Beijing News - Exploring the "Breaking the Blockade" Starlight Technology, How Far Is It from "Shining" the World?
Preface
The Bluetooth SIG is a multinational organization that promotes Bluetooth technology and is headquartered in Washington, D.C., USA.
In 2019, the Bluetooth SIG announced that it would expel Huawei, and in 2023, Huawei will return with its own "Starlight" technology!
So, what exactly is Huawei's "Starlight" technology?
Bluetooth Special Interest Consortium
Bluetooth technology is a low-energy, low-cost radio technology that enables devices to communicate over short distances.
By using a short-range radio link instead of a dedicated cable, it is convenient for people to move indoors or outdoors.
At a wireless communications industry conference, an engineer from Intel proposed "Bluetooth" as the standard name for Bluetooth.
In 1998, Toshiba, Ericsson, Intel and Nokia jointly proposed the NFC digital communication technology standard, and the Bluetooth standard was officially established.
It was also in this year that several communication companies, including Motorola, Nokia, Toshiba and Intel, established the Bluetooth Technology Alliance.
Since its establishment in 1998, the Bluetooth Alliance has included more than 200 alliance members, as well as about 6,000 application member companies.
Enterprises around the world, as long as they want to use the "Bluetooth" related trademarks and sell products in the market, must pay trademark usage fees and product certification fees to the Bluetooth SIG!
The alliance also has three levels of membership, with Level 1 paying $10,000 per year, Level 2 members paying $5,000 and Level 3 members free.
And each Bluetooth product of this third-level member or non-member needs to spend a certification fee of nearly $10,000 when testing.
Huawei was also a member of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) before the United States began to impose restrictions on China's Huawei and ZTE.
However, in 2019, Huawei was "kicked out" of the Bluetooth SIG.
So, what's going on here?
Huawei was kicked out
As a modern advanced technology, Bluetooth technology has also brought a lot of convenience to people's lives.
Take daily life as an example, almost all of the gamepads and wireless headphones we use need to rely on Bluetooth for use.
Previously, Huawei was also a member of the Bluetooth Alliance, but in 2018, the United States began to restrict Huawei's development in various aspects.
In 2019, the Bluetooth SIG announced that it would expel Huawei!
You know, although this Bluetooth technology alliance is an alliance of global technology companies, its headquarters is located in Bellevue, Washington, USA.
After such an association, it is not difficult for us to understand why Huawei was kicked out of the Bluetooth Technology Alliance.
After all, Huawei's momentum in recent years has been very strong, and it has faintly "threatened" the status of the United States' technological hegemony.
In order to limit Huawei's development, the United States has also begun a series of encirclement.
Not only does it restrict the sale of various high-end chips to China, but it also does not allow high-end lithography machines to be sold to China, just to make Huawei disappear into the long river of history.
However, Huawei did not slump as the United States wanted, but became more and more courageous, not only in the semiconductor industry, but also broke through many key technologies one after another.
That's because Huawei did not sit idly by in the face of such a target, but developed wireless communication technology from scratch.
Finally, in 2023, Huawei will make a strong return with its own "Starlight", beating a lot of WIFI and Bluetooth!
What exactly is Huawei's "Starlight"?
"Starlight" shines brightly
"It's very silky and smooth, it's like holding a paintbrush and drawing on paper, and the experience is very good, it's the most direct feeling. ”
This sentence comes from the speech of an UP master, who felt after experiencing the star flash stylus of the Huawei Mate Pad.
With the blessing of Starlight technology, not only can the stylus be more comfortable writing and drawing on the tablet, but the wireless headphones can also listen to music without loss.
On September 25, 2023, at Huawei's autumn product launch conference, Huawei's Yu Chengdong announced on the spot that his latest tablet supports Starlight technology.
This Starlight technology is a new type of wireless short-range communication technology, which is developing towards ultra-wideband, low latency, high reliability, and empathy.
In terms of performance, Starlight technology also has a lot of advantages, because Starlight technology combines the advantages of Bluetooth and WiFi, whether it is in the maximum number of connections or latency, it has achieved a very big surpass!
Yu Chengdong said: "What's more important is that it is backward compatible with Bluetooth and WiFi, it is definitely far ahead!"
It is worth mentioning that the delay of Xiangshan can achieve a delay of 20 microseconds, which is also the first time that human wireless connection technology can enter the microsecond level.
As it stands, WiFi currently has a latency of as low as 10 milliseconds.
Moreover, in Huawei's new product releases, many products have incorporated Starlight technology, and in the future, it is only a matter of time before "Starlight shines in the world".
In fact, in addition to the field of communication technology, China's independent innovation has made breakthroughs one after another from the semiconductor industry to satellite navigation and then to biotechnology.
We gradually mastered the key core technology, and then we no longer relied on foreign companies.
And the president of ASML said: There is no hope for isolating China!
There is no hope for isolating China
On May 28 last year, the domestic C919 large passenger aircraft successfully completed its first flight and officially entered the civil aviation market.
Large aircraft has always been known as the "pearl of modern manufacturing", and it is also a concentrated embodiment of a country's scientific and technological capabilities and industrial level.
In addition, on August 18 last year, at the space application conference of the manned space project held on the mainland, the mainland said that China's "Tiangong" space station had completed the full construction.
On June 4 last year, Shenzhou-15 successfully returned to Earth, and the three astronauts in Shenzhou-15 also successfully stationed in China's space station.
The six pilots of Shenzhou-15 and Shenzhou-14 also realized the "space rendezvous" for the first time, and the Chinese nation's dream of flying is getting closer and closer.
In the face of a rapidly difficult external environment, Chinese technology companies have forged ahead and risen to the occasion.
And ASML CEO Wen Kening also said in an interview: There is no hope of isolating China!
Because China has a population of 1.4 billion, their wisdom is limitless and they can always think of better solutions.
This view can also be reflected in the behavior of Chinese technology companies in the face of difficulties!
Independent innovation is the key to the success of Chinese enterprises, and Huawei's "Starlight" technology is a typical example.
It is not only more advanced than Bluetooth and WiFi technology, but also backward compatible with them, filling the gap of Bluetooth and WiFi technology in the mainland market.
In the future, Chinese enterprises will become more and more excellent and break through technical barriers in various industries!
