The First Research Institute of Posts and Telecommunications Science and Technology, formerly known as the First Research Institute of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, was established in 1957 and is directly under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
In August 1986, senior engineer Liu Ximing presided over the successful development of the national "Sixth Five-Year Plan" scientific and technological research project, my country's first set of digital program-controlled switches (DS-2000 type). With the cooperation of ten other institutes, we completed the overall design and development of the DS-2000 digital program-controlled switch, the design and development of software and hardware, and successfully developed the first scientific research prototype of the digital program-controlled switch in China. In September of that year, it passed the Ministry of Post D level appraisal meeting, reaching the level of Western countries in the early 1980s.
Liu Ximing won the National Outstanding Scientific and Technological Worker and the National "May 1st" Labor Award, and was received by national leaders.
In August 1987, the State Electronics Promotion Office, the State Economic Commission and the State Science and Technology Commission listed the "medium and large capacity digital program-controlled switch" as a local telephone project among the 75-69-03 national "Seventh Five-Year Plan" key scientific and technological projects. The First Research Institute of Posts and Telecommunications Science and Technology was established, with the goal of achieving a final capacity of 20,000 doors.
The Software Institute of China K Academy is responsible for the operation of local telephone systems and software.
The First Institute of Posts and Telecommunications Science and Technology and the Tenth Institute of Posts and Telecommunications Science and Technology jointly undertake the task of industrial testing of DS-2000 digital program-controlled switching. The former provides scientific research results and software technical support, and the latter is responsible for the hardware production and construction of the digital program-controlled switches. The machine production line is required to have an annual production capacity of 20,000 units. It is planned to produce two industrial test prototypes by August 1988.
So far, due to lack of funds, only one industrial test prototype has been produced.
"Lao Li, this is a shortcoming of the National Q. I am worried about the market prospects of the PDS-800 digital program-controlled switch being developed by the institute."
In April 1988, the First Institute of Posts and Telecommunications Science and Technology, with the cooperation of Taizhou Electronic Instrument Factory, established a project to develop a scientific research prototype of an 800-door PDS-800 digital program-controlled switch.
"Old Liu, this is what I'm worried about too!"

Chang'an, Tenth Research Institute of Posts and Telecommunications Science and Technology.
"Chief Engineer Wan, Director Li called to ask about the production status of the second DS-2000 industrial test prototype? You must have seen the CCTV advertisement of SG-1000? The state does not provide money, what can we do?"
Director Guo Chengmin also watched the CCTV advertisement of SG-1000, and he was not worried. It was a lie. In April 1987, when he received the complete set of technical information on DS-2000, Institute 10 regarded this project as the most important project in the institute. Project, concentrated the manpower and material resources in the institute, and with the support of the software technology provided by the first institute, an industrial test prototype was produced in less than half a year, which passed the technical appraisal of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and received unanimous praise.
The 10th Institute applied to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications for more than 4.5 million U.S. dollars to introduce a 2,000-door digital program-controlled switch production line from Japan. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications reported to the National Committee of the Communist Party of China. The National Committee of the People's Republic of China said that the Shanghai Hibell Company was still in a state of loss. There is no need to repeat the introduction and type back the report.
At the beginning of this year, the National Committee approved the application report, but the Ministry of Finance still has to subsidize Shanghai Bell's losses. There is no remaining budget in this year's budget, so it can only apply for next year's budget.
"Director Guo, should we suggest to the Department of Postal Service that we license the DS-2000 technology patent to other domestic telecommunications equipment factories and let them find a way? We and the Institute will provide technical support."
"General Manager Wan's proposal is a good one."

Luoyi, School of Information Engineering.
"Teacher Lu, Teacher Luo, have you seen the advertisement for Shuguang digital program-controlled switches broadcast on CCTV?"
Lu Guoxiong and Luo Xingguo walked into the office together, and Wu Jianxing asked.
In 1985, Wu Jianxing, a 32-year-old young teacher from the University of Information Engineering, was leading his team to develop the DP300 computer system with a speed of 500 million operations per second. Unexpectedly, during the critical period of the project, hundreds of people were laid off. Ten thousand, the project was on the list of cuts, and several years of hard work was locked in a cabinet.
Everything came to an abrupt end. What the talented teacher Wu did became a big problem. Later, the school's school-run factory had no projects. The school leaders suggested to Teacher Wu that you go and make a program-controlled switch. Although I think the switch is not as advanced as a computer. , but as a soldier, you can only obey.
Director Wu led a team of fifteen people and started the research and development of analog program-controlled switches with a R&D fund of 150,000 yuan allocated by the leadership of the hospital.
After more than a year of hard work, Wu Jianxing's team finally successfully developed a thousand-door analog program-controlled switch. After passing the argumentation of the expert group of the Department of Posts and Telecommunications, they obtained the postal and telecommunications network access certificate and the company's invention patent. They are contacting manufacturers for production and plan to wait until they receive the patent transfer fee. Later, he continued to study thousands of digital program-controlled switches.
"Director Wu, look, Pengcheng Shuguang Communication Technology Company is forcing us to move forward.
Only if we successfully develop 10,000 digital program-controlled switches can we have a voice in this domestic industry! "
"Mr. Lu was right. I went directly to the China Post and Telecommunications Corporation. We cooperated with them, starting with the development of thousands of digital program-controlled switches and developing 10,000-door program-controlled switches."

Huhai Bell Company.
"Mayor Zhu, the unit price of the digital program-controlled switches produced by Pengcheng Shuguang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. is only 1,188 yuan. Do you still want to live? This is an act that disrupts the market price of digital program-controlled switches!"
Li Dagui, General Manager and Chairman of Shanghai Bell China, watched the CCTV advertisement of Pengcheng Shuguang Communication Technology Co., Ltd.'s SG-1000 last night. He was so angry that he couldn't sleep well all night. He started playing after going to work the next day. Called Mayor Zhu to complain.
Although it is still losing money, Mayor Zhu is very optimistic about the development prospects of Huhai Bell.
The domestic market for digital program-controlled switches is vast.
In 1982, the Ministry of Postal Affairs decided to introduce digital program-controlled switch production lines from abroad. After repeated consideration, it was finally decided to establish a joint venture with the Belgian Bell Company to produce digital program-controlled telephone switching equipment.
China holds 60% of the shares.
Since 1984, Li Dagui has participated in the preparation of Shanghai Bell. In October 1985, Shanghai Bell officially started construction, using S12 series digital program-controlled switch technology.
The annual design and production capacity is 300,000 doors.
After the completion of Shanghai Bell, the price of the 10,000-door digital program-controlled switches produced was very high because they used a large number of imported spare parts. The unit price was 3,150 yuan.
The product has no price advantage and is difficult to sell.
We encountered financial pressure and technical problems, as well as the competitiveness of the product itself.
Shanghai Bell's life was not easy and it continued to suffer losses. The Ministry of Finance and the Shanghai Finance Bureau had to provide subsidies. The leaders of the Ministry of Finance and the Economic Commission suggested that Shanghai Bell should be localized to reduce costs and boost domestic demand. .
After more than a year of hard work, the unit selling price has now dropped to more than 2,800 yuan. Although it is still a loss, everyone sees the expectation of profitability.
If the unit price is reduced to NT$2,300, we can make a profit!
Pengcheng Shuguang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Shanghai Shuguang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. The Shuguang brand touch-tone telephones produced by Pengcheng Shuguang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. are now in short supply. It is said that the successfully developed Shuguang brand digital pager is in the company's invention patent disclosure stage.
It is said that after the SG-1000 digital program-controlled switch passed the appraisal of the national expert group, Deputy Mayor Huang, who is in charge of industrial production, invited Shanghai Shuguang Communication Technology Company to enter the Caohejing High-tech Development Zone on behalf of the Shanghai government, and allocated five paid fees in Zone D. Ten acres of land are exempt from land development fees, and they promise to be exempted from paying corporate income tax for three years after the high-tech enterprise certification certificate approved by the Science and Technology Bureau is issued.
