Analysis: The telecommunication operator recombinates Wi-Fi under to guess
While the Chinese telecommunication industry recombinated to move ahead with higher speed, one in the future to move fight of Internet already position blocking in new and three great to move in the operator launching quietly.
Have media report Jilin the intersection of network and coherent first the intersection of WiMAX and wireless the intersection of broadband and test point offer commissioning service in the loose former branch company recently, the purpose is to try the whole province 450M large well informed solution of covering the area to surf the Net with broadband. And the next test point will open many kinds of video business on the basis of offering to user and surfing the Net with broadband, utilize subscriber station's second line of a couplet Wi-Fi to link with LAN technology at the same time, try to cover more broadband users, in order to reduce the comprehensive construction cost of the apparatus.
Outwardly, this seems to be telecommunication operator is " open in every village " Continuity of project, the intersection of operator and not merely herein genuine purpose. Because the new pattern after telecommunications are recombinated: China Mobile, China Telecom, CHINAUNICOM have one's own advantages.
China's moving advantage lies in absolutely leading in moving the number of users, though may receive the totally mature TD license plate of an industry chain, but there is support of state policies, under the policy of TD industry chain and double support of fund, mushroom, where to go will not be worse than WCDMA license plate; The advantages of China Telecom and CHINAUNICOM are not on air shower's users and CDMA number of users, also already had a telephone subscriber of fixed net, it is the broadband network with a China wired and wireless Wi-Fi, this kind of advantage has the mobile internet era that may extend to coming soon continuously.
Materials, Company of iSuppli, reveal, Chinese operator of fixed net has invested a huge sum of money in Wi-Fi has been hot to disposing, up to the end of 2007, China has 5420 Wi-Fi focuses in all, among them, 45%, former of the China Netcom that former China Telecom accounts for total quantity accounts for 9% accounting for 17%, former of the CHINAUNICOM to account for 27%, former of the China Mobile.
However, Wi-Fi hot quantity swells and presents at the beginning of this year. The analyst of iSuppli Company reveals, begins to increase sharply Wi-Fi focus in Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places in former China Telecom at the beginning of this year, get 4 and hot quantity, Wi-Fi of China, reach 10,000 already May, overwhelming majority China Telecom disposed. ISuppli expectation will have reached 12689 by the end of 2008, Wi-Fi focus will cover a gleam of city of almost all the in China by 2012, China Wi-Fi hot quantity will rise to 38722 by 2012, it is more than 7 times of 5420 in 2007.
Though the fixed net runs quotient representation, Wi-Fi focus is a kind of supplement of its broadband service of fixed net, but the fact is: Telecommunications are recombinated and said to culminate at the beginning of this year of the end of last year, even telecommunication operator seems to see the moment when is recombinated has already come. Or else overall arrangement at this moment, where is one's own advantage in the future?
Because if the operator of fixed net sets up Wi-Fi focus in China as early as possible, the space that future can be imagined will be limitless, become, break China Mobile one great best edge toll to monopolize pattern alone recombinate.
Because the shop signs of the Olympic Games, wireless city, because there is no mature commercial mode, the real purposes of China Telecom and CHINAUNICOM are well hidden.
If there are abundant Wi-Fi focuses, means that has omnipresent high-speed movement Internet in the first and second class city, and the mobile subscriber APUE value of the first and second class city is most high. China Telecom and CHINAUNICOM can well introduce the Wi-Fi cell-phone phoning not to need the money to block China Mobile, what's more, exchange the appearance of PC, the boundary line between notebook computer and mobile phone is no longer clearly demarcated, the users of more consumption electronic products such as the computer, game machine, mobile phone can all be referred to as Wi-Fi users.
Is Wi-Fi technology really so good? May not in fact, because Wi-Fi network will often receive the signal interference and deficient influence of the bandwidth, thus has led to the fact the service quality becomes poor, this has been destined Wi-Fi to be a supplementary access technology.
But the communication technology of China Telecom, CHINAUNICOM and GSM, WCDMA, CDMA and four mainstreams of CDMA2000, Wi-Fi as an addition to these four kinds of major communication technology, such as mobile phone being GSM and Wi-Fi, CDMA, the intersection of bimodulus and Mobile,etc. of Wi-Fi, take the form of the monthly payment in charging, and increase the various data to employ and keep users here at the same time. Can not China Telecom and CHINAUNICOM contend with China Mobile? Because 3G of Hong Kong Pacific Century CyberWorks realized the real reason to make profits last year: Four which makes a integration Wi-Fi, WCDMA, GSM and television network unifies the network.
However, it is very difficult for everything to make the judgement at this point.
"Wi-Fi is really a trend that can be seen, but could become the strong point of the telecommunication pattern in the future, the variable still exists. " The analyst of iSuppli Company says. Because, the Wi-Fi cell-phone is still prohibinted in China, and the backbone network behind Wi-Fi focus needs WIMAX technical support, and WIMAX development in China at present, is also only used in the urban informationization.
But reality is: New masters such as the rainbow, Sino-Singaporean bridge of country of home-made cellphone producer,etc. already research and develop the Wi-Fi cell-phone.
