policy of restricting the development of PHS began to loosen; From June 5438 to February 2002, PHS service was completely banned in areas except Beijing and Shanghai. In February 2004, PHS conquered the last big city and officially entered Shanghai. It is understood that China Telecom has invested more than 60 billion yuan in PHS business, and China Unicom has invested more than 30 billion yuan in this business. The global users of PHS reached its peak in 2006. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Information Industry, by the end of August 2006, there were 93 million PHS users in China. Overseas PHS users exceed 7 million. Global PHS users have exceeded 1 100 million. At that time, about 1 people used PHS on average in China. Darkness is inevitable for TD to be eliminated. At the end of 2004, when PHS reached its peak, Wu Ying, the bearded man of UT Starcom, once put down his words: "There is no problem for PHS users to reach10.5 billion." In fact, at that time, the pressure faced by PHS has gradually emerged. At that time, someone questioned Wu Ying face to face: With the coming of 3G megatrend, PHS will come to an end sooner or later. Wu Ying said: "Even if 3G licenses are issued, it will not affect the development of PHS. Its ultimate role is to replace the last mile of copper wire. " After breaking through 1 100 million users in 2006, PHS gradually began to decline. China Mobile and China Unicom adjusted their prices for many times under multiple pressures, and gradually pushed PHS to a dead end. After the price advantage gradually disappeared, PHS customers kept losing. According to the latest data, by the end of 2008, the number of PHS users was 68.93438+0000, which fell below the 7000 mark. Later, UT Starcom moved to WCDMA, and Wu Ying also resigned as president of the company and left PHS. 065438+2009 10, when China Unicom announced its 2008 performance forecast, it even listed PHS as an impaired asset. After the latest document issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, PHS will clear the frequency and withdraw from the network within three years to make way for the new favorite 3G. Xu Fuxin, the "father of PHS", was not reconciled to PHS's sudden departure. "Although there are fewer users now, there is still a lot of room in its market." Xu said that the arrival of 3G is not the end of PHS, but a liberation. In Japan, PHS users exceed 5 million, and its high-speed transmission business accounts for more than 50%. The domestic PHS technology is not backward, the cost can be further reduced, and the phone bill can be cheaper. "Why must it be eliminated?" "For operators, PHS roaming problem can't be solved, and it is a product with no prospect. Now that China Telecom has obtained a mobile license, no one wants to repeat the mistakes of Unicom's CDMA and GSM networks. " There is operator analysis. Yu Yashi, an insider, commented that at the beginning, because of the insufficient competition in the communication market caused by administrative power, China people who were not rich paid the most expensive mobile phone bills in the world for a long time, and the "non-mainstream" PHS came out. "Although it is an official document that delisted PHS, its essence is the result and necessity of benign competition in the market." "It is normal for a product to withdraw from the market after more than ten years of development. I am very happy. " Wu Ying wants people to forget that glorious history. ■ What is worth looking forward to in PHS era after industrial analysis? The exit of PHS, although somewhat helpless, will not lead to the development of the industry. There is no PHS, but 3G is still waiting for us. Moreover, because of the gradual disappearance of PHS, the needs of low-end users in the telecom operation market are bound to need new services to meet. The elimination of PHS mobile phones also means that nearly 70 million replacement needs will be released in the next three years, which will not make the giants in the industrial chain full of expectations. Low-end tariff war will be wonderful. PHS is the product of a special period. At that time, the closure of telecom operation policy created an alternative product called "wireless local telephone", but there is no doubt that the emergence of PHS did meet the basic communication needs of a large number of low-end users, and even attracted some special high-end users. According to the survey, the main users of PHS are middle-aged and elderly people, and their roaming demand is less, and their monthly phone bill is around 50 yuan. Some government civil servants and medical staff are also attracted by its low radiation. Now PHS will be delisted, how to meet the needs of these users is undoubtedly a problem that operators such as China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile will study. As far as the existing tariff systems of the three major operators are concerned, there are still quite few that can be directly compared with PHS in terms of tariff concessions. In order to attract delisted PHS users, operators undoubtedly need to formulate more competitive tariff plans. In this regard, Yang Qun, telecom industry analyst of Warring States Policy Consulting Agency, said: "The establishment of the competition pattern of the three major operators after telecom restructuring has already doomed the development direction of tariff competition and upgrading. The competition for PHS users who quit the network will directly detonate this new war. " The era of multi-mode mobile phones will come, and it is expected that the mobile phone terminal market will be equally exciting. At present, the total number of mobile phone users in China has exceeded 500 million. The huge stock market itself means the huge demand for users to change their mobile phones. Compared with the continuous decline of mobile phone charges, the multimedia and intelligence of mobile phone terminals are on the rise. PHS users have been losing in recent years. In addition to the declining tariffs of mobile operators, another important reason is that the technology of their mobile terminals is relatively backward, and multimedia functions are basically absent. But now PHS is doomed to withdraw from the market, and the remaining nearly 70 million users have the right to re-select, which is good for terminal manufacturers. The first is to expand the base of people who change planes, and the second is that the promotion of high-end products has more audiences. In addition, due to the coexistence of GSM, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and other standards in China's 3G era, mid-to-high-end dual-mode or even multi-mode mobile phones will show a rich momentum in the market. Li Wang, executive vice president of Yulong Coolpad, said that multi-modal mobile phones are the general trend in the future. In 3G technologies such as TD-SCDMA and CDMAEVDO, operators need to rely on the support of multi-mode mobile phones to compete for high-end users. Even for the delisting users of PHS, due to the diversity of China's mobile networks and the fierce competition in tariffs, multi-mode mobile phones can meet the needs of some high-end users. (Reporter Cheng Peng) The reporter retired when he wrote it down. Don't say PHS has finally retired. As a user who has used PHS for many years, it is inevitable to feel a little regret. Although PHS quit this time to make way for the domestic 3G process, in all fairness, PHS is still quite easy to use. Personally, I don't quite agree with the statement that PHS technology is backward and should have been eliminated long ago. This time PHS was confirmed to quit, and the "technology backwardness theory" was once again clamored on the Internet. I strongly oppose it. In Japan, where mobile communication technology is the most popular, PHS still has millions of users, and fashionable internet access, mobile payment and wireless value-added services are also readily available, and the technology is scalable. In recent years, the network speed of PHS in Japan is also constantly improving, and it is almost catching up with 3G. What's behind it? Now that the overall situation of PHS delisting has been decided, it is of little significance to discuss why PHS delisted. However, hundreds of billions of investment in PHS has been "evaporated" by a piece of official document, and tens of millions of users are waiting for the "lesson" of unknown fate, which is worth learning and reflecting. You know, when PHS was used, many people said that the technology was backward, but this backward technology was still used and it cost hundreds of billions. If this is a mistake, I hope that our telecom industry management organization will never make it again, because it is really expensive. The frequency band is a certain frequency range. For example, the medium wave broadcasting frequency range is 526.2 kHz to1605.2kHz.. Other services also have their own frequency bands. In addition, radio stations operating in each frequency band have their own frequencies. For example, 540 kHz is a special frequency allocated to China National Broadcasting Station in the medium wave broadcasting band. Each radio station can only use its own dedicated frequency within the specified frequency band and cannot use it indiscriminately, otherwise it will confuse each other and cause interference. Just like cars and pedestrians in fast and slow lanes and sidewalks, different cars go their own way. Therefore, they do not collide with each other and do not interfere with each other. I hope this information can help you _
