Why is the digital walkie-talkie high price?

 

As a hot topic in the current industry, the digital series of walkie-talkies has gradually formed an industrialization trend from nothing to nothing. It can be said that it has brought revolutionary changes to the “communication of buildings” industry. However, since its entry into the market, it has been facing a high price. . It is understood that compared with the ordinary equivalent screen intercom, the digital walkie-talkie (smart terminal) is about two to three times higher. Compared with ordinary building intercoms, why is the price of digital walkie-talkies higher?

 

Performance PK between the two, who is really "high"?

 

The whole structure of the digital walkie-talkie and the ordinary walkie-talkie is different. The ordinary video walkie-talkie is generally a single-product machine, and the processing capability is relatively small. The digital walkie-talkie is a dual-core multimedia processor, similar to the working principle of the dual-core notebook computer, and the cost is high in the block. A lot, and there are differences on the screen, the ordinary walkie-talkie is basically an analog screen, and the digital terminal is a digital screen of the touch-type human-machine exchange. In addition, the two are very different in other technologies. The digital intercom uses all-digital technology transmission, which does not appear to be busy, and has the advantages of high quality, long transmission distance and strong anti-interference ability.

 

Technical advantages of digital intercom

 

Due to the difference in construction, the manufacturing cost of the digital walkie-talkie is much higher than that of the ordinary walkie-talkie. In addition, the digital intercom system has complex technology and long development cycle. The research and development of the digital intercom system requires a long-term investment of very large manpower, material resources and financial resources. It is not possible to see economic benefits in the short term. This series of factors has led to the price of a digital intercom single terminal being higher than that of a regular intercom. In an interview with Qianjia.com, Wang Weibing, deputy general manager of Xingtianxia Technology, said: "At present, the higher comprehensive cost of a single digital intercom terminal will lead to higher prices, but the digital intercom will bring customers The revenue comes far more than its cost. We can't just look at the price of a single terminal in an indoor unit. We have to look at the overall cost of the entire project. The digital building intercom system must be more expensive and costly than the analog intercom system. It is a misunderstanding. In some of the large community cases we have contacted, customers have found that the actual combined cost of the digital intercom system is lower than the comprehensive cost of the analog intercom system. Why is this, we can come from the following aspects Analysis: First, you can directly use the campus broadband built by telecom operators to save on network investment costs. Second, for multi-phase development projects, you don't need multiple computer rooms, only one. Also, the location of this equipment room is not required. Can be placed anywhere where business value is not high. Can save a lot of quality sales area; third, analog intercom The network mode is complex, the partition is large, the maintenance workload is large, and the maintenance cost is high. The digital intercom maintenance is simple and saves a lot of maintenance and management costs. From the perspective of large-scale project system planning and long-term use cost, the digital system comprehensive cost is better than the analog system. The overall cost is small."

 

Will the price of digital walkie-talkies decline in the future?

 

At present, although the price of digital walkie-talkie is relatively high compared to ordinary walkie-talkies, it has fallen to the extent that developers can afford it when it was first launched in 2003. bell". In the future, as the technology continues to mature, can the price of the digital walkie-talkie be reduced, so as to achieve a price balance with the ordinary walkie-talkie? In this regard, Qianjiao Security Network reporter interviewed Anjubao’s pre-sales chief engineer Shi Zhi, who said: "I think that the future digital intercom price will slowly go inside. If the purchase volume is large, the price will definitely be lower. It depends mainly on mass production. The more users, the lower the price will be. The same, if the analog screen intercom purchase As the quantity becomes less, then its price will rise again. In the future market, we are very optimistic about the development of digital intercom, and from our entire sales system, it is also increasing every year.” Shenzhen Hao Lai Technology Sales Manager Hong Wei also believes that the overall price of digital walkie-talkie The downward trend is mainly a core chip problem, development costs and mold costs. As the volume increases, the cost will gradually drop.
