After all, they only officially established the mobile phone terminal department in June this year. The Huawei PHS mobile phone they are working on actually has no technology. It is just an OEM product. Simply put, it is an assembly machine.
Under this situation, even if Huawei Technology is determined and has invested money in developing its own core technology, it is impossible for this core technology to produce results immediately.
If you want to develop your own core technology for mobile phones and have your own core technical features and selling points, it will take at least three or four years to achieve results.
After all, Huawei Technology does not have a perverted R&D genius. They cannot develop so many core technologies in less than a year like Sugon Technology, nor can they achieve the perverted R&D speed of Sugon Technology.
At this time, if they really reach a cooperation with Sugon Technology on mutual licensing of technology patents, it will be equivalent to getting a ladder to the sky, even if they cannot surpass Sugon Technology.
That is enough to beat domestic Hashishima mobile phones, Jinli mobile phones, TLC mobile phones... and even compete with foreign mobile phone giants!
As for the communication technology patent authorization that Huawei Technology has accumulated for more than 20 years, it is indeed very valuable to say that it is valuable, but it is indeed not valuable to say that it is not valuable.
After all, the global share of technology patents such as 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA does not exceed 7%.
Even if Sugon Technology obtains these technology patent authorizations, it will not be successful and it will still be a weakling in front of foreign communication giants.
As for the possibility that the two sides will become competitors in terms of 4G mobile communication technology in the future, we will talk about the future in the future. It is useless to dwell on these now.
"How do you want to exchange authorizations?"
Yu Chengxi, who was so excited, asked Lin Chen straight to the point without waiting for Ren Zhengfei and Meng Yazhou to speak.
Faced with Yu Chengxi's straight-to-the-point words, Lin Chen paused for a moment and then slowly replied:
"We are willing to use the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture license and the Sugon mobile phone system semi-open source license to mutually authorize technology patents with your company."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, everyone at the scene, including Ren Zhengfei, Meng Yazhou and Yu Chengxi, were slightly startled, and then their faces suddenly lit up with joy.
First of all, Sugon Technology is willing to license the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture, which is the highest level of authorization for chip design.
There are currently three main types of global instruction set architecture authorization. The first is instruction set architecture authorization, the second is kernel-level authorization, and the last is usage-level authorization.
Among them, if Huawei Technology obtains the authorization of the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture, it can start from the Phoenix S1 architecture and instruction set to significantly transform the Phoenix S1 architecture.
The Phoenix S1 instruction set can even be expanded or reduced to achieve different purposes such as higher performance, lower power consumption, or lower cost.
As for what comes after, there is kernel-level authorization. This kernel-level authorization is currently the most common authorization in the mobile phone industry.
Once you have a core-level authorization, you can use this core to combine it with other self-designed chips to ultimately form a chip with stronger functions and comprehensive performance.
This kind of kernel authorization is also very easy for research and development, which is equivalent to building a house on a foundation built by others, very quickly.
But the disadvantage is that there is no way to escape the cage of others, because the core is already fixed and you cannot change it, which is equivalent to dancing with shackles.
Among them, Texas Instruments' OMAP1710 mobile phone processor has obtained kernel-level authorization. They can use the ARM926 core but cannot change it, and the core performance will always stop here.
As for the last usage-level authorization, it is simple. It is equivalent to directly licensing the complete chip to you. With the usage authorization, you can go directly to the foundry to produce the chip.
So at this time, Sugon Technology is willing to provide instruction set architecture level authorization, which is extraordinary.
It is equivalent to Huawei Technology being able to directly add or delete the instruction set architecture based on the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture to create its own unique mobile phone chip with its own unique selling points.
Moreover, with the authorization of the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture, it is not necessary to develop mobile phone chips in the future. In fact, the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture can also be applied to the chip design of other devices, which has a wide range of uses.
However, at this time, Huawei Technology did not know that if the two parties cooperated, there would actually be an invisible mandatory requirement in the agreement.
This requirement is that they can only use it for their own use and cannot sell mobile phone chips using the Phoenix S1 instruction set to other companies!
Otherwise, every mobile phone manufacturer can have a mobile phone chip with the Phoenix S1 instruction set, even if it is just a modified version of Huawei.
But Sugon Technology has invisibly lost a big selling point of its mobile phone processor? So even if the agreement is really reached, only Huawei Technology can use it for its own use and cannot sell it to outsiders.
Of course, at this time, Ren Zhengfei and others were not only happy to obtain the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture authorization, but the subsequent semi-open source use rights of Sugon mobile phone system were even more attractive.
First, it has the possibility to develop special mobile phone chips, and then it can also obtain a semi-open source operating system.
This means that the mobile phones they produce will be able to use the Sugon mobile system and directly have the huge game and software ecosystem on the Sugon mobile system, which directly saves a lot of energy.
Although they seem to have the Symbian system as an option, they do not necessarily have to use the Sugon mobile system.
However, the Sugon mobile phone system is a very easy-to-use mobile phone system, and the response speed is very fast. Compared with the bloated Symbian system, it is a super easy-to-use system.
Moreover, the Sugon mobile system has 60% of the popular games on major platforms, which is impossible for the Saipan system. With 60% of the popular games on major platforms, the Sugon mobile system is naturally destined to survive in the global market.
Moreover, the ecosystem and user circle of Sugon's mobile phone system are getting larger and larger. It currently has tens of millions of users around the world, and tens of millions of users will be around the corner next year.
If Huawei Technology really obtains the semi-open source license for Sugon's mobile phone system, and finally uses the special Huawei mobile phone chip, then they will be equivalent to soaring into the sky.
"It seems that our Huawei Technology is going to suffer a lot."
Faced with the shocking temptation offered by Lin Chen, Ren Zhengfei expressed that he could not refuse at all.
After all, if Huawei Technology really obtains the authorization for the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture and the semi-open source use authorization for the Sugon mobile system, its strength will soar to the level second only to Sugon Technology.
In this regard, Lin Chen said that Huawei Technology can be laughed at, but in fact it is Shuguang Technology that should be laughed at secretly.
Because Huawei Technology seems to be able to avoid detours for a few years, and in a short period of time, its strength has directly surpassed Boshima Mobile, Jinli Mobile, and TLC Mobile, and its strength is only lower than Sugon Mobile.
But in reality, they can never break free from the clutches of Sugon Technology. They are controlled by Sugon Technology and can only be its vassals!
Because they only obtained the authorization for the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture!
After this, Sugon Technology will definitely launch the next generation Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture. What if they cannot obtain the authorization of the Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture?
Salad!
In the previous life in 2019, .M Company cut off the authorization of Huawei Technology's .M v9 architecture. This behavior directly caused Huawei Technology to be trapped in the .M v8 architecture.
In the end, because Huawei Technology's technology and performance were not updated and improved in time, and then coupled with off-site factors, Huawei HiSilicon chips gradually disappeared from the crowd.
Of course, if Huawei Technology has its own mobile operating system, it can develop its own second-generation Huawei S2 instruction set architecture based on the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture.
But do they have their own system?
No!
